NURCH 4, 199" 1 000 10 f Pickering expected to hold the line on taxes PICKERING -- There'll be no increase in Town taxes for Pickering residents this year. if the budget approved by Pickering councillors Friday is ratified at a formal Council meeting. Mayor Wayne Arthur noted the tax freeze -- the fourth in as many year -- has been achieved with- out dipping into Town reser%es. -We will incur no debt. we will do no horrow- ing and we will have no tax increase." Councillors defeated motions to delete new automatic vote tabulators from the budget, and to make a donation of $25.(KX) to Ajax -Pickering General Hospital. Under the draft budget, Pickering will spend about $36 million in 1997, the same as in 1996. Even though there will he no tax increase, growth will bring increased residential and com- mercial tax revenue for the Town of about $30().(()0.

On the buseso : Keeping kids safe in Durham BY CHRISTY CHASE STAFF REPORTER Safety is of the "utmost importance" to school bus operators in Durham Region, says the operations manager of one local transportation firm. "We're carrying the most precious cargo," says Susan Pollard, of Durhamway Bus Lines, based in Oshawa. "It's not wood or metal. We carry chil- dren. I have two of my own. Safety is of the utmost importance to us." Durhamway handles about 128 routes for the Durham Board of Education and Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board, using large and small buses and vans. Other school routes are contracted to Laidlaw Transit and Stock Transportation Ltd. Managers say the firms are required to meet strict regulations from the Ministry of Transportation before they are allowed to bus school children and to be able to continue transporting them. "The standards are really quite strict," says Stuart Salt, manager of service part- nerships for Stock, which runs 120 buses of all sizes for the boards in south Durham and 160 buses in north Durham and Victo- See STRICT/page 4 INSIDE Shotgun Wedding? - Ajax and Pickering; councillor, share their views on the poten- tial for amalgamation between the two towns - page 8.

Durham Region Roman Catholic Separate School Board trustees spent $19,857.65 on mileage, con- ferences and expenses in 1996, down from $26,000 in both 1994 and 1995, reports board chairman Tom Old - man. Just over $10,000 was spent on conferences and expenses, the rest on mileage and phone expenses in 1996. But that's still not good enough even though it shows they are serious about putting more money into classrooms, Mr. Oldman says. " I challenge the trustees to get the expenses down even further. - Trustees are paid mileage to and from meetings and have their conference regis- trations paid out of a central fund. Their conference expenses are paid from indi- vidual allowances, set at $1.050 for a trustee and $2.100 for board and lan- guage section chairmen. Only French language sec- tion trustee for Ajax. Picker- ing and Uxbridge Samuel Montas went over that amount, submitting confer- ence expenses of $1.129.55 He also picked up $1.851.92 in mileage (including in conference registrations, putting him in the lead of expenses at $3,548.97. Oshawa trustee Joe Corey easily had the lowest expenses. He filed no claims, not even for mileage. Catholic trustees arc also checking to see if they can allocate their allowances for classroom expenses. Last year, Mr. Oldman used close to $2(X) from his expenses to pay for religious books for a school library. At the Durham Board of Education, two trustees. Kathleen Hopper and Mike Nicholson, both of Oshawa, have yet to use any of the $4.250 each trustee is given for conference expenses over their three -near term.

"If they were as strict with transport trucks. they wouldn't have any wheels flying off." But local school bus compa- nies exceed those regulations in their drive to make vehicles as safe as possible for students. managers say. The tninistr\ requires drivers to receive 40 hours of trainine. says Mr. Salt. The firth follows that revulation with the majority of the drivers' training tittle spent behind the wheel. Driven must also take a def'cn- siye dri\ing course once in their careers to meet ministry regula- tions. But Stock insists drivers take this c\en two \cars. Mr. Salt says. Ms. Pollard says Durhatmya\ drivers must retake their training and dcfcnsi.e dri- ving courses if there are com- plaints or if theN are in\olvrd in an accident. Laidlaw vice-president Glen Needier says drncrs must attend one safety workshop each \car and the firm holds several other saf*ct\ meetings throughout the year. The Province also requires each driver to complete a circle check of the bus each day before starting the route. "It's law. They can be fined if they don't," Ms. Pollard says. Drivers walk around the bus, checking_ lights, looking under the hood, thumping inside tires to sec it they're inflated properly, look- ing underneath the bus for am problems. They also check the interior, opening emergency win- dows and doors and making sure buzzers go off when these arc opened. When the visual inspec- tion is finished, the driver must sign a ministry -issued log book. Buses arc also put through a number of mandator\, inspections each year, two for general safety (cycr\thing but the brakes) and one for the brakes. Buses that pass are issued stickers which must he put on a window. Mr. Salt says. "That is all that is required. But all our \chicles are scheduled in at least four times a year." And if problems develop between inspections. buses are pulled from the road and fired. sa\ s Terry Fitzpatrick. general manager of Stock's Pickering division. All problems are entered into a computer program. A mechanic must check off the work done before the bus is released. "We can't miss anything." he says. "Nobody can say they've forgotten something." He says every time a bus is in the shop. it's checked for safety. "The ministry's requirement (for inspection) is every six months." says Mr. Needier, of Laidlaw. which runs 75 Charter - ways buses out of Ajax and 85 Laidlaw buses out of Brooklin. "N\,e're at least every three months. A"e're transporting chil- dren. In fact, we're actually mov- ing towards every 45 days "The idea is the sooner you sec them, the more often you can catch something before it hap- pens. Durhamwav also pulls in buses for regular inspections more fre- qucntl\ than is required by the ministry, FIs. Pollard says. "We have a large garage. tour hays. lots of mechanics. M'e're here in the morning before the buses go out on their routes. There's never a day when there's not a bus in the shop for regular maintenance," she says, adding parents arc free to stop in and check things out for themselves. Susan Pollard, operations manager with Durhamways, says sur- prise spot checks are conducted by provincial transportation min- istr} officials. She also mainains the Durhamways fleet is checked more frequently than required by the Province. Ministry officers arc allowed to inspect buses without warning_ whenever they want. "They can come anytime. They don't warn you. If you're running a good operation, you don't have to worry." ;lis. Pollard says. Public schools reminded to use Mr. Salt says all commercial vehicles, from transport trucks to school buses, have Commercial Vehicle Operator Records, kept by the ministry. He says anyone can check out these records. School vans approved bus firms in wake of field trip W i�orb � Bl CHRISTI' CHASE S7AFl REPOR 17FR Durham Board of Education schools have been reminded to use only hoard -approved school bus companies to transport stu- dents on field trips. Business superintendent Ron Trbovich says he sent an e-mail to all schools last Friday to empha- size the% are to select buses from a list of companies that have already been screened and approved by the board. The action came one day after a nine -,ear -old bus, contracted b\ Exeter High School to take stu- dents to Pearson International Airport, was pulled off'. the road by police for safety deects. The vehicle, which police and Min- istry of Transportation official,; say had brake defects and jammed emergency windows among other problems, was on its way to pick up the students at the Ajax school. It was not licensed as a school bus, although it was permitted to transport students on field trips. However, the company was not one of the firms on the board's list. "This is such a vital part of our service," says board chairman Ruth Ann Schedlich. "We want to make sure we have reliable and reputable firms. We do have an approved list. They are A-1 quali- ty. " "The issue here is if you stick to the list, we're going to be just fine," says Mr. Trbovich. "I can't stress enough that schools are required by the board to only use approved transportation carriers. All of these carriers meet ... our safety requirements. They all fol- low...the same stringent process- es. Board transportation manager Carol Johnston says companies approved by the hoard have to carry $10 million in insurance, have vehicles no older than seven years old and meet Ministry of Transportation regulations regarding safety and mainte- nance. These regulations include mandatory driver training. daily checks of vehicles. inside and out, by dri\en. and a regular inspec- tion schedule for safcts and brakes. The ministry sends the hoard reports on all required inspections and firms are required to send reports on any accidents within 2.3 hours after they occur, Ms. John- ston says. Three of the approved firms, Stock Transportation. Laidlaw Transit and Durhamway Bus Lines, have contracts with the board to handle the daily trans- portation of students to and from schools. Also on the list are smaller operators which meet the require- ments but don't have contracts. such as Classique. Trentwao. - Wagar and Chartcrwas s. no%s owned by Laidlaw, Ms. Johnston say s. The firms used by the school board are well known to Ms. Johnston, who has worked in the transportation department for 25 years. Those firms have worked with the board for the same amount of time. "We really haven't had any problems with our operators," she says, adding all have good safety records. She says there were problems with another firm several vears a210. but that firm is no lunuer working with the hoard. Schools bus varus used to trans- port wheelchair-bound students to Durham schools are being checked in the wake of last Thursday's fire in Ajax when a disabled Pickering teenager was removed from a smol- dering vehicle moments before it burst into flames. "Everybody's looking at the type of vans being used," says Carol 'Johnston. transportation manager for the Durham Board of Education. "Everything will be evaluated" In Thursday morning's fire which toyed a Laidlaw Transit school wheelchair van, the driver and another woman were hailed as heroes for [rescuing the sole passen- ger, a 17 -year-old girl on her way W special -needs classes at Ajax High School.

"All I'm wing to do is defend my actions," she says. "I have to say something." STAFF- REPOKn:R PICKERING -- Ward 2 Regional Council- lor Doug Dickerson is trying to mislead con- stituents with inferences he has made in his newsletter about Ward 2 local Councillor Sher- ry Senis' position on a Town purchase of park- land, she contends. Coun. Senis took the unusual step of mak- ing a public statement at last week's meeting of Pickering Council's executive committee to set the record straight. "I find it ironic that a non -elected member of Council would comment on facts he was not privy to at the time and would then twist the facts to confuse the public to suit his purposes," said Coun. Senis in her statement. At issue is Coun. Senis' position on the purchase by the Town of the former 2.5 -acre Port Pickering Marina site on the east shore of Frenchman's Bay. The deal was recently closed for $900,W0. In the win- tcr 1997 issue of his Inside Ward 2 newsletter. Coun.

Coun. Scnis says the newsletter insinuates she supptmed paying $1.25 million for the property and that it was Coun. Dickerson's efforts which led to the departure of tlx: Primrose. "I, Sherry Scnis, never supported paying any amount over $900.(XX) for the McKean (marina) property at any time and can verify this," Coun. Sent: stated Monday.

As evidence of Coun. Senis' support for the higher price, Coun. Dickerson points to an Aug. 8, 1995 in -camera resolution by Council instructing staff to prepare an offer for $1.25 million, which he claims Councillors Rick Johnson and Maurice Brenner have told him she supported. (Coun. Dickerson was only appointed to Council in the spring of 1996 after the death of Ward 2 Regional Councillor David Farr.) "Unless someone has specifically called a recorded vote it is deemed all members of Council were in favor of it," adds Coun. Dick- erson. Coon.

LIS 2H5 • Publisher: Tim Whittaker ♦ Editorial Holding the line It's been a tough stretch. In the midst of massive provincial reform, funding cut- backs at the federal level in the name of deficit reduction. fierce political in -fighting over the future of the Greater Toronto Arca, it string. of important municipal accom- plishments here at home have gone virtuall,, unnoticed. In Ajax. Town councillors have passed their fourth no - increase budget. The news is the same at the Town of Pickerint', where staff and councillors arc recommending a budget which free/es the municipal portion of residential tax bills for the fourth strai_:ht .ear. For that. we can all he grateful. In this era of belt tight- ening and dwindling aid from higher levels of govern- ment. our municipalities have heeded the call from tax- payers and have dome their jobs accordin_k (notwith- standim, last .cars hudgctm2 blunders at the Town of Pickering ). Indeed. some services have been reduced alone the way here as c.er.where else. but the impact has been. arguabl\. quite negligible. Its notable that the one place tax -weary residents have been able to look for a reprieve, after being hit hca.il\ by other levels of government to the past three %ears through cuts and reduced transfer pa} ments to local levels, is their municipal tax hill. Along the wa\, we were all swept up in the hysteria surrounding the federal deficit hatile. the Greater Toronto Area amalgamation, the provincial government's fabled tax cut (among other things), and forgot about the effect of good government here at home. At the ver,, (cast. it makes a compelling case for the need for local government in the communities we call home. But. let's give credit where it's due. Councillors have worked hard on our behalf to provide some relief in recent years. It's a welcome balm in a time of great unrest.

L IS 2H5 v Letters to the editor Clearing up Girl Guides cookies story To the editor: In response to your article 'Girl Guides divided by peanut allergy warning', I would like to share my concerns about the facts of the article as a Girl Guide leader, a parent of an anaphylactic child, and the Ajax Activator for the Allergy/Asthma Information Association. My first concern is with the state- ment "the cookies are made in the same plant that produces peanut but- ter cookies, though not the same line" The following day I contacted Christie's who provided product and manufacturing information which contradicts the above statement. I was told that the Girl Guide cookies are produced on a line that produces the Pirate Cookies which contain peanut butter.

I helped to create the petition referred to in the article: no where does it say "demanding". It states, "We the undersigned want all Girl Guide cookies made totally peanut and nut - free. Only when this happens may everyone participate in the Cookie fund-raising campaigns, including the allergic." We realize this is not a small task, and we are trying to be reason- able. The larger issue is that a more proactive approach could have been taken by Girl Guides of Canada to inform the sellers of these cookies about the ingredient disclosure ahead of order taking and blitz time. My main objective is to protect the allergic child. Sharron Braybon9 Ajax The News Advertiser accepts letters to the editor. All letters should be typed or neat- ly hand-written, 150 words.

Carl Andognini doesn't think the public should he allowed to see peer evaluation reports on its nuclear stations because we might misinterpret them. Isn't it mind-boggling how often the people who run governments and public institutions try to persuade us it's in the public interest to keep information about public atfain front the public'? Obviously, it has nothing to do with their wanting to keep to themselves any embarrassing evi- dence of how they're not running things as well as they should be. In this case Mr. Andognini is main- taining the peer evaluations — which provide some hair-raising details about the lax attitude toward safety at Ontario's nuclear plants — are misleading bexcausc they focus on problems and say little about the things routinely done well. The implication is we're collectively too stu- pid to take that obvious fact into account. The other concern frequently voiced by Hydro and other public officials is that 'sensitive' information has to be kept secret because, if it's not, the mcxdia and 'interest groups' will 'distort' it and poo- plc will be 'unduly alarmed'. Again, the implication is we're too thick to take what we see and hear with a grain of salt and decide ourselves how to interpret it. It seems we're always expected to keep our noses out of things we're told we don't understand and leave them to the powers that be. Trust the expert% and professionals, we're told, it's for you're own good. But we've tried that much easier route and been burned. We trusted them on thalidomide and DFS, on DDT and Love Canal. We trusted them to protect our blood supply. We trusted them to run our nuclear plants properly. Ontario Hydro fought the release of the peer reviews all the way to the Ontario Court of Appeal. Hydro officials and other folks who supposedly run things on our behalf would undoubtedly like to run them away from the glare of public scrutiny. It would make their lives easier and more comfortable. But as the peer reviews indicate, some have been too comfortable too long. Marianne Takacs writes in our Tuesday rotation of staff columnists.

Pickering has asked Ajax out for a date. a date that could eventually lead to holy matrimony between the two Towns. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs. as head of his family, has suggested that he and Ajax counterpart Steve Parish should start a courtship that might eventually lead to a long-terni relationship. The other mcm- hers of Mr. Arthurs' household -- his col- leagues on Pickering Council -- ��,int the courtship to he a lengthy one before they consider a long-term future with their friends from Ajax. Ajax politicians have spurned Pickering civic leaders, saying they want to remain single forever. They doubt that a union between the two Towns could ever he a relationship of wedded bliss. Will Pickering continue to come calling on its neighbor to the easy' Will Ajax kcrp playing hard to get'? Or, will the Province force a shotgun wedding'? Nobody knows just Yet. We spoke to civic leaders in Ajax and Pickering for their thoughts. Pickering's Mayor Arthurs believes the two Towns should bek*in planning for a merger now rather than waiting for the Province to force them into some arrange- ment they don't like. "My personal view is that the time for consolidation of the Towns of Pickering and Ajax for the purposes of municipal administration and governance has come." Ajax's Mayor Parish says he hasn't seen evidence that an amalgamation would save money. He doesn't buy into the theory that 'bigger is better and will save you money'. He also believes Ajax is efficiently run and says. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." ru, NIAL RICE BRENNER, N3'ARD 1 REGIONAL COUNCILLOR If amalgamation hap- pens. it should be a "natural progression resulting from Ajax and Pickering gradual- ly joining forces to provide services. Amalgamation will happen if it's meant to hap- pen. I know that sounds like a cliche. but it's true.

Johnson i-, against amalgamation because he thinks it would be a lousy deal for Pickering. Ajax is "debentured to the hilt. Their infrastructure is a lot older than the infrastructure in Pickering. The burden on Pickering taxpayers will be too great in any form of amalgamation ... I don't see any advantage to having just Ajax and Pickering merge, or just Oshawa and Whith-,. I think we %c eomc past that ,,case atrc.ikk NV'ARDS 1 AND 2 REGIONAL. COUNCILLOR ROGER ANDERSON' "Personally. I can't sec the residents of Ajax or Pick- ering amalgamating. I can see Ajax and Pickering doing things better, joint ventures at a cost savings to residents. That's what they like to see. Individuality, history, each municipality is different than the other." NNARD 3 LOCAL COUNCILLOR JOE: ATKINSON "I don't like the concept of an Ajax and Pickering together if it's at the expense of 'community' in Ajax. It's incumbent on us as council- lors to sit down and discuss it. To do otherwise would be abdicating our reslxmsibili- ties as elected officials." NVARD a LOCAL, COUNCILLOR PAT BROWN "I'm really not interested at this time. I'm interested in partnerships to lower costs (such as the recent merging of Ajax and Pickering Handi- trans operations under one roof), but certainly not amal- gamation. The people I'm speaking to around the com- munity aren't interested. It will cost us a lot to lose our heritage. If it's the will of the people, that's what we will have to do, but it's not the will at this time." ENRICO PISTRITTO, WARD 3 LOCAL COUNCILLOR He's open to the idea of amalgamation but has con- cerns about it, particularly if it means bigger wards and fewer councillors. "The beauty of the present system is people have the ear of the politicians and are able to influence what is happening in the community. This cut- ting politicians is the wrong area of emphasis because what you're doing in reality is cutting the service and the representation people have." SHERRY SENIS, WARD 2 LOCAL COUNCILLOR "If we don't make some inroads, the Province will do it for us." She is particularly worried about Queen's Park attempting to push Ajax and Pickering into some kind of mega -city together with other Durham municipali- ties. "I don't think that would necessarily be best for the residents of Picker- ing or the residents of Durham. The geography is just too large and unwieldy." DAVE RYAN, WARD I LOCAL COUNCILLOR "I don't think it's some- thing we should be charging ahead on with unseemly haste. I'm not anti -amalga- mation. I just want us to do the job properly for the right reason, which is the better- ment of the community as a whole." He expects greater savings would come from elimination of duplication of services such as planning approvals between levels of government. WARD 2 LOCAL COUNCILLOR SCOTT CRAWFORD "I haven't given it a great deal of thought. The present government in Queen's Park may not be around in three years, given the mandate they've given us. (When the provincial government announced it was merging municipalities in Metro Toronto, it gave communi- ties around Metro three years to review amalgama- tion.) I will support it if it's forced upon me, but Ajax is still Ajax and Pickering is still Pickering." WARDS 3 AND 4 REGIONAL COUNCILLOR JIM MCMASTER "I don't have any interest in amalgamating with Pick- ering. I'm interested in part- nerships with Pickering or Whitby or the private sector. I don't see any great advan- tage of amalgamating just to amalgamate. Prove to me there's massive savings. I don't see any reason for it. With amalgamation, I don't think any proof can be shown it will save money." WARD I LOCAL COUNCILLOR FRANK SCHAPER "Financially, wherever we can create efficiencies is excellent and we should do that. Joining another com- munity, I'm not in favor of that. This is a viable commu- nity, Ajax. It's an efficient size and it operates efficient- ly.*.

Dunbarton Spartans volleyball girls headed to provincial PICKERING — The Dunbarton High School Spartans senior girls' vol- leyball team conquered the local competition at the regional championships Monday to earn a berth in the provincial showdown in early March. The Spartans swept Bowmanville High School in the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) championships in the minimum two games 15-11, 15-9, at Dunbarton. Spartans' coach Jim Higgs says his charges' aggressive, disciplined play gave them the edge over a fine Bowmanville team in the final. "I thought we played really well. We were men- tally tough and just put too much pressure on them. I think our aggressive play championships was also a key factor." Bowmanville was a sur- prise team in the LOSSA final, having upset perenni- al powerhouse Anderson Collegiate from Whitby in the semi-final match. Although Dunbarton has been a perennially strong team in the senior girls' division in LOSSA, Higgs notes this year's title was somewhat unexpected as the team is an all -rookie squad with two starters in Grade 10 and three in Grade 11. The Spartans now advance to the Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Association (OFSAA) provincial cham- pionships in Kitchener March 4 to 6. Higgs expects his team to get a low seed- ing in the tournament, which will put the Spartans in a pool with some of the top-ranked volleyball squads in Ontario. The Spartans had a 27-3 mark in LOSSA play this season. Team members are Amy Bartlett, Beth Hurren, Carolyn Johnston, Denise Lebar, Jen Lewis, Lexie McKay, Sarah Middlebrook, Megan Slean, Laura Wells and Kara Worgen. In the midget girls' LOSSA championship, also played at Dunbarton, Ajax High School defeated Henry Street High School of Whitby in straight sets. Meanwhile, Anderson Collegiate Raiders of Whitby were the champs in the junior girls' final, defeating Oshawa's O'Neill Collegiate in straight games. P orts News Advertiser Rags to riches: Once -pitiful Pickering Panthers now a powerhouse of junior loop BN A1. Ri i:rr ,1")Rlti R11'tiRtt R PICKERING — The 1996-97 regular ,,:.uon %+111 long by known by the i'i: kering Panthers' organization as a ,%atershed Near for the club. The Panthers have put togeth- r the best regular -season larnpaign in the past decade. and will see their first playoff action In several years, break- ing a losing, tradition which had plagued the club through most of the *80, and well into the '90s. The Panthers broke the 70 -point threshold with their win over the Oshawa Legionaires Tuesda,, night. The 70 points are more than the Panthers have recorded in the past three regular sea- sons combined. During the 1995-96 sea- son, the Panthers finished out of the play- offs with a mark of 14-32-6 for 34 points. In 1994-95• Pickering was dead last with a record of 10-38-2 for 22 points. The year before that, the Panthers again finished last In their division with a paltry II Points. Panthers' head coach John Blackburn feels the emergence of Pickering as a league power has much to do with owner Michael BoNer who assumed control of the hockeN club two years ago. A, well, general manager Ron Blizzard has put the right people on the team's staff and has attracted quality players. "Mr. Boyer and Ron Blizzard have been doing a good job. I credit Ron for letting everyone do their jobs. He hasn't put any restrictions on us. Things around this orga- nization are so positive. I think we've made great strides over the past two years." While the team as a whole has excelled this season, individual players have also stood out. Mike McCormick and David Cornacchia were two of only four tier II junior players to play with the gold -medal winning Team Ontario at the world tourna- ment in Alberta in December. Cornacchia, a defenceman, and McCormick, a centre, are also expected to be chosen in the first two rounds of the Ontario Hockey League's Priority Selection Draft at Maple Leaf Gardens in June. In addition, forward Derek McNamara is rated in the second round, centre George Trifon is touted as a third - round pick and right winger Eric Thomson is expected to go in the 10th round. "Everyone is hoping that all five play- ers go in the OHL draft," says Blackburn. "For recruitment purposes, to say we had five players chosen in the draft would be a real nice thing to have." As well, five players on the Panthers roster are being recruited by U.S. university hockey programs for scholarships. Blackburn says dcfcnceman and team captain Richard Spooner is a lock to play south of the border next season. Cory Hass, Paul Webb, John Cartile and Paul Howes have all attracted the attention of the U.S. scouts through the course of the season. "There', been lots of interest by U.S. scouts in our players." notes Blackburn. The Pickering Panthers' last regular -season home date of the season is a re- scheduled game against the Aurora Magna Tigers.
