Durham West MPP star of Mike Harris mini -shuffle
by Glenn Hendry
Last month's forecast for
sunny skies in Janet Esker's
political future came true
Friday when the Durham West
MPP was promoted to the
provincial cabinet.
The rookie MPP was the pre-
mier attraction at Premier Mike
Harris' mini -shuffle, moving up
from parliamentary assistant
(to Dave Tsubouchi) to the big
job as minister of Social
Services.
Ecker, like the Jeffersons of
70s TV fame, is movin' on up.
Ecker was the only MPP
who earned promotion from the
ranks to a cabinet post with
portfolio, a fact not lost on the
Toronto media, who labelled
the Ajax resident the "star of
the shuffle."
Ecker laughed off the media
attention, noting that she's
learned in politics "you should
be nervous when the media
says something nice about you"
- but got serious when asked
about the challenges of her new
post.
rm pleased and excited but,
rll admit, a little bit intimidat-
ed," she said.
"This is a
very chal-
lenging job
and rm going
to have to
work as hard
as I can. But
that's what
the people of
Ajax and
Pickering
sent me here
to do."
Ecker said her work as
Tsubouchi's assistant will help
her in the ministry. "Hopefully,
rll have a much shorter learn-
ing curve than someone who is
totally new to the portfolio."
She also had kind words for
the controversial Tsubouchi,
who has moved over to the less
demanding Consumer and
Corporate Affairs ministry.
'"Me big advantage is Dave
laid the groundwork for some
urgent priori-
ties, such as
Workfare and
welfare
reform. rm
looking for-
ward to build-
ing on those
reforms and
moving ahead
on Workfare."
The only
other back-
bencher who
now has a seat at the cabinet
table is Rob Sampson
(Mississauga West), who was
given the title minister without
portfolio, with responsibility
for privatization. Two minis-
ters, along with Tsubouchi,
MPP Janet Ecker
were given new posts while
energy and environment minis-
ter Brenda Elliot was dropped
from cabinet.
Ecker's husband, journalist
Derek Nelson, parents Don and
Melva Ecker and sisters Cathy
and Gayle attended the swear-
ing-in ceremony Friday, held at
Lieutenant -Governor Hal
Jackman's Queen's Park suite.
Almost immediately after
the ceremony, work on Ecker's
new job began in earnest.
" I signed my first memo
within hours and received my
first cabinet briefing package
right after, " she said with a
laugh.

Time for Wayne Arthurs to resign
Grandstanding Brenner, bumbling councillors also on hot seat
by Glenn Hendry
Should Wayne Arthurs resign
over the Confederation Life
cover-up?
Should all four returning
councillors step down instead?
Is Maurice Brenner grand-
standing for political attention at
the mayors' expense?
Anybody for all of the above?
The fust three options are the
latest demands and accusations
to come out of the Town of
Picketing's most recent fiasco:
the announcement (made by
audit committee chairman
Brenner) that Pickering lost
nearly a million dollars more
than two years ago when insw-
ance giant Confederation Life
declared bankruptcy.
At least one Pickering resi-
dent thinks the mayor should
resign, calling the mayor's fail-
ure to disclose a $977,000
investment loss, discovered on
the eve of the 1994 municipal
election, "Wayne Arthurs'
Watergate."
"Most definitely he should
xesign: it's shades of Watergate.
His integrity has gone down the
toilet," says Dave Le Gresley, an
active letter writer who has been
critical of council in the past.
"What else could he be hold-
ing back from the community
that's just not surfacing?"
Another Pickering resident,
however, believes all four
returning councillors - Brenner,
Rick Johnson, Enrico Pistritto
and Arthurs - should be sharing
the blame.
Terry Nuspl, who ran for
office herself two years ago, los-
ing the Ward l seat to Dave
Ryan, said the returning council -
tors have to take the heat for the
cover-up, as well as the other
financial headaches that have
plagued Pickering in 1996.
"I think most of them should
resign. They campaigned on run-
ning the town
like a business
and they can't,"
she says.
"Wayne should
resign, but so
should the oth-
ers who have
been there over
the years.
"As much as
some would
want to lay this
on Wayne's
head, the others are guilty, too. If
they can't read the town's books
and see the money is missing,
then what are they doing on
council?"
Johnson, one of those four
political returnees. takes the
third option, reserving his anger
for Brenner for timing the
investment loss news "to suit his
political agenda."
"I'm suspicious that he's blow-
ing this out of the water. Why
didn't he know (about
Confederation Life) before?
Why tun to the press now?
"It's not fair to the rest of
council and it's not fair to the
mayor
Pistritto, who is also on
Nuspl's hit W. pledged his sup-
port for Arthurs. "I think it's
wrong, this crucifixion of Wayne
Arthurs. I won't be putting any
nails in." Ik adds that staff also
had a responsibility to inform
council of the investment loss.
But Brenna, while not calling
for Arthurs to quit, is still upset
that the mayor kept the
Confederation Life news to him-
self.
"I can appreciate his logic (in
witholding information) but I
don't agree
with it,"
Brenner
says. '"We all
have the
right to the
information.
No one has
the right to
withold that
informa-
tion."
Mean -
while, some
early responders to a survey ini-
tiated by The Original Bay News
gave mixed reviews to Arthurs
and the rest of council. One
reader felt the mayor had "no
sincerity when dealing with pub-
lic funds" and questioned his
"poor decision-making" skills.
Another report gave passing
grades only to Arthurs and coun-
cillor Sherry Senis, however,

while the bulk of the surveys
gave failing grades to the entire
council.
Nuspl believes council's poor
relationship with staff is the
main reason for the town's recent
financal blunders and council's
failing marks with the public,
claiming staff' is "terrified" of
council, especially Brenner.
"Ninety per cent of council-
lors have shown they're not
capable of developing trust with
staff. I think staff' is afraid to tell
them anything because they're
going to get reamed out in public
and dragged through the media."
As to the fourth option - all of
the above - Nuspl says she is
more than willing to champion
that cause.
Nuspl's biggest fear, in fact, is
the alternative should Arthurs,
like Richard Nixon in 1974.
resign.
"If he steps down we're going
to have Maurice Brenner and
that's even worse," she says.
"But Wayne's not going to resign
and Maurice's going to make hay
with it."

Are Pickering residents coming to life?

Corky deGraauw wins after
Dickerson flip-flop
by Glenn Hendry
Corky deGmauw's friends and
family will get their eight country
lots after all.
Pickering council - thanks to a
reversal by regional councillor
Doug Dickerson - has approved
deGraauw's request for an eight -
lot subdivision in north Pickering,
just east of Claremont.
The reversal will, however, in
the eyes of fellow councillor
Maurice Brenner, make the town
look "very, very foolish."
The request was turned down
(by a 4-3 vote) April I, after
council heard from a swarm of
residents from the Claremont area
with concerns focussed on coun-
cil setting a precedent for future
urbanization in the nasal area and
on the effects the proposal would
have on their water supply.
deGraauw, who has been try-
ing to get approval for the lots
(adjacent to his nine -hole golf
course) for several years now,
subsequently appealed the deci-
sion to the Ontario Municipal
Board (OMB).
The issue then returned to
council chambers Tuesday night
after Dickerson had a change of
heart, passing by a 4-3 vote.
Dickerson said he changed his
vote because the water problems
identified by a number of voters
were resolved, adding that the lat-
est report from a consultant hired
by deGraauw stated the develop-
ment would have no adverse
effect on the neighbors.
Brenner claims the issue will
still go to the municipal board,
pointing out some residents will
likely take over the fight.
Council's wavering, he added,
won't look good at the hearing.
"Unless (the council vote) is
unanimous, I don't know how
much credibility that will carry
with any school boy on the
OMB."
He also took a shot at planning
director Neil Carroll, angrily
retorting that the lack of a plan for
the OMB hearing will "make us
(look) very, very foolish."
deGraauw, who already has
takers for most of the lots, was
just relieved that the matter was
finally put to rest.
"I think council is making a
good decision. It's taken us 10
years to get there."
Ryan, Brenner, trade shots
over council schedule
by Glenn Hendry
Pickering council will not meet
next July, a decision reached
recently after a long debate about
the effective use of council time.
Regional councillor Maurice
Brener was pressing to schedule
council meetings in July (with the
exception of special meetings,
council shuts down through the
summer) due to the "complexity
and urgency" of issues that arise
during the break period.
But councillor Dave Ryan
called the proposal inappropriate.
noting that councillors still meet
informally in the summer.
"It's not how often you meet.
but how well you spend your
time," Ryan said. "Business still
goes on at the town."
The comment annoyed
Brenner, who pointed out that
council meetings held after long
breaks can run into the wee hours
because of the number of issues
on the agenda
Ryan however, in a pointed
shot at long-winded councillors,
got the last crack, claiming long
council meetings are "self-inflict-
ed injuries."
The motion lost 5-2.
Council did vote to add an
August 27 meeting to this month's
schedule

=Young Pickering sailor ready to take on the world
Canadian Youth champ heading to Japan
ickering laser
sailor Bernard
Luttmer has
accomplished his goal.
At 17 years -of -age,
Luttmer had set out to
represent Canada at the
World Under 18 Sailing
Championships in Japan
next July.
By finishing third
overall and first in the
Under 17 category at the
Canadian Youth Sailing
Championships recently,
Luttmer can breath a sigh
of relief.
"I wanted to finish in
the top three and win the
17 and under," said
Luttmer. "That was my
goal and that's what I
cot."
Luttmer qualified for
lite Worlds because the
two sailors who finished
ahead of him in the
Hockey
Even before they step
on the ice for battle, they
are working hard for their
Christmas trip to Europe.
As is tradition with the
Pickering Hockey
Association, the Bantam
AA hockey team has been
designated the travel team.
With that, the team is
working hard putting
together a
Commemorative Book
standings would be too
old to compete in Japan.
But he knew that and
didn't focus on those two
racers.
"I was leading the
majority of the regatta, so
I knew 1 had to only beat
a couple of guys to
qualify," said Berard. "It
was an advantage for me
to be at the home club
and to know what the
wind was doing."
Luttmer belongs to the
Royal Canadian Yacht
Club in Toronto, but will
train closer to home at the
Frenchman's Bay Yacht
Clob when the Fall
season draws closer. The
17 year-old boatman
started his sailing career
with lessons at the
FBYC.
A total of 85 boats
were entered into the
laser event with 55 of
those boats competing in
the U-17 field. Sailors
took their best 11 out of
12 races for their scores.
Luttmer went into the
final day of competition
with a 10 point lead on
his nearest competitor
and he wanted to make
sure to stay ahead of him.
"I took his wind during
the race and he shot
back," said Bernard. "I
kept taking his wind and
he dropped back to 15th
or 16th place. At that
point, I knew he wasn't
going to beat me."
Despite being 11
months away, the
Pickering sailor is already
preparing for Japan.
"I'm going to keep
racing and probably go to
.Florida just to stay in the
boat," said Luttmer. "I'm
at a disadvantage, but
there's nothing you can
do about it. It can be
overcome."
Less than a week after
winning the biggest
regatta of his young
career, Luttmer is hoping
to make waves in
Kingston. With a shot at
earning a berth on the
National team at stake,
the young sailor is
looking forward to the
challenge.
"The top will make the
National team," explains
Luttmer. "I would have to
do really well to get on
the National team.
Usually you're 19 or 20
years -old, but Yll try. It'll
be a long shot to come
top 10."
Eventually, Luttmer
envisions himself on the
Canadian team and
competing in the
Olympics.
"The 2000 Olympics is
my goal," says Luttmer.
"I'd like to go to the 2000
and 2004 Games. Now
that it's an Olympic sport,
it's getting really big."
Destination: Europe
team looking for commemorative book advertisers
which will be sold at two,
possibly three PHA
tournaments this year.
To send the team to
Europe, the club is looking
to raise $60,000-565,000
for the trip which will see
them visit Switzerland for
a tournament December
28-29 before heading to
Germany and Austria for
some exhibition tilts. In
order to raise that kind of
money, the club has been
hard at work every
Thursday at Top Rank
Bingo, organizing bottle
drives, running the
restaurant/bar at Don Beer
and now they are hoping
to get local companies to
advertise in their
Commemorative Book.
"We need all this
advertising done before
Aueust I_" said
Commemorative Book
Committee member John
Cawley.
Price of advertising in
the book ranges from $25
for a business card ad to
$300 for a full page.
"We want to have as
many local businesses in
Pickering as possible to
have that local flavour,"
said coach Jack English.
Enclosed in the book
will be a profile of each
player on the team and an
insertion of full rosters of
teams competing at the
tournaments at which the
book will besold.
Having never travelled
such a long distance to
play hockey, the team is
looking forward to the
trip.
"It'll be a once in a
lifetime opportunity," said
English -
.Hopefully it will be a
life experience for kids as
well as having some fun."
Cawley, English and the
rest of the team are now
calling to the local
business community to
help send the team abroad.
Anyone wishing to help
out can call John Cawley
at 420-0754 for more
information.

The South Pickering
Seniors' Club no. 753
launched their 1st SPSC
Golf Tournament earlier
this month at the
Annandale Golf and
Country Club. Twenty
two die-hard SPSC golfers
took on the almost 40
degree hot and humid
August day. Everyone
brought along extra bottles
of water and drinks and
plenty of good humour.
Some also brought bags of
golf balls in case the
Annandale Golf Course's
golfers take to the links
water hazards proved too
much.
Presentation of awards
followed a
delicious
dinner at the
club house.
The golf pro
at the
Annandale
Golf shop
helped the
club in determining their
scores using the Calloway
handicap system. Linc
Zwicker was declared the
club's 1996 golf champion.
He had the lowest gross
score of 80 points. Pat
Vachon won the ladies
lowest gross

scoring 110
points. Eddy
O'Hanlon
won the
teen's low net
a w a r d
scoring 74
points. Loida Woodford
won the new ladies low
award scoring 80 points.
Leonard Taylor drove the
closest to the pin on the
tough 9th hole. Alex
McConkey had the longest
drive on the 18th hole.
Margaret Yade was the
club's 19% "Most Honest
Golfer."
Everyone had a fun,
enjoyable day (in spite of
the heat), and received a
momento to
commemorate the club's
first golf tournament.
The club appreciates the
efforts of Tony Kopp and
Alex McConkey in
organizing this year's
tournament.

Drama at the Oddfellows Hall,
Pickering Museum Village, Aug.
18.
It's been a busy time for
several aspiring local actors over
the last few weeks and the results
were enjoyed by capacity
audiences at two shows this past
Sunday. Gerrard O'Neal, as the
reverend, gave comic relief to a
serious play based on actual
events of June 5. 1890. He lead
the presentation admirably.
This original play by Frank
Luke served as an introduction to
the stage for several young actors
who will surely be seen on many
occasion in the future. Sean
Hakim and Tara Clark, as the

The Writers' Circle of Durham
Region has just announced its
second annual Dan Sullivan
Memorial Poetry Contest.
Established in 1995 as an annual
competition to recognize and
promote the original work of poets
in Durham, the contest is held in
memory of Pickering resident and
bride and groom, demonstrated
great acting potential in their
debut performance. Randy
Findlay and Nancy Nadeau, as
Mr. and Mrs. Underhill, provided
the drama as a young couple
expecting Their third child. Kevin
Blaney and Rose Cornacchia
played Mr. and Mrs. Madill as
hosts of the wedding and
exhibited talents much beyond
their experience. The supporting
performances of Heather Annis,
Julian Haydicky and Margo
Feldman contributed to a
memorable event and showcased
the abilities of some people to
watch for in the future as their
experience gives them the
poetry c
poet, Dan Sullivan, who passed
away last year.
The contest is open to people
who live. work or attend school in
Durham Region. The three
categories are: Children (up to age
12); Youth (up to age 18) and
Adult. Prizes will be awarded as
follows: Children - $25 fust, S t 5
oppommity for more challenging
roles.
The one detraction from a
perfect presentation was the mid
twentieth century costume of
producer Ted Castle in a minor
part. His acting was satisfactory,
but his real success was in
achieving the play's production so
quic:ly.
It is a credit to the O'Leary
School of Drama and the
playwright that the presentation
was prepared in a matter of a few
weeks with new talent. Those
who were fortunate enough to see
this play are sure to be
anticipating the rumored
presentation of another original

The Oddfellows Hall in the
Pickering Museum is an intimate
venue for the presentation of local
acting talent. The development of
local plays of historical accuracy
from Pickering writers will only
increase the enjoyment of
audiences. It is hoped that the
Town of Pickering and the

dramatic value to the arts in this

Sports Cars:
Are they on the Decline?

ME & MY RED
CORVETTE, THE LITTLE
DEUCE COUPE; many
songs over the years have
featured hot sports cars.
Although many people
dream of one day having a
red sports car sitting in
their driveway, something
is happening to this market.
Many manufacturers are
producing fewer & fewer
sports cars. and some are
not producing them at all.
In 1954 General Motors
produced the first North
American Sports car, The
CORVETTE. Back in 1953
Corvette produced one
model and it was a
convertible. They sold this
vehicle for a mere $3,490.
Can you imagine? That car
today is worth at least 15
times that price. Corvette
has undergone four
generations of change: The
first came in 1963, the
second in '67 and the last in
'83. The C5, the next
generation of Corvette, is
planned to make its debut
in 1997. On average,
Canadians purchase 500 to
600 new Corvettes each
year. Corvette is still the
top selling sports car in
Canada today.
Like most manufacturers,
the company has its top of
the line sports car (A
Class), and a secondary
sports car (B Class). For
General Motors this car is
the Camaro or Firebird.
Personally I prefer the
Firebird over the Camaro,
but Camaro out sells
Firebird by about 500
vehicles each year. During
1995 dealers sold 2,558

Firebirds. The first Camaro
was built in 1967 and sold
for $2,572. If consumers
wanted a convertible they
had to pay $2,890. Camaro
has also gone through 4
generations of change: in
1970, 1981 and 1993.
General Motors holds the
largest market when it
comes to sports cars.
Mazda's RX7 and MX6
are on top for imported
sports cars. The RX7 first
came to Canada in 1978
and sold for less than
$10,000. The RX7 has gone
through three generations,
'78-'86, '87-'91 and '93 to
present. Starting this year
the RX7 will be available
only in Japan. Mazda says
the sports car market in
Canada is fastly drying up.
During 1995 Mazda sold
only 57 RXTs. And the
RX7 outsold NSX, 300ZX
and Supra. They will
continue to produce the
popular MX6; sales
continue to be strong,
averaging 1600 cars per
year. With a new generation
coming out in 1998, Mazda
is looking for increased
sales of the MX6.
Toyota's sports car line
up consists of the Supra
and the Celica. Prior to
1971 the Supra was just an
option package. Toyota
sold the Celica GT, and the
Celica Supra. In 1980 the
Supra became its own
vehicle, but that model
lasted only one year. It was
redesigned in 1982, then
again in 1986 and 1994.
Sadly 1997 will be the last
year for the Supra. Toyota
says it's due to many
reasons, the main factor
being CAFE. CAFE is
Corporate Average Fuel
Efficiency. Each company
must meet certain
regulations when it comes
to fuel efficiency.
Producing the Supra with
its twin turbo engine would
push the corporation over
its average number. Also in
1997, new safety and
admission regulations go
into effect. All vehicles
must have side door impact
beams. The cost of re-
engineering vehicles is so
costly, many manufacturers
say they simply could
never recoup the costs
involved.
Ecological issues
affect car care costs
Beyond keeping up with
changing technology, auto-
motive service technicians
now face a new challenge:
keeping up with the auto-
motive "green" list. Air
conditioning service, for
example, now demands
sophisticated equipment
and procedures; drain oil,
tires and batteries must be
properly disposed of.
Depending upon provin-
cial regulations, antifreeze
and oil filters aro also on
the list. It's unpopular, if
not illegal, to throw tires or
batteries in the trash.
Cleaning solvents,
antifreeze, even shock
absorbers, which contain
oil, are among materials to
be disposed of properly.
It all adds up to a cleaner
environment, says Car
Care Canada of the
Automotive Industries
Association of Canada, but
at a cost that must be
shard by vehicle owners
and the industry that ser-
vices them

The Corvette gets away
with CAFE because it has a
first to fourth shift in the
transmission. If the driver
has not reached 2700 RPM
the transmission will skip
second and third gear,
forcing the driver to shift
into fourth. This produces
fuel economy.
Nissan will also no
longer produce the 300ZX
after 1996. Nissan's sports
cars started with a Datsun
240 then the Datsun 260.
The Datsun 28OX was
introduced in 1979
followed by the 300ZX in
1983. Nissan will
discontinue the 300ZX
because of the 1997
regulations mentioned
above. Their current 240
will remain Nissan's sports
car. This little coupe will
have a new face lift in 1997
and rumors say it will be
pretty spectacular.
Suggestions are the selling
price will be just over
$20,000.
Ford has also played in
this high performance
category with its Mustang.
First introduced in 1964
and sold for just over
$4000., Mustang has
undergone 4 generations of
changes with the last one
being in 1995. Ford's other
sports car is the Probe.
Although it is vastly
different from the Mustang,
the public views it as a
sports coupe. The Probe is
a front wheel drive sleek
sedan. Its new look was
introduced in 1992 and was
primarily designed by Mini
Varder, who was head of
the design group and can
take most of the credit for
this little sports car.
Sports cars will always
have a special place in most
of our hearts -- even they
don't have a place in our
driveways.
