The Quebec based trucking company, which employed 400 people. including 51 drivers, plus administrative staff, at its Pickering vard - declared hankruptcy last week. ending a .oven -year legacy rite with `,n)kcn promises, poor labor „lotions and an absymal ,.Itct\ record. The company, claiming tosses of $21 million. including $3.5 million in the last year filed for bankruptcy protection 'lav 6, one day atter its unionized employees went on strike. Two days later Provost officials locked their workers out and on Mai, 1.3. Provost executi\es declared bankruptcy. For Morris Shaw, the vice-president of Energy and Chemical Workers, Local 14 1. the end of the line didn't some as a surprise. The union. he says, gave I. concession after concession" to the Provost tamily, receiving little in return. Workers lost about $2 per hour when Provost bought out Bulk Carriers of Pickering in 1990 and last year unionized employees agreed to roll back another 23 per cent in wages to keep the company afloat. Even then, Shaw claims, the company reneged on its promise to remove Claude Provost from the decision- making and make a Quebec labor institution the major shareholder. The deal between the two sides was never signed. "We wanted to get the money back that was illegaly taken from us," says Shaw in explaining the union's decision to strike. "We wanted to go to arbitration but they wouldn't participate." The closing of the company also spells the end of the Provost safety record. one of the worst in the industry. Last year a paint resin spill on Hwy 401 near Weston Road in Metro toorced the closure of Canada's busiest highway for an entire day. The previous year. a similar spill closed the road near Milton. Between the two disasters. MTO inspectors declared half of the Provost fleet "unsafe." In 1996 the company turned to rental trucks because they couldn't afford to replace their own vehicles; they also turned to temporary drivers to save money• using truckers fresh out of school to haul hazardous chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, paint resins and phenol, a poison that attacks the central nervous system. "Our safety record is not good," admitted Shaw. "I1 was just plain bad. It was old equipment and the maintenance just wasn't there." Rick Colby, a former Provost driver - now collecting workers compenation after a work- related accident in October - believes Provost's already deteriorating safety record went from bad to worse after the company's decision to farm out jobs. "Our record used to be really good, blit in the last year, when they went to a driver's company, they were hiring people with no experience just to keep the company going." Colby is also upset Pro- ost wasn't more honest aix>'ut its financial position. "They've cried wolf so many times I just figured they were doing it again," he says of the declaration of bankruptcy. "I think if (the bleak economic outlook) was true and accurate. they'd have closed the doors last year so the drivers could have had a fair compensation package." Sheldon Lowe, an Ajax trucker (who has been in the purchasing department after a work accident of his own last year), is suspicious Provost's problems are as had as they claim. "1 think there's more than meets the eye here. I believe the closure is just a ploy to break the union," he says. "You just can't believe anything they say." Given an opportunity to have their say, Provost executives declined. Company chairman Jean Paul Provost, reached at his Montreal office, confirmed his firm was bankrupt, but asked that media enquiries be routed through Pierre Girard. Girard did not return calls. Four financial institutions - Royal Bank. Bank of Ilongkong. Caisse Centrale Ihsjardins du Quebec and the National Bank - are on the hook for most of Provost's losses• but a number of local firms have also been left holding the hag. Aamco Drivers Services (which had been supplying the temporary drivers) is reportedly out $70,000, although staff at its Scarborough office could not be reached for comment. Pickering firms out money include Eastern Tire, JC Electric and MacPherson Contracting, collectively owed more than $500x). Cheques to the union and the company's insurance supplier were returned NSF and the drivers - who are claiming $30 million in back wages - haven't been paid since last month. "We had to work six or seven days a week just to make what we did in 1990; we were the poorest paid in the industry," Shaw says. Now we don't even have a job anymore." _ BROKEN WINDSHIELD? uP rO $ 140.00 No Overcharge to Insurance Co.

A Pickering woman believes she is being p "squeezed" by Durham Region into hooking into municipal sewer and water services because she wants to sever and sell a piece of her f property Ellen Trauzzi, a Woodview Avenue j resident for 35 years (who raised seven i children in the process). is currently on a private septic system. But when Trauzzi went to the Region's land division committee for the okay to sell one acre at the back of her property to a neighbour, she found herself facing a bill of almost $15.000 (including legal and renovation bills) to get the job done. "They shouldn't have done this to me: they're most unfair to squeeze me." she says. "We've never had any problems with our septic in 35 years. It's just because I'm severing a piece at the back. One property shouldn't have anything to do with the other." .But. says Cliff Curtis, Durham's manager of development approval, the severance has everything to with it. Besides, the stipulation is in the Region's Official Plan. "She is reducing the lot area by severing a piece off. And it appears she would be unable to provide space for her septic bed and a replacement bed," he explains. "Because she is severing, she is subject to the same rules as everyone else." .Curtis notes that Durham would prefer "in a ideal world," that everyone hook up to municipal services, but says Durham doesn't make any demands if rivate services are working well. Trauzzi, however, is not satisfied, pointing out that she has already paid more than $6.000 or services that won't be available until October. The delay almost eopardised the sale, she adds. "They really have n a bind over this. I've had to borrow money to Io this."

It seems over the past two and one half years residents of ward one in Pickering have been represented by a local councillor that no one even knows. The name - Dave Ryan. If memory serves this chap campaigned heavily on his waste management/recycling background and now with Brock West Landfill critically closed could it be that this was his only issue'' In politics history has shown us that there are the occasional one issue wonders but these politicians also tend to be only there for a single term. Councillor Ryan sits at meetings week after week and most observers are hard pressed to list either his initiatives or achievements. But don't despair! With a municipal election on the horizon this fall he has 'apparently awakened. He has now brought forward a motion which boggles the mind - a code of ethics for members of council. Timing is very suspect There is something very wrong within Pickering council when Councillor Ryan brings forward a motion to adopt a code of ethics while his three year term draws to an end. He has stated that he has been too busy to deal with this issue sooner but this argument doesn't wash. More likely the motion addresses the cloud of suspicion that has been hanging over fellow Councillor Senis in recent weeks. There is currently provincial legislation that deals with conflict of interest and other matters which councillors must adhere to. In the briefing that follows election to office each councillor is provided with a handbook that deals with such issues. Perhaps each would be wise to read this material. In our view, Ryan's initiative has only one of three possible purposes. The fust being to achieve something during his three year term in office and grandstand on the motherhood issue on "ethics". The second purpose being to muzzle the press and make it difficult for the public to learn what's going on. The third issue is to harpoon fellow councillor Senis who has been mired in controversy surrounding items before Council this term. ,; If the legislation involving conflict of interest is not clear enough were not sure what a cock of ethics will do. The act seems clear; a councillor must declare immediately and refiain not only from voting but discussions on any items ,jvhere there is a direct or indirect pecuniary interest. Is Ryan concerned over how Senis has handled these SltuatlOIIS?___ _ ...... _._ .. .......... During this term in office Senis landed a commission for a real estate transaction for the property,�hich was to become a recycling facility right in the heart of Picking's serviced land. The commission received was estimated at $150,0(X). If this wasn't controversy enough, now other items are coming forward. On one issue her husband appeared as a delegation before the council appointed committee speaking in favor of zoning change which he had listed as the sales person. The deal apparently closed immediately following council adoption. What does Councillor Ryan say about this growing list of questionable actions'? Will his code of ethics address the perception that has been created'' Maybe it's just a case of the Councillor grandstanding. Then again maybe he sees nothing with his colleague's approach. o A, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Re: Your headline "Councillor or Dealmaker"" Less than one week after vour headline Mrs. Senis announces her bid for the Mavor's chair. The old saying, "the best Jefense is a good offense" certainly does apply here. Ms. Senis's campaign platform was to stop the "Bickering in Pickering". If she stays as busy as she has been, running around "settinCy records straiLht." correcting "misquotes" and "untruths," and giving all of her quotes to the other newspaper because she won't talk to The Durham Sun, she will be far too bus to even notice if there is any "Bickering in Pickering'.

John Aker says the province's waffling on their part in the program has municipalities in a tizzy over the scheduling of construction projects, noting that if Queen's Park were to approve the program today it would mean fall construction at the earliest. "There's usually problems with that ... so we're disappointed. We're ready now and the federal government okayed this four months ago. But the province has been dragging it's feet," he said. "They just waited so late. They don't have the application and we don't have the rules." Durham had a Iona list of projects read,, for program funding but will now fund the construction themselves. "We're going to have to go to tender." What the region will ask for. Aker says, is two- thirds funding of $3.45 million for a feedermain to the Ajax Water Supply Plant, two-thirds of $3.4 million for various road projects and the same share of $500,000 for repairs to regional buildings. The delay from the province in approving the project is also causing headaches at the local level. Ajax treasurer Greg Kirkbride says staff is "refining" a priority list established months ago. The town's allocation will likely be spent on traditional infrastructure projects like roads. water and sewers. he added. The bulk of the town's infrastructure allotment spent in the 1994 program (as well as much of Durham's allotment) was provided for the construction of the S16 million water supply plant. Pickering is also working on fine-tuning their priority list - one project on that list is a pedestrian bridge over Highway 401 east of Liverpool Road - as they await the rules of the game from the province.
