Pickering's nuclear future
was put on hold for two weeks
Thursday, keeping Ontario
Hydro hopes alive that the
beleaguered station will receive
a two year license renewal.
The Atomic Energy Control
Board (AECB), responsible for
monitoring nuclear power in
Canada, deferred its decision on
the station's license despite a
recommendation from the
AECB's own staff that the sta-
tion receive only a six-month
renewal.
Even Ken Talbot, the
Pickering Nuclear Generating
Station director, has admitted
the license "will be six months,"
although that didn't stop him
Brenner to
the rescue
Pickering residents with
concerns about the town's
revised Official Plan very near-
ly lost a chance to debate the
revisions.
The amendments to the doc-
ument, which will guide town
development for the next 20
years, were deferred from
November 7 to Monday's coun-
cil meeting. But the item ended
up as an executive committee
add-on to the regular meeting.
leaving link notice for resi-
dents who wanted to attend.
Riding to the rescue of the
residents was regional counci-
lor Maurice Bronner, who
heard the concerns and man-
aged to defer the plan to an
executive committee meeting
on January 6.
from campaigning vigorously
for two years at AECB hearings
in Oshawa.
AECB president Dr. Agnes
Bishop said Thursday it's "not
unusual" for the board to defer a
licensing decision, stating at a
brief press conference only that
"the final decision will not he
made today."
The board's decision not to
decide has Durham Nuclear
Awareness (DNA) spokesman
Dave Martin concerned the
AECB may "not be tough
enough" to make the right deci-
sion.
"Pickering could still have a
six month renewal but the
AECB has to get tougher with
them. It all comes down to how
tough the AECB wants to get
and how short a leash (the sta-
tion) will have," Martin says.
The two-week deferral may
have been planned to leave the
impression the nuclear station is
"close" to receiving a full
renewal, Martin speculates, but
he was betting on the AECB
granting a quick six month
license "to look tough."
Martin, who is demanding a
power reduction at the station
(to 60 per cent of capacity) and
the shut -down of the older 'A'
plant, says he is confident the
station's license will be condi-
tionally renewed for six months.
"Typically, the board does
adhere to the recommendations
of their staff," he says. "Ontario
Hydro has lobbied a business as
usual two-year license, but there
are so many problems that it
will be just unacceptable of the
AECB to allow business as
usual in the coming six
months."
Some of those "problems"
include at least six "significant"
events at the plant since 1983
from heavy water leaks to ser-
ous flux tilts - and a litany of
other concerns centred on work-
er training, behavior and atti-
tudes.
Talbot, backed by union rep-
resentatives, still maintains the
plant is safe and has reassured
board members the problems at
the plant will be corrected
quickly.

Barry Malmsten heading west to take CAO post at Halton Region
-from cover
The announcement was
bittersweet for the popular
Malmsten, who had just
helped launch the town's
drive for the ambitious ISO
9001 quality rating.
"It was a tough decision to
leave; 1 was having a lot of
fun and it wasn't really time
to go," he says. "But it was a
good career decision.
Sometime you have to take
the opportunities when they
come up."
1t is certainly a step up for
Malmsten, whose CAO
career path has taken him
from a township (Pittsburgh,
1989-94) to a town (Ajax,
1994-97) and now to a
regional government. The
responsibilities running the
Halton ship will be immense;
the population of Halton (just
west of Metro) - at 330,000 -
rivals Durham Region and
has a regional -sized budget.
Currently, Malmsten has 250
employees working for him:
Get your head out of the sand
is mind boggling
to hear some of our
e l e c t e d
representatives making
ostrich -like comments
about issues that concern
all of us. Case in
point are two
quotes from
Pickering Mayor
Wayne Arthurs.
First, when
asked about what
will happen concerning
the Durham Regional
Police budget: "If the
police cannot meet the
budget reduction target,
that fact will be pointed
out on the tax bill." And
this is Leadership?
(Arthurs, incidentally, is
budget chief at Durham
Region.)
Second, when asked

strategy to deal with such
a possibility "because at
this point we don't need
one.
With this kind of
thinking, is it any wonder
that the province
is proceeding
with its own
plans? As former
MPP George
Ashe has stated
amalgamation is
"inevitable". Can't
politicians, for once, quit
protecting their own
interests and strive for
real savings for the
taxpayers they represent?

Arthurs stated that he
hasn't heard anything
about provincial plans for

that Pickering has no
Gas plant fouling dump party
by Glenn Hendry
A proposed expansion of a
methane energy company at
Brock West Landfill Site is
threatening to spoil Pickering
Council's post dump party.
Councillors were hoping to
make Monday an evening to
celebrate after the dump - a
lightning rod of angry debate
over its closure and the source
of millions of dollars in legal
fees over its closure - officially
shut its gates Saturday.
On the heels of the closure,
however, came a proposal
from Super Blue Box
Recycling (a division of
Eastem Power, which operates
a methane plant on site) for a
pilot project that would covert
garbage and recyclables into
energy.
The current operation con-
verts on-site waste into
methane. But with the damp's
closure, new garbage will have
to be imported to make the
pilot project feasible, a revela-
tion that prompted the two
sides to engage in a war or
words.
., Greg Vogt of Super Blue
Box calls the proposal "cut-
ting-edge environmental tech-
nology." Councillors, however,

at Halton, his staff will be
1,800.
Malmsten's salary will also
see a substantial increase; 30
per cent more in fact. The top
end of the range in Halton is
$122,000, up from $90,000
in Ajax.
"This will be interesting;
it's different dynamics. But
the region has been innova-
tive over the years so it
should be a good fit."
It was Malmsten's own
flair for innovation and his
skills as a motivator that
drew the attention of Halton
Regional Chairman Joyce
Savoline when the time came
to choose a replacement for
John Burke, who left Halton
for the city manager's post in
Ottawa.
"His employment record at
Ajax was part of our decision
but it was a lot of things, not
just what he's done in Ajax,
that attracted us to him," says
Savoline, who had been
aware of Malmsten through
the STARS media coverage
this year. "In Halton we've
been change -oriented, with
some innovative protects
"Mr. Malmsten, with the
type of work he's done
before, he's proven. He's also
change -oriented so he'll be
perfect for Halton."
One project Malmsten will
lend his expertise to is the
Halton Urban Structure Plan,
a $500 million growth -
focused Official Plan that
will try to find room (and ser-
vicing without extra taxation)
for an expected boost of
200.000 people to the region
over the next 25 years.
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish
says he will be sorry to see
his CAO leave, but he under-
stands that Halton gave
Malmsten an offer he could-
n't refuse.
"Barry has been a great
CAO. He's done tremendous
work for the town and we've
had a great working relation-
ship," the mayor says. "We've
accomplished a lot and we're
all sorry to see him go but it's
a good career move.
"All the initiatives we've
started will continue. The
direction will be the same
and we'll continue to do what
'.ke've been doinu.-
Parish's words were
echoed by Jackie Lumsden,
Malmsten's administrative
assistant, who says she will
especially miss the "enthusi-
asm and spirit" her boss
brought to the job, especially
in the STARS program.
"He's instilled a great deal
of confidence in each and
every staff member. NVe
know we can continue the
journey he has started."
Whether STARS, an
employee -driven program
that has saved Ajax S1.6 mil-
lion over the past 16 months,
gets introduced at Halton will
be up to regional employees,
says Malmsten.
"I'm not going to walk in
with an agenda: I have to get
into the culture of the com-
munity first," he explains. "I
need to go in with an open
mind and let (the employees)
set the agenda. What I do
depends on what their needs
are.
Ajax Human Resources
Director Rick Parisotto will
take over as acting CAO until
a new boss is chosen. likely

It was with profound disappointment that we received
the news of Barry Malmsten's coming departure from the
Town of Ajax. It seems like just yesterdav that the white
knight rode in from the east, ready and eager to right all
the wrongs in a town administration that, at the time,
knew it was in need of a fix -up if it hoped to weather
impending budget cuts.
So successful was the STAR$ program, the town saved
millions and Barry himself became a star. The white
knight rides off into the sunset to joust in larger arenas.
leaving behind a grateful town continuing its own battle
to achieve excellence. and an ISO rating. almost unheard
of in town administration
Malrnsten's move also leaves Ajax in the same position
as Pickering — in need of a CAO. Suddenly, we have
both towns out head-hunting (and laying out big bucks
competing with each other) for talent. The timing is
incredible.
To date. Pickering has remained consistent in its
inability to recognize the reality of impending
amalgamation. Not wanting to even discuss the
Possibility of joint administration with Ajax, Mayor
Arthurs has gone on record as admitting "We weren't even
looking that way,” when asked his opinion of possibly
sharing Malmsten's talents. When will the penny drop?
Amalgamation is not a case of "if', it is a matter of
"when". With Queen's Park now losing patience with the
mayors of the existing Metro area, can enforcement be
long in coming? And do our local politicians really
believe that we, out here on the fringe, will somehow
avoid this overpowering provincial menace?
Dream on.
The Mike Harris government has made it clear that
municipalities must either find ways to economize, or
face having the province do it for them. To the province,
amalgamation has become a game. Can anyone doubt that
the name of this game is control?
But with some intelligent thinking and joint planning,
our Pickering and Ajax politicians could take their own
control of this amalgamation process, design a plan for
us, and beat the province to the punch But will they do
that?
Are our politicians capable of such co-operation?
In recent weeks, we have noticed that Pickering has
been advertising for a new head for its transit company.
Pickering has also been seeking a Haman Resource chief~
Pickering needs a CAO. And now Ajax needs a CAO.

Development calls for in-depth study
To the Editor,
It was with much surprise that I learned of the plan of
development at the north end of Frenchman's Bay, bordering
the land south of Bayly Street.
.My recollection of those lands and of previous reports
regarding the development of same, they were most strongly
condemned for such use. Not only was "high rise" of any
description condemned as totally unsuitable for such use but,
because of the "type of land" from Bayly Street to the bay, it
was also considered unsuitable.
With this in mind I would recommend that an in-depth
study be conducted before any approval be given and the
results of such a study be made public.
Of course, the question that also comes to mind is "when
the balance of individual rights against society rights" comes
into play. It will not be much of a future if all our wetlands
are gone. Has the Town of Pickering tried to protect the
rights of the land -owners without sacrificing the
environment? There are times when the rights of the
individual have to be suppressed for the benefit of the
common good. The Town of Pickering does have the right to
protect the ietrrest of its citizens — hopefully "all" will be

In closing. "money talks" and so I suggest that everyone in
the area insist that all facts be made public and act on same.

Witty has conflict of interest
To the Editor,
There is no way that Jim Witty should be chairman of the
Region and chairman of the Police Services Board. There is
conflict of interest, and the public suffers for it. He should
resign one position or the other.
Jim Witty, chairman of the Police Services Board goes
back to Jim Witty chairman of the Region with the message
that the police need more money. Jim Witty of the Region is
given the message that the public can't afford more money.
He can't take that message to the Police Board, so he goes
public with scare stories, and frightens the taxpayers to get
the money.
Last year 70 new members were added to the police force,
along with new money to pay their wages. This year, unless
taxes are increased again, 80 constables must be let go.
What's going on?

It wouldn't be'ChristmasWifhout a panto
by Marjorie Green
One of Britain's most
delightful traditions — and one
which Canadian theatre imports
annually — is the Christmas
pantomime.
A hit with all ages because
the action is played to the kids
while the jokes are aimed at the
adults, the panto comes with a
guarantee that the audience is
in for a couple of hours of song
and dance, noise and silliness.
"The Three Bears", this
year's Pickering Players
offering, even has an actual
slap -stick — in case you've
never seen one — and
faithfully follows the rules of
panto: several of the males are
dressed as females; the main
male role (the prince) is played
by a female (Amanda Sloane)
and The Dame character, also a
male in drag (a difficult role,
handled well by Peter Bou-
Ghannam) is consistently
outrageous.
The audience is expected to
cheer the hero, boo the villain,
and even answer back on cue
— oil, yes you will!
"We started our auditions in
September," says Doreen White
who, in addition to being stage
manager and assistant director
for this amateur production,
also made a number of the
many costumes the play called
for. "Whatever kids showed up,
we found them a part."
And the kids, over a dozen
of them making up most the
ensemble, are probably the real
stars of this family show. Little
Emma Pesme, a rabbit with just
one line to deliver, manages to
steal the show — she is all of
three years old.
The story line, which is
careful to include, untarnished,
the original Goldilocks and
Three Bears tale, follows the
adventures of the furry trio
(Christine Pesme, Jaime
Morgan and Patrick Hu -A -
Kam) after they are granted the
power to sing and speak by
Titania. Queen of the Faeries
(Sue Telfer).
When a wicked circus owner
(Andrew Wright) discovers the
bears' talents, he sends his silly
henchmen, Ali and Oop (Phil
Hill and Derek Genova) to
capture them. And everyone,
even the Countess Dracula
(Katie Doran) gets involved.
While Goldilocks (played
Valley -girl style by Maggie
White) is not the main
character, she could he
considered the "glue" which
binds this curious tale together.
For a panto, Robert Marlowe's
story line is actually quite
good.
Now celebrating their 151h.
year, and already planning next
year's pantomime (Puss 'n'
Boots — we can hardly wait).
the Pickering Players are
holding auditions on December
3 and 5 for the six adult roles in
"I Hate Hamlet", to be
presented in February, once
again in the unique Dunbarton-
Fairport United Church.
"The Three Bears" continues
with weekend matinee and
evening performances until
December 14. For tickets and

But for Cornacchia and
McCormick to crack the squad
full of OHL players was a major
accomplishment for them.
"It's been on my mind a lot
and I thought I had a good
chance to make the team." says
Cornacchia. "Making it this far
is a big thrill. Now we're up
against a big group of people."
Both Panther players were
striving towards being a pan of
the Ontario U 17 team. It's one of
the biggest steps towards being
recognized by OHL teams and a
chance to test your skills against
some of the possible future stars
Pickering resident Sean Avery
of the National Hockey League.
"We've talked about making
the team so much," says
McCormick. "It was a big sigh
of relief and we're both happy to
be on the team. It's a great
feeling to know that we'll be
wearing the Ontario shirt and
competing against some great
players from around the world
and Canada.

"I'm looking forward to
representing our province and
showing our competitiveness,"
says Panther blueliner
Cornacchia. "We wart to do the
best for our (Ontario) tears, help
out as much as possible. do our
pan and do the best when we're
out there.
"For myself, 1 want to go to
she next level. The next step is
the OHL and then the NHL is a
long-term goal."
Both Panther players
said if not for the
success of their current
team, they wouldn't be
reaping the benefits.
"We wouldn't be
going there if we weren't
in the rosition we're in
now with the Panthers,"
believes McCormick.
"We have to thank our
coaches (with the
Panthers and their minor
hockey coaches), the
veterans on the team and
all the players who
helped as out."
"We owe a lot to
them and the coaches on
the team," adds
Cornacchia. "And I have
to thank all the coaches
who helped me along
the way."
Commchia spent the
majority of his minor
hockey years with the
Toronto Young Nats

Blackburn said this will be a
great opportunity for both

"Anytime you can play with

Ontario Ul7 seam.
"I had gone to three camps

the process of being selected for
The team. "When you've

Pumas exit
OFSAA hunt
Looking for a bid to the
Provincial girls basketball
championships, two local
high schools fell short at
Fall Frenzy.
Lake Ontario Secondary
School Association champs
Pine Ridge lost in the semi-
finals to powerhouse
Etobicoke while St. Mary
lost two straight games to
exit the tournament.
"I was happy with the
way the girls played over
the weekend," says St.
Mary coach Pat Roach.
"Etobicoke, the number
one seed, had to play their
five starters more than they
wanted to against us and it
was a good learning
experience for the girls.
"I told the girls they
were guinea pigs for the
format to prove we can
compete, literally being the
number eight seed. We
have nothing to be
ashamed of."
Roach will have a
majority of his players
returning next season
and is confident this
tournament will only help
them.
As for Pine Ridge, coach
Pam Masales said before
the tournament she wanted
to win at least one game.
The team did that, but she
wasn't satisfied.
"I'm a little disappointed
with the way we played,"
says Masales after being
eliminated by Etobicoke
63-46. "If we had played a
little better, I would have
been happier."
Pine Ridge lost to
Markham, the number two
seed at the tournament, 55-
39 in the first round. But
the girls bounced back and
knocked off Mowat, the
number four seed, 49-41
later in the day.
To advance past a strong
Etobicoke team would
have been a major upset.
But the Pumas didn't have
the bench strength or the
quality starters to stay with
the Rants.
"Our goal was to do the
best we can." says Masales.
"But we didn't do that."

time the six and seven year-
old gids had played together
after competing against each

Ladies! Now is not the time
to give up or put your fitness
time on hold. We all know that
Christmas is a very busy time
and demands a lot of energy
and planning. It is easy to get
sidetracked with the holiday
festivities and to let your fit-
dess routine fall by the way-
side. Try not to let this happen.
Continue to devote time to
working out. Staying with
your fitness program will pre-
vent you from over -indulging
on snacks or drinks. You will
also maintain your high energy
level and motivation which
will help through the stressful
days. If time becomes a major
factor, then shorten your work-
outs, move at a faster pace and
take less rest between sets.
Engage in outdoor activities
like skating and cross-country
skiing — make it a fun family
event.
Try to stick to your healthy
diet plan. It is easy to slide
from your regular diet at
Christmas. The constant temp-
tations of treats are never end -

Ladies! Now is not the time
to give up or put your fitness
time on hold. We all know that
Christmas is a very busy time
and demands a lot of energy
and planning. It is easy to get
sidetracked with the holiday
festivities and to let your fit-
dess routine fall by the way-
side. Try not to let this happen.
Continue to devote time to
working out. Staying with
your fitness program will pre-
vent you from over -indulging
on snacks or drinks. You will
also maintain your high energy
level and motivation which
will help through the stressful
days. If time becomes a major
factor, then shorten your work-
outs, move at a faster pace and
take less rest between sets.
Engage in outdoor activities
like skating and cross-country
skiing — make it a fun family
event.
Try to stick to your healthy
diet plan. It is easy to slide
from your regular diet at
Christmas. The constant temp-
tations of treats are never end -

ing, and yes, you will try this or
sample that, but keep your
willpower strong! Drink even
more water during the holi-
days. Keep a glass of water in
your hands as much as possible
and keep taking sips.
Increasing your water intake
will curb your appetite or the
tendancy to indulge.
Stay fit and happy this
Christmas.
Remember. Your power,
your health.
