Despite assurances that

.Editorial Opinion
Vindication for
Pickering Treasurer
must be sweet
Two more examples of financial mismanagement
within the Town of Pickering were uncovered this week
thanks in pan to our paper's roving news reporter. It is
now confirmed that the Town of Pickering, which
collects and disperses our tax dollars, has once again
paid the identical invoice twice to a supplier. The last
time this occurred it involved a double payment of
nearly $500,000 to Novacor. This contractor had been
awarded a road project and were paid twice. According
to councillor Maurice Brenner, despite legal action it is
looking less and less likely the total monies overpaid
will ever be recovered.
Despite the Mayor's assurance that all was corrected
they have done the same darn thing again, only with a
different supplier.
It also turns out, based upon a report from Treasury,
that there are additional expendinlres for changes to the
infamous "Claredome" community building, in excess of
$100,000. An embarrassed councillor claims the changes
were never approved by council but were authorized for
payment by a committee that Mayor Wayne Arthur sits
On.
These are sizeable amounts of tax dollars that have
been spent in an unacceptable fashion with little or no
regard for appropriate business practices. Arthurs has
another problem in explaining this sheer incompetence -
- he is running the show. When the Novacor item first
surfaced he chose to blame staff for the error and in
particular town treasurer Jim Walls. The treasmcr, ars an
independent auditor confirmed, was wrongly suspended
for nearly a month. The report vindicating him was
never publicly released. The t easum is still off work,
based upon both medial and, we presume, legal advice,
with no pry apology issued.
Now think how he mast feel learning thesaitae double
payment mistake that he was unjustly blamed for has
occutred again, while he has been on "sick" leave. This
is vinsiication indeed far a mean tient served the tmm so
well for surly 30 years.

that position is still vacant) is the one acc uu" for

Letters to the Editor
Tax hikes can be avoided
To the Editor,
Re: Editorial opinion in the April 9 edition, "Taxes to rise —
politicians to blame"
Right on! Couldn't have agreed with your editorial opinion any
more, even if I had written it myself.
What seems to be last through all of these budget deliberations is the
fact that this is not an "either/or" proposition. This is not a one
dimensional issue involving a tax increase to sustain levels of policing,
vs. no tax increase and resultant decreased levels of policing. What
every happened to looking at the weal overall regional budget and
prix itibng all coeds within the larger context? As a result of going
throngh an ere se Wee Ibis, if a determination is made that policing is
at the top in -eructs of overall psiotioKs, them so be it. But that doesn't
necessarily mean that you invoke a to increase as the only means of
woommodatiag that need. If the realization of the identified priority is
that important, them oro be it. But that doesn't necessarily mean fiat you
invoke a tax increase as the ody mean of accommodating that need. If
the realization of the identified priority is that important, then you
should look for savings within other areas of your total overall regional
budget to accommodate any increased costs associated with the
identified priority. Sadly, in the real world however, for reasons

It is upsetting to know that youth in this town are trying to do

their efforts. If a youth stole something in a convenience store, it would
be front page news, especially black youth.

Whitby -9s Golden Flash soars to Atlanta
by Steve Tbit
Whitby native O.J.
Santiago is headed to the
Atlanta Falcons of the
National Football League.
Selected in the third
round — 70th overall —
Santiago was the first
Canadian -born player
drafted.
"I was excited when I
found out I was going to
Atlanta," says the 6 -foot -7
267 -pound tight end out of
Kent State University.
"With coach (Dan) Reeves
there, he's thrown out the
run -and -shoot offense and
gone with an offense that
needs a couple of tight
ends. It's a pretty good sit-
O.J. Santiago selected in NFL college draft
uation for the and the
opportunity is there to
come in and play."
Versatile, Santiago
believes he can contribute
in all aspects of offense. A
little more fleet -a -foot than
most at his position,
Santiago caught 26 passes
for 339 yards and collected
two touchdowns in his
final season with Kent.
Aside from being select-
ed by the Falcons,
Santiago was also drafted
by the Edmonton Eskimos
in the Canadian Football
League college draft in the
fifth round.
Excited about having
attained another goal, the
Whitby native plans on
taking his NFL career one
step at a tune.
"I try to set
short term
goals, " says
Santiago. "I
just want to was the first

there to show
people what I — 0-1 sant-10
can do and see
what happens.'.
At the NFL combine
camp to showcase the
upcoming talent into the
draft, Santiago ran a 4.7 -
second 40 yards, bench -
pressed 225
pounds 22
times, had a
38.5 inch ver-
tical jump and
did a 10 -foot,
five - inch
broad jump.
After being
injured at the
end of last
season, caus-
ing him to
miss three
games due to
a bruised foot, Santiago
needed to prove to himself
and medical staffs he had
fully recovered.

They are the motorcycle
club with an identity crisis.
Based out of Ajax, racing
out of Pickering, and called
the Oshawa Competition
Motorcycle Club, it's easy
to see there can be some
confusion about the identity
of tate club.
. Founded in 1966, OCMC
publicity director Tom
Guitard said because of
Oshawa's size in the mid
60's, it was easy to name
the club after the city.
Guitard points out that only
app wirnataly 10 pement of
the current club members
hail from the Motor City.
Members now come from
Oshawa to Part Hope and
west to Mississauga and

"It was tested at the
combines and is 100 per
cent," proclaims Santiago.
A former Denis
O'Connor and Anderson
Collegiate student,
Santiago took his skills to
St. Michael's College
before heading to the
Golden Flashes of Kent
State. He spent one year
playing with the Oshawa
Hawkeyes at the age of 16
in the bantam division, the
time in his career when
everything changed for
him.
"Gord Carey (a long-
time member and former
coach with the Hawkeyes)
was a big influence," says
Santiago. "He was the fust
person to tell me I could
play in the NFL one day.
When you are told that by
someone who knows a lot
about football, it gives you
hope. It definitely gave me
some direction."
But it wasn't until he
actually travelled south of
the border when he real-
ized an NFL career may be
looming in the future.
"As soon as I got to col-
lege I was thinking about
it," admits Santiago of an
NFL career. 'I wasn't
walking around school
advertising it, but it was
something I was working
towards. This just allows
me to end my college
career on a high note
because we struggled this
year."
Graduating with an
Accounting degree, a 3.0
grade average, and a first -
team all -academic for three
consecutive years, being
selected in the NFL draft
capped off a year to
remember.
Family skate a
howling success
The Whitby Girls' Hockey
Association had a great
turnout for their promotional
launch to the 1997/98
inaugural season.
Approximately 250 people
attended the family skate
held recently at Iroquois Pads
Arena.
The girls enjoyed two
hours of skating with their
families, then donned their
equipment for the fun skills
competitions. Forty seven
girls, many new to the spat
of hockey, skated on to the
ice to participate in relay
races, shooting at goal
targets, skating obstacle
courses, and more. All age
groups were well
represented, including the
Bantam and Midgets (age
1417)
The brand new Whitby
Wolves logo, designed by
Michael Sorichetti, made its
big debut and was a heal hit.
The logo is the focus of the
associations 1997-98
fundraising efforts and is
available on sweatshirts, T.
shirts, bandannas, and pins.
For more information on
fundraising activities call
Bane Sorichetti at 668-0105.
The registration desk was
kept extremely busy with
over 100 girls signing up.
Registration forms will
continue to be available
throughout the spring and

Lacrosse season is just
around the comer.
With the opening of the
regular season less than
three weeks away, the
Brooklin Redmen have
opened camp at their old
stomping grounds at Luther
Vipond Arena in Brooklin.
Brooklin will kick-off the
season at Iroquois Park
Arena on Friday, May 16
against the Peterborough
Lakers. But the fust order of
business for returning head
coach Peter Vipond is
whipping the team into
shape before taking a run at
lacrosse's holy grail: the
Mann Cup. Vipond will be
assisted by Kevin Van
Sickle, who briefly assisted
behind the bench last season.
With the continued youth
movement for the `97
season, Van Sickle's role
will be to work closely with
the younger players to
prepare them for the Major
Series game.
John Fusco continues to
defy retirement plans —
he'll return for his 14th
season with the Redmen.

Rack and pinion —
It's not an Olympic wrestling move
Most cars today use rack and
pinion steering because it's
light and gives precise steering
control with good road feel.
More and more cars also use
power assist to make steering
easier, which can lead to some
bad habits.
Without power assist, drivers
learned that it is easier to turn
the wheels while the car is
moving, even if slowly. So
that's what they did, even when
wriggling into a small parking
slot. With power, it's easy to
tum the wheels while the car is
motionless. But all the stress
that you would have taken on
yourself is now shouldered by
the power steering assembly.
That stress can lead to

breakdowns.
There are two things to keep
an eye on fluid and boots.
Power steering fluid, the
lifeblood of the steering system,
takes the brunt of the pressure
of everyday driving. When it
works, it heats up. And when it
heats up, it can break down.
Your power steering fluid
should be a pale amber colour,
with a slight tinge of green. it
should also be clear. If it looks
dark, it may be contaminated or
it may have taken too much
heat (the darkness comes from
carbon). That means you need
to get your system checked, and
-have it flushed out and new
-candnued on nape 11
-from page 10
fluid installed.
Thereare rubber boots at
each end of the steering
assembly. Their purpose is to
keep road dirt, salt, and water
out of the steering assembly,
and grease or permanent
lubricants in. They do wear
out, crack, and tear, so they
should be checked every time
your car is up on a hoist. If
your boots need changing,
don't delay.
A popular feature with some
cars is speed
sensitive
steering. The
power assist
is coupled
with the
speedometer,
so you get
more power
at low speeds,
and less at
high speeds.
This means
it's relatively
easy to park
the car, while
at highway
speeds you
get a tight,
precise
steering feel
for lane
changes and
cornering.
This makes
your power
steering fluid
work that
much harder,
so flushing
the system
and putting in
new fluid
once a year is
really
important.

Q. Have you had your air
conditioner topped up this
year?
A. If your air conditioner
needs 'TOPPING UP' (to
be charged with refrigerant)
1T MUST HAVE A LEAK.
Air conditioners, coolers and
fridges should never have to
be recharged or 'TOPPED
UP'. The only reason it
would be necessary to do so
is because your appliance has
developed a kale.
According to provincial
Legislation, effective Mrch
1994, it is illegal to add
refrigerant to a system
without first testing for and
repairing leaks.
If a contractor has
'TOPPED UP'your air
conditioner and did not
perform the proper leak
tests, they have broken the
law.
Service people, home
owners and businesses will
all be liable. The fiines are
stiff, so be aware and have
your appliance serviced
properly.
wheel)
Where there's power, there's
hydraulic pressure. And where
there's pressure, there's a
pump. The power steering
pump is driven by a belt
connected to the engine. It may
have its own belt, or it may be
one of the accessories running
off a long serpentine belt.
If the belt slips, or breaks,
there goes your power assist for
the steering. You can still steer
the car, but you no longer have
help from the engine.

Historical society
formed
Pickering Township has a rich
history. Now there's an
organization that will ensure that
history won't be forgotten.
The Pickering Township
Historical Society was born after
an information mating March 25,
called by local historians Tom
Mohr and John Sabean. About 35
people attended.
At the meeting Mohr and
Sabean explained their interest in
inaugurating an historical society
and expressed their visions for the
proposed organization. Other
participants then had an
opportunity to declare their own
concerns and suggestions for the
founding of the association.
Before the meeting's end it was
evident the interest was there. and
a steering committee was
appointed to get the ball rolling.
The committee of seven — the
two organizers, plus Anne Bridge,
Michael Cummins, Jerry Paris,
Tony Poirier, and Laurie Towata-
Roy — met early in April and
prepared a program for the
inaugural meeting, which will be
held Wednesday, May 7 at 7:30
p.m., in the meeting room
(downstairs) of The Old
Liverpool House, 1294 Kingston
Road (Hwy. 2 and Liverpool
Road).
The main speaker for the
evening will be Dorothy Duncan,
Executive Director of the Ontario
Historical Society. Sabcan will
also present a short capsulized
history of the Township.
A shat business session will
also be held to elect officers to
serve the society for the next two
years.
The Pickering Township
Historical Society welcomes
everyone who has an interest in
local heritage.
For more information Mohr
(839-1221) or Sabean (831-3811).
