Durham Regional Police said the 29-year-old teacher was walk- ing to her car at 4:30 p.m. Friday when she was grabbed from be- hind by a youth and sexually as- saulted. She fought off the teen but was attacked again, police said. “It’s alleged she was sexually fondled.Twice she pushed him away but he kept coming at her,” police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik said. He said the teacher eventually escaped the attacker and fled to her vehicle. She did not suffer any injuries and reported the incident to police. Sgt. Malik said a Grade 8 stu- dent at the school was arrested Sunday. The boy, who is a previous stu- dent of the victim’s, was charged with sexual assault and released to appear in Oshawa youth court on June 15, he said. A spokesman for the Durham District School Board would not comment on whether the student has been suspended.

Pickering Councillor and works committee chairman Rick Johnson told his col- leagues at the May 9 works meeting the Region needs to increase its funding for roads projects to address the backlog of work that needs to be done across Durham. He maintained one of those priorities should be the plan for a grade separation at the CPR crossing where Richard Schewe, 31, and his two-year- old daughter Mikaela, were killed in a collision with a train on May 7. “That underpass should have been in five years ago,” Coun. Johnson said. Durham Regional Police have reported they believe Mr. Schewe was distracted while he was driving because he was talking on a cellphone and did- n’t notice the warning lights and barriers were activated at the crossing. In an interview following Wednesday’s meeting, Coun. Johnson said the Region iden- tified a series of improvements to Brock Road, which is a Re- gional road, about seven years ago, one of which was the grade separation at the train tracks just south of Taunton Road. He reported the preparatory work and an environmental as- sessment on the project have since been completed, noting “all we’re waiting for is the funding”. But, it could be at least five years before that funding, roughly $7 million, comes through because the Brock Road project was dropped from the Region’s five-year forecast earlier this year, he noted. “Brock Road has been pushed back and pushed back,” Coun. Johnson said. “I’m frus- trated... Brock Road is a death trap and it has been for years.” Coun. Johnson, whose 18- year-old son Russell was killed in a single-car crash on Brock Road in March 1999, main- tained the road needs to be widened and the underpass built at the rail crossing as soon as possible because the traffic The pitfalls of long jump WALTER PASSARELLA/ News Advertiser photo DURHAM –Michelle Corniffe of Ajax High School slides to a unique finish during long jump action at the Durham Track and Field Championships Monday at Oshawa’s Civic Stadi- um. Michelle was competing in the junior girls’division. Fed funds sought to study watershed PICKERING — The City of Pickering is asking the feder- al government to help cover the costs of two ongoing watershed studies in Ajax and Pickering. Councillors voted May 7 to seek the support of the City’s partners in the projects in re- questing that Transport Canada contribute $150,000 to help fund the completion of the stud- ies of Carruthers and Duffins creeks. Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles, who introduced the motion, noted the federal government is a large landhold- er in the area and therefore should be expected to share the costs of the studies. “A lot of the benefits of the planning and strategy and some of the work this group will do will benefit the federal lands,” Coun. Pickles said in an inter- view Coun. Pickles reported the municipalities of Pickering, Ajax, Uxbridge, Markham and Whitchurch-Stouffville together with Durham and York regions as well as the Toronto and Re- gion Conservation Authority (TRCA), have contributed a total of $140,000 to the studies. Pickering lad is public elementary student of the year BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer PICKERING —Andrew Goldsmith says the support of many people in his life, past and present, led to him being chosen Durham’s pub- lic elementary student of the year. That’s what the student at Frenchman’s Bay Public School in Pickering told an audience at the recent Durham Elementary Teach- ers’ Federation of Ontario breakfast in Ajax. “I just thanked everybody who had helped me through the years, my principals, my teachers, my hockey coaches, my parents, pretty much any- body who I know,” said the Grade 8 pupil. Andrew did not know he had been nominated and was “overwhelmed” to have been chosen. Prime minister of his school’s student council and a member of the ‘Kids for Change’ team and the year- book committee, Andrew has taken part in various volun- teer activities in the commu- nity and is a dedicated ath- lete, listing hockey and the high jump as his favourite sports. With so much on his plate, it’s not surprising he said he doesn’t have too much free time. Andrew said his involve- ment in school activities gives him the opportunity to meet many students, and school is more enjoyable when you know everyone. Asked about his future plans, he said he has an inter- est in politics, sparked a few years ago when his father, Herb Goldsmith, as president of the Association of Day- Care Operators of Ontario, took part in a government an- nouncement covered by tele- vision media. Andrew worked for the Canadian Alliance Party in the last federal election and for the Progressive Conserva- tive Party in the last provin- cial campaign, dropping off fliers, telephone canvassing and entering data on a com- puter. Andrew said he has no political affiliation, but got involved “just to find out what each party was about; I’ll probably pick a new party next time. “I think it’s pretty cool just being involved in all the Quality of life declining in Durham, study says BY SUSAN O’NEILL Staff Writer DURHAM —The quality of life in Durham Region has “fallen significantly” since 1990, according to a recent study completed by the Social Development Council (SDC) of Ajax-Pickering. The study, presented to the Region’s health and social ser- vices committee last Thursday, examined 12 statistical indica- tors that fall under the health, social, environmental and eco- nomic categories. “The most obvious issue is the social housing shortfall and that’s going to need a huge com- munity effort and a commitment from all levels of government,” said SDC executive director Duncan Read who reported this is the first time a quality of life study has been conducted in Durham. In an interview Monday, Mr. Read explained the report, which came about as a result of the Quality of Life Index Project sponsored by the Ontario Social Development Council and the Social Planning Network of On- tario, is intended to review trends that effect positive or negative change in the quality of life of Durham residents. He explained 1990 was the PICKERING –Frenchman’s Bay Public School student Andrew Goldsmith thanked ‘pretty much anybody who I know’in accepting top student honours. Goldsmith shows precious mettle See BROCK page 4 See PICKERING page 4 JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo See QUALITY page 2 base year for the study, noting that year, which is used as a benchmark from which to measure progress and setbacks, was assigned a value of 100. And, based on a series of calcu- lations, the study found that the Quality of Life Index for Durham in 2000 was 79.3, which means over the last 10 years, the quality of life for residents in Durham Re- gion has dropped by more than 20 per cent. “Generally speaking, things are generally pretty good,” Mr. Read said, before adding, “We have a huge problem in social housing that we have to tackle.” According to the study, Durham has experienced setbacks in several areas: there are now more new cancer cases; more ba- bies born with low birth weights; more of the labour force is unem- ployed; the number of people working as a percentage of popula- tion has dropped; more bankrupt- cies; more hours of moderate to poor air quality; longer waiting lists for long-term care and longer waiting lists for public housing. The study also indicates progress has been made in that there are fewer admissions to the Children’s Aid Society; fewer so- cial assistance beneficiaries; an in- crease in tonnes of waste being di- verted through blue box recycling and fewer toxic spills reported. “There is much to be concerned with. In spite of just coming through an economic recovery, the QLI indicates that the quality of life in Durham is well below what it was in 1990 — troubling to be sure, but doubly so given that it seems likely a recession is loom- ing in the near future,” the study states. “Government policies that favour tax cuts and freezes over health-, social- and income-sup- port programs will continue to im- pact negatively on those who are most vulnerable, the poor, the sick and the aged. Durham can do bet- ter,” the study concludes. Mr. Read reported he hopes the study will serve as the basis for discussion that will lead to action to improve the areas highlighted as concerns here.

BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Fred Jones’s desire to formalize accountabili- ty within the Durham Catholic District School Board was de- scribed as a “witch hunt” by a colleague at Monday night’s board meeting. The Brock-Scugog-Uxbridge trustee and board chairman out- lined a plan to establish an audit and accountability framework within the board. Trustee Jones said he wants to set up a system whereby the efficacy of pro- grams, policies and whatever trustees want to focus upon can be gauged using specific crite- ria. Trustee Jones’s plan would see independent audits of staff evaluations of the effectiveness of, for example, a board policy, to ensure staff’s information was accurate. But not all his colleagues are on board, including Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin, who views the chairman’s initiative as a slight on staff. “I’m very insulted by this presentation made by you to this board, in front of our guests tonight and the media,” she told her colleague. “I’m just floored, Fred. I am so insulted and I am so disappointed. To me it sounds like a witch hunt. You’re looking for things that don’t exist.” Trustee Jones said his col- league was missing the point: not just the Durham Catholic board but also all school boards should establish such a system. “I certainly do not lack faith in any of our superintendents,” he said. “I have not suggested that; the report doesn’t imply that.” Trustee Martin wasn’t con- vinced, maintaining he was needlessly calling into question board staff. “This is not intended to make administration accountable; this is intended to make the board of trustees accountable,” said Trustee Jones. When Trustee Jones began his presentation by suggesting some in the past have called into question the board’s account- ability, veteran Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey left the room. “I object to that,” he said an- grily. Pickering Trustee Fran Pereira said much of what Trustee Jones is proposing does- n’t make sense. He emphasized it will be a board decision if his proposal is accepted. Trustee Jones replied the terms of reference are being drafted and should be brought forward at the next board meet- ing. Trustee McCafferty said the process is not intended to call into question staff members. “If something goes wrong with the board, we are held ac- countable for that,” he said. “There has to be some account- ability there. The bottom line is it’s not against staff, this whole process.” “It’s not a witch hunt,” echoed Trustee Karwowski. “It’s not to get anybody. It’s to bring in a new practice. Maybe we’re not communicating it that well.” Whitby Trustee Scott Mur- dock questioned who would perform the independent audits and what they would cost. Trustee Jones said there are sev- eral options, such as hiring an auditor or a management con- sultant. Perhaps, he said, the ministry of education could assist the board. “I see many costs involved in this,” said Trustee Murdock.

Herb Goldsmith attended the ETFO breakfast and is “very proud” of his son, whom he de- scribed as an outgoing, caring person who has always been a leader. “He’s always done extremely well in school, but he’s also done well outside of the school in terms of the things he volun- teers with,” said Mr. Goldsmith. That includes delivering Christmas baskets to the less fortunate, a project his family initiated at St. Paul’s On The Hill Anglican Church. A big focus in Andrew’s life is ensuring no one is left out, said Mr. Goldsmith. “He just always has a way of making people feel important,” he said. “He’s very big on mak- ing sure everyone is involved. He goes to great lengths to be a special friend.” PICKERING from page 1 Pickering student takes top honours for 2001 JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Great Scots! DURHAM – Durham Region residents turned out recently for a 50-plus ‘Movin’ and Groovin’ active living seminar featuring Scottish dancing. The 11th annual event saw dance troupe members (from left) Gladys Graham and Fred Harding take the floor with Jean Keary of Ajax and Janet Johnstone of Bowmanville. The event was held at the Clar- ington Beech Centre in Bowmanville. Pickering’s Notion is to wait for Ajax’s move on road PICKERING — The City of Pick- ering is waiting to see how Ajax han- dles a plan to rezone land along Notion Road before making a decision about the land on its side of the street. Pickering’s executive committee voted Monday to defer a decision on the Notion Road Land Use and Urban De- sign Study until the Town of Ajax has dealt with the joint report. Ajax council’s community affairs and planning committee voted to defer a decision on the study last week. That committee doesn’t meet again until later this month. “Ajax is the primary area that’s im- pacted,” said Ward 1 Regional Council- lor Maurice Brenner who moved a mo- tion Monday recommending a deferral on the grounds that Pickering should “wait to see what Ajax does”. Pickering and Ajax joined forces in 1998 to conduct the study of Notion Road, which forms part of the boundary between the two communities. The decision to do a study came after J&F Waste Systems proposed the construction of a waste transfer station at 57 Notion Rd. The company eventu- ally scrapped the idea. Coun. Brenner noted a joint meeting of the Pickering and Ajax councils could be called to deal with the study. Job help for women DURHAM —Are you a woman looking for work?

So desperate he is stooping to something he said he would never do — shaping his policies accord- ing to polls. The Progressive Conservative premier, who is far behind the Liberals in the polls, has been found by accident taking some of his own ideas to see whether the public would approve of policies he is contemplating, including selling some Crown corporations. A pollster for the Tories, who mistakenly called the home of a reporter, asked specifically whether the Province should pri- vatize agencies such as the Liquor Control Board of Ontario and TVOntario. This is odd for a start because Mr. Harris’s Tories, in their Com- mon Sense Revolution manifesto supposedly carved in stone, which helped win the 1995 elec- tion, promised clearly and un- equivocally if elected ‘we will sell off some assets, such as the LCBO.’ They also said more cautious- ly they ‘will actively explore the sale of other assets including TVOntario’ because the private sector had shown it could provide better and more efficient service. The pollster also asked whether the person interviewed favoured more cuts in personal and business taxes, which the government was considering for its budget, and what were the most important concerns it should address. About the same time on a dif- ferent issue Mr. Harris suddenly made significant concessions that won him a truce in his war with teachers, whom he was trying to force to spend more time in class- room as well as supervise ex- tracurricular activities such as sports and clubs. The premier allowed more of teachers’ duties to be included as classroom time and abandoned a law he pushed through that would have compelled teachers to super- vise, although he had maintained for months his policy was the only effective one and he would stick to it. Even some Tories believe he backed off because a major news- paper poll suggested the public felt education had become almost as big a concern as health, which has ranked highest for years. This reliance on polls is not at all what the premier promised when he became leader in 1990. He then said polls had become a hindrance to decision-making. Mr. Harris said in one leader- ship debate politicians should base their policies on what they feel is right, on their principles. Politicians who base their policies on polls, trying to please people, he said, sometimes fail to take the tough decisions that are necessary. The premier said those who based their policies on polls in- cluded the Liberals under then premier David Peterson and earli- er Tories, clearly meaning long- serving former premier William Davis who was noted for striving for consensus to satisfy every- body, although Mr. Harris did not identify him by name. “The parties all got the same polls and we all had backroom advisers who told us what the polls meant,” Mr. Harris said then. “These polls said what sort of policy we should follow.” Mr. Harris said one result was “for a period of time there was no difference between the Conserva- tive and Liberal parties. It was a disaster for the province and it was a disaster for our party.” Tom Long, who was outspo- ken president of the Ontario To- ries at that time and remains a power as Mr. Harris’s chairman and chief strategist in his two winning elections, scoffed pithily that under Mr. Davis “all the im- portant final decisions were made by four guys sifting through polling data in a Toronto hotel room.” But Mr. Harris also is now warily polling before setting poli- cies, which is something like a doctor refusing to prescribe the most effective medicine unless the patient says he likes the taste. One reason is several times re- cently he has announced policies, such as allowing MPPs a 42-per cent pay raise or allowing too many people, including police, access to personal health records, and then been forced by public outcries to retreat on them. Mr. Harris is less sure of him- self and probably doing more of these polls, but we will never know unless he accidentally calls another reporter. Premier is leaning on polls Harris ignores past pledge, canvasses for answers You said it The question was: What’s your reaction to the announcement of a new university for Durham? Life’s been awfully good for most Durham residents late- ly. Just last week the Province announced a new university would be coming soon to the region, Premier Mike Harris reaffirmed his government’s $300 million 10-year promise to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor pro- posal for Clarington, and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty pledged to see Hwy. 407 extended to Hwy 35/115. Talk about a triple hit for us! While all these announcements must be celebrated and ap- preciated, there’s a dark side to Durham’s bright future. A report from the Social Development Council of Ajax- Pickering released late last week to the Region’s health and social services committee paints a grim picture for Durham’s least fortunate citizens. Using a ‘quality of life’ index which sets its baseline at 100 in 1990, it evaluates 12 statistical indi- cators and shows a QOL index of 79.3 by 2000. That means the quality of life in Durham - according to the report - has dropped a whopping 20 per cent in just 10 years. First, the good news: Since 1990 we’ve had a 53.5 per cent drop in social assistance recipients, an 11.9 per cent reduction in CAS admissions, a 42.5 per cent decrease in toxic spills and a 33.2 per cent increase in blue box diversions. In three other categories, the numbers are nearly even: bankruptcies are up by just 2.9 per cent, the number of unem- ployed seeking work is only 2.2 per cent higher and the total per cent of those working as a rate of population is only down 4.7 per cent. But here’s the really bad news: the number of low birth- weight babies has increased by 9.6 per cent, the percentage of new cancer cases is up 8.4 per cent, the number of people on long-term care waiting lists has jumped 29.9 per cent, hours of poor/moderate air quality are up a nauseating 58.8 per cent and, to top it all off, demand on public housing is up an as- tounding 269.3 per cent. We can blame the public housing mess on senior levels of government which gave up on and got out of public housing in the early 1990s. Municipalities are feeling the crunch as those who need it most show up, literally, on their doorsteps. The Province and feds must own up to their mistake and lend a local hand. Long-term care waiting lists are high now, but the Region is expanding and building new facilities to address this con- cern. As for air quality - that’s a problem that goes well be- yond Durham’s borders and must be policed by the Province and the feds. It’s all sobering food for thought and clearly reveals Durham’s successes are offset, to some degree, by an inabili- ty to handle the needs of the poor. When is a raise not a raise? If you listen to local politi- cians, it’s when they push it through under the guise of effi- ciency. That’s exactly what happened May 7 at council when Pickering Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland’s pro- posal to split the City’s executive committee into three sep- arate units — planning, operations and finance - narrowly passed by a 4-3 vote. And with the unnecessary extra work the councillors have created for themselves, they agreed a raise of up to 25 per cent was only fair (did we mention three of the councillors in favour also received an eight-per cent raise on their Regional pay not too many weeks ago) and will be paid based on attendance at these new committees. But pay raises aside, we’re more concerned with the af- front to democracy that comes along with the change to the committee structure. A byproduct of the new structure is to move any meetings without an obvious public interest to weekday afternoons, rather than evenings when residents are more likely able to attend and watch their elected officials in action. Who will judge which agendas are worthy of widespread public access and which ones should be buried in the after- noon when many taxpaying citizens are at work? And how many taxpayers are willing, or more importantly, able to give up work time to monitor an issue that affects them? What arrangements must they be forced to make in order to speak to councillors in a deputation? It’s difficult for every municipality to attract qualified and knowledgeable candidates every three years to seek council positions, but eliminating from the prospect list everyone with a day job reduces the probability of electing effective representatives. In the time between now and the new format taking effect in September, we urge councillors to work with members of a stakeholders group, which is being formed to provide pub- lic input during a three-month transition period, to reach a compromise that truly will serve taxpayers and voters best. Andrew Mitchell said, “It is good. It should improve the nightlife.” Brenda Hayes said,“It’s great. It will bring more jobs and people to the region and improve the stu- dents’ stan- dards.” Dwight Budgell said, “It is a good thing. It will make it easier for the kids.” Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 16, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Regional councillors fail to understand urgency of hospital situation To the editor: Re: ‘The health-care answer is out there,’ Steve Houston column, April 29. As usual, Mr. Houston is spot on with his comments. One evening recently I happened to be channel surfing and came across a broadcast of Durham council. When you watch these people in action it is no surprise they come up with strange decisions. Although they were discussing the police budget, it seemed Chairman Roger Anderson was more concerned with what the members were going to have for dinner and whether or not he should order takeout. It’s very sad and frightening that this bunch of part-time politi- cal aspirants should be able to in- fluence whether or not a sick per- son has to wait four hours in an emergency room to see a doctor (that’s assuming we have doctors left at the Ajax and Pickering Health Centre). I cannot help but get the feeling Durham council as a whole really has no grasp of the dire straits our local hospitals find themselves in. As usual they continue to spout diatribe as to how it is all Mike Harris’s fault and has nothing to do with them. Well even if they believe this then at least show some sort of in- terest — I am sure any reasonable amount of financial assistance would help. Their decision, in my mind, carried an air of revenge for ad- verse publicity they received from the hospitals’ publicity depart- ment. I also think I heard one of the councillors mention yet another ‘retreat’(actually a good word for the way this council thinks and acts) up north. Presumably this is so they can spend the eight-per cent raise they just awarded them- selves. I wonder if whilst they are sit- ting there eating and drinking at the taxpayers’ expense their thoughts will stray to the doctors and nurses at our hospital battling to keep up with patient loads. I hope at the next election (pity it’s not next week) people realize just how important it is to get out and vote. John Haste, Ajax Gambling laws must be fair To the editor: Is there one law for the rich and another for the poor with regards to gambling in Ontario? Our government has made it legal for thousands of slot ma- chines to be placed exclusively in large remote establishments. Yet it is still illegal for small, often fami- ly-run businesses to participate. A few large establishments profit, leaving the smaller firms without. Often patrons’options are limit- ed when it comes to returning home after a day at the casino. Considerations such as taking a taxi or public transit are not avail- able from these remote communi- ties. Commuting to remote areas has led to unnecessary carnage on our highways. In the end, who does the law hurt? Individuals wishing to play are forced to remote areas, local businesses suffer as discre- tionary dollars are taken out of the community. Local establishments are not able to offer this popular form of entertainment and lose the benefits of incidental revenue such as a meal purchase while playing. This convenience and sharing of wealth is a reality in other Canadi- an provinces.

NEWS ADVERTISER WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 16, 2001 PAGE 7 P Cruise ship dance job the ‘opportunity of a lifetime’ BY DAWN DE SOUZA Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING —How would you like to get paid to take a seven-month cruise? Well, a Pickering woman and her fiancé have been given the oppor- tunity to do just that. Tonya Murray, 22, and her fiancé Rob Leduc, 24, have been hired to dance on a Renaissance cruise ship. The couple described the trip as “the opportunity of a lifetime” and said this is something they wanted to do together. Their trip will begin in Dover, England and then travel to the Baltic Sea, through the Mediterranean to Is- tanbul and then across the Atlantic Ocean to the Bahamas, hitting 41 dif- ferent ports along the way. But, before they get on the ship, Murray and Leduc will be travelling to Charlotte, North Carolina May 18 to meet the rest of the cast and learn the five dance shows they will be per- forming. This is where the details get a lit- tle fuzzy, according to the couple. They know they will have a small cast and a variety of dances to per- form, but they won’t receive any specifics until they arrive in the U.S. “It’s something you just can’t pass up,” said Murray, who has been danc- ing for 19 years, and is currently teaching and taking lessons at the Denise Lester Dance Academy in Pickering. “I think it’s good that we can do this now and enjoy it,” said Murray. Both said they know dancing is not something they will be able to do forever but it is something they would like to keep up with. “(The chance is) absolutely won- derful... (and) one of the things that I really thought was a good plan was I went to school first,” she said. Leduc agreed. “When you finish university and get the degree... (you will) still have a job when you’re 40,” he said. Both are recent university gradu- ates and stress you do not have to give up school to have these types of opportunities. Murray and Leduc met six years ago when they had summer jobs dancing at Paramount Canada’s Won- derland — jobs they kept every sum- mer since, until now. Leduc, who lives in Windsor, would move to the Toronto area every summer and the couple tried to see each other every two weeks through- out the year. Six years, and many expensive phone bills later, the couple is en- gaged and will actually be planning their August 2002 wedding while away. The cruise will start in June and they will be coming home in Decem- ber, but hopefully not for long. The couple hopes the cruise job will lead to more.

Columbus was one of three Pickering gymnasts representing Oshawa’s Gemini Gymnastics at the provincials and grabbed the all-around crown in the senior 2 category — the second consecutive year she has won an all-around title at provincials. She earned a gold on the balance beam with a meet-high score of 8.7 out of a possible 9.0. She also won bronze on vault and floor exercise, and was sixth on uneven bars. Columbus noted she had no expectations heading into the competition, only to do her best and let the chips fall where they may. “I really didn’t go in to win the provincial. I just wanted to do my best,” she said. The 14-year-old said the key was concentrating on what she had done in practice and staying calm during the actual competition. “You have to stay calm,” she said. “You can’t get too excited. You have to compete like you do in training. That’s the only way.” She plans to continue to train at Gemini Gym- nastics during the summer, and may move up into a higher competitive bracket next year. Fellow Pickering gymnast Kaitlin Grandy posted a 16th place finish in the senior 2 category. She placed seventh on vault and uneven bars. In the senior 1 category, Katelyn Strezov, also of Pickering, competing in her first provincial champi- onships, earned a silver medal on the floor exercise, sixth on vault and ninth on uneven bars. In addition to their individual accomplishments, each athlete received a gold medal as part of the winning Metro East teams in the senior 1 and senior 2 divisions.

The store opened on Friday, May 4 at Durham Centre, 40 Kingston Road East, Finds a supercentre concept, will provide today’s busy consumer with a shopping destination that is big on value, quality, selection and character while meeting more than just one of their shopping needs. Primarily a women’s fashion destination, Finds will offer a range of products from women’s ready-to-wear fashions to accessories, lingerie, men’s fashions, home décor items and gifts. Designer and national brand labels will make up the merchandise assortment that will truly offer the customer terrific finds at savings of 25% to 60% off comparable values. And with stores averaging 15,000 square feet in size, the selection will be both extensive and impressive.

Designed by the international, Toronto-based design firm, burdiflek, Finds offers a fun, aesthetically pleasing and an uncomplicated shopping environment above all.

The celebration was run from May 10 to May 13, with a portion of sales on May 10 and 11 being donated to the Canadian Cancer Society for breast cancer research and support programs.

The Golf Guy Musings and consideration of a golf addict. My first job in life, paying job that is, was caddying at Scarborough Golf and Country Club as a young boy. It was a won- derful way to earn some extra money along with learning the rules and etiquette of this great game called golf. It began for me a life long pas- sion, my wife says obsession; with the most amazing game of golf. During the next few weeks in this section called Golf Fore You, I would like to share or reveal some of my feelings, experiences, opin- ions that have formed over my forty year love affair with the game. Some of these thoughts are difficult to express. How do you explain the feel of the rising sun in your face, warming spirit and body as it also dries the morning dew as you march down a fairway that feels like velvet on your feet? How could I reveal or share the exhilara- tion of a shot envisioned in your mind that explodes off the face of your club that comes to rest exactly where you saw it finish in your mind before you made the swing? Is it possible to explain the shared joy of your regular golfing buddies making an eagle or sinking the impossible 100 foot putt or even being there when they shoot their career low round? Golf brings out the best and the worst in people, it has dimen- sions not found in other sports or games. It is the only game where you enforce the rules and regula- tions on yourself. Golf does not necessarily develop character but it surely reveals it. I am going to look at as many areas of golf as possible to hopeful- ly give insight, wisdom humour and encouragement to help you enjoy the game of a lifetime, for young and old alike. Some of the areas we will visit are local golf courses, shops, equip- ment, including grips, shafts, heads and balls for your game as well as travel locations and golf personalities Please remember, Golf is a game - Have FUN!! Coming some time in the next four weeks, will be, The Secret Of Golf. Until then hit it long and straight, T.G.G If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions please fax them to the Golf Guy c/o the Ajax Pickering News Advertiser at 905 619-9068.
