Pistritto For Mayor?
Two -term Pickering
councillor Enrico Pistritto
has thrown his hat into the
ring for mayor.
Pistritto joins fellow
councillor Sherry Senis
and long-time council
nemesis Richard Ward in
challenging incumbent
Mayor Wayne Arthurs for
the job this November.
Arthurs has not yet
declared his intention to
seek re-election.
Ward is currently
banned from speaking at
council, for "mouthing an
obscenity" at Arthurs at a
meeting earlier this year.
Pistritto asked that Ward
be allowed to speak to a
planning issue Monday
night, but the motion was
defeated 4-3. Regional
councillor Maurice
Brenner and Senis
supported Pistritto's
request. A similar request -
with a similar result - was
also made by Pistritto June
16.
Monday's council
meeting marked the last
meeting until Augus 5.

The spirit of vol-

in Ajax, thanks to people
like Martin Olenroot,
Ajax's 1997 Civic A%%ard
winner.
Olenroot, a salesman
at The Durham Sun, wears
many hats in Ajax and
Pickerin,. but gets the
most pleasure - and wears
out the most chapeaux -
from his tireless volunteer
work.
Olenroot, who joined
elite company on June 1 I
as a Civic Award winner, a
honor previously bestowed
on long time community
activists like Joe Dickson,
Joe Atkinson, Dorothy

ago and in 1991, following
the urging of Anita Wittv
( who was one of the four
nominees for this year's
award, with Mobeen Khaja
and Mary Sproul), he
stepped into the world of
volunteerism and
community support.
His resume since then
includes the International

early as this summer.
The company was
helping to send two to

political office in the last

Oh yes, he also makes

Despite his accomp-

ministry has suspended
the certificate of approval
at 1048 Toy Avenue -
awarded to Can -Sort
Recycling and utilized by
Evergreen Recycling -
after the fire marshall's
office discovered 16
violations of the
provincial fire code,
including over -storage and
an inoperative sprinkler
system.
The certificate sus-
pension may be the.least
of Evergreen's worries,
however: the company
filed for bankruptcy
protection lune 16.
The chain of events
began May 29, when the
Pickering Fire Depart-
ment was called in to
investigate an alleged fire.
Once inside they dis-
covered garbage covering
80 per cent of the entire
building (reaching heights
of 25 feet): approximately
four times the waste
allowed under the
provincial certificate of
approval. Small plumes of
smoke were visible at
random locations.
Reports from the fire
department and the fire
marshals paint a grim
picture, with 16 listed fire
code violations, including
a sprinkler system that had
been out of service since
April 11. Fire Inspector
Grant Cornish, in his
report to Pickering
Council. said that should
the waste material
.,spontaneously ignite" it
would be "difficult to
control a fire." .As well,
several propane cylinders
were present, along with
grass clippings.
Thermal-rav readings
in the building confirmed
that spontaneous heating
was occurring. Cornish's
report stated.
As well, an engin-
eernng report commis-
sioned by Roy Wiltshire
(representing the building
owner, 802226 Ontario
Ltd.) discovered structural
damage to the building.
Wiltshire, Cornish stated
in his report, said his
tenants "would never
allow him into the
building."

of violation were hand -

EDITOR'S
OPINION
Pickering Garbage Firm
in Arrears To Town
--When will Pickering politicians' learn the valuable
lesson about choosing carefully whom to do business with.
Case in point is the waste management firm Evergreen
Recycling on Toy Avenue and their sister company
Durham Materials Recovery on Squires Beach. -
These firms have filed for Creditor Protection under
the Bankruptcy- Act and nearly 200 unsecured creditors a
small fortune. The creditors include both Pickering Hydro
and the Town of Pickering who are likely owed S 100,000.
This amount is made up of roadwork that was never paid
for, back taxes and unpaid hydro bills. r.
The region will also have to pay S1 more per ton of
waste to use another firm's facility for waste handling.
The sad part is that it appears the taxpayers will be the
ones footing the bill for these slunifalls. What is mind bog-
gling to most astute business people is that the councillors
and the Mayor totally disregard sound business practices
normally used to safeguard the public. Regrettably, this
happens far too often in Pickering to be coincidence.
The Town should protect its interest by ensuring that a
full Letter of Credit be provided for the total cost of the
roadwork that was a condition of the 7 ming approval.
Mysteriously, this normal letter of credit was either waived
or reduced. The roadwork was done at taxpayer expense
and the Town apparently was never reimbursed.
The Region apparently commissioned a report from a �I
respected consulting firm and ignored their recommenda-
tions, and -awarding the contract to this firm which is now
in financial difficulty. Infornsation is scarce but the normal
bonding requirements appeared to have been waived. ,
.-<How did this happen and why? It is hard to understand
why the same politicians who claim to have worked so
hard to rid Pickering of imported garbage would make
concession.; to have these waste firms set up business in
urban Pickering to once again bring in other people's
>!!e -
A Lt case you're wondering, yes, this is the same propertyV
that Councillor Seais had a hand is selling, cormaissio n es-
dmated to be $150,000. At least Senis had enough business
seise to look after her own interests as neither she nor her
hasband, are on the list of unpaid creditors.
The issue is far from over as we wnuid exp®ct.st>ma►
ae to attempt to take over the Certificate of Approval for
Operating these waste sites and continue having Pickering
as a host for garbage.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Madam/Sir,
How can you be a
loser and still be a
winner? Simple: get
elected to the House of
Commons and hang
around long enough to
qualify for the gold-
plated MP pension plan.
This super -rich pension
not only takes a sting out
of defeat but it turns
losing and election into
winning a lottery! If this
sounds too strange to
believe, just consider
eight MP's who had
qualified for the pension
and who lost their seats
on June 2. We estimate
their lifetime pension
payouts will amount to an
incredible $13,363,657
dollars!
The biggest loser - or
is that winner" - is former
Liberal MP David
Dingwall, Atlantic
Canada's Minister of
Pork. We calculate that
he will collect about $3.6
million in pension
payouts if he lives to age
75.
It's outrageous and
not just because of the
cost to taxpayers. -This
matter goes beyond just
dollars and cents. The
issue is leadership. How
can Liberal MP's
hammer Canadians with
a massive increase in
Canada Pension Plan
taxes when they are
willing to reform their
own super -rich pension
plan? Taxpayers deserve
leaders who lead by
example.

Youth jobs..,, Times Are
Do you remember as
a child counting down the
days until school was out
for summer'?
Aside from the
anxious anticipation for
summer to start, a lot has
changed regarding
students summertime
agendas.
The stress of summer
hits most university and
college students after
Reading Week, when they
begin the hunt for summer
employment.
Hwh school students
enter the job search
shortly afterwards,
concerning that all the
good summer jobs will
have already been
awarded to university and
college students.
Job searching is a
tedious task and the
notion of Students having
at least a two-month
vacation to relax and
unwind is fictitious.
Students' temporary jobs
need to make them
enough money to be able
to afford to continue their
education and ideally
should provide some
experience in their field
of study.
The days of playing
a ,"Changin"
outdoors with friends and
waiting for the Dickie Dee
ice cream truck to come
around appears to be a
thing of the past.
Instead of playing in
sandbanks, students are
visiting employment
agenciesand standing in
front of job banks
searching the computer
for summer employment.
Looking for summer
employment is almost as
much work as having a
job. It requires
dedication, a lot of hours,
and persistence.
Students are busy
fine-tuning their resumes,
compos9ing cover letters
and attending job
searching workshops.
They are learning to
network with their family
and friends, spending time
cold calling, and
contacting employers on
a daily basis. Keeping
their career options open
is essential and students
practicing and perfecting
their interview skills
spend hours.
For students, gone are
the days when summers
were fun, exciting,
carefree, and the only
worry was that their
parents would call them
in too early to get ready
for bed.
Now students'
summers involve a much
higher stress component
while thev worry that they
will not get to bed early
enough to think straight at
work or have enough
energy to complete their
summer school
assortments.
In addition, students
must continue to update
their skills and remain a
well-rounded individual.
They spend time vo-
lunteerint_ with numerous
agencies and employers in
their employee's desire
participating in a variety
of extra -curricular
activities in order to
maintain a balance
development which.
Not to be mis-
understood, students still
enjoy themselves and
share in the fun elements
of summer, but they also
realize the serious side of
working. Student job
seekers have grown up.
They have become more
mature, dependable, and
hard working. They have
traded in hours of play for
hours of work, and as

One full-time job wasn't enough for Sherry Robin-
son. Which could explain why she dedicated all her
spare time this past year to raising money for the Unit-
ed Way.- _
Thanks to her help, all of the 24 agencies that the United
Way -supports in Ajax/ Pickering can continue to to run.
In fact, the 1996 campaign that she chaired was the second
largest ever, with a total of $973,000 raised.
As Sherry says, "It was a rewarding and worth-
while experience. The more successful we are, the bet-
ter it is for the charities."
Sherry works for Royal Bank here in the Ajax / Pick-
ering area. She's one of the many people across Canada
who take time out to help their communities. We'd just
like to take this opportunity to thank them for doing
what they do.

Safety is not the only rea-

A simple way to de-

is to look at the braking
system on a bicycle.
Pulling on a hike's brake

Q. Have you had your air
conditioner topped up this year?
A. If your air conditioner
needs"TOPPING UP"(to
he charged with refrigerant)
IT MUST HAVE A LEAK.
Air conditioners, coolers and
fridges should never have to be
"TOPPED UP". The only
reason it would be necesary to
do so is because your appliance
has developed a leak.
According to provincial Legis-
lation, effective March 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 testi,
they have broken the law.
Service people. home owners
and businesses will be liable.
The fines are stiff, so be aware
and have your appliances

PICKERING TOWN CENTRE
BEGINS $6 MILLION FAMOUS
PLAYERS EXPANSION
Pickering, ON, June 24,
1997 - Ontario Pension
Board Chairman, Bill
Somerville, spoke to more
than 1(N) guests at today's
Official Groundbreaking
Ceremony for the lona-
awaited expansion of
Pickering Town Centre's
Famous Players' Cinemas.
Since acquiring ownership
of the Centre in late 1995,
the Ontario Pension Board_
toeether with its manager 20
Vic Management Inc.. have
been dedicated to the
continuous expansion and
enhancement of the Centre's
retail mix and operating
systems. More than 100
new and newly renovated
stores have been added and
numerous operational
improvements designed to
protect the environment
while increasing the ease
and efficiency of Centre
operations for both guests
and tenants have been made.
With the addition of the
new Famous Players'
Cinemas, Pickering Town
Centre is taking its next big
step towards being Durham
Region's premiere shopping
destination. The
construction period for this
expansion is estimated to be
approximately twenty-three
weeks. with the new theatres
slated to open in late 1997.
In total. the project will add
approximately 45,000
square feet to the Pickering
Town Centre. "We arc very
proud to welcome Famous
Players' eight new, state-of-
the-art cinemas," says Mr.
Somerville. "The Ontario
Pension Board is investing
more than $h million in this
construction project, which
will include not only the
addition of the new theatres,
but also exciting new retail
development, expanded
parking facilities and an
entirely new face to the cast
(CUPon
side entrance of the building.
When completed, the project
will have created a dynamic
and aesthetically pleasing
streetscapc on the Centre's
northeast side that is in
keeping with the Town of
Pickering's long-term plan
for the development of the
downtown core."
The multi-million dollar
project will provide
tremendous benefits to the
Region's construction and
subtrade business economy.
and when completed, will
create many new jobs in the
retail/service sector.
The Ontario Pension
Board was founded in 1994
to be the trustee of the Public
Service Pension Fund and to
administer the plan of behalf
of its 25,(NX) members and
37.000 pensioners. The
Plan's members and
pensioners are employees or
former employees of the
Province of Ontario and
some of its agencies. From
its inception. the Ontario
Pension Board has pursued a
conservative long-term
strategy of investing in a
diversified portfolio of
market investments.

Letter To Constituents
June 1997 • The Durham Sun Weekly 15
ONTMJO
Janet Ecker, MPP
Durham West
Dear Constituent:
At the mid -point in our mandate. i am reporting to you on the status of the commitments we made to you. the voters of Durham West
and of Ontario.
The constituents of Durham West have told me they want to hear more about what the government is doing so the,. can judge for
themselves whether or not the government is on the right track.
TAXES ARE DOWN
In June of 1995, the provincial deficit was close to S 12 billion a year. job -killing harrier, were stifling business growth. taxes con-
tinued to climb and job opportunities were quickly disappearing. What a difference two rears makes. To day. tares for hard working
Ontario families are going down.
We have brought in 30 tax cuts - including cuts to personal income tax. and payroll taxes. When the income tax cut is fully imple-
mented. 91 percent of all taxpayers will see an Ontario tax cut of 30 percent or greater. and 655.(XX) 1,)w -income families and indicidu-
afs will pay no Ontario tax at all.
Simply put. you are getting to keep more of your hard-earned money. After all_ it's not our money we're dealing with. it's yours.
('prions: GOVERNMENT COSTS _
We hale scrapped the NIPP goid plated pension plan and --tax free' allow anew and are reducing our own administrative costs b.,
some 30 percent. We are streamlining government and elimtnatin,_ waste and bureaucrac%. ,Alread%. we %e sased over SNO million
h% requinng agencies, tx)ards and commissions to operate more efficiently. and S7(X) million in reducing government _rants. Go%ern-
ment toda% is smaller, leaner. and more efficient. In two vears, we have reduced Ontario's public ser,. ice b-� 11.549) positions. .And
for the first time in forty years, the number of politiciansat Queen's Park will also he reduced.
N ELFARE REFORMS ARE UNDER %%A V
Our welfare rcti,rms are all. working. We have tightcned eligibility and implemented measures to eliminate fraud and ahuse
Our fraud hotline has saved taxpayers S8.5 million. Close to I A).i 0 fewer people are relying on social assistance toda% than when
we first took office in June 1991 Ontario Works, a mandator work -tor -welfare program is steadily growing as'_3 communities, in-
cluding Durham Region. implement the program.
Our government is makin it easier for Ontario's small business sector to _row and prosper M following through on
recommendations to eliminate more than 15(X) unnecessan husincv, rr,_uLttions. We'se also repealed unfair labour law s. treed
small business from joh-killing payroll taxes, and given hanks plenty of incentive to finance small business loans in Ontario.
INCREASE iN HEALTH SPENDING
As promised. we are protecting the services important to you. We are putting patients first by redesigning the pro%ince's health
care system to create new integrated and community -hased sen ices that better reflect changes in how health care is provided axial
Total healthcare spending for 1997-9S has increased to 51 ti 5 hill ion, the highest in Ontario's histon . We are rein%esting am sa%im's
found in the system into much-needed programs such as cancer care. neurotrauma, acute care. rehabilitation and community carr.
Rein%e%tments to date total almost SI billion.
INIPROVINC EDUCATION QUALiTY
Our reduction in the number of school tx)ards from 129 to 72. and in the number of trustees form 1.(MX) to approximately 'I N ).
will allow more resources to be directed to students and teachers in the classroom. instead of bureaucracy. Nfam parents will he ,glad
to know that we have also capped trustees' salaries at S5,(XX) per year. Now. parents will have more input and choice on major deci-
sions aftecting their children's education.
Our reforms will strengthen curriculum. establish province -wide standards and testing. and institute a standard report card. We
will also revamp the way we fund education. Currently. per pupil spending reflects the relative wealth of a school tx)ard. rather than
what it actually costs to provide quality education for a child. Recently, we introduced a more rigorous and demanding
curriculum for Ontario students in grades one through eight for those all important subjects of reading, writing and arithmetic. This
new curriculum will raise the standard of education for all students in Ontario.
..To make our highways and roads safer, we just recently introduced tough new laws to target those driven breaking the law. Im-
proving services for high-risk children is also a high priority. We have increased money for child w elfare and for intervention and
prevention supports for families in trouble.
Is our plan working? A resounding YES! lobs are up - 90,000 net new jobs were created by the private sector in 1996, and an-
other 45,600 in March of this year alone - the deficit is down, and housing starts, retail sales and consumer confidence have all in-
creased dramatically. -
Even though we have been very productive in the last two years, much more still has to be done. We will continue to iniple-
melit our plan for quality education, improved health care, a balanced budget, lower taxes and jobs.
-i would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped me in in,. role as y our representative at Queen's Park.
Your advice and suggestions, criticism and support have provided me with important feedback so that I may represent your
interests as your provincial MPP. With your help, I look forward to continuing the task of getting Ontario back on track.
Sincerel%,
u4c,
Janet Ecker. MPP
