Clerk taped up
as bandits rob store
AJAX — Two masked bandits
bound a variety store clerk with
tape and made off with a large
amount of cash and cigarettes
Sunday.
Durham Regional Police said
men armed with a handgun
stormed the rear door at Ajax Food
Mart, on Westney Road South,
about 9 p.m. and tied the hands of
the 23-year-old employee, who was
then forced into a washroom.
The robbers, wearing ski
masks, gloves and long coats, filled
two garbage bags with money and
cigarettes and fled out the back of
the store.
The victim managed to free
himself a short time later and call
police.
Detectives are investigating.

PICKERING —The
Seaton land swap is moving
forward, but several of the
City’s questions and concerns
still remain.
As a part of the Province
announcing the final details of
the Oak Ridges Moraine Pro-
tection Act Monday, former
Toronto mayor David Crombie
outlined details of an agree-
ment that will protect nearly
1,360 acres of environmentally
sensitive Oak Ridges Moraine
land in Richmond Hill, swap-
ping it for land in the Seaton
area of north Pickering.
“I’m extremely pleased at
what we were able to accom-
plish through this settlement of
what was a very difficult On-
tario Municipal Board (OMB)
hearing,” Mr. Crombie said at
the announcement. “We are
creating a park nearly three and
a half times the size of Toron-
to’s High Park, and about a
third larger than Stanley Park
in Vancouver.”
On the recommendation of
the Oak Ridges Moraine Advi-
sory Panel, Municipal Affairs
and Housing Minister Chris
Hodgson asked Mr. Crombie to
mediate a settlement of the
OMB hearing on the Rich-
mond Hill lands.
Mr. Crombie worked with
the developers and other par-
ties with an interest in the
Moraine, and they reached an
agreement whereby the owners
of the Richmond Hill land will
be compensated with devel-
opable land in the Seaton area
of Pickering.
The Province will create a
showcase park with the ac-
quired land in Richmond Hill.
The Seaton lands consist of
about 7,000 acres bordered
roughly by Hwy. 7 to the north,
Brock Road to the east, the
Third Concession to the south
and the Toronto-Pickering bor-
der to the west.

ficial plan Seaton is slated for

Spain, Japan ready to enter ITER site fray
MOSCOW ––Over the past
couple of days delegates from
around the globe have arrived in
Moscow to prepare for continu-
ing negotiations on the ITER fu-
sion research and development
project.
This includes the Canadian
delegation, with representatives
from Clarington and Durham
Region: Chairman Roger An-
derson, Clarington Mayor John
Mutton, Iter Community Coun-
cil Chairman Gary Polonsky,
Economic Development Com-
missioner Pat Olive and Clar-
ington Planning Director David
Crome. The local contingent
joined federal and provincial
representatives at the opening of
negotiations Tuesday and were
to co-host a special reception
last night with the Canadian
Embassy at Ambassador to Rus-
sia Rod Irwin’s residence.
ITER has sometimes been
referred to as the Olympics of
Science, as countries compete to
host the $12-billion project. To
date, Canada has submitted the
only official bid, a site next to
the Darlington Nuclear Genera-
tion Station in Clarington. But
here, during negotiations this
morning, Spain officially an-
nounced its intention to submit a
site location. While not going
quite as far, the Japanese delega-
tion also strongly indicated its
site offering is very close, only
awaiting political approval.
But the comparison to the
Olympics is a bit of a misnomer.
With the exception of Canada,
regardless of where the project
goes, all the other bidding coun-
tries will carry on as partners in
energy research, all will fund it
and participate in the project.
Unlike Olympic siting where
there are many losers and one
clear winner, with ITER the
final selection must be satisfac-
tory to all parties, a win-win sit-
uation for the project and its nu-
merous partners.
Choosing a location for the
project is a large part of the ne-
gotiations, which also include
discussions on its technical as-
pects.
But it is the siting of the fa-
cility more than the physics or
science that is the most difficult
aspect of the talks because it in-
cludes factors outside the realm
of pure science, including socio-
economic issues and of course,
politics, suggests Iter Interna-
tional Chairman Robert Aymar.
Canada is the only formal bid
so far –– with Spain and Japan
imminent –– but Dr. Aymar be-
lieves the negotiating team is fa-
miliar enough with the sites that
may come forward to weigh
their merits.
“We know all the sites. The
formal and informal proposals
we can compare,” he relates,
noting the technical criteria for
the project have been proposed
for years.
All the sites to be considered,
he believes, will meet the tech-
nical criteria although in his
opinion, the Canadian site has
“many technical advantages” in-
cluding its proximity to Toronto
and its infrastructure.
Meanwhile, notes Mayor
Mutton, “We are here to deliver
one clear, unequivocal message.
We want ITER.”
It’s still business as usual at Veridian

‘We’re proceeding...’

DURHAM ––A recent
public outcry over a pair of
convicted sex offenders living
in Pickering culminated with
yesterday’s unveiling by
Durham Regional Police of a
‘High Risk Offender’ commu-
nity panel.
The advisory committee,
made up of police officers,
school board officials and a
forensic psychologist, will re-
view files of dangerous offend-
ers and recommend when the
names of convicted predators
should be publicized.
Deputy Chief Rod Piukkala
said confidential police files
and background information
on high-risk offenders will be
available to the panel, believed
to be the first of its kind struck
by a police force in this
province.
The concept arose during a
review of police procedures
sparked by recent controversy
over a pair of sex offenders liv-
ing together in south Pickering.
More than 450 local resi-
dents showed up at a public
meeting, many angry at police

Utility president says
May 1 electricity
market opening is
moving ahead
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
DURHAM —A court rul-
ing that stops the sale of Hydro
One won’t have much of an af-
fect on a local electrical suppli-
er.
“For a local utility, if
(Hydro One is) investor owned
or owned by the Province does-
n’t make a difference,” said
Veridian president John Wiers-
ma, adding the upcoming
opening of the electricity mar-
ket wouldn’t be affected by the
ruling.
“We’re proceeding on the
market opening on May 1. We
see that going forward,” he
stated. “It doesn’t make that
much of a difference.”
The Ontario Energy Board
would still regulate rates and
the rate of return, so “I can’t
see much of a difference. If it’s
investor owned, it might be
easier to get investment dol-
lars.”
On Friday, Justice Arthur
Gans of Ontario Superior
Court ruled the Ontario gov-
ernment doesn’t have the au-
thority to sell the corporation.
Hydro One is among the com-
panies created when the
provincial government broke
up Ontario Hydro. Hydro One
operates the transmission tow-
ers and lines carrying electrici-
ty. It also provides power to 1.2
million retail customers.

for not notifying them about the of-
fenders in their midst.
Deputy Piukkala said the panel
will be “a second set of eyes” for po-
lice.
He called it an innovative exten-
sion of the community policing style
in that it gives members of the public
a voice in the decision-making
process.
“This is something rather remark-
able and groundbreaking in its man-
date,” he said.
Under the Police Services Act
chiefs can release the names of high-
risk offenders living in the communi-
ty, but only if strict criteria are met.
Chief Kevin McAlpine promised
the panel will play a role in the
process.
“It is not a decision that is taken
lightly... I will take (the committee’s)
advice and guidance very seriously,
although the final decision will ulti-
mately rest in my hands,” he said.
Three civilians have been appoint-
ed to the panel: Don McLean,
Durham District School Board su-
perintendent of education; Chris
Hurst, who holds the same title with
the Durham Catholic Separate
School Board; and Dr. Robin Wilson,
a forensic psychologist and Ajax res-
ident.
Dr. Wilson is chief psychologist
and community director of Correc-
tional Service Canada’s relapse pre-
vention maintenance program for
parolees.
A father of three, Dr. Wilson ap-
plauds the decision to strike the
panel.
“I think it’s a bold move on the
part of Durham Regional Police to
involve the community. There is a lot
of knowledge and expertise outside
the police and it’s great they are
moving to include those voices,” he
said.
Police personnel on the panel in-
clude: Staff Inspector Brian Fazack-
erley, of the legal services branch;
Detective Sergeant Lynne Kantautas,
head of the Sexual Assault Unit; De-
tective Tom Hart, head of the Of-
fender Management Unit; and In-
spector John Morrison, who’s in
charge of regional support services.
The panel will look at offenders,
sexual and non-sexual, classified
high-risk and those under intensive
supervision by parole or probation
officials.
There are 129 registered sex of-
fenders currently living in Durham
Region.

with options concerning this matter of
great public importance,” she said in a
release.
Privatizing the company was ex-
pected to raise $5 billion for the gov-
ernment.
The privatization and share sale
was to open in June. In published re-
ports, Premier Ernie Eves said the de-
cision would slow the sale, but added
it may not happen at all.
Options open to the provincial gov-
ernment include changing the legisla-
tion to appease the courts or halting
the sale altogether.
The municipalities of Pickering,
Ajax and Clarington own Veridian,
while supplying electricity to a num-
ber of other communities, including
Uxbridge.
Spain says: ‘We
want ITER too!’
New bid offers
competition to Clarington
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
MOSCOW —Spain announced
during the opening of project negotia-
tions in Moscow yesterday that it will
proceed with a site offer for ITER.
Delegates from Canada, the Russ-
ian Federation, the European Union
and Japan met at the President’s Hotel
in downtown Moscow to continue to
work toward a final site selection. Al-
though it was originally hoped a site
would be announced by June, it ap-
pears the decision may not come until
this fall. The parties must have a deci-
sion in place by the end of this year
under their current mandates.
The announcement by Spain, part
of the European Union’s delegation,
was expected, said Dr. Murray Stewart
of Iter Canada. Originally, the Iter In-
ternational board said each delegation
could only submit one site proposal
but during negotiations earlier this
year determined it would be more ex-
pedient to allow each delegation to
forward all its proposals, he said.
France is also expected to submit an
EU bid. The EU council has not yet
endorsed the Spanish bid, however,
said Professor Carlos Alejaldre,
Spain’s representative.
The Spanish site, near Barcelona, is
similar to the Canadian bid in Claring-
ton in that it is near a main urban cen-
tre, close to a major sea port and adja-
cent to a nuclear facility. It does not
offer a source of tritium however, a
necessary ingredient for fusion experi-
mentation available in Clarington
where the bid site is next to the Dar-
lington Nuclear Generating Station.
Unlike Canada, which has been
pursuing the ITER (International
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor)
fusion research centre for almost a
decade, Spain only began investigat-
ing the idea about a year ago, said
Prof. Alejaldre.
Negotiations wound up today. The
next set of negotiations is expected to
take place in France in May. Japan is
also expected to submit a bid to host
the $12-billion project. Speaking to
the News Advertiser during a meeting
break, the head of the Japanese dele-
gation, Shigeru Aoe, said the “proba-
bility is very high” Japan will submit a
bid and he was optimistic a final ITER
site would be selected and the required
paperwork in place by the end of this
year.

Ajax, Pickering MS
walk raises $60,000
BY SARAH TEPER
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX —Hundreds of partici-
pants turned out Sunday to make
the Ajax-Pickering Super Cities
Walk for MS another success.
“It went very well,” said Chris
MacCready, chairman of the local
organizing committee. “We feel
like we put on a good event.”
Approximately 500 people
took to the five- or 10-kilometre
routes as part of the annual fund-
raising walk for multiple sclerosis
that begins and ends at Pickering
High School.
Sunday’s walk raised $60,000,
the same as last year, with to 10 to
15 per cent more expected later.
“We always get more after,”
Mr. MacCready said, adding
walkers have another four weeks
to hand in pledge forms.
Nationally, organizers said it
will be another few days until the
final fund-raising figure is
known.
The event is a major fund-rais-
er for MS research and client ser-
vices.
“It helps achieve an end goal
— trying to find a cure for MS,”
said Mr. MacCready.
Police mourn death of K-9 constable
DURHAM ––Durham Re-
gional Police and the commu-
nity have lost a “best friend.”
Leo, the 12-year-old trail-
blazing German Shephard who
served as the first police dog in
the department’s history, died
last Monday at the home of his
former K-9 partner, Constable
Peter Vanderduim.
Bred in Holland, Leo was
brought to the region in 1992
and formed a prolific crime-
fighting duo with Const. Van-
derduim until retiring in 1998.
“Leo set the standard by
which all police dogs are, and
will continue to be judged in
Durham Region,” said
Sergeant Paul Malik, police
spokesman.
He racked up 160 collars in
his six-year career, biting just
one bad guy.
“His size and presence was
an intimidating factor for the
bad guys,” said Sgt. Malik.
Const. Vanderduim and Leo
were popular local fixtures ap-
pearing in countless communi-
ty events and public demon-
strations.
“Leo was an incredible po-
lice dog, the picture of control
at all times. It was because of
his outstanding reputation the
Canine Unit was able to
achieve success and expand,”
Sgt. Malik said.
Const. Vanderduim, 49, now
works with the drug-sniffing
dog Dillon, a Springer Spaniel.

Participants in the annual Super Cities Walk for
MS make their way along one of the two routes
offered as part of the annual fund-raising event.
Approximately 500 people took part in the local
walk, which raised $60,000. Provincially,
25,000 walkers participated in community-
based walk-a-thons and raised approximately
$3.3 million.

DURHAM —Durham Re-
gion MPPs handed over
$622,945 to pay for more
front-line police officers as
part of a five-year
provincewide partnership.
The money is the final in-
stalment for the 2001/02 fiscal
year to help cover the salary,
benefits and overtime costs as-
sociated with hiring officers
under the community policing
partnerships (CPP) program.
Community safety contin-
ues to be a major priority for
the government, say Durham’s
four MPPs, Jim Flaherty
(Whitby-Ajax), Janet Ecker
(Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge),
John O’Toole (Durham) and
Jerry Ouellette (Oshawa). The
funds will ensure the goal of
safer communities is met, they
added.
The Province has provided
1,000 new front-line officers
to Ontario communities
through the $131-million, five-

with a population of approximately
90,000.
However, Pickering Ward 1 Re-
gional Councillor Maurice Brenner
said he has several questions and con-
cerns over the details of the Seaton
swap.
“It would be nice to get the details
about the areas in question,” he said.
“We know what they swapped for, but
we don’t know what was given up. I
hope they’re not swapping environ-
mentally sensitive for environmentally
sensitive.”
In February, Pickering Council di-
rected city staff to complete a Growth
Management Study in north Pickering.
The study would provide the basis
for an official plan review guiding de-
velopment in the area from the Seaton
lands in the east (Brock Road) to the
York/Durham Town Line in the west,
Hwy. 7 in the north and the C.P.
Belleville Rail line in the south.
Now, Coun. Brenner said to ensure
proper planning processes are fol-
lowed and areas in need of protection
are protected, developers will have to
wait for the study’s completion before
breaking ground on any development.
“It’s my intention to move forward
with the Growth Management Study
for the area and whatever the develop-
ers do will be determined by the devel-
opability of the land outlined in the
study,” he explained. “I would caution
the developers and the Province of On-
tario not to go forward with any devel-
opment plans until we’ve done the
Growth Management Study or we will
put an interim freeze on the land until
the study is done.”
Coun. Brenner said he expects City
staff at the next meeting of the plan-
ning committee on May 13 to outline
the details of how the study will work.
Meanwhile, he said Pickering is not
going to allow a “cookie-cutter ap-
proach” to growth in the north and the
“proper planning process” will be fol-
lowed.
He said the Seaton lands include
sensitive areas such as First Nations
burial grounds, woodlots, marshlands,
and streams, all of which the Growth
Management Study will seek to pro-
tect.
“I hope they don’t think they’re tak-
ing away our right to govern our own
destiny and plan our own future,” he
said. “They must abide by the same
planning approval process as every-
body else.”
Municipal Affairs Ministry
Spokesman Alexandra Gillespie said
former deputy minister Dan Burns has
been given the job of “determining the
methodology” of the swap.
She could not say how much of the
Seaton lands would be given up, but
did say Mr. Burns’ tasks will include
“land valuations” in both Richmond
Hill and Pickering determining what is
“most equitable.”
She added Mr. Crombie and the re-
view board he heads would then “act
as a second verification” for the equi-
tability of the swap.
In an interview Tuesday Mr. Crom-
bie said the “basic principle” of the
swap would be “value for value”,
meaning the Province will be trading
land of equal value instead of just acre
for acre.
He also said the normal planning
process as derived from the provincial
planning act would apply to any land
swapped for in Seaton, meaning the
public and Pickering Council will have
their say on development in the area.
Ms. Gillespie agreed, saying the
Province has no plans to circumvent
the City’s planning process and added
that environmentally sensitive land in
Seaton would be protected.
“We’re going to apply the same
principles to Seaton as we used for the
moraine,” she said. “We will make sure
development occurs (protecting) envi-
ronmentally sensitive areas.”

McBrady 50th anniversary
This photo was taken Aug. 10, 1897 to celebrate the
50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel
McBrady. Mr. McBrady, born at St. John’s Point,
County Donegal, Ireland in June 1818, immigrated to
Canada in the spring of 1837. He married Ellen Brod-
erick (native of Kilkenny, Ireland) in 1847. They set-
tled in the Village of Audley were he remained until
1901. The family homestead was located on the south-
west corner of Audley and Taunton roads, where they
raised 12 children. Of the children, Robert was or-
dained in Rome, Italy, becoming a member of the
Basilian Order. He later taught at Assumption College
in Windsor and then St. Michael’s College in Toronto.
Mary entered the Loretta Abbey and was later known
as Mother Bathilde. James, one of the younger sons,
took over the farming of the homestead. He also
served on Pickering Township council and occupied
the reeve’s chair. He and his family moved to Oshawa
in 1910, where he took over the position of general
agent for the Massey-Harris Company.

A/P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 24, 2002
Proud members of
The election of Ernie Eves as leader and a new cabinet
team has allowed the Tories a chance to rethink and fine-tune
some plans and programs leading up to an election, expected
in 2003. These include a longer look at the privatization of
Hydro One, necessitated by a court ruling preventing its sale;
some extra money in the treasury due to solid economic per-
formance; and a decision by new Education Minister Eliza-
beth Witmer to make this year’s mandatory test of new teach-
ers a practice run instead of the real thing.
After the tough, hard-line approach of the Mike Harris ad-
ministration, the teacher-test backtrack continues to signal
changes in the fledgling Ernie Eves government.
Stunned by a court ruling that prevents the sale of Hydro
One, Mr. Eves now says, “Certainly the Province of Ontario
will abide by the court ruing and obey the law. I am certainly
not against public hearings on the issue.”
It’s hard to understand how a huge government, with high-
priced legal expertise in house and on retainer, can fumble the
ball as badly as the Tories did on the Hydro One privatization
plan. Why would the Province try to scramble to meet a May
1 deadline to sell Hydro One, to produce the largest public of-
fering in Toronto Stock Exchange history (some billions of
dollars in shares would have been up for grabs) and not be
sure the plan would pass judicial muster?
Instead, a small team of three lawyers representing a cou-
ple of unions was able to successfully argue the government
did not have a legal right to sell Hydro One.
The ruling offers Mr. Eves an opening; one he seems eager
to exploit. Many in Ontario are uneasy about having our elec-
tricity infrastructure fall into the hands of private, for-profit
companies. The premier should now hold public hearings. He
can go even further. If Mr. Eves really believes selling Hydro
One is the best deal for Ontario citizens, he can make his case
during the next election.
Finance Minister Janet Ecker has benefited by some ex-
cellent economic news which suggests the budget deficit,
forecast to be in the $3-billion-plus range, could well be one-
fifth that size or less. A little tinkering in finance could reduce
the number further and allow the minister, who will soon be
on her feet in the legislature delivering her budget speech, to
free up funds desperately needed in health and education.
Whether forced by the courts or by a fortunate break in the
economy or because of a decision by a new minister to back
off vows made in the past, the new Eves team seems to have
a sense of what the voters want. The new premier clearly
wants to create his own style and, for now at least, it’s smooth
sailing.

To the editor:
The environment is important.
Right? Most people agree with
this but often it is too difficult to
do anything about it. There are
many things that can be done for
the environment, one of which is
the saving of trees from construc-
tion vehicles in new subdivisions.
I’m not talking about standing
in front of the heavy equipment
or chaining yourself to a tree, but
removing and transplanting trees
to save them.
This is precisely what hap-
pened April 17 in the soon-to-be-
developed Timber Trails in Pick-
ering. The developer, North Star
Homes, gave permission to the
Toronto and Region Conserva-
tion Authority (TRCA) to orga-
nize a tree rescue as long as it
could be done before April 22.
A survey of the property
brought the realization this
would be a very large job with
hundreds of trees located in areas
where they would be destroyed.
The nearest school to the devel-
opment is St. Elizabeth Seton
Catholic School on Strouds Lane.
A rescue mission was soon orga-
nized involving 45 Grade 7 stu-
dents, along with all the members
of the school’s Tree Bee Conser-
vation Club, two teachers, par-
ents, two people from the TRCA
and four members of the Altona
Forest Stewardship Committee.
Using shovels and wheelbar-
rows brought from home and
containers supplied by the
TRCA, the group worked from
8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the
hottest day of the year thus far, to
dig up and replant 210 trees in
and around Altona Forest. These
included white pine, white ash,
dogwood, staghorn sumac and
white cedar.
Thanks to this dedicated
group, and the co-operation of
the developer, there are 210 trees
growing in safe locations that
would not have survived the con-
struction of the new subdivision.
Larry Noonan,
Pickering

I miss show and tell. Some-
thing wonderful happens when
people share with others things
that are personal and special to
them. It’s second nature to us as
children.
When we meet a new friend,
one of the first things we do is
take him home and show him our
stuff. This is my room, this is my
Lego, that’s my mom’s Latin
lover, etc.
It’s our way of exposing our
belly to a stranger, our way of
saying “I want to be your friend,
here’s a glimpse into who I am.”
I can always tell when it’s my
kid’s turn for show and tell at
school as it is generally prefaced
by a mad post-breakfast scram-
ble to find the perfect thing to
take in and talk about.
For any number of neurotic
reasons, we get less and less
eager to do this as we get older.
We let fewer and fewer people
see all of who we are. I think
that’s unfortunate and I think
grown-up show and tell would go
a long way towards drawing us
closer together on this planet.
Imagine slogging into the of-
fice on a dreary Monday morning
only to have the boss announce
cheerily, “All right everybody,
down to the parking lot! Hender-
son here is going to show us his
bass boat!”
Or maybe during one surpris-
ing session you find out mild-
mannered Mary from marketing
can take the eye out of a bull
moose from 500 yards with her
new compound bow. Sorta makes
her a little more interesting does-
n’t it?
As adults, when we meet
someone new we inevitably ask
the same dumb question: “What
kind of work do you do?” As
though our occupations were all
that mattered to us. I much prefer
knowing what makes that person
tick, what they are passionate
about. Show and tell would re-
veal that to us.
And not only would show and
tell illustrate the wondrous vari-
ety of interests people have, it
would also show us so much of
what we share in common.
“Aha!” you might happily ex-
claim, “So Henshaw wears
women’s underwear too!” Or just
imagine the joyous relief upon
discovering you’re not the only
cannibal in the steno pool.
The more we know about peo-
ple, the more we know about the
world, the better we understand.
We see Bob’s prison photos and
immediately comprehend why he
is reluctant to shower after rac-
quetball.
Lillian’s tattoo of Satan not
only explains her penchant for
turtlenecks but also raises her
dating stock considerably. And
maybe we cut Daryl a little more
slack about his breath once we
see his home dentistry kit.
In the time it takes for some
employees to go outside for a
smoke, a place of business could
easily hold a few treasured mo-
ments of showing and telling. I
can think of few time invest-
ments that would yield such mar-
vellous results.
Come on, let’s show and tell all

Re: Gay Oshawa high school
student can’t take boyfriend to
prom.
I just have a couple of ques-
tions for Marc Hall. First, when
you were denied permission
several months ago to take your
boyfriend to the school prom,
why did you not just leave
Monsignor John Pereyma
Catholic School and enrol in
your local public school? That
way, you could have avoided
the problem and all the result-
ing fuss. From what I’ve been
led to believe, the non-Catholic
system will tolerate almost any-
thing, except of course, prayer
and even the mention of God.
Second, since we all have
rights, Mr. Hall, why are you
and your gay supporters deny-
ing these rights to the Catholic
Church, which incorporates the
Catholic school system? Surely
you cannot expect over 2,000
years of Church teachings to be
changed to accommodate your
wish to attend a social event
with your boyfriend — some-
thing that is totally against
Catholic beliefs and values?
Congratulations to educa-
tion director Grant Andrews
and the Durham Catholic Dis-
trict School Board trustees for
having the courage and forti-
tude to proclaim its convic-
tions, loud and clear.

Make
magic
happen
next week
Plenty of ways to
celebrate National
Compost Awareness
Week
Celebrate the benefits of
compost during National
Compost Awareness Week
(NCAW), April 28 to May 4.
Sponsored by the Compost-
ing Council of Canada (CCC),
this year’s theme is ‘make
magic happen’.
To launch the week,
Durham Region is offering a
truckload of its valuable
‘black magic’ April 27 at
Pickering’s Civic Centre park-
ing lot, on The Esplanade, be-
ginning at 8 a.m.
Another giveaway will be
small boxes of seedling trees.
This event also offers Picker-
ing residents the opportunity
to purchase, from a limited
supply, an Earth Machine
composter at the $25 subsi-
dized rate as well as the
chance to recycle household
batteries.
Over in Ajax, the Town is
holding a composter sale, also
on April 27, at its Operations
Centre, 491 MacKenzie Av-
enue beginning at 8 a.m. Earth
Machines will be available for
$27, while Soil Savers will
sell for $30.
During the week, learn
about backyard composting by
visiting a display set up by the
Pickering Waste Reduction
Committee at the Pickering
Recreation Complex, 1867
Valley Farm Rd.
Throughout the growing
season, the CCC reminds gar-
deners to plant a row — grow
a row, which promotes sowing
an extra row of vegetables for
food banks.
John Doleweerd, organizer
of Valley Plentiful Communi-
ty Garden in west Pickering,
pledges to set aside a plot to
grow food for donations.
If you enjoy takeout coffee
(lug-a-mug), Starbucks will
treat your garden by giving
you, upon request, a bag of
spent coffee grounds. On May
1, we all should pay homage
to the unsung hero of the
soil... ‘the earthworm’.
This year in New York,
compost is emerging as the
hero of water conservation as
drought restrictions are al-
ready being imposed.
“Compost is the key to
what we’re doing here,” said
Eric Fleisher, director of horti-
culture at the Battery Park
City Parks Conservancy in
Lower Manhattan.
Mr. Fleisher’s crew had to
remove up to a foot of dust
and debris from the gardens
after the collapse of the World
Trade Center a few blocks
away, and the fallout left be-
hind elevated salt levels, as
well as deposits of calcium
and magnesium.
“But adding compost and
compost tea has been help-
ing,” he reported.
Compost is an excellent ve-
hicle for carrying nutrients to
your soil and plants. Further,
the naturally occurring nutri-
ents in compost are released
slowly at a rate for plant use to
ensure optimum growth.
At Pickering’s municipal
properties engineering divi-
sion, employee Laura Ferreira
regularly takes home to her
backyard composter, coffee
grounds and filters, tea bags,
and any fruit peelings in the
jar located at the staff coffee
station.
This proves any group can
compost what is manageable
within an office area or from a
meeting.
When unwanted organic
matter is disposed of by bio-
logical means (composting),
our plant nutrients are con-
served to the advantage of the
entire ecosystem.
During the past 12 years
the CCC has created a valu-
able network of contacts and
information.

Strict laws
govern police in
releasing names
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM –– The nondescript of-
fice on the main floor of Durham Re-
gional Police headquarters in Oshawa
maintains near anonymity.
Police are deliberately discreet, their
intent to keep a low profile not to cause
unnecessary attention and embarrass-
ment to their reluctant visitors.
Since ‘Christopher’s Law’ came into
effect in Ontario exactly one year next
Wednesday, 129 sexual offenders have
passed through the glass doors leading
into the office of Durham’s Sex Offender
Registry (SOR).
“We know it’s an intrusive procedure
and go out of our way to minimize the in-
trusiveness,” says Detective Tom Hart, in
charge of offender management.
“In a lot of cases offenders are embar-
rassed and we handle it in a professional
way, going out of our way to make it low
key.”
The goal is not to frighten guests
away, he says, given the success of the
provincial registry depends on customer
compliance, albeit sometimes forced.
“The key is compliance, and we cur-
rently have a 100-per cent compliance
rate,” Det. Hart boasts, adding a couple
of offenders who originally refused to
register later changed their minds after
they were threatened with charges.
Under Bill 31, called Christopher’s
Law for 11-year-old Christopher
Stephenson, who was sexually assaulted
and murdered in 1988 by a paroled pe-
dophile, all convicted sexual offenders
living in Ontario are required to register
their addresses with police in their com-
munity.
Failing to register can net a one-year
jail term and a $25,000 fine.
“We’ve had to caution the odd per-
son” about charges, Det. Hart said, but
not one has been charged in Durham Re-
gion with failing to register.
Low-level sex offenders and high-risk
pedophiles alike are required to check in
at their nearest registry office within 15
days of being released from custody,
where they must provide their address
and be photographed.
Their physical features are document-
ed and the information is filed with the
provincial registry, maintained by On-
tario Provincial Police at its Orillia head-
quarters. Roughly 800 sex offenders are
registered in the GTA.
Although still in its infancy, police
say the SOR, which is accessible by
computer to all forces, has already
proven to be a valuable resource in mon-
itoring sex offenders and tracking poten-
tial suspects.
In its first year the SOR has been used
in several local investigations and helped
identify a suspect in a sex assault in Os-
hawa last year, Det. Hart says.
In another case the SOR played a role
in the arrest by police in Winnipeg of an
offender who had earlier relocated from
Durham.
“It has proven to be a very helpful in-
vestigative tool,” Det. Hart says.
Unlike some U.S. jurisdictions where of-
fenders’ names and photographs are
posted by law enforcement agencies on
the Internet, strict confidentiality rules
govern Ontario’s SOR, which is not ac-
cessible to members of the public.
The highly-charged issue of public
disclosure stirred local controversy last
month after newspaper reports about a
pair of high-risk sex offenders living on
Park Crescent in Pickering.
Local residents and politicians were
outraged police officials had not alerted
the community, nor area schools in par-
ticular, to the pair’s presence.
A group calling itself Concerned
Community Working Group, formed by
school community council members,
municipal politicians, neighbourhood as-
sociations and concerned citizens, de-
manded police share information about
any other high-risk offenders living in
their neighbourhood. And Pickering City
Council called on police to release the
names of registered sex offenders under
court order to stay away from public fa-
cilities.
“The public has the right to know who
is at risk in the neighbourhood,” said
Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice
Brenner.
“It’s imperative our staff have the in-
formation to notify police if anyone of
them attend (a City-owned facility such
as pool, library or park),” he said.
“It’s not acceptable to learn about the
presence of sex offenders through the
media... An informed community is a
safe community.”
For police, however, the issue is far
from simple.
Under the Police Services Act, police
chiefs have the power to publicly release
personal information about an offender
they reasonably believe poses a “signifi-
cant risk of harm” to the community, if
certain guidelines are met.
And, while most forces in Greater
Toronto occasionally employ this strate-
gy as a last resort, it has seldom, if ever,
been utilized by Durham Region police
while under the watch of Chief
McAlpine since 1997. Chief McAlpine,
who says he was one of the first munici-
pal chiefs in Ontario to release the name
of a sex offender while he was chief of
the Peterborough force in the early
1990s, says law enforcement agencies
are handcuffed by strict privacy rules
when dealing with public notification.
“Where I feel the risk is high and the
legislative requirements are met, we will
make the notification,” the chief says.
However, he says the public myth ex-
ists that police can release names of
high-risk offenders any time they choose.
“The (belief) that police can disclose
when they want isn’t really true. People
want to know if there is a pedophile on
their street. But the limits are broad
enough that we can’t give them out
whenever we want,” the chief says.
“If we could... I probably would.”
In many cases, Chief McAlpine says,
there is nothing to be gained by an alert
other than instilling fear in the communi-
ty. The vast majority of sexual assaults
are perpetrated by people who are known
to the victim, such as a relative, he notes.
The number of “stranger-assaults” in
Durham is low.
“Most of the time it doesn’t help
much to know (of an offender’s ad-
dress)... if all you are creating is nothing
but fear and apprehension then what’s
the value (of notification)? Presumably,
the value is the offender moves, which is
generally what the community wants,”
Chief McAlpine says. However, passing
the problem to another neighbourhood,
while relieving one community’s con-
cerns, only passes on the problem to an-
other town.
Then there is a risk of vigilante justice
- in Pickering some residents had placed
‘surveillance’ on the offender’s house
and there were veiled threats - along with
the risk of driving the offender under-
ground, “forcing them from community
to community,” escaping supervision of
police or parole officers.
There is also a school of thought in
police and treatment circles stress creat-
ed by a public release increases the
chances of an individual reoffending.
Instead of placing the entire responsibil-
ity of public notification on police chiefs,
Chief McAlpine would like to see the
system changed so that correctional offi-
cials and parole boards bear the burden
of disclosure.
Since they have the most current
knowledge of an offender and are re-
sponsible for release, they are best
equipped to make the decision, he says.
“The bottom line is these (sex offend-
ers) make up a portion of society that in
this country we are unwilling to lock up
forever, rightly or wrongly. There are lots
of them coming out of prison, they are
here and it’s a societal issue.”
Keeping
tabs on sex
offenders
The rights of released sex offenders and the public’s right to safety make for
a heated debate in many communities.

Parents, students fear double cohort
Range of views shared at
Durham Region forum for
Grade 12 students
BY KATHERINE ILCZYNSKI
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM —It’s the time of year
when OAC students are beginning to
receive offers of admission from uni-
versities and colleges for the upcoming
fall term.
But twice as many students are ex-
pected to graduate next year and seek a
spot in a post-secondary institution due
to the double cohort, which will see the
last crop of OAC students graduate
along with those in Grade 12. Ontario
is the last province to shorten the high
school year from five to four years.
Double cohort was the topic of dis-
cussion at an open forum held recently
at the McLaughlin Library Auditorium
in Oshawa.
Former associate director of admis-
sions at York University, Dyanne Gib-
son, was on hand to answer questions
and help ease the tensions of parents
and students affected by the double co-
hort.
“Look outside the box,” she ad-
vised, adding universities across the
country should be considered when ap-
plying.
“Universities in Atlantic Canada
have been trying to amalgamate be-
cause of the vacancies,” she noted.
Many parents are already reluctant
to let their children move a few hours
away to go to school. Their hesitation
grows because their children will be
one year younger than in recent years,
Ms. Gibson noted.
However, she pointed out students
in other provinces have just graduated
Grade 12 themselves.
“What about the cost of sending my
child out-of-province?” one parent
asked.
Ms. Gibson reassured the parents
that tuition and residence in other parts
of the country is similar to Ontario.
“What really adds up are the travel
costs,” she said.
Some universities even go so far as
to offer out-of-province students sav-
ings on tuition because they need the
students to fill the spots. Otherwise,
programs will shut down, such as
Lakehead University’s music program,
Ms. Gibson noted.
“Some of the best programs are in
Ontario,” one parent pointed out.
“Why would we want our children to
go elsewhere?”
Ms. Gibson agreed, adding schools
that will get hit the hardest with the
double cohort are those that offer spe-
cialized programs.
Universities will no longer be able
to provide the same facilities, instruc-
tion and hands-on learning methods
because of the influx of students, she
said.
“Universities are already under fi-
nancial pressure. They need to spend
more money to improve their programs
as it is,” Ms. Gibson said. She told the
parents and students that the federal
government has agreed to pay each
Ontario university $1 million for each
of the next nine years to ease the strain
and help create more space.
Along with the financial strains,
parents noted double-cohort students
are under academic pressure as well.
“My daughter is competing with
OAC students who have had one extra
year to complete the same courses,”
one mother said.
“How will universities decide be-
tween OAC and Grade 12 marks?” she
asked.
“Each university will establish their
own standards in order to distinguish
between the two. Each university is
different,” Ms. Gibson replied.
Regardless of when a student is ap-
plying to university, everyone should
do a little research, she advised.
“Research what you want to do in
life, not just what you want to do for
four years,” Ms. Gibson advised.
“The decision made now is just the
start.”
Dyanne Gibson, former associate director of admissions at York University,
makes a point during a public forum to discuss the so-called double-cohort of
students in Grade 12 and 13 that will graduate at the same time next year.

Centre averages almost
5.5 points a game
for high school hockey club
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —A 100-goal season tends
to make people stand up and take notice.
St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Mon-
archs’ all-star centre Ashley Riggs is coming
off a Gretzky-like performance this past sea-
son, likely not to be rivalled in girls’ high
school hockey for some time to come.
Riggs’s offensive juggernaut has a number
of U.S. college recruiters already falling over
themselves to get the 17-year-old hockey phe-
nomenon’s attention in hopes she’ll don their
uniform in one year’s time when she gradu-
ates from the Pickering school.
Currently, the Grade 11 student has been
deluged with information by a number of U.S.
colleges, including such high-profile schools
as Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Princeton,
Minnesota, Brown and Harvard, to name a
few.
The funny thing is, under collegiate sport-
ing rules, these recruiters are not allowed to
contact her until her graduating year. For now,
they’re only able to drop off information, hop-
ing to persuade her to skate with their pro-
grams down the road.
“Sometimes I get Fed-Ex coming to my
door with deliveries from U.S. universities,”
she admitted.
The level of interest is commensurate with
the array of skills Riggs brings to the ice. The
Monarchs’ all-star centre led all Ontario high
school scorers with a whopping 180 points,
coming from 100 goals and 80 assists last sea-
son. In one game in particular, against the
school’s Whites
Road rivals from
Dunbarton High
School, Riggs
potted seven
goals.
She led the
Monarchs to an
outstanding 31-
1-1 overall
record, including
another Lake
Ontario Sec-
ondary School
Athletics
(LOSSA) title
and a second
straight appear-
ance at the On-
tario Federation
of School Ath-
letic Associa-
tions (OFSAA)
championships.
Despite
knocking off
their nemesis
and defending
OFSAA cham-
pion — Mount
Carmel from
Mississauga —
in the semifinal
of OFSAA in
Peterborough in
March, the num-
ber-one seeded
St. Mary girls
couldn’t finish
the job. The
Monarchs
dropped a heart-
breaking 5-2 de-
cision to the St.
Thomas
Aquinas Flames
from London,
settling for sil-
ver for the sec-
ond consecutive
year.
“It was disap-
pointing,” noted
Riggs. “It was
the second year
in a row we got
silver, so, yeah,
it was a bit dis-
appointing.”
On a more
positive note,
Riggs believes
the Monarchs
are poised to
make a strong
run at gold next
year, as the club
loses only two
players to gradu-
ation, leaving a
solid nucleus of
players.
“I think our
team will be
strong next sea-
son,” she ex-
plained.
Currently, the diminutive forward is trying
out for two intermediate women’s teams in
the area. She’s laced ‘em up with the Durham
West Lightning intermediates and the
Markham-Stouffville Stars, both of which
play in the North Metro Girls’ Hockey
League’s intermediate division.
Although Riggs has enjoyed the tryout
process with both clubs, she noted she’s lean-
ing toward playing for the Durham West
squad.
Riggs played her first season at the inter-
mediate women’s level for the Toronto Sting
this past year. She led the team in scoring,
reaching the 20-goal plateau. The Sting fin-
ished fourth in the North Metro Girls’ Hock-
ey league standings and went on to enjoy a
strong finish to the season at the Ontario
Women’s Hockey Association provincial
championships earlier this month. The Sting
finished second to Mississauga after losing 1-
0 in the gold-medal contest. The winning goal
came a mere 23 seconds from the end of reg-
ulation time.
Because of a large turnover expected in the
Sting’s roster in the off-season, Riggs has
elected to move on next season.
Most of her skills, explained Riggs, were
honed the hard way, through 10 years in boys’
hockey. Through most of those seasons, she
played at the elite ‘AAA’level, one of the few
females to stick at that level. She said she had
the skills to continue playing the boys’ game,
but admitted her male opponents were be-
coming too big as they moved into the upper
age groups.
With female hockey, she tested her skills at
the highest level two years ago with the now-
defunct Toronto Sting of the National
Women’s Hockey League (NWHL). Howev-
er, she learned playing with a NWHL squad
would affect her high school eligibility.
She also played two years ago for one of
two Ontario entries at the national under-18
women’s tournament in Trois-Rivieres, Que.
There, as the youngest member of the team at
15, she led Ontario ‘Blue’in scoring, with the
team finishing fourth overall.
Riggs is hoping for a return engagement
with an Ontario under-18 women’s team at
the nationals next year.
Riggs added her ultimate goal is the na-
tional program and an upcoming winter
Olympics.
“For sure, one of my main goals is to play
on the Canadian women’s team,” she said.

If there is one car part that is bound to be
ignored by car owners, it would have to be
the spare tire. That’s probably due to the
“out of sight, out of mind” mentality that
many of us have.
But your spare tire is there for an important
reason and, like it or not, you may eventually
need it. So isn’t it worth making sure that it will
be ready when the time comes?
Along with your four other tires, you should
regularly check the air pressure in your spare
tire (in case you’re wondering, it’s probably
hiding under the lining in your trunk).
Most new cars today come equipped with a
smaller spare tire that weighs less and takes up
less space. In fact, these tires should be
considered more as an “emergency tire” than a
“spare tire.” That’s because they are not built to
travel long distances or drive at high speeds.
Your best bet is to check your owner’s manual
to fully understand its capability before you
need to use it.
On the other had, most SUVs come with a
full sized spare tire attached to the back of the
truck, so checking its air pressure level is easy.
Unfortunately, if you own a pickup, your spare
tire is well hidden under the body of the truck.
This means you’ll have to lower the spare in
order to check its air pressure. It’s worth the
effort, however, despite the extra hassle. What’s
more, you should also regularly check the
mechanism that holds the tire securely in place.
So make it a habit to regularly check the air
pressure levels of all five of your tires. Don’t
wait until it is too late!

outstanding season on the ice.
She advanced to the all-

placed sixth against the best
young skaters in the province.
Leslie earned her chance to
perform at the provincials after a
second-place finish at Central
Ontario Section Challenge. All
four sections in Ontario sent
skaters to the challenge event
and Leslie had to finish in the
top three in her section to
advance.
She was also one of the club’s
‘spirit’ winners this season.

Wang’s last-minute goal
the difference for Warriors
in championship final
AJAX —It took some last-minute heroics
for the Ajax Warriors Menkes Developments
girls’ under-12 indoor soccer team to capture
the North York Hearts Indoor Soccer Cup cham-
pionship recently.
With 20 seconds remaining in regulation
time, Warriors’ defender Jessica Leroux passed
the ball to striker Natasha Grouios, whose scor-
ing attempt was blocked by the Vaughan Azzur-
ri goalkeeper.
Rachel Wang corralled the rebound, howev-
er, beat a Vaughan defender and struck her shot
to the top right corner with 11 seconds remain-
ing for a 1-0 victory in the final.
It was a hard-fought contest, with both Ajax
and Vaughan showing finesse and poise. Vaugh-
an controlled the tempo in the first half, but
Warriors’striker Sarah Taylor had the best scor-
ing chance when her low shot just missed the
corner.
In the second half, Tina Romagnuolo
thought she had put Ajax on the board, but her
hard shot caught the post.
In the semifinal against the Markham Light-
ning, Romagnuolo supplied the last-minute ex-
citement to tie the game 1-1 and send it to a
shootout. Romagnuolo headed a pass from
Wang into the corner of the net.
Ajax had plenty of scoring chances, hitting
the post and the crossbar during the game. But,
it was Romagnuolo, Wang, Jade Jingco and
Jade West who scored in the shootout and
clutch saves by Taylor Childs that secured the
4-3 victory.
Ajax defeated Aurora 1-0 and North Missis-
sauga 4-0 in the opening rounds.
Romagnuolo scored the lone marker against
a tough Aurora team. Jenna Read scored twice,
West and Grouios once each in the North Mis-
sissauga matchup.
Defence was a key factor throughout the
tournament and defenders Read, Jingco, Ler-
oux, Amanda Morris, Jessica Gratto, Kayla
Desouza and Joselyn Henning were stalwart in
their play. Childs played with confidence.
Several members of the Ajax Warriors’
under-12 girls’ indoor squad are Pickering resi-
dents.
Edmond Wang and Lino Romagnuolo coach
the team. Julie Wang is the team manager.

Of all the Luck
DURHAM –– Stephanie Luck, a student at O’Neill Collegiate and Vocational Institute concentrates on her
music during a rehearsal of the Durham District School Board’s Honour Band in preparation for a concert
taking place tonight at Eastdale Collegiate in Oshawa. The band is made up of the five of the best musicians
from every public board high school in Durham.
Women’s club shows off latest fashions
PICKERING —Spring time is

than with a fashion show?
The Ajax-Pickering Christian
Women’s Club invites everyone to at-
tend its spring fashion show, Thurs-
day, April 25.
The event starts at 7 p.m. and is at
Gallantry’s Banquet Room in the

Dancing to a different drum
Pickering woman teaches
finer points of belly dancing
BY SARAH TEPER
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —Belly dancing can
be traced back to Egypt when Cleopa-
tra walked the Earth.
“It is the first and oldest dance,”
said June Castanha, owner of Zahra’s
School of Middle Eastern Dance in
Pickering.
The dance was originally called
‘danse Oriental’and was performed as
a birthing dance, particularly in Egypt,
she said.
Women would dance around the
mother-to-be, making pushing motions
to encourage her to deliver.
“Eventually it became very West-
ernized. The Americans came in and
took it back (to America) and named it
belly dancing,” she said, adding a
number of dance moves, such as the
hip swaying in hula dancing and the
head snapping in Indian dancing, were
derived from it.
Ms. Castanha, whose family is from
Kenya, has been dancing for 20 years
and teaching for 10.
She became interested in the dance
after dressing up in a Halloween cos-
tume.
“It piqued my interest and I started
to learn about it,” said Ms. Castanha,
who teaches 118 students in the base-
ment of her parents’ house. “It’s great
fun and exercise. I love the dancing
and to watch and teach the girls.”
Student Ria Bartok has been belly
dancing for three-and-a-half years.
“I was looking for something fun to
do when my daughter started school,”
she said, adding her daughter now
takes lessons.
Ms. Castanha said women choose
to belly dance because they are look-
ing for something more spiritual.
“It’s very empowering for women,”
she said. “You can learn about your
sensuality and be sensual, but not
tacky. It’s also very good for your self-
confidence.”
Belly dancing uses actions that
come naturally to the female form. It
does not just consist of rolls, and hip
and leg movements. Swords, veils,
candles, zills (finger cymbals) and
canes are also incorporated into the
dance.
With belly dancing more of the
inner beauty comes out, Ms. Castanha
said.
“It makes you feel very pretty and
sexy,” she said.
Student Ria Bartok practices her
moves during a recent lesson in the
‘first and oldest dance’discipline.

Entertainment in brief
April 24, 2002
Check out ‘The Taste
of Others’ in Durham
DURHAM ––‘The Taste of Oth-
ers,’ a French film written and direct-
ed by Agnes Jaoui, is set to hit
screens in Oshawa.
There are characters out there
other movies tend to forget about,
but Jaoui bases her story on these
ironic individuals. Characters like
great actresses who are struggling,
rich women lacking a sense of style,
and sexy barmaids who can’t seem
to find love.
Most affectingly, there is a Babbit
with a moustache, played by Jean-
Pierre Bacri, who patronizes the arts
because he wants cultural enlighten-
ment, but finds ways to be anything
but kind.
‘The Taste of Others’ is a part of
the Cinefest Durham 2002 film line-
up and will be showing at the Fa-
mous Players theatre in the Oshawa
Centre on Thursday, April 25 at 7
p.m. Tickets are $6 at the door, and
proceeds go to help the Oshawa
Public Library System.

hawa.

Legion, Branch 43, the nostalgic af-
ternoon of music begins at 1 p.m.
and runs to 4 p.m. Tickets are $7.50
each. RCL Branch 43 is located at

tion, call 905-723-9211.

DURHAM ––Spring is in the air
along with the music of
Mendelssohn, Bach and the Durham
Youth Orchestra.
Under the direction of John
Beaton, the Orchestra’s April 27

olin soloist Erika Raum. Selections

minor by Felix Mendelssohn and J.S.

The musical evening begins at
7:30 p.m. at the Salvation Army Tem-
ple, 570 Thornton Rd. N., Oshawa.

Artists weigh in
on visions of Camp X
DURHAM ––An examination of
intriguing and mysterious local histo-
ry has found its way to the Robert
McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa in the
form of a new exhibition, ‘Finding
Camp X: Contemporary Considera-
tions of an Enigma.’
Four artists –– Steven Frank of
Oshawa, Sean McQuay from Whitby,
Anitra Hamilton and Nina Levitt, both
from Toronto –– have shed some
imaginative light on this secret part
of Durham Region’s past.
The Second World War school
for spies and communications estab-
lishment was shrouded in secrecy.
Its location on a stretch of Lake On-
tario farmland straddling what today
is the border between Whitby and
Oshawa was unknown even to area
residents.
One of the intelligence officers to
train there was James Bond creator
Ian Fleming and the covert operation
was run by Sir William Stephenson,
code-named ‘Intrepid.’
The ‘Finding Camp X’ exhibit is
on now at the gallery and will run
until June 16.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Friday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thurs-
day, and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday
and Sunday.
Admission is free. The Robert
McLaughlin Gallery is located at 72
Queen St., Civic Centre, Oshawa.

GREEN WITH ENVY
Former Augusta Chronicle colum-
nist Mike Berardino,now a South
Florida Sun-Sentinel reporter, wore a
green jacket resembling those worn by
Augusta National members and toured
the course during the second round of
the Masters. He then wrote a story
about the interesting reaction he
received.
Members wear the kelly green jack-
ets so they can easily be recognized by
patrons who might need information.
Berardino’s didn’t have a club emblem
on the front, and he paid only $2.02 for
the jacket at a Goodwill store.
“Goodwill green,” he described the
color. Among other things, one fan
asked him for the time, and one
Pinkerton security guard asked, “How
are you, sir?” “I’m fine, son,” the writer
replied.

THREADS
Oddly, world
No. 2 Phil
Mickelson played
the Masters without
an apparel deal or a
logo on his shirt. He
chose not to renew
with Hugo Boss when their contract
expired at year’s end. “He wants to stay
blank until the right relationship comes
along,” said his manager,Steve Loy.
… Speaking of attire,Paul Azinger
honored his late friend Payne Stewart
during the Masters’Par 3 contest by
wearing a tie featuring a golfer in
knickers.
PRESIDENTIAL PLUNGE
Reed Mackenzie,president of the
U.S. Golf Association and a rules offi-
cial at the Masters, suffered an embar-
rassing slip during the tournament’s
rain-plagued second round. “I fell on
my butt,” Mackenzie said of the inci-
dent near the 13th green.
Wor se yet,Vijay Singh was about
to hit his second shot into the green.
“The other two
players had laid
up,” Mackenzie
said, “but Vijay
was going for it.
There I was,
prone on the
ground, and the
ball was in the
air. It landed
about 10 yards away from me.”
TAP-INS AND LIP-OUTS
Asked if he had any superstitions he
might follow at Augusta, like tipping
the same clubhouse attendant,David
Duval said, “Tipping? They allow tip-
ping here? Wow, I’m in trouble.”
ased on an informal, unscientif-
ic poll of 22 former major
championship winners ages 37
to 55 at the Masters, the proposed
Major Champions Tour might
be hard pressed to come up
with the number of commit-
ments that organizers believe
they need to move forward
next year.
Commitment letters were
to have been mailed to eligi-
ble players on April 15. The
Major Champions Tour has
said it needs at least 20 com-
mitments out of a possible
pool of about 40 players to proceed
with seven tournaments next year.
Players and/or their managers were
asked if the candidates would sign the
commitment letter and give up PGA
Tour membership. The results: Two
said yes, 12 said no and eight said they
were undecided.
The breakdown:
Yes:Fred Couples and Seve
Ballesteros.
No:Hal Sutton, Lanny Wadkins,
Tom Watson, Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw,
John Daly, Tom Lehman, Mark
Brooks, Davis Love III, Curtis Strange,
Vijay Singh and Fuzzy Zoeller.
Undecided:Nick Faldo, Sandy
Lyle, Nick Price, Greg
Norman, Jerry Pate, Paul
Azinger, Bernhard Langer and
Mark O’Meara.
A majority of players
queried said they thought the
Major Champions Tour idea
was a good one, but that it
wouldn’t be prudent to give up
PGA Tour membership.
Several said they were con-
cerned about hurting the PGA
Tour and Senior PGA Tour. Also, play-
ers want to make sure that resigning
Tour membership would not preclude
them from rejoining whenever they’d
like. Some players expressed disap-
pointment that the PGA Tour is sup-
posedly “their” tour, but that strict rules
prohibit them from sampling the Major
Champions Tour.
The comments:
■“It’s a good idea,” Ballesteros
said. “It would be very interesting for
TV and for the audience. I would be
happy to play 12 to 15 tournaments.”
■“I’m very close to signing, but I
don’t have all the information,” said
Lyle, who has had trouble getting
sponsor exemptions into PGA Tour
events. “It looks quite attractive. If they
can guarantee tournaments the next
five years, I’d like to give it a go.”
■“Sure it interests me for the next
3 to 4 years,” Price said. “It’s certainly
something I’ll look at.”
■Faldo said he and his manager
had previously discussed a similar con-
cept for past major winners and that he
would consider this one.
■“It’s a wonderful opportunity, but
I don’t want to do anything that would
be harmful to the Tour or Senior Tour,”
Pate said.
■“It doesn’t make sense for guys
my age because it’s hard to give up
Tour membership,” said Wadkins, 52.
Asked how many players likely will
sign up, Sutton, a Tour Policy Board
member, said, “None, if the players are
smart. It would hurt the PGA Tour and
really hurt the Senior Tour and cut out
too many deserving people.”

Distributed by Knight Ridder/Tribune
Couples DAVID CANNON/GETTY IMAGESMickelson
Singh
arid Guedra, an Algerian club
professional who is a swing con-
sultant to the silky Vijay Singh,
eyed the tall leaderboard that
stands left of the 17th fairway at
Georgia’s Augusta National on
April 14, staring in disbelief at all the
over-par numbers.
That Sunday afternoon, Guedra
said, in broken English, “I don’t
understand how all of them … their
day doesn’t work.”
That pretty much summed up a
disappointing final round for anyone
seeking a little drama at a magical
theater called the Masters, a place that
had delivered in spades for 65 years.
Retief Goosen, Singh, Ernie Els, Phil
Mickelson, Sergio Garcia — all
world-class players, all poised to make
a historic Sunday charge at co-leader
Tiger Woods that would thrust them into
the rich lore that is Augusta National.
Charging the way Arnold
Palmer charged to the third of his
four titles in 1962. Emerging the
way Gary Player emerged from
nowhere by shooting 64 to win
in 1978. Waking the masses the
way Jack Nicklaus, supposedly
past his prime at 46, awakened
the familiar Augusta National
roars in 1986, stirring golf’s most
famous cathedral by blistering the
second nine in 30 strokes for his
sixth green jacket.
This time, the stage seemed set
for something special. Goosen, the 54-hole
co-leader and U.S. Open champion, is
arguably the hottest guy in the game.
Mickelson left late Saturday knowing a low
final round was there to be seized. As he left
Sunday morning, Els confident-
ly told family and friends,
“OK, time for me to shoot
64. I’ll be back.”
If only that were so
easy on a course that, for
all its marvelous beau-
ty, can be one nasty,
wicked witch.
Instead, for all
these so-called
stars, pretenders
to Woods’throne,
their “day didn’t work.” Expecting a five-star clas-
sic like “Citizen Kane,” we instead got “Ishtar.”
Shame on us all. We should know better. The
man they all were chasing is the hardest guy to run
down since The Fugitive. In simplest terms, every
professional card-carrying member in golf these
days is Wyle E. Coyote. And guess who plays the
Roadrunner?
Catch a Tiger. Right. There he goes again.
Beep-beep. Zoooooooooooooooom.
“It’s difficult,” says Irishman Padraig
Harrington, who tied for fifth, six shots behind the
three-time Masters champion. “He’s certainly at a
different level than the rest of us. Either we need to
raise our games or he has to come back down to us
on a given week.”
Ti ger Woods, back down? Sorry, but reverse is
a gear he doesn’t possess.
“He only has to worry about himself,”
Harrington said. “He’s in the lucky position to
know that if he looks after himself, he’s going to be
the winner.”
Augusta National can take only part of the
credit for transforming the final round into a Three
Stooges festival. Woods, who may win so many
Masters they’ll one day have to hold the
Champions Dinner in a corner booth, also deserves
a good deal of credit. Players chase him as if pursu-
ing an indestructible bionic man, knowing they
must be precise and perfect to even have a chance.
And we all know golf is not a game of perfection,
especially on a minefield like Augusta National.
Golf is an individual game, so all these mis-
takes were self-imposed. Or were they? Woods is
the intimidator the others cannot shake from atop
the leaderboard, and they cannot free their minds of
his presence. It is akin to sitting at a blackjack
table, knowing that hitting on 16 is the only way to
beat the red-hot dealer. And Woods
is the dealer, sitting pretty on 21,
smiling widely as he yanks your
heart from your chest and rakes in
all your chips.
“You can beat Tiger,” mental
coach Jos Vanstiphout tells his play-
ers, a stable that includes Goosen,
Els and Thomas Björn, “but you
cannot be Tiger.”
Adds Mickelson, who birdied
his first two holes, bogeyed his next
two, played solidly but never really
threatened: “The thing about Tiger
is that he’s the only leader that you don’t have the
hope he’ll falter. When other guys are up there, you
know that if you can just stay around, there is a
good chance they might come back two or three
shots.
“Tiger doesn’t seem to do that.”
The result? Tiger keeps forging ahead, and his
opponents take high risks in hopes of reeling in
birdies on courses that reward patience over brava-
do. Ask Els. Ask Singh. Ask any of the others
Woods has dusted off in his march through golf’s
Fab Four.
Woods has won seven of his 21 majors starts as
a pro, the kind of high-hitting average (.333) that
won’t only get him into the World Golf Hall of
Fame, but into Cooperstown, N.Y., as well. At 26,
he is more than a year younger than Nicklaus when
Nicklaus captured his seventh major (the ’67 U.S.
Open), and has four years to commandeer No. 8 in
order to stay ahead of Jack’s pace to 18, the ulti-
mate benchmark Woods covets. Forgive him if he’s
already at home counting the days to Bethpage
State Park and the U.S. Open, which begins June
13.
On what could have been a special day in
Augusta, Woods once again relegated the rest of a
starry field to playing for the “B” Flight champi-
onship. Goosen sheepishly accepted that honor, and
later joked to an official that as Masters runner-up,
maybe he should get a pair of green pants.
Funny, but on that Sunday at the National,
everyone but the champion looked as if they
weren’t wearing any at all.
