But, despite hours of dis- cussion on each issue, there were no concrete decisions made at the Pinewood Resort in Haliburton where Regional representatives were holed up from Wednesday night until Friday afternoon in an attempt to reach a consensus on the issue of governance in Durham. And, according to council- lors who attended the confer- ence, decisions on both issues aren’t expected for several weeks yet. “We had some very pro- gressive and promising discus- sions,” Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle said in an interview Friday, adding he believes the retreat allowed councillors to lay the groundwork for some of the major decisions council will face prior to the summer recess. One of those decisions will be how best to restructure the makeup of council, he said, noting there seems to be a gen- eral consensus that Durham council is too large. And, he believes if the rep- resentation is to be based on population, then the represen- tation from some municipali- ties, such as Oshawa, should be cut back. “There is a historical imbal- ance that has occurred,” he said, noting Oshawa, which has eight Regional representa- tives, has twice as many votes as Whitby and Pickering. “It’s just not justified. “What it looks like is Os- hawa has to lose two votes.” Mayor Brunelle added the rural municipalities are “over- represented” as well. Oshawa Councillor Clare Aker maintained if there are going to be changes to the number of politicians at the Regional level, those changes have to be based on a principle that applies equally to all of Durham’s member municipali- ties. “Oshawa is not the only municipality that may have to change if you want to follow through on the principle of rep- resentation by population,” she said, adding if council only wants to reduce the number of representatives from Oshawa “that’s not democracy... the principle has to be followed through.” Meanwhile, Pickering Councillor Mark Holland said while he believes there should be a reduction in the number of Regional politicians, he’s con- cerned with some of the other Boys unearth spiked ‘booby trap’on trail Pickering family fearful for safety of area kids BY DAWN DE SOUZA Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING ––The “in- nocence” of youth out playing in the woods took on a danger- ous tone for a Pickering family last week. Elizabeth Ross and her hus- band Kevin, were upset when their sons, Steven, nine, and Michael, 11 — along with friends Matthew Downes, 12, and Daniel De Souza, 11 — brought home a dangerous “booby trap” they found while out playing near their home May 15. The four were playing along a path in a wooded area around Brock Road and Dellbrook Av- enue when they found a hidden board with nails sticking out. The board, which was original- ly the back of a chair, had ap- proximately 15 four-inch long nails driven into it and was in buried in a small hole with the nails pointing up and twigs and leaves on top. “I almost stepped on it,” said Steven, adding the friends’ have also found beer bottles and burnt wood in the area. “We were walking down the path and we just saw it there,” added Matthew, who stopped Steven from stepping on the board and is concerned for other children who play in the area. “It was put there intention- ally, either as a cruel joke or a product of someone’s cruel imagination,” said Ms. Ross, who will not let her boys in the area without an adult anymore. The boys have been playing in the area for a couple of years, but this year they started com- plaining the forts they were building were being ruined and some of their wood was being burned. “It’s all in innocence, it’s all part of being a kid,” said Ms. Ross of building forts in the woods. Daniel wondered, “Why would those (people) do it? And why is it their business to wreck our fort?” At first Ms. Ross thought it was just a group of teenagers PICKERING ––A group of local boys who like to spend time in the woods near their home unearthed a spiked trap on one of the trails. From left are Daniel De Souza, Steven Ross, Matthew Downes and Michael Ross. Cyclists: Drive ‘Headsfirst’ DURHAM —Local cyclists are being encouraged to use their heads and wear a helmet when they’re out riding this summer. The Durham Region Health Department, in conjunction with the Durham Regional Police Service, is kicking off its ‘Headsfirst’ campaign for the second consecutive year in an effort to promote safe cycling practices among young people. “The Headsfirst program will allow us to encourage proper helmet usage while reinforcing other safety messages that are important to remember when riding a bicycle,” said Sheri De- vereaux, a public health nurse with the Durham Region Health Department. According to a 2001 health department survey, nearly one in four children in Durham Region between the ages of five and 17 do not consistently wear a bicy- cle helmet when riding.

The City is getting set to unveil the results of its $2.35- million waterfront project that features a public square and play area for children at the foot of Liverpool Road as well as a boardwalk that winds its way along the shoreline. The City is hosting an offi- cial opening of the project, which has been years in the making, Saturday, June 23. Much of the area, however, will be ready for public use in time for the Frenchman’s Bay Festival June 8 to 10, reported Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland, who headed the ad hoc committee of politicians and citizens that drove the Millennium Trail project. “We’re on target to com- plete the project,” he said in a recent interview. The City’s waterfront re- generation project focuses on the area around Frenchman’s Bay and includes the millen- nium square at the south end of Liverpool Road, the new millennium boardwalk along the waterfront, a new pathway through Alex Robertson Park, the creation of Frenchman’s Bay West Park and environ- mental improvements.

The Durham Region Branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses is looking for volunteers for their friendly visi- tor program. Volunteers meet with elderly, so- cially isolated, chronically ill or dis- abled individuals once a week and act as a friend. The non-profit organiza- tion tries to match volunteers with someone in their own community so visiting is easier. Right now, there are about 100 people waiting for a visitor so volun- teers are greatly needed. Anyone interested in volunteering or finding out more about the pro- gram is asked to call 905-665-2222 or 1-800-263-7970. A/P PAGE 2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 23, 2001 issues that were discussed, includ- ing the possibility of setting up a Regional transit system. Coun. Holland fears that option would only lead to increased costs for Durham’s southern municipali- ties. “There are a number of munici- palities in Durham that don’t have transit services,” he said, noting the objective for Ajax and Pickering, which recently amalgamated their transit services, is to focus on cre- ating better links with the Toronto Transit Commission. Coun. Holland also raised con- cerns about a decision to change the wording of a motion council- lors passed during an earlier retreat on governance. At that time, coun- cillors had identified Durham’s goal as being the creation of a “slimmed down” Region that would act as the “agent” of lower- tier municipalities. He said the direction now is to support the continuation of a two- tier system and to work towards a “more efficient” Regional system, while pursuing alternate service delivery options. He noted the phrases ‘slimmed down’ and ‘agent’ have been re- moved from the motion, an action he fears could eventually “erode the autonomy” of lower-tier mu- nicipalities. DURHAM from page 1 Durham councillors retreat from governance Friendly visitors sought to aid elderly neighbours picking on the smaller kids, but is now wondering if her earlier actions might have led to the trap being planted. A couple of weeks ago while in the woods, Ms. Ross came across a group of teens taking apart the boys’fort and asked them to stop. She wonders if the trap might have been retaliation for those actions. Ms. Ross is planning a cleanup of the area where the boys found the bro- ken beer bottles, chairs in the creek and other garbage.

Durham College puts some bark in its courses Durham Catholic high school teachers ratify new three-year deal More than 70 per cent approve new agreement BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Catholic high school teachers here will receive a 4.5-per cent salary increase and cover fewer on-calls after the Durham Catholic District School Board ratified a collective agree- ment last week. The pay raise is broken up into a two-per cent hike retroactive to last September, an additional one per cent this September and 1.5 per cent in February 2002. Local members of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’Associ- ation (OECTA) ratified the deal late last month, with 72 per cent of those who voted approving the tentative agreement. “I haven’t heard very many complaints,” said Bob McConnell, OECTA’s Durham secondary pres- ident. “There was a feeling that the salary issue could have been bet- ter.” He noted teachers’ workloads have been rearranged so no educa- tor is on a four-of-four class sched- ule. Mr. McConnell explained the Province mandates an average of 6.5 classes every two days per high school teacher. To meet that re- quirement, educators have been teaching four classes in one semes- ter and three in the second. The new split is 3.5 and three. “It’s the same workload, but it was very difficult to teach four,” he said. “It was very draining.” Mr. McConnell said teachers are “very hopeful” after the gov- ernment’s recent announcement that on-calls, supervisory and re- medial duties will be included in a new definition of teaching time. On-calls were previously excluded from the definition and teachers are waiting to see what effect it will have on their workload. On-calls had been a big issue in negotiations, and the two sides agreed teachers would cover a maximum of 30 per year, com- pared to an average of 60 at the present time. It works out to one on-call per week as opposed to two. As well, the number of curricu- lum heads in each high school will be standardized at 10 per school with the opening of two new Catholic high schools this fall. The board was preparing a media release Tuesday, unavail- able at press time, to comment on the successful end of negotiations.

Pickering Town Centre Only June 1st, 2nd, 3rd SALETENT Thirteen-year-old Durham girl met man several times following chat room connection DURHAM ––Police have charged a 30-year-old man with sex- ually assaulting a 13-year-old Os- hawa girl whom he met in an Internet chat room. Durham Regional Police officials said the teenager met and communi- cated electronically with a man in a chat room between March 1 and May 14. The pair later met in person on “three or four occasions in public areas” within the Oshawa area, dur- ing which times the girl was alleged- ly sexually fondled, Detective Bob Roche, of the Sexual Assault Unit, said. “She’s 13 and the law is the law. She is too young to consent (to sexu- al activity),” the detective said. The legal age of consent is 14 for girls. He said the teenager’s parents contacted authorities after they learned about the relationship through their daughter’s friends. Det. Roche said parents should be aware and closely monitor their chil- dren’s use of the computer and Inter- net. “They need to make the kids aware there are people out there who will prey on younger children,” he said. Charles Mark Idenden, of Missis- sauga, was arrested Friday following an investigation by the Sexual As- sault Unit and charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and invi- tation to sexual touching. He was released on bail following a hearing Saturday. Anyone who may have informa- tion about similar incidents is asked to call Det. Roche at 905-579-1520, ext. 5317.

There are also plans for an outdoor café area to be serviced by a mobile concession in the summer months. The waterfront project will also feature artwork by local artists depicting Pick- ering’s history. Coun. Holland reported Pickering artist Dorsey James is completing his ‘Home Place’ project, which features a series of sculptures in Alex Robert- son Park, and said the rub- berized surface for the splash park is being in- stalled this week. He noted the lights along the waterfront will be turned on prior to the Frenchman’s Bay Festival and he expects the wash- rooms and splash park will also be opened to the pub- lic in early June. However, he said the playground equipment associated with the splash park might be delayed. Coun. Holland also re- ports a fence that had been constructed around a small parcel of land on the edge of the square that’s owned by the Pickering Harbour Company (PHC), has been taken down. “For now the fence is down,” Coun. Holland said. “I think we have to com- mend (PHC president) Harold Hough on that... it was a good decision.” Earlier this year Coun. Holland had suggested the City begin the process to expropriate the land. Mayor Wayne Arthurs is also happy the issue is being resolved without a huge confrontation be- tween the City and the PHC or any movement on the expropriation. “I’m very pleased. I’m pleased we managed to build that relationship,” the mayor said. He noted he would con- tinue to meet with the PHC in an effort to “try to re- solve the ownership and leasing of the property in a fair way”.

From May through July, Durham officers will be issuing notices to chil- dren under 18 who are not wearing helmets while cycling. The notices will require children to then attend a two-hour education ses- sion highlighting proper helmet usage, current laws and safe cycling practices. If the child does not attend the session with a parent or guardian, a summons may be issued under the Highway Traffic Act. “While handing out notices, police officers will also reward children who are seen wearing helmets and practis- ing safe cycling with prizes donated by community organizations,” Ms. Dev- ereaux noted. “Response from the community regarding the program has been so positive in previous years that Headsfirst education sessions will be open to anyone who’s interested in par- ticipating.” To register for an education session, call 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5427.

Durham’s big industrial boys aren’t happy with their tax rates. Before you say, ‘So what, they’re rich anyway,’ think again. In this hyper-competitive world of ours, too high taxes could make the difference between continuing to op- erate (or choosing to come to a region in the first place) or closing the doors. While nobody’s ever happy with the rate they’re taxed at — the line of disgruntled property, business and commer- cial taxpayers starts on the left — the large industrial ratepayers actually have a real, legitimate beef. Having taken a look around Ontario, companies like General Motors, Dupont, Blue Circle Cement, Goodyear, Co-Steel, PPG and Messier-Dowty, which together employ tens of thousands of Durham workers, don’t like what they see. What they see are tax rates far lower than what they’re forced to pay in Durham. For example, GM’s large indus- trial tax rate in Durham is 90-per cent higher than what DaimlerChrysler pays in Brampton; the local automaker’s rate is 69-per cent higher than Ford’s payments in Oakville; the Oshawa car giant pays 54-per cent more than does Honda in Alliston and has a tax rate 29 per cent higher than Toyota pays in Cambridge. Clearly, when it comes to paying industrial taxes, Gen- eral Motors is not playing on a level field matched against its chief competitors. The extra taxes it must pay are an added production cost for the company, which is in a real battle to sell vehicles in a highly competitive marketplace. Large industries in Durham pay a tax rate of 9.51 com- pared to just 5.01 in Brampton and 5.63 in Oakville, ac- cording to Miriam Christie, manager of government rela- tions at GM Canada and a spokesman for the Durham Large Industrial Alliance. Ms. Christie went before the Durham finance committee last week to ask for a reduction in the region’s large indus- trial tax rate. Of course, the political hot potato here is that what goes down for one taxpayer must come up for anoth- er. The Region, already battling a tax increase for property taxpayers this year, might be forced to pass costs on in fu- ture should the large industrial rate be lowered significant- ly. That would surely infuriate property owners already looking at major tax increases. However, a competitive long-term strategy to bring large industrial tax rates in Durham in line with those found else- where in southern Ontario only makes good business sense. If the rates are lowered over a number of years, the pain can be shared among us all. Better a little more on the tax bill than thousands unemployed. Residents of Durham Region, particularly local hospital administrators, would have had terrific plans for that stupen- dous $15 billion federal surplus announced by Finance Min- ister Paul Martin last Thursday. Sure, Canada’s accumulated debt still sits in the $550-bil- lion range and the $15 billion the minister is putting toward the debt helps to chip away at it. Of far more importance is that the growth of the Canadian economy since 1993 has re- duced the debt-to-Gross-National-Product ratio from 71 per cent to 53 per cent. That’s the number economists, banks and foreign lenders look at, not the actual debt figure. And it will continue to drop, with projections pushing the number to 25 per cent by the end of this decade should the economy remain strong. That means debt reduction is not as critical as putting money into more urgent needs like health care. The federal contribution to the health-care system used to be shared 50-50 with the provinces, but those glory days were decades ago and no one seriously expects them to return. With health care chewing up such a high percentage of the provincial budget and growing exponentially each year, it wouldn’t hurt to have the feds come to the rescue. As Mr. Martin’s Ontario counterpart Jim Flaherty said Thursday, “They (the feds) have the means but not the will to invest in health care across Canada.” In fact, the feds now invest well under 20 per cent of health-care costs, and not withstanding the deal reached last September between the provinces and the feds on social spending, more is needed. Since Ottawa wants to ensure the Canada Health Act is en- forced from coast to coast, it needs to back up that demand with cash. That Mr. Martin and Prime Minister Jean Chretien chose to put money against the debt instead of putting it where it is needed most desperately right now, is a disservice to av- erage Canadians. Pressure needs to be put on the feds to meet their responsibilities fully on health-care spending before our system becomes impossible to maintain. Merv Coones said,“It’s an ex- cellent idea. It’s an area with a lot of wildlife.” Wally Henwood said, “I agree with it. We have to have all the safe and clean water we can.” Glenn Partington said,“Personal- ly I think it should be pro- tected because it’s a source of drinking water.” Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 23, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Where is all our tax money going? To the editor: More and more I talk are be- coming fed up with the ever-ris- ing tax burden. While services are being cut, user fees are on the rise and spreading out of control. Gasoline prices will hit $5 a gal- lon soon, half of which is tax. Where is all the money going? If gas companies are making record profits, imagine how much the government is raking in. Lotteries were originally al- lowed to run in Canada because the profits were used to support hospitals and health care. With lottery profits and tax support, our health-care system should be the best it has ever been. Where’s all the money? Remember the GST? This lu- crative tax scam was a temporary measure to pay off the federal debt. Why is the debt still rising? How much of it is paid yearly? Remember fair assessment? Do you know anyone whose taxes were lowered? Yes, hold on to your wallets folks because the tax grab will continue to spiral out of control until taxpayers demand account- ability. The tax hikes will be pushed through, and quickly, so they will be in place before the new housing being built in Durham is completed. Imagine the revenues, fairly assessed of course, from thousands of new homes. This is beginning to get ridiculous. The playground at our local school is torn down and not replaced and sits as a patch of dirt, while MPs vote them- selves a nice raise. Yes, we know where the money’s going. All politicians should beware. The hard-working people of this community are becoming en- raged at the gall of you greedy grabbers who are turning us into peasants. Oh. One more beef. Once Mike Harris has destroyed all the unions and has everyone work- ing for minimum wage (with no overtime), how will they afford to pay these outrageous, ever-ris- ing taxes? John Hamilton Ottawa must put more money into health care To the editor: Re: ‘Durham hospitals reel after funding denied,’ May 4. Hospital officials are using scare tactics on the heels of a dis- astrous $100-million campaign that was voted down, despite the squandering of more than $300,000 of advertising. Premier Mike Harris makes about $140,000 a year to run the whole province. The Health Care Act is con- trolled by Ottawa – now with bil- lions in surplus from taxes and the GST. Let Ottawa pick up the tab. The Chretien government funding was slashed from the 50-50 split to a point that Ontario had to put an extra $7 billion into health care. Ottawa’s share runs between 10 and 15 per cent. Now 44 per cent of the entire Ontario budget goes to health care while Ottawa calls the shots. Enough is enough. Dean J. Kelly A taxing situation for big companies Risks for economic health of region loom with higher-than-average tax rates Forget the debt Big surplus would be better spent on saving hospitals Ontario’s lawyers are worried the discovery that law students have been cheating will damage their good reputation, but they don’t really have one. About 20 students at the Uni- versity of Toronto were caught in- flating their marks to get summer jobs at bigger, more prestigious law firms that might also give them a permanent, lucrative foot in the door. The big firms court smarter students and therefore put pressure on them. But this is only one of a number of knocks the legal profession has taken recently that have cost it re- spect. When the federal government and provinces, with Ontario a leader, settled out of court a claim for compensation for victims of tainted blood transfusions for $1.2 billion, lawyers who represented victims sought $52.5 million in fees and some billed government even before any victim had been paid a penny. The case had been long and complex, but many, including Pre- mier Mike Harris, thought the charges excessive and the lawyers uncharacteristically prompt. One lawyer’s billings worked out at $2,200 an hour. Another example where lawyers were quicker off the mark than usual was at Walkerton last year when a tainted water supply was suspected in deaths and ill- nesses. Within days lawyers were reported almost trolling door to door like brush salesmen trying to persuade residents to bring law- suits. Huge fees charged by lawyers have commonly raised eyebrows. Another example was when the courts put Canadian Al- liance leader Stockwell Day and Alberta taxpayers on the hook for $792,000 in legal costs after he lost a suit for defamation arising from comments he made while serving as that province’s treasurer. Many will agree with Alberta Premier Ralph Klein, a free-enterpriser if ever there was one, who called the costs obscene. Ontario Chief Justice Roy Mc- Murtry complained fees are so high civil suits are becoming a preserve of the rich and suggested lawyers stop billing by the hour, because this encourages them to prolong cases, and bill by the case or set a ceiling in advance on the number of hours they will charge. Mr. Harris, a rarity as an On- tario premier who is not a lawyer, has not shown much respect and even indicated some contempt for lawyers. When he first offered compensation to the three surviv- ing exploited Dionne quintuplets, which the public denounced as pal- try, he quickly increased it and blamed his inadequate first offer on quibbling lawyers who had been more concerned with legalities. Mr. Harris refused to join in asking the Supreme Court of Cana- da to rule whether Quebec could declare independence unilaterally because he said the last thing need- ed was ‘another battery of lawyers’. The premier liked the phrase and said in another argument that federal Health Minister Allan Rock with his ‘battery of lawyers‚’ was more intent on being technically within the law than showing com- passion. Growing concern has been ex- pressed over abusive behaviour by lawyers in the courts. The Ontario Court of Appeal in recent months has overturned several convictions and ordered new trials because Crown lawyers acted improperly. One, it said, appeared obsessed with demeaning and denigrating a defendant and another persistently called a defendant a liar. At a conference of lawyers, sev- eral said members of their profes- sion commonly call opposing counsel ‘sleazeball’‚ and ‘idiot’‚ and incivility has never been more rife. This reporter’s personal experi- ences have been mixed. A lawyer hired to do legal work in selling a home did a thoroughly efficient job and charged only one-30th of the fee required by the real estate agent, who did less work because the house was sold within a day of going on sale. The reporter saw five security guards beat up a bicycle courier and police charge the courier with assault and offered to be a witness for the defence, but the courier’s lawyer forgot to call him in court. The reporter had to interrupt twice and insist he was supposed to testify, a dangerous thing to do when judges rule courts rigidly and allow only the scheduled to speak, and helped get the courier acquit- ted. A legal aid lawyer told the re- porter and a young friend charged with a serious offence he should not challenge police evidence and say it was fabricated, but a second lawyer said she would be happy to take on police and the Crown pros- ecutor took another look at his case and dropped the charge. A lawyer representing a devel- oper seeking to build a high-rise near the reporter’s home was found to have donated to 25 candidates for the city council which judges such requests, hoping this would give him an advantage — it is not surprising people are more wary of lawyers.

It sounds like some sort of hippie concept or something protestors at an economic summit would be advocating. While the technologies to produce power using the wind, sun or small hydro projects have been around for years, it’s only now that green power is starting to grow. That’s due in part to the connection between global warming and the burning of fossil fuels — oil, natural gas and coal — as well as concerns with nu- clear power. Another reason, especially here in Ontario, is the impending opening of the hydro market. By May of next year, the power field in the province will be more than just Ontario Power Gen- eration. The provincial government is allowing other suppliers to enter the market and consumers will have a choice of where they want to buy their power, no different than heading to the supermarket to buy a loaf of bread. Green or alternative or renewable energy, is now a fraction of the energy field in Ontario. Even advo- cates of alternative power aren’t claiming it will re- place conventional types. “We couldn’t replace all our energy needs with al- ternative energy today, because we have thrown most of our eggs into the nuclear and fossil-fuel basket for so long that the vast majority of our electricity comes from those technologies,” says Chris Pennington, a Green Party candidate in the riding of Pickering- Ajax-Uxbridge during last year’s federal election. “It’s worth remembering that had we put all that colossal time and effort into developing renewables, we might be running our economy on wind and solar power today, but there’s no use dwelling on the past... it’ll take some time to build up the alternative energy industry, so for the next couple of decades we’ll need to rely on a combination of old and new technologies, with alternatives gradually making up a larger share as time goes on. The faster our gov- ernment reorients its priorities and begins to level the playing field, the faster we will see this important tran- sition actually take place.” Dave Martin, a policy consul- tant with the Sierra Club of Canada Nuclear Campaign, agrees. “We cannot replace coal, gas and nuclear overnight, but in the long term, renewables, together with improved overall efficiency, can definitely replace conventional sources,” Mr. Martin notes. “The renewable technologies are cost-ef- fective and technically mature, but their success depends on public policy. The (Premier Mike) Harris government in Ontario has so far stubbornly resisted the policy changes which would allow re- newable energy to succeed.” So, what exactly is green energy any- way? The short answer, according to On- tario Clean Energy Coalition founder Patrick Gillette, is “By definition, re- newable energy sources that are inex- haustible.” Mr. Martin adds, “Green energy is a loose term that has been a matter of in- tense debate, as electricity sectors around the world are restructured. The reason for this debate is that green ener- gy may command a premium price, or be eligible for environmental incentives under the new competitive arrange- ments. “Green-ness depends on emissions and other impacts on the natural envi- ronment, as well as sustainability of the feedstock or fuel. The general consensus in Canada and abroad has been to re- strict the definition of green energy to the truly green options, mainly wind, solar, small hydro, and some forms of biomass.” One form of biomass is burning methane gas produced in landfills or from composting for energy. OPG cur- rently gets six megawatts of power from these sources, including a large-scale composting program in Newmarket and a landfill in Waterloo. OPG spokesman John Earl says the utility is actively exploring all alterna- tives. “We’re committed to 500 megawatts of green power. It’s a market niche that electrical generators are seeing, in North America and the world,” he notes. “Customers like not only to choose their generator, but some (environmental) stewardship as well.” OPG is committed to make “as much green power available for our customers as our customers are will- ing to contract for,” he adds. “Some companies are very environmentally conscious and they see green power as part of their commitment.” The utility is still considering a plan to put a wind- mill at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station. The 300-foot high structure would supply enough power for 200 to 300 homes. It also recently entered into an agreement to create a windmill farm at the Bruce nuclear station with British Energy (Canada), the company that is now running the Bruce facility, near Kincardine, in south- western Ontario. The windmill farm would create at least 10 MW of power, or enough to supply power for about 2,500 homes, Mr. Earl notes. The number of windmills will “depend on what manufacturer wins the contract to supply” the struc- tures, Mr. Earl says. Some windmills can produce one megawatt of power, while others can do more and some less. “It depends on what manufacturer wins the oppor- tunity. It will be between eight and 15 units,” Mr. Earl says. With windmills, “the opportunity to generate power very much depends on the wind. The capacity factor would be lower than what you would find at an oil or coal plant. Those you fire up and you operate them,” Mr. Earl says. When the arrangement with British Energy was announced, OPG chief operating officer Graham Brown said, “We expect that Ontario electricity cus- tomers will be asking for green power as part of their energy mix when the com- petitive market opens.” He added the windmill farm will “provide a nice balance to our green portfolio.” OPG resident and chief executive officer Ron Osborne said in a recent speech, “At this time, alternative energies are unlikely to be significant baseload con- tributors to our electricity supply. Our pro- grams represent a good start, however, in de- veloping new technologies that will become increasingly significant over time.” But, Mr. Osborne noted 500 MW would only represent about two per cent of the power created by the utility. OPG presently supplies 138 MW of green power, from small run-of-the-river hydro-electric projects, biomass or biogas, wind and some solar-powered sites. Run-of-the-river would be similar to a hydro-electric dam, but without the dam. As the river flows through the site, energy is created without holding up the water. Most everyone in the debate agrees most green energy will cost more. Using 1996 figures, the American Wind Energy Association estimates the cost of wind runs between 3.3 cents to six cents per kilowatt hour. But, it claims nuclear costs are between 11.1 and 14.5 cents per kWh, while coal runs between 4.8 and 5.5 cents, gas is at 3.9 to 4.4 cents and hydro is from 5.1 to 11.3 cents. Of course, the cost for gas has risen sharply in the past few months. Mr. Pennington notes, “Alternative energy sources have had an uphill climb in their ef- forts to become more cost-competitive, because the playing field in the energy industry has been tilted heavily in favour of fossil fuels and nuclear power. These older technologies have enjoyed colossal gov- ernment support over the years, dwarfing the amount of public funding for research and commercial devel- opment that goes to alternatives like solar, wind, and micro-hydro.” Wind power is already competitive and in some cases cheaper than older technologies, Mr. Penning- ton says. “While solar is still generally a little more expen- sive, the price is always coming down and the fuel, after all, is free,” he adds. “To speed up the transition to alternative energy, our government needs to reverse its history of throwing most of its research and devel- opment money toward dying technologies like nu- clear and fossil fuels, and start investing in cleaner, safer, and already cost-competitive alternatives.” Mr. Pennington contends consumers would be willing to pay the extra cost for green power. “We in the Green Party did a survey in Pickering through a non-profit group called Green Research in late 1999, and found that the majority of residents were willing to pay a little more for clean and safe al- ternative energy,” he says, noting about 80 per cent would pay the higher cost. “It’s fair to say that most people are willing to pay a bit more for alternative energy, just for the peace of mind. If all the actual costs of nuclear and fossil fuels were actually factored in, though — smog, health costs, and subsidies to nuclear power — most people would be startled to find that they are already paying a little more for old energy technologies anyway.” Mr. Martin says two large-scale public opinion surveys, co-sponsored by the Atomic Energy of Cana- da Limited and the Canadian Nuclear Association, found public concerns with nuclear power. The re- sults, released at an April conference in Ottawa, found that half of the 1,600 people surveyed opposed nuclear power, while 40 per cent were in favour. Mr. Martin says, “The nuclear industry wants to dupe Canadians into believing that nuclear power is clean. The truth is that nuclear plants constantly re- lease cancer-causing radioactive contamination into the air and water, and produce deadly radioactive waste that lasts virtually forever. It just so happens that we can’t see, taste or smell radioactive pollu- tion.” He adds, “Often the cheapest source of energy is to use what we have more efficiently. The challenge in a deregulated electricity environment is to find the pol- icy mechanisms that allow cost-effective conserva- tion to overcome market barriers.” There’s another reason to support alternative ener- gy, he says. “Renewable energy is not only economic, in the case of wind, solar and hydraulic, it’s inflation proof because there are no fuel costs,” Mr. Martin states. Free compost, anyone? Rain or shine, on May 26, more Pickering residents can join the ‘green wave of recy- cling’ by obtaining the ‘Earth Machine’backyard composter at the subsidized cost of $20. The offer is available in the parking lot at the Pickering Civic Centre and runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or while supplies last. The Earth Machine, by Norseman Plastics, will convert leaves, yard trimmings, and table scraps into a rich supply of fin- ished compost. A backyard com- poster will reduce household waste by 30 per cent and by using compost on your lawn and garden you can reduce your gar- dening water bill by up to 30 per cent as well. It’s also a great time to get some of Durham Region’s com- post. Bring along a shovel and containers to help yourself to free finished compost. Those who did so last year know the value of this natural rich soil conditioner. Information on how to set up a worm bin will also be available at the event and there will be blue boxes for sale and house- hold batteries will be taken for proper disposal. ‘Make a Difference... Com- post’was the theme of this year’s International Compost Aware- ness Week 2001 from April 29 to May 5. A display at the Pickering Recreation Complex offered draw prizes and among the win- ners were Erica Baniuk and Tim Wontorra, who received an illus- trated children’s book on com- posting. The winner of an Earth Machine was Sandra Wolch. The Pickering waste reduc- tion committee declared May 1 as ‘worm day’ in honour of the red wigglers that obligingly ate apple cores from members and staff at the display. Also, a blue box sat under the table to capture recyclables. Paper, cans and water bottles were tossed in to prove that if you put it out, it will be filled correctly. Without this blue box,those items would have probably been deposited in the nearest trash can. Brenda Bannatyne won ‘The Creative Cook’s Recycling Book’ through a draw for cus- tomers of KC’s Bakery & Deli in the Oklahoma Plaza. The book contains some good composting and other environmental tips. Shirley Smith was the winner of a Recycler’s Corner ‘Treasure Chest’draw for the composter. Another of the week’s events was a school composting word jumble. Gandatsetiagon’s green team won a puppet show on composting, while Jason Sayers from Fairport Beach’s environ- mental club won a pizza lunch for his classmates. Thanks to the City of Pickering and Pizza Pizza, respectively. The Com- posting Council of Canada (CCC) launched its week of ac- tivities in Montreal by planting a tree in memory of Pierre Trudeau. The flowers from Mr. Trudeau’s service on Parliament Hill and from the family in Mon- treal were gathered to create compost. Volunteers had to sepa- rate cellophane and elastic from the tributes, which were then placed in a special pile at the governor general’s residence. While planting your garden this year ‘plant a row — grow a row’ for your local food bank. This concept is one of the many ideas the CCC promotes.

Larraine Roulston Recycler’s Corner shouston@durhamregion.com PICKERING ––They’re coming from far and wide for Dunbarton High School’s 40th Anniversary in Whitby this weekend. Two arenas are booked for a buffet dinner and dance at the Iroquois Park Recreation Com- plex on May 26. The idea is to try and split the 40 years in half, with two decades of alumni in each arena. Organizer Terry Ryan, who was one of the first students at the Pickering school, says rough- ly 1,000 tickets have been sold and organizers are preparing for what could be a hectic week of last minute sign ups. “We’ve got people coming from California, Florida, Ireland, Winnipeg, Halifax; we’ve had a really good response from peo- ple who live far away,” he said. “It seems to be a huge amount of people from the 1960s and the 1980s. We don’t have anybody from the 1990s.” This is the third Dunbarton reunion Mr. Ryan has helped plan. He said natural curiosity to see how people have done and nostalgia is what brings people to reunions. “When I went to school, you pretty well knew everybody who was in the school,” said Mr. Ryan. “There was a lot of school spirit.” He noted a lot of the alumni remain close with some of their schoolmates and still live in the area. The fun begins at 4 p.m. at the complex, where attendees can spend a couple of hours get- ting reacquainted before sitting down to a buffet dinner from 6 to 8 p.m. Then it’s time for dancing. “We’re going to have a party,” said Leslie Laycox, a Pickering resident who went to the school in the 1960s. She keeps in touch with several of her former class- mates who live in southern On- tario, using Toronto as a central meeting place. Time is running out but tick- ets will be sold at the door for $40 a person.

The News Advertiser Gino Marrocco keeps busy with major role in heist film BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor PICKERING —After putting the finishing touches on a dramatic work, a Pickering actor is moving into the realm of comedy with his next two pro- jects. Gino Marrocco finished post- production work recently on one of his more major acting projects of late, performing in ‘The Heist’ with veteran Canadian actor Donald Sutherland. The movie also features ac- tors John Heard and Janet Kid- der, the niece of Canadian ac- tress Margot Kidder. Marrocco plays the role of mobster Paulie Vario in the story that picks up where the movie ‘Goodfellas’ left off. Sutherland is in the role of hood Jimmy Burke, the mastermind behind the 1978 Lufthansa bank heist at JFK Airport in New York City. ‘The Heist’will be aired next month as the movie of the week on the U.S.-based A&E network. In the meantime, Marrocco is working on small roles in two comedies. He’s currently acting in the movie ‘Avenging Angelo’ in Toronto. The movie stars Sylvester Stallone in the role of Frankie Delano and Madeleine Stowe as Jennifer Barrett. In ad- dition to Toronto, the movie will also be filmed in New York City and Sicily. Marrocco says ‘Avenging Angelo’is about the workings of the mob, with a comic twist, but is unwilling to divulge any more of the plot than that. “It’s a nice cameo and the script is very, very funny,” he said, adding he met Stowe while shooting on location in Toronto, but has yet to meet the film’s star, Stallone. He explained that he received the small role in the film on ac- count of working previously with the movie’s director, Mar- tyn Burke, back in the 1970s. “I did a movie called ‘Coup d’ Etat’ which starred Peter O’- Toole, and I worked with a young director named Martyn Burke. Twenty-four years later, I’m working for the same direc- tor,” he said. Following work on ‘Aveng- ing Angelo’, which is expected to wrap up in Toronto by mid- May, he’ll begin shooting anoth- er comedy, ‘My Name is Tani- no’. The movie will be com- pletely shot in Italian, with Eng- lish subtitles. The same team that produced the multiple Oscar-winning ‘Life is Beautiful’ will produce ‘My Name is Tanino’. As someone who’s fluent in Italian, Marrocco said he views working in his first Italian film as a challenge. Again, Marrocco says he’ll play a cameo role, although he was offered one of the leads in the movie but, alas, a Sicilian di- alect was required — something he couldn’t master. “It’s a totally different language (than Ital- ian),” he said. A single father to his 13-year- old son Adam, Marrocco said he’s been fortunate to have sur- vived and prospered in the enter- tainment business, acting in everything from commercials to major motion pictures since he was a youth. “It’s a hard business to be in. You have to be a strong individ- ual to be able to put up with the uncertainties of the business. Actor laughs all the way to work BiWay A S T O R E NEAR Y O U IS C L O S I N G .

Felicien, a sophomore at the University of Illinois, established yet another world-best time in winning the 100-metre hurdles final at the Robert C. Haugh Track Complex on the cam- pus of Indiana University in Bloomington. She ran the final in 12.73 seconds to win the conference title. Her record-setting race came a day after she ran, and won, her heat in a time of 12.75 — another world- best time. Her incredibly fast time in the event also broke a slew of records, including the Big Ten Conference record, the Illinois track record and a Haugh track record. It was also an auto- matic qualifying time to the National Collegiate Athlet- ic Association Outdoor Track and Field Champi- onships in Oregon next month. It was the fourth time in her track career that Feli- cien has lowered the school record in the 100m hurdles and the third time in the current outdoor season. The Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School graduate also made the final in the women’s 100-metre dash at the conference champi- onships, finishing sixth in a time of 11.82 seconds. She qualified for the final after running a personal best time of 11.62 in her heat. Felicien was also part of Illinois’women’s 4-x-100m relay team that finished in second place in a season’s best time of 44.47 seconds. The time was a provisional NCAA qualifying time, meaning it met the mini- mum standards needed to advance to nationals. The Illinois women’s track team finished seventh overall in the Big Ten Con- ference championships. NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 23, 2001 PAGE 11 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 23, 2001 Is there any going back? BY BRIAN McNAIR Staff Writer DURHAM —Time, they say, heals all wounds, but this one might be too deep to completely mend. Despite a surprising reversal of policy by the Ontario government with respect to education and teacher workloads, at least one longtime coach in Durham Re- gion can’t envision Lake Ontario Sec- ondary Schools Athletics (LOSSA) re- turning to its past glory. “I think it’s going to be very difficult for LOSSA to function again... I think LOSSA as a name is gone for good,”said Bill Dalliday, who has been the head of phys-ed at Dunbarton High School since 1989 and has continued to coach through a three-year labour dispute. “Someday, it could be run again as a teacher-run organization something sim- ilar to LOSSA, but that remains to be seen.” LOSSA, the former governing body for high school athletics in Durham Re- gion, had been in a state of disarray for two years until it disappeared altogether at the start of this school year. In the absence of LOSSA, a limited high school sports program has operated this past year through Durham District School Board phys-ed and health facili- tator Rob Dyment. Among other things, Education Min- ister Janet Ecker has announced remedi- al help by teachers will be counted as teaching time and repealed the section of Bill 74 that mandated teachers to per- form after-school activities. The new policy is expected to ease tensions and allow teachers more flexi- bility and, therefore, a better opportunity to volunteer time for extracurricular ac- tivities such as sports. “I certainly hope it means we’re going to have a LOSSA back,” said Dyment. “Hopefully we can get back to some semblance of what we’ve had in the past.” In order for that to happen, Dyment believes Durham teachers will first need a new contract specifying less hours in the classroom. Beyond that, he says a lot depends on how the added money — Ecker also an- nounced an increase of $50 million to next year’s education budget — is spent. Dyment, who attended the Durham Secondary School Track and Field championships Monday, said most teachers he spoke to there are cautiously optimistic. “It seems positive, but the wording is not specific enough for most of us right now,” said Dalliday. “It’s definitely a starting point which wasn’t there before.” Dave Roberts, a teacher at Oshawa’s R.S. McLaughlin Collegiate and LOSSA president prior to the labour dispute, said time will be needed to assess the impli- cations of Ecker’s announcement. “I don’t know what the principals are going to do, I don’t know what the boards are going to do,” he said. “I don’t know what to say other than to wait and see... There’s a lot of anticipating and guessing.” Bowmanville High School teacher Bill Todd, who presided over LOSSA for two tumultuous years in the midst of the labour dispute before resigning along with the rest of the executive, agrees much is still up in the air. “Right now LOSSA is still on hold. It’s not gone. It’s still there, but it needs more favourable conditions to come back,” said Todd. “We’ll just have to wait and see what the ramifications are.” Even if teachers believe enough time will be freed up to volunteer to coach again, Dalliday can’t imagine the sports scene ever returning to normal. He went through a similar situation in Toronto in 1974, when a labour dispute soured many teachers on coaching. “I knew a bunch of guys who said they’d never go back and, you know what, they didn’t,” he said. “I think it’s going to be very long-lasting.” Sports’leaders wonder about future of high school scene Photo courtesy of Greig Reekie/NIKE Premier Cup One step ahead PICKERING ––Tori Baker, right, of the Pickering Pythons keeps the ball just ahead of Kitchener Spirit’s Miranda Ranieri during NIKE Pre- mier Cup action in Toronto Saturday.

PICKERING — After an out- standing rookie season with the Pick- ering Boyer Pontiac Panthers, Matt Christie reaped the rewards at the Panthers annual awards recently. Christie was the recipient of the Panthers most valuable player award for the 2000-2001 OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League season. The talented 16-year-old forward led the team in scoring with 73 points in 49 games (22 goals, 51 assists), was named the South Conference’s rookie of the year, and was selected in the second round by the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League’s Prior- ity Selection Draft. Christie, however, is re- portedly by- passing the OHL in order to concentrate on earning an athletic schol- arship to a U.S. college. He’s expected to re- turn to the league next season, though not necessarily with the Pan- thers. He says, however, he hasn’t com- pletely ruled them out. Christie was also the co-winner of the Boyer Cup Award with goaltender Mike Andre- off. At the end of each Panthers’home game, the Boyer Cup three stars are selected and points are awarded for first-, second- and third-star selec- tions. Christie and Andreoff tied for the most points. It was the second time Andreoff was the Boyer Cup winner. He finished the season with two shutouts and a goals-against aver- age of just over three goals per game. Veteran Panthers’ defenceman and team captain Doug Carr was the re- cipient of the Brad Shearer Memorial Award. The award goes to the player who shows leadership on the ice, in the dressing room, and in the commu- nity. It was Carr’s final season with the Panthers, registering 37 points in 48 games (eight goals, 29 assists). He was selected to the league’s all-star team, and was a member of the Pan- thers Eastern Conference-winning team in 1998-1999. ••• The Panthers will again host their annual Pickering Panthers Scramble Golf Tournament at Seaton Golf & Country Club in Pickering on Sunday, June 24. Tee off starts at 12:30 p.m., using a shotgun format. Trophies will be awarded for the top foursome, and prizes for the longest drive and closest to the pin on the two par-three holes. Those attending can meet some of the players, coaching staff, and volun- teers who helped the Panthers to a fourth-place finish in the league’s Southern Conference standings. Entry fee is $100 per person, which includes 18 holes of golf, power cart, and dinner at Papp’s Restaurant. Sponsorship opportunities for the tournament are still available. A tee or a green sponsorship is $100 each or the tee and a green on the same hole is $150. For more information, to register, or to sponsor a tee or green, call Al Clark or Michael Boyer at Boyer Pon- tiac Buick at 905-831-2693 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. All proceeds will go to the Picker- ing Panthers junior ‘A’ hockey club.

Lucie Hewitt-Henderson, who brings 18 years’ experience as a head coach of competitive swim teams, most recently held the position with the Oakville Aquatic Club. She was formerly the head age group coach of the Ajax Aquatic Club from 1992 to 1994 and head coach of the Whitby Iroquois Swim Club from 1985 to 1992. Her impressive resume doesn’t end there. Hewitt-Henderson served as the high-performance coach of the Junior Pan Pacific Games team for the 2000- 2001 season and head coach for the Canadian World Deaf Championship Team in 1997. She’s been named a coach of the year five times since 1990, and has also been awarded many swimming development awards over the years. At the national level, Hewitt-Hen- derson was named the assistant coach for the National Youth Team in 1990 and the Ontario Winter Games Swim Team coach that same year. In addi- tion, she was selected as an assistant coach for Ontario at the Canada Sum- mer Games in 1997. New coach for Pickering Swim Club A.J.

Mathematics can be looked upon as a series of building blocks. You start by learning to count, and progress through the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, to such practical applications as measurement of length, area, volume, mass, time and money. Rounding off the elementary concepts come estimation, interpretation of data, and problem solving. Only when these basics are firmly in place, can your child progress to more advanced concepts of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and finite math. As a life skill, the subject of mathematics must be successfully addressed for a child to be able to function in today’s environment. The current Ontario math curriculum is challenging and sets out very specific expectations, which must be accomplished by the end of each grade in order to qualify for progression to subsequent grades. Having said these things, we recognize that not everybody has a flair for math, nor is everybody expected to study the subject at an advanced level. It is, however, incumbent on all students to develop math skills to their fullest potential in order to keep the doors open for pursuit of the many opportunities requiring competency in math. The Grade Math Program in Pickering is an excellent assistance program and is the best alternative to Kumon. The Grade Math Program covers grades one through eight and strictly adheres to the Ontario math curriculum. The Grade Math Program consists of fifteen minutes of home study five evenings per week, two evenings of instruction and all materials. The cost of the program is a very reasonable $70 per month, plus a $25 dollar registration fee. For more information, please call the Pickering Grade Math Programs at (905) 831-4643.

The first-place finish earned the team a platinum seed in the North American Cham- pionship tourna- ment in Florida later this year. Toronto Tour used its superb passing and shooting skills to put on quite a show for the fans. In roller hockey, an eight-goal dif- ference is called a mercy and the game ends imme- diately. Tour did this to the opposi- tion in four of its five games. In round-robin play,Toronto beat the Mississauga Rattlers 8-0, Burlington Wave 8-0, Brampton Radicals 7-3 and Squeelin’ Wheels Mounties 10-2. In the champi- onship game, Tour defeated the Brampton Radi- cals 9-1. Toronto play- ers also took home top individ- ual honours from the tournament. Kyle Cunning- ham edged team- mate Kyle Tate for top scorer in the event. The duo of Quinn Caggiula and James Ronald won the top goal- tender crown. Team mem- bers are Ryan Annesley, Caggiula, Jason Crete, Cunning- ham, Andrew Dissanayake, Danny Lefort, Liam Reddox, Ronald, John Scrymgeour, Tate, Chris Vanonlangs, and Kyle Zettler. The team is coached by Ron Vanonlangs and Ken Mulgrew. 2059 BAYLY ST. E.

Register NOW! Fox Run www.golf-durham.com/foxrun /// Golf is a target game that requires both distance and direction. Golf is also very similar to an intimate relationship where the ultimate experience is to know and to be known. The more you play and practice golf, the more you will know the riches of the game. A very good way to start or review some of its mysteries is to read books that clearly reveal some of the important golf concepts by gifted men like Ben Hogan, Harvey Penick or Ernest Jones. Beginners should take lessons from a professional teacher. This will help master the basics, including grip, stance, alignment, ball position and the swing movement. Seasoned players should also see their pro to help prevent bad habits from creeping into their swing. To play good golf you need a good swing. A successful swing is a repetitive motion returning the club face squarely to the intended line of flight and ultimately toward the target. The golf swing should be as natural as throwing a ball or skipping a stone. Once you have a repetitive golf swing you are on the road to playing good golf. The reason repetitive is good is that now you can determine the distance portion of the golfing equation. It is important to know how far each of your golf clubs propels the golf ball for both carry and roll. To determine this, get a dozen new golf balls, the type you use during play, a helper and a spot that you can determine ball flight, carry and roll. Hit all 12 balls with one club then discard the 3 shortest and the 3 longest shots, then average out the distance for the remaining six. Do this for all your clubs, except putter and now you will be armed with the knowledge to play great golf. One caveat to this of course is the assumption that the lofts and lies are correct on your clubs, but that is a topic for another day. You are now equipped to play great golf using your knowledge and skill to apply distance and direction when on the golf course. Applying a few simple rules of course management to your game will help you improve quickly, 1. Use enough club on your approach shot to comfortably get to the flagstick. 2. Hit your shots with positive thoughts and pictures in your mind. 3. Have a routine for every shot, focusing on grip, aim and setup. 4. Tempo and balance. Swing only with enough force to stay in complete control. 5. When playing a full shot into the wind or to an elevated green or when chipping or pitching uphill, use a less lofted club, downwind, downhill or to a lower level green, a more lofted club.

ADVERTISING FEATURE Pro golf beckons European teen ELS, ROBERTS TO REUNITE? Decisions, decisions. Caddie Ricci Roberts said he would de- cide during the MasterCard Colo- nial whether to leave his employer Nick Price to reunite with Ernie Els. Els offered Roberts his old job after receiving permission from his good friend Price. Els and Roberts parted in 1998 after they won two U.S. Opens. Roberts, with Price for more than a year, said he and Els would have to work out “loose ends,” including salary, which was a sticking point when Roberts left Els. He said a similar flat-fee structure this time would be unacceptable. “He’s not an easy customer,” Roberts said of Els. “They call him the Big Easy, but that’s be- cause of his golf swing. To work for him ... (he) isn’t the easiest guy in the world to work for. The only thing that has me leaning that way is he’s got probably 10 years left (Els is 31) and Nick, 44, is wind- ing down. I love working for (Price), but this is a business.” TULSA’S SECRET WEAPON Who says you can’t get good help nowadays? Former LPGA player Melissa McNamar, in her first year as head coach at her alma mater,Tulsa,is making a late addi- tion to her coaching staff in time for the NCAA Division I Women’s Championship — her mother, Dale, who guided the Tulsa pro- gram for 26 years. The former coach won four national champi- onships and finished second five times. “This team is all her recruits and I know she has a very special place in her heart for this team and for the coach and it’s real exciting for her,” said McNamara. An LPGA Tour player for 11 years, McNamara also won the NCAA individual title in 1988. TAP-INS AND LIP- OUTS The Palm Beach Post reported that Donald Trump has finalized a two-year deal to bring the LPGA Tour Championship to Trump In- ternational Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. The four-day event, which is limited to this sea- son’s top-30 money winners, will be played Nov. 15-18. ... Nick Price was not very pleased to learn about changes to Southern Hills, the site of next month’s U.S. Open, where Price won the 1994 PGA Champi- onship. “I heard they have seven new tees,” Price said, referring to added length. “That’s ridiculous. We’ll be hitting 5-irons into greens that were designed for 7- irons. And these young guys will be still hit- ting 8-irons in.” ... Tom Kite and caddie Mike Car- rick have parted ways after 20 years to- gether. ... The Forecaddie hears there will be some golf talk in and around the Lincoln Bedroom soon. While playing at the Kemper Open,Ben Crenshaw will spend a couple of nights at the White House. Cren- shaw, a lifelong Austin, Texas, resident, is a friend of President George W. Bush,the former Texas governor. — Golfweek BY ALISTAIR TAIT Golfweek They say familiarity breeds contempt. In Nick Dougherty’s case it breeds confidence. Dougherty not only sur- vived the halfway cut in the Benson & Hedges Interna- tional Open at The Belfry in England, but he also managed to tie for 12th place. That makes it three professional tournaments played this year, three cuts made. Not bad for an 18- year-old. Dougherty shot a final- round, 1-under-par 71 for a 3-under 285 total. Dougherty is a protege of Nick Faldo. They first met when Dougherty shot a 69 in horrendous condi- tions at the Forest of Arden, England, in a Faldo Junior Tournament. Faldo was im- pressed by the 15-year-old and took him under his wing. “He gave me a few lessons, and I won straight after he gave me the lessons,” Dougherty said. “In fact, I won three of the next four tournaments I played. We have become really good friends since then.” Faldo has transformed Dougherty, who turns 19 on Thursday, from a raw amateur into a player ready to make the jump to the pro ranks. “I can’t put into words how great he’s been with me,” Dougherty said. “Un- til I met him when I was 15, I thought golf was just about turning up, having a couple of practice swings and that was it. He got me working on fitness and diet, flexibility, and things like the mental aspects of the game. “(Faldo) is a great guy. Probably the reason he gets a bad rap is because he’s so focused.” The Benson & Hedges is only the sixth professional tournament Dougherty has played. He missed the cut in his first three events but already he feels as if he be- longs on the PGA Euro- pean Tour. “I do feel comfortable now. I found it difficult at first, because you always feel the pros are thinking, ‘Oh, he’s just another ama- teur,’” he said. “Once I made the cut in the Morocco Open, though, I felt the mon- key was off my back.” Dougherty also has re- ceived help from another former outstanding ama- teur. Like Dougherty, Justin Rose was another young golfer who was ex- pected to do well in the pro ranks. Rose struggled when he turned pro after finishing fourth in the 1998 British Open,but he has now made his mark in the professional game. And he is passing on his knowledge to Dougher- ty. “Justin has been amaz- ing. He’s really helped me because I’ve played a lot of practice rounds with him. He’s more or less taught me the way it goes out here,” Dougherty said. Dougherty revealed at The Belfry that he will turn professional after the Walk- er Cup. He says the lure of professional golf is just too irresistible to turn down. “I love it out here, once you get the taste of it. Well, I’ve got the taste of it, and I can’t wait to be doing it full time,” he said. Dougherty will proba- bly play in the British Mas- ters, then the Irish Open and the Dutch Open. He says playing in so many pro tournaments should give him a shot at earning enough money to secure his 2002 European Tour card. “At least I won’t be like Justin (Rose), who was probably thrown into the pro game too quick,” Dougherty said.

Ernie Els ETIQUETTE&RULES Q:Is it true that it’s now permissible to remove stones from bunkers without incurring a penalty? A:No. If your ball is in a bunker and you re- move a stone from that bunker, you’re in breach of Rule 13-4c (touching or moving a loose impediment lying in or touching the hazard). Some confusion has occurred over this issue because the commit- tee in charge of a competition may now implement a Local Rule that deems stones in bunkers to be movable obstruc- tions. (Movable obstructions may be moved or removed from bunkers.) Please keep in mind that this is a Local Rule only and that you cannot touch stones in bunkers unless the Lo- cal Rule is in effect. The USGA suggests and anticipates that this rule will be implemented only in rare instances. — Golf For Women magazine (www.golfforwomen.com) TRIVIA Ever wonder why so many golfers wear colorful attire? According to the PGA, the tra- dition of bright clothing goes back to the very beginning of the game. Military archers would wear bright red uniforms for the same reason hunters wear orange and red today. The early golf clubs were made up of mostly military men, so the idea of wearing bright clothing to be seen while playing carried over to golf.

The nationals showcased 250 trampolinists and tumblers from six provinces. The three-day event at Toronto’s Humber College featured com- petition in synchronized trampoline, individual trampoline, double-mini trampoline and power tumbling. Cory Kozmik, 13, of Ajax, and Amanda Pat- terson, 16, of Pickering, competed in the nation- al novice women’s division, while, Evan Pelan, 14, of Pickering, vied for the podium in the novice national men’s category. Ben Snape, 21, of Pickering, competed in the senior men’s com- petition. Kozmik earned a gold medal in synchronized trampoline with her partner Rosie McLennan from King City. The duo was six full points ahead of the silver medallists. Kozmik also proceeded to the finals in the in- dividual event with a ninth-place preliminary showing while competing against 37 women from across Canada. She increased that standing in the fi- nals to a re- spectable and out- standing seventh- place finish. It was Kozmik’s debut at the nationals where she com- peted against women who pos- sessed up to five years experience at the level. Meanwhile, Snape won the gold medal with partner Mathieu Turgeon in the synchronized event and a bronze medal in the individual event. Snape has been selected to represent Canada at the Trampoline and Tumbling World Trials in Denmark this July. Pelan finished seventh in the finals of the indi- vidual event, while Patterson was 10th in the fi- nals of the individual trampoline.
