Should a City councillor’s salary be comparable with that of a mailroom clerk? Right now they are, but Pick- ering’s committee of the whole, made up of the mayor and mem- bers of council, doesn’t seem to think they should be, and coun- cil will make a final decision Monday night. Committee members voted Monday to bring their pay pack- ages to what Mayor Wayne Arthurs says a little closer to those of top executives at City Hall or a board of directors for a corporation the size of the City. “(The current) $20,000 for what’s required of this job just wasn’t worth it,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land. “We do it on a full-time basis, we live and breathe it.” A 20- to 25-per cent pay raise, up to 24 months severance in the event they lose an election or resign their position, and RRSP contributions matched by the City of up to nine per cent of their salary, are all a part of the new remuneration and benefits package. Calling the raise and new benefits “appropriate and re- sponsible”, Mayor Arthurs said council pay should reflect the real opportunities in the private- sector given up to serve con- stituents. He also said the public often views council as overworked and underpaid for the role it plays in the community. A clerk’s report to council says it is “ironic” that despite the fact they are leaders of the mu- nicipality, the mayor’s salary is comparable to a roads mainte- nance worker or construction in- spector and councillors to a part- time parking control officer or print-mailroom worker. The new package includes a graded pay scale where a mayor in his or her first year of office would receive $54,000, $58,000 in their second year and peaking at $60,000 for the third and any subsequent consecutive years. Currently, Mayor Arthurs makes $50,000 a year, plus the salary he and regional councillors re- ceive for Durham duties. Under the new pay scale, councillors in their first year would make $22,000, $24,000 in their second year, and $25,000 for their third and any subsequent consecutive years in office. Currently councillors make $20,000. The severance package would pay members of council one month of salary for every year of consecutive, uninterrupt- ed, full service on council, to a RON PIETRONIRO News Advertiser photo Riding in style PICKERING –– Melissa Grant and daughter Samantha enjoy a thrilling ride in the Scrambler during a weekend of fun and games at the annual Frenchman’s Bay Festi- val.

Pickering council plans wage hikes Hart a hit with his classmates Student’s essay earns visit from Blue Jay, Robinson daughter BY NICOLE MILLION Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING ––More than 400 Pickering elementary school students turned their small gym into the SkyDome last week. Students at Vaughan Willard Public School, all wearing Toronto Blue Jays baseball hats, shouted “OK, Blue Jays, let’s play ball” while anxiously awaiting Sharon Robinson, daughter of baseball legend Jackie Robinson (the first African-American to break the colour barrier in Major League Baseball), and Felipe Lopez, starting shortstop for the Blue Jays. The students had one of their own to thank for the special vis- its. Gregory Hart, who’s in Grade 5 at Vaughan Willard, won a national essay contest, ‘Breaking barriers: in sports, in life’. Ms. Robinson and Major League Baseball initiated the program. “I couldn’t believe I was going to meet Jackie Robin- son’s daughter,” said Gregory in admitting he didn’t sleep the night before the visits. Gregory’s essay about hav- ing problems in school was one of three selected in the Toronto area from 7,000 entries. “I think persistence is one of the values that means a lot to me because it has helped me through the years when I have faced many difficulties,” Grego- ry wrote in his essay. Russin Quartey, special-edu- cation resource teacher, said the students rose to the challenge. “Writing is Greg’s weakness. It’s wonderful for him to finally be able to use others strategies to help him,” she said. “Kids look to the Blue Jays as role models. It shows them that if they work hard, just like the Blue Jays work hard, it will pay off.” Mr. Lopez, who’s been with the Blue Jays organization for five years, agreed. “I had role models growing up that were very important to me. These kids need someone in their lives to push them... give them an extra edge,” he said. Ms. Robinson spoke to the kids about the barriers and ob- stacles people face, and how to overcome them with the values her father used to be successful. “It’s important for kids to un- derstand that obstacles are a part of life, but that we can overcome them,” said the director of edu- cational programming for Major League Baseball. Gregory’s proud family was also on hand for the event. “This is an exceptional mo- ment, a once-in-a-lifetime op- portunity,” said Tom Hart, Gre- gory’s father. “To have our son’s efforts bring the Blue Jays to the school, it makes us very proud.” ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Vaughan Willard Public School student Gregory Hart was the most popular kid in class after penning an essay that won him a visit from Blue Jay star Felipe Lopez (right) and Sharon Robin- son, an executive with Major League Baseball and the daughter of legendary Jackie Robinson. Catholic board dips into reserves Budget draft calls for funds to get Durham through review BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham’s Catholic school board intends to use almost $5 million in reserves to balance next year’s budget, banking on a review of the edu- cation funding formula resulting in more money in the future. The first draft of the Durham Catholic District School Board’s budget was made public at Mon- day’s board meeting. “The rainy day has arrived for the use of working funds,” business superintendent David Visser told trustees. The working funds reserve is the board’s only discretionary reserve fund and will be serious- ly depleted by next summer if trustees carry through on staff’s recommendation. From more than $9 million last August, the fund would drop to roughly $3 million in August 2003. Education director Grant An- drews, responding to north Durham Trustee Fred Jones’s concern about drawing heavily from the fund, said he shared it. “Reserves are not limitless, and when you use reserves to balance, particularly an operat- ing cost, you know that they’re going to run out, so at some point in time you have to pay the piper, face the music,” he said. Mr. Andrews said boards across Ontario are finding it “ex- tremely difficult” to operate within the limits of the Province’s funding model. He said the Province has recognized shortcomings in the implemen- tation of the transportation and special-education funding areas, adding he expects the latter to increase in the 2003/04 school year. If the funding formula re- view, to be completed in under five months, does not result in grant increases, he painted a gloomy picture of where the board will be in a year’s time. “We’ll actually be forced to make some dramatic cuts for the GRANT ANDREWS Ontario boards finding it ‘extremely difficult’. See DURHAM page A4 See CITY page A4 Ajax bank among locations hit over 18-month period BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM ––Christine White, married construction worker turned transgender bank robber dubbed the Unisex Bandit, has been ordered to cool her heels in federal penitentiary for eight more years. Born Anatoli Ivan Misura, the son of Belgium immigrants, the 52-year- old woman was sentenced Tuesday for her cross-country crime spree, the magnitude of which Mr. Justice Edwin Minden called “almost stag- gering.” Ms. White, who court heard un- derwent a series of sex-change proce- dures in the 1990s following her di- vorce, pleaded guilty last month to committing 27 bank heists in four provinces during an 18-month span. She also pleaded guilty to 12 counts of wearing a disguise and using an imitation firearm during the commission of an offence in a “glob- al plea” heard in Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice in Whitby. Court heard Ms. White was unable to land legitimate work after her gen- der transformation and operated a beauty salon and an escort service. Feeling shunned by society and un- able to make ends meet, she turned to a life of crime to support herself, court was told. Judge Minden noted Ms. White was no ordinary bandit and highlight- ed the meticulous planning and so- phistication that went into the holdups, including studying individ- ual banks, mapping out escape routes and scouting out police stations. “In short, robbing banks was her full-time occupation,” the judge said. Wearing various male disguises, Ms. White terrorized tellers in 17 municipalities across the country from May 1997 to November 1998, coolly passing holdup notes and threatening victims with a starter’s pistol that looked like a semi-auto- matic, court heard. Several times she left a fake bomb on the counter of the bank. The heists netted her more than $70,000 in total. Ms. White knocked off banks in Durham Region on three occasions, robbing the downtown Whitby Sco- tiabank two times, Sept. 26, 1997 and Feb. 20, 1998, as well as the Westney Road Bank of Montreal in Ajax on Aug. 5, 1998. Police finally nabbed the elusive robber Nov. 18, 1998 when she crashed her car during a pursuit in Belleville. In 1999, Ms. White pleaded guilty but the pleas were struck when she changed her mind and fired her lawyer prior to sentencing. In an 11th-hour development Tuesday, just prior to sentencing, Ms. White fired her fourth lawyer, John Gale, and requested her recent pleas be struck. In a 20-minute diatribe, Ms. White said her pleas were entered “under compulsion” and complained of nu- merous perceived violations of her rights. Judge Minden, calling it a case of “déjà vu,” refused the request. The judge determined Ms. White deserved an 11-year sentence but he reduced the term by three years, awarding her extra credit for pretrial custody due to the excessively “harsh conditions” she was subjected to while in jail. Ms. White spent the last 10 months confined to an 8-by-4-foot windowless cell in the Whitby Jail segregation unit as a result of fears for her safety. Ms. White, who is currently pen- ning an autobiography, was described in a presentence assessment as hav- ing “severe personality disorder of the narcissistic type.” A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 12, 2002 ‘Unisex bandit’to serve eight years for bank robbery spree Community Care marks anniversary June 20 DURHAM ––Celebrate with Community Care Durham at its 25th anniversary and annual general meeting at Cullen Gardens in Whitby June 20.

The National Strategy on Community Safety and Crime Prevention is seeking Letters of Intent from organizations interested in applying for project funding to reduce crime and victimization BY NICOLE MILLION Special to the News Advertiser DURHAM —They’re on their own now. The Deohaeko Support Network, a non-profit or- ganization based in Picker- ing, has launched its new book, ‘On Our Own...To- gether’, a comprehensive community resource look- ing at the steps required to increase financial security for families with depen- dent loved ones, and to help other organizations create endowment funds. The book was unveiled Tuesday at a celebration in Pickering that also includ- ed the launch of the Deo- haeko endowment fund through the Community Foundation of Durham Re- gion. Janet Klees, family co- ordinator with Deohaeko, admitted the group started on its own process of learning while researching the book. “This endowment helps us look to the future,” said Ms. Klees. “This is a chance for us to celebrate.” Deohaeko is a group of Durham Region families dedicat- ed to ensuring their adult chil- dren with dis- abilities are able to live meaning- ful lives in their communities. Since its estab- lishment 12 years ago, the group has pub- lished two books aimed at assist- ing other fami- lies and groups, designed and built Rouge- mount, a co-op- erative housing community, as well as raised money for vari- ous projects. “For such a small organiza- tion, we have been able to achieve many in- credible things,” said Ms. Klees. At the book launch, guests received free copies, which are also avail- able at no cost to interested indi- viduals and groups across Canada. The group be- lieves communi- ties are stronger and better when they include and welcome all members of so- ciety, said Ms. Klees. She added she hopes people will be attracted to Deohaeko’s vision and be compelled to do- nate to the en- dowment fund. “As time goes on, and the parents get to be elder- ly, people will need more money. “We didn’t see that money coming from the government, so we found a way of doing it for our- selves,” she said. BY TIM FORAN Staff Writer UXBRIDGE ––The fight was over within seconds but memories of it will last forever. Attendees at a weekend field party in Zephyr are in shock this week after 24-year- old Jessie Owen Gray, of Mus- selman Lake, was stabbed to death during the post-prom bash. “There was so much blood that you couldn’t tell (where he’d been stabbed),” said an Uxbridge Secondary School student who witnessed Mr. Gray’s body being dragged away after an alleged fight with another man. The student did not wish to be named. “It was awful to look at.” Sheila Buffan, who owns the property where the party was held and whose daughter attends Uxbridge Secondary, said Monday afternoon the family is distraught at the death. She declined further comment until police have completed their investigation. Students from the high school said the annual party, held for the past three years at a 10-acre farm on Zephyr Road, was usually safe. Almost all of the 350 students who at- tended the official Uxbridge Secondary School prom Friday night at Ontario Place attended the field party later on, said an OAC student from the school, who also wished to remain anonymous. “It’s the main party for the prom,” said the OAC student. He said the large party - at- tended by up to 500 people, ac- cording to Durham Regional Police - included musical guests and DJs who performed on a stage set up on the back of a tractor trailer. In previous years, most students and party- goers spent the night drinking before camping out in tents on the property, said the student. “I’m sure if you want to get wasted out of your mind, it’s a good party,” he said. This year’s revelry ended around 4:20 a.m. after Mr. Gray was stabbed. Police de- tained hundreds of party-goers until the early morning while conducting their investigation. Peter Morris, the principal of Uxbridge Secondary School, described the mood of students this week as “very subdued.” He stressed the field party was not sanctioned by the school board and noted he had told police three weeks ago of the party. Uxbridge councillors and the mayor expressed concern Monday about reports the or- ganizers of the party had charged $10 admission to the event. If admission was charged, Regional Councillor Susan Para said, “it’s totally illegal.” She said the party should have been classified as a commer- cial venture and would have therefore required council’s approval. She noted an applica- tion for a similar field party on Brock Road had been turned down by council in the past. Uxbridge’s building and bylaw department is looking into the matter, said Coun. Para. One nearby resident to the party-holders said Zephyr-area residents had been concerned the annual bash was becoming too big. “Kids have had parties for years, but this has become much more than an Uxbridge party,” the neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said. “It’s more of a free-for- all.” Police have charged a 19- year-old Scugog man, Carey Patrick Cleyndert, with sec- ond-degree murder in connec- tion with the stabbing.

Referring to a list of pro- grams staff had requested, but that were dropped from the bud- get, Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira lamented the loss of some specific initiatives, includ- ing $8,000 in funding targeted for the board’s ‘sharing of excel- lence’ conference and series for staff and parents. “The reality is we would like to be able to do everything but you have to operate close to your means,” said Mr. Andrews. He suggested the budget is far from a bare-bones document. “It’s a pretty rich budget, a very rich budget because it’s considerably above the funding level we have been provided with,” said Mr. Andrews. The first budget draft does not include almost $3 million in school renewal and repair pro- jects principals had requested, though that part of the budget has increased by more than $400,000 from last year. Mr. Visser noted that while 35 more educational assistants (EAs) were requested, only 19 were included in the budget. The other 16 positions will be re- viewed and there may be a change, he said. Also in the special-education area, the board plans to hire the equivalent of 4.75 staff mem- bers, including a social worker and a child and youth counsellor. As well, Mr. Visser said the Province has not provided enough funds for boards to keep pace with inflation.

The Durham Catholic District School board plans to appoint a new Oshawa trustee at a June 19 special board meeting. The va- cancy was created when former trustee Stan Karwowski resigned last month after making an inap- propriate comment in an e-mail to a supporter of gay Oshawa high school teen Marc Hall. Education director Grant An- drews said there has been no shortage of applicants for the job. “We had a considerable num- ber of inquiries with respect to the vacancy and we currently have 14 applicants,” he told trustees at Monday’s board meeting. Mr. Andrews said the game plan is to begin interviewing the candidates at 5 p.m. on the day of the special meeting. The board’s seven sitting trustees, by a simple majority, will decide who gets the job. Mr. Andrews invited all trustees to take part in the inter- viewing process, and said a trustee who plans to do so should attend all the interviews to be fair to the candidates. “The intent is the trustee must be in attendance for all the inter- views to be able to vote,” he said. But Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey and north Durham repre- sentative Fred Jones said a trustee could vote regardless of how many interviews they at- tend. Mr. Andrews said it’s his rec- ommendation trustees be there for all the interviews in order to vote, but noted “it’s the board of trustees who rule the board” and trustees could motion otherwise. Board chairman Mary Ann Martin agreed with Trustee Jones the Education Act “most likely” does not prevent a trustee from voting. But “out of fairness for the applicants” she agreed with Mr. Andrews, noting the format has been used in the past when inter- viewing trustee and supervisory officer applicants. “I’m not suggesting this is the case, but some trustees may al- ready know who they want to vote for,” replied Trustee Jones. Responding to Trustee Jones, student representa- tive David Byrne said “to walk in with a bias would be unfair to any of the can- didates.” “I plan to be here for it all,” said Trustee Jones. “But having said that, if a trustee is late, I still be- lieve they have a right to vote.” “I would say if that per- son’s late, let their conscience be their guide,” answered Trustee Martin. So they could vote, Trustee Jones said. Mr. Andrews said trustees Jones and Corey were right, adding, “our bylaws are silent on this issue. “Technically you’re correct, each trustee is entitled to a vote. But I caution against taking a vote that is not an informed vote.” Trustee Martin said trustees would be given a list of the can- didates on interview day and can submit questions that would be asked of all the applicants.

Dave Johnson said the pub- lic turned out in droves and the festival had very little in the way of problems. “The weather was perfect and we had a good turnout,” he said. “Saturday night may have had less people than in past years, but that’s because the tremendous increase in security deterred the troublemakers.” The heavy security presence was noted by several festival- goers, but Mr. Johnson said that’s the reality of keeping the grounds secure in today’s world. “We need to ensure the safe- ty of everybody coming to the festival. Safety, that’s the most important thing,” he explained. “It’s a sign of the times, the po- lice asked for it, and the local residents asked for it.” Overall, he called the event a “success” and said plans were already being made for next year to be even better.

I am a single mother. My son, Chaz, is eight years old. I am a customer service representative. I dropped 64 lbs. of fat in 11 short months. My story is so remarkable. I would like to share it with you. By Tania Olsson My cheeks burned with embarrass- ment as I stared at the television screen. We were watching a recent family video. “I’m huge!” I gasped. I had always been tall and trim in high school. I was on the swim team and volleyball team. I was shocked and appalled to realize how fat I had become. My folks never allowed junk food in the house. When I got old enough to make my own food choices, I went hog wild. Chips, ice cream and soda pop were my routine. When I was pregnant I started eating for two. After Chaz was born I cooked for two and ate for four! I used food as comfort. I told myself it was just baby fat. It would go away. But it didn’t go away. I was get- ting fatter every week. With fat came anxiety and depres- sion. My self-esteem was nil. I could see folks turning sideways to squeeze past me. I’d cringe inside. My weight made me crazy. I refused to eat in public. I knew what people were thinking...Look at what you’re eating...no wonder you’re so fat. Go ahead, honey, have another cheeseburger. I used to be so hard on fat people. Now I was fat, hurt and desperate. Dieting Nightmares I was always trying the next fad diet. I tried grueling exercise routines. It would never stick. When I didn’t feel the results, I’d get discouraged. The cravings were unbearable. I lost 30 pounds twice with weight loss drugs. My weight shot back up so fast it made my head spin. The drugs set me on an emotional rollercoaster. I couldn’t bear the thought of a third go around. Nothing I do works, I told myself as I sat on the couch with a gallon of ice cream. What’s the use of trying? Ray of Sunshine One day a close friend encouraged me to try hypnosis. I was skeptical. “I’ve heard they get great results,” she said. I could only hope. The free screening was like a ray of sunshine. My consultant was car- ing and concerned. The office is professional and comfortable. Their level of confidentiality was impressive. I held my breath for the sales pitch. It didn’t happened. They explained the program in detail. Left it for me to decide. The fee was much lower than I expected. I signed up and lost 64 lbs. in 11 short months. I lost ten inches off my waist. My dress size plunged from a bulging 22 to sleek size 12. Whole New Me! Immediately after my first session my appetite dimin- ished. I feel completely satis- fied with small, healthy portions. Next my food choices changed. When I was fat I would not touch raw vegeta- bles. With hypnosis I have developed this strange attrac- tion to carrots! They’re as appealing as potato chips used to be. I know I will never, ever gain the weight back. Now that I’m thin and happy with my body, I can’t think of a single rea- son to overeat. Hypnosis Delivers Benefits! I used to feel sluggish by 9:00 a.m. I was so depressed. Even my hair drooped. Since hypnosis I look and feel young, alive and vibrant. My skin is glowing. My hair is thick and shiny. I have tons of energy. I’m light on my feet. My family and friends all want to know how I did it. They want to be like me. The other day a co-worker said, “I wish I could have even half your ener- gy.” That was the best compliment of all. When I was fat I smoked skinny cigarettes to make me feel thin. Quit- ting smoking was a side benefit I had not expected. I breathe better. Move better. Enjoy more activities. I hated walking in and out of plus size stores. I would rush my shopping bags to the car. Every- body knows you’re fat, but come on, that’s the big girl’s store. Shopping for a size 12 is the most wonderful feeling in the world. I no longer worry about eating in public. When eyes are on me, I know they’re thinking, “Hey, she’s got it together.” Chaz is tickled to see my biceps. We recently went rock climbing. We enjoy rollerblading. There’s no way I could have done that before. Recommends I suffered when I was overweight. I lived in a state of overwhelming help- lessness. I was out of control. It was frightening. Hypnosis was the smartest invest- ment of my life. My consultant took the time to listen to my fears. I never felt pressured. My success was their main concern. I got more than I expected from my private hypnosis sessions. I feel won- derful about myself. If it wasn’t for hypnosis I wouldn’t be enjoying my slim, healthy body today. Don’t think I’m a lone success story either. I meet other successful clients all the time. My only regret is that I waited and suffered for months. You don’t have to suffer another second.

(at Finley) Suite 7, Ajax Ontario Liberals know all about ‘friendly fire’ — they have been damaged by their federal party be- fore and there are indications it will happen again in an election next year. The federal Liberals have launched into a no-holds-barred brawl for leader between Prime Minister Jean Chretien and former finance minister Paul Martin, the reverberations of which will con- tinue at least a year and probably more. Ontario is due for an election in 2003. New Progressive Conserva- tive Premier Ernie Eves could hold it off for a year, but presumably will welcome the chance to call one when Liberals across the coun- try are calling each other nasty names and Liberal will mean mean-spirited and divisive. Ontario Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty is trying to mitigate damage to his party by asking his MPPs to avoid getting deeply in- volved in the federal squabbling, because this could create animosi- ties that would make it difficult for Liberals to work together in his campaign. But this bolt from above should not be a surprise to Ontario Liber- als — they should be accustomed to their federal party making elec- tions more difficult for them. In the 1999 Ontario election won by then Progressive Conserv- ative premier Mike Harris, Liberal backbench MPs almost lined up to praise Mr. Harris’s right-wing poli- cies. One said he would not rush out to help the provincial Liberals because he had many views on taxes similar to Mr. Harris’s. Another said, “I like parts of what Mr. Harris is doing” and a third asked with dubious reason- ing, “Why should I help Mr. McGuinty? His chances are not too good.” Just before the same election the federal Liberals also increased transfer payments to provinces and it could not be argued they should have delayed such public policy to help a provincial opposition party. But did federal Treasury Board president Marcel Masse need to declare publicly this was a coup for Mr. Harris? The best-remembered impact by federal Liberals on an Ontario election was in 1975, when John Turner resigned as finance minister only a few days before the vote, charging prime minister Pierre Trudeau was not doing enough to fight inflation. This showed Liberals divided and gave Tory premier William Davis, who for want of provincial issues also had argued the federal Liberals were lax in fighting infla- tion, an opportunity to say the fed- eral finance minister agreed with him. Ontario Liberal leader Bob Nixon maintained Mr. Turner could have hung in comfortably enough a few more days and his Liberals would have won the elec- tion. The federal Liberals helped Mr. Davis win another election in 1981 when they could not resist praising him for the work he put in helping to secure a new Constitution. Just before another election in the 1980s the federal Liberals, who are in government more and able to offer better career advancement, lured four of their Ontario party’s most promising younger MPPs, in- cluding Sheila Copps and Don Boudria, to run for them. This left the Ontario Liberals to fight an election without a single sitting woman or francophone MPP and looking unrepresentative of the community. Jim Bradley, then Ontario Liberal deputy house leader, complained to the federal party such raiding was a major rea- son provincial Liberal parties could not win government. There was an Ontario election in which the federal Liberal gov- ernment raised gasoline taxes 10 cents a gallon, which helped bring the provincial Liberals’ campaign to a quick stop. There also was the Ontario election when Mr. Trudeau tried genuinely to help, descending on a rally at Mr. Nixon’s farm in a heli- copter, like a messiah, but re- porters found federal taxpayers paid for the partisan flight and that Liberal campaign stayed firmly on the ground. Ontario Liberal leaders have spoken out. David Peterson, before he became premier, called Mr. Trudeau a “millstone” and a prede- cessor, Stuart Smith, refused to use the word Liberal on signs and let- terheads, saying federal Liberals had made it “a very negative word”. But the Ontario Liberals also made mistakes of their own and they have to accept their federal party has a different agenda and al- ways looks after itself first. With friends like these...

But not nearly as tough as for the millions of children living in poverty in this country. With Mr. Chretien surely thinking about his own exit strat- egy –– whether before or after one more election –– there is a tremendous legacy he can leave to Canadians, should he have the courage and determination to do so. That gift to Canadians would involve a comprehensive and generous federal plan to eradicate child poverty in this wealthy nation. Shamefully little has been done to help millions of poor children who suffer each day from malnutrition; who worry about having a roof over their heads; who must deal with the trauma of a parent or parents stretched to the financial and emotional breaking point. Parliamentarians talked a very good game in November 1989 when then Oshawa MP and NDP leader Ed Broadbent moved a private member’s bill supported unanimously in the House of Commons to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000. All agreed the problem was a travesty in a country with the abundance of Canada. That our youngest and most innocent citizens were stuck in misery, forced into great disadvantage so early in life, was considered a critical problem. But since 1989, there has been precious little talk and vir- tually no action on the problem. Governments battled through tough economic times and sought tax cuts and deficit reduc- tion/elimination as prominent goals. That may have been ac- ceptable in the early and mid-1990s but there is no excuse for government inaction over the past two or three years when governments have raked in multi-billion dollar surpluses. It’s high time to use some of that surplus money to help our most needy. That’s where the Prime Minister, who has shown of late that he is absolutely in charge of the government, can do some good for our youngest citizens. There will be at least $6 billion or $7 billion in extra funds to put towards debt reduction and into social programs. To make a serious dent in the child poverty problem, a large per- centage of that money would have to be directed to ongoing and sustaining programs which would directly affect our chil- dren. Should the Prime Minister, who spoke in 2001 of dedicat- ing his government to an attack on child poverty, live up to his pledge, the future of many in this country will be much brighter. There are hints the government will get moving in the fall with a program attacking child poverty. But, as in 1989, we’re still waiting for action. Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 12, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Masking the real issue of deregulation To the editor: Re: ‘OPG disputes price hike,’ June 9. Pat O’Brien, manager of public affairs at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station, seemingly fails to realize the Government of Ontario is using him as a scape- goat. Although the provincial auditor Erik Peters was apt in urging the government to take an active inter- est in the delays and cost overruns with regard to restarting the four Pickering ‘A’ nuclear reactors, it was obvious he was grasping at straws when he claimed these fac- tors could drive up electricity prices. The Pickering station, as Minis- ter of Energy Chris Stockwell has said, currently supplies Ontario with an excess of electricity. The real reason for the increase in elec- tricity prices is the privatization of Ontario’s energy market. In Cali- fornia, where prices were expected to decrease after privatization, there was a 40-per cent increase. Knowing that Ontario’s market operator is directly modelled after California’s, one can’t help but be excited about the future of energy in Ontario. The provincial govern- ment has unfortunately chosen the innocent Pat O’Brien as a scape- goat, and masked their efforts through the persistence of the min- ister of energy. Maybe the govern- ment has finally realized taking away Ontario’s right to reliable power at cost, it has ruined its chances of seeking another man- date from the people of Ontario. Vern Maw, Pickering Child porn must be fought To the editor: Child pornography is growing around the world and in Canada with devastating results for the child victims. In January 2002 alone, over one million porno- graphic images involving children were seized by police in Ontario. These images contained real chil- dren, not animation, and all de- picted children and even infants being abused in brutal and per- verse ways. What kinds of factors are caus- ing such an increase in child pornography? For two years end- ing in January 2001, Canada’s child pornography law was in limbo, having been declared un- constitutional because it restricted freedom of expression. The growth of the Internet and the un- certainty of the law allowed peo- ple to produce and distribute this material without being arrested. Since 2001 the law has been upheld as constitutional, but the market for child pornography continues to grow: many people who had taken one look out of cu- riosity have become addicted. Last March, John Robin Sharpe, the B.C. man who wrote stories describing sexual acts and torture between adults and young boys, was acquitted of possessing writ- ten child pornography because the stories had “artistic merit”. This is an outrage. Any glorifi- cation of pedophilia is wrong and should be outlawed. Child pornography will continue to grow unless legislators and en- forcement bodies get more sup- port from the public to fight against it. Our children and com- munities are at stake.

At that time, the expansion study was not conducted due to budget constraints, In June 2001, Bitondo Markets Limited submitted Draft Plan of Subdivision Application SP-2001-04, Zoning by- law Amendment Application A 16/01 and Minister’s Zoning Order Amendment Application 18-ZO-01901-08 to permit the development of 13 hamlet residential lots with detached houses on the west side of Westney Road, south of Greenridge Drive. Following the Statutory Public Information Meeting held on October 18, 2001, to receive public comments on these applications, comments were received suggesting that a hamlet expansion study should be conducted for the Hamlet of Greenwood to investigate whether an expansion of Greenwood of this nature would be appropriate. A map of Greenwood is provided below. At this time, Pickering Planning & Development staff would like to invite interested residents, landowners (including the applicant) and any other interested parties to discuss the scope of an expansion study to evaluate a minor expansion to the south part of the Hamlet of Greenwood at the following public meeting: What: Public Meeting When: June 25, 2002 - 7:30 P.M. Where: Greenwood Community Centre One Week prior to the meeting, a proposal for the scope of the study will be circulated to anyone on the circulation list for the above-noted applications and to anyone else who requests this information.

Official Plan Amendment Application OPA 02-001/P City Initiated: Rouge Park Neighbourhood Study Implementation Statutory Public Information Meeting On April 10, 2000, the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Study was presented to Pickering Council. Council adopted development guidelines, an environmental master servicing plan and an implementation strategy for the Area that included a request that non- developable lands owned by the Ontario Realty Corporation be transferred to an appropriate public authority with a conservation mandate, and directed that a Statutory Public Information Meeting be held to consider an Official Plan Amendment to implement the results of the study. A map showing the location of the subject lands is provided below. A Statutory Public Information Meeting has been called to provide an opportunity for members of the public to comment on a City initiated amendment to the Pickering Official Plan designed to implement the findings of the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Study. It is anticipated that Planning Committee and Council will consider these amendments later this year. If you wish to comment on this matter, you may do so at the meeting when this item is presented. If you would like a copy of the Information Report, which contains a copy of the proposed official plan amendment, it may be obtained from the Clerks Department at the Civic Complex on or after Friday, June 14th, 2002.

The Council of the City of Pickering has authorized a Growth Management Study that will provide for a study of those lands in the rural area from the Seaton Lands in the east to the York/Durham Town Line in the west, within the northern boundary of Highway 7 and the southern boundary of the C.P. Belleville Rail line. The Growth Management Study will lead to a review of the current Official Plan and any existing studies conducted either for the City, Region or Province and the review will form the basis for how Pickering will manage future growth pressures. A Working Group has been established comprised of Members of Council, Pickering staff and various representatives of the community. The task of the Working Group will be to draft detailed terms of references for the Growth Management Study. Council is seeking one representative of landowners in the Agricultural Assembly to participate on the Working Group. The Agricultural Assembly is that area between Duffins Creek in the east, the York/Durham Town Line in the west, Highway #7 in the north and the C.P. Belleville Rail line in the south. Applications for appointment to the Working Group from landowners in the Agricultural Assembly should be forwarded to the undersigned no later than June 28, 2002. For further information, please contact Bruce Taylor, City Clerk, at 905-420-4611 or by E-Mail at btaylor@city.pickering.on.ca. “Peep-peep-peep “Peep-peep-peep ......”” “Jug-o-rum “Jug-o-rum ......

PICKERING COMMUNITY GROUPS & MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC are invited to attend a briefing of the City of Pickering Operations and Emergency Services Department Recreation, Parks And Cultural Services Master Plan – Draft Final Report Tuesday, June 25, 2002 7:00 pm Council Chambers at the Pickering Civivc Complex One the Esplanade, Pickering NEWS ADVERTISER, WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 12, 2002 PAGE A7 P Province promises to move ahead despite lengthy wait BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM ––A two-year fight for testing on the environ- mental effects of a north Os- hawa paper sludge berm could be ending with a promise by a local MPP that the Province is ready to act. “It’s been stated on the record in the House, in writing and in a presentation,” Durham MPP John O’Toole said follow- ing a meeting of about 300 peo- ple in Enfield, north of Courtice. Local residents, environmen- talists as well as regional and provincial agricultural and horti- cultural groups attended the meeting, says Deb Vice, co- chairman of Protect the Ridges (PTR), a local group formed to address the issues of sludge stockpiling and the practice of spreading sludge on farmland. Mr. O’Toole said he has re- ceived a commitment by the new Minister of Environment Chris Stockwell to address resi- dents’ concerns through imme- diate testing of the environment surrounding the Oshawa Skeet and Gun Club, which uses Sound-Sorb berms to protect neighbouring properties from noise. The issue extends far beyond this one sound berm, notes the MPP. PTR is worried about the po- tential effects of Sound-Sorb, a sound barrier made from paper production by-products and sand. “There is clearly a commit- ment of money and resources,” the MPP said in an interview, noting $250,000 has been dedi- cated to studying the impacts from the Oshawa site. At the meeting, the MPP promised water test results will be released within two weeks. Also, 14 test wells will be dug by July as part of a one-year groundwater-monitoring pro- gram, he said. A bio aerosol study, expected to begin last year, will start by the end of June, he added. While PTR is encouraged by Mr. O’Toole’s announcement after repeated disappointments over the past two years, the group isn’t ready to celebrate just yet. “This is the third minister that has put forth promises in the past two years,” said PTR co- chairman Kevin Campbell. “Yet the Durham office of the Min- istry of Environment can’t seem to get its act together to produce results. We will eagerly await the promised actions while in- vestigating all avenues, includ- ing legal, available to us. Our patience has truly run out.” The paper waste used in Sound-Sorb comes from At- lantic Packaging. The paper company has maintained throughout the controversy that the product has been extensively tested both at the University of Guelph and through the MOE over the past decade. According to the company, the product is environmentally safe. DURHAM ––St. John’s Ambulance offers life-saving skills in a two-day, 14-hour course.

A/P PAGE A8 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 12, 2002 Individuals local organizations come together to develop green energy projects Those interested in energy efficiency have a chance to at- tend a free workshop in Ajax originally scheduled for June 16, but which is now being held later in the month.. This inspiring one-day event, sponsored by the On- tario Sustainable Energy As- sociation (OSEA) will bring together individuals and orga- nizations in the Durham/Scar- borough area that are interest- ed in developing community- based green energy projects. OSEA is delivering these workshops across Ontario and the response to date has been exceptional. At the end of each full day, enthusiastic workshop participants from different sectors have been ready and willing to work to- gether as partners on energy projects within their commu- nities. OSEA facilitators help de- velop an understanding of green energy opportunities and issues through case stud- ies, guided exercises, and open discussion. Topics in- clude organization options, green power aggregation, fund-raising, as well as the fundamentals of wind and micro-hydro generation. Energy efficiency concepts should attract municipal lead- ers as well as those with a pas- sion for environmental issues. This workshop will provide a great avenue of networking for those interested in starting a community co-operative. Attendees will receive a free resource kit. Lunch will be provided for $5 to each registered participant. Chris Coltas, OSEA volun- teer, asks anyone who would like to attend to register by phone at 905-683-6456 or e- mail at cpc2@sympatico.ca. Those interested but unable to attend can have information sent following the workshop. ❑ ❑ ❑ ‘The Green Partnership Guide’, published by Fair- mont Hotels and Resorts gives this example of energy sav- ings: With over 34,050 light fix- tures, the Fairmont Royal York has switched 1,920 bulbs in the guest bathrooms and 5,500 bulbs in the guestrooms from incandescent to compact fluorescent bulbs, saving $57,135 annually. In public areas and stair- cases, over 773 bulbs have been switched with additional savings of $23,095 a year. Ad- ditional energy measures have resulted in savings of $36,305. ❑ ❑ ❑ GREEN TIPS:Clean out your dryer lint, which can be composted, after every load, and vacuum lint from the motor, drum and pipes at least once a year. It’s good for your dryer and your energy bill. In the nice weather use a clothes- line. Plant evergreens on the north side of your house for winter protection and decidu- ous trees, such as Maple, for summer shade to the south, east and west. These shade trees reduce the need to air condition.

The “right amount” of air for your tires is specified by the vehicle manufacturer and is shown on the vehicle door edge, door post, glove box door or fuel door. It is also listed in the owner’s manual. When you check the air pressure, make sure the tires are cool - meaning they are not hot from driving even a mile. It is normal for tires to heat up and the air pressure inside to increase as you drive. ALIGNMENT Misalignment of wheels in the front or rear can cause uneven and rapid treadwear and should be corrected by a tire dealer. Front-wheel-drive vehicles, and those with independent rear suspension, require alignment of all four wheels. TREAD Tires must be replaced when the tread is worn down to 1/16 of an inch in order to prevent skidding and hydroplaning. An easy test: place penny into a tread groove. If part of Lincoln’s head is covered by the tread, you’re driving with the proper amount of tread. If you can see all of his head, you should buy a new tire. Built-in treadwear indicators, or “wear bars”, which look like narrow strips of smooth rubber will appear when the tread is worn down. Properly cared for tires can last a long time - usually from 40,000 to 80,000 miles, depending on the application. 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 Learn To Be Tire Smart AJAX: 282 Monarch Ave • (905) 427-7708 OSHAWA COBOURG UXBRIDGE Midtown Mall 1 King St. East 4 Banff Rd. & Hwy 47 (905) 434-8725 (905) 372-0561 (905) 852-0677 200x DIE CAST METAL MICROSCOPE SET 98 Pc.

Guerrieri puts on winning show for world’s top race-car drivers BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —A Picker- ing race-car driver overcame two more-experienced drivers and adverse weather to capture his maiden victory in the Canadian Formula Ford Championship race series in Montreal this last weekend. Racing as part of the Air Canada Grand Prix weekend, which featured a large crowd for the Formula 1 race on the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, Chris Guerrieri, 18, posted his first ever victory in the series under wet, treacherous track conditions. In the process, he managed to beat series stalwarts Louis- Philippe Dumoulin, from Trois-Rivières, Que. and two- time series champion Didier Schraenen, from St. Hilaire, Que. “I’ve been on Cloud 9 the last couple of days; It’s been awe- Pickering athlete, teammate Tabia Charles shine at provincial championships PICKERING —Two Pine Ridge Secondary School track athletes were flush with gold following the provincial championships in Belleville June 6 to 8. It was a banner meet for Paul Martin and Tabia Charles, two of only five Pine Ridge athletes at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Track and Field Champi- onships at Belleville’s M.A. Sills Park. More than 2,500 athletes represent- ing 800 schools competed at the 53rd annual championships — Canada’s large track and field meet. Charles jumped to a gold medal in the junior girls’ triple jump, establish- ing a new Canadian and OFSAA meet record in the process. Charles’s leap of 12.36 metres bettered the old mark of 12.21 set three years ago and the Cana- dian high school mark of 12.25 metres set two years ago. Incredibly, the record-setting performance is well short of her personal best of 12.95 me- tres. In addition to the triple jump, Charles also ran to a silver medal in the junior girls’ 100 metres and placed fourth in the 200m. Meanwhile, Paul Martin was simply unbeatable in the hurdles. He earned gold in the senior boys’110m event in a time of 14.62 seconds after qualifying in first place in the preliminaries. His second hurdles gold came in the 400m following a time of 54.20 seconds. Simone Martin, Paul’s younger sis- ter, also posted a medal-winning effort. Simone captured a silver medal in the midget girls’ 80m hurdles in a time of 12.26 seconds after posting the fifth- best qualifying time. Pine Ridge track coach Amanda Miles-Berry noted having five medal winners from five athletes was quite an accomplishment. “The whole team is tremendously dedicated and hard working, but Paul and Tabia had the outstanding perfor- mances. Both are returning next year and are looking forward to returning,” Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER JUNE 12, 2002 ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo One foot over the line OSHAWA — Amber Cushnie of William Dunbar Public School is in full stride as she crosses the finish line while competing in the Durham Elementary Athletic Association (DEAA) Track and Field Champi- onships at Oshawa’s Civic Stadium last Thursday. Cushnie was run- ning in the 13 and 14-year-old co-ed relay race. Senior girls’squad crowned with provincial ‘AAA’title in Hamilton BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —The St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Mon- archs girls ruled the soccer pitch in Ontario this season. The Monarchs captured gold at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) ‘AAA’ Girls’ Soccer Championships with a decisive 3-0 victory over Holy Cross from St. Catharines in the championship game Saturday. Eighteen of the top girls’ soccer teams in the province competed at Hamilton’s Mohawk Sports Com- plex June 6 to 8. Althea Jones scored 21 seconds into the championship contest to put the Monarchs in flight. The quick goal had the net effect of deflating Holy Cross — a team St. Mary had defeated in earlier pool play. Eight minutes later, Tonia Coletti scored to extend the lead, while Jones added an exclamation point with a second- half marker. St. Mary was simply dominant at OFSAA, winning all seven of its matches. In the process, the Mon- archs scored 24 goals and allowed one. Ashley Visser recorded six shutouts. OFSAA gold seemed like a far- off illusion as little as a year ago when the Monarchs were beaten in the semifinals of the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) playdowns. Looking back to that time, head coach Marc Vis- conti said the talent was there, but the ability to produce a disciplined, all-round team effort wasn’t. This year, however, a change in attitude, a renewed commitment to teamwork and the lingering disap- pointment of a lost season were the critical ingredients in the Monarchs’ golden season. “We told them to check their egos at the door (at the start of the sea- son),” said Visconti. “We told them if they thought they could walk through the year with no competition they were sorely mistaken. I think we learned from our mistakes in the past. We told them to play as a team, the way we know how to play, and I think that was the difference. That, and we had a team full of talent. I think we looked so much more pre- pared than the other teams were.” In the semifinal game Saturday morning, Danielle Tanner — with her 10th goal of the tournament — and Brittany Gaudet scored in a 2-0 win over A.B. Lucas of London. The Monarchs scored a 3-0 quar- St. Mary Monarchs reign over soccer pitch See ST.

MARY from page B1 ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Members of the St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs senior girls’soccer team celebrate a job well done at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) ‘AAA’ Soccer Championships in Hamilton. St. Mary defeated Holy Cross from St. Catharines in the final. some,” said Guerrieri from his Pickering home Monday after- noon. “We’ve been waiting since Mosport to make sure we were ready for this race. We did as much as we could to be ready. It was a product of hard work. We knew what we had to do and it all came together. “To do it in front of a huge crowd, with all the FI drivers and mechanics watching, it was a re- ally important race to win.” Guerrieri — who drives for the LM La Scuderia racing team — noted some quick thinking from his mechanics just five minutes prior to race time possibly gave him the best chance to win. With the rain starting to pour while on the starting grid, the mechanics made some fast alterations to the car’s suspension, making the car easier to handle on the slick rac- ing surface. “It’s all about how the car han- dles in last five to eight laps of the race,” he explained. “With the tires wearing down, it’s all up to the suspension to do the work. You have to set up the suspension for the last five laps. They made a superb setup of the car and it real- ly worked out for us.” Qualifying in third spot, Guer- rieri got off to a slow start. Schraenen broke away from the pack and carried as much as a five-second lead in the early stages of the 15-lap event. Mean- while, Guerrieri and Dumoulin jockeyed for second, with Guerri- eri’s NGCC/Cherry Beach Sound Vector taking over sole posses- sion on lap six. Two laps later, Guerrieri passed Schraenen and later held off a hard-charging Du- moulin to take the checkered flag. Guerrieri started the race series season in Mosport several weeks ago, finishing second behind Du- moulin. The series reverts to Saint-Eustache, Que. in three weeks. In July, the series will be one of the featured races during the annual Molson Indy weekend in Toronto, which brings the top Indy car drivers to the city. Guerrieri hopes to make the jump to the USF 2000 racing se- ries in the United States next sea- son. she said. Leigh Cushnie posted a sixth-place finish for Pine Ridge in the senior girls’ 400m hurdles and was eighth in the 100m hurdles. Pine Ridge’s senior girls’4-x-100m relay team of Charles, Cushnie, Martin and Allison Bourne finished ninth in the preliminary meets, missing one of eight spots for the final. Other noteworthy performances by Pickering high school athletes: • Dunbarton High School’s Nikkita Holder captured the gold medal in the midget girls’ 80m hurdles in a time of 12.02 seconds and also earned bronze in the 100m, and a fourth-place finish in the 200m. • Dunbarton’s Jaime Peters won bronze in the midget boys’ 100m and also placed fifth in the 200m; • Dunbarton’s midget boys’ 4-x- 100m relay team of Peters, James Thompson, Robert Bell and Jamal Lindo finished eighth; and • St. Mary Catholic Secondary School’s junior boys’ 4-x-100m relay team of Triston Walker, Duane Howard, Derek Stevens and David Fer- dinand finished seventh.

The Ajax-Pickering bantams im- proved their Central Ontario Minor Football League record to 2-1 after recording a 24-12 victory over the Etobicoke Eagles at Burnhamthorpe Collegiate Institute. In the second game of the after- noon, the Dolphins’ collegiate (under-20) squad fell to 0-2 with a 27-12 loss to the Eagles In the bantam contest, the Eagles emerged from the first half with a 12- 6 lead. In the second half, however, the Dolphins fought back to score three unanswered touchdowns in a game played under extremely hot and humid conditions. Joe Dublin led the way with a pair of touchdowns. Erik Glavic and Dan West found the end zone for one major apiece. Scoring in the collegiate game for Ajax-Pickering was Adam Halket with a touchdown and Mike Amato with two field goals. The bantam and collegiate squads play at Pine Ridge Secondary School in Pickering on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16, against the Markham Raiders, starting at noon.

Yo u know what you are doing but nobody else does! SHARK SIGHTING Greg Norman had a big week around our nation’s capi- tal. The Forecaddie thought it was terrific to see The Great White’s 47-year-old dorsal fin on the weekend leaderboard at the Kemper Open. Norman also unveiled plans for a $20 mil- lion course in Leesburg, Va., and he fired a few barbs at the PGA Tour, which asked for his membership card at the end of last season when he fell shy of the required 12 PGA Tour starts. Norman said he was told he could accept only seven spon- sor exemptions this season. The Tour says that’s just not so. In May, the policy board raised the maximum number of starts for non-members from seven to 10. Norman’s starts in the Masters, PGA and U.S. Open tournaments do not count against his 10. So, in essence, the Shark can play 13 events this year. Because he received a 10-year Tour exemption with his 1993 British Open triumph, he can re-obtain his card for 2003 by playing 12 events. The $64,000 question is, did anyone bother to tell the Shark all this? ‘WAYNING’ INTEREST Wayne Grady,the 1990 PGA champion who turns 45 in July, has the golf bug again. Now it’s a matter of trying to find someplace to play. Grady will do his best to piece togeth- er a competitive schedule, even if it means Monday qualifying on the PGA Tour or playing on the Buy.com. Grady wants to play after a few years enjoying being home and five or six years of feeling indifferent about competing. “It’s hard to explain to any- one,” Grady said. “If you don’t want to play and you don’t have it in your heart, then it doesn’t matter what anyone says, you’re not going to play any good. You’re trying to compete against 150 other guys that would kill you for a spot, so if you don’t have it in you, it doesn’t matter. I didn’t have it for a long, long time and I did- n’t want to be out here. I just wanted to go home.” TAP-INS AND LIP- OUTS Kudos to 66-year-old Gary Player,who will try his hand at 36-hole British Open quali- fying now that he has lost his exemption as past champion, which expires after 65. —Golfweek LAST WEEK’S QUESTION What “affordable” public golf course (green fees in the range of $100 or less) would get your vote to host a U.S.Open? Number of votes:881 Course percentTorrey Pines GC (Neb.) 33% Pumpkin Ridge (Ore.) 20% Cog Hill GC (Ill.) 13% Barefoot Resort (S.C.) 8% Bulle Rock (Md.)7% Longaberger GC (Ohio) 6% Wild Horse GC (Minn.) 4% Stone Ridge GC (Minn.) 3% Brown Deer Park (Wis.) 2% Memorial Park (Tex.) 2% Tension Park (Tex.) 2% Bringing U.S. Open to Bethpage shows public golf has come a long way he scene is an Italian restaurant in Munich, Germany. It’s late August 1999, two years before Retief Goosen would take the golf world by storm with his U.S. Open victory at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Okla. In a corner alcove, Zimbabwe’s Mark McNulty and Belgian sports psychologist Jos Vanstiphout are discussing how best to han- dle pressure down the stretch in a major championship. Goosen calmly sips his coffee. McNulty’s and Vanstiphout’s voices grow louder. Then McNulty leaves the restaurant, slamming the door behind him. Vanstiphout follows him out. Goosen remains at the table, unperturbed by both the argument and the departure of his dining companions. “Man, I was cross,” McNulty said the next day. “I was just so wound up that I had to get out of there.” And what about Goosen? “I don’t think he even knew we were arguing. He never gets involved in stuff like that. That’s Goose. The restaurant could have been burning down and Goose would have handled it as a minor irritation rather than a major incident. It takes a lot to light a fire under the Goose.” ■■ ■ Sitting in the midst of a blazing argument might not compare to the pressure of a major golf championship, but it does give a glimpse into the sort of personality it takes to win. Last year, Goosen’s surprise victory in Tulsa proved he could handle the pressure. This year, it will be no surprise if he puts up a stout defense of his title June 13-16 at Bethpage State Park’s Black Course. Since his 2001 win, Goosen has claimed three more titles and finished second to Woods at the Masters. Through the end of May, he led the European Tour’s Order of Merit with more than $1 million in only eight tournaments. For this quiet South African, years of hard work are pay- ing off. ■■ ■ Ernie Els grew up playing against Goosen and probably knows him better than any other player. “Retief doesn’t like confronta- tion,” Els said. “He’d rather stand over a 3-foot putt to win a tour- nament than answer a difficult ques- tion from the press.” Louis Martin, chief executive of the South African Tour, has been watching Goosen’s game since the late 1980s. He agrees with Els. “He doesn’t like fanfare or having to make public speeches,” Martin said. “I mean he did well when he gave the talk at this year’s European Tour dinner (where he was recipient of the player of the year award), but I can assure you he was dread- ing that for at least two days beforehand.” Goosen doesn’t deny that he doesn’t care for the hoopla that goes with winning a major championship. The thought of trading places with No. 1-ranked Tiger Woods is almost unbearable for Goosen. “I can’t imagine what it’s like to be Tiger Woods,” he said. “I don’t want to. I’m sure he has a great life, but I don’t think I would like to live the way he’s living, with bodyguards everywhere.” Goosen is recognized in his homeland, but hardly ever in England, where he spends half his time. In South Africa. Goosen has always been second fiddle to Els, and he does- n’t mind one bit. “Because Ernie won the world junior championship, he has natu- rally attracted all the attention from an early age. That’s fine with Retief,” Martin said. ■■ ■ Goosen’s transformation from tournament winner to major champion is well docu- mented. There are plenty of stories on how Vanstiphout finally got Goosen to believe in himself. Despite Goosen’s supposedly placid nature, he used to beat himself up on the course. “He really didn’t know how good he was,” Martin said. “Everyone said there would be no stopping him, because he always had the talent. What people don’t realize, though, is that he was his own worst enemy. He would get so uptight. If he hit a bad shot, he wouldn’t be able to let it go for about three or four holes, by which time the damage was done. It’s only since he started to handle adver- sity, to bounce back from a bogey, that he’s become a win- ner. Els said Goosen defi- nitely will be a chal- lenger at Bethpage. “He has grown so much in confidence since the U.S. Open. Just look at what he’s done since last June. He’ll be a factor this year and in every major championship for a lot of years to come.” More impor- tant, Goosen agrees. “I see myself with more of a chance of win- ning it now than I did last year,” he said. At Bethpage, the quiet South African has a chance to accomplish something not even compatriots Gary Player or Els have: successfully defend- ing a major. If he does, just don’t expect cartwheels on the 72nd green. BY JAMES ACHENBACH Golfweek nce upon a time, private clubs dominated the American golf landscape. The first 71 U.S. Opens were contested at private clubs. Finally, in 1972, the national champi- onship went to Pebble Beach Golf Links, a course that the public could play — for the hefty price of $350. The U.S. Open was staged at another pricey resort course, Pinehurst No. 2, in 1999. Still, in the 101 Opens so far, no “true” public facility has played host to the national championship. But times have changed, and golf has changed as well. Never has there been such a symbol of “golf for the people” as the 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, N.Y., a five-course facility owned by the state of New York. Regular green fees at Bethpage Black, the Open lay- out, are $31 and $39 on weekends. Any senior 62 or older can play for $19 during the week. Public golf has come a long way since Bobby Jones won his Grand Slam in 1930. At that time, golf in America was synonymous with private courses. When the National Golf Foundation conducted its first tabula- tion of U.S. courses in 1931, the results were predictable: 1,243 public facilities and 4,448 private facilities. Fast-forward 70 years to 2001. Ti ger Woods, who grew up without the privileges of Bobby Jones, is golf’s newest hero. The game has diversity of gender, race and socioeconomic class. The 2001 NGF numbers: 11,391 public facilities and 4,315 private facilities. David Fay, executive director of the U.S. Golf Association, grew up as a public-course golfer in Tuxedo, N.Y. He has possessed a lifelong fondness for Bethpage. Fay initiated the USGA’s interest in bringing the Open to Bethpage, even though technically he doesn’t have a vote. (U.S. Open courses are picked by the USGA championship commit- tee and formally approved by the USGA executive committee.) “If it doesn’t work out,” Fay joked, “I’m prepared to hear it called Fay’s Folly.” Fay’s Fandango may be more appropriate. Interest in this U.S. Open is unparalleled, and Bethpage will play host to more people than any course in the event’s 102-year history. “My three revenue generators,” said Bernadette Castro, commissioner of parks and recreation for New York, “are parking, camping and golf. This is going to send golf through the roof. Everybody is excited.” The USGA put about $3.5 million into Bethpage. Most of the money was used for renovation, a project master- minded by architect Rees Jones, who donated his services. The USGA also agreed to reimburse the state for lost green fees during the renovation and the tournament. Castro admitted that bids from year-round concessionaires were high- er because of the U.S. Open, and she said the state also receives revenue from the sale of USGA merchandise. “We have to watch every nickel. We can’t afford to give away any tax- payer money,” Castro said. New York gladly made one conces- sion: It would not raise green fees at Bethpage Black for three years, except to keep pace with inflation. “Taking the championship to a pub- lic facility with reasonable green fees makes a lot of sense,” Fay said. “Is it a symbolic move? Yes. There can be some good things that come out of symbolism. Clearly the majority of people in the U.S. are public facility players, and the majority of the golf facilities in the U.S. are public facili- ties. “One could almost say that it’s the quintessential public facility. It proba- bly is safe to say that the atmosphere is gonna rock.” THIS WEEK’S QUESTION Patty Berg holds the LPGA record for winning the most major championships.

Friday, June 14 to Sunday, June 16, the annual festival will be back in the north Clarington community, filling the streets, parks and fairground with the sound of music. “We are trying to put togeth- er a major international festival with the best of amateur and professional musicians,” says organizer Dave Climenhage. He admits taking on a project this size, with an annual operating budget of about $100,000, is a challenge. “We’re very pleased we’ve been able to do this three years now. We need to grow the audi- ence. We defi- nitely had a lot of growth last year, about 2,000 over the weekend. A lot of people are from the GTA but we do see people from Quebec and the States.” This year the festival received a $70,000 grant from the Province’s Tril- lium Foundation in recognition of the front-end costs of starting up this type of cultural event, says Mr. Climen- hage. The grant follows a $55,000 contribution from Tril- lium last year. “They’re really trying to get us established. They realize in the early years the audience size is too small to pay the bills,” he says. “But they won’t do that forever.” The Trillium Foundation’s mandate will allow it to provide financial support of the festival for up to five years, says Mr. Climenhage. In that time, the event’s organizers hope to bring enough attention to the festival to begin carrying operation costs on its own. That’s going to mean getting the message out about the quality of the venue. “People don’t realize what a high-level program this is,” he says. Already the festival has won a number of awards and is “probably the most important festival going on,” for Canadian band music, says Mr. Climen- hage. “It’s harder to raise an audi- ence in Clarington than say, Toronto. On the other hand, from a historical point of view, it all happened in smaller com- munities,” so Orono is an ideal venue. From about 1790 until the end of the 1930s, bands with brass, woodwind and percussion instruments performed regularly in small towns throughout the country. It’s this tradition of the concert band as a mainstay of the community that the festival is celebrating. This year’s festivities begin on Friday at 7:30 p.m. on the Orono Fairgrounds with a spec- tacular military tattoo featuring some of Canada’s most hon- oured military bands and contin- ue through the entire weekend with a parade kicking off Satur- day’s line-up of top Canadian bands. Sunday at 10 a.m. a multi-faith service begins a day of community band music. The event has also attracted “one of the best brass musicians Canada has these days,” says Mr. Climenhage. Alain Trudel will not only be “performing some solos impossible for most mortals” Sunday morning but will lead a master class for brass musicians from both high school and community bands at Bow- manville High School Friday af- ternoon. Tickets for the event are $15 for Friday, $15 for Saturday, and $10 for Saturday after 10 p.m. Sunday’s events are by dona- tion. Children under 16 are free when accompanied by an adult. Tickets can be purchased at the festival or at participating retailers in Orono. More information is available at www.townbandfestival.com.

T.A.G.S. is a completely volunteer program. T.A.G.S. also assists families by helping them to select an appropriate pet that will suit the needs of their family environment. From house training puppies to behavior training , volunteers are ready to make sure that the new dog makes the transition smoothly. All animals adopted through our program are veterinary health checked and vaccinated. Dogs are spay and neutered and the adoptive family will receive an 8 week behavior training program. As our program does not currently have a shelter, we depend on foster homes. Foster homes provide a loving environment for the animal until they are adopted to a forever home.

PET GROOMING INC. FURRY STYLES City thinks ‘globally, acts locally’ BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —The City of Pickering is adding its name to a growing list of Canadian municipalities calling on the federal govern- ment to commit to a treaty reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Kyoto Protocol was negoti- ated in December 1997, setting new legally binding emission re- duction targets for greenhouse gases around the globe. While countries agreed to dif- ferent individual reductions, Cana- da committed to six per cent below 1990 levels, to be achieved some- time between 2008 and 2012. The U.S. committed to seven per cent and the European Union to eight per cent, but the U.S. has since de- cided not to meet its commitments. The protocol will enter into force once a combined group of nations, representing 55 per cent of global greenhouse gas emis- sions, have ratified it. More than 70 countries have al- ready ratified the treaty, but the 55 per cent mark has yet to be met. Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has promised Canada will ratify, but some opposition exists, claim- ing the costs of reducing the gases are too high and will hit some areas of the country harder than others. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) says every- day activities such as driving cars, heating homes and operating busi- nesses affect the Earth’s climate and the quality of the air through the release of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. “When we burn gasoline to drive our cars, natural gas to heat our homes, coal to make electrici- ty, or cut trees faster than they can be replaced, we add greenhouse gases to the air,” said Jack Layton, a Toronto City councillor and for- mer FCM president in a letter to Canadian municipalities urging them to endorse ratification of the protocol. “Scientists have sounded an alarm. If we don’t slow the amount of pol- lution going into the air, our climate will change leading to more extreme weather and disruption to communities... Municipal gov- ernment support for ratification of the Kyoto Protocol could make the differ- ence as the Government of Canada decides whether to fol- low through on its international commitment, a decision expected by year-end.” And, following Mr. Layton’s urging, Picker- ing has joined the fight. “This is one of those issues where we need to think globally and act locally,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland, as Picker- ing council unanimously supported ratifying the protocol June 3. “This is our opportunity to be a part of something bigger than our munici- pality.” P PAGE B10 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, June 12, 2002 A bay of fun Pickering celebrates annual Frenchman’s Bay Festival Local service industry employees matched their skills in the Molson bartenders’ competition.
