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). In Whitby/Ajax, which takes in most of urban Ajax, Judi Longfield will run for the Liberals against Frank Snyder (PC), Bill Serjeantson (Reform) and Karen Dolan (NDP). kicked out of caucus atter claiming he held a law degree. Both Bhaduria and 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 a bcst-case kick start to McTeague's campaign. The MP had been given a couple of high level boosts lately. with recent appearances at fundraisers by Finance Minister Paul Martin and Trades Minister Art Eggleton. 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."

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) much for the municipalities. especially with the volatility of 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." No police service after midnight, Pickering_ a dents are not editing proper police protection after mid- night, warns A1ax regional councillor Roger Anderson. Anderson, a forrner cop, wants the Police Services Board to reverse its decision to close the Pickering police station at midnight. a itxwe made just a week the Pickering and Ajax stations were merged in early April.

"If an arrest is made the officer has to drive into Oshawa and that's another police car off the nerd. That says to me, no service for Ajax and Pio'kering." He cautions that residents are not at risk "people are not vulnerable" but says the situation will only get worse this summer. pointing out that Pickering is noted as a "haven" for criminals Ilceing jobs in Scarfxrrough and other areas of the eastern GTA.

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.

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 HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO the people." Pickering Recreation Director Everett Buntsma said the trees were planted to restore a "disturbed area" but Kai Dickerson said Buntsma's explanation "doesn't wash." Senis, meanwhile, said she had "nothing to do" with the tree planting. fir";, MW Climbing aces can be dangerous mime and a real danger when power lines are new. Please stag out of aces and away from power tines. Dickerson countered by saying he will canvass her neighbors to drum up support for the removal of the trees from "Sherman Forest."

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.

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.

We have been 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 Ontario's Blue Box system."

"This system doesn't cost Ontario taxpayers a dime and it saves the municipalities the cost of additional landfills, not to mention unsightly roadside litter," explains Mr. Bartholomew. 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 communities. We also think that quality and environmental protection go hand in hand," says Mr. Bartholomew. He goes on to add that The Beer Store can't take all the credit.

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 slightly offsite to include the rail traffic corridor to the north and west). Any source of ignition within this distance would be of concern. The model also shows that significant solvent levels could Potentially exist up to distances of 650 meters (extends offsite into the surrounding residential and f commercial areas). Personal exposure to this level of solvent vapour would not have any irreversible ! 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.

"When in-line came along it was a let's see what would happen situation." says past president of the D u r ha m Dragons Jim Darl -We saw it was an up-and- coming sport. and although (registration) numbers are down this year. we've been successful." With the growth and development of in-line hockey. the Canadian Hockey Association has created a new division for in-line hockey called Canadian Hockey In - Line.

"When in-line first took off. a lot of kids were interested. In the last two years everybody wanted to try it." Now that the fad is over and the more interested players have stuck around for the love of the sport.
