Dead bird
likely West
Nile victim
Vendors not sold
on plans to
redevelop site
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —Vendors
at the Metro East Trade Cen-
tre are working on borrowed
time.
The giant building, home
to the Pickering Markets, will
be demolished to make room
for big box retail stores, pend-
ing final approval from Pick-
ering council. With the end
drawing near, most vendors
seem uncertain of what life
after the flea market will be
like. Many remain uncertain
and question whether Picker-
ing would be better served
with something other than the
traditional Pickering land-
mark.
Paul Walsh, owner of
Wood Wizard and Sun An-
tiques store and the operator
of three booths at the markets,
has made his living buying,
selling, and trading antique
furniture.
“We’re not against redevel-
opment,” Mr. Walsh said in
his booth Sunday, where he
has been working every week-
end for the last seven years.
“We just want to stay on this
site.”
Demolition was approved
by Pickering’s committee of
the whole July 29. Council-
lors decided to wait until Sep-
tember to ratify the move at
council to allow more time for
a deal that could move the
market to a new home at
Durham urges
caution as Province
provides funds to
combat problem
BY JACQUIE McINNES
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––As Durham
awaits final results on a dead
crow believed to have died
from the West Nile virus, the
Province has announced $9
million to combat the disease.
On July 22, a dead crow,
discovered in Clarington, was
sent for testing. The bird is ex-
pected to test positive for West
Nile Virus, says Dr. Donna
Reynolds, Durham’s associate
medical officer of health. The
bird is the first this season in
Durham believed to have fallen
victim to the virus that is car-
ried by mosquitoes, which can
infect humans.
“This presumed positive
West Nile virus result is con-
sistent with what has been oc-
curring across the province as
the majority of Ontario health
units now have presumed or
confirmed positive birds,” the
doctor says. Last year, the first
Durham bird to be found with
the virus was picked up Aug.
29, more than a full month
later than this year’s result.
“This gives us an indication
West Nile virus is being estab-
lished in Ontario,” says Dr.
Reynolds. “The likelihood of
stopping the disease in the
mosquito and bird population
is low. What we are trying to
do is reduce the risk to hu-
mans,” she says.
To that end, the Ontario
government announced a $9-
million cash infusion for detec-
tion and prevention of the
virus. Of the $9 million, $7.5
million will go toward pump-
ing up the efforts of local
health boards for control mea-
sures against larval and adult
mosquitoes, while another $1.3
million will be used for addi-
tional surveillance, public edu-
cation and local mapping and
assessment for possible ‘larvi-
ciding’.
The remaining $200,000
will fund standby costs for pes-
ticide applicators, as a contin-
gency measure.
Durham does not yet know
how much of that money will
come here, says Dr. Reynolds.
However, she says, the Region
will be required to match any
dollars it does receive through
the grant. However, because
Durham had positive test re-
sults on dead birds last sum-
mer, it already received some
provincial funding at the be-
ginning of the season, says Dr.
Reynolds. “In many respects
Durham is ahead of other
health units because of the ad-
ditional funding,” she says.
In Louisiana this summer at
least five deaths are being at-
tributed to the virus, which is
most dangerous to the elderly
and others with compromised
immune systems. Most healthy
people will only experience
flu-like symptoms if they con-

OPP lay 113 charges in weekend Durham blitz
Stolen property
discovered during
traffic stop
DURHAM —Ontario
Provincial Police laid over
100 charges in Durham as
part of a long weekend high-
way traffic blitz.
Between the evenings of
Aug. 2 and 5, the ‘Safe jour-
ney patrol’ resulted in 104
charges under the Highway
Traffic Act –– 57 of them for
speeding — and another nine
Criminal Code charges.
Among those charged were
one driver ticketed for doing
165 km/h in an 80 km/h zone
along Hwy. 12, and another
for driving 156 km/h in a 90
km/h zone on Hwy. 35/115.
One motorist was charged
with possession of stolen
property over $5,000 after
being stopped for speeding.
OPP Constable Julia Mc-
Cuaig said the number of
charges locally was about the
same as previous long week-
ends this year.
“If anything, it might be
down a little bit, but it was
busy with the collisions,” she
said. “It’s unfortunate, we do
always arrest a number of im-
paired drivers; this weekend
there were four.”
Officers responded to 20
collisions, seven of which left
12 people injured, two of
them seriously.
Durham thoroughbreds
survive Woodbine blaze
BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Describing
the tragic Aug. 4 fire at Wood-
bine Racetrack as his “worst
nightmare,” Bernard McCor-
mack is a saddened but grate-
ful man.
Twenty-eight of the most
valuable animals in the world,
many of them born and trained
here at Windfields Farm, es-
caped a horrible death in the
early Sunday morning blaze
which has claimed more than
30 racehorses to date. Two of
the surviving racehorses be-
long to Mr. McCormack,
Windfields Farm’s general
manager.
“Our farm trainer basically
had all his horses at Woodbine,
28 (thoroughbreds),” says Mr.
McCormack. “They all sur-
vived, thankfully. They were in
7A barn (at Woodbine). Many
of those horses came directly
from Windfields Farm, includ-
ing two of my own.” His two
plus five others have been
brought back here to the Sim-
coe Street North stable follow-
ing their ordeal at the famous
racetrack northwest of Toron-
to.
“It is the worst nightmare of
anyone who loves horses,”Barn manager Pam Gavan grooms Embossed, one of two
fillies owned by Cara Bloodstock Stables that were saved
from injury in the Woodbine fire Sunday morning.
Paul Walsh, who operates three booths at the Pickering Markets, says vendors aren’t
opposed to redevelopment, they just want to have a place in it.
See FLEA page A2
See DURHAM page A2
See WEST page A3
says Mr. McCormack. “It’s an uncon-
ditional love. We love and care for
these horses.” The number of year-
lings, mares and foals is 300 at the mo-
ment.
He says he is greatly relieved his
two fillies are well physically and
credits grooms and security personnel
working at Woodbine last weekend for
saving his and many other horses
housed in the 128-stall, H-shaped
barn.
“The halters are left on at night so
they will be able to catch the horses in
the event of a fire,” explains Mr. Mc-
Cormack, “because they panic, the
horses become so panicked.
“Our horses got out of there and
fortunately were led to an adjoining
barn with a ringed fence,” he contin-
ues. “All 28.”
Mr. McCormack says there are
questions concerning the fire and he
hopes something can be learned from
the tragedy. The cause of the fire is un-
known and the Ontario Fire Marshal’s
Office is investigating. In July 1990, a
fire broke out in the same Woodbine
barn as the one that burned on Sunday.
Windfields did lose a horse to smoke
inhalation in that incident which
claimed a total of six thoroughbreds in
what was a suspected case of arson. No
one has ever been arrested.
“The horses smelled of smoke for
weeks,” recalls Mr. McCormack, “but
one of them went on to be the dam of
a Queen’s Plate winner.”
Hopes are high any injuries suffered
by the horses on Sunday won’t be too
serious. One Windfields filly has a bro-
ken tail and another has puncture
wounds on her hock, but the real worry
concerns mental trauma.
“These are very valuable animals,”
says Mr. McCormack. “Their blood
lines are very, very good and by com-
ing back to Windfields Farm where
they were born, we are giving them a
break. We did some training this
(Tuesday) morning, a light gallop for
two of them and they came back with
no coughing ... They’re getting the
help they need.
“Everyone in the racehorse commu-
nity is pulling together,” he adds. “Our
clients, friends and employees are af-
fected by this. It’s painful.”
Established in the early 1920s by
Colonel R.S. McLaughlin, Windfields
is known in horse racing circles for
breeding and developing Queen’s Plate
winners.
Squires Beach Road and Bayly Street.
Many vendors believe there is still
a place for the markets in the commu-
nity.
“I don’t think moving to a new lo-
cation is the best answer,” Mr. Walsh
said. “It’s all about location, location,
location.”
He believes vendors would lose a
large part of their market in a move.
Reserving a place on the current site
for the vendors is the best solution, he
said.
“Right now it’s all up in the air,” he
said when asked about the next move
for vendors. “I’ve thought about it,
worried about it, I just have to take it
month by month.”
By her booth ‘Sweet Memories’‚
filled with collectables and memora-
bilia, Shirley Sills smiled as she
looked back on the more than a
decade of memories she has collected
at the flea market.
“This is very sad,” she said. “It’s al-
most painful. You make a lot of
friends here, both with other vendors
and from regulars who come out of the
thousands who visit.”
New retail and grocery stores may
bring in more revenue, but Ms. Sill
said Pickering will lose something
those businesses can’t replace.
“This is a family establishment.
There’s something here for everyone.
It’s one of the last places where a fam-
ily can spend the day and not have to
pay an entrance fee,” she said.
Starting out by collecting and sell-
ing items at yard sales and other small
venues, Ms. Sills made her way into
the flea market selling and buying as a
hobby. Since then, she has carved out
her niche. Like Mr. Walsh, she isn’t
sure what’s next for her business.
“It’s been a good life, a great
hobby. It’s sad to see it go,” she said.
Rolf Steinbach, owner of two
booths, said he has voiced his con-
cerns to councillors and hopes reloca-
tion of the vendors will be a win-win
situation for everyone.
Having no markets at all will have
too much of a negative impact, Mr.
Steinbach said.
“People come from the United
States and all over to do regular busi-
ness. This will
have a ripple ef-
fect on every-
thing,” he said. If
the thousands of
visitors normally
coming to the
flea market stop,
other local busi-
nesses will also
get hurt, he said.
And, it isn’t
just the vendors
who are upset.
Wendy
Sutherland, a Ni-
agara Falls resi-
dent, grew up in
Pickering with
the markets. She
was visiting the
city when she
heard about
plans for the site.
“Home isn’t
home without
the flea market,”
Ms. Sutherland
said as she pe-
rused clothing
racks at one
booth.
Her last visit
to the markets
was four years
ago, and Sun-
day’s could be
her last one.
“I don’t know
about the impact
it’ll have on the
community, but I
know I’ll miss
it,” he said.

Learn To Be Tire Smart
PRESSURE - It is important to have the proper air pressure in your tires, as under inflation is the leading cause of tire failure. 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 a penny into a tread groove. If part of the Queen’s head is covered by the tread, you’re driving with the proper amount of
tread. If you can see all of her 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.

DURHAM from page A1
AJAX —A fresh cut
lawn is a homeowner’s
treasure.
But if not careful, a
homeowner could cut more
than his lawn.
Thom Evered, chief fire
prevention officer for Ajax,
said people are hurt every
year in lawn mower acci-
dents.
“Many of these injuries
are burns caused by care-
less use of the mower,” he
noted.
Before using or cleaning
your mower, Mr. Evered
suggested following some
safety tips, including not
smoking while refuelling.
“Gas is a flammable liq-
uid, which vaporizes easi-
ly. Once vaporized, it can
burn or explode,” he said.
Wait for the machine to
cool before refuelling, he
stated, adding any spilled
fuel should be wiped up
immediately. And, never
add gas to a running
mower.
Store and pour gas care-
fully and keep it in an ap-
proved container, he noted.
“If you have a gasoline
fire, forget fighting it,” Mr.
Evered said. “Get everyone
away from it and call the
fire department.”
With an electric mower,
check the cord for frayed
or damaged spots.
“Frayed insulation
added to a metal mower,
damp or wet grass, can
cause lethal shocks or se-
vere electrical burns,” he
said.
When it comes to sharp-
ening the blade or doing
electrical repairs, Mr.
Evered said leave it to the
professionals.
Should you do your own
cleaning and tune-ups,
make sure to disconnect
the spark plug or remove it
before beginning, he said.
If the blade is turned by
hand, the mower could
start if the spark plug is
still intact.
“Never leave a mower
without turning it off,” he
added.
“It takes only a few sec-
onds to run inside and only
a few seconds for an unat-
tended mower to cause se-
rious injury.”

amazing story. I
believe that my
weight loss discov-
ery can make your
dreams come true,
too!
Instant Results
I lost 4 lbs. that
first week. After that,
my weight kept
melting away. In one
month I’d taken off
16 lbs. My total
reduction was 72 lbs.
and four dress sizes.
To be honest, I don’t
even remember los-
ing my weight - it
was that fast and
easy.
Hypnosis eliminat-
ed my cravings and
poor eating habits.
I’m free from the
hassle of dieting for-
ever! I don’t have to
go to meetings,
count calories, or
weigh my food. I
simply enjoy
healthy, flavourful
foods like fruits and
vegetables, and
drink lots of water.
It’s been as if my
mind is on autopilot.
To be honest, I still
don’t understand it. I
just know that my
weight melted away
at an average of 3
pounds a week and I
never felt deprived.
Life Is
Wonderful!
When I look
at old pictures,
I can’t believe
that was
me.
People
tell me
I look
like
I ’ve
had a
facelift. My
husband
says I seem
twenty years
younger.
I’m even
saving
money! My
grocery bill
has gone
down
because I no
longer buy
cookies, cake
and ice cream.
Now that I
have lost
my
weight with hypno-
sis, I can’t even fath-
om ever gaining it
back.
Saved My Life
The truth is,
Positive Changes
saved my life. If
it weren’t for
this program, I’d
probably be over
200
pounds
and mis-
erable.
That’s
the rea-
son I’m
sharing my
story, and the
reason I’m
recommend-
ing Positive
Changes to you.
I know that
you’re skeptical. I
was, too. But my
skepticism van-
ished when my
weight started melt-
ing off effortlessly.
I’m confident that
hypnosis can do the
same for you.
Change Your Life
Today!
So set your skepti-
cism aside. Stop hes-
itating. Pick up your

Doug
Cavanaugh
elected head
of police
association
DURHAM ––Doug Cavanaugh, a
longtime Oshawa patrol constable,
called “bittersweet”his election to
president of the Durham Regional Po-
lice Association, the seat left vacant
by the sudden death of his friend and
mentor.
The 45-year-old veteran officer,
vice president of the association since
1997, took over as interim president
after Terry Ryan, the popular police
leader, was killed in a head-on motor
vehicle collision May 30 in north
Whitby.
A man has been charged with im-
paired driving causing his death.
Mr. Cavanaugh was voted presi-
dent for the remainder of Mr. Ryan’s
term, which runs through 2003, after
an election was held last week by the
association, representing 945 police
and civilian
members.
There was one
other candidate,
Constable Jerry
Trimm.
Mr. Ca-
vanaugh, to be
sworn in during
an association
board meeting
today, called
the victory bit-
tersweet given
the tragic cir-
cumstances. He
said Mr. Ryan
was an irre-
placeable
leader whose
“shoes will
never be filled.”
Mr. Cavanaugh joined the force in
April 1978 and has spent his entire
police career as a patrol officer work-
ing in 17 Division in Oshawa.
The top issue on the agenda, he
said, will be preparing the association
for contract talks. The current collec-
tive agreement expires at the end of
2003.
“I have enjoyed working with
Doug over the past several years in his
former capacity as vice president (of
the association),”said Durham Chief
Kevin McAlpine,“and I know he will
continue to be an aggressive, strong
voice for our officers.”

West Nile virus risk
low for humans
tract the virus. Dr. Reynolds
emphasizes the risk to hu-
mans is still quite low and
no human cases have yet
been reported in Canada.
The high incidence in
Louisiana may be due, in
part, to high mosquito,
human and bird populations
there, suggests Dr.
Reynolds.
Horses, which for some
reason are more susceptible
to West Nile virus, have
also succumbed to it in the
United States but other ani-
mals such as cats and dogs
seem to resist it more effec-
tively, says Dr. Reynolds.
“If human cases are
going to occur, they gener-
ally happen in August and
September,”she says. “Our
focus now is to avoid peo-
ple being bitten by mosqui-
toes.”
Some tips for avoiding
bites include:
•Stay indoors from dawn
to dusk or wear light-
coloured long sleeve shirts,
long pants, socks and a hat
when outdoors during these
times;
•apply insect repellent ac-
cording to directions but not
on children’s hands or near
mucous membrane areas
such as eyes and mouth. Re-
pellent should not be used
on infants under two years
of age;
•don’t allow outside
water to stand for more than
four days, cover rainwater
barrels with mesh or screen
and drill holes in containers
so water cannot collect;

Staff Writer
DURHAM —The reasons why
Durham should divert food waste out of
the garbage stream are clear, but how to
do it is less so.
At a meeting Aug. 6, regional staff
members were expected to debate the
merits of various containers and the lin-
ers to be used inside them for transport-
ing scraps from the kitchen to the curb
when Durham introduces a new waste
system in four municipalities this fall.
The only problem has been deciding
on the best way to get the organics to the
curb.
“They’ve pulled us back from vaca-
tions to deal with this,” Peter Watson,
Durham’s waste manager, said prior to
Tuesday afternoon’s meeting. Staff is
formulating a recommendation that will
go to regional politicians for a final de-
cision. The intention is to call a special
works committee meeting and possibly
a special regional council meeting this
month.
“I don’t know if this can wait until
September (when council is scheduled
to reconvene). We’re running into some
timing issues,” he said.
The program is supposed to start this
October in Clarington, Uxbridge, Scu-
gog and Brock along with an expanded
blue box collection system, Mr. Watson
said. If all goes well, the other four mu-
nicipalities could come on board with
organic collection programs in 2003.
Unless a decision can be made and a
manufacturer can get the nod to begin
production of containers for about
40,000 Durham households, implemen-
tation of the collection could be post-
poned for the third time.
Initially the Region planned to start
the new collection system this past
spring, but the logistics of organizing it
pushed the start date to September. The
launch date was delayed yet again, until
October, following a regional works
committee meeting in May where coun-
cillors were unable to reach a consensus
on the type of container and liner. Some
councillors thought a large, aerated con-
tainer that requires no liner and would
hold yard waste in addition to kitchen
waste would be ideal. Others felt the
bulky four-foot high carts too cumber-
some for rural residents to negotiate
down long driveways. As well, they
noted, the need to rinse out the contain-
ers may be off-putting.
At that time, staff recommended a
smaller, more portable container that
would be used only for kitchen scraps.
The container would be lined with a
plastic bag eliminating the need to rinse.
But Pickering Councillor and works
committee chairman Rick Johnson says
plastic liners are not environmentally
friendly because the plastic can contam-
inate the organic product created from
the scraps.
Suzanne Elston, a Courtice resident
and executive director of the Recycling
Council of Ontario, agrees.
“Plastic clearly is probably the worst
option,” she said, noting plastic is a sin-
gle-use product made from a non-re-
newable resource.
The conundrum, suggests Mr. Wat-
son, is trying to make the system easy
enough so people will participate while
retaining the ultimate goal of ecological
advancement.
“There’s no question plastic poses a
concern in debagging. The general feel-
ing is small plastic bags are undesirable
in food waste,” he said.
However, he added, if the compost-
ing facilities have the right equipment,
debagging prior to composting can en-
sure the end-product compost is left
pure while leaving residents with clean
hands.
Ms. Elston concedes the convenience
factor is a valid argument. “One of the
reasons the blue box was so successful
is it is so darn easy. The primary issues
are, what are people going to use and
what is best for the environment.”
One liner option may be a new gen-
eration of paper bags that manufacturers
claim are more resistant to leakage than
their predecessors. Another option is the
biodegradable bag that is primarily
made of maize starch. Its proponents say
it is fully biodegradable but promise, in
proper storage conditions, it will not
break down prior to reaching the curb.
The downside for both of these options
is it will cost residents significantly
more than plastic bags.
Mr. Watson suggests, ultimately, the
question may be just how much resi-
dents are willing to pay to be ecologi-
cally sound.

A new Town is born
The Corporation of the Town of Ajax became official
Jan. 1, 1955. The first council, front row left to right:
Ken Smith, John Mills, Benjamin de Forest ‘Pat’
Bayly, Roger Conant, and Bolton Falby. Back row, left
to right: Claude Rowland, William Parish, William
Laycock, William Scarff, and Patrick Sheehan. Bayly
Street was named after Pat Bayly, elected as the first
mayor. Throughout the war, Mr. Bayly served under
William ‘Intrepid’Stephenson as head of British secu-
rity co-ordination at Camp X. Briefly returning to his
position as professor at the University of Toronto, in
1950 he moved to Ajax to establish his own electron-
ic firm, Bayly Electronics. Mr. Parish would serve as
mayor from 1958 to 1963. His son Steve is currently
serving his second term as mayor. Mr. Falby would
serve as clerk-treasurer for many years, the Falby
Court apartment complex is named in his honour. Ken
Smith worked at the DIL plant, was elected mayor in
1955 and served two terms.

Proud members of
If there is any one group of people in our society that de-
serves a rent-hike break, it’s our seniors.
Those thousands of residents in Durham who are spending
their last years in long-term care facilities didn’t need to be
clobbered this month with a whopping 15-per cent rent in-
crease.
The huge hike, which was to come into effect Aug. 1, has
now been humanely spread over a three-year span giving
needy seniors and their loved ones more time to plan for the
jump. As it is, those in basic accommodation (four to a room)
will see their rent go from 1,353.73 per month to $1,445.58 on
Sept. 1, under the new plan. Those in semi-private (two to a
room) will now pay a maximum of $1,688.91 Sept. 1, up from
$1,597.06. In private rooms the cost will be a maximum of
$1,993.05, up from $1,901.20. The bottom line is, instead of
a $213 per month increase for all levels on Sept. 1, $92 more
will be required. The remaining $121 will still be raised but in
increases over the next two years.
The inevitable rise in costs for health care cannot, unfortu-
nately, be put off inevitably. The provision of quality health
care and comfortable surroundings for our seniors does not
come without rising costs.
But the initial decision to hammer seniors, almost all of
whom are on modest fixed incomes, with a 15-per cent one-
time increase, seemed unnecessarily cruel.
Lynne Hamilton, a spokesman for Dan Newman, associate
minister of health and long-term care, admitted the Province’s
decision to backtrack to a three-year implementation on the
increase was motivated by public outrage.
For Donna Rubin, chief executive officer of the Ontario
Association of Non-Profit Homes and Services for Seniors,
the decision to delay the increase is appropriate. “Frankly, the
government has listened and that’s a good thing.” Ms. Rubin’s
organization represents three Durham Region-operated nurs-
ing homes, located in Beaverton, Oshawa and Whitby.
The Province has kicked in $75 million more to help with
the overextended system and will use the $92 per month in-
crease to put another $25 million per year into the system.
While those who work in long-term care would like to see
more government participation and a lot more money invest-
ed in the system, the balance between how much seniors can
afford to contribute with the amount the Province will provide
is a delicate one. The decision to delay the rent hike is a good,
decent one showing compassion for those in need, but it will
not solve all the problems of a service that will only be relied
upon more and more as our population ages.
At some point, the Province will have to add more money
to a system straining to keep up.

Emissions testing
not doing the job
To the editor:
Re: ‘Vehicle emissions test about
to clean more from your wallet,’
Ju ly 26.
I am appalled the Ministry of
the Environment calls an 11-per
cent decrease in smog-causing
emissions a success. I would have
at least expected 30 to 50 per cent.
If one goes to downtown
To ronto it is quite evident most of
the smog is caused by building
emissions and diesel engines —
you know, the ones with black
smog coming out the exhaust.
Yet the ministry refuses to
admit it has erred with its target-
ing of the average motorist and
continues to harass 95 per cent of
innocent motorists with this un-
necessary and ineffective pro-
gram. There are other ways to re-
move offending vehicles without
harassing all motorists
I am all for cleaning up the en-
vironment, but forcing motorists
to hand over their vehicles for
testing is turning our country into
a police state and is not my idea
of a free country.
Obviously, Canadians have no
rights. Hopefully we will eventu-
ally have a better choice of gov-
ernments in future that will re-
frain from unleashing these mis-
guided ministries.

Accommodating
and timely plan
the best answer
To the editor:
Re: ‘It’s simple, just bring in
smoking ban,’opinion shaper col-
umn, July 26.
I read with interest Dennis
Kivlahan’s column in which he
questions why Durham council is
not better prepared to push
Durham Region restaurants into
complete non-smoking compli-
ance by September.
In a perfect world, maybe this
would be possible, but this is not
a perfect world and to just say
‘let’s do it’ is too simplistic.
Mr. Kivlahan’s article does not
answer any of the real questions
or issues that must be addressed
before any new laws can be im-
plemented. Consider:
• Will any new laws be en-
forced equally?;
• Who will enforce them?;
• Who will pay for the hiring of
the extra bylaw officers who will
be needed to enforce non-smok-
ing laws?;
• Will separate ventilated and
enclosed smoking rooms be al-
lowed?;
• Will bingo halls and legions
be exempt?;
• What about the rights of
restaurant owners in Durham and
the thousands of people they em-
ploy?; and
• What happens when I adhere
to any new bylaws and my small-
er competitors down the street
don’t? Because that’s where my
smoking clientele will go.
As a Durham resident, busi-
ness owner and non-smoker all
my life, I would be more than
willing to meet with any council
members or community groups
and help come up with a bylaw
that works for everyone, but I cau-
tion rushing in blindly is not the
answer.

Three-year phase-in on long-term care
increase makes sense, addresses needs
Being Ernie Eves means never
having to say you’re sorry.
The newish Progressive Con-
servative premier showed his
renowned capacity for smoothing
over rifts when he met the Pope.
Mr. Eves greeted the head of
the Roman Catholic church at the
airport and later had a private au-
dience.
The premier’s job includes
being with visiting dignitaries, so
it cannot be said he was hanging
on the Pope’s coattails for votes,
but he was a bit more effusive than
the call of duty requires.
Mr. Eves, an Anglican, said
meeting the Pope was phenome-
nal, a once-in-a-lifetime experi-
ence, made his spine tingle and
brought a tear to his eye.
The premier never acknowl-
edged the slightest uneasiness at
having been briefly part of a Tory
government that had deliberately
blocked a Catholic request, which
it later conceded was legitimate, in
order to win two elections.
This sorry episode started in
1971, when William Davis was a
new premier feeling he needed a
dramatic issue to win an election
and the Catholics had asked the
Province to extend its funding to
the end of their high schools in-
stead of cutting it off after Grade
10.
They had persuaded the Liber-
als and New Democrats to support
them, despite their fears that if it
turned into an issue, the non-
Catholic majority might become
alarmed and swamp them.
Mr. Davis waited until a few
days before he called the election
and rejected the call to fund to the
end of high schools on the grounds
it would be expensive and frag-
ment the education system.
By his timing, the premier en-
sured school funding became a hot
election issue, fresh in voters’
minds, and some Tories kept rais-
ing it and they almost obliterated
the opposition parties.
To ry strategists feel to this day
the resentment created against
funding won them the election.
Mr. Davis revived the issue in
the 1975 election, when the oppo-
sition parties would have been
happy to let it die. The premier
warned the Liberals, if elected,
would “open up once more the
contentious and divisive question
of support for separate schools”,
and “destroy the foundation of our
public school system”‚ and again
won. But a few years later times
changed. Mr. Davis lost his major-
ity in the legislature and was wor-
ried because Catholics were grow-
ing faster than other religious
groups through immigration and a
higher birthrate.
A new, highly political
Catholic leader also emerged in
Gerald Emmett Carter, archbishop
of the huge Toronto diocese, who
recognized the Tories had been in
government since 1943 and might
continue much longer and he
could benefit by being close to the
winning side.
Mr. Davis and Cardinal Carter
became friendly and the premier
gave a dinner to honour the cardi-
nal on his elevation to cardinal at
which the prelate stunned many,
including Catholics, by praising
Mr. Davis for being open-minded
to Catholic needs.
Cardinal Carter also turned up
at a fund-raising dinner for Mr.
Davis and his Tories at which he
asked for “a blessing on our pre-
mier”‚ and then showed up at a
picnic for a Tory minister, which
created impressions he favoured
the Tories.
The result was Mr. Davis’s last
act before retiring as premier was
to announce his government, in
which Mr. Eves was an MPP,
would support funding to the end
of Catholic high schools, a recog-
nition the Catholic vote had grown
and a reward to the cardinal.
Cardinal Carter said he became
friendly with political leaders be-
cause he liked them and not to
gain from their power, but, if
power accrued from their relation-
ship, “then one should bless the
Lord.”
Mr. Davis met the Pope soon
afterward and was not in the least
embarrassed, but said he could not
understand why the Pope’s only
words were, “Congratulations,
premier.”
The Pope may have been com-
mending Mr. Davis for being
smart enough to get on side and
Mr. Eves has done what he could
to maintain this.

WHEN CONSIDERING YOUR FALL AND SPRING ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOUR COMPANY’S BRAND.
A company’s “brand” - the image it
projects to the outside world - is a powerful
marketing tool. It can either be the
cornerstone of its success or a stone around
its neck. It should never be taken for granted
but updated and evaluated constantly.
When someone visits a business for the
first time, they get a perception of it
immediately. Once formed, it is usually
lasting. If the first impression is positive,
that person feels you’re the right kid of
company with the right kind of people;
someone they want to do business with. If it
is negative, it can be disastrous to your
ongoing success.
It’s unfortunate that so many companies
pay so little attention to the brand or image
they project, and to the perception that brand
leaves with visitors and potential clients.
When was the last time you gave your
brand the once over? An out of date brand
speaks louder than words. It makes people
question how your company can keep up
with tomorrow if you can’t keep up with
today. So here’s what you need to do:
•Put time aside and do a walk through of
your turf. See your company through the
eyes of a stranger.
•Take a long, critical look at the entrance,
yard, parking lot and signage.
•When you walk back inside, what do you
hear, feel, smell and see? Use all of your
senses. If the first thing your visitors
sees when entering your foyer is a dirty,
tattered welcome mat or streaked, dirty
windows, if it smells stale, or there is an
offensive odor, you’ve already lost.
•Check out everything from the magazines
in the foyer to the reception desk, the
visitors’ closet to office furnishings. Give
every last room the white glove test. A
well-maintained place of business is
critical to generating a favourable image.
Everything should be clean, well cared for
and current.
• Ensure that all company information sent
out is attractive, current and proofread for
spelling mistakes, errors and omissions.
People can form an opinion of your
company in many ways - in print, in
person, in correspondence or advertising,
packaging, labels and so on.
• Call your company personally. Listen
carefully to the manner in which the
telephone is answered. After all, this is
the first contact your visitor, client or
customer has with your company. It must
be a positive experience. If not - change
it.
• Make sure all staff presents your company
in the best possible light and is aware of
the contemporary, universally accepted
rules of appropriate dress, manners and
etiquette.
Your brand brings customers to your door
- and keeps them coming back. Make
sure everything about your company
shouts, “Quality lies behind these doors.”

Locals post 4-2 record,
play in championships
this weekend
AJAX —Finishing second at the provin-
cial qualifiers in Orleans, Ont. last weekend
certainly had a silver lining for the Ajax
Toshiba Raiders novice fastball team.
Fresh off a gold medal performance in
Chatham, the Raiders travelled just east of
Ottawa, for the provincial qualifiers. The
silver-medal performance qualified the team
for the provincial championships in
Kingston Aug. 9 to 11.
Ajax finished with a 4-2 record, both
losses to the gold-medal winners from
Kingston who went undefeated. While the
Raiders struggled against the older Kingston
team they played some excellent ball.
In their third game of the day, the Ajax
squad played for the gold medal. Although
the Raiders played better defence with only
two errors, the Kingston squad banged out
13 hits for an 11-1 mercy win. Chantal Cas-
tonguay and Meagan Baird both singled as
the team had only two hits.
Despite the lopsided loss, Raiders’ coach
Pat Roach was pleased with the team’s over-
all effort in the tournament.
“We achieved our goal of qualifying for
the provincial championships and the team’s
defence improved as the tournament pro-
gressed. There is no shame in a silver medal.
We plan to compete strongly in Kingston.”
The Raiders faced Kanata for the silver
medal, under the tournament setup. Kirsten
Roach pitched five strong innings in an 11-
1 mercy-rule win for Ajax. Seven different
batters had singles. Andrea Elliott, Roach
and Stephanie Nakamura scored two runs
apiece; Cassie Pesch, Castonguay, Lindsay
Hill, Kaitlyn Kraehling and Leah Dobbin all
scored one.
Ajax defeated league rivals Cobourg 11-
1 in the opener. Carol McClary earned the
win on the mound. The Raiders pounded out
13 hits and were led by Elliott, Roach, Hill
and Dobbin, all with two hits. Five other
team members had singles as the game was
called after five innings due to the mercy
rule.
In Game 2 versus Kingston,Ajax lost 10-
2, despite outhitting them 7-5. Roach led the
way with two hits, while Hill, Pesch, Baird,
Nakamura and Melissa De Souza had sin-
gles.
The Raiders made nine errors.
The team bounced back in a must-win
situation versus their neighbours from Pick-
ering, winning 10-0. Nakamura homered
and singled; Pesch was 3-for-4 at the plate.
Castonguay and Kraehling each contributed
two hits apiece and Dobbin added a triple.
Roach, Baird and Hill also singled.
The Raiders faced Cobourg again and
recorded a tense 5-4 victory. McLary picked
up the win, with Castonguay, Nakamura and
Hill leading the offence with two hits
apiece. Pesch, Elliott, Roach and Kraehling
added singles.

BY BRAD KELLY
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––To the
eyes of an outsider, Theresa
Grabowski has done some-
thing very special for chal-
lenged athletes in Durham
Region.
But she puts the brakes
on attaching that ‘special’
label to her name. In fact,
she is vehemently opposed
to being viewed as better
than any other parent.
“I got that from the day I
had a handicapped child,”
she says of the perception
of being someone special.
“I’m no better a parent
or worse a parent than any-
one else. I’m not better at
handling stress than any-
body else. You take your
kids and you raise them.
I’m no different than any
other parent.”
While that may be true,
she has certainly gone out
of her way to ensure chal-
lenged athletes have an av-
enue to play out their
dreams of being involved in
a recreational program suit-
ed for their specific needs.
Challenge League
Sports, a program she start-
ed in 1994 based in Os-
hawa, has grown signifi-
cantly from its early begin-
nings. At the time there
were no sports programs
offered that suited the
needs of her then eight-
year-old son Jason, who
has Down’s syndrome.
While she could have regis-
tered her son in an integrat-
ed program, he wouldn’t
have experienced the full
benefits.
“I could get him in, but
the question was how good
would it be when he was
there? With disabilities and
medical requirements, it in-
terferes with performance.
Integration can work, but
only if everybody wants it
to work.”
So she made some calls,
and decided to put together
an informal baseball pro-
gram on Sunday mornings
together with the Down
Syndrome Association.
With some donated equip-
ment, the program was a hit
from the beginning.
Now, seven years later,
there are more than 100
kids from Durham Region
playing baseball. In addi-
tion, soccer and basketball
have also been added to the
mix, offering athletes from
the ages of five to 50 a
year-round opportunity to
play sports.
With its success, she
wonders, “How come it
took to 1994” to start such
a program?
A similar need was rec-
ognized in Bowmanville,
prompting Teri McCabe to
form the Alley Kats, a
group of Special Olympic
bowlers who roll on the
lanes of Liberty Bowl every
Wednesday night.
“There wasn’t a whole
lot of people who came for-
ward to start” a program in
Bowmanville, she recalls.
Through her work with the

ing, she “saw there was
nothing out here” and de-
cided “to start something
and stick with it.”
Now in its fifth year, the
program attracts 23 bowlers
ranging from teens to 70-
year-olds.
The benefits of enrolling
in a challenged sports pro-
gram, Grabowski points
out, are numerous. Kids
can now be included in the
same conversations as their
siblings who play sports,
sharing the triumphs and
joys that go along with par-
ticipating.
“It teaches the kids how
to play together,” she says.
“I like the idea that it brings
some normalcy to families.
“My son learns to follow
a schedule and what hap-
pens at what time. He’s
doing things with other
kids he’s supposed to do.”
As for the satisfaction
she gets out of the program
aside from watching her
own son grow and develop,
she pauses only briefly be-
fore coming up with an an-
swer.
“I enjoy seeing the kids
doing the things they
should be doing. It’s sur-
prising the amount of abili-
ty they show.”
There are other outlets
available to challenged ath-
letes throughout the region,
including the Durham
Dragons and Whitby Steel-
hawks hockey programs.
The athletes are the spe-
cial ones.
The people who run the
programs are just doing
their part.

Pickering’s Anson Henry did his
part to put Canada in position for a
Commonwealth Games medal, but a
late pass left Australia with the
bronze.
Running the second leg of the 4-x-
100-metre relay final at the Games in
Manchester, England, Henry turned in
a solid performance, holding down
third spot, where the Canadians
remained until Bruny Surin, in the final
international appearance of his
decorated career, was passed at the
finish. The Canadians finished in
38.94 seconds, just behind the
Aussies in 38.87.
The fourth-place finish capped an
excellent track season for Henry, who
also made the semifinals of the
Games’ 100m event.

Staff Writer
DURHAM ––Pick any night of
the week, any local baseball diamond,
and quite likely there is a gathering of
adults enjoying one of the most popu-
lar summer pastimes.
While interest in baseball at the
professional level continues a down-
ward spiral in terms of attendance, that
isn’t the case with local slo-pitch
leagues in Durham Region.
The sport continues to thrive, as
each year brings a host of new players,
both men and women, young and old.
“The numbers continue to increase
every year,” says John Burt, who
serves as a Zone 5 director for Slo-
Pitch Ontario. Despite the angst peo-
ple feel toward million dollar salaries
and ticket prices for Major League
Baseball, the average person “just
wants to play,” adds Burt.
Burt has been associated with Slo-
Pitch Ontario for seven years, the last
two as a director of Zone 5, which en-
compasses an area from Port Hope to
Brampton.
The non-profit association operates
the Labatt’s Provincial Champi-
onships, which London will host in
September for all age groups and divi-
sions. Because there are 25 different
divisions, the championships are
stretched out over four weekends to
ensure everything runs smoothly, says
Burt.
With its head office based in St.
Catharines, Slo-Pitch Ontario’s man-
date is to regulate, improve, promote
and develop the sport throughout the
province. Divided into nine zones, the
governing body oversees approxi-
mately 125 provincial qualifying tour-
naments held throughout Ontario each
year.
The office, which has up to seven
employees depending on the time of
year, also helps leagues with insurance
issues and produces a rulebook and
quarterly magazine among other
things, says Chief Executive Officer
Tom Buchan, who has held the posi-
tion since 1990.
In his best estimation, he figures
there are 120,000 players playing slo-
pitch who are registered. That number
swells to half-a-million players, he
guesses, if industrial and office
leagues are added.
“Slo-pitch appeals to any type cali-
bre of player,” he says of the sport’s
popularity. “Anybody can play. All of
the divisions we have appeal to a wide
variety of players.
“You can play a game in an hour. I
know everybody has a busy schedule,
but most people have no problem giv-
ing up an hour of their time for some
recreation.”
There are a number of different di-
visions and levels offered for men’s,
women’s and co-ed teams, as well as
Masters for players aged 35 and over.
“We had rapid growth in the early
1990s, but we see growth every year,”
says Buchan. “The addition of the
Masters gives everybody an opportu-
nity to play and nobody has to fall out
of the game.”
The opportunity to play on a co-ed
team is also an attraction to players,
who can turn the sport into a social
outing, adds Burt.
“With co-ed, a husband and wife or
boyfriend and girlfriend can get out
and play on the same team.”
While there are no changes to slo-
pitch pending - you still need three
outs and always will - there are some
issues that the sport will have to over-
come to continue its widespread popu-
larity.
In Durham Region that means in-
creasing diamond rental fees, says
Burt.
“The only way slo-pitch will ever
get killed off is by the price of the dia-
monds. It can get pricey when you
consider the user fees. We try to keep
costs down, but you have to realize
that less than five per cent of the teams
have sponsors.”
A much larger issue shares a com-
mon bond with hockey.
While the most popular winter pas-
time is struggling to keep officials in
the game, slo-pitch is facing the same
dilemma, says Buchan. While hockey
parents cause havoc from the stands
during a game, those same parents
move onto a bench for slo-pitch and
continue the abuse.
“People don’t realize that umpires
have to get up and go to work just like
we do,” says Buchan of the problem.
“Some players verbally abuse umpires
to the point they don’t want to do it
anymore.
“It’s a carry over from hockey.”

Local squad too much for
American competition
PICKERING —The Pickering
Power girls’ under-18 soccer team
took on the best in the U.S. — and
won.
The Power squad travelled to
Blaine, Minnesota to compete in the
Schwann’s USA Cup earlier this
month. Involving more than 800
teams from all over the world, the
tournament is the largest in North
America.
The Pickering team, which plays
in the Ontario Youth Soccer League
— the highest level in the province —
was entered in the Cup flight usually
attracting the highest-calibre teams.
After winning its pool and engag-
ing in an all-out struggle in the semi-
final, Pickering powered up to meet a
strong, and undefeated team, Exodus,
from Barrington, Illinois.
The Power girls played in the main
stadium at the National Sports Cen-
tre, which has 52 soccer fields. Con-
tinuing a trend that had persisted
through the week, Pickering gave up
the first goal of the game early in the
second half and tied the contest with
a goal by Breigh Cameron who, at
age 15, is the youngest member of the
squad. After 90 minutes in over-90 C
temperatures, the teams played an
extra 10 minutes of overtime before
going to a shootout. Pickering scored
on all of its shots and goalkeeper
Rachel Spurs stopped all but one Ex-
odus attempt for a well-deserved 4-1
victory in the shootout and an overall
2-1 win.
Winning this competition contin-
ues a tradition for the Pickering Soc-
cer Club as its under-19 team won the
USA Cup the previous year.
In the semifinal, the Power met a
strong team from St. Paul, Minnesota
and, after extra time could not find a
winner, the teams began a shootout.
Pickering went on to win 2-1.
Pickering finished first in round-
robin play and advanced to the semi-
final. Power recorded wins over Min-
neapolis Kickers, Minn. (4-2) and
Twin City Firebirds, Minn. (4-1), and
tied Madison Rumba, Wisc. (1-1).
Goal scorers were Julia Sesti, Helen
James, Sarah Little, O.J. Lym and
Ashley Cox.
Also competing from the Picker-
ing club were the girls’ under-16 and
under-19 teams and the boys’ under-
14 squad. All of the teams did well
and advanced to the later stages of the
competition. The under-19 team won
the consolation final after playing all
their games short of players due to in-
juries.
The Power under-18 team includes
14 Durham players from Newcastle,
Bowmanville, Courtice, Port Perry,
Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering.
The balance of the team comes from
Scarborough and East York.
Other under-18 team members are
Erin Watson, Sharon Cook, Lindsay
Zara, Dana Szeghalmi, Andrea Mee,
Andrea Park,Allie Ward-Bellingham,
Stephanie McNorton, Katrina
Gaudet, Katie Meleta, and Lindsay
Cox.
John Cook and Joe Spurs coach
the team.

BASHING FROM LPGA
LPGA players repeatedly are being
asked their feelings about the brouhaha
over the statement by Augusta National
chairman Hootie Johnson that the
home of the Masters, which has no
women members, won’t be rushed into
admitting any. While some LPGA pros
remain neutral on the subject, veterans
Juli Inkster and Rosie Jones criticized
the club, and Jones even questioned
Tiger Woods’noncommittal stance.
“For (Johnson) to come out and say,
‘We’re going to do what we want and
we don’t care what you think,’that’s just
a bad attitude,” said Inkster, who won
her second U.S. Women’s Open title in
July. “It’s their prerogative, but they’re
missing out. The time has come.”
Jones laced into Woods: “You would
think that he, of all people, would have
a little bit more voice in the matter. But
I don’t think any of us can tell him what
to do or what to
think.”About
Augusta’s all-male
membership, she
added: “It’s really
amazing they’re not taking
the same stance with gender
as they are with race.”
TIN CUP
Eric Brito,33, missed the
John Deere Classic cut with
76-74, but the Forecaddie gives
him an A for perseverance.
Brito, who earned the
final spot into the
tournament on the
fourth hole of a five-
man Monday qualifying playoff, doesn’t
have a job, a car or even a golf bag (he
used a canvas bag he found in his girl-
friend’s garage).
He drove from his new home
in Milwaukee to the Quad Cities
in his ex-wife’s truck, which
broke down the day before quali-
fying.
He has played several minor-
league tours, but in the past
couple of years, has worked a
number of jobs. “When I
played on all those tours when
I was younger, I drank too
much and I partied too much,”
he told the Moline (Ill.)
Dispatch. “It would be differ-
ent now. I still drink. I just
drink Miller Lite.”
TAP-INS AND
LIP-OUTS
Conspicuous by his absence at this
week’s Western Amateur was last year’s

thing called work got in the way.

kerage firm, went to San Francisco for
meetings with the AIM Fund, one of the
world’s largest mutual fund companies.

Golfweek
he future of golf includes a portable test
device for measuring coefficient of restitu-
tion, or springlike effect, in the face of a dri-
ver. And it includes the capability of using this test
at any tournament site.
The U.S. Golf Association chose the World
Scientific Congress of Golf, held in late July at the
University of St. Andrews in Scotland, as the venue
for officially unveiling its new portable COR test,
called the pendulum test.
The most surprising development at the
Congress was the decision by Callaway Golf to
announce its own portable COR test. Furthermore,
Callaway officials said they gladly will share this
invention — free — with all ruling bodies and other
golf companies.
“We have shown this to the USGA and R&A
(Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews),” said
Dick Helmstetter, Callaway’s senior executive vice
president for research and development, “and we
have told them that, should there be any interest in
using our test, we would give a free license to the
patents to them or anybody else.”
Why would Callaway do this? Clearly the com-
pany believes its test is simpler and just as accurate
as the USGA test. Moreover, Callaway seems to be
reinforcing its position that more patents benefiting
the entire golf industry should be shared without
charge. Callaway is among a group of manufactur-
ers upset that the USGA has declined to share some
of its patents and collects fees for the use of others
(such as the Indoor Test Range, which is the stan-
dard test for measuring the performance of golf
balls).
Those who attended the Congress seemed to
agree that a COR test at some tournaments is
inevitable.
The USGA and R&A, golf’s two rulemaking
bodies, are expected to announce a worldwide dri-
ver COR limit of .830 for tournaments involving
“highly skilled players” and .860 for all other play.
After a five-year grace period, .860 would be throt-
tled back to .830, and golfers of all levels would
play with the same limit.
“If you are going to have a speed limit (COR
limit),” Helmstetter said, “that speed limit is only
effective if occasionally you check the speed of the
cars going down that road.”
Despite the impending adoption of a global COR
standard, the only test currently in use is a
laboratory measurement that requires a club-
head to be removed from its shaft. There is no
officially endorsed portable COR test.
The Callaway test measures the speed and size
of clubface vibrations, after a device called a modal
hammer delivers a known amount of energy to the
sweet spot. This information is inserted into a com-
plicated mathematical formula — which includes,
among other things, the characteristics of different
golf balls — and all this information is analyzed to
determine a COR number.
Why the flurry of activity? Because clubmakers
need a reliable and quick method of testing clubs
that have shafts in them. The current USGA
method requires about an hour for a club to be test-
ed by a skilled engineer. Callaway’s portable test
takes about five minutes.
The USGA and R&A have no timetable for
adopting a standard portable COR test. Any COR
tester must, of course, yield accurate,
repeatable results with all drivers.
Despite concerns, a sanc-
tioned portable COR test
will be approved in the
near future.

competitor, to the Solheim sidelines
Sept. 21-23 in Edina, Minn. She’ll be
able only to watch the U.S. team’s bid to
regain the Cup, which the Americans
lost in 2000 at Loch Lomond in
Scotland.
Because of an unfortunate setback
to her injured shoulder, Pepper
won’t be stalking the fairways
of Interlachen Country Club.
Instead, her role will be as
an inspirational leader.
It’s something she hasn’t
quite accepted.
“Not very well,” Pepper
said. “But that’s my only
alternative. I don’t know if
it’s going to make it
easier or harder
by going.
It might
just kill me
being up there, but not
being able to be on the
course with everyone else. I’ll
fight with that from now until the
time I go to Minneapolis. I’m sure
once I’m up there, I’ll be glad I
went. But it’s not going to be
easy.”
Pepper, the only U.S. player
to compete in all six previous
Solheims, planned to play in
her seventh at Interlachen. She
timed her comeback from the
March 1 surgery on a torn
posterior labrum for the last
week of June at the ShopRite
LPGA Classic, the week
before the U.S. Women’s Open.
Even though she missed the
ShopRite cut with back-to-back
75s, Pepper said her swing —
and shoulder — felt “really
good” that week.
But Pepper felt pain after an
intense therapy session with an
LPGA trainer, who Pepper said
“started digging around” during a
deep-tissue massage early during
Open week. Two tendons in her shoul-
der were inflamed, and her
comeback had to be put on
hold until next year.
“I had a therapist get a
little carried away,” Pepper
said. “But I think looking
back and putting the
whole thing together, the
shoulder just wasn’t ready
to play week in and week
out on the tour.”
Pepper, who said gym
sessions helped her mental outlook this
spring, hopes to get the green light to
return to upper body workouts this week.
“The gym ate up a lot of the frustra-
tion for me early this year,” she said. “I
didn’t really miss being on tour that
much before I came back (at the
ShopRite), but once I got a taste of it for
that one week, now it’s absolutely killing
me.”
She said she expects to be fully
recovered when the 2003 LPGA
schedule begins next February or
March.
“There’s a bigger plan,” Pepper
said, “and that’s what I’m focusing
on.”
At the Solheim, U.S. captain Patty
Sheehan likely would have paired
Pepper with Solheim rookie Laura Diaz,
a rising LPGA star who Pepper has
taken under her wing. Diaz, 27, is one of
what could be as many as six Solheim
first-timers on the U.S. squad, even more
of a reason Pepper’s presence is needed.
Although Pepper’s role has yet to be
defined, Sheehan considers it vital.
“She’s still going to be fiery, and
she’ll still definitely be very involved in
what’s going on,” Sheehan said.
For her part, Pepper’s willing to do
anything.
At least she won’t have to wait two
years for the next Solheim. The competi-
tion will be played again in 2003, per-
manently switching to odd years, a move
necessitated by the Ryder Cup being
moved to even years after being post-
poned by the terrorist attacks.
Assuming she’s healthy, Pepper’s a
virtual lock to be a member of the 2003
U.S. Solheim team. Even though she has
missed this season and might not earn
enough points to finish in the top 10 in
the Solheim standings, she’s an almost-
certain captain’s pick.
Considering Pepper’s Solheim track
record, the captain — whoever it is —
would be a fool not to choose her.
Pepper, you see, is the ultimate
competitor for her country, a
woman who painted her toenails
blue for the 1998 Solheim and
who dyed her hair red before the
’94 matches.
“I get inspired for stuff like
this,” Pepper said after going a
perfect 4-0 in her matches to lead
the United States to a 16-12 victo-
ry over Europe at Muirfield
Village in 1998. She has a staggering 13-
4-2 record (5-1 in singles) in the
Solheim, tied with Europe’s Laura
Davies (13-8-2, 3-3 singles) for most
points (14) in the event’s history. In the
last four Solheims, Pepper has been 11-
2-1.
“She’s truly been the heart and soul
of all the matches,” then-U.S. captain Pat
Bradley said before the 2000 event.
Those, of course, are precisely the
reasons Sheehan wanted Pepper present
at Interlachen, even with the injury.
The European team might not be
quite as happy to see her, though they’ll
likely be glad she’s not inside the ropes.
Though Pepper’s captains have
defended her to the end, the Europeans
beg to differ. They accused her of
unsportsmanlike conduct in ’94 and ’98.
At the Greenbrier in ’94, she yelled
“Yeah!” when Davies missed a putt, then
declined to shake hands at the end of the
match.
“Sometimes Dottie gets a little carried
away, but she’s really not the ferocious
thing she comes across as,” said Judy
Rankin, the ’98 U.S. captain. “Dottie
gets exuberant, and Dottie lets you know
how she feels. I’m not aware of Dottie
being rude.”
But Pepper’s actions infuriated
Davies, who called the actions “unpro-
fessional” and “unnecessary,” and who
later placed Pepper’s picture on a punch-
ing bag and took a few good shots.
For Pepper, the Solheim always has
been good, clean, patriotic fun — even
the punching bag.
“To me, it’s patriotism,” she said then.
“I’m glad to be their punchbag if that’s
what it takes. I take it as a compliment.”
Even now, she doesn’t regret a single
one of those Solheim displays.
“Absolutely not,” she said this week.
This year, she’ll only regret not being
able to play.

Young pianist’s African
Dance earns accolades
BY AL RIVETT
Staff Editor
PICKERING —Achingly
shy, young Erin Ramoutar
doesn’t like to talk about her
piano-playing achievements
that far exceed her young age.
The young city resident
prefers to leave her personal ex-
pression to playing the piano
and the Yamaha Electone organ,
instruments she has mastered to
a large degree since beginning
formal lessons at the Toronto
Yamaha Music School at age
three.
Now eight, Erin’s musical
curriculum vitae reads like
those of someone many times
her age. The precocious key-
boardist has won numerous
awards and scholarships at
music festivals and competi-
tions over the past two years,
including honours this year
from the Canadian Music Festi-
val, Yamaha Keyboard Festival
and the Markham Music Festi-
val.
In the midst of taking
lessons, performing and com-
peting, Erin also flexed her mu-
sical talent as a composer this
year, beating out literally thou-
sands of other budding musi-
cians within the Yamaha Music
Education System’s global
ranks to have one of her compo-
sitions featured on its CD.
Composing since age six,
Erin submitted two songs, ‘The
African Dance’and ‘The Happy
Mouse’, which were accepted
into this year’s 2002 Junior
Original Concert (JOC) Interim
Application CD. After all the
submissions were evaluated,
‘The African Dance’was one of
five to make it on the final CD.
Erin’s father, Vince, said he
was pleasantly surprised to
learn of his daughter’s achieve-
ment, as there are more than
700,000 Yamaha students
worldwide eligible to have their
compositions judged.
“We were ecstatic,” said Mr.
Ramoutar. “She has a very good
coach in Tom Duffin who
works at the head office (for
Yamaha Canada). He really un-
derstands the process and what
it takes.”
Erin noted she enjoyed the
creative process that went into
the two numbers. She said ‘The
African Dance’, composed en-
tirely on the Electone, was es-
pecially fun to write as it fea-
tured a danceable rhythm.
“It has a dancing beat, sort
of,” said Erin, who’ll attend
Grade 3 at Blaisdale Montes-
sori School this fall. “I liked the
nice beat, so people will like it.”
Her father said the score for
‘The African Dance’ was five
pages long and was “a difficult
piece, with lots of scales”.
Last month, Erin received
the opportunity to perform ‘The
African Dance’ before a large
audience at the Yamaha Music
Junior Original Concert in
Collingwood, featuring 10 stu-
dents selected from across
Canada and the U.S.
Erin said she’s already work-
ing on submissions for the 2003
edition of the JOC interim ap-
plication disc.
In the short-term, she contin-
ues to take piano lessons with
Laura Pashanov at the Toronto
Yamaha School of Music and
also takes private lessons.
Erin Ramoutar, eight, lets her fingers glide across the keyboard at her Picker-
ing home. Her composition and playing skills led to one of her songs being in-
cluded on a compact disc.

Stars shine on the grounds
of historic Durham mansion
BY JANE McDONALD
Staff Writer
DURHAM –– Colonel Sam
McLaughlin would no doubt
have chuckled at the hectic activ-
ities taking place beyond the
south terrace of his Oshawa
house. Two dozen people with
sound booms, cameras and mas-
sive lights filled the south lawn of
the estate the General Motors of
Canada founder called home
from 1917 until his death in
1972. It was ‘Hollywood North’
at Parkwood, during taping of an
episode for the new television se-
ries, ‘Monk.’
It isn’t the first time the his-
toric mansion and grounds have
lent an elegant backdrop to the
making of motion pictures, tele-
vision shows and even the Tragi-
cally Hip’s latest music video. In
the almost 30 years Parkwood
has been open to the public for
tours, Ontario Media Develop-
ment has ranked the 55-room
Parkwood near the top of its list
of desirable locations for movie-
makers.
“We have 12 to 15 produc-
tions film here each year,” says
Sharon Kennedy, director of de-
velopment at Parkwood. “On-
tario Media Development ranks
us in the top 10 and there’s a rea-
son for that. As an intact home,
the estate looks like the family
just left. We’re a set decorator’s
dream. The 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s
are frozen in time for them.”
This time out, the Oshawa
landmark and national historic
site is set in San Francisco where
Adrian Monk, an obsessive-com-
pulsive detective, solves myster-
ies.
“OK, picture’s up,” booms the
director’s voice. “Quiet, please.
Sound up, please. OK, we’re
rolling.”
There’s a lot of ‘hurry up and
wait’ on the exterior movie set
where the cameras are turned
away from the house so the lawn
simulates a golf course. Just like
in the movies, the top arm of a
square board with scene number
and episode number written on it
is lifted. “We’ll just wait for the
music to go by,” says the director
as traffic moves along Simcoe
Street. “AND action!”
The golf scene is being filmed
with series stars Tony Shalhoub
and Bitty Schram questioning a
man. They are engaged in con-
versation when the duffer sud-
denly becomes angry. The actors
turn and run away. “OK, cut.
Let’s do it again,” says the direc-
tor.
If any of Col. Sam’s line
workers thought their jobs were
repetitive, they never made
movies. Sitting behind two video
monitors under a makeshift tent
to shield him from the sun, the
director asks the cameramen,
“Can you see enough of him?”
The actors run away from the
angry golfer again. “Cut.”The di-
rector runs out to talk with the ac-
tors.
Meanwhile, crew members,
makeup artist and hairdresser
mill about on the lawn, cell-
phones in tow. All stop talking
when the soundman yells, “Here
we go. We’re rolling.” The movie
scene board makes it Take 3.
The director isn’t sure. “Let’s
turn around,” he orders and the
scene starts over again, from a
different angle. Finally, those
wonderful words are heard: “Cut.
Print.”
Despite running back and
forth on the Parkwood lawn for
the last half-hour in the early af-
ternoon July sun, co-star Bitty
Schram seems bubbly and affa-
ble. “It’s better than being unem-
ployed,” says the actress, best re-
membered for her role in ‘A
League of Their Own,’ her film
debut.
But the days have been long
for her and the crew. As co-star,
she’s in almost every scene.
“We shoot 12 to 16 hours a
day. I don’t think we go less than
12 hours ... We’ve worked a lot
lately, on weekends. We have no
life,” she laughs.
Abruptly, the bright lights il-
luminate the shade under Park-
wood’s massive trees. “You son
of a bitch,” yells the angry golfer,
followed by, “Picture’s up. Final
please.”
Shalhoub, a favourite of tele-
vision viewers since playing ‘An-
tonio Scarpacci’on Wings, walks
to his chair and makes a cell-
phone call as a lighting assistant
watches clouds roll overhead.
“Hello, you wanted to talk
with me,” says a friendly and
charming Shalhoub as he smiles
and warmly shakes the hand of
this reporter.
The Los Angeles resident has
guest-starred on the’ X-Files,’
‘Almost Perfect,’ ‘Frasier’ and
‘Ally McBeal’ before taking the
lead in ‘Monk,’ which he also
produces.
Yes, Shalhoub has done this
before.
Parkwood, the estate of General Motors of Canada founder
Colonel Sam McLaughlin in Oshawa, is a popular spot for
film and television shoots.
