Prime Minister Jean
C'hretien's worst -kept secret
is out: there will be a federal
election June 2.
Voters in Pickering. Ajax
and Whitby will be choosing
two candidates this time
around, following the split of
Liberal MP Dan McTeague's
Ontario Riding into two.
McTeague will carry the
Liberal banners in the new
Pic kering/Ajax/Ux bridge
riding against Leanne Lewis
(PC), Ken Griffith (Reform)
and Doug Grey (NDP).

takes in most of urban Ajax,
Judi Longfield will run for
the Liberals against Frank
Snyder (PC), Bill
Serjeantson (Reform) and

claiming he held a law

local Return Party candidate
Ken Griffith are calling for
McTea,ue to resign.
But McTeague, who
offered an apology to his con-
stituents for the mistake, says
his situation is different. The
error has already been cor-
rected and unlike Bhaduria.
McTcague does not claim to
be "something other than who
and what I am."
"This was an honest mis-
take and nothing more."
The issue was certainly not

McTeague's campaign. The
MP had been given a couple

Rotary kicks off campaign for
community information sign
The Rotary Club of Pickering
has started a fundraising cam-
paign for a 15 -foot information
sign - with charities and other
service clubs the long-term bene-
ficiaries - on Kingston Road.
Club members, through short-
term advertising on the sign, are
trying to raise $30,000 in the
campaign. The Town of
Pickering has agreed to pay
expenses above $30,000, with a
maximum committment of
$14,570.
The sign, which will be locat-
ed on the north side of Highway
2, between Liverpool Road and
Glenanna, is expected to be in
place by June 26, in time for the
Canada Day weekend.
Businesses who purchase adver-
using time on the sign during the
campaign will get from one
month to three months of expo-
sure before the sign is turned
over to non-commercial use early
next year.
The town will pay the up -front
casts - Danco Signs' winning ten-
der was $43,709 - with the club
repaying the municipality over a
three to five year period.
. "I trust the Rotary Club,"
noted Regional Councillor
Maurice Brenner at the April 7
Town Council meeting. "Their
commitment can be taken to the
bank."

ing the campaign, phone Rotary

Welfare downloading
back on the table
By Glenn Hendry
Premier Mike Harris'
Provincial Government has
Flipped -flopped on their previ-
ous flip-flop over the off-load-
ing of welfare costs to munici-
palities, a move that Whitby
Mayor Tom Edwards promises
.will come hack to haunt
them."
The Province's plan to down-
load welfare costs to munici-
palities was deemed "unaccept-
able" by local councillors
months ago and lobbying by
the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario
(AMO) persuaded Queen's
Park to have a change of heart.
Municipal Affairs Minister
Al beach promised AMO) Inst
month that his government
would consider trading off
some educational costs so prop-
erty taxpayers wouldn't have to
shoulder the often unstable
price of welfare.
The plan died on the table
last week because of the poten-
tial for "constitutional prob-
lems" because of the equal
treatment protection for Roman
Catholic schools.
The original proposal - for
municipalities to take on half of
the welfare costs 1 from 20 per
cent) - is now back on the table,
a situation that has Edwards
(who also serves as Durham's
axial services chairman) upset.
"If there's a problem, then
why doesn't the Province try to
work out another package that
won't involve a court chal-
lenge'' he asks-"Thev've got to
avoid the 5(J50 split. That's tet)

welfare."
The government's imposed
deadline for a brokered solution
is Mav 9, so Edwards is aware
time is running out. He is
guardedly optimistic, however.
noting that AMO) and Leach are
still talkino.
Edwards admits welfare rolls
have been dropping (seven per
cent in'95. 12 per cent last year
and a projected seven per cent
drop this year), but warns that
welfare costs are unpredictable.
From February. 1989, to
February. 1991, he says. wel-
fare costs skyrocketed 104 per
cent.
"This will come back to
haunt them if the economy
takes a downturn."

to close the Pickering police

Pickering and Ajax stations
were merged in early April.

He cautions that residents

Politicians make
the news
We simply report it!
It's rare that we see the owners of this paper so
steamed as they were this past week, but thea again,
no one likes to be accused of lying, which in essence
is what Pickering councillor Sherry Senis did to us in
the council chambers last week.
The councillor, in order to refute the facts
coneeming a very large real estate transacdoo which
was negotiated while she was on council, claimed the
story was politically motivated and quoted her
inaccurately. Well, the challenge to debate the issue
with one of our owners will clear the air once and for
all concerning the integrity issue. Nle thinks, she
doth protest too much, but one thing is certain; either
our paper or Semis will be eating crow
The councillor had better come to grips with the
reality of holding public office. Every decision that is
made, every vote taken or comment uttered, comes
under close scrtrtiay. When eIIors tie office
they are bound by legislation that deals with conflicts
of interest. The act is quite extensive but makes it
clear that wherever there is a direct or indirect
pecuniary interest in an item a declaration mean be
stated immediately. The conflict reties also apply to
members of a politician's firmly.
The firm, for which the councillor was the O"DI
received a real estate commission estimated at
$150,000 for the sale of an acreagb of land to be used
for recycling waste vada n the boundaries of the very
ward she was elected to represent. That is news
worthy of reporting. It is not our place to pass
judgement on the councillor's compliance with the
law but it is a story that most be told. If the

Challenge!
Durham Sun publisher dares Senis to debate
By Kip Van Kempen
Publisher
I take strong exception to
recent comments made by
Pickering councillor Sherry
Senis, directed at our newspa-
per.
I think it's time for the
councillor to put up or shut up
in a public debate.
At a recent council meeting
Senis said that a story which
ran in this paper about her
and her husband's involve-
ment in the sale of lands on
Squires Beach Road to a
recycling firm was inaccurate
and that we misquoted her.
There can only be two pos-
sibilities: either our newspa-
per or Senis is being less than
truthful about the facts sur-
rounding this multi-million
dollar deal.
I have reviewed our
reporter's notes; they accu-
rately record Senis' responses
to our questions and are also
available for her to view.
I am fed up with politicians
crying inaccuracy in news
stories when the story is not
to their liking. Taxpayers are
indeed fortunate weekly
council meetings are covered
by two good local newspa-
pers but just because a politi-
cian doesn't approve doesn't
make a story inaccurate.
I challenge councillor
Senis to debate the "facts" of
this matter with nae on local
Cable TV, with an indepen-
dent moderator selected by
the cable company. This will
allow Senis to answer ques-
tions in her own words and let
everyone know all the facts
concerning her declaration of
interest on this issue. If she
has nothing to hide she
should have no difficulty
accepting this challenge. This
will provide a forum that will
clear up the issue of truth and
integrity.
This challenge is not politi-
cally motivated as I have no
interest in councillor Senis'
seat on council. If she refuses,
however, residents will have
to make up their own minds.
In my view, her silence will
speak volumes.
"Sherman Forest" for Senis
has Dickerson steamed
Pickering councillor
Sherry Senis - just hours after
announcing her candidacy for
Mayor - came under fine from
a colleague April 21 over
nearly $2,000 worth of trees
planted behind her home at
taxpayers' expense.
The trees were planted the
previous week in Lynn
Heights Park, in the spot left
behind when the historic
Campbell/MacPherson
House was removed last year.
The problem, claimed
Dickerson, is that the grove
of 10 trees (which act as a
privacy barrier for Senis'
backyard) was only placed
behind the local councillors'
Sherman Crescent home - not
behind any of her neighbors.
"There's something very
wrong hue," Dickerson said,
pointing out the vaunt land
created when the
Campbell/MacPherson
House was removed "was
supposed to be netumed to

the people."
Pickering Recreation
Director Everett Buntsma
said the trees were planted to
restore a "disturbed area" but

Dickerson said Buntsma's
explanation "doesn't wash."
Senis, meanwhile, said she
had "nothing to do" with the
tree planting.

Dickerson countered by
saying he will canvass her
neighbors to drum up support
for the removal of the trees
from "Sherman Forest."

Region- rotes to keep tax4ree perks
By Glenn Hendry
Municipal politicians are not

on proposed Provincial
changes to the Municipal Act
are any indication.
The Province's intention to
eliminate municipal council-

allowance was shot down by an
overwhelming 21-4 vote, with
Oshawa councillors Brian
Nicholson, John Gray and
Robert Lutcyk joined by
Pickering's Doug Dickerson
alone in the provincial govem-
ment's corner.
Nicholson said Queen's Park
is right in moving to eliminate
the tax-free allowance, calling
the perk "archaic" and unfair.
"It is taken as a perk, people
see it as a perk and - let's be
realistic - it is a perk" he said.
"We should be taxed the same
as every other citizen: there
shouldn't be special rules for
politicians."
Ajax Mayor Steve Parish
disagreed, however, calling
Nicholson's comments "shal-
low" and "narrow," adding that
the proposal means a salary cut
for municipal councillors.
'It's very easy to say it's a
perk and those awful politi-
cians shouldn't get it," he said.
"But if if I have to cut counci-
lor's salaries by 10 to 20 per
cent, then I will want to find a
way to reimburse them."
Parish said he would support
increasing the tax levy to com-
pensate councillors.
Whitby councillor Marcel
Brunelle called the province's
decision "downloading" onto
the municipalities.
Local councillors earn
between $15.000 and $17,000
per year, with an extra $21,000
paid to regional councillors.
Municipal mayors earn approx-
imately $40,000, in addition to
the $21,000 regional stipend.
One third of that money is now
tax-free.
Big bucks for
regional computers
Whitby councillor Marcel
Brunelle wants Durham
Region to hold off on pur-
chasing a new $2.7 million
computer system until local
municipalities can get in on
the action, despite being told
that consultation had already
taken plaVe.
Brunelle said local munici-
palites and the Region should
be using compatible software
"so we can all be on the same
page."

Partnerships
in chemical education
A central role for Durham College
Durham College has a long-standing
tradition of training students in applied
chemistry. As a College serving a broad
area, largely unserviced by other post-
secondary institutions, enrollment has
almost doubled over the past decade.
Durham College offers two
programs in Applied sciences — Food
k Drug Technology and Environmental
Technology. The combined enrollment
for these programs is about 250
students. Both programs have a
significant science content including
courses in chemistry (general chemistry,
organIc chemistry, analytical chemistry,
chromatography, spectroscopy),
biological sciences (biology,
biochemistry, microbiology) and
specialty courses in each area
(pharmacology, pharmaceutics, food
science, nutrition, QA/QC, waste
management, toxicology, environmental
engineering, etc.)
These courses are the traditional
three year college diploma programs
accessible upon graduation from high
school. Durham College has attracted
high school graduates, Mamie students,
and university students into their
programs in various numbers for several
yeas. The programs have fit the needs
of this diverse group of students and
provided them with the opportunity of
punning careers in a variety of related
fields.
However, Durham College has
actively pursued ways to expand the
scope and range of its programs by
seeking linkages with a number of
intstitutwas. These can be grouped as
follows: high school / college, college /
universities. college / industry.
The college and high school Turk is
critical to the establishment of
.Durham's program as a viable pathway
to a career and several of the faculty
have taken a leading role in developing
career presentations which have been
given at local schools. In addition, a
series of workshops were developed
which are presented at the college to
visiting student groups (from
elementary school through to high
school).
The college and university link.
There is a logical relationship between
colleges and universities. Colleges
graduate technologists, who are able
and willing to work in industry in a
number of capacities. They can work in
production, sales and marketing,
product development and in QA/QC
labs. Universities, on the other hand,
direct their graduates towards research,
management and laboratory lobs.
Colleges stress hands-on practical
training, emphasizing theoretical work
only as i. may be applied practically.
Universities emphasize a thorough
understanding of basic principals, using
laboratories as a means of
demonstrating bow the theory applies.
There are some similarities in clammom
and laboratory exercises, but the focus
is clearly different. Capitalizing on
strengths provides future students with
the benefits of both institutions.
Durham College has established
linkages with both Guelph and Trent
Universities.
The linkage with Guelph University
dim Durham's students to complete a
diploma in Food and Drug Technology
and then go on to complete a BSc in
Food Science at Guelph.
Durham has also partnered with
Trent University in the Environmental
Technology program. Trent graduates
can complete their diploma upon
graduation in one yes. Farther to this
agreement_ Trent University is offering
university level courses at Durham
leading b a BSc.
The college and industry link.

demonstrating our commitment
to the environment for 70 years
when we pioneered the first
returnable bottle," says Mr.
Bartholomew.
Today, almost 99 per cent o
bottles are recovered and reused
15 to 20 times. In addition, 83
per cent of cans are recovered as
well as some 99 per cent of
cardboard in use. Our goal is to
recover 100 per cent of our
packaging. With this kind of
phenomenal return rate, The
Bea Store stands out as one of
the best packaging recovery
programs anywhere in the
world," he adds.
"This kind of waste diversion
performance also translates into
big savings for Ontario's
environment. particularly
landfill sites. We estimate that
our return -to -vendor, deposit -
refund system diverts on average
close to 500,000 tonnes of
material. In comparison, that's
about two and a half times the
amount of consumer packaging
collected annually in all of

estimates that during its 70 year
history, it has diverted about 60
billion beer bottles from Ontario
landfill sites — enough to

For its commitment to the
environment, The Bea Store has
been awarded the right to use
Environment Canada's
prestigious EcoLogo for its
packaging management system.
The EcoLogo is awarded to
companies which exceed a
stringent set of environmental
guidelines. "At The Beer Store,
we believe that environmental
responsibility is about malting
choices that have the least
negative impact on our

says Mr. Bartholomew.
He goes on to add that The

National composting
awareness week
The Comun
Composting Council of
Canada, an organization that
was formed to serve as
technological and practical
authority on composting, is
sponsoring its their 'National
Composting Awmmess Week'
to be held April 28 - May 4. _
The benefits of composting,
both as an effective waste
reduction practice and as a
means to produce a valuable
soil amendment, are being
celebrated by municipalities
across Canada during this
week.
In Pickering, both the
Recreation Complex and the
DuPont Canada - Ajax Site
Town's Civic Centre will have
a display for residents to
obtain information. Tenants
of Durham's first multi -
resident building to compost
on-site will officially launch
their new three -bin
composting system on
Tuesday, April 29 at 6 p.m., at
Rougemount Co -Op, located
at 400 Kingston Road near
Rougemount. On May 1 at
7:30 p.m. in Pickering's
Council Chambers, the
Pickering Waste Reduction
Committee is hosting an
evening of composting
discussion for residents.
Responsible Care - Emergency Response
As a member of the Canadian Chemical Producers Association, DuPont is committed to the CCPA's
Responsible Care program and as such will ensure that its operations do not present an unacceptable
level of risk to employees, customers, the public or the environment.
One element of the Responsible Care program is a policy on 'Community Right to Know' which
recognizes the need and right of the public to know the risks associated with member company
operations in their community.
Under this banner, DuPont -Ajax has recently completed a study to quantitatively assess the effects of
what it believes would be its most severe potential impact, that is a major spill and fire in the Tank
Farm area. The Tank Farm area is comprised of 31 vessels providing bulk storage for a variety of
solvents and resins used in paint formulations. The area has a state-of-the-art spill collection and
retention dyke and a remote impoundment basin.
The model used to predict the effects of the spill and/or fire assumes the instantaneous release of the
entire tank contents and the most unfavourable meterological conditions. This model is approved by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Resuks of this study have shown that in the case of a major fire in the remote impondment basin, most
of the thermal effects of the fire (distance to which a fireball would extend, distance to possible damage
to steel structures, etc.) would be contained on DuPont property. In the event of a major spill to the
remote impoundment basin without a fire occuring, the model shows that flamnmabk solvent vapours
(due to evaporation) could potentially exist up to a distance of approxiametly 105 meters (this extends

health effects and would not impede one's ability to evacute the area if that became necessary.
DuPont has put in place many lines of dense to prevent this scenario from happening. Firstly, safety
is engineered into the design of each vessel (positive grounding, overpressure relief. level control etc.).
A preventative maintenance put►gram is in place whereby metallurgical inspections of each vessel are
carried out at a we frequency (any vessels that show unacceptable wear are replaced). Additionally,
operators ate well trained on the safe handling of chemicals and operating procedures are in place for
every task. DuPont -Ajax is currently to the process of in"lling an automatic fire protection system in
the Tank Farm area with provisions for nuumal foam application to the remote impoundment basin
(will greatly minimize evaporation in the event of a spill). Finally, process hasards reviews we
conducted regutlady to assess the safety of the operation in every detail. -
However, in the unlikely event of such a scenario occuring. Dupont -Ajax has a well trained emetgency
response team that would deal with the emergency. Also, very close ties exsit with the Ajax Fire
Depwment, who would be on site within minutes of such an event occuring. The Ajax Fire ".
Department have the authority to activate the municipal emergency response pan if reeded...13"
municipal emergency response plan outlines how impacted people would be contacted in the event of l
such an emergency and how on evacuation would proceed if that was deemed necesssary.
This study has been shared, to date, with the Ajax Fire Department, GO alt CN transit, immediate
industrial neighbours and other members of the community. If you would like more detailed s
