Cool task on a hot day
AJAX –– Junior firefighters (from left) Michael Colsimo, Devon Degraavw and Tyri
Guthro train their hose on the ‘cannonball’during a final-day exercise at the Ajax fire-
hall on Monarch Avenue. Youngsters taking part in the summer camp learned a host of
activities related to firefighting. In this competition, two teams had to push a cannon-
ball to their opponent’s end of the line.
Durham schools to get extras?
GRANT ANDREWS
‘I’m very optimistic that
there will be substantial
improvements in
co-instructional activities...’
Higher class size
average designed
to bring back
sports and clubs
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Durham’s
Catholic school board is opti-
mistic about after-school activi-
ties returning this fall now that
the Province has implemented
new legislation.
Passed late last month, the
Stability and Excellence in Edu-
cation Act is the Province’s
compromise on the issue of high
school teachers’ workload, a
contentious issue for almost
four years and inextricably
linked to the provision of ex-
tracurricular activities.
At Monday night’s board
meeting, as the act allows,
trustees approved a motion to
allow for the average class size
in high schools to increase from
21 to 22 students this coming
year.
That will free up about 14
full-time teachers to help adjust
teachers’overall workload.
The board also approved a
letter of understanding with the
Ontario English Catholic Teach-
ers’ Association, setting out the
adjustments to full-time class-
room teachers’workload.
While teachers still must
teach the ministry-mandated
6.67 classes of eight every two
days, the credit course workload
is now six of eight, with the rest
of the time taken up by supervi-
sory,remedial,on-call,guidance
and one-on-one instruction du-
ties, as well as the teacher advi-
sor program (TAP).
By including these extra du-
ties as teaching time, the act ef-
fectively reduces teachers’
workload, freeing up time that
could be used to provide activi-
ties and more remedial help to
students.
Ginelle Augustin, the board’s
student trustee from Monsignor
Paul Dwyer Catholic High
School in Oshawa, asked educa-
tion director Grant Andrews if
he thought the changes would
restore activities to their previ-
ous level, or if they’re simply a
first step in bringing extracurric-
ulars back.
“I’m very optimistic that
there will be substantial im-
provements in co-instructional
activities in all of our secondary
schools,” he replied.
Mr. Andrews noted the min-
istry is going to allow boards to
make TAP, in which teachers
meet with students to help them
develop planning and goal-set-
ting skills, only mandatory for
students in Grade 9 and 10. As a
result, teachers in the senior
high school grades will have a
TAP time equivalent credited as
supervision on their timetable.
The board in a week intends
to send a letter to high school
parents, explaining how the leg-
islation has been implemented
in local schools.
In a recent interview, Educa-
tion Minister Janet Ecker said
there should be no reason for a
lack of activities in high schools
after school boards implement
the act.
“Every party said they were
prepared to compromise, and if
everyone does what they said
they would do, there should be
no excuse,” she said.
Chernobyl victim discovers whole new world
Area family
hosts child from
Chernobyl as part
of ‘curative rest’
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
AJAX —It’s not the great-
est way to start a six-week stay
in Canada, but within 24 hours
of arriving Alena Rukhlevich
was sitting in a dentist’s chair.
The 10-year-old is staying
with Ann and Jim Farquhar as
part of the Belarusian Charita-
ble Fund ‘For the Children of
Chernobyl’, a group that
arranges six- to 12-week stays
for children living in areas con-
taminated with radioactive fall-
out from the Chernobyl nu-
clear accident. The fund has
been bringing children to
Canada and the United States
for the past 10 years. Alena is
one of 12 children in Canada,
with the other 11 staying with
families in Cobourg.
The aim is to get the chil-
dren away from the radioactive
contamination, to offer them
“curative rests,” according to
translator Marina Kazakova.
While here, host families
arrange medical, dental and
eye care. For her first three
days in Canada, Ms. Kazakova
was with Alena, who can’t
speak English, while the
youngster went to the various
doctors.
Mrs. Farquhar said Dr. Car-
men Price (medical), Dr.
George Browes (dentist), Dr.
Brian Hadden (optometrist)
and Dr. Francine Dallaire (chi-
ropractor) all donated their ser-
vices.
“They all agreed right away
(to donate their services). They
could hardly wait for her to
come,” Mrs. Farquhar said.
Medically, Alena is fine and
her eyes are good. “The only
difficulty are the (nine) cavi-
ties,” Mrs. Farquhar said.
“She’s had five appointments
with more to come.”
The Chernobyl accident,
which Ms. Kazakova said was
the “worst man-caused techni-
cal disaster” ever, happened on
April 26, 1986. The accident
occurred when scientists tried
an experiment to see how long
one of the reactors could run
without power. The resulting
explosion spread radioactive
material across Belarus, Baltic
countries and Scandinavia.
“There will be low doses of
radiation during an indefinite
period of time. It will be there
forever,” Ms. Kazakova said.
Alena lives in an orphanage
in Minsk and has a grandmoth-
er “she refers to quite often”,
but doesn’t speak of any fami-
ly, Ms. Kazakova added.
“I was aware of the program
some years ago,” said Mrs.
Farquhar. “I worked with the
Durham board of education
and three superintendents were
having children (stay with

Brenner
to Toronto:
Leaf us alone
BY SUSAN O’NEILL
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Former land-
fill sites in Pickering and Ajax
are reportedly being consid-
ered by the City of Toronto as
possible locations for a com-
posting facility.
Pickering Councillor Mau-
rice Brenner said the City of
Toronto, which owns the Brock
North landfill in Pickering and
the Brock South landfill in
Ajax, is looking into building a
leaf and yard waste compost-
ing facility on one of the sites.
And he maintained Durham
doesn’t want Toronto’s trash.
“Our understanding was it
would never be reopened,” he
said of the Brock North site,
located east of Sideline 16 be-
tween the Fifth Concession
Road and Hwy. 7.
The contents of the Brock
North landfill, which was used
as a temporary facility for
Toronto’s trash during a 1970s
garbage strike in that city, were
transferred to the Brock West
landfill in Pickering under a

Police seek help in
weeding out grass
DURHAM — Crime Stop-
pers and the Durham Regional Po-
lice are asking for the public’s as-
sistance in detecting outdoor mari-
juana cultivation locations.
Marijuana is grown in fields
alongside other legitimate crops,
often times without the knowledge
or consent of the landowners.
From the ground, it is concealed
from view by the surrounding
crops. However, from the air, it is
plainly distinguishable. A single
marijuana plant can produce a
quarter-pound of marijuana at ma-
turity, worth about $2,500 on the
street.
If you have any information as to
the location of a marijuana plant or
the persons responsible, call
Durham Regional Crime Stoppers.
Crime Stoppers will pay cash for
any information that leads to an ar-
rest. Callers never have to give
their name or testify in court and
Crime Stoppers does not use call
display. Call 905-436-8477 or 1-
800-222-TIPS (8477).
Teens attacked, robbed
AJAX — A 19-year-old man
and a youth are charged after two
teenagers were attacked and
robbed in an Ajax park last Friday.
Durham Regional Police said two
15-year-old boys were confronted
by a group of eight thugs, wearing
bandanas and riding bikes, while
walking in the park in the area of
Delaney and Pearce drives at 11
p.m.
One of the attackers was wield-
ing a two-foot-long steel chair leg.
They robbed one victim of a dollar
and ripped a gold chain from his
neck, and attacked his friend when
he refused to comply with their de-
mands.The boy was knocked to the
ground and kicked in the stomach,
police said.
Police were called and arrested
two suspects in the area a short
time later.
Michael Peasau, 19, of Raven-
scroft Crescent, is charged with
robbery, wearing a disguise with in-
tent and possession of a controlled
substance.
A 16-year-old boy, who under
the Young Offenders Act can’t be
named, is charged with robbery,
carrying a concealed weapon,
wearing a disguise, and posses-
sion of stolen property.

them). I really became quite
motivated last year.”
The Farquhars are re-
tired and have three grown
sons.
“Our lives are so mun-
dane and routine. We’re still
quite young to be retired.
We wanted to do something
helpful,” she said. “She’s a
joy with her activity. We’re
quite enjoying her compa-
ny.”
Alena has been with the
Farquhars for almost three
weeks and the language
barrier can be difficult at
times. “I talk as though she
can understand me. There
are signs and hand talk,”
Mrs. Farquhar said, adding
Alena knows pyjamas,
brushing her teeth and
when it’s time for bed.
Ms. Kazakova added,
“She imitates easily and
quickly. When she pro-
nounces English words, she
sounds good. She’s got a
musical ear.”
And, she notes, one
English word sure to put a
smile on Alena’s face is
‘Popsicle’.
What may be the high-
light so far for Alena was a
trip to Canada’s Wonder-
land with some of the other
children and host families.
“She went on 10 or 12
different rides. She did not
do any little kid’s stuff. It
was all big kid’s stuff,” Mrs.
Farquhar said.
Alena proudly displays a
Pikachu she won while
playing a water-gun game.
Other trips planned in-
clude the Toronto Zoo,
Centre Island and Cullen
Gardens.
On the shy side, Alena
would answer a reporter’s
questions with one word.
She likes Canada, especial-
ly the Farquhars pool, and
everything is good.
Anyone interested in
getting involved in the pro-
gram by hosting a child can
call the Farquhars at 905-
683-1097.

Durham Highlands ready for
colour, excitement this weekend
Heavy games, piping
competition, ceilidh
mark celebrations
BY LESLEY BOVIE
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Get ready to
paint the town tartan.
The sixth annual Highlands
of Durham Games returns to
Port Perry and Uxbridge July
27 to 29 with everything from
heavy events to traditional tat-
toos under its tam.
“This year we tried to have
more of everything — more
horses, more live entertain-
ment,” explained games com-
mittee chairman Stewart Ben-
nett.
New to the games is a pipe
band competition.
“It’s something we’re very
interested in pursuing,” said
Mr. Bennett. “Six of the seven
top bands in Ontario are com-
ing to compete.”
The games get under way
with the annual Tartan Classic
Charity Golf Tournament today
(Wednesday) at Royal Ashburn
Golf Club. The tournament
raises money for the Scugog
Memorial Public Library, the
Uxbridge Library and the
games.
The festivities continue with
the Great Blue Heron Tattoo
Friday, July 27 at the Carolyn
Best Memorial Diamonds on
Reach Street in Port Perry.
Gates open at 5:30 p.m., with
bands from Port Hope,
Cobourg, Uxbridge, Toronto,
Bowmanville, Lindsay, Hast-
ings and Highland Creek taking
part. The 78th Fraser High-
landers will also perform.
Then it’s off to Uxbridge’s
Elgin Park for two full days of
activities. A dart tournament,
Clydesdale show, heavy games,
cattle show, falconer, and high-
land dance competition are just
some of the planned events.
Halifax-based band ‘Sons of
Maxwell’ will perform Satur-
day during the day and at the
ceilidh Saturday night. Other
live performers include ‘Nicky
Tams’ and ‘KILT’.
Clans will find everything
from face painting to highland
dancing at the youth pavilion,
open both Saturday and Sunday
during the day. Help build a
Viking ship, the burning of
which will signify the end of
the games, or help piece togeth-
er the longest scarf from pieces
of tartan, with the goal of set-
ting a new Guinness World
Record.
Judy Seymour and Edith
Hawkins will be outfitting
young maidens with Celtic
flower garlands inspired by the
Feast of Beltane. Maidens
would dance around the may
pole with flowers in their hair
during the May festival, ex-
plained Ms. Seymour.
Admission is $10 for the tat-
too and $12 each day for the
games at Elgin Park. Advance
tickets are $10. All admission
includes free parking.

events, contact 1-888-253-

Young
officers get
taste of
police beat
BY CRYSTAL CRIMI
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Youth from around
Durham are getting the chance to be po-
lice officers with Durham Regional Po-
lice.
The Whitby junior police officer
program, which started July 9, is the
first of its kind for Durham Region and
one component of the Whitby Involved
in Neighbourhood Safety group. It was
developed by constables for 12-year-
olds with a focus on how to be good cit-
izens and understand how police keep
the community safe.
“What it does is allow them (youths)
to see the officers in a different light,”
said Inspector Greg Reid of Durham
Regional Police. “They’ve been really
excited. It’s all hands-on for them too so
they’ve been really enthusiastic.”
Three sessions of the $40 week-long
program are being held this year at the
Whitby Community Office. The class-
room-sized groups have already been
booked solid. Next year, police hope to
increase the number of participants and
weeks the program runs and also hire
police cadets for the summer to help run
it.
“We learn about all the police stuff
they do,” said Josh Devine, one of the
junior officers. “We went through phys-
ical-testing stuff like them and basically
what they do is teach us how to be a
cop.”
Josh had signed up for Whitby’s ju-
nior firefighter program, which has
been running for 28 years, when his
mother told him about the police officer
program. Another junior officer in train-
ing, James Fry, took home lots of inter-
esting information.
“The tactical use of force was most
interesting,” said James. “That’s how to
defend yourself... homework is the bor-
ing part.”
The youths get homework every
night and quizzes and tests every day on
what they learned. “We learn how fin-
gerprints are taken and court and all
that,” he said.
For more information about the ju-
nior police officer program, call Const.
Dean Bertrim at 905-579-1520 ext.
1842.
DURHAM —A group of
local motorcyclists are revving
up their engines for child abuse
prevention this month.
The ninth annual CAPPY
Ride for Kids, which hits the
road for London, Ont. Saturday,
July 28, is looking for partici-
pants.
It’s the first time Durham rid-
ers are taking part in the event,
which is sponsored by the
CAPPY club to raise awareness
and funding for Ontario charities
promoting the protection of chil-
dren and youth. CAPPY, which
stands for Child Abuse Preven-
tion and incorporates the club’s
canine mascot, invites a number
of different groups and organiza-
tions to take part. In Durham,
local riders are raising dollars for
child abuse prevention education
and scholarships, which are ad-
ministered through the Durham
Children’s Aid Society, but cur-
rently without funding, says
local ride organizer Bob Brozi-
na, a Scugog Island resident.
Durham riders will be leaving
from Country Style Donuts in
Manchester, just west of Port
Perry. Registration begins at
6:30 a.m. and departure is 8 a.m.
sharp.
Registration is $25 per partic-
ipant and $10 per passenger, or
free with sponsorships of $150
or more. Call 905-985-9003.

Durham Catholic board has reservations
No reserve funds to be
used for textbooks
BY MIKE RUTA
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Catholic
trustees Monday night rejected a
plan to tap into a reserve fund for
employees that would have provid-
ed more money to elementary
schools.
Oshawa Trustee Stan Kar-
wowski proposed the idea at the
June 25 Durham Catholic District
School Board meeting. He sug-
gested the board’s sick leave and
retirement gratuity plan reserve
fund be changed into a general re-
serve, which means the board
could spend the money as it sees
fit.
Following that move, he sug-
gested interest earned from the
fund over the last half of this year
be divided equally between
schools for textbooks and other re-
sources, at up to $5,000 per school.
A chartered accountant, Trustee
Karwowski said the money “will
help many children” in Durham
Catholic schools, where there’s not
enough funding to purchase all of
the required learning resources and
school councils are raising money
to buy them.
“There is something wrong in
our educational system if we have
to resort to fund-raising to provide
educational resources,” he said,
adding the problem is a provincial
one and not confined to the board.
Quoting the Education Act, a
staff report said money in a reserve
fund can only be used for the pur-
pose for which the fund was creat-
ed, unless permission is received
from the minister of education.
After some trustees spoke
against the motion, board chair-
man Fred Jones suggested it be
amended, qualified to read, “sub-
ject to the ministry’s approval”.
Oshawa Trustee Joe Corey re-
jected the motion because it would
violate ministry rules. He main-
tained his opposition after the
amendment. “We’ve got a whole
report here that talks about finan-
cial responsibility,” he said. “You
know how financially responsible
this board has been. I haven’t heard
the principals’ association coming
to the board and saying, ‘your bud-
geting is wrong; we need this and
that’. We’re going on one person’s
say so, with information supplied
by you, Stan, that our system is
wrong.”
Trustee Karwowski countered,
“I still think there’s a way we can
do the transfer without ministry of
education approval. I put this mo-
tion forward because I believe the
schools could use the resources.”
Whitby Trustee Mary Ann Mar-
tin didn’t agree with the premise of
the motion, that the board’s ele-
mentary schools don’t have
enough funds to buy resources.
School councils have always fund-
raised for extras and “that’s some-
thing that will always be”, she said,
noting many teachers don’t even
use textbooks anymore, relying on
the Internet and the library.
Trustee Martin was also un-
comfortable with tapping the re-
serve fund, as was Pickering
Trustee Fran Pereira.
“We shouldn’t start tinkering
with the funds now,” said Trustee
Pereira.
In two identical recorded
votes, trustees voted five to three
against Trustee Karwowski’s mo-
tion. Opposed were trustees Corey,
Martin, Pereira, Janice Oldman
(Ajax) and Scott Murdock (Whit-
by). Trustee Jones, the north
Durham representative, Pickering
Trustee Jim McCafferty and
Trustee Karwowski supported the
motion.

settlement between the two cities that
led to the closure of Brock West in
March 1997.
Coun. Brenner reported the City of
Pickering wanted Toronto to “surren-
der” a certificate of approval the City
has for waste management on the site
when the contents were transferred to
Brock West. However, he said Toronto
claimed they needed to retain that cer-
tificate to complete remedial work.
“Remedial work is not turning it
into a composting facility,” Coun.
Brenner said, noting Pickering has
taken a firm position on the fact it
doesn’t want any more garbage im-
ported into the municipality.
Coun. Brenner will ask his col-
leagues at Pickering’s Aug. 7 council
meeting to reaffirm its opposition “to
any consideration to reopen the former
Brock North landfill site”.
City of Toronto waste management
staff could not be reached for com-
ment.
However, in a July 10 letter to the
Ministry of the Environment, Picker-
ing’s chief administrative officer, Tom
Quinn, stated Toronto staff has indicat-
ed the Brock North site was being con-
sidered for a composting facility.
“The City of Pickering has many
concerns with this proposed use of the
site,” stated Mr. Quinn, who could not
be reached for comment this week as
he is currently on vacation. “The City
requires community and stakeholder
participation in such land use deci-
sions and is again the target of infra-
structure to serve people other than
residents of the City of Pickering or
Durham Region.”
Mr. Quinn has requested the min-
istry keep the City informed of any ac-
tion by Toronto to amend the certifi-
cate of approval and utilize the site.

PICKERING from page A1
DURHAM —The Region is hop-
ing the Province will heed its advice as
the Conservative government considers
changes to the definition of property
classes, says a Durham official.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty re-
cently extended the period of time for
MPP Marcel Beaubien to review the
government’s taxation policies.
“The Province wants to ensure that
current assessment methodologies and
property tax classifications are equi-
table for both taxpayers and municipal-
ities,” Mr. Flaherty said.
And, Paul Richards of Durham’s fi-
nance department said Durham is hop-
ing the Province will consider a series
of recommendations regarding the
need for change that the Region sub-
mitted in January.
“We have sent them a number of re-
ports,” Mr. Richards said Monday. “We
hope those items will get discussed.”
The Region’s recommendations in-
clude changing the definition of the
large industrial property class to in-
clude businesses of more than 300,000
square feet rather than the current
125,000 sq. ft. requirement; increasing
the requirement for the multi-residen-
tial class from properties with six apart-
ment units to those with 20 units; revis-
ing the definition of the shopping cen-
tre class; and allowing municipalities to
fully tax provincial institutions in their
jurisdictions based on assessed values.
Mr. Beaubien will be consulting
with individual taxpayers, industry or-
ganizations and municipal associations
in the coming weeks. His final report
will be submitted to the Province in
October.

Proud members of
In a bid to ensure there is never another Walkerton, the
provincial government is now proposing tough new water
management regulations to ensure clean rural supply sys-
tems.
In Durham Region, which has a sizable rural constituen-
cy, the new regulations would go a substantial way to mak-
ing that goal achievable.
The proposed rules would govern day-care centres, retire-
ment homes and social and health-care facilities that manage
their own water supply systems and which aren’t currently
required to comply with existing water protection regulations
announced last fall.
As well, provincial officials point out, these new rules are
aimed at protecting those most vulnerable to tainted water —
young children and the elderly.
If approved, the regulations would likely require more fre-
quent water sample tests at rural facilities to ensure a consis-
tently clean water supply.
Certainly rural facilities targeted in the new legislation
have already been managing and monitoring water supplies
effectively here at home in Durham Region. But this new leg-
islation will provide an additional measure of protection both
for those who drink water from rural systems and those who
monitor and manage them.
Further, the proposed changes could include a ‘good-be-
haviour’clause that would reduce the testing requirements if
a specific site shows consistently, over a period of time, that
clean and untainted water is being provided.
In all, these new proposals for both existing and future fa-
cilities in Durham Region will serve the public well. It will
require ongoing vigilance and a commitment both from the
public and the provincial government to ensure its success, as
well as the tools to comply effectively with the new regula-
tions.
There can never be another Walkerton. This latest propos-
al provides another example of the importance of providing
a reliable source of potable water — for everyone, every-
where.
Small is beautiful.
Those three words could sum up Prime Minister Jean
Chretien’s plan for the 2002 G-8 Economic Summit which
will be held in the tiny resort town of Kananaskis, Alta. The
ski site, located 60 kilometres west of Calgary, can hold just
350 people in total. Contrast that with the whopping 2,000
staff that showed up at this year’s just-completed summit in
Genoa, Italy. The United States brought 900 alone.
The key to taking the event to Kananaskis is to disrupt the
massive bloody, violent protests that have become a matter of
course when world leaders met over the past few years. Ot-
tawa and Edmonton had been proposed as summit sites but
were ruled out when it was clear security costs and violence
would be out of control.
A protester was killed in Genoa, many more were injured
and the ancient port city, hometown of Christopher Colum-
bus, was damaged to the tune of $40 million.
Mr. Chretien made it clear he won’t stand for the same an-
tics next summer.
“Burning cars, it’s not a demonstration, burning buildings
is not a demonstration. If the anarchists want to destroy
democracy, we will not let them succeed. We will make sure
that those who break the law will be punished,” he said.
As Mr. Chretien admitted, legitimate peaceful protest is
fine. In fact, it’s protected under the Canadian Charter of
Rights and Freedoms and under the U.S. Bill of Rights. Or-
ganized, fair-minded protests are acceptable to all concerned.
It’s when protesters turn violent and attempt to assault officers
and destroy property that problems arise.
There will likely be a mass protest in nearby Calgary and
one group is threatening that up to 20,000 protesters will
make their way to Kananaskis to make sure G-8 leaders feel
their presence. But it looks like going small is the right deci-
sion for future meetings.
Not surprisingly, U.S. President George W. Bush was in
the middle of several developments in Genoa. On the plus
side, it appears he and Russian President Vladimir Putin will
cut a deal to prevent another nuclear arms race. But it also ap-
pears President Bush will not back the Kyoto Accord to pre-
vent increased global warming. As scientists have warned for
years, unless world powers — all of those in the G-8 and
China and India among others — drastically reduce emis-
sions, all manner of global disasters are coming our way in
the next 100 years including floods, famines and more.
Unless there’s a concerted effort to cut emissions, we’ll all
suffer. That, and an attempt to help the world’s poorest na-
tions, must be a key element of the next G-8 summit.

There were no
sour notes on
Canada Day, just
sour grapes
To the editor:
Re: ‘Canada Day party hits sour
note,’letter to the editor, July 6.
I do believe Michaela Helli-
well has the right to express her
opinion. I take great exception,
however, to the headline.
Canada Day in Pickering has
been a great celebration for over
20 years. The band, County Jam-
boree, has performed at the event
over this entire time.
This year was no exception to
the blend of music we per-
formed, nor to the type of re-
sponse we received from the
crowd of over 20,000.
County Jamboree was started
here in Pickering nearly 25 years
ago as a vehicle to raise money
for the less fortunate in our com-
munity such as the Cystic Fibro-
sis Foundation, Big Brothers,
Easter Seals, the Canadian Cleft
Lip and Palate Family Associa-
tion and the Starlight Founda-
tion. Many minor local sports
teams have also received funds
raised from this band’s appear-
ances.
As lead singer, I nearly al-
ways co-ordinate the music and
this year was no different. We
started with ‘Wasn’t that a
Party’, recorded by our band in
the past along with the Irish
Rovers from Vancouver, B.C.,
followed by ‘Back to the Coun-
try’, a tune by Canadian Neil
Young.
As for the auctioneer song, I
started singing this song at the
age of 11 and played it at Expo
‘67 in Montreal and in 1970 at
the Calgary Stampede. We have
twice recorded ‘The Devil Went
Down to Georgia’, which along
with ‘Orange Blossom Special’
and some songs by Johnny Cash,
whose show we once opened in
Peterborough, are some of the
most requested songs we per-
form.
In 1983, we played at the
opening of the Pickering Recre-
ation Complex, and, later that
year, represented Pickering at
the Canadian National Exhibi-
tion.
In the past I have been asked
to play on Canada Day in other
cities but have declined because
we feel a part of our heritage
here in Pickering.
I personally do not receive
any remuneration for this perfor-
mance, but do feel proud to be a
10th generation Canadian and
from an Empire Loyalist family.
My special guest sang ‘Sweet
Home Alabama’.
My 14-year-old niece sang
the other song. In my opinion,
there were no sour notes, just
sour grapes.
Rick Johnson,
Pickering

An intimate setting
Canada coy about next year’s G-8 Summit
as it tries to minimize impact of protesters
If being an elected politician is
the thankless task some say it is,
why do so many of them want to
get back to it?
The latest to make the journey is
Greg Sorbara, a Liberal MPP for
10 years — minister under former
premier David Peterson and unsuc-
cessful candidate for leader after he
was defeated — who left in 1995 to
resume a business career saying he
felt he had done all he could for his
party.
Mr. Sorbara has now seized a
chance to win a byelection in his
old riding and become a hero. He
says he was attracted also by
thoughts of winning an election
and helping form a government
(the Liberals are ahead in polls and
he obviously would be a senior
minister) and returning to the place
where crucial issues are debated.
Mr. Sorbara follows in a long
tradition of MPPs attempting
comebacks. In the current legisla-
ture Liberal Richard Patten was
first elected in 1987, was also a
minister under Mr. Peterson, lost in
1990 in the New Democrat sweep,
but returned in 1995 when the NDP
was tossed out.
Another who came back is Pro-
gressive Conservative Morley
Kells, who was first elected as long
ago as 1981 and was briefly a min-
ister, but lost like most Tories in
1985 when the party generally de-
clined.
Mr. Kells shrewdly bided his
time and won again when times
were better for the Tories under
Mike Harris, but has never got
what he and many consider his
due, a cabinet post under Mr. Har-
ris, because when he feels his party
is on the wrong track, he tells the
world.
The champions at coming back
have been two New Democrats.
Evelyn Gigantes, a TV journalist,
first won in 1975 when women
were rare in the legislature. The
Tory government, it is now hard to
believe, had appointed the first
woman minister only a few years
earlier.
Mr. Gigantes showed a lot of
willingness to take on established,
greybeard Tories, but lost in 1981.
She came back in 1985, lost again
in 1987, but was re-elected in 1990
in time to be a minister when the
NDP at long last formed a govern-
ment under premier Bob Rae,
which was something a longtime
New Democrat would hate not to
be involved in.
The New Democrat who ri-
valled her for popping in and out of
the legislature like a delivery man
was David Warner, a teacher also
first elected in 1975 and first sent
packing in 1981. Mr. Warner was
back in 1985 and began his first
speech by observing “as I was say-
ing before I was rudely interrupt-
ed,” not original, but better humour
than often heard in the legislature.
Mr. Warner was kicked out for
the second time in 1987, but also
came back in 1990 and thus was a
respected Speaker in the first legis-
lature in which New Democrats
had a majority.
The most famous comeback
was by Tory Gordon Walker, who
lost his seat in 1975 and wrote a
memorable letter to Tory premier
William Davis, which became pub-
lic, complaining his constant gov-
ernment intervention was annoying
the public and hurting the party. It
was the first major warning some
in the party were fed up with its
centrist policies and wanted it to re-
treat to more conservatism.
The public was receptive, be-
cause Mr. Walker won back a seat
and his comeback was complete
when soulmate Mr. Harris became
premier. Mr. Walker was one of his
closest advisers and a leading fund-
raiser.
Among a lot of comeback at-
tempts that failed, Keith Norton
was a longtime Tory minister noted
for comparative generosity toward
the poorer-off, but lost when his
party faded in 1985.
Mr. Norton tried to get re-elect-
ed in 1990 and became the first
openly declared gay candidate for a
major party, but in unreceptive
times for the Tories, ran only third.
When Mr. Harris eventually be-
came premier, however, he ap-
pointed Mr. Norton human rights
commissioner, which many non-
Tories consider appropriate.
Albert Roy was one of the Lib-
eral party’s brightest stars, able to
spot issues and hurt the Davis gov-
ernment, when he left in the 1980s
to run federally but failed. He later
could not even get a nomination to
run again provincially, but a benev-
olent Liberal federal government
made him a judge.
Elmer Sopha, a Liberal and the
most entertaining orator of his day,
gave up his seat in Sudbury in 1971
disgusted by the backbiters in his
own party he called ‘a bunch of
hypocrites’. He changed his mind
and twice tried to get re-elected
and failed because the area had be-
come solidly NDP.
Half a dozen defeated Liberal
and NDP ministers have tried to get
back in the legislature in recent
elections and failed — they found
politics had changed and time
passed them by.

STANDING COMMITTEES
A NEW WAY OF DOING COUNCIL’S BUSINESS
The Council of the City of Pickering is considering
the establishment of a Standing Committee System
to replace the present Executive Committee System.
Basically, Council is considering the establishment
of three Standing Committees being the Planning
Committee, the Finance Committee and the
Operations Committee. It is proposed that these
Committees will meet on various Mondays
throughout the month and provide an opportunity to
allow residents to discuss issues more informally
with Members of Council. Council is proposing to
retain a Committee of the Whole to deal with
administrative items and matters of a broad corporate
interest.
A Public Meeting has been scheduled for Thursday,
July 26, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers
of the Pickering Civic Complex to hear any
comments from residents on the proposed Standing
Committee System.
A Discussion Paper, which provides more
information on the proposed Standing Committee
System, is available in the Clerk’s Division or will be
forwarded to you by calling 905-420-4611 or
sending an E-Mail request to
btaylor@city.pickering.on.ca.

On the
road to
more tire
recycling
‘Teaching old tires new
tricks’ headlines a pamphlet re-
cently distributed to auto service
dealers by the Ontario Tire Deal-
ers Association (OTDA).
The pamphlet demonstrates
your old tires could soon return
to benefit everyone as innovative
new products and materials. Ex-
amples show products such as
landing pads under playground
equipment; longer lasting alter-
native roofing materials; pails
and rakes; tire chips as a high-
way sub-base to provide im-
proved road settling and weight-
bearing characteristics with bet-
ter resistance to cold; and new
possibilities like telephones.
Did you know:
• About 14 million new pas-
senger car tires are sold every
year in Ontario, which means
about the same number are dis-
carded;
• Ontario is the only province
in Canada without a program de-
signed to protect dealers, con-
sumers, and the environment
from discretionary methods of
tire disposal; and
• Midnight tire jockeys oper-
ating outside the law are respon-
sible for dumping tires in fields
and barns thus creating numer-
ous environmental disasters
waiting to happen.
Many will remember the
mountain of 13,000,000 tires
near Hagersville that burned out
of control for 17 days belching
toxic fumes into the air. Illegal
and unethical stockpiling of tires
has resulted in no less than six
tire fires in Ontario from 1992 to
1999. As long as stockpiling is
tolerated, the threat of tire fires
as an environmental hazard will
continue to loom over Ontario
residents.
OTDA independent members
are working with the recycling
industry to ensure scrap tires are
recycled in exciting new ways.
Most independent tire dealers
are endeavouring to guarantee a
portion of the tire disposal fee
you pay helps to maintain safe
and proper tire disposal. You can
learn more about the serious
scrap tire situation in Ontario by
visiting www.otda.com.
In Nova Scotia, on Jan. 2,
1997, the Used Tire Manage-
ment Program began collecting
used tires for recycling. Now, all
used tires that are left with regis-
tered tire retailers (about 900)
are diverted from disposal sites.
Removing tires from these sites
reduces waste and removes a po-
tential fire and health hazard.
Nova Scotia is leading Canada
in diverting solid waste from dis-
posal through a provincewide
program of recycling and com-
posting. The growth of environ-
mental industries in Nova Scotia
also leads the Canadian average.
Locally, tires are not collect-
ed at curbside.
To ensure your tires get recy-
cled, check that your local
garage mechanic will accept
them. A fee of $1.50 per tire is
charged. If you take them to the
Miller Waste Durham transfer
station on Squires Beach Road
you get charged approximately
$6.00 (by weight) for four un-
rimmed tires but they are not
picked up or delivered for recy-
cling from this facility.
Tires do not belong in land-
fill. Help support the recycling
of tires.
It’s a jungle out there. Well,
not really: it’s worse than a
jungle. It’s a stretch of road-
way anywhere in Canada and
in place of rampaging animals
are your friends and neigh-
bours and co-workers, that
nice lady from the church aux-
iliary and the cheerful kid who
bags your food at the local
food store - even Mom and
Dad and Buddy and Sis.
They’re in a hurry. And you’re
in their way. So step on it or
face that modern age phenom-
enon: road rage.
Despite our reputation for
meekness, when it comes to
boorish road behaviour, Cana-
dians aren’t taking a back seat
to our neighbours to the south.
A recent study of 173 Ameri-
can drivers and 111 Canadians
found 27 per cent of us
Canucks have made an insult-
ing gesture (guess which one)
to another driver versus 18 per
cent of Americans.
Of the Canadians surveyed,
21 per cent have deliberately
cut off another driver (15 per
cent of the Americans have
done it) and 22 per cent have
chased another car in hot pur-
suit (versus just 2 per cent of
Americans). And 5 per cent of
Canadians have gotten into a
physical fight over driving,
versus 2 per cent of American
respondents.
These statistics probably
come as no surprise to the On-
tario Provincial Police (OPP)
which patrols the province’s
highways. As many as 500
people per week complain to
them about aggressive drivers
who wave pistols, shake fists
and chase other vehicles at
high speeds. In response,
they’ve developed a unit de-
voted to aggressive drivers,
called Highway Rangers,
whose mandate is to promote
safety in the Greater Toronto
Area by enforcement, educa-
tion and public awareness of
road rage.
They have countless road
rage stories to tell. Earlier this
year Whitby OPP charged four
tow truck operators after they
chased a hit-and-run driver
from Toronto to Durham. The
“road rage” chase up the Don
Valley and along Hwy. 401
reached speeds of 140 km/h,
all because the motorist al-
legedly clipped the side view
mirror of a tow truck and fled.
Recently, again on the high-
way in Ajax, during the
evening rush hour, a motorist
was so incensed when he was
cut off by a tractor trailer that
he threw a water bottle strik-
ing the truck’s door.
Both parties pulled over to
the shoulder of the highway,
and the tractor trailer nearly
rearended an OPP cruiser
stopped for an unrelated traffic
investigation. The enraged dri-
vers exited their vehicles
yelling and waving their arms
at each other. The officers had
to separate the two men and
calm them down.
“If you become involved in
a road rage incident, the best
thing to do is to remain in your
vehicle and call the police and
an officer will attend to assist,”
says Const. Julia McCuaig of
Whitby OPP.
“Aggressive driving is a re-
sult of people’s frustration, ei-
ther with the increase in road
traffic or with society in gen-
eral,” says Const. John
Dorsch, a 12-year veteran of
Durham Regional Police, the
last three with the Traffic
Management Unit.
“I’ve noticed people are not
as relaxed on the roads as be-
fore.”
Const. Dorsch advises in a
road rage situation to slow
down and let the other driver
go ahead. “Don’t engage in a
verbal confrontation,” he says.
One U.S. motorist has
found a novel approach to
calming down a road rager.
She carries in her car at all
times a “sorry” sign she flash-
es when she inadvertently pro-
vokes another driver. “I’ve
found it’s very effective in
warding off anger,” she said.
Her insight is borne out by a
survey that showed over 85 per
cent of road ragers said they
would drop the matter if the
other “careless” driver simply
apologized.
But most obviously don’t
and continue on their way.
Canadian computer program-
mer Ken Bodnar got so fed up
with drivers cutting him off
and fleeing the scene that he
created the “Database of Un-
safe Driving,” or DUD.
His Web site allows anyone
who feels victimized by care-
less drivers to post the licence
plate number of the offending
vehicle, along with a descrip-
tion of the offensive behav-
iour. So far, he has received
entries from as far away as
Australia to Virginia.
Here’s a sampling:
From Ontario: “Makes a U-
turn in the middle of a busy
street, holding up traffic. Then
cuts across a lane, recovers
and cuts a few more cars off.
Gives the finger to indignant
motorists behind him.”
From somewhere in Cana-
da: “He cut across four lanes
of freeway traffic to get to an
off-ramp. When I finally
passed him, he had a newspa-
per or a map spread out over
the steering wheel and across
the lower half of the wind-
shield.”
Mr. Bodnar said he created
the Web page “to give the av-
erage Joe a way to vent his
rage - use the computer in-
stead of the car.”
A main reason for short
tempers, of course, is there are
17 per cent more cars in Amer-
ica than there were 10 years
ago, while the number of dri-
vers is up more than 10 per
cent.
More to the point according
to studies: the number of miles
driven has increased 35 per
cent since 1987, while only 1
per cent more roads have been
built.
But as the quantity of cars
has risen, the nature of the
problem has changed qualita-
tively as well, experts say.
Maybe the congestion is mak-
ing everyone cranky. North
Americans are famously at-
tached to their cars; it’s just
the driving they can’t stand.
“Driving and habitual road
rage have become virtually in-
separable,” says Leon James, a
professor of psychology at the
University of Hawaii who spe-
cializes in the phenomenon.
He cites a major Michigan
study that found an astounding
80 per cent of drivers are
angry most or all of the time
while driving.
Simple traffic congestion is
one cause of irritation, but
these days just about anything
can get the average driver to
tap his horn.
More than one-third of re-
spondents to the Michigan sur-
vey said they get impatient at
stoplights or when waiting for
a parking space; an additional
25 per cent can’t stand waiting
for passengers to get in the car.
And 22 per cent said they get
mad when a multi-lane high-
way narrows.
Despite these numbers,
U.S. author Michael Fumento
is claiming there isn’t the least
statistical or other scientific
evidence of more aggressive
driving on the roads.
He cites figures that show
accident, fatality and injury
rates have been edging down.
There is no evidence, he says,
that “road rage” or an aggres-
sive-driving “epidemic” is
anything but a media inven-
tion, inspired primarily by
something as simple as memo-
rable alliteration.
He suggests the term was
presumably based on “roid
rage,” referring to sudden vio-
lent activity by people on
steroids.
The term, and the alleged
epidemic, were quickly popu-
larized by lobbying groups,
politicians, publicity-seeking
safety agencies, and the U.S.
Department of Transportation,
he says.
However, the proof’s in the
driving. Sure, road rage isn’t
always dramatic or violent but
is there anyone who hasn’t
been forced to get out of the
way of an impatient driver
who’s flashing his lights be-
hind them?
“Aggressive driving is now
the most common way of dri-
ving,” says Sandra Ball-
Rokeach of the University of
Southern California, who’s
studied the phenomenon ex-
tensively. “It’s not just a few
crazies - it’s a subculture of
driving.”
Road-rage experts have
come up with various solu-
tions to the anarchy of our
streets and highways. We
could legislate it (lower speed
limits, build more roads to re-
lieve congestion), adjudicate it
(more highway cops, stiffer
penalties), regulate it (more
elaborate licensing proce-
dures) or educate it away
(mandatory driver’s ed). Oth-
ers suggest a typically new
millennium solution: therapize
it.
“The road-rage habit can be
unlearned,” says the aforemen-
tioned Mr. James, “but it takes
more than conventional dri-
ver’s ed.” He advocates teach-
ing “emotional intelligence”
as part of any thorough driver
training: how to “deal with
hostility expressed by drivers”
and “how to be accepting of
diversity and how to accom-
modate it.”
He calls for a new driver’s
ed program from kindergarten
on - to teach “a spirit of co-op-
eration rather than competi-
tion.”
These, he says, would be
“small groups of people meet-
ing regularly together to dis-
cuss their driving problems
and help one another do dri-
ving-personality makeovers.”
Will it work? A better ques-
tion might be: Do we want it
to? Road-rage therapists come
perilously close to calling for
a transformation of the North
American character - remak-
ing our highly individualistic
country into a large-scale ver-
sion of a 1960’s commune
where everyone recycles, lis-
tens to whale music and eats
whole grains.
Is that really what we want?
For all its dangers, road rage
may simply be a corruption of
those qualities that North
Americans have traditionally,
and rightly, admired: tenacity,
energy, competitiveness, hus-
tle - something, in other
words, to be contained and
harnessed by etiquette and so-
cial censure rather than eradi-
cated outright.
Until then, alas, anyone
braving the streets and high-
ways of North America would
be well-advised to employ a
technique older than therapy:
prayer.
Driving is all the rage
Cures for Road Rage Offered by Experts:
• Leave yourself enough time. Don’t rush.
• Call ahead if you’re running late.
• Never drive if you are angry or tired.
• If possible, change your schedule to avoid rush-hour driving.
• Listen to relaxing music.
• Make your vehicle as comfortable as possible.
• Be courteous. Give others the benefit of the doubt.
Tips on How to Avoid Enraging Other Drivers:
• Always use your turn signal and leave plenty of room when you merge into traffic.
• Let other drivers pass you.
• Allow sufficient following distances (minimum 2 seconds in a car, 6 seconds in a tractor-trailer,
longer if driving on wet or icy roads).
• Do not use your horn to display anger.
• Keep your hands on the wheel, and avoid making gestures to other drivers.
• Don’t make eye contact with angry drivers.
• If you believe an angry driver is following you, call the police. Or go to a well-lit public place and
do not get out. Do not drive home.
More and more motorists are losing their cool out there and police departments have their
hands full trying to keep the peace.

Man injured in
explosion arrested
at shopping centre
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM —A man seri-
ously injured in a recent explo-
sion inside a Bowmanville
barn is now charged with pos-
sessing bomb-making materi-
als.
Police suspect the man was
building a pipe bomb in the
Lamb’s Road barn on July 13
when it suddenly exploded,
severing a major artery in his
arm.
Ambulance attendants had
requested police assistance in
dealing with the patient, who
was bleeding profusely and
unco-operative following the
blast.
The 28-year-old man was
taken to Lakeridge Health
Bowmanville and transferred
to St. Michael’s Hospital in
Toronto.
Last Friday he walked out
of the hospital without being
discharged and a warrant was
issued for his arrest. He faces
two counts of possession of
explosive substances. The in-
vestigation continues and
other charges are possible, po-
lice said.
On Saturday an off-duty
Durham Regional Police offi-
cer spotted him at the Oshawa
Centre shopping mall, where
he was taken into police cus-
tody.
He was brought to Lak-
eridge Health Oshawa to have
his injury examined and later
turned back over to police.
Police said a search of the
barn turned up explosive de-
vices in various stages of con-
struction, including a pipe
bomb that was detonated by
the explosives disposal unit.
Detective Larry Lunn of
Clarington’s 16 Division said
masking tape, bundles of
wiring, empty canisters of
gunpowder and small flash-
lights were also seized during
the investigation as alleged
“bomb-making materials”.
Although well-known to
police, the man has no known
links to any criminal organiza-
tion and detectives have no
idea what the bombs were for.
“That’s still the $64,000
question. There’s nothing to
tie him to any criminal groups
or anarchist activities, which
obviously was a concern. No
one we’ve spoken to so far has
been able to shed any light,”
Det. Lunn said.
The man, originally from
Pickering, has lived at a num-
ber of addresses in Durham
and Toronto and recently re-
turned to Ontario after being
out west.
He had permission to stay
in a camper on the property
while in the area.
Based on the history of the
case, police were suspicious of
a cellphone seized from the
man during his arrest. It was
removed to the rear of police
headquarters in Oshawa and
detonated, but was not an ex-
plosive device.
Joel West, of no fixed ad-
dress, was to appear in provin-
cial court Tuesday for a bail
hearing. The Crown is seeking
his detention.
Anyone with information is
asked to call detectives at 905-
579-1520, ext. 1691.
Bomb-making charges follow Durham blast
But, Boodram,
Martin gain valuable
experience from
world youth
championships
BY AL RIVETT
Sports Editor
PICKERING —Running
against a world-class field in
her first foray into internation-
al track and field proved un-
nerving for one of two local
athletes at a major competition
in Hungary.
Shannon Boodram and Paul
Martin, both 16, joined 15
other Canadian athletes at the
World Youth Track and Field
Championships in Debrecen,
Hungary July 12 to 15.
Boodram, who’ll enter
Grade 11 this fall at Picker-
ing’s St. Mary Catholic Sec-
ondary School, ran for Canada
in the 400-metre hurdles as
well as on a relay team. Mean-
while, Martin, who’ll enter
Grade 12 at Pine Ridge Sec-
ondary School in Pickering,
competed in the high jump and
was an alternate on Canada’s
relay team.
Boodram admitted the pres-
sure and her inexperience cost
her dearly at the champi-
onships, as she finished near
the back of the pack. And, the
teen didn’t pull any punches in
assessing her performance.
“It didn’t go so well; I
choked. My 400-metre hurdles
went really badly. I just tight-
ened up,” said Boodram.
The butterflies subsided
while taking part in the med-
ley relay event, helping Cana-
da to a sixth-place finish. She
noted, however, the Canadians
could have possibly been in a
medal position in the event if a
competitor had not cut her off
toward the end of her portion
of the race.
“I was cut off, but what can
I do. I was running third at the
time. I’m over it now; it’s
OK,” said Boodram, a hint of
frustration still lingering in her
voice.
But, don’t get the idea it
was all bad for Boodram. She
said the meet was organized to
perfection for the athletes,
who were treated well by their
Hungarian hosts.
“I wouldn’t have traded
(the experience) for anything.
It was so great. There were
(athletes from) 184 countries
there, so I met so many differ-
ent people. It was really, really
interesting,” she said.
While returning to Canada,
the team members missed a
connecting flight from Paris to
Newark, New Jersey, so they
had an unexpected entire day
to explore Paris.
As for Martin, he finished
13th in the high jump qualify-
ing round. His leap of 1.95
metres put him just outside the
top 12 jumpers who advanced
to the final.
The result was mildly dis-
appointing for Martin who has
jumped a personal best of 2.04
metres, which would have
been more than enough to
place him in the final at the
worlds.
“I felt pretty good at the be-
ginning, but I was a little dis-

is on track for the biggest meet of
the year after a golden showing at
the Francophone Games in Ottawa
and Hull, Que. last weekend.
Felicien earned a spot on the
podium after finishing first in the
100-metre hurdles final at Ottawa’s
Terry Fox Stadium Friday evening.
She ran a
strong race,
winning in
a time of
12.92 sec-
onds to eas-
ily beat out
Patricia
Buval of
France,
who fin-
ished in
13.02 sec-
onds. Na-
dine
Fanstin of
Haiti, who
had edged
Felicien in
a semifinal
heat, fin-
ished third
in 13.05.
Another Canadian, Angela Whyte,
finished fourth in 13.09.
The Canadian Olympian and
member of the University of Illinois
Fighting Illini women’s track and
field team easily qualified for the
final by finishing second in the first
of two semifinal heats last Thursday.
Felicien finished in a time of 13.13
seconds.
Felicien’s winning time was off
her personal best of 12.73. That
mark was set at the Big Ten Confer-
ence Outdoor Track and Field
Championships where she set a new
meet record and also established a
new school record.
Felicien is now setting her sights
on next month’s World Track and
Field Championships in Edmonton.
Despite falling
and failing to
make the final
of 100m hurdles
at the Canadian
championships
last month, Fe-
licien was
added to the
Canadian team
for the worlds
based on her
outstanding
times and per-
formances on
the track earlier
this year.
The Fran-
cophone Games
bring together
athletes from
French-speak-
ing nations for
the world-class
event. Along
with athletics,
cultural compe-
titions also
highlight the
Games.

After opening-round
loss, Pickering
under-nine boys
score 3-1 win in Ajax
tournament final
PICKERING — The Pickering
Power Carpet Towne under-nine
boys’ soccer team relied on outstand-
ing defensive work to post a champi-
onship-winning effort at the recent
Ajax tournament.
Backed by the strong goalkeeping
of McKenzie Smith, who allowed
only five goals in four tournament
games, the Pickering Power boys
turned the tables on the Ajax Warriors
‘A’ squad 3-1 in the final. Ajax had
beaten Pickering during preliminary-
round action.
Ajax opened the scoring early in
the final, but the Pickering boys did-
n’t quit. They rebounded for three
unanswered goals to take the tourney
crown. Maclin Crawford, Blake Fras-
er and Cameron Halsall scored for
Pickering.
The defensive work of Jonathon
Horlock was pivotal in the final.
Smith was named the most valu-
able player of the tournament.
Pickering powered out of the gates
with a decisive 5-1 win over
Uxbridge in the first game of the
tourney.
Christopher Raguseo notched
three goals to lead the charge, while
Crawford and Fraser added one
apiece. Greg Fowler, Anthony Gugli-
etti and Andrew Macpherson played
well on defence to keep Uxbridge
from mounting many serious scoring
threats.
In the second game, Pickering
dropped a close 3-2 decision to the
Ajax Warriors ‘A’ squad.
Crawford and Chris Stewart
scored for Pickering. Forwards Scott
Lyons and Alexander Casey played
well in the losing cause.
Pickering, however, bounced back
in the third game to record a 5-0 win
over Scarborough United to earn a
spot in the final.
Crawford scored twice, Halsall,
Brandon Grant-Hurley and Fraser
added one apiece.
The team is coached by Domminic
Raguseo and Rocky Guglietti. The
manager is Steve Stuart and the
goalie coach is Jeff Fowler.

appointed because I didn’t jump my
best. But, just being there at the
worlds was a good experience. It felt
good to be competing against the
best in the world,” he said.
Boodram and Martin note the set-
backs they suffered in Hungary will
spur them to train harder and do bet-
ter in the future.
“It only gives you the incentive to
really be the best,” she said. “It was
practice, like a stepping stone. I feel
I’ll be ready next time.”
Added Martin: “It will help me to
train harder. Even though I’m one of
the best (junior high jumpers) in
Canada, there are other athletes in
the world who are better.”

Local group’s latest single climbs
to top of MTV, Much Music charts
AJAX —Good news and plenty of musical
accolades continue to add up for Ajax pop/alter-
native rockers Sum 41.
The four-piece band of Ajax residents Deryck
Whibley, 21, (aka Bizzy D, guitarist and vocal-
ist), Steve Jocz, 19, (aka Stevo32, drummer),
Dave Baksh, 20, (aka Brown Sound, guitarist and
vocalist) and Jason McCaslin, 20, (aka Cone,

acts in the U.S. after delivering its latest album

Last week, the group’s first video ‘Fat
Lip/Pain for Pleasure’from the disc, a product of
recording company Island/Def Jam, sat in the top
position on MTV’s ‘Total Request Live’ as of
July 23. The video has knocked out videos from
such high-profile artists as Jennifer Lopez, Mari-
ah Carey, ‘N Sync and the Backstreet Boys for
the coveted perch. The band was also No. 1 on
Much Music’s video list.
Questioned by ‘Amanda’ on the band’s Web
site (www.sum41.com) July 17 about the video’s
success on the popular MTV show, ‘Cone’ an-
swered: “We were excited to know that we final-
ly kicked out the boy bands, although they beat
us today I think. One day is worth it.”
Since the release of ‘All Killer No Filler’ the
band has been touring non-stop. They recently
completed MTV’s Campus Invasion Tour from
March through early May and are currently on
the ‘Vans Warped Tour 2001’, which has them
playing the southern U.S. through much of July
and early August. Earlier, the band was in Europe
where they performed in such locales as London,
England and Germany.
They are set to touch down in Toronto at the
Molson Amphitheatre with headliners Blink 182
at Edgefest 8 on Aug. 25, according to the band’s
Web site. They’ll also play SkyDome as part of
the ‘Warped’tour Aug. 11. The tour will end Oct.
15 at the Coors Amphitheater in Chula Vista,
California.
Among the band’s other recent triumphs:
• Will be among a list of who’s who of the
music world at MTV’s 20th anniversary bash,
‘MTV20: Live and Almost Legal’. The program
will air live from the Hammerstein Ballroom in
New York City Aug. 1 at 8 p.m. Sharing the stage
with Sum 41 will be headliner Mariah Carey, as
well as Run-DMC, Mary J. Blige and a host of
other top acts;
• Graced the cover of this month’s Chart Mag-
azine, along with a feature interview titled, ‘Sum
41 bleed for rock ‘n’ roll’. Shot for its obvious
shock value, the cover photo shows Whibley
carving the words ‘Sum 41’ with a razor blade
into the chest of Jocz while the drummer is re-
strained by McCaslin and Baksh; and
• Late last month, Sum 41 shot ‘In Too Deep’,
the followup video to ‘Fat Lip/Pain for Pleasure’.
As in the first video spawned from the CD, the
band asked a number of fans to be part of the pro-
duction, shot in the Los Angeles area. Reported-
ly, the video is a send-up of the Rodney Danger-
field movie ‘Back to School’ where the Ajacians
play members of a diving team competing
against a group of jocks.
“We certainly weren’t the cool kids when we
were in high school,” said Jocz, as quoted in a
story on the MTV Web site. “We didn’t get along
with any of the jocks. There are always the cool
dudes and the nerds, and we were the nerds.”
The video, reported the MTV site, is ready to
be aired, but won’t hit the small screen until ‘Fat
Lip/Pain for Pleasure’ has run its course.
Other Sum 41 news:
• ‘Fat Lip’ will be featured on a compilation
CD for the soundtrack of the teen movie ‘Amer-
ican Pie 2’ due to be released later this summer.
Tracks from Blink 182 and Green Day will also
be featured on the disc.
• The CD ‘All Killer No Filler’ has reached
gold sales status in the U.S. and Canada. The
band’s current CD is its second, debuting at the
number-23 spot on the Billboard top 200 albums.
It is a followup to its 2000 release ‘Half Hour of
Power’.
• The band was featured on the ‘new faces’
page of venerable U.S. music magazine Rolling
Stone on July 5. The four are quoted on every-
thing from their musical influences to their
favourite snack foods in the article, which also
provides information on the growth of the band
since its formation in the summer of 1996.
• Sum 41 is up for two MTV Awards, nomi-
nated in the ‘viewers’choice’category as well as
in the ‘MTV2’ category. Both categories allow
viewers of the U.S. music TV stations to vote for
the winners.

ASK VIC THE PROFESSIONAL
QUESTION: I have had trouble starting my engine and have recently replaced the battery and alternator but the car still will not start. After the car sits overnight, unless it receives a boost from another
car’s battery with a set of booster cables. What could be causing the problem?
ANSWER: Since you have already replaced the battery and alternator and by the symptoms that you have mentioned regarding your engine’s failure to start, the trouble is most likely a parasitic battery drain that is slowly
discharging your battery overnight. A competent technician with a quality multi-meter will be able to diagnose the root cause of the battery drain by disconnecting a battery cable and connecting the multi-meter in series between the
battery cable and battery terminal to measure the amount of amperes of electricity that are being consumed by electrical components with the ignition key removed and all noticeable electronic accessories turned off. Electronic
components, such as the stereo, clock, on-board computer for fuel injection and body computer may consume a minute quantity of electrical charge in their dormant state for electronic memory, but if excessive, some of the
electronic devices draining the battery. The technician will simply isolate the drain by allowing time for the body computer to power down (If so equipped), then pull fuses or disconnect electronic devices, one at a time until the
drain is discovered. (The reading on the meter will drop immediately when the faulty component is disconnected from the electrical system). Corrective action can now be effected to enable our car to start normally every morning!

ou cheer for Tiger Woods or
Phil Mickelson or the latest
Spanish wizard with the buggy-
whip swing and boyish charm.
Me, I pull for Neal Lancaster.
You are thrilled by the golf of
Woods-Mickelson-Buggy-whip. Me, I
am thrilled anytime Lancaster is around
and I have a notebook in my hand.
Redneck Lancaster goes by Cuz,
which is short for Cousin. He is called
Cuz because he calls just about every-
one Cuz. It fits someone from rural
North Carolina who makes Jeff Fox-
worthy seem vanilla.
You know him as the guy who shot
not one but two 29s in the U.S. Open.
I know him as the funniest man on the
PGA Tour.
I am partial to characters, and
Neal Lancaster is a 24-karat charac-
ter. He is the fast-talking, comedic
hillbilly from far out in the country.
He is the second-best quote on the
PGA Tour,and he’s second only be-
cause salty Fulton “Cuzzy’’ Allem
happens to play the PGA Tour.
Cuz is the guy who once hit on
a woman in a bar, danced with her
often that night and ended up
marrying her daughter. That is
believed to be an unofficial PGA
Tour record.
Any minute spent with Cuz is a
60-second laugh track. The recent
Advil Western Open provided
more of the same. The Western,of
course, was a British Open quali-
fying site this year. Before the
tournament, I bumped into Lan-
caster and asked, “Are you going
to the British if you finish high
enough here?”
“Yeah, man,” Cuz shot back
in that quick drawl. “That’s my
kind of tournament. Everybody
gets drunk and don’t eat. I’d do
pretty good there.”
Cuz says his favorite movie is
“Slapshot” because the Hanson
brothers are “kinda like me.”
Cuz says he once told his
mama he wanted to be a garbage man when
he grew up “because they only work on Tues-
day and Thursday. That’s the only days they
pick up our trash.”
Cuz fired his caddie this year at Hilton
Head because the
caddie called him
a “Tour bottom
feeder.” Cuz told
the caddie, “I
know that’s true,
but you can’t say it
to me. So you’re
fired.”
On his way to
the Canadian Open
as a Tour rookie in
1990, Cuz got on
an airplane headed
for Ontario, Calif.,
instead of Ontario,Canada. He realized some-
thing was wrong when people boarding the
plane were wearing warm-weather clothes
and the guy next to him was talking about go-
ing to the beach.
“We going to Canada, ain’t we?” Cuz
asked the man.
“No, California,” the man answered.
“Shoot,I’m on the wrong plane,”Cuz said
before getting off the plane.
In the first round of this year’s Western,
Cuz “cold-shanked” a 2-iron into the right
trees and made a bogey 6 on the 15th. He fin-
ished with 74 and already was thinking about
having another weekend off. You think that
way when you’re outside the top-130 on the
money list.
“At least I get to watch the race (Pepsi 400)
this weekend,” Cuz said, smiling.
Not everyone is in a good mood when they
stand nine strokes back after 18 holes en route
to missing the cut. But Cuz was unfazed. He
laughed it off and told some stories and talked
of how he’s perceived. After more than 11
Tour seasons, in which he has finished be-
tween 58th and 142nd in earnings, he knows
how other players view him.
“They all think I’m wacko because I like to
have a good time,” he said. “But I figure if
you’re going to do it bad, you might as well
do it bad and have fun.”
In late June at the Buick Classic, Cuz de-
cided to have some fun, Tommy Bolt-style.
On the third hole of the second round, Cuz
was 9 over par and certain to miss the 36-hole
cutoff. So he told his caddie, “You better start
taking the clubs from me because I’m going
to start breakin’ ’em. I’m not mad, but I just
want to get rid of them and get some different
clubs to try to change my luck.”
So after hitting his approach to the third
green, Cuz broke his 9-iron over his knee.
“Just snapped it,” he recalled, smiling.
After chipping out of trouble on the
fourth hole, Cuz broke his pitching wedge
over his knee. “Just snapped it,” he recalled,
smiling.
After topping a 5-wood second shot from
the left rough on the fifth hole, Cuz broke the
shaft over his knee. “Just snapped it,” he re-
called, smiling.
Finally, Cuz turned to his caddie and said,
“Look, why don’t you break one. It might
change your luck, too.”

HOW MUCH IS
TOO MUCH?
For those who think
there is too much golf on
television — the Forecad-
die isn’t in that number, by
the way — you might be
chagrined to know there
always can be more.
The Forecaddie heard
speculation that the next
consideration for cable
channels just might be to
broadcast Wednesday’s
pro-am rounds on the
PGA Tour. And who
knows? There might even
be a market for all the
practice rounds of major
championships.
“If Tiger is there,” one
television source said,
“I’m not sure why you
wouldn’t point the cam-
era. People would watch
it, and it would be great
because of the games go-
ing on between the guys.
That would be the most
fun, with the betting and
the laughing and gig-
gling.”
What’s next? Laugh
tracks?
WHAT’S IN A
NAME?
The Forecaddie found
out at Loch Lomond in
Scotland just how easy it
is to rewrite the course of
history, or at least the Eu-
ropean Tour’s version.
The Scottish Open
used to be called the Stan-
dard Life Loch Lomond,
before that the Gulfstream
Loch Lomond World Invi-
tational, and in the first
year simply the Loch
Lomond World Invitation-
al.
Seems the money
Gulfstream and Standard
Life poured into the tour-
nament counts for noth-
ing. It was announced this
year that the five previous
winners — Thomas Bjorn,
Tom Lehman, Lee West-
wood, Colin Montgomerie
and Ernie Els — were ac-
corded the title Scottish
Open Champion retroac-
tively.
No problem there, ex-
cept now the new Euro-
pean Tour history books
will show that there were
two Scottish Open cham-
pions in 1996. Ian Woos-
nam won the Scottish
Open at Carnoustie that
year and then Bjorn won
the Loch Lomond World
Invitational. Maybe they
could toss a coin to see
who takes the title out-
right.

Not hitting many greens in regulation? You’re in good com-
pany. Although it may seem as if tour players stick it close to
the pin on every approach shot, they’re averaging only about 13
greens in regulation per round. So what’s their secret to saving
par? Practice, practice and more practice.
These easy drills are designed to improve consistency and
accuracy — the cornerstones of a solid short game. Practice
them for at least 20 minutes a day for two or three weeks, then
compare your scores.
PITCHING
A common mistake is to pitch with your arms and hands
only,failing to make a torso turn. This throws off your timing
and causes mis-hits. To make sure your hands,arms and torso
turn back and through as one unit,place a headcover under your
right arm and pitch without letting it fall.
Many players fail to take into account the roll of the ball
once it hits the green. Envision the shot’s trajectory to deter-
mine how far the ball will roll on the putting surface, then pick
a landing area accordingly. Your target should be the size of a
golf towel. To practice, place a towel on the green, short of the
pin, and try landing pitches on it. Once you do so consistently,
remove the towel and continue to pitch, watching your shots
roll toward the hole.
SAND SHOTS
There are two secrets to a greenside bunker shot: Don’t
quit at the bottom of your swing arc, and pick a target (not the
pin — the ball will roll past it). Place a large range bucket on
the green short of the pin and hit shots into it. Measure your
success by keeping track of how many shots land in the bucket.
Another way to break the habit of quitting at impact: Us-
ing a rake handle, draw a long line in a bunker. Imagining that
you’ve placed balls all along the line, set up at its start and
make a swing, hitting the line and splashing sand out of the
bunker. Repeat 10 times in quick succession, moving forward a
step along the line each time you set up.
CHIPPING
Learn to envision how the ball will react on the green by
placing a small interim target — say, a handful of tees — a few
feet inside the fringe. Chip to that target with different clubs,
observing what each ball does when it lands. Next, choose the
club that chipped the balls closest to the tees and hit three more
balls. Then, as if saving par, try holing all three putts consecu-
tively.
In chipping, a common mistake is to decelerate on the
downswing. To learn to accelerate through the shot, lay your
golf bag about two feet in front of you and chip over it. Keep a
smooth tempo as you accelerate, allowing the clubface to loft
the ball over the bag.
PUTTING
When setting up,your eyes should be directly over the ball
for good balance. To ensure you’re in the proper position:Tie a
3-inch nail to each end of a 6-foot piece of string. Stick one nail
into the ground 2 feet beyond the cup and extend the string 4 feet
in front of the hole,so the string bisects the cup and doesn’t rest
on the ground. Set up with your ball beneath the string (it should
appear as if the string is cutting through the middle of the ball),
then practice holing 3-footers.
Your goal should always be to walk off the green with no
worse than a two-putt. To develop good distance control on
your first putt so you leave yourself a tap-in on the second, turn
a range bucket upside down over the hole and try to hit it with
at least three balls in a row.
