Primrose sold
for $250,000
by Glenn Hendry
Jim McKean, the former
owner of the bankrupt Pon
Pickering Marina. has sold the
Primrose dredge for a price that
f sources peg at $250,000.
Dubbed a "hulking eyesore"
by one Pickering councillor
last spring, the dredge was
towed out of Frenchman's Bay
last summer, ending years of
fighting between McKean and
Front Road residents.
Originally listed as part of
the trustee holdings in the
bankrupt marina, the Primrose
was awarded back to McKean
amid much controversy just
before its removal from the
ba}.
At the time. McKean had
received just one offer, a bid of
$46.500 - scrap value - from
cruise ship owner Mac
Makarchuk.
Last week, however,
Makarchuk (through his
Jacktot Express company)
upped his offer to $250,000 to
close the dell.
Makarchuk wouldn't con-
firm the sale price, although he
admitted it was "largely differ-
ent" from his original bid.
Makarchuk said the dredge
will eventually become a
hydro -foil depot for casino
players headed to the floating
casino in the Detroit River.
The craft will need extensive
renovation work - perhaps as
much as $500.000 worth -
before it is seaworthy.
Makarchuk added.
He expects the Primrose to
be operational next spring.
McKean was not available
for comment.

tions with former owner Jim
McKean and trustee Price
Waterhouse began last spring -
hit more snags Monday night
when several residents, as well
as Senis, complained about the
price of the 2.9 acre waterfront
site, now slated to become a
waterfront park.
The town agreed in June to
pay $900,000 for the land and
convinced the MTRCA to chip
in $250,000 for a 20 per cent
share. But Senis claims
Pickering could have bought
the proper for $900,000 - with
no strings attached - and then
sold a share to the MTRCA,
saving taxpayers a quarter -mil-
lion dollars.
"It's a blatant misuse of tax-
payer dollars." Senis told coun-
cil. As a taxpayer I'm disgust-
ed."
The deal could get even
worse. Senis pointed out. The
town is only obligated to pay
$900,000 - with or without
MTRCA money - but the tim-
ing of the sale may leave local
taxpayers on the hook for an
another $250,000.
That is unlikely, she admit-
ted, but it does remain possible
if the conservation authority
were to back out of the deal
after the town has already front-
ed the full $1.15 million to the
trustee.
Barry Farquharson, a Front
Road resident who has watched
the deal unfold, also believes
the town has made a bad deal.
'There's no reason to do it
this way," he said. 'The way the
deal is written the town could
be on the hook for the whole
$1.15 million if the money
doesn't come from the
MTRCA."
Pickering Mayor Wayne
Arthurs defended the deal, say -
deal?
ing the town had a "moral and
legal obligation" to achieve the
best deal possible for the
trustee.
"it would be unconscionable
and potentially illegal to abort
this deal to make a back -door
deal with the MTRCA." he
said.
The authority has already
granted conditional approval
for its share, and will be hold-
ing a public meeting on the
issue Friday in Pickering's
council chambers. The Ministry
of Natural Resources, however,
has not yet given the deal its
blessing. Without the ministry's
okay, the MTRCA deal is dead.
Rob Messervey, the min-
istry's manager for conservation
authorities, said he will be
briefing senior staff on the deal
today and promises an answer
by the end of the week.
Another wrinkle in the deal
is James Priest, who owns a
thin strip of land that bisects the
manna property. It is unlikely a
viable waterfront park can be
designed without his land and
Priest told council Monday
night he isn't selling.
Priest also took a few shots at
council over the terms of the
deal.
"We're offended by this
excessive use of taxpayer dol-
lars that is essentially being
used to bail out a bankrupt busi-
ness owner," he said.
Regional councillor Doug
Dickerson said last June that
the town will expropriate Priest,
if necessary, to develop the
park.
Theoriginal land sale -
between the town and the
trustee - is scheduled to close
December 20. The deal
between Pickering and the
MTRCA will close January 31.

Pickering begins courtship for marriage with Ajax
by Glenn Hendry
Love is grand - especially
when you can save a few. That
may soon be the mantra in
Pickering and Ajax as the two
towns prepare for the
inevitable plunge into the mar-
riage of amalgamation.
The love affair is already
heating up, although it will be
economics - not passion - that
will send the two almost -will-
ing partners to the altar of holy
amalgamation.
How much can be saved by
pooling dowries is not clear,
but estimates range from $5
million to $15 million per year.
The boy/girl next door never
looked so good.
David Crombie's Who Does
What panel has recommended
major structural changes to
GTA communities, including
the merger of the six Metro
governments into one city
(which could save taxpayers as
much as $200 million), or the
creation of one huge GTA gov-
ernment. Either scenario - the
former is favored by provincial
municipal affairs minister Al
Leach - would mean the end to
meal govemment as we know
it and local leaders have react-
ed by funding favor in an idea
dismissed as big city folly only
months ago.
While the two municipali-
ties have spent a quarter-centu-
ry playing hard -to -get, the
threat of art arranged marriage
has politicians and community
leaders scrambling to find
some common ground for a
marriage of their own making.
Local businessman and for-
mer Pickering councillor Kip
Van Kempen, however, has
been championing the union
plan for years. He believes
"substantial savings" can be
achieved through amalgama-
tion.
"When we can share hospi-
tals, phone directories and
United Way fundraising cam-
paigns. there is no reason a sin-
gle administration couldn't
handle a combined population
of 120,0(X)." he says.
Arranging the marriage on
their own terms - with a pre-
nuptial agreement in place - is
also the thinking of Pickering
councillor Maurice Brenner,
who has been quick to support
the idea.
Brenner, who tabled a
motion recently asking council
to take a hard look at sharing a
joint chief administrative offi-
cer (a vacant post at both
towns) and other senior staff
positions, says "everything
would be on the table" right
now.
"Do we need two CAO's ?
Do we need two of every
department? We have to look
at duplication and overlap," he
says. "The time for building
separate regimes is gone.
Money is money that can be
saved for the taxpayer in Ajax
and Pickering. And you get
better service."
Brenner was joined by fel-
low councillor Sherry Senis,
who says residents would be
"well served" by cutting the
number of councillors and
department heads by half.
Even Mayor Wayne Arthurs,
who has not supported the
merger concept in the past,
now believes the Pickering -
Ajax marriage would work.
The possibility does exist
for huge savings from a merg-
er:

and more than $1.6 million for
two planning departments.
It is estimated savings in
those departments could be
nearly 50 per cent.
In big ticket departments
such as fire protection (a com-
bined $10 million), the savings
would certainly be less, but
administrative savings, the
elimination of service duplica-
tion and better efficiencies
could still have a large impact
on the budget.
Other big savings could be
found in legal services, pur-
chasing and information sys-
tems, to name just a few.
With 1996 departmental
expenditures in Ajax and
Pickering nearly $70 million, a
20 per cent saving through
amalgamation (with the
expected golden handshakes
for displaced executives fac-
tored in) wouldn't be out of the
question.
Those kind of savings are
enough to interest Ajax council
members, like Mayor Steve
Parish and regional councillor
Roger Anderson, but they have
been more cautious in their
comments. Both agree more

Editorial Opinion
.............I......................
Whitby Free Press
will be missed
;t was with profound regret that we learned of the
closing of The Whitby Free Press — a newspaper that
enjoyed such high regard within its community that it
commanded the kind of readership loyalty most
papers can only dream of.
If the Free Press could go down, can any newspaper
afford to feel smug or secure' Such a loss to the
community can never be measured in mere dollars
alone: it is the silencing of "voice", of alternative
vision, chat most sorely will be missed.
We cannot help but be reminded that it was the
death of a similar community "institution" — the old
Bay News — that prompted the birth, a little over a
year ago, of The Original Bay News, when it was
realized that, overnight, a very important voice in the
community had gone.
As we said in our initial editorial, on September 6,
1995: "With so many businesses folding around us,
it's not always easy to recognize the importance of
some deaths over others, but we believe that nothing
quite equals the loss of "voice" — the freedom of
thought and opinion that only a community newspaper
can provide.
When you think about it, our newspapers —
whether we agree with their differing editorial policies
or not — are probably the only lasting platforms for
public voice. Where else can we air our differences,
make knnwn our protests, proclaim our public and
private victories and defeats, and leave them all (for
better or worse) recorded as a permanent pan of our
history?
Whenever a newspaper dies, an incredible number
of jobs can be affected. Few people realize just how
many workers it takes just to create and deliver one
community newspaper.
Freedom of speech and the ability to seek out
alternatives are rights which we, as Canadians, should
never take for granted. Our writers — those voices
which often speak for those who can't — should never
be silenced
We believe that people in the communites we serve`
deserve to hear more than one side of any story. Local
business must have choice in where to advertise;
readers need a plaftorm from which to "sound off'
now and then. If we are to function, as a nation or as a
community, our communications network must
remain functional — alive and well and competitive.
The loss of any Canadian publication — especially
a community newspaper — should never be taken
lightly."
Knowing as we do, the amount of cane and attention
— not to mention the hard woe and team effort • that
goes into producing a weekly community newspaper,
we can only congratulate the management and staff of
the Whitby Free Press on a job well done. You will
indeed be missed. _..

Please don't paint us all with the
same brush
To the Editor,
If a neighbour picks up a gun to rob a store,
shooting someone, is the whole neighbourhood now a
group of thieves and murderers?
If your neighbour is charged with drug trafficking,
are you and the rest of the neighbourhood a bunch of
dope dealers?
The problem is one neighbour with a problem, that
has to be dealt with.
,So why when alcohol and drug items are found at
Pickering Station, are all the employees being labelled
as a bunch of drunken dope heads, who don't know
what they are doing, instead of a few employees with
a problem, which need to be dealt with?
It is through the proficiency of employees that all
problems are reported and not hidden and covered up.
The most important people to me in this world live
in this area, my family and friends.I do not feel they
are in any danger.
Yes Pickering has problems, and they have got to be
fixed. Fast and very safely.

Will initiatives include all child care?
To the Editor:
Janet Ecker. Ontario's Minister of Community and Social
Services, is preparing some new initiatives related to child
care in Ontario.
It is hoped that her initiatives will be inclusive of ALL
child care choices, including direct parental cane. Up until
now, governments at both the federal and provincial levels
have set funding and tax policies that penalized those
families who choose to have a parent at home raising young
children. They have also rewarded certain child cane choices
with tax breaks and subsidies.
It is only fair that all choices be treated equally and all
children should benefit from the $775 million spent
annually on child care in this province, not just the 10%
cared for in licensed, regulated settings.

tax cut of 30% or more.
For many with modest
incomes, it will be even
larger.
But as premier Mike
Harris stated in the
legislature on Wednesday
December 4, it is not
enough to cut taxes to
create jobs. A solution
must be found to the
problems that led to high
taxes in the first place.
Cutting government
spending is not enough;
restructuring government is
necessary to prevent high
government spending in the
future.
That's why Premier
Harris announced a special
winter session of the
Ontario Legislature which
will begin on January 13
and run through March.
Ring in the
New Year
family -style
by David Bojarzin
Looking for a family -
friendly way to celebrate
New Year's Eve? Concerned
about getting the lids to bed
at a reasonable time? Ajax's
Parks and Rec department
has an eleventh hour
solution.
The town will be hosting
family New Year's Eve
parties at both the McLean
and Ajax community centres
on December 31, from 6-9
p.m.
The festivities will
include public skating,
sleigh rides, face painting, a
pre-school play room and a
9 p.m. countdown to
accommodate the needs of
the younger meaymakers in
attendance.
Admission is $2.50 for
adults and $1.50 for
cht'idmil. Noise -makers will
beprovided.
This will be a special "Who
Does What" session which
will finalize changes to
municipal governments and
school boards in order to
end waste, overlap and
duplication of services.
The session will help
ensure that Ontario turns
the corner towards jobs,
prosperity, opportunity and
renewed hope for both
ourselves and our children's
futures.
All this is increasing
consumer confidence.
Ontario retail sales continue
to rise, housing starts and
Ontario's international
exports continue to
increase.
For the people of
Ontario, this means more
jobs. Since we were
elected in June 1995.
►n•
127,000 net, new jobs have
been created in this
province. That's nearly
60% of all new jobs in
Canada. We are confident
that our plan will continue
to create 200,000 to
300,000 net jobs over the
next two years.
This is giving Ontario's
youth a reason to be
optimistic too. Young
people are beginning to
benefit from the improved
fiscal and economic
climate. In October, 10,000
more young people had
jobs in Ontario than a year
before, while there were
actually 63,000 fewer jobs
for youth in the rest of
Canada during the same
period.
By cutting taxes,
reducing red tape and
m&ws - uecernoer ► i, i yyo
government barriers to jobs
and restoring balance to
labour relations, our
government has established
the key ingredients to
attract investment and jobs
to Ontario. We are doing
everything we can to create
a vibrant job -producing
economy.
With such strong
economic policies in place,
Ontario is in a good
position to outperform the
rest of Canada and most G-
7 nations over the rest of
the decade. The stronger
our economy, the more we
can do to maintain those
important social programs
that add to our quality of
life. This makes Ontario
the best place anywhere in
which to live. work r

F.une. George Ludgate.
On April 10, 1997, all 24
inductees will be formally
inducted into the Hall.
-We call it the Legends Hall
of Fame because those going in
are legends.' says Ontario
Sport Legends Hall of Fame
Chairman Bruce Prentice.
"And well ensure those going
n shall be called legends."
One legend who was induct
ed last year. Russ Jackson, was
on hand to unveil the prototype
stanchion of himself.
"1 think it's going to be a
great idea to have the pedestals
for everyone to see and it's a
great new concept for the
Hall," says Jackson. "Other
provinces have already estab-
lished Hall of Fames and it's
great that we finally have one."
Along with the Walk of
Fame, a hard -made "Golden
Album" will act as the reposi-
tory of all the names of the leg-
ends inducted. The album will
act as a permanent record of
those inducted and will he on

the centrepiece of memorabilia

feel it will be a distinct tourist
attraction.
