Pickering
Pushing For
Fire and
Transit
With
By Glenn Hendry
Will fire and transit
be another step towards
the merger of Ajax and
Pickering?
Pickering's
politicians hope (and
fear) that's the case after
approving a plan to merge
Merger
Ajax
the two municipal
departments with their
eastern neighbor at
Monday night'} council
meeting.
Pickering -t jax Fire
Department. Ajax -
Pickering Transit.
Pickering councillors

Garbage Crisis Hits Toy Avenue
and Squires Beach Road
Rv Glenn HendrN
Durham Materials
Recovery Facility Inc., the
transfer station that opened
up shop on Squires Beach
Road with much fanfare
only last November, has
filed for 30 day creditor
protection under the
Bankruptcy and
Insolvency Act.
The declaration -
which Lives the company
protection from creditors
while executives draw up
a business plan to keep the
firm afloat - was filed May
28. capping a terrible week
for co-owner Jon Grayson.
Grayson is also the vice-
president of Evergreen
Recychn_• on ToN Avenue
in Pickering, which was
ordered to empty its
warehouse of garbage the
week before so the
Ministr% of Environment
and Energy and the
Pickering Fire Department
can conduct separate
investigations.
The list of creditors
and Durham Materials
Recovery's debt load is not
being made public yet,
says Robert Harlang of
Richter and Associates of
Toronto, who is acting as
the trustee for the
company. The 30 -day
creditor protection period
expires June 27 and a
creditor meeting has to be
called within three weeks
nice rings to them.
Whether Ajax Council (it
will debated at a meeting
later this month) shares
that sentiment remains to
be seen.
Pickering Mayor
Wayne Arthurs - a strong
supporter of amalga-
mating the two towns -
said the fire and transit
proposal is the first result
of a merger meeting held
in March and attended by
councillors and staff from
both towns. Both councils
were able to agree to more
partnerships at that
meeting - animal control
and specialized transit are
already shared - but a full
merger did not receive
of that date. At that time.
Harlang says. the creditor
list will be made public.
The company's lawyer
of record is Morris
Fleming of Wilson.
Vukelich of Markham.
While Durham
Materials Recovery can
still operate, residential
waste is now being
diverted - until further
notice - from the facility
to the Pebblestone Multi -
Services building in
Whitby, causing pick-up
delays for Ajax and
PickerinL, residents. The
explanation, says
Pickerinu councillor
Maurice Brenner, is that
the Squires Beach Road
warehouse is "overflowing
with garbage."
Durham Materials
Recovery and Pebblestone
won the right to operate
transfer stations last
summer, heating out rival
bids from Courtice Auto
Wreckers and Laidlaw.
The two successful
bidders got the nod from
regional council to take in
waste. sort out recyclables
and ship out the garbage
to Keele Valley Landfill
Site.
The tendering process
was made neccessary
because of the closing of
the Brock West West
Landfill Site in Pickering
and the potential of
Durham Materials
"Clearly the consoli-
dation of services, and of
the administration, of both
fire and transit, is quite
doable," Arthurs said. "It's
time to move on. It's time
to cut to the chase for
more partnerships that are
real and viable options for
the community."
Pickering's idea is to
strike a committee to
investigate the merger of
the two departments, with
Jack Gartley, the finance
commissioner of Durham
Region (he is scheduled
for retirement next
month), hired as a
consultant. Gartley would
be looking at the financial
implications of the service
merger "for this and future
Recovery going under has
regional councillors
concerned.
Regional works
committee chairman John
Aker assured councillors,
however, that Courtice
Auto Wreckers has a
proper certificate of
approval from the ministry
to step into the breach
should Durham Materials
Recovery be unable to
operate. As well, Aker
said, Pebblestone has
excess capacity.
Pickering councillor
Dout, Dickerson. who
grilled Aker in the council
chambers over the
Durham Materials
Recovery situation, said he
is even more alarmed over
the goings-on at
Evergreen, claiming that
the ministry and fire
department investigations
will show the company
has been taking in at least
three times the garbage
they're allowed.
The certificate of
approval - held by
building owner 802226
Ontario Ltd. (Charles and
Roy Wiltshire are named
as principals. Evergreen is
considered a tennant) -
allows just 250 tonnes of
solid. commercial or
industrial waste, up to 199
tonnes per day.
"When the report
comes it will probably
show at least 750 tonnes,"
partnerships," noted
Arthurs.
Regional councillor
Rick Johnson had serious
"second thoughts" about
the proposal, however,
adding that Gartley, who
he described as a "number
cruncher" - may not be the
best candidate for the
consultant position.
"I think we're pushing
some buttons here ... I have
some problems with the
direction this is going," he
said. "It looks like we're
PAC -MAN, eating up
Ajax right now, at the
expense of our taxpayers."
But fellow regional
councillor Maurice
Brenner threw his support
behind the proposal - and
claims Dickerson, who is
still waiting to hear from
the ministry.
The councillor also
suspects Evergreen is
taking in "wet" garbage -
something annoyed
neighbors have been
claiming for years - but
notes those questions will
be answered when the
MOEE report is
completed.
"If there are any
violations, there will have
to be a decision on
whether to pull the
certificate." he said.
The investigations
stem from odor complaints
from neghboring business
owners on Toy Avenue on
May 29 - one day after
Durham Materials
Recovery filed their
"notice of intention to
make a proposal" pursuant
to the Act - about
"fermenting" garbage.
Evergreen was then told to
clean out the warehouse so
the ministry can conduct a
thorough investigation.
The fire department is
also preparing a report.
Deputy Chief Bill Douglas
says he wants to ensure
proper firesafety systems -
such as sprinklers - are in
place.
Grayson was not
available for comment on
either situation.
for Gartley - pointing out
that "a number cruncher
is exactly what we need."
The proposed
committee would also
include the mayor, CAO
and one senior treasury
staff member from each
town.
In the staff report it
was noted that merging
fire departments would
save money because it
would provide for more
"logical locations" for fire
halls and allow for more
effective use of equipment
and training facilities.
Servicing transit vehicles
in one location would also
save "significant" funds,
the report stated.

From museums to
zoos and from wineries to
nuclear power plants.
Durham Region has it all
for the discriminating
tourist.
And while Durham
may not be thought of as
a prime tourist destination
- ala Prince Edward
Island. Niagara Falls or
the Rocky Mountains -
the area gets its fair share.
More than $3(X) million
worth. in fact, and the
market, says Durham
Region business and
development manager
Norm Leigh, is due for an
explosion
"We're marginally
higher than 1993, but
that's because the
economy hasn't picked up
quite yet. But the forecast
is for very busy season
this year, weather
permitting," says Leigh.
"And they're predicting a
warm and dry summer."
While Durham can't
offer wax museums or
bighorn sheep ( they can
offer the Lucy Maud
Montgomery House in
Leaksdale, however).
they do have a veritable
cornucopia of tourist
delights.
To wit: Pickering
Museum Village,
Bowmanville Zoo and
Jungle Cat World, Cullen
Gardens, Parkwood
Estate, the Canadian
Automotive Museum (an
"unrealized treasure."
says Leigh). Picov
Downs horse racing (and
fish farm) and the York -
Durham Heritage
Railway.
There's also hundreds
of prime golf courses,
"soft" tourist sites like the
magical Lynde Shores
Conservation area
(where, if you're nice and
quiet and bring seed,
chickadees will feed from
your hand). Second
Marsh, the Oak Ridges
Moraine Trail ("it will
one day rival the Bruce
Trail." claims Leigh) and
other wonderful passive
places like Purple Woods
and Greenwood conser-
vation areas.
For the more
adventurous, there's
canoeing on the Nonquon
and Beaver rivers in north
Durham, tours through
the Pickering and
Darlington nuclear power
plants and world class
salmon fishing on Lake
Ontario.
For the party animal,
F1
Durham has some of the
best festivals in the
province, such as the
Highland Games in
Uxbridge. Music in the
Park in Ajax, Canada Day
in Oshawa. Ajax Home
Week (this weekend) and
the just concluded
Frenchman's Bay Festival
in Pickering.
If sampling the grape
of life is more your taste,
the region can provide
that as well at Ocala
Winery near Port Perry
and Archibald Estate
Winery near Tyrone.
Star gazing is also big
business in Durham. The
region is a favorite
location for movie
makers (and their
appropriate stars) and
hundreds of film and
television productions
have been shot here in
recent vears. There are
five productions, in fact,
now filming in Durham.
Leigh points out.
"Agro tourism is also
very big," Leigh adds. "A
lot of people come to
Durham for farm -fresh
produce. as well as farm
tours."
The big marketing
push right now is the
group tour trade. Leigh
says. claiming out that
•
each bus load of tourists
represents a minimum of
$7,000 to $10.000 in
revenue to regional
businesses and
attractions.
"That's what we're
concentrating on, and
we're doing a good job of
promotion in that sector.
We're also getting the
word out through our
tourist guide book. We'll
be distributing 100.000
copies— 70,000 outside
the region, including in
the U.S."
The Durham tourism
team - led by Patti
Watson, the co-ordinator
for Tourism Durham. also
heads out on the road.
hitting about a dozen
trade and consumer
shows a year on both
sides of the border.
The visitors who
have been flocking to
Durham attractions hail
from over the world, from
the Phillipines to England
to Iraq. About one-third
of our visitors are from
international destinations.
with another one-third
coming from elsewhere
in the GTA.
"It's only going to get
better." Leigh predicts.

Dickerson Questions Panaro Appointment
By Glenn Hendry
Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs'
selection for the Ontario Hydro team
investigating copper and zinc erosion
into Lake Ontario isn't sitting well with
local councillors Doug Dickerson and
Maurice Brenner, who believe the final
report will be "contaminated" because
Hydro will have their own members on
the panel "investigating themselves."
Arthurs, asked to choose a local
representative for the team that is
studying how more than 1,000 tonnes
of potentially toxic chemicals leached
into the lake from the Pickering Nuclear
Generating Station since the late 1970s,
opted for Dr. Linda Panaro, Durham
Region's associate medical officer of
health.
But Dickerson said the investigation
- the final report is due June 27 - is "far
from an independent study" because two
of the four members on the team are
Ontario Hydro employees.
"Why would they want our medical
officer of health to investigate
themselves? It's suspect ... This panel will
not sit well with our constituents," he
said during debate last week at regional
council.
Brenner also questioned Panaro's
appointment, noting that the team should
be more interested in the process - how
the utility allowed the minerals to seep
into the lake and how to prevent a similar
occurrence in the future - than on
environmental health issues, Panaro's
area of expertise.
Whitby Mayor Tom Edwards, who
chairs the region's health committee,
defended Panaro's appointment, noting
that Hydro will not be able to hide
important information with Panaro on
the team.
. "If anyone on the panel finds out
anything, we'll get to know about it."
Regional Chairman Jim Witty, who
admitted the selection process might
have been "entirely different" if time
permitted, pointed out that Durham
would likely face criticism if Panaro
wasn't named to the investigation panel.
Panaro, in a later interview.
wondered what the fuss was about,
however. She said her appointment was
based on her expertise in environmental
health, and as a "voice of the
community."
"For the half million people who
live in Durham Region, their health
protection is my responsibility," she said.
"Maybe I'm not the best person for the
job, but Mayor Wayne Arthurs obviously
thought I was."
Panaro also questioned Dickerson's
allegations that the findings of the
investigation will be weighed in favor
of Ontario Hydro, noting that the team
will be headed by Dr. Peter Victor, the
dean of environmental studies at York
University.
"He has a wealth of experience in
environmental health and if (Hydro)
starts trying to shuffle the deck, Peter
can say, 'hey, wait a minute."'
Panaro added that both the process -
including issues like the 'scrub rate.",
the decision-making schedule, material
choices and the 'paper trail'- and public
health issues will be addressed in the
final report.
"It will be outside advisors who will
be looking at environmental issues. And
that's a big advantage."
But Dickerson, who wants an
outside investigation (Pickering Council
has already asked for a full investigation
under the Environmental Bill of Rights),
is not convinced.
"It's still an internal (Hydro) investi-
gation and they're going to come back
and tell us everything is fine."

EDITOR'S
OPINION
Garage in Pickering
Still has Strange Odour!
The Durham Sun broke the story weeks back about the
windfall commission Pickering councillor Sherry Senis
and her hubby made selling land to a recycling facility lo-
cated in urban Pickering.
We also told of strange odours and lack of action by
certain councillors to correct a smelly garbage problem.
Road work unpaid to the town plus numerous complaints
from neighbours seemed to go unnoticed. Now we learn
famn a former employer that the firm on Squires Beach is in
financial difficulty and have engaged a trustee to file for
creditor protection.
This firm surfaced a few years back to challenge the
garbage giants offering Pickering and Durham region a
home for much of its waste. Originally we were under the
impression they were only handling recyclable building
materials that were tking diverted from landfill. From all
report_,, they are handling much more than this including
wet smelly garbage at the Toy avenue locaticxr. The owners
of the Durham Sun were originally invited to tour one of
the facilities by the firm's solicitor. This tour was can-
celled by their principals and was not rescheduled.
The recycling firm was able to gain surprising political
support enabling them w land a large contract with Durham
Region to handle waste from other Towns including Pick-
ering. Now financial problems have surfaced.
" We will be watching carefully at how this shakes out
especially to see if this whole sad tale impacts the taxpay-
ers of the region or Pickering. Surely the politicians would
have secured a suretv bond to ensure that the contract can
be completed for the financial terms now in place in the
event of a problem like this? We will also be interested
learning whether business taxes and the sizable bill from
Picketing Hydro are current_ Will the road work that was
done at taxpayers' expense ever get reimbursed or is this
someone else's responsibility?
'Ff adl of the financial safeguards are sot properly is

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Tax reductions are
available to those who
will step forward and
demand them. Currently
the average household
pays extra taxes to pay
for roads that are scarcely
used and could bring in
extra homes and more
taxes at no extra cost. We
pay extra taxes to cover
the cost of service for
new development, which
should be paid by the
private companies
wanting those services.
We pay extra taxes to
offset the federal and
provincial infrastructure
grants, which are diverted
wastefully for private
purposes.
There is every reason
to say our homes are the
most important thing we
own. As such we must
protect them against the
ravages of higher taxes.
Too many families are
slipping quietly through
the cracks by the loss of
their homes. These lost
homes and broken
families are unnecessary.
The only way to put a
stop to this loss is to stop
the overtaxing which is
hitting the homeowners
of Durham Region. Your
council representative
assumes to let our
councillors know there is
room for improvement
and certainly for a tax cut
on our homes by more
efficient government at
City Hall at region.

Everything that we do
in life is the result of a
previous action, a step in o
logical progression.
Summer job experience
for students is no
exception to this rule.
The Human Resource
Centre for Students has
been helping employers
fill vacancies, and students
find work for 29 years.
Employers can use the free
service to post orders,
screen applicants, and get
referrals. The Centre
offers students the
opportunity to view
postings, as well as
improve their job search
skills through workshops
and individual
employment counselling.
This year the Human
Resource Centre for
Students has focused its'
advertising campaign on a
promotion to remember
Youth Jobs...Remember When,.,...?
where they began building
their work related skills.
The campaign has two
objectives. From the
students perspective the
promotion wants students
to realize that nobody
starts out as the CEO of a
company. In reality they
may get their foot in the
door as a floor sweeper in
the factory.
Just because a student
takes a summer job at a
fast food place. picking
berries, or bagging
groceries does not mean
that they have accepted
this as their career path. In
fact. the job title is not
significant. Rather, it is
the skills that are learned
that are important.
Landscaping teaches
a student how to work
t, dn d the value of
trustworthy, patient and
provides experience
working with children.
Working as a snack bar
attendant gives a student
cash experience and
sharpens their communi-
cation skills. While
working a variety of odd
jobs throughout the
community reveals
flexibility, enthusiasm, and
responsibility.
Success rewards
people who are willing to
work hard. Before a
student turns down a job
paying minimum wage.
they should look at the
skills and experience that
they will gain from the job
opportunity.

720 Bags
of Trash
People like Martin Olen -
root and John Scott deserve
everyone's thanks for the suc-
cess of the 9th annual Ajax
Environmental Affairs Week.
Some 720 bags of rubbish.
plus many recyclable blue
boxes were recovered, along
with hundreds of new planti-
ngs, educational displays, an
interprative waterfront walk
and other projects, too nu-
merous to mention. Many ac-
colades to the town council-
lors and departments and to
Bill hovers and Deanna Fr-,,

Water!
At the invitation of Ajax resi-
dent Abdul Rahim and the
Aga Khan Foundation a num-
her of us locally participated
in the annual Partnership
Walk recently at (Queens
Park. The theme was "'Water
for Life particularly rural
development projects in Asia
and Africa. The event recon
firmed that acces-sibilltv to
clean water is essential, not
only for an
improved quality of life• but
for life itself. Federal minister
David Collinette, provincial
minister Dave Johnson, and
three MP's (including Dan
McTeague) along with Pick-
ering Mayor Wayne Arthurs,
Pickering Counillor Dave
Ryan and myself all had the
pleasure of starting off the
walk!

They need different length shoes. Shoes must be fitted by arch length --heel to ball -
joint: not foot length --heel to toe.
There are lasts for short -toed feet: and lasts for long -toed feet. The correct last for
1 a foot is one that accomodates the ball -joint in its proper place, and leaves enough
space ahead of toes so they are not cramped or twisted.
The toes are cramped and twisted --stopping the
ventilation and creating excessive perspiration,
which causes rotting of the inner soles, linings, and
upper leather. Short shoes like these cause enlarged
great -toe joints and bunions, as well as general foot
discomfort. Each step strains the foot -arch. Without
support under its entire arch -span, the foot sags
down, nerves and blood vessels are pinched.

From service staff to cab drivers to construction workers, more people affect tourism in Ontario than you think.
As one of our largest economic resources, tourism contributes over $11.5 billion to our economy every year.
It creates thousands of jobs, builds communities and provides new opportunities for entrepreneurs and
investors alike. So whether you grow zucchini for hotel restaurants or make hinges for theatre seats, join us to
celebrate Tourism Awareness Week.
Whatever you do, you play an important role in Ontario tourism.

helps people.
Sherry Robinson helps
the United Way.
One full-time job wasn't enough for Sherry Robinson.
Which could explain why she e-edicated all her spare time this past
year to raising money for the United 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 worthwhile experi-
ence. The more successful we are, the better it is for the charities."
Sherry works for Royal Bank here in the Ajax/ Pickering 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.

'It really hasn't sunk
in yet," says Gerroir. "I'm
honoured, of course. To
see my picture and name
in lights is nice. It makes
me happy to see that
everything I've done is all
worth while.
"It's a great idea for
the up-and-coming
swimmers."
Gerroir is currently
attending Virginia
Polytechnical University
where she became the
school's Rookie of the
Year this season. As a
member of the PSC,
Gerroir won a silver
medal in the 200m
individual medley and a
bronze in the 100m
butterfly at the 1994
Canadian Eastern Cup
Championships. Last
year she finished with a
silver medal at the Junior

"I'm happy with what

Flood, Fogel, and
Gerroir have set the stage
