BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —In a major compromise, the Province an- nounced Monday it will ex- pand the definition of teaching time, a move that could lead to a full slate of extracurricular activities in Durham Region this fall. Education Minister Janet Ecker made the announcement at Sir John A. Macdonald Pub- lic School in Pickering on the first day of Education Week. “We’re going to broaden (the definition) to change the rules so that on-call, remedia- tion and supervision duties will be counted as instructional time,” she said in an interview. By allowing more flexibili- ty in how school boards can as- sign teaching workloads, Ms. Ecker said, “There’s no reason why we shouldn’t have ex- tracurricular activities this fall.” School boards and teachers, in the collective bargaining process, had flexibility to inter- pret teaching time until March of last year. At that point the ministry narrowed the instruc- tional time definition for high school teachers, excluding on calls. Teachers and school boards complained the defini- tion was too rigid and made it all but impossible to negotiate a contract. On April 12, the Minister’s Advisory Group on Co-in- structional Activities, charged with finding a solution to the after-school activities impasse, released 16 recommendations in its final report. The five- member panel urged the min- istry and other stakeholders to jointly define the duties of teachers. It also called on school boards to recognize that teachers need time to take part in activities. As well, the panel recommended the ministry provide a new budget item in the funding formula to support activities, and return average class sizes in high schools to 22 to free up money. The government apparently listened, as Ms. Ecker also an- nounced Monday $50 million CHARLENE WESTBROOK ‘She sees this has to be resolved immediately’.

Richard Schewe, 31, of Barrett Drive in Ajax, and his two-and-a-half year old daugh- ter Mikaela Grace Schewe were pronounced dead at the scene, said Durham Regional Police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik. Durham police said Tues- day that Mr. Schewe was talk- ing on a cell phone at the mo- ment of impact and believe that was the cause of the crash. Witnesses at the scene said the warning lights were flash- ing and the gates were down at the crossing on Brock Road south of Taunton Road just after 4 p.m. But the 1998 Dodge Ram pickup went through and was hit by the westbound train, which dragged the wreckage for about 100 metres. Dental records were needed to positively identify Mr. Schewe. “He skidded through the barrier. Two seconds later the train hit him,” said witness Ron Dynes.

Pickering residents face 10-per cent tax hike Still some ‘tinkering’ ahead, but residents face average $75 jump BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —City resi- dents will likely be paying an extra 10 per cent in municipal property taxes this year, says Wayne Arthurs. The Pickering mayor report- ed Pickering’s budget commit- tee spent the entire day last Thursday reviewing the City’s 2001 capital and operating bud- gets and added councillors will finalize the budget later this month. And, although staff are still reviewing some areas, Mayor Arthurs says he doesn’t antici- pate any significant changes to the bottom line. “I don’t expect any change in the tax impact,” he said Friday, noting the budget as presented to the committee would result in a 9.8-per cent tax hike to the municipal portion of the bill. That equals an additional $75 per year, for a total tax bill of $777 on a home assessed at $200,000. If approved as is, the City’s net levy for taxation purposes will increase from approximate- ly $22 million in 2000 to $24.1 million this year. Pickering’s capital budget will decrease from $10.2 million last year to $6.6 million this year. According to the finance de- partment, the major 2001 bud- get highlights include eight new staff members in the fire divi- sion, phase one funding for a new fire hall in Brougham, im- provements to Seventh Conces- sion Road, an investment of $495,000 to improve damaged infrastructure, an additional $600,000 investment in the Wa- terfront Trail, $350,000 for playground improvements, ero- sion control for Amberlea Creek, a $271,000 investment in library books and an investment of $542,000 in capital road and infrastructure projects connect- ed to new subdivisions. Mayor Arthurs pointed to four main issues driving this year’s budget, the largest of which is the planned improve- WAYNE ARTHURS ‘I don’t expect any change in the tax impact.’ See PICKERING page 4 PICKERING —Com- munity members are invit- ed to attend a Town Hall meeting being hosted by Ward 1 City Councillor Dave Ryan on Thursday, May 24.

A little girl was trapped inside. I felt for a pulse and I couldn’t find one. “The driver was hanging out the other side. He was banged up pretty bad. I felt for a pulse and couldn’t find one. I went back to the little girl.” The Toronto resident was southbound on Brock when he witnessed the accident. “I have a granddaughter the same age. I did- n’t think I’d see what I saw,” Mr. Dynes said. He described the girl, who was belted into a child safety seat, as “three-and-a-half, maybe four. A little blond girl.” Kristina Sundal of Pickering was northbound on Brock, immediately behind the truck when the crash occurred. “It looked like he didn’t notice the gate was down,” she said, adding once the driver saw the gate was down he skidded. There were skid marks about 10-feet long leading up to the tracks. “Based on the skid marks, it would appear the driver had realized the gates were down just prior to the collision,” Sgt. Grimley said. Mr. Dynes noted the collision was “like a bomb going off. I never saw anything like it be- fore.” He said the train was “clipping along pretty good”. Sgt. Grimley said the maximum speed limit for a train on that stretch of track is 80 km/h. Mr. Dynes also speculated the warning lights and gates came down too fast. “The lady in front of me skidded to a stop as well. The gate seemed to come down awfully fast. I thought the lights flashed and then the gates came down,” Mr. Dynes added. “I was yelling ‘stop, stop.’ It seemed like he hit his brakes and the gate came down at the same time.” Sgt. Grimley said the police would be looking into the warning system to determine if it worked too quickly. — with files from Stephen Shaw A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 9, 2001 Crash claims Ajax man, two-year-old daughter ‘I was yelling stop, stop’: Witness Re c y c l e !

In announcing his government’s plan to introduce mandatory literacy testing and training for welfare recip- ients who struggle with reading, writ- ing and math, Community and Social Services Minister John Baird said in a statement to the house last week that, “We recognize that literacy is a basic yet important skill in today’s marketplace. “We know if you can’t read the job ad, it will be tough to get off wel- fare. “If a welfare recipient can’t pass a basic language and math test, they will be offered help. If they refuse help, they will have made themselves ineligible for welfare in Ontario.” It’s that mandatory component of the program that concerns Mr. Cloutier. “Certainly we come across clients who have literacy and numeracy problems,” he said, noting people who have made it into adulthood without learning how to read or write are “ingenious individuals” many of whom are “very guarded and proud. “The toughest thing for these peo- ple is to step up to the plate and say, ‘I can’t read or write. I need help’,” he said, noting the Region offers to connect any individuals in that situa- tion with the Literacy Network or an adult education basic skills training program. Ms. Pitchforth agreed people are more successful in any program if enrolling in that program was a choice they made. She also said studies conducted for the Literacy Network, which co- ordinates the community planning for all literacy programs in Durham Region, have found “it takes a person about two years after they’ve decided they want to improve their skills for them to really be successful in the programs. They seem to need that time.” Ms. Pitchforth reported there were approximately 1,000 students en- rolled in the various training pro- grams offered across Durham Region during a six-month period last year. She said many programs could ac- commodate additional students, but noted the system could be strained depending on the influx of people and their reading level. Individuals who have very basic skills work best one-on-one, she said. She added most programs rely on volunteer tutors and wonders, “where will we get the volunteers to work with them one-on-one?” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 9, 2001 PAGE 3 A/P Online at durhamregion.com Durham officials balk at literacy for welfare PICKERING 1211 KINGSTON RD.

The budget calls for a 5.4-per cent tax in- crease to accommodate enhancements to improve the level of fire service in the City. The budget for fire protection is proposed to increase from $6.3 million in 2000 to $7.3 million. The mayor also said the City is being impacted this year because of a “signif- icant decrease” in building permit fees. He also noted the “simple inflation- ary costs” associated with running the City and debt service charges are two other areas that account for the proposed increase. Meanwhile, Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner said Friday he’s hopeful the tax impact on residents as a result of the 2001 budget may be less- ened before Council votes May 22. “There is still some tinkering left to be done,” he said. PICKERING from page 1 MPP calls for ban on cellphones while driving DURHAM —The horrific crash that claimed the lives of an Ajax man and his daughter has strengthened Durham MPP John O’Toole’s resolve to pass provincial legislation banning the use of cell phones and other wireless technology in cars. Police say the man was talk- ing on the phone and distracted when his pickup truck crashed through an activated train cross- ing barrier in north Pickering and was struck by a freight train, killing him and his two- year-old instantly. The tragedy comes a week before Mr. O’Toole was to re- introduce a private member’s bill in the legislature that would outlaw cell phones while dri- ving. “It’s an absolute tragedy... It’s a wake-up call for all of us and I’m absolutely determined to reintroduce and strengthen this bill,” said Mr. O’Toole, who tabled a similar bill two years ago only to watch it die when the legislature recessed. Mr. O’Toole said he took up the cause after the issue was drawn to his attention by a con- cerned constituent who “noticed someone go through a four-way stop sign while on a cell phone.” He said several studies have found a direct link between in- creased use of cell phones and collisions and added proposed Highway Traffic Act legislation has the backing of police chiefs in Durham and Toronto. Mr. O’Toole said at least 15 countries have already passed such laws. The deadly collision, mean- while, also occurred the day provincial police kicked off Op- eration Distraction, a campaign targeting careless drivers. Motorists caught driving care- lessly face a fine of $325 and six demerit points. “I’m fed up with drivers reading the paper, tending to their personal hygiene, talking on the cell phone and eating, all while driving their car,” said Supt. Jay Hope. The initiative began Monday and winds up today with a focus on rush-hour periods. Go! Leafs Go!

Province extends olive branch to teachers in extra funding for school boards for local priorities. In ad- dition, school boards would be given the right to exceed the high school class size average by up to one student. “I think this will break the log jam,” panel chairman Doug Brown, who attended Monday’s press conference, said of Ms. Ecker’s announcement. “It’s basically a reversal of Tory doctrine over the last little while. Now it’s up to the boards and unions to return the serve, maybe.” Ms. Ecker also announced the government would introduce a bill to repeal sections of the Edu- cation Accountability Act that would have forced teachers to perform activities. Other sections will be proclaimed, requiring school boards to come up with plans to ensure activities are pro- vided in high schools and to put them in place. Many who attended the an- nouncement were cautiously op- timistic. “It has the potential to be a breakthrough,” said Shelley Page, Durham president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’Fed- eration. “I think the devil is in the details, it always is.” She said if the government does indeed formalize what was announced, there’s the potential to make negotiations between teachers and school boards mean- ingful again. With a strict teach- ing time definition, local control over negotiations was “a façade”, said Ms. Page. Elizabeth Roy, chairman of the Durham District School Board, said “somebody had to let up” in the battle between the Province and teachers. The an- nouncement is “a step forward” in solving the problem. “It’s a good start,” said Char- lene Westbrook, spokesman for the Durham Coalition for Ex- tracurricular Activities. “It shows to me that she sees this has to be resolved immediately.” DOUG BROWN ‘Break the log jam.’ PROVINCE from page 1 QUESTIONS ABOUT PICKING YOUR ELECTRICITY RETAILER?

Could it happen today — could a respected minister’s career be destroyed by a media baron whose plan to redevelop a building was rejected as being unfair to the pub- lic? This is being asked because members of all parties in the legis- lature have eulogized Wilfrid Spooner, a Progressive Conserva- tive minister nearly 40 years ago, who died recently at 91. Tory Pre- mier Mike Harris said he earned the nickname ‘Mr. Northern On- tario’. A Liberal said Mr. Spooner was a legend for helping people and a New Democrat added he did a lot to make working in mines safer. New Democrats usually see Tory governments as soft on min- ing companies. No MPP mentioned how Mr. Spooner stood up to the media magnate and lost his career be- cause of it. This may have been because it happened in the mid- 1960s and none of the current MPPs was elected until 1975 and the history books do not say much about it. Mr. Spooner, who had been mayor of Timmins, was elected an MPP in 1955 and headed the mines and lands and forests min- istries, which meant much to the north and was municipal affairs minister in 1964. He was doing so well the Toronto Telegram, run by John Bassett, described him in editori- als as ‘Queen’s Park’s best admin- istrator’ and a possible choice for premier when John Robarts stepped down. Mr. Spooner’s future seemed as solid as the pre-Cambrian rock from which he came. The Tories were so well-entrenched they had been in power 21 years and were to stay 21 more. Then Mr. Bassett, also a Tory and part-owner of Maple Leaf Gardens and used to getting what he wanted, decided with other key shareholders the famed hockey arena needed 4,000 more seats to accommodate extra fans and add to already huge profits. The building did not have enough space inside, so they wanted to put them in overhangs that would stick out 22 feet at each end of the stadium, notwithstand- ing this was against normal plan- ning practice and would be an eyesore. Toronto City council, on which Mr. Bassett had large influence because he used his paper aggres- sively to support candidates who shared his views and hound those who disagreed, went tamely along. But rezoning to permit the overhangs also required approval by the legislature, and Mr. Spoon- er, who was quiet and courteous but could be stubborn, went be- fore a committee of MPPs to say they would be ugly and offend good planning and the MPPs re- jected the request. After Mr. Spooner helped block the application, the ‘Telegram’ ran no fewer than 26 editorials in three years saying he was incompetent, complacent, ar- rogant, insulting, failed to speak up for municipalities, interfered in their decisions and for all the good he did, might as well not exist at all. One editorial had a headline across three columns blasting ‘The inadequate Mr. Spooner’and another headed ‘Spooner’s inepti- tude’ asked why Mr. Robarts kept a minister who “has done more than anyone to damage relations between the government and pub- lic.” Mr. Spooner lost in the 1967 election and always felt the at- tacks on him by the ‘Telegram’ damaged his reputation even in his far-flung riding and caused his de- feat and said so. Mr. Spooner went back home to sell insurance and real estate and lent a hand to almost every civic cause and a Tory government appointed him for a time chairman of the Ontario Northland Trans- portation Commission. But, al- though he tried once more, he never got back in the legislature. Mr. Bassett went on to close the 95-year-old ‘Telegram’for $10 million given by a competing paper. Another of his services to journalism was, as head of a pri- vate TV station awarded by a Tory federal government for services, to give Tory premier William Davis an excuse he wanted to avoid having a leaders’TV debate in the 1981 election. Mr. Davis said he would have one only if all networks produced it, which sounded reasonable, but Mr. Bassett refused to produce one jointly with a rival. He nonetheless was inducted into the Canadian News Hall of Fame, which supposedly honours those who make distinguished contribu- tions to the media. When Mr. Bassett died in 1998, Mr. Harris attended his funeral, but it is likely the one who ended with more respect was Mr. Spoon- er. Could it happen again? Papers often test the limits of fairness at- tacking parties they disagree with, but none has gone to such ex- tremes recently promoting its boss’s business interests — the likely outcry by other papers would be a deterrent. Minister faced relentless attack Could similar campaign work against today’s politicians? You said it The question was: What’s your reaction to the provincial government relaxing its strict definition of teaching time to allow the return of extracurriculars to high schools? It may have been a long time coming, but Education Minister Janet Ecker’s extracurriculars-solution an- nouncement was welcome news Monday. Ms. Ecker, who has stood firm against the slings and arrows tossed her way by all manner of teachers’ unions, decided to hold tight on the issue of teaching time from the day she became minister right up until Monday. The Ontario Secondary Schools Teacher’s Federation was prepared to battle over the imposition of 6.5 classes out of eight, up from the previous six classes. Its drastic, unfortunate answer was to withdraw in large numbers from providing extracurricular activities. Due to the bickering between the sides, almost four years of high school sports, plays and bands, among many other activities, were lost for many students in Durham. Nothing much has changed since those initial battles in the fall of 1997. It was clear teachers would not budge and students faced year after year of no after-school activities. There had been an extracurriculars task force that toured the province earlier this year to meet students, par- ents and administrators and which made its recommenda- tions two months ago. The details were released to the public a few weeks ago and Monday’s announcement touched on or implemented a number of the panel’s key recommendations. It remains for all sides to come to a final agreement, but should teachers agree with Ms. Ecker’s proposal, we’ll have extracurriculars peace for the first time in years. The minister has pledged $50 million to school boards to help alleviate the increased needs brought on by ex- tracurriculars; will allow boards to increase class sizes by up to one student; broaden the definition of instructional time to recognize on calls, remedial and supervisory time as part of teaching workloads; develop provincewide stan- dards for volunteer training for extracurriculars; and work with the College of Teachers to provide courses to prepare teachers for leadership roles in extracurriculars. It only makes sense to get rid of the provision in Bill 74 that would have seen school principals stuck with the re- sponsibility of assigning teachers to extracurricular activ- ities. Always an unworkable idea, the bill would have put principals in an impossible position. For the sake of the students, let’s get a full slate of ex- tracurriculars going and make our high schools the lively, spirited places they used to be and can be once again. What kind of a community do you live in? Do you know your neighbours? Are you satisfied with the police presence in your little corner of the world? Is your community different from others, or do you feel they’re all the same? The answers to these questions — and many more - are being sought this week by Statistics Canada for its census. Conducted every five years, census information helps gov- ernment and social agencies determine the makeup of com- munities in Canada. It determines who lives where, and in what numbers. It provides a snapshot into our lives and helps guide governments in a number of areas, including regional funding, social spending, program creation and other ser- vices. More importantly, perhaps, is the picture it creates of us as we are. And, by comparing with data gathered in the last cen- sus (or the one before that), the information gathered in the 2001 version may help tell the direction in which we’re head- ing. Two questionnaires are being distributed to homes across Canada. One is shorter and seeks basic personal data; the other is much longer and seeks such information as daily ac- tivities, the birthplace of your parents, or insight into your community. By filling out your census (and you could be fined $500 if you don’t) you are fulfilling an important civic obligation. By providing a glimpse into your life, you are also providing a glimpse into the lives of thousands of other Canadians, whether they live in Ajax or Ancaster, Pickering or Port Col- borne. Get your pens and pencils ready. Take the time to fill in those important blanks. Provide that snapshot. Look at it not as an invasion of privacy, but as a tool to help your fellow Canadians. And if you’re really, really lucky, you’ll get the long form. Shawn Howard said, “Bring them back as soon as possible. There needs to be something to do for kids so crime won’t go up.” Harry Carruthers said, “The gov- ernment was supposed to do an agreement with teachers a long time ago. It’s excellent they came through.” Jacqueline Moriarty said, “It’s great and overdue. It’s a shame that stu- dents lost a lot of time because that is a part of a high school edu- cation.” Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 9, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Sign your organ donor card – it may save someone else To the editor: Re: ‘One girl, seven gifts,’ story, and ‘Jordan’s legacy,’ editorial, May 2. Thank you for sharing Jordan Menard’s story. We, too, in a way share her story. Last September our daughter received a kidney transplant. In 1997 our daughter, then 14, suddenly took seriously ill. Dur- ing her seven-month stay at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Chil- dren, her kidneys lost their fight for recovery. This left Sylvia de- pendent on dialysis. For the next three years she spent 10 hours each day hooked to a dialysis machine at home. She was weak, unable to eat much and weighed all of 89 pounds at age 17. She could not participate in most of the activi- ties that are a teenager’s privi- lege. Learning to drive, having sleepovers, holding a part-time job, trips to Wonderland — all of this was beyond her physical abilities. During her years of illness we came to know numbers of chil- dren in ward 6A at Sick Kids. I watched these families come to grips with the fact they too could face the tragedy of losing a child. Jordan’s mom and dad prayer- fully and anxiously waited for a different outcome to their story. It didn’t happen. But, because of their generosity and thoughtful- ness during the worst point of their lives, further tragedies were averted. Someone else gets a sec- ond chance. Each month Sylvia’s kidney lives on I think of the family that gave her a chance to live again. We will always remember them and be so very thankful. Organ transplants are not heal- ings; they have their own set of difficulties. Also one never knows how long they will last or if they will be rejected. They do, however, offer a child (or an adult for that matter) a chance to regain their feeling of wellness and live on strong and well. Due to research and drugs, the success of a transplant is better than ever. Certainly sign the donor cards, speak to your family and tell them of your wishes. Many tragedies won’t happen because you did. To Yvette and Brian Menard, and the hundreds of other heroes, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope they continue to find comfort in the fact other lives were saved thanks to them.

DURHAM —‘Be Prepared Not Scared’ in an emergency. The Durham Region Red Cross branch is offer- ing individuals and groups a chance to improve their emergency responses and preparation during Emergency Preparedness Week May 7 to 13. Red Cross is handing out the booklet ‘Be Pre- pared Not Scared’, which deals with issues such as what to do in a disaster, how to prepare for an emergency, and offers advice on what to do in a disaster’s aftermath. The booklet goes along with the theme of this year’s Emergency Preparedness Week: ‘Reducing the Risk: Toward Safer Communities in the 21st Century’. “Power failures, chemical spills or bad windstorms could happen here and every person should have some idea of what they would do if it happened to them,” said Sharon Walker, the Durham Region Red Cross branch manager. “Our area has been relatively untouched by a major disaster in recent years but the same princi- ples apply for preparing for a minor interruption,” she said. People interested in obtaining a copy of the Red Cross’booklet or becoming involved with the Red Cross can call 905-723-2933.

Jimmie ‘JJ’ Walker — the star of the beloved 1970s comedy sitcom ‘Good Times’ — will be on stage at Yuk Yuk’s East in Ajax May 10 to 13. According to Walker’s Web site, he grew up in New York City’s south Bronx ‘ghetto’ playing basketball and ignoring school. He left school before graduating and worked at a number of odd jobs, later returning to night school to earn his diploma. His educa- tion led him into radio engineering and eventually comedy writing where he excelled. His comedic bent eventually led him to hone his stand-up act at several New York clubs in the late ‘60s where he met up with other new talents such as David Brenner, Bette Midler and Steve Landesberg. Walker’s big break came with a guest appearance on the ‘Jack Parr Show’ in 1972. His appearance was a memorable one that eventually led to him being cast as JJ Evans on ‘Good Times’ that debuted on Feb. 1, 1974. The series — where Walker made ‘dyn-o-mite’ a household word — en- joyed a successful six-year run on tele- vision until 1979. In addition to being a talk-radio host in the U.S., Walker currently tours the country 25 to 30 weeks a year doing his stand-up comedy. He also performs on late- night television and game shows. In his spare time he writes scripts for televi- sion and movies. On the comedy bill with Walker are Justin Landry and Glenn Ottaway. May begins at the club with head- liner Sean Collins on stage this week- end, May 3 to 6. Wafik Nasralia and Stewart Silver are also on stage. Tom Stade, along with John Beuh- ler and Anna Gustafson, entertain May 17 to 20. Ronnie Edwards provides the com- edy May 24 to 27. He’ll share the stage with fellow comedians Herb Irving and Johnny Gardhouse. Winston Spear will end the month from May 31 to June 3. Nikki Payne and Ian Sirota are also on the comedy slate. Ticket prices range from $4 to $15 per person. Yuk Yuk’s East is at 235 Bayly St., Ajax. For more information and reserva- tions, call 416-967-6425.

Mathematics can be looked upon as a series of building blocks. You start by learning to count, and progress through the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, to such practical applications as measurement of length, area, volume, mass, time and money. Rounding off the elementary concepts come estimation, interpretation of data, and problem solving. Only when these basics are firmly in place, can your child progress to more advanced concepts of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and finite math. As a life skill, the subject of mathematics must be successfully addressed for a child to be able to function in today’s environment. The current Ontario math curriculum is challenging and sets out very specific expectations, which must be accomplished by the end of each grade in order to qualify for progression to subsequent grades. Having said these things, we recognize that not everybody has a flair for math, nor is everybody expected to study the subject at an advanced level. It is, however, incumbent on all students to develop math skills to their fullest potential in order to keep the doors open for pursuit of the many opportunities requiring competency in math. The Grade Math Program in Pickering is an excellent assistance program and is the best alternative to Kumon. The Grade Math Program covers grades one through eight and strictly adheres to the Ontario math curriculum. The Grade Math Program consists of fifteen minutes of home study five evenings per week, two evenings of instruction and all materials. The cost of the program is a very reasonable $70 per month, plus a $25 dollar registration fee. For more information, please call the Pickering Grade Math Programs at (905) 831-4643. The Grade Math Program in Pickering is an excellent assistance program.

Eight local players were taken in the an- nual draft by various teams, seven from the Ajax-Pickering Raiders ‘AAA’ major ban- tam hockey team alone. The format of this year’s draft was a marked departure from previous years as for the first time ever it was conducted over the Internet rather than being hosted by an OHL town. Ajax-Pickering Raiders major bantam defenceman Noel Coultice, 16, was the first-round choice, 20th overall, of the Erie (Pennsylvania) Otters. Coultice was surprised to see his name pop up on the computer screen at home and, a split second earlier, receive the obligatory phone call from Otters’ managing partner and general manager Sherry Bassin wel- coming him to the team. “I had people telling me that I could go in the first round, second round or third round,” said the 6-foot, 160-pound defend- er. “I would have been happy to be drafted anywhere, but I was really excited to go in the first round. It was un- expected. You don’t know what’s going to happen in the draft.” The Otters, said Coultice, were up front about drafting him after a meeting with Bassin for a half-hour before one of his league games. The Otters’ GM came right to the point — Coultice was one of the players they wanted to pluck from the draft. “It was a good conversation,” re- called Coultice. “He said, ‘there are three guys we want in the draft, and you’re one of them’.” Coultice registered nine goals and 19 assists for 28 points in 31 games last season with a plus-28 plus-minus rating. The Pickering resident added a goal and three as- sists in four playoff games. “Noel skates a lot like (current Otters’ Chris) Campoli and (Carlo) Colaiacovo and he can really shoot the puck,” said Bassin on the Ot- ters’ Web site. “He’s a very goal- oriented achiever and he’s very ex- cited to be coming to Erie.” Coultice says he’ll visit Erie in the next two weeks where he’ll visit the school he’ll be attending and setting up a billet where he will reside during the hockey season. “I’m definitely going to miss my family and friends. They mean a lot to me... that’s the only downside, though,” said Coultice. The surprise of the draft came when the Guelph Storm laid claim to Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers’ sniper Matt Christie, 16, with their second-round pick, 33rd overall. The surprise was that Christie was drafted at all, as letters were sent prior to the draft, advising teams that he had elected to play hockey at a U.S. college in two years, and would not be reporting to any OHL club that drafted him. The Storm opted, however, to take a chance on the Ajax resident reconsidering his decision. Christie is expected to play one more year in the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’Hockey League, but not necessarily with the Pickering Panthers, although he hasn’t completely ruled out returning to the club for a second season. The 5-foot, 11-inch, 180-pound forward led the Panthers in scoring in his rookie season with 21 goals and 49 assists in 49 games. Christie was also seventh on the league’s scoring list. The Toronto St. Michael’s Majors chose Michael Alexiou, 16, — a 6-foot, three-inch centre from the Ajax-Pickering Raiders bantams — in the third round, 56th overall. One round later, the Majors picked right- wing Brett McConnachie, 16, in the fourth round. The five-foot, 10-inches, 175-pound forward also played with the Raiders’ ban- tams last season. Ajax-Pickering Raiders bantam goal- tender Sean O’Sullivan, 16, was picked by the Kitchener Rangers in the seventh round, 124th overall. Raiders’ bantams’ left-wing Brandon Franey, 16, was taken in the 10th round, 182nd overall, by the Oshawa Generals. The Sudbury Wolves picked Kyle Mar- tiniuk, a six-foot, two-inch, 185-pound de- fenceman with the Raiders’ bantams last season, in the 12th round, 237th overall. The Erie Otters selected Ajax-Pickering Raiders bantams right-wing Chad Glode, 16, with their 13th-round pick (260th over- all).

Pickering played rival Ajax in the championship final. After falling behind by a goal in the first period, Pickering unloaded six goals into the Ajax net to win 6-2. Nicholas Baun, Jay Henry, Mark Sterling, Derek Wells, Tyler Kotsopolous and Jake McNorto scored. Assists went to Kyle Inglis with two, and Karim Corringham, Baun, Henry, Wells, Brendan Weter- ing and Dillon Bess with one apiece. Ryan Hoefs and Bren- dan Fox supplied outstanding defensive work. The novices finished first in their division and advanced to the semifinals against Markham. The game was prob- ably the most exciting of the year as Pickering prevailed 1-0. Pickering’s goaltending duo of Brandon Walker and Derek Redmond recorded their third shutout in four games. Baun scored the lone goal, assisted by Henry and Patrick Booth. Pickering opened round-robin play against Durham West, recording a 2-0 win. Scoring for Pickering was Henry and Baun with Redmond and Walker splitting the shutout. Next up was Welland and the Panthers recorded another shutout by a 4-0 score. Goals came from Curtis Henderson, Baun, Kotsopoulos and Mc- Norton, with two assists from Inglis and singles from Henry, Wells and Ryan Sawyer. Vaughan was the Panthers’ next adversary and an excellent game resulted in a 2-2 tie. Baun and Henry scored with assists to Booth, Sawyer and Henry. PICKERING —The Rain- bow Classic Gymnastics Meet has steadily gained a glowing reputation as one of the best in- vitational competitions in the province, notes one of the meet’s organizers. Hosted by the Pickering Aerials Gymnastics Club, the eighth annual Rainbow Classic will be held at the Pickering Recreation Complex this Friday through Sunday. More than 500 gymnasts, representing clubs from across the province, are expected to compete. “I’m fairly confident in say- ing that it is the largest invita- tional meet offered within Gymnastics Ontario,” noted Tanya Szpak, Aerials’ head coach. What makes the competition such a must on the gymnastics calendar across Ontario is it caters to the widest spectrum of gymnasts and not just to elite athletes, said Szpak. “It’s one of the most sought after invitational meets in the province, it really is,” she said, adding numerous volunteers are behind the organization of the meet. “That’s based on provid- ing every child at every level the chance to compete at this kind of forum. It’s usually the elite athlete who competes at this type of venue. This brings an excitement to the competition.” The Aerials, said Szpak, will be well represented again this year. A total of 68 athletes from the pre-competitive, interclub and provincial-stream levels are expected to compete. The competition gets under way Friday at 8 a.m. and conti- nuntil approximately 8 p.m. The highlight of Saturday’s gymnas- tics program is the event finals for provincial-stream gymnasts in the evening. The competition runs 8 a.m. until about 8 p.m. Sunday. There will be a nominal charge to attend NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 9, 2001 PAGE 17 P Gymnasts ready to search for gold at end of Rainbow Major novices pound Ajax for tournament title Rodney’s Oyster House, May 10th Highway 2 Bro c k R d Liv e r p o o l R d Kingston Rd.

ADVERTISING FEATURE A buyer’s guide to fairway woods (cont.) GOLF 05/08 KNIGHT RIDDER/TRIBUNE THE COLOR OF MONEY Talk about leaving a little cash on the table in Vegas. Consider this sto- ry: By the time Scott Hoch finally decided he’d be playing at Greens- boro — only his second visit home to North Carolina in eight years — his regular caddie,Damon Green, was in Las Vegas on vacation. So Hoch hooked up with an old friend,Mike Hicks, Payne Stew- art’s former caddie, who lives in Carolina and had the week off. And when the final putt fell on the last hole, it was Hicks, not Green, who was in line to collect the estimated $63,000 cut that is doled to the champion’s caddie. The Forecaddie has had some bad nights at the tables before, but never to the tune of 63 large. Ouch. More important than the money, however, Hicks’presence seemed to have a calming effect on Hoch, who had not won since 1997 and found himself trying to draw inspiration from Stewart on the back nine Sun- day. “I just told him (Stewart) to help us get through today,” Hoch said. “I really felt that he was out there.” OPEN SEASON Tom Watson has decided against mailing his ap- plication for U.S. Open Sec- tional Qualify- ing, which means unless he receives a special exemption, the 1982 cham- pion will miss the U.S. Open for the first time in 30 years. Watson, 51, received an exemp- tion to play at Pebble Beach last year — his third special invite to the U.S. Open since 1993 — but said there are probably more deserving candidates for exemptions this sum- mer. Worth noting:Watson finished fifth, 13th and 27th the three years he used special invites, making good use of his opportunities. The U.S. Golf Association has until the end of the month to decide on special exemptions. TAP-INS AND LIP-OUTS Dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s has taken longer than expected on a pending blockbuster deal between the Walt Disney Co.and Tiger Woods, but the Forecaddie hears it’s definitely going to happen. Sources close to the negotiations thought a deal would have been fi- nalized in January or February. ... What has Tiger Woods been doing since the Masters? Resting, hanging out, cutting commercials and raising money for the Tiger Woods Founda- tion. — Golfweek The PGA Tour, one of America’s most ex- clusive private clubs, has an access problem. Growing numbers of young stars,the supposed Tiger challengers of tomorrow, are having in- creased difficulty gaining spots on the Tour and even its so-called developmen- tal Buy.com satellite. The Buy.com (then Hogan) Tour began in 1990 as a proving ground for up-and-com- ers, secondarily as a place for veterans to pre- pare for the Senior Tour. What it largely has be- come is a redevelopmental tour for middle-age men who can’t stay on the PGA Tour. It is as much about 1970s-80s Tour retreads as new millennium stars. The Tour should be ashamed that its eligibil- ity rules so favor the hangers-on and has-beens, mainly in the Buy.com bushes. Out of the rich pool of 2000 NCAA golf players, only one, Je- remy Anderson,earned a PGA Tour card for this year. More amazing, only one of those colle- gians,David Gossett,has full Buy.com status. Outrage would ensue if only one player from the recent draft of college football talent made it to the NFL this fall. Few college baseball players go directly to the ma- jors,but at least there are several lev- els of minor leagues for grooming. Charles Howell III, Adam Scott, Aaron Baddeley, Paul Casey, Matt Kuchar, Edward Loar, James McLean, Jess Daley, Michael Kirk and Ben Curtis are all decorated new professionals who have no status on the Buy.com, much less the PGA Tour. The Buy.com should be all about tomor- row’s stars. The Tour should want to develop and showcase them. But these players have to look elsewhere — to Europe, South Africa, Australia, Canada, domestic mini-tours, Mon- day qualifying, sponsor exemptions. That hardly bodes well for the 2001 class of Bryce Molder, Luke Donald, Lucas Glover, James Driscoll and Jeff Quinney. Peruse Buy.com fields. Ken Green, Greg Twiggs, Trevor Dodds, Ernie Gonzalez, Keith Clearwater, Larry and Lee Rinker, Denis Wat- son, Richard Zokol, Bob Lohr, Jay Delsing, Brad Fabel, Danny Briggs, Curt Byrum, Michael Allen, Gary Hallberg, David Rum- mels, Dan Pohl, Mike Sullivan, Willie Wood, and Mike Donald are in their early to mid-40s. Are they already preparing for the Senior Tour? Buy.commers Bobby Wadkins, Dave Barr, R.W. Eaks, Morris Hatalsky, Dick Mast and Danny Edwards are or soon will be 49. Bobby Cole is 52. What’s he training for, the Super Seniors? What might happen if the youngsters got a better shot? Consider the story of Jonathan Byrd. The 23-year-old rookie out of Clemson won the Buy.com Charity Pro-Am at the Cliffs in South Carolina. Byrd, who has partial Buy.com status because of his Q-School finish, was making only his second start of the season after failing four times at Monday qualifying. More often than not, young guys such as Byrd are sitting and watching from the side- line. In March,there were nine more players in their 40s in the Buy.com Monterrey Open than in the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic. The average age in each was 35. The Tour actually adopted two rules last year to get MORE aging ex-Tour players on the Buy.com. NCAA champi- on Howell showed he can play with the big boys by becom- ing a special tem- porary member last year and ranking in the PGA Tour’s top 150 after only 13 starts. But that earned him no status this year, even on the Buy.com. Mike Hul- bert, 209th in earn- ings last year,stands to get in more Tour events than Howell. The conclusion is that pro golf is eating its young to save its old. The so-called develop- mental tour seems more about survival of fat- test than fittest. The Buy.com needs to be retooled, pronto, starting from scratch with eligibility. The Tour spearheads a 20-20 initiative but has shortsighted Buy.com vision. The Buy.com is too much about past and not enough about promise. The kids don’t need an advantage. They’re already at a disadvantage — even upon joining a tour — in terms of experience, priority status and tee times. They just need a place to play. It’s bad enough that the Tour’s three-stage Q-School, like Monday qualifying, is a crap- shoot. Last fall, more than 1,100 entrants com- peted for 35 spots,plus ties. Curiously,the Tour has one qualifying tournament for two tours, whereas the Canadian Tour has three qualify- ing events a year. And the PGA Tour Q-School runs concurrent with the European Tour’s, fur- ther limiting options. The time has come to trim Buy.com free rides for veterans who don’t succeed. To con- sider raising the number of Buy.com exemp- tions (now around 50) from Q-School. To con- sider two Buy.com qualifiers, one in June after the NCAAs. To consider a separate Buy.com qualifier in autumn. To consider a Buy.com system similar to the old PGA Tour method — top 60 exempt list and Monday qualifying. To grant Buy.com access to NCAA and U.S. Am- ateur champions, if not the top 10 collegians. It’s time to open things up and make current performance matter more than a dusty resume. JEFF RUDE Golfweek The last of a two-part series. BY MICHAEL GRAY Golf For Women magazine New technology and more innovative de- signs have made fairway woods easier to hit. However, buying a new fairway wood can be a confusing proposition. Last week we answered a trio of questions about buying fairway woods. This week we continue our look into selecting the best clubs for you: Q:Do my fairway woods all need to be from the same manufacturer? A:Most manufacturers build their fairway woods in 3- to 4-degree loft increments to pro- duce a 10- to 15-yard differential between clubs. If you choose to mix and match clubs from dif- ferent manufacturers, keep in mind what each manufacturer’s lofts are and try to maintain con- sistent loft gaps between the clubs. In some in- stances this won’t be possible, because club specs like loft, lie and length can vary widely from manufacturer to manufacturer. But try to make sure there’s a consistent yardage differen- tial between the woods you buy, regardless of brand. Q:Should I get fitted for fairway woods? A:It’s extremely important to get fitted before buying any golf club. The following measure- ments should be taken to ensure a proper fitting: (1) The retailer or pro should clock your swing speed with a laser clubhead speed measurer to determine what flex your shaft should have. (2) The distance from your wrist to the floor should be gauged while you stand up straight with your arms to your side to pinpoint your ideal club length. (3) The size of your hand should be mea- sured to decide the necessary grip size of your club. (4) Your ideal lie angle should be deter- mined by hitting a ball off a lie board, which leaves a mark on your club indicating how much and what part of the sole touches the ground at impact. This fitting process takes no more than 10 minutes. Q:Should I consider a set of low-profile woods? A:Low-profile woods have become quite pop- ular in the last few years, and they can offer tan- gible performance benefits over traditional de- signs. The main feature of low-profile clubs is a low center of gravity, which helps you hit the ball higher. For shots from the fairway or rough, low- profile woods are generally easier to hit than tra- ditional models. Some golfers, however, are un- comfortable using low-profile woods off the tee because of their shallow clubfaces, and thus pre- fer to stick with the good, old oversize heads. Q:What’s the difference between steel and ti- tanium fairway woods? A:Though titanium proves to be an excellent material to use in drivers, it hasn’t been particularly suc- cessful in fairway woods. The main advantage titanium has over steel is its lighter weight, which allows designers to build larger clubheads without making them any heavier. This is great for drivers because they’re hit almost exclusively off the tee; fairway woods, however, are designed to be hit off the ground, and an oversize clubhead often makes this more difficult. As a result, the size of most manufacturers’titanium fairway wood heads are only marginally larger than those of their steel fairway woods, making weight and length (tita- nium fairway woods are usually up to an inch longer than steel) the only major technical differ- ences between the two. So, while most golfers prefer a titanium driver, they usually opt for steel in their fairway woods. Steel’s less expensive, too.

Cast your vote at: www.golfweek.com Tom Watson ETIQUETTE&RULES Q:I hit my ball onto the putting green, marked and lifted it. The next player chipped her ball di- rectly in front of my ball-marker. Since both golf balls were in exactly the same spot, who should putt first? A:According to Rule 10, the ball to be played first should be decided by flipping a coin. Once you de- cide who plays first, move one of the ball- markers one putter-head length to the side, then putt the first ball. Move the other ball- marker back in place, replace the second ball and putt it. — Golf For Women magazine (www.golfforwomen.com) NCAA champion Charles Howell III ranked in the PGA Tour’s top 150 last year but has no status this year on the Buy.com Tour. Instead,he’ll be watching older players like Bobby Wadkins (far right) from the sidelines. 78% PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/KRT Today’s fairway woods have come far since the days of Persimmon woods.
