The trappings of today's celebration are 20th century, but the roots of tradition go back centuries. Hallowe'en, in fact, is like a witches' cauldron. with a little bit of Celtic fire festival, a pinch of Druid practice, a sprinkling of classic mythology and a big dose of early Christianity thrown in for good measure. Given its name because it is the eve of All Saints Day (which, in tum, is the eve of All Souls Day), Hallowe'en has been celebrated since the third century and is associated with the cult of the dead, hence the modern-day :fascination with all things scary. In Celtic and other pagan ceremonies fires were carried from the fields on All Saints Day for fertility rites; a tradition adapted by Christians, who lit the fires to light the way home for the souls of the dead. In early Christian celebrations, midnight vigils were held to prepare for the return of the dead to their earthly homes (an almost universal custom at festivals of the dead) and wine and soul cakes (the possible precursor for the trick or treat tradition of today) were consumed. The presence of witches, ghosts and other other- worldly spirits was strong at these early Christian gatherings; this was only a few centuries after the days of Jesus Christ and old habits die hard, after all. Still celebrated by some Christian faiths, All Saints Day has fallen out of favor in North America (as has its neighbor, All Souls Day, when vigilante prayed for the dead who remained in purgatory), in favor of its more commercially successful young cousin. Those early traditions are not forgotten, however, and Hallowe'en revellers should remember that devils and spirits were much more 'real' 1,700 years ago than they are today. Now we know it's all make-believe; there's nothing to fear from ghosts and goblins or other netherworld beasts. Right? Mayor continues historical connection with HMS Ajax linked with the town's history. The mayor pointed out that the crew's victory at the Battle of River Plate was considered an important early win for the Allies, resulting in honours from the royal family and Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The victory was celebrated in Canada as well, and when a contest was held to name a munitions manufacturing area - then c a l l e d "Defence Industries Limited" and nicknamed "DILCO" -- "Ajax" was chosen. Most _-of the town's streets are named after the ship's World War II crewmen. Parish has learned that the British navy has no plans to commission a ninth HMS Ajax when its current incarnation has completed its service, and during his visit, he suggested that the navy reconsider. He isn't hopeful, though. "Most navies in the Western world are not in the expansion mode," he says "and Britain's is no exception." by David Bojarzin The man at Ajax's political helm has extended the already leni;hv historical _ 4.. - connection the town has with its nautical namesake. Mayor Steve Parish has just returned from Britain where he attended the unveiling of a memorial to crew members killed aboard the British warships Ajax, Achilles and Exter during the World War 11 Battle of River Plate. With his presence, Parish continued a tradition established by previous m a y o r s, including his father, of representing the town at significant ceremonies involving the HMS Ajax and its crew. 11 T h e connection with the town of Ajax is very important and held very highly by veterans of the battle. They are still very excited and enthusiastic about it," noted the mayor. Realizing that the ship's World War H crew members now range from their late 70s to late 80s, Parish and town council "felt it was necessary for the town to be present" at the unveiling "since it may be one of the last connections possible" with the then so inextricably Mayor Steve Parish Tho Orlenol Bay Now, - Odober 30 1996 3 No treasurer or CAO as Pickering budget talksbegin Treasurer on sick leave, CAO yet to be hired as town tries to avoid repeat of '96 fiasco by Glenn Hendry Budget fiasco, the sequel?

And somehow it even seems perfect for Hallowe'en. Remember the "rumors" editorial we did awhile back: the one where we shared some of the more humorous entries in a gossip collection that was keeping us amused at the tail end of the summer? Well, we may not have as many idle moments available for gossipy stuff these days as we had then, but reports of how Pickering is handling its finances are still good for the occasional guffaw. So, you remember the big budget screw -up? No, not the duplicate road construction payment or those details the mayor neglected to tell us about. Before that. Remember the budget process; when the town manager decided that he could do it better than the treasurer? The time they lost track of that million dollar transfer payment we wouldn't be getting this year, when the budget went out all wrong? And then they brought in an auditing committee? And the auditing committee said that the town manager had no business involving himself in the budget process in the first place? And meanwhile, the treasurer had been sent to Coventry (well, horse actually) by town council — as if the miscalculation of the million dollars had been all his fault? And then it was admitted that it wasn't the treasurer's fault at all and, as it turned out, the town manager had found hirnself a better job in North Bay? And then the town said it would be looking for an actual, qualified CAO? Okay, so here we are: it's budget time again and the town still has no CAO. And guess what? It has no treasurer either. Under stress fr+am all the nonsense of this past year, Jim Walls has been instructed by his doctor to take some sick leave.

Minister of community and social services Over 180,000 people off welfare in Ontario 0 ur government's goal is to help as many people as possible get off welfare. Since we took office in June of last year, over 180,000 people have left Ontario's welfare system. Here in the Durham Region, almost 8,000 people, or 17 percent of recipients, have stopped relying on social assistance. People are leaving the welfare system for a variety of reasons. Some people are finding jobs and our welfare reforms are having some impact. But we realize more has to be done to help people escape the welfare trap. That's why we are moving ahead with our municipal partners to implement Ontario Works starting in 20 municipalities. Ontario Works is a groundbreaking initiative that brings together many groups in the community with one purpose... to help people get off welfare. Ontario Works gives recipients opportunities to work on community improvement projects, do training linked to a job, access job supports, and use job placement agencies. Recipients are looking forward to these opportunities in the first Ontario Works sites. For example, the Director of Algoma Social Services, David Court, reports that there's been no resistance from welfare recipients. "In fact, the majority of responses from clients bas been, I'd like to have a placement, I'd like to be in a good one and I'd like to start soon," Court said. Recipients can benefit by gaining experience working on community improvement projects, acquiring skills and making contacts in our community that could lead to jobs. For example, recipients are building ramps for people with disabilities and doing some landscaping in Algoma. Our communities in Durham Region can also benefit from improvement projects that otherwise may not happen. We realize that such a fundamental reform of the welfare system is not going to happen overnight. We are taking our time to do it properly and to make sure Ontario Works guidelines are followed. For example, a person working on these improvement projects can not displace someone in a paid job. The guidelines clearly state that a recipient can not do work that has been done by someone in the paid workforce. Previously governments failed to reform the welfare system. Consequently, the number of people depending on welfare skyrocketed from 476,000 people in 1985 to more that 1.3 million when we took office last year. This cost Ontario taxpayers $40 billion. A fundamental reform of the welfare system is long overdue. That's why we are shifting from a system that focuses on handing out cheques to one that focuses on helping people get back to work. Other Canadian and American jurisdictions have successfully launched workfare programs and I believe individuals receiving welfare in Ontario deserve the same opportunities. couldn't help but smile public and media from their hides the true issue from the when I learned of the discussions, and even the taxpaying public and makes it great fuss our local outcomes.

Council approved a motion last week, demand- ing Ontario Hydro keep the town up to speed on progress reports from the beleaguered nuclear plant. Councillor Maurice Brenner, who initiated the motion, said reports from Ontario Hydro and the Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB i are sent to Durham Region, and then - as a "courtesy" - are sometimes relayed to Pickering. "Unfortunately, we have been getting reports through the back door, only when we request them," Brenner said. "But it's essential that we are getting these reports when they're being actively circu- lated, so we can comment on them. '"We wart to be acknowl- edged as a commenting body.'. Council was also notified of a notice of motion - to be heard in two weeks - demanding that the AECB place a six-month ceiling on the plant 's license renewal application, followed by a full performance review. A public meeting on the license application is planned for November 28 in Oshawa. The AECB, which has already recommended Pickering be limited to only a six month renewal, will make its decision after hear- ing comments from local residents. The Pickering plant's license expires in December.

DwO Ajax pathway gets cheaper by David Bojarzin A great deal for the Town of Ajax just got even better. Town council has awarded a S34.(W ' contract to Peltar Paving and Contracting of Thornhill for the construction of a waterfront pathway connection at the foot of Harwood Avenue - a project it had expected would cost 562100. The town was originally planning to foot the entire bill for the pathway in 1997, but it jumped at an opportunity to fund it in equal partnership with the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (MTRCA). At an October 7 meeting, the town approved the partnership and authorized staff to invite bids for construction, already pleased that it would have to pay only $31,000 on the pathway link. The acceptance of Peltar's surprisingly low bid, however, coupled with the MTRCA partnership, means the town will- only be speadirtg about $17,000 (half the cost of construction) on the project. Pathway construction will begin on October 24 and will be completed in one to two weeks, depending on the weather, parks and rec director Tom Flood says.

Ontario will implement a new system of automobile insurance. Although vehicle owners must have certain minimum levels of auto insurance by law. they will be able to buy the insurance that best suits their requirements. Owners who have bought new policies or renewed policies before November 1 will have purchased the old Bill 164 plan with its generous mandatory benefits. When the law changes November 1. insurance companies will ensure that consumers continue to get what they paid for by automatically providing options which bring their contracts back in line with the Bill 164 system. There is no extra cost for this. If you want to move immediately to the new -system, call your broker or agent to have your current policy cancelled and purchase a new one under the new system. You may see a .reduction in premiums as a result. If you choose to stay with the old system, your extra benefits will continue until your policy expires. Then when you renew your policy, You will switch to the new system. Inaddition, you will be offered the option to buy increased accident benefits. As well as the policy ,choices you make, you can .help control the cost of your premiums by how you drive, what you drive and when you drive. An accident -flee record goes a long way to keeping everyone's costs down. Remember, driving without insurance is against the law with penalties of up to $50,000. The Own"Bar Newt October 30 / 996 17 War Amps new video tells D -Day stories The War Amps has announced the release of the newest video in its popular NEVER AGAIN! Series. Juno Bcach to Caen tells some of the lesser-known stories of the days following the D -Day landings of June 6, 1944. The video has been produced in two parts, each an hour irglength. War Amps Chief Officer Cliff Chadderton wrote, produced and narrated the video. A Normandy veteran who fought with the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, Chadderton noted that despite so much having been written about the D -Day landings, there are still stories to be told. "Most people are familiar with what happened on D -Day, when Canadian troops, as part of an Allied force, stormed the beaches of Normandy. There are two important elements of the story missing, however, in the public knowledge of what took place when we breached the vaunted defences of Hitler's Europe," he said. Chadderton said one story often missed is that the actual touchdown was in the hands of less than 4,000 infantry, mainly from four regiments -- the North Shores of New Brunswick, the Queen's Own Rifles of Toronto, the Regina Rifles and the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, supported by two 'up front' tank regiments -- the Fort Garry Horse of Winnipeg and the I st Hussars of London. The second element rarely told is that it took a full month to gain a few miles and hold onto it, despite ferocious counter-attacks," Chadderton said. He pointed out that Caen was the original objective which was supposed to be taken on the first day_ It actually took a month, during which the job was left mostly to the Canadians of the 3rd Division and the 2nd Armoured Brigade to combat the Germans and eventually capture this pivotal city.
