May 24, 1999 PICKERING be O Off To Switzerland On Garbage by Gay Abbate Three regional politi- cians are going to Switzerland to learn about recycling and how to get rid of garbage. Durham Regional Coun- cillors last weep voted to spend more than $25,000 to send five people to a con- ference in Europe. At the same time they were be- moaning the necessity for this year's 19% tax in- crease and its impact on the poor taxpayer's hard hit pocketbook, and lamen- ting how the province is partly responsible for not giving the region enough money to provide the ser- vices the public wants. Two senior staff will also be go - mg on the trip. The Waste Minimization sad Clean Technology Coo- ference runs from May 29th to June 1st and includes tours of cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Councillors were mixed about how many should go to the conference but when the vote was taken the ma- jority opted to send five people. Oshawa Councillor Jim Potticary argued it was un - portant to send staff to the conference because Durham needs to pick up the same information as Metro Toronto in order to stand up to it. Oshawa Councillor David Conway said he doubted politicians would get anything out of the technical conference. Whit- by's Joe Drumm said the trip would be perceived by the public as a jaunt to Europe on the public trough. Learning Disabiides Assoc. Meets The Learning Disabilities Association of Ontario, Oshawa Chapter will hold its regular mon- thly meeting on Thurs. May 25th at 7:30 p.m. at the Whitby Public Library, Jackie McBlaine, oc- cupational therapist at the Oshawa General Hospital, will speak on "Sensory in- tergration". The association is a sup- port group for parents and adults with learning disabilities. Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings. For more details call 623-4934.

Bramalea Plants More Trees In late January, many Pickering residents were upset when Bramalea limited, upon the town's request, removed an even line of 25 mature willow trees along Whites Road. Previously, Bramalea Limited has worked with the town and a landscape architect in an attempt to preserve the trees but they were found to be unhealthy and diseased. Pickering Parks and Recreation spokesman Everett Buntsma told con- cerned oo-cerned residents that the "willows were in a serious state of decline" and that some trees were "rotten in the centre and were losing As a goodwill gesture, Brama es limited has in- itiated a transpiatin8 plan of 100 mature trees to replace the diseased willows and will carry out a year-long maintenance program (which includes special fertilizer and corts- tant monitoring) to ensure the success rate of the trees. These trees were to be cleared and destroyed from another property Bramalea was servicing, and Bramalea Limited recognized this as a unique opportunity to restore Whites Road back to its treelined splendour. Fortunately, the soil from both areas is compati- ble and the trees being moved are currently grow- ing in isolated areas, thus allowing for easy access and minimum damage to the root structure. Maureen McCauley, Manager of Engineering Services for Bramalea Limited, said "We have been able to salvage trees that would most likely have been destroyed. As well. we have created a beautiful streetscape along Whites Road returning the restored environment to the community_..

'fir MARTINO CHAPEL Giffen-Mack Funeral Home 4115 Lawrence Ave. E. 281.6800 Page 2 THE !SEWS, POST Wed. May 24, 1989 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Thanks Bob Nixon by Bob Watson The provincial budget handed down last week by Ontario Treasurer, Bob Nixon, is admirable in its attempt to balance the budget. But admiration stops at that point. Mr. Nixon, a non-resident of Metro Toronto and district, seems to believe that the 3 million folks in this area of the province should have to pay extra because we need more capital for roads, education and health. Apparently Mr. Nixon hasn't figured out that it is the Metro Toronto area which is generating most of the revenue he spends all over Ontario! Why should Metro folks pay more for a licence to drive a car in Ontario than a person in Timmins? This is inequality because a Timmins person could come to Toronto and use all of its highways and not pay the costs'. Come on Bob Nix- on - where is your logic? The sharing of all commercial and industrial assessment by both public and Catholic school boards sounds great for equality. However, the act which united Upper and Lower Canada did not allow for this and after millions have been poured into new Catholic high schools to house the same students who were housed in public high schools is surely a waste of much money at a critical time. The big error in judgment by Mr. Nixon is his attempt to have some equality in the payment of health care costs. Many people in Ontario have their health care (OHIP) payments paid by their employer, who then puts that cost into the price of his product or services and we all pay that cost. Those in small business couldn't handle this extra cost and paid their own. Now .lir. Nixon is going to put a 1% tax on pavroll for small business which will create real pro- blem for small businesses, who by the way, are the main ingredient in economic prosperity. We understand the treasurer's problem in financing On- tario's big costs in health care, roads and education. However, for years the gasoline taxes have been going into the general budget and paying for everything including health care. We hope that this budget doesn't knock economics in the Metro Toronto area dawn because the Ontario government is mostly financed by this area. Power Use Grows By %early Six Percent Ontario's electricity demtind increased by 5.9 percent in 1988 over 1987, according to Ontario Hydro's preliminary year end figures - Total electricity sales in Ontario in 1988 were 134.4 million megawatt -Muss, almost six percent more than the 126.5 million megawatt hours recorded the year before. On average, provincial customers are using 860 megawatts of electricity more each day. That is enough electricity to serve a city the sae of Hamilton Mitch of this increase can be attributed to growth in residential and commercial sec- tors. Ontario Hydro is working to curb the year over year in- crease in electricity demtaM through various programs, among them: promoting energy efficiency on fates, in Mmes, and in business and industry: reducing electricity use at costly peak demand times. Wort has begun in numerous areas and the corporation hopes to see results throughout the 1990s. On Helping Waste Dear Sir: I like to think of myself as a law abiding citizen, but the other day I felt inclined to take the law into my own hands. ..Stop the car." I said to my husband "and let me tell that person what I think of her." He didn't stop but the discus- sion on certain facets of what makes an orderly society has continued ever since. I can see the papers this individual scattered, floating m the sidewalk in Kingston Rd., ( near Cliffctest Plaza) and wondered who was going to pick them up. Foolish me for wondering about the cost of collecting all the rubbish people thoughtlessly scatter about. Foolish me for wondering if our children are taught about such niceties as respect for our public places - foolish me for wondering if we adults are showing a decent example for them to follow. Next time you drop a cigarette butt, or casually toss a candy wrapper, remember that in the end you pay .. and then we grumble about increased taxes.

Virtually no one, it seems, was immune from the all-out tax assault launched by Fuumce Minister Michael Wil- son and his government. According to John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Fed- eration of Independent Busi- ness, there are no winters from this budget. For examplq as tax- payers begin to grapple with the immediate hard-core reality of higher taxes, he says, the small business community has been given a reprieve of little more than a year before it will face a tax complexity of unprece- dented proportions: the all-new goods and services tax. Bulloch is worried that the advent of this new federal sales tax will provide Ottawa with a new and controversial numbey generating machine worth liter- ally billions of dollars each year. Rather than tightening their own belt, he says, the govern- ment has opted to let Canadian taxpayers shoulder the burden of their deficit reduction respon- sibilities. (Under Wilson's recent budget, for example, taxpayers will be responsible for approxi- mately 75 per cent of the defi- cit reduction costs. At the same time, however, Ottawa will con- tribute just 25 per cent in the way of spending cuts.) " CF1B ooncerns about the gotxh and services tax are: e that the paperburden component of this new tax will be a nightmare for all small firms. If the exemptions pro - Posed in Wilson's budget remain intact. small business owners (already swamped with government red tape and paper - burden) can expect to sink evert further in the quick -sand. The new two-tiered sales tax requi es business to forward the differ- ence between the tax levied on sales minus the tax levied on purchases. The compliance costs, Bulloch says, will slam retailers who lack the cash registers to administer both a federal and a retail sales tax sys- tem e%pecially hard: e that it will provide this and future federal govemmenLs with an ever-present money genem- tor. As a source of extra m+enue, the goods and services tax is expected to provide the federal government with an extra S2.5 -billion in revenue for every one per cent increase in the tax rate. Bulloch likens this "togiv- Here and There Speed Sport At CNE The 30th Speed Sport Super Street Nationals will be held at Exhibition Ptace. May 26 through 28.

For operation during 1988, Unit 6 at Pickenng is tied for first place with the U. S. nuclear reactor St. Lucie 2 in Florida. Both units operated last year at loo percent of their maximum electricity production capacity. In lifetime performance. another Pickering tacit ranks first. Unit 7 at Pickering has operated at 89.6 percent of its maximum electricity capacity since it went into service in 1965. Two hundred and seventy-two world reactors generating 500 megawatts or more were included in the rankings done by Ontario Hydro. Except for Yugoslavian reactors, those of the Soviet bloc are not part of the data. ing away the keys to the candy store" that the new tax will have a negative effect on the rate of inflation. Some experts are predicting a three per cent increase in the Consumer Price Index by 1991, the year the goods and services tax is introduced; e that the tax will hurt our tourist sector. Although benefits will fall to manufacturers and exporters, jobs will be lost in the more labor-intensive service sector; e and that consumer pur- chasing will also be hurt by the implementation of this tax. The impact of reduced consumer spending is bound to be felt in the overall health of the economy. If the finance minister's recent proposals are any indi- cation of what small business can expect from the newly re- elected Tory government, the next four years could get down- right nasty.

Now, we have at hand his latest or at least the latest that's come to our attention. It's called The Demolishers and one has to think that Mr. Hamilton has lost some of his steam. The story, about which more later, is good enough but the expository passages of dialogue are almost dull. Dialogue is a legitimate though lazy way of advanc- ing a plot but it should bear some resemblance to the speech patterns of those 'in - valved. Matt Helm most certainly doesn't -sound" natural uttering such gems as "when the whiz-bang was put there for us. presumably by the CLL, it was set off by unauthorized visitors of some kind, maybe just unlucky burglars. After all. a house left standing empty that long. these lawless days, is asking for a break-in." Theesse lawless days?" Matt helm? This time 'round. Helm is out to avenge the death of his son, his oldest son, at the request of his (Heilm's ) estranged wife. "Kill them" she says. "Kill all of them." Kill them he does - that's standard for a Matt Helm -but not before all kinds of intrigue and derr- ing do imoiving third world countries and the like. It's sub standard Helm but what the hey' Lastly we have the fust in another proposed series about private eyes. This time it's a cat -no foolin'-named Manx Mc - Catty and it's titled -again, no foohn'-The Big Scratch. It takes place in San Francisco and deals with a mob of pts kidnapping female cats for sale overseas, presumably to cat houses. It's amusing for a while but eventually the tough jargon and references to cats becomes boring. Good enough book but even a cat lover such as your reviewer couldn't hack another. Mmm, wonder if an animated series might be in the offing. After all, it's been a while since the glory days of Ar- nold Stang and Top cat. Here's a brace of reference books for your attention.

We were much taken by the mote on Frederic Henry the principal of Hem ingway's A Farewell to Arms. He is described as disheartened by his own cynical escapism and haunted by life's emp- tiness. Hemingway did not say it better. The Paladin Dictionary of Battles by George Bruce (Paladin Grafton) is a fine and easy reference for amateur students of histon• and the battles that shaped it. Canadians wilTo be l be par- ticularly pleased by the two references to Quebec in the Seven Years War and to the battle at Queenston sure the book is rather specialized in its ap- peal but we recommend it for a place on anyone's reference. It's already on Upon This Rock The Life of St. Pieter by Walter F. Murphy (Ballantine) is a difficult book upon which to make L'arrnent. There's no question that it's good and very enjoyable; it's simply that one is hard pressed to know when fiction and fact overlie one another. The story of the Big Fisherman is about as well documented as that of any biblical figure but Mr. Mur- phy has taken the man well beyond the troubles por- trait of the fust Bishop of Rome. He has taken him and mase him the central figure in dispute over the divinity of Christ and whether or not we should be awaiting a physical return. Mr. Murphy would seem to think that Christ has always I'e[t1171ed, that He has, in fact, never left us, that those who believe have Him with them always. Did not the Saviour say that to is with us always' Have we given some idea of the problem facing an honest reviewer in assess- ing the value of such a boost? If so, we have no hesita- tion in recommending it for the sheer pleasure of reading it. Upon This Rock will, we believe, occupy a place with the earlier novels of Lloyd C. Douglas. Each must find in it what he will. All will enjoy it.

Jack Of Centennial Students' Hearts Centennial College teacher Jack Spohn is one of 24 Canadian instructors to be honoured at an inter- national conference in May. a mathematics teacher at Centennial for the past 23 years, will pick up his award at the 11th An- nual International Con- ference on Teaching Ex- cellence in Austin, Texas, May 21-24, Centennial president Bev McCauley says, "We are lucky to have such a distinguished and excellent teacher among us. For Jack, inspired teaching is the bottom line." Spohn says, "I don't know it all and I like to learn alongside my students. I recently discovered that I was un- familiar with some com- puter applications my engineering technology students were taking. So I joined my students, as a student, in their class." In 1987, Spohn was the first Centennial teacher to receive the college's George Wicken Award for Teaching Excellence. His insights on motivating students will form part of a book published by the University of Texas at Austin this summer. ( tr I ) Crop - Over Is Celebration This summer, from July comedy.

Seniors have become increasingly cohesive and proactive as a group. Therefore, I am very pleased that the seniors who have been meeting weekly at the Pickering East Shore Community Centre will now have a new Recreation Facili- ty. The Provincial Government recently announced a $228,333 New Facilities grant from the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. A group of 10 seniors first started meeting in 1974, accor- ding to John Neale, president of the South Pickering Seniors Club. "Now we have 157 members and more are joining everyday as the word spreads," Neale said. -The people of Pickering and Council have been very sup- portive of our efforts to raise money for the centre," said Neale. Personally. I am delighted to see this project come to fruition. My involvement extends back to my days as a municipal councillor when I helped kickstart the project. The centre has a multi-purpose hall, kitchen, games room, lounge and workshop. The centre will be open five days a week and means the seniors can get together for cards, bingo, darts, billiards. The workshop will be open for crafts. The kitchen will be used to prepare light snacks. Until now the seniors were meeting in the gymnasium of the East Shore Community Centre. 12 noon to 3 p.m., week- ly. They would have to set up their own tables and chairs for card games. The seniors first met in their new recreation on May 16, and the official opening will be held next month, on June 22.
