In January, 1995, Senis gave her landlord three months notice that she was leaving her lease early, notice that was later extended to June. In mid-June the application was back on the table and Senis again failed to declare a conflict.

Van Kempen responded b) challenging the councillor to a public debate on cable TV to discuss the truth behind the sale. Senis, however, in a letter sent to Van Kempen, refused, claiming her duties as councillor "do not include a public debate with every constituent." Van Kempen says he is disappointed by Senis' refusal, noting that the silence from the councillor ( who is running for Mayor) "speaks volumes" about the accuracy of the news story. "I find it interesting that councillor Senis refuses to debate the issue, especially since she was so quick to state that the story surrounding her real estate firm and her husband receiving a commission, estimated to be $150,000, for the sale was inaccurate and contained misquotes," he says. I have made it clear that the Durham Sun stands behind the story as reported and the fact that the councillor has declined to debate the issue - so she explain all the details in her own words - answers the accuracy question for me.

Councillors will also ask the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario - who reports directly to the Provincial Legislature - to conduct an investigation under the Environmental Bill of Rights. The tone of council's demand was softened, however, from the original motion moved by regional councillor Maurice Brenner, who wanted Environment Canada to investigate the "laying of charges" against the utility giant. "If this was the private sector they would have been charged already," Brenner insisted_ A motion to hold a public enquiry into the operations at the plant was also defeated at Monday's council meeting, which was attended by station director Ken Talbot and a team of nuclear technicians. Brenner's concern centred on when Hydro officials knew of the scope of the erosion. The councillor accused plant officials of "covering up" the news for at least six years and not providing Ministry of Energy and Environment investigators with inaccurate information. According to internal memos, Hydro officials (who have been granted only a short-term license for the plant because of long-term problems) knew about the discharges - which fall well below health hazard levels - since 1989 but refused to inform the public. But Paul Wianco, an environmental technician at the plant, insists the ministry was given all the facts, noting that water quality at the plant was tested monthly in 199091. He also says Ontario Hydro was aware of the concentration of copper in the water (up to 18 parts per billion for copper, with toxicity levels for fish 100 to 4(X) pbb) by 1991, but not the total loading, estimated at least 56 tonnes of copper discharged into the lake per year. Brenner scoffed at that assertion, however, noting that Ontario Hydro could have simply "done the math" to learn the total loading. "They were aware. I can't account why they didn't figure it out right away. " The metals are released into the lake from corroding brass tubes used to help drive the plant's turbines. Lake water used to cool the tubes then washes back into the lake, bringing rusting metals like copper and zinc with it. Ontario Hydro learned there may be a problem when they re -tubed in the mid-90s and found the old tubes weighed consid- erably less than the original weight of the tubes. Hydro, nonetheless, again installed brass tubes as replacements New tubes being installed by Ontario Hydro at the 'A' station ('B' station replacements early in the next century) are expected the solve the discharge problems. In any case, Durham Region Associate Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Linda Panaro, is not concerned with the toxic emissions, saying water tests near the Ajax Water Plant show public health is not being jeopardized.. Talbot, in his address to council, says Ontario Hydro has done nothing wrong. He says nuclear staff worked "co- operatively" with ministry staff in reviewing test data, pointing out that the copper and zinc emissions were not identified as a significant environmental concern." "The MOEE agreed that the emissions are not toxic." Talbot also announced that Ontario Hydro will conduct a full review of the issue and invited Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs to appoint a qualified representative to the review team. Arthurs accepted. But Brenner, who argued vehemently for a temporary license only for the plant (the final decision will he made by the Atomic Energy Control Board June ?i ). says he's frustrated with the slow rate of improvements at the facility. "1 believe the mechanical failures have become a regular way of life at the facilitv." he said.

Sherry Senis has officially refused to debate the entire conflict of interest issue with one of the owners of the paper. This was a glorious chance for her to tell in her own words her involvement in the real estate sale that saw her and her husband earn a commission estimated at $150.000, with Pickering gaining a waste recycling plant smack within the urban boundaries. If she has done nothing wrong one would think she would welcome the chance to explain her side of her involvement. What are residents and voters supposed to think? \Life in Politics means everything you do comes under scrutiny and rightfully so. Senis had better gest used to it and give her constituents the explanation they deserve. The job of local councillor pays about S 14,000 per year. There is no doubt that more can be earned in work outside of municipal elected life. Now another resident has come forward pointing out in documented minutes that the same councillor voted on items involving the very location and landlord whet: her business had been located. Shortly after council voted upon the item she terminated her lease prematurely. As the resident musses "isn't this a conflict of interest"? We could find no declaration of interest made by the councillor. The Durham Sun put in writing very specific questions to councillor Senis about this very item. Predictably, we received no reply wen the story gets told Senis will realize that it's not the Durham Sun - she has to answer to but, rather, the electorate. Beyond the legality questions, there is a perception that has been created that we would have thought she would quickly want to shed. All of this comes from a councillor who announces she will be cunning for mayor this fall. Her most recent contribution at council was to support her fellow councillor in asking that a code of ethics be drafted for councillors to follow. The councillor would be well advised to review the current legislation that governs the conduct and ensure she is in total compliance. ,, low, she indicaft that Pickering is the choir site for a cociectional facility. Mayor Arthurs rightfully -challenged her to identify the source of this information, to, which she refused. What could her refusal to identify the source of this information pombly mean? Did she have sodic reliable inside [reformation? Is she involved in a red estate seamb for a suitable location for such a hviliity?

This is the theory the Liberals and the Conservatives have governed Canada with since Ottawa was taken over completely by the French regime. It started with Trudeau and Chretien in the seventies. Billions of dollars were borrowed against the Canadian taxpayer to build a second Ottawa in Hull Quebec. Billions more to implement the bilingualism which has split this country into racial camps and made true Canadians into second class citizens. Then it's the Conservatives turn to milk the Canadian taxpayer with GST and many tax increases. Many years of losing jobs because of the wonderful free trade pact which eventually closed down many businesses. This is the team which the handsome Jean Charest played for: now he is#he head of the team. In came the Liberals once more. Cutting the cash flow to the province but not touching their golden pension plan for themselves. They plan to extend free trade to South America for more cheap labor and more jobs lost in Canada. The Liberals and the conservatives are both right when they say Quebec is a "distinct society". Quebec is the only province which has for many years received billions of dollars back from Ottawa. We all pay for this bonus. -- The ordinary French people don't want distinction as much as they want more provincial autonomy and freedom from the ravages of federalism. Many Canadians support this principal and it would give the right of input back to the people. We are told the deficit is coming down and that's great, but just remember that six hundred billion dollars which the Liberals and the Conservatives borrowed has still got to be paid.

Arthurs has kick-started a task force on the future of Pickering's waterfront - dubbed Waterfront 2001 - which will invite representatives from community organizations, public agencies and private interests las well as residents) to provide their vision for the town's lakefront. Arthurs notes that now is an "opportune time" for the task force, Pointing out that Pickering settled its long simmering litigation with East Shore Marina over ownership of Frenchman's Bay in 1994 and also solved its other bay -area headache - the Port Pickering Manna lands - by buying the property in February. Dave Steele, the chairman of PACT, has been appointed as the chairman of the task force. Steele said public access to the waterfront, "bringing the waterfront trail to the water," enhancing the existing community and preserving the bay will be the top priorities of the task tierce. "I am calling upon all those interested in Pickering's waterfront to become involved with and communicate ideas to assist in the creation of a master b' orofs of ' �rsofom .los Dickson We're riving in a time of rapidly changing values.

IV man who leaves nothing to chance will do few things badly, but will do very few things. strategic plan for Pickering's waterfront," he says. Waterfront 2001 will attempt to establish a comprehensive vision for the future of the lakefront and task force members will meet with landowners and residents as the first step in developing a strategy. A design workshop is scheduled for the council chambers June 25. "The public has played a big role in past projects to improve the waterfront," Arthurs says, "and continued involvement will he vital to implement the waterfront vision that emerges from the public input the task force receives this summer." Already on board for the task force's steering committee are representatives from PESCA, LWCA, the Town. Ajax - Pickering Board of Trade, MTRCA. Ontario Hydro, the Waterfront Trust and Pickering Harbor Company. A budget for the task force has yet to he set, although Steele hopes there will he enough money to hire a student this summer. A state of the union report - including future recommendations - is expected to be completed by September. 1fHERO ARMY SURPLUS INC TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR FASHION LARGE SELECTION OF CAM01lFLAGE T,SNIRf'S AND TANKTOPS its DURHAM REGION Green Plife Special 2 El! sholk (broken asy) 1/2 pnyMfroit to of Mir) Hake -Cot MOW toot fried) ON t $44 efdef of Leftwer Tessa!

Britain's Johnny Herbert, in a Sauber, and David Coulthard, in a McLaren, were fifth and sixth, Herbert stealing past his friend on the final lap of a closely - contested and intriguing, if rarely thrilling, race. For Villeneuve, it was the ideal result after his two non -finishes in the San Marino and Monaco Grands Prix and buoyed him up perfectly for the next race, his home Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal next month. "it was a very pleasing day for me and for the whole team after what happened in Monaco," he said, referring to Williams' disastrous selection of drv-weather tires and set-up at the rain -lashed event in Monte Carlo. "After that stupidity it is good to win again. "We have thrown away too many races this year and now we have to make the most of things. The car felt very strong and very fast throughout the race. it was a good all-round team performance." Villeneuve, starting from pole position, won the race with some ease. He was beaten away at the start by Coulthard who burst into the first corner in the lead, but he recovered before the end of the opening lap and then dominated the proceedings. except for two brief spells following his pit stops. But V]Ileneuve's Williams teammate Heinz -Harald Frentzen of Germany had a poor race. He started alongside Villeneuve on the front row of the grid, but slipped to sixth on the opening lap during which twice world champion Michael Schumacher leapt from seventh to second in his Ferrari. Frentzen finished eighth and failed to score a point for the fifth time in the six races so far. His inconsistencv is becoming a problem for the Williams team who, although winning, remains second to Ferrari in the constructors' table and needs him to support Villeneuve if they are to retain their crown. Schumacher's burst of speed over the opening five laps put him in second but also destroyed his first set of tires and caused him to slow down the rest of the field, giving Villeneuve a perfect opportunity to open up a big lead. Five seconds ahead after eight laps, he was nine ahead by the end of the ninth and 16 clear at the end of lap 12 as Schumacher struggled before the first bout of pit stops. Behind Villeneuve there was plenty of jostling for position and several complaints about illegal blocking by Britain's Eddie Irvine in the second Ferrari. Irvine's hopes of a fourth successive points finish were wrecked by a 10 -second penalty inflicted for ignoring the blue warning flags when he was blocking the frustrated Panis for several laps. "I just could not get past him," Panis said. "He must have some problem with his eyesight. Everyone could see the blue flags were being waved. But it is impossible to talk to Eddie about anything, isn't it?" At the other end of the scale, defending world champion Damon Hill found some consolation in his sixth successive non -finish by saying that he felt some optimism due to the "quite good" performance of his Arrows car. It enabled him to climb to seventh from 15th on the grid before he retired with engine failure after 18 laps. 17 1101, 61"'■ ;1 1 Ike .A',' ■ ', Oh 1 I.

Lewis and Wells both play the power position on the juvenile teams and were an integral part of the success of the Solars championship squad. "We played really well and I think we peaked for it," said Wells. Prior to winning the Canadian and Provincial titles, both girls played on the Scarborough junior team. At the nationals for that level, the team fin- ished as bronze medallists. At 16 years old, Lewis did- n't see any playing time at the Junior Nationals with the older squad while Wells, 17, played in the backcourt.

Russell dominates international field Independent Ajax swimmers Colin and Cameron Russell recently tested their skills against an international field. At the 1(hh Annual Dr. Ralph Hicken International Invitational hosted by the Mississauga Aquatic Club at the Etobicoke Olympian, approximately 30 swim clubs including over 600 swimmers from across the province, the United States and Britain participated at the meet. Colin, 12, swimming in the boys 11-12 year-old division earned himself the High Point Trophy for his hard-earned efforts. Because of his work ethic and determination, Colin swam to gold medal performances in each of his nine events as well as obtaining personal best times. His gold medals came in the 50 metre - 100m, 200m, 400m, and 1500m freestyle events, 100m and 200m butterfly, 100m breaststroke, and the 200m individual. medley. Training especially hard this past season to obtain goals he place upon himself, Colin is still striving towards those aspirations. He believes the time is within his reach once he if fully rested for his last meet at the end of June. His times continue to improve and he is excited about his prospects for the final meet. Little brother Cameron, 8, was the youngest swimmer to qualify for this meet. Cameron swam in the boys 9-10 year-old division and placed in the top 10 in most of his events while acquiring personal best times. Cameron placed fourth in the 400m freestyle and the 100m butterfly. He also placed sixth in the 50m freestyle, seventh in the 100m freestyle and 200m individual medley, eighth in the 200m freestyle, and ninth in the 100m breast- stroke and 200m backstroke. 1410 Bayly St. Piekerieg (_ C_S_;q9- Large Sandwich Platter�� Small Veggie Platter Small Dessert Platter save $10 (feeds approx. 8 - 10 people) call 420-2309 for Pick up or Delivery Limited time only with this ad The 7 Ir .1 Y.
