L1 W 3142 Fax 90541374M Novacor ascus ��damaging" •es Brenner of its rf Company claims Pickering councillor, named in $1 million lawsuit, bad-mouthed Novacor t by Glenn Hendry "Deliberately malicious and calculated" interference may place Pickering councillor Maurice Brenner and the Town of Pickering in a $1 million heap of trouble. Novacor, the construction company named in a lawsuit by the town June 7 over a $517,093 overpayment, filed a counterclaim July 5, claiming Brenner has "damaged the rep- utation" of the company with the community and "maligned the defendant publicly" through direct approach to its customers - including Durham Region and its bankers and bonding company. Brenner's actions are described by Novacor lawyers as "deliberately malicious and calculated." 7'ne suit states that co-defen- dants Brenner and the town "induced the Regional Municipality of Durham to withold payments" due from a joint regional/CLuington road project in Bowmanville and "have placed in question the ability to continue to cant' out work with its long established customers." The Novacor countersuit adds that Brenner's approach to the bonding company and banker has "placed in peril its current financial arrange- ments." Novacor's lawsuit further claims that Brenner and other councillors made a "political event" of the town's own error. "The defendant met with (town officials) in an attempt to settle their differences. However, because of the inter- vention and animosity of politi- cians, who are embarassed by these events, nothing of value was accomplished. The meeting was a without prejudice meet- ing (but) the politicians present held press interviews publiciz- ing the events...to embarass the defendant." Novacor officials also believe the overpayment - issued inadvertently November 13, 1995 by a member of Pickering's works department - could have been avoided if the town hadn't fired the consulting engineer, Sabourin, Kimble and Associates. perform the certification of pay- ment functions itself," the coun- terclaim states. Novacor also claims it does- n't owe the town any money at all. The project, the reconstruc- tion of Fairport Road, was awarded in late 1994 and has not been completed. But the Consulting engineers, among other duties, normally deter- mine the "propriety" of pay- ments to the contractor. "The (town) had a disagree- ment with the engineer ...and elected, for whatever reason, to (EXCERPTS) ONTARIO COURT OF JUSTICE (GENERAL DIVISION) NOVACOR CONSTRUCTION LTD —and— Plaintiff by Counterclaim THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF PICKERING and MAURICE BRENV"NER Defendant by Counterclaim STATEMENT OF DEFENCE AND COUNTERCLAIM The plaintiff by counterclaim claims against the defendants by counterclaim as follows: as against the defendants by counterclaim, The corporation of the Town of Pickering & Maurice Brenner: 0) damages in the amount of $19ON90M.00 for wrongful interference with the plaintiff's legitimate economic enterprise. • On or about November 13, 1995 as a result of a clerical error, the Plaintiff paid to the defendant the sum of $966,625.26, rather than the correct sum of $"9,531.38 • Accordingly, the Plaintiff overpaid the Defendant in the amount of $517,093.88 • The defendant (by claim) is c OndrxAng work on the project, has performed to date on a timely basis, the project has never been in jeopardy, and the defendant (by claim) states that the extras and material adjustments due the defendant to date equals or exceeds the amount of the alleged repayment. • The defendant (by claim) met with the plaintiff's (defendant, by counterclaim) officials in an attempt to settle their differences, however because of the intervention and animosity of politicians (who are embarrassed by these events), nothing of value was accomplished. The meeting was a without prejudice meeting however the politicians present held press interviews publicizing the issues thereof in an endeavor to embarrass the defendant (by claim) and have made any further discussion conditional upon repayment of the sum of $517,093.88 as opposed to the net sum (if any) owing between the parties. • The defendant (by claim) is a long established reputable company, the plaintiff's elected officials have (since it is an election year) made a political event from the plaintiff's own error, have maligned the defendant publicly and through direct approach to Its customers (including the regional government and its bankers and bonding company) interfered and damaged its reputation and purposely Interfered wrongfully with its legitimate economic enterprise and the defendant has suffered damages as a result thereof Sean Parkes Stouffville-area company, which has not stopped work on the project, claims extras and material adjustments "equals or exceeds the amount of the alleged repayment." The two sides are poles apart on some of the claims raised by Novacor. Both parties claim the meet- ing between officals of Novacor and the town, held June 14, was unproductive. But town coun- cillors says it was Novacor that was responsible for ending negotiations. "Novacor demonstrated... an amazing ability to lower the amount outstanding to a point that was no longer recogniz- able," councillor Doug Dickerson was quoted as saying in the June 19 issue of The Original Bay News. "At that point it was futile to go on." Oshawa councillor John Aker, the chair of the region's works committee, also denies Novacor's claim that Durham is witholding payments to the company for its project, a S 1.36 million road re -construction job on King Street. The region is paying its bills on time on the project - now halfway to completion - says If putation o bankers, region Aker, after placing confuming calls with regional staff in the works and finance departments. Z "We have a legal binding c contract with Novacor and pay- ments are being made as the °e work is completed," he says. z "Everything is tight and hard at this end." Brenner, in statements made recently, also denied he made any malicious statements about the company. "My goal is to get the money back for the Town of Pickering. Tm not interested in destroying them or hurting them." No date has been set for a hearing, although the two sides could be in court later this year. Pickering will be represented in court by the North York law firm of Kronis, Rotzain. Margles, Cappel and Gertler. Novacor's case is being handled by William Dingwall of Toronto. Brenner's defence will be funded by local taxpayers. r— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — I J AFMIN I MtN I + YYHRRI-tiV I t l I NEEDEDpEAPPRO14EL 1 NNZ01 Expires.

'Maurice Brenner and Doug DickersorL found themselves looking at a lawsuit for what we would call (for lack of a better term) "mouthing off„ in public. If memory serves, the year was 1994 when a local businessman, tired of being openly slandered, took action to stop the malicious assault on his character and reputation The case got scarcely any press but it cost the taxpayers plenty. .And of course. it goes without saying, the offenders themselves paid nothing - dunks to a hefty insurance policy carried by The Town of Pickering. So here we are, just two short years later and, once again. Councillor Brenner is being named in lawsuit action against the Town. This time by Novacor. Wouldn't you think that. by now. Mr. Brenner would have figured out that some people just don't like having their reputations smeared or their ability to earn a living compromised? For Dickerson, this must be seen as a near -miss. He too has been very vocal on the subject of Novacor and the town's curious overpayment. Of course, every story - and every court case - has two sides. It is not for us to judge which way this battle should go. But we can object to the fact that, once again, a town councillor has placed the people he represents in the position of having to foot the bill for his arrogance. Ibis case, whether it goes ahead or not, could cost the taxpayers heavily! It's easy to say "the insurance company will pay", but this is not small coverage. Who pays the premiums on this very expensive policy? And who pays the deductible - which, in this case could amount to major bucks? We wonder: Given that Brenner is a two-time offeallm could the insurance company use this as a reason to avoid picking up the tab? And should that happen. will Mr. B pry - or will we? It occurs to us that, at the very least, Pickering's already - expensive premiums are certain to rise. Isn't that the way iasaramoe companies work? And unless a watchdog becomes vigilant on the subject, ate all relevant figm involved in this case scheduled W disappear into the mists of the annual budget, never to be scrutinized by the very people who mast pay the bill - the Pickeril g taxpayers? Often termed "grandstanding", the method employed by some politicians to bring themselves to the attention of dee general public, can be very annoying and can, in some cases, even prove embarrassing. It can also be very expensive. With local politicians obviously in warm-up mode, in anticipation of upcoming elections, we stand a chance of seeing more and more of this jockeying for position in the local spotlight. % can only hope drat Mr. Brenner; and other councillors, will think about the cast of this lesson in future - before they mouth -off again in public.

O Several of the concerns _ expressed by Pickering 2000 were ~ on the agenda Tuesday night - after press time. Pickering 2000 stated in its report that they will be soliciting ideas from residents, business peo- ple and other stakeholders on the town's future. Suggestions will be summarized and made available to council members. by Glenn Hendry Pickering 2000, a committee of community associations struck to help the Town of Pickering avoid a repeat of the financial disasters that have plagued the municipality this year, is gathering steam with local residents. Tltcy are, however, still waiting to hear from Pickering 1996. The committee, with representa- tion from Pickering Ajax Citizens Together for the environment, East Shore Community Association, Liverpool West Community Pickering 2000 struck to prevent future financial disasters Association, Pickering Rural Association, Taxpayers Coafitiion of Ajax and Pickering and other groups, met last week to talk about issues that arose from the town's recent audit committee report. That report revealed the Confederation Life investment loss and subsequent cover up; reminded taxpayers of the other financial problems Pickering has had to face this year; and offered some sugges- tions on ensuring the town will not have to deal with similar problems in the future. The citizens committee, dubbed Pickering 2000 after last weelt's ini- tial meeting and chaired by Dave Steele and Craig Bamford, is answering back with some sugges- tions of its own. The group has yet to receive a written response from the town. Of primary concern to the com- mittee is the management structure of the town. Earlier this summer, after a closed -door meeting, council agreed to establish an administrative committee to oversee municipal departments such as finance, human resources and legal. There are also rumors that the administrative committee - which would give council tight control over the day-to-day operations of the town - would enable council to get around hiring a new town man- ager. Outgoing town manager Tim Sheffield - his last day on the job was Monday - confirmed the idea "has been talked about." The town manage ment-by-com- mittee plan would fly in the face of several other reportz. however, including the Bradford Report and those of Pickering 2000. "In order to ensure clear account- ability, we strongly recommend that the administrative structure ... be headed by one chief administrative officer, to whom all staff ultimately report. In this way, one person is accountable for all actions of staff," stated a letter from the citizens com- mittee to the town, dated August 26. Pickering 2000 also stated the administrative committee idea "does not meet the objectives of account- ability and avoiding duplication... create further confu- sion for the public as to who is responsible and. internally, would further inhibit communication."

Archer Kevin Sally and swimmer Lisa Flood kept busy immediately following the Games in Atlanta- One tlantaOne week after the Olympics were over. Flood wits back home with the rest of her Canadian Swim Team members to compete in the Maritime Life National Championships in Etobicoke. Getting up for it after competing at the biggest meet of all was difficult for Flood. "Just iecause the Olympics are over doesn't mean we don't come out and +upport our country," says Flood. "I wasn't expecting any great things out of myself at Nationals. I went there to swim for my sponsors, the little kids, my club team and to enjoy myself. "The crowd response was great and 1 ended up surprising myself, swimming as well as 1 did." Flood wound up winning the 100m breaststroke over Guylaine Cloutier who swam in the "A" final at the Olympics. The Pickering native had heard that Cloutier was hoping to break the Canadian record in the 100m breaststroke as her last hurrah. With that in mind, Flood said she wasn't going to push herself after coming back from the Olympics and if Cloutier wanted the record, it was hers. But the record did not fall and Flood hit the wall first to win the crown. To go along with her 100m victory, she also added a bronze in the 200m breaststroke. Celebrating her 25th birthday in Atlanta. Flood had hoped it would have been a more joyous celebration. "At first, I was a little disappointed," says the six foot swimmer of her performance in Atlanta. "I wanted to be top eight, but looking back rm happy with my performance. In hindsight I'm pleased with it, plus it was an improvement on Barcelona (14th place)." Now after competing in two Olympics, battling the best at Pan-Am's, Commonwealth's and World's, Flood's career is on hold. "I'm not positive if I'm going to keep swimming," says Lisa. "1 love the competitive side. but there's a lot of work that goes into it and it might be time to try something else." If she does decide to hang UP the swimsuit, at least she'll be going out on top. As for Kevin Sally, he has ,just begun. It was his first time at the Olympics and he plans on being in Sydney for the 2000 Games.

In Orlando, Sally finished first in the Visitor Category shooting a 1293 with 144 arrows. "I shot my second best score ever," says Sally. After Florida, it was off to Victoria, British Columbia to defend his National title. He did so by shooting 1242 in the ranking round then winning the gold medal match 99-95. "I think everyone treated me the same as always," says Kevin on returning home to compete. "If I put myself in their shoes, I would have been a little nervous. But you know they want to beat an Olympian." Being at the Olympics brought out the best in Sally as he set two Canadian records while in Atlanta. With 36 arrows, Kevin tied the mark with a score of 332. His next set of 36 put him over the top for a combined 72 arrow score of 657, breaking the old mark and putting him in the Canadian record books. "1 knew I was going to set the 72 arrow performance because I was starting to shoot better," says Sally. "I was very happy with it and I did my best. "That's what the Olympics are all about.

If you watch the motor races each weekend on television, you have probably heard announcers using these terms. The world of racing has it's own lingo. Often drivers and commentators seem to be speaking this totally different language. What is stager or wedge? What is a carousel or an apex? It doesn't take too much racing knowledge to figure out that some of these terms refer to the track while others refer to the car and its set up. But unless you are really into motorsports, racing lingo can be perplexing. On oval track, there are only a few terms to be concerned with. The apron is the bottom of the track. It is usually flat, allowing the driver to get up to speed before Terry MaCDo climbing onto the banking. The banking is the actual race track. autorotr� Daytona has 31 degrees of banking, while Indianapolis has zem. On a high banked oval, drivers don't usually brake prior to the comer. The degree of the banking will determine the amount of speed a car can carry through the comer. But should the drivers need to "lift" off the accelerator, or brake, there is a predetermined braking point or place on the track. When a driver complains his car is "loose" or is "understeering", he means that the rear of the race car wants to come around as he turns the comer. If a driver says the car is "pushing" or is "oversteering", that means the car doesn't want to tum but continues in a straight line around the comer. "Stager" is the difference in circumference between the outside tires and the inside tires. On oval tracks, the race car should be set up so the car turns left with out much effort. If a driver wants 2.5 inches of stager, tires on the left side of the car would measure 83 inches while the right side tires measure 80.5 inches. "'Hedge" is often called "bite". The simplest way to explain wedge is comparing it to a spring. As you wind it up it gets tighter or looser. This affects the weight transfer or balance of the car and allows the race car to handle better. On road or street course, there is much more to learn.. Each comer will have a brake point, a tum in point, an apex and an exit point. A "turn in point" and "brake point" _ are self explanatory: they are two iald-Cadieux spots on the race track where the irorter driver must start to tum into the comer, and get on the brakes. The "apex" is not as simple to explain. The fastest way around any comer is to drive a straight line through that corner. The point where the straight line and the round comer meet is called the apex; meaning that the car is cornering at maximum speed. Road courses have a name for every comer. There is the carousel; the constant radius comer, the chicane (a series of S -turns); and the hairpin (a sharp U -tum). Many race tracks put a chicane in the middle of a long straight-away, forcing the cars to reduce their speeds. Hopefully understanding a little racing terminology will help you enjoy the next motorsport event you watch on television or attend in person.

Cadieux When Toyota introduced Lexus to Canada in 1990, it leaped into the automotive luxury marketplace with the same quality and expertise the public had come to know and appreciate. Being that Toyota was the leading Japanese auto maker, Lexus was welcomed with open arms and their sales began to grow steadily. Lexus admirers have the choice of four very different styles and models, each having its own personality and perfor- mance. My favorite is the two door coup CS400, and yes of course it is the most expensive. The 1997 version is so slick and smooth, many ask just what is that car, and how much is it. The price is a bit high coming in at just over $82.(1(x). The LS 400 has the same fea- tures but is not as stylish, because it accommodates four doors and appeals to the more :onservative owners. The Lexus 400 models are still rear wheel drive and most experienced drivers prefer the mar wheel drive as opposed to front wheel drive. With wet or slippery road conditions, most drivers feel better equipped to handle the vehicle, as it will be more predictable. New for 1997, Lexus has upgraded its emission system making it more environmen- tally friendly. They have placed a fuel leakage monitor- ing system onboard, reduced the overall weight of the vehi- cle by better than 10%, and increased the interior space. What that means to owners is that they will spend less time at the fuel pumps and longer on the road. Lexus has strengthened the body with side and front impact beams to protect the passengers inside. They have made the side mir- rors 20% larger for more view of traffic around you, and made the door openings larger. In order to reduce the noise inside the vehicle, Lexus designers looked at air flow and designed the shape to reduce wind noise and this also helps the car glide through the wind, creating less drag, and again results in bet- ter fuel economy. For safety, the Lexus comes with four wheel ABS, air bags and a collapsible steering col- umn. The air bags and seat belts work together in the event of an accident. The trac- tion control system that is included monitors throttle position and adds brakes to reduce slippage. The vehicle is powered by a 4.0 V8 32 valve engine with 260 horsepower. And let me tell you, it really can pull off the green lights. On the high- way, the passing gear can make overtaking a blast, instead of a nervous chore. Lexus was so proud of their vehicles, in 1994 they intro- duced the Lexus Gold program for pre -owned vehicles. This program shows how commit- ted to quality and service the corporation is. Toyota wants to meet the same extraordinary standards for their entire line up regardless of age. To qual- ify for Lexus Gold. a lexus must undergo a comprehen- sive inspection and recondi- tioning process. Virtually everything that is covered by a new Lexus warranty will be covered by this program. The Roadside Assistance program will look after Lexus Gold vehicles for up to eight years. That should tell you how strong the Lexus market is for new and pre -owned vehicles. If you cannot afford a new 1997 Lexus coupe, maybe look into purchasing a pre- owned one. The warranty and service will be just as good. ALL NEW ALTIMAS FIIUXpNO No LIMIT '3.8% Financing up to 48 months O.A.C.

No big deal, tabloids have been putting celebrity heads on strangers' bodies for years. But what if the altered picture showed you in a compromising situation? And what if the alterations were so perfect- ly executed that even your own family believed that it was real? In "Flesh Wounds." his eleventh novel featuring private eye John Marshall Tanner, Stephen Greenleaf explores the new world of digitally enhanced images, virtual reality and the inevitable by-product: blackmail. Set in Seattle with its coffee-house and grunge culture, this novel is nothing if not trendy. In fact, that's one of the novel's charms: transplanting the hard- boiled -with -a -heart -of -mush Tanner from his natural habitat (LA.) onto the kinder, gentler streets of the northwest. This is a classic private eye novel. Called upon by an old flame (with Tanner still carrying the torch after five years) to investigate the disappearance of her soon-to-be step -daughter, Tanner's investigation follows the typ- ical course: question the natives and accumulate clues until a body turns up. Subsequent investigation is ham- wine. Old favourite or not avoid bottles with more than one inch of space between the bottom of the cork and the wine. Too much air space can oxidize the contents. Don't choose white wines of older vintages (unless you choose to do it on purpose). White wines are generally made to be used within two years of the vintage. Always avoid bottles that look dirty or murky. Most importantly, examine the bottle before you take it to the cash register. Does the wine inside look clear? Is anything leaking? You get the idea. At the LOBO, wine is organized in geo- graphical areas and by red or white. All Canadian red wines are in one spot, Californian whites in another and so on. The "Vintages" section of the store, if it has one will have some special items. It's worth the time to take a look and see what they have on display. Pick a geographical area of interest and then start looking at labels. Labels are like tiny encyclopedias stuck to the bottle. What other product has a label that pro- pered by the newly arrived police, anx- ious to resolve their homicide without the help of an amateur. But the P.I. is, as usual, smarter than the pros and in the end, he solves his own case and the cops' case and saves everyone else from embarrassment. Greenleaf writes well. His characters are well -drawn and, for the most part, true-to-life. There are places, however, where he takes the easy way out, using pop cul- ture icons to augment descriptions (a house that Martha Stewart would be proud of; a relationship like that of Woody and Soon-Yi). Ten years from now, few will know what those refer- ences mean, and Greenleaf's images will be lost. So what's wrong with "Flesh Wounds"? Using an interesting narra- tive technique, Greenleaf switches between two points of view: the detec- tive's, written in the fust -person; and the missing step -daughter's, written in the third -person and set in the past, but catching up to the present. That's okay, but when we get to the ending where the two points of view merge, the wheels fall off and the climax is con- trived What had been a page -turner until the last few chapters, leaves us feeling like we've been cheated And after such a great start, that's a dam shame. �i y:0. m vides so much information? The label will tell you the country of origin, winery, red t°0 or white, and might tell you appellation of O origin, vintage, grape variety, sweetness, ic- brix at harvest, vineyard and more. Most people look for grape variety and age. Choose a varietal wine like Chardonnay, or a blend. If there's a date on the the label check that too. Red wines are better if a few years old; white should be enjoyed sooner. As part of your experiment select a grape variety and then choose two or three bottles of that variety from various coun- tries. Compare a Canadian, a Californian, and a French Chardonnay for example. Experiment with the temperature of the wine to suit your taste. Allow the wine to breath awhile to uncover new subtleties in the flavour. Try wines that are the trade- mark of a region, like a zinfandel from California, or Shiraz from Australia. Remember to ask the LCBO staff for rec- ommendations. You are sure to find a few new favourites, and a wealth of wine expe- rience and enjoyment.

Owner James Gross, a dental technician by trade, had been putting extra bites into the looks and performance of imported cars as a hobby for years until he opened a IO'x 10' shop (adjoining his dental office) in Toronto eight years ago. . After selling some company sweatshirts to friends and to the members of the Porsche Car Club, he was on his way to turning his lifelong ambition into a career. Five years ago he opened limbo Sportique - now covering 5,000 square feet - on Dillingham Road. Custom cars are the maitt stay of the business, with Csl►`' I11111"D AII-ftmw t. S - • :o.
