The City launched the new site Thursday, April 5, offering more ways to discover City Hall and all its departments. In addi- tion, the site offers information about upcoming community events, current construction pro- jects, a customer care centre, leisure opportunities, unique characteristics about Pickering, and a number of other activities within the city. “We want to make the Web site great for all people” said Nancy Johnstone, the site’s de- signer . Internet users can also e-mail any member of City council through the site. And until May 4, local resi- dents can try the new site out at computer terminals in the foyer at City Hall.The terminals are avail- able from 8:30a.m. to 4:30p.m. The City of Pickering is also in the process of completing a kids’Web site.

Junior Achievement wants your expertise DURHAM —Junior Achieve- ment of Durham Region needs help to keep up with the demand for its programs in local schools. The not-for-profit group pro- vides business and life-planning programs to Durham students, ages five to OAC, at no cost to students or school boards.The programs teach young people about business and economics in a unique and exciting way. With 100 schools on the JA waiting list, volunteers are need- ed to donate a short period of time to help provide the pro- grams. Most programs are deliv- ered in one day, and volunteers receive professional training, de- velop leadership, presentation and facilitation skills and have the opportunity to be a positive role model.

Doug Ludlow found himself in a spot of trou- ble on the 9th hole at Annandale Golf and Curling Club in Ajax last week during an early outing. Though warm, spring weather is still hard to come by these days, it hasn’t stopped local golf buffs from heading to the links to work on their games. Several clubs in Durham Region are now open for business. BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Local high school teacher representatives say an uncompromising provincial government means the recommendations of the after-school activities panel will lead to naught. The panel, appointed by Education Minister Janet Ecker to recommend what can be done to restore activities to Ontario high schools, has sug- gested teachers be credited on their timetable for taking part in sports and other activities. It also wants the Province and teachers’ unions to meet im- mediately and reach a consen- sus on what constitutes a teacher’s mandatory and vol- untary duties, stressing this is vital to a solution. Ms. Ecker has said the gov- ernment will meet with its ed- ucation partners and look at the panel’s proposals. Bob McDonnell, Durham secondary president of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, said while there’s a willingness on the part of teachers to sit down with the government and dis- cuss workload and other is- sues, he doubts it is shared. “The government doesn’t seem willing to meet, they want to do everything by proclamation,” he said. “I don’t know how you can ever reach an agreement when one side is making all the deci- sions.” Crediting teachers for tak- ing part in activities “has po- tential”, but Mr. McDonnell added “I’m not sure it would- n’t be easier to go back to the way we were, where people taught six” of eight classes every two days. Implementing a credit sys- tem would create “just another layer of bureaucracy,” he said. Shelley Page, Durham president of the Ontario Sec- ondary School Teachers’ Fed- eration, noted a number of recommendations, such as raising class sizes by a student and having extra teachers to cover for colleagues doing ac- tivities, would cost money the government is unwilling to spend. She, too, questioned the credit system, since the panel states it would involve indi- vidual teachers making con- tracts to commit to the activi- Pickering governance study put on hold Future role of Greater Toronto Services Board in question BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer PICKERING —A gover- nance study commissioned by Pickering and Oshawa councils is being delayed until the role of the Greater Toronto Services Board (GTSB) has been clari- fied. The Berkeley Consulting Group, which was hired by the two municipalities to study the issue of municipal restructur- ing in Durham, has recom- mended the study be postponed until the board and the Province have dealt with the GTSB matter. The GTSB is set to debate a report this Friday, which sug- gests four possible options for its future. And, the consultants have advised the two City councils to delay any debate on reform until a final decision has been made. Pickering’s chief adminis- trative officer Tom Quinn said Tuesday the consultants are concerned that if they move forward with their report now, prior to the GTSB issue being resolved, their study could quickly become outdated. “We have received nothing from them except that the Berkeley Consulting team feels they cannot complete the study until they have the final com- ments from the GTSB... that’s what we’re getting,” he said. He added a letter from Berkeley did not indicate they wanted to wait for a final deci- sion from the Province. Pickering council voted last year to join forces with Os- hawa on the study to evaluate governance options here. Councillors have agreed to contribute up to $37,000 to- wards the study. Meanwhile, Regional coun- cillors are planning to address the issue of governance at a re- treat being held from May 16 to 18 at the Fern Resort near Orillia. Expect the worst on extracurriculars: Unions Future looks ‘absolutely bleak’ WAYNE ARTHURS ‘Reporting...the initiatives we have undertaken.’ DURHAM ––Two women preparing to compete in the World Transplant Games in Kobe, Japan this August called on Regional council Wednesday to sup- port Organ Donor Awareness Week. Sandra Holdsworth of Blackstock, a liver transplant recipient, and Linda Rumble of Whitby, a member of a donor family, were on hand to promote Organ Donor Awareness Week, which runs across Canada from April 22 to 29. The pair also encouraged the Region to recognize the importance of organ donation by either setting up a memor- ial garden for donor families or participating in the presen- Pickering students get some breathing room Two-storey addition to St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School approved BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer PICKERING ––Catholic school board trustees have ap- proved plans for a two-storey addition to St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Elementary School in Pickering. The project will add over 13,000 square feet and 245 pupil places to the Stroud’s Lane school, one of the most overcrowded Catholic ele- mentary schools in Durham Region. It’s expected to be ready when students return to school this September. Built with a rated capacity for 530.5 students, the school has a population of more than 900 pupils, some of whom are accommodated in 11 porta- bles on the site. Two more will be added during the construction peri- od, and all portables will be relocated to the school’s west playing field. Ten portables will be re- moved when the work is fin- ished. (Parents) “will be pleased,” said Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira, “because they see portables, quite rightly, as in- fringing on the playground area.” Pickering Trustee Jim Mc- Cafferty described the project as “a welcome addition” that has been “a long time com- ing”. He noted the school opened with one empty class- room but almost immediately required portables to house a burgeoning student popula- tion. The addition is a compo- nent of the board’s 20-year capital strategic plan, ap- proved in January, which was accompanied by a school ac- commodation plan covering the next few years. Paul Weppler, of Saccoc- cio Weppler Architects Inc., told trustees the addition would be built at the north- west end of the school. Four classrooms and a seminar room will be built on the ground floor, and six class- rooms and a seminar room are slated for the second floor. Some renovations to the art and science rooms will be re- quired as part of the project, resulting in the need for the two extra portables.

As well, since not all teachers could receive credit, the system “would lead to inconsistency of ap- plication, inconsistency of opportuni- ty.” She said if the government gave teachers credit for more of the work they do, teachers would not be in the position of having to choose their pri- mary duties over taking part in activ- ities. The panel urged teachers’ unions not to pressure colleagues who choose to do activities, but Ms. Page rejected that it even occurs. She said she has never had a talk with anyone about his or her participation in ex- tracurriculars. “It has nothing to do with the union; I categorically reject that no- tion,” said Ms. Page. She said since teachers are a close group, individuals may feel pressure in taking part when other colleagues are not. Ms. Page said there’s “not a chance” the government will follow through on the recommendations, since it would require some back- tracking on the part of the provincial government. That would be admitting the government has done some things incorrectly, and is not in the cards, she said. The prospect of a return of activi- ties for local students thus remains “absolutely bleak,” said Ms. Page.

Provincial boost helps hospital balance budget Ajax site of Rouge Valley to get most of $5.2 million in one-time funding BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer AJAX —The Ajax and Pickering Health Centre (APHC) will be prepared “to better respond to the needs of the community” thanks to the investment of $5.2 mil- lion in new operating fund- ing announced by the Province Monday. Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge MPP Janet Ecker and Scar- borough East MPP Steve Gilchrist were on hand at the hospital to hand over a cheque for $5.2 million to the Rouge Valley Health System (RVHS), which in- cludes the APHC and Cente- nary Health Centre in Scar- borough. “Every time we come to the hospital, it’s good news,” Mr. Gilchrist said, telling a crowd gathered in the hospi- tal’s west lobby that his gov- ernment has increased hospi- tal spending by more than $1 billion this year, bringing the total invested in health care to $8.4 billion in Ontario. “That’s the most money that’s ever been spent (on health care) in the history of the province,” he said. “The economy has grown to the point we can afford to make these massive investments.” The funding announce- ment for the RVHS was part of an investment of $177 million in one-time funding that will help support 68 hos- pitals across Ontario. The funding is intended to help put hospitals in a better fi- nancial position to improve service delivery. “The money has allowed us to balance our budget for this past year,” said Bruce Cliff, chief operating officer for the APHC, noting the Ajax site will receive the ma- jority of the $5.2 million. He reports because of the growth in the community, the hospital has hired new nursing staff and has invest- ed in various services, in- cluding maternal and new- born services, and has added 16 new beds. This past year has also seen an increase in surgery, which has gone up by 20 per cent over the previous year, as well as higher demands on the emergency room due a greater volume of patients, he said. “It goes in all areas,” Mr. Cliff said of the new funding. “It just allows us to better re- spond to the needs of the community and it will cer- tainly prepare us well for the coming year.” However, Mr. Cliff re- ports there is no room at the hospital for any further addi- tions next year. “We’re full. We have no more space for beds,” he said, noting the next step will be a hospital expansion. And, that’s something that’s going to take a com- mitment from all levels of government, Ms. Ecker said. She noted the hospital was built through partner- ships and said while “the Province continues to invest in health care... we need the support and partnership of our Regional government as well.” In an interview, she said the Region’s support of local hospital expansions is “criti- cal. “Hospitals have always been built by community support,” said Ms. Ecker, noting every level of govern- ment needs to come to the table to help. “One level of government just can’t do it alone.” The minister also said she believes the Province should consider amending the Develop- ment Charges Act to allow mu- nicipalities to levy development charges for the capital expansion of hospitals. “Development charges are meant to pay for growth,” she added, noting hospital expan- sions are needed as a result of growth in the community and should be part of that infrastruc- ture.

We All Benefit From Durham Hospital Expansion Benefiting Durham Region’s Economy Urgently needed hospital expansion will mean we can continue to provide you with the quality care you need, when you need it, close to home. But it doesn’t stop there – it means a payback in terms of jobs and a stronger economy too! Already the Durham hospitals make a significant contribution to the Region’s Economy: • 4th largest employer • Employees spend $181 million a year locally • Hospitals spend approximately $77 million every year on supplies and services. Hospital expansion will mean: • Over 700 new hospital jobs in Durham • 4,800 new hospital and community related construction jobs alone • Millions more spent on goods and services leading to increased growth and jobs • Increased attraction of Durham as a desirable location for research, development, health services and education investment and employment • A more attractive place to locate or expand a business, contributing to more jobs and a healthier economy. Patients Benefit Most Durham Hospital Expansion - because it’s the right thing to do! tation of memorial plaques to donor families. “It would help to perpetuate the lives or our donors if we remember them on a regular basis,” said Ms. Rumble, who became involved with the Canadian Transplant Association after her two- year-old nephew, Stuart Heriott, was killed in an accident seven years ago. Six months after her nephew’s death, Ms. Rumble started lobbying the feder- al government to officially recognize National Organ and Tissue Awareness Week. On Feb. 19, three years to the day after the accident, she sat in the House of Commons and watched the private member’s bill known as the ‘Stu Buddy’s Bill’pass into law. “Every gift is precious,” she said. “You can improve the quality of life for others and save lives.” Ms. Holdsworth, who underwent a liver transplant in 1997, reported 28 people in Durham Region are currently waiting for organ transplants. She added, “in case something does happen to us, I really think we should consider organ donation.” “The gift of life is a different type of heroism,” said Durham Chairman Roger Anderson, in reference to the ‘heroes’ council honoured earlier that morning during the Durham Regional Police Civilian Awards. “We will be declaring Organ Donor Awareness Week,” he added, noting the pair is welcome to attend a council meeting at anytime to present a plaque to a donor family. The retreat is intended to ensure councillors can meet the self-imposed deadline of June 30 when the Region intends to submit its comments on the issue to the Province for consideration. Pickering Mayor Wayne Arthurs re- ports the Berkeley study was to initial- ly wrap up this month so the City could report the study’s conclusions as part of the Regional process. However, even though that study will not be finished in time for the Re- gional retreat next month, the mayor says the City will still provide input. “We will be reporting to the Region on the initiatives we have undertaken,” the mayor says, noting the City will report on the work it has done with re- gard to the amalgamation of its transit service with Ajax and its participation in the Region’s Who Does What process. He adds a delay in the Berkeley study means the consultants will be able to “provide us with the best infor- mation they can.” However, Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner reported the City has not yet met with Oshawa to consider the consultant’s recommen- dation to delay the report. “We’d like to have an opportunity to discuss it,” he said. “I don’t see a point in delaying it, not over the GTSB.” He noted the current debate on the future of the GTSB won’t impact the governance structure within the 905 regions and believes the study should move ahead.

AJAX (NORTH OF 401, SOUTH OF HWY #2) Taking precautions against overexposure to the sun will diminish the chances of melanoma. April is ‘Cancer Awareness Month’ and will go hand in hand with the Canadian Cancer Society’s campaign to raise over $25 million in the battle against the deadly disease. Thousands of volunteers will be going door to door for donations in coordination with the many fund raising and media events being held throughout the country. This year’s theme is ‘Let’s Make Cancer History’ and will focus on how cancer can eventually be eradicated. The Canadian Cancer Society works in conjunction with the National Cancer Research Institute of Canada. The funds raised will support research and public education programs focusing on risk reduction, early detection and prevention. The money also goes to support services for people already experiencing the disease. Although the presence of most cancers may increase because of advancing age, the public should be aware that prevention is better than the cure. For instance, recent statistics show that lung cancer and death rates for Canadian women today are four times what they were in 1970 because of an increase in smoking. A better diet will lessen the chances of colon and prostate cancer and taking precautions against overexposure to the sun will diminish the chances of melanoma. To find out more about local events, contact your provincial office of the Society.

Curves for Women, which opened in Ajax, one year ago, is one of the fastest growing fitness franchises in North America. On average, a new location opens every day. Curves is a unique concept in the exer- cise service industry. It provides an exer- cise facility and weight loss counseling in the same place. Company founder Gary Heavin says, “Before Curves, towns with a population of less than 50,000 did not have women- only exercise facilities. Our Quickfit Circuit allows us to provide a quality facility in the smaller population market. Quickfit is a breakthrough in technology, which allows us to offer a superior facili- ty in under 1,000 square feet.” The Quickfit Circuit is a system of exercise that alternates hydraulic resis- tance machines with aerobic recovery stations. There are 18 stations that tone every muscle in the body and target women’s problem areas, such as the tummy, thighs, hips and arms. With con- ventional equipment, they need an hour and a half. Under the Quickfit System, it only takes 30 minutes. fuel. If you drastically lower your body’s energy needs each time you diet, you will always gain your weight back. The key to permanent results is lean muscle. When a woman loses 20 pounds with us, it is entirely body fat. Strength training pro- tects and increases lean tissue, and raises metabolism. Older people lose lean muscles due to inactivity and are often afraid of injuries. With the Quickfit System they can enjoy the benefits of strength training without fear of injury. Studies have shown that rehabilitation can be achieved more safely using hydraulics, rather than weight stack apparatus. These same studies have shown that bone density is markedly increased, thereby lessening the chance of bone fractures even in the face of diminishing estrogen levels with age. We see this as preventing health prob- lems before they occur, rather than treat- ing them. It keeps women from getting to a point where they need treatment. Curves for Women is celebrating their first anniversary and their hours of oper- ation have been extended. Call Monday to Friday to set up an appointment and to view the facility and workout free of charge.

A lengthy investigation by Durham Regional Police fraud squad detectives revealed 82 customer debit and credit cards were “double- swiped” at the Sunoco at 1800 Brock Rd. between June 20 and July 9 of last year. The personal data skimmed from the cards was later used to defraud the victims’ banks to the tune of $139,798.54 over the next month, po- lice said. An arrest warrant has been issued for an ex-employee who worked at the station during the period in which the cards were compromised. Police said Naved Yousuf, 31, is wanted on 18 charges of possession and trafficking of credit card data as well as fraud over $5,000. He is described as South Asian, five-feet 11-inches tall, with brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with in- formation of his whereabouts is asked to call the major fraud unit at 905- 579-1520, ext. 5282, or Crime Stop- pers at 1-800-222-TIPS. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 18, 2001 PAGE A5 A/P Former gas station employee sought in credit card scam Police nab three following street robberies DURHAM ––Durham Regional Police arrested and charged three teenaged boys and an adult following a pair of street robberies in Ajax and Pickering last Friday. Police said a 16-year-old boy, walking with a friend on West Shore Boulevard in Pickering, was punched in the face and threatened by one of four young thugs armed with a base- ball bat and bottle at 12:30 a.m. The bandits fled in a vehicle after robbing the victims of personal possessions. The second mugging happened an hour later on Mandrake Street in Ajax and police were provided with the li- cence plate number of a suspect vehi- cle. A car was stopped a short time later in the area of Westney Road and Hwy. 2 and police arrested four occu- pants and recovered stolen property. Three 17-year-old boys, two from Pickering and one from Markham, and a young man whose name and age were not available, face various charges of robbery, threatening and assault. Ajax man struck by car Investigation continues into early morning collision AJAX ––A 52-year-old Ajax man struck by a car while crossing Har- wood Avenue early Sunday is in stable condition with two broken legs and head injuries. Durham Regional Police said the man was crossing north of Kings Crescent when he was hit by a north- bound Chevy Corsica at 1:40 a.m. He was taken to the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre and later transferred to St. Michael’s Hospital, where he was listed in serious but stable condition. Constable Mark Stone, of the traf- fic management unit, said the investi- gation is still continuing. The 43-year-old driver of the car, an Ajax woman, was not injured.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ‘Caring, loving’ teens making a difference To the editor: As the co-ordinator for a ‘spe- cial children’s swim program’, I feel it is time I wrote a letter in praise of a group of individuals who often get sadly maligned — teenagers. This program funded by the United Way of Ajax-Pickering and completely run by volunteers has come and gone. The program is one that allows children with special needs to have the opportu- nity to learn how to swim, to feel a sense of accomplishment and to feel better about themselves. Be- cause of their special needs, they require one-on-one assistance. As the years have gone by, I have never been short of teenage volunteers, who offer their time willingly, and selflessly. They are caring and loving, enthusiastic and generous. In no way do they resemble the ‘typical’ teenager so frequently criticized in the news. These teenagers connect with their charges in a way that is a delight to see. To all the teenagers: you are a delight to work with, and you have my utmost respect. I could not do it without you. Paddy Brander, Pickering Region has to pipe up and make a stand against York To the editor: York Region has now filed its final environmental assessment with the Ontario environment minister for the proposed pipeline project up Whites Road from Lake Ontario in Pickering. The Pickering Community Working Group (PCWG) has filed 20 pages of mitigation issues and demanded they be included in the final version, if the EA is ap- proved. But the group’s main goal right now is to stop York Region as a community. In this fight, we have reached out to our politicians for help. Pickering council has officially opposed the pipeline, and our Re- gional councillors, Maurice Bren- ner, Mark Holland, Rick Johnson and Mayor Wayne Arthurs have tabled a motion at Durham council to say no as well. On May 1, a special committee of the Region will meet to consid- er the issue, and make a recom- mendation to Regional council. Petitions with more than 500 names have been sent to each Re- gional councillor to demonstrate the strong opposition of the pub- lic. As well, they have received copies of 69 letters from citizens, businesses, and school boards op- posing the project. On behalf of the community so heavily impacted by this Pipeline, we ask the Region of Durham for its support. Just say no to York Re- gion. Don’t let them use Durham land for their project. Don’t let the issue get buried in the snarled agendas of subcommittees. Take a bold stand on behalf of the citizens of Pickering and tell York Region it’s not wanted here. Don Brooks Treasurer, PCWG Pickering EDITORIAL Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty has apologized for calling a Pro- gressive Conservative cabinet min- ister corrupt, but he and his party are far from off the hook over it. Mr. McGuinty made the allega- tion against Tony Clement, who as environment minister in 1999 wrote to Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson mentioning he had received new information from a developer about availability of sewage services in an area where he hoped to build. Mr. Clement asked the Region to consider this information carefully and inform him of its response. Mr. McGuinty took this as an undue attempt to influence devel- opment and accused Mr. Clement of being corrupt on TV and radio, where his comments were not pro- tected from a lawsuit as they are in the legislature. Developers often donate gener- ously to the Tories and obviously feel they get something in return, but corruption is a criminal offence and Mr. Clement sued, saying Mr. McGuinty besmirched his name. This was not a case where Mr. McGuinty could prove a minister gave a benefit in return for money, which would have been required to prove corruption, and after 15 months of pondering it, Mr. McGuinty apologized without reservation. The Liberal leader is not the only politician forced to apologize in recent times. Premier Mike Har- ris said he was sorry after he of- fered compensation to the three surviving, exploited Dionne quin- tuplets, which the public said was paltry. The premier then rushed to their homes and increased it and even took them a cake. The premier also apologized to the town of Walkerton for wrongly accusing it of spending available money on arenas rather than sewers and to dancer Karen Kain because security guards stopped her tiptoe- ing into the legislature building car- rying petitions protesting his cuts in arts funding. New Democrat leader Howard Hampton apologized for saying Mr. McGuinty looks like Norman Bates, the creepy murderer in the celebrated movie ‘Psycho’ played by Anthony Perkins, although it was clearly accurate and meant as a joke. Mr. Hampton apologized also for his storming into a press gallery member’s office to express irrita- tion about the way he was being re- ported on to the point she felt threatened by the intrusion. Few in the public probably re- member these confessions, but Mr. McGuinty’s is guaranteed a longer life, first, because he dragged tax- payers into substantial costs, all or some of which could have been avoided. The legislative assembly pays an insurance company premi- ums to cover the cost of defending an MPP who is sued for libel, a rar- ity. The only similar case was in 1989 when Liberal MPP Steve Ma- honey instructed lawyers to take out a writ against then NDP leader Bob Rae for suggesting he received personal benefits for pushing for development in his riding. Mr. Rae apologized so hurriedly it never cost any money. Mr. McGuinty’s Liberals say they do not know his costs yet. But libel actions are expensive because few lawyers specialize in them and preparations for Mr. McGuinty’s defence went on over l5 months. He did not do all he could to short- en this time, nor come close to pro- viding the mitigation such as prompt regret or a retraction which is usually taken into account by courts and parties. The Liberals instead maintained they would be proven right and rel- ished going to court to embarrass Mr. Clement on the witness stand. Almost to the day Mr. McGuinty abandoned his defence they were ridiculing Mr. Clement as a “pansy‚ running to sue” instead of accept- ing politics is a tough game in which politicians tend to call each other names. Mr. McGuinty’s legal costs meanwhile mounted so they are now estimated at “at least tens of thousands of dollars.” The insur- ance company will pay them, less any deductibles, but presumably in- crease its premiums to recover them. The premiums do not compen- sate an MPP who sues for libel, so Mr. Clement’s costs of about $100,000 (another example lawyers do not come cheap) will be paid by the Province, which de- fends ministers against lawsuits brought against them when they act in performance of their duties. The Tories and New Democrats will now be eager to remind voters Mr. McGuinty, who is far ahead of them in the polls, spent taxpayers’ money defending against a libel suit he later admitted was justified. The Liberal leader also has left himself open to criticisms his case has similarities to that of Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day, who while a minister in Alberta suggested a lawyer who defended a man convicted of possessing child pornography must share his client’s personal views. He was sued for libel and cost taxpayers there nearly $800,000 damages and costs. It is no help to a politician these days to be likened to Stockwell Day.

Sorry lot works to make amends Apologies rampant, but public pays with costly libel suits Eric Dowd At Queen’s Park YOU SAID IT The question was: Do you think the release of the extracurriculars panel’s report will mean a return of sports and clubs to Ontario high schools? Trevor Waldron said,“I hope so. I would like to see sports back. It’s fun, exciting and takes kids off the streets.” Daniel Lopez said,“Definite- ly yes. It is im- portant for stu- dents.” Launa Thistel said,“It should. It’ll be better for kids to have something to do after school.” The foundation for a solution But Province, teachers must agree on extracurriculars answer Feds wage butt battle Higher taxes, other means needed to prevent deadly habit The time for talk is over. Ontario Education Minister Janet Ecker on Thursday re- ceived the recommendations of her handpicked panel on ex- tracurriculars — or ‘co-instructional activities’as the Province has come to call them — and agrees to the “value” of the work done. Here in Durham Region — ground zero for the with- drawal of extracurricular activities in high schools — the re- port was met with a measure of disappointment by a Durham- based group seeking the complete revival of sports and clubs. Somewhere between the “value” seen by Ms. Ecker and the disappointment expressed by the Durham Coalition of Ex- tracurricular Activities lies the solution. The panel came up with 16 recommendations, all of which were formed following a series of stops in communities across Ontario. The group believes teachers should offer extracurric- ulars on a voluntary basis and not be forced by the Province to do so, but notes unions have been culpable in unduly pres- suring teachers into the withdrawal of activities to serve their own aims. Such observations may seem obvious, but they re- main at the heart of the impasse between the provincial gov- ernment and its teacher unions. With those conclusions, sure- ly it’s time for both sides to sit down, acknowledge their own errors of the recent past and find room to compromise and re- vive this important element of the high school experience. This is no longer about a government wielding an unnec- essarily big stick, or intransigent union leadership. It’s about thousands of high school children in Ontario who are being short-changed on the complete high school ex- perience so many of us took for granted in the past. It’s about students being treated like factory widgets in- stead of the bright young people they are — or can be. It’s about engaging their hearts and their minds to participate more fully in the present and the future. Both the Province and the teachers’ unions — despite years of rhetoric to the contrary — are guilty in the creation of this protracted stalemate. Now, both sides have some concrete recommendations to refer to and act upon. They are fully responsible for seeing this through. It may well be too late for this school year, but there is a window of opportunity for each camp to sit down over the summer and find creative, workable and mutually agreeable solutions. Bring back extracurriculars, starting, Sept. 4, 2001. It has been tagged a naked tax grab by our federal govern- ment or a measure aimed at getting fewer people — especial- ly children — to stop the deadly habit. Or simply never to start. The question is: will 50 cents more per package of ciga- rettes act as a deterrent to smoking? The tax increase, announced last week by the federal gov- ernment, was roundly acclaimed by anti-smoking advocates. Some argue the increase is not enough, but suggest any mea- sure that might prevent smoking is positive. Others argue those who choose to smoke should pay a high price since the cost to care for long-term smokers when they succumb to smoking-related diseases is high, $3 billion a year. High smoking taxes help offset that bloated cost. The real key to the higher tax is it will hopefully dissuade young people with less money to spend, to blow it on ciga- rettes. Recent statistics show 3,000 children start smoking in Ontario each month. Some 22 per cent of Grade 7 to OAC smokers began the habit in Grade 5 or 6. So, it’s clear the best policy is to get to them while they’re young and try to hit where it hurts: in the allowance pocket. Youth smoking in Canada — those between 15 and 19 — jumped from 21 per cent in 1991 to 28 per cent in 1999. The numbers are better in Durham where the latest stats show 18 per cent of those under 18 smoke. Still, something has to be done to stem the tide. Therefore, a large chunk of the revenue derived from that tax increase will flow towards advertising campaigns designed to drive home the message that smoking kills. Health Minister Allan Rock says $110 million in addi- tional government ads will be hitting the media by 2004 with the intention of reducing cigarette consumption by 30 per cent overall within 10 years. RCMP patrols will be beefed up to prevent smuggling, duty-free cigarettes will be eliminated, and there will be a sur- tax of 50 per cent from 40 per cent on producers of cigarettes. The elimination of lifestyle advertising, the ending of sponsorship of sports and cultural events and the grotesque warnings on packages have all been a part of a larger plan. Perhaps, by hammering home the message that smoking ‘costs’as much as smoking ‘kills’, success will follow. E-mail your comments on these opinions to steve.hous- ton@durhamnews.net.

In preparation for Earth Day and as part of the weeks running April 14 to 29, the Environmental Club at Fairport Beach Public School has been busy preparing several public address an- nouncements. Both Taylor Lynn Curley and Chantelle Brown went a step fur- ther. On their own, these Grade 3 stu- dents wrote an Earth Day message to share with their fellow club members. “Update from Taylor Lynn Curley: Hi, I’m here to talk to you about Earth Day. Earth Day started April 22, 1970. I guess they started Earth Day because they wanted to thank the Earth for all the great things it does. Earth Day is a little holiday but it’s still very well known.” She continued, “Earth Day is the most celebrated environmental holiday. More than six million Canadians join 500 million people in 164 countries, joining in many different events. Near- ly every school and child in Canada takes part in Earth Day. Earth Day is celebrated as the birth of the environ- mental movement. “There is an environmental club you can join... it is called ECOKids and can be found at www.ecokids.earthday.ca.” Chantelle shared her thoughts by saying, “Earth Day is the best because I think you learn about the earth. If you look on the computer Web site: www.earthday.ca, you will find lots of Earth Day information.” The celebration of Earth Day means a lot to future generations. We should choose a day during Earth Weeks to give the earth a rest from cars and all polluting machinery. Just stop everything we can for a day, or more, and let the ozone layer heal itself. The Environmental Club at Fairport Beach is encouraging fellow students to add to its club’s bulletin board about Earth Day with ideas of their own to help our planet. In Ajax, teacher Deanna Fry, known in her community as an environmental leader on all fronts, has arranged for Lakeside Public School to have a visit from Pee Wee at Castle Compost, a puppet show that explains the benefits of composting. Pee Wee and the stu- dents at Lakeside will also be making a vermicomposter that not only serves to divert food scraps, but also provides a rich fertilizer for the school’s plants. At the end of Earth Weeks, students should add more composting informa- tion to their existing Earth Day displays and extend them from April 29 to May 5 to celebrate International Composting Awareness Week 2001. Why not make every week Earth Week?

The board chairman and Whit- by Trustee says she and Brock- Uxbridge Trustee Nancy Loraine suggested the retreat, held at The Briars Resort at Jackson’s Point on Lake Simcoe. Attending the retreat were trustees Roy, Loraine, Doug Ross (Whitby), Paul Crawford (Picker- ing), Marilyn Crawford and Melinda Crawford (Ajax) and Martin Demmers (Scugog). “The main session was Satur- day morning,” says Ms. Roy. “Ba- sically it was an interpretation of people’s personalities and how to work together.” Board employee Chris Ward was facilitator for the session. Ms. Roy said the retreat was necessary to clarify the role of a trustee,since some board members have interpreted the job in differ- ent ways. Trustees have had some rocky moments at the board table since the new term began, especially in recent weeks, where they have be- come bogged down by procedural arguments and questionable de- bates. Trustee Paul Crawford, a pro- ponent of trustees getting together more often, said he was glad to go on the retreat, noting he has at- tended such team-building exercis- es before. The retreat was “beneficial” and “essential,” he said, as the per- sonnel on the board has changed with five new representatives who bring different perspectives to the table. “It’s a matter of new ideas and old ideas,” said Trustee Crawford. “It’s not necessarily that the new ideas are wrong...maybe some of the established ways could be looked at.” He said trustees should get to- gether in the next two weeks to fol- low up on what was discussed at the retreat. Trustee Roy said she favours a session between trustees and board superintendents so everyone can get on the same page. “You have to create that work- ing relationship together,” she said. “They’re there for the same reason we are.” Trustee Demmers said the idea of a retreat was decided upon by trustees weeks before they actually went. Despite some heated mo- ments at the board table, he does- n’t believe trustees are at odds with one another. “I don’t see that at all,” said Trustee Demmers. “We should be discussing issues, we should have heated debate, we shouldn’t just be rubber-stamping things from staff.” However he “would like to see some more openness in terms of if a trustee wants to bring something up.” As an example, Trustee Dem- mers cited a request he made of staff when Ron Trbovich, board business superintendent, presented the amended 2000/2001 budget at the Jan. 22 board meting. At the time, Trustee Demmers noted there was no previous year’s actu- al spending lines, just what was budgeted, and he requested that in- formation. Mr. Trbovich respond- ed the information should be avail- able in a month. Trustee Demmers said the latest he’s heard is the information would come forward this month. “That (information) could have come forward months ago,” he said. “I shouldn’t really have to say, ‘I’m hoping it’s there this month.’” Education director Grant Yeo says the retreat will likely cost roughly $2,000.

BY DAWN DE SOUZA Special to the News Advertiser AJAX ––La Toya Lesmond, who says music is all she ever does, wasn’t even sure she wanted to audition for the national television show ‘Popstars’. However, after a friend persuaded her to give it a try, the Ajax resident not only made it onto the show, but made it to one of the final cuts before landing a development deal with Universal Music Canada. Lesmond’s success story didn’t get off to the best start though. Her plans and preparation to sing a Whitney Houston song were dashed while waiting in line to audition when another hopeful told her the number wasn’t among a predetermined list of songs. Not knowing she was supposed to go online for the list, Lesmond had to learn ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’ while awaiting her turn. Her failure to make the final cut to five contestants, who were selected to form the new pop band Sugar Jones and are now recording an album, had more to do with Lesmond’s strengths than with anything she did wrong said Allan Reid, senior vice-president of artists and representation for Universal. In an interview, Reid said Lesmond was, in a way, overshadowing the other girls and is better suited to a solo career. As a re- sult, the development deal was signed and the 20-year-old now has a chance at a full recording contract. Lesmond, who has been singing publicly since she was nine years old, said she knew she was going to be cut after coming ever so close to the final 10. On decision day, she said all the girls knew five of them were going home and she was the last one to go in to see the judges. When five girls came out to announce they’d made it, Lesmond knew she was eliminated. “So I walked in there and (the judges) said, ‘so you know you’re cut’. Then they (said) ‘but we do want to propose something to you because we think... you have the potential to be something more than just being in a group’,” she said. Lesmond said the judges told her there we no guarantees behind the deal but that they wanted to do the work, be- cause, “We think you could be the next best thing out there.” After finding out about the deal, Lesmond called her mother as soon as NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, April 18, 2001 PAGE A9 A/P A rts &Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER april 18, 2001 Forget ‘Popstars’, how about pop diva? Ajax woman earns development deal after strong performance Let us entertain you! The News Advertiser possible. Lesmond’s family was supportive and proud when she made it onto the show as one of the the contestants and her moth- er even packed a letter of support for every day she was gone. Lesmond was away from home for a week while she at- tended the show’s ‘boot camp’. “Boot camp was like Sur- vivor,” she said. “The only thing is we actually got real food.” She said the experience basi- cally lived up to the billing given by the show’s staff. All the con- tests had to sing and learn new songs and chorography every day. “With all that, it’s if you can keep up with the game,” she said. “Can your emotions take the game, can you take the pressure, can you take it when someone says, ‘No, you’re not doing that right’?” Lesmond said the only real pressure she felt was knowing she was going to be on televi- sion. And since the first episode of ‘Popstars’ aired, people have been recognizing her and asking for her autograph, something she’s not used to. “I never want to get used to that, I just want to... let people know that I’m really down to earth and that they can approach me,” she said, adding she will take all the support she can get. As part of her development deal, Lesmond is in the studio recording her own material, along with some cover songs. Her recordings will be what Uni- versal uses to decide if she will put out a single and receive a full recording contract. Aside from her recording work, Lesmond has just finished performing in the musical ‘Doo- wop to Motown’ at the Theatre on the Grand in Fergus. She has also performed at weddings, fu- nerals, fund-raisers and the Pick- ering Town Centre. Ajax resident La Toya Lesmond didn’t make the final five, but so impressed the judges of the show ‘Pop- stars’ she was offered a de- velopment deal.

BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —It’s been the best of seasons for Pickering Squash Club’s Toronto and District Squash League teams. So good were the squads from the Pickering Recreation Complex this year that they captured four Toronto and Dis- trict League team titles, including mas- ters (50 years and older) and men’s ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘E’ championships, from eight entries. It’s the best showing ever for the club, noted six-year club pro Scott Cole- man. The longtime squash league at- tracts teams from across the Toronto area and as far north as Orangeville and as far west as Brampton. “We had eight teams in the T and D League this year, which in itself is good because only a few clubs in the city (Toronto) have more teams, then to get four winners out of it was very good,” said Coleman. Kevin Cahill, a member of Picker- ing’s title-winning ‘C’ team, gives a lot of credit for the club’s good fortunes to the solid coaching and organizational skills of Coleman. “The club has never been run so well; it’s really thriving,” explained Cahill. Pickering’s five-member men’s ‘B’ team was one of 24 in its division this season and topped the Wellington team 3-2 in the final. Team members are Coleman, Dane Sharp, Brian Ernst, Craig Schiele and Steve MacInnis. Meanwhile, the men’s ‘C’ team played in a 32-team division. In the final, Pickering defeated a squad from Glendon College of York University 4- 1. Playing for the Pickering squad were Scott Gormley, Cahill, Jim Shoemaker, John Whyte, Raj Vadera, Ian Parsons, John Dolman, Norm Shaw, Martin Nu- gent and John Ernst. The Pickering Masters team beat the Toronto Racquet Club 3-1 in its final. The Pickering squad competed against nine other teams through the course of the season. Team members are Sid Stevens, Mike Rochemont, Tom Quinn, BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING — Serendipity came into play to help a girls’ soccer team from Pickering play in an international tournament in France in May. A chance meeting be- tween Alfonso Garcia, head coach of the Pickering Soccer Club, and a coach from Ottawa at a coaches’ conference in Dallas in February opened the door for the Pickering Power under-16 girls’ team to compete at an under-16 girls’ international tourna- ment in Ploneour, France, a five-hour drive west of Paris. Power head coach Phil Frampton said the Ottawa coach wasn’t planning to take a girls’ team to the event this year, which prompted Garcia to get in touch with Frampton, who quickly presented the idea to his players and parents. “It was tough because we hadn’t heard about the event until near the end of February, which is a short time to put this kind of thing together,” explained Frampton. “I presented the idea to the parents and they all said ‘yes’, so now we’re in a fund-raising mode.” The 17-member Power girls’ rep team will be one of eight squads in the tour- nament. Most of the teams will be from France, al- though one entry is from Belgium. Pickering will play a minimum of eight games between May 24 and 26. While time may be short to prepare physically for the rigours of such a high- calibre tournament, Framp- ton said it won’t be prob- lematic for his charges who’ve been involved with indoor soccer play throughout the winter. “The core group of our players have been playing indoors at the Hangar (Wil- lowdale indoor soccer fa- cility). In addition, we’ve entered two early-season tournaments. Hopefully, with a couple of tourna- ments under out belts we should be ready. I’m sure sheer adrenaline and enthu- siasm will keep them going,” said Frampton, with a laugh, adding his team will play in tourna- ments in Oshawa May 5 and 6 and in Richmond Hill May 12 and 13. Frampton believes the trip is the opportunity of a lifetime for his players, who’ll be billeted with French families during their stay. The team will leave for France on May 21 and return on May 30. In addition to the tour- nament, the team will also embark on a number of sightseeing trips in France, including outings to Paris and Versailles. The club also plans to visit the stadium and train- ing facilities of FC Nantes, the leading team in the French Premier League and a club on par with Eng- land’s Manchester United in terms of popularity. Over the next several weeks, fund-raising for the trip will be in full swing. The team will host a Eu- chre Night and Silent Auc- tion at Papp’s Restaurant, at the Home & Leisure Centre, on Friday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. Team members are Ash- ley Bianci, Jacquline Con- stanzo, Megan Denchfield, Julia Frampton, Amanda Gifford, Kristel Jeffries, Morgan Kelly, Amy Kon- tarakis, Sarah Masterton, Nicole Monosky, Erin Pa- terson, Jaclyn Prohaska, Dawn Rynberk, Anna Sin- gleton, Hilary Singleton, Natasha Vadera and Aman- da Young. The team is also seeking help from businesses and individuals in its fund-rais- ing efforts. If you can help, call Frampton at 905-831- 2547.

TIM DOMINICK/KRT ADVERTISING FEATURE Because of a downtrodden economy,Masters tickets were being scalped on Washington Road for way, way less than in previous years. One Augusta broker said the going rate for a four- day season badge was $800, down from the $5,000 to $6,000 range last year. DIVIDING TIGER’S PIE The Tiger Woods-Bobby Jones comparisons remain inevitable. But Phil Mickelson thought it a little ridiculous when asked to compare them physically. “I think that’s kind of an insult to Tiger to compare Bobby Jones’physique with Tiger’s. He (Jones) used to love his pie a la mode,if I’m not mistaken,and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Tiger eat pie a la mode. He’s eating leaves off the trees and flower petals. There’s a dedication thing there.”The Man Out Front can’t help but observe that Mickelson,on the other hand,might be better served (no pun intended) if he laid off the pie a la mode a little more of- ten. e stood on the front porch at Augusta National Golf Club, tucked a pinch of snuff inside his lower lip, leaned up against the stately white clubhouse and stared emptily into the Georgia twilight. His coach and caddie and agent surrounded him, and nobody knew quite what to say. The 65th Masters was over, and once again, David Duval would be leaving Augusta with a haul that would practically require a van to trans- port: a silver medal and silver salver, two crystal vases for his tournament low rounds on Friday (66) and Sunday (67), and a check for $604,800. Once again, however, Duval would be depart- ing Augusta without the one item he covets most — the champion’s green jacket. It’s a storyline with which he is all too familiar, and one he desperately wants to change. Amid the Masters’rich lore, Duval does not wish to be re- membered forever as one of the tourna- ment’s tragic figures. He now has given himself a shot at glory on the back nine in each of the last four years at Augusta Na- tional,but once again, he was left to walk away feeling as if he’d just been slugged in the gut. “I know what it feels like,”Duval said. “I’m devastated. It stinks. “It’s kind of like ’98 (when he shot 67 on Sun- day and lost to Mark O’Meara). It’s hard to be up- set when it’s Masters Sunday and you go out and shoot 67 and put the heat on. For me, again, it was just not enough.” Duval began the last round three shots behind Woods, one of several challengers still in the chase, but soon he stepped forward (along with Phil Mickelson) as a force with whom Woods LAST WEEK'S QUESTION How many major championships will Tiger Woods win in 2001?

Level par standing on the fifth tee, Duval poured in birdie putts on four con- secutive holes to shoot 32 on the front, then added a birdie at 10. What unfolded over the next couple of hours was one of the most compelling afternoons of golf ever staged at this national cathedral. The difference came at the par-3 16th, a hole Duval had three-putted for bogey in ’98. Facing 183 yards to the flagstick, over water, he pulled a 7- iron from his bag and struck a shot so flush he bare- ly felt the ball leave the clubhead. He posed as the shot flew toward the pin. And flew, and flew — un- til it caromed off the back of the green, leading to a nearly impossible chip and a bogey 4 that dropped him from a share of the lead. At Augusta National, good shots don’t always turn out the way they should. Duval envisioned his shot at 16 riding the green’s steep rightside bank and funneling into the 6-foot circle around the hole, cut way left. Maybe even better. “You know, to be honest,” he’d say, “I thought I might have made a 1.” Duval,who made eight birdies in the round,had two final chances to pull even with Woods,but missed birdie putts of 12 and 5 feet,respectively,at the final two holes,pulling both. Woods applied the final dagger with a 15-foot birdie putt at 18 that pushed the margin of victory to two shots. In the last four years, Duval — whose 14-under 274 total in this year’s Masters has been bettered only four times in the tournament’s history — has finished tied for second, tied for sixth, tied for third and solo second at Augusta. “The tough thing is that I’ve played well enough at this point to be four-time defending champion, I think,” said Duval, 29, who has 12 PGA Tour victo- ries. “Maybe you could argue ’99 I really wasn’t. But certainly three of the last four years I’ve been right there the whole time.” You wonder if he hates the place. “No, I love it,” Duval answered quickly. “And I can’t wait to get back here. The only thing I don’t like about this golf tournament is that it only hap- pens once a year.” Tiger Woods TIM DOMINICK/KRT David Duval watches as his birdie putt misses on the 17th hole in the third round of the Masters April 7. 40% 25% 10% two one three 25% four JEFF BABINEAU Golfweek LPGA (Through The Office Depot) 1.Annika Sorenstam . . . . . . $756,448 2.Karrie Webb . . . . . . . . . . . $325,520 3.Se Ri Pak . . . . . . . . . . . . . $323,062 4.Dottie Pepper . . . . . . . . . . $289,885 5.Lorie Kane . . . . . . . . . . . . $254,205 6.Sophie Gustafson . . . . . . $226,347 7.Grace Park . . . . . . . . . . . . $192,080 8.Janice Moodie . . . . . . . . . $188,043 9.Pat Hurst . . . . . . . . . . . . . $187,856 10.Michele Redman . . . . . . $167,177 11.Mi Hyun Kim . . . . . . . . . . $158,817 12.Laura Diaz . . . . . . . . . . . $151,772 13.Brandie Burton . . . . . . . . $144,706 14.Akiko Fukushima . . . . . . $144,223 15.Catriona Matthew . . . . . . $137,891 16.Rachel Teske . . . . . . . . . $135,595 17.Nancy Scranton . . . . . . . $135,408 18.Michelle McGann . . . . . . $128,736 19.Carin Koch . . . . . . . . . . . $122,462 20.Penny Hammel . . . . . . . . $114,897 21.Juli Inkster . . . . . . . . . . . . $113,019 22.Vicki Goetze-Ackerman . $109,754 23.Dorothy Delasin . . . . . . . $105,786 24.Wendy Ward . . . . . . . . . . $104,928 25.Danielle Ammaccapane . $100,272 PGA top-3 finishes (Through The WorldCom Classic) 1 2 3 Total Phil Mickelson .......1 1 3 5 Vijay Singh ..........0 2 3 5 Tiger Woods ........3 0 0 3 Joe Durant ..........2 0 0 2 Davis Love III ........1 1 0 2 M.Calcavecchia .....1 0 1 2 Mike Weir ...........0 2 0 2 Dennis Paulson ..... 0 1 1 2 Jeff Sluman .........0 1 1 2 Bob Tway ........... 0 1 1 2 Ernie Els ............0 0 2 2 Bernhard Langer .... 0 0 2 2 Greg Ogilvy .........0 0 2 2 Robert Allenby ...... 1 0 0 1 B.Chamblee ........ 1 0 0 1 Jose Coceres .......1 0 0 1 Brad Faxon ......... 1 0 0 1 Jim Furyk .......... 1 0 0 1 Scott McCarron ..... 1 0 0 1 Jesper Parnevik ..... 1 0 0 1 Garrett Willis ........1 0 0 1 Steve Stricker ....... 1 0 0 1 David Duval .........0 1 0 1 Pierre Fulke .........0 1 0 1 Toshi Izawa .........0 1 0 1 Tom Lehman ........0 1 0 1 Frank Lickliter ....... 0 1 0 1 Billy Mayfair .........0 1 0 1 Rocco Mediate ......0 1 0 1 Craig Perks ......... 0 1 0 1 Rory Sabbatini ......0 1 0 1 Paul Stankowski .....0 1 0 1 K.Sutherland ....... 0 1 0 1 Olin Browne .........0 0 1 1 Steve Lowery ....... 0 0 1 1 Carl Paulson ........ 0 0 1 1 Chris Smith .........0 0 1 1 Hal Sutton .......... 0 0 1 1 Toru Taniguchi .......0 0 1 1 Scott Verplank .......0 0 1 1 Grant Waite ......... 0 0 1 1 — Golfweek MONEY MAKERS David Duval missed this 5-foot putt on the 18th green that would have,at the time,tied him with Tiger Woods for the lead. LITTLE SLICE OF HEAVEN The Forecaddie has a new dream retirement home. He’s giving up on the little condo on the beach near Cypress Point and has abandoned the idea of a palatial Florida home at Seminole. Instead, the Forecaddie wants to put a down payment on a treehouse somewhere up in the big oak behind Augusta National Golf Club. I mean, really, is there any place in the land so close to heaven? A week at the Masters produced the usual sites and sounds and delights, not to mention a back-nine showdown the likes of which we have anticipated for years — Tiger, Double D and Lefty. A few memories and musings from a week at Augusta: Was it me,or did Byron Nelson have the BiMatrx shaft in that driver he was using? ... Chris DiMarco, who mo- mentarily placed his shoes on a bench in the clubhouse, was told, “We don’t do that around here.” Rookie. ... Who around the office water cooler five years ago could have predicted Jack Nicklaus,Arnold Palmer and Gary Play- er teeing it up at Augusta with a Titleist Pro V1 and a cou- ple of Callaway balls? ... Most fitting “endorsement”deal: Amateur James Driscoll of Brookline, Mass., who played a practice round with a visor that read “Ouimet.” ... Augusta resident Charles Howell III was seen in the crowd at the Masters. Wonder what short irons he’ll hit into 13 and 15 one day. ... Tournament’s best shot: Most would say Tiger Woods’second shot at No. 11 on Sunday, which he nearly holed, but the Forecaddie has to go with Ernie Els,who got up and down for par at the 10th on Fri- day from his knees, left-handed, using a sand wedge turned upside-down. “I wish somebody had that one on tape,” Els said.

The Glenanna Road school community has designated April 27 ‘Loonie For Autism Day’, when every student in the school will be asked to do- nate a dollar for autism. And they’ve challenged every school in Pickering to get on board and join the fund-raising effort by holding their own ‘Loonie For Autism Day’April 27. All proceeds will go the Geneva Centre for Autism in Toronto, a leading clinical, training and support centre for children with autism and their families. The William Dunbar com- munity, inspired by Durham police Sergeant John Keating, who is cycling across the Unit- ed States to raise awareness for autism research, is also hold- ing an autism walk-a-thon Sat- urday, May 5. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the school community will walk to raise money and awareness for autism. Ajax Mayor Steve Parish, Pickering councillors Maurice Brenner, Mark Holland and Bill McLean, Pickering-Ajax- Uxbridge MP Dan McTeague, and local police and fire de- partments are scheduled to take part. The entire community is also invited. The route will take partici- pants from the school to Fair- port Road, north to Finch Av- enue, east to Dixie Road and then back to the school. Snacks and refreshments will be available and dona- tions, with cheques made payable to the Geneva Centre For Autism, are welcome. All donors who give $20 or more will be entered in a prize draw and are eligible for a tax re- ceipt (include name and ad- dress on the back of the cheque.)

Pickering gardening group looking for tools of their trade Local organization wants your earthly donations PICKERING —Winter is over and it’s time to starting gar- dening. Bloomers and Britches, a group of gardeners who work at the Pickering Museum Village, is getting ready to start their gar- dening season. Founded in 1999, the volun- teer group plans, creates and maintains the museum’s gar- dens, always being careful to be historically accurate to the muse- um’s time period. But to do that the group needs the proper tools and is asking anyone with gardening tools they no longer need or use to do- nate them to the group. Many of the group’s garden- ers use their own tools, but hav- ing some on-site would be an asset. Tools such as shovels, edgers and trowels would be ap- preciated. People donating tools can drop them off at the museum located just off Hwy. 7 between Brock and Westney roads in the Hamlet of Greenwood. For anyone not quite willing to give up their favourite garden tool, the group also invites peo- ple to come and help create and maintain the gardens. Gardening starts on April 24 and continues every Tuesday morning until October. For more information on how to donate tools or volunteer your gardening expertise, call the Pickering Museum Village at 905-683-8401.
