Holocaust resources
‘touch’ trustees
DURHAM —Public school
board trustees at last week’s
standing committee meeting
praised a Holocaust video and ac-
companying teacher resource
guide that local educators and a
student wrote.
Teachers Lynn Ibsen and Lisa
Wick, both from Exeter High
School in Ajax, along with educator
Garrett Metcalf of Henry Street
High School in Whitby, Bellwood
Public School (Whitby) teacher
Bruce Williamson, and O’Neill Col-
legiate and Vocational Institute
(Oshawa) student Jon Thompson
wrote the guide.
Toronto-based writer-producer
Tony Sheer created the ‘Family
Album’ video.
Lewis Williams, the board’s
race relations officer, told trustees
the team’s challenge was to “take a
very interesting video and convert
it into something teachers can use
to engage their students”.
“This document touched my
heart,” said Ajax Wards 3 and 4
Trustee Melinda Crawford.

Ajax man blocks
from World Trade
Center when attacks
occurred
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
AJAX —It was as close to
ground zero as David Mar-
quardt wanted to get.
The Ajax resident was nine
blocks north of the World
Trade Center last Tuesday
morning when two planes
slammed into the twin towers
just minutes apart.
Mr. Marquardt was in New
York working on at a commu-
nications contract for Bell
Canada when the incident
happened. He heard the first
explosion, originally thinking
it might have been a blown
transformer.
When he saw the look on
people’s faces, he knew it was
something much worse.
“People had a look of hor-
ror on their faces. Their hands
were over their mouths. I
went outside. I heard a bang
and thought a transformer
blew. I’ve heard that before,”
he said.
“I went outside and I saw
the gaping hole in the World
Trade Center. I went back in-
side and got my camera. The
crowd I was with thought a
plane had gone off course.”
After the second plane
slammed into the centre, peo-
ple “knew something was
planned.
“I thought it was a bomb
because I was on the opposite
side of the building. I froze. I
watched as both towers came
down.”
As the towers collapsed, he
remembers it not being very
loud.
“Surprisingly, no. It was
muffled, like snapping a
chicken bone. You could hear
a bit of a roar,” he said.
He said being north of the
site with the wind blowing
south probably kept the sound
down. Also, because of the
wind, not much dust came his
way.
As for New Yorkers, “they
seemed to know something
was up. There was defiance
because they knew it was a
terrorist act. They were all
sticking together, trying to
calm each other down,” Mr.
Marquardt said. “Where I
was, the FBI told everyone to
leave because there were gas
lines underneath and there
might be more explosions.”
Officials at the communi-
cations centre were concerned
because there were diesel
generators and they were wor-
ried about filters being
clogged.
With the roadblocks, he
couldn’t get too close to the
site.
Two days after the crash,
he got “closer to the devasta-
tion. I was able to see it with
my own eyes. It was incredi-
ble. You think it’s a movie, but
I knew it wasn’t a movie.”
New York is generally one
of the loudest cities, but in the
days after the blast, “all I
could hear were people’s air
conditioners. One thing I did-
n’t see were yellow taxis and
yellow taxis are what you
think about when you think of
New York.”
Also, fighter jets roared
overhead patrolling the skies
in the days that followed.
Mr. Marquardt went to a
second Bell Canada site in
Manhattan where he spent the
night. “The hotels were
booked and there was no
place to stay. I couldn’t get off
the island anyway,” he said. “I
was all alone. There were no
other Canadians with me.”
Of more immediate con-
cern was getting in touch with
his family, which took hours.
“My family and friends
knew I was in New York.
They tried to call me and I
tried to call them. My cell-
phone wouldn’t work.”
When he got to the second
Bell centre, he was able to e-
mail a manager in Denver,
who contacted his family.
His parents called his
brother in Vancouver to let
him know about the attack.
“He couldn’t go to work until
he heard from me.
Mr. Marquardt drove home
Saturday. It took him about 30
minutes to clear customs, as
he was told by an FBI agent
his licence plate was one
number off of a car they were
searching for.

Enrolment up, but there’s more space in Catholic schools
Durham board
finds relief from
overcrowding
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham’s
Catholic high school popula-
tion was up more than 5.5 per
cent on opening day.
But unlike previous years,
when the board struggled to
deal with severe overcrowd-
ing, new pupil places have im-
proved the atmosphere this
year for students, staff and
parents.
“To me it was almost a cri-
sis-type situation and we’ve
moved beyond the crisis,”
Grant Andrews, education di-
rector of the Durham Catholic
District School Board, said in
an interview. “We still have
some overcrowding... but I
would say it’s temporary in
nature.”
In a Sept. 10 report to the
board, he said the addition of
two new high schools, both of
which opened this month for
grades 9 to 11 students, at-
tracted more pupils than ex-
pected. Notre Dame Catholic
Secondary School in Ajax had
835 students on opening day,
while All Saints Catholic Sec-
ondary School in Whitby had
759.
As those schools came on-
line, much-needed relief came
to existing high schools in
Pickering, Ajax and Whitby.
First-day enrolment at St.
Mary Catholic Secondary
School in Pickering was down
more than 300 to 1,598,
dropped by almost 400 pupils
at Archbishop Denis O’Con-
nor Catholic High School in
Ajax to 1,175, and fell by
more than 500 to 1,397 stu-
dents at Whitby’s Father Leo
J. Austin Catholic Secondary
School.
Those numbers have
changed slightly as the school
year gets under way, but com-
bined with additions to the
board’s five other high
schools, three of which are
completed, there’s a lot more
room in Durham’s Catholic
secondary schools this year.
Mr. Andrews said the
board’s answer to accommo-
dation pressures over the last
few years was to increase the
number of portables and
reschedule the school day.
Now portables are being re-
moved and the “floating fifth
period day”, in place at all
high schools last year, is a
thing of the past.
“Over the summer we re-
moved 39 portables off our
high schools and there’s still
some yet to be moved because
in some cases construction is
still going on,” he said.
Whitby Trustee Mary Ann
Martin said the change at Fa-
ther Austin “is a very positive
one”.
Mr. Andrews the situation
at the board’s high schools
would further improve over
the next two years. Next year
the two new schools will open
to Grade 12 pupils, taking fur-
ther pressure off other facili-
ties. And the year after that,
Mr. Andrews said, the
Province moves to a four-year
high school program.

PICKERING —For a
half-hour every weekday from
1967 until the show’s final ap-

Ernie Coombs, a longtime

Hadley
inquest
begins
Oct. 22
Jury will examine
events leading up
to violent deaths of
estranged Pickering
couple
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM —A coroner’s
inquest will begin next month
probing the violent deaths of
Ralph and Gillian Hadley in
hopes of preventing similar
tragedies in the future.
Dr. James Young, Ontario’s
chief coroner, announced
Tuesday the inquest, sched-
uled to start Monday, Oct. 22,
will examine the Pickering
couple’s turbulent relation-
ship, their involvement with
Durham Region police and
courts and the events leading
up to their deaths.
Among the crucial ques-
tions for the jury to answer:
GILLIAN HADLEY
Inquest into murder case

Inquest
into Hadley
murder
announced
What more, if anything, could have
been done to protect Mrs. Hadley, the
35-year-old mother of three, from the
deadly wrath of her estranged hus-
band, Ralph?
It was a case that shocked this
community and sparked immediate
changes in the way police and courts
here deal with domestic violence
cases.
Durham Regional Police ruled the
deaths a case of murder-suicide, al-
though the coroner’s jury will ulti-
mately make a final determination.
As witnesses watched in horror on
the morning of June 20, 2000, a gun-
toting Mr.
Hadley chased a
naked Mrs.
Hadley from her
Hillcrest Road
home and
dragged her
back inside the
residence. She
first managed to
pass their 11-
month-old son
Christopher to
neighbours,
who struggled
in vain to wres-
tle Mrs. Hadley
from Mr.
Hadley’s grasp.
Once inside, he shot her to death, po-
lice said at the time, and then turned
the small-calibre handgun on him-
self.
At the time, the 34-year-old postal
worker was out on bail and under a
court order to have no communica-
tion with his wife, who he was
charged with assaulting on Jan. 31,
2000, as well as breaching a peace
bond.
Following his arrest he was re-
leased on an officer’s undertaking
with conditions not to communicate
“directly or indirectly” with Mrs.
Hadley.
On Feb. 25, Durham Regional Po-
lice charged him with criminal ha-
rassment and two counts of breach-
ing the non-association orders for re-
peatedly contacting Mrs. Hadley.
At his Feb. 28 bail hearing, Crown
attorney Frank Giordano opposed
Mr. Hadley’s release. Justice of the
peace Brenna Brown granted him
bail.
Mr. Hadley was released on
$5,000 bail with conditions that he
stay away from Mrs. Hadley, remain
at his parents’Scarborough residence
at all times except for work; stay out
of the City of Pickering and not use
the telephone except for employment
purposes, to call his parents or emer-
gency.
He was also barred from possess-
ing a firearm.
About 60 witnesses are scheduled
to testify at the inquest, expected to
last eight to 10 weeks.

ding day, shot his

Mr.
Dressup
dies
cial Save the
Children Award
in 1997.
Through 29
years and 4,000
shows, Mr. Dres-
sup developed
into a Canadian
cultural icon and
parents and chil-
dren alike valued
his laid-back
style.
“If you’re re-
strained, the kids
will come to
you,” he wrote in
his 1997 book.
“It’s easy to
throw something
at children and
know that they’re
going to watch it.
But ultimately
you’ve got to
recognize that
children deserve
to get some value
out of watching
it.”
Mr. Coombs’
wife Marlene
was killed in a
traffic accident
in 1992. He is
survived by his
three children
Christopher,
Kenneth and
Catherine
Minott.

ASK VIC THE PROFESSIONAL
QUESTION: The power antenna mast on my car will not retract fully when I turn off the car. What should I use to lubricate the antenna?
ANSWER: The antenna mast on your car should be extended fully and cleaned with a mild solvent. The mast should be retracted and
extended while cleaning, to dislodge any dirt particles that are trapped between the antenna sections. The mast should then be inspected
for any damage or bends in the sections of the mast that are binding. Telltale rubbing marks or small scrapes on the mast sections will
indicate where the sections are binding by interference. Small bends may be straightened by hand, saving the cost of replacement. Masts
are available separately from the antenna motor for some vehicles, but some are integral and are sold as a complete replacement unit. The
mast of the antenna should never be lubricated with any graphite based, dry spray lubricant. The graphite is conductive and will ruin the
reception of the stereo. Most manufacturers do not recommend lubrication of the antenna mast. If you feel that lubrication is warranted, a
silicone spray or ignition switch lubricant will work well. Engine oil or transmission fluid will lubricate well but will attract a large
amount of dirt. Always remember to lower the power antenna before entering an automatic car wash!

Local man taps business
contacts to raise $25,749
for cancer fight
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE

PICKERING —Sunday’s Terry
Fox Run could have been a disappoint-
ment — fewer participants and less
money raised than in 2000.
It could have, but wasn’t, thanks to
the $25,749 worth of reasons given by a
Pickering man fighting cancer in more
ways than one.
Terry Arvisais, 51, a Pickering resi-
dent for the last 19 years, was diag-
nosed with colon cancer in 1998, but
rather than it being the beginning of the
end, it signified the beginning of his
fight.
Mr. Arvisais was off work for six or
seven months as chemotherapy treat-
ments helped push his cancer into re-
mission and now he feels like one of the
lucky ones.
“I can’t say I’m out of the woods
yet, not until it’s been five years, but
this is my third year cancer-free,” he
said in an interview Monday. “I still
have a blood test every three months
and a colonoscopy every year.”
Mr. Arvisais said he feels lucky be-
cause his cancer was diagnosed early
enough to fight it and because he re-
ceived great support from local hospi-
tals and doctors.
As a result, he
decided to give
something back.
His latest
fight began with
a goal to raise
more funds be-
fore this year’s
run than the
total raised last
year. A buyer for
Wal-Mart, Mr.
Arvisais said he
started by ask-
ing his employer
if he could con-
tact many of the
vendors he deals
with to ask for
donations to the
Terry Fox Foun-
dation. He said Wal-Mart has a history
of community and charity support and
had no problem with the request.
With the support of those vendors
and Pickering residents, Mr. Arvisais
handed over a cheque for $25,749 to
run organizers on Sunday.
“Many of my contacts knew my per-
sonal circumstances and I found great
support,” he said. “I couldn’t have done
it without the help of a lot of good peo-
ple.”
Mr. Arvisais said almost everyone
knows someone who has been touched
by cancer personally. Sadly, his mother
died last year from complications due
to the disease and his father is still bat-
tling the bladder cancer he was diag-
nosed with in 1998.
“The last few years have been
rough,” he said. “I was just looking to
pay back all the great support I received
locally.”
Last year’s run raised just shy of
$22,000 and run organizer Sandra Arm-
strong said Mr. Arvisais’ donation will
push this year’s total up to over
$40,000.
As for next year, Ms. Armstrong is
hoping Mr. Arvisais will be back.
“They can count on me,” he said.
“This year, next year, and every other
year I’m available.”

Durham
search for
new HQ not
restricted to
Whitby
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham is going
house hunting.
The Region is issuing a request for
proposals for a new 300,000-square-
foot headquarters, at an estimated cost
of $50 million. The project would
amalgamate into one building regional
service offices currently housed
throughout Durham.
The decision by Regional council
followed recommendations from fi-
nance commissioner Jim Clapp, who
told councillors the Region would like-
ly be better off owning than renting.
“There are significant capital costs
we are faced with, major capital im-
provements in all the buildings” cur-
rently leased, Mr. Clapp told council.
In his report, the commissioner said
there were also added costs associated
with maintaining eight administrative
facilities plus the existing headquar-
ters, instead of one location. He sug-
gested $3.9 million in annual leasing
costs would be eliminated if a number
of the regional services were consoli-
dated into a single facility. That money
could be used to pay debentures on a
new owned facility, he said. The com-
missioner estimated the Region would
pay about $4 million a year in deben-
ture costs on $50 million.
The proposals may include contin-
ued use of the current regional head-
quarters at Rossland Road and Garden
Street or may recommend demolition
of the building.
One question still to be answered is
where the new headquarters will be lo-
cated. That was thrown up for grabs
after council approved a motion by Os-
hawa Councillor Cathy Clarke to con-
sider sites throughout the region, not
just the current one.
Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle ar-
gued the Region already owns the land
at the current site and that keeping the
headquarters there would ensure the
process wouldn’t “become a competi-
tion between communities”.
Clarington Mayor John Mutton
countered, “We own the land but we
might be sitting on an asset with a land
value that is extremely high. Land val-
ues in this location might be worth sell-
ing and then looking somewhere else,”
to build. He suggested a site in Cour-
tice near the proposed international fu-
sion research facility might be ideal.
However, not everyone is happy
with the shopping expedition, particu-
larly some members of Oshawa coun-
cil, including Mayor Nancy Diamond.
“I’m concerned members of council
think we’re just browsing, just window
shopping,” said the mayor. “Admit if
we approve this today we start down
the slippery slope.”
She noted York Region built a
building of similar size to what’s rec-
ommended just a few years ago. The
original estimate for the facility was
$47 million but in the end $86 million
was spent, said the mayor, who com-
pared this project to the Durham public
school board’s main office on Taunton
Road, dubbed ‘Taj Mahal’ by the pub-
lic.
“Ask people if they want roads,
water or if they want us to build a mon-
ument to ourselves. It would be a mon-
ument to our mismanagement,” said
Mayor Diamond.
A forced amalgamation may
change the Region’s capital needs, sug-
gested Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. “Is
part of this study to get any firm indi-
cation from the Government of Ontario
the Region of Durham will exist in
2021?” he asked. “I’m concerned
about an expenditure of this extent
when the (provincial) government is
being arbitrary and capricious in its
policies.”
In the end, the majority agreed with
Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt who
said, “I agree the cost we pay for facil-
ities is very important for taxpayers.
That’s why I propose to look at a way
to save them money.”
As part of Mr. Clapp’s report, staff
will conduct a more detailed ‘lease ver-
sus buy’ analysis to ensure the finan-
cial benefits do exist.

It’s been four years since the ‘A’-side reactors at the
Pickering Nuclear Generating Station were idled.
Millions of dollars in retrofits, upgrades and a criti-
cal review of operation later, and officials at Ontario
Power Generation are seeking approval to flip the
switch and return the reactors to service.
Not surprisingly, Sierra Club of Canada Nuclear
Campaign officials in Durham have claimed the envi-
ronmental assessment conducted in the interim was a
“whitewash”.
For their part, OPG officials have maintained all
along the assessment was thorough and complete and il-
lustrates their renewed commitment to safety and ac-
countability here at home.
The Sierra Club has an important voice, as it always
has, in the community as it relates to the production of
nuclear power in Pickering and Durham Region. Some
of the club’s rhetoric, unfortunately, verges on the hys-
teric and some of its demands are extreme. But it has
also proven itself as a worthy adversary of OPG.
Indeed, the Sierra Club chapter here (formerly
Durham Nuclear Awareness) has provided a voice for
thousands who live and work in the community and
who have legitimate questions about living in the shad-
ow of the plant.
But OPG officials have demonstrated in recent years
they are operating the nuclear plant with a new view to-
wards safety, accountability and accessibility — some-
thing the Sierra Club apparently will not concede.
The company has used considerable resources and
expertise in meeting its mandate to bring the plant up to
new standards.
And the arrogance of the past that characterized its
conduct with local politicians and citizens of the com-
munity, no longer exists.
This is a company that has worked hard to remake its
image not for the sake of remaking its image, but for the
sake of its belief in nuclear power as a safe and long-
term alternative to traditional forms of energy produc-
tion.
The views of the majority, certainly, would lie some-
where between the Sierra Club’s doomsday position and
the sunny skies belief held at OPG.
As always, we bear individual responsibility for in-
forming ourselves, learning about our corporate neigh-
bour and drawing our own conclusions.

Proud members of
Ontario’s Progressive Conserva-
tives have taken the unusual pre-
caution of leaving Premier Mike
Harris’s name off their signs in a
byelection and it shows how far the
mighty have fallen.
Tory candidate Mac Penney, a
veteran communications consultant
who should know what attracts vot-
ers, explained there was not enough
room to put his name and the pre-
mier’s on the same signs. It is to be
hoped he has more convincing ex-
planations when he tells his clients
how he spends their money.
Parties juggle around and use
names and labels on election signs
according to how much they think
it can help them. The Tories used
Mr. Harris’s name sparingly in his
first election as leader in 1990 be-
cause few would even have recog-
nized it.
At the start of the 1995 election,
which Mr. Harris won, he was still
little-known and when they used
his name on signs it was mainly to
distinguish his Ontario party from
that of the retired but still much-
disliked Conservative prime minis-
ter, Brian Mulroney. Mr. Harris’s
Tories, for the same reason, even
avoided putting the label ‘Progres-
sive Conservative‚’ on signs and
called themselves ‘Ontario PCs.’
But in the 1999 election, after
Mr. Harris had enthused many by
his tax-cutting, their signs every-
where identified candidates as part
of ‘the Harris team’‚ or urged sim-
ply ‘vote Harris’.
More recently in an earlier by-
election in June the Tories still used
Mr. Harris’s name four times as big
as their candidate’s on signs and
billboards, but were unable to hold
on to a riding that had been theirs.
Some in the party clearly have
now decided Mr. Harris’s name is
no longer an asset. The Tories are
low in polls, with only 35 per cent
compared to 50 per cent for the
Liberals.
One poll has shown Mr. Harris
running behind his party in popu-
larity, which is unusual. Premiers,
even when down, tend to have
higher approval ratings than their
parties, because many who object
to policies feel some sympathy to-
ward the personalities behind them.
Another poll in the four most
populous provinces — Ontario,
Quebec, British Columbia and Al-
berta — showed Mr. Harris as the
only premier who evokes more
negative than positive responses
from his residents.
Some of this is due to his ag-
gressive personal style. He has
been much more confrontational
than recent predecessors as pre-
mier, particularly in getting into
shouting matches with teachers
over changing the education sys-
tem and unions in whittling down
workers rights.
Mr. Harris could rehabilitate
himself before an election due in
2003, because he has strengths in-
cluding the fact many still like him
for his tax cuts and he can be relied
on to do most of what he says.
If he fails, it would be difficult
for the Tories to distance them-
selves from him, because in gener-
al elections almost all the media at-
tention inevitably is focused on
leaders.
Mr. Harris, also almost single-
handedly among its elected mem-
bers, resurrected his party from its
lowest point in history in the late
1980s, when it struggled at around
20 per cent in the polls.
Mr. Harris chose the backroom
team that put together the Common
Sense Revolution, the package of
policies mainly for cutting govern-
ment and taxes, and injected some
of his own views into it, because he
had long been a right-winger grum-
bling about his party being too far
to the left.
He embodied it well in the 1995
election, not with dazzling oratory
but with a clarity and decisiveness
that led many to understand and be
enthusiastic over it.
Mr. Harris is well-known for
running his party with a strong
hand and a small group of faceless,
unelected advisers and its policies
are almost all his, rather than cau-
cus’s.
He also is the best-known pre-
mier in Canada, according to the
poll that showed he is least popular.
His idiosyncrasies including his
golf and frequent absences from
the legislature are as much reported
as many of his programs. His party
is often called ‘the Harrisites’‚ by
opponents and news media.
A poll last month seeking to find
out how the public rates six minis-
ters seen as potential successors
found all but one — Education
Minister Janet Ecker, who also has
been in a lot of rows — so little
known most could not assess them.
Mr. Harris to most people is the
Conservative party — they are like
Siamese twins and it will not be
easy to separate them.
Harris IS the Ontario Tory party
Party will find it won’t be easy to separate these ‘Siamese twins’
Monday’s resumption of the House of Commons
was dominated by one item, naturally, as Prime Minis-
ter Jean Chretien spoke of our role in the coming ‘War
on Terrorism’.
Canadians — rightfully so — have many questions
about Canada’s position in any worldwide alliance
against terrorism. Our military, such as it is, will un-
doubtedly be called upon. However, just a few days ago
much-respected Ret. Maj.-Gen. Lewis MacKenzie said
we have virtually nothing to offer the U.S. in the way of
troops or material.
So what can or should we do? More answers to these
questions will come early next week when the prime
minister goes to Washington to meet with President
George W. Bush. Mr. Bush has clearly learned one vital
lesson from his father: how to manage a successful op-
eration in the Middle East, full of complications on all
sides.
The U.S. must first set up a firm multinational coali-
tion. To that end, Mr. Bush is meeting with British
Prime Minister Tony Blair and other allied leaders in
the next few days to make sure all are onside.
We must know exactly what it is we wish to accom-
plish, how we will proceed and what each country can
contribute to the cause.
In the meantime, though we can always do better, it’s
time to stop beating ourselves up over our immigration
and security policies.
The FBI has revealed there was no ‘Canadian con-
nection’ involved with the 19 suicide terrorists who
committed mayhem last Tuesday. Nearly all those who
hijacked planes lived in the U.S. for years, taking flying
lessons and living in American homes. We’re not above
criticism of course, but the United States must clearly
do a much better job of rooting out the enemy within.

Let’s not paint
everyone with the
same brush
To the editor:
As an American living in Ajax,
I would like to thank Canadians
for their sincere outpouring of
sympathy and offers of help for
the American people during this
tragic time. I believe I can speak
for all Americans when I say the
terrorists have united us as a peo-
ple more than ever and I have
great confidence in the future of
the American nation.
My concern at this time is not
only for the victims of the attacks
and their families, but it is also
for the Muslim communities in
both the U.S. and Canada. Un-
doubtedly, this must be a most
frightening and difficult time for
them, as many rush to blame
them.
It is, of course, ridiculous to
blame all Muslims for the actions
of extremists. Perhaps we can all
reach out and show a little extra
kindness to them at this time. Last
Saturday I called a mosque to
show my concern for the Muslim
community and the gentleman’s
voice, which was apprehensive at
first, turned to relief and then ap-
preciation. Please let’s show tol-
erance and avoid stereotyping.

Let’s protect
our rights and
freedoms
To the editor,
While watching the news last
night about the horrible tragedy in
the U.S., we were reminded about
Canada’s idiotic extradition laws.
Recently supported by a Supreme
Court of Canada ruling, murderers
can escape to Canada and not be
extradited if they face the possibil-
ity of the death penalty.
The Supreme Court of Canada
did cite extraordinary circum-
stances where the ruling might not
apply.
Knowing these bleeding-heart
liberal justices, who have already
let murderers stay here, those re-
sponsible for the hijackings and
murders could enjoy a lifetime of
comfort in our jails.
Now is the time for our federal
minister of justice, Anne McLel-
lan, to stand up and say this is an
extraordinary circumstance, be-
fore any cases come to court. We
already have one suspect in cus-
tody relating to the terrorist at-
tacks. Letting suspects sit in a
Canadian jail at the taxpayers’ ex-
pense is not my idea of ‘rights and
freedoms’. As well, we don’t need
a bunch of lawyers getting rich
protecting these terrorists.
If Ms. McLellan can’t say the
words “extraordinary circum-
stance”, then Prime Minister Jean
Chretien must force her to step
aside. Either way, we need the fed-
eral government of Canada to
show the world we are not a haven
for terrorists and murderers.

A friend to us
all passes on
Mr. Dressup, aka Ernie Coombs,
was a quality entertainer to the end
Children of all ages lost a touchstone to their youth on
Tuesday when ‘Mr. Dressup’, aka Ernie Coombs, passed
away after suffering a stroke. He was 73.
An American by birth, Mr. Coombs, who lived in Pick-
ering, appeared in over 4,000 episodes of the ‘Mr. Dres-
sup’show.
Along with his puppet friends, Casey and Finnegan,
and the Tickle Trunk — the source of his infinite costumes
— he entertained children each weekday morning for an
amazing 29 years.
From 1967 until he decided to retire the show in 1996,
Mr. Coombs would gently deliver his message of friend-
ship and fun. Children were encouraged to use their imag-
inations, as Mr. Coombs would transform himself into
‘Mr. Dressup’ in each episode. The native of Maine, who
became a Canadian citizen in 1994, was still doing live ap-
pearances as ‘Mr. Dressup’right up until the very end.
His irreplaceable love for children will be sadly missed.

Pickering residents will move the Earth — Ma-
chines that is — this Saturday.
Beginning at 8 a.m. at the City of Pickering’s
Esplanade parking lot, another 250 Earth Machine
composters will be on sale at the subsidized rate of
$20 to residents of Pickering. As well, free com-
post is offered to those who bring a shovel and con-
tainers.
So successful was Pickering’s May 26 sale that
all the composters, plus all of Durham Region’s
mound of free finished compost, were gone by
10:30 a.m.
“Last spring, people lined up as early as 6 a.m.,”
said Stephen Brake, the City of Pickering’s waste
management co-ordinator and organizer of the reg-
ular event. “As well, we sold 170 blue boxes.”
The steady stream proved people not only rec-
ognize the value of compost, but also indicated
backyard composting is something a homeowner
can do to help win the war on waste.
Now is a perfect time to begin to compost. After
you have found a suitable location in your yard to
set up your unit, start by depositing a layer of
leaves, twigs, or hedge trimmings. This will offer a
good base and provide some airflow before you
begin to add vegetable and fruit peelings. Continue
to add handfuls of leaves on a regular basis as they,
and other dry brown organic materials, will give
your compost the carbon it needs. It is important
you save a couple of bags of raked leaves, (I say
rake over gas-powered leaf blowers as those ma-
chines pollute more than cars) to add during the
winter months.
The green kitchen scraps give the pile nitrogen.
It is the mixture of wet greens and dry browns that
produces good compost. If you have a limited
amount of leaves, rip up some corrugated card-
board. Paper pulp egg cartons can go in as well.
Occasionally add a bit of soil. Do not add meats or
dairy products. Each composter will be accompa-
nied with all the information you need.
As the cycle of composting slows down during
the colder months, your composter may be full by
spring. However, during the first warm weeks, the
volume will shrink to half and allow you to contin-
ue adding materials all summer long.

Shelley-Anne
Brown builds her
track resume as
she eyes 2004
Olympics
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —It’s
been a short break from the
rigours of track and field,
but a long summer of ac-
complishment for a Picker-
ing athlete.
“It really has been worth-
while,” noted University of
Nebraska Cornhuskers ju-
nior Shelley-Anne Brown,
who started back into train-
ing Monday after a well-de-
served three-week sojourn
from her specialties —
sprinting and hurdling.
“Around the end of June my
body was saying ‘Oh, we
have to stop now’, but it was
worth it.”
The extended track and
field season for Brown was
worth it for several reasons,
first and foremost being her
stunning performance at the
Canada Summer Games in
London, Ont. last month.
There, she climbed on the
medal podium no less than
four times.
She was part of Ontario’s
women’s 4-x-100-metre
relay team that captured the
gold medal, before earning
more gold for Ontario in the
4-x-400m relay.
The Dunbarton High
School graduate also placed
second in the 100m hurdles,
finishing behind reigning
Canadian champion Angela
Whyte. Her other medal, a
bronze, came in the 100m
race.
The 21-year-old said the
Canada Summer Games
holds a special place for her
as it turned out to be an un-
expectedly “amazing” expe-
rience.
“I didn’t know that the
Canada Summer Games
was that big of a deal, but it
was amazing,” she said.
“The atmosphere and the
team spirit were absolutely
great. It was also great to
see and meet many of the
athletes from all the
provinces and territories.”
Earlier in the summer,
Brown competed at her first
Canadian Senior Track and
Field Championships in Ed-
monton. There, she ran in
both the 100m race and the
100m hurdles. In the hur-
dles, she finished fourth in
the nation, ahead of race
favourite and fellow Picker-
ing resident Perdita Feli-
cien, who fell during the
semifinals. Brown also fin-
ished sixth in the 100m.
The biological sciences
major at the Lincoln, Ne-
braska-based campus came
off a fine season for the
Cornhuskers women’s track
and field team. She quali-
fied for the Big 12 Confer-
ence Indoor Champi-
onships, hosted by Nebras-
ka, in three events last Feb-
ruary. She placed third in
the 60m dash in a personal-
best time of 7.39 seconds.
She also helped the
‘Huskers to a bronze-medal
finish in the 4-x-400m relay
and placed fifth in the
women’s 200m.
She qualified for the Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic
Association Division 1 Na-
tional Indoor Champi-
onships in Arkansas in the
60m dash, but didn’t make
it to the medal podium.
“At nationals, it didn’t go
so well. I was a little bit
awestruck, so I didn’t do as
well as I hoped to do,” she
said.
With all the success she
enjoyed last season for Ne-
braska, she’s preparing for
an even better 2002 cam-
paign, which begins in Jan-
uary with the indoor track
and field campaign.
“I’m hoping for a break-
through year,” she said. “I
hope to make it to nationals
in indoor and outdoor this
season.”
If that weren’t enough,
she has her eyes affixed on
goals of representing Cana-
da at the 2002 Common-
wealth Games in Manches-
ter, England July 25 to Aug.
4 and, down the road, repre-
senting her homeland in the
2004 Olympic Games in
Athens.
“I’m hoping to be at that
level in 2004. That’s what
I’m aiming for, to run in
Athens where it all began.”

Finally a win for

Pickering gets in win
column with 3-2 effort
over Vaughan Vipers
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —After three
failed attempts, the Pickering Boyer
Pontiac Panthers finally recorded
their first junior ‘A’win of the season.
Playing their third road game in
four days entering Monday night’s
tilt with the Vaughan Vipers, the Pan-
thers had dropped three straight to
open the OHA Ontario Provincial Ju-
nior ‘A’ Hockey League South Con-
ference regular season.
But, Pickering (1-2-0-1 for three
points — one point for overtime loss-
es) regrouped to taste victory, defeat-
ing Vaughan 3-2 on rookie Scott Old-
field’s goal in the third period. For
Panthers’ head coach Bill Purcell,
who was mostly pleased with his
charges’ play in Monday’s win, the
victory was definitely something for
his mostly rookie team to build on in

It’s been a summer of
accomplishment for a
Pickering’s Shelley-Ann

Last month, she competed
at the Canada Summer

she climbed on the medal

Ontario’s women’s 4-x-100-

PICKERING —A Pickering minor hockey
team is hosting a fund-raising garage sale this
Saturday.
The Pickering Panthers ‘AA’ minor atom
hockey team holds the garage sale at 1501 Ea-
gleview Dr. (at Glenanna Road) this Saturday,
Sept. 22 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
For more information or for those wishing to
donate items, call Darlene Ianiero at 905-509-
3834.
All proceeds go toward defraying team costs
this season.
the early stages of the season.
“It was a good effort for two periods. We let
down in the second period,” said Purcell. “I’m
very pleased with the way we played in the
third period. We played good, defensive hockey
and we got good goaltending from Scott Gray.”
The Panthers led 2-0 until late in the second
period when penalties led to two Vaughan
power-play goals, one with Pickering playing 5-
on-3, and the other coming while one man
short.
Oldfield, who has emerged as a top-flight
sniper for the Panthers, scored the third period’s
lone goal at the 7:53 mark. It was Oldfield’s
fifth goal in the last three games.
Paul McFarland and Chris Anderson scored
the other Pickering goals. Assisting were Dan
Schofield and Sean Bradley each with two, and
Andre Darlow and Alex Pavloski with one
apiece.
Gray turned aside 19 shots to record the win.
The Panthers suffered a heartbreaking 8-7
overtime loss to the Wexford Raiders in Scar-
borough Sunday night. Wexford’s Jonathon
Durno fired the winner just 57 seconds into
extra time.
While clearly disappointed not to get the
win, Purcell said he’ll take the point.
“We got a point out of it on their rink. Not
too many teams are able to do that,” he said.
The game represented the first time the Pan-
thers took the ice against Matt Christie, the
team’s leading scorer last year, who’s now in a
Raiders uniform. Christie didn’t net the over-
time winner, but nonetheless burned his former
mates for two goals.
The Panthers trailed 3-2 after 20 minutes and
6-4 after two periods before rallying to send it
into overtime.
Oldfield led
the Pickering
juniors with a
hat trick. Jay
Grant, Ander-
son, veteran
forward Garret
Winder and
Allan MacIsaac
netted one goal
apiece. Assist-
ing were Kyle
Aitken with
three, Scott
Mitchell and
Anderson each
with two, Alex
Greig, Mike
Alexiou, Kevin
Day and
Pavloski all
with one.
Wexford out-
shot the Pan-
thers 35-33.
The Panthers
opened the
weekend on the
road in
Markham
against the
Waxers Friday
night. After
playing the
hosts to a 4-4
tie after 40 min-
utes, the wheels
came off for the
Panthers in the
third. Markham
scored three
unanswered
goals for a 7-4
win.
Gray faced a
54-shot barrage.
Pickering,
meanwhile,
fired 30 shots
on the
Markham net.
Winder fired
a natural hat
trick to lead the
Panthers, while
Oldfield scored
the other in the
second period.
Adding assists
were Aitken
with two, and
Alex Greig,
Brent Chandler,
Darlow and
Winder.

OSHAWA ––Calgary artist
Ted Godwin is best known as a
member of the Regina Five,
but the Robert McLaughlin
Gallery is focusing on the
pieces he did during the nine-
year period he spent without
the group.
Godwin’s
‘The Tartan
Years 1967-
1976’ is in the
gallery until
Oct. 21, with an
opening recep-
tion on Sunday,
Sept. 23 from 2-
4 p.m.
During those
nine years he
painted ‘Tar-
tans’ - straight
lines of colour
repeating and
intersecting. He
gained recogni-
tion for his abstraction and de-
veloped a refined and innova-
tive style of painting he sought
to make sense of the world
through the parameters of
chance and personal investiga-
tion.
The exhibition will exam-
ine the crucial period of God-
win’s work which has re-
mained mysterious. For more

Ajax man fights to preserve roots
Book tells tale of
‘Geco’community’s
contributions to
wartime efforts
BY AL RIVETT
Staff Editor
AJAX —An Ajax man has
made it his personal mission to
commemorate a part of Scarbor-
ough that was crucial to the Sec-
ond World War effort, yet now
largely forgotten.
To remember and perhaps pre-
serve the area of post-war Scar-
borough known as Geco, Warren
Evans wrote ‘Goldfinches of
Geco’, published in the U.S. by
WriteRead Press, about growing
up in the community of Geco
(pronounced jee-co), bordered by
Birchmount Road in the east,
Warden Avenue in the west,
Eglinton Avenue to the north and
Comstock in the south.
The community took root in
1946 as an emergency housing
complex following the war and
existed until 1954. Today, al-
though some remnants of the past
survive, the Geco name hasn’t
withstood the rigours of time.
Until now.
“People don’t know about it,
that it even existed,” said Mr.
Evans, who vows to, at the very
least, have some of the existing
buildings designated as historical-
ly significant by the City of
Toronto.
“I would like to not only rec-
ognize the wartime plant, but the
community of Geco. There’s
nothing to show that Geco was
ever there. They’ve erected histor-
ical plaques for lesser reasons,”
said Mr. Evans.
During the war, the Geco area
was a large munitions factory,
numbering 177 buildings on 357
acres and owned by General En-
gineering Company (GECO). The
factory, with more than 6,000 em-
ployees at its zenith, was linked
with Ajax’s Defence Industries
Limited (DIL), also a munitions
factory where shells were filled.
His debut book, explained Mr.
Evans, is both a historical novel
and part autobiographical love
story, chronicling the lives of a
young boy, Corky, and a young
girl, Peggy, that intersect while
growing up in Geco.
“It’s a factual, non-fiction
book based on a true story,” de-
scribed Mr. Evans. “It’s a love
story on the surface, but I wasn’t
going to write something out of
Harlequin. It was about a young
girl I met at Geco in 1946.”
But, most of all, the 66-year-
old writer hopes the story will
help to preserve the memory of
the community of his youth.
“I wanted to preserve the name
of Geco, which is very quickly
fading into oblivion. It’s a histori-
cal site and that’s why I did it. It
was not just a love story, but it
told the story of a historically sig-
nificant part of the city. That was
the main reason for writing the
book, but there’s a story in there,
too.”
The book, noted Mr. Evans,
was labour intensive, taking more
than five years of writing and re-
search, with numerous trips to the
Ontario archives in Toronto. De-
spite the extensive research, the
book was mostly a labour of love
that has evoked a response from
many people who either worked
at Geco or lived in the area during
its existence.
“I’ve received several letters
from people who worked at the
plant and they’re thanking me for
doing it,” said Mr. Evans.
In addition to the book, Mr.
Evans also penned a parallel trea-
tise, ‘Salute to Scarboro, A Cana-
dian Giant in World War II’which
highlights Canada’s war effort,
the building of Scarborough’s
Geco factory, the people who
worked there, the infrastructure
that was part of the massive war
effort complex and its demise in
the summer of 1945.
The treatise, says Mr. Evans,
was written in the midst of writ-
ing ‘Goldfinches of Geco’, and
was intended to be the preface to
the novel. The length of the trea-
tise, however, prevented it from
behind used in this manner.
A one-time hobbyist in the
written word, while earning a liv-
ing both as a commercial renova-
tor and an award-winning photog-
rapher, Mr. Evans said he has an-
other novel in the works: divorce
from a man’s perspective.
“I’m halfway through it right
now,” he said. “I’m divorced, so I
have first-hand experience.”

Durham fights plan for
Cherry Downs homes
PICKERING —The
Region will fight a plan to
build a residential subdivi-
sion adjacent to a north Pick-
ering golf course, at an up-
coming Ontario Municipal
Board (OMB) hearing.
Durham council voted
unanimously last Wednesday
to have staff defend its posi-
tion opposing a 125-home
application by Cherry
Downs CoVenture Ltd.
The application was for
the houses to be built on ap-
proximately 65 acres of land
zoned agricultural reserve.
The property is adjacent to a
golf course beside the Clare-
mont Conservation Field
Centre at Sideline 12 and
Concession 7. The current
land zoning restricts land
uses to agricultural and farm-
related uses. The Region up-
held its Official Plan desig-
nation and did not grant the
company the amendment it
sought.
Cherry Downs lawyer
Peter Smith declined com-
ment on the decision. The
company has appealed
Durham’s decision to the
OMB, which will begin pre-
hearings on the case Sept. 28.

Pleasure and Transportation
ADVERTISING FEATURE
When one hears the word travel,
the words “pleasure” and “trip”
inevitably come to mind. Our leisure
culture, if indeed it does exist, drives
people to travel, exercise and enjoy
life to it’s fullest.
For lovers of open spaces, pleasure
flying is particularly exciting. To
view cities, villages and beauty of
the northern landscape from high
above is truly a unique experience.
As a result, there are a number of
small airlines companies and
outfitters who offer a variety of trips
by plane, including pleasure trips,
hunting and fishing trips as well as
trips to untamed places far away
from the hustle and bustle of city
life.
Organized motor coach trips have
also become increasingly popular.
Offering unsurpassed comfort, motor
coaches are a safe and carefree way
to travel. Frequent stops allow
travelers to admire the
many beautiful sites of
Canada.
Many people dream of
going on a cruise.
Whether it is on a sailboat
or on a luxury liner that
can compete with even the
grandest of hotels, cruises
offer the perfect mix of
travel, fine cuisine, and fun
activities. You can visit
exotic countries with the
family, swim in turquoise
oceans or go scuba diving;
cruises offer something
new each day. You can even
visit the glaciers. With a
cruise, you can do all that
and much, much more.

THROWN FOR A LOOP
OK, so 2001 won’t exactly be remem-
bered as being a stellar year for the caddie.
First we had Mylesgate at the British Open,
where looper Myles Byrne forgot to count
the clubs of his man, Ian Woosnam. So
Woosy ended up with one driver too many
and a costly two-stroke penalty in the final
round.
Then at the European Masters, Myles’
younger brother, Dermot, was nowhere to be
found when his player, Stephen Gallacher,
teed off in the final round. Dermot Byrne
showed up to the third tee and said he had
the flu. But fortunately for Dermot, another
caddie in Europe was grabbing the weekend
headlines.
At the inaugural WPGA International
Matchplay Championship at Gleneagles, a
terrific semifinal
match between Laura
Davies and Sophie
Gustafson came to
an abrupt halt after 19
holes when tourna-
ment director Ian
Randell informed
Gustafson she’d have
a hole deducted for
committing a rules vi-
olation. Her caddie,
American Chuck Ho-
ersch, had accepted a 100-yard ride in a bug-
gy to the tee of the first playoff hole, a
breach of Tour policy. Davies didn’t want to
win the match in such a manner over a good
friend, but she had no choice but to accept
the decision.
Said Gustafson, who was in tears, “I
don’t mind losing a tournament when it’s my
fault. But when it’s not my fault, it sucks.”
Well said. Alas, it’s been a long, tough
year for the looper.
THE EARL OF WOODS
Earl Woods, the Man Who Raised a
Tiger, had some interesting things to say
about Augusta National’s so-called “Tiger-
proofing” of its golf course. “I think they’re
doing it the wrong way,” Earl Woods told
The Charlotte Observer. “If they want to
Tiger-proof the course, what they need to do
is have (the players) dress in miniskirts and
play from the red tees. Have the fairways 50
yards wide and no rough. Wet the greens
every day so they can throw darts in there,
and I guarantee you Tiger won’t win. It
brings so many players in that I’m sure
someone will play better than Tiger. It’s been
proven.”
Earl Woods also reiterated his stance that
Tiger’s future includes far more important
items on his plate than golf. “I said that
someday with his recognition and status in
golf he’ll be able to affect changes because
most of the world leaders are golfers,” said
the Duke of Earl.
“He can go in and say, ‘Hey, Muhammad,
how’s your game? Want a lesson? And, by
the way, those prisoners you’ve got, give
them to me. I’m taking them back. And
those kids you have, they need food.’And
they’ll say, ‘We’ll take care of it, Mr.
Woods.’”— Golfweek
BY JEFF RUDE
Golfweek
O n the weekend when President
Bush ordered troops to “get
ready” for war, when Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
said the “best defense against
terrorism is an offense,” when the world
braced for American retaliation for the Sept.
11 attacks on the East Coast, the staging of
the 34th Ryder Cup Matches this month was
deemed inappropriate.
As the United States and its allies set about
grieving and healing and reacting to the
tragedies, the European Ryder Cup Board
agreed to the PGA of America’s request that
the competition be postponed and resched-
uled for September 2002 with the same roster
of players. The matches, pitting 12-man
teams from the United States and Europe in
perhaps golf’s most anticipated event, had
been set for Sept. 28-30 at The Belfry in Sut-
ton Coldfield, England.
“When they start pulling victims out of the
rubble, and there are funerals taking place,
some of them for police and firefighters who
were trying to save lives ... and we’re going to
be out golfing?” said U.S. star David Duval,
the British Open champion, expressing the
sentiment of many players. “I don’t think
that’s right.”
Nor did the powers that be.
The PGA’s decision to postpone — for
reasons of safety, continued world disorder,
family concerns and problems with interna-
tional travel for an estimated 1,500-2,000 —
forced alteration of long-term scheduling of
both the Ryder and Presidents cups. Officials
were working to finalize a plan this week that
would move the 2002 Presidents Cup, set for
Nov. 7-10 in George, South Africa, to 2003.
That would avoid scheduling two internation-
al competitions within a month and a half
next fall.
The plan further called for the Ryder Cup,
which has existing site agreements through
2011, to be subsequently played in even-num-
bered years and the Presidents Cups in odd
ones. “That appears the cleanest thing to do,”
said Jim Awtrey, PGA of America chief exec-
utive officer.
That means the 2003 Ryder Cup set for
Oakland Hills in Birmingham, Mich., would
be pushed back a year, pending numerous dis-
cussions in a complex scenario. For certain,
holding the Ryder in both 2002 and ’03 is
“not going to happen,” one high-ranking offi-
cial said.
Two days after four hijacked-plane crashes
killed thousands in New York City,Washing-
ton and Pennsylvania,Awtrey said he had
hoped for the matches to proceed this month
but that security would be the top considera-
tion. He held to that priority in the tragedy’s
far-reaching aftermath.
“What crystallized (the decision) is that
nothing presented itself to clear anything up,”
Awtrey said. “There was dialogue around the
world that there was going to be conflict, and
nobody knew when or where. We were seeing
an escalation of everything around the world.
There was a growing sense of tragedy, and
we’re still looking at the impact. We looked at
families affected by parents flying overseas in
unsafe times.
“It would be hard for them to leave their
kids and say, ‘Trust me,’when images on TV
were saying otherwise. And the matches
would not have been the Ryder Cup we have
designed but more of a rally around Ameri-
ca.”
The PGA chief said he was buoyed by
President Bush’s urging of America to move
forward and return to normalcy. However, he
said, “Our event was taking people out of the
country, and normalcy has not yet arrived
with international travel. Images from New
York did not change, and security was still at
a heightened state. When you add all those
pieces together, it didn’t seem it was the right
thing to play the Ryder Cup. We couldn’t see
compelling reasons to go.”
The preferred new date is Sept. 27-29,
2002, at The Belfry,Awtrey said. That is the
week after the WGC American Express
Championship set for Sept. 19-22 in Kilken-
ny, Ireland. Like this year, the Ryder again
would be scheduled the same week as the
PGA Tour’s Texas Open.
“If we were here (in America), I believe
we’d be playing because that would be nor-
mal in the U.S.,”Awtrey said. “Normal is not
leaving the U.S. at this minute. We had to be
comfortable everyone would be secure.”
The PGA is resuming its full schedule this
week in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and
Idaho, but those events don’t involve moving
thousands of people abroad. “We all want to
go back to being normal, but in the confines
of the United States,” said Hal Sutton, a U.S.
Ryder Cup member and Tour Policy Board
player-director.
Awtrey said his outlook of going forward
with the matches this month started to change
the night of Sept. 13. “We were seeing dia-
logue around the world to prepare for serious
actions,” he said. “We got a wake-up call that
night that things were still unstable.”
The PGA requested postponement to Eu-
ropean officials, including British PGA chief
Sandy Jones and PGA European Tour boss
Ken Schofield, on Sept. 15. “I started to apol-
ogize,”Awtrey said, “but they stopped me and
said, ‘Don’t apologize. We’re supportive of
whatever you want to do.’”
In a telephone call Sept. 16, the European
Ryder Cup board expressed unanimous sup-
port,Awtrey said.
“We have been placed in a position be-
yond our control and therefore the matches,
out of necessity, have been postponed,” the
European board said in a statement.
After the postponement, European Ryder
Cup rookie Pierre Fulke of Sweden said most
of his teammates wanted to play but fully un-
derstood the rationale.
“Under the circumstances it’s the only de-
cision that could have been made,” Fulke
said. “You have to understand the American
players who did not want to travel. It’s the
only decision.”
T he PGA Tour,that exclusive private club,chiseled
open a crack in its closed door. That is welcome
news for the growing number of talented,young
outsiders who can play better than hangers-on.
The Tour, in effect, acknowledged it has had an ac-
cess problem. The new so-called Charles Howell III
Rule puts up-and-comers on similar footing with estab-
lished nonmembers from abroad who already could play
in a dozen Tour events.
The measure should merely be a start in hacksawing
the padlock and altering eligibility rules that should have
one master: current performance. Those who shoot the
lowest scores today should play tomorrow. Nostalgia,
with which the exclusionary sport of golf is obsessed, is
fine until it discriminates against merit.
For the minute, applaud a small progressive act. That
would be the Tour’s Sept. 5 passage allowing nonmem-
bers to play in up to 12 Tour events a year via sponsor
exemptions and top-10 finishes instead of the current
seven. That means outsiders potentially have five more
starts in which to show they belong.
Howell’s success in 2000-01 was the catalyst. The
change will benefit other wunderkind, perhaps Bryce
Molder and Luke Donald, who might have one hangnail
day and don’t get through that national fall lottery
known as the pricey, three-stage Q-School.
Curiously, however, the Tour preliminarily approved
an age limit of 18 for members. That means if new pro-
fessional Ty Tryon, 17, gets through Q-School, he would
not become a member until he turns 18 in June.
That would appear to be age discrimination. There’s
no high-age restriction. In a time when athletes are get-
ting better younger, who are we
to set an arbitrary timetable on a
prodigy’s genius, to tell Mozart
when his brilliance is fit for pub-
lic view? Weren’t Britney Spears
and boyfriend Justin Timberlake
stars well before 18?
I am not a lawyer, nor do I
play one on TV, but if Tryon
earned his Tour card and were
kept from playing, the Tour
might be on some quaking legal
ground. Its batting average in
court already is worse than an in-
ept-hitting former pitcher Bob Buhl’s. If Tyron were de-
nied access, the Tour’s new nightmare could be a call be-
ginning something like, “Hi, this is Leonard Decof,
lawyer for ...” Decof, of course, is to the Tour what John-
nie Cochran is to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Only performance should exclude. Scores. Not age or
politics.
Access problems especially plague the Tour’s so-
called developmental Buy.com satellite, whose eligibili-
ty rules favor hangers-on moreso than tomorrow’s stars.
Under the headline “The Outsiders,” that point was
made on this page in May. The story told of fields more
aged on the Buy.com than PGA Tour. The conclusion
was that pro golf is eating its young to save its old, that
current deed should rate higher than a dusty resume.
The response was overwhelming. The reaction was
about 15-1 in favor.
If Tim Finchem had inspected the responses, he
might be inclined to rewrite Buy.com eligibility from
scratch to reflect current ability. Problem is,Tour players
on a gravy train aren’t fond of voting in more job insecu-
rity than they already have.
Since May, young nonmembers Howell, David Gos-
sett, Matt Kuchar and Molder have proved the point by
excelling on the PGA Tour. They have done so against
all odds. The Tour and everybody else needs to realize
there are many more with that kind of talent who lack
access. Without question the Tour breeded champions
better under its pre-1983 system, when there
was a top-60 exempt list and Monday qualifying.
That was all about merit.
Consider this quote: “There should be 60 exemp-
tions and 65-70 qualifying
spots every week. This
gives the younger fel-
lows a chance to com-
pete. Americans won’t
maintain a higher standard
with an all-exempt tour. It’s
just not the free-enterprise
system on which this great
country was founded.”
That was Gary Player in
1986. Now the same problem
infects the so-called develop-
mental tour. At the least, the
Buy.com should align with
Player’s thought and have an
open format and, like the grow-
ing Canadian Tour, a couple of
Q-Schools. Then there’s access.
Oh, and one more thing. A
lengthy probe has found no truth
to the rumor that Doug Ford and
Herman Keiser will play the
Buy.com Tour in 2002.
