In his opening speech, candidate Hayden went on the attack and described himself as not being a businessman or newspaper owner with no business experience. Demerino a local businessman was under attack for his interests in several local business'. Demerino was asked about his ability to manage his business interests and responded that, "A good businessman will hire the best mana,,ers he can and empower them to make the right decisions. You consult with them on a regular basis and you provide guidance. advice and support. You succeed where others fail." Mrs. Dianne Kerr asked John Hayden. an Ontario Hydro employee and radiation safety trainer, how he could represent Party Politics by Kip Nan Kempen oters go to the poles for one of Jh, most important elections in rec: nt times. In Toronto, the new Meta City chief will be crowned. Out here in Pickering and Ajax it may be the last time we go to the poles to elect separate govern- ments as amalgamation seems inevitable. Even Pickering Mayor Arthurs has done a complete 180 -degree turnabout. On the town on Hydro matters. He was asked pointedly. "Would his employment with Hydro require him to declare a conflict of interest on every Ontario Hydro issue before council?" Havden was evasive and uncertain responding, "Ontario Hydro pays me. but they don't own me." eventually admitting that he would have to declare a conflict of interest on some issues. According to Wayne Arthurs. Hayden would have to declare a conflict of interest on every issue before council with regard to anv Ontario Hydro subject. At best Hayden is minimally informed on the Municipal Conflicts of interest Act The 'Municipal Conflicts of interest .act is to be interpreted in the broadest terms in order to prevent an elected official from influencing the decisions of council. Any perceived conflict of interest must be declared as sown as he becomes aware of a question before the town. This interpretation prevents the elected official from not only voting on the issue before council, but it precludes him from even discussing it in advance with any one of the other elected officials. He must not attempt to influence other elected officials. On all Hvdro issues, Hayden would be handcuffed and would be unable to participate in council or represent the people of Ward 3. Hayden tried to explain the circumstance away by attempting to include another local Ward 3 candidate David Pickles in his own predicament. Pickles is a policy advisor with the Ontario Government and on some matters such as downloading of social services to the town, Pickles might find himself restrained from voting or discussing issues with other councillors under the same rules as Hayden. Glynwilliams suggested that his work in the health care field has prepared him to deal with Who are they trying to help? subject, only three short years ago he, opposed any thought in this re_ard now he acts like it has been his platform all along. Are we ahead or behind the times when we deal with munici- pal politics` And more importantly, have we learned any- thing from the lessons taught us by others. Over the vears, "party politics" has crept its wav into municipal government in T(;ronto. To mam observers this trend has shaped the city in a way that has actually hurt the city. The NDP backed candidates at city hall supported, extravagant "subsi- dized" housing projects which were built with taxpayer money, at costs well beyond what free enterprise could support. bong time Councillor Jack Layton called one such building home.

The last thing we need are our local tough issues. Paul Pistritto told the meeting that as the brother of the past Ward 3 incumbent and because of his daily contact with customers as the operator of a vegetable market he would be well prepared to represent Ward 3. Demerino made no apologies for his contribution to the community as an employer providing jobs to local residents. In an interview at the conclusion of the meeting Demerino wondered why "businessman" (there are five running for coun- cil) seemed to be singled out for special attention. "Businessman is not a dirty word, it ably describes me and hundreds of others. whether they are working at small home business's or large corporations. We take initiative and we struggle day to day making decisions that we hope will improve our lives and the families and workers who depend on us. Maybe the people at Hydro need a good businessman considering they iayton took advantage of subsi- dized housing. it became appar- ent that the needs of the city took a back seat to the party politics of the various candidates. The Toronto Olympic bid was submarined by the influence of party politics with little or no regard for the positive benefits it would bring to the city proper. Out in the burbs we have been relatively free of party politics at a failed at safety. they lied about leaks and they're broke'? I'm not embarrassed to say I'm a businessman.

This seems to be changing. At least one of the political parties has attempted to turn loose its election machinery upon voters in Pickering. Using lists of its party faithful a telephone blitz and door to door canvassing seems to have focused not on the candidate but rather their party affiliation, and this has one resident Andrew Cobean hopping mad.

No: 1209821 My Views 4 November 1997 • The Durham Sun Kip Van Kempen Election time is only a few days off and Monday. November I (hh each of the voters will have their say in "hiring " the government then want at a municipal for the next three vears. Each of the candidates deserves high marks for putting their names forward to give the voters a wide choice especially in Pickering. It is interesting to note some of the wild claims that candidates both new and old have made in their election literature. Some of the more interesting ones come from local councillors who claim to have a role in provincial health care. One incumbent even claims to have arranged more policing. This is especially interesting since the entire police budget is handled at a regional government level not a local Pickering matter. Another hopeful overstates that his experience conveniently omitting it was some i5 years ago he served on council. The uniformed voter has to sift through all of the wild promises and �_lossv brochures to make the correct selection. if this wasn't enough we then have to deal with the mudslinging and the negative campaigning. At a recent "all candidates " meeting one candidate used his entire time allotment in a feeble attempt to berate and single out one opponent (in a f -candidate race). When will candidates learn this is about the major issues that face Pickermi-, for the next three vears and even more importantl\ who is best able to deal with the issues. Rather than the Durham Sun choosing or recommending specific candidates we thought it might be useful to provide voters with a yardstick that they might use or modifv to help select the best candidate for any seat or position. Modify your checklist however you wish with additional criteria that you consider important. Experience I can tell you first hand there is no training manual provided. all successful candidates will immediately upon election be asked to prepare the annual Sof) Inilliun budget ,deal with spend- ing decisions , road work projects and land use planning issues. Does the candidate have the political experience or business background to make a positive contribution'? Past Performance — Is there a track record" Was it goxxf' What other solid experi- ence does the candidate have and will it helps him or her does the job. Voters should think of the task at hand as one of hand picking or interviewing the senior Board of Directors for this multi million -dollar corpo- ration. if you wouldn't hire them then don't vote for them. What is the candidate's motive'? It may not be apparent but what is the motive for the candi- date seeking office') Are they in need of the job') Do they want to serve the community'? Do they have another agenda'? Personal Knowledge Do you know the candidate and i(so can you honestly say he or she is the best for the job'? Election signs mean little as far as support is concerned. 1 can remember counting a candidate's signs and found he had actually hundreds more signs than he received as Votes. Do people sav good things about the candidate you are considering'? Have you ever heard about the person prior to election time and will you hear from them after'? Ask those who follow the issues. Ask a neighbour who has followed local government for an opinion. Ask staff that may have worked with any of the candidates. Is a political Party Pushing a candidate') Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts on this matter but ask yourself if you want to see party politics at a municipal level. Do you want a candidate whose first priority to his or her political party of preference or to the people they are elected to represent'? Get out and vote. it is appalling that only one in four eligible voter will even bother next ;Monday to cast their vote. In some parts of the world people still yearn for the right to democracy. if you don't vote and Vote wisely you will be sure to get the government you deserve. In Pickering you have one vote for rnayor, one for regional councillor and one for local councillor plus the vote for School board trustees depending on where you direct vour taxes. a,K (OPEN TO THE PUBLIC �0 VI -1 RIM \I)\ EMBER H S'I' %R'1'1%(. 111:31 AM \ IIEWI \G 9:INIANI 54 \It RRAi' RO %D.

EMAIL INFO@+GTA-AU CTIONS.COM Resident Kip Van Kempen Warns of Possible Danger Ahead! Mr. Cobean feels as a Pickering taxpayer that it is very dangerous for voters to support party politics in choosing their candidate. He questions where a Councillor who is supported and backed by a political party will stand if and when the "party" position has an impact on the local area. If the c:_ouncil member is supported by a party how will he deal with the inevitable conflicts that will present themselves. Cobean asks. If the feds wanted to move on the airport lands, build a prison or fund infra structure projects how would a Councillor react. Would he support the party for fear of damaging his future or would he support the will of the local residents. The party supporters say this won't happen. Those who share Cobean's view point to the reluctance of parties both provincially and federally to have their members vote freely in the legislature. Many taxation changes will affect us all. Cobean feels that the last thing we need at the municipal level are representa- tives that are more interested in Ottawa or Queen's Park than their local residents. He certainly intends to vote on November I Oth. Who you vote for is your business but he hopes voters will not choose a "puppet" who may have his strings pulled At a recent All Candidates meeting one council hopeful. Mark Holland simply refused despite repeated questions to identify his employment background. Only after being pressed, did he admit to being an employee of a local MP. When other potential candidates are barred from seeking elected .office because of their employment in the public sector, it seems odd employee of an " permitted to seek office. er candidate who is a officer is in hot water � employer over his invol in the election. Why is for an employee of an MP but not a police officer" In Pickering, one major issue has been the safety of the Pickering nuclear generating station. If the residents vote as we would expect and demand a review of the safety of the plant, how will a candidate vote if it requires action that may go in the face of his party's political Position, To vote against his parties position could be difficult - to vote otherwise would be like treason to the local residents. Cobean ponders why any candidate would want to get into this position of conflict. Another candidate hopeful, John Heydon, is employed in the safety area for Ontario Hydro. Alreadv he is being asked about how he will be able to deal with apparent conflicts with respect to the generating station. One solution proposed by a resident is to have the candidates Durham College Gift & Craft Sale November VA & 20d 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 2000 &MmQ Street North. Oshawa A great place to do all your. .

He is delivering his FOR ITS 50th The Durham Sun • November 1997 message to warn voters of the dangers that he sees with this trend. He feels voters should have this information and then make their own informed decision.

"I tound out I wasn't ecru making hospital expenx, " new with bright ideas backed up with solid experience. Recently i spent a Sunday visiting the home owners living in the new development south- east of Brock and Concession 3. known as Buckingham Gate. By chance i happened to be there on the day the residents had organized a community meeting to discuss the development to the south of their new homes. Cec. one of the home owners invited me to the meeting taking place at his neighbour's home that afternoon. When i left this meeting i knew that the reason 1 am standing for election was because of people like this. Their genuine and sincere desire to find a reasonable and fair solution to the impending development. mirrored my feelings and attitudes towards all the problems facing Pickering. It was so encouraging that 1 knew that i could really help these people and people like them in all parts of Pickering. If i ever had doubts of running for public office. meeting and listening to people like Cec. Lisa and Lee and the many others who attended that meeting, dispelled those thoughts forever. This chance meeting was confirmation enough for me that I could have an impact on the issues facing the people of Pickering and that i had to stand up and make animpact. i thank those people more than they can thank me. i attended a fire fighters retirement dinner recently and i had an opportunity to meet some of the other candidates running in the different Wards. What i discovered is that they are for the most part dedicated individuals who are serious about the issues. They really believe in their quest. I admire their dedication and their desire to do something for the commu- nity that out weighs the cost. personal. physically. financial- ly and Intellectually. Most seem driven to solve not only small problems for their neighbour- hoods and their town, but they are intent on being part of a process that solves the larger issues facing Pickering. They are ladies and gentlemen. luonne 71oau-sfil s/ (C cul - %n s C)e1'( 've _42C'. The Beauty Centre kclaxer - Perri, • l .i!, • < • i I, A ear e, • Braid, • ('•i I.

The grumble amongst them 1s that party association leaves an unsavoury after taste. Mind you there isn't anything unethical. untoward or immoral about lining up with a provincial or federal party. but the consensus is. party politics doesn't belong in municipal politics.
