Durham MPPs stack cabinet
BY MIKE RUTA, CHRISTY
CHASE AND NATALIE
MILLER
Staff Writers
DURHAM —When it
comes to communities of polit-
ical power and prestige on the
provincial level, Durham Re-
gion may not have an equal.
Along with officially taking
over the reigns of the Province
at a swearing-in ceremony
Monday, new Premier Ernie
Eves situated a large amount of
power in Durham with the an-
nouncement four of the re-
gion’s five MPPs will lead gov-
ernment ministries.
Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge
MPP Janet Ecker was named
new minister of finance, re-
placing Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim
Flaherty, who was selected to
head the new Ministry of En-
terprise, Opportunity and Inno-
vation. Mr. Flaherty is no
longer deputy premier and Ms.
Ecker won’t handle house
leader duties anymore.
Oshawa MPP Jerry Ouel-
lette received his first cabinet
posting, taking over the Natur-
al Resources Ministry. Round-
ing out the Durham contingent
is Chris Hodgson, whose rid-
ing includes Brock Township.
He remains minister of munic-
ipal affairs and housing.
Durham MPP John O’Toole is
the other regional representa-
tive.
“What this cabinet is all
about is carrying on with the
important policies Ontario vot-
ers have endorsed but doing it
with a different approach,” said
Ms. Ecker in an interview
Tuesday.
“There certainly will be
some differences in decisions,”
she continued. “That does not
mean that we’re abandoning
principles that voters supported
in 1995 and 1999.”
Ms. Ecker heads to finance
from the education portfolio
she held for almost three years.
She said the large number of
local ministers is positive for
the region.
“The Durham MPP team is JIM FLAHERTY
Heads new ‘super’ministry.

Top honours for Durham’s Metroland papers
STEPHEN SHAW
Reporter of the year
honours at OCNA.
News Advertiser,
sister papers earn
numerous team,
individual awards
DURHAM —The News
Advertiser and its sister news-
papers in the Durham Division
of Metroland Printing, Publish-
ing and Distributing Ltd. took
14 awards at the Ontario Com-
munity Newspapers Associa-
tion’s 2001 Better Newspapers
Competition.
The awards were presented
Saturday night in Toronto.
News Advertiser reporter
Stephen Shaw led the pack
with first-place finishes in both
the ‘reporter of the year’ cate-
gory and for ‘best news story’.
Mr. Shaw’s March 2001
story that clinched his ‘reporter
of the year’ award investigated
a criminally insane killer re-
leased into the community and
suspected of killing again.
The ‘best news story’award
was for Mr. Shaw’s deft han-
dling of an unsolved 50-year-
old Oshawa murder case.
“This is a tremendous hon-
our and Stephen is most de-
serving of the award,” said
Joanne Burghardt, editor-in-
chief of Durham Division. “His
work as a crime reporter al-
lowed us to deliver a number of
excellent investigative pieces
to our readers in 2001.”
The News Advertiser was
named the fifth-best newspaper
in Ontario in the general excel-
lence category. The top five pa-
pers advance to the Canadian
Community Newspapers Asso-
ciation Better Newspapers
Competition.
Other Durham Division
awards include Whitby This
Week reporter Natalie Miller’s
second-place finish in the
‘columnist of the year’ catego-
ry, for work she produced
while employed with our sister
paper, Peterborough This
Week. Tim Foran, a reporter
with the Uxbridge Times-Jour-
nal, received ‘honourable men-
tion’ in the ‘columnist of the
year’ category.
The Durham Regional
Spelling Bee, a non-profit
event organized and run by
Durham Division staff on a
volunteer basis, took second-
place in the ‘best community
service’ category.
A second-place ‘best busi-
ness-finance story’ award went
to former This Week reporter
Joe Chin, for his coverage of
the three-month labour dispute
between workers and Co-Steel
Lasco.
The man who brings laugh-
ter into the homes of Times-
Journal readers every week,
columnist Neil Crone, took
third prize in the ‘humour
columnist of the year’category.
Photographer Ron Pietron-
iro was third in the ‘best fea-
ture photo’ category for his
poignant front-page picture in
the News Advertiser of a young
girl wrapped in an American
flag and holding a candle dur-
ing local ceremonies following
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in
the U.S.
Group
to advise
police on
high-risk
offenders
BY STEPHEN SHAW
Staff Writer
DURHAM —Police here
have announced the creation of
an advisory committee, be-
lieved the first of its kind in
Ontario, to provide community
input on when the names of
high-risk offenders should be
made public.
The committee will be made
up of police officials, commu-
nity “stakeholders” such as
public and Catholic school
board representatives and an
expert in the field of offender
treatment, such as a psycholo-
gist, Durham Regional Police
say.
The announcement follows
public consultation by police
brass promised last month after
controversy over a high-risk
sex offender living in Picker-
ing.
A newspaper story about a
rare request by police to have
the man placed under strict
court-imposed restrictions
sparked some local politicians
and residents to complain po-
lice should have released his
name and photograph.
Chief Kevin McAlpine said
he is bound by strict laws and
criteria when releasing the

DURHAM ––A man
charged in the gunpoint kidnap-
ping of his ex-girlfriend, who
was rescued by heavily-armed
police officers on Hwy. 401, has
waived his right to a bail hear-
ing.
Justin Andrew Smith
Cadore, 21, of no fixed address,
consented to his detention dur-
ing a court appearance Tuesday,
and was remanded into custody.
He is charged with kidnapping,
assault causing bodily harm, as-
sault with a weapon, point
firearm, possession of a loaded
restricted weapon and threaten-
ing.
Durham Regional Police
said the incident began last
Thursday when the victim was
allegedly grabbed outside her
residence on Major Oaks Drive
in Pickering and forced into her
car, a silver Mercedes.
During the ordeal, police say
she was beaten, threatened with
a loaded handgun and forced to
drive her attacker around the re-
gion. Just after midnight Friday,
police received a 911 call and
at 1:15 a.m. officers spotted the
silver Mercedes leaving an
apartment building in Oshawa.
Police tailed the car west on
Hwy. 401, where it ran out of
gas near Lakeridge Road in
Whitby. The victim was treated
for broken bones in her hand
and nose, police said.See GROUP page 2

names of offend-
ers.
Although by
law only a police
chief can release
the information,
members of the
advisory com-
mittee will be
privy to confi-
dential files on
offenders desig-
nated a high risk,
and make rec-
ommendations
to the chief.
“This expert
panel of key
community indi-
viduals will help
us make these
decisions and
will serve as a
second pair of
eyes for us as we
review high-risk
files,” the chief
said in a state-
ment.
The panel’s
mandate and
members are
still being
worked out, said
Deputy Chief of
Operations Rod
Piukkala, who
researched the
idea.
“The whole
idea of getting
the community
involved in
policing is not
new, although
this may be a
different avenue
of community
involvement, no
doubt about it,”
said the deputy
chief, who was
unaware of a
such a commit-
tee elsewhere in
the province.

Pugh, a Picker-
ing mother and
member of the
recently-formed
Concerned
Community
Working Group
calling for
greater public
disclosure of sex
offenders, ap-
plauded the po-
lice decision.
“We feel that
it’s an extremely
positive move
and that it’s ben-
eficial. It is a
positive thing for
the police and
for the commu-
nity,” said Mrs.
Pugh, who at-
tended a meeting
with police last
week to discuss
the force’s re-
cent review.

ºAjax committee
approves rezoning
for facility to serve
west Durham,
council vote
expected April 22
BY KEITH GILLIGAN
Staff Writer
AJAX —A shelter for
abused women and their
children is a step closer to
opening, after an Ajax
council committee unani-
mously approved a rezon-
ing Monday.
The 25-bed facility will
be at the corner of Harwood
Avenue and Westney Road,
in a building now used for
office space by the Durham
Regional Police Service.
The Ajax-Pickering
Women’s Centre will oper-
ate the facility and the
group is hoping to have it
open by the end of the year.
The interior of the existing
7,700-square-foot building
will be renovated, with an-
other 7,400 sq. ft. to be
added.
Durham Regional Police
Chief Kevin McAlpine told
council’s community af-
fairs and planning commit-
tee the force will lease back
an office and counter area
from the shelter and station
an officer there 40 hours a
week.
The shelter
will be the first
in west Durham.
There are 27
beds currently in
the region, locat-
ed in two shel-
ters in Oshawa
and one in Clar-
ington.
“Ajax and
Pickering are ex-
periencing a
tremendous pop-
ulation growth.
With that
growth, there’s
an increase in
spousal abuse,”
said women’s
centre vice-pres-
ident Bonnie
Porter.
In open hous-
es prior to the
Monday meeting
and in letters to
the Town, some
residents living
near the facility
were concerned
about decreased
property values
and the potential
for violence by
husbands trying
to harm their
wives if the shel-
ter was to locate
there.
Darlene
McGillen of
Harbord Cres-
cent questioned
the safety of
children in the
area.
“Are they
being put at
risk?” she asked.
“Is it not a pre-
mature introduc-
tion of violence
into our neigh-
bourhood? To
our community,
this facility is
perceived as a
danger.”
The meeting
attracted about
100 people, in-
cluding all seven
members of
Pickering coun-
cil.
“We’re here
in support of the
recommendation
and the program
here tonight,”
said Pickering
Mayor Wayne
Arthurs. “We all
acknowledge the
need in our
broader commu-
nity.”
The women’s
centre retained
the firm of Clay-
ton Research to
investigate the
effect a shelter
could have on
property values.
Clayton vice-
president Robert
Feldgaier said
the firm did a re-
view of 18 stud-
ies from the
early 1970s to
2000.
“There’s no
significant nega-
tive impact on
property values on neigh-
bouring properties and this
included group homes,” Mr.
Feldgaier stated. “From all
the evidence available,
there’s no support for lower
property values.”
How well a facility is
managed has more of an ef-
fect, he added.
“Poorly designed, poor-
ly managed and poorly
maintained facilities can af-
fect property values,” Mr.
Feldgaier said.
Ms. Porter reported an
executive director will be
hired to operate the facility.
“I’d like to see more
shelters. It would alleviate
my job tremendously,” said
Reverend Glen Eagle of St.
Paul’s United Church in
Ajax.
“I’m working with quite
a number of people who
would love to have a shelter
in their neighbourhood. All
the people I’m working
with, who are suffering
abuse, come from Ajax.
The situation in south Ajax
needs to be addressed.”
Ward 3 local Councillor
Randy Low said, “Resi-
dents have every right to
raise concerns, the fear of
the unknown.
“I’m convinced the
(shelter’s) board will work
with residents on unre-
solved issues. In my experi-
ence, the board is more than
willing to work with resi-
dents.”
Wards 3 and 4 Regional
Councillor Jim McMaster
said, “Will this bring dan-
ger to our neighbourhood? I
don’t think this will bring
danger to our neighbour-
hood. I believe this will

in a strong position to improve the
quality of life in Durham,” she said.
She won’t have a lot of time to set-
tle in the job: in about a month she
will deliver Ontario’s budget.
Her priorities are going to be “to
continue to take steps to protect On-
tario taxpayers, and encourage eco-
nomic growth and more jobs” so the
Province has the resources to support
priorities such as health care and ed-
ucation.
She added balanced budgets, pay-
ing down deficits, and tax reduction
also remain guiding principles.
Ms. Ecker was tight-lipped about
what’s coming in the budget. She
would not bite when asked how big a
deficit she has to contend with this
year. Some estimates have put the
number at $5 billion.
“We’ve been quite open that the
events of Sept. 11 have caused a sig-
nificant decrease in our revenues,”
Ms. Ecker said, adding there are “op-
timistic economic signs” right now.
And what of the qualifications re-
quired to be minister of finance?
“I’ve run two of the three biggest
ministries in
the government
and I think I
have the man-
agerial skills to
do that,” said
Ms. Ecker, re-
ferring to her
time as minis-
ter of education
and social ser-
vices. “I’ve lis-
tened to what
the voters have
said to me and
I’ll continue to
do that.”
She offered
some trivia
concerning Ex-
eter, Ont.,
where she grew
up. Ms. Ecker
said she is the
second Ontario
finance minis-
ter to hail from
the southwest-
ern Ontario
town. She also
noted Elizabeth
Witmer, the
new education
minister and
deputy premier,
also grew up
there, and
Helen Johns,
the new agri-
culture and
food minister,
lives in the
town.
As for Mr.
Flaherty, he
may have lost
the race for
premier and his
finance and
deputy premier
postings, but
maintains he’s
pleased with
his recent ap-
pointment. The
new portfolio is
an expansion of
the former eco-
nomic develop-
ment and trade
ministry, and
includes sci-
ence and tech-
nology respon-
sibilities.
While he
won’t have his
hands on the
Province’s fi-
nancial books
any longer, it’s
still an impor-
tant position,
he said.
“I’m a min-
ister of the fu-
ture growth of
the province,”
he said. “I wel-
come the chal-
lenge.”
The minister
said he collabo-
rated with Mr.
Eves to form
the position
and is “very
pleased” with
the result.
He will look
after trade rela-
tions for the
Province and
focus on ex-
panding small
business and
the training of
young people
for jobs of the
future. That in-
cludes promot-
ing growth in
the pharmaceu-
tical and
biotechnology
industries. The
position in-
volves travel to
trade offices
outside On-
tario, but may also allow the minister
“more time to spend on the (Univer-
sity of Ontario Institute of Technolo-
gy in conjunction with Durham Col-
lege).”
Mr. Flaherty won more than 30 per
cent of the votes and stirred competi-
tion in a leadership race initially pro-
jected as a landslide win for Mr.
Eves.
While he didn’t take the title, he
has no regrets.
“Our campaign... raised the issues
that needed to be raised. We captured
the imaginations of a good part of the
party,” he said.
He was also pleased with the high
number of local ministers.
“We have strong representation
from Durham in our caucus,” said
Mr. Flaherty. “We have a strong voice
in the cabinet.”
Mr. Ouellette, for his part, was
“excited and overwhelmed” when he
got the call from Mr. Eves Sunday.
“It’s going to be very interesting,”
he said Tuesday morning. “It’ll be
good to work with Eves and the
whole cabinet.”
Mr. Ouellette, who supported Mr.
Eves in the leadership race, said he
hopes to see some programs he has
started in Oshawa used as models for
provincial programs. These include
kids’ fishing day and a classroom
hatchery program, in which students
help raise and release fish into local
streams.
He called the high number of
Durham-based ministers good for the
region.
“We’ve had some good things hap-
pening already” with local ministers,
he said. “The biggest advantage is
they’re up to speed on all things in
Durham Region.”
He wants to meet with some of his
colleagues, including the new finance
minister, to discuss several Oshawa
issues.
His family will also remain a top
priority, he said. He and wife Dianne
have two young sons, Josh, six, and
Garrett, five.
“The impact on family was the
first thing that came to mind,” Mr.
Ouellette said. “Family’s first. (For-
mer premier) Mike Harris always told
us family’s number one and then your
constituency and then everything
else.”
Mr. Ouellette has always ensured
he has sufficient time to spend with
his young sons and he’ll adapt his
new schedule to do the same now, he
said.
The new ministers will move into
their offices next Monday.
Until then, Mr. Ouellette will
bring himself up to speed on ministry
issues, cabinet procedures and talk-
ing to stakeholders in natural re-
sources about his appointment and
their interests.
Mr. Ouellette said his background
makes him a natural for the new job.
In the past, he’s operated a logging
business and held a prospector’s li-
cence, and is an avid hunter and fish-
erman.
He’s also been a parliamentary as-
sistant in the Province’s transporta-
tion ministry.

Municipalities ‘going to fall behind’: Layton
Recycle!YOUR from page 1
Your community newspapers honoured
Toronto councillor says
more help needed from
upper-tier governments
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —Municipalities are
the roots of Canada, and as such, co-op-
eration between Ontario cities is needed
to make sure they can survive, says Jack
Layton.
The Toronto City councillor and
president of the Canadian Federation of
Municipalities was guest speaker at the
recent annual general meeting of the So-
cial Development Council of Ajax-Pick-
ering. Mr. Layton told a packed Picker-
ing Recreation Complex conference
room that municipalities need a bigger
share of tax revenues from the provin-
cial and federal governments, and more
power to achieve a sustainable environ-
ment. He also touched on the environ-
ment, economy, and social issues.
“We better learn how to live in our
cities. It is the new reality,” he said,
adding, “We’re fighting a real uphill bat-
tle.”
He warned the towns and cities of
Ontario are facing more challenges as
each year passes, with Ajax and Picker-
ing being no exception. One main factor,
Mr. Layton said, is the current tax sys-
tem.
“We can’t raise the taxes enough to
keep up, so we’re seeing the quality of
life beginning to fall,” he said.
He noted that while over the last five
years provincial tax revenues have gone
up about 25 per cent and federal rev-
enues 30 per cent, municipal revenues
have only increased seven per cent.
The result, he said, is the inability to
revitalize inner cities and keep up main-
tenance on things such as roads and
transportation.
“We’re going to fall behind. You can
see we’re not the same as 10 years ago,”
he said.
One noticeable side-effect, Mr. Lay-
ton said, is the homeless.
“Homelessness is a problem here,”
and not just in the big cities, he said,
adding part of the reason lies in low per-
sonal income due to the current mini-
mum wage. Those working full time on
minimum wage can only make approxi-
mately $1,000 per month, he said, and
are “barely able to put a roof over their
head.
“That’s a sign of a dysfunctional so-
ciety. There’s not something wrong with
the worker, there’s something wrong
with the system.”
And if action isn’t taken to house the
homeless, it’ll only end up costing in the
long run, Mr. Layton added.
“It’s more expensive to take care of a
homeless person than put a roof over
their head before they get homeless,” he
said.
Also on Mr. Layton’s plate was
stressing the need to clean up communi-
ties being polluted from contaminated
water and emissions released in the air.
On average, Mr. Layton claimed, the
overall climate has been rising 4 C an-
nually since 1991 due to pollution,
which is having devastating environ-
mental effects outside of cities. One so-
lution is to find more environmentally
sound ways of transportation, he said.
Another initiative is to take “global
community action to preserve our water-
sheds”.
Pickering Ward 1 City Councillor
Dave Ryan, who was in attendance,
agreed local governments are under the
gun.
“I think the thing that stood out is
we’re all sharing the same problems as
municipalities right across the country,”
Mr. Ryan said in an interview.

Proud members of
If voters want a ‘new’ Ernie
Eves more suited to changed
times, he can give them one —
he has done it before.
The fledgling Progressive
Conservative premier is under
pressure to come up with a sub-
stantively different image for
himself and his party because
under Mike Harris it lost some
appeal and fell in polls.
Mr. Eves already has indicat-
ed that, while as deputy premier
and finance minister he was a
strong supporter of Mr. Harris,
he will bring some different
views and a style that will be less
combative and more consulta-
tive.
In the past, Mr. Eves had no
difficulty changing his views
when it helped him. He was a
fierce critic of expanding gam-
bling, and particularly the New
Democrats’decision to open On-
tario’s first casino at Windsor,
before the Tories were elected to
government in 1995. Mr. Harris
shared his view.
Mr. Harris’s concern was
rooted in his overall philosophy
government already took too
much money from residents and
did not need more, but Mr. Eves,
as Tory house leader, had wor-
ries specifically about gambling,
saying statistics show it leads to
more crime.
Sure, the government collects
money, Mr. Eves said, but it cre-
ates side-effects like drug-traf-
ficking, increased petty crimes
of all kinds, prostitution, addic-
tion to gambling and other costs
to society.
He expressed concern govern-
ments of all parties in all
provinces were becoming more
and more addicted to the huge
revenue they could obtain from
gambling.
He also had fun twitting that
the NDP before an election op-
posed casino gambling, but after
it won and needed more money,
introduced casino gambling and
all of a sudden its principles
went out the window.
Mr. Eves spoke forcefully,
saying the NDP acted like a
“Gestapo” in pushing through a
casino, and many who worried
about the proliferation of gam-
bling felt they had a real champi-
on.
But after the Tories won the
1995 election, they also decided
their government needed more
cash and their principles went
out of the window and they
added six more casinos and
14,000 slot machines. Mr. Eves
had no problem adapting to this
change and collected the extra
revenue happily without any sign
his conscience bothered him —
who says a leopard cannot
change its spots?
Some thought of him as a Red
Tory after he talked a lot about
reducing pollution. He said the
Province should conduct aggres-
sive campaigns to counter threats
from acid rain and be aware con-
stantly of the need to protect the
environment.
But Mr. Eves put a higher pri-
ority on saving cash when he be-
came finance minister and his
budgets contained spending cuts
that drastically reduced staff and
left them unable to monitor haz-
ards that contributed to the
deaths of seven residents from
contaminated water at Walker-
ton. He had been an admirer of
Ontario Hydro, the provincial
utility, which he praised lavishly
as “a low-cost, reliable source of
power and powerful ingredient
in enhancing jobs and income
creation” and world leader in de-
veloping new technology.
But when Mr. Harris, with his
ideology the private sector al-
ways does things better, decided
to privatize much of hydro, Mr.
Eves was there to help the
process along.
To cite one more example,
Mr. Eves in opposition felt the
Province in fairness should
equalize the price of gas at the
pumps between southern and
northern Ontario.
He pointed out northerners
often had to pay between 10 and
20 cents a litre more and were
handicapped because they had
limited access to public transit
and depended on cars.
But as finance minister he
quickly got detoured off this
route and residents still pay more
for gas in the north.
Mr. Eves proved he can rein-
vent himself and his views when
it helps his cause and he should
be expected to try it again.
Don’t like Eves’ views? Give it time
New premier has changed his spots before and can do it again
With the countdown on now for a decision on the location
of ITER, it’s worth remembering why it’s so vitally important
the Clarington site be chosen for this fantastic project.
Tonight, a team comprising Durham Region chairman
Roger Anderson, Clarington Mayor John Mutton, Durham
College/University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT)
president Gary Polonsky, and two high-ranking municipal
managers is flying to Moscow to attend the ITER negotia-
tions.
Accompanying the delegation as an observer will be our
own staff reporter Jacquie McInnes, who will provide a first-
hand account for our readers.
The talks in Moscow could go a long way toward deciding
if Clarington will be chosen as host site for the International
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. The $12-billion facili-
ty, which will take nearly a decade to construct and will run
for another 20 years after, will be largely financed by the in-
ternational partners and the Canadian private sector with lim-
ited public sector funding.
But the real key is safety features built into ITER. Fusion
technology research has been taking place around the world
since the middle of the last century. Many countries have de-
signed facilities capable of the high-tech experiments and in-
tensive research needed to bring us ever closer to clean, safe
energy generation that is far more efficient and effective than
our current nuclear fission plants (such as Pickering and Dar-
lington).
The latest large-scale project has been the Joint European
Torus (JET) fusion machine in England, which has been in
operation for about 20 years with no safety problems. ITER
simply takes the fusion process one big step further. It’s hoped
work at ITER will create the breakthrough that makes fusion
the energy of the 21st century. The implications are enor-
mous.
For Durham, ITER would be a terrific economic benefit.
It’s estimated construction of the massive facility would cre-
ate 68,000 person-years of employment. In conjunction with
the fledgling UOIT, which will see its first class enter the
campus at the Oshawa Durham College site in September
2003, ITER represents a terrific learning opportunity. Both fa-
cilities can feed off each other in a scientific symbiotic rela-
tionship.
The migration to Durham of hundreds of world-class sci-
entists and technologists can only benefit all who live and
work here. ITER will draw other high-tech businesses and in-
dustries, eager to take part in cutting-edge research.
There’s every reason to get behind this exciting, innova-
tive, futuristic project. A victory for the Iter Canada team is a
win for us all.

All drivers
responsible for
own actions
To the editor:
Re: ‘Impatient motorists nearly
cause accident’, letter to the edi-
tor, April 10.
In a recent letter to the editor,
a writer suggested an impatient
driver forced another driver to al-
most cause an accident. Really?
Who was driving the vehicle that
turned left in front of traffic?
Who was in a better position to
make the decision to turn safely?
When driving a vehicle, the
driver is in command, not the dri-
ver behind, not the driver beside,
and not the driver in front. We are
all responsible for our own ac-
tions and we have to stop blam-
ing everyone else for our mis-
takes.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not
saying the person who blew his
horn was right to do so. I don’t
know, I wasn’t there. However,
picture this: a person gets into an
accident and says to police “...but
they were honking behind me, so
I had to move in front of the on-
coming vehicle”. Do you really
think this would fly?
If you cannot be responsible
for your own driving, then stay
off the road.

McGuinty can’t
have it both ways
To the editor:
Re: ‘Liberal leader wants board
to let gay student bring date,’let-
ter to the editor, March 31.
Dalton McGuinty speaks of
rights and religion, wearing his
state and church hats. Rights
being freedom of religion and of
association; and religion, the
practice of beliefs.
Then, Mr. McGuinty exhorts
the denial of the rights of associ-
ations to profess and exercise
their beliefs. Pick a hat Mr.
McGuinty.

Let’s support
today’s youth
To the editor:
I would like to congratulate the
students at Dunbarton High
School and all the other Durham
schools that participated in the re-
cent 30-hour famine relief cam-
paign. In a time when all the news
about youth seems to be negative,
it was great to see young people
taking such an active role in help-
ing those who are less fortunate.
We were proud to support this
event and hope other businesses
and services in the community
will become involved in support-
ing our youth in their efforts to
make a difference.

DIL recreation centre
Government planners recognized Defence Industries
Limited workers would need entertainment to keep their
morale and sprits high, so in 1941 a recreation centre
was built (approximately where the main Ajax library
branch now stands). It had a 14-lane bowling alley, a
banquet hall, a large kitchen, several meeting rooms
and offices. It also had a magnificently equipped dance
hall with a 16-foot stage, concert organ, footlights, full
curtains and a large floor. It accommodated touring
performers and the big bands of the day. Under the
management of Harry Brock, who was appointed full-
time director, bands such as Mart Kenney and Guy Lom-
bardo were brought in. Even Mary Pickford dropped by
for a visit. The hall remained in use until 1966 when it
was destroyed by fire.

Install Smoke
Alarms
IT’S THE LAW.
Fire can spread quickly and when
you least expect it. You may only
have a few minutes to escape. That
is why the Ontario Fire Code now
requires that all homes in Ontario
have working smoke alarms. A
smoke alarm on every level of your
home can alert you and your family
and provide you with the chance to
escape.
Remember, installing and
maintaining smoke alarms is not
only a good idea - it’s the law.
Contact the Pickering Fire Services
at 905-420-4628, or, email
fire@city.pickering.on.ca for more
information about smoke alarms.

DURHAM —General
Motors of Canada is on the
verge of adding a third
shift and almost 1,000 jobs
at one of its Oshawa car as-
sembly plants.
The Canadian Auto
Workers union said last
week it is close to signing
an agreement with GM that
would lead to the addition-
al shift being added in July
at the Oshawa No. 1 car
plant.
“Barring some unfore-
seen problem, this is defi-
nitely going to happen,”
said John Graham, a senior
union official.
Union and company
representatives have been
negotiating a deal for
months to jack up produc-
tion of the Chevrolet Im-
pala, the company’s hot-
selling mid-size passenger
car.
The plant is the sole
source of the Impala in
North America. It also
makes Monte Carlo models
but most of the output in-
volves Impalas.
A GM spokesman said
talks for a third shift are
progressing and the com-
pany has not run into any
serious problems.
“But details still have to
be worked out,” said
Richard James, GM’s man-
ager of corporate commu-
nications.
“We should know more
soon.”
Mr. Graham, the union
staff representative respon-
sible for GM, said there
may still be some minor
“hiccups” between the
company and a few suppli-
ers.
“But they will be re-
solved because GM wants
this,” he said. “And I know
the CAW will not get in the
way.”
Gary Cowger, president
of North American opera-
tions for parent General
Motors Corp., will likely
approve the third shift
within the next two weeks,
Mr. Graham said.
“It has to go to him but I
can’t see how they would
spend so much time work-
ing on this and then not go
ahead,” he said.
GM, the country’s
biggest auto maker, would
start hiring back laidoff
workers in May and begin
full production in mid-July
after a brief summer shut-
down.
A third shift would in-
crease the work force from
3,500 to about 4,500 pro-
duction employees.
GM would recall about
500 workers laid off earlier
at its sprawling Oshawa
operations.
Hundreds of other em-
ployees laid off from other
GM operations in St.
Catharines and Ste.
Therese, Que., with prefer-
ential hiring rights, would
then get an opportunity for
the remaining jobs.
The union estimates the
extra production will cre-
ate another 400 jobs at
parts suppliers that will get
bigger contracts to meet
demand.
The No. 1 plant, one of
three assembly operations
in Oshawa, has been oper-
ating two shifts, six days a
week for several months.
In the first quarter, out-
put climbed four per cent
to 80,247 vehicles.
Approximately 80 per
cent of the vehicles from
the Oshawa No. 1 plant are
Impalas.
Last year, sales of the
Impala jumped 24 per cent
to 18,352 in Canada and
19.5 per cent to 208,395 in
the United States.
Sales have shot up 35
per cent in Canada in the
first three months this year
but have slipped slightly in
the U.S.
In view of its populari-
ty, the company raised the
manufacturer’s suggested
retail price of the Impala
by $235 to $25,180 last
week.
GM reintroduced the
Impala in late 1999.
The Impala originated
in 1958 and remained part
of the GM lineup until
1986.
It reappeared briefly
from 1994 to 1996.

Ajax teen comes
to aid of choking
senior at local
restaurant
BY SARAH TEPER
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX —An Ajax teen
lent a helping hand recently
to an unknown elderly
woman who was apparently
choking while eating.
Around 11:45 a.m. on
Thursday, April 4, at The
Great Canadian Bagel on
Bayly Street in Ajax, Ron
Bell and some friends were
waiting in line to order
when Ron noticed a woman
was having trouble breath-
ing.
“I saw this woman eating
and she took a bite and then
she started gasping. She
started rocking back and
forth and it looked like she
couldn’t talk,” said the 17-
year-old Exeter High School
student.
“I grabbed her from be-
hind and asked her to stand
up, but she shook her head
no.
“So, I patted her on the
back,” he said, adding it
helped dislodge whatever
she was choking on.
Candace Fitzpatrick, an
employee at The Great
Canadian Bagel, said she
called 911 after she saw Ron
run over and help the
woman.
“She was OK when the
fire department got here.
She kept saying that she was
OK and didn’t want to go
with the ambulance,” said
Ms. Fitzpatrick, who over-
heard a firefighter say the
woman was in her 70s.
Ron stayed until the
woman was taken by ambu-
lance to the hospital to be
checked out. Attempts by
the News Advertiser to con-
tact the woman were unsuc-
cessful.
“He definitely helped
her. If he didn’t see her, she
probably would have been
in a lot more trouble,” Ms.
Fitzpatrick said.
Advanced-care para-
medic Joe Sheikh, who ar-
rived after firefighters, said
Ron gave the patient several
back blows to help dislodge
whatever she was choking
on.
“What he did provide her
assisted her greatly. He de-
serves some recognition for
his act,” he said, adding the
woman was fine following
the incident.
Despite Mr. Sheikh’s
comments and plans by his
school to honour him with a
certificate, Ron downplayed
his role.
“I feel like I helped her,
but it doesn’t feel like a big
deal,” he said.

An environmental prescription
Rouge Valley looks for big
energy savings by 2010
First launched as an environmental
awareness event in the United States in
1970, Earth Day (April 22) is now cel-
ebrated in more than 100 countries.
This year, Earth Week encompasses
two weeks, from April 15 to 28.
Events around the world range from
eco fairs, to litter cleanups, to tree
plantings, environmental workshops,
and displays.
To launch the weeks, Rouge Valley
Health System’s (RVHS) hospital site
on Harwood Avenue in Ajax, as well as
the Scarborough location, hosted ener-
gy seminars for employees and volun-
teers as part of its long-term energy
savings awareness program. In keep-
ing with the Canadian commitment to
the Kyoto Protocol to reduce green-
house gas emissions, Rouge Valley
also made a pledge with its energy
management action plan to reduce en-
ergy use and greenhouse gas emis-
sions. At RVHS, lighting consumes
about 15 per cent of the electrical bud-
get. By turning off unnecessary lights
RVHS could realize a savings of ap-
proximately $12,000 annually. Its tar-
get is to reduce energy consumption by
a further eight per cent by 2010. The
hospital also challenges everyone to
switch off all unused lights and electri-
cal equipment.
The following notable quotes were
printed in Earth Day Canada’s 2002
newsletter to help us understand the
importance of Earth Week.
“The key point is that we are expos-
ing children from the time of concep-
tion onwards to a whole mixture of
toxic chemicals. We don’t know the
long-term cumulative health implica-
tions of that so, in a sense, we’re per-
forming an experiment on our children
and it really constitutes a form of child
abuse,” — Dr. Trevor Hancock, chair-
man of the Canadian Association of
Physicians for the Environment.
“Zero waste is a design principle
for a society that makes products with
a minimum investment of natural re-
sources and energy, and in which the
end-of-life options for those products
are limited to reuse, recycle, repair,
and compost. Zero waste implies that
the goal of public policy should be to
eliminate waste rather than manage it
in waste facilities,” — excerpt from
‘Wasting and Recycling in the United
States 2000’
“A sustainable community pre-
serves or improves quality of life while
minimizing its impact on the environ-
ment. And it achieves these goals using
fiscally and environmentally responsi-
ble policies. In Canada, the sustain-
able approach to community develop-
ment is catching on as citizens are re-
ducing, reusing, and recycling. Mu-
nicipal governments are encouraging
alternative forms of transportation, de-
veloping urban green space, using re-
newable forms of energy, and perform-
ing energy-efficient building retrofits,”
— Federation of Canadian Municipal-
ities.

KIDS GREEN IDEA:Ask parents
for previous heating bills. Your task is
to turn down the thermostat every
night and later compare the invoices.
The savings should be yours! Be mind-
ful that rates probably have changed
and it may take a bit of math to make a
fair comparison. In any event, you will
save energy, money and the environ-
ment is the real winner.

PET IDENTIFICATION HELPS REUNITE FAMILIES
Between January ‘01 and January ‘02 the Pickering, Ajax, Whitby Animal Services
Centre took in 363 stray cats and 295 stray dogs. The staff at the Centre was able
to reunite 22 of the cats and 137 of the dogs with their families. Moments such as
these are full of emotion and joy for all concerned - the pets, their families and the
Animal Services staff.
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.
Give you pet the gift of love! Give it I.D.!
For additional information about pet I.D. or any of our many other animal services,
please call us at 905-427-8737

Local wrestlers

senior crown
Top senior grapplers hit Ajax Sunday
for Ontario championships
DURHAM —Durham Region wrestlers hope to have a
major Impact on the proceedings at the Ontario Senior
Wrestling Championships in Ajax this Sunday.
The Durham contingent — many of whom will represent
the Team Impact Wrestling Club — will match up against
grapplers from clubs and university programs. The champi-
onships are at Pickering High School — the home base of
Team Impact — starting at 10 a.m. April 21 and concluding
at 3:30 p.m.
Stan Tzogas, one of the Impact coaches, said he hopes at
least three of the club’s wrestlers will qualify for the Senior
National Wrestling Champi-
onships at the University of
Guelph May 4. He’s also expect-
ing a top-two overall team finish.
The event will see the return of
Team Impact member Wayne
Weathers, a player with the Cana-
dian Football League’s Winnipeg
Blue Bombers who’s wrestling in
the off-season. The graduate of
G.L. Roberts of Oshawa is a
three-time national champion.
Another Impact member expect-
ed to make a mark on the pro-
ceedings is Mike Francis. So far
this season, Francis has captured silver medals at the Pam-
Am Greco-Roman Wrestling Championships and the Pan
American Freestyle Championships.
The Guelph Wrestling Club from the University of
Guelph will have two Pickering wrestlers at the provincials.
Orett Morgan, a Pine Ridge Secondary School graduate, and
Chad Pearson, a Dunbarton High School graduate, have won
medals at the Canadian Inter-university Athletic Union
(CIAU) championships.
Meanwhile, Dunbarton grad Sean Pierson will represent
the Brock Wrestling Club from Brock University in St.
Catharines. He’s also a CIAU champion and has emerged as
a top competitor in Ultimate Fighting circles.
Other Team Impact wrestlers expected to compete at the
senior provincials are Paul Harrison, Ainsley Robinson,
Dante Berlingeri, Roger Jenkins, Peter Brown and Robert
Levy.

Pickering trio tap
into impressive
Hollywood talent
pool
BY MICHAEL PELHAM
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING —Three
Pickering dancers have been
rubbing shoulders with the
stars.
Kyle McMillan, 13, Victo-
ria Danks, 12, and Alicia Nero,
11, have roles in ‘Death to
Smoochy’, the movie currently
playing in theatres starring
Robin Williams.
But don’t expect to see their
faces when taking in the
Danny DeVito-directed film. It
was the local actors’ tap-danc-
ing feet that starred in the
movie as they served as char-
acter doubles for ‘little people’
actors in the opening scene.
Victoria remembered being
a little intimidat-
ed when first in-
troduced to the
doubles. One
was Danny
Woodburn, best
known as
Kramer’s angry
little friend,
Mickey, on Sein-
feld.
Their star
turn didn’t end
there as the three
met up with De-
Vito as well.
“He was
small,” said Kyle
of his first im-
pression.
“He was a lit-
tle bit taller than
me,” Victoria
added.
According to
Alicia, he met
up to his colour-
ful, exciting
standards. “He
was funny,” she said.
On the set, they report De-
Vito was always wearing dark
glasses and his directing hat.
“He said ‘when I have my
hat on, I’m a director; when
it’s off, I’m an actor,” said
Suzie Brown, a teacher at the
Denise Lester Dance Academy
where the three take lessons.
DeVito also played a role in
the movie, which is about kid-
show host Rainbow Randolph
(Williams), who gets fired for
a bribery scandal and then
seeks revenge on his replace-
ment, a rhinoceros named
Smoochy, played by Edward
Norton. Randolph’s cast is
made up entirely of little peo-
ple.
This was the first
movie experience for
the three dancers,
which left them with
some fond memories,
including an auto-
graphed ‘Matilda’
video by DeVito and
plenty of pictures with
Williams.
But, the three said it took a
little while for Williams,
who’s starred in such roles as
Peter Pan in ‘Hook’ and ‘Mrs.
Doubtfire’, to come out of his
shell on the CBC studios set in
To ronto. “When he came in at
first he was real quiet, then he
started talking,” Alicia said.
According to Suzie, both
DeVito and Williams were
down-to-earth people and
good with the kids.
‘Death to Smoochy’ may
have opened last month, but
unfortunately Kyle, Alicia and
Victoria won’t get a chance to
see it anytime soon as the
movie is rated ‘R’.

AJAX —Ajax’s Sum 41
have been shut out again at the
Juno Awards.
The power-punk quartet of
drummer Steve Jocz, bassist
Jason ‘Cone’ McCaslin, singer/
guitarist Deryck Whibley and
guitarist Dave Baksh was nomi-
nated in three categories at the
2002 awards Sunday, but came
away empty-handed during the
show at Mile One Stadium in
St. John’s, Newfoundland.
The band was up for ‘best
album’ and ‘best rock album’
for its multi-platinum ‘All Killer
No Filler’ . Sum 41 was also
nominated for ‘best group’.
The ‘best album’ Juno went
to Diana Krall for her jazz disc
‘The Look of Love’. The ‘best
group’ award went to Nickel-
back, which beat out Sum 41
for ‘best new group’at the 2001
Junos. The ‘best rock album’
also went to Nickelback, for
their work ‘Silver Side Up’.
As a tip of the hat to Sum 41,
Nickleback lead singer Ryan
Peake offered to share the ‘best
group’Juno.
“I think we’re going to share
this with Sum 41, if that’s cool,”
said Peake during the awards
ceremony that was hosted by
To ronto’s Barenaked Ladies.
Sum 41 also performed full-
throttle versions of ‘Fat Lip’and
‘Pain for Pleasure’ at the show,
complete with heavy-metal gear
and wigs for the latter.
Sum 41 attended the Junos
in the midst of headlining its
tour, ‘Sum Like It Loud’, that’s
currently in the eastern U.S. and
Canada. The band members
land in Mississauga tomorrow
(Thursday) with tour mates Au-
topilot Off and H2O. They’ll
tour western Canada in early
May.

FASHION PLATE
At a recent dinner celebrating Marlene
Hagge-Vossler being named to the Hall
of Fame, fellow Hall of Famer Louise
Suggs explained that Hagge-Vossler
made quite a fashion statement in her day.
“She wore clothes that, well, I didn’t wear
clothes like that and most of us didn’t,”
Suggs said. “I told her once that if she had
a dime in her pocket, I’d be able to tell if it
was heads or tails.”
HAVING A BALL
Controversy over golf equipment is
hardly new. During a news conference
announcing his induction into the World
Golf Hall of Fame,Ben Crenshaw
reminded us of a vigorous debate from
roughly 100 years ago, when golf balls
advanced from gutta percha to rubber core.
“Harry Vardon used to argue that the
gutta percha ball
was a game of
skill, that the rub-
ber-core ball
doesn’t take skill,
it just bounds
down the fair-
way,”Crenshaw
said.
As for Gentle
Ben’s take on
contemporary
equipment? “There’s a new shaft to try
every week,” Crenshaw said. “It’s mind-
boggling. You blink and miss something
new.”
TA P-INS AND LIP-OUTS
Win the Nabisco and gently wade into
the lake? Steve Sprong and a couple of
buddies chose a
bad time to play
some night golf
in Carlsbad,
Calif., recently.
Alerted that
three suspicious
figures with
night-vision
goggles were on
the grounds at
Four Seasons
Aviara Resort’s golf course — not far from
where Vice President Dick Cheney was
sleeping — hotel security personnel,
Carlsbad police and Secret Service agents
swooped in. “You sure picked the wrong
night to play golf,” one cop told him. …
The Black Course at Bethpage State Park
in Farmingdale, N.Y., reopens for play
April 16, but don’t expect to wear the place
out. Tee times will shut down after 1 p.m.
each day — space for about 124 players —
and golfers will be limited to one round
apiece before the course closes May 28 to
begin final preparations for this year’s U.S.
Open … When Daniel Robert Heintz
was born on March 28, his dad, PGA Tour
pro Bob Heintz, was on the front nine of
the Shell Houston Open.
—Golfweek
early two decades into his life
as a professional golfer, Brad
Faxon has hit more balls than
can be found in two Titleist
plants, has changed shoes in
more locker rooms than you or I will
ever see, and has committed to
memory every subtle break on every
green upon which he’s tread, from
Riviera to Rhode Island Country
Club.
At this point in his career, a
father of four bearing down on 41,
Faxon could be excused if he simply
showed up on the PGA Tour, smiled
at the patrons, punched the prover-
bial clock for a couple days, lived
off a few fat endorsement deals and
went through the motions like a
third-shift laborer on an assembly
line that makes doorknobs.
Instead, and
maybe this has
something to do
with the fact that
April still brings
the occasional snow
flurry back home in
New England, there
burns a flame inside
Faxon unlike anything
that permeates any logs in
his home fireplace. At a
point
when a few
of his age-
group peers
are casting an
eye toward a
money-grab
exhibition tour
for slipping
major champi-
ons, Faxon is
playing the
best golf of his life, melding a tech-
nically improved swing with the
silkiest putting stroke on tour and
500-plus starts worth of experience.
“I feel as motivated to play now
as I’ve ever been,” Faxon said
recently as the Tour made its way
through Florida, bound for Augusta,
Ga., and the Masters, his favorite
golf tournament on the planet. “I
wake up in the morning, and I can’t
wait to play golf. After 19 years,
there aren’t a lot of players who
say that.”
Or actually mean it, for that
matter. As recently as a couple
of years ago, LPGA Hall of
Famer Pat Bradley still got a
rookie’s butterflies when
the wheels of her plane
touched down in the city
where a new season
beckoned. For some,
the game simply
means more than it does to others,
and Faxon always has been a player
who totes his job in his heart. At a
time when the PGA Tour is getting
increasingly younger, pulling its
players out of high school study
halls, not to mention steadily bulk-
ing up in power, Faxon competes
more with brains than brawn, and
with a putter that still yawns over
the challenge of a sidehill 20-footer.
“I’ve always felt I underachieved,
that I could be better,” said Faxon,
an eight-time winner on Tour. “I’m
40 years old now, and I’ve missed
out on a lot. The feeling is that I’ve
got to be the best 40-year-old player
who’s ever lived, and start from
here. I keep constantly
reminding myself
of guys like
Scott Hoch,
Paul Azinger,
Hal Sutton,
Nick Price. . .
. I feel I’m in
good shape.
The
key is attitude. If you can’t come out
here with a good attitude every time
you play, you’re in trouble. Right
now, I’m excited about playing.”
All around him, Tour players
who drive it straighter and hit more
greens are going to long putters
and short putters, putters wedged
into their bellies, putters that resem-
ble outdated plumbing fixtures and
convoluted putting grips that appear
best suited for a tug of war. It’s all
Faxon can do to keep a straight face
when reviewing all the various
raves.
Faxon stays the conventional
course, realizing that if he keeps his
head in its proper position, the worst
he’s ever going to do on any given
day is putt above-average. Must be
nice, eh? On those rare leap-year
afternoons when Faxon actually lips
out a curling 5-footer — gasp! — he
doesn’t require 3 hours of horizontal
soul-searching on the sofa in Bob
Rotella’s office.
When he missed a 3-footer on
the 18th green that could have
forced extra holes against eventual
champion Kevin Sutherland in the
semis of the WGC-Accenture
Match Play earlier this season
at La Costa in Carlsbad,
Calif., Faxon did the only
thing he could do. He
laughed.
“What am I
going to do, worry
about it?” shrugs
Faxon. “People
choose what
they want to
remember.
We have the
ability to
remember
the things
you want
to remember,
and forget what
you need to for-
get.”
Suffice to say, that
putt at La Costa, which
might have cost him the
title, has been forgotten.
Not forgotten, however,
is the hot start Faxon has
had in 2002. The third-
place showing at the
Match
Play was
sand-
wiched
between
runner-
up fin-
ishes
at the
Nissan Open and Honda Classic,
and Faxon even led the Tour’s
money list deep into the Florida
swing.
All the pieces of a once-intricate
puzzle have dovetailed nicely. Faxon
has a caddie with whom he works
well (Tommy Lamb), and he has
found a low-key swing doctor, Ron
Gring, who has helped him abandon
his quest for the perfect backswing
and channeled once-cumbersome
swing thoughts into a simple, single
idea: Get the right shoulder on plane
on the downswing, thus eliminating
Faxon’s tendency to push-block
shots and get “flippy” with his
hands. From there, he has made sub-
sequent changes to his grip, grip
pressure, setup and takeaway to
tighten up and solidify his swing.
Though his ball-striking numbers
aren’t all that striking — 99th in dri-
ving accuracy, 47th in greens in reg-
ulation, they are progressing in the
right direction (up from Nos. 154
and 117, respectively, in 2001). And
most important, the improved ball-
striking affords him better opportu-
nity to do what he does best — get
the ball into the hole. Faxon’s scor-
ing average of 70.19 ranks ninth on
Tour.
Off the course, Faxon has
rebounded from a divorce in 1997.
His marriage to Dory Faxon in 2000
— the running joke on Tour was that
Faxon’s wedding drew a better field
than the Pennsylvania Classic that
week — truly has given him a sec-
ond lease, and an infant, Charlotte
— his fourth daughter, and first with
Dory — was born “the Friday of
Bob Hope.” That’s Tour-speak for
Jan. 18.
“He went through a tough time,
but he’s in a happy place,” says
longtime friend Brett Quigley, a fel-
low Rhode Islander and rising Tour
star whose dreams to play pro golf
were fueled by watching the home-
grown success stories of Faxon and
Billy Andrade. “I think in golf, age
is a factor, but not a big factor. At
this level, it’s so mental it’s unbe-
lievable, and Fax is finally comfort-
able, confident in his ability. It takes
some people longer than others, and
he’s finally coming into it.”

Golfweek
Lorena Ochoa’s latest achievement
is winning her seventh consecutive
college event while battling
fatigue and a severe cold. The Arizona
sophomore won the Ping/ASU Invitational
by four shots April 7 at Karsten Golf
Course in Tempe,Ariz., making her the
sport’s hottest golfer — professional or
amateur. Tulsa won the team competition
by six shots.
Perhaps Ochoa’s fatigue could have
been caused by her stretch of four consec-
utive weeks of tournament play, a sched-
ule most college golfers aren’t prepared
for. Ochoa played in three straight LPGA
events (on sponsor exemptions) leading up
to the ASU Invitational. She finished tied
for 37th at the Ping Banner Health March
14-17; tied for fifth at the Welch’s/Circle
K Championship March 21-24; and eighth
at the Kraft Nabisco Championship March
28-31.
“It was a lot of fun,” Ochoa said. “I’m
a little bit tired, but I’ll be fine with rest. I
don’t feel that bad.”
Ochoa, 20, shot 68-71-68 for a 9-under
207 total to beat Arizona State’s Jimin
Kang by four and Tulsa’s Stacy
Prammanasudh by five.
In the first round, Ochoa went 5 under
in a five-hole span on the back nine that
included a hole-in-one (her fifth career
ace) from 166 yards with a 6-iron. She
closed with a double bogey — hitting the
hole-in-one ball into the water off the 18th
tee — to shoot 68. After a second-round
71, Ochoa was tied for the lead with
Prammanasudh heading into the final
round.
But it was Kang who made a charge in
the final round and was 5 under through
10 holes. Ochoa made sure it would go no
further, with birdies on three of her final
six holes to close with 68. Kang shot 66
and Prammanasudh faltered with a 73.
“I woke up on the back nine,” Ochoa
said.
In less than two years, Ochoa has won
11 of 17 college tournaments and has fin-
ished outside the top three just once — her
college debut. This year, she is a com-
bined 44-under-par in 20 rounds, has a
69.65 scoring average and has won seven
events by an average of 5.1 shots. Her
final-round scoring average this year is
68.70.
“This is very special to me; it’s the
seventh,” Ochoa said. “I know how hard it
is (to win), but I’m just trying to have fun
and enjoy this.”
For the record: It’s seven down and
three to go in Ochoa’s quest for the perfect
season. Next is the Pac-10 Conference
Championship on April 22-24, followed
by the NCAA West Regional and NCAA
Championship in May. Ochoa was runner-
up to Duke’s Candy Hannemann at the
2001 NCAA finals.
Who was it that said you can’t win
them all?

Pickering-based Façade comes out on top in Bandwarz
BY PAULO SANTOS
Special to the News Advertiser
DURHAM ––Pickering
band Façade was crowned the
champion of Bandwarz 2002 last
Saturday at E.P. Taylor’s pub on
the Durham College campus.
The competition ran every
Saturday for eight weeks, with
seven bands taking the stage
every week.
Brandon Green (guitar),
Adam Hoth (vocals), Andrew
Hoth (drums), Sean Humphries
(bass), and Patrick Kavanagh
(guitar) make up Façade. All five
guys grew up in Pickering where
they attended Dunbarton High
School. Four years ago the Hoth
brothers and their cousin Sean
Humphries were jamming in the
basement, when they decided to
take music seriously. They
searched for two guitarists, and
came up with Green and Ka-
vanagh. Since then, they have
been writing music and playing
shows throughout Durham Re-
gion and the GTA.
Humphries said music was
something that had always come
naturally to them. They had
grown up around music and they
felt it just seemed right to do it.
“We didn’t really choose
music,” he said. “Music sort of
chose us.”
Their songs vary from ska, to
hardcore fast punk, to rock
opera. The band classifies its
music as ‘Youth Contemporary’
because the players feel they
don’t really have a genre of
music.
You can check out Façade at
its next show, free of charge,
April 27 at the Petticoat Creek
Community Centre in Pickering.

Some Enchanted Evening
PICKERING ––Skate Canada Pickering
Skating Club performed its biannual ice
show ‘Some Enchanted Evening’ at the
Pickering Recreation Complex last Satur-
day. The Pickering News Advertiser caught
up with some of the performers at the dress
rehearsal Friday. The showcase featured
the skating skills of the club’s preschool,
canskate, junior ‘B’, test stream and com-
petitive skaters. Above, a flock of sheep per-
form on the ice as part of the evening de-
voted to fairy tales. At right, Matthew Jubb

Annandale teams
can’t make it home
Individuals, teams needed for Bay Ridges tourney
Leslie, Payne teams
eliminated from provincial
play at regional event
BY JIM EASSON
Special to the News Advertiser
AJAX — It would have been nice
for an Annandale entry to play for the
provincial trophy at home Sunday, but
it was not in the cards.
Warren Leslie and Jon Payne teams
represented Annandale at the OCA
Dominion Regalia Tankard Regional
event at the Boulevard Club Saturday,
April 13. The teams were sidelined
there and did not advance to the On-
tario final at the Annandale Curling
Club Sunday.
Leslie and Payne competed at the
regionals for the fifth time in this
event where two teams pair up and
their total score determines the win or
loss.
With Leslie were Gord Norton,
Alex Bianchi and Ron Alexander.
With Payne were Ken Moore, Marvin
Harrison and Craig Reid.
•••
The Annandale competitive men’s
playdowns started Tuesday, April 9
and half the teams were sidelined.
Semifinals in six events were
played Tuesday, April 16, with the re-
sults unavailable at the News Adver-
tiser’s press deadline. The semifinal
winners collect $20.
The finals are the club’s closing
Wednesday, April 24, with $50 and
$30 going to the winner and runners-
up, respectively.
The skins final for bigger bucks
will go the same night between the
Payne and Leslie teams.
•••
The Thursday and Friday mixed
leagues have a closing banquet sched-
uled for Friday with dinner and a disk
jockey.
•••
The season-ending annual Men’s
Last Chance Bonspiel is April 20 and
21. The event is full with eight teams
on the waiting list.
Sunday, April 21 also sees the
youth leagues’ closing banquet,
awarding of trophies, and then the
curling sheets are turned over to the
ice skaters.
