Brenner, named in a $1 mil- lion countersuit by Stoufl'villc- area contractor Novacor, received approval from council in an in -camera meeting to hire outside counsel to get a sum- mary judgement to clear his name, at a cost not to exceed $10.000. The money is not cov- ered under the town's liability insurance. "I'm pursuing legal avenues to get them to remove (my name); to clear the mud from the waters." Brenner says. "I shouldn't be a player in this. I want my name cleared." The councillor was named, along with the town, in the countersuit, filed Jul, 5. The counterclaim states that "mali- cious interference" by Brenner damaged Novacoes reputation. Brennees legal defence, up to a maximum of $10 million, is covered under the town's insurance package with Frank: Cowan, a brokerage that han- dles most Ontario municipali- ties. With no deductible, there would have been no legal fees incurred by Pickering. .But Brenner wants his name expunged from the countersuit before the case goes to trial and asked Frank Cowan lawyers to try for the separation. But, says fellow councillor Sherry Senis, the insurance brokers said no, forcing Brenner to go to the North York firm of Kronis, Romain. Margles. Cappel and Genler, the firm hired to handle Pickering's original lawsuit against Novacor. Senis, the only dissenting vote on council, said approving the extra expense would "set a dangerous precedent." "Brenner wants his name cleared, but he's not paying for it. The taxpayer is." she explains. "The taxpayer should not be liable." Senis says Brenner should be willing to carry the financial burden for the separation. If the judge were to approve the request to remove the council- lor's name from the lawsuit, she would then gladly approve the extra expense. Her amendment was lost for want of a seconder. Brenner, however. called the latest legal manoeuvre "part of the process" of the court action. "Anyone can make an alle- gation against anyone. I don't think there's a basis here, so rm asking for a summary judge- ment. The judge will say, 'is there enough evidence?' I'm just asking that the matter be dealt with pertaining to me." If the judge rules there is enough evidence to warrant a trial, council's decision could backfire by giving Novacor "ammunition" for a serlement; potentially costing Pickering even more money. But Brenner says he isn't worried. ,rm confident. I'm not concemed, whatsoever." The councillor expects the rase to be completely cleared �. r'11nstmas. I OAC ro pulil4,0 Duyfa.

Metro may ±. `any Glenn Hendry -Metropolitan Toronto may turn its back on residents living near the Brock West Landfill Site by refusing to fund a com- prehensive health study of the area. Angelos Bacopolous, the Metro works solid waste man- agement director, wrote a letter to PACT chairman David Steele last week, recommend- ing Metro not pay for the study. Durham council agreed last spring to push Metro to mitiate the study after reading reports from two health experts - one the dean of medicine at the University of Toronto - last June. Both experts called for a comprehensive health study on local residents. Potential problems from the dump - which closes in November - include aggravated asthma and increased cases of Downs Syndrome for area resi- dents. I not pay for Brock West health study" As well, the dump will now be home to 120,000 tonnes of new waste, which will be trucked in from nearby Brock North landfill site this fall. Steele says Bacopolous' rationale in requesting that Metro deny Durham's request is flawed. "He said the study would cost (Metro) $500,000. I think he's using a half million dollars to scare everybody," Steele claims. "We haven't finished our study (of the potential cost) but I estimate the study can be done for $250,000." The issue was supposed to be dealt with at Metro's envi- ronment and public space com- mittee Monday but Steele - upset his group wasn't given enough time to prepare - was able to get an extension to October 7, after talking to com- mittee chair Joan King. "I thought (the Monday meeting) was unfair. We didn't Developers picking up the tab for Carruthers Creek servicing by Glenn Hendry Landowners in south-east Ajax who want to develop their sites in c the future will have to pay through the nose for the privilege. Developers in the "A3 -A7" area - roughly bounded by Taunton Road, Audley Road, i Lake Ontario and Pickering Beach Road - will be paying the entire $16.2 million servicing bill, which will include the Carruthers Creek pumping sta- tion and the required sewers and forcem airs. Most of the larger landowners have already agreed to these terms (.set by Durham Region) and mine developers have also agreed to front-end the cost. Runnymede Development, which owns several parcels of land in the affected area, has already provided Durham with a letter of credit worth more than $9 million. The company is look- ing for a return of some of their money from other landowners, however. Their contribution rep- resents 81.5 per cent of the pro- ject (Durham, through a Canada - Ontario infrastructure grant, is chipping in $5.1 million). while their holdings constitute just 24 percent of the area. Runnymede's share of the project, at the agreed fee of $10,959 per hectare, should be just more than $3.6 million. The front-end servicing agree- ment was struck in 1988, and the region agreed to an "endeavour to collect" from other area landown- ers. Loose lips sink ships? In -camera leaks could lead to charges By next Monday, councillors who tell tales out of school may wind up in court. Councillor Maurice Brenner has asked Pickering clerk Bruce Taylor to prepare a bylaw ;governing the conduct of elected representatives for the next council meeting. Fashioned after one ' wready in place in the City -of York in Metro, the by- law will provide fines or -other penalties for _ councillors who reveal confidential matters to the 4 .ined Section 3, subsection c -(2) of York's by-law, says �, "no member shall release or make public any information considered at a closed meeting, or <' discuss the content of such �} a meeting with persons other than members of council or relevant staff members, without the :authorization of council." t: Any member of council who contravenes subsection (2) "is guilty of an offence and, upon conviction, is liable to a fine or penalty as provided for in the Provincial Offeam Act." Brenner, who said many confidentiality breaches in the past have been infractions under the Municipal Act, hopes the proposed by-law can stem the flood of cwfidentWnty leaks coming from council. "This is not just a by- law for conduct but one that is enforceable in Pwvincral Court," he said. "We have to ensure we don't compromise the integrity of the municipality." .:l'he maximum penalty for Municipal Act inhaaions is $5,000. -1 think if we're going to operate as a business we need to ensure the standards we set for staff :are also the same standards we set for ourselves," r The largest landowner who has yet to agree to Durham's terms is Norm Picov; he owns approxi- mately 22 per cent of the area and would be required to pay the region at least $2.9 million. Picov, who attended a regional information meeting in Whitby I= week, said he will provide a written submission regarding Durham's terms by September 25. Landowners who have not contributed (but are prepared to support the concept), such as Picov and O'Shanter Developments, will be required to pay only when they hook into the system. "The by-law will strengthen the endeal•our to collect. Those who have not cownhuted in financing the construction will be required to pay their fair share when they develop," says Cliff Curtis, Durham's development approvals manager. "It's a good deal for us," adds Ken Thompson, the region's director of engineering. Other funis who have already agreed to help front-end the costs of the sewerage system include John Boddy Developments, Nugget Construction, Markborough Properties, Tribute, Bramalea, The Roster Construction, Shoal Point Developments, and Lawrence Avenue Group. The final development charge by-law will be presented to regional council for approval October know the meeting was going to take place until Friday." Ajax Mayor Steve Parish is also skeptical Metro will deal with Durham's request fairly and asked at last week's region- al council meeting that Durham send a representative to the October 7 meeting at Metro Hall. Council agreed, however, only to monitor the situation through their health and social services committee. Pickering Mayor Wayne 4 Arthurs said the health study will still take place, even if Metro decides not to partici- pate. "We've already agreed the 2 study is needed. Right now it's a. up the health committee to pick m° up the ball and press Metro for its support," he says. "If they say no, we may have to go it 0 alone, or continue negotiations with Metro for possible joint funding." The Terry Fox Run It's been 15 years since Terry Fox, one of Canada's greatest sporting heroes, began his fateful run across the country, capturing the hearts of Canadians from coast to coast.

Would many people bother? And was anyone really paying attention? As expected, the response was slight from Ajax. When residents live in a community where little other than an unwanted (but case -closed) waterplant is all you have to crab about, why bother with a survey? And with an award- winning STARS program keeping every dime on track, the community can sense that things must be pretty much in order. But Pickering was another matter. The flood of response from Pickering included so many vehement outbursts of anger and disappointment, it actually caught us by surprise The mood of the voters is ugly; an election call right now would almost certainly see the axing of just about every man on council. Only Sherry Senis, still a rookie. managed to come through unscathed. If this isn't a message to "the Boys", we don't know what is. Of particular interest were the responses from the town staff. These people, while not signing their surveys, did manage to make it clear that they were knowledgeable, speaking from personal experience. When bundles of responses began arriving in town envelopes, we learned new truths. Female staff' members were loud in their contempt for town councillors, some of whom. it appears, are sexist and offensive. The mayor should be pleased to know that he is, at least, well -liked by those who work with him daily. We were saddened by the despair that was so evident in comments from the public. many of them obviously long- time residents: "They don't listen to the people". "You have to care in order to understand (the issues)". "You11 never change anything you know". Easily the biggest black mark assigned to this council was the curious appointment of Doug Dickerson who, after being defeated in two elections, was parachuted in as regional councillor, an act which many of our residents saw as a betrayal. The fact that the unelected Dickerson (along with Johnson and Pistritto) now heads up the town's new Wring committee, can also not sit well with the voters. "The Boys" continue to amaze us. How in the name of "lower taxes" and "leaner and meaner", can they justify adding new top level executives (at top echelon wages) when the Town already has perfectly good department manager's? Why are they hiring a new Human Resource director, a new Finance chief — and both prior to the arrival of the new CAO? If present heads were not doing a good enough job, would they not have been fired, or at least moved out sideways? How top heavy most this administration be? And at what additional cost to the taxpayers? With little mote than a year left in their temts of office, isn't it about time that these councillors began considering what the future might hold? That maybe they might be going too far in the assumption that voters have short memories? If, as one cynic summarized "Higher marks would be obtained during an election year," them maybe we have reason for hope. If our survey results meat anything at all, for the mart on Pickering council, it would appear that the count -down to self-destruction has already began. lam, U I. Y4e E4U4 Do we really need Brenner? Dear Editor, I just read your articles in The Original Bay News regarding Maurice Brenner. Do we really need him? Get rid of him! If the Town of Pickering were to be run somewhat like a business – he would be history. He is a total embarrassment to the tax payers of Pickering – for which I am one. We really don't need him to find ways to increase our taxes by opening his mouth. Since it is Mr. Brenner who initiated this lawsuit with Novacor, why is he not paying for it out of his own pocket? I don't wish to see my tax dollars defend his actions. Do we the tax payers of Pickering have any say in the payment of his legal bills? He opened his mouth now let him pay for it – not RckerinB• lie wady spent $517,093.88 of our tax dollars too much. The only good news for 1996 is that we will be gearing up for an election.

For car owners, the paradox of abundant supply yet high gas prices, climaxed in furor when a 1.5 cent increase per litre occurred in the federal excise tax on gas in February 1995. For its part, the oil industry took the liberty of tacking on an additional average of six cents a litre to the cost of retail gas between budget day 1995 to about May 1995. Never had working with the taxman been more profitable! More recently, Canadians witnessed yet another round of unprecedented price increases at the pumps compliments of the oil industry. Oddly enough, foreign prices, if indeed they mean anything for a country which should be energy self- reliant, rose by 8% and have since returned to last year's levels. The increase passed on to motorists was however a staggering 1791;!

Two weeks into the high school term, area athletes, having taken to the fields and courts, are donning their school colors. Field hockey, girls basketball, boys soccer and volleyball, along with the I ost prestigious sport -- football action -- has just begun. Dunbarton's senior boys football squad look to defend the Lake Ontario Secondary School Association title they won last season. But without star running back Theron Walker and quarterback Jeff McConkey. it will be a tough Cuk. biggest problem is !.ndGn, replacements for Theron (Walker) and Jeff McConkey)," admits Uunbarton coach Peter Kuser. "But I'm sure once we ge t in to mid-season, we'll be okay." Losing two main ingredients from the LOSSA team means Kaiser and his Spartans now must rely on defence to lead them back to the Metro Bowl road. "The defence will be strong and the offence is going to have to work hard," says Kaiser. "We're going to have to win a lot of 6-0, 6-3 games this year. I don't think there is any one team that is going to dominate like past years. It will be tough." Kaiser isn't ruling out Pickering, Uxbridge or even Pine Ridge as legitimate contenders for the LOSSA crown. But Dunbarton are still the defending champs, and they plan on doing what ever it takes to keep the crown. "I'm always looking to repeat," says Kaiser. On the junior side of the ball, Pickering should be considered heavy favorites to repeat as champs. They dominated the junior schedule last season, and with some key additions, they hope to play a little more than regular and LOSSA action. Last year the team reached the semi-finals of the Junior Metro Bowl. the fust time that championship was ever staged. Pickering Trojan coach Nick Genis is modest about saying he has the team to beat, but after blowing away the competition last season, it's hard not to pin them as the favorites again this time. "This team has the potential to be even stronger than last year's team." says Genis. "But that's only on paper. All around, this team is better and I'll be relying on the whole team, but more so on defence." One "big" ingredient the team has added to its defensive line is Robert Levy. At 300 pounds and six feet tall, the grade nine student reminds Genis of another former Trojan who made it all the way to the NFL. "He's an Andrew Greene clone," said Genis of his new football player. "You look at the lad and see Andrew Greene 10 years ago." Genis said Levy wanted to be a running back, but that might only happen on short yardage plays or goal line offence. With a strong defence in place, all the Pickering coach needs is a quarteback - - something that is still being looked in to -- and someone who can carry the ball. Obviously, Pickering is looking to repeat, but Genis feels there is some good competition out there to Pickering Power blank foes to tournament title challenge for the title. Genis thinks Uxbridge could surprise some teams and Dunbarton and Dwyer are talented enough to win. What he is most excited about is the addition of two new teams to the mix. Denis O'Connor and St. Mary have both joined the league and are looking to make an impact. "We're pleased with our talent level." says St. Mary coach Tem Sheridan. "d'e'll be an aggressive team and have every opportunity to be successful." Michael O'Brien and principal Marilyn LeBrun, were the key principles in bringing junior football to the school. Several individuals along with O'Brien and LcBrun have brought the school a football team after five years of planning and hard work. "We want to ensure the players enjoy themselves playing football at the school and have a successful season," said Sheridan- Andrew heridanAndrew Cummings scored the first St. Mary points in school history with a touchdown grab while Kurt Winter scored the opening points for D.O.0 in that school's fust win as a junior team D.O.C. won the meeting of the two teams 19-8 to take the upper hand. Besides football. the Pine Ridge Pumas girls basketball team are out to defend the LOSSA title they won and the Pickering girls field lacrosse team is ready for all challengers. Anderson Collegiate out of Whitby dominated the boys volleyball, winning all three LOSSA crowns last season.

E & O E. L BETTER HOMES & BUILDERS MapleRun offers best locatioft"*, and price in Oshawa Time is running out to buy at MapleRun Homes' Parkwood Glen community, Oshawa's best new residential community. With its park like setting, Parkwood Glen - where the deer and the smart homeowners play - is truly a residential jewel; a piece of the country life with city amenities only minutes away. But you have to move fast: there are only a few lots left, including five backing onto a conservation area. By Christmas, it'll be too late. Homes in the community are chock-full of special features, not the least of which is the park -like setting. Parkwood Glen — an apt name if there ever was one — is bordered by a park (and meandering Oshawa Creek) to the east and historic Camp Samac to the west. "It's an absolutely beautiful setting," says Linda Corbitt, an on-site sales representative for builder MapleRun Homes. "If you border onto Camp Samac or the park, don't be Nurprised to see deer in your back yard." The tastes of city life: schools, entertainment, a medical clinic and shopping (including 5 Points Mall) are but a short drive to the south. At Parkwood Glen, you can truly have your cake and eat it too. And with the homes - all bungalows and two-storey houses - starting at just $139,900, the price isn't too rich, either. Inside the Parkwood Glen homes — there are just a few lots remaining, so you'd better move fast — there are a host of special features sure to please the discriminating home buyer. The main stairs have oak finished stringers, oak railing and oak spindles in natural finish, as per plan. The doors are Colonial 800 Series, with colonial trim, there are interior french doors with obscured glass in kitchen pantries, as per plans, and mirrored slider doors on front entry closets. The kitchen and bathroom features include porcelain bathroom fixture holders, pressure balance valves on tub/shower and shower glass enclosure with shower door, as per plan. Other features include ceramic floor tile in foyer, rough -in for central vac, rough -in for three-piece washroom in basement and single level faucets in all bathrooms. MapleRun offers all -brick exteriors on all plans but one (some with stone front elevations). "I don't think there's a builder out there who gives as many features as we do, for as good a price," Linda says. To make the homes at Parkwood Glen an even sweeter deal, MapleRun Homes is running an inventory sale, with discounts available on four homes, now ready for BUNKA JAPANESIro' EMBROIDERY CLASSES Beginner - Inteirrrtediate & Advanced Ajax Public Library- Main Branch 65 Harwood Ave. S.

Runs a very tight ship, gets the best out of staff at the Town of Ajax and, to their credit, the politicians let him do it. Morale of Ajax staff is high; tax payers have benefitted from substantial savings through his innovative STARS suggestion program Schaper has his own plodding style but works hard for the areas he represents. He tales a long time reaching controversial decisions but does set there. Accessible and interested in the issues, Schaper manages to get re-elected every time. L " —IP,* Although he has not been in the mayor's position for all that long, Parish deserves a pass but he needs to become more personable in his role. The on-going feud with fellow councillor Anderson which seems to have been simmering recently must be resolved. Anderson deserves the passing grade if only because he seems to have gotten over his bitter disappointment at not being appointed mayor. Anderson is much more productive when he works with Mayor Parish than when openly fighting with him. 7P i As one respondent noted, we don't know where this man gets his energy. Atkinson truly earned the title "Mr. Ajax." A tireless worker in the community for charitable functions, Atkinson has a terrific sense of humour and simply gets the job done. Brown still must shake the image of being a single issue candidate. The water plant issue has been decided and it's time to move on. A knowledgeable veteran, Brown has contributed to a good council.

Held November 2 and 3. this year's show celebrates the 25th anniversary of Art Mart. As always, the emphasis for the juried show is on quality, says Ann Galbraith, president of the Gallery's volunteer Committee. This ensures repeat attendance each year, in spite of the increased number of other arts and crafts shows in the region. An added advantaee is the arc -Christmas timinc cif Art Man. rI -an I tossur e o su ot early Organizers expect up to 70 vendors will be on hand to display their art, jewellery, woodworking, candles, hats, children's clothing, greeting cards and other crafts.

This is also an attempt to reveal something of the sit- ter's personality and, at least, freeze a moment in time. The pictures of some of Oshawa's early residents in this exhibition offer some insights into pioneer days. Thomas Bouckley (1903- 88), began collecting pho- tographs of Oshawa after receiving his father's collec- tion some years ago. A grad- uate of the University of Toronto in ceramic engi- neering. Tom Bouckley had a keen interest in local histo- ry. He authored a three vol- ume photographic record titled Pictorial Oshawa.

The idea is to first brought this convert the surplus world back from the brink plutonium into plutonium of destruction, but it left oxide and then combine it behind a huge mess. At with depleted uranium issue is the massive oxide to make a mixed stockpile of weapons- oxide fuel or MOX. Both grade plutonium leftover the conversion and the from the U.S. and Russian fabrication of the MOX warheads that are fuel bundles would take currently being place in a private U.S. dismantled. And while the plant. Once spent, disposal super powers may have of the MOX fuel bundles, finally learned their lesson which could remain radio about the abject stupidity active for thousands of of building bombs, there years, would become a are many less stable Canadian responsibility. governments who have The Bruce "A" facility not. The crux of the issue, has been selected because then, is how to render this up until now Ontario deadly garbage Hydro couldn't justify inaccessible. spending the S 350 Enter Atomic Energy million, per reactor, that is Canada Limited (AECL) needed to re -tube the with a tidy little plan that aging plant. Bruce reactor would not only take care 2 was shut down in 1995 of the plutonium problem, to avoid re -tubing costs but would also breathe and other major repairs. new life into the aging The other 3 reactors are CANDU reactors at the scheduled for re -tubing starting in 2000. But unless the MOX fuel plan is approved, it is unlikely that Ontario Hydro will be able to justify the expense. What is so terrifying about this plan is that our federal government thinks it's a great idea. At the Nuclear Safety and Security Summit held in Moscow in April, Jean Chrdtien said, "What is worrying is that the weapons (plutonium) could still be used in unwanted or undesirable ways .... CANDU is the reactor that could use it in the most efficient and safest way. We should assume our responsibility." Why? Why should Canadians take on the responsibility of the world's nuclear garbage when we still haven't come up with a concrete plan to dispose of the radioactive waste that we have already generated? Why should Ontarians be expected to foot the bill for re -tubing aging nuclear reactors that should be moth -balled? The truth is that Canada's nuclear industry is in trouble. Persistent problems at both the Pickering and Bruce facilities, coupled with increasing competition in the electricity sector, have forced even die-hard proponents to give nuclear power a long second look. With the province on the brink of restructuring Ontario Hydro, surplus generating capacity, particularly at the utility's troublesome nuclear plants, should be phased out. But, if the MOX fuel proposal is adopted, our so-called peaceful reactors will be resurrected as an indispensable part of the nuclear weapons complex. Canada's nuclear industry was built out of the weapons race that pushed humanity to the brink of destruction. Fifty years later, we are still mopping up. Our reputation as international peace keepers doesn't mean that we have to take responsibility for everyone else's discarded war tovs; nor do we want the deadly waste that accompanies it. We have enough.

If it uses less energy, it creates fewer emissions. Even the fuel we use is different — all automo- tive gasoline is now unleaded. .Most of the new ar you buy today is either made from aecycled materials or is recy- clable. Evia the auto wreck- ers reckers aren't wmcb n any iron — they're auto recyders. Greening the car - Car Care Canada believes that Canadians can do more to help keep our environment green. By keeping up with routine preventive mainte- nance, especially filter replacement and regular oil changes, drivers will keep their cars operating in the low emissions zone They'll also save money in the long term on repairs and on fuel. Most of the fluids used in cars are potentially harmful to the environment. When you look for a repair facility. make sure you choose one that has an active recycling program for engine oil and other engine fluids.
