Holocaust resources ‘touch’ trustees DURHAM —Public school board trustees at last week’s standing committee meeting praised a Holocaust video and ac- companying teacher resource guide that local educators and a student wrote. Teachers Lynn Ibsen and Lisa Wick, both from Exeter High School in Ajax, along with educator Garrett Metcalf of Henry Street High School in Whitby, Bellwood Public School (Whitby) teacher Bruce Williamson, and O’Neill Col- legiate and Vocational Institute (Oshawa) student Jon Thompson wrote the guide. Toronto-based writer-producer Tony Sheer created the ‘Family Album’ video. Lewis Williams, the board’s race relations officer, told trustees the team’s challenge was to “take a very interesting video and convert it into something teachers can use to engage their students”. “This document touched my heart,” said Ajax Wards 3 and 4 Trustee Melinda Crawford.

The Ajax resident was nine blocks north of the World Trade Center last Tuesday morning when two planes slammed into the twin towers just minutes apart. Mr. Marquardt was in New York working on at a commu- nications contract for Bell Canada when the incident happened. He heard the first explosion, originally thinking it might have been a blown transformer. When he saw the look on people’s faces, he knew it was something much worse. “People had a look of hor- ror on their faces. Their hands were over their mouths. I went outside. I heard a bang and thought a transformer blew. I’ve heard that before,” he said. “I went outside and I saw the gaping hole in the World Trade Center. I went back in- side and got my camera. The crowd I was with thought a plane had gone off course.” After the second plane slammed into the centre, peo- ple “knew something was planned. “I thought it was a bomb because I was on the opposite side of the building. I froze. I watched as both towers came down.” As the towers collapsed, he remembers it not being very loud. “Surprisingly, no. It was muffled, like snapping a chicken bone. You could hear a bit of a roar,” he said. He said being north of the site with the wind blowing south probably kept the sound down. Also, because of the wind, not much dust came his way. As for New Yorkers, “they seemed to know something was up. There was defiance because they knew it was a terrorist act. They were all sticking together, trying to calm each other down,” Mr. Marquardt said. “Where I was, the FBI told everyone to leave because there were gas lines underneath and there might be more explosions.” Officials at the communi- cations centre were concerned because there were diesel generators and they were wor- ried about filters being clogged. With the roadblocks, he couldn’t get too close to the site. Two days after the crash, he got “closer to the devasta- tion. I was able to see it with my own eyes. It was incredi- ble. You think it’s a movie, but I knew it wasn’t a movie.” New York is generally one of the loudest cities, but in the days after the blast, “all I could hear were people’s air conditioners. One thing I did- n’t see were yellow taxis and yellow taxis are what you think about when you think of New York.” Also, fighter jets roared overhead patrolling the skies in the days that followed. Mr. Marquardt went to a second Bell Canada site in Manhattan where he spent the night. “The hotels were booked and there was no place to stay. I couldn’t get off the island anyway,” he said. “I was all alone. There were no other Canadians with me.” Of more immediate con- cern was getting in touch with his family, which took hours. “My family and friends knew I was in New York. They tried to call me and I tried to call them. My cell- phone wouldn’t work.” When he got to the second Bell centre, he was able to e- mail a manager in Denver, who contacted his family. His parents called his brother in Vancouver to let him know about the attack. “He couldn’t go to work until he heard from me. Mr. Marquardt drove home Saturday. It took him about 30 minutes to clear customs, as he was told by an FBI agent his licence plate was one number off of a car they were searching for.

He contacted family via a colleague in Den- ver hours after the attack. DAVID MARQUARDT ‘People had a look of horror on their faces’. MORE PHOTOS, NEWS UPDATES See page A3 Enrolment up, but there’s more space in Catholic schools Durham board finds relief from overcrowding BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham’s Catholic high school popula- tion was up more than 5.5 per cent on opening day. But unlike previous years, when the board struggled to deal with severe overcrowd- ing, new pupil places have im- proved the atmosphere this year for students, staff and parents. “To me it was almost a cri- sis-type situation and we’ve moved beyond the crisis,” Grant Andrews, education di- rector of the Durham Catholic District School Board, said in an interview. “We still have some overcrowding... but I would say it’s temporary in nature.” In a Sept. 10 report to the board, he said the addition of two new high schools, both of which opened this month for grades 9 to 11 students, at- tracted more pupils than ex- pected. Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax had 835 students on opening day, while All Saints Catholic Sec- ondary School in Whitby had 759. As those schools came on- line, much-needed relief came to existing high schools in Pickering, Ajax and Whitby. First-day enrolment at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering was down more than 300 to 1,598, dropped by almost 400 pupils at Archbishop Denis O’Con- nor Catholic High School in Ajax to 1,175, and fell by more than 500 to 1,397 stu- dents at Whitby’s Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School. Those numbers have changed slightly as the school year gets under way, but com- bined with additions to the board’s five other high schools, three of which are completed, there’s a lot more room in Durham’s Catholic secondary schools this year. Mr. Andrews said the board’s answer to accommo- dation pressures over the last few years was to increase the number of portables and reschedule the school day. Now portables are being re- moved and the “floating fifth period day”, in place at all high schools last year, is a thing of the past. “Over the summer we re- moved 39 portables off our high schools and there’s still some yet to be moved because in some cases construction is still going on,” he said. Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Martin said the change at Fa- ther Austin “is a very positive one”. Mr. Andrews the situation at the board’s high schools would further improve over the next two years. Next year the two new schools will open to Grade 12 pupils, taking fur- ther pressure off other facili- ties. And the year after that, Mr. Andrews said, the Province moves to a four-year high school program. Mr. Dressup dies following stroke Pickering resident Ernie Coombs was Canadian institution PICKERING —For a half-hour every weekday from 1967 until the show’s final ap- pearance on Valentine’s Day in 1996, Mr. Dressup came into Canadian homes, entertaining millions. Ernie Coombs, a longtime Pickering resident and the beloved children’s television host known to all Canadians as Mr. Dressup, died Tuesday from a stroke. Mr. Coombs was 73 years old and continued to make per- sonal appearances in character until his passing. Repeat episodes of the show continue to air. Born in Lewiston, Maine, Mr. Coombs came to Canada in 1963 and became a Canadian citizen in 1994. Later that year, he was present- ed The Academy of Canadian and Television’s Earle Grey Award, honouring excellence in Canadian television. He also became a member of the order of Canada in 1996.

Hadley inquest begins Oct. 22 Jury will examine events leading up to violent deaths of estranged Pickering couple BY STEPHEN SHAW Staff Writer DURHAM —A coroner’s inquest will begin next month probing the violent deaths of Ralph and Gillian Hadley in hopes of preventing similar tragedies in the future. Dr. James Young, Ontario’s chief coroner, announced Tuesday the inquest, sched- uled to start Monday, Oct. 22, will examine the Pickering couple’s turbulent relation- ship, their involvement with Durham Region police and courts and the events leading up to their deaths. Among the crucial ques- tions for the jury to answer: GILLIAN HADLEY Inquest into murder case to start in October. See INQUEST page A2 See MR. DRESSUP page A2 A/P PAGE A2 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 19, 2001 Local news online! Visit durhamregion.com Inquest into Hadley murder announced What more, if anything, could have been done to protect Mrs. Hadley, the 35-year-old mother of three, from the deadly wrath of her estranged hus- band, Ralph? It was a case that shocked this community and sparked immediate changes in the way police and courts here deal with domestic violence cases. Durham Regional Police ruled the deaths a case of murder-suicide, al- though the coroner’s jury will ulti- mately make a final determination. As witnesses watched in horror on the morning of June 20, 2000, a gun- toting Mr. Hadley chased a naked Mrs. Hadley from her Hillcrest Road home and dragged her back inside the residence. She first managed to pass their 11- month-old son Christopher to neighbours, who struggled in vain to wres- tle Mrs. Hadley from Mr. Hadley’s grasp. Once inside, he shot her to death, po- lice said at the time, and then turned the small-calibre handgun on him- self. At the time, the 34-year-old postal worker was out on bail and under a court order to have no communica- tion with his wife, who he was charged with assaulting on Jan. 31, 2000, as well as breaching a peace bond. Following his arrest he was re- leased on an officer’s undertaking with conditions not to communicate “directly or indirectly” with Mrs. Hadley. On Feb. 25, Durham Regional Po- lice charged him with criminal ha- rassment and two counts of breach- ing the non-association orders for re- peatedly contacting Mrs. Hadley. At his Feb. 28 bail hearing, Crown attorney Frank Giordano opposed Mr. Hadley’s release. Justice of the peace Brenna Brown granted him bail. Mr. Hadley was released on $5,000 bail with conditions that he stay away from Mrs. Hadley, remain at his parents’Scarborough residence at all times except for work; stay out of the City of Pickering and not use the telephone except for employment purposes, to call his parents or emer- gency. He was also barred from possess- ing a firearm. About 60 witnesses are scheduled to testify at the inquest, expected to last eight to 10 weeks. INQUEST from page A1 Ralph Hadley, seen on his wed- ding day, shot his estranged wife before turning the gun on himself. Mr. Dressup dies cial Save the Children Award in 1997. Through 29 years and 4,000 shows, Mr. Dres- sup developed into a Canadian cultural icon and parents and chil- dren alike valued his laid-back style. “If you’re re- strained, the kids will come to you,” he wrote in his 1997 book. “It’s easy to throw something at children and know that they’re going to watch it. But ultimately you’ve got to recognize that children deserve to get some value out of watching it.” Mr. Coombs’ wife Marlene was killed in a traffic accident in 1992. He is survived by his three children Christopher, Kenneth and Catherine Minott. — with files from Torstar News Service. MR.

What should I use to lubricate the antenna? ANSWER: The antenna mast on your car should be extended fully and cleaned with a mild solvent. The mast should be retracted and extended while cleaning, to dislodge any dirt particles that are trapped between the antenna sections. The mast should then be inspected for any damage or bends in the sections of the mast that are binding. Telltale rubbing marks or small scrapes on the mast sections will indicate where the sections are binding by interference. Small bends may be straightened by hand, saving the cost of replacement. Masts are available separately from the antenna motor for some vehicles, but some are integral and are sold as a complete replacement unit. The mast of the antenna should never be lubricated with any graphite based, dry spray lubricant. The graphite is conductive and will ruin the reception of the stereo. Most manufacturers do not recommend lubrication of the antenna mast. If you feel that lubrication is warranted, a silicone spray or ignition switch lubricant will work well. Engine oil or transmission fluid will lubricate well but will attract a large amount of dirt. Always remember to lower the power antenna before entering an automatic car wash!

Local man taps business contacts to raise $25,749 for cancer fight BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —Sunday’s Terry Fox Run could have been a disappoint- ment — fewer participants and less money raised than in 2000. It could have, but wasn’t, thanks to the $25,749 worth of reasons given by a Pickering man fighting cancer in more ways than one. Terry Arvisais, 51, a Pickering resi- dent for the last 19 years, was diag- nosed with colon cancer in 1998, but rather than it being the beginning of the end, it signified the beginning of his fight. Mr. Arvisais was off work for six or seven months as chemotherapy treat- ments helped push his cancer into re- mission and now he feels like one of the lucky ones. “I can’t say I’m out of the woods yet, not until it’s been five years, but this is my third year cancer-free,” he said in an interview Monday. “I still have a blood test every three months and a colonoscopy every year.” Mr. Arvisais said he feels lucky be- cause his cancer was diagnosed early enough to fight it and because he re- ceived great support from local hospi- tals and doctors. As a result, he decided to give something back. His latest fight began with a goal to raise more funds be- fore this year’s run than the total raised last year. A buyer for Wal-Mart, Mr. Arvisais said he started by ask- ing his employer if he could con- tact many of the vendors he deals with to ask for donations to the Terry Fox Foun- dation. He said Wal-Mart has a history of community and charity support and had no problem with the request. With the support of those vendors and Pickering residents, Mr. Arvisais handed over a cheque for $25,749 to run organizers on Sunday. “Many of my contacts knew my per- sonal circumstances and I found great support,” he said. “I couldn’t have done it without the help of a lot of good peo- ple.” Mr. Arvisais said almost everyone knows someone who has been touched by cancer personally. Sadly, his mother died last year from complications due to the disease and his father is still bat- tling the bladder cancer he was diag- nosed with in 1998. “The last few years have been rough,” he said. “I was just looking to pay back all the great support I received locally.” Last year’s run raised just shy of $22,000 and run organizer Sandra Arm- strong said Mr. Arvisais’ donation will push this year’s total up to over $40,000. As for next year, Ms. Armstrong is hoping Mr. Arvisais will be back. “They can count on me,” he said. “This year, next year, and every other year I’m available.” P PAGE A4 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 19, 2001 Pickering’s Terry fights for Fox’s legacy Please Recycle!

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 19, 2001 PAGE A5 A/P Visit us at durhamregion.com Durham search for new HQ not restricted to Whitby BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer DURHAM —Durham is going house hunting. The Region is issuing a request for proposals for a new 300,000-square- foot headquarters, at an estimated cost of $50 million. The project would amalgamate into one building regional service offices currently housed throughout Durham. The decision by Regional council followed recommendations from fi- nance commissioner Jim Clapp, who told councillors the Region would like- ly be better off owning than renting. “There are significant capital costs we are faced with, major capital im- provements in all the buildings” cur- rently leased, Mr. Clapp told council. In his report, the commissioner said there were also added costs associated with maintaining eight administrative facilities plus the existing headquar- ters, instead of one location. He sug- gested $3.9 million in annual leasing costs would be eliminated if a number of the regional services were consoli- dated into a single facility. That money could be used to pay debentures on a new owned facility, he said. The com- missioner estimated the Region would pay about $4 million a year in deben- ture costs on $50 million. The proposals may include contin- ued use of the current regional head- quarters at Rossland Road and Garden Street or may recommend demolition of the building. One question still to be answered is where the new headquarters will be lo- cated. That was thrown up for grabs after council approved a motion by Os- hawa Councillor Cathy Clarke to con- sider sites throughout the region, not just the current one. Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle ar- gued the Region already owns the land at the current site and that keeping the headquarters there would ensure the process wouldn’t “become a competi- tion between communities”. Clarington Mayor John Mutton countered, “We own the land but we might be sitting on an asset with a land value that is extremely high. Land val- ues in this location might be worth sell- ing and then looking somewhere else,” to build. He suggested a site in Cour- tice near the proposed international fu- sion research facility might be ideal. However, not everyone is happy with the shopping expedition, particu- larly some members of Oshawa coun- cil, including Mayor Nancy Diamond. “I’m concerned members of council think we’re just browsing, just window shopping,” said the mayor. “Admit if we approve this today we start down the slippery slope.” She noted York Region built a building of similar size to what’s rec- ommended just a few years ago. The original estimate for the facility was $47 million but in the end $86 million was spent, said the mayor, who com- pared this project to the Durham public school board’s main office on Taunton Road, dubbed ‘Taj Mahal’ by the pub- lic. “Ask people if they want roads, water or if they want us to build a mon- ument to ourselves. It would be a mon- ument to our mismanagement,” said Mayor Diamond. A forced amalgamation may change the Region’s capital needs, sug- gested Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. “Is part of this study to get any firm indi- cation from the Government of Ontario the Region of Durham will exist in 2021?” he asked. “I’m concerned about an expenditure of this extent when the (provincial) government is being arbitrary and capricious in its policies.” In the end, the majority agreed with Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt who said, “I agree the cost we pay for facil- ities is very important for taxpayers. That’s why I propose to look at a way to save them money.” As part of Mr. Clapp’s report, staff will conduct a more detailed ‘lease ver- sus buy’ analysis to ensure the finan- cial benefits do exist.

It’s been four years since the ‘A’-side reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station were idled. Millions of dollars in retrofits, upgrades and a criti- cal review of operation later, and officials at Ontario Power Generation are seeking approval to flip the switch and return the reactors to service. Not surprisingly, Sierra Club of Canada Nuclear Campaign officials in Durham have claimed the envi- ronmental assessment conducted in the interim was a “whitewash”. For their part, OPG officials have maintained all along the assessment was thorough and complete and il- lustrates their renewed commitment to safety and ac- countability here at home. The Sierra Club has an important voice, as it always has, in the community as it relates to the production of nuclear power in Pickering and Durham Region. Some of the club’s rhetoric, unfortunately, verges on the hys- teric and some of its demands are extreme. But it has also proven itself as a worthy adversary of OPG. Indeed, the Sierra Club chapter here (formerly Durham Nuclear Awareness) has provided a voice for thousands who live and work in the community and who have legitimate questions about living in the shad- ow of the plant. But OPG officials have demonstrated in recent years they are operating the nuclear plant with a new view to- wards safety, accountability and accessibility — some- thing the Sierra Club apparently will not concede. The company has used considerable resources and expertise in meeting its mandate to bring the plant up to new standards. And the arrogance of the past that characterized its conduct with local politicians and citizens of the com- munity, no longer exists. This is a company that has worked hard to remake its image not for the sake of remaking its image, but for the sake of its belief in nuclear power as a safe and long- term alternative to traditional forms of energy produc- tion. The views of the majority, certainly, would lie some- where between the Sierra Club’s doomsday position and the sunny skies belief held at OPG. As always, we bear individual responsibility for in- forming ourselves, learning about our corporate neigh- bour and drawing our own conclusions. Reactor restart truth is out there It lies somewhere between predictions of doomsday and sunny skies P PAGE A6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 19, 2001 Proud members of Ontario’s Progressive Conserva- tives have taken the unusual pre- caution of leaving Premier Mike Harris’s name off their signs in a byelection and it shows how far the mighty have fallen. Tory candidate Mac Penney, a veteran communications consultant who should know what attracts vot- ers, explained there was not enough room to put his name and the pre- mier’s on the same signs. It is to be hoped he has more convincing ex- planations when he tells his clients how he spends their money. Parties juggle around and use names and labels on election signs according to how much they think it can help them. The Tories used Mr. Harris’s name sparingly in his first election as leader in 1990 be- cause few would even have recog- nized it. At the start of the 1995 election, which Mr. Harris won, he was still little-known and when they used his name on signs it was mainly to distinguish his Ontario party from that of the retired but still much- disliked Conservative prime minis- ter, Brian Mulroney. Mr. Harris’s Tories, for the same reason, even avoided putting the label ‘Progres- sive Conservative‚’ on signs and called themselves ‘Ontario PCs.’ But in the 1999 election, after Mr. Harris had enthused many by his tax-cutting, their signs every- where identified candidates as part of ‘the Harris team’‚ or urged sim- ply ‘vote Harris’. More recently in an earlier by- election in June the Tories still used Mr. Harris’s name four times as big as their candidate’s on signs and billboards, but were unable to hold on to a riding that had been theirs. Some in the party clearly have now decided Mr. Harris’s name is no longer an asset. The Tories are low in polls, with only 35 per cent compared to 50 per cent for the Liberals. One poll has shown Mr. Harris running behind his party in popu- larity, which is unusual. Premiers, even when down, tend to have higher approval ratings than their parties, because many who object to policies feel some sympathy to- ward the personalities behind them. Another poll in the four most populous provinces — Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Al- berta — showed Mr. Harris as the only premier who evokes more negative than positive responses from his residents. Some of this is due to his ag- gressive personal style. He has been much more confrontational than recent predecessors as pre- mier, particularly in getting into shouting matches with teachers over changing the education sys- tem and unions in whittling down workers rights. Mr. Harris could rehabilitate himself before an election due in 2003, because he has strengths in- cluding the fact many still like him for his tax cuts and he can be relied on to do most of what he says. If he fails, it would be difficult for the Tories to distance them- selves from him, because in gener- al elections almost all the media at- tention inevitably is focused on leaders. Mr. Harris, also almost single- handedly among its elected mem- bers, resurrected his party from its lowest point in history in the late 1980s, when it struggled at around 20 per cent in the polls. Mr. Harris chose the backroom team that put together the Common Sense Revolution, the package of policies mainly for cutting govern- ment and taxes, and injected some of his own views into it, because he had long been a right-winger grum- bling about his party being too far to the left. He embodied it well in the 1995 election, not with dazzling oratory but with a clarity and decisiveness that led many to understand and be enthusiastic over it. Mr. Harris is well-known for running his party with a strong hand and a small group of faceless, unelected advisers and its policies are almost all his, rather than cau- cus’s. He also is the best-known pre- mier in Canada, according to the poll that showed he is least popular. His idiosyncrasies including his golf and frequent absences from the legislature are as much reported as many of his programs. His party is often called ‘the Harrisites’‚ by opponents and news media. A poll last month seeking to find out how the public rates six minis- ters seen as potential successors found all but one — Education Minister Janet Ecker, who also has been in a lot of rows — so little known most could not assess them. Mr. Harris to most people is the Conservative party — they are like Siamese twins and it will not be easy to separate them. Harris IS the Ontario Tory party Party will find it won’t be easy to separate these ‘Siamese twins’ Monday’s resumption of the House of Commons was dominated by one item, naturally, as Prime Minis- ter Jean Chretien spoke of our role in the coming ‘War on Terrorism’. Canadians — rightfully so — have many questions about Canada’s position in any worldwide alliance against terrorism. Our military, such as it is, will un- doubtedly be called upon. However, just a few days ago much-respected Ret. Maj.-Gen. Lewis MacKenzie said we have virtually nothing to offer the U.S. in the way of troops or material. So what can or should we do? More answers to these questions will come early next week when the prime minister goes to Washington to meet with President George W. Bush. Mr. Bush has clearly learned one vital lesson from his father: how to manage a successful op- eration in the Middle East, full of complications on all sides. The U.S. must first set up a firm multinational coali- tion. To that end, Mr. Bush is meeting with British Prime Minister Tony Blair and other allied leaders in the next few days to make sure all are onside. We must know exactly what it is we wish to accom- plish, how we will proceed and what each country can contribute to the cause. In the meantime, though we can always do better, it’s time to stop beating ourselves up over our immigration and security policies. The FBI has revealed there was no ‘Canadian con- nection’ involved with the 19 suicide terrorists who committed mayhem last Tuesday. Nearly all those who hijacked planes lived in the U.S. for years, taking flying lessons and living in American homes. We’re not above criticism of course, but the United States must clearly do a much better job of rooting out the enemy within. Editorial &OPINIONS PICKERING NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 19, 2001 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Let’s not paint everyone with the same brush To the editor: As an American living in Ajax, I would like to thank Canadians for their sincere outpouring of sympathy and offers of help for the American people during this tragic time. I believe I can speak for all Americans when I say the terrorists have united us as a peo- ple more than ever and I have great confidence in the future of the American nation. My concern at this time is not only for the victims of the attacks and their families, but it is also for the Muslim communities in both the U.S. and Canada. Un- doubtedly, this must be a most frightening and difficult time for them, as many rush to blame them. It is, of course, ridiculous to blame all Muslims for the actions of extremists. Perhaps we can all reach out and show a little extra kindness to them at this time. Last Saturday I called a mosque to show my concern for the Muslim community and the gentleman’s voice, which was apprehensive at first, turned to relief and then ap- preciation. Please let’s show tol- erance and avoid stereotyping. Susan Larson, Ajax Let’s protect our rights and freedoms To the editor, While watching the news last night about the horrible tragedy in the U.S., we were reminded about Canada’s idiotic extradition laws. Recently supported by a Supreme Court of Canada ruling, murderers can escape to Canada and not be extradited if they face the possibil- ity of the death penalty. The Supreme Court of Canada did cite extraordinary circum- stances where the ruling might not apply. Knowing these bleeding-heart liberal justices, who have already let murderers stay here, those re- sponsible for the hijackings and murders could enjoy a lifetime of comfort in our jails. Now is the time for our federal minister of justice, Anne McLel- lan, to stand up and say this is an extraordinary circumstance, be- fore any cases come to court. We already have one suspect in cus- tody relating to the terrorist at- tacks. Letting suspects sit in a Canadian jail at the taxpayers’ ex- pense is not my idea of ‘rights and freedoms’. As well, we don’t need a bunch of lawyers getting rich protecting these terrorists. If Ms. McLellan can’t say the words “extraordinary circum- stance”, then Prime Minister Jean Chretien must force her to step aside. Either way, we need the fed- eral government of Canada to show the world we are not a haven for terrorists and murderers.

He was 73. An American by birth, Mr. Coombs, who lived in Pick- ering, appeared in over 4,000 episodes of the ‘Mr. Dres- sup’show. Along with his puppet friends, Casey and Finnegan, and the Tickle Trunk — the source of his infinite costumes — he entertained children each weekday morning for an amazing 29 years. From 1967 until he decided to retire the show in 1996, Mr. Coombs would gently deliver his message of friend- ship and fun. Children were encouraged to use their imag- inations, as Mr. Coombs would transform himself into ‘Mr. Dressup’ in each episode. The native of Maine, who became a Canadian citizen in 1994, was still doing live ap- pearances as ‘Mr. Dressup’right up until the very end. His irreplaceable love for children will be sadly missed. 24 Hour Access 905-420-4660 cityofpickering.com905-420-2222 Current Rec Complex Members find out how to get a 1 Month Extension for FREE! 905-683-6582 Direct Access 24 Hrs A Day 905-420-4646 Direct Info OPERATIONS AND EMERGENCY SERVICES DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL OPENING HOME PLACE Date: Saturday 22nd, 2001 - 11:00 AM-4:00 PM Location: Alex Robertson Park, located south on Sandy Beach Road across from Kinsmen Park Come & take part in the celebration of our newest Pickering landmark sculpted by local artist Dorsey James.

Beginning at 8 a.m. at the City of Pickering’s Esplanade parking lot, another 250 Earth Machine composters will be on sale at the subsidized rate of $20 to residents of Pickering. As well, free com- post is offered to those who bring a shovel and con- tainers. So successful was Pickering’s May 26 sale that all the composters, plus all of Durham Region’s mound of free finished compost, were gone by 10:30 a.m. “Last spring, people lined up as early as 6 a.m.,” said Stephen Brake, the City of Pickering’s waste management co-ordinator and organizer of the reg- ular event. “As well, we sold 170 blue boxes.” The steady stream proved people not only rec- ognize the value of compost, but also indicated backyard composting is something a homeowner can do to help win the war on waste. Now is a perfect time to begin to compost. After you have found a suitable location in your yard to set up your unit, start by depositing a layer of leaves, twigs, or hedge trimmings. This will offer a good base and provide some airflow before you begin to add vegetable and fruit peelings. Continue to add handfuls of leaves on a regular basis as they, and other dry brown organic materials, will give your compost the carbon it needs. It is important you save a couple of bags of raked leaves, (I say rake over gas-powered leaf blowers as those ma- chines pollute more than cars) to add during the winter months. The green kitchen scraps give the pile nitrogen. It is the mixture of wet greens and dry browns that produces good compost. If you have a limited amount of leaves, rip up some corrugated card- board. Paper pulp egg cartons can go in as well. Occasionally add a bit of soil. Do not add meats or dairy products. Each composter will be accompa- nied with all the information you need. As the cycle of composting slows down during the colder months, your composter may be full by spring. However, during the first warm weeks, the volume will shrink to half and allow you to contin- ue adding materials all summer long.

Shelley-Anne Brown builds her track resume as she eyes 2004 Olympics BY AL RIVETT Sports Editor PICKERING —It’s been a short break from the rigours of track and field, but a long summer of ac- complishment for a Picker- ing athlete. “It really has been worth- while,” noted University of Nebraska Cornhuskers ju- nior Shelley-Anne Brown, who started back into train- ing Monday after a well-de- served three-week sojourn from her specialties — sprinting and hurdling. “Around the end of June my body was saying ‘Oh, we have to stop now’, but it was worth it.” The extended track and field season for Brown was worth it for several reasons, first and foremost being her stunning performance at the Canada Summer Games in London, Ont. last month. There, she climbed on the medal podium no less than four times. She was part of Ontario’s women’s 4-x-100-metre relay team that captured the gold medal, before earning more gold for Ontario in the 4-x-400m relay. The Dunbarton High School graduate also placed second in the 100m hurdles, finishing behind reigning Canadian champion Angela Whyte. Her other medal, a bronze, came in the 100m race. The 21-year-old said the Canada Summer Games holds a special place for her as it turned out to be an un- expectedly “amazing” expe- rience. “I didn’t know that the Canada Summer Games was that big of a deal, but it was amazing,” she said. “The atmosphere and the team spirit were absolutely great. It was also great to see and meet many of the athletes from all the provinces and territories.” Earlier in the summer, Brown competed at her first Canadian Senior Track and Field Championships in Ed- monton. There, she ran in both the 100m race and the 100m hurdles. In the hur- dles, she finished fourth in the nation, ahead of race favourite and fellow Picker- ing resident Perdita Feli- cien, who fell during the semifinals. Brown also fin- ished sixth in the 100m. The biological sciences major at the Lincoln, Ne- braska-based campus came off a fine season for the Cornhuskers women’s track and field team. She quali- fied for the Big 12 Confer- ence Indoor Champi- onships, hosted by Nebras- ka, in three events last Feb- ruary. She placed third in the 60m dash in a personal- best time of 7.39 seconds. She also helped the ‘Huskers to a bronze-medal finish in the 4-x-400m relay and placed fifth in the women’s 200m. She qualified for the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 Na- tional Indoor Champi- onships in Arkansas in the 60m dash, but didn’t make it to the medal podium. “At nationals, it didn’t go so well. I was a little bit awestruck, so I didn’t do as well as I hoped to do,” she said. With all the success she enjoyed last season for Ne- braska, she’s preparing for an even better 2002 cam- paign, which begins in Jan- uary with the indoor track and field campaign. “I’m hoping for a break- through year,” she said. “I hope to make it to nationals in indoor and outdoor this season.” If that weren’t enough, she has her eyes affixed on goals of representing Cana- da at the 2002 Common- wealth Games in Manches- ter, England July 25 to Aug. 4 and, down the road, repre- senting her homeland in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. “I’m hoping to be at that level in 2004. That’s what I’m aiming for, to run in Athens where it all began.” NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 19, 2001 PAGE B1 P Sports &LEISURE NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 19, 2001 JASON LIEBREGTS/ News Advertiser photo Stand and deliver PICKERING — Pickering pitcher Shawn Robertson concentrates on the plate as he gets set to deliver the pitch during action in the Picker- ing Softball Association Midget Boys’ Tournament.

PICKERING —A Pickering minor hockey team is hosting a fund-raising garage sale this Saturday. The Pickering Panthers ‘AA’ minor atom hockey team holds the garage sale at 1501 Ea- gleview Dr. (at Glenanna Road) this Saturday, Sept. 22 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information or for those wishing to donate items, call Darlene Ianiero at 905-509- 3834. All proceeds go toward defraying team costs this season. the early stages of the season. “It was a good effort for two periods. We let down in the second period,” said Purcell. “I’m very pleased with the way we played in the third period. We played good, defensive hockey and we got good goaltending from Scott Gray.” The Panthers led 2-0 until late in the second period when penalties led to two Vaughan power-play goals, one with Pickering playing 5- on-3, and the other coming while one man short. Oldfield, who has emerged as a top-flight sniper for the Panthers, scored the third period’s lone goal at the 7:53 mark. It was Oldfield’s fifth goal in the last three games. Paul McFarland and Chris Anderson scored the other Pickering goals. Assisting were Dan Schofield and Sean Bradley each with two, and Andre Darlow and Alex Pavloski with one apiece. Gray turned aside 19 shots to record the win. The Panthers suffered a heartbreaking 8-7 overtime loss to the Wexford Raiders in Scar- borough Sunday night. Wexford’s Jonathon Durno fired the winner just 57 seconds into extra time. While clearly disappointed not to get the win, Purcell said he’ll take the point. “We got a point out of it on their rink. Not too many teams are able to do that,” he said. The game represented the first time the Pan- thers took the ice against Matt Christie, the team’s leading scorer last year, who’s now in a Raiders uniform. Christie didn’t net the over- time winner, but nonetheless burned his former mates for two goals. The Panthers trailed 3-2 after 20 minutes and 6-4 after two periods before rallying to send it into overtime. Oldfield led the Pickering juniors with a hat trick. Jay Grant, Ander- son, veteran forward Garret Winder and Allan MacIsaac netted one goal apiece. Assist- ing were Kyle Aitken with three, Scott Mitchell and Anderson each with two, Alex Greig, Mike Alexiou, Kevin Day and Pavloski all with one. Wexford out- shot the Pan- thers 35-33. The Panthers opened the weekend on the road in Markham against the Waxers Friday night. After playing the hosts to a 4-4 tie after 40 min- utes, the wheels came off for the Panthers in the third. Markham scored three unanswered goals for a 7-4 win. Gray faced a 54-shot barrage. Pickering, meanwhile, fired 30 shots on the Markham net. Winder fired a natural hat trick to lead the Panthers, while Oldfield scored the other in the second period. Adding assists were Aitken with two, and Alex Greig, Brent Chandler, Darlow and Winder. The Panthers continue a hec- tic schedule this weekend. On Friday, they host the St. Michael’s Buzzers at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, Pick- ering travels to Mississauga for its game in the annual College Weekend event at the Iceland Arena.

NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, September 19, 2001 PAGE B3 A/P A rts &Entertainment NEWS ADVERTISER SEPTEMBER 19, 2001 Visit durhamregion.com Ajax man fights to preserve roots Book tells tale of ‘Geco’community’s contributions to wartime efforts BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor AJAX —An Ajax man has made it his personal mission to commemorate a part of Scarbor- ough that was crucial to the Sec- ond World War effort, yet now largely forgotten. To remember and perhaps pre- serve the area of post-war Scar- borough known as Geco, Warren Evans wrote ‘Goldfinches of Geco’, published in the U.S. by WriteRead Press, about growing up in the community of Geco (pronounced jee-co), bordered by Birchmount Road in the east, Warden Avenue in the west, Eglinton Avenue to the north and Comstock in the south. The community took root in 1946 as an emergency housing complex following the war and existed until 1954. Today, al- though some remnants of the past survive, the Geco name hasn’t withstood the rigours of time. Until now. “People don’t know about it, that it even existed,” said Mr. Evans, who vows to, at the very least, have some of the existing buildings designated as historical- ly significant by the City of Toronto. “I would like to not only rec- ognize the wartime plant, but the community of Geco. There’s nothing to show that Geco was ever there. They’ve erected histor- ical plaques for lesser reasons,” said Mr. Evans. During the war, the Geco area was a large munitions factory, numbering 177 buildings on 357 acres and owned by General En- gineering Company (GECO). The factory, with more than 6,000 em- ployees at its zenith, was linked with Ajax’s Defence Industries Limited (DIL), also a munitions factory where shells were filled. His debut book, explained Mr. Evans, is both a historical novel and part autobiographical love story, chronicling the lives of a young boy, Corky, and a young girl, Peggy, that intersect while growing up in Geco. “It’s a factual, non-fiction book based on a true story,” de- scribed Mr. Evans. “It’s a love story on the surface, but I wasn’t going to write something out of Harlequin. It was about a young girl I met at Geco in 1946.” But, most of all, the 66-year- old writer hopes the story will help to preserve the memory of the community of his youth. “I wanted to preserve the name of Geco, which is very quickly fading into oblivion. It’s a histori- cal site and that’s why I did it. It was not just a love story, but it told the story of a historically sig- nificant part of the city. That was the main reason for writing the book, but there’s a story in there, too.” The book, noted Mr. Evans, was labour intensive, taking more than five years of writing and re- search, with numerous trips to the Ontario archives in Toronto. De- spite the extensive research, the book was mostly a labour of love that has evoked a response from many people who either worked at Geco or lived in the area during its existence. “I’ve received several letters from people who worked at the plant and they’re thanking me for doing it,” said Mr. Evans. In addition to the book, Mr. Evans also penned a parallel trea- tise, ‘Salute to Scarboro, A Cana- dian Giant in World War II’which highlights Canada’s war effort, the building of Scarborough’s Geco factory, the people who worked there, the infrastructure that was part of the massive war effort complex and its demise in the summer of 1945. The treatise, says Mr. Evans, was written in the midst of writ- ing ‘Goldfinches of Geco’, and was intended to be the preface to the novel. The length of the trea- tise, however, prevented it from behind used in this manner. A one-time hobbyist in the written word, while earning a liv- ing both as a commercial renova- tor and an award-winning photog- rapher, Mr. Evans said he has an- other novel in the works: divorce from a man’s perspective. “I’m halfway through it right now,” he said. “I’m divorced, so I have first-hand experience.” Mr. Evans can be contacted at the following address: P.O.

Durham council voted unanimously last Wednesday to have staff defend its posi- tion opposing a 125-home application by Cherry Downs CoVenture Ltd. The application was for the houses to be built on ap- proximately 65 acres of land zoned agricultural reserve. The property is adjacent to a golf course beside the Clare- mont Conservation Field Centre at Sideline 12 and Concession 7. The current land zoning restricts land uses to agricultural and farm- related uses. The Region up- held its Official Plan desig- nation and did not grant the company the amendment it sought. Cherry Downs lawyer Peter Smith declined com- ment on the decision. The company has appealed Durham’s decision to the OMB, which will begin pre- hearings on the case Sept. 28.

CALL TODAY - START TOMORROW Pleasure and Transportation ADVERTISING FEATURE When one hears the word travel, the words “pleasure” and “trip” inevitably come to mind. Our leisure culture, if indeed it does exist, drives people to travel, exercise and enjoy life to it’s fullest. For lovers of open spaces, pleasure flying is particularly exciting. To view cities, villages and beauty of the northern landscape from high above is truly a unique experience. As a result, there are a number of small airlines companies and outfitters who offer a variety of trips by plane, including pleasure trips, hunting and fishing trips as well as trips to untamed places far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Organized motor coach trips have also become increasingly popular. Offering unsurpassed comfort, motor coaches are a safe and carefree way to travel. Frequent stops allow travelers to admire the many beautiful sites of Canada. Many people dream of going on a cruise. Whether it is on a sailboat or on a luxury liner that can compete with even the grandest of hotels, cruises offer the perfect mix of travel, fine cuisine, and fun activities. You can visit exotic countries with the family, swim in turquoise oceans or go scuba diving; cruises offer something new each day. You can even visit the glaciers. With a cruise, you can do all that and much, much more. To advertise next month, contact Erin at 905-576-9335, 905-683-0707, or 416-798-7259, Ext. 2219.

ADVERTISING FEATURE THROWN FOR A LOOP OK, so 2001 won’t exactly be remem- bered as being a stellar year for the caddie. First we had Mylesgate at the British Open, where looper Myles Byrne forgot to count the clubs of his man, Ian Woosnam. So Woosy ended up with one driver too many and a costly two-stroke penalty in the final round. Then at the European Masters, Myles’ younger brother, Dermot, was nowhere to be found when his player, Stephen Gallacher, teed off in the final round. Dermot Byrne showed up to the third tee and said he had the flu. But fortunately for Dermot, another caddie in Europe was grabbing the weekend headlines. At the inaugural WPGA International Matchplay Championship at Gleneagles, a terrific semifinal match between Laura Davies and Sophie Gustafson came to an abrupt halt after 19 holes when tourna- ment director Ian Randell informed Gustafson she’d have a hole deducted for committing a rules vi- olation. Her caddie, American Chuck Ho- ersch, had accepted a 100-yard ride in a bug- gy to the tee of the first playoff hole, a breach of Tour policy. Davies didn’t want to win the match in such a manner over a good friend, but she had no choice but to accept the decision. Said Gustafson, who was in tears, “I don’t mind losing a tournament when it’s my fault. But when it’s not my fault, it sucks.” Well said. Alas, it’s been a long, tough year for the looper. THE EARL OF WOODS Earl Woods, the Man Who Raised a Tiger, had some interesting things to say about Augusta National’s so-called “Tiger- proofing” of its golf course. “I think they’re doing it the wrong way,” Earl Woods told The Charlotte Observer. “If they want to Tiger-proof the course, what they need to do is have (the players) dress in miniskirts and play from the red tees. Have the fairways 50 yards wide and no rough. Wet the greens every day so they can throw darts in there, and I guarantee you Tiger won’t win. It brings so many players in that I’m sure someone will play better than Tiger. It’s been proven.” Earl Woods also reiterated his stance that Tiger’s future includes far more important items on his plate than golf. “I said that someday with his recognition and status in golf he’ll be able to affect changes because most of the world leaders are golfers,” said the Duke of Earl. “He can go in and say, ‘Hey, Muhammad, how’s your game? Want a lesson? And, by the way, those prisoners you’ve got, give them to me. I’m taking them back. And those kids you have, they need food.’And they’ll say, ‘We’ll take care of it, Mr. Woods.’”— Golfweek BY JEFF RUDE Golfweek O n the weekend when President Bush ordered troops to “get ready” for war, when Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the “best defense against terrorism is an offense,” when the world braced for American retaliation for the Sept. 11 attacks on the East Coast, the staging of the 34th Ryder Cup Matches this month was deemed inappropriate. As the United States and its allies set about grieving and healing and reacting to the tragedies, the European Ryder Cup Board agreed to the PGA of America’s request that the competition be postponed and resched- uled for September 2002 with the same roster of players. The matches, pitting 12-man teams from the United States and Europe in perhaps golf’s most anticipated event, had been set for Sept. 28-30 at The Belfry in Sut- ton Coldfield, England. “When they start pulling victims out of the rubble, and there are funerals taking place, some of them for police and firefighters who were trying to save lives ... and we’re going to be out golfing?” said U.S. star David Duval, the British Open champion, expressing the sentiment of many players. “I don’t think that’s right.” Nor did the powers that be. The PGA’s decision to postpone — for reasons of safety, continued world disorder, family concerns and problems with interna- tional travel for an estimated 1,500-2,000 — forced alteration of long-term scheduling of both the Ryder and Presidents cups. Officials were working to finalize a plan this week that would move the 2002 Presidents Cup, set for Nov. 7-10 in George, South Africa, to 2003. That would avoid scheduling two internation- al competitions within a month and a half next fall. The plan further called for the Ryder Cup, which has existing site agreements through 2011, to be subsequently played in even-num- bered years and the Presidents Cups in odd ones. “That appears the cleanest thing to do,” said Jim Awtrey, PGA of America chief exec- utive officer. That means the 2003 Ryder Cup set for Oakland Hills in Birmingham, Mich., would be pushed back a year, pending numerous dis- cussions in a complex scenario. For certain, holding the Ryder in both 2002 and ’03 is “not going to happen,” one high-ranking offi- cial said. Two days after four hijacked-plane crashes killed thousands in New York City,Washing- ton and Pennsylvania,Awtrey said he had hoped for the matches to proceed this month but that security would be the top considera- tion. He held to that priority in the tragedy’s far-reaching aftermath. “What crystallized (the decision) is that nothing presented itself to clear anything up,” Awtrey said. “There was dialogue around the world that there was going to be conflict, and nobody knew when or where. We were seeing an escalation of everything around the world. There was a growing sense of tragedy, and we’re still looking at the impact. We looked at families affected by parents flying overseas in unsafe times. “It would be hard for them to leave their kids and say, ‘Trust me,’when images on TV were saying otherwise. And the matches would not have been the Ryder Cup we have designed but more of a rally around Ameri- ca.” The PGA chief said he was buoyed by President Bush’s urging of America to move forward and return to normalcy. However, he said, “Our event was taking people out of the country, and normalcy has not yet arrived with international travel. Images from New York did not change, and security was still at a heightened state. When you add all those pieces together, it didn’t seem it was the right thing to play the Ryder Cup. We couldn’t see compelling reasons to go.” The preferred new date is Sept. 27-29, 2002, at The Belfry,Awtrey said. That is the week after the WGC American Express Championship set for Sept. 19-22 in Kilken- ny, Ireland. Like this year, the Ryder again would be scheduled the same week as the PGA Tour’s Texas Open. “If we were here (in America), I believe we’d be playing because that would be nor- mal in the U.S.,”Awtrey said. “Normal is not leaving the U.S. at this minute. We had to be comfortable everyone would be secure.” The PGA is resuming its full schedule this week in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Idaho, but those events don’t involve moving thousands of people abroad. “We all want to go back to being normal, but in the confines of the United States,” said Hal Sutton, a U.S. Ryder Cup member and Tour Policy Board player-director. Awtrey said his outlook of going forward with the matches this month started to change the night of Sept. 13. “We were seeing dia- logue around the world to prepare for serious actions,” he said. “We got a wake-up call that night that things were still unstable.” The PGA requested postponement to Eu- ropean officials, including British PGA chief Sandy Jones and PGA European Tour boss Ken Schofield, on Sept. 15. “I started to apol- ogize,”Awtrey said, “but they stopped me and said, ‘Don’t apologize. We’re supportive of whatever you want to do.’” In a telephone call Sept. 16, the European Ryder Cup board expressed unanimous sup- port,Awtrey said. “We have been placed in a position be- yond our control and therefore the matches, out of necessity, have been postponed,” the European board said in a statement. After the postponement, European Ryder Cup rookie Pierre Fulke of Sweden said most of his teammates wanted to play but fully un- derstood the rationale. “Under the circumstances it’s the only de- cision that could have been made,” Fulke said. “You have to understand the American players who did not want to travel. It’s the only decision.” T he PGA Tour,that exclusive private club,chiseled open a crack in its closed door. That is welcome news for the growing number of talented,young outsiders who can play better than hangers-on. The Tour, in effect, acknowledged it has had an ac- cess problem. The new so-called Charles Howell III Rule puts up-and-comers on similar footing with estab- lished nonmembers from abroad who already could play in a dozen Tour events. The measure should merely be a start in hacksawing the padlock and altering eligibility rules that should have one master: current performance. Those who shoot the lowest scores today should play tomorrow. Nostalgia, with which the exclusionary sport of golf is obsessed, is fine until it discriminates against merit. For the minute, applaud a small progressive act. That would be the Tour’s Sept. 5 passage allowing nonmem- bers to play in up to 12 Tour events a year via sponsor exemptions and top-10 finishes instead of the current seven. That means outsiders potentially have five more starts in which to show they belong. Howell’s success in 2000-01 was the catalyst. The change will benefit other wunderkind, perhaps Bryce Molder and Luke Donald, who might have one hangnail day and don’t get through that national fall lottery known as the pricey, three-stage Q-School. Curiously, however, the Tour preliminarily approved an age limit of 18 for members. That means if new pro- fessional Ty Tryon, 17, gets through Q-School, he would not become a member until he turns 18 in June. That would appear to be age discrimination. There’s no high-age restriction. In a time when athletes are get- ting better younger, who are we to set an arbitrary timetable on a prodigy’s genius, to tell Mozart when his brilliance is fit for pub- lic view? Weren’t Britney Spears and boyfriend Justin Timberlake stars well before 18? I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but if Tryon earned his Tour card and were kept from playing, the Tour might be on some quaking legal ground. Its batting average in court already is worse than an in- ept-hitting former pitcher Bob Buhl’s. If Tyron were de- nied access, the Tour’s new nightmare could be a call be- ginning something like, “Hi, this is Leonard Decof, lawyer for ...” Decof, of course, is to the Tour what John- nie Cochran is to the Los Angeles Police Department. Only performance should exclude. Scores. Not age or politics. Access problems especially plague the Tour’s so- called developmental Buy.com satellite, whose eligibili- ty rules favor hangers-on moreso than tomorrow’s stars. Under the headline “The Outsiders,” that point was made on this page in May. The story told of fields more aged on the Buy.com than PGA Tour. The conclusion was that pro golf is eating its young to save its old, that current deed should rate higher than a dusty resume. The response was overwhelming. The reaction was about 15-1 in favor. If Tim Finchem had inspected the responses, he might be inclined to rewrite Buy.com eligibility from scratch to reflect current ability. Problem is,Tour players on a gravy train aren’t fond of voting in more job insecu- rity than they already have. Since May, young nonmembers Howell, David Gos- sett, Matt Kuchar and Molder have proved the point by excelling on the PGA Tour. They have done so against all odds. The Tour and everybody else needs to realize there are many more with that kind of talent who lack access. Without question the Tour breeded champions better under its pre-1983 system, when there was a top-60 exempt list and Monday qualifying. That was all about merit. Consider this quote: “There should be 60 exemp- tions and 65-70 qualifying spots every week. This gives the younger fel- lows a chance to com- pete. Americans won’t maintain a higher standard with an all-exempt tour. It’s just not the free-enterprise system on which this great country was founded.” That was Gary Player in 1986. Now the same problem infects the so-called develop- mental tour. At the least, the Buy.com should align with Player’s thought and have an open format and, like the grow- ing Canadian Tour, a couple of Q-Schools. Then there’s access. Oh, and one more thing. A lengthy probe has found no truth to the rumor that Doug Ford and Herman Keiser will play the Buy.com Tour in 2002.
