Pickering Council debates - in -camera - merits of unloading library property to mystery buyer
by Glenn Hendry
The Town of Pickering
has a buyer for the
Rougemount Public
Library, .t property council-
lors didn't even know was
for sale.
The fate of the library
was the trigger for yet
another debate on secret
meetings Monday night. as
councillors argued the mer-
its of' discussing the possi-
ble land sale in public or in -
camera.
Council eventually decid-
ed to adjourn the meeting to
discuss the issue behind
closed doors, but not before
it was revealed the property
in question was the
Rougemount Library.
The property has not yet
been declared "surplus" by
council, although sources
say the library board has
already made a budget
request for more than $1
million for a new library in
Pickerine s west end.
Several councillors were
angry that the issue had to
be debated out of the public
eye, including Maurice
Brenner (who boycotted the
in -camera meeting), Doug
Dickerson (who refused to
attend a secret meeting on
another issue nine days pre-
viously) and Sherry Senis,

The death of John
)MacLean. 23, had been
reported as a train fatality
but Stall Sgt. Bob Peacock
says there's "no indica-
tion" that the man was
actually hit by the train.
Peacock says conclusive
evidence of a collision -
such as blood or hair - was
not found on the train.
Police are still waiting for
the results of an autopsy.
MacLean's damaged car
was found nearby in a
ditch and bloat was dis-
covered on the driver's
door. MacLean, police say,
may have suffered serious
injuries in the accident and
collapsed by the tracks.
The accident was report-

tor of the CP Rail freight

The driver saw a body by
the tracks and immediately
stopped the train, police
say.
MacLean was pro-

"It's up to the people to say how
Precious tax dollars should be
spent. The fact nobody has come to
me (to say the bridge is needed)
leads me to believe it isn't a priori-
ty," McTeague says. "Besides,
you've already got a walkway over
the highway: it's called Liverpool
Road."
Quinn, who unveiled staff's
"wish list" of projects (just in case
Ottawa approved another infra-
structure funding program) at
Monday's council meeting,
k><:lieves the Liverpool Road bridge
i, a "dangerous" public walkway,
however. He also takes offense
with kA -r-
belief that the
pedestrian bridge isn't a priority for
Pickering.
"There's no question, the bridge
will be an important project for the
town. It's a very valuable project."
Sure enough, the bridge occu-
pied the number one spot on staffs
'A' list. although Quinn insists the
projects are not fisted in order of
importance. Quinn adds that the
list is "for discussion only" and
will be revised in the near future.
But McTeague questions
Quinn's priorities, saying road re-
construction, sewers and the re-
construction of major bridges are
the kinds of projects the infrasnw-
ture program was designed for.
'The infrastructure program
should be limited to what is essen-
tial to the community," he says.
Ottawa served up the first infra-
structure program in 1994, after
promising it as an election goody
the previous year. Pickering, which
received $3.2 million, used the
money to build the Claremont
Community Centre, as well as
other projects.
The choice of the community
centre - a centre of controversy in
1994 - was one reason McTeague
decided to keep closer tabs on
Pickering's decision this time. The
Pickering resident is demanding
Ottawa receive a "right of refusal"
should the federal government
question a municipality's project
choice.
McTeague wonders if the resi-
dents are to he the chief heneficia-
ries of the bridge project, which
would link the Pickering Go
Station and Pickering Town
Centre.
"If it's an idea that will henefit
the downtown core, fine. But my
first question is, do the people
want this? If this is to benefit the
mall, then perhaps the mall should
pay for it."
Pickering, however, has already
laid the groundwork for the bridge,
which is expected to cost between
$2 million and S3 million to build.
Last year the town gave $125,0()()
to the transport ministry to build
the footings for the bridge during
the ongoing widening of the high-
way. Constructing the footings at a
later date would have cost
Pickering more than $200,000.
The bridge is part of the town's
long range Plans for its downtown
and for a Pedestrian and bike trail
system through Pickering.
Other items on the town staff
list include six other 'A' projects
(one, the reconstruction of
Sheppard Avenue/I'wyn Rivers
Drive from Rosebank Road to
Town Line, may curry more favor
with the MP as it lies near
McTeague', home), and six pro-
jects on a 'B' list (including a
Performing Arts Theatre at 54.5
million and the re -development of
Port Pickering Marina at S2 rnd-
lion) that staff believes may not
meet the program's criteria.
The infrastructure program, if it
does proceed, will likely be
announced this spring, before the
expected federal election.
McTeague, who says the pro-
gram is "still only talk." bebees
taxpayers would be better served if
Ottawa made cutting the deficit a
higher priority instead.

Malmsten believes savings can

including our debt -ridden provin-

ries of the STARS program.
"I believe that if every govern-
ment used the program we could

adds that Premier Mike Harris•
who claims to be on his way to
cutting S6 billion off the provin-
cial deficit through service cuts, is
going about it the wrong way,
"That's just cost reductions;
that's not the way STARS works.
You have to change the culture in
the organization with fundamen-
tal process changes to see
results."
Malmsten has already talked to
the federal government and notes
that Health and Welfare Canada

Editorial opinion
Why does nobody listen?
Ask any teacher about working conditions these days
and you are liable to end up wishing you hadn't posed
the question in the lust place.
A spend more time trying to maintain order and
discipline than I do teaching," lamented a teacher -friend
recently, echoing the comments of so many others we
know.
Why is it that in teaching our children to "respect
yourself', so many of us neglect to ensure that respect
for others — especially for our teachers — is not'also
part of that training?
Lack of respect, and the arrogance that goes with it, is
rampant these days, as we reap the spin-off from the
"Nie" generation. And teachers. it would seem, are
getting it from both ends.
John Snobelen, in squaring off the way he has against
our teachers, is a prime example of all that is wrong in
today's educational system. Through his ill-informed
arrogance, he continues to demonstrate little respect for
his troops — those men and women who must battle
daily ti rth so many up-and-coming misfits of society —
but who might possibly have the answers to our
education ills.
Boards of education have always been top-down
enterprises, with those at the top assuming they knew all
the answers. We now have an education minister who,
alone with his committee. thinks he knows even more.
Has anyone bothered to ask the teacher!
Would the mess in our health scheme be less today if
that ministry had bothered to consult our now semi -on -
strike doctors?
One of the least -taught skills in recent years has been
the simple an of listening. Children who do not learn to
listen respectfully — to their parents, to other adults, to
their teachers, even to their peers — invariably grow
into impatient, arrogant adults.
Pity the poor teacher who inherits not one, but often a
class full of voting ones who have never learned that
others also have a right to be treated, and listened to,
with respect.
Initiatives like the STARS program work because the
information gathered is gleaned from those who know
the facts, who face the problems daily, who have a good
idea of how the process could be improved. In fact, the
STAR$ program does more than just save money-, by
indicating that someone is listening, it demonstrates
respect for each individual in the place.
Government departments and businesses who bother
to ask for employee assistance — and then have the
courage to follow-through with well thought-out plans
of action — can only benefit in the long run. Because a_
little respectful listening can rem* in a lot of knowledge
gained.
Self-respect ani self-assurance are great qualities to
possess. But not if they aren't balanced by respect for the
voices and opinions and differences of others.
Being a patient may not always be easy, but think how'
much harder it must be to be a teacher.

Was council's decision based on
sound advice?
To the Editor,
The Town of Pickering Council this creek passed a motion
recommending to the AECB that the Pickering Nuclear
Generating Station be given no more than a 6 month probationary
license to continue operating the station. It is to be hoped that this
decision is not as arbitrary and simplistic as it appear to bc.
We have to ask if this decision was made on the batiis of sound
advice from the management of the Statiog, nuclear engineers,
nuclear physicists, and experts, -
epidemiologists, etc. qualified to
make such a judgement. Or was it
sort of ad hoc due to pressure on the
Council members from the pressure
groups involved in this issue? I
wonder if for too many years now
we've been listening only to these
self-appointed groups with their
one-sided, minimalist points of
view.
As a long-term resident
neighbour of the nuclear station,
and a small business owner for 27
years, I have never at any time
experienced any ill effects or
inconvenience because of its
operation, and have always
considered the facility a well-managed very good corporate
citizen with acknowledged safest nuclear technology in the world.
The bottom line is, what would we do without them? The
economic and social benefits of this Station and Ontario Hydro
are crucial to the well-being of every family in our large
communities. Not only do they create a product needed by
everyone, we also benefit from their employees working and
living in the Region of Durham, and business is promoted by their
policy of buying for the Corporation locally where that is feasible.
Councillor Sherry Senis is to be commended for her motion
with a "friendly" amendment during the debate that would

«eekend I spent
,ume time in th
soulhem part of Hatiburto
CCoitnIry. My family has
a
x►wned cottage in 11aGhuron
for over twenty years, and I
have had the good fortune to
explore and find many
interesting natural areas in this
Pan of Central Ontario.
Close to the cottage. I
visited a section of Crown
Land that was selectively
harvested for mature red and
white pine ►reel. Foresters
tern this arca a "shelterwood
cul" where the mature trees
are removed in a manner that
promotes the regeneration of
seedlings naturally sown from
the remaining trees. From a
forestry perspective, this area
is performing extremely well,
with ten years of excellent
regeneration.
I was pleasantly surprised
during my visit to see a cow
moose and its two calves.
They looked to be in excellent
shape, and the presence of a
cow moose with a pair of
calves is a good ecological
indicator of a prime moose
range.
In the field of natural
resource management, we
often look for ecological
indicators to ensure that ou
activities are performing t
e expected standards. Th
n presence or absence o
s wildlife has always been a key
component of monitoring
ecosystem health.
Along the Toronto
waterfront, we are monitoring
various species of wildlife as
indicators of our shoreline's
health. Last month, I
highlighted how we monitor
marsh birds as pan of a Great
Lakes -wide wetland
management program. In
addition to this program, my
colleagues at the conservation
Authority conduct annual fish
community monitoring
surveys along the shoreline
ecosystem.
Fish are excellent indicators
of the health of a shoreline.
Over the years we have
collected, tagged, and released
many Northern Pipe from the
Rouge River Marsh and
Frenchman's Bay. This
species of fish is very
dependent on healthy
wetlands for their long-term
survival and growth. By
monitoring the size, weight
and age of Norther Pike, we
can compare how well their
habitat is functioning and

The
indicates that the habitat is
f gable enough for it to survive
the ten or so years it takes to
attain that size. In areas where
the water quality is poor or the
shoreline lacks appropriate
habitat, large pike are not as
abundant. Small pike are
important too. Three years
ago we had exceptionally high
water levels, and many
shoreline areas were flooded.
This is critically important for
pike because they spawn on
flooded vegetation. Since that
time we have found an
incredible number of young
Pike in our surveys.
We have tracked the
success and development of
these fish, and it has provided
some interesting insight into
the environment and, in turn,
our management of the
shoreline to improve fish
habitat. For more information

Pickering 5.3. It w;is the first loss of the
seWson for the Panthers after jumping out
to a 12-0-2 record.
"We're all disappointed with the loss,"
said Panther coach John Blackburn.
"We're ecstatic to get off to the start we
(lid. It was inevitable (we would lose),
but you have to regroup. It's a long year."
Pickering had knocked off the Islanders
in their own barn 3-2 last month. This
title it was Thomhill's turn for revenge.
"I'm sure they wanted a little bit of
revenge for what happened last time,"
says Blackburn. "It gives teams a shot in
the ann to give someone their first loss.
They're first in their division and we're
first in our division; you've got to
compete against the good teams. For
some reason, we came out flat and
unprepared." -
Pickering's downfall was due to a
dreadful start.
Thornhill went ahead 5-0 before the
Panthers realized the Islanders weren't
going to give away two points. Midway
through the second period, with Thornhill
up by five, the Panthers had managed
only six shots on goal.
"It was a bad start," says Blackbum
who had no Wlanation for the team not
being ready to play. "Twenty guys just
weren't ready. It wasn't just one guy. Our
accident. Both players
suffered numerous injuries
after crashing into the back
end of a tractor trailer.
Arseneau suffered a
broken leg and is unable to
see out of his left eye. Wyse
tlso suffered a broken leg
along with a broken arm and
internal injuries. Both
players will be gone for the
season; a big blow for the
Axemen. In the game earlier
that night. Arseneau had a
four -goal game against the
Eagles.
Both players are currently
at Sunnybrook Health
Science Centre.
"It's been a bad month,"
says Axemen head coach
Bill Bowden.
Ajax could have used the
two players in the return
match in Bowmanville last
Sunday night. The Eagles
were able to extract a little
revenge on their arch rival
as they held on for a 6-5
win.
Making his return to his
old stomping grounds,
Axemen goaltender Joey
Walters would have liked to
pick up another win against
his former club. Walters had
beaten Bowmanville in the
9-5 win at home a week ago,
but it was ex-Axemen
netminder Hercules
Karasavvidis who turned the
tables.
"It felt good to beat the
old team (last week)."
Walters says. "But after the
first game against them, it's
just another team."
It was Walters's first loss
since joining the Axemen
after nine starts between the
pipes.
"I guess you've got to lose
a couple," shrugged Walters.
After getting over the
shock of LaBelle's stroke.
the team is now faced with
this latest adversity --- the
car accident involving two
of their players.
"It's been a bad beginning
to the season," says Walters.
"But we've coped with it.
The guys (Arseneau and
Wyse) want to come back
and watch the team.
Hopefully that will be an
inspiration to us."
After last Sunday's loss,
the Axemen dropped to 9-9
on the season, four points up
on fourth place
Bowmanville and in a tight
battle with Peterborough for
second place.

No one took the
loss harder than

Daniel Jacques.
Jacques was 10-0-2

had provided the
Panthers with all -

After giving up
four goals in 24

Janct Ecker is not amused by

recipients not be penalized if
they refuse Io participate in

controversial workfare pro-
gram.
Whitbv Mayor Tom

posal that participation in the

come "resistance" from the
community.
"This program needs
changes. If this is adopted the
government of Ontario can
use this to help eliminate the
roadblocks," he explained.
"This (amendment) simply
means the involvement must
be voluntary. If you want
something done, then you've
got to get people who want to
do it. That's the way to get the
job done."
Ecker maintains communi-
ty agencies, such as the
United Way, have been slow
to come on board because
they have been "threatened"
with financial penalties - a
tactic she calls "unaccept-
able" - by labor groups. She
also accuses union leaden of
running a campaign of "dis-
tortion and misinformation."
The amendment passed 5-3
at committee and the full
motion (after Oshawa coun-
cillor Jim Potticary stormed
out of the meeting, calling
Edwards and Oshawa coun-
cillor Brian Nicholson "com-
munists" as parting shots)
was carried unanimously. The
two other components of
workfare - employment sup-
port and employment place-
ment - met with little resis-
tance.
The program has been
strongly rejected each time it
has played to the Durham
public - sentiment has been
unanimously anti -Workfare at
several public meetings - but
Ecker remains undaunted.
"I think our critics have
made their position very
clear; they're against work-
fare and they are against get-
ting people back into the
work force. And that's what
the program is all about,"
Ecker says. "That's their view
and I respect their opinion,
but our government was very
clear about what we felt was
needed."
Ecker claims her govem-
ment is already making good
on its promise to get people
off social assistance and into
The workforce: a govern-
ment-sponsored survey
claims 180,000 people have
gone off the dole since the
Mike Harris government
made its financial and eligi-
bility cuts to the welfare sys-
tem last June. Nearly 62 per
cent of those people, the sur-
vey states, left the system to
find work, a finding that
Ecker says is "encouraging."
Ecker says there is no hard
and fast deadline for Durham
or other regions to get
involved, although her gov-
emTmnt does want it in place
across the province by 1998.
"We want to do it right. It's
a very, very major fundamen-
tal shift in how the social
assistance system works," she
said. "Other communities,
like North Bay, Muskoka and
Peel, have been moving
ahead. Durham seems to be
lagging behind."
Relocation begins for Kennedy
House Youth Detention
by David Bojarrrn
?ire Kennedy House Youth
Detention Centre is one step
closer to its new home. The
unfenced correctional facility,
currently tucked away in a
Church Street/Rossland Road
residential area, will soon be
moving down Church to
waterfront land temporarily
owned by the town of Ajax,
thanks to a three-way land
swap involving the town,
Kennedy House and Hi -Rise
Structures Inc.
The relocation scherne is the
product of negotiations among
a town that did not want any
high rises built on its
waterfront, a detention centre
looking to expand, and a
developer that did not want to
simply sell off its waterfront
Piny.
Under the agreement, Hi -
Rise sold its strip of land along
the waterfront to the town in

'urrently occupied by
Kennedy House. The town is,

In the words of Linda Jansma,

"Juried Exhibitions represent
the most democratic of
processes: an assessment of

those of one's peers. To all who
have participated in the Town of

congratulations. While it takes a

"I survived another killer truck"
by Sandra Tkacruk
On Nov. 5 at 11:30 a.m. I
took the Liberty St. off ramp in
Bowmanville. As I slowed
down to turn onto Liberty St.
the truck ahead of me by at
least six car lengths lost the
front end of its load. I was
unaware of this until I saw what
I thought were 3 truck tires
-oiling by the back end of the
:ruck towards me. I was
unaware that they were really 3
rolls of steel weighing 3000 lbs.
each. I almost hit 9000 lbs. of
steel by four feet. The driver
seemed like he wanted to leave
them and keep going so I wrote
down his trailer plate and
company name. I then pulled
up beside him and gestured that
he lost some of his load. This
made him stop to get out and
check the damage. I didn't
want him to leave and it
worked. I immediately went
and phoned 911 and returned to
the scene.
1 urged the police officer to
call the Ministry of
Transportation. I said I would
not be leaving until this truck is
inspected. While I was waiting
I watched this truck driver try
to clean up the mess and leave
as quickly as possible with tow
trucks helping him. I made
them all aware I was prepared
to stand in front of this truck
and not move until it was
inspected. Everyone then took
me seriously. The Ministry of
Transportation then showed up.
All I could think of was
Angela Worona and her family.
She died one year and nine
months ago by a flying truck
tire and I almost joined her. By
the looks of things these
dangerous trucks are still on the
road. The driver was also
aware of his unsafe load
The driver and the company
were both charged with
carrying an -insecure load" but
now have to go through the
court system for their penalties.
Thanks to Susan Atherton from
the Ministry of Transport who
did her job perfectly.
All 1 heard at the accident
scene was "you are very lucky
to be alive. By the time we get

Using window shades is
another way to maximize
available heat, while
minimizing heat loss. Leave
shades open during the day to
allow passive solar heat to
enter ,your home, and draw
them at night to prevent heat
loss.
Weather-stripping
materials can also be
used around windows
or doors to help reduce
heat loss. Use v -
shaped spring vinyl in
the joints of double -
hung windows. Attach
adhesive -backed strips to the
bottom of doors and windows.
Switch plates, light fixtures
and electrical outlets can also
channel cold air into your
home. Foam gaskets behind
cover plates will effectively
reduce air leakage on exterior
walls. Another way to cut
down on drafts is to install
child safety caps in outlets
when they are not in use.
A lot of the benefit of
available space heat is lost
because it naturally rises to the
ceiling. Installing reversible
ceiling fans can help maximize
your useable heat by forcing
warm air back down. The same
fan can be reversed in summer
months to cool rooms by
flow.
Set your thermostat to a
maximum of 20 degrees
Celsius. Every degree above
this temperature can increase
the energy used for space
heating by about 30%. Turning
your thermostat down five
degrees at bedtime or when
you're away from your
home can add up to a
14!7r saving.
Programmable
thermostats can be
programmed to heat up
your home just before
you awaken, turn the
heat back down about
the time you leave for work,
and return the heat to a
comfortable temperature at the

local Service Clubs and
Social Service agencies

participate in this event.
In addition to
Salvation Army officials,
'two new "emergency
response" vehicles will
be on hand to serve
+coffee. An Army band
will supply the music.
The new Centre boasts
a larger Food Bank area,
offices for counselling,
budgeting, and lifestyle
issues, and a program
>-room to be used for
circulating the air. Check when
you last had your oil or gas
furnace cleaned. Oil furnaces
should be serviced annually to
ensure maximum efficiency.
Because gas furnaces are
cleaner burning. they need
only be serviced every two
years. Furnace air filters
should be cleaned regularly,
and replaced every four to six
months to ensure adequate air
