Tom Ed- wards, who is chairman of the W.F.D. this year, also has nothing but praise for the men who man the fira engines. He paid special tribute to the volunteer firefighters which has become the backbone of the full-time division. - "The value of the Whitby Fire Depar- tment arises from the tically ail our fuId-time staff have servad in one capacity or another as a volunteer. "This," he continued, "lexplains the tremen- dous co-operation and efficiency of Our firefighting personnel, both fuil-time and volunteer." He is also proud to serve as the depar- tment's chairman "at a time when the town has such a wealth of ex- perienca and commit- tment in its fire depar- tment." 103 Dundas E.

" Mis brother, Don, is also a member of the department, serving as the district chief for Brooklin. And for Capt. Bob Vesey, winner of the Edward M. Crouch award as the ful-tima fighter of year says that for hlm, "its the ex- citemant and the challenge. Every day it's different." He's been a fuil-timer for 15 years now but before that, the 50-year old* Brooklin resident was a volunteer for 10 years. Before becomning a fulI-t me firefighter, he was a carpentar - a trade he's put to good use around the station house. According to Deputy Chief Tony Van- doleweerd, Vesey remodeled both the dispatcher's office and the crew's ktchen, jobs that could have cost the department a con- siderable amount of money. Vesey also put together the depar- tment's Christmas parade float, which the deputy chief says was one of the best the W.F.D. bas every had. in giving the awards, VanDoleweerd said that the department looks for men who not onîy give their aIl as DR.

Phone: (41665588886 Open Tu rsdays until 8:00 p.m. Speaking to You By SCOTT FENNELL, MP f r.1(PC - Ontario) For those of you who are wondering if an agreeable solution will ever be reached concerning the lands around the Pickering Airport site, the agreement signed only last week by Public Works Minister Roch LaSaHle, and representatives of the Mirable farmers, should be reassuring. The expropriation at Mirable, as many of you will recail, wiped out a town by the same name and about 80 per cent of the prime farm land ex- propriated was neyer used for airport purposes due to the low levels of business. The unused land represented approximately 400 homes, 276 barns and 48 commercial buildings destroyed by the previous government to make way for the airport. 1 arn delighted that our new government has had the opportunity to finally attend to the mess created 16 years ago by the Liberals. Actually, the dlean-up process started back in 1981, when I, as opposition critic for the department of public works, went to our caucus with a plan that involved selling back 80,000 acres of the expropriated land. Caucus endor- sed that plan and later 1 presented it to the Quebec Parliamentary Commission in 1982. This policy is the basis of the settlement announced Iast week. The agreement gives the original owners of the land first buy-back rights at 15 par cent discount on current land prices to make up for the social and economic disruptions tbey experienced. These far- mers stayed in the area and fought for the right to have their lands back for 16 years. They have won a long and hard fought battie. 1 sincerely believe that undoing these problems which we inherited from our predecessors, is a great indication of this government's dedication to making meaningful progress in the management of government. Please ba assured that we are now working on a plan which will equitably resolve the Pickering Airport issue hopafully by early faîl.
