Home My WebLink AboutNA2002_05_15BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer AJAX — The fourth floor of the east wing of the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hos- pital will soon be the source of the sounds of fun, frolic and kids being, well, kids. They may not be the usual sounds you hear at a hospital, but the new unit replacing am- bulatory care on the fourth floor is not all that usual either. The space is being used for a new child health unit, a place where the hospital can ease children into what they often find can be a scary experience. “The beauty of the child health unit is that we can con- solidate a number of child ser- vices into one area,” explained Linda Young, program general manager for regional pediatrics at both Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering and the Centenary site in Scarborough. “It’s child-friendly.” More than $200,000 in ren- ovations will allow the hospital AT A GLANCE Pickering Village is on fire Monday AJAX — The Victoria Day long weekend is just about upon us so what better way to end the holiday then with fireworks? Pickering Village United Church is holding its fourth annual neighbourhood family fireworks evening Monday, May 20 at 9 p.m. in the Ajax church’s parking lot at 300 Church St. N. There is no cost to watch the fireworks and refreshments are available. Fun and games at Valley Farm PICKERING — Everyone in the community is welcome to come out tomorrow and join the fun.

RIDE catches 441 in weekend traffic blitz DURHAM –– Police snared 441 speeders during a traffic blitz last week across Durham Region and took two suspected impaired drivers off the street. Between May 6-10 officers in Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Whit- by, Oshawa and north Durham handed out a combined total of 481 tickets as part of the force’s traffic enforcement campaign. Meanwhile, weekend RIDE spotchecks set up in Oshawa, Whitby, Courtice and Port Perry saw 2,613 vehicles stopped and 21 roadside breath tests given. Two people were arrested for drinking and driving while another two motorists received 12-hour suspensions for blowing a “warn,” police said. One person was charged with possessing a controlled sub- stance.

GROEN/ News Advertiser photo A Durham Regional Police officer leads Cosmo Joseph Jacobson into court Monday morn- ing. Mr. Jacobson and Sean Anthony Hall are charged in the murder of former Metro East Trade Centre employee, Roy Jones. See NEW page 4 Hearing starts in murder case BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM — Court secu- rity was tight as a preliminary hearing began in the case of two men accused of murdering Crown witness Roy Jones, of Ajax. Cosmo Joseph Jacobson, aka Avi Mundy, and Sean An- thony Hall, both 26, are charged with first-degree mur- der and conspiracy to commit murder in the slaying of the se- curity guard at Pickering’s Metro East Trade Centre. Mr. Jones, 28, was walking home the night of Feb. 4, 2001 when he was ambushed out- side his Twilley Lane resi- dence, Durham Regional Po- lice said. He was chased onto Picker- ing Beach Road, where he was shot to death. It was reported at that time the killing took place three days before Mr. Jones was scheduled to testify in Oshawa court as a prosecution witness at a preliminary hearing in- volving home invasion charges against Mr. Jacobson. Mr. Jacobson, of Pickering, and Mr. Hall, formerly of Pickering, also are jointly charged in the June 2000 home invasion on Major Oaks Drive with break-and-enter, robbery, forcible confinement, wearing a mask and use of a firearm during the commission of an offence. Both men also are charged with a 1999 street robbery in Toronto. Further, Mr. Hall faces one count of perjury, accused of giving false evidence at the preliminary hearing in April 2001 for Mr. Jacobson, while Mr. Jacobson is charged with attempt to obstruct justice by intimidating a witness. The pair was arrested six months after Mr. Jones was gunned down, following a six- month investigation by Durham homicide detectives. Their preliminary hearing into all the charges began Monday in Ontario Court of Justice in Oshawa. Prosecutors Paul Murray and Jinwon Kim plan to call 45 witnesses during the hear- ing, expected to take six weeks, held in front of Judge Ron Richards. Security has been tighter than usual as police officers search with a metal detector members of the public enter- ing the courtroom. Among those observing the proceedings each day has been Carmen Jones, who last May made an emotional public ap- peal to witnesses in her son’s slaying to come forward to po- lice. Counsel Doug Usher is de- fending Mr. Jacobson, Paul Burstein is representing Mr. Hall. The evidence heard at the hearing is subject to a publica- tion ban.

Roy Jones killed outside his home in February 2001 Specialized child care ‘just down the street’ Mayors get positive reaction Energy minister welcomes nuclear waste input BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––Nuclear com- munities could have a say in the long-term storage of nuclear waste despite being shut out of legislation late last year. In a meeting with mayors from Clarington, Pickering and Kincardine, May 10, Energy Minister Herb Dhaliwal gave the municipalities some assur- ances their concerns would be addressed, says Clarington Mayor John Mutton. Specifically, the minister said the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities (CANHC) could have a member on the board of directors of the Waste Management Organiza- tion (WMO), the mayor says. The WMO will be the body de- termining the long-term fate of nuclear waste from generating stations including those in Pick- ering and Clarington after a steering committee makes a re- port on its findings, to the feder- al government, a couple of years from now. The CANHC is a fledgling organization whose members include five municipalities - in- cluding Pickering and Claring- ton - hosting nuclear reactors in their communities. “I feel a lot more comfort- able about the process,” says Mayor Mutton who raised seri- ous concerns about the legisla- tion when it was proceeding through the House of Commons last fall. Bill C-27 created the process to find a final resting place for the nuclear waste, in- cluding spent fuel bundles. The steering committee will investigate three options for Ajax man arrested in Pickering chase DURHAM ––A 51- year-old Ajax man and two Oshawa teenagers have been charged following a pair of separate police pur- suits in the region. The first chase began in Pickering just before 11 p.m. Monday after a mo- torist called Durham Re- gional Police to report a suspected impaired driver heading west on Kingston Road at Liverpool Road. The suspect vehicle, a GMC pickup, was spotted by a patrol officer a few minutes later near Whites Road, and the driver refused to stop, police said. The pickup was chased westbound at speeds be- tween 60-80 km/h and forced to stopped at Port Union Road in a “rolling” roadblock, police said. An officer had to smash out a window to forcibly re- move the driver. James Louis Fox, of Hul- ley Crescent, has been charged with impaired dri- ving, dangerous driving, flight from police and ob- struct justice. Meanwhile, in Oshawa, a 1982 Pontiac with stolen licence plates fled police on Oxford Street and was pur- sued through city streets at speeds reaching 90 km/h, police said. Again, police cruisers were used to form a moving See THREE page 2 WAYNE ARTHURS ‘We expressed our interest to be actively involved’.See FIRST page 4 BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — Durham’s Catholic school board faces “some challenges in our budget” despite Friday’s education fund- ing announcement, says Grant Andrews. “The concern I have is the in- terpretation of the announce- ment,” said the Durham Catholic District School Board education director, at Monday’s board meeting. Education Minister Elizabeth Witmer, in a press release, stated funding for school boards in the coming school year would rise to $14.21 billion, an increase of 2.5 per cent over the current year. Mr. Andrews questioned the 2.5-per cent figure, noting there are components within that num- ber “that don’t reflect an in- crease” over last year’s funding to boards. As an example, Mr. Andrews said the $23 million for student transportation is “the same funds that were provided in 2000/2001 to recognize the increased cost of fuel” and again in the current school year. “It’s not really any more money than we’ve been getting the last two years.” And he noted “a considerable portion” of the 2.5 per cent, $86 million, is funding based on en- rolment growth and thus would have been provided as a matter of course. He said last year the board used a considerable amount of its reserve money to balance the budget, and the board is on the hook for a full year of salary in- creases after negotiated agree- ments with employee groups that did not come into effect until part-way through the year. He noted many observers feared there would be no more education money from the Province for this coming year, maybe even less, as a result of the struggling economy. “Compared to zero, 2.5 per cent sounds pretty good,” said Mr. Andrews, adding the actual number for boards is around 1.5 per cent. He said the board would like to see an increase in its learning opportunities grant portion, set up to assist students who could be at a greater risk of not doing well in school. “We in Durham are very con- cerned with the money provided in learning opportunities because we get so little,” said Mr. An- drews. “We don’t think we’re given fair treatment in that area.” A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 15, 2002 Director says challenges remain despite funding announcement GRANT ANDREWS ‘Compared to zero, 2.5 sounds pretty good.’ Three charged following chases roadblock and the car was stopped on Fernhill Boulevard. The 17-year-old driver was charged with flight from police, pos- session of stolen property, dangerous driving, breach of recognizance and breach of probation. A 16-year-old passenger, who was arrested after a foot chase, is also charged with possession of stolen property and breach of probation.

PUTT FOR CASH MAY 23 WIN $20000 Bring your putter BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM — The last two months have been a long haul for Mary Ann Martin. The chairman of the Durham Catholic District School Board broke down in tears shortly after the start of Monday night’s board meeting. Trustees had just watched a presentation on the World Youth Day cross, the sym- bol of the Roman Catholic Church event to be held in Toronto this summer, featuring pictures of young people from across Canada carrying the cross. Trustee Martin managed to say, “I feel proud of who we are,” as she took a minute to compose herself. Asked in an interview if the strain of the Marc Hall legal bat- tle had prompted her tears, Trustee Martin responded, “ab- solutely. “(The World Youth Day pre- sentation) reinforces what we as a Catholic school system are all about, and that is our faith in God, our strong belief in Chris- tianity and our students.” Mr. Hall attended on Friday night the Monsignor John Perey- ma Catholic Secondary School prom after Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert MacKin- non prevented the board and principal Michael Powers from stopping the Grade 12 student and his boyfriend from going to- gether. Mr. Powers and the board had refused to let the couple attend the dance, describing it as “ho- mosexual behaviour” that is for- bidden by the Catholic Church. Trustee Martin said the media attention on her and the board has been “wild” since the story grabbed national attention. Per- sonally, she said it’s been a “challenging” time. She said the board has to “fin- ish up with what started with the injunction” and have the issue move to a trial. Board lawyer Peter Lauwers said in an interview the board’s next step is to file a statement of defence. He estimated the Supe- rior Court of Justice trial on the matter, to occur in Whitby, is still a few months off and likely will take place in the fall. Unlike the injunction case, the trial will feature live witness- es, and Mr. Lauwers expects Trustee Martin, education direc- tor Grant Andrews, Mr. Powers and Anthony Meagher, auxiliary bishop of Toronto for the north- ern and Durham regions, will all take the stand. “I suspect it will be three weeks, frankly, maybe longer,” he said. After that decision, Mr. Lauwers said “the loser will have to decide whether to appeal or not” to the Supreme Court of Canada. But he noted there’s no guarantee the case will be heard in the Supreme Court. However if that scenario played out, Mr. Lauwers said the entire legal process would take “about three years, maybe longer”. David Corbett, Mr. Hall’s lawyer, is on holiday and was unavailable for comment.

AJAX —Fireworks can be fun, but caution should be para- mount, says Thom Evered. “Every year thousands of families across Canada enjoy setting off fireworks in celebra- tion of Victoria Day and Canada Day,” said the chief fire preven- tion officer for Ajax Fire and Emergency Services. “Unfortunately, every year thousands of Canadians are in- jured and require medical treat- ment because these devices, al- though impressive, are danger- ous.” If you’re planning to hold a fireworks display this week- end, consider these safety tips: • Choose a wide, clear site away from overhead obstacles; • Don’t fire in windy condi- tions; • If the firework doesn’t have a standing base, then bury it halfway, unless the label indi- cates otherwise. Set the fire- works at a 10-degree angle, pointing away from people; • Never light fireworks in your hand or hold a lit one in your hand, other than a sparkler; • Keep water nearby. Dis- pose used fireworks, including debris, in a pail of water or re- turn to the vendor; and • Never try to relight fire- works that didn’t go off. Never try to fix fireworks that are de- fective. Wait at least 30 minutes before approaching such fire- works. For more information, call the fire prevention office at 905- 683-7791. Light up the night – but be careful WANTED!

A total of seven fairly spacious rooms with eight in-patient beds and a four-bed day surgery recovery area make up enough space so parents can spend the night if need be. And, the unit also has a full pantry for families to keep their own food from home. Yvette Dalrymple, clinical practice leader for pediatrics in Ajax, said all measures would “provide some nor- malcy” for the kids when they pay a visit to the hospital. The unit is also equipped with a lounge, a pediatric referral clinic and a playroom complete with toys and games donated by McDonald’s Restaurants in Ajax. The walls of the new unit are quite colourful, a welcome change to the bland hospital green we’ve all come to dread, and they are littered with chil- dren’s arts and crafts dreamed up and donated by kids themselves. Even many of the ceiling tiles have the kids’ touch as students from local schools took the time to repaint them. “It gives the kids something differ- ent to look up at when they’re in the bed,” said Ms. Dalrymple. “(The unit is) as pediatric friendly as possible.” Staffing the new unit regularly will be teams of two pediatric nurses at night and three when day surgery opens following the long weekend May 20. Ms. Young said the hospital hired all pediatric nurses so the staff could be equipped with the expertise to han- dle the often delicate circumstances involved with a child’s hospital visit. And, while she agreed separating the children from the adult floors of the hospital will make a stay more comfortable, she said it would also help make an adults visit a little more pleasant. “It’s just not a good mix,” she said, explaining adults recovering from surgery or suffering from other ail- ments can do without the noise often associated with kids. But, most importantly, she said par- ents in Ajax and Pickering can know when an emergency arises they don’t have to go too far to get help and spe- cialized care. “Now it’s just down the street,” she said.

AJAX —The date is being moved up for when ‘smartcards’ will no longer be accepted on Ajax buses. Last week, Ajax Pickering Transit Authority officials announced the cards would be phased out by the end of the summer. But, now it’s going to happen sooner because the equipment used needs maintenance work. Officials decided that rather than spend money on the work, the smart- card machines would be removed. As of Tuesday, May 21, smartcard users won’t be able to add to their ac- count and as of Friday, June 28, the cards will no longer be accepted. Smartcards are computerized cards that allow riders to deposit money into an account and have fares deducted as they use the cards. Ajax was a pioneer in the use of the transit technology. Pickering didn’t have the technology on its buses. The Ajax and Pickering transit sys- tems were merged last year. During the phase-out period, pas- sengers can exchange the balance on their smartcards for either a multi-ride or monthly pass. This can be done at the APTA head office, next to the Ajax GO station, or at ‘fare exchange bus’ locations. A special fare exchange bus will be at the Ajax GO station Mondays and Fridays from May 27 to June 21, be- tween 6 and 9 a.m. APTA staff will be able to answer questions or exchange cards for passes. To further assist passengers, the transit head office will be open Satur- days from May 25 to June 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We need to have the ability to in- terchange former Pickering and Ajax transit buses,” APTA general manager Ted Galinis said. “With the existing technology in place, the former Pick- ering Transit buses cannot be used in Ajax and as a result, we are unable to maximize utilization of the combined APTA bus fleet.” Smartcards may be reintroduced sometime in the future, he added, as APTA is working with other GTA transit providers to create a universal- ly-accepted smartcard for use on all buses and commuter rail services. “Although both Ajax and Pickering support the use of Smartcards for tran- sit, a major expenditure for new tech- nology will only be considered when we’re sure that provincial funding is secure and the GTA partners agree on a common smartcard and fare-collec- tion system,” Mr. Galinis said.

This is the first time on-site storage has been considered as an option for permanent storage although plans have always included keeping the waste on- site until decommissioning of the gener- ating stations. In the fall, Mayor Mutton and Pick- ering Mayor Wayne Arthurs both ex- pressed concern with the permanent on- site option. The mayors argued if the waste does remain in the communities permanently, the municipalities should receive compensation. Their requests were rejected and the legislation passed without any inclusion of compensation or any municipal representation in the process. However, notes Mayor Arthurs, “Membership of the municipalities is not precluded by the legislation.” He be- lieves the municipalities can be includ- ed in the decision-making. “We expressed our interest to be ac- tively involved in the process and to have a place on the board of directors,” says Mayor Arthurs. “I was encouraged by the minister’s receptiveness to our approach.” Mayor Mutton adds, “The key is, we are recognized as stakeholders. If the studies aren’t to a level of the munici- palities’ satisfaction, the minister will step in.” Durham MP Alex Shepherd says the local MPs can continue to lobby for mu- nicipal participation as well. “I don’t see why it wouldn’t be appropriate to have a local representative on the board.” FIRST from page 1 WISE BUYERS READ THE LEGAL COPY:*$2002 factory to consumer cashback offer available on most new in-stock 2002 Windstar/Explorer/Taurus/ F-Series under 8500 GVW. $1000 factory to consumer cashback offer available on most new in-stock 2002 Focus/Ranger models.Taxes payable on full amount of purchase price before cashback (and Spring Bonus if applicable) deducted. **0% purchase financing on most new in-stock 2002 Windstar/Taurus/Explorer Sport/ for a maximum of 48 months to retail customers, on approved credit. 0% purchase financing on all new in-stock 2002 Explorer 4-door/Explorer SporTrac/Focus/Ranger/F-Series under 8500 GVW for a maximum of 36 months to retail customers, on approved credit.

Comprised of 20 local knitters and cro- cheters, the Knitting With Love group is showing its support for the still-to-be opened shelter by setting a goal to knit blankets for 25 beds, as well as a few extra for the common room. “It’s something we can do to help and it’s a comfortable start for people living there,” said Gayle Clow, a member of the group. “We hope to make more people aware the shelter is coming and get more people in- volved.” Currently she is try- ing to get suitable yarn in large quantities, but welcomes help from in- dividuals and groups with making afghans and donating yarn. “Everybody has just started doing this,” said Ms. Clow, who has begun knitting two NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 15, 2002 PAGE 5 A/P Tight-knit group offers a lot of love Knitting With Love pledges enough blankets for each bed at new women’s shelter DURHAM —Enhance your knowledge of unconsciousness, severe bleeding, CPR and other life-saving skills.

Mr. Eves, who was associated for so long with former premier Mike Harris and the tenets of the Common Sense Revolution (CSR), could have easily taken a pass on the race to replace Mr. Harris. After all, the party had a wealth of solid, experienced candidates ready to fill the top job. But Mr. Eves, who has over 20 years experience in the legislature, half-a-dozen as deputy-premier-finance min- ister, certainly has his own views on what his government should do. Just as Mr. Harris won a hard-earned majority in 1995 and made quick and dramatic changes to the way Ontario is run — reducing welfare payments by 21 per cent, dropping trustees and school boards, cutting provin- cial income tax — Mr. Eves now has a chance to make his own mark. Clearly, there are sound political reasons for a more moderate approach. The electorate is worn out after seven years of rapid-fire change, and battles with unions, teach- ers, and poverty activists. Much of the CSR originally struck a chord with a vast middle-class constituency, es- pecially in the 905 regions and southwestern Ontario and voters affirmed that commitment by re-electing the Har- ris Tories in 1999. But the fallout from the May 2000 Walkerton water disaster, which left seven dead and thousands ill, in addi- tion to ongoing labour strife with teacher unions and questions about Hydro One privatization, have changed the mood of voters. It’s likely Mr. Harris himself decided continuing the revolution was a losing proposition and that was probably a defining factor in his decision to step down. Why would Mr. Eves then decide to push policies in the next provin- cial election even Mr. Harris sees as futile? The throne speech continued the thinking Mr. Eves presented during his leadership campaign and echoed what he has said since his victory in late March. He will attempt to reach a consensus with the so-called special- interest groups that often found themselves shut out dur- ing the Harris years. His second-ballot election as Conservative Party leader, combined with the dozens of MPPs and cabinet ministers who backed him for premier, suggests Mr. Eves represents a majority constituency within the Tory party. Certainly there are some, especially on the right wing, who won’t be thrilled with a move to the centre. But Mr. Eves has won the right to call the shots. His efforts at compromise are a refreshing change for Ontario. Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 15, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Hall decision sets ‘ugly precedent’ To the editor: Re: ‘Judge needed wisdom of Solomon on decision,’ editorial, May 12. I find it ironic you liken the wisdom of Justice Robert MacK- innon’s decision in the Marc Hall prom issue to that of King Solomon. Solomon was a revered king - a political leader who found it nec- essary and desirable to dedicate huge amounts of time and re- sources to building a temple to God. Politics and religion were in- tegral to Solomon and his people. The directional boundary in our new separation existence has been drawn for the church - how- ever, where is the line in the sand for the government and courts with respect to their staying out of church decisions? Justice MacKinnon’s decision sets an ugly precedent, not only for the rights of Catholic schools, but for the rights of any organiza- tion that sets codes of conduct for its members. Solomon’s wisdom was on another level. David Wilson Church has other problems besides Marc Hall To the editor: Re: ‘It’s a date,’May 12. Congratulations to Marc Hall in winning his right to take his boyfriend to the prom. I read Catholic board officials said, while they did not condemn Marc’s sexual orientation “the be- haviours associated with a homo- sexual lifestyle are not consistent with church teachings.” Interesting comment. Does that mean they accept that priests per- form sexual acts against young boys then? Just wondering, be- cause they failed to mention that. Deb Crossman Rights of family should supersede individual’s To the editor: Re: ‘It’s a date,’May 12. It is absolutely amazing our so- ciety is placing more emphasis on Marc Hall’s rights, and placing no importance on the rights or values of higher and more important bodies such as the family, society, nation and world. Our justice system is willing to sacrifice the family for the sake of the individual, or even society for the sake of the individual instead of the individual sacrificing him- self for the sake of the family, or even higher units such as the soci- ety, nation or world. To me that is the same as say- ing it is OK to destroy the family for the sake of the individual, or destroy the nation for the sake of the family. A little backwards wouldn’t you say? Mike Brisebois Good for Marc but enough attention seeking To the editor: Re: ‘It’s a date,’May 12. Congratulations to Marc for his victory in court. Having said that, can the press please put this on the back pages since, from my view, anyone with ‘blue’ hair is screaming for attention and you are giving it to him. Unfortunately, Jean-Paul will find that out in time. Cliff Chilcott Judges shouldn’t decide school rules To the editor: Re: ‘It’s a date,’May 12. The recent judicial decision on Marc Hall completely skirts the real issue. Should taxpayers be forced to support a school system that is vulnerable to random de- crees by unelected judges? The mean-spirited 11th hour exotic decree by the judge would prompt me to immediately direct my taxes to a private school of my choice, insulated from silly de- crees by judges, if that were pos- sible. This silly decree is legal quackery to be sure, and it will be good for the furtherance of truly independent private schools, and it demonstrates once again the need for elected judges. R. H. Posma Church must rethink positions on issues To the editor: Re: ‘It’s a date,’May 12. Congratulations to Justice MacKinnon on recognizing the real issues in the prom case and to Marc Hall for following through on principle. His parents must be proud. The Catholic church has placed far too much emphasis on sexual issues at the expense of human rights, e.g., its stance on contraception versus parental rights to limit the size of a family. If church leaders choose to em- phasize the teachings of the Old Testament over the tolerance preached in the New Testament they need to look at the relevance of those teachings. Let’s look at Leviticus, where we find the much-quoted passage about lying with another man being an abomination. The same book also states after having a child a woman has a pe- riod of being unclean and follow- ing that she must sacrifice a lamb. Does the church still expect such sacrifices? Leviticus also states the meat of pigs is unclean, but do these Catholic leaders rant about the evils of bacon? No, they cher- ry pick the issues they want to promote. I suggest the Catholic church leaders need to give some serious thought to the direction of the re- ligion in the 21st century. Linda Taberner Board must follow public rules To the editor: Re: ‘It’s a date,’May 12. It is not accurate or fair to say Marc Hall or other gay Catholic teens choose to attend a Catholic secondary school therefore should abide by the rules of Catholicism. One doesn’t choose a secondary school in the same sense one does a college or university. High school students are, for the most part, minors, therefore, from a legal standpoint, they are inca- pable of making conscious deci- sions. You could also argue this should be a question of religious belief only, not a legal or civil issue. If we were talking about a Seventh-Day Adventist school, or a Dutch Reformed School, or any other type of religious school, this would be a valid argument be- cause those schools are all pri- vately funded. The Durham Dis- trict Catholic School Board is not. The board is government-fund- ed, and the moment you discrimi- nate against anyone within an in- stitution that is backed by govern- ment money, it ceases to be a pri- vate or religious issue, it becomes a public issue. It becomes a viola- tion of human rights. If the Roman Catholic Church wants to discriminate against ho- mosexuals or any other social group use religious creed to do so, they have that civil right. But they should use their own money to do it. Case closed. Colleen Andrews Catholic board should give up court fight To the editor: Re: ‘It’s a date,’May 12. As a separate school taxpayer, I say enough money has been spent in the courts disputing dif- ferences. No more money should be spent taking this matter to the Supreme Court. Let’s spend the money teaching people to tolerate and respect each other’s differ- ences.

The Cricket Club was organized in 1888 and that same year defeated Oshawa and won for East Toronto, missing the provincial championship by a narrow margin. By the late 1890s, the sport of choice was quickly becoming soccer. While there is no record of the Pickering Village team winning any champi- onship, it played against the leading teams of the as- sociation. This photo is of the Pickering soccer team of 1912. In the photo are: F. Adair, S. Davis, Rev. Johnson, G. Law, W. Spence, Les Morecombe, Jas. Richardson, Frank Puckrin, F. Booth, Walter Booth, Blake Annis, Fred Kirby, F. Turner and Jack Calvert.

The Review affects lands generally bounded by Kingston Road, Whites Road, and Sheppard Avenue, as shown on the map below. The purpose of the review is to recommend changes to the land use designations and policies in the Pickering Official Plan, and to the Development Guidelines, in order to achieve a cohesive identity for the area, to guide development on private property, and to provide Pickering with a framework for reviewing development applications. In addition, the feasibility of piping a tributary of Amberlea Creek as well as the consolidation of access points along Kingston Road and an internal road scheme to service the interior of the quadrant are being examined. The purpose of this meeting is to present the results of the Review to Planning Committee, and subsequently to Council.

That’s not acceptable to their caregivers, who sent a clear message to provincial politicians that additional funding is needed to provide for 63,000 people in Ontario long-term care facilities. Staff, residents and families across Durham signed post- cards that were collected at local long-term care homes and delivered to the region’s MPPs Friday. “We’re feeling that we’ve been abandoned by the fund- ing system,” said Linda Grills, administrator for Ex- tendicare Oshawa. That organization, along with ThorntonView Long Term Care, presented Os- hawa MPP Jerry Ouellette with 226 cards urging the Province to invest more money in long-term care. Jean Forest of Sunnycrest Nursing Homes Ltd. in Whit- by delivered 300 postcards to Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Fla- herty’s constituency office. The campaign was the initiative of the Ontario Long Term Care Association (OLTCA), which represents the private, charitable, not- for-profit and municipal op- erators of 340 homes. The re- quest is for $220 million this year, or $8.26 per resident per day, as part of $750 mil- lion needed over the next three years. The group has been lobbying the govern- ment for more money since the mid-1990s because it says its residents are more vulnerable than ever. “It’s a very important issue,” agreed Mr. Flaherty. He noted in 1998 the Province committed $1.2 bil- lion towards 20,000 new long-term care beds by 2004. The government also in- creased the funding for day- to-day operations at the facil- ities on April 1, he said. “Could we do more? Of course.” Mr. Flaherty said he would pass on their concerns to health and long-term care minister Tony Clement. In a government-funded 2001 study, the OLTCA learned Ontario ranked the lowest of 11 Canadian, U.S. and international jurisdic- tions for the number of hours of care each resident received daily. The study showed in Ontario, funding allowed for 2.04 hours of nursing care per resident per day. That works out to one bath a week and four minutes to get a resident out of bed each morning, washed and dressed. “The funding that we get from government does not allow us to provide the staff or the programs that meet the needs of a resident who is now older, frailer and often has multiple health compli- cations when they come to our home,” Ms. Grills said. Technology is a factor, she said, adding people in On- tario’s nursing homes take an average of nine medications daily. “The needs have gone up but the funding hasn’t been kept abreast,” she said. “The system is breaking at the seams. We’re hoping our concerns and issues will be heard.” A typical resident of a long-term care home is a widowed 86-year-old woman, according to the provincial group. She re- quires help getting dressed, eating and navigating her way around the home. She may require oxygen and have more than one medical con- dition.

Injured worker knows perils of job sites Ask questions says safety advocate BY PAULO SANTOS Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM ––In 23 years as a military bomb- disposal technician, John Lewis didn’t suffer any seri- ous injuries. But, in a matter of seconds, his whole life changed on a civilian job. In 1995, Mr. Lewis lost effective use of his whole left arm while working in a sewage-control plant in Whitby. “I had to go down at 8:30 a.m. every morning and open up a valve,” he said. “One day I reached up to open the valve and I felt a very sharp pain in the back of my neck. I pinched a nerve. I had to go and see several doctors and I ended up needing surgery.” After complications dur- ing the operation, he could- n’t use his arm anymore. Today, he jokes about the buttons on his shirt and how they’re too small to do up, but even if they were bigger, he would still have a hard time doing them up without his wife’s help. “Now, when I get up in the morning and get dressed, my wife has to help me,” he said. “My wife has to help me have a shower.” Mr. Lewis now works with the Durham Region Labour Council to encour- age young people to ask questions about workplace safety. He recently attended G.L. Roberts Collegiate in Oshawa alongside Rob Ellis, who lost his son in 1999 to a work-related acci- dent, telling students to ask their employer questions. Both men stress students have a right to ask their bosses questions about a particular job that seems dangerous. Questions like: “Will I have an experi- enced worker supervising me? “Is there a high turnover rate in this job? “Will I be using haz- ardous chemicals or ma- chinery in this job?” For students trying to save up for college, or working to help their fami- ly, this seems easier said than done. But Mr. Lewis says there are more impor- tant things in life than money. “You’ve got to ask ques- tions,” he said. “It’s better to ask questions and be fired, than not to ask questions and get hurt or even killed. “The only stupid ques- tion is the question you for- got to ask.” SPECIALSALE Carrier of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser or flyers call Circulation at 683-5117.

Congratulations Jennifer, for being our Carrier of the Week. Premier Eves, Ontario has the lowest tobacco taxes in Canada. Tobacco use kills nearly 12,000 Ontarians every year. Higher taxes will reduce tobacco consumption. Here's a great way to save lives, protect our kids' futures, and improve the province's balance sheet: Raise Tobacco Taxes! Why is this a problem? • Low prices lead to more tobacco use. More kids start smoking and fewer smokers quit. • Tobacco use costs Ontario at least $3.7 billion each year in health care costs, foregone income, and lost productivity. The government only received just under $800 million last year in tobacco taxes. Ontario's businesses and workers are paying the difference. How will a tobacco tax increase address this problem? • Ontario's health agencies estimate that a $15/carton increase would reduce the number of adult smokers by about 126,000. Over the long term, that means up to 63,000 fewer deaths from tobacco use. • Fewer kids will start smoking, many who smoke will reduce consumption and many will quit. • Additional funding can be dedicated to proven effective tobacco control programs for the province, some of which are now operating but poorly funded. • Funds from the tax increase can also help offset increasing health care system costs and reduce waiting times for treatment. • Help for smokers who want to quit can be provided through better stop-smoking services every- where in Ontario. Concerns that a tax increase will cause renewed smuggling are sometimes raised. However, higher prices in all U.S. states and last year's new federal tax on exported cigarettes means that the incen- tive to smuggle has largely been eliminated. If any smuggling is likely, it's going to happen from Ontario to other Canadian provinces where prices are much higher at present. Let's reduce tobacco use and improve health care funding at the same time: a tobacco tax increase is necessary and overdue.

Firstly, congratulations to those in the region who were re- cipients of the Recycling Coun- cil of Ontario’s 2001 Waste Min- imization Awards during its April ceremony. The Ajax and Picker- ing News Advertiser captured the award for best environmental news story. Durham Region and the City of Pickering received recognition for their municipal efforts with Bronze Awards, while Whitby obtained an impressive Silver Award. Courtice resident and freelance write Suzanne Elston was recognized with the Volun- teer Adult Award. To celebrate last week’s ‘In- ternational Composting Aware- ness Week’, both Ajax and Pick- ering donated a composter for a draw in the Recycler’s Corner’s treasure chest. The winners, drawn by Pick- ering Waste Reduction Commit- tee members, were: Joyce Reynolds in Ajax and Picker- ing’s Brian Ash. Durham Region hosted a one- day composter sale and compost giveaway in Pickering that re- sulted in the sale of 200 blue boxes and 45 Earth Machines. On the same day, 700 vehicles lined up in Ajax to obtain free compost, while 51 blue boxes and 35 composters were sold. The compost giveaway is a huge favourite. In Durham, free compost is only offered at events, leaving many residents disappointed if they arrive late. Pickering’s large pile, for exam- ple, was gone within one hour. In order for us to have regular ac- cess to regional compost, which is the practice in other areas, we need to lobby politicians. Public pressure, together with compost markets, can indicate how much compost is made available to us on a regular basis by Durham Region re-negotiat- ing its present contract with Northwoods Recycling, which receives the yard trimmings. In Regina, anyone obtaining a composter also receives a visit from a local Girl Guide. Guide groups in the Queen City are given a master’s composter course and assist all beginners. Their program awards them a ‘compost badge’ — a great ini- tiative from Dwight Mercer and his recycling staff in Saskatchewan. This would be a good year for our Guide leaders to join forces with local municipalities to pro- mote and educate the use of both backyard composters and vermi- composters. Composting advocates in Durham or across Canada could be a ‘gardening winner’ for growing the biggest pumpkin in this year’s first giant pumpkin growing contest sponsored by the Composting Council of Canada (CCC). To enter, contact the CCC for details and then plant some seeds in your garden, which of course is mixed with compost. Will the first jack compost, (aka o’- lantern), hail from Durham? The great pumpkin winner re- ceives bragging rights, $500 to donate to a local horticultural ini- tiative and free registration to the CCC’s 2003 annual conference. “Contest prizes may vary to be more suitable to the types of en- tries we receive,” stated execu- tive director Susan Antler.

I’m a customer service representative. I’ve been married for 19 years and have two grown children. When I quit smoking at age 40, I packed on pounds so quickly, it made my head spin. I was overweight for 12 long years. I was embarrassed by my weight. I needed extra large clothing to fit around my bulging stomach and hips. Nothing was comfortable. Nothing looked nice. I didn’t want to go to parties or get dressed up. I didn’t want to do anything unless it was in a baggy sweatshirt and tights. Disastrous Dieting! I thought I could take off my weight by myself. I tried the grapefruit diet, the egg diet, and countless other fad diets. The more I dieted, the more I wanted to eat. The more I ate, the more I gained. It was a vicious cycle. Diets and cravings went hand in hand. Every time I’d start a new diet, I would begin craving candy bars. Eventually, I’d eat three or four! My extreme weight had me exhausted. I’d drag myself home from work and barely make it to the couch. I felt dragged out and achy. My blood pressure and cholesterol were sky high. I was I thought about all the Positive Changes success stories I’d read in the newspaper. I remembered that the ads had mentioned a free hypnosis screening. It also said there was a no-risk guarantee. What did I have to lose except about 50 lbs! I picked up the phone to schedule my screening appointment. My hypnotic screening was fun and informative. I learned about the power of my mind. I discovered that hypnosis is relaxing and fun. I would stay in control of my sessions at all times. I had nothing to fear. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and caring. They told me about the program and everything I could expect. There was no sales pressure and the program was surprisingly affordable. I knew my health was getting worse and that I had to do something. I signed up immediately. Instant Results! I noticed a change in my behavior the next morning. I didn’t brew my usual pot of coffee. I reached for a big glass of water instead. I never drank water before! Since being hypnotized, I’ve been drinking at least ten glasses of water a day. It’s automatic! I melted off 6 lbs. my first week and 12 lbs. my first month. I stopped drinking diet soda, coffee and tea. My husband couldn’t believe it. These were major changes for me, but I wasn’t conscious of putting any effort into it. Best of all, hypnosis eliminated those horrible cravings. I never feel deprived. I am satisfied with just the right amounts of food. I have control over what I eat. Compliments Galore! No one can believe the change in me. I was fat for so long, and my weight melted off so quickly, people just couldn’t believe it. Even people who barely know me stop to comment on how great I look. They are always asking me how I did it. I am happy to recommend Positive Changes Hypnosis. In fact, I tell them that I think the Positive Changes Hypnosis’ program is worth more than double what I paid. I am so happy with my results. I love shopping now. I can even wear my daughter’s clothing. I hadn’t bought a bathing suit in 20 years. I will buy one this year! Lasting Results! I am confident that my weight loss is for life. It’s easy to maintain my results because I never feel like I am missing out. I have no cravings and never get hungry between meals. Hypnosis transformed my poor eating habits into healthy, positive behaviors! I enjoy wholesome, nourishing foods. I used to eat a whole bag of potato chips. Now my mind and body seem to reject junk foods. Truly, it’s that simple and easy! constantly chewing on antacids. I worried about what would happen when I got older. My Discovery I discovered Positive Changes Hypnosis in the newspaper. I read and re-read the ads, but put off calling for months. I was skeptical.

Girls’soccer club tuning up for run at provincial title PICKERING —The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs’ senior girls’ soccer team was unstoppable en route to the championship at the South Carleton Tournament in Ottawa last weekend. St. Mary won six consecu- tive games, including a hard- fought narrow victory over a local rival, to capture the high- calibre tournament. In the final, the Monarchs edged the Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School Saints 3-2. Gianetta Savarino led the way with two goals, followed by Tonia Coletti with one. The semifinal game proved to be the Monarchs toughest challenge. In that game, St. Mary faced Lake Ontario Sec- ondary School Athletics (LOSSA) league and City rival, the Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School Pumas. The teams played to 2-2 tie in regu- lation time. Two five-minute overtime halves failed to pro- duce a winner, leading to the Monarchs win on penalty kicks, 3-1. In preliminary play, the Monarchs defeated St. Charles College of Sudbury 3-0 in the tournament opener. Next, St. Mary beat Huntsville High School 4-1. In Game 3, the Monarchs rolled over Ashbury High School of Ottawa 5-0. In the quarter- finals, the Mon- archs blanked St. Joseph’s-Scol- lard Hall of North Bay 4-0. Thus far this season, the Mon- archs have been the dominant team in the area, posting a 17-1 record overall, including a 7-0 record in LOSSA play. The goal, said Monarchs’ assis- tant coach and school vice-prin- cipal Joe Viscon- ti, is to earn a berth in the On- tario Federation of School Athlet- ic Associations (OFSAA) cham- pionships, some- thing the team failed to do last season. “Our goal is OFSAA. We said that last year, but we lost in the (LOSSA) quarter-finals to McLaughlin, so we’re not tak- ing anything for granted,” he said. Visconti said there’s a sense of urgency on the team to cap- ture a provincial title this year as the senior squad stands to lose eight players to graduation. The Monarchs didn’t miss a beat when starting their outdoor soccer season after a successful indoor campaign that saw the team win two goal and two sil- ver medals in tournament play, including the championship at the high-profile Coffee Time Tournament of Champions in Vaughan where the girls posted a 6-1 record. In LOSSA play, St. Mary posted a 1-0 home victory over the Pumas in a battle of unde- feated teams Monday. Savarino netted the goal and Ashley Viss- er earned the shutout. In earlier league games, St. Mary defeated the Pickering High School Trojans 2-1, Ajax High School 6-1, Uxbridge Secondary School 3-0, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School 9-0, Brock High School 6-0 and Port Perry High School 3-0.

St. Mary Monarchs reign over Ottawa Kyle Wailes will play hockey, lacrosse at Brown University BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor AJAX —An Ajax student will have his plate full to overflowing as he plans to play two sports while attending an Ivy League school this fall. Kyle Wailes, 18, a Grade 12 student at Archbishop Denis O’Connor Catholic High School, will attend Brown University in Prov- idence, Rhode Island in September. He won’t receive a scholarship, per se, (Ivy League schools don’t offer them), but he will receive a financial aid package and has plans to be ac- tive on the Brown Bears men’s field lacrosse and hockey teams. To say he’s excited about the prospect of at- tending the prestigious school would be an un- derstatement. “It’s a real opportunity to attend an Ivy League school and I’m excited about playing there and attending school there. It’s a great campus, it has good academics and athletics; I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” he said. “It’s going to be difficult. I’m looking to take pre-med and that comes with a tough course load, along with two sports but, hope- fully, it will work out.” He’ll play in his freshman year on the men’s field lacrosse team, however, he’ll have to wait a season to lace up the skates with the hockey team. Eligibility rules prohibit players who’ve played in the Ontario Hockey League from playing for one year at the collegiate level; Wailes played two seasons ago with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and the year be- fore that as an underage player with the Barrie Colts. Last season, Wailes played with the OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’Hockey League’s Ajax Axemen. A forward, he accumulated 65 points in 30 games. He noted taking a year away from the rink due to ineligibility won’t hamper his status with the Brown team. “I’ve talked to the (hockey) coach and when I get my eligibility back he would be happy to have me play,” said Wailes, adding the Brown hockey team has been contenders for the Ivy League Conference title the past several years. An accomplished lacrosse player, Wailes is looking forward to playing as a freshman with a young Brown squad that lost to Princeton by only two goals in the Ivy League final this year. The club featured 16 first-year players and Wailes noted that strong showing bodes well for his first year. Wailes played box lacrosse at the junior ‘A’ level last season with the Orillia Rama Hama Kings. He has requested a trade from that squad to be closer to Durham Region where he hopes to land with either the Whitby Warriors or the Toronto Beaches clubs. “It was too far away to drive to Orillia, so I’ve been waiting for a trade,” said Wailes who also plays field lacrosse with the Oshawa Blue Knights. “They haven’t worked out a deal yet, but hopefully it will be done soon.” The lacrosse and hockey seasons at Brown dovetail nicely into one another, so there will be very little overlap between the two seasons, added Wailes. “Both (lacrosse and hockey) coaches are all for it. They don’t have a problem with it just as long as I keep up academically,” he explained. To keep his field lacrosse skills razor sharp, Wailes is playing with the DO’C boys’ field lacrosse team, serving as the captain of the squad, which currently boasts a 2-1 record in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics play.Please recycle your copy of the News AdvertiserIn an Ivy League of his own KYLE WAILES Set to play hockey and lacrosse at Brown University in Rhode Island.

Opening with ‘The Brides- maid from Hell’May 15, Lloyd Whiteway’s Mystery Theatre Experience will take the stage at the Health and Resources Centre, 22600 Island Rd. Audi- ence participation is encour- aged at each of the whodunit luncheons, and prizes for the best correct, and most imagi- nary incorrect solutions will be awarded. Ajax actress Fran Stecyk plays the role of ‘Aunt Jean’ in ‘The Bridesmaid from Hell’. The veteran actress has been on stage numerous times at the Herongate Barn Dinner The- atre in Pickering and recently finished up an engagement in the ambitious two-act musical ‘The Dance of the Dead’ at Toronto’s Berkeley Street The- atre. Professional actors will per- form two different shows by Mr. Whiteway, the former artis- tic director at the Red Barn Theatre in Jackson’s Point. A producer of professional the- atre for the past 20 years, he has done numerous murder mystery dinners for private and corporate groups. “(The show) is a little differ- ent,” says Angela Lynch, ad- ministrator for Mystery The- atre Experience. “(It’s) very funny, that’s the idea.” Both plays are done in a cabaret style, says Ms. Lynch, explaining how audience mem- bers become part of the wed- ding reception at Bridesmaid from Hell. The second perfor- mance, Death and the Space- man, is set at a national science fiction convention. Both plays are written by Greg Toner. Tickets for the event are $44, and $40 for seniors, and are available at the Settlement House. Group rates are also of- fered, and all performances begin at noon with a hot buffet luncheon.

But needless fuel consumption does more than waste money. It also produces pollution that contributes to climate change, urban smog and acid rain. With today’s sophisticated engines and computer systems, most maintenance should be left to the professionals. Still, performing the following inspection once a month can help you identify and avoid problems that could cost your fuel and money down the road. • Check tire pressures and look for signs or uneven wear or embedded objects that can cause air leaks. • Check around the car and under the engine for fluid leaks (if you detect a leak, get your vehicle to a garage as soon as possible) • Check fluid levels, including the engine oil, engine coolant, transmission fluid and power steering fluid. • Check the engine compartment for cracked or split spark plugs wires, cracked radiator hoses or loose clamps and corrosion around the battery terminals. 905-420-5788 Fax: 905-839-7455 1-800-263-4431 www.pickeringtoyota.com 557 Kingston Rd., Pickering MON., TUES., THURS., FRI. 7:30 - 6:00 WED. 7:30 - 8:00; SAT. 8:00 - 3:00 365 Bayly Street West Ajax, Ontario L1S 6M3 Tel: (905) 428-8888 Fax: (905) 428-8904 SERVICE HOURS MON. - THURS. 7:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. FRI. 7:30a.m. - 6 p.m. SAT. 9 a.m. - 3p.m. VicVic Perform a monthly vehicle check NP0531102 Copyright 2002.

Wildcats coach Greg Allen con- firmed a news con- ference is scheduled for May 27, the Monday after NCAAs, in Tucson, Ariz. — and the Forecaddie can’t remember the last press conference he attended that was pulled together to announce somebody was remaining an ama- teur. Ochoa, who has only one remaining LPGA exemption in 2002, has contacted the Futures Tour to let officials know she would like to play in the Aurora Health Care Futures Charity Golf Classic in Sussex, Wis., May 31- June 2. The Man Out Front is will- ing to bet his own humble little paycheck that Ochoa will collect one herself then. TEACHER’S PET Gary Nicklaus has a new traveling instructor who knows a little something about the game — namely one Jack William Nicklaus. The Golden Bear is assisting his 33-year-old cub, who hasn’t had a top-10 on Tour since losing to Phil Mickelson in a playoff at the 2000 BellSouth. “Gary has asked me to help him, and I’m helping him,” Papa Bear said recent- ly. “I don’t really think Gary’s prob- lem is his golf game — I think the problem is in his head. Gary plays too many good shots to do what he is doing, and if we get that squared away, I think Gary will, I hope in the not-too-distant future, start play- ing somewhere near his potential.” —Golfweek Bet on Captain Curtis to lead the charge to the Ryder Cup BY JAY A. COFFIN Golfweek Curtis Strange could stand around for hours talking about his Ryder Cup team, “the 12 guys” who “are like family” to him and wife Sarah. “I’m always following the guys,” Strange said. “I think I’ll follow those 12 guys forever.” Strange, 47, has his work cut out for him leading into the Sept. 27-29 matches at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England. Surely he has noticed that eight of his 12 U.S. team members are struggling. Sans Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson — who have combined for three victories and 11 top-10 finishes on Tour this year — the remaining 10 players have no victories and 18 top 10s. Four of the top 10s are from Mark Calcavecchia, four are from David Toms, and zero came from David Duval. Although Strange wouldn’t say it, Hal Sutton, Stewart Cink, Jim Furyk and Scott Hoch all have to be concerns even though the matches are more than four months away. Sutton has finished no higher than 23rd and missed seven cuts this year. Cink has missed five cuts and hasn’t finished in the top 10. Furyk played well early in the year, recording three top 10s, but has struggled with an inner-ear problem since March. Hoch has had complications from surgery on his right eye and has missed the last two weeks. “This team is not going to change,” Strange said. “They qualified for the 2001 team with great play. “Some of the guys will be playing better, some of the guys won’t be playing as well. That holds true for the other team as well. Sam (Torrance, the European captain) has the same predicament. There are some guys that are playing extremely well that aren’t on this team. Does that diminish from the matches? Absolutely not.” He’s right. Does it really matter how well you’ve been playing in previous months when it comes time to represent your country? No. Especially this year, when national pride is at an all-time high. Padraig Harrington and Sergio Garcia have had solid seasons for the Europeans. That doesn’t mean they will be playing well come Cup time. Some people thought there should be a different team picked to compete this year if last year’s team was not up to par. It might be nice to see Chris DiMarco on the U.S. team. Europe would love to have Jose Maria Olazabal. But that’s not how it works. Talking with Strange makes one realize that those who qualified for the 2001 squad should not be punished because terrorists decided to attack the United States. “Scott Hoch is part of the 2001 Ryder Cup team and always will be,” Strange said. “He will go — blind or not — this year.” Strange is not talking much about the matches. He knows how fickle golfers can be and would rather sit back and watch them develop their games this summer. Three major championships will be played before the event. “The only thing you can bet on is when the first tee goes in the ground that Friday morning, the game will be on,” Strange said. And you can bet Captain Curtis will be leading the charge. THIS WEEK’S QUESTION Do you plan to buy a high-COR driver knowing that in 2008 you will not be allowed to use it in USGA and R&A sanctioned competitions? Cast your vote at: www.golfweek.com Distributed by Knight Ridder/Tribune CRAIG JONES/GETTY IMAGES Jim Furyk has had an inner-ear problem. Lorena Ochoa Gary Nicklaus SCOTT HALLERAN/GETTY IMAGES ife on the PGA European Tour cost Tom Gillis his marriage. It sorely tested his self-esteem. And, by his own reckoning, it almost took his life. Gillis is the only American competing full time on the European Tour. It’s his fifth season playing overseas, and likely will be his last. “Playing in Europe has been a love-hate relationship with me,” Gillis said. “I love to compete at that level, but I’ve realized over the last four years that I have family and friends at home. It’s a lot of heartache being away. “I can feel it inside; it’s time to come home.” The saga of Tom Gillis exemplifies why so few Americans seek fame and fortune on the European Tour. Only 12 Americans have gained fully exempt status on the European Tour in the last five years. Among them, Gillis is the lone player to be fully exempt each season, posting four top-10s in 77 starts and earning 355,723 euros (approximately $325,487 U.S.) in official prize money. Yet unless you’re from Michigan — or perhaps Belgium — and follow golf closely, you’ve probably never heard of him. Gillis is 0-for-6 in attempts to qualify for the PGA Tour. But he made the grade in fall 1997 in his first try at the European Tour Q-School in Spain. “That first year I actually had fun, seeing all those new places,” he says. By his own count, he has teed up in 26 countries. With his wife, Wendy, joining him, Gillis began his European Tour odyssey with top-10 finishes at the Alfred Dunhill South African PGA Championship and the Moroccan Open. But Wendy Gillis didn’t much care for life on the road and told her husband she needed to get back to her job as general manager of a golf club in suburban Detroit. In his final event that season, the Belgacom Open in Belgium, he birdied the last hole to pull into a tie for 39th, earning enough money to slip into the 116th spot on the Order of Merit. Had he missed that final putt, he would have lost his European Tour card. Back home in Detroit, his parents watched the nerve-wracking round. His wife didn’t. “That’s when I knew I was having (marital) problems,” Gillis said. Over the winter, Gillis began having pain in his left wrist. It was tendonitis. After his campaign finally got under way, six weeks into the 1999 sea- son, Gillis missed 11 cuts in 23 starts and fell to 135th on the Order of Merit. Grappling with the impending breakup of his marriage, Gillis still managed to put his golf career back on track. In November 1999, he finished eighth at the European Tour Q-School and regained his exempt status. Gillis had set the stage for his most lucrative season as a professional. Gillis’2000 season began in January in South Africa. The next 10 months would take him to Australia, Malaysia, the Persian Gulf, South America, Morocco, Britain, around the European continent and conclude in Thailand. Gillis endured an ironman schedule of 30 tournaments at home and abroad. He finished 83rd on the Order of Merit, with the season highlight his third-place tie in the Belgacom Open. When the 2000 season came to a close, Gillis was No. 291 on the world money list, with $219,242. But the grueling schedule and lingering hurt from his failed marriage had taken a toll. “I just got run down,” Gillis said. “I spent 269 hours on planes that year. I was playing everywhere, trying to deal with the divorce and trying to play world-class golf. On top of that, my lifestyle wasn’t the best.” At the Brazil Open in Sao Paulo in March 2001, Gillis began to feel ill as he was completing a sec- ond-round 67. Fighting through nausea and light- headedness, he made it back to his hotel. He was alone in a distant country, trying to com- municate with a hotel staff and doctor who spoke Portuguese. He thought he might be dying. Against the Brazilian doctor’s advice, Gillis flew back to Michigan that Sunday night. There he stayed for five weeks, undergoing a battery of tests. The first week of May, under self-imposed pres- sure to get back to work, Gillis flew to England for the Benson and Hedges International. He made it through one practice round, slept for 12 hours and “woke up with the shakes.” So it was right back to Detroit, where another series of tests revealed Gillis was afflicted with a form of the Epstein-Barr virus, which causes infec- tious mononucleosis. With that, his fourth season on the European Tour was over. The prescription for recovery was rest, a more nutritious diet and more rest. Gillis entered a couple of mini-tour events last fall, and he made it to the second stage of PGA Tour Q-School. “Then I just wiped out (at the sec- ond stage) in Orlando,” he said. Meanwhile, in the first good news he had heard in what seemed like forever, Gillis was granted a full medical exemption to play on the European Tour in 2002. By then, his stamina was returning, and he was eager to jump back into the fray. “I’ve won at every level I’ve played, and I want to win on the European Tour,” he said. “I like to fin- ish what I start.” To keep his European status, Gillis must win a tournament or finish among the top 115 on the Order of Merit. To accomplish the latter, he’ll likely have to earn nearly 190,000 euros (about $175,000 U.S.). So far, he’s made 13,166 euros, cashing checks in two of five starts. The May 9-12 Benson and Hedges International Open in England was the sec- ond of four tournaments in a row for Gillis. Now he’s heading home to attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open; his European Tour status exempts him into the sectional round. Finishing second at the NGA/Hooters Tour’s Deer Brook Classic in Shelby, N.C., this spring “proved to me how much Europe has hardened me and polished me as player,” Gillis said. “I also real- ized that I’m more relaxed when I’m here (in the States). I can get up in the morning, read the sports pages and do my own thing. That stuff is big — I don’t think I realized how big.” Gillis said he’ll do his best to retain his European Tour card, but his game plan is to “come back home and see if I can open another door.” He definitely plans on giving PGA Tour Q- School what he hopes is a lucky seventh try. “I’m a big believer that when you’re ready, you’ll get there,” he said.

Most businesses advertise for the following reasons: * sell a specific product * sell a service * increase customer traffic * increase sales volume * keep the business name before the public * inform the market of new products/ services * build image in the market * to combat competition How do you design an ad that sells? Start by making your ad easily recognizable through distinctive use of art (logos, graphics), layout and typeface in comparison to your competitors. Keep it simple. The layout should carry the reader’s eye through the message easily and in proper sequence - from headline to illustration to explanatory copy to price to store name. Avoid overuse of typefaces, overly decorative borders and large areas with small type. Many advertisers make the mistake of thinking more is better and try to jam too much information in the space they have purchased. All this method does is make the ad visually unappealing and confuse the potential reader. A highly effective way to draw the reader’s attention to an ad is with an illustration. Studies have shown that an ad with artwork that takes up 50% or more of the ad space increases readership by as much as 37%. Equally important is the headline - it’s a key part of the sales message which draws the reader into the rest of the ad. Keep these simple tips in mind next time you’re working to create and effective ad.
