Coalition wants to be heard Brakes put on transit plan Council opts to wait for business case before moving ahead with new regional system By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM – A regionwide tran- sit system won’t start rolling until a business plan is done to find out the cost. Clarington and Pickering were the only municipalities in Durham that fully endorsed a bylaw that would have seen the Region take full control of tran- sit by July 1, a report presented to regional council Wednesday said. “We were basically flying blind,” said Whitby Mayor Mar- cel Brunelle, who championed for the business plan. “I didn’t want us to make the decision and just fall into whatever (de- tails) would show up.” Whitby recently released a report that said it would cost $88 a household just to main- tain a regionwide transit sys- tem, and the costs would rise as new routes and buses were added. Issues such as cost, union agreements with existing tran- sit employees, routes and how the three northern municipali- ties will fit in are just some of the questions that didn’t have Campaign aims to save Pickering ag preserve By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING – With time running out to submit comments on the City’s growth management study, some concerned resi- dents are trying to gather sup- port for their cause. The Rouge Duffins Green- space Coalition has created a flyer to gather support to save the agricultural preserve north of Pickering’s urban core. “I would like to see the agri- cultural preserve lifted from the study and I would like to see the consulting firm be given the mandate to explore all options to accommodate people in the Seaton and east Duffins area,” said Sandy Rider. Ms. Rider was on the growth management study steering committee and is a member of the Whitevale and District Res- idents’ Association, one of the many groups that don’t want to see the ag preserve developed. Developing the preserve goes against the City’s and Durham Region’s official plans, and the agricultural easements placed on the lands in perpetuity, the flyer states. Dillon Consulting submitted the final Phase 2 report to the City in February. The report in- cludes a structural plan for a modified version of an option selected by council in Septem- ber. ✦See Time page 4 ✦See Coalition page 5 Ducks Unlimited likes Durham program By Carly Foster Staff Writer DURHAM –Ducks Unlimited Canada is applauding the Re- gion for protecting valuable wet- lands in Durham. “Durham Region’s proposal is one of the most forward-think- ing municipal planning actions we’ve ever seen,” said Jim An- derson, a policy adviser with DUC. The Region is currently re- viewing its official plan, and is recommending a natural her- itage system that would protect 101 wetlands or 7,260 acres. Most of those are found in the north- ern municipalities of Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog, and to the east in Clarington. If those wetlands had to be re- stored, it would cost an estimat- ed $15 million, said Owen Steele, a biologist with DUC. All municipalities are mandat- ed by the Ministry of Natural Re- sources to protect provincially designated significant wetlands. Unfortunately, a vast majority of wetlands are not inventoried or designated by the Province, and are therefore not protected by the municipality, Mr. Steele said. “What we’re really pleased with is that Durham is propos- ing to protect other wetlands the Province hasn’t deemed signifi- cant,” Mr. Steele said. “That will mean all wetlands are given same level of protection.” The Region’s natural heritage system would also recognize and protect other environmentally significant lands like fish and wildlife habitats, valley lands and woodlots. “(These areas) have been pro- tected in the past, but this is more formalizing our intent to protect them and clarifying our policy,” said Chris Darling, a planner with the Region. If approved, the heritage sys- tem - like Oak Ridges Moraine policies - would essentially pro- tect significant areas from devel- opment. An extensive environ- mental assessment would have to prove development like wildlife management, conserva- tion projects or highways was absolutely necessary, Mr. Dar- ling said.

Kudos for Region’s wetlands protection Woman found at Lakeview Park beach By Lesley Bovie Staff Writer DURHAM –Police tape lined the beach at Lake- view Park Friday morning after the body of a woman was found about five feet from the shore. Durham Regional Police don’t suspect foul play in the death of the 53-year-old woman, whose remains were found at around 11:30 a.m. by a City parks worker. “We think she may have been there just a couple of hours,” said police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik. “It didn’t look like (she’d been there) a long time. She hadn’t been re- ported missing.” At press time, police hadn’t released the name of the woman because her family hadn’t yet been noti- fied of her death. Dean Norman was work- ing on a tree near the Ju- bilee Pavilion when he was approached by a walker, who said she had seen something floating in the water. “I don’t think she actual- ly knew it was a body,” said the parks staffer. “She said it looked like a body. To tell you the truth, I didn’t even go down right away to take a look.” He found the body float- ing face down just off the shore and called 911. With curious trail-users looking on, investigators stood for some time over the woman, hidden from view by a small rock face at the base of a hill near Guy House Museum. “You never know, they could’ve slipped or fallen,” said a woman, who only wanted to be known as Josie, out walking her two Shitzu Poodles. “I feel bad for the person. It’s a terrible thing,” she said. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, March 28, 2004 PAGE 3 A/P Brock North Dental OPEN EVENINGS & SATURDAY CONTACT US AT 905-427-7773 • DIGITAL X-RAY • INTRA ORAL CAMERA • TV IN OPERATORIES • KIDS PLAY STATION 2 • DIRECT BILLING TO INSURANCE NOW ACCEPTING N EW PATIENTS 2200 Brock Road in the Brock North Plaza Dr. Fernandes, Jill, Robbin,Mary, Michele, Michelle, Donna, Vanda, Dr. Pacione, Angie, Angela, Brenda, Dr. Sbaraglia ( Anaesthesiologist) Not Shown - Dr. Dagher (Endodontist), Anna, Julianne Coming Soon-Orthodontist rrs TM DURHAM DENTAL CENTRE 135 Harwood Ave. N.

Trustees want GST break too Ajax trustee calls for similar deal to cities DURHAM —What’s good for local government should be good for school boards, Marilyn Crawford reasons. The Ajax Wards 1 and 2 trustee is one of two Durham District School Board trustees represent- ing the board at the On- tario Public School Boards’ Association. At a recent OPSBA meeting, she said the talk turned to the tax break the federal government is giv- ing municipalities. The government in its re- cent budget confirmed it would no longer charge municipalities the goods and services tax, or GST, saving towns and cities bil- lions over the next decade. “We should be getting the same,” Trustee Craw- ford told trustees March 22. Trustees unanimously approved her motion that the board write a letter to the federal government re- questing a full GST exemp- tion. answers, Mayor Brunelle said. Some of the work toward a busi- ness plan has already been com- pleted by Totten Simms Hubicki, which has worked with the Region for the past three years on the Transit Improvement Plan. While the TIM did endorse a re- gionwide system, it also recom- mended a business case analysis to determine the costs, benefits and implications of a fully integrated structure. “It’s just going to take a bit longer,” said Clarington Mayor John Mutton, who brought the orig- inal motion forward. “We all knew July was an extremely ambitious deadline.” There were conflicting estimates out of regional council on how long a business plan would take. Re- gional Chairman Roger Anderson said it could possibly be complete by September, while Mayor Brunelle said it would take at least a year. Mayor Mutton said a lot of the work has already been done by the consultant and the information “just needs compilation.” Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce wants to know what will happen to the $8 million in GO Transit money the municipalities currently re- ceive. The northern municipalities gen- erally use their share for transit for people who are disabled, while communities in the south put the money towards their own transit systems. “There’s all kinds of rumours, all kinds of assumptions (about GO),” she said. “We don’t know if GO will continue if the regional system comes.” The regionwide proposal will now go to the transit implementation committee for a business plan.

Coalition trying to rally support for preserve That option designates a res- idential neighbourhood be built in the provincially owned Seaton land and another in the southern part of the agricultur- al preserve called the Cherry- wood neighbourhood. Of the 76,900 residents planned for the area, 39,000 would live in Seaton while Cherrywood could accommodate 37,900. The deadline to submit com- ments on the report is April 2. Catherine Rose, of the planning department, said anyone wish- ing to submit comments after the deadline should call the planning department. The coalition’s flyer not only asks residents to submit com- ment to the City asking for the preserve to remain protected, it also asks people to write to Pre- mier Dalton McGuinty, Minis- ter of Municipal Affairs and Housing John Gerretsen, Durham Region staff and other provincial ministers. Bonnie Littley, a member of the coalition, said the purpose of the flyer is to encourage peo- ple to get involved. “To try and explain what’s at stake and telling them what to do,” she said. “There are a heck of a lot more people that op- pose the study than support the study.” Ms. Rider and Ms. Littley said Friday that they believe the 90,000 people Pickering is trying to plan for can be accom- modated in Seaton if Smart Growth planning is used, while at the same time protecting its environmentally sensitive areas. “The study states that (Seaton can’t) hold all these people and it does,” Ms. Rider said. “We do care about Seaton, we want it planned correctly.” “That will be the next fight,” Ms. Littley added. “To negoti- ate 66 per cent protection of Seaton, which was in the Liber- al platform.” ✦ Coalition from page 1 Prenatal classes offer peace of mind DURHAM – A new prenatal pro- g ram will be offering expectant parents in Durham a way to prepare for the joys, challenges and stresses of birth. Essential Beginnings Birth Services, in conjunction with the Ajax Ontario Early Years Centre, will be presenting pre- natal classes featuring an inno- vative and interactive new de- sign. Its aim is to help women gain confidence in their ability to give birth, and to help their partners make labour safer and more comfortable. The classes promise to cover all major topics, including the normal birth process, medical interventions, developing a mindset to cope with the chal- lenges of birth, newborn care, breastfeeding, and adapting to parenthood. The class content will be de- termined, to a large extent, by the individual needs of the par- ticipants. Classes begin May 4, at the Ajax Ontario Early Years Cen- tre, 230 Westney Rd. S. Regis- tration for the six-week series is currently underway. Class size is limited, and gift certificates are available.

P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, March 28, 2004 www.durhamregion.com Put alerting towers on public buildings instead To the editor: It surprises me how Durham Region goes about its duties in a vacuum. We are the oldest established commu- nity association in Pickering and no one tells us what's going on. I discovered last October that a tower is going to be lo- cated on Park Crescent. I was out walk- ing and a Durham Region works crew was driving stakes in an open field that is on private property. When they told me it was a location for a nuclear alert- ing tower I was shocked. The experts say the location gives the best sound coverage. Our association has been in existence from the early 1900s and incorporated in 1949, well be- fore the nuclear plant came along. We don't need these towers in our community and certainly not on some- one's front lawn. I remember the air- raid sirens post Second World War and when they were tested you could hear them all over Toronto. Let's put them on the front lawn of an Ontario Power Generation executive or our regional chairman. They are the ones who want them, they already pur- chased them, let them have it. What ever happened to common sense? Put the stupid things on top of public build- ings or communication towers, not in built-up neighbourhoods. We can survive nicely without the towers just as we have for the past 33 years.

Editorials &Opinions SUNDAY, MARCH 28, 2004 ✦ News Advertiser ✦ DAVID STELL, NEWS EDITOR, 905-683-5110 EXT. 249 Editorial Letters to the Editor Hey, let’s be careful out there Police, Province must stay on top of unsafe vehicles Coming soon to a highway near you: Operation Wreck Check. One of several measures the province is undertaking to keep our roads safe and clean, the OPP Whitby detachment will be taking a long look at Durham vehicles that are hitting our local roads, and some will likely be judged not roadworthy. The operation is set for May 7 and, if a recent blitz is any indication, there will be some jalopies that don't make it past inspection. A one-day vehicle safety blitz last Nov. 20 in Clarington saw 66 charges delivered. Twenty-seven cars and trucks were removed from the road out of the 44 that were inspected. While it's only a small number of the total amount of cars and trucks that are unsafe out there, it just takes one vehicle with rotted brake lines, or one car with near zero driver visibility be- cause of cracks in the windshield, to cause a catastrophe. It's a case of stopping them before they get started. Officers can and should take action on these obvious safety problems, but we should also be concerned about the pollution improperly serviced vehicles emit. For instance, a March 11 Operation Clean Sweep undertaken by Durham police, the OPP and Ontario's ministries of trans- portation and the environment found plenty of offenders. Of 87 vehicles inspected, 83 received emissions charges and 17 were towed away. Given the results of Operation Clean Sweep, it's puzzling in- deed to hear the Province is considering the elimination of Drive Clean, the inspection program that makes sure Ontario's vehi- cles meet minimum emissions standards. While the program has been called a cash grab and has been criticized by some as being a nuisance for the average driver, it has forced drivers to avoid polluting our air unnecessarily. Considering how much effort the Liberals put into promises to clean up the environment - the Province is eliminating coal- fired generating stations by 2007 - dumping Drive Clean makes no sense. The police and the Province must work together to reduce safety hazards and excessive emissions on our roads so vehicles don't kill us now and kill us later. A consistent effort and mes- sage is needed here. Keep Drive Clean and crackdown on unsafe vehicles. Then, we can all drive a bit easier. Lack of funding hurts our athletic ventures and international pride If you cheer Perdita Felicien or any other Canadian athlete in international sports, you had to boo the federal budget this week. Not a dime was announced for amateur athletics. This in a country that takes so much pride in our world sporting accomplishments. When will Canada really get be- hind its athletes? They are our am- bassadors to the world, giving us an identity. And the best, like Picker- ing's Ms. Felicien, are even heroes to many. They deserve far more sup- port than they get. But the disappointing reality is that to succeed, many must grow up dreaming of catching the eye of a recruiter from a U.S. college. Why? Well, it's the only way to get proper training and funding. Cana- dian colleges and universities don't even come close to meeting the needs of a serious amateur athlete hoping to reach a world champi- onship event. Of course, amateur athletics isn't the only thing not getting adequate funding. Health care will never have enough money and the military's woes are well documented too. And the list goes on. The question now is, 'What can be done?' Where do we get the money we need? Getting spending under control would be a good start. Prime Minister Paul Martin has vowed to do that, but it won't hap- pen overnight. He's on the right track though and whether he holds onto the job or whether the Conser- vatives get their shot after the next election, we need to stay on that road. Maybe this sponsorship scandal will pay dividends down the road. If we increase scrutiny of all govern- ment spending, this will be a lot harder to repeat in the future. A cynic will say 'fat chance,' but we can't just give up. Quite frankly, sport doesn't de- serve the funding as much as health care. But imagine a day when we can fund both. Now that Jean Chre- tien is out of the picture, a new atti- tude could creep into Parliament Hill. Instead of denying and deflect- ing, the new prime minister is actu- ally answering the criticism and taking action. It's long overdue and it has to continue.

While most parents are living busy lives, there are many ways to stay attuned with your child’s education; communication with the teachers and your child is key. Dr. Donna McGhie-Richmond, educational specialist with Kumon Math and Reading Centres, says it is critical that a parent becoms involved with their child’s education. “Communication on a regular basis between parents and teachers is critical to a student’s success. Parents need to understand what is expected at school and the teacher needs to understand what the child’s home life is like,” Dr. McGhie-Richmond says. “If they know what each environment looks like then they can work together instead of against each other.” She adds it is important that the teacher and parent understand the other’s role and perspective, culture, life experience and language. “Just like a teacher develops a relationship with a child, it is essential the teacher develops a relationship with the parent,” says Dr. McGhie-Richmond. “It is also important to avoid being judgmental and to openly discuss any issues a teacher may have with the parent, and vice versa. Always ask open-ended questions and have an open dialogue. That doesn’t just go for parents, but for teachers as well,” McGhie-Richmond says. Communication should not just exist between the parent and teacher. Parents should always have an open line of communication with their child to show support. It is also critical parents watch their wording and to avoid discouraging their child with negativity. Dr. McGhie-Richmond says it’s important to never begin a sentence with ‘but’ as it always dismisses what the other person just said. “Use ‘and’ instead; ‘and’ is more acknowledging and tells the other person that ‘this is what you hear and understand.’ It is much more inclusive,” she says. www.someone2call.com E-mail: someone2call@rogers.com FREE ONSITE CONSULTATION With this ad.

The Whitby trustee, at the March 22 board meet- ing, presented a notice of motion that the board opt out of OPSBA and spend the $92,400 membership fee elsewhere. Trustees will consider it at the April 19 board meeting. Each board agenda in- cludes an OPSBA Fast Reports section, where the organization high- lights issues that have been in the media and provides other informa- tion to trustees. “The Durham District School Board puts out about $100,000,” Trustee Dolstra told trustees. “Are we getting the bang for our dollars from OPSBA? As far as I’m seeing, we’re not.” Board chairman Eliza- beth Roy noted Trustee Dolstra’s complaint was not a new one, and that she would welcome a visit from the OPSBA presi- dent to outline the bene- fits of being a member. Ajax Wards 1 and 2 Trustee Marilyn Crawford, one of two board OPSBA representatives, defended the association. She noted it recently saved boards money for energy costs and is pushing for a GST exemption for boards. In an interview, Trustee Roy said she takes very se- riously the possibility trustees could drop out of OPSBA. She said she has e- mailed OPSBA requesting information on recent ini- tiatives, and asked presi- dent Gerri Gershon to come to Durham for a pre- sentation.

The topics I have covered have varied in seriousness, from simple plantar warts to fractures and chronic foot pain. Each foot contains 18 muscles, 31 tendons, 107 ligaments, 30 joints and 28 bones. Is it any wonder that approximately 80 per cent of us will experience a foot problem at least once in our lifetime. But for anyone with a foot problem, you know first hand that suffering with sore feet is no laughing matter. For those of you with feet that are nothing to laugh about, I thought that this April Fools might be a good time to hit your funny bone, so to speak, with a few foot riddles and jokes. Some may be moaners while others are groaners but I’m sure one or two will take your mind off of your sore feet. Why should you never put your left shoe on first? Because, your right one would be left! How large is your shoe? About a foot long! Why did the person say he was wearing golf socks? Because he had a hole in one! How does Santa Claus go down the chimney? Feet first! How do ghosts keep their feet dry? By wearing BOO-TS! Billy: Do you have holes in your underpants? Tommy: No, of course not! Billy: Then how did you get your legs through? How did the podiatrist learn each lesson? By keeping footnotes! Why did the architect have trouble finding shoes? He only knew how to measure in square feet! Why are feet like ancient tales? Because they are leg-ends! This shoetype sounds like an accent. Brogue. This shoe type sounds like a Hungarian soup? Golosh. This shoe sounds like a type of snake. Moccasin. Why do podiatrists like Christmas? Because all of the mistle-toe. How do Podiatrists get new patients into their office? They toe them in. Why was the clown always smiling? His feet didn’t hurt because his shoes were so big. As you can see, I can keep going, but I really want my practice to grow. Remember: although sore feet are no laughing matter, with proper care you’ll be smiling with every step you take.

Many studies show that back pain among schoolchildren has been on the rise over the past two decades. World class researchers certainly agree about that. What remains controversial is whether or not the parallel increase in the popularity of backpacks - which are often used improperly - is to blame. Some studies do point an accusing finger at backpacks, while others place as much, or more, blame on the fact that so many Canadian children get little exercise and weigh more than they should. If your child does use a backpack - and research indicates that approximately 90 percent of Canadian teenagers do - you can at least make sure that he or she is using it correctly. Here are the most important points: • Make sure that the backpack does not exceed 15 percent of your child’s weight. (If your child is overweight, that percentage should be less.) If the weight simply cannot be reduced consider purchasing a backpack-on- wheels. • Choose a backpack with padded shoulder straps. Since a balanced load is always easier to carry, avoid the trendy one-shoulder versions. • Teach your child how to organize a pack properly. Heavy books and binders should go at the bottom, on the inside - as close to the body as possible. Backpacks with numerous small pockets are also a good idea; they help children distribute their “can’t-live-without-’em” accessories evenly. • Encourage your child to carry his or her backpack over both shoulders rather than slinging it over just one and to use the waist strap if there is one. • Make sure that the straps are adjusted properly. The top of the backpack should rest between the shoulder blades. (Many children have a tendency to carry their backpacks too low.) • Teach your child to bend at the knees and use his or her leg muscles when donning and doffing a backpack. Do back packs cause back pain? GRAND OPENING SPECIALS 1360 KINGSTON RD 905-420-3709 LOCATED IN THE HUB PLAZA AT KINGSTON RD. & LIVERPOOL Please call to book your orientation *Some restrictions apply.

Mr. Carruthers, 71, had throat can- cer surgery in January and then suf- fered a heart attack in early Febru- ary. It was an emotional day for Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce, who heard the news in the afternoon. She first met Mr. Carruthers in 1990. “We became friends through poli- tics,” the mayor recalled Wednesday afternoon. For the last three years, Mr. Car- ruthers has been Scugog’s regional councillor and had served on Scugog council for much of the previous nine years. Mr. Carruthers devoted himself to being a councillor and serving his community despite his health prob- lems over the years, added the mayor. “Being a councillor wasn’t just a job, he was deeply committed to his community,” she continued. His devotion to Scugog didn’t go unnoticed at Durham council. “All the issues dealing with Scugog, whether it was water, sewer, roads, he was always making sure services and programs for Scugog were a pri- ority and made sure Scugog’s voice was heard in those issues,“ said Durham Chairman Roger Anderson. As a regional councillor he sat on many boards including the Scugog Memorial Public Library, the Kawartha Conservation Authority, the Scugog Shores Millennium Com- mittee, the Executive Board of the Nor th Durham Social Development Council, the Region of Durham Plan- ning Committee and Oak Ridges Moraine Advisory Committee. He was also a president of the Scugog Chamber of Commerce and ran suc- cessful Country Time Coffee shops in Port Perry and Manchester after re- tiring from Sears Canada. Visitation is Tuesday, March 30 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Wagg Funeral Home’s McDermott-Panabaker Chapel, 216 Queen St. A service at McDermott-Panabaker Chapel is at 11 a.m. March 31. KEN CARRUTHERS Durham councillor died Wednesday.

Daffodils: The daffodil is the Canadian Cancer Society’s symbol of hope, and are sold every year to mark the beginning of Daffodil Month. The Society is the world’s largest pur- chaser of daffodils and growers in British Columbia must arrange their planting to accommodate the Society’s spring demand for live blooms. Pre-ordering blooms can involve workplaces and a volunteer will deliver them to the office. Street sales, where volunteers will be at various locations across (area) take place April 2 and 3. Brighten your day and support the Canadian Cancer Society. Door-to- door Campaign: This activity is one of the Society’s longest running and most successful fundraising events. During the month of April, hun- dreds of local volunteers will be knocking on their neighbours doors, asking for financial support.

Funds raised through these activities enable the Society to: • fund research on all types of cancer • offer comprehensive and credible information on cancer, treatment and risk reduction • provide support for people living with cancer in your community, including emotional support groups and transportation services These activities in local neighbourhoods also help the Canadian Cancer Society enhance our presence in the community by providing information about our programs and services.

The event begins with the Survivors’ Victory Lap where cancer survivors are celebrated as they walk the first lap. Then as the sun sets, the Luminary Ceremony takes place. Luminary bags contain candles that are lit in honour or in memory of a loved one with cancer. These events are part of why Relay For Life is so special. Join us June 4-5, 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. at the Civic Fields in Oshawa. Call Marnie Salonius at the office to find out more or e-mail to msalonius@ccsont.org.

Members of skip Glenn Howard's team, Hart at third, Mitchell at second and Jason Mitchell at lead end the 2004 curling campaign at the final event of the World Curling Tour (WCT) schedule at Mile One Stadium in St. John's, New- foundland on March 31 to April 4. The 2004 PharmAssist Players' Championship features the cream of men's curling in the country, including a number of former world champions in Kerry Burtnyk, John Morris, Jeff Stoughton, Wayne Middaugh and Howard, who won in the past with his brother, Russ. Hart and Collin Mitchell, Pick- ering residents, joined the Howard rink, based out of the Coldwater Curling Club, after splitting with their former skip, Mike Harris, after the 2000 sea- son. Since then, it has been a solid learning experience. "It has been beyond all expec- tations. It's been unbelievable," says Hart, who says the four- some will be back together for the 2005 season. The St. John's event is the cul- mination of a successful and profitable tour season for the rink. Going into the final event, the team is the fourth- or fifth- ranked team in the world and is currently third on the WCT money list, having already amassed nearly $70,000 in win- nings. In January, the Howard rink curled to its biggest payday of the season at The National WCT event in Prince Albert, Sask. There, they won the final over Jeff Stoughton 5-3 to claim the $30,000 purse. Being near the top of the money list this year was one of the team's goals, says Hart. The other goal -- to represent On- tario at the 2004 Brier -- fell one game short of fulfilment. Ironically, the Howard rink met the Harris foursome for the Ontario Men's Curling Champi- onship at Owen Sound's Harry Lumley Bayshore Centre last month. Harris skipped the sil- ver-medal winning Canadian men's entry in the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan that included Hart and Mitchell. Unfortunately for Mitchell and Hart, Harris pulled out a 9-5 vic- tory in the Ontario final, thus earning a trip to the Nokia Brier in Saskatoon, Sask. earlier this month. In another piece of irony, the Howard rink had defeated the Harris foursome twice leading up to the final, once in the pre- liminary round and also in the first playoff game. "He found some of that magic he had and played a hell of a game against us," says Hart. "Our team played a good game, but we ran into a (Harris) team that was so hot." This season also represents the 18th year Hart and Mitchell have curled on the same team. They started together as 16-year- olds juniors and after two years apart, regrouped as 18-year-olds and have been playing together ever since. The Glenn Howard rink, which includes two former Olympians –– Collin Mitchell and Richard Hart from Pickering –– hopes to win more curling cash at the final World Curling Tour event of the season in St. John’s, Newfoundland from March 31 to April 4. Monarchs wrap up round-robin play with 2-2 tie PICKERING — The St. Mary Sec- ondary School Monarchs senior boys' hockey team entered the weekend in the hunt for the provincial high school champi- onship. The third-seeded Monarchs, who finished in second place in pool 'C' at the 20-team Ontario Federation of School Athletic As- sociation (OFSAA) 'AAA' Champi- onships in London, played the winner of the 'D' pool, the 13th- seeded Orangeville Bears, in the quarter-final game late Friday af- ternoon. The result wasn't avail- able at press time. Semifinal games were played Saturday morning. The bronze- medal game was played at the John Labatt Centre on Saturday at 6 p.m., followed by the gold- medal final at 8 p.m. The Monarchs finished pool play with an unbeaten 2-0-2 record for six points, playing to their sec- ond draw of the tournament, 2-2 to the sixth-seeded St. Thomas Aquinas Flames of London, on Thursday evening. Unfortunately for St. Mary, the 11th-ranked St. Peter's Saints of Peterborough earned a decisive 8- 3 win over the 19th-seeded St. Joseph's Jaguars of Barrie on Fri- day morning to finish with a 3-0-1 record (seven points) to secure top spot in pool 'C'. Against St. Thomas, the Mon- archs broke out on top 1-0 in the first period on a goal by Greg Riggs, his fifth of the tournament. In the second, however, the Mon- archs surrendered a pair of goals to the Flames. Two minutes into the third, St. Mary replied with the equalizer off the stick of Joe As- senza.

St. Mary not getting the breaks But girls hockey club hopes to make waves at OFSAA By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING —Two bad breaks for the St. Mary Monarchs varsi- ty girls' hockey team won't deter it from competing for a repeat crown at the provincial high school championships. That's the mindset of the players and of coach Dino Caggiula as they head into the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Girls' AAA' Hockey Champi- onships, which get under way tomorrow (Monday) at the York University Ice Gardens in Tor onto and run to March 31. The Durham Region champi- on Monarchs, seeded third in the 20-team provincials, will play in pool 'C' with sixth-seed- ed Markham District High School, 11th seeded Loyola of Mississauga, 14th-seeded St. Joseph's of Cornwall and 19th- seeded Birchmount of Scarbor- ough. St. Mary plays its first pool game against Birchmount on Monday at 1 p.m. Later that day, the Monarchs play St. Joseph's at 4 p.m. On Tuesday morning at 8 a.m., the Monarchs play Loyola and finish pool play at 1:15 p.m. against Markham. The worse break of all for the defending OFSAA champion Monarchs was the loss of start- ing goaltender Quinn Caggiula. She suffered a broken fibula in her leg and won't have her cast off for two weeks. Even without his star goal- tender, Caggiula believes his team still has the ability to win the gold medal. "I'm excited. I think we'd have been the odds-on favourite to win if we had Quinn. People may not take us as seriously as they did before and it might give us that edge. "I told the girls there's no rea- son we can't be in the (gold) medal game. I told them 'If you g uys trust one another and be- lieve in one another we can sur- prise some people and win the gold medal'." And, the other bad break for St. Mary was emerging as the third seed at the championship. Caggiula believes the squad should have merited a better fate from organizers. "I really think as defending champs, if we had a full team, we would have been seeded higher." The Monarchs will rely on the crease work of Grade 9 goal- tender Michelle Bradley to give them a chance to get back to the gold-medal game. Caggiula says he's asked his players to pay more attention to their defen- sive responsibilities, and thus far they've responded. "We have a really well-bal- anced team. We play a much more defensive style and they've done a good job of supporting her," he says. The core of the Monarchs, he says, are seniors Nicole Ruta, Jessica Judges, Amanda Morra and Megan Friel. They started out on the team as Grade 9s and are determined to win gold again at OFSAA as seniors. "This is their last champi- onships, so they're not going to go down without a fight," says Caggiula. St. Mary isn't the only Picker- ing squad in the championships. The 13-seeded Dunbarton High School Spartans, the Durham Region finalists, also face off in the event. Quarter-finals and semifinals go Wednesday morning, with the bronze-medal game at 2 p.m., followed by the gold-medal contest at 3:15 p.m. St. Mary marches onward Minor atoms win 7-6 championship game thriller PICKE R ING — The Pickering Panthers Dalar Contracting- Denny's Restaurant minor atom 'AA' rep hockey team hus- tled past the host squad in the f inal of the Barrie tournament March 12 to 14. It was Pickering's second tournament championship of the season. The Panthers had to work extra time to capture the Barrie crown, posting a dra- matic, come-from-behind 7-6 overtime victory. Pickering jumped out in front early as Anthony Novak, on a pass from Patrick Morgan, scored on the first shift of the game. The Barrie Flyers an- swered with four consecutive goals to take a 4-1 lead by the midway point of the game. Mitchell Conroy, again from Morgan, scored to get the Pan- thers within two with five min- utes remaining in the second period. Pickering came out strong in the third period and scored when Joshua Grant found a loose puck in front of the Flyers net. Andrew Thomson drew an assist. Grant would again find the back of the net on a pass from Thomson, who then scored with four minutes left to put the Panthers in front. After Barrie tied things up 5-5, Mor- gan, from Conroy, put Pickering ahead with under two minutes remaining. The Flyers tied the game 6-6 with just more than a minute left. In overtime, Thomson found the puck in the Barrie crease and ended the match. John Milonas and Grant assisted. Thomson was selected as game MVP. Pickering defeated the Flam- borough Sabres 2-0 in Game 1 on goals by Conroy and Milonas. Richard Thompson, Anthony Novak and Thomson assisted. Brandon Kirkup earned the shutout. In the second game, the Pan- thers triumphed over North Bay 4-2. Milonas led the way with a hat trick, while Nicolas Gucciardi added the other. Ryan Hickey, Steven Hann and Grant assisted. In Game 3, Pickering suffered its only loss of the tournament, a 3-0 decision to the Richmond Hill Stars. The fourth game was a pre- view of the final as Pickering skated to an easy 4-0 win over the Flyers. Milonas recorded a two-goal game, while Grant scored on the power play and Novak had the other goal. Milonas, Liam Ready, Morgan and Conroy drew assists. Andrew Polley recorded the shutout. Other team members are Cameron Elwood and Michael Spataro. Mike Thomson coaches the team, assisted by Phil Morgan and Gord Thompson. Tony Novak is the trainer and Patty Grant is the manager.

Ty Smith and James Mont- gomery scored two goals apiece for United. Danny Naumovski played a strong game in net in the final. In earlier action, United defeated West Rouge 1-0 on a goal by Jose Flores. In their second match, the boys tied North York Cosmos 1-1 on another goal by Flores. Other team members are Marcus Phipps, Thomas Murphy, Zachary Thomson, Corrado Salonia, James Montgomery and Brandon Mc- Caulay.
