A Vote For Hope
By Frank Cardiman
For many Pickering voters,
going to the polls will be a little
like going to the dentist's office.
Thev will go for the right reason,
but they won't like it. Lots of
pundits will look back on our
1997 municipal election and
express a wide range of views
from the "the best in a long
time," to "the worst in a long
time," to "an election with hope."
They'll bemoan the innuendoes,
the marketing, the baiting and the
campaign schemes and they'll
feel cheated by the lack of serious
discussion.
Elections happen and we deal
with them, we can't avoid them
that's the democratic way. Its a
way where you and 1 can register
our dismay or our happiness with
the wav our elected council has
represented us. Where
conventional wisdom sees
distress, voters should see hope.
There is no better wav w here the
people can collectively and
democratically voice there long
held opinions and exercise their
voting power, that for some
cleanses the sins of government
and for some affirms the
status quo.
The newsgroups have always
been obligated to report the truth
about politics. Politicians make
the news and the newsgroups re-
port the news. There is no other
way. When the news reported is
critical of council's performance
the finger will be pointed and
the requisite accusation levelled.
Whatever the report the people
of our town will have an oppor-
tunity to be informed. Without
reporting, would the people have
been informed of the misdeal-
ing at Ontario Hydro, the
potential of huge tax increases
that may be caused by the
downloading of costs to munic-
ipalities required to support a
me_a cit\ and Provincial social
programs" Would council have
published their financial
ineptitude and openly detail for
the public million dollar lost in-
vestments, half million dollar
overpayments and double pay-
ments for services to the town'
Unfortunately municipal elec-
tions usually bring out the same
numbers in terms of voters while
politicians and their spin buds
hold the line for their candidate.
Through a friend of a friend of a
friend their reputation is validat-
ed. The issues that have con-
fronted council and the manner
in which they have been dealt
with over the past few years
have created happiness, anger.
sadness and confusion. The
people of Pickering have every
reason to be confused with the
performance of our local
government.
Political revolt rarely makes an
appearance during election
years. In fact on -the contrary,
voters almost never turnout en
masse to object to the way local
government has governed. This
time decisive change is not far
off. It's hardly a prediction to
suggest that there will be at least
three new faces on council this
term. Voters simply need to be
ready to build something more
honourable in its place.
Finally let Election 97 be re-
membered for this: That it was
the beginning of a new direction
with lots of hope and with lots of
support from the people of
Pickering.
Mad as Hell at Ontario Hydro
by Julian Larne
Da,.c Demerino is mad as hell, and
he's not going to take it am more.
The object of his ire is the running
fiasco at the Pickering, Nuclear Gen-
eratin_, Station. H ith nc�k unit shut-
downs. heavv water leaks. damnine
internal indictments and subsequent
coverups almost a dailvoccurrence
throu_h the late summer and fall.
Calm and reassuring in his style
throug"t the revelation.%, Demerino.
a well-known businessman changed
his style in the past few months, and
is winning a few more points from
his judges; especially those living in
the shadow of a nuclear power plant.
Ihmerino was at his best during re-
cent ►nter\iew s for kxal media, as
well he attended several council
meetings in the past two months
where nuclear issues were front and
centre. Polished and relaxed. De -
merino made it clear his town wants
the problems at the nuclear plant
cleared up.
The anger is there, however, with
the last straw coming after a docu-
ment was leaked to the media in Au-
gust on the sop state at the Pickering
plant. the latest in a series of damning
reports on the plant. That the report
was kept out of the public's hands
for four months by Ontario Hydro
was had enough, but that Ontario's
Energy and Environment Minister
Norm Sterling publicly admitted the
report wasn't important enough to di-
vulge, that was too much.
It's atx)ut time that the province im-
mediately initiate a public review of
the plant.
Hydro boss Carl Andognini, who
paid a visit to Pickering Council re-
cently, was non -committal, howev-
er, and Sterling has yet to even
respond to letters written by the
mayor more than three months ago.
,Demerino encourages council not
to give up, though. On the bal-
lot on November 10 will be.a
demand for a review of the
plant. If enough Pickering vot-
ers respond positively to the
referendum question, Sterling
and Andognini (if he's still on
the Hydro payroll) will have to
take notice.
Demerino, continues to fight
for answers. -
Pickering has been through
the ringer before (1996 was not
a good year for problem -
plagued Pickering Council) but
came out relatively unscathed,
Demerino's business experi-
ence should help guide Picker-
ing residents through the latest
meltdown from the Pickering
nuclear plant as well.
Relieving Moderate
Depression with St. John's Wort
by Dr. Daniel J. Crisafi
PhD., ND., MH
(NC) -Minor and moderate de-
pression is a disorder that is
usually considered as a disabling
problem and a nuisance at best.
In many cases, physicians will
try to recommend methods of
managing the depres-
sion, such as relax-
ation or ps-v- i
chotherapy. In
many other's
cases, pressed N�
by the patient's
perceived ur-
gency, physi-
cians will recom-
mend antidepressant
drugs.
These antidepressant
drugs will act on one
of several factors that
affect the brain's bio-
chemistry. The drugs,
which include fluoxetine, amit-
rypltaline and monoamine
oxidase inhibitors, though
sometimes quite necessary, are
associated with various side
effects such as anxiety, sleep-
lessness and nausea. Further-
more, these drugs can cause
various levels of addiction.
Recent research has demon-
strated that an herb, St. John's
Wort, can be used as an
alternative in alleviating minor
to moderate depression. The
plant, which has been
documented in traditional herbal
references for over four hundred
years, has been shown to be as
effective as several pharmaceu-
tical antidepressants in the minor
to mild cases of depression.
In one study published in Ger-
many (Phytomed 1:3-8, 1994),
where the Herb's standard-
_r--_ ized extract is one of
the most pre-
scribed anti-de-
-� pressants, the
., standardized
herb was ef-
1 fective in
65-80% of pa-
tients. These are excel-
lent results when we
remember that antidepressants
are effective about 60-7511c of
the time.
Though probably not suitable
in cases of severe depression,
the use of 300 milligrams of St.
John's Wort, standardized to
0.3% hypericins, three times
daily, was shown to be both
effective and virtually free of
side effects when compared to
all standard anti -depressant
drugs. For my patients that suf-
fer from moderate to mild de-
pression I recommend Quests
Standardized St. John's Wort as
it contains the quantity and qual-
ity of the active ingredients, 300
mg at 0.3% hypericin, that the
major studies have used.
Your Money
Personality Matters
(NC) -Psychologists who study
financial behavior talk about a
money personality or "money
self' that's as much a part
of everyone as tl
physical, social or
emotional selves.
Think of it this
way: Maintain a
good diet, exer-
cise and sleep
enough, and you'll
likely feel good and
maintain reasonable
health. Understand your money
self and balance your spending,
saving and investing habits, and
you're on your way to achiev-
ing satisfying financial health.
Psychotherapists and financial
consultant Olivia Mellan says
most people exhibit a mix of
money behaviors. Some typical
types identified by Mellan in-
clude hoarder, spender, money
monk, avoider, amasser and
worrier. Mellan
says there's no
"right" type,
and that "if
your money
type doesn't
bother you or
others around
)u, you don't
have problems."
Mellan's insights into fi-
nancial behavior -along with
some exercises to try in "balanc-

On November IOth the
people of Pickering will
have been heard. The
election of course is what
most cynics would have
you believe is the only
time we can collectively
have an impact on the
events that will shape the
future of Pickering.
There are probably 1001
stories left untold about
events that have taken
place over the last term of
our governing council and
a 1001 more that will
come about after the elec-
tion is over. Sooner then
they want and surprised
as they will be. 1001
issues will present them-
selves to a new council.
Those councillors who
are luck,, enough to have
retained their seats on
council this next term
should feel like they just
won a lottery.

bered for the Brock West

For Furnace Owners,
It's Check Up Time Again!
(NC) -it may seem that winter
just melted away, but before
long it will be time to fire up the
furnace again. That means a
quick inspection of your oil heat-
ing system is in order, says
the Canadian Oil Heat
Association.
-We inspect our automobiles
annually, yet many people don't
consider having a furnace check
up, although we probably
depend on it more." says Asso-
ciation president John Butt. Any
home owner whose furnace has
broken down on a -32°C night
can tell you it's worth the effort
of having a check up before the
cold weather hits. "He says that
the annual inspection is not an
expensive venture, and is usual-
ly covered in an oil dealer's an-
nual service plan that customers
already pay for. Most inspection
calls last less than 30 minutes.
and involve a thorough cleaning
of the unit. The burner, controls
and hot water heater are tested,
and the oil tank is carefully
inspected. These minor adjust-
ments can mean increased
efficiency and reduced costs.
Additionally, for maximum
efficiency and safety, Mr. Butt
advises consumers to check their
furnace filter at least every six
weeks, and to have the ductwork
cleaned about every five years.
He also advises owners of
older oil equipment to look into
their options for upgrading.
"Some people may not need to
replace the entire furnace, but
just upgrade the burner (at a cost
of only about $800) to an effi-
cient flame retention head
model. This alone could reduce
fuel bills by up to 151,("."

The taxes we currently pay are al-

PICKERING NUCLEAR
PLANT - Ontario Hvdro is the sin-
gle largest employer in Pickering.
Their existence is important. but
we need the I OW'( assurance that
the generating plant is operated in
a total) safe manner with safe-
guards in place to ensure it re-
mains this way. No compromise
will be accepted. it was disheart-
ening to learn of the problems at
the generating station. particularh
when members of this current
council had been appointed as It-
aiu)n officials. It appears A)meone
was asleep for things to have got-
ten as far out of hand as they have.
FINANCIAL MISCUES - Pick-
ering, was plagued with problems
dunng the past three years. Surely.
the final responsibility must fall
on the shoulders of our elected
representa-tives. First there was
the admitted coyer up of the one
million -dollar investment loss
through the collapse of Confeder-
ation Life. Then nearly the same
amount -missed- during the bud-
get process. Then a contractor was
paid twice for the same invoice re-
sulting in an overpayment of half a
million dollars that is unlikely to
ever be recd\ ered.
The Council that each of us elect
must have the business sense to
avoid such costly mistakes in the
future.
It is early to sit back and criti-
cize. Far more challenging is to
become involved yourself and do
something about the perceived
shortcomings with our govern-
ment. I am pleased to see so many
candidates get involved. Get be-
hind a candidate who best reflects
your own views and get him or
her elected.

deal with the challenges that lie
ahead.
Pickering has been good to me.
Now it is time to put something
back. i have therefore allowed my
name to go forward as a candidate
for Local Councillor in Ward Two.
My business background and ex-
perience at both the local and re-
gional government level gives me
a great advantage in knowledge of
the job at hand and the issues fac-
ing Pickering over the next three
years.
The administration of the town
needs considerable tine -tuning to
become leaner and more efficient.
We must seek out additional ways
in which we can share essential
services with our geographical
neighbours. Our _,oal must be to
deliver quality services in the most
cost-effective manner.
in Pickering. it will be critical to
elect representatives with experi-

people who understand that we
must resist the unfair shift of tax
burdens from either the Province
or the new Mega City. Only with
capable and experienced repre-
sentation can we ensure that Pick-
ering 's interests are served and
Protected.
We will be facing major changes
over the next three sears, and we
need effective representa-tives
who can rise to the challenge.

Natural Approaches for Women's Health Care
(NC) -My wife likes to tell me
that women don't always have it
easy when it comes to health. I
believe my wife is right.
Because of pregnancy, monthly
hormonal changes, the perma-
nent hormonal change that
comes with menopause as well
as the stress of sometimes
having the double responsibility
of being a mother and a
provider, women often find it a
challenge to stay healthy.
Fortunately, there are a variety
of natural means to help offset or
compensate for the various
natural factors that can challenge
a woman's health. The oil of a
plant, the Evening Primrose, has
been used for decades to help
reduce both premenstrual and
menopausal symptoms. This oil,
Evening Primrose Oil, is the
source of a fatty acid, gamma -
linolenic acid, which has a role
to play in the body's production
of natural substances called
prostaglandins. The choice of an
evening primrose oil supplement
is very important. Ideally, the

Safety ... In and Around School Buses
(NQ -For many parents, their
child's first trip without them is
on a big yellow school bus, ei-
ther for the daily trip to and from
school, or on a field trip. It is
often difficult for parents to give
up control and let a stranger take
responsibility for their child's
safety.
In Ontario, about 800,000 stu-
dents use school buses every
day. Studies have shown that
travelling by school bus is 16
times safer than travelling in the
family car.
While injuries and fatalities in-
volving school buses are low,
they do at times occur. These oc-
currences often take place out-
side the bus when children are
getting on or off the bus or are
crossing the street. To avoid
mishaps, adults and children
should learn the correct proce-
dures and proper behaviour in
and around school buses.
To get on the school bus, chil-
dren should:
• he at the sc:h(x)l bus stop on
time
• �ti alit in a safe place well back
from the road
• w knothe danger zones
around the bus where the bus
driver cannot see them
• poet on the bus in single tile,
holdinro onto the handrail
• find a seat right away and re-
main seated
• face forward in their seat
• make sure there is nothing in
the aisle
• obey and not distract the bus
dri ver
• not throw things,
eat, drink or be rowdy
• keep heads and
arms inside the bus.
When leaving the
bus, children should:
• realize that they are
too close to the bus if
they can touch it
• stay away from the
road and not play on
snowbanks
• not pick up some-
thing they drop near
the bus because they
may be out of sight of
the bus driver: ask for
assistance from an
adult.
Adults should meet
children on the side of
the road where the
bus stops. If children
must cross the road,
they should:
• \,+ alk ten big steps
in front of the bus,
make eye contact
with the bus driver

Yokohama Introduces the AVID Family of Tires ()U10
(NC) -The AVID (Advanced
Vehicle Integrated Design) fam-
ily of tires, introduced by Yoko-
hama, is ideal for those con-
sumers who demand excellent
vehicle control, ride comfort and
handling at an affordable price.
Backed by one of Canada's best
consumer assurance programs,
there are three radials in the
AVID line: TC320, a premium
touring tire with a 13000 km
or 5 year treadlife warranty: T4,
apremium sport -touring radial
with a 100,000 km or 4 year
treadlife warranty: and the H4, a
high performance tire.
Yokohama's consumer assur-
ance program
In order to give drivers peace
of mind, Yokohama has created
one of Canada's best consumer
assurance programs. The AV 1 D
family of tires is backed by a 24 -
Hour Roadside Assistance Pro-
gram. With every set of four
AVID tires comes a 24 -Hour
Roadside Assistance Card.
Should a tire become flat, dri-
vers can call the Yokohama hot-
line, and a service professional
will install a spare tire free of
charge.

on coping with what may
be winter's worst menace -

Before driving in winter
conditions, the AAA sug-
gests motorists check, or

Plus Plan provides a free re-
placement tire for any defect in
material or workmanship for up
to 5 years from the date of pur-
chase.

used to produce the AVID m-
clude:tnput System: Based on
extensive analysis of the road
surface and its effect on tire per-

from the ice and snow and
produce an exothermic re-

melt ice and snow. As a
result, the product works

example, rock salt starts
losing its effectiveness

7uC, but Driveway HEAT

Rick Johnson
in Pickering
Seeks Fourth Term
Ward 3 Regional Race.
Pickering - Regional
Councillor Rick Johnson has
officially announced he will seek
a fourth terra for Pickering's
ward 3 in the November 10
municipal election.
"I'm proud of the work i've
done in the past nine years."
says Councillor Johnson, "and
want to continue the fight for a
better, stronger Pickering."
Councillor Johnson points
to the closing of the Brock West
Landfill Site as a major
accomplishment during his last
term2- "We now need to look at a
four -stream curbside collection
system, "he says. "Diversion
from landfill can only be
successful with that." A four -
stream system would see
garbage and recyclables
collected at curbside on
alternative weeks.
"i've voted against tax
increases for the last nine years,"
says Councillor Johnson, "and
I'm determined to control
spending and provide relief for
Pickering taxpayers."
Coun. Johnson also worked
closely with the province to have
Highway 401 expanded to 12
lanes to Pickering's Brock road
and continues to work for major
east -west corridors. Other
infrastructure accomplishments
include the completion of
Regional Road 5 and the
Taunton/Steeles connection.
Quality of life for Pickering
residents is important to Coun.
Johnson. "The Pickering
community Youth Park is only
one of the several new parks that
help ensure Pickering remains a
great place to live," he says,
adding that the traffic calminu,
efforts in many communities
and the addition of by-law
enforcement officers contribute
as well.
"We need and additional ice
pad immediately in Pickering."
says Coun. Johnson. "Our
compressors can handle a new
outdoor pad that would be open
24 hours a day for a pleasure
skating. it could also be used in
the summer for roller skating
and other sports."
The pad, adds Coun.
Johnson, could be built on land
adjacent to the Pickering
Recreational Complex.

Headquarters at 426-6996 or

THE ELECTION
Pickering Regional
Councillor, Ward
Ward 2 Regional Councillor.
Doug Dickerson.
will be runnings in
the upcoming
municipal election.
He is seeking to
be returned to the
position he has held
since January 1996
following the
untimely passing of
Regional Councillor
David Farr.
Dickerson still
believes the Province should
amend the Municipal Act to allow
for direct elections by residents
rather than restricting the selection
process to appointment only in the
case of Regional Council
vacancies.
Councillor Dickerson stated
that he is proud and satisfied that
the ambitious agenda Councillor
Farr had established for Ward 2
has been completed.
He stated that he is also very
satisfied at the long_ list of
accomplishments in his own right.
The restoration work on the bridee
at the fort of Liverpox>l Road and
the commencim_ of the walk -way
component.
The Campbell/McPherson
stone house removed from neulect

ork and invest.
Dickerson. a resident and
owner of a business in Ward 2 for
the past twenty-six years, brings a
wealth of lifetime experience to
the table.
He believes that now is not
the time for on-the-job training.
The changes to the way
municipalities will conduct
business and the programs being
down -loaded announced, or being
contemplated, by the Province and
scheduled to kick -in January I sy.
1998 means experience will be
required to run the operation as
professionally as possible.
"if you want to hold the
Province in check on any given
item, you had better first
understand intimately the nature
2
and the make-up of the various
levels of
Doug Dickerson
,,overnment says
Dickerson.
"Secondly. you need
to understand the
workings and
capabilities of the
Town and the Region
to respond effectively
to those changes.
i have gathered
the knowledue over
my many years in public and
political life which serves me well
in responding to issues raised".
While Councillor Dickerson
states he is opposed to the
collective pooling of taxes across
the entire GTA for welfare
purposes, he wonders if it is not
better to keep it centered in
Toronto where the staff and the
infrastructure are already in place.
"To move all welfare
programs to the 905 area code
municipalities will mean a
duplication of costs - duplicated
costs which i believe the Province
is trvrng to avoid". says
Dickerson.
Councillor Dickerson is
pushing for the renovation and
expansion of the East Shorc
Comtnunity Centre heeause of its
growing importance and use by
numerous groups and residents
alike. As Chair of the Building
Committee. he would like to sec
the work continence early in the
next term and �_uide it to
completion.
His efforts to hold Ontario
Hydro's board of Governors and
the Pro,.incial Enervc Minister
accountable have already opened
up communication and funding
necessary to help re -build public
confidence. The Energy Minister.
Norm sterling. was relieved of his
Hydro responsibilities in last
week's cabinet shuffle.
Dickerson's other duties
include being an active member
of the Pickering Library Board
and serving on the Durham
Region Planning Committee
where he has completed the
steering through of Pickering's
new Official Plan which will
guide our development in the
years to come.
.Doug states that he is looking
forward to the many ensuing
conversations with constituents
over the campaign period and
seeks the support of Wad 2
residents.
