Region hopes Ajax, Pickering will join others in new initiatives BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —Residents in four Durham municipalities could be taking out the garbage in a whole new way this fall as part of a recommended $17.3-million re- gional waste budget for 2002. The Region hopes to work with the remaining municipalities to form similar arrangements for in- tegrating the collection of waste to include curbside composting and more recyclables as part of Durham’s goal for higher diver- sion rates. “With this we are on our way to meeting the 50-per cent target of diversion by 2007 and from a fi- nancial standpoint things seem to be well in hand,” finance commis- sioner Jim Clapp told a joint com- mittee of works and finance Wednesday. The new waste budget will in- clude a plan to assume collection in Clarington through Canadian Waste Services and collection in Uxbridge, Brock and Scugog through Miller Waste. The new system includes a curbside com- post collection and expanded recy- cling program. All four municipal- ities were due to renew waste con- tracts in 2002. The Region hopes to persuade Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Picker- ing to join similar programs in the future. Oshawa and Whitby pro- vide their own collection using municipal staff while Ajax and Pickering are both bound by cur- rent contracts with private collec- tors. BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —It looks like Pickering has all the right num- bers on its bingo card and, as a result, the grand prize appears to be an extra $50,000 annually for the next five years. That will be the annual in- crease in revenues from the local bingo hall and charities after in- creasing the price of a 26-event bingo licence by 370 per cent. The rate will stay frozen for a minimum of five years. But, the local bingo hall and charitable groups that use it to raise money say they’re happy considering what the alternative could have Abuse survivors invited to find support See DURHAM page 2 Bingo!

Oshawa Councillor Clare Aker asked the committee to consider taking $298,000 from a $17-million waste reserve fund to reduce the tax impact. “The account is earning $450,000 in in- terest every year,” the councillor said, adding the Region has an obligation to re- turn taxpayers’ money to them and use the re- serve for capital projects. Regional Chairman Roger Anderson cau- tioned the timing is not ideal to be removing money from the fund be- cause major capi- tal projects could be in Durham’s future and the re- serve will be needed. One pos- sible considera- tion is for the Re- gion to build an energy-from- waste facility using the reserve fund. Works com- mittee chairman and Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson said while tipping fees are still relatively reasonable for landfill now, that may not always be the case and the Region must be prepared. “I don’t think we should take from that account right now. If you’re at the mercy of the pri- vate sector a few years from now and tipping fees go through the roof (for waste disposal) you are going to need that money,” he said. The committee voted against Coun. Aker’s re- quest. Other budget highlights in- clude a new haz- ardous waste drop-off facility in Ajax near the Pickering border and another in Clarington at the current Canadian Waste Transfer Station at Hwy. 35/115 and Hwy. 2. The company is currently build- ing a new transfer station in south Courtice. The committee has deferred a decision on whether to partially fund two waste pilot projects, a composting program initiated by the Town of Whitby and a three- stream cart collection program for 500 residents in Pickering. “If municipalities are going to get involved in trying out new processes we can all learn from, there should be some support for it,” said Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle. The budget still needs to be ap- proved by Regional council at its meeting next Wednesday,April 17.

Mr. McGuinty wrote the board two weeks ago “as a Canadian, as a Catholic and as the father of four,” asking that it do “the right thing” and reverse its deci- sion. “I cannot understand how the deci- sion to invite his boyfriend to his high school prom poses a threat to Catholic education,” he stated. Bishop Meagher, Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto for the Northern and Durham Regions, in the letter states while the de- cision is not his to make, “my own opin- ion is that the principal and the trustees and the director of education are follow- ing the correct course of action. “When all is said and done, a con- certed effort is being made here to get the Catholic school system to approve a homosexual lifestyle and our 17-year- old is being manipulated in this effort.” Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira said she was grateful for the letter. “I appreciated Bishop Meagher’s let- ter; I do not appreciate the one he was responding to,” she said. “(Mr. McGuin- ty) did Catholics a disservice and he did politicians a disservice.” NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 12, 2002 PAGE 3 A/P Bishop stands behind Catholic board DURHAM —Four of eight Catholic trustees had perfect attendance records last year, according to a report on the April 8 meeting agenda.

The fee for a 26-event bingo licence in Pickering was $290, which works out to three per cent of the prize board for the first event and $5 for each event thereafter. Pickering’s committee of the whole approved a fee re- structuring to .75 per cent of the total prize board for each event, meaning the cost of a 26-event licence will rise to $1,072.50. Council is expected to ap- prove the increase Monday night. The City stands to gross $70,000 annually from the li- censing increase, whereas pre- viously it received $20,100. Last December, a clerk’s re- port recommended raising the fee to one per cent in 2002 for all events. The proposal also called for the fee to be raised an addi- tional one per cent for the next two years up to the maximum three per cent currently al- lowed by the Gaming Control Commission. While several other munici- palities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) charge the maxi- mum, Pickering councillors voted unanimously to direct staff to go back to the drawing board, talk to the charitable groups, and come up with a more suitable fee. “The organizations in- volved have accepted the in- crease as reasonable,” said Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner. “It’s still lower in relation to other municipalities in the GTA.” Thirty-six charitable orga- nizations run 1,716 bingo events out of the Delta Bingo Hall every year. When faced with City staff’s original proposal, Anna Hawe, manager of Delta Bingo, originally thought she may have to cancel early morning and mid-afternoon sessions, leaving some chari- ties a few numbers short of a full card. However, the adjusted in- creases have her calling a dif- ferent number. “The increase isn’t signifi- cant enough to warrant can- celling the sessions,” she said. “We all sat down and dis- cussed it and we felt the city was due an increase... We’re all OK with it; any increase takes dollars away from the charities, but we need to be fair as well.” Ms. Hawe said she was par- ticularly pleased with the five- year moratorium because the hall and the charities now know they won’t be hit in the near future with further in- creases.

I think the fun has been taken out of hockey from the professional level right down to tyke house-league play. We — my family — are big hock- ey fans, and are very much involved in the sport. My husband is coach of my sons’ house league and select teams, I’m the manager of both, and all our children play and enjoy the game. And there’s the key word: game. Parents and coaches, please, re- member hockey is a game. As a coach, your primary goal should be to assist each child in improving his or her hockey skills and to see each child having fun. Otherwise, they’ll want to quit. League executives: forget the power-tripping and remember you’re in it for the kids. Parents, please keep in mind your children play the game mainly to have fun, not necessarily to be groomed to be the next Wayne Gretzky so that you can live vicari- ously through them. As a matter of fact, those who shine at a young age may level off later, while the weaker players may become the next NHL greats. Competition is good and is to be encouraged, but only if it’s done without pressure. There have been some disturbing events this year in hockey. There was the news a coach was beaten to death by a parent after a hockey practice. I witnessed a fist fight between a coach and a parent at a tyke-level (ages 6 and 7) game this year over the fact the child did not receive the numbered sweater the parent wanted him to have! Spectator fighting does not com- pletely shock me. While watching minor hockey games this year, I was angered to hear parents make negative comments about someone else’s child (child being the operative word here). What kind of role model are these adults being as they swear and scream at the players, the volunteer coaches, and the referees? Games have been decided by adults protesting. The kids want to decide the game on — not off — the ice. Increasingly, parents are paying their children for goals scored. Not only does that put children under an enormous amount of pressure, but it also doesn’t promote team play, which is what the game is all about. Please bear in mind my comments are not directed at everyone involved in hockey. I have met many great peo- ple this season but, for the rest, let’s not destroy our favourite national pas- time! Come on, let’s not destroy our national pastime Jennifer Hibbert Opinion Shaper shouston@durhamregion.com Fist fights, heckling, other abuse hurting all levels of hockey P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 12, 2002 Time for council to deal with bay mess To the editor: Re: News Advertiser articles, city taxes... bare bones budget... focus on downtown core... ad nauseam. The key word is focus. Pickering, according to some, is the first millennium city in North America. People from a real city find this laughable. There is no other city or municipality on the great lakes that has a harbour en- trance sporting a large sign that reads: Hazard-danger. Focus. No other port has a dump greeting wa- tercraft operators. Our city is most defi- nitely unique. Focus. No other harbour has a sunken barge and derelict machinery or dangerous rub- ble mixed with sharp metal protrusions gracing an expensive waterfront millenni- um trail section. Focus. My blood boils when I view the dis- graceful state of the bay’s west side. Two rusting trailers and a closed section of a roadway with boulders and caution signs greet visitors and locals alike. Focus. The waterfront trail beside my house has a sign declaring no winter mainte- nance. However, a new Monarch Trail around our tarnished jewel (bay) is in the works. Focus. Council members vote themselves rais- es and up the taxes. The next time you go to work tell your boss you’re going to give yourself a raise, see how he or she reacts. Only two councillors are working to promote the east side of the bay. How many times must it be said to the City fa- thers — rule with a fist of iron. “Outside” forces should be dealt with firmly. This city is your home, look after it. That’s why you were elected. Be the cus- todian we expect. And work assiduously with the few who give a damn. Focus.

The latest results, just released, show an amazing improve- ment by Ontario English-speaking students over the last group of tests, conducted in 1997. The tests take in 18 student groups: English students in the 10 provinces and three territories, plus French pupils in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In 1997, just 50 per cent of the 13-year-old English Ontario students met test standards in the content portion, ranking the group a disappointing 15th. However, by 2001, 63.4 per cent had hit the standard, and the group climbed all the way to fourth in the country. The improvement was even more marked in problem-solving where the 1997 numbers showed the English Ontario test group at just 45.4 per cent, a dismal 15th. That number in 2001 was 68.7 per cent, more than 23 percentage points better, and good enough for sixth in Canada. The results strongly suggest curriculum changes inaugurated several years ago are having an extremely positive effect. “There’s no reason, with the excellence of our students and teachers and our curriculum, there’s no reason we can’t set a standard for the country eventually,” said a pleased Education Minister Janet Ecker. The numbers weren’t quite as glittering for 16-year-old Eng- lish Ontario students, who notched a 50.6 per cent result in con- tent, actually a one-per cent drop from 1997 but still good for fourth overall in Canada. Problem-solving for the group saw 46.5 per cent reach the standard, a 13.5 percentage points im- provement, and sixth best score in the country. The Ontario 16- year-olds scored just 11th out of 18 in both categories back in 1997. Some 41,460 students across Canada took the tests, includ- ing over 4,800 in Ontario. While the tests are not the last word in learning, they do offer a concrete snapshot of the curriculum, teaching and progress (or lack of it) by a large number of students at a certain point in time. With the new curriculum now firmly ingrained, results should be even better when the next group take the tests in 2005. Given the number of students who took the test, it’s clear our educators are on the right track with the critical teaching of math and problem-solving. We believe Ontario can improve on these good numbers as we continue to strive for education ex- cellence.

The school achievement indicators program (SAIP) assesses a random sample of 13- and 16-year-old students from every province and ter- ritory in Canada in math, reading and writing, and sci- ence. Begun by the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC), the tests in each subject area are stag- gered, taking place at four- year intervals. In 2001, roughly 41,460 Canadian students, including over 4,800 in Ontario, wrote the two-and-a-half-hour math assessment. The numbers show Ontario English-speak- ing students, especially the 13-year-olds, fared much bet- ter than on the 1997 math test. In content, one of the two test components, the 13- year-olds finished fourth in the country,compared to 15th on the last test. And, in prob- lem solving, pupils finished in sixth, compared to 12th in 1997. Education Minister Janet Ecker was quick to point to the Province’s new curricu- lum and student testing initia- tives as the reason for the im- provement. But, she said it’s no time to rest on our laurels. “There’s no reason, with the excellence of our students and teachers and our curricu- lum, there’s no reason we can’t set a standard for the country, eventually,” Ms. Ecker said in an interview. Quebec and Alberta stu- dents in recent years have generally fared best among Canadian pupils in national and international tests, and the SAIP assessment was no exception. Ms. Ecker, in a press release, said Ontario is on a road to education reform these provinces have trav- elled before — and it’s pay- ing off here. “Setting high expecta- tions, testing, good curriculum, good parental in- volvement and in- vestments in teacher training — all of these factors help to improve stu- dent learning,” she said in the interview. “That is where we have to go next.” However, Emily Noble, first vice-president of the Ele- mentary Teachers’Federation of Ontario, in a press release said because each province has its own curriculum, provincial SAIP test compar- isons are not valid. Ms. Ecker rejected the argument. “The important thing about this test is this isn’t a test on the curriculum, it’s a different measurement than (Education Quality and Ac- countability Office testing),” she said. “It’s measuring more the abilities of the stu- dent.” In the 1997 math test, 50 per cent of Ontario, English- speaking 13-year-olds met test result standards. That fig- ure jumped to 63.4 per cent last year. In the problem- solving component, the per- centage jumped from 45.4 per cent in 1997 to 68.7 per cent in 2001. The percentage of 16- year-olds who achieved the standards or better fell by about one per cent point from 1997 to 2001, to 50.6 per cent in the content portion. That was still good enough for fourth in the country com- pared to 11th five years ago.

NEWS ADVERTISER FRIDAY EDITION, April 12, 2002 PAGE 9 A/P A/P PAGE 10 NEWS ADVERTISER, FRIDAY EDITION, April 12, 2002 BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM — Beth Whalen is on the front lines of Canada’s latest battle in the war on drugs. But, unlike previous battles, this one is not being fought against the drug users or the drug dealers. It’s not being fought with police raids on drug labs and growing operations or by arresting those who import and export the illegal products either. In fact, this battle is being fought alongside the addicts and dealers in an attempt to reduce the societal ills caused by drugs and addiction. It’s a new fight known as harm reduction; an attempt at reducing the harm as- sociated with drugs and abuse. Ms. Whalen is a counsellor working with the John Howard So- ciety of Durham Region to run a needle exchange program aptly named ‘project xchange’. Through its offices in Oshawa, Ajax and Bowmanville, the program hands over clean “works” to addicts in exchange for used ones, to help prevent the spread of infectious dis- ease through the use of dirty nee- dles. Ms. Whalen is also available to meet users for an exchange at a safe location through her pager number, sometimes even after-hours. She has spent the last four years running the program full time, tak- ing over when project xchange was just one year old. “What really interested me was the disease prevention aspect,” she explained. “It’s not a program that only protects the drug user — it pro- tects everybody. Our mandate is to protect the community at large.” And, the way she sees it, the pro- gram is not about promoting drug use as much as it is about keeping the community safe. “The war on drugs is over, drugs won. Now we can look at how to re- duce the harm,” she said. “Drug users are not going to stop so we need to look at how we can protect the community at large. By supply- ing clean needles, alcohol swabs, condoms and information on sub- stance abuse programs we can do that.” She is on the streets meeting drug users every day to exchange clean needles for dirty ones and although she avoids giving lectures, she often passes on advice to those looking for a way out. “I’m not out there pushing drug rehab. That has to be a personal choice, they have to want the help,” she said. “I’m definitely not preachy the first time I meet someone, I just tell them to be safe. But, maybe by the third time I might start talking to them about the options available.” And, while the John Howard So- ciety offers addiction counselling through its offices, Ms. Whalen is often called upon for on-the-spot ad- vice. She recalled one addict she personally counselled who began a methadone program over one year ago. She said the woman still calls her during the tough times, just to go for a coffee and talk. “If it makes a difference to do coffee, I’m going to do coffee,” she said. While she admits counselling ad- dicts who often turn right back to drugs can be frustrating, she remem- bers her reason for being there — to reduce the harm. Last year, 1,530 men and 1,197 women exchanged needles with project xchange. Of the number, 1,271 were new to the pro- gram. The program gave out 32,285 needles and took in 31,395. Howev- er, Ms. Whalen said the numbers would be a lot greater if she was able to properly service more than just the Oshawa area. “More money for the program is absolutely critical,” she explained. “It’s hard to get out to places like Pickering and promote the program or to get the supplies to keep up with the extreme demand. I’m sure drug users filter in from Scarborough, but in Ajax and Pickering we’re not strongly promoting the program simply because I can’t be there. Right now I have maybe three clients in Ajax, two in Whitby, and two in Courtice — most are here in Oshawa. We don’t even service most of the northern communities, but that doesn’t mean there is no drug use up there. We’re seriously under funded and we need another full- time person.” The program is mandated by the Ontario Ministry of Health and, as such, receives funding from the Durham Region Health Department. Ms. Whalen said funding from outside agencies is hard to obtain as project xchange is still looked at with extreme skepticism and la- belled as one promoting drug use, a myth she works hard to dispel. “We’re trying to decrease the spread of communicable diseases and we are a conduit to treatment,” she said. “It’s not pro drug use.” Health Canada studies indicate in 1999, 34.1 per cent of the estimated 4,190 new HIV infections and more than 60 per cent of new hepatitis C infections were related to injection drug use. Last year, the federal gov- ernment began taking a serious look at programs like project xchange, other harm reduction initiatives and how Canada can better fight the war on drugs. On May 17, 2001 the House of Commons created the special committee on the non- medical use of drugs. The committee was given a broad mandate to study the factors underlying or relat- ing to drug use in Canada and to bring forward recommendations aimed at reducing the dimensions of the problems involved. The committee’s mandate in- cludes tabling a report in the House of Commons by November with a view to determining the ways in which substance abuse interferes with the health and security of users, their communities and society as a whole. Listening to expert witnesses, stakeholders and the public at large, the committee also plans to make recommendations on necessary changes in legislation and Canada’s drug strategy. Canada’s drug strate- gy’s stated goal is “to reduce the harm associated with alcohol and other drugs to individuals, families, and communities”. And, it states harm reduction is a “realistic, pragmatic, and humane approach” to substance abuse, “as opposed to attempting solely to re- duce the use of drugs”. By looking at harm reduction strategies the world over and talking to Canadian experts, the committee will examine the need to enhance needle exchange programs like pro- ject xchange and increase access to treatment options, including methadone maintenance for heroin addicts. Members will also look at the possibility of more advanced harm reduction strategies like clini- cal trials of prescription heroin and a pilot or research project involving a supervised injection site. They have invited submissions on the impacts associated with existing needle ex- change programs, whether there is a need for prescription heroin trials, and where the public support lies. One such submission came in February from the Canadian HIV Aids Legal Network. The network wrote a brief to the committee recommending the feder- al government adopt more harm re- duction policies instead of the crim- inalization of drugs. The brief cites several major re- ports released since 1997 that have concluded the legal status of drugs in Canada hinders efforts to prevent the spread of HIV among injection drug users, and efforts to provide care, treatment, and support to HIV- positive injection drug users. Recommendations include the continued use and expansion of nee- dle exchange programs, methadone programs, safe injection sites, and prescription heroin trials. Walter Cavalieri, a University of Toronto researcher active with sev- eral harm reduction groups, also ad- dressed the committee on behalf of the Canadian Harm Reduction Net- work. He told the committee the major contributor to the harms asso- ciated with drug use are the laws themselves. He also said needle ex- change programs have survived and proven themselves, but they have still not been adopted universally. He added fundamental and essential services with proven effectiveness — such as heroin prescriptions and safe injecting facilities — are still held in abeyance “while some peo- ple dither and some people die. Mr. Cavalieri also said the evi- dence is overwhelming that the war on drugs has not worked, is not working, probably never will work, and is “one of the longest and costli- est social experiments in the history of civilization. “We must immediately enable the legal framework which will per- mit the initiation of innovative harm reduction measures such as heroin prescription and safe injecting rooms,” he told the committee. “They are absolutely necessary, and they must become as ubiquitous as is the use of drugs.” Back on the front lines here in Durham, Mr. Cavalieri finds a staunch ally in Ms. Whalen. She also believes safe injection sites can be a positive step towards reducing the harms associated with drug use. “If it’s a place where they can get instruction on how to inject safely and leave their dirty syringes, it’s probably the safest step for every- body,” she said. Project xchange stresses by helping to ‘reduce the harm’of drug use, it keeps the entire community safe A new war on drugs MARTIN DERBYSHIRE/ News Advertiser photo Tonya Strickland, left, and Beth Whalen sort through supplies as part of ‘project xchange’.

Durham in line for break on share of social service costs BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —The Greater Toronto Area social service pool will likely save Durham $5 million in 2002 due to a de- crease in Durham’s assessment com- pared to its partners. Durham’s share of pooling costs for social assistance and housing through the GTA dropped from 7.07 per cent to 6.37 per cent, according to numbers re- leased by the Province April 8. But as council proceeds with its budget delib- erations next week, that’s good news that could change, the commissioner of finance cautions. “The problem with the formula is it’s at the (finance) minister’s discretion and Toronto’s percentage (of costs) is going up. That will be a problem for them and there may be an attempt at interven- tion,” said Jim Clapp. However, he said if the Province ad- heres to the formula, heavily based on assessment, the numbers should remain true. In 2001, the total pooling cost for so- cial assistance and housing in the GTA municipalities, which include the City of Toronto and York, Peel, Halton and Durham regions, was $865.7 million. While the total budget is expected to rise by $10 million, the change in weighted assessment could save Durham $5 million, Mr. Clapp told the finance and administration committee April 10. In 2001 Durham paid $60.7 million. Had it not been part of the pool, the cost for social service and housing related to this region would have been $60.2 mil- lion. In other words, explained Mr. Clapp, Durham put in more than it took out. But while the program cost the Region extra money last year, it is expected to benefit this year under the new formula.

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) confirmed ap- proval of the environmental assess- ment guidelines it set down in Sep- tember requiring the facility under- go a screening level review. It did make some modifications to some technical aspects of the draft assess- ment but they were more “clarifica- tion and elaboration” on what was already part of the scope, says Iter Canada director, Dr. Murray Stew- art. “Nothing has substantively changed from what we were going to do anyway,” says Dr. Stewart. The Iter Institute, an organization that would be responsible for oper- ating the $12-billion international energy research facility, if it is awarded to Canada, is responsible for conducting the testing and stud- ies required for the EA process. Those studies are then reviewed by the regulator. “They wanted us to ensure we in- cluded security of the site,” says Dr. Stewart. “The commission wanted that to be very explicit.” As well, the CNSC is asking that the EA deals “more explicitly” with the issue of Iter Institute ownership. “The actual licensing is for an inter- national organization so the com- mission wants to ensure it has a full understanding of what the structure of that organization will be,” says Dr. Stewart. The commission also specified more clearly the areas of Lake On- tario it wants studied for any cumu- lative effects from the research facil- ity and neighbouring industries in- cluding the Darlington Generating Station. The EA is one requirement of li- censing for the proposed facility Canada hopes to host in Clarington. The facility will use tritium, a by- product of the CANDU nuclear re- actors used in Ontario’s nuclear generating stations, for its experi- ments. The Iter Institute anticipates any emissions from the tritium will be about 1/10,000 of Canada’s regu- latory limits based on tests at an international research facility in Germany. Further testing is cur- rently being conducted based on factors related to the Clarington site. These tests, part of the require- ment for the EA, are expected to be made public by mid-year, according to Dr. Stewart. A public meeting of the commis- sion was held March 1 to review the EA process and whether the MOE should be involved in the process. “The commission is satisfied at this time that the project does not warrant a referral to the Minister of Environment for his referral to a mediator or a review panel,” the CNSC said in a news release. “What the commission has done has confirmed what (CNSC) staff had recommended,” in the initial scope of assessment, says Dr. Stew- art. The commission will hold a pub- lic hearing on the results of the envi- ronmental assessment screening re- port and the licence application for the facility at a later date. During that meeting, the commission will consider written submissions from the public. The CNSC regulates the use of nuclear energy and materials to protect health, safety, security and the environment and to ensure Canada’s international commit- ments to the “peaceful use” of nu- clear energy are upheld.

Canada Reads 2002 is a program developed by CBC Radio in which panelists dis- cuss five books. The debate focuses on the question — can a single book capture the imagination of an entire country? The titles are ‘The Hand- maid’s Tale’ by Margaret At- wood, ‘The Stone Angel’ by Margaret Laurence, ‘A Fine Balance’by Rohinton Mistry, ‘In the Skin of a Lion’ by Michael Ondaatje, and ‘Whylah Falls’by George El- liot Clarke. Panelists will discuss the titles, with a winner declared April 23, which is also Cana- da Book Day. The Ajax library wants to know what residents think of the recommendation or if an- other book captures your imagination. Votes can be cast by com- pleting a ballot, available at any of the three library branches, or by sending an e- mail to the library, via the E- Info Reference Service. The address is libraryin- fo@townofajax.com. Include your name and phone number, along with your favourite title and the author’s name. A bibliogra- phy of favourites will be drawn up and all submissions will be entered into a draw for a copy of the winning title. The draw is April 24.

Wang Lab On Premises Following are the new movies being re- leased this weekend at local cinemas in Ajax and Pickering: CHANGING LANES Starring Ben Affleck, Samuel L. Jackson. Directed by Roger Michell. A rush-hour fender-bender on New York City’s crowded FDR Drive, under most circumstances, wouldn’t set off a chain-reaction that could decimate two people’s lives. But on this day, at this time, a minor collision will turn two complete strangers into vicious adversaries. Their means of destroying one another might be different, but their goals, ultimately, will be the same. Each will systematically try to disman- tle the other’s life in a reckless effort to re- claim something he has lost. Late for court, high-powered attorney Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck) is weaving through heavy traffic. In a different lane, is Doyle Gipson (Samuel L. Jackson), a fa- ther whose right to see his children rests on the decision of a judge with a full dock- et and no time to spare. On the surface, Banek and Gipson are two very different men. But a minor accident will drive these two strangers to the brink of self-destruc- tion, and prove that rage can equalize any playing field when men turn into beasts. FRAILTY Starring Bill Paxton, Matthew McConaughey, Powers Boothe, Matthew O’Leary. Directed by Bill Paxton. Wesley Doyle (Powers Boothe), the FBI agent heading the search for Texas’s noto- rious ‘God’s Hand’ murderer is under- standably suspicious when a man walks into his office and announces he knows the identity of the elusive serial killer. Introducing himself as Fenton Meiks (Matthew McConaughey), he claims his brother, Adam, killed all those people and then killed himself. But Adam’s crimes are just one small part of a long and complex story Meiks wants to share. Past and present converge as the two strangers drive together to the rose garden where Adam is buried and Meiks begins his tale of faith and retribu- tion. THE SWEETEST THING Starring Cameron Diaz. Directed by Roger Kumble Sexy and bold Christina Walters (Cameron Diaz), after years of avoiding meaningful relationships with men, unex- pectedly meets her perfect match (Thomas Jane) one night while hanging out with best girlfriends Courtney (Christina Ap- plegate) and Jane (Selma Blair). When she finds out the next morning he’s suddenly left town, she and Courtney set out to find him on a wild road trip, en- countering a series of hilarious misadven- tures on their journey. Their search ultimately leads them to a surprising discovery and the realization that love is, after all, the sweetest thing. RED GREEN: DUCT TAPE FOREVER Starring Steve Smith. Directed by Eric Till. The Possum Lodge is being taken to court by businessman Robert Stiles (Richard Fitzpatrick) whose limousine is damaged after falling into a sinkhole in front of the lodge. The lodge members lose the case and must pay $10,000 in damages within 10 days - or their beloved Lodge will become property of the town. NEW BEST FRIEND Starring Dominique Swain, Taye Diggs, Mia Kirshner, Meredith Monroe. Directed by Zoe Clarke-Williams A deputy sheriff investigates the murder of a college student, which is connected to an unusual class project.

It means...One addicted to chocolate”. I just love the word chocolate. Doesn’t that make you feel good. “Chocolate” How about “Lottery Winner”. Kidding! The word chocolate just makes me feel better. Oh yes, there are those who don’t like chocolate. Are they really normal though? Have they ever smiled? Do they know what we know? Do they know the joys of that first surge of chocolate flavour as you taste it? That kick start you get. Like a new beginning. mmmmmm. The ecstasy it produces? The satisfying after taste as it flows over your taste buds and it clings to your teeth and the roof of your mouth. Oh boy! How about the licking of your lips to get the last remnant so you don’t miss a drop. The incredible anticipation as you prepare for the last mouthful? How could anyone really not like chocolate? How can anyone resist it? This week we introduced out new CHOCOLATE XTREME blizzard. It’s extremely full of extremely good chocolate products. What are they Charles? I’m so glad you asked! I got Lisa, our day manager to prepare me one. Just a small note about Lisa. She is our day manager and is well known to our lunch customers who have been served by her for almost seven years. Something interesting happened the other day as I went over to thank one of our regular customers who loves our banana splits. I said, “Rod, I really appreciate your business.” Thinking he was going to thank me, he said. “Charles, I love your store and I love your food but most of all, I love being served by Lisa.” Wow! Lisa has been here from day one. While working for us, Lisa has earned her BA at U of T. Last February, she got married and will be leaving us in the fall to go to school full time in pursuit of her master’s degree. That’s the bad news. The good news is that she is considering working for us part time as an instructor/trainer. We hope so. How about the New CHOCOLATE XTREME? Lisa began by spiraling the cold, creamy, patented DQ soft serve into the Blizzard cup. Then she loaded in three of our most popular chocolate ingredients. First, a generous portion of chocolate brownie pieces. Then she pumped in our delicious cocoa fudge. The same fudge we use for our Frozen Hot Chocolate. Finally, a spoonful of our pure milk chocolate chunks blended together they’ll give a taste of chocolate you’ll never forget. If you are a chocolate lover like me, then you’ll love this welcome addition to the Blizzard family of fine products!

Ajax power-punk band hopes to come home with awards BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor AJAX —The Juno Awards weren’t kind to Ajax’s Sum 41 in 2001, so winning one of the odd- shaped statuettes just might be a welcome shock at this year’s event honouring the best and brightest on the Canadian music scene. At the 2001 Junos, Sum 41 was nominated for the ‘best new group’ award. Un- fortunately, the category, the band’s drummer Steve Jocz recalls wistfully, wasn’t part of the televised portion of the evening. So, while hanging out at a bar in another part of the event’s venue, the nomi- nations and winner were an- nounced prior to going on the air, unbeknownst to the band members. To add insult to injury, the award went to the band Nickleback. “Last year, we were nom- inated, but we lost. Maybe we’ll win this time. We’re getting used to losing, though, but it has been fun,” says Jocz at his Ajax home recently, prior to heading on the road for a concert tour. Sum 41 — the power-punk quartet that also includes bassist Jason ‘Cone’Mc- Caslin, singer/guitarist Deryck Whibley and guitarist Dave Baksh — is nominated in three categories at the 2002 Juno Awards at Mile One Stadium in St. John’s, New- foundland this Sunday, April 14. The band’s up for ‘best album’ and ‘best rock album’ for its multi-platinum ‘All Killer No Filler’. Sum 41 is also tabbed for ‘best group’. The awards show comes in the middle of Sum 41’s concert tour, but the group’s nonetheless prepared to in- terrupt the tour to not only at- tend, but also to perform dur- ing the star-studded evening. “It should be fun,” says Jocz, 20. “We have friends in some of the bands that will be there, so it will be fun hanging out with them.” Joining Sum 41 on the Juno’s slate of performers are Alanis Morissette, Nelly Furtado, Diana Krall, Aman- da Marshall, Nickleback and Toronto’s Barenaked Ladies, who’ll also host the show. Judging from Sum 41’s whirlwind existence since the release of the band’s breakthrough disc ‘All Killer No Filler’ (Island/Def Jam label in the U.S.; Aquar- ius/DKD in Canada) last May, a Juno Award triumph would fall in line with the band’s stratospheric rise in Canada and the U.S. Since the album’s release, Sum 41 has been touring, al- most on a non-stop basis, across the U.S. and Canada and parts of Europe and Asia. The current tour will bring the band to Mississauga’s Hershey Centre April 18. The album spawned three videos that enjoyed heavy ro- tation, not only on Canada’s MuchMusic, but on MTV in the U.S. as well. The first video for the song ‘Fat Lip/Pain for Plea- sure’shot up the video charts in both Canada and the U.S., garnering attention as it beat out other videos by such artists as The Backstreet Boys and Jennifer Lopez on MTV’s popular ‘Total Re- quest Live’. Subsequent videos ‘In Too Deep’, a campy spoof on Rodney Dangerfield’s ‘Back to School’, and ‘Motivation’, the band’s current video, have also enjoyed regular airplay on both sides of the bor- der. The com- mon denomina- tor in all of the band’s video work is fun — and lots of it. And, they’re proud to have their fans along for the ride, too, as they turned out in droves to be part of the ‘Fat Lip/Pain for Pleasure’ and ‘In Too Deep’ videos. “We try to have fun; there’s no reason not to have fun,” says Jocz. “We like to have a good time. Our music is energetic, so why not?” And, having real fans in the videos, says Jocz, is preferable to paid actors. “We’ve watched videos where they’ve had attractive extras in them and it always bothered us; it looked so fake. We don’t use a casting agency, we just go on the radio and say ‘hey, we’re making a video, come on out’.” The single ‘Fat Lip’ off ‘All Killer No Filler’ was also included on the sound- track of the top-grossing movie sequel ‘American Pie 2’ last summer. This spring, Sum 41 is back on another film’s soundtrack, this time with a song called ‘What We’re All About’ on the soundtrack of ‘Spider-man’ that’s set to arrive on movie screens and music store shelves early next month. Jocz says ‘What We’re All About’was previously on the band’s EP ‘Half Hour of Power’, but it has been re- vamped and lengthened, in- cluding a new chorus and verse. The release of a video will coincide with the movie’s release. In addition to touring, Sum 41 is also hard at work on its follow-up album to ‘All Killer, No Filler’. Jocz says three tracks are already completed. He also notes the group has a “bunch of ideas” that they plan to flush out when they enter Metal Works Stu- dio in Toronto in late May. He wouldn’t divulge the title of the new disc, saying only “we’ve got a couple of titles kicking around, but we’re not sure yet.” One thing is for sure — the new album will have a different sound than ‘All Killer No Filler’, and that suits Jocz just fine. “I would like it to be a lit- tle harder edged,” he says. “I’m getting sick of all the poppy music, so we’re going to go a little harder.” And, if touring and recording wasn’t enough, Sum 41 will release a new DVD, ‘Introduction to De- struction’, featuring concert footage from London, Eng- land, shot last September, and lots of other stuff, too, including backstage tomfool- ery and, as well, the infa- mous water-gun fight on the streets of Ajax that sold the band to record company execs. “Anything we’ve ever done is on there,” says Jocz.

Concert band welcomes spring season Boys’ choirs singing New York, New York DURHAM — The Boys’ Choir of Durham and the Upper Canada Boys’ Choir of Northum- berland County have joined forces to spread goodwill and harmony in New York. The choirs, made up of boys from Grades 3 to 7, will travel May 16 to 21 for a five-day ‘Goodwill Tour’. The tour includes performances in Niagara Falls, Upstate New York and New York City. On Sunday, May 19 the choirs will perform with the New Amsterdam Boys Choir (NABC) in New York City. Erwin Stroobach, direc- tor of both choirs, said choir exchanges, especial- ly with groups from other countries and ethnic back- grounds, build bridges for the future. “Although the events of Sept. 11 put the planned trip in jeopardy, especially since the NABC’s home base is only three miles from ‘ground zero’, it be- came evident that our plans needed to continue,” said Mr. Stroobach. He added encouraging interaction among youth from all walks of life is vital if we hope to have peace in the future. In addition, the Boys Choir of Durham holds its spring concert April 28.

A.J. GROEN/ News Advertiser photo Swinging for scholarships BY BRIAN LEGREE Staff Editor DURHAM -Golf is not an easy game. Just don’t tell that to any one of those teenagers you see out at your local course, booming 280-yard drives down the middle of fairway, smoothing lofted irons to within a few feet of the stick and then casually stroking home the birdie putt. While the rest of us boomerang our shots around the park, these smooth-swinging teens are making the game look like a walk in the park. You have to respect them. You are allowed to HATE them, but you have to respect them. John Uprichard respects them and helps them. He doesn’t HATE them. Uprichard, the man be- hind the PING Tour, which has served junior golfers in Durham, Northumberland, Victoria and Peterborough for the past 10 years, has had a large hand in the de- velopment of these teen phenoms. He gives them a com- petitive outlet, a place to See SEEKING page 23 Large number of juniors shooting low numbers Email it News Advertiser shouston@durhamregion.com O P E N T H U R S D A Y A P R I L ? 2 0 0 2 Soft Spikes - Dress Code 2429 Golf Course Rd.

It ain’t the Masters, but these kids are playing good golf courses and they’re counting every shot (of course, it isn’t difficult when you take as few shots as these guys do). Junior golf is thriving, not only in Durham, but throughout Ontario and Canada. There are 13 junior tours in On- tario alone, says Uprichard, not in- cluding such nationally-based organi- zations such as the Canadian Junior Golf Association. Ironically, while these tours are dotted throughout Ontario, you won’t find one in Toronto. Just how popular is junior golf these days? Uprichard has 60 spots available on his PING Tour, 15 reserved for the top age-eligible returnees from the previous year. He gets about 120 golfers at a qualifying tournament looking to earn one of the 45 spots on his tour. Some of the applicants are as young as 12. “We’ve got some kids who are just 12, 13 or 14 who are good shooters already,” says Uprichard, matter-of- factly. Demand is far outstripping supply. The result is cream rising to the top, with the best players making it on these tours, continuing to improve in head-to-head competition. It’s also helping produce an in- creasingly greater number of players competing - on scholarship - in the U.S. collegiate ranks. “I find a big difference (in the tal- ent level) from when I first got in- volved and with the kids playing today,” says Uprichard. “It’s just un- believable how some of the kids can play.” A decade ago, Uprichard figures there were a handful of Canadians on golf scholarships at U.S. colleges. This year, that number is around 280, at Division I schools alone. “And we’re still on the way up, we’re still going strong,” says Up- richard, citing Ajax’s Axle Riley’s re- cent decision to sign on at Detroit- Mercy. Riley, a Grade 12 student at Pick- ering High School, says he wanted to attend a southern U.S. university in order to play golf year round, he in- stead chose the Michigan university as it offered the best golf program under coach Mark Engel. The school also offered the most scholarship money, and a high-calibre business program, not to mention its close proximity to his Ajax home. One of the next young guns likely to get a scholarship is Oshawa’s Dustin Wetherup. The 17-year-old Grade 12 student at McLaughlin Col- legiate is currently going through the eye-opening process involved with getting a golf education south of the border. Unlike minor hockey or baseball, where the scouts generally find you, young players aiming for a golf scholarship have to make a sale’s pitch to schools. Wetherup and his father Paul learned about the process by attend- ing a Golf Association of Ontario seminar on the issue held at Wooden Sticks in Uxbridge. “Under NCAA rules, coaches can’t contact athletes until July 1st of their senior (graduating) year,” says the elder Wetherup. “But it’s OK for the athlete to initiate contact.” So Dustin sent out about 50 letters to schools in the U.S. The Wetherups figure about 50 per cent of those schools have responded, some with form letters, others with personalized notes. “In a way it is unnerving,” says Dustin of chasing his scholarship dream. “I’m not really sure what to expect and sometimes I don’t think I’m good enough to play at some of the schools.” Chasing a scholarship is “very ex- citing,” Dustin says. “Every time I get a letter I wonder what a coach will say. Some are personalized, some say they’ll come see me play.” Hoping to follow in the spike marks of other Durham golf scholar- ship grads like Kevin Jones, Jon Mills, Eddie Maunder, Derek Gille- spie and Angela Buzminski, Wetherup is pinning his hopes on a strong 2002 season. “I always worry about the golf part. I know I have to have a good year to go to one of the schools,” he says. Smart kid. He knows that his best sales pitch will ultimately come from his scorecard. Having watched - and helped - several players earn scholarships, Up- richard feels the floodgates have only just begun to swing open.

There really is no other way to describe how golfers feel about certain golf courses, in general, and specific holes, in par- ticular. Everyone’s got an opin- ion on what makes a hole great. Some people like spec- tacular scenery, or incred- ible course conditioning. Others want a hole that presents options, one where you can fly a ball in, or bump and run the ap- proach shot. We asked you, the readers, to suggest your favourites and you re- sponded – in droves. What follows is a com- pilation of the 18 best holes in Durham Region, as recommended by you. FRONT NINE 1) Newcastle G.C., 11th hole, par 5, (Ladies, 439 yards; men’s, 549 yards). I still remember hearing about this monster before I played Newcastle for the first time. Elevated tee, forest-lined fairway, bisect- ed by a creek before heading straight uphill to a green seemingly built on a 45 degree slope. I also re- member hitting a good drive, decent lay up shot before knocking it onto the green – but above the flag. I also remember calmly stroking four putts before walking off with a double bogey. Enjoy! 2) Royal Ashburn G.C., 15th hole, par 4 (Ladies, 394 yards; men’s, 449 yards) The game plan sounds sim- ple. Merely hit a 275 yard drive straight, then nail your 175-yard approach shot as straight as an arrow. Left puts you in the bunker, right gets you in the pond, long is dead. Not only is par a good score here, bogey looks good as well. 3) Kedron Dells G.C., 14th hole, par 3, (Ladies, 180 yards; men’s 230 yards) Incredibly difficult? Yes. Un- fair? Maybe. From an elevated tee, you must carry a tree into a green surrounded by trees, with out of bounds on the left, just good good measure. Par’s a great score here, even when you’re playing a scramble. 4) Four Seasons G.C., 1st hole, par 4 (Ladies, 300 yards; men’s, 340 yards) If you love scenery, you’ll love this hole. If you love water, you’ll also love this hole. If you love par, well that’s another story. From a cliff, you shoot down about 60 feet to the fairway, try- ing not to find water with your first shot of the day in one of the ponds bordering the short grass. If you’re high and dry, the approach in is no bargain either. 5) Oakridge G.C., 3rd hole, par 4, (Ladies, 355 yards; men’s 406 yards) A big gaping bunker awaits your tee ball on the left side, while an extremely good drive could get you dangerously close to the pond that guards the right side of the fairway and the green. A strong tee shot leaves 140-yards in to a green with lit- tle depth and plenty of undula- tion. 6) Lakeridge Links G.C., 14th hole, par 4 (Ladies, 370 yards; men’s 407 yards) A great tee shot only gets you started on this hole. Simply hit a controlled draw and hope you end up with a fairly flat lie in which to hit your approach shot from 150-190 yards, carry the both the creek and the huge bunker in order to have a birdie putt. That’s the positive spin. The negative spin? Don’t hook your tee shot into the forest and if you’re a slicer of the ball, try hitting three seven irons and hope you jar the putt. 7) Deer Creek (Diamond Course) G.C., 9th hole, par 5 (Ladies, 431 yards; men’s 531 yards) Water down the right hand side, bush on the left, with the difficulty compounded by the narrowness of a fairway. Knock- ing it on in two is almost impos- sible, since the green is protect- ed by a pond on the right. This one requires three excellent shots just to have a birdie putt. Spray it a bit and triple bogey is guaranteed. 8) Bowmanville G.C., 3rd hole, par 3 (188 yards) You have to carry a pond to hit a postage-stamp sized green. Don’t hit it short, or you’re wet, long is bush, there’s a bunker right. 9) Oakridge G.C., 6th hole, par 4 (Ladies, 338 yards; men’s, 384 yards) Water to the left, water to the right. Lay up and you’re faced with a long uphill approach shot with a bunker guarding the green. Try to split the ponds and you’re flirting with a big number. BACK NINE 10) Mill Run G.C., 10th hole, par 5 (Ladies, 417 yards; men’s 567 yards) You came up with some great suggestions for the toughest holes in the region Brian Legree Staff Editor blegree@durhamregion.com See YOU page 25 GOLF COURSES The Lakeridge Links and Whispering Ridge Golf Courses provide all that any golfer could ask for at one location in Durham Region.

The signature hole at the Uxbridge course tests all your swing abilities. A well- positioned drive, left of cen- tre if possible, might give long hitters a chance to go for the green in two. More likely a layup in front of the green will be necessary , avoiding the creek which protects the green. 11) Lyndebrook G.C., 3rd hole, par 3 (Ladies, 150 yards; men’s, 181 yards) A picturesque hole, but don’t let the scenery let you lose your focus. You’ll need it to carry the water, into the deep green, which challenges your club selection. 12) Kedron Dells G.C., 17th hole, par 5 (Ladies, 373 yards; men’s 536 yards) A real shotmaker’s hole, where positioning is key. With a fairway that slopes right to left, a booming tee ball is required to have ANY chance of considering going for the green in two. If you’re a normal human being you’ll be looking at laying up in front of the creek and then picking the right club to hit it to the elevated green. 13) Deer Creek G.C. (Ruby course), 7th hole, par 4 (Ladies, 328 yards; men’s, 455 yards) An absolute monster. Hitting out of a narrow chute, a lengthy drive is imperative in order to have a mid-iron into a green featuring a large pond in front. 14) Mill Run G.C., 8th hole, par 3, (Ladies, 129 yards; men’s, 203 yards) Sometimes the best de- signed holes are the most simple. A gaping bunker pro- tects this green and gobbles up a lot of balls. When the wind is blowing, which seems to be most of the time, club selection is diffi- cult. 15) Royal Ashburn G.C., 12th hole, par 4 (Ladies, 351 yards; men’s, 407 yards) The green was reconfigured a couple of seasons ago, making a difficult hole even tougher. The fun begins on the tee box, where a right to left tee shot is required. The redesigned green is large with plenty of run off areas. An approach shot right of the green produces an almost impossible up-and-down. 16) Lakeridge Links G.C., 15th hole, par 4 (Ladies, 254 yards; men’s, 407 yards) Stand on the tee and it seems all you see is trouble. A creek bisects the fairway, forcing a carry of over 200 yards. The creek then mean- ders down the right side of the fairway, alongside the green. The left side of the green is protected by a cou- ple of bunkers. 17) Sunnybrae G.C., 6th hole, par 3 (Ladies, 129 yards; men’s, 150 yards). It’s billed as the ultimate du- plicate hole of Augusta’s fa- mous 12th hole. While that’s certainly stretching the truth, it’s still a nifty par-3 and proof that three pars don’t have to be in the 200-yard range. This hole forces you to carry a pond and find the right area of the severely un- dulating green. 18) Deer Creek G.C. 8th hole (Ruby Course), par 5 (Ladies, 434 yards; men’s, 511 yards). Three separate ponds pro- tect the left side, including one that curls around the green. Only the brave would risk a lengthy shot over water. The ultimate risk-re- ward type of par-five hole. YOU from page 24 UXBRIDGE - The Ontario Golf Hall of Fame has announced that Jerry Ander- son, Edward Ervasti and Irving Lightstone will be its 2002 Inductees. Irving Lightstone, 69 is one of Cana- da's most successful golf professionals, having apprenticed more than 25 current professionals across North America. The Thornhill, Ont. resident recently retired after 45 years as the Director of Golf at the Maple Downs Golf & Country Club in Richmond Hill. Mr. Lightstone's tenure also includes a Head Pro stint at the Doral Resort in Miami and DeSoto Lakes Golf Club in Sarasota. After winning both the 1959 Ontario and Canadian Assistants Championships, Mr. Lightstone replaced the retiring George Clifton as Head Pro at Maple Downs. Mr. Lightstone served the CPGA of Ontario as its President in 1979-80. In 1979, he was named Ontario Golf Profes- sional of the Year; in 1980, he garnered similar honours at the National level. Ed Ervasti often hears, "Did you shoot your age today, Ed?" To which he routine- ly replies, "I wasn't that bad." The 88 year- old has shot his age at least 200 times a year every year since he was 77. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and raised in suburban Detroit, Mr. Ervasti relocated to London, Ont. in 1965. "This is a very impressive honour, there are so many great golfers in On- tario," said Ervasti. He won the 1949 Michigan State Am- ateur Championship and was Runner-Up in 1950 and 1956; the former U.S. Air Force Pilot was also a Runner-Up in both the Utah and Missouri State Amateurs. Mr. Ervasti owns three Ontario Senior Amateur titles (1971, 1985, 1987) and one Canadian Senior Amateur victory (1976). Jerry Anderson, 46. is one of Canada's most celebrated International competitors. The native of Montreal and resident of Cambridge, Ontario has participated in numerous Tours including the PGA, Canadian and European. He has repre- sented Canada at the World Cup in 1983 and 1987 and the Dunhill Cup in 1985. In 1979, Mr. Anderson captured the Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan Open Championships. In 1980, he suc- cessfully defended his Saskatchewan Open victory and later went on to add Quebec Open victories in 1982 and 1983. In 1987,he won the CPGA Championship after a runnerup performance in 1985. "This is quite an honour, what can I say, I'm stunned," said Anderson. “This will certainly provide a lasting memory for my children.” Mr. Anderson was first on the Canadian Tour's Order of Merit Standings in 1980, 1982 and 1989. In 1984, he added the prestigious European Masters Swiss Open title. Anderson, Lightstone and Ervasti will be officially inducted into the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame on Wednesday, May 8. Operated by the Golf Association of Ontario, the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame is located in Uxbridge, Ontario on the grounds of Wooden Sticks Golf Club. For more information, please visit www.gao.ca.

It also didn’t take him long to learn a significant lesson about the thin line between average and awesome in pro golf. Mills, who was born in Oshawa and whose family now calls Brooklin home, finished in a tie for ninth at the Canadian Tour’s Texas Challenge in Austin in March. In just his second tournament of the season, the Kent State product earned $3,750 after shooting rounds of 74-69-65-72 for an eight-under-par 280 total. While pleased with his perfor- mance, it could have been much bet- ter for Mills, who was four-under-par in his final round as he stood on the 15th tee. “I just hit a bad tee shot on 15 and struggled from there - my mindset changed,” said Mills. “I went from trying to make birdies to grinding to try and make pars. It’s just a bad mindset I got into. I wasn’t defensive all day and then I started to be after that bad tee shot.” Still, it was a strong result for Mills, who missed the cut in his first stop of the season. And he built on that performance during the Scotts- dale Swing at McCormick Ranch in Arizona earlier this month, finishing in a tie for 14th place after carding rounds of 70-72-68-69, for a nine- under-par total of 279, good for $2,550 in earnings. While the squandered shots at the Texas Challenge cost him some money, Mills says when he’s playing the final few holes of a tournament, he tries not to think about the finan- cial implications of each shot. “I try not to think about the money, it’s tough to do that and play well,” said Mills. “I try to keep the mindset that it’s just a tournament. As a first- year pro, you think it’s a lot of money, but it’s not really.” Of course that depends on exactly where you’re playing. The purses on the Canadian Tour are generally in the $100,000 to $150,000 range, small change com- pared to the PGA Tour, where prize money runs between $3 million and $6 million. Purses on the buy.com Tour are generally in the $500,000 range. If you’re looking for Mills on the leaderboards this season, concentrate on buy.com Tour events. The 24-year-old, who finished sixth in the NCAA championships in 2001, advanced to the final stage of the PGA Tour’s qualifying school, earning a conditional buy.com Tour card in the process. He expects to become a regular on the buy.com Tour in mid-April, be- ginning with the Arkansas Classic. “You’re dealing with a lot more money and overall better players,” says Mills, of his decision to concen- trate on the U.S.-based tour as op- posed to playing on the Canadian Tour. “The Canadian Tour has great players, but the buy.com Tour has more depth.” Mills’s decision also means Cana- dian golf fans won’t have much of an opportunity to see him this season. His only confirmed Canadian stop this year is a True Gravity event in Niagara Falls, a small invitational tourney featuring 12 top Canadian golfers. Depending on his performance this season, Mills may try to qualify or seek an exemption into the Canadian Open Sept. 5-8 at Angus Glen G.C. in Markham.

As the Canadian Tour’s rook- ie of the year in 2001, big things are expected from Gillespie this season. His response to those ques- tioning those disappointing early- season results? “I just said I’m not playing that bad,” says Gillespie. Turns out he knew exactly what he was talking about. The Oshawa native turned in a spectacular second place show- ing at the Scottsdale Swing at Eagle Ranch in Arizona over the weekend, firing rounds of 65-66- 68-64 to finish at 17-under-par 263, two shots back of Jimmy Walker. Why the sudden turnaround, especially after carding rounds of 80-74 to close out the previous weekend? “I’m back in Arizona (where he attended university) in a big condo PING has set me up in,” he says. But it wasn’t exactly like home cooking. Although he spent four years at the University of Arizona, he had never played at Eagle Ranch before. “I wasn’t believing in myself and then my agent called and just said ‘you’re a better player than that’.” All of a sudden,the putts start- ed rolling in as Gillespie carded 23 birdies and an eagle in 72 holes - offset by eight bogeys - to turn in his best result as a pro (he tied for second at the Myrtle Beach Open last year). He also tested his mettle under competitive pressure - and liked how he performed, shooting a sparking 31 on the back-nine Sunday. “I like being in that position, I don’t guide it around the yard or steer it, I kept aggressive,” says Gillespie, referring to his strong birdie-par-birdie-birdie finish. More importantly for Gille- spie, he vaulted all the way to seventh place on the Canadian Tour’s Order of Merit with $14,700 in earnings, only about $3,000 behind his earnings for all of last year. The top two money earners on the Canadian Tour this season gain automatic entry into the PGA Tour’s second stage of qual- ifying school, something Gille- spie is eyeballing. Gillespie’s plays in Mexico next week, heads off to South Carolina for two events and Vir- ginia for one before returning to Oshawa for a two-week hiatus. Incidentally, Gillespie’s phone was still ringing Monday. But no one was asking what was wrong his with his game. Gillespie finally answers the call Durham is host to several char- ity golf tournaments.

Perhaps the garden vision is one of a lush dark green lawn framed by bor- ders of low-maintenance evergreens or a majestic shade tree that provides a place to hang an old-fash- ioned swing. Gardening also has a therapeutic nature where the companions of blue skies, green grass and brown soil calm and soothe while pro- viding a respite from a hectic, stressful world. The simple task of setting plants in the garden, of watching them grow and flourish provides a sense of accomplishment, a unity with nature. Roll up your sleeves, put on the gardening gloves and enjoy the birds chirping, the Spring has arrived. It’s now the ideal time for routine maintenance on your garage door. GARAGA INC. offers you some practical and easy tips to help your door main- tain its shine. The Door: To clean your door, use a gentle soap (e.g. dishwashing soap) with a car brush and thoroughly rinse with a gar- den hose. For those tough stains, use an all purpose detergent for vinyl (e.g. Hertel). Do not use abrasive cleaners or other strong liq- uids. To stop the bad effects of acid rain and the ultraviolet rays of the sun, once a year, apply a liquid car wax to pro- tect its lustre and give back its brightness. It is better to apply the wax during a non-sunny period. The Weatherstripping: If the weatherstripping is made of rubber (quality P.V.C.) we suggest cleaning it with an all-purpose detergent for vinyl, the same as you use for your garden furniture (e.g. Hertel) and then thoroughly rinse. Lubricate the weather- stripping every two months (more often depending on usage) with a silicone based product. Do not use lubricant with a petroleum base: the petroleum attacks rubber, which must remain flexible. The tracks, rollers and springs: Lubricate rollers and hinges with some motor oil. Do not use any lubricant with Visions Of The Garden Continued on page 31 Janice J. Donelle Horticulturist ADVERTISING FEATURE By Janice J.

To prolong your springs’ use- ful life, apply motor oil and wipe off the excess oil with a cloth. The Electric Operator Once every month, do the maintenance on your elec- tric operator. Work the door manually. It must be well bal- anced. If the door is not bal- anced, contact a qualified garage door installer. Check if your door opens and close completely. If necessary, adjust limits and/or force. Most garage door openers come with two knobs for these adjustments. Consult your owner’s manual. Check the safety reversing sensor. The door must reverse on contact if an object or a person is under it. Also, check if your photo sensors are cor- rectly plugged in and aligned. The door should reverse if any object passes through the beam. The opener does not require additional lubrication. Do not permit children to play with the opener. Keep the remote control in an inaccessible loca- tion. Finally... Consider your garage door as an important part of your home. Perform the sug- gested maintenance and it will provide you with carefree convenience for many years to come. We recommend you have the door inspected by a qualified installer at least once a year. For your own safety, never attempt to adjust the springs, the bottom brackets, or the hoisting cables yourself because of, among other things, the inherent risk asso- ciated with the great deal of tension in springs. Remember to call a Garage-certified installer to handle the work for you. Continued on page 32 Call Garaga From page 30 PICOV FURNITURE C.C.

Whether getting away for a rejuvenat- ing ‘mini-break’, taking an adventure trip, or relaxing on the beach in a warm, sunny climate, 81 per cent of Canadians consider vacations or pleasure trips an important part of their overall quality of life. As Canadians become more and more Internet-savvy, many will rely on it for re- searching and booking their next vacation. An important part of the travel mix, the Internet provides easy access to informa- tion previously only available to travel agents. Thanks to the development of cus- tomized online travel tools, it is easier than ever to make that dream vacation a reality. Best of all, the efficiencies of the Internet can often mean a lower cost to the trav- eller. The survey found 87 per cent of those polled will likely use the Internet to re- search vacations in the future and more than half will use it to book and purchase future vacations. Following are some tips to get you start- ed using the Internet to plan and book your next vacation: • Privacy please — Make sure your in- formation stays private. Look for third- party security listed on the site, such as TrustE, Better Business Bureau Online and PricewaterhouseCoopers, which verify the site’s privacy policy is sound; • Look for the lock — To ensure credit card data is being passed securely, look for a small lock or other indication in the browser window that shows your card number is being passed with the highest degree of security; • Know the company — As simple as it sounds, ensure you know the name of the company. It is always better to book with brands you know. Ensure the company has an established presence, and has local staff and support; • Stay flexible — Package vacations have long been a popular choice for Cana- dians. There are now options available al- lowing Canadians to custom-make their own dream vacation. Travellers choose the airline, hotel accommodation and airport transfers, altering each item at the click of a mouse; • Best-laid plans — Plan ahead and get detailed maps of your destination. This will save you time trying to plan excur- sions once you’ve arrived and reduce the chances of getting lost. Many online sites offer maps of cities in North America and Europe; • Bargain hunters — Many hotel com- panies offer special rates at different times of the year, and provide personalized e- mails detailing upcoming promotions; and • Plan ahead — Know the best time of year to go, what to bring, how to get around, and what not to miss. The Internet offers many travel tips to major cities worldwide, as well as local vacation desti- nations, including maps, photos and weather conditions. The world is your oys- ter online, just click and your questions will be answered.

The denim overall is made of 100% cotton, with corduroy patches on the knees and front pocket of the chest bib. The word "Cherokee ®" is printed on the inside label.

Local skaters on golden cloud Felicien keeps on winning Pickering athlete tops meet, qualifies for national collegiate finals PICKERING —To say Perdita Fe- licien’s 2002 collegiate outdoor track and field season is off to a fast start would be an understatement. The city resident ran to first place for the University of Illinois Fighting Illini women’s track and field team in the women’s 100-metre hurdles at the 75th annual Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin, Texas last weekend. In the process, the Canadian Olympian and Illinois junior ran to a blistering 12.90 seconds in the final — the fastest time in the world so far in 2002. It also set a new standard for the Texas Relays and automatically quali- fied Felicien for the NCAA National Outdoor Track and Field Champi- onships. The Texas Relays represented Feli- cien’s first major event of the Big Ten Conference outdoor season. She’s slated to compete in four other meets, includ- ing the prestigious Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, before heading to the Big Ten championships in Madison, Wis- consin May 17 to 19. The NCAA championships are slated for Baton Rouge, Louisiana May 29 and 30. Soon after her Texas Relays feat, Fe- licien was named the Big Ten Confer- ence’s track and field female athlete of the week for the third time this year. The other two honours came during the in- door season. PERDITA FELICIEN Sets fastest time in the world this year at Texas Relays meet. SARAH ARMSTRONG/ News Advertiser photo Breanne Allen, left, and Anna Kwadrans passed their respective gold tests with the Skate Canada Pickering Skating Club at the Pickering Recreation Complex re- cently.
