At least that’s what one must conclude after talking to Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Hol- land and Harold Hough, presi- dent of the Pickering Harbour Company. The two just agree to dis- agree. “The barges are rusting mon- uments to the bay’s neglect,” Coun. Holland said of several barges in and around French- man’s Bay, some of which he said haven’t moved in over 10 years. “Frenchman’s Bay is sup- posed to be the jewel of Picker- ing, we’re building a trail around it all so people can come and look out at a bunch of rusted out old barges. This situation has come to a head... and, it’s not just about esthetics. Sailors say the bay is unnavigable and the barges may be an environmental hazard.” But, Mr. Hough countered the barges are actually working marina equipment used to dredge the bay. A.J.

Frenchman’s Bay barges spark debate Creative students offer creative school solutions Think Bowl competitions tackle bullying, local skateboard facilities BY MIKE RUTA Staff Writer DURHAM —Bullying in- cidents rose sharply Wednes- day at St. Matthew the Evange- list Catholic School — on the performance stage, that is. Catholic elementary stu- dents were at the Whitby school recently to take part in the Durham Catholic District School Board’s Fifth Annual Think Bowl Competition. Co-ordinator Debbie Lukow explained Think Bowl encourages students to reason creatively, use higher-level thinking skills and work to- gether to solve a problem they receive the day of the competi- tion. After working out and submitting their solution on paper, students then act it out on stage and are marked on the two components. Four-student teams are formed after tryouts or compe- titions at the school level. In five years, Ms. Lukow said the organizing committee has seen a lot of improvement in students’ work as they be- come more accustomed to the format. “They’ve taken back all they’ve learned in previous years, taken it to heart and tried to integrate some song and dance and mime,” she said in an interview. “The quality of what we’ve seen has im- proved.” The team from St. James Catholic School in Ajax took the gold medal in the junior competition for Grade 4 to 6 students, earning a spot in the provincial finals in June. Meanwhile the school’s inter- mediate team, up against other Grade 7 and 8 students, picked up silver — not bad for the school’s first year in the event. “We practised three times; we gave them a problem, a sce- nario, and they had to do the preparation as if they were at Think Bowl,” said junior team co-coach and teacher Rhonda Whelten. On competition day, their scenario was to find a commu- nity approach to skateboard- ing, considering many business people find skateboarders a nuisance. Ms. Whelten said a student playing a businessman in the performance “came up with an idea that he could turn a piece of land he owns into a skate- board facility for young peo- ple”. Teacher Megan McNee also coached the junior team, com- prised of Emmett Murphy, John Skinner, Rebecca Viegas and Jason Batelaan. The intermediate team from St. Christopher Catholic School in Oshawa won its event. They placed third at the provincials last year.

Pickering debates inclusion of 5,000 acres in study BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer PICKERING —The City could soon open up for devel- opment all or part of 5,000 acres of farmland currently protected by agricultural ease- ments. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said council is in danger of opening up an agricultural preserve to consid- eration for development if the area isn’t left out of a planned growth management study for north Pickering. “I’m concerned council may be opening up the ag pre- serve for development,” he said. “Through the growth management study, all lands would be contemplated for de- velopment, including the agri- cultural assembly.” Council directed staff in February to complete the study, which would provide the basis for an Official Plan re- view. The area to be included is from the Seaton lands (Brock Road) in the east to the York/Durham Town Line in the west, Hwy. 7 to the north and the Canadian Pacific Railway line to the south. The preserve, created in 1999 by placing agricultural easements on most of the 5,000 acres before the Province sold the lands to private interests, is included in that area. The purpose of the ease- ments, which require that prop- erties in the area be used for agricultural purposes only, was to save the area as farmland. However, when the Province put the properties on the mar- ket, local farmers claimed much of it was too expensive to make it viable as farmland, and developers eventually pur- chased it. “Developers purchased the farmland with development in- terests and will be pushing to develop the ag preserve,” said Coun. Holland. “The study will cost around $500,000 which is going to be paid for MAURICE BRENNER ‘It will be an independent study and they will report to the City.’ PICKERING –– Police shut down five more drug houses in Ajax and Pickering Monday. Durham Regional Police drug enforcement officers and the Port Hope Police Service, attending as observers, exe- cuted search warrants at homes in Ajax and Pickering and seized 1,726 marijuana plants worth $1,090,250 and approximately $228,000 worth of growing equipment. All the drug factory operators used an illegal hydro bypass, police said. Police have put an end to 63 grow operations in Durham Region since Janu- ary. In the latest round of seizures and arrests, police targeted: • Windebanks Drive, Ajax. Police seized 315 plants and $58,000 worth of equipment. No one was home at the time of the search. Police continue to investigate. • Varley Drive, Ajax. Police Farmland headed for development?

See PICKERING page 2 See POLICE page 5 See LAND page 4 “We use them from time to time for various jobs,” he said. “There are some in the north end of the bay that have been sitting there for some time, but oth- ers do get used from time to time... we’re not sure which ones we’ll need and we can’t just take them out only to bring them back in.” Four years ago Pickering council passed a resolution asking the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to investigate the barges and have them re- moved. So far, no action has been taken. Coun. Holland has maintained clean- ing up the bay, which is owned solely by the harbour company, is an integral part of creating a “vibrant and viable” water- front. In January of this year Pickering council took the first steps towards cre- ating that vision by amending the City’s Official Plan to implement the Liverpool Road South Detailed Review. Certain lands along Liverpool Road, south of Annland Street, were redesig- nated and design guidelines were estab- lished to create a ‘Great Lakes nautical village’ theme on the east shore of Frenchman’s Bay. The idea was to cre- ate a village with shops, restaurants, and cafes surrounding the existing Pickering Harbour Company-owned marina and the millennium square and boardwalk. An initial plan for 17 townhouses with commercially convertible ground floors on the east side of Liverpool Road across from the marina was also ap- proved. However, council and the Pick- ering Harbour Company could not reach agreement on rezoning the existing ma- rina. The harbour company wants to build 66 townhouses on the north end of the marina lands, with eight of the 26 units fronting Liverpool to include com- mercial ground floors. Under the plan, Mr. Hough says, the “messy” side of the marina operation — boat cleaning and maintenance — would move across the street. Council has countered all 26 homes fronting Liverpool should be commer- cially convertible and no other town- houses should be built. In addition, it wants the existing marina left were it is, maintaining it’s another important as- pect of building a tourist node around the bay. The two sides are to go before the OMB May 10 and June 10. challenged the teams to come up with a creative plan to deal with bullying. The St. Christopher team, comprised of Heather McKim, Dante Labriola, Geneva Winterink and Michelle McPhee, proposed victims first try and ignore bullies, then negotiate with them, and if that fails, go to an author- ity figure for help. Team co-coach and teacher Renata McLeod said the students’ experience was the deciding factor in their fine showing. “We did a lot of practising, but it’s their third year doing it, the same four children, and they’re very involved in a lot of dramatic things at school, and I guess they’re definitely not shy,” she said. Teacher Ken Young also coached the team with help from colleague Lisa Evans. The team from St. Paul Catholic School in Whitby proposed scaring kids straight with an overnight trip to the fictional Oswald State Correction- al Facility to stop them from bullying. In their scenario, the bully is con- fronted by a no-nonsense prison guard, played by Grade 8 student Peter Camposeo, who warns bully- ing is the begin- ning of a chain of behaviour that leads to impris- onment. “You’re going to start commit- ting crimes, you’re going to start abusing people and you’re going to end up in jail,” he thunders. Grade 8 stu- dent Warren Mouck played an Oswald inmate, and in an inter- view explained bullies “would see what it would be like as an in- mate” and be de- terred. “Just going into the princi- pal’s office does- n’t solve the problem,” he added. The host team from St. Matthew the Evangelist finished second in the junior event, while the Holy Redeemer Catholic School team from Pick- ering finished third. In the inter- mediate contest, the St. Bernard Catholic School team from Whit- by placed third. Twenty-nine teams from 17 schools took part.

And with the slew of new specialized “performance” tires out there, the cost of tires is only increasing. So you might as well get as much out of these four costly rubber wheels as you possibly can. Hopefully you know by now that keeping a close eye on the air pressure level is one way to extend the life of your tires. But that’s not the only thing you can do. You should also have your tires aligned and rotated twice a year. Aligning your tires will keep them parallel and prevent them from wearing out prematurely. It also allows you to have better control of your vehicle. While an alignment can require additional repairs such as to the car’s steering, this is the price you sometimes have to pay to ensure your safety. In some instances you will be able to tell if your tires are not properly aligned. For example, your vehicle might tend to veer off in one direction, or you might feel like you don’t really have full control of the vehicle. In addition, if your tires are starting to wear out more toward the inside or the outside of the tread, then it is high time for you to have your tires aligned. But poorly aligned tires aren’t always that obvious. That’s why you should have them aligned each spring and fall without fail. And be particularly careful in winter. Snow can be abrasive and cause poorly aligned tires to wear out more quickly than they should. Proper alignment will make your tires last longer VicVic Lakefront municipalities in Durham may not see any of provincial funding BY MARTIN DERBYSHIRE Staff Writer DURHAM —The provin- cial government is pumping $50 million into cleaning up the Great Lakes around On- tario, but Durham Region and its lakeside municipalities may not see any of it. “We’re certainly pleased about the announcement, pleased that the provincial government sees the problems and is taking steps to address them,” said Russ Powell, chief administrative officer of the Central Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority (CLOCA). “The only problem I have is that none of that money is coming to Durham Region.” In what would be her final move as environment minister, Elizabeth Witmer, the Province’s new deputy pre- mier, announced a $50-million investment in cleaning up the Great Lakes and protecting the province’s “unique coastal en- vironment”. The money will be directed towards “priority projects” to support the cleanup of contam- inated sediment in 16 “areas of concern”. Environment Ministry spokesman John Steele con- firmed none of the 16 areas of concern are in Durham, but added part of the $50 million would be going to other cleanup efforts and may yet find it’s way to Durham. Along with the 16 areas of concern, the cash will also be used to increase the monitor- ing and reporting of water and sediment quality, as well as the health of fish and wildlife in and around the Great Lakes; reduce the amount of harmful pollutants, such as mercury, that find their way into the lakes; inte- grate information from governments and stakeholders to ensure better decisions are made and appropriate actions taken; and to make progress on habitat reha- bilitation, conservation and protection. Mr. Steele said it’s “too early to tell” if any areas in Durham Region qualify in those areas. However, while Mr. Powell said he sees the need in sever- al areas around the province, he wonders why no Durham projects have been named a priority. “I’ve heard that money is going to 16 areas all over the Great Lakes and none in Durham,” he said. “They’ve spread it all around, but none in Durham although we have some areas where there are concerns.” Mr. Powell said the federal government has concerns over water quality in the Oshawa Harbour and Environment Canada has done studies indi- cating there are “some prob- lems” in the area. “We need to look at it and ask if the situation is such that Oshawa Harbour should be on the list. “And, is there the provin- cial and federal money avail- able?” he asked. Mr. Steele said it would be six months to a year before any decisions are made on the rest of the funding.

The current strike by the On- tario Public Ser- vice Employees Union won’t stop the Envi- ronment Min- istry from alert- ing the public to bad air days, said ministry spokesman John Steele. “We can still issue smog alerts,” Mr. Steele said. With the offi- cial smog sea- son starting in May, he said the ministry is pre- pared, even though only 50 per cent of its monitoring sta- tions are up and running because of the strike. And while smog alerts and advisories will be issued as needed, specific readings may be difficult to post on the govern- ment Web site or on the hotline due to the strike, he said. Smog alerts are issued three days in advance, indicating there’s a 50-per cent chance of poor air quality in the following three days. Smog advisories are issued 24 hours in ad- vance of a po- tentially bad air day. The alerts will go out to media outlets and to people who have regis- tered on the Web site for the ser- vice, Mr. Steele said.

But we still all dream of the day that we can reunite EVERY lost pet with its family. Pets, unfortunately, cannot speak for themselves. We need your help to I.D. your pet. Lack of pet identification is a problem that Animal Services faces every day. Please don’t assume that because you have an indoor cat or a fenced yard that you don’t need I.D. for your cat or dog. The number of lost animals that don’t find their way home speaks for itself. By law, all cats and dogs must be registered with the municipality in which they reside and must wear an I.D. tag. Canvassers are currently going door-to-door to register you pet. Please welcome them. They are on a mission that is beneficial to you and your pet. If you miss the canvasser, you can register you pet at your local municipal office, at participating veterinary clinics and at the Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Services Centre.

Why would they pay for the study if they’re not going to get some- thing out of the back end?” However, Ward 1 Regional Coun- cillor Maurice Brenner said all of north Pickering needs to be looked at as a part of the study if the City is to avoid “cookie-cutter” planning. “To do a proper, comprehensive study, everything’s got to be on the table.” Coun. Brenner added having the de- velopers pay for the study is not an un- common practice. “Having landowners opt in to pay for a study is nothing new for Picker- ing and just because they contribute the dollars doesn’t predetermine the outcome,” he said. “It will be an inde- pendent study and they will be report- ing to the City, not to developers... I wouldn’t prejudge at this point.” Coun. Brenner said allowing the agricultural preserve to be left out of the study would prevent the City from looking at all the options for transit corridors and road networks in the north, but added the plan is not to do away with the agricultural preserve all together. “We cannot isolate the ag preserve,” he said. “I’m not suggesting it be scrapped all together, but we need to look at what’s there... if it’s not being used as agricultural, if it’s just sitting there, maybe something should be done with it, but only if it makes sense and only if it’s not agricultural.” Coun. Brenner said the study is an opportunity for Pickering and the local community to work together in plan- ning a “utopian society” in the north with open space, agricultural, rural and urban land uses “all compact, together in one plan. “I’m tired of the half-assed plan- ning approach throughout the (Greater Toronto Area). This is our last oppor- tunity,” he said. “If we screw this up we’re screwing up a legacy.” Council is expected to debate the parameters of the study at the May 13 planning committee meeting.

Weight Loss My name is Carol Hooper. I do companion care for older adults. Two years ago my size dropped from a baggy XXL to a petite size six. I shed 95 pounds without dieting! I’ve kept my weight off ever since. It’s been effortless! This is my real-life story. I will reveal how I did it. Why I’m convinced my success is permanent. Why I think you can do it too. Pain & Unhappiness I was overweight nearly my entire life. Everything revolved around food. I was obsessed. I turned to food for comfort. It was my support when I was sad, tired or happy. I couldn’t control it. I spent my life living to eat. Carrying around an extra 95 pounds is a lot of work. I was always tired. One or two naps a day was my routine. I looked for excuses to stay home. I was hiding. There’s no way I could be happy like that. I was heavy, miserable and uncomfortable. My weight embarrassed me. I tried everything to lose my weight. I suffered through pre-packaged food and chalky shakes. I counted, weighed, measured and starved. I’ve done all the weird diets. The grapefruit, high protein, low fat, to name a few. Any crazy diet you can think of, I tried it. Diets don’t work. I lost my weight once with medication. I gained it all back plus 70 pounds. Dramatic Results When my weight exceeded my limit, I was desperate. I discovered Positive Changes Hypnosis on WNIS talk radio. They said I could have a free hypnosis screening. I was impressed right off the bat. The staff is friendly and caring. I expected a grueling sales pitch. There was none. The screening was fun and informative. There was no pressure. No need to sign a contract. The folks at PCH had my best interest at heart. I felt it then. I know it now. I signed up. To be honest, I didn’t lose my weight right away. I didn’t mind. My life was improving in astounding ways. It was easy to stay motivated. Suddenly my weight started dropping off me. The last 55 pounds melted off in five short months. Now my dress size is six petite. I lost my weight without dieting. No hunger, cravings or binges. It was fast and easy. I’ve exceeded my expectations. Pride and Joy I am extremely proud of my accomplishment. I can’t take all the credit though. Hypnosis made it easy. I have not had to deal with cravings and binges. No messing with diets, pills or pre-packaged food. Hypnosis made weight loss simple and straightforward. I recommend Positive Changes Hypnosis daily. I recommend it to everyone.

In both 1962 and 1963, the Ajax Industrial Commission set up a booth at the CNE and handed out commemorative coins. This was done as a promotion to try and draw new business- es to the town. The 1962 coins created quite a stir in the international collecting circles after being featured in the Coin World magazine. Requests for the coins came from such distant points as Indo-China, Kentucky and Europe. The 1963 coins were just as popular. The com- mission did not participate in the 1964 CNE, however a limited set of coins were issued and sold for $1.50 each.

A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER,WEDNESDAY EDITION, May 1, 2002 Proud members of Premier Ernie Eves is acting as if he is searching the world for new policies, but it is more like- ly he will wind up with some that have already sprung up in his own backyard. The new Progressive Conser- vative premier, who needs to pull his party up from low polls, said he wants to talk to many, includ- ing those with different views and says he might learn some- thing. Mr. Eves has already started his government talking with teachers and labour, a departure from his predecessor, Mike Har- ris, who avoided unions as if he feared they were after him for dues. He also has a bundle of sug- gestions made by members of his own party who were his rivals in the acrimonious leadership con- test he won. Mr. Eves will not look back on that campaign fondly, because he spent most of it being accused by his rivals of lacking ideas and not being a true conservative. But the new premier would be hurting himself if he let this pre- clude him from looking at the proposals made by his rivals. All were top ministers and their thoughts represent the party’s collective wisdom. The new leader will totally disregard some suggestions, such as Jim Flaherty’s idea to make it illegal to sleep on the streets. Mr. Eves said at the time making homelessness a crime is not the answer to the problem. He is not likely either to snap up Mr. Flaherty’s plan to sell the Liquor Control Board of Ontario and TVOntario. The premier has said he has yet to hear a case made for selling the LCBO, which brings in $1.2 billion a year for taxpayers, and his com- panion, Isabel Bassett, is chair- man of TVO and seems to like her job. Mr. Eves similarly cannot be expected to adopt Tony Clement’s idea elections be held on fixed dates every four years to make the political process clear- er and fairer, because one of his current preoccupations is when he should call an election that will give most advantage to him- self and least to his opponents. But Mr. Eves could look at Chris Stockwell’s proposal the Province place a moratorium for two years on more changes to the school system, which under Mr. Harris had to cope with up- heavals including a new curricu- lum, changes in teachers’ work rules and huge funding short- ages. The new education minister and deputy premier, Elizabeth Witmer, has already said she wants to foster better relations with teachers before implement- ing more changes and a formal moratorium would reinforce this. Ms. Witmer suggested in the campaign the Province subsidize housing for the poor by provid- ing shelter allowances for low- income residents who spend more than 50 per cent of their in- comes on rent. The Tories’Com- mon Sense Revolution promised rental subsidies it did not deliver. Ms. Witmer also went further and said Ontario should drop its reluctance and accept a generous federal offer to provide $244 million over five years to con- struct affordable housing if the Province matches it. Mr. Clement suggested putting more effort into strength- ening securities laws including those at the national and interna- tional levels, worthwhile be- cause many investors are so scared by recent horror stories they are unwilling to get back in the market. The health minister said the Province should convert its pub- licly-owned, coal-fired, electrici- ty generation plants to cleaner- burning natural gas, which would be about the biggest sin- gle step it could take to reduce air pollution. Mr. Eves would win applause by putting them on a strict timetable. Ms. Witmer said the Tories, who cut taxes more than any be- fore them, should not cut more at the expense of public services. Mr. Eves has an opportunity to endorse this and say his priority is what should be the current clarion call in government, hold- ing on to and improving ser- vices. Several of Mr. Eves’s rivals, and particularly Mr. Stockwell as a former Speaker of the legis- lature, proposed reforms that would allow MPPs more free- dom to express personal and constituents’ views. The U.S. Senate has just re- jected President George W. Bush’s plan to allow oil develop- ment in an Arctic wildlife refuge when some in his own party balked, a reminder there is no such independence here. The campaign also revealed taxpayers are paying a longtime Tory worker an indefensible $300,000-a-year as an aide to the health minister and Mr. Eves would do his party a lot of good if he could say he has cured this problem. The new premier can learn a lot from his rivals. Opponents’ ideas rival new premier’s Unsuccessful Tories represent a wealth of policy suggestions for Eves It’s springtime when the living is easy and thoughts turn to love, tending your garden, watching the birds and keeping an eye out for leather-jacketed bikers on their Harley Davidson hogs. At least the citizens of Durham Region should be mighty concerned about a biker turf war, according to police spokesman Sergeant Paul Malik. Sgt. Malik said the chance of violence between the Hells Angels and their archrivals, the Bandidos, “appears to be es- calating and police believe rival gangs have begun to arm themselves in anticipation of future conflicts”. Concerns about the annual Hells Angels’ pilgrimage to Caesarea in Scugog are heightened in the wake of the Hells- Bandidos battle for supremacy in southern Ontario. The Caesarea ride is this weekend, and in most years, po- lice keep an eye on proceedings and little to no trouble takes place. It’s hoped that occurs once again this weekend. But the wider worry for police and citizens is how the biker battles play out over time. Since the Hells Angels made their way into Ontario a few years ago, the scene has been set for a battle between the An- gels and Bandidos. The latter gang was known as the Rock Machine and murder and mayhem became commonplace when the Hells and the Rock went to war in Quebec over the past 10 to 15 years. Hundreds of people, many of them inno- cent bystanders, were caught in the crossfire. Could such a disaster happen right here? Last December a Bandido was stabbed outside an Oshawa strip club and Ban- didos, on their club’s Web site, have been vowing revenge for the attack. A Bandidos affiliate, the Outlaws, may have plans to establish themselves in Durham. Meanwhile, the Hells An- gels have been quickly collecting members in the region, have plenty of so-called ‘hang around’associates and are in charge of puppet clubs here. The menace is growing. It’s an unsettling scenario that seems a recipe for inevitable violence. “There is definitely tension building up. It’s a lot of escalation and speculation right now. We’re not trying to alarm people, we just want to make them aware, give the pub- lic a heads-up,” said Detective Constable Dan McKinnon of the outlaw motorcycle gang squad. Increased funding and law enforcement resources dedicat- ed to dealing with biker activities have provided police with the manpower and the equipment to carry out their duties. Offences carried out by bikers must be met with arrests and stiff prosecutions to follow. Armed with the backing they need, our police need to make Durham Region such a miser- able place for bikers the Hells and their rivals will take their criminal activities elsewhere. Editorial &OPINIONS NEWS ADVERTISER MAY 1, 2002 Editorial e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Letters to the editor e-mail responses to shouston@durhamregion.com Poland missing its favourite entertainer To the editor: I’d like everyone to know Michael T. Wall, ‘The Singing Newfoundlander’ who lives in Pickering, is still a big hit with Polish radio audiences. He’s a household name here and his most requested song is ‘Daddy’s Girl’. I’ll never forget his successful show in Warsaw, Poland, back in 1984, when he walked on stage waving a big six-foot Canadian flag and he was so happy and proud to do it. He sang most of his beautiful Newfoundland favourites and he got a standing ovation. He signed many of his pictures and distrib- uted maps and leaflets of New- foundland. He’s so proud of his Newfoundland roots. Both his daughters are talented too. We hope he’ll come back here to entertain his Polish fans. We love him and his music. Miroslow Desperak, Poland Why the large discrepancy in salary increases? To the editor: Re: ‘Hundreds made six-figure salaries in Durham in 2001,’ story, April 5. Who is minding the regional budget, which just increased again? In April 1999, your paper re- ported the chief administrative office of Durham Region, Garry Cubitt, made $127,724. On April 5, 2002, your paper reported he made $175,110, an increase of 37 per cent. The commissioner of finance, Jim Clapp, is reported as making $112,490 in 1999 and earning $160,843 in 2002 for an increase of 43 per cent. Compare these increases with that of the planning commission- er, who went from $113,373 to $128,390, an increase of 13.2 per cent. That’s quite a difference. Both the CAO and the finance commissioner have the top re- sponsibility for the regional bud- get. Who looked after who and were the taxpayers well-served by these increases? Check your tax bill for starters.

CAT OWNERS should note that City of Pickering By-law 5728/00 requires all cats to be licenced and leashed when off the owner’s property. DOG OWNERS should note that the same By-law prohibits the keeping of more than two dogs in any one household. Dogs and cats are important members of your family.

The Pickering Fire Services reminds you to test your smoke alarms each month by pushing the alarm test button. If you have difficulty reaching your alarms, use a broom handle or a cane to gently press the test button for 30 seconds. If the alarm doesn’t sound, replace the battery or the alarm immediately. Remember, only a working smoke alarm can save your life. Contact the Pickering Fire Services at 905-420-4628, or, email fire@city.pickering.on.ca for more information about smoke alarms. One Smoke Alarm is Not Enough Most fatal fires occur at night, while people are asleep. Poisonous gases and smoke from a fire can numb the senses in a very short time. That’s why every home needs smoke alarms to wake you up in time to escape. The Pickering Fire Services recommends you install a smoke alarm on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas. Test your smoke alarms regularly to make sure they work and change the batteries at least once a year. Remember: only a working smoke alarm can save your life. Contact the Pickering Fire Services at 905-420-4628, or, email fire@city.pickering.on.ca for more information about smoke alarms.

Two for the Show expands entertainment for fans in the stands BY AL RIVETT Staff Editor AJAX —After a success- ful season of Toronto Rock ‘n’ roll, an Ajax musical duo will keep fans of Canada’s newest football team enter- tained this summer and fall. Two for the Show, con- sisting of Allan Mackay and Rob Tyler, kept Toronto Rock fans rocking in the stands last season during timeouts at National Lacrosse League games at the Air Canada Centre. How- ever, the performances aren’t finished for the musical duo. They’ve been hired by Rock owner Brad Watters to enter- tain in the stands during games for his newest sports property — the expansion Ottawa Renegades of the Canadian Football League. Both Mackay and Tyler noted it will be on an even bigger scale than Rock games, as they’re expecting crowds to be in the 35,000 range at Renegades’ home games at Frank Clair Stadi- um. “It’ll be three times as big, so it will be a challenge,” said Tyler. They’ll play at a Rene- gades’ exhibition game June 13, followed by the team’s CFL debut June 28. “It will be cutting edge for football to have us moving around and playing in the crowd. We’re the only band that does it in lacrosse and in football,” added Tyler. The duo has been a main- stay at Rock games for the past two seasons, playing and promoting the team’s games, as well as being the musical focal point at a number of other team-sponsored, fan- friendly events. This season held special significance for the duo as the Rock captured the league’s Champions Cup over the Albany Attack, cul- minating in a huge celebra- tion for team and staff at Wayne Gretzky’s restaurant in Toronto. “It was a really busy year for us. Now, it’s full steam ahead,” said Tyler. With a wireless setup that allows the duo to roam about the stadium, playing guitar and singing for pockets of people in the various sec- tions, Two for the Show has been an unqualified hit at Rock games. Tyler said the duo’s versatility has been its biggest ally in keeping the fans and the team’s manage- ment happy. “I don’t think every band could do it. Our emceeing abilities and our versatility has merged well with what they need. We’ve been lucky enough to find an element where we can use our abili- ties that we’ve worked on for so many years,”said Mackay. Except for the some minor technical glitches, the duo’s time entertaining in the stands went amazingly well this past Rock season, said Mackay. One particular time, however, the band almost didn’t make it to a game. “On game days, the time is tight. We go in and set up our gear. Right in the middle of this our van got towed,”re- called Tyler. “But, we were able to recover in time. We paid the $160 fine and got back in time.” In addition to the Rene- gades games, Two for the Show is also scheduled to play in several ‘rev-up par- ties’ in advance of the Mol- son Indy in Toronto and the Vancouver Indy this summer. They played at one of the parties at the Molson Indy last summer. The band is on the Inter- net at www.twofortheshow.org.

The Second World War school for spies and communications establishment was shrouded in secrecy. Its loca- tion on a stretch of Lake Ontario farmland strad- dling what today is the border be- tween Whitby and Oshawa was unknown even to area residents. One of the intelli- gence officers to train there was James Bond cre- ator Ian Fleming and the covert op- eration was run by Sir William Stephenson, code-named ‘In- trepid.’ The ‘Finding Camp X’ exhibit is on now at the gallery and will run until June 16. Two for the Show members Allan Mackay and Rob Tyler take their irrev- erent show on the road this summer when they’ll entertain Ottawa foot- ball fans during home games there. Let us entertain you!

Nikkita Holder, 14, competing in the midget girls’ division, set a new meet record in one event and won a whopping four gold medals in all at the high-cali- bre meet. To top off a perfect day, she received the Jim and Mary Courtright Award as the meet’s most out- standing female athlete. Holder set the meet record en route to winning the midget girls’ 80-metre hurdles in a time of 12.58 seconds. She also ran to gold in the 100m and 200m events.

MOWER MADNESS The Forecaddie took in a showing of a new film titled “The Greens- keeper.” The plot, such as it is, involves a goonlike superintendent with a pro- clivity for inventively using the tools of his trade. Te xas Rangers relief pitch- er/psycho John Rocker embodies a ghost-like fig- ure who goes on a rampage against members of his country club. Among the lasting images in this campy spoof of the “Friday the 13th” are a rotary mower decapitation, impromptu chest surgery with a hole- cutter and an irrigation head coupled into a chest that spurts blood. Promotional material declares that “It’s par for the corpse.” Let’s just say that when director Kevin Greene yelled “cut,” it was the start of the action, not the end. AUGUSTA DAYDREAM The Forecaddie left Augusta with this lasting image:Arnold Palmer teeing off in a morning practice round, then mischievously eyeing the rigid “Use One Ball Only” sign at Augusta National after hitting a dis- mal first drive on No. 1. After wit- nessing Palmer’s poor shot, a specta- tor wisely yelled to the King, “A rnold, members can hit mulli- gans.” To which Palmer, smil- ing as he reached for a second ball and placed it on a peg, replied, “You’re damn right.” TAP-INS AND LIP-OUTS Here’s a new book with a revela- tion sure to emit a significant buzz across the golf world: In “Karrie Webb,”authored by Aussie sports- writer Charles Happell of The Age newspaper, Happell reveals that We bb’s companion is fellow LPGA player Kelly Robbins. Happell writes that Webb’s break-up with her one- time caddie and fiance,Todd Haller,still causes “a lot of bad blood” between the two Australian families (Webb’s longtime instruc- tor is Haller’s uncle). The book also makes public the knowledge that Webb and Robbins have had a relation- ship for four years despite the U.S. Women’s Open cham- pion’s efforts to keep her private life “a well-guarded fortress that remains strictly off-limits to pesky media types.” — Golfweek TRIVIA At 17, Retief Goosen was struck by lighting on a golf course. All his clothes, including shoes, were burned off and the resulting health problems kept him out of the game for several months. Advertising Feature Distributed by Knight Ridder/Tribune eff Julian’s handshake is firm, exaggerated perhaps because he wants you to know that he’s still strong. But truth be known, when he hits his golf ball into rough of any consequence, he doesn’t have the strength to advance it far. “Five or six years ago, I could hit it harder,” Julian says. “But I’m 40. I’m getting old.” Those who meet Julian for the first time, and are aware that there’s a more complicated explanation to his eroding skills than advancing age, aren’t sure what to expect. Julian has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. There is no cure. Once stricken with ALS, which destroys the brain’s ability to communicate with muscles, the victim’s life expectan- cy is two to five years. Julian learned of his fate only last October. All Julian has ever wanted to do is play golf. He walked on at Clemson because he wanted to compete. He passed up opportuni- ties to be a club pro at prestigious courses in New England for the same reason. Above all else, Julian is a com- petitor. The week after the Masters, he played in the PGA Tour’s Wo rldCom Classic on a sponsor’s exemption. Although he shot 74-74 and missed the cut by six shots, it wasn’t for lack of focus. When Julian is on the course, he makes a superhu- man effort to block out everything but the task at hand. He says the fact that he’s dying doesn’t cross his mind. “I’m busy doing what I’ve always done, my normal rou- tine,” he says. “It keeps me active and doing something I’d be doing anyway. It keeps me motivated and looking ahead. I love it, the need for competition.” He always has been a player, albeit on the fringes. He never made the starting five in three years at Clemson, yet felt good enough about his game to leave school early and turn professional in 1986. He knocked around on the North Atlantic Tour and other mini-tours (tending bar at night) before winning the New England Open in 1995 and the Nike Tour’s Dominion Open in 1997. He set what still stands as a Buy.com Tour rebound record by posting a second- round 63 and making the cut after opening with an 82 at the ’97 Carolina Classic. Three times Julian qualified for the U.S. Open and twice he earned his PGA Tour card via Q-School. He failed to keep it both times, finishing 193rd on the money list in 1995 and 211th last year. His career Tour earnings in 54 starts: $110,734. Julian’s first Tour appearance this year, at Pebble Beach, attracted a great deal of media attention, which was fine with him and his wife, Kimberly. They’re eager to heighten awareness about ALS. Doctors, says Kimberly Julian, “have not been able to give many answers when you ask, ‘Why?’They say, ‘This is what it is. We don’t know what causes it. We don’t know how to cure it. Here’s what equipment you’ll need to treat it. Now go home and die.’That’s basically what they tell you. “We don’t look at it that way,” she says. “We have hope that they will find a cure, maybe tomorrow.” In reality, though, time is running out. “I tire easily if I overdo it,” Julian says. “A heavy day really tires me out for the next day. We have a routine down, nine holes Tuesday and nine (Wednesday), and that’s it.” The first symptoms Julian noticed were neck soreness, slightly impaired speech and difficulty in swallowing. It’s got- ten worse since Pebble Beach. In addition to fatigue, he has lost control of facial muscles. His speech isn’t so much slurred as it sounds like an audio tape on the wrong speed. Kimberly sometimes answers for him. But Julian hasn’t lost his sense of humor. “When I’m out playing,” he says, “it’s the same as before, not any different. I don’t have to talk while I’m hitting.” Julian, who also played in the BellSouth Classic, received exemptions to play at Greensboro the last week of April and at the Canon Greater Hartford Open in June. That leaves him with two more opportunities (non-PGA Tour members can take seven sponsor exemptions). He’s waiting for replies from the Memorial, Kemper Open, Advil Western Open and Buick Classic, where in 1996 he recorded his best finish on Tour, tying for 16th. If all four tournaments offer exemp- tions, shouldn’t he be able to accept them all? If ever rules should be bent, it’s in Julian’s case. And wouldn’t it be a grand gesture if the USGA and the PGA of America offered Julian exemptions into their major championships? There would be no objections from his peers. They’ve shaken his hand, and felt the grip of a worthy com- petitor. DAVE SEANOR Golfweek BY SCOTT GODLEY Golfweek Since Tiger Woods stepped onto the PGA Tour in 1996, interest in golf cards has gone through the roof. A flawless Tiger Woods 1996 Sports Illustrated for Kids card is priced at $2,500. According to Todd Mueller, owner of Todd Mueller Autographs near Dallas, that same Woods card was sold privately last year for $100,000. The impact Woods’ persona has on the price of a piece of cardboard is apparent. Still, without a legitimate product designer, golf cards were run- ning in place. Everything changed in May 2001 when Upper Deck, one of the most visible and successful faces in the card industry, inked Woods to a five-year deal for the rights to supply his autographed memorabilia. One month later, after gathering 86 more contractual agreements with PGA Tour players, Upper Deck introduced its first 640-card golf set at the U.S. Open. The cards were an almost instant hit, selling 7,520 packs in a week. “Upper Deck’s partnership with Tiger Woods is a huge reason why this has a chance of succeed- ing,” said Golfsmith gifts buyer Matt George. Before the union of Upper Deck and Woods, the success of golf cards was spotty at best. In 1926, golf cards became a blip on the radar after Lambert and Butler featured Bobby Jones and Jesse Sweeter in its “Who’s Who in Sports” set. Churchman’s cigarettes offered the first com- plete set within the golf card industry in 1927. Churchman’s was the first brand to offer special- ty card subsets. After Churchman’s left the scene in 1931, only 10 golf sets were produced over the next 45 years — most of which came through multi- sport series, Wheaties boxes and cigarette packs. In 1981, Donruss became the first card com- pany to gain a license from the PGA Tour and supply Jack Nicklaus’ rookie card … 20 years after the Golden Bear turned pro. A decade later, Pro Set tried its hand at golf. Upper Deck came onto the baseball card scene in 1989 and immediately built a reputa- tion as a unique, high-quality product that spilled over to football and basketball. “A n ything (Upper Deck) gets into, they do it big,” said said Pepper Hastings, deputy editor for Beckett Golf Collector. While Tiger-mania has some teen-agers tearing into packs, die-hard golf card collectors are, on average, older (ages 25 to 50) than those in other sports. “I started collecting in 1978 and it got to a point where my wife said, ‘Enough is enough — you need to either start a business or quit,’” Meuller said. In 1992, Meuller hired artist Bart Forbes to make 30 lithograph cards for a set titled “Golf’s Greatest.” In one month, Mueller made $100,000 in sales of the 1,500-copy set, ini- tially priced at $200. Then the lawsuits start- ed arriving from PGA Tour players whose images were used with- out licensing. Upper Deck has been able to use its profits to put contract problems out of the picture. The just-introduced 2002 set features rookie cards for Phil Mickelson — 10 years after his 1992 profes- sional debut — and 17-year-old Ty Tryon. Ultimately, however, it all comes back to Tiger. “We probably wouldn’t even have golf cards if it wasn’t for (Woods),” said Mike Caruso, store manager for Field of Dreams in Orlando, Fla.
