Pickering teens
attacked with broken
bottles, chair legs
PICKERING —Two teenage
friends were attacked with bro-
ken bottles and chair legs in a
park behind Pine Ridge Sec-
ondary School early Sunday, po-
lice say.
The attack occurred about 1
a.m. when the victims, both 16-
year-old boys, were confronted
by a pair of youths near the track
behind the school.
Durham Regional Police said
the two sides exchanged words
and the victims were assaulted
for no apparent reason.
One suffered a cut to his
face that required several stitch-
es while the other received
bumps and bruises, police said.
The victims were treated at the
Ajax and Pickering Health Cen-
tre.
Police said the assailants
were known to one of the victims
and officers are continuing their
investigation.
Marine rescuers
help six to safety over
Labour Day weekend
DURHAM —Stranded
boaters kept the City of Oshawa
Marine Rescue Association busy
over the holiday weekend, rescu-
ing six boaters.
According to COMRA, two
boaters were rescued in Lake
Ontario Saturday after the vessel
the pair were travelling in from
St. Catharines to Toronto, ran out
of fuel and battery power.
Despite attempts by the two
to attract help through the use of
flares, the couple was adrift until
a freighter spotted the 23-foot
Bayliner 10.5 nautical miles
south of Ajax.
In the process of towing the
vessel to the Port Whitby Marina,
COMRA received a call from a
vessel aground between Oshawa
and Whitby.
This 26-foot sail boat was
pulled off the rocks and returned
to its home port. There were no
injuries reported from among the
four people on board.

Johnson probe to wrap up soon
Pickering solicitor
will report findings
on dispute to council
BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE
Staff Writer
PICKERING —City
council will hear the results of
an investigation into the recent
actions of Ward 3 Regional
Councillor Rick Johnson later
this month.
Coun. Johnson has come
under fire for building a road to
a landlocked piece of property
in north Pickering that he pur-
chased last year, and for cut-
ting down trees along the bor-
der between Pickering and
Uxbridge to create a driveway.
John Reble, solicitor for the
City of Pickering, said a review
into Coun. Johnson’s actions
are being conducted and he ex-
pects to report to council with-
in the next 30 days.
“I will be reporting the re-
sults to council later this
month,” said Mr. Reble.
Meanwhile, Mr. Reble and
City staff said Pickering chief
administrative officer Tom
Quinn, back from vacation, is
standing by his statement re-
leased last week claiming
Coun. Johnson did not have the
necessary approvals for the
roads. Mr. Quinn could not be
reached on Tuesday and City
staff said he is making no other
comment.
In an interview Tuesday,
Coun. Johnson maintained he
did have permission from Mr.
Quinn to go ahead with the
work, but added he does not
have permission for any further
construction on the property.
“I’ve had permission for
what I’ve done so far,” he said.
“Just not for building a house
on the property... but that is an-
other bridge to cross when we
come to it.”
Coun. Johnson referred all
other inquiries on the matter to
his lawyer, John Howes.
Mr. Howes said he would be
discussing the matter with the
City solicitor over the next few
weeks.
He also said he had no other
comments or statements and
would not be answering any
more questions at this time.
“I don’t think there’s any-
thing productive in continuing
to repeat myself,” said Mr.
Howes in an interview Tues-
day. “Nothing has changed.”

Students in awe
of brand new Notre
Dame, even as
work continues
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
AJAX —There was some
sticky paint. New computers
sat in unopened boxes. The
cafeteria and gym weren’t
ready. And not every class had
enough desks and chairs.
But while construction
workers are still putting the fin-
ishing touches on Notre Dame
Catholic Secondary School,
Ajax’s second Catholic high
school opened as planned Tues-
day, and students were im-
pressed with the facility. Stu-
dents from both Ajax and Pick-
ering attend the new facility.
“Whoa, it’s huge,” mar-
velled Grade 11 student Clarice
Crooker.
The former St. Mary
Catholic Secondary School stu-
dent said she was happy to be
in a new school, noting all her
friends are here.

day morning, but there were still some finish-
ing touches required. The school is one half
of the joint facility that will eventually house
Catholic and public school students. The
public portion is expected to open next year.
School’s in for Pickering students
AJAX —Durham Regional
Police laid more than 20 charges
against eight youths last week in
relation to several violent street
crimes in Ajax and Pickering.
“These were separate inci-
dents in the last little while,”
said Durham Regional Police
spokesman Sergeant Paul
Malik. “The eight were known
to each other (but they were)
separate incidents.”
The males, all Ajax residents,
are under 18 years of age and
cannot be named under the
Young Offenders’Act.
Durham police recently an-
nounced they were stepping up
their presence in Ajax and Pick-
ering to help “combat a disturb-
ing increase in violent, bullying-
type street crimes”.
At the time, police said there
had been 15 violent street rob-
beries in Ajax and Pickering
over a three-week period. In
some incidents up to 20 people
attacked victims with baseball
bats and sticks while taking their
wallets, jewelry and cellphones.
Police said victims described
suspects within this group as
male black, 15 to 18 years old
and sometimes riding bicycles.
Police are encouraging resi-
dents to come forward with any
information they may have
about violent crimes in Ajax and
Pickering over the summer
months.
New high school virtually off the ground
ANDREW IWANOWSKI/ News Advertiser photo
Katie Marks is joining other virtual students in Durham
this year to learn some subjects. Katie will log on at home
for Grade 11 math.
About 100 Durham
students ready to log
on for studies any
time of the day
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Classroom
study will take on a different
look this year for Katie Marks.
“There’s a big desk with a
computer, a TV and a bed,” re-
lated the Ajax resident.
For one course, Grade 11
functions, the Pickering High
School student’s classroom is
the basement of her house —
her brother’s room.
Katie is a virtual high school
student, among the first in the
Durham District School Board
to take a course online. She can
log on and go to math class at
noon or midnight, any day of the
week.
“I think it’ll be a new experi-
ence,” she said. “I guess it’ll be
a lot more convenient.”
Katie will work almost every
evening at McDonalds this
school year, arriving home as
late as 1 a.m. She likes to wind
down after work and plans to
use some of that time for her
math course.
Just to be safe, she’s also tak-
ing the course in a real class-
room at Pickering High School.
The online course is her “back-
up”.
“If I fail my course in school
but pass the one on the comput-
er, I’ll still have a credit,” Katie
explained.” I didn’t want to just
go in the computer course only
because I didn’t know what was
going to happen.”
The Durham Virtual High
School is one of three compo-
nents of the Durham Virtual
Campus, which also includes a
professional training and contin-
uing education division. Four
Grade 11 credit courses will be
offered in the virtual high school
this year, with students only per-
mitted to take one online course
each, pending the approval of
their day-school principal.
Board officials say online
learning is beneficial to students
like Katie, who have jobs, are
self-motivated, good time man-
agers and interested in directing
their own learning.
Leo Plue, the virtual high
school’s supervising principal,
said about 100 pupils are poised
to begin learning online on next
week.

Funding to fight E. coli strain sought by Durham
BY JENNIFER STONE
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––There is “rea-
sonable optimism” that the
Province will provide funds to
help Durham Region test for a
drug-resistant strain of E. coli
bacteria found in several local
hospital patients, says an On-
tario Health Ministry
spokesman.
Durham’s associate medical
officer of health Dr. Donna
Reynolds met with Ontario’s
chief medical officer, Dr. Colin
D’Cunha, and several experts on
the topic last Thursday,Aug. 30,
says ministry spokesman John
Letherby. And, “following those
meetings... and more to come,
there shows reasonable opti-
mism that the (funding) issue
can be addressed,” he says.
Durham Region officials had
sent a letter to Premier Mike
Harris earlier in August, asking
for his “urgent attention” to the
situation. The health department
announced in late May that a
drug-resistant strain of E. coli,
known as Extended Spectrum
Beta Lactamase, was identified
in a cluster of seven patients at a
Durham hospital in July 2000.
Since then, Durham’s health
department has been working
with infectious disease special-
ists at Toronto’s Mount Sinai
Hospital to try to contain the
spread of the bacteria, since
provincial labs were not provid-
ing support.
“The testing (for the bacte-
ria) was being paid for by
Mount Sinai Hospital through
their research funding,” explains
Durham Regional Councillor
Larry O’Connor, chairman of
the Region’s health and social
services committee. But,
“They’ve come to the point
where they say they can’t sup-
port it anymore, we’re gong to
have to stop the testing.”
Still, given the situation,
“there has to be some ongoing
testing taking place,” says Mr.
O’Connor, noting last week’s
meeting with the Province has
him “guardedly optimistic”.
AJAX —Former school board
trustee and councillor Colleen Jor-
dan is the new head of theSocial De-
velopment Council of Ajax-Picker-
ing.
Ms. Jordan replaces Duncan Read
as the executive director of the
agency.
She served two terms as a trustee
on the former Durham Board of Ed-
ucation and one term as the Ward 3
local Councillor in Ajax. She is also
the chairman of the Durham Child
Poverty Task Force.
Ms. Jordan says one of her aims
for the agency is
having it contin-
ue, “serving the
community that
it has historical-
ly.”
The SDC was
set up in 1970 to
promote caring
and inclusive
communities in
Ajax and Picker-
ing. Among the
programs offered
are support for
nutritional pro-
grams in Durham Region schools,
settlement services for new immi-
grants, help finding affordable hous-
ing, and Rent and Community Trusts
to assist people in financial distress
stay in their homes.
Other initiatives include address-
ing disability and sustainable race re-
lations issues.
Among the studies prepared by
the SDC were the Community Well-
ness and The Quality of Life in
Durham reports, both released in
2000.
Also, the In-
formation Cen-
tre produces the
Ajax-Pickering
Blue Book,
which provides
information re-
garding avail-
able govern-
ment and com-
munity ser-
vices.
Ms. Jordan
says an on-line
version of the
Blue Book will
be released in
the fall.
The council
is the “lead
agency for the
Durham Fund-
ing Network,
which is funded
by the Ontario
Trillium Foun-
dation. (The
network) serves
to assist local
non-profit and
charitable orga-
nizations, sup-
porting them in
finding funding
and resources
to carry out
their initia-
tives.”
The network
is “relatively
new” and the
area United
Ways are also
involved with
the group, she
says.
The network
is a “three-year
project” with a
Web site and
800-number to
be established,
she says.
AJAX —Local MPPs recently an-
nounced a local program that helps
new residents settle in the community
will receive over $37,000 from the
Province.
Jim Flaherty, MPP for Whitby-
Ajax, and Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge
MPP Janet Ecker said the Social De-
velopment Council of Ajax-Pickering
is getting the Ministry of Citizenship
money for its newcomer settlement
program.
The program supports the early and
effective settlement of newcomers to
Ontario by providing money for immi-
grant services and support.
“This government is proud to sup-
port the newcomer settlement pro-
gram,” said Mr. Flaherty in a release.
“This funding will assist immigrants
who relocate to the Ajax-Pickering
area and will help families and individ-
uals begin new lives in our communi-
ties as well as add to the rich cultural
fabric in our province.”
Ms. Ecker added, “Our government
appreciates the important role the So-
cial Development Council plays in
helping immigrants adapt more quick-
ly and easily to their new lives in our
community. This funding will help
support the services they provide.”
Organizations will share $3.9 mil-
lion in funding this year from the Citi-
zenship Ministry.

How Secure is your Trailer Hitch Ball?
There are thousands and thousands of
cars and trucks on the road that have a
hitch ball attached to their rear end to tow
a trailer. But how many of these drivers
think that one day this little ball might give
out without warning?
In fact, very few people realize that his
little part must be maintained. After all, it
seems so insignificant! But in fact, it plays
a very important role. Rust is enemy
number one for hitch balls because it can
slowly but steadily eat away at the metal.
Can you imagine what might happen if
this ball should give way while you are
towing something? That’s why it is
positively, absolutely crucial to use safety
chains. While they can’t offer a total
security, they can be a great help if you
run into any trouble!
If it is used regularly, you should keep
your trailer hitch ball well oiled. And above
all, make sure that the weight being towed
is not more than the towing capacity of
the ball! If your hitch ball starts looking
worn or if you’re reluctant to use it (or
even worse, if it doesn’t display its towing
capacity), you should invest in a new one.
Chances are you won’t have to spend
more than $40. This part is available in
most large car care stores or even better,
in shops that specialize in trailer hitches.
Why not take advantage of this
opportunity to check your hitch at the
same time?

Community mourns death of Dr. J. Murray Speirs
Renowned local
ornithologist dies at 92
PICKERING —Bird lovers every-
where are mourning the loss of their “quiet
giant”.
Dr. J. Murray Speirs, whose long and
distinguished career was honoured last No-
vember when Governor General Adrienne
Clarkson visited his Altona Road home in
Pickering to invest him in the Order of
Canada, died Monday of heart failure at
about 4 a.m. He was 92. Dr. Speirs passed
away at Central Park Lodge in Toronto,
where he’d been staying since the begin-
ning of the summer.
“I think he’d want to be remembered for
his dedication to the environment,” niece
Rosemary Speirs said yesterday, noting he
had long supported the Rouge Valley, Oak
Ridges Moraine, Altona Forest and Thick-
son Woods in Whitby, among others.
She added the visit from Ms. Clarkson
was certainly a highlight.
“It was a great thrill,” she said. “He may
have felt it honoured his life. I think it was
a wonderful high for him.”
A Pickering resident for more than 50
years, Dr. Speirs wore many hats in his
long career, including those of author,
teacher, researcher, naturalist and bird
watcher. He co-founded the Pickering Nat-
uralists in 1977, published the two-volume
work ‘Birds of Ontario’ in 1985, and in
1995 donated a 12-hectare piece of his
property in the Altona Forest, the Dr. J.
Murray Speirs Ecological Reserve, which
continues to be a site for scientific moni-
toring and study.
Linking most of his pursuits was a love
of birds. Dr. Speirs once said, “There’s
nothing more alive than a bird,” and the
creatures held his fascination since he was
a six-year-old boy in Toronto, watching a
ruby-crowned kinglet in his parents’back-
yard.
In 1931, at the age of 22, he joined the
Wilson Ornithological Society, the first of
many such groups with which he would
become involved. Dr. Speirs received his
doctorate at the University of Illinois in
1946 with his thesis, ‘Local and migratory
movements of the American robin in east-
ern Northern America’. In addition, he was
a University of Toronto faculty member for
almost 30 years.
Dr. Speirs is survived by Ms. Speirs, his
step-daughter Iris Weir, nephews Gordon
and David Speirs, his great-nephew John
Murray Deverell, and grandchildren Adele
Khoenke, Margaret Wilson, Phillip Weir
and Miles Hearn.
A funeral service is being held Satur-
day, Sept. 8 at 9 a.m. at McEachnie Funer-
al Home, 28 Old Kingston Rd., in Picker-
ing Village. Visitation is Friday from 2 to 4
p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Members of the pub-
lic are welcome to pay their respects, and
in lieu of flowers, the family asks that a
donation be made to the Pickering Natural-
ists.
Dr. J. Murray Speirs died
Monday, leaving a legacy
of active environmental-
ism.
Alzheimer’s survey needs
caregiver participation
DURHAM ––Your input
is needed for a University of
Waterloo study that will look
at the needs and experiences
of caregivers.
The Alzheimer Society of
Durham Region invites care-
givers of people with demen-
tia to participate in the confi-
dential survey. A caregiver is
anyone who provides assis-
tance to a person with
Alzheimer’s Disease or a re-
lated dementia.
Although this is a
provincewide survey, a local
co-ordinator says it’s impor-
tant for Durham’s caregivers
to take part, since Durham
Region has one of the largest
dementia populations in On-
tario.
“If we get a large enough
response locally to the sur-
vey, the university will share
with us results that are spe-
cific to Durham,” says
Megan North, family support
co-ordinator.
Call Ms. North at 905-
576-2567 or 1-800-301-
1106 for more information.

On March 23rd, 2001, the Honourable David
Collenette, Minister of Transport, announced
that the Government of Canada would take
steps to further protect as green space the
portion of the Oak Ridges Moraine and areas
around the Rouge Park which are located on
the federally owned Pickering Lands.
Transport Canada will preserve approximately
2,251 hectares (5,562 acres) of the Oak Ridges
Moraine located on the northern portion of
the federally owned Pickering Lands Site.
In addition, Transport Canada will preserve
another 800 hectares (2,000 acres) along the
western boundary for the purpose of an alter-
nate Rouge Park Corridor. The Rouge Park
North Management Plan envisions a contiguous
green space corridor extending from Lake
Ontario northward to the Oak Ridges Moraine.
Transport Canada’s Green Space Project Team
is exploring the future stewardship and manage-
ment of these lands and is seeking input from
residents, businesses in the public and private
sectors, and community organizations.
We invite you to come to learn more about this exciting project. We welcome your
comments and suggestions. Information will be made available at the Open Houses

DURHAM —Beginning yester-
day, GO Transit began running a new
eastbound afternoon rush-hour express
train into Durham Region.
The train will leave Union Station
in Toronto at 4:10 p.m., running ex-
press to the Rouge Hill GO station in
Scarborough, then Pickering, Ajax,
Whitby, and Oshawa. A bus will take
passengers further east.
“We always need more GO trains,”
said Durham Chairman Roger Ander-
son.
GO Transit said the new train will
free up seats on its popular 4:25 p.m.
express train into Durham.
All aboard new GO rush-hour train
“We’re not trying to close day
schools,” said Mr. Plue. “All we’re try-
ing to do is provide an alternative for
learners, an alternative that fits their
lifestyle.”
Board officials from the beginning
have said they want to be the best online
learning provider, not the first. Other
models, they say, are static, where stu-
dents are basically reading text online.
Durham promises courses that are more
interactive, such as Grade 11 science, in
which, said e-learning project manager
Todd Hitchcock, students can do chem-
ical experiments online with three-di-
mensional beakers.
Students will e-mail questions and
course work to their teacher, and can
post questions for either the teacher or
the entire class to see.
Mr. Hitchcock said if students have a
technical problem, they can e-mail
eCollege, the board’s e-learning soft-
ware and services provider, and receive
a response within a day. There’s also a
toll-free telephone number that will be
answered, “Durham District School
Board” — from Denver, Colorado.
But while online learning may be
sexy, it’s more work than taking a tradi-
tional course.
“I can go to class and listen or not
listen, you’re not going to find out as a
teacher until a test,” explained Mr. Plue.
In the online class, the teacher will
monitor how much time students are
spending on the course. In fact, regular
communication with the teacher and
other students is a crucial part of the
medium, because after all, it can be
kind of lonely being a virtual student.
“We want to hear from them,” said
the board’s technology superintendent,
Laura Elliott. “You can’t sit back and
coast because you’re going to get a
phone call or an e-mail from the
teacher.”
The teachers, by the way, are real.
One of the two hired to both teach vir-
tual classes and improve the courses for
future years is English/drama educator
Steven Bland, who is entering his 20th
year of teaching. Mr. Bland was a mem-
ber of the development team of teachers
that created the curriculum for the vir-
tual courses and will be teaching media
studies and Canadian law.
“My job is going to be very different
from what I’ve done in the past,” he
said.
Like his students, Mr. Bland figures
he’ll spend most of his time at home in
front of his computer or online at the
education centre. And, also like his stu-
dents, school will be in session at odd
hours. “A lot of these students we know
go online between 7 p.m. and mid-
night,” he said.
One of his challenges will be to get
the students working well in dedicated
chat rooms for study groups of three to
five pupils each. One main difference
between these courses and a regular
classroom study is that the volume of
feedback and discussion will be greater.
That suits Katie fine.
“If I need help, I know I’ll get help,”
she said.

New school, new school year
“For lunch, where do you
want to meet?” Clarice called
to a friend.
Like many students, pri-
ority one was finding her first
class of the day. In fact, “I’m
lost” was the most common
phrase heard Tuesday morn-
ing, and some students com-
plained there were no direc-
tions, though each had previ-
ously received a map of the
school.
“It’s huge and I just
walked in the door,” said an
overwhelmed Samantha
Brighton, entering Grade 11.
“We can’t find anything.”
Scott Smith stood in the
foyer, illuminated by a large
skylight, and took a moment
to prepare himself for the
first day of his first year in
high school.
“Nice; huge,” said the Sir
John A. Macdonald graduate,
looking around and admit-
ting he was a bit nervous.
“Big school,” he repeated.
“It’s awesome,” said
Grade 10 student Jake Fun-
nell.
Grade 10 pupil Kelvin
Webster liked that there was
more space than at his previ-
ous school, Monsignor Paul
Dwyer Catholic High School
in Oshawa. “The halls are ac-
tually pretty big,” he said.
Grade 11 business appli-
cations teacher Mike Cicci
wrote his name on the board
at the front of his class and
students breathed a sigh of
relief to know, for sure, that
they were in the right place.
“It’s great so far,” he said
of Day 1. “(The workers
have) done an amazing
amount of work in the last lit-
tle while.”
Principal Brian Hughes
was on the front lines Tues-
day morning, helping stu-
dents find their way. He, too,
complimented board staff
and construction workers for
getting the building as ready
as was possible.
“The custodians need to
be praised,” he said.
Roughly 10 minutes late,
at around 8:15 a.m., he was
on the public address system
to welcome students.
“Good morning Notre
Dame,” said Mr. Hughes.
“This is a one-and-only op-
portunity because never
again will there be a first day,
and never again will there be
an opening prayer.”
School chaplain Anne
Schultheis had that honour,
reading from St. Paul’s letter
to the Corinthians and telling
students, “we are the body of
Christ.
“By playing our part in
creating community... we do
build your body. Have a great
day.”
Mr. Hughes told the
school population to “please
bear with me during the
course of the day,” promising
more announcements and
visits to classrooms that
needed his attention.
To make his first day even
more hectic, Mr. Hughes said
four or five classrooms were
flooded on the weekend,
with a malfunctioning sprin-
kler system the likely culprit.
One of the classrooms was
out of commission for the
first day.

BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM ––They’re
young, bored and brazen.
Most come from middle-
class suburban homes, don
bandannas as a ‘fashion state-
ment’ and rob mostly just for
kicks, unlike the typical hard-
core, inner-city street gang
members raised in a climate of
social and economic hardship.
Police say the number of or-
ganized and “disorganized”
street gangs has grown dramat-
ically across Durham Region
in the past year, leading to an
explosion of violence includ-
ing street robberies, swarmings
and serious assaults and gun-
play.
In response to a recent
crime wave in Ajax and Picker-
ing, Durham Regional Police
last week launched a street-
crime task force made up of 12
officers assigned to identify,
track down and arrest the pack
of thugs responsible.
More than the dramatic in-
crease in the number of as-
saults, however, police are
growing concerned about the
escalating level of violence.
In some cases 20 assailants
have attacked victims with
weapons such as knives, base-
ball bats and sticks while rob-
bing them of cash, cell phones
and jewellery and Walkmen.
In a three-week period this
last month, there were 15 street
robberies in the area patrolled
by 19 Division. Police investi-
gated 71 robberies in Ajax-
Pickering in the first six
months of 2001, more than
double the previous year when
there were just 35 from Janu-
ary to June.
“It’s a huge, unexpected in-
crease in both the numbers and
level of violence. Not only are
these totally unprovoked, ran-
dom attacks, some are ex-
tremely vicious,” says Sergeant
Bruce Townley, head of the
project called ‘Operation Erad-
icate 2.’
In some cases, victims have
been robbed for “trivial
things,” he says, such as a
necklace of little value, or $2.
“In a number of cases these
victims are ambushed and at-
tacked for no particular rea-
son,” Sgt. Townley says.
In one, a 16-year-old Ajax
boy suffered a broken orbital
bone when he was swarmed,
robbed, badly beaten and hit
with a branch while sitting
with friends on a bench near
Lakeside Public School, police
say.
In Whitby, a 19-year-old al-
leged member of a Toronto-
based gang known as the Crips,
whose members wear the
colour blue, was arrested fol-
lowing a vicious attack on a
young man whose only crime
was, according to police,
“being in the wrong place, at
the wrong time, in the wrong
shirt colour.”
The victim, who isn’t a
gang member, was wearing a
red shirt, the colour worn by
the gang called the Bloods,
who are sworn enemies of the
Crips.
Police say there are no orga-
nized gangs of Crips or Bloods
in the region, although there
are some members from
Toronto gangs who have
moved here.
Street gangs are divided by
police into two categories.
There are ‘economic-based’
gangs, made up of youths from
low-income neighbourhoods,
and ‘thrill-based’gangs, gener-
ally comprised of kids from
middle-class families.
Economic-driven gangs
commit crimes for drugs,
money or material possessions
they normally can’t afford,
while thrill-based gang are mo-
tivated by boredom, says Con-
stable Brian Deboski of the Os-
hawa street crime unit.
“These are usually kids
from middle-class neighbour-
hoods, where both parents
work and they grew up with a
latch-key around their neck.
They’ve got money, they’re
bored and they commit crimes
for the thrill,” the officer says.
Of the 10 to 15 named street
gangs identified in Oshawa -
about twice the number from a
couple of years ago - almost all
are thrill-based, he says.
Police have identified two
hardcore - economic-based -
gangs in the city, one whose
territory encompasses the
south end in the Oxford and
Wentworth streets neighbour-
hood, and the other in the Dean
Avenue-Normandy Street area.
“We do have a growing
problem with street gangs in
Durham, both thrill-based and
economically based, and with
them has been an increase in
the seriousness and number of
serious assaults and street rob-
beries,” Const. Deboski says.
He says there has also been
a steady increase in weapons
incidents. “Not only are we
seeing a lot more weapons, but
we’re hearing about a lot more
weapons from the kids who are
victimized... Everybody’s got a
knife.”
Several shootings over the
past year in the region have
been linked to suspected gang
members from Toronto.
Gang members range in age
from 14 to 25. Gangs typically
name themselves after the
street they live on, or their
neighbourhood or section of
town and initiate new members
by making them commit a
crime.
Identifying and monitoring
the activities of street gangs is a
difficult task.
“They are not entrenched or-
ganizations, like a motorcycle
gang that has its own formal
structure and own constitu-
tion,” Const. Deboski says.
Thrill-based gangs are
“loosely associated” and often
by the time police have identi-
fied a group it no longer exists,
he says. Members tend to grow
up, move on.
“Sometimes it’s as simple as
a few guys getting together for
an event, and staying together
for a short period of time, until
the thrill subsides,” he says.
The origins of modern day
street gangs go back to the late
1960s, when two rival groups
calling themselves Bloods and
Crips formed in California,
eventually spreading to other
major U.S. cities and in more
recent years Toronto.
Some gangs may sport the
colours and claim association
with Toronto Crips and Bloods,
however, “Our intelligence
tells us otherwise,” Sgt. Town-
ley says.
Other youths are drawn to
the gang image and wear red or
blue bandannas as a “fashion
statement,” Const. Deboski
says. Other gang members call
them posers or wannabes.
Police say there are two
loosely organized thrill-based
gangs in Ajax and Pickering,
although there are other small-
er groups with less structure.
“We’ve got groups of youths
causing havoc in Ajax and
Pickering. They are becoming
more violent and more brazen
and greater in number,” Sgt.
Townley says.
“But as far as organized
gangs... we have a lot of
‘wannabees’. We’re dealing
with thrill-seeking youths. The
vast majority of the muggings
are groups of kids seeking
thrills. They’ve got too much
time on their hands.”
A seven-week street gang
task force dubbed ‘Operation
Eradicate’ was carried out in
the spring targeting groups in
Ajax and Pickering in response
to the sudden increase in street
robberies and swarmings.
During the project police
made 51 arrests and laid 125
charges ranging from assault,
drug dealing, robbery and
breach of court orders.
The investigation primarily
focused on the Parkway Boys,
the main street gang in Picker-
ing whose activities have since
been curtailed.
Several members of the
Ajax-based gang called King
Pins were also arrested as a re-
sult of investigation into a se-
ries of violent unprovoked at-
tacks.
The operation also served as
an intelligence-gathering tool
to identify individual crimi-
nals, some with gang associa-
tions, says Sgt. Townley, who
also headed up the first Opera-
tion Eradicate.
“It confirmed a lot of our
suspicions,” says the veteran
officer.
Last week, in the first cou-
ple of nights of Eradicate 2, of-
ficers arrested three suspected
King Pins and a fourth teenag-
er, believed to be a member of
a group called AK Ajax Chaos,
charging them with various of-
fences including drug posses-
sion, robbery, possession of
stolen property, break and
enter, assault and breach of
court orders. The four are be-
tween the ages of 15 and 18
years.
Police say they are working
closely with school officials
and community groups to deal
with the problem.
Some Durham public
schools located in communi-
ties where bandannas are per-
ceived as a gang symbol have
banned students from wearing
them.
Whitby school board super-
intendent Don McLean, re-
sponsible for safety and securi-
ty, said the dress code policy
allows individual school ad-
ministrations to ban gang-relat-
ed clothing based on individual
community concerns.
“I believe there have been a
few incidents, maybe two or
three or four, where bandannas
have been banned... It’s not
been a huge problem,” he said.
He said school officials
have noticed “growing evi-
dence” of gangs but the prob-
lems in Durham Region pale in
comparison to other parts of
the GTA. He does not agree
with the school of thought in
police circles that a lack of ex-
tracurricular activities for stu-
dents the past three years has
played a factor in the rise in
street gangs. “I have not seen
any evidence” of a link, he
said.
A perceived increase in
youth violence - the force does
not keep youth crime statistics
- has prompted police to devote
19 new officers to school liai-
son positions and divisional
Community Resource Units
(CRU) as part of a new region-
al youth strategy, says Deputy
Chief of Operations Rod
Piukkala.
The force is also reviewing
its street crime units, made up
of individual officers assigned
to each division and consider-
ing a new centralized squad.
Durham police focus on
reeling in teenage hoodlums
• A sudden obsession with wearing a particular colour of
clothing.
• Peculiar drawings or writing found on school books.
• Unexplained amounts of cash, jewellery or property.
• Withdrawal from family activities and change in attitude
and demeanour.
• Secretive about friends and plans when going out.
• Unexplained injuries or bruises and lying when asked
about them.
• Parents should keep track of their teenagers where-
abouts during the evening hours and know with whom they
associate.

DURHAM —When a child
is missing, precious minutes
count and the difference of an
hour out in the elements or on the
street can be fatal.
It was a lesson learned by
Durham Regional Police Ser-
vices in the early 1990s when it
experienced a rash of missing
persons, relates Shane Harbin-
son. But, he adds, it is impossible
for a police force to have a con-
tingent of officers at the ready to
address the manpower needs of
an emergency search. So for four
years, from 1991 to 1995, Mr.
Harbinson, in conjunction with
Durham Police, planned and de-
veloped OVERT (Ontario Volun-
teer Emergency Response Team)
Search and Rescue. He estab-
lished a Durham-based volunteer
group of men and women ready
to answer the call when a person
goes missing and the clock is
ticking.
“In order to have a reasonable
chance of success we need at
least 40 people,” out searching at
any given time, says Mr. Harbin-
son, who adds OVERT, which
became operational in 1996,
needs to have a presence at the
search area for at least 36 to 48
hours, while allowing volunteers
to take breaks after a 12-hour
shift. That’s something OVERT
cannot effectively do with its cur-
rent volunteer contingent. This
year, the organization is looking
to add more recruits to allow it to
fulfil its important mandate.
“We’re looking to increase
our contingent by about a third,”
he says, noting the agency cur-
rently deals with about 160 vol-
unteers a year. Last year, those
volunteers dedicated about
20,000 hours to searches.
Since becoming operational,
Mr. Harbinson estimates it has
conducted search and rescue op-
erations for 80 to 100 missing
persons, including children,
Alzheimer’s patients, people be-
lieved to be suicidal, those with
mental disabilities and people
who were victims of foul play.
“You look at any of these in-
dividuals and they are all very
much at risk with a very low sur-
vival rate beyond six hours,” re-
lates Mr. Harbinson. Which is
why timeliness and scope of the
search is so important. In regions
that do not have a group like
OVERT ready to take charge of
the rescue effort, Mr. Harbinson
says, by the time a large-scale
search is organized it is usually a
body recovery mission.
“A lot of our people are on a
pager-system,” he explains.
“When the pager goes off they
leave work” and within an hour
or two they are at the search site
and fully briefed. “We are a self-
sustained search operation. We
bring everything to the scene re-
quired; a canine unit, mountain
bike unit, medics, road supervi-
sors, communication system and
dispatch radios,” as well as two
trailers that serve as a communi-
cations post and an operations
centre. There are people alive
today who are only here because
of the timeliness in which
OVERT is equipped to respond,
says Mr. Harbinson.
Now, as the agency looks to
take this service to the next level,
OVERT is conducting a different
kind of wide-scale search, for
suitable volunteers.
“We expect a heck of a lot out
of our volunteers. We look for
people who are going to be dedi-
cated and professional, who
don’t have a lot of time taken up
already with other commitments.
We need to have flexible people,”
he says, adding they have to be a
personality-type that “can fall
into a para-military agency.”
Recruits must be willing to
spend about 50 hours each year
in training, in addition to time
spent searching. They must be
willing to drive to search areas
within Durham Region and some
will go as far as Cobourg, Lind-
say, Port Hope and even other
parts of Ontario. All volunteers
must be 20 years of age, have a
Grade 12 or equivalent educa-
tion, no criminal record, be phys-
ically fit and have standard first
aid and Level C CPR.
An information session will
be held Thursday, Sept. 13 at the
Garnet Rickard Recreation
Arena, 2440 King St. W. in Bow-
manville from 7 to 9 p.m.

Proud members of
It is two years before an Ontario
election, but the Liberals, who lead
in the polls, have already started
emphasizing one of their main
themes: that the rival New Democ-
ratic Party does not matter.
Bob Hunter, an environmental
activist who had been considered a
New Democrat, said he is running
for the Liberals in a Toronto by-
election Sept. 20 because he wants
to get rid of Premier Mike Harris
and his Progressive Conservatives
and the ecological damage their
policies have caused.
Mr. Hunter said being in gov-
ernment is the best way to bring
about change and “the Liberal
Party has the best chance of defeat-
ing the Tories in the next election.”
Greg Sorbara, who won a seat
from the Tories in a byelection,
made the point stronger when he
scoffed the NDP candidate, a re-
spected municipal politician, is
“running for a party that is on the
skids and has nothing to say to the
people of Ontario”.
Dwight Duncan, the Liberal
house leader in the legislature,
spread the message further by say-
ing the NDP is “irrelevant in On-
tario politics today”. He was dis-
missing an NDP claim that a
process the Tories and Liberals set
up that got them a 25-per cent pay
raise was unfair to others who have
to manage on a fraction of their
pay.
The Liberals are recognizing
they have two major tasks in the
election due in 2003, the most im-
portant being to come up with poli-
cies covering all areas that will ap-
peal to voters turned off by Mr.
Harris.
They have to be aware their 52
per cent in recent polls, compared
to only 34 per cent for the Conser-
vatives, reflects more dissatisfac-
tion with Mr. Harris than anything
the Liberals have done themselves.
The Liberals second major task
is to convince voters that to turn
out Mr. Harris, who still has some
strong passions for him as well as
against, they should form up be-
hind a single party.
Their goal is to make clear
theirs is the only party that can de-
feat him; that the NDP has no
chance and a vote for it would be
wasted.
This is getting easier to argue
statistically because the New De-
mocrats won only l2 per cent of
votes in the 1999 general election
and only nine seats. It has since
dropped to eight seats with the res-
ignation of Frances Lankin, which
caused this latest byelection.
The most recent poll still gave
the NDP around 12 per cent, but in
three more practical tests in recent
byelections, they won an incredi-
bly low seven, three and two per
cent of the votes and in two, did
worse than fringe candidates with
no party machinery behind them.
They obtained less support than
they used to even when the ‘red
scare’ was raised against them in
the 1940s.
The Liberals, led by Dalton
McGuinty, started saying theirs
was the only party that could de-
feat Mr. Harris, and a vote for the
NDP was wasted, in the 1999 elec-
tion and pried away some who had
been NDP supporters.
But the Liberal appeal came
late and was not as effective as it
might have been and they are now
trying to make sure any who stuck
with the NDP are well aware of it.
The NDP has had more produc-
tive days, but it still is unfair to
claim it has nothing to say to On-
tarians and at times it says things
some voters will think valuable.
In the recent unprecedented
heat wave, for instance, NDP
leader Howard Hampton put out a
news release urging the Harris
government make sure employees
were not forced to work in high
temperatures that could endanger
their health.
Mr. Hampton said some work-
ers may be afraid to tell their em-
ployers they are concerned and
suggested provincial inspectors
should drop in on companies unan-
nounced and make spot checks.
A few hours later the Province
rushed out its own warning to
companies to avoid putting em-
ployees under heat stress, but
meanwhile one bakery worker had
died of suspected heat stroke.
Not many people will vote for a
party solely because it opposed
giving MPPs a pay raise of 25 per
cent, because many other issues af-
fect them more significantly.
But it is easy to show that when
the Tories and Liberals appointed a
former $200,000-a-year judge,
who now collects extra retirement
pay as integrity commissioner, to
decide how much MPPs should be
paid, they chose someone whose
circumstances would be sympa-
thetic to assuring those at the top in
public life are highly paid, and
some may feel the NDP is showing
good reasons they should keep the
party around.
Liberals want NDP to disappear
McGuinty figures party’s chances better against Tories in two-horse race

Re: ‘Bright lighthouses, big city?’
Aug. 17.
Although we appreciate the re-
cent efforts by the City of Picker-
ing and other agencies to improve
the City’s waterfront, making it
more accessible and esthetically
attractive, we do question the pos-
sible expenditure of “roughly”
$1.4 million in public money on
two lighthouses at Frenchman’s
Bay, adjoined by a suspension
bridge. Pickering Regional coun-
cillors Mark Holland and Maurice
Brenner say the idea emerged dur-
ing a recent trip the two took to
Venice to promote the Pickering
waterfront.
It seems to us the City of Pick-
ering at this time is facing other
more important issues. First of all,
downloading by the provincial
government has increased budget
stress on Ontario municipalities.
Second, recent re-evaluations of
property values have increased
property taxes, which affects each
homeowner and renter. Finally,
the so-called surpluses at both the
provincial and federal levels are
slowly disappearing with the cur-
rent and projected downturn in the
overall economy, thus affecting
the local area as well.
Although it would be nice to
have a couple of lighthouses and a
suspension bridge at the bay’s en-
trance, we strongly feel that at this
time responsible use of the public
purse would be better directed to
such issues as affordable low-in-
come housing, social programs
for those at the fringes of society,
suitable facilities for seniors, up-
grading of infrastructure, and
other projects that will benefit cit-
izens of Pickering where the
needs are greatest.
We make these comments as
well in the context of recent dis-
cussion of possible increases to
Regional councillors’ wages and
the questionable expenditure of
using public money to support
two councillors at the Venice con-
ference.

Re: ‘Gay lesbian issues part of

Aug. 31.
Mary Pope wants us to re-
spect each and every individual.
Great.
Where she lost me was when
she thought we should show this
by adopting a curriculum that
“reflects and values” alternative
lifestyles like homosexuality.
How is this respecting parents
who don’t share these values?
As long as we’re in the public
system, we need to be sensitive
to every family’s beliefs, not just
those who think like we do. Ho-
mosexuality is a sensitive moral
issue.
It ought to be treated like one
and left to the family, not
usurped by the school board.

August brought with it the usual hot air between the
Province and teachers.
But it would seem the anger has mostly blown over
and the good news is, it appears anyway, we finally have
a legitimate, fireworks-free start to a school year.
Maybe after six years of war, teachers and politicians
have finally had enough.
Sure, there’s still a skirmish between the two over
teaching training and testing but that would appear to be
a fight that will not involve students and parents. If teach-
ers and the Province can keep this one to themselves, that
suits us just fine.
For the first time in years, it would seem there’s a
good chance of extracurriculars returning in some way,
shape or form to secondary schools.
The final decision on what will be offered in local
high schools will be made tomorrow at Sinclair Sec-
ondary School.
Bill Todd, who headed up the Lake Ontario Secondary
Schools Athletics group before it closed up shop in June
2000, said “I’ve heard through the rumour mill things are
looking better.
“People are tending to think more about coaching
(though) it’s not a fait accompli. You might not get every-
one back.”
Still, anything would be a big improvement over what
has gone on in Durham these past three school years.
Students entering Grade 12 this year faced the unbeliev-
able prospect of going through secondary school without
ever taking part in extracurriculars, a real shame. Now,
there’s hope for the future and a real desire to reinstate
after-school activities again.
On other fronts, it appears all will be normal. Strike
talk is not a major part of the picture for a change, most
of the bickering surrounding teaching time has been re-
solved and teachers and students are free to do what they
do best.
With students out and about early in the morning and
in mid-afternoon it’s also time to remind drivers to be
extra careful on our streets.
Take it easy as you head to work and make sure you’re
alert to speed limits and extra cautious around school
zones. Remember, 40 km/h doesn’t mean 50 or 55 km/h.
School zones have lower speed limits for a very good
reason.
Be vigilant when making turns, when changing lanes,
when coming up behind or facing school buses. Obey the
rules — our students’ lives depend on it.
All we are saying is
give peace a chance
For first time in years, students
and teachers return to school free
of past hassles and protests

BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Local school
boards will have a larger pool of re-
tired teachers to utilize this school
year after the Ontario Teachers’ Fed-
eration negotiated changes to the ed-
ucators’ pension plan, administered
by the Ontario Teachers’ Pension
Plan Board.
Previously, retired teachers could
only teach 95 days per year for three
years and 20 days per year after that
without affecting their pension bene-
fits. The change, to take effect next
month, means a retired educator can
teach for 95 days per year until Aug.
31, 2006 without affecting their pen-
sion benefits, even if they have al-
ready taught while retired.
The negotiations took place be-
tween government and teacher repre-
sentatives on the pension partners
committee that directs the pension
plan board, explained OTF
spokesman Kathleen Devlin.
Boards have had to rely increas-
ingly on retired and uncertified
teachers as more full-time positions
opened up than in past years, thus re-
ducing the number of available sup-
ply teachers.
An OTF news release stated the
federation “hopes that these changes
will help relieve the shortage of occa-
sional teachers in Ontario, and ensure
qualified teachers in every class-
room”.
“I think it’s fantastic news,” said
John Vesters, human resources super-
intendent at the Durham Catholic
District School Board.
He said a number of the board’s
retired teachers had written letters to
the pension board and the education
minister, stating they were an under-
utilized resource during this supply
teacher shortage.
Mr. Vesters said retired teachers
have many years of teaching experi-
ence under their belt and their exper-
tise is missed when they leave the
system.
“When that kind of experience
walks out the door, you lose a lot,” he
said.
Mr. Vesters also welcomed anoth-
er pension plan change where the cal-
culation of the 95 days will now start
after a teacher retires. Currently,
when a teacher retires in the middle
of the year, the days taught during
that year count toward the 95 days,
he explained.
“This is another good twist for
us,” he said.
He did not know how many more
teachers would be eligible to teach
during the year.
Craig Burch, employee relations’
superintendent at the Durham Dis-
trict School Board, also did not have
a number. But, he estimates the move
will at least double the board’s pool
of retired teachers.
“That’s good news for us,” he said.
“Often people drop off the list after
their (three years of) 95 days are up.”

In June, residents in Pickering sent
1,844 metric tonnes and Ajacians sent
1,770 trash to landfill. That’s great
news as figures are down from May.
Summer holidays don’t really apply
for June, so it could be promising that
we are starting to reduce waste. In fact,
Sue Campbell of Durham Region re-
ported that overall, Durham garbage is
down three per cent of its garbage and
up 8.2 per cent with its recycling in
June.
GREEN TIP: Have a separate blue
box or use a hamper to set out all your
paper, including junk mail, envelopes,

avoid paper from blowing away. With
the exception of waxed, carbon, or
pulp egg cartons — if it’s paper, it’s re-
cyclable.

Three exhibition games
will likely settle 20-man roster
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING — Three upcoming exhibition
games will ultimately decide who stays on the
Pickering Boyer Pontiac Panthers roster and who
goes.
The OHA Ontario Provincial Junior ‘A’ Hock-
ey League club, said new head coach Bill Purcell,
will make its final cuts after the games this week.
The Panthers play Wednesday night at the Picker-
ing Recreation Complex against the Port Hope
Predators at 7:30 p.m. The next night Pickering is
in Ajax to face the Axemen at 7 p.m., before a busy
week ends Saturday when the Panthers are in Port
Hope for an exhibition game at the Jack Burger
Sports Complex at 7 p.m.
Purcell said he will carry no more than 20 play-
ers into the regular-season campaign, which
means he’ll have to trim five more skaters from his
current training camp roster. He wants a small ros-
ter as he feels too many players languished in the
stands last season.
“I want to get away from having five players sit
up in the stands,” he said. “I think it’s easier on the
players” to have a smaller number not dress for the
games.
The Panthers are currently 1-1 in the exhibition
campaign and, so far, Purcell is pleased with the
progress his young team is making.
“We have a lot of kids who come to play. I’m
very pleased with what I see, but we have a lot of
work to do,” he said.
The Panthers evened their record after
posting a 5-3 win over the Axemen at the
complex last Wednesday. Rookie forward
Brock Brookwater scored twice for Pick-
ering, while single markers went to Garnet
Mitchell, Garret Winder and Brett Con-
nolly.
If there’s a question mark for the Pan-
thers as they head toward the regular sea-
son, it’s goal scoring. With only forwards
Brent Chandler and Winder returning
from last year, the Pickering squad could
have offensive troubles this season.
Three players from last season — Matt
Christie, Matt Garisto and Dan Schofield
— won’t be back with the Panthers.
Christie, the league’s South Conference
rookie of the year and Pickering’s top
scorer last season, has opted to play with
the Wexford Raiders this season. Mean-
while, Schofield has signed on with the
Nepean Raiders of the Eastern Ontario Ju-
nior Hockey League while also attending
college in the Ottawa Valley. Garisto has
decided to retire from hockey.
To that end, Panthers’ general manager
Cliff Long hints the trade route might
come into play sooner rather than later to

The Panthers evened their record after posting a
5-3 win over the Axemen at the complex last
Wednesday. Rookie forward Brock Brookwater
scored twice for Pickering, while single markers
went to Garnet Mitchell, Garret Winder and Brett
Connolly.
If there’s a question mark for the Panthers as
they head toward the regular season, it’s goal scor-
ing. With only forwards Brent Chandler and
Winder returning from last year, the Pickering
squad could have offensive troubles this season.
Three players from last season — Matt
Christie, Matt Garisto and Dan Schofield — won’t
be back with the Panthers. Christie, the league’s
South Conference rookie of the year and Picker-
ing’s top scorer last season, has opted to play with
the Wexford Raiders this season. Meanwhile,
Schofield has
signed on with
the Nepean

Eastern Ontario
Junior Hockey
League while
also attending
college in the Ot-
tawa Valley.
Garisto has de-
cided to retire
from hockey.
To that end,
Panthers’ gener-
al manager Cliff
Long hints the
trade route might
come into play
sooner rather
than later to ad-
dress the appar-
ent lack of goal-
scoring depth.
“If we can
make a few deals
here and there
we should be
fine. We know
we’re going to
be fine on de-
fence and in
goal. We’re
going to get on
the lookout for
some scoring,”
said Long.

final exhibition
contest is against

gionaires at the

els to the Pickering Recreation Complex for a 7:30

Golf woes may be your mood, not your mechanics
BY REBECCA DENGLER AND MARK
KAUFKI
Golf for Women magazine
“I always hit it into the water from
here.’’
“You topped it again, you idiot!’’
“I can’t believe I had an 8 on that
hole again.’’
Do any of these rants sound famil-
iar? Maybe your golf game’s been
emotionally hijacked. Yes, you’ve
spent time and money on good clubs
and golf lessons. You’ve worked on
your swing, but something’s prevent-
ing you from playing up to your skill
level.
Consider this: Have you worked
on your emotional game?
Negative self-talk, like the exam-
ples above, may be keeping you from
achieving your best golf. Take, for ex-
ample, some of the top players whose
golf skills are unquestionable but
who’ve found themselves playing
poorly at important times. Who can
forget the spectacle of Jean Van de
Velde on the 18th hole of the 1999
British Open? Or Meg Mallon all but
handing Karrie Webb her victory at
the 2000 Women’s Open? Did they
fail to play smart or to visualize their
shots? Probably not. It’s more likely
that negative emotions took over their
game.
In his best-selling book, “Emo-
tional Intelligence’’(Bantam, 1997),
Daniel Goleman dis-
cusses the notion of
“emotional hijack-
ing’’and empha-
sizes that our be-
havior is as much
controlled by our
emotions as by
our thinking. Re-
peating past mis-
takes on a hole
or missing the
easy chip shot you’ve spent
hours practicing are two examples of
what can happen when emotions con-
trol your game.
Emotional hijacking works
through our memories. For instance,
when you slice a drive on the 9th hole
at your home course, you’ll remember
not only the shot but also the feelings
associated with it. It may not always
be a conscious process or something
you’re immediately aware of. It’s
when you play that hole again that the
memory of the event (the slice) and
the emotions attached to it (anger, em-
barrassment) come back, and the like-
lihood of hitting a bad shot again is
high. This process is called anchoring.
The stronger your negative reac-
tion, the more likely you are to hit a
poor shot when faced with the same
situation. Of course, anchoring can be
positive — you can recall the joy you
felt when your tee shot hit the green
on a par-3. However, most people ex-
perience negative emotions more
strongly than positive ones, so they
anchor more bad shots.
What can you do to overcome the
golfing blues? Here’s a three-step so-
lution.
1.Become aware of your emo-
tions. How often do you curse or call
yourself a name, under your breath or
in your mind? Do you ever slam your
club into the ground? Do you engage
in negative talk with your friends? If
you find yourself guilty as charged,
try this alternative if you hit a shot you
don’t like: Say, “That’s interesting.’’
Then, in your mind, quickly replay a
swing that felt great and experience
the joy of it again.
2.Start positive anchoring. When
you hit a shot well, stop and let the
good thoughts ring through your
mind and body. Reinforce the positive
anchor with a cue. Tiger Woods holds
his fist in the air, for example. If that’s
not your style, try a more subtle ges-
ture such as tapping your thigh or
smiling. Do it consistently after every
good shot.
3.Create positive feelings and out-
comes prior to shots. If you anticipate
a bad shot, don’t swing. Use your
imagination to re-create a good shot
you had in a similar situation, and
swing only when you feel positive.
If you use these three tactics con-
sistently, soon your mind and body
will start remembering more of your
good shots and you’ll start playing up
to your skill level. More important,
golf will become fun for you again.

All week during the 101st U.S. Ama-
teur at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta,
Manuel Merizalde and Camilo Villegas
wore their orange shirts. It had nothing
to do with their school colors, even
though Villegas is a sophomore at the
University of Florida, which sports or-
ange as one of its colors.
No, this was a statement for country.
Both Villegas and Merizalde, a senior at
Brigham Young University in Provo,
Utah, are from Colombia, and the shirts
were from the Colombian Federation.
Each had two shirts so, as Merizalde
said, “We were able to wash
one, then wear the
other.”
They wore
them with
pride and did their country well during
the week. Not only were they the first
Colombians to make match play at the
U.S. Amateur, Merizalde advanced to
the semifinals, where he lost 2 and 1 to
Robert Hamilton, and Villegas made it
to the Sweet 16 before los-
ing 2 and 1 to his Florida
teammate and eventual
champion Bubba Dickerson.
And, in loyal countryman
pride,Villegas caddied for
Merizalde in the quarterfi-
nals and semifinals, still
wearing his orange shirt un-
der his caddie bib.
“He was of great help to
me out there,” Merizalde
said of Villegas after win-
ning 6 and 5 over Japan’s
Taichiro Kiyota in the
quarterfinals. “He kept me re-
laxed, and all the choices I made
I guess he approved them all.”
Victory at the U.S. Amateur
didn’t happen for Merizalde, but
if it had, he knew it would be one
that he would share.
“If I would win,” he said, “I
would see it as a win for me in some
ways, but also I see it kind of like a
team (he and Villegas) and would
definitely be for the country.”
While his parents were not able to
be in Atlanta, Merizalde made sure
he called home as soon as each of
his matches ended.
“When I talk to my mom she
says I’m the doctor and the
guys I’m playing, they’re my
patients and I’m taking care
of them,” Merizalde said
after winning his first
three matches. “I
thought that was pret-
ty funny. She really
cheers me up.”
Like each of
the semifinal-
ists, Merizalde
was seeking at
least one more
victory that
would get him
into the finals
and earn an invitation into the Masters
in April. His dream came up just short
when he lost to Hamilton.
“The tournament I have always
thought of the most and the one that I’ve
always wanted to win is the Masters.
That’s my dream,” Mer-
izalde said. “It hurts to think
I came so close. But I think
when I see the guys (final-
ists Dickerson and Hamil-
ton) on TV (at the Masters),
that probably is when it will
hurt the most. It would have
been so great to play there
and represent Colombia at
such a tournament.”
And, while there were
many miles in between,
Merizalde’s success was
well documented and re-
ceived in Colombia.
“I think the response back home has
been great,” he said. “When I pick up
my cell phone I have like 21 unplayed
messages. People are calling to wish me
well, so it’s fun to go through them. I
wanted to do this (win the champi-
onship) for my country, really. For me
too, but definitely I just want to have
everybody proud of a Colombian play-
er.”
The people of Colombia should be
very proud of both Merizalde and Ville-
gas for their efforts at this year’s U.S.
Amateur. And, if these two, along with
Camilo Benedetti, an All-American se-
nior at Florida, keep their amateur status
through next year, Colombia could
have something to really get excited
about if the three were part of a four-
man Colombian squad for the World
Amateur Team Championship.
“I would really like to see the three
of us there (in Malaysia for the 2002
WATC),” Merizalde said. “I think
Colombia could do very well.”
No longer would anyone doubt that,
not after what this trio has shown they
could do playing college golf in the
United States, and certainly not after
what Merizalde and Villegas did at At-
lanta.
They did, in fact, make their country
proud.
