Andrew Sliz, 74, of Mountland Road, was killed when his southbound 1998 Ford Taurus collided head-on with a northbound 2002 Ford Taurus just south of Town Line Road around 3:10 p.m., police report. The collision left three oc- cupants of the two cars trapped until Whitby fire- fighters could free them with the Jaws of Life. Mr. Sliz was pronounced dead at the scene while para- medics transported his 73- year-old wife to Lakeridge Health Uxbridge and then later to Markham-Stouffville Hospital, where she remains in serious condition. Ambu- lance services used a heli- copter to airlift the driver of the Taurus, a 58-year-old Uxbridge man, to Toronto’s Sunnybrook Health Science Centre, where he remains in critical condition. Both suffered multiple Pickering firm calls it a success Minacs Worldwide continues its growth DURHAM —Minacs Worldwide Inc. announced huge financial growth for the quarter ended June 30 when compared to a year earlier. For the second quarter, the customer relations manage- ment firm, which operates of- fices in both Oshawa and Pickering, reported revenues of $62 million, more than double the $30.4 million for the same period in 2001. The revenue increase in- cludes the results from opera- tions of Phoenix Group, and of BGI Systems Integration Ltd., both acquired in 2001, as well as new and expanded business with clients. Second quarter revenues were flat in relation to the $62 million reported in the first quarter of 2002. The total revenue for the first six months of 2002 of $124 million is also more than double the $60.4 million re- ported for the same period in 2001. The company expects to report revenues of between $250 and $255 million for 2002 and is working to exe- cute its growth strategy with new and existing business. “As we anticipated, the second quarter of 2002 was challenging for Minacs be- cause of the overall economic slowdown and, more specifi- cally, the softening in the telecommunications and tech- nology sectors,” explained Elaine Minacs, president and chief executive officer of Mi- nacs. “Despite these business challenges, we were able to meet and, in some cases, ex- ceed financial targets for this quarter as reflected in these results.” For the second quarter, Mi- nacs reported gross profit of $24.2 million, or 39.1 per cent of revenues, versus $11.6 mil- lion, or 38.2 per cent of rev- ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Reporting for duty!

Pickering event a go Sept. 14 and 15, Ajax firefighters cancel annual boot drive BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —Another Labour Day weekend has come and gone, but this year the streets of Ajax were a little qui- eter than usual. The long weekend went off without the annual Ajax Profes- sional Firefighters Association boot drive for muscular dystro- phy. “We used to do it Labour Day weekend,” said Rod Woodcock, Ajax Professional Firefighters Association presi- dent. “But we’re not holding a boot drive this year. The provincial government has banned it. We could continue to do it, they said they wouldn’t fine us or anything, but it is il- legal.” The government has not banned boot drives specifically. However, legislation passed by the Province in 1999 designed to stop squeegee kids and ag- gressive panhandlers has put a damper on things. Throughout the usual course of the annual boot drive, local firefighters stop cars on the streets and hold out a boot so- liciting donations. But, sections of the Safe Streets and Highway Traffic acts make stopping cars on the side of any public highway to solicit anything strictly against the law. “It’s always been an offence to stop and attempt to solicit funds from a car on a roadway,” said Brendan Crawley, spokesman for the Ministry of the Ontario Attorney General. “However, the government does appreciate the good work that volunteer organizations do in the community and the attor- ney general encourages those groups to work with the local police force to find a way to work in compliance with the Highway Traffic Act and the Safe Streets Act.” Kirk Smythe believes Pick- ering firefighters have done ex- actly that. “It’s not illegal, not if you’re on private property,” he explained. “We can’t stop peo- ple in the middle of an intersec- tion like the squeegee kids do, but in parking lots it’s OK.” Provincial legislation puts boots to fund-raising ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Pickering firefighters have their boots ready to help raise money for muscular dystrophy Sept. 14 and 15 at local plazas.See LOCAL page A2 See MINACS page A2 See CRASH page A2 Traffic blitz nets dozens of charges Nineteen charged with drunk driving in long weekend blitz DURHAM ––Durham Regional Police charged 19 motorists with drinking and driving offences during the Labour Day long weekend. Durham Regional Police officers conducting RIDE spotchecks in Port Perry, Os- hawa and Ajax stopped 3,300 vehicles and administered 60 roadside breath tests, police said. Fourteen people were given 12-hour licence suspen- sions for blowing a “warn” and nine drivers were arrested for being over the legal alco- hol limit. Another 10 motorists were charged for driving drunk after being stopped by regular patrol officers. Meanwhile, two people were also charged under the Highway Traffic Act with having open liquor in a vehi- cle. Police also issued 546 speeding tickets during a weeklong “Enhanced En- forcement” initiative in Durham. In all, 694 traffic violations were recorded. enues for the same period in 2001. Gross profit for the first six months was $51.1 million (41.2 per cent of revenues) compared to $23.9 million (39.6 per cent of revenues) in 2001. Minacs Worldwide also an- nounced in August the appointment of Susan Crocker to its board of di- rectors. Ms. Crocker has a consulting practice focused on high-level as- signments in the areas of strategy and business transformation. She has over 20 years of experience in senior leadership positions with major orga- nizations, including the Toronto Stock Exchange, Ernst and Young, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

They have permission from man- agement to work the lots at the Picker- ing Town Centre, the Metro East Trade Centre, and the Hub Plaza among oth- ers. Mr. Crawley said as far as the attor- ney general is concerned, that is ac- ceptable, as long as they solicit in a “non-aggressive” manner. He said standing on the sidewalk or the shoulder of the road is also OK, but they cannot make exceptions to the law even if the boot drives are for charity. Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty was instrumental in putting together and passing the Safe Streets Act in his role as attorney general in 1999. He said in an interview Tuesday the Safe Streets Act just reiterates what has been in the Highway Traffic Act for years. “This is an old issue that’s been raised in the legislature many times,” he said. “Firefighters and emergency services people can continue to raise money annually through their boot dri- ves, but it’s always been illegal to be on a roadway, the law hasn’t changed. It doesn’t apply to private property though, and if this particular boot drive is in a shopping centre parking lot, the Highway Traffic Act does not apply.” For now, Mr. Woodcock said the Ajax firefighters will be discussing different possibilities for the future of the boot drive, but they’re in no hurry to hit the streets. “They say we can’t beg for money on the street so we can’t do it,” he said. “This isn’t the way it should be, it’s making it harder to go out and fund- raise. It’s just too bad because I think it’s one of the only ways muscular dy- strophy collects money.” Local firefighters have a toll for you LOCAL from page A1 Fax it: 905-683-7363 Crash in north Pickering claims senior’s life Minacs still growing, remains profitable ELAINE MINACS ‘We were able to meet and, in some cases, exceed financial targets.’ MINACS from page A1 fractures, said Constable Caroline Stenzel of Durham Regional Police’s traffic management unit, which shut down the roadway for almost eight hours to conduct its investigation. Const. Stenzel said at some point prior to the collision the northbound vehicle drifted over the centre line and hit the southbound car. She de- scribed road conditions as dry and the weather as sunny and clear. The stretch of road where the collision took place is straight but the north- bound car would have been travel- ling on a steady incline, she said. “Alcohol or speed aren’t looking like they’re factors in this,” she added.

Positive Changes Hypnosis Call now for your FREE Evaluation 725 Westney Road, S. (at Finley) Suite 7, Ajax Serving Satisfied Customers Since 1961 with Centres Worldwide 905-686-7717 My name is Paula Jo Owens. I live with my husband, Keith, and our two children, Kyla and Brianna. I am an office manager. I discovered an amazing weight loss breakthrough that helped me melt off 55 lbs. of unwanted fat. My dress size quickly plunged from a plump 18 to a slender 10 and it was effortless! I took off my weight without diets, pills, packaged foods or expensive herbs. I hope that my story will help other people who are overweight and miserable the way I once was... By: Paula Owens Tears of frustration stung my eyes. I was sitting on the edge of my bed, tugging on a pair of blue jeans. I couldn’t even get them past my thighs! But that wasn’t the worst of it. They were not my blue jeans, they were my husband’s! I remember feeling so desperate, I could barely breathe. I knew my weight had been steadily climbing for the past 3 years, but I’d had no idea how much. Fast Food Frenzy In truth, it was no wonder that I’d grown so fat. My eating habits had spun out of control. Most nights I felt so stuffed that I would have to change into sweatpants just to breathe! I couldn’t stop it. My attempts at dieting were disastrous. It was as if I had no control over my hands. I just kept feeding myself. I could sense that my husband was no longer attracted to me the way he used to be. I knew that he loved me, but I felt as if we were just going through the motions. I was suffering emotionally. I had lost all respect for myself. My Amazing Discovery By the time of the ‘jeans incident,’ I had given up on dieting. I had tried everything from diet pills to starvation. Nothing worked. My weight would always shoot right back up plus more. As I sat on the bed, tears streaming down my cheeks, I remembered a conversation that took place about six months earlier. A close friend had told me some amazing stories about people who had lost weight and kicked their smoking habits by being hypnotized. She said that these amazing results were happening right in our hometown at Positive Changes Hypnosis and that I could go in for a free hypnotic screening. ‘They get excellent results!’ she’d said. My friend and I grew up together so I trusted her. But I’d been skeptical. It was all so new to me. Hypnosis made me think of crystal balls and swinging watches. Was I ever wrong! The office was surprisingly professional - something like a doctor’s office, but not so clinical. I saw happy people that were thrilled by how hypnosis had changed their lives. I thought, hey, this is for real. Hypnosis actually works. My consultant was refreshingly open and honest. She answered all my questions and made me feel at home. Even the fee was surprisingly low. I was so impressed. I decided right then that hypnosis was the solution to my weight problem. Instant Success! Right after my first hypnosis session, I noticed a change in my eating habits. I immediately stopped drinking cola. I had no taste for it. Water and fruit juice are far more satisfying to me. I lost about 4 pounds my first month. After that my weight melted off so quickly, I hardly knew it was happening. I would average three pounds a week. It took me 6 short months to shed my entire 55 lbs.! Hypnosis made my weight loss easy and effortless. I didn’t even have to think about it. Hypnosis has eliminated my food cravings and bad eating habits. There is no comparison to where I was before being hypnotized. Candlelight & Romance! The changes I’ve experienced with hypnosis are so powerful that it’s hard to explain. Before hypnosis, I felt like an ‘it.’ Nobody paid attention to me. People notice me now. I feel like a woman again. Before being hypnotized, I never dreamed I would get here. My husband has always been a hopeless romantic. He loves to make candlelight dinners for me. Since losing my weight, our romance has rekindled. These days, when Keith looks at me, I can tell that he loves what he sees! “Hypnosis Does It All!” My success with hypnosis was fast, easy and effortless. I feel in control. It’s comforting to know that I will never go out of control like that again. I recommend Positive Changes Hypnosis every day because I have experienced their success first hand. One woman showed me her before picture. She had lost 80 lbs. I met a husband and wife who were ecstatic! He had lost 105 lbs. and she had taken off 95 lbs! I was skeptical about hypnosis until I met these people. What a difference! Now I have my own success story to tell! Hypnosis came through for me when all else had failed. In fact, hypnosis does it all! I am calm and relaxed. My energy level is through the roof. My body feels strong and willowy. I did all this without ever feeling deprived and with no negative side effects! I owe 100% of my success to Positive Changes Hypnosis. Thanks to them, I am wearing my own jeans in a slim size 10. So if you are considering Positive Changes Hypnosis, I urge you to do it now. I waited and suffered for months - until I couldn’t even fit into my husband’s blue jeans! Don’t let that happen to you. Call Positive Changes Hypnosis to schedule your free hypnosis screening. Hypnosis changed my life. It can do the same for you. In my opinion, the benefits are unlimited. But the only way you’ll know is to find out for yourself. So pick up the phone and call now.

Mr. Justice John Sheppard acquit- ted the 49-year-old Durham Region man Aug. 9 following a non-jury trial in the Superior Court of Justice in Whitby. The veteran Toronto Police offi- cer, who cannot be named under a publication ban imposed to protect his daughters’ identities, was cleared of two counts each of sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual ex- ploitation. It’s anticipated the Crown’s appeal will focus on remarks Judge Shep- pard made in his written judgment in which he drew parallels to an unre- lated case involving similar allega- tions of child sexual abuse. “I should like to relate an experi- ence I had four or five years. To my knowledge I am the only judge from among my colleagues who had the following experience,” Judge Shep- pard wrote in his ruling. He went on to recall a jury trial he presided over several years ago in- volving another father accused of sexually assaulting his daughter. “I recall the young girl was a love- ly looking girl and she emotionally recounted in the witness box how her father had repeatedly assaulted her over time describing such assaults in considerable detail. I have no doubt when she left the witness box the jury were completely with her, some hav- ing shown visible signs of empathy while she was testifying,” the judge said. The next day he was informed by the Crown of a startling develop- ment, he said. “I was subsequently informed... the young girl described above had been playing with her young cousin and had told her cousin... how she had told the court how her father had sexually abused her but that he had not done that at all; that what she said was totally false and that she did it at her mother’s direction,” Judge Shep- pard said. The Crown subsequently with- drew the charges, he said. Judge Sheppard continued. “Why do I relate this anecdote? For two reasons; one, because of the number of times we as judges have been told by workers in the behaviour sciences field that children would never make up such a story. Well they do. And two: because that is the issue in this case...” In acquitting the police officer, Judge Sheppard highlighted several areas of his daughters’ evidence that led him to doubt about their reliabili- ty. During the trial prosecutors al- leged the man sexually molested his eldest daughter from the time she was age four or five until she was about 17, and his younger daughter between the ages of 13 and 15. The eldest, now 20, testified she was assaulted three or four times a week. She said she kept the abuse secret for years “because I didn’t think any- body would believe me... because my dad was a police officer.” Durham Regional Police officers charged the man in 2000 after the sis- ters disclosed their allegations of abuse following their parents’separa- tion. The father denied his daughters’ claims, calling them “disgusting lies,” and the defence argued the girls were manipulated into making false allegations by their mother as re- venge for their father’s marital infi- delity. Defence witness Dr. Richard Gardner, a professor of child psychi- atry at Columbia University, testified in his opinion both daughters suf- fered from ‘Parental Alienation Syn- drome.’ Dr. Gardner said PAS, a disorder he created, is when children are di- rectly or indirectly “programmed” by one parent to turn against another.

The area remains a popular attraction for residents from around Durham Region. Nutrition project gives kids a big morning boost DURHAM —Because food and learning go hand in hand, a number of events this month are intended to raise awareness of that important connec- tion. It’s Breakfast for Learning Month across Canada, and those involved in Durham’s Child Nutrition Project (DCNP) want to spread the word that proper nutrition is vital to a child’s abil- ity to learn. For three years, aided by the Cana- dian Living Foundation and Durham Region, DCNP has helped thousands of local children get a jump-start on learning by providing a nutritious meal. Nutrition programs operate all over Durham at local schools or through community programs, thanks to a net- work of volunteers who buy, cook and serve the breakfasts and healthy snacks. For more information about the events scheduled this month, or to vol- unteer or learn how to apply for fund- ing to start or improve an existing pro- gram, call Stephanie at 905-686-2661. Fax it Ajax and Pickering News Advertiser General 905- 683-7363 Application deadline for donations from Community Foundation of Durham is Oct. 1 DURHAM ––Durham charities are invited to apply for funding from a local foundation. The Community Foundation of Durham Region funds charitable activ- ities that benefit Durham citizens in the areas of community development, health, education, arts and culture, en- vironment, social service and youth. Innovative projects that build effective partnerships and enable people to take greater control over their lives are of particular priority to the foundation, says Pat O’Brien, grants committee chairman. “Last year, registered charities re- ceived over $23,000 from the founda- tion,” he says. “This was almost dou- ble the amount awarded the previous year, which was very encouraging since it was only the fifth year of the program.” The foundation establishes a pool of endowment funds and then uses the investment income earned from those funds to assist local groups. The orga- nization currently has $700,000 in cur- rent assets and commitments for an- other $300,000, creating a permanent fund that grows each year, allowing it to increase its donations to the com- munity while building for the future. This year, the application deadline is Oct. 1. One of the largest endowment funds managed by the Community Foundation of Durham Region is for children and youth recreation. “This fund was developed in part- nership with the Province of Ontario and generous donors from across our community,” says Mr. O’Brien. It will benefit children and youth under 18 years of age for sports, recreation, leadership, outdoor education and cul- ture. Application guidelines and forms are available by calling 905-430-6507 or 1-888-230-0333. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 4, 2002 PAGE A5 A/P (905) 837-2322 OPEN MALL HOURS Monday - Saturday General and Specialist Care New Patients of All Ages Welcome Serving the Durham Region Since 1993 REMEMBER TO MAKE A VISIT TO THE DENTIST AS PART OF YOUR BACK TO SCHOOL ROUTINE Continuing to serve you with our EXPANDED DENTAL TEAM!

Ajax is currently building a skateboard park in the north end of the community and is expecting to begin construction on another in the south end later this year. SIU probes fatal fall PICKERING ––Ontario’s civilian police watchdog is investigating after a Pickering man fell to his death while climbing down a hydro tower Saturday. Durham Regional Police were called to the Kingston Road plaza park- ing lot of the old Knob Hill Farms at about 8:40 p.m. after receiving a call about a 40-year-old man who had climbed to the top of the tower. An officer had apparently talked the man into coming down. “He began to climb down the lad- der,” said Bill Curtis of the Special In- vestigations Unit. The man reached the bottom of the tower’s ladder portion and was trying to cross a beam “when, for whatever rea- son, he fell,” Mr. Curtis said. He apparently lost his footing and fell about 50 feet to the ground. The man, who was not identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. The SIU probes police incidents where civilians are seriously injured or killed. Five investigators were assigned to investigate the circumstances of the man’s death, said Mr. Curtis. The SIU has designated one “sub- ject officer,”whose actions will be scru- tinized, and 11 witness officers. Austin Powers to pay a Village visit AJAX —The annual Pickering Vil- lage Heritage Fall Festival is fast ap- proaching. This year’s event is Saturday, Sept. 14 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Old Kingston Road in the village. Highlights of the day include a pan- cake breakfast from 9 to 11 a.m., a pa- rade from 11 a.m. to noon, numerous children’s activities, visits from Austin Powers and Dr. Evil, craft tables, a tea and mini bazaar and beer tent. The way we were Peak-Greenlaw cemetery The Peak-Greenlaw Cemetery is a small fenced plot on the west bank of Duffins Creek close to Lake On- tario. It is marked by a plaque that was dedicated by the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Com- mittee (now known as the Heritage Ajax Advisory Committee). Peak is the oldest family name on record in connection with the settlement of Pickering Town- ship, with William Peak settling in the area in 1800. His granddaughter, Mary Ann Peak, married John Greenlaw which was the connection between the two families. Mary Ann and John are both buried here with their daughters. Also buried in the cemetery are three unknown sailors whose bodies were washed ashore in 1899. When John Greenlaw discovered the bodies, he made arrangements for them to be buried in the family cemetery. No headstones were erected, but the site is marked by three maple trees.

Residents from Premier Ernie Eves down have expressed concern there are not enough physicians to treat people with real ailments and the Province says it is rushing to train more. But there are plenty of doctors, trained at huge public expense, ready, willing and available every day to tuck in your tummy, straighten your nose and raise your drooping eyelids. Their advertisements can be found increasingly in newspapers here. A plastic surgeon, who ad- vertises his “exclusive” facelift, says it will turn back the hands of time and make those who have it feel better. Another doctor promises to make you “look years younger in just 30 minutes” and a third to pro- vide a youthful, more vibrant look. There is the doctor who adver- tises “are you tired of always look- ing tired?” which may lure busy men and women executives who feel life wears them down. There are doctors who offer to enhance or augment (fancy word- ing for enlarge) breasts, remove fat quickly by surgery and straighten crooked eyebrows. Some claim they have appeared many times on TV, implying this is an ultimate seal of approval that proves they do a good job. One ad lists the names of no fewer than 80 doctors in Ontario who describe themselves proudly as “wrinkle management physi- cians”. There is a dentist whose work is solely providing cosmetic treat- ments to make smiles more beauti- ful and seems to be paid well for it, because he accepts only two pa- tients a day. There is even a company that offers credit cards specifically so people can pay while they enjoy their new faces. They do not come cheaply. Facelifts commonly cost $5,000 to $8,000 and even having a solution injected that fills in wrinkles for four months about $400 to $500. Patients have to pay for their cosmetic treatments unless they are considered medically neces- sary, but more are being prompted to have them because of the over- whelming emphasis in much of today’s society on the desirability of looking young and beautiful. It is almost impossible to turn on TV, watch a movie or sports or open a magazine without being re- minded the people who are fo- cused on are youthful, vigorous and attractive and it is not surpris- ing many want to join them. Peo- ple are almost told they should be ashamed of looking old. Patients also are being offered more and simpler treatments. These include, on top of complex surgery done for decades, injec- tions of liquids under the skin. While the more complex surg- eries are performed mostly by plastic surgeons, other physicians can carry out other procedures and the financial rewards are so good many with diverse training, includ- ing some family doctors, are doing them. Many cosmetic treatments are totally justified and paid for by medicare and they include repairs of deformities suffered in child- birth, giving those treated a chance to live normal lives. These also include the recon- struction of faces and bodies of those injured in vehicle and indus- trial accidents and fires. Doctors are doing similarly vital work when they remove lumps, moles and other growths that may lead to cancer and severe acne that can make life miserable. But taxpayers pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to train each doctor. Doctors pay for only a small part of their lengthy training and, as Premier Eves keeps saying, society does not create a doctor overnight. Many of these doctors trained at huge public expense are now spending a lot of time trying to make people look younger and more glamorous with treatments that work only for a while, anyway. They would be helping them more in the long run if they en- couraged them to eat and sleep bet- ter and get more exercise, which requires some effort. Having doctors spend less of their time prettying up patients would not solve the doctor short- age, but it would be a start. Doctors throw wrinkle into problem Many physicians focusing on specialty areas while shortage grows Perhaps not having to worry about re-election allows Jean Chretien to go out on a political limb when it comes to the Kyoto Accord. While Mr. Chretien is backing the accord, certain to pass in Parliament where Liberals, New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois members also support the plan, U.S. President George Bush is firmly against the global envi- ronmental pact. Mr. Bush, faced with a tough re-election battle in two years, worries the accord, which attempts to cut green- house gas emissions to six per cent of their 1990 levels by 2008-10, will cost the U.S. jobs and himself votes. It was his predecessor, Bill Clinton, who offered U.S. support to the pact in 1997. Mr. Clinton couldn’t run again so had no election concerns weighing on him when he pledged U.S. support. Kyoto has been a long, tough sell in countries that have the most to lose by its implementation. No doubt, some jobs will be lost as companies face the expensive, difficult task of cutting back on the production of emis- sions which cause air pollution. Greenhouse gases are produced most often by the burning of coal, oil and gas. To meet the Kyoto goals, businesses and consumers will be forced to cut back on their consumption, making the accord a challenge and hardship. But it would be foolish to bury our heads in the sand and say ‘no’ every time an opportunity to protect the en- vironment comes up. Kyoto was hashed out after years of talks between high-placed officials in countries through- out the world. While six per cent in reductions sounds like a small step, it’s nonetheless an effort to make a difference. Fol- lowing up on Kyoto will be the job of future world lead- ers. For now, we must show leadership and work to cut back on global warming and the health nightmares which will surely follow inaction. The other side of greenhouse gas reduction is the need for technology, innovation and, yes, even jobs, required to make Kyoto happen. There is a real opportunity for environmental protec- tion companies to come to the fore and make a difference now that Canada has shown a commitment to follow through. In the end, small steps will be needed year after year to provide clean air and water so that the quality of life we enjoy doesn’t deteriorate. This is one situation where the U.S. could learn some- thing from its little, less pollution-producing neighbour to the north. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 4, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Homosexuality bill must be blocked To the editor: It has come to my attention a very grave matter that concerns all Canada’s peoples: Evangels, Jew- ish, Roman Catholics and Mus- lims. Bill C-145 received second reading May 29. If this bill is passed into law it would in effect criminalize public criticism of homosexuality and produce a serious chilling effect on public discussion of this moral issue. Let’s assume for the sake of ar- gument Svend Robinson’s hate speech is passed into law. Under this new legislation it will be virtu- ally certain that pastors and priests who dare preach against homosex- uality will be charged with the crime of hate. They will be in dan- ger of spending two years in prison and will carry a criminal record for the rest of their lives. The same fate could befall any person who writes a letter to the ed- itor of a newspaper or publishes an article that is in any way critical of homosexuality. In fact, the Bible it- self may be banned for being ho- mophobic literature. At the moment, Bill C-145 is still in the hands of the Justice Committee and Christians who want to preserve our religious free- dom should bombard members of this committee with e-mails, letters and phone calls. Your letter to the editor of your local paper could do wonders. Finally, you may strike a blow for continual freedom by personal- ly calling your local MP and de- manding he vote against Bill C- 145. There isn’t much time. The bill may pass third and final reading in the fall and thereby could be the law of the land within the next two or three months. P.M. Mummery Bowmanville Earl Manners should quit playing politics To the editor: We often speak of the politi- cians who like to put their foot in their mouth, such as Prime Minis- ter Jean Chretien. Well, we had better take a long hard look at Earl Manners, presi- dent of the Ontario secondary school teachers union. His most recent outburst of dictatorship is “his” demand for a nine-per cent wage hike or “he” pulls the teach- ers out in February on a provincewide strike. I would strongly suggest Mr. Manners acquaint himself with the meaning of negotiations. You do not make a demand like that six months ahead of time. I say that from experience in negotia- tions. I am positive Mr. Manners’s high pay will continue even if the teachers are on strike and the stu- dents are not able to attend school. Think of the students who are in their last year before college. Why would Mr. Manners care as long as he retains his political job? He claims the teachers are tired of being used as pawns. Just what does he think he is doing to the students, parents and the taxpay- ers as a whole? Mr. Manners should enquire as to how long the life-saving nurses went without a contract and a threat before he compares nurses’ and teachers’contracts. Quit play- ing politics Mr. Manners.

With Canada’s Waste Reduction Week next month, it is a good time to continue to note, for the mayors’ chal- lenge event, the residential tonnage going to landfill from Pickering and Ajax. During July, Pickering sent 1,983 tonnes (22.52 per capita) while Aja- cians discarded 1,583 tonnes (23.62 per capita).

The Durham District School Board students received the last Monarch Youth Scholarships, ranging in value from $500 to $3,000, to be awarded at last week’s school board meeting. Funds for the scholarships were donated by the board of di- rectors of the Monarch Youth Auto Refinishers Project from the proceeds of the project’s liq- uidation. The project was initiat- ed as part of a community part- nership 17 years ago as an auto body repair shop business pro- viding training and counselling services for students. It ended in 1996 and its board of directors, together with Human Resources Development Canada, decided to donate the proceeds from the liq- uidation to a new scholarship fund for all Durham students. The recipients are moving on to study in the areas of math, sci- ence and technology. Ajax recipients are: Sarah MacKay, Jason Sharpe, Matthew Chase, Sabrina Frankland and Rebekah Skinner. Pickering re- cipients are: Rahma Warsame, Brandon Gifford, Sean Johnson and Ronald Brown. Under-22 team wins series over U.S. with help from Pickering woman BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —In her first taste of international competition, a Pickering hockey player helped the Canadian under-22 women’s hockey team to a series win over its U.S. counterparts. La Toya Clarke tallied three points in the three-game series at Lake Placid’s Olympic Centre in New York State, Aug. 21, 22 and 24. The talented forward scored the tying goal and added an assist in a 3-3 draw with the Ameri- cans in the series opener. Clarke drew an assist in Cana- da’s 5-1 romp in Game 2. The Canadians closed out the se- ries with a 3-1 victory. Despite her solid perfor- mance and emerging offensive prowess, Clarke said she was hoping to make even more of an impact. “Actually, I was expecting more of myself; I always set the bar kind of high for my- self,” said Clarke, who’s en- tering her junior season at the University of Minnesota. The 5-foot-3 forward was one of 29 players to be invited to the Canadian tryouts a week prior to the series. Donning the red-and-white Canadian jersey was a special moment for the Dunbarton High School graduate. “There is nothing quite like putting on a Canadian jersey with your name on it,” said the 21-year-old. The under-22 national squad is the training ground for the national women’s team, which earned gold at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. Clarke said she’s eager to take the next step up the women’s hockey ladder to the national squad. “That’s what I’ve been hoping for; it’s a lifelong dream of mine. I’m shooting for the Olympics, hopefully in (Torino) Italy in 2006,” she said.

Tel: (905) 428-8888•Fax: (905)428-8904 Lets Talk About Drive Cars usually come with three different options: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel (four Wheel) drive. Here are their differences: •Front-wheel drive- A vehicle which has most of its weight on the front wheels, usually between 60 and 70 percent, so that it tends to go straight, just like a nd arrow where the eight is concentrated in th e arrow ahead. On slippery surfaces, if you give it too much gas in a turn, the front wheels will spin, causing the car to skid straight ahead. Even an inattentive driver will inimediately realize there is a problem and let up on the gas, quickly regaining control. Most modern cars have front-wheel drive. •Rear-wheel drive- Most luxury cars over $40,000 have rear-wheel drive, as well as all race cars and most performance-oriented sports cars. Rear-wheel drive cars have their weight distributed closer to 50/50 between the front and rear wheels, which is conductive to a smoother, more stable ride. This weight distribution allows the car to have a greater maximum stopping power. However, these types of cars are not as effective under slippery conditions. •All-wheel drive- The best traction in adverse weather conditions can be achieve with all-wheel drive vehicles. These cars handle as well as, if not better than many rear-drive cars and are as safe and predictable during everyday driving conditions as front-wheel drive cars. They may, however be more expensive to purchase and repair. Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 4, 2002 Clarke shoots, Canada scores win PICKERING —The X-men hope to be super heroes in a drag- on boat in Rome this month. Thirteen teenaged athletes from Pickering and Scarborough, to- gether with 13 bankers from the RBC Financial Group, left Sunday for Rome to compete in the World Club Crew Championships of Dragon Boat Racing. The racing goes Sept. 6 to 8. The RBC X-Men, under the auspices of the Pickering Dragon Boat Club, is one of two entries from central Canada to race in the men’s open division. Garett McKinnon, a Pine Ridge Secondary School graduate and co-captain of the RBC X-Men, said attending the worlds is the thrill of a lifetime. “I have worked so hard for this for so long,” he said. “It feels awe- some to finally be rewarded with a chance to compete at the world championship level.” The participation of the 13 teenagers — part of the X-Pad- dling Collective, an entirely stu- dent-run, organized and operated dragon boat team in its first year of operation — is a major accom- plishment, noted head coach Brian Urbanik. “For high school students to compete at such an elite level is unheard of in this sport,” ex- plained Urbanik. “The average age of an elite dragon boat paddler like the RBC crew is 35 — the av- erage age of (X-Paddling) is 18. This honour is something that these kids can be proud of for the rest of their lives.” In the intense training leading up to the worlds, one member of the crew noted there have been lessons learned on both sides of the team’s generation gap. “We are going from fathers and sons to brothers,” said McKinnon. “Dragon boat is a team sport. Being in synch with your team- mates is everything; individual strength means nothing,” added Mike O’Neill, an RBC employee and co-captain. The RBC X-Men have trained exclusively in Pickering, utilizing the Pickering Dragon Boat Club’s training facility within the East Shore Marina and Frenchman’s Bay. “These guys have sacrificed a lot and braved extreme weather conditions, including sleet and snow to achieve this goal,” said Pickering Dragon Boat Club ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo Pickering’s La Toya Clarke represented Canada on the na- tional under-22 women’s hockey squad in a three game se- ries against the U.S. late last month.

X-Paddling’s summer included the championship at the Pickering Dragon Boat Chal- lenge on Frenchman’s Bay, third place at the Wildwood Invita- tional Regatta and first place at the Belleville Training Camp Regatta. At the Toronto International Dragonboat Festival, X-Paddling finished second, missing a trip to the World Championship in Hong Kong by mere seconds and inches. Meanwhile, the RBC Finan- cial Dragon team captured the championship at the Welland Sport Regatta and also won the Banker’s Cup at the Toronto fes- tival. Dragon boat crew set to paddle at worlds in Rome Members of the RBC X-Men dragon boat crew show their form while taking part in a re- cent practice session on Frenchman’s Bay. The team, with a number of members from Pickering, will paddle at the World Club Crew Champi- onships in Rome, Italy this week. The crew will compete in the men’s open division at the championships.

PANTHERS from page B1 Novice girls fall short AJAX —A young Toshiba Raiders novice girls’ fastball team didn’t just show up at the Provincial championships in Kingston recently. The Raiders fin- ished seventh in the province after a tough elimination loss to Windsor. Despite leading by a run in the top of the seventh in- ning, the Raiders couldn’t hang on as Windsor scored two runs in the bot- tom half to win 7- 6. The Ajax squad pounded out 12 hits in the loss while Windsor was held to five hits by solid pitching from Kirsten Roach and Carol McClary. Stephanie Naka- mura led the attack with three hits, in- cluding a double and a triple. Cassie Pesch also had three hits. Roach and Chantal Cas- tonguay added two hits apiece, while Leah Dobbin and Kaitlyn Kraehling each had one. Cas- tonguay recorded a two-out, bases- loaded single in the seventh to score what appeared to be the winning run before Windsor fought back. Ajax knocked out Byron from London with a 6-3 victory. Roach was credited with the win, allowing only three hits. Facing elimina- tion, Ajax mercied Clarkson 11-1 after five innings. McClary struck out eight batters in tak- ing the win. Lind- say Hill and Kraehling led the offence with two hits; Andrea Elliott, Pesch, Roach, Nakamura and Baird added one each. Melissa De Souza drew two bases-loaded walks and scored twice. Baird scored three runs. In the first game, the Raiders lost a close match to eventual bronze medallists Stouf- fville, 4-2. The team is comprised of girls from Ajax and Pickering. www.durhamregion.com NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 4, 2002 PAGE B3 P WHEN YOU PAY YOUR CARRIER!

As a sophomore last season, she helped the young and rebuilding Min- nesota team all the way to an unexpected berth in the NCAA ‘Frozen Four’ Na- tional Championship in Durham, New Hampshire. Entering the champi- onship as the number-one seed, the Golden Gophers fell 2-1 to the Brown Uni- versity Bears in the semifi- nal. During the regular sea- son, Minnesota went un- beaten in 24 games en route to both the regular- season crown and the over- all Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) title. Clarke fin- ished third in team scoring with 15 goals and 27 as- sists and was named to the WCHA all-star team that played against the U.S. na- tional women’s team. She explained she’s never played for such a close-knit team as last year’s Minnesota squad. “We had lost a lot of veterans and experienced players (from the season before), but we ended up uniting and being the epit- ome of what a team is,” said Clark. As for the league itself, Clarke said the WCHA of- fers some of the most com- petitive play around for young women. “It’s probably the best hockey there is for girls my age. It’s like playing in the pros. They fly you all over the place. They take care of you and you get to go to school, too,” said Clarke, who’s majoring in business. With last year’s success, Clarke admitted the expec- tations are even greater this season. Even more so because the team will play out of a brand new facility, Ridder Arena, built specif- ically for the women’s hockey team. “I’m really looking for- ward to it. We’re getting a new arena for women’s hockey — it’s a phenome- nal facility. I’m ecstatic about it,” she said, adding several U.S. Olympians will join the Minnesota roster this season. The hockey season gets under way in early Sep- tember with fitness testing during the first week of school, followed by on-ice workouts a week after that.

None other than Canadian designer Simon Chang will also be on the bill for the third fash- ion show in aid of the Heroes of Hope campaign for the Durham regional cancer centre. The Color Me Beautiful Gala Fash- ion Event is on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at Trafalgar Castle School in Whitby. The event supports the Heroes of Hope Campaign to build and equip an Oshawa facility that will bring cancer care closer to home. A hospital foundation spokesman says the event is an important one during the final strides of the campaign. “It’s pretty crucial we have as much community support as possible,” says Andrea Russell of the Oshawa General Hospital Foundation. “This is what we’re hoping a number of local groups will do.” The Heroes of Hope cam- paign will bring in $30 million for the cancer centre. So far, $22.5 million has been raised through major donors. The pub- lic portion of the fund-raising effort will wrap up in late spring. “The remaining 7.5 per cent is the most difficult,” Ms. Rus- sell notes. The foundation hopes to generate up to $12,000 from the fashion show. Local female and male mod- els of all shapes and sizes will parade the runway in fashions from Color Me Beautiful Bou- tique in Whitby and Churchills/Crossings in Os- hawa. They will offer a preview of fall and winter garments in- cluding casual dress, office at- tire and evening wear. “We’re looking forward to the fashions and evening,” says funding chairman and owner of Color Me Beautiful, Marie Hib- bert. The show will feature a vari- ety of designers, including Tommy Bahama, Votre Nom, and Chang, who will make a special appearance at the event. “I think he’s one of the top de- signers in Canada,” Ms. Hibbert adds. For fall and winter, corduroy, animal prints and the colours chocolate brown, pale blue and camel are in vogue. The event offers people the opportunity to update their looks, Ms. Hibbert says. This season’s show incorpo- rates a variety of men’s fash- ions. “It’s a lot of work and effort to put the show together,” notes Ms. Hibbert. She, her staff, and other show participants have been working on the event since the spring, scouting locations, organizing food and entertain- ment, lining up models and se- lecting outfits. Elegance Image Studio and Spa in Whitby is doing the models’ hair and makeup. Beverly Thomson, news an- chor for Global Television, will emcee the evening and musi- cian Dan Clancy will entertain. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. at the school at 401 Reynolds St. Tickets are $35 each which includes a cocktail, hors d’oeu- vres and a glass of wine. To get tickets, call the Oshawa Gener- al Hospital Foundation at 905- 576-8711, ext. 4176 or Color Me Beautiful at 905-666-5547.

And although they’re excit- ed, the 100-member Durham musical group is up for the challenge. After all, in its decade-long history, the chil- dren’s choir has performed in hit stage productions, sung be- fore national dignitaries and at major-league sporting events. “The Young Singers present two annual concerts,” says Anna Lynn Murphy, director- founder of the singing ensem- ble whose ages range from eight to 19. “The Young Singers, formerly known as the Young Singers of Ajax, do one at Christmas and another con- cert in the spring.” Each of these concerts is held locally in Ajax and Pickering (The Young Singers was formed in 1992 in co-operation with the Town of Ajax Recreation Services) but the choir has done its fair share of travel. “They did 75 performances of ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ with Donny Osmond at what is now The Hummingbird (Centre for the Performing Arts in Toron- to),” says a proud Murphy, who currently serves as clinician and project co-ordinator for the Durham District School Board’s ‘Vocalocity’ program. The Young Singers sang the na- tional anthem at SkyDome for the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club and at the Toronto Con- vention Centre for the Prime Minister. In July 1998, they flew to England to participate in the Canterbury International Choral Festival and to perform at Salisbury and Canterbury cathedrals, as well as at Canada House. One performance Mur- phy will never forget was the Millennium Concert on Parlia- ment Hill in Ottawa July 1, 2000. “We sang for over 75,000 people that day and were on na- tional television across the country,” she says. The group’s upcoming per- formances in The Enchanted Forest are also one that Murphy says will help the vocalists grow. The story is a simple one. One evening ‘Ariane’ gets lost in a forest and it’s getting dark. Together with members of the audience — Ariane’s friends: the Young Singers — enter the forest where they meet up with a wondrous cast of characters. “The Enchanted Forest has a challenging repertoire of music and dramatic skills,” says Mur- phy. “It’s a wonderful opportu- nity to work with such an in- credibly fine composer as Mur- ray Schafer. It’s an honour to work with someone of his ex- pertise. He’s known interna- tionally for his music and as a music educator.” The Enchanted Forest is composer Schafer’s ninth piece in a 12-part musical theatre composition called ‘Patria.’ Performances are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 13 and 14, and Thursday to Sun- day, Sept. 19-21, 7:30 p.m. at Wolverton Hills, 196 Waite Road, Pontypool. The unique theatre experi- ence takes place outside so au- dience members are encour- aged to wear walking shoes, warm clothing and insect repel- lent. Tickets are $40 for adults and $25 for students (service charge and GST included) and are available by calling 705- 741-4488 or 1-888-750-8222. For more information, visit www.patria.org. In the event of rain, an additional performance will be given Sept. 15 or 22. For more about the Young Singers, visit the Web site www.youngsingers.ca.

You can bet the Beemer doesn’t go quite so unnoticed back home in Texas, especially around the bar at El Paso Country Club, where he was expected to foot the bill Aug. 29 at a monstrous bash to celebrate his PGA tri- umph at Hazeltine. One club insider esti- mated the bar tab after Beem’s Inter- national victory was in the ballpark of $15,000, small potatoes for golf’s newest ATM machine. WORTH IT The Forecaddie’s “Better Safe Than Sorry Award” goes to Keith Hight, head pro at Cleveland (Tenn.) Country Club. Hight purchased hole-in- one insurance for the 11th annual March of Dimes Golf Classic on Aug. 19. Good thing. Sponsored by First American Equity, the hole-in-one contest offered a prize of $100,000. Within 45 minutes, local amateurs Matt Jenne (6-iron) and Steve Scoggins (5- iron) each aced the 181-yard 17th hole. An adjuster for insurer National Hole-in-One Association told Hight that the company has covered the cost of two cars won on the same day, but never two six-figure prizes. For the record, both Jenne and Scoggins forfeited their ama- teur status and kept the cash. DRIVING MISS BERTHA Callaway Golf is making a major push to win the PGA Tour driver count by offering $3,000 per week to anyone who uses its new Great Big Bertha II driver. The Forecaddie also hears the company will pay a $50,000 bonus to a player who wins with the driver. Three weeks after its first appearance on a PGA Tour practice range, there were 93 GBB II drivers in play Aug. 22- 25 on pro tours around the world. Among the converts was WGC-NEC Invitational winner Craig Parry. —Golfweek PGA (Through Sept. 1) 1.Tiger Woods . . . . . . . . $5,496,025 2. Phil Mickelson . . . . . . . $3,817,871 3.

Q:I’m pretty good at reading big breaks in greens but pretty poor at catching subtle ones. Would plumb-bobbing help me? How do you correctly plumb-bob a green? A:I’ve never been one to plumb-bob putts, but my old friend Mickey Wright always did, and appar- ently it worked: She won eight major tournaments in her prime, from 1958 to 1964. The idea is to hold your putter at arm’s length and let it hang down so that the shaft appears to form a straight line between your ball and the hole when you look at the line with your dominant eye (the one you nat- urally use when you peer through the viewfinder of a camera). If the hole is visible on the left side of the shaft, the putt will break right to left; if the hole appears to the right of the shaft, it will break left to right. But this method never did anything but confuse me. Mickey even agreed she used it only because it gave her “some- thing to do.” I guess if it reaf- firms the break you’ve already read, then it’s OK to make plumb-bobbing part of your preshot routine. But it’s not very reliable. I say, if a putt has a break that is so subtle you can’t see which way the ball is going to turn, aiming straight is always the safest bet. Getting the right speed on the putt is the most important thing to concen- trate on anyway. — Golf For Women magazine (www.golfforwomen.com) When Tiger stumbles, it’s good for the game — and for us nthony J. “Tony” Antonious woke up one day and saw the future of golf. Using Velcro on the closure at the back of golf gloves, Antonious, 85, received a U.S. patent and made tens of millions of dollars. He also made enemies. The dollars outnumber the enemies, although his critics aren’t shy. Says Joe Phillips, a 54-year veteran of Wilson Sporting Goods: “He was not well-liked. I can’t believe that guy is still around. I can’t believe some- body hasn’t shot him by now.” Phillips does not mean this literally. He is giving voice to a smoldering rage against what some see as the inequity of the U.S. patent system. Antonious, an inventor and holder of more than 300 U.S. patents, most of them relating to golf, sees it differently: His life, he will tell anybody, is the American dream come true. “I started with nothing,” he says. “My parents came over from Greece and couldn’t even speak the lan- guage. Nobody gave me any- thing; I earned it. This wonder- ful country provided me with the opportunity to make some- thing of myself, and I had a burning desire to be success- ful.” The way some of his critics describe him, Antonious is a bulldog who wraps himself in the American flag. Certainly, no other individual has challenged so many major golf companies in court — and won. Antonious profited enormously from the simplest of golf inventions. He began selling the deep-vent, quick-closure golf glove in late 1969. After he dis- played it at the 1970 PGA Merchandise Show in Miami, glovemakers around the world followed one of two tactics: They either licensed the concept from Antonious, or they tried to copy it without a license. He dragged the copycats into court, suing 14 golf companies, and he made, in his words, “many, many, many millions.” Simple math reveals that, after pay- ing his patent attorneys “many millions,” he was left with many, many millions. Antonious, who played his first round of golf when he was 48, lives on a course in Sarasota, Fla., where he remains an active inventor. His glove patent expired in 1988, but he tries not to dwell on past glories. (All royalties stop when patents expire.) His latest brainstorm, vertical grooves instead of horizontal grooves in the face of a metalwood, can be seen in the new Tour Trajectory driver from Merit Golf. Patent attorney Nick Aquilino, semi-retired and splitting his time between his office in Virginia and a home in Florida, has known Antonious for almost 30 years. “I’ve done work for Tony since the 1970s,” says Aquilino, at one time a scratch golfer. “He has a drive unlike any other inventor I have ever encoun- tered. He has several hundred golf patents, some of them fairly significant, and he continues to come up with new and innovative ideas.” Wilson settled with him for several million dollars after unsuccessfully battling in court over the Velcro closure glove. Mizuno, already having introduced the T-Zoid iron, discovered that the iron’s weight distrib- ution scheme, or a likeness of it, had been patented by Antonious. Eventually, Mizuno shelled out a few million to acquire the patent. “Sure, I remember when we settled with him,” says Phillips, the Wilson veteran who serves as a consultant to the company. “You want to know my opinion? He just patented everything in sight, whether he invented the product or not. He let every- body use Velcro, and then after they were successful, he said: ‘I own that patent, you owe me royalties.’ He was very intelligent, and he knew how to play that game.” Barney Adams, founder and CEO of Adams Golf, wonders, “How can anybody patent weight distribu- tion in an iron? We (golf club manufacturers) have been distributing and redistributing weight forever and ever. I can’t tell you I understand it, because I don’t.” Antonious is, well, Antonious. He is proud and stubborn. He may be viewed as a money-grubbing appendage of the U.S. patent system, but the way he sees it, his life is all about God, country and the rights of the ordinary citizen. Recalling his many appearances in front of juries, he says, “These are my ideas, my inventions. When I go to court, I have to say what’s in my heart. Within five minutes, the jurors know who is wearing the white hat. “Some of them (golf companies) are just spitting in the face of the USA. They won’t honor a patent unless you force them to do it. I can’t stand that. You act like that, and I will come at you like a banshee.” The accumulation of money has not stopped Antonious from pursuing his goals of acquiring more patents and advising more people, particularly senior citizens. Even a bout with prostate cancer has not slowed him. Ed Abrain, who was president of three golf com- panies (Wilson, PowerBilt and Aldila) and who recently retired from the Acushnet Co., says Antonious is genuine. Abrain, who was the Titleist product manager for clubs and accessories in the early 1970s, was one of the few people in golf who urged his company to pay royalties to Antonious for the Velcro glove. “I’ve got to be honest,” Abrain says. “Everybody in the industry I talked to, with the exception of (FootJoy co-founder) Dick Tarlow, felt that this was a crazy guy who was making claims about a utility patent that weren’t going to hold up. Everybody thought you were nuts if you signed any agreement with him. “And Dick said to me, ‘Look, do you want to be in the glove business?’Dick had a strange wisdom. He said, ‘If you can’t make money in the glove busi- ness paying that percentage (to Antonious), then you’re not going to be in the glove business anyway. It’s not the percentage that is going to make or break you.’He was right, and I went back to Titleist and convinced them that this guy wasn’t the cuckoo clock everybody said he was. In the long run, Titleist probably paid a lower percentage and certainly avoided the expense of any court battle with Tony.” The official royalty percentage was 5 percent of the wholesale selling price, although Antonious and his attorneys offered some special deals. FootJoy’s first payments were 5 cents per glove, and Antonious said he immediately made about $500,000 per year from FootJoy. “This was important to me,” Antonious said, “because I wanted to give a substan- tial amount of money to my church.” He can be a captivating man. He will speak for hours about his inventions, including a new glove he is perfecting. “You won’t believe how good it is,” Antonious says proudly. Patents are the American way. Increasingly, so are patent lawsuits. “It’s a way of life in golf,” says Barney Adams. “It’s simply the way the game is played.” And nobody plays that game more skillfully than Antonious. BY JAMES ACHENBACH Golfweek oving day,” my butt. A strong argu- ment could be made that Tiger Woods lost a potential 2002 Grand Slam because of a Saturday at Muirfield and a Saturday at Hazeltine. The fact that Tiger has lost two consecutive majors because he folded his tent on Saturday — “losing day” — is no mys- tery to me. Just when you think you have the game figured out, it slaps you in the face. Woods is not immune to rough treat- ment. At the British Open, he shot a third-round 81 on moving day. Tiger ended up six strokes behind champion Ernie Els for 72 holes, but consider that he lost seven strokes to Els (39 to 32) on Saturday’s back nine. At the PGA Championship, Tiger made only one birdie dur- ing a third-round 72. His cumu- lative stroke averages for the 2002 majors are: first round, 69.5; second round, 68.5; third round, 72.25; fourth round, 68.75. Ouch! On losing day, he was almost three strokes higher than any other round. Weather was a huge factor on Saturday at the British and PGA. Wind, rain and cold com- bined for nasty conditions at the British. An unrelenting wind invaded the PGA. This was entirely appropriate: The last time I looked, golf was still an outdoor game, subject to the whimsy of Mother Nature. You might say I am picking on Tiger, but I do this only because he is, with apologies to Muhammad Ali, the greatest. Jack Nicklaus has him on longevity, but Tiger is chasing and overtaking all Jack’s records with an eraser. The current rundown of vic- tories in professional majors has Nicklaus on top with 18 and Walter Hagen in second place with 11. However, the Western Open, which Hagen won five times, widely was considered a major until 1934, when the Masters was first played. If you count those Western Open wins, Hagen has 16. No other player has reached double digits. Ben Hogan and Gary Player are tied for third with nine, while Woods and Tom Watson are next with eight. Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer and Gene Sarazen have seven apiece, one more than Lee Trevino. Byron Nelson has five. Hogan and Snead each won the Western Open twice, but these victories came well after the Masters had established itself as a major championship. When Tiger loses a major, it is good for the game. Because it gives hope to all would-be champions. Also, there is a more significant reason. So often, Tiger turns golf into child’s play. He appears to be able to hit every par-5 in two. He regularly drills 275-yard tee shots with his 2-iron. Only three elements seem able to stop him, and usually it takes all three together: narrow fairways, high rough and wild weather. When Tiger stumbles in the same way we stumble, it is good for the game. It demon- strates that nobody is above the law, so to speak. It puts a more human face on Tiger. It reminds us that golf and nature will not be conquered. The two best players in golf have now lost five consecutive majors (two for Tiger, three for Annika Sorenstam). Looking ahead, the 2003 majors will be fascinating — to see how Tiger rebounds from two agonizing major setbacks, and to see how Annika confronts her growing reputation as an underachiever in majors.

Last Wednesday, the Re- gion’s works committee voted to proceed with the purchase of compost containers to be used in weekly roadside pickup of kitchen scraps in four of Durham’s eight municipalities. The program is now expected to start in late fall along with an expanded Blue Box program. Separation of organic mater- ial is a significant step in di- verting waste out of landfill and a positive move for the en- vironment, said Rod Muir, ex- ecutive director of Waste Di- version Toronto, on hand for the committee’s meeting. “Sending a head of lettuce to (a landfill site in) Michigan, to bury it 50 feet in the ground soils the air, soils the land and soils the water. Meanwhile we pour fertilizer and pesticide on our increasingly depleting farmland. It makes no sense. The logic of composting is per- fect.” The recommendation fol- lows months of debate on the type and size of container to be used for the new program. While there was consensus on the concept of separated organ- ic collection, the committee and council were divided on how it should be implemented. But as the committee made its recommendations to pur- chase a kitchen counter con- tainer and a 30-litre curbside collection container from Otto Canada, a US-based company, there was a sense of relief and jubilation from the majority of committee members and the mayors of Clarington, Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock. “It’s an opportunity to do good things and lead the way,” said Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, reiterating com- ments from the four mayors. “This is right on the edge. We’re making a big stride.” The committee also ap- proved purchase of an initial box of biodegradable liners for each participating household. After the samples are finished, residents will be responsible for purchasing their own liner bags from retail outlets. Although residents will have the option of using any liner –– plastic, biodegradable or paper –– in their containers, works committee chairman Rick Johnson said he hopes to see the day when no plastic bags will be used in the system. “One of the major concerns of mine has been bags in com- post. Debagging is an expen- sive process,” he said. “If com- post comes clean in the truck it will be a lesser cost (at the compost facility). I’m hoping one day to get rid of that.” The current cost of collec- tion and disposal of the food waste, including debagging the organics, is $75 per tonne. That compares to $66 per tonne to send garbage to land- fill. However, notes Peter Wat- son, the Region’s manager of waste, the cost of composting could become lower over time. “We’re at the beginning of a new program. If the cost of composting kitchen organics is approximately the same as landfilling garbage then the Re- gion will have achieved its goal of diverting more waste from landfill in order to achieve our 50 per cent waste diversion goal.” There is a good chance the Region’s cost will be further re- duced under a new provincial waste diversion-funding pro- gram being introduced in 2003. How much money the Province will provide for or- ganic waste diversion isn’t yet known, says Mr. Watson. He notes the price of organ- ic collection could come down further as it becomes a more popular option with other mu- nicipalities. “There aren’t a lot of major organic composting facilities in Ontario. However as these kinds of proactive programs... become more common in mu- nicipalities it is anticipated more composting facilities will be developed to accommodate the need and the price will probably become more com- petitive.” In order to get the program under way, the works commit- tee is recommending the Re- gion invest $536,000 for the containers for households in the four municipalities, another $87,360 for the liner bags to be used in the kitchen containers and $94,500 for distribution of the materials by Metroland Printing, Publishing & Distrib- uting Ltd. In all cases, the prices approved were the low- est per unit submitted during tender. The decision of the works committee must be approved by Regional council at its meet- ing Sept. 11 before proceeding. A study is under way to look at other organic collection op- tions, including the use of large aerated organic containers and containers that can be picked up by automated garbage trucks, as part of consultations with the remaining four munic- ipalities. Those areas may get organic collection as early as 2003, Mr. Watson said.
