HomeMy WebLinkAboutBN1993_05_26Merchant sailor§: forgotten WW2 heroes By Glenn Hendry All Gordon Brackett ever wanted was to forget. For 50 years the Ajax resident, who spent the Second World War in the Merchant Navy, put most of his memories of the war to the back of his mind. He remembered the good times but had only vague recollections of the bad times, which were many. Brackett, at age 15, joined the Merchant Navy in 1942. He made six round-trip crossings of the Atlantic Ocean as well as three far east voyages, ferrying vital supplies, troops and food for the Allied war effort. He survived some of the worst fighting in the way. Convoys containing as many as 140 ships would leave for the crossing and sometimes only half would make it safely to Europe. "fve seen convoys of 50 ships go out and maybe 20 would make h," Brackett recalled during an interview with The Bay News. German U-boats, usually traveling in what were called "wolf packs," sank some 2,600 British and Canadian merchant ships during the Battle of the Atlantic — the name given to all sea battles on the Atlantic Ocean during the war. More than 1,100 Canadian merchant sailors died during those naval engagements. '. Brackett himself served on ships that were torpedoed twice. On one occasion he found himself alone, floating in the middle of the w'= , Mediterranean Sea — eventually picked up by a destroyer. Another time, he spent five days floating or a raft with other sdors when their ship went down in the Indian Ocean. The water was warm, but it was terrifying nonetheless." He was in Bari, Italy when the city was rocked by explosions. He was in Bombay, India when the harbor "blew up." During a trip - "'x' from Spain via England to Murmansk in Russias arctic, the convoy l? Brackett served on came under constant fire. After that voyage Brackett ended up in a hospital in Scotland — ahho ugh he doesn't remember getting there — suffering from 13 different leg wounds. "It was just a contin txxs battle. Once you were in it, you were in it until you reached port, and sometimes there, too." But according to the federal government, the werchant sailors werent bona fide military sailors. The aavivors, and those who paid the ukimate sacrifice, received no recognition, no medals and no benefits. They were cmrsidered private business people who just happened to be catght to the middle of a war am.

AMO says "no" to disentanglement By Glenn Hendry No deal on disentanglement, says the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO). The association announced last week it has rejected the transfer of welfare costs to the province in exchange for property assessment and designated provincial highway costs. But while AMO has not closed the door on future discussion, Ajax Regional Councillor Roger Anderson, an AMO representative, fears no deal may turn into a done deal. "It's up to the province (on future discussions) but I don't think they'll go back to the table," he told The Bay News. "Since we said no to the proposal, I think they'll just implement what they want to implement.' At the heart of the disagreement is the inability of both sides to agree on an appropriate doliar value for general welfare and provincial 3" Ajax Pickering International Metro East Trade Centre BrOCK Rd Norm of 401 m Picxenrg Psychics Clairvoyants mystics Astrologers Palmists Spirituaiists F'iday: May 28 4pm - 11 pm Saturday May 29 11 am 11 pm Sunday May 30 11 am Bpm Admission Only .......... $4 Hourly Door Prizes - Free Parking • • JUNE 39 4, 59 63 Brooklin Community Fair 0111l 730 pm Truck i Tractor Pull — 7:30 pm Brookin air Pap•arM pm Square Danes — 0:00 pm -HEW' D.moi Darey — e.00 SATURDAY, JUNE 5 SUNDAY, JUNE 6 CraA Show • Sale —10:00 arm Crap Show 6 Salo —1090 am, Prada —1030 am, Cruiain' Day —1190 am, Baby Show — t 90 3 3 00 pm Pat Show —1:00 rq lydion 1290 croon) Darrroiian Darby — e do Pm Jack Fiuwap Oaq 190 pm Harrraaa Horan Mae•a130 p Fiddle 8 s>wda�.

"Just as you re ready to vote on a package theyll come in with changes."

Another roadblock in reaching an agreement is the state of provincial highways. Anderson said many roads are in terrible shape.

"The position of the town is there is no validation for successor rights. That's been our position all along," said Ajax Human Resources Director Rick Parisotto, adding that Gan, Lilly, a national CAV representative, admitted at a Jan. 18 Ajax council meeting that the union had little chance of regaining representative rights for Ajax Transit employees. The union represented the transit workers prior to Jan. 1 when the system was operated by Charterways Transport. Those workers who were rehired after the takeover by the Town of Ajax are not represented by a union.

The union is also looking to reinstate 10 drivers not rehired by Ajax Transit, claiming they were discriminated against because of alleged union activities. But Ajax Transit Director Terry Barnett said the succession rights issue will be the only matter addressed at the labor board hearings. "They want succession rights. We said no, and that was that," he explained. "The allegations of unfair hiring practices won't be discussed." Barnett did admit that if the union is successful in gaining the representation rights, the group would likely try to bargain for the return of the 10 drivers along with full redress.

"But they forget we were sailing under orders. We were part of a navy convoy." On Canada Day last year, the federal government — supported by all branches of the armed forces as well as the Royal Canadian Legion — finally recognized the efforts of the wartime Merchant Navy by granting them veteran status. Now Brackett, and other veterans of the Merchant Navy, have achieved the recognition they sought. They also won the rights to medals and benefits previously denied them. The government recognition is long-awaited justice for Brackett, after having been ignored for so many years. He gets "veteran' beside his name as well as military medals. In fact, he received his medals — the 1939-1945 Star, War Medal, Battle of Atlantic Star and Italy Star — only three weeks after the legislation was passed. "I think that's an important part of the story. They were there all the time and nobody told me." The announcement also meant the return of his memories. He had no contact with fellow merchant naval veterans. The group wash t organized like the army, navy and air force — until 1990. In 1992 he attended a reunion with fellow veterans and recently returned from ceremonies in Halifax, attended by 1,000 sailors, commemorating the Battle of the Atlantic. "I had suppressed a lot of the bad memories of the war" Gordon Brackett "I had suppressed a lot of the bad memories of the war — I never talked about it. When I walked out of the Merchant Navy in 1945 I never spoke to anyone about it until three years ago," he said. "I mean, I remembered being torpedoed, but 1 couldn't remember the names of the ships I was on for the longest time." "When I went to the reunion, all the memories, good and bad, came rushing back." For the record, his two ships that met with disaster were the SS Margarit (Mediterranean Sea) and Jasper Park (Indian Ocean). His life at sea during the war years was particularly frightening especially for a boy of 15. Brackett admitted he grew up quickly. But the times weren't ail bad. Thanks to the reunions and Battle of Atlantic ceremonies, he now has plenty of mates to Tehash old memories with His new friends — including two Pickering men he met in Halifax — also helped him remember the good times, W the endless card games, seeing the Taj Mahal and his recuperation time in Scotland, spent with a family who owned a string of pubs. But some bitterness remains, especially over the long delay before Brackett and other merchant mariners received credit for their war service. "rve been to three Battle of Atlantic ceremonies in the past month and it's a very funny feeling for me; it's very hard to describe," Brackett said. "But I know I felt anger for finally being recognized after 50 years."

Deputy Clerk Joe Tiernay said the committee members liked the Homestead Gardens concept of hiring unemployed people or those on welfare to run the hot dog carts, but objected to the company's request for exclusivity. The Town of Ajax, under the Municipal Act, is not allowed to grant monopolies, Tiernay explained. Homestead Gardens, located in Pontypool, Ont., just north of Newcastle, wanted to run 24 hot dog carts in Ajax during the 6 - month warm weather season. The carts would be rented to applicants or. a weekly basis and win returned each evening to the company's Ajax warehouse for cleaning. Homestead Gardens would work with local unemployment officers to staff the hot dog carts. Homestead representative Wayne Bulman told committee that rental income, at $1,000 per location per month, would amount to $144,000. Bulman noted the plan would also take 24 families off the unemployment line. Bulman was told he could not be granted exclusive rights to operate the carts in Ajax but he would be welcome to submit an application.

It was a time when summers were spent enjoying the all -too -brief great weather and everything associated with it. Of course, most young people then spent part, if not al. of that summer time between school semesters working at a job. it was a relatively uncomplicated task back then, to find gainful employment during the summer You probably began baking for a job a few weeks before schod ended. If you had a job the summer before, it was likely you could return to that previous employer and gel that job back. There were a wide-ranging choice of job options as virtually every company sought bright and reliable summer students to pick up the slack during vacation periods for full time employees. .How times have dinged. Pity those young people baking for summer employment these days. Economic streamlining and paring down by those businesses that have survived this recession have virtually eliminated any summer employment Prosipects. While unemployment in Ontario sits at around the 10 per oat mark, an astounding 18.2 per cert of those between the age of 15 W 24 can't find work. Consider that because of today's changing labor needs, it's a lot tougher to find work too. _. Combine that with the fad that it's also each more difficult to stay in school — colleges and universities are turning away applicants in record numbers. h's a hopeless situation in many respells. >'>The social safety ad isn't whit it used to be either.

Ajax Council, after several spirited committee debates, finally granted Markborough Properties permission to demolish the Kingston Road house. —Letters — Farewell to the (Pickering) chiefs) "Showboating" Dear editor: This is a short letter to say 'farewell to the no chiefs," and to thank both Town Manager Noel Marshall and Fire Chief Steve Stewart. When my friends and I first discussed our top farewell it was with the fire chief in mind. Then Tany came the second bombs -d — the retirement of St our popular and excellent town manager. As we understand it, Mr. Marshall was approached by a member of council — not the mayor — who opened the negotiations which has ended with the recent agreement. During our discussions, it was revealed that in the terms of most members, our town has lost A its planning director, works director, fire chief and now the chief himself, Noel Marshall. When one realizes that early retirement, or charov to another job, is a rare occurrence, one must ask "what is wrong with Pickering I Most people in Pickering must be aware of the way the town council with only two no exceptions (Higdon and Van Kempen) has lxrniliated the fire dids recoannedahons on locating the proposed new fire hal, the need of I J a new ladder truck and especially the fiasco regarding the shameful tirade by Councillor Brenner regarding the non-htring of an out -f- TINA town resident as a firdighter. The refusal of council to follow staffs 4t9 r regarding two road ectmsias and the returning of parkland to developers with financial return to the town. These are only a few instances, but a true tndkcation of why Pickering has lost four of its six executive officers — Planning Director Magie, Mr. Hutchison of parks, Fire Chief eve, and worst of A Mr. Noel Marshall. There is little we can do at present, but wish those who have served us so well God speed th and thank you. Do not forget em and what happened. Alex Robertson Pickering hassle Dear editor: Reflecting on the Stephanie Payne versus Showboat -hassle" —let me say without fear or favor that less than 2 per cent of the Toronto population should not and will not have a veto over what the remaining 98 per cent of us decade to watch on stage or elsewhere. Sad to say, also, that Canadians who were not previously biased are now extremely biased. Tom Long Pickering jax shoppers environmentally conscious Dear editor: On Saturday I spent time at an awkwimental display at LOEB grocery store. was able to study the shopping habits of people and noticed many have derided to buy the phosphate 4ype laundry detergents. This is a good step towards keeping Lake Ontario dearer. congratulate the handful of people that bring their own bags to carry groceries. This helps to reduce waste going to the ever filling landfill. LOEB and Food City are generous in giving away free coffee but not one person remembered to lug -a -mug. This would have saved a ton of styrofoam asps from pilug up at the dump. Come on, Ajax. You can do it. Sherry Brown, Ajax Citizens for the Environment the Edbor.

A new reuse centre was opened in Pickering on May 20. The venture is the second centre opened in Durham — one in Oshawa was opened on Nov 6. The facility — a refurbished 45 ft. trailer — will serve as a drop-off for such items as used clothing, sports egLipment, housewares, L,rniture, small appliances, toys and much more. Pickering Regional Councillor Rck Johnson, who attended a ribbon cutting ceremony for the reuse centre at the Brocldngton Mall (southeast corner of Kingston Road and Brock Road) said he hopes the Pickering centre will be as successful as the one in Oshawa. "That facility has diverted more than 36 tonnes from landfill since it first opened," he told The Bay News. "We're targeting high -traffic areas for drop-off locations." The partnership is a relatively simple one. Durham Region has provided the trailer facilities while Goodwill provides the staffing. Goodwill employees Pat Mills Garden Centre & Landscaping $00 TAUNTON RD. W., OSHAWA 7-F `,Di MFAS",..:Eh TIE ;�Y'%i ,lth will man the centre Monday to l Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The region will utilize two trailers. As one is filled it will be taken away and replaced by a second. The program has been extremely successful in other locations. Johnson said that some sites in Toronto fill two trailers each day. In addition to diverting waste that might normally be sent to landfill, the program also provides much-needed employment, the Pickering councillor added. / Ow Coa -N.r ��Hm OVER 100 OfCAMMEAd LNWI� and LaWam . 436-6375 I:ile1r,lAr to r,,,I.►oN hang ti,.a _ . ��� PERSONALIZED LANDSCAPE DESIGN $300-00 WrUmRmC1NM5"Eo( 300' Nursery Pt=nW DURHAM'S COMPOSE CENTRE -- _ Garden Compost lWonq�h Brmg your truck or bang your bucket. $1 X00 -��.- • 4 Per Pickup dill our bags, or Trude Load 81 your own.

Speaking to last week's remarks made by Regional Chairman Gary Herrema and a suggestion to eliminate expensive blue box recycling, Johnson said waste producers should be made to pay the cost of getting rid of excess packaging. Herrema last week said the region could save $6 million by eliminating the popular but expensive blue box recycling program. However, Regional Councillor Johnson, who sits on the region's works committee, suggested manufacturers who produce excessively packaged products and those who buy such items should be made to pay - 'The burden should be on the person purchasing the product from manufacturers," he told The Bay News. "You have to get the manufacturers and ,.isers paying for it." Johnson proposes a scheme he encountered during a tau of waste management facilities in Germany. Certain products tagged with a "green sticker' incorporate an additional cost used to pay for getting rid of Book sale May 27, 28 and 29 'the Parkwood volunteers will present a book sale on May 27, 28 and 29 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

"Why not establish a fund that can be drawn on?" he said, explaining a cost of two or three cents on similar excessively packaged products could offset the current high recycling cost. Johnson also called for more private sector involvement in the area of recycling. The private sector has done a much more effective job in the area of recycling than mur,icipa! operations have. The Pickering councillor proposes establishing a waste management council to include both regional and private sector representatives. The group would be directed to examine recycling efforts and recommend more cos -effective means. "We have to start working now with the private sector," Johnson said. Like Regional Chairman Herrema, Johnson was also critical of the provincia: government and its refusal to 'NEW & USED218 Harwood Avenue S., Ajax Plaza ��'B..rrwnt OFFICE�� Warehouse mat r; ' ' FURNITURE PRINTING PRINTING, OFFICE CENTRE COMPUTER PANTM.OFFICE SUPKES&Fl1RIr7UNE Head Office: 513 WESTNEY ReWl Sbr•: 218 HARWOOD TEL: (418)663.1068 FAX: (4161883.7777 RD.

Plwe an ad In The Bair News Lost A Famd or 686-UTT 1.18, 114 Bay -NeWriiI* May 16:11993 Ajax GO riders get a temporary fare break 4 Gieaa He"v The news out of GO Transit is both good and bad for Ajax Transit risers. The bad news is the transit authority's decision Thursday to cut weekend and off-peak hour service to Ajax and Whitby — a move Ajax Transit Manager Terry Barnett said will cause delays and inconvenience to Ajax GO Transit users. The good news is a planned decision to slash the province's fare integration subsidy in half — a program that allows GO Transit users to ride municipal buses to and from GO stations free — has been delayed for six months. The subsidy cut would have meant a $244,000 shortfall for local transit, which would have had to be made up by Ajax Transit riders in the form of a user fee. Barnett armounced recently at Ajax council that the fees would amara to 50 cents per ride or $20 for monthly passes. I'm plleased the ridersOf our transit system are not being passed down the user fee. That's counter-productive to promoting public transit," he said. Forty-four per cent of riders who take GO Transit from the Ajax station take Ajax Transit to get there. Two weeks ago, GO Transit's board of directors announced the subsidy to municipalities would be cut from 75 per cent to 37.5 per cent, effective July 3. The cutback was the transit authority's answer to $ 6.5 million in operating subsidy cuts from the provincial government. Thanks to some intense lobbying from GO Transit chairman Lou Parsons and Durham Regional Chairman Gary Herrema — who sits on the GO Transit board — the province agreed to delay the subsidy cut for six months. The GO Transit board had asked Parsons to meet with George Dadamo, parliarnentary assistant to Transportation Minister Gilles Pouliot, to discuss ways of reducing the budget without reductions in services. The GO board did agree to a system -wide two per cent fare hike and the elimination of GO's subsidy to the TTC/GO Twin Pass. Ajax Transit received more good news last week with the announcement in the provincial budget that the commercial concentration tax — a fee charged on commercial parking lots — would be eliminated. Barnett said the elimination of the tax means GO Transit can now charge for parking at its Ajax lot. "I'm hoping (if the government cuts the subsidy in January) GO will charge for parking and continue with the fare integration subsidy. The revenue that they generate can be used to subsidize the integration system," Barnett told The Bay News. If they don't, we will be back to charging user fees to riders. It's important to realize that you, me and the riders will bite a quarter of a million dollars. 1 can't absorb that." Barnett said that the loss of weekend and off -hour service to Ajax will mean delays because of transfers to Ajax Transit buses, and some confusion to local transit users. ��OI��frl3� CHOUR$ 1 3, 9 9500* 1993 LOYALE WAGON 'Air Conditioning 'AM/FM e4 WD or Automatic 'Rear Wiper Washer `Tilt Steering 'Cargo Cover 1993 IMPREZA SEDAN 'Air Conditioning 'AM/FM Cassette '11L,16V,,110 HP Engine'Tdt Steering Wheel 'Dual Dashboard Cup Holder SUBAkF".1 C&C MOTORS 1705 DUNDAS AT LAI(ERIDGE RD., WHITBY -1 430-6666 aw .............
