One pushed a friend to safety as a car bore down on them on a busy street; another confronted a killer. One helped free a man trapped in a farm accident; anoth- er saved a fellow motorist in med- ical distress. For their selfless efforts, nine citizens have been honoured by the Durham Regional Police Ser- vice in a ceremony held Wednes- day at Regional headquarters. Young and old, men and women, all heroes.

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer Extracurricular activities should remain voluntary for teachers, but unions should recognize the harm withdrawing activities does to stu- dents and not pressure educators who choose to take part, says an ad- visory panel created by Education Minister Janet Ecker. Those are three of the 16 recom- mendations contained in the Report of the Minister’s Advisory Group on Co-instructional Activities, released Thursday by the Province. “Each offers a partial solution to the co-instructional issue in Ontario, but none provides an answer on its own,” states the report from the five- member panel. “Together, however, these options present a workable and sustainable solution that would serve students well... and address key concerns about respect, time, resources and community involve- ment.” Education Minister Janet Ecker set up the group in January. Chaired by Doug Brown, a former district JANET ECKER ‘A lot of value in what’s here.’ Railway crossing the one and only Regional project slated for Pickering, but more work requested PICKERING —The City is calling on Durham Region to move forward with improvements to Regional roads in Pickering. Members of the executive com- mittee voted Monday to ask the Region to consider eight projects in the 2001 budget and multi-year capital forecast despite concerns from some councillors that the re- quest may be redundant. Durham’s works committee has already approved a list of capital projects for the current year and only one of the eight Pickering projects is included on that list, the committee heard. But, the request gives the Re- gion a “chance to take a look at what the City’s priorities are”, said Richard Holborn, division head of municipal property and engineer- ing. The City’s top priority is the widening of Brock Road from Dellbrook Avenue north and from Hwy. 401 to Kingston Road in preparation for the opening of Hwy. 407. However, that project has been dropped from the Re- gion’s five-year forecast. Other priorities identified by the City were the completion of the environmental assessment (EA) for the construction of a Brougham bypass, the completion of an EA regarding improvements to Finch Avenue, the completion of an EA regarding the widening of Altona Road from Kingston Road to Twyn Rivers Drive, implement- ing the recommendations from the Kingston Road Corridor Study, widening Whites Road from Okla- homa Boulevard to Hwy. 401, in- tersection improvements at Okla- homa Boulevard and Granite Court and the installation of auto- matic signals and warning gates at the CP Rail level crossing on Al- tona Road north of Finch Avenue. “We all would like to see all eight of these (listed as the number one priority),” said Ward 1 local TOM QUINN Durham only providing funding for one project.

Tom Quinn, the city’s chief admin- istrative officer, reported that’s the one item the Region has included funding for in its 2001 budget. And, Mr. Holborn reported the warning gates have been installed but aren’t functional yet, which is why that item is still on the City’s list of priori- ties. Meanwhile, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said one of the main reasons the Region has fallen behind on roads projects is because of the decision to help fund Hwy. 401 in- terchanges. “We’re feeling the direct impact here at home,” he said. “The Region funding 400-series highways has crippled the Region’s ability to do roads.” He added, “I don’t see this list mov- ing very far very fast... without either massive debt or massive tax increases, these roads are not going to happen.” MARK HOLLAND ‘We’re feeling the direct impact here at home.’ CITY from page 1 PICKERING PICKERING PARKWAY 401 2 BAYLY ST.

Fax it Ajax and Pickering News Advertiser General 683-7363 DURHAM —Students from 17 Catholic elementary schools in Durham are slated to shift their brains into high gear at the 4th Annual Think Bowl Competition in Whitby. Four-person teams will match wits at St. Mathew the Evangelist Catholic Elemen- tary School on April 24 and 25. The competition sees stu- dents presented with a prob- lem they have not seen before. They then work together to list all the sub-problems it pre- sents and come up with as many possible solutions as they can. The students then have one- and-a-half hours to prepare for the performance of their solu- tion in a dramatic presentation. Think Bowl is designed to foster teamwork, creative thinking and problem solving in a fun and competitive envi- ronment. Debbie Lukow, an English as a second language itinerant teacher in Pickering, is co- chairman of the event with St. Mathew teacher-librarian Sandy Coscarella. Ms. Lukow said the win- ning team in the junior (grades 4-6) and intermediate (grades 7-8) divisions will move on to the provincial competition in June. The top three teams in each division receive medals. The public is invited to at- tend and watch the students’ drama presentations. Presenta- tions start at 1:30 p.m. each day, with the junior teams competing April 24 and the in- termediate teams the following day. The school is located at 60 Willowbrook Dr., one street north of Dryden Boulevard off Garden Street. • Village Chrysler - Durham’s Largest Volume Dealer - Presents • Wise customers read the fine print: These are limited time offers which may not be combined with any other offer except Grad Rebate, “Great Opportunities” program and applied to retail deliveries for personal use only on all new in-stock 2001 vehicles.

These are very diffi- cult issues and the report is saying, ‘let’s sit down together and talk about it’.” Asked if the recommendations will lead to the resumption of widespread ac- tivities in Durham this September, she replied, “I hope so. “A Durham parent is not going to be satisfied until their kid gets what they need, and I understand that,” said Ms. Ecker. Charlene Westbrook, spokesman for Durham Coalition for Extracurricular Activities (DCECA), said the minister is right on that point. While she had not read the complete report, she called what she had seen, “disappointing. “There’s no solution in this paper ex- cept, ‘we’re going to talk about it some more,’ which is so disappointing,” she said. She did like the recommendation concerning teachers pressuring col- leagues who do take part in activities. “I think this is an important state- ment,” said Ms. Westbrook. “From what we have heard in Toronto schools and out here from people, there is a definite peer pressure.” The panel also called for the ministry to include an after-school activities line item in the provincial funding formula.

Editorial &OPINIONS news advertiser April 15, 2001 Is history bound to repeat itself with pipeline? To the editor: The development of Petticoat Creek Conservation Area received wide GTA-media coverage in the early 1970s. The landowner, Con- servation Toronto and Region (CTR), did not seem to care too much about Pickering residents then, or now. In May 1974, a statement of concern was delivered by long- time Pickering resident David Riv- ett for the local community group stating: “Heavy trucks kept con- stantly running from 7:30 a.m. to as late as 11 p.m. transporting fill and building materials through the area. Speed limits and half-load re- strictions were seldom respected, endangering the safety and upset- ting the living pattern of the resi- dents. Pickering Town council, local police and Mr. (William) Newman MPP were involved in trying to stop this unnecessary ag- gravation. They were only partially successful.” What guarantee is there that his- tory will not be repeated with the proposed York Region pipeline through the same lands? With the massive size and scope of this pro- ject, the next “aggravation” to Pickering residents could be sec- ond to none. Despite Pickering council’s re- quest, CTR has expressed no oppo- sition to the project and stands to gain the biggest financial windfall as the landowner. Pickering will be left holding a carrot. A park is supposed to be a park. The pumping station in Petticoat could be its most visible landmark, even if hidden, with acres of high fencing visible to all who enter — an ominous buzzing ever pervasive as the latest landmark to join the Pickering Nuclear General Station, which the City also hosts. York Region’s presence here seemingly opens the door to un- controlled development of the Oak Ridges Moraine in the future through this long-term water sup- ply. Against its wishes, Pickering will be a major contributor. The Mike Harris government, known for its pro-development policies, is loathe to issue a policy statement to protect the moraine, or even Pickering. This is the last chance for read- ers to deliver a loud and clear ‘no pipeline’ message to Premier Har- ris, the environment minister, local MPP Janet Ecker,York Region and CTR. More details are available at www.blackhole.on.ca/petition.htm. Marian Martin, Pickering Dear Jim Flaherty, finance minister, Whitby-Ajax MPP: First of all, let’s get one thing straight. We like you, we really like you. The good citizens of Whitby-Ajax voted you into office with overwhelm- ing majorities in 1995 and 1999. Not only that, but we’ve shown our support for the Mike Harris government and the Common Sense Revolution by backing your fellow Durham Region Tories, in- cluding Education Minister Janet Ecker (Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge). So, under- stand we’re on side, we’re behind you. We’re not like those Liberal/NDP back- ing radicals in Northern Ontario, Ot- tawa, Hamilton, Windsor, or, worst of all, Toronto. Now that we’ve established our loy- alties, Jim, we’d like to get down to the nitty-gritty. It’s all about the money, specifically the $50-million transit handout and $75-million in creative ‘as- sessment and other costs’ accounting that has provided Hogtown a $125-mil- lion bonus this year. Suddenly, Mayor Mel Lastman, whose 18 per cent prop- erty tax increase prediction put him in the hospital for heaven’s sake, can breathe easy with predictions of a rela- tively meagre five per cent hike. He’s re- lieved Jim, and though he’ll never say it publicly, he thanks you big time. But what about the poor people of Durham? We’re your home base, we’re where you live. We’re looking at region- al taxes going up 10 per cent or more this year and some of us will see anoth- er 10 per cent rise in our municipal taxes too. It’s not a pretty picture. We like the provincial income tax cuts your predecessor delivered over the past five years and we understand you will keep up that good work. But, Jim, we need the kind of help Toronto so gen- erously received from you. Based on population alone, we figure we’re enti- tled to a decent percentage of Toronto’s cash-grab. We’ll forget about that $50 million for the subway. But what about the other $75 million? Toronto’s getting a $45 million break on current value as- sessment, as well as upwards of $12 million for sales tax breaks and a lower payout for pooled GTA social services costs. If Toronto pays less into the GTA social services pool, we can only guess who’ll pay more: us. If you’ve read the reports you’ll note that Durham, in large part because of massive growth over the last two decades, is underfunded in a variety of ways: our hospitals, school boards, po- lice services, roads and transit systems, just to name several, are well behind the provincial averages on a per capita basis. This shouldn’t be. The Province has denied any special treatment for Toronto, but you can’t blame local residents for feeling like poor second cousins at times. Now, in trying to catch up, Durham taxpayers are facing huge double-digit increases. It’s not fair Jim, not when you let Toronto off the hook so easily. Do the right thing Mr. Finance Minister and show us the money. We deserve a break. E-mail your comments on this opinion to steve.houston@durhamnews.net. EDITORIAL LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time for Durham to get its fair share of funding Please Mr. Minister, can we have some cash? Forget Yuk Yuk’s, is there a better comedy routine in Durham than the one regularly put on by our regional politicians? These guys just keep evoking vivid images of Barney Fife. You know, tough talking, but absolutely silly looking when the stakes are highest. Councillors recently dropped their persistent gig of railing at the Province from a safe distance long enough to take on a new assignment: showing Durham’s police force the annual mas- sive growth in its big, fat, ever-growing budget had to be tempered some. Durham Chairman Roger Anderson set the tone, warning earlier this year that if other Regional departments were given a budget guideline and ig- nored it, “everyone in this room... would be marching them out the door.” As such, police should expect the same. From there, one by one council- lors took their stand and shots, vowing police would be kept to a three-per cent increase in funding of the entire Regional levy. Clarington Mayor John Mutton even went a step further and motioned (unsuccessfully) that police be restricted to a one- or two-per cent increase in 2001. Tough words. And yes, for those of you keeping score at home, certainly sentiments we’ve heard in years past. But this time — we were promised — would be different. Yeah, this year police officials just had to keep ignoring councillors’ di- rections a little longer to get what they wanted. And for the record, it’s $82.4 million, or, slightly more than four per cent added to the Region’s budget, or, a 15-per cent jump on the 2000 police budget. Now, certainly the department needs to grow to meet ever-changing demands. And I also accept a tax in- crease this year is a reality. However, these empty speeches by council have merit. While the police budget has grown by quantum leaps and bounds, other departments have been told to cut. Thanks to the federal and provin- cial governments, the local money tree isn’t blooming like it once did. It’s called getting by with less. And that means recognizing that while our police department needs to grow, our horrible roads also need at- tention, our suffering conservation au- thorities need help and our waste-dis- posal system needs an overhaul. It means police brass should be expected to expand their narrow sights from to- morrow, to at least next week. But it won’t come by simply mak- ing motions, as Pickering Councillor Mark Holland did Tuesday, to promise police will be kept to a three-per cent increase in 2002. It will come by back- ing their bark with some bite. Many will be watching with inter- est. E-mail your comments on this opin- ion to tdoyle@durhamnews.net. The greatest show on earth? Empty speeches do nothing to keep budgets down Tony Doyle News Editor AJAX —The deadline is fast ap- proaching to recognize someone who makes Ajax a great place to live. The 15th annual Ajax Civic Award will be presented during Home Week festivities in June. It’s given annually to an individual who has made an out- standing and continuous voluntary con- tribution to the community. “This award allows us to recognize someone who goes beyond what you would expect of the typical community resident,” Mayor Steve Parish said. “A vibrant community depends on people going beyond the norm, and we have many, many residents who do just that. This is the chance for one special indi- vidual to be recognized.” Last year’s recipient was Druce Ayres, a tireless volunteer in the areas of health care, accessibility, transporta- tion and sports. Nominations must be postmarked no later than Monday, May 7. All cur- rent or former Ajax residents are eligi- ble for the award, including people nominated in the past but who didn’t win. An anonymous panel, none of whom are council members or Town staff, select the recipient. All entries are confidential, but the nominee must agree to be nominated. In addition to the nomination form, nominators should include, in full de- tail, the nominee’s community involve- ment. While the contribution must be voluntary, it can relate to expertise re- ceived through training, work experi- ence or education.

BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer Three women whose tes- timony helped convict a mur- derer and a 10-year-old girl who saved her friend’s life were among the nine people honoured by the Durham Re- gional Police Service Wednesday for their acts of bravery. Kris Hills, Cheryl Carpen- ter and her sister Nola Lachance received civilian awards of merit during a cer- emony in Whitby for the role they played in helping to con- vict Robert Appleton, who brutally stabbed Bow- manville bank teller Jennifer Copithorn to death in August, 1998 outside the bank where she worked. “Their quick thinking re- sulted in Mr. Appleton being arrested within minutes of him committing this horrific crime,” Staff Sergeant Roy Good told the crowd gathered at Durham Region headquar- ters. “These women became very important witnesses for the prosecution... as a result of their excellent testimony at the preliminary hearing, Robert Appleton was com- mitted to stand trial for mur- der.” Ms. Hills, who heard Jen- nifer’s screams while she was working in a nearby office, said she ran outside to see what was happening and was just three feet away from Mr. Appleton as he repeatedly stabbed Jennifer. “It was violent and horren- dous. She was so tiny and he was such a big man,” she said, adding she yelled at the man, kicked off her shoes at him and then followed him in her car for four blocks until a passing police cruiser was flagged down. Ms. Hills alerted Ms. Car- penter and Ms. Lachance, who also followed Mr. Apple- ton until he was arrested. “I’m extremely grateful for these two. They were face to face with a murderer... we all just reacted because it was the right thing to do,” Ms. Hills said of the sisters. Roxanne Rideout, a 10- year-old Oshawa girl, was also honoured for the heroism she displayed in saving the life of her friend, Miranda Cormier, last October. The girls were running across Wentworth Street West when Roxanne realized they were about to be hit by a car. She pushed her friend Miran- da forward in an attempt to push her out of the way. The car did strike both girls, but because Miranda was pushed she landed on the roadway out of the path of the car. Roxanne, however, wasn’t as lucky. The car pushed her for- ward and then drove over top of her. The male driver fled the scene but was arrested several blocks away and charged with various offences. “I’m very proud of her,” said Roxanne’s mother Joanne, who reported her daughter suffered a broken collarbone, two broken ribs, contusions around her face and internal bleeding as a re- sult of the Oct. 5 accident. The 10-year-old, who said it felt “good” to be honoured, said her reaction was simply an instinct. And, she’s learned an important lesson as a re- sult, she added, “Don’t be crossing the roads when you’re not at the lights.” Other award recipients in- cluded: • Doug Pitts of Brooklin, who discovered a farmer trapped under a tractor with a hay rake on June 27, 2000. The victim had been trapped for almost two hours and was slipping into a state of shock. Mr. Pitts shut off the tractor engine stopping the hay rake and then pulled the victim to safety before going for help. • Sandy Black and Barry Bynoe, who helped a man who had suffered a heart at- tack while driving on Ross- land Road near Attersley Drive in Oshawa last Novem- ber. The pair performed CPR on the victim, who later re- covered, until paramedics ar- rived on scene. • Jill Rypstray and Leslie Turner, who came to the aid of a motorist who was suffer- ing from diabetic shock while driving in Clarington last July. Ms. Rypstray noticed a vehicle swerving on the road and when she pulled up be- side the car, she realized the driver was in some kind of medical distress. Mr. Turner, who was travelling in another vehicle, managed to stop the victim’s car by positioning his vehicle in front of it. The female driver was taken to Lakeridge Health Bow- manville by ambulance where she was treated and released. “It’s truly a pleasure to have such fine citizens repre- sented here today,” said Durham Chairman Roger An- derson, who said the nine re- cipients are “a small token of the residents of Durham Re- gion and their commitment to making sure everyone’s lives in Durham Region are as safe and as respected as possible... these (individuals) are truly heroes.” NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 15, 2001 PAGE 7 A/P Local heroes honoured by Durham Regional Police Alert, selfless citizens recognized for quick actions in times of crisis SUSAN O’NEILL/ News Advertiser photo Cheryl Carpenter (left), Kris Hills and Nola Lachance were recognized for their efforts in helping Jennifer Copithorn, who was stabbed to death by her estranged boyfriend in Bowmanville in 1998.

Their task: to keep this three- week-old growing concern still enough for photographer Carl Ferencz to snap a photo. But uninterested in co-operat- ing, the animal flips and flops about, landing in a trough filled with hay at the feet of the milking cows lining the dairy barn. The children manage to pull her out and the picture is snapped for pos- terity. Their mother, Anne Marie, keeps a watchful eye while ex- plaining what 4-H has meant to the Werrys. She joined 4-H as a 12-year- old in Victoria County and, after going through the entire program to graduate at the age of 21, Mrs. Werry is a leader within Durham West 4-H. Her husband Eldon is another 4-H grad, who leads a number of dairy and calf clubs. Their children are all involved as well, with 14-year-old Maria and 12-year-old Sarah both top novice showmen. As for eight-year-old Dan, he's just three years too young for the calf clubs. But he can't wait to be part of the action. "No matter how well you do in the show ring, (being in 4-H) makes you feel good," their moth- er explains. "By the fall fair season, Dan will have that calf so it will start and stop walking when he wants it to. And he'll know it was him who was able to make that (cam- era-shy) calf that just fell in the gutter able to do it all." The 4-H program grew out of the Boys and Girls Clubs dating back to the first in Manitoba in 1913. They were organized by the Provincial ministries of agricul- ture and originated for the pur- poses of improving agriculture, increasing production and enrich- ing rural life, according to the 4-H official Web site. In 1952, these groups adopted the 4-H title, with the four Hs standing for head (trained to think, plan and reason), heart (to be kind, true and sympathetic), hand (to be useful, helpful and skillful) and health (to resist dis- ease, enjoy life and make for effi- ciency). Its current motto is 'Learn to do by Doing' and while there are clubs devoted to horticulture, dairy, calf judging and other as- pects of agriculture, there are also such life skills clubs as nutrition, dancing, sporting, drama, photog- raphy, and Canadian heritage. In the words of Maria Werry, 4-H is not a "cow-thing". "4-H is a place to learn more things outside of school," she says. Organized under the old coun- ty system, 4-H Ontario has two different chapters in Durham tak- ing in members along those now dated boundaries. Durham East has approximately 200 member families from the Blackstock and Clarington areas, while Durham West has about 265 members from Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, and Scugog to as far north as Sunderland. After almost a century of exis- tence, 4-H has had to adapt to some change but the organization is holding its own in the new mil- lennium, say members of the local chapters. They agree the biggest challenge recently has been adjusting to life without the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. After years of gradually loos- ening its ties with 4-H, OMAFRA pulled out of the farm club busi- ness altogether when it underwent major restructuring last year. Not only did it mean the closure of local field offices, including Durham's only outlet in Port Perry, but 4-H lost its rural orga- nization specialists and a support person the ministry supplied to each chapter, explains Durham East president Mike Metcalfe. "We saw what was happening and we took two steps ahead of the ministry," he says. "We knew it was coming and we had the foresight to make some changes on our own." The 4-H organization still re- ceives some provincial funding but OMAFRA also no longer pro- vides any of the club awards or the resource material. That's all left up to 4-H's provincial organization now. Leaders receive one booklet per club from 4-H Ontario and local chapters must absorb all of the photocopying fees, says Mr. Met- calfe. Durham East's solution has been to approach local businesses to help with photocopying when they can. And while some 4-H chapters in Ontario have chosen to increase fees per club, Durham East now asks that members pay the $5 fee for 4-H Ontario, bring- ing the cost up to $20 from $15. "But that's whether you're in one club or seven," Mr. Metcalfe adds. "We have a strong executive which works hard at fund-raising. This year we have one leader (Jim Coombs) who has been with us 30 years, who is willing to shave his head and beard if we raise $1,000." Durham West decided to take the other route and increase its fees for clubs. For this, the chap- ter took some hits from neigh- bouring 4-H groups, admits secre- tary Dianne Stone. Members pay $15 to 4-H Ontario and an addi- tional $10 per club. Compared to other sport and club registration fees, those prices are still fairly reasonable, she says. In the absence of OMAFRA staff support, 4-H Ontario has started to develop their own con- sultants for local chapters, which Mrs. Stone sees as a plus. Where- as OMAFRA staff had a multi- tude of tasks, this new support person will be entirely focused on 4-H, she says. Mr. Metcalfe believes things will continue to look good for 4-H as long as its provincial organiza- tion stays strong in the aftermath of the OMAFRA pull-out. He sees it as a tool to create a better understanding between farm folk and their city neighbours. "It's more than just a rural- based program. It's open to any youth," he says, adding 4-H's clubs are so diverse they can at- tract urbanites as well. But for now, the majority are farm families, at least in Durham West, says Mrs. Werry. She ac- knowledges times are tough in agriculture these days with it be- coming more and more difficult for young people to make a living on the farm. Nevertheless, she says she hopes 4-H survives for many generations to come. "I think the thing that stands out is the members' and leader- ship conferences. You had a chance to meet other members, to prepare speeches and learn about organization," she says. "Maria is doing them now and I've noticed she's a lot more confident." Both Sarah and Maria say they're committed to 4-H until the age of 21 and hope their children get the chance to be a part of the program. Their eyes light up with tales of meeting new friends, trips to different sports events, fall fairs, or just how "nerve-wracking" it can be when your cow acts up in the show ring. Maria admits she's probably one of only four 4-H students at her high school of Paul Dwyer in Oshawa. But if every 4-H family is as enthusiastic as the Werrys, 4-H's roots seem firmly planted for the future. Maria (left), Dan and Sarah Werry tend to a calf in the family's dairy barn. The children are mem- bers of the Durham West 4H club, one of two clubs in Durham, the other is the Durham East. It’s more than just cows4H CARL FERENCZ/ News Advertiser photo AJAX —Warmer weath- er means it’s time to get out the ‘Kiss the Cook’apron and dust off the barbecue. However, before lighting up the gas or propane barbe- cue, remember to follow some common sense guide- lines to ensure safe cooking, says Thom Evered, fire pre- vention officer with Ajax Fire and Emergency Services. “Propane and natural gas barbecues are safe and conve- nient if you maintain and use them properly,” Mr. Evered said. Unfortunately, every year people are unnecessarily injured while lighting their barbecues, he added. Tips to follow to ensure safe barbecuing include: • Test all connections and hoses for leaks by using a 50- 50 solution of soap and water. Do not use matches, lighters or flames to check for leaks; • Replace worn and rusted parts. Old or corroded burn- ers should be replaced; • Clean everything thor- oughly; • Light a match or lighter before opening the valve; and • Always barbecue outside in a well-ventilated area and away from windows and combustible surfaces. Should you smell gas, im- mediately shut off the gas supply from the tank. Also turn off the burner controls, extinguish any open flame and open the grill lid to venti- late the gas. If the odour con- tinues, call your gas supplier or the fire department. Other items to remember: • When moving a propane cylinder from one area to an- other, ensure the valves are closed and that the canister is in the upright position; • Keep children a safe dis- tance away, as the barbecue is hot and can cause severe burns; • Never leave a lit barbe- cue unattended; • Always turn off the bar- becue and the gas supply valve after cooking; and • Always follow the manu- facturer’s instructions before using or repairing a barbecue.

Set in a British village dur- ing the coal-mining strike of 1984, ‘Billy Elliot’ is the story of a young boy who gives up boxing for ballet. The dance instructor, played by Julie Walters, en- courages Billy by telling him, “It’s how you move and ex- press yourself that’s impor- tant.” The movie is showing at the Ajax Cineplex Odeon, on Hwy. 2 at Pickering Beach Road, on Wednesday, April 18 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $6 and available at the theatre on the day of the show. The Film Circuit is present- ed by the Friends of the Ajax Public Library and Val Mar- shall Travel, in co-operation with the Toronto Film Festival Group. Some of the proceeds go to the Friends as part of the group’s $1 million fund-rais- ing effort for a new central li- brary branch.

The committee approved the budgets at its meeting Tuesday. “It’s part of our commit- ment to try to start doing some more work on the en- vironment,” Ajax Council- lor and finance committee chairman Jim McMaster said of the 2001 budget for local conservation authori- ties, which represents an increase of roughly $680,000 over last year. However, despite the fact conservation authori- ties are getting a funding increase, they won’t be get- ting as much money as they had wanted for two specific projects, he said. The finance committee cut $107,650 from a water- shed monitoring program and $150,000 from a groundwater management program, Coun. McMaster reported, noting those areas will be addressed through a joint project between Durham, York and Peel re- gions regarding the Oak Ridges Moraine. As for the Emergency Medical Services budget, which covers land ambu- lance costs, the committee approved a $17.5-million budget for 2001. With the Province kicking in rough- ly $5.7 million, Durham’s net contribution to the pro- gram is about $11.5 mil- lion. The budget includes funding for an additional 25 full-time staff and the expansion of advanced care paramedic training, Coun. McMaster said. The budgets will go to council for consideration April 25.

Durham golfers, for-e example, are blessed with an abundance of golfing opportunities, which don’t necessarily exist in other areas. With the region’s booming popu- lation, golf operators are respond- ing to the need, with new courses onstream and applications for oth- ers currently before various govern- ment levels and agencies. Once they get the green light on those pro- jects, the bulldozers will come in to create more fairways and greens. Golfers Dream, Heather Glen, Watson Glen and El Dorado are ex- amples of new courses which have either opened recently or are about to open to serve Durham’s growing legion of golfers. And more are on the way. And A/P PAGE 14 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 15, 2001 Durham’s golf community deserves our heartfelt thanks they can’t soon enough for most of us. But Durham golfers are blessed in other ways. The golf community here is rich, not only in its history, but in its current composi- tion. While golfers such as Derek Gillespie, Ed Maunder and Angela Buzminski make headlines for their forays into professional golf, there is an incredible community of people promoting the game on various levels. People like John Up- richard and John Lawrence, who bring tournament golf to hundreds of juniors, pros like Jerry Nemish, Frank Corby, Darren Stalteri, Matt Butler and Bruce Welsh who pa- tiently endure the musings of Mr. And Mrs. Average Golfer, owner-operators like Bruce Summers and Wilson Paterson, who have built the game over decades in Durham. There are those who have dedicated a lifetime to the game and have been hon- oured for their hard and hum- ble work, people like 80- year-old Kay Helleur of Whitby, who will take her rightful place in the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame in May, or Jean Pratt of Oshawa, made an Honourary Life Director by the Ontario Ladies Golf Association, or David Mills of Brooklin, the executive di- rector of the Ontario Golf Association (which recently joined forces with the OLGA to form the Golf Association of Ontario). The people mentioned above, along with others too numerous to mention, are the people largely responsible for introducing the game to fresh faces each year, some of whom go on to embrace the game at a competitive level, others who simply enjoy the recreational nature the sport offers. Next time you tee it up, or hear about an area golfer making a name for him or herself, remember it doesn’t happen in isolation. There’s a whole commu- nity at work - and they de- serve our thanks. Stuart Brindle may be a youth- ful 29, but he doesn’t lack experi- ence at Deer Creek. The new director of golf at the prestigious 45-hole facility in north Ajax has been working there since he was 17. Brindle started out as a pro shop attendant while attending Picker- ing High School. Upon graduation, he enrolled at the University of Toronto, graduat- ing with a physical education de- gree while playing football with the Blues. He returned each summer to work at Deer Creek. Following that, Brindle suc- cessfully completed the golf man- agement program at Humber Col- lege. “It’s great,” says the friendly Brindle. “The way it has worked out, I’m pretty happy.” Golfers who come to the Deer Creek facility can expect a quality golfing atmosphere, says Brindle. “We kind of offer everything,” says Brindle, pointing to the high end North Course, which offers a challenging layout, quick rounds and no tournaments. Deer Creek’s South Course plays a stroke or two easier, is well-maintained and accepts tour- nament play, he notes. In addition, the Deer Creek Golf Academy is “the best in On- tario,” according to Brindle. “It’s huge, we have three acres of bent grass tee decks.” Brindle rises through the ranks at Deer Creek Stuart Brindle started working at Deer Creek when he was 17. Twelve years later, he has taken over as di- rector of golf at the prestigious 45-hole Ajax facility.

Drivers that cost in excess of $700. ‘Smart’ balls that still produce dumb shots, costing $60 a dozen. But there’s one thing golfers can put a little money into that will pay certain dividends - club fitting. “Fitting has been around a long time, but today with the technology and the amount of product on the market - 20 years ago there were maybe eight to 10 different shafts on the market and now there’s probably 300 shafts, it’s that much more important,” says Bryan Johnston of the Ken Ful- ton Golf Centre. Sure, golfers who want to improve their games should also invest - and probably heav- ily - in lessons. But proper fitting of golf clubs is crucial to producing consistently on the golf course, believes Johnston. “Custom fitting may lower your score, it may not,” says Johnston. “But it will create more frequent, better shots.” Stuart Brindle, the director of golf at Deer Creek, says it’s really a no-brainer for golfers pondering whether to custom fit clubs. “If you’re going to spend that kind of money, why not make sure you get clubs that are right for you?” says Brindle. “It only makes sense. It’s like buying a car without test driving it first.” Club fitting involves golfers swinging a variety of clubs with different shaft stiffnesses and lengths. Clubhead speed and shaft load are analysed. “We take a person’s specs and we have a rack of different flexes, stiffness and lie angles,” says Brindle. “I heard an inter- esting stat, that 80 per cent of all golf clubs sold were fitted first - that’s in North America,” says Brindle. Increasingly, area clubs, pro shops and driving ranges are offering full fitting services. “It certainly is the way to go,” says Johnston. Frank Corby, the head pro at Royal Ashburn, tells a story that illustrates the importance of club fitting “I had a fellow, who was 6- foot-7 and had massive hands, he could palm a basketball,” says Corby. “He was using his sister’s hand me down clubs. It was the most ill-fitted equipment I have ever seen. It took a lot of con- vincing, but once he got clubs that fit, he could literally hit the ball three times further. He came back one time, literally in tears, this was a grown man, he was having so much fun. He shot in the 80s, when before he had trouble breaking 100.” Now, Corby’s not necessari- ly guaranteeing a 20-shot re- duction in your score, but he says anyone considering pur- chasing clubs should get them custom fit. The cost of the club fitting service varies, some as clubs offer it for as little as $15, while others charge up to $75. Most places will put that cost toward the purchase price of a new set of clubs should a consumer want to buy clubs where they get the fitting done. Custom fitting clubs produce ‘more frequent, better shots’ The smart move is to get clubs that suit your swing, area pros say Chris Jones, director of operations at the Deer Creek Academy, with the rack of clubs they use to custom fit clubs for customers.

With the Canadian Tour in the midst of an extended hiatus after opening its sea- son in Myrtle Beach, S,C. in February and March, the Oshawa pro feels like a man without a place to play. “It sucks,” he says bluntly in a phone inter- view from West Palm Beach, Fla., where he’s working on his game. With the Canadian Tour not scheduled to resume until June in British Co- lumbia, Gillespie is re- signed to trying to play in Monday qualifiers for the buy.com tour. “It’s not very much fun,” says Gillespie of the golfing void he’s enduring. “My game’s not very good right now. On Mon- day qualifiers, you have to shoot 67 or 68 and if you don’t do that you don’t play. If you don’t play, then you’re travelling, waiting around...,” says Gillespie, a University of Arizona product whose home club is the Oshawa G.C. Self-criticism aside, Gillespie has performed strongly so far in this ab- breviated season. He sits on the Canadian Tour’s Order of Merit with more than $11,000 in earn- ings after four events. “I’ve played pretty well for the most part,” he says, after some prodding about his early success, which in- cludes a tie for second- place in the first event of the season. Gillespie has carded 43 birdies in 12 rounds of golf this season and has the ability to go low. “I just can’t seem to put four good rounds together, if I can get four rounds to- gether, that’s my goal,” he says. Gillespie says he’s pret- ty comfortable in his rook- ie season on tour, noting “I’ve enjoyed myself. I played with a lot of the guys growing up.” Gillespie’s strong play isn’t going unnoticed. After finishing as low Canuck in the 2000 Bell Canadian Open, media and fans are following his play, some of whom are compar- ing the Oshawa native to Mike Weir. But Weir dismisses any comparison to Canada’s top-ranked male golfer, suggesting he just wants to improve each time out. “I don’t think about that (comparisons to Weir), I’m just trying to improve my game,” he says. “Going out on the course everyday makes me happy. “I love the sport and that is all I’m thinking about right now.” Derek Gillespie has enjoyed a strong start to the Canadian Tour season. He has a second-place fin- ish among his four starts and sits 12th on the Order of Merit. ‘It’s not very much fun’ waiting for Canadian Tour to resume, he says A group of avid golfers are hoping to raise a little green for Operation Scugog this spring. The Duke of Durham Charity Golf Tournament takes place Saturday, May 26 at Oliver’s Nest in Oak- wood and spots are filling up fast, say organizers. The tournament is open to a total of 52 golfers with tee times beginning at 10:40 a.m. There is a $65 entry fee, which includes golf and dinner, plus a silent auction to take place afterwards. But there’s more to tak- ing part than just playing golf. Each golfer will also be given a pledge sheet to help raise money for Opera- tion Scugog. Organizers will then take the proceeds to Reid’s Independent and with the help of Operation Scugog volunteers, pur- chase groceries for the local food bank. Organizers plan to make the tournament an an- nual event, raising dollars for a different organization each time. So far, attracting golfers hasn’t been a prob- lem, says Mr. Jeffares. The Duke of Durham is located at 56 Water St. in Port Perry. For more information, contact Mr. Jeffares at 905- 985-0885.

Duggan, the Durham College golf coach, is also co-chairperson of the Ping 2001 Canadian Col- leges Athletic Association Nation- al Championship. Collegiate golf, which is huge- ly popular in the United States, is still in its relative infancy in Cana- da. When Durham hosts the na- tional championship this October at Lakeridge Links in north Whit- by, it’ll mark just the second Canadian finals. Last year’s inaugural event was held in Victoria, B.C. and Duggan is looking to continue the building process. He’s already landed a title sponsor in Ping and has a small army of volunteers lined up, espe- cially from Durham’s sports ad- ministration and golf manage- ment programs, to ensure the championship runs smoothly. “There are so many excellent collegiate golfers across Canada, what an excellent way to show- case them,” says Duggan. Victoria’s Camosun College won last year’s event, led by indi- vidual medallist Luke Sheard, who shot rounds of 73-72-72 to finish at one-over-par 217. Twelve schools from across Canada will compete in this year’s nationals, which run Oct. 9-12. Although Durham is guaran- teed a berth in the nationals as host, Duggan hopes the Lords will be there as one of the medallists at the Ontario championship. “I’m looking for big things next year, now that we have a taste of what it’s all about,” says Dug- gan. The CCAA is ahead of its uni- versity brethren in golf. There is no national university champi- onship for the linksters, but Dug- gan says discussions are ongoing to create one national golf cham- pionship for both collegiate and university players. “That could be a big thing,” says Duggan.

Fall Qualifying School A/P PAGE 18 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 15, 2001 Maunder’s ‘getting better every week’ BY BRIAN LEGREE Golf Editor Life is pretty good for Eddie Maunder these days. The personable 23-year-old with long roots in Port Perry and short ones in Whitby is fulfilling a dream - that of professional golfer. In his rookie season on the Canadi- an Tour, Maunder is slowly starting to get comfortable with the lifestyle. The Canadian Tour opened its sea- son with four events in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and after missing the cut in the first two tourneys, Maunder followed through by making a couple of cheques, finishing 32nd at the South Carolina Challenge and 43rd at the CanAm Days Championship. His total earnings nudge $2,000, barely enough to cover expenses, but Maunder’s keeping it all in perspec- tive. “I’m getting better every week,” says Maunder, who grew up on Scu- gog Island and is a graduate of Port Perry High School, but now calls Whitby home. “The first cut I missed I had a real- ly bad tee time, it was cold and rain- ing. It wasn’t like I played bad.” In fact, the long-hitting Maunder has played well in 2001 and already has a couple of tourney titles to his credit this season, winning two events on a Florida-based mini-tour called the Moonlight Tour. “Some PGA guys like Larry Rinker, Dave Rummells and Fulton Allem play in a few of those events just to stay sharp,” says Maunder, who graduated last year from Eastern Michigan University with a degree in science and sports medicine. Maunder says the biggest differ- ence between amateur and pro golf is the mindset. “The biggest thing is expectation,” he says. “When you’re an amateur and you get one, two or three under- par, you start thinking that could be good enough to win and you start pro- tecting a lead. There is no protecting in pro golf, you have to keep making birdies.” And Maunder can make birdies. In the South Carolina Challenge he had 15 birdies and an eagle, but those were offset by 12 bogeys and two double-bogeys. He finished one- under-par. The Canadian Tour has a broadcast arrangement with the Golf Channel and Maunder is looking forward to watching the tape of his lone appear- ance. “They put me on once and I was in the bunker and (analyst) Mark Lye said I’d be lucky to get it on the green and I would probably bogey the hole and then I holed the bunker shot and Lye said ‘What do I know?’,” laughs Maunder. Getting your spikes wet in pro golf comes with a price and Maunder credits a few sponsors with helping him pursue his dream. Maunder represents Cherry Downs G.C. and says he’s able to compete with the support of Art Robson and Colin and Maggie Barron. With the Canadian Tour now on hiatus until June when it opens the Canadian portion of its schedule in British Colum- bia, Maunder will play some mini-tour events and try his hand at qualifying for a few PGA and buy.com events. He’ll also be one of several thousand golfers taking part in qualifying for this year’s U.S. Open. Maunder expects to play the bulk of the Canadian Tour this season and would like to finish in the top-30 on the order of merit. He believes he can win a tourney. “I think I can win, even though it’s my first year. I think I have the tools, I’m hitting it down the middle and if I can get hot with the putter. You have to play to win. These guys are good out here,” says Maunder. News Advertiser file photo Eddie Maunder is enjoying his first season as a professional on the Canadian Tour.

Helleur, an 80-year-old member of the Oshawa Golf Club, arrived home from a vacation in Florida to official news she will be inducted into the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame along with the late John Bryan Nash of London and the late Gordon McInnis Sr. of Fonthill at a May 9 ceremony at Wooden Sticks Golf Club in Uxbridge. They join notables such as George Knudson and Mar- lene Stewart Streit in the hall of fame. “It’s one of the biggest highlights of my life,” says Helleur. “It’s really quite a privilege. I’m quite hon- oured.” A native of Kenogami, Que., Helleur gains entry into the hall based on both her amateur playing career and administrative efforts. As a player, she won both the On- tario and Canadian senior ladies’am- ateur championships in 1974 and the provincial title again in 1977. She was also an Ontario amateur finalist in 1959 and 1961, the eastern On- tario champ in 1962 and fourth-place finisher at the North and South Ama- teur in 1958. “I love every aspect of it,” Helleur says of her sport of choice. “It’s one of the greatest games in the world without doubt.” Currently a member at both the Oshawa and Rosedale Golf Clubs, Helleur was the owner, designer and manager of the Woodbridge (now Woodlands) Golf & Country Club from 1953 to 1969. It is believed she was the first woman in North Ameri- ca to have done so. She also estab- lished the Canadian Ladies’Golf As- sociation’s National Senior Ladies’ Golf Championship in 1971 and founded the Ada Mackenzie Memo- rial Foundation, which raised $800,000 for disabled athletes over a 20-year period. “She’s just had a tremendous golf career,” says Heather Sinclair, who nominated Helleur. “I just thought she should really be recognized for her contribution to the game as a player, builder and pioneer.” Sinclair, whose mother used to compete against the new inductee, is currently helping Helleur write her memoirs. Gains entry based on stellar playing career and administrative efforts The Canadian Tour is the show- case of men’s professional golf in Canada. In 2001, the Canadian Tour will make 17 stops in three countries, including a first-time visit to the United States for the initial four events of the season in Myrtle Beach, S.C. A 10-year broadcast agreement with The Golf Channel will see a minimum of six events per year being played south of the border through 2010. Players will compete for a total of $2.7 million in prize money this year. The Canadian Tour has close to 200 members from several coun- tries. Fields at Canadian Tour events feature an international mix of up and coming stars and established veterans. A little less than half of the membership is Canadian including Oshawa’s Derek Gillespie and Whitby’s Ed Maunder, and the rest is made up of international players. All of Canada’s top profession- als have played on the Canadian Tour.

Ward 1 local Councillor Dave Ryan, Ward 2 local Councillor Bill McLean and Ward 3 local Council- lor David Pickles could soon be known as City councillors. Pickering council will be asked Tuesday to rename the local coun- cillor title to City councillor. Mem- bers of the City’s executive com- mittee approved the proposal Mon- day. “Although the title ‘local coun- cillor’ remains accurate, the title ‘City councillor’more appropriate- ly reflects a councillor elected in a ward of the City to represent the electors of that ward on the council of the City of Pickering,” stated City clerk Bruce Taylor in a written report. The Town of Pickering adopted the ‘local councillor’ title in No- vember, 1979. The change in title is designed to reflect the municipali- ty’s designation as a City, which came into effect Jan. 1, 2000.

Ontario’s Whitby Hanet Plastics junior ‘AA’ team — with six players from Ajax and Picker- ing in the lineup — reached the medal round with an impressive 5-2 win over Alberta last Friday, but had to settle for third place after falling 6-3 to British Columbia that same day. “We were ecstatic to win a medal,” said Team Ontario’s assistant coach Dave LaRochelle, of Pickering. “If getting a bronze medal can make you happy, it certainly did for us. The girls played their hearts out in intense competition and responded well.” He pointed out that the only two teams to de- feat Team Ontario during preliminary-round play at the nationals — Manitoba and B.C. — earned gold and silver medals, respectively. “Manitoba was a true champion. They went undefeated and they were a powerhouse. They had individual players who were superior in every respect,” explained LaRochelle. Manitoba, which defeated Ontario 8-2 in the round robin, won the gold medal handily, dumping B.C. 10-3 in the championship game. Ontario finished in third place with a 7-2 record in the preliminary round. Pickering’s Courtney Howell was named the team’s most valuable player. Whitby earned the right to represent Ontario by winning the provincial championship at the Iroquois Park Sports Centre. Local members of that team were Ashleigh and Courtney Howell, Dani Stover and Nicole LaRochelle from Pickering and Lauren Hun- chak and Mary T. Faux from Ajax. P PAGE 24 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 15, 2001 Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER april 15, 2001 JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo ‘Verif-Eyeing’the ball Pickering wrestler technically superior Jake LeDoux has little trouble winning national gold medal out west BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor A tough daily training schedule paid big dividends for an area wrestler at the Canadian Cadet/Juvenile Wrestling Championships in Saska- toon this past weekend. Ajax-based Team Impact Wrestling sent three wrestlers — Jake LeDoux, Oliver Salmon and Logan Hewkin — to nationals, with the club returning with two medals, including a gold won by LeDoux, 15, of Pickering. The Pickering High School student captured the 57-kilo division (125 pounds), defeating Joel Dainard of the Victoria (B.C.) Wrestling Club in the gold-medal match. LeDoux says a difficult training schedule paid off in his second con- secutive medal at the national cadet level. At the 2000 event, he won the freestyle cadet title at the 48-kilo (105 pounds) weight level. He was also named the meet’s out- standing wrestler for the cadet divi- sion. Coaches attending the champi- onships from across Canada voted on the award. “I was absolutely ecstatic,” said LeDoux of his win. “I felt confident that I would win this year at nationals. I trained so hard leading up to nation- als.” And, train hard he did. His daily training regimen in the weeks leading up to the high-profile meet consisted of weightlifting over his lunch hour at school, as well as another weightlift- ing session during his spare period. After school, he would run and take part in a one-hour technical wrestling session before heading off for an evening of practice. LeDoux noted the final was some- what of a letdown for him, defeating his Victoria B.C, opponent by techni- cal superiority (leading by 10 points in the match). In fact, he won four of his six matches the same way, with his lone close match coming in the quar- ter-finals where he defeated his oppo- nent 6-5. Meanwhile, Oliver Salmon, of Pickering, returned from Saskatchewan with the bronze medal in the 69-kilo class. Salmon won the bronze-medal match over Alex Dyas of the Scotia Scrappers wrestling club. The road to his bronze was a par- ticularly tough one for Salmon. He lost his first match to the wrestler who eventually won his weight class. That meant Salmon had to win nine consec- utive matches in order to put himself into a position for bronze. Along the way, Salmon pinned every one of his opponents. One other Team Impact wrestler, Logan Hewkin, lost in the quarter-fi- nals of his weight class. Impact finished third overall in the team competition in the cadet divi- sion.E-mail:al.rivett@durhamnews.netLocal girls ‘ecstatic’ with bronze Only two ringette clubs better than Ontario at nationals Please recycle FAX sports scores to 683-7363 Dan Ristich, right, of Gallantry’s Eatery, keeps a close eye on Verifeye ball carrier Steve Holmes during the championship game in the Pickering Men’s Basketball League.

Both teams played an up- tempo game in the first half, going basket for basket. In the second half, however, Caesar’s took control over a tiring Se- lect squad. Caesar’s made some timely interceptions and turned them into scoring op- portunities en route to a com- fortable 42-30 victory. Suzanne Jones led the way for Caesar’s with eight points. Krystal Green replied with 14 for Select. The second game between East Side Mario’s and the Bank of Montreal was almost identical to the first contest as both teams looked strong and the scoring was even in the first half. The fast break em- ployed by the bankers allowed them to open up the game in the second half. East Side net- ted some outside shots but could do little inside as the bankers scored a 42-30 win. Debi Bonar had a game- high 14 points for the Bank of Montreal, while Joanna Rear- don netted 12 for East Side Mario’s. Players in the league live in Ajax and Pickering.

SARGEANT CEDAR CEDARS FOR HEDGING Maples, Sod Excellent Prices 1 year guaranteed (905) 924-5512 Formerly (416) 825-8774 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 15, 2001 PAGE 31 P BY JIM EASSON Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — Curling is winding down at the Annandale Golf and Curling Club as only the club championships were left on the curling calendar. In the Thursday and Friday mixed combined championship, only 12 teams entered, so a points bonspiel was run instead. Bob Evans and his team of Linda Kells, Rob Schlee and Liz Schlee won the ‘A’ side. The ‘B’- side winner was the Joel Porter rink. With Porter were Zsuzanna Porter, Dan Stencell and Christine Smith. John Thain skipped the high two-game winner, and the high one-game winner was the team skipped by Rene Mat- teau. The regular leagues are finished, and the men’s club championship draw is under way. Twenty-four rinks began play in six events with the final set for April 18. The club champions will come from the eight teams left in the main draw. On April 10, it’s War- ren Leslie versus Keith Metrakos, Don Critchley vs. Blair Metrakos, Gord Norton vs. Geoff Fox, and Jon Payne vs. Bert Durand. The losers are out and the four winners play Tuesday, April 17 in the semi-final, leaving the final two to play on closing night Wednesday, April 18. ••• The tincan/bantam/junior curlers have their final banquet Sunday, April 22. They are advised that lunch is served for all the curlers, and that they should bring their skates. The ice is turned over to the skaters after the Last Chance Bonspiel finals are over. ••• The annual Last Chance Bonspiel goes at Annandale April 21 and 22. The annual end-of-the-curling-season event now has a full draw and a wait- ing list. ••• It was a frustrating time for an An- nandale rink at the JVC Mixed Re- gional playdowns at the Dalewood Golf and Curling Club, near Port Hope, March 31 and April 1. Warren Leslie and his mixed team of Brenda O’Hara, Dave Hutchison, and Kim Bourque ended their run with a 2-2 record, losing both the ‘A’- and ‘B’-side finals. The eight-team, double-knockout event sent Jeff Currie of Bayview and Guy Racette of Royals to the Ontario finals April 18 to 22 at the Royal Kingston Curling Club. The Ontario winner goes to the Canadian Mixed Championship next Jan. 6 in Weyburn, Sask. ••• The Annandale Skins event finalists have been decided. Graham Hill and his team of Jason March, Blair Me- trakos, and Matt Critchley will meet the Gord Norton rink of Rich Poole, Mike Susko, Doug Lawson and/or Ron Alexander. The final will be scheduled depending on which teams end up in the men’s club champi- onship. It is worth $50 an end, with an additional $50 bonus for the winners. Last October, 32 teams started out in the annual skins event.

Durham Region Council decreed that Millennium Coins be struck as a tangible reminder of the place you and your family called home in the year 2000. Each community within the Region was honored with a specially designed coin, arranged in a keepsake case. Regional Council directed that funds remaining after expenses were to be given to The Community Foundation of Durham Region for the Community Fund. A cheque for $4,000 was presented to The Community Foundation of Durham Region in March. Left to Right: Norm Leigh Region of Durham Rose McDade CIBC Community Manager Durham Catharine Tunney, Chair Community Foundation of Durham Region “Gifts that go on giving forever” Its Mission: To promote and administer charitable capital endowment funds and donations for the benefit of the citizens of Durham THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF DURHAM REGION Durham Region “Limited Edition Millennium Coins” A cheque being presented by CIBC to The Foundation (NC)-A beautiful smile is considered by Canadians to be the most important physical feature in a mate or potential mate. The recent Johnson & Johnson REACH® Whitening Floss Survey found that 28% of respondents value nice teeth more than nice eyes, a toned body and nice hair. While respondents from every province look for a great smile when sizing up a potential mate, Quebecers appear to value nice teeth above all other Canadians, with 44% of Quebec respondents ranking it the most important physical feature. The Johnson & Johnson REACH Whitening Floss Survey also shed light on Canadians’ flossing habits. Less than half of Canadians claim to floss about once a day: 42%. Albertans top all other provinces with 52% reaching for floss on a daily basis. And how did Canadians fare with regards to the leading causes of teeth discolouration: coffee, tea and cola? Well, it’s clear that Canadians like their caffeine! Forty per cent owned up to consuming two to three servings of coffee, tea or cola each day, 27% consumed four or more servings, while only 9% refrain from them. With Canadians consuming these amounts of teeth discolouring agents on a daily basis, it’s no surprise that 42% of respondents wish they had a whiter smile and 22% currently purchase whitening products for teeth. Johnson & Johnson conducted the survey for its new REACH Whitening Floss: the first-of-its- kind floss proven to whiten between teeth, where 70% of stains form.
