Job includes creating a code of conduct for council members PICKERING — Although he’s proud of Pickering’s reputation for municipal excellence, Mayor Dave Ryan has chosen to implement a task force to address the accountability and transparency of City operations. The task force came as a result of a commitment to a responsible, trans- parent and open government, noted the mayor. It’s meeting over the next several months to analyze current policies, practices and bylaws of Pickering and other municipalities, and review the Municipal Act. The task force is also creating a code of conduct for council members. “I hope council will agree to the recommendations that will be made by the task force, and that a new council code of conduct will be im- plemented by 2008,” Mayor Ryan said in a press release. The task force is made up of a wide range of members, including: Joanne Burghardt, Metroland Durham Re- gion Media Group editor-in-chief; Joan Wideman, VP of corporate services for the Lenbrook Group of Companies; Mayor Dave Ryan; Judi Longfield, former Whitby-Ajax MP; Alan May, local business owner and By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Evidence recovered during a police investigation was traced to a violent home invasion in Pickering, jurors hearing charges against two men were told Tuesday. Police also tracked transactions made on stolen debit and credit cards hours after the early morning rob- bery in July of 2005, during which a 36-year-old man was roughed up and bound, an investigating officer testi- fied in Superior Court. Detective Constable Stephen Groat said a cellphone found in a car be- longing to Kevin Harris was traced to the victim of the home invasion. And jewelry recovered from the Ajax man’s home nearly two months after the robbery was also identified as having been stolen, he testified. Mr. Harris, who was 25 at the time of the home invasion, and Jermaine Hylton, then 19, face numerous charges in connection with the July 26, 2005, incident. Two men broke into a home on Valley Ridge Crescent around 4 a.m. and bound the victim with duct tape before making off with a large screen plasma TV, the man’s cellphone and wallet, and his car. During testimony in Whitby Tues- day Det.-Const. Groat also identified a booking photo of Mr. Hylton taken at the time of his arrest in Septem- ber 2005, as well as security video pictures captured at ATM machines at which the stolen debit and credit cards were used. Crown counsel Lori Anne Turner also introduced cellphone records that indicate a phone found on Mr. Hylton when he was arrested was being used in the Pickering area in the hours preceding the home inva- sion. The trial continues. Searches yielded stolen property: witness in home invasion trial Task force to monitor operations Region promises it once site selected By Erin Hatfield ehatfield@durhamregion.com DURHAM — People pouring out to public meetings continue to push for de- tails on energy-from-waste (EFW) and the impact it will have on health and the environment. At the most recent round of EFW pub- lic information sessions, held between June 18 and 28, consultants contracted by the Region of Durham insisted all the details residents are after will only be known after the technology and site are selected. “A detailed, site-specific assessment must be done before any facility could open,” said Dr. Chris Ollson, a consultant with Jacques Whitford, at the session held on June 28 in Newcastle. Meetings were also held in Courtice and Bowman- ville. The final meeting, attended by ap- proximately 60 residents, presented the consultant’s conclusions from the Ge- neric Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment Study. Using a theoretical facility, Jacques Whitford consultants investigated the omission of chemicals and the impact on people’s health and the environment. They estimated exhaust stack air emis- sions based largely on values obtained from stack testing of a facility in Bramp- ton and concluded an EFW facility pres- ents an acceptable risk. The findings, consultants said, do rep- resent the worst-case scenario. Consul- tant Dave Merriman said all vendors that would qualify to build and operate an EFW facility would be better than the theoretical facility used in the study. But, Wendy Bracken, a Newcastle resi- dent who has been vocal in her opposi- tion to incineration, said dioxins and furans are created in the stacks of EFW facilities and no level is acceptable. “The risk assessment was based al- most entirely on Ontario Regulations,” she said. “Many, including doctorates, say these regulations have not served us Residents push for more waste information [ Briefly ] Bag giveaway to aid environment DURHAM — A local retailer is banking 2,000 reusable bags will make a difference in Durham Re- gion. On July 6 and the following two Fridays, the Giant Tiger store on Westney Road South in Ajax will hand out a re-usable plastic bag with each of the first 500 purchas- es. The store is also encourag- ing residents to bring in clean, used plastic bags to be bailed and shipped to a recycling facility. The goal of the promotion, according to store owner Marcel Landriault, is to create awareness and positively impact recycling efforts. “Together with the residents of Durham Region, we can make a difference,” Mr. Landriault said. [ What’s On ] Durham Cruisers holding poker run DURHAM — The Durham Cruisers will hold its fifth annual charity motorcycle poker run July 7. The run, in support of Big Brothers and Sisters of Clarington and the Veterans Honour Ride Foundation, begins with registra- tion, which takes place from 10 a.m. to noon at Mackie Harley Da- vidson and Buell at 880 Champlain Ave., Oshawa. It ends at about 6 p.m. at Spoiled Sports, 1898 Baseline Rd., Bowmanville. Awards and prizes will be handed out between 5 and 6 p.m., and a live band, Code Green, will play. Directions and maps for the approximately three-hour run will be supplied upon registration. The cost is $15 per player, and the event, which boasts loads of prizes, goes ahead rain or shine.

This was a totally one-sided snow job.” Durham and York began work on an environmental assessment (EA) of en- ergy from waste after identifying thermal technology as the preferred method of dealing with garbage. The findings of this latest study will be used to assist in the preferred site selection. As the Region continues down the EA road there are more site studies and more public meetings to come. “We are able to do a very detailed site evaluation, so if you live near these areas you will probably see people out in the next couple of weeks,” said consultant Jim McKay. There are four potential sites remain- ing on the Region’s short list. One site is in East Gwillimbury and three are in Clarington, located at Courtice Road and Osbourne Road, south of Hwy. 401 be- tween Bennett Road and South Service Road and south of Hwy. 401 between Courtice Road and Osbourne Road. The preferred site, as identified by consultants, will be announced in Sep- tember, after which site-specific studies are planned. Upon provincial approval of the EA, Durham senior staff say they could start building a facility in 2009 and have it operational by the time Michigan, where Durham’s trash is currently shipped, closes its border to Ontario trash in 2010. Residents will also have to wait until a vendor is picked to hear the tax impact estimate of a facility.

Our production fulfilled about 11 per cent of Ontario’s electricity needs. 4 Pickering A Unit 1 achieved an excellent unit capability factor of 86 per cent. Unit capability factor reflects the percentage of time the station was available to make electricity. 4 Pickering B’s capability factor was 69.6 per cent, which is lower than our first quarter target, due to unanticipated unit outages. As is our practice, we will incorporate the lessons learned into future operations. 4 Our employees at Pickering B achieved more than one million hours without a lost time injury. 4 The University of Ontario Institute of Technology OPG Engineering Building was officially opened by community and university dignitaries, including Ontario’s Minister of Energy Dwight Duncan. The building offers state-of-the-art engineering laboratories and facilities to enhance learning. 4 Pickering Nuclear and Darlington Nuclear hosted thousands of local residents at our March Break activities with a focus on environmental, science and recreational activities.

The ministry of transportation (MTO), in February 2005, initiated the 407 East environmental assessment (EA) study to extend Hwy. 407 east to Clarington. The MTO is now ready to present the results from the evaluation of the final short list of route alternatives and a technically recommended route. This third round of public infor- mation centre meetings features the recommended Hwy. 407 route and is to obtain feedback from the public. The study is looking at extending Hwy. 407 and a transitway by 50 kilo- metres from Brock Road in Pickering to Highway 35/115 in Clarington with two links to Highway 401.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No reason to mock driving commandments To the editor: I started reading the Fri- day, June 22 issue of the News Advertiser, and after the front page, I went, as usual, to the editorial page. I was surprised to see the cartoon entitled, ‘THE VATICAN ISSUES SAFE DRIVING COMMANDMENTS- WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS’. This cartoon equates sexual abuse cases to moral value be- liefs of the Catholic Church - - contraception and same-sex marriage -- and throws in the issue of women priests. How can you make this com- parison and attack the beliefs of so many of your readers? Why compare the horrors of sexual abuse to a stance against contraception and same-sex marriage and the tradition of not allowing women priests? I am extremely offended by the cartoon and feel that your paper is promoting anti-Ca- tholicism, if not hatred of Cath- olics and what they believe and hatred of the Catholic Church. Have you read the Safe Driv- ing Commandments? Which ones are you against? In brief, are you against: 1, do not kill; 2, do no harm; 3, be courte- ous; 4, be charitable; 5, do not dominate others with a car; 6, drive only when fit; 7, support victims’ families; 8, promote forgiveness; 9, protect the vul- nerable; or 10, feel responsible for others? Which of these de- serve your paper’s ridicule and derision? Maybe you should publish these commandments in de- tail like other papers have done and support them instead of ridiculing them. Larry Noonan Pickering Catholics used to mockery To the editor: Graeme Mackay’s cartoon in the June 22 Friday edition lampooning the Vatican’s com- mandments for the road chose to mock beliefs that differen- tiate Catholics from what the media views as mainstream. Mr. Mackay feels quite free to make those beliefs the target of his ridicule, with a gratu- itous wink and a nod to sexual abuse which, while not unique- ly a Catholic problem, always makes a handy pillory for anti- Catholic sentiment. Mr. Mackay knows that he can take potshots at Catholi- cism without fear of reproba- tion, even though Catholics hardly hold a monopoly on the beliefs he mocks. No one from the Vatican is likely to call for Mr. Mackay’s demise and no riots will likely erupt in Europe or anywhere else over his cartoon. Most Catho- lics will generally take mockery like Mr. Mackay’s on the cheek, rather than angrily defend a line crossed but perhaps not quite sufficiently offensive. The most Mr. Mackay will likely experience is this letter from me, and I can be dismissed as overreacting. Mr. Mackay can remain safe and comfortable in his bigotry. Fortunately for Mr. Mackay, bigotry has once again become fashionable. As long as its targets are fashionable too. Dan Brennan Ajax Cartoon offended reader To the editor: Re: June 22 editorial cartoon, ‘The Vatican issues safe driving commandments’. As a community newspaper, the News Advertiser should not belittle groups within the com- munity they serve. I take excep- tion to the cartoon and find it demeaning to my religion. Your type of newspaper should respect all groups within the community and a decision should be taken by your edi- torial staff to avoid publishing this type of material in the fu- ture.

IN THE COMMUNITY Single act of courtesy can change world /4& Never underestimate a simple gesture I must have done something horribly wrong in another life, something unspeakably vile. Otherwise why do I find myself standing in front of my house at three in the morning in my boxer shorts, staring helplessly up at a neighbor’s window where a dog seems to be imprisoned? Actually it sounds more like a dog has been impaled or per- haps disemboweled and set on fire, such is the din, the absolute- ly spine-shattering wailing com- ing from that window. Typical of these scenarios, of course, only my wife and I seem to be able to hear this. The occupants of the house, the dog’s captors, seem blissfully unaware of its suffer- ings. Remarkable. And now there is a wild, panicked scratching to accompany the mad howling, as though the poor beast were attempting to claw through the masonry to escape its torment. However this ends, someone is in for a fair chunk of drywall work and quite possibly a hefty plumbing bill. Hapless and help- less, I go back to bed where my wife and I close the windows and put pillows over our heads. The next day we are visited by a friend. After a phone conversa- tion in which my wife had men- tioned, in passing, that she was feeling tired and a little stressed, this kind soul had decided to pay us a visit. She arrived, unan- nounced, with a bottle of wine, some cheese and a smile sim- ply because she wanted to make someone feel better. As they say on English exams, compare and contrast these two situations. On the one hand we have irritation, pain and suffer- ing in animal and human as the result of an uncaring, selfish per- spective. On the other, we have peace, harmony and happiness as the result of one simple act of kindness and consideration. It has come to my attention, after some 47 years of experi- mentation and observation, that the route to this planet’s salva- tion lies not in science or chem- istry or invention of any kind, but in simple courtesy. Nothing, in my estimation, has greater trans- formative power for good than the elemental act of thinking of others, of being aware of the fact that we do not live alone. That everything we do or do not do will impact someone for better or worse. The cumulative effect of choosing to act for the “bet- ter” is incalculable. All of us can point to at least one instance in our lives where some loving in- dividual’s unbidden kind word, phone call or gesture made us feel instantly better and our lives easier and more comfortable. What we may have more trouble remembering though are those moments when our own selfish thoughtlessness has had the opposite effect on those around us. Moments that could’ve easily been avoided had we only paused to think. Does everyone in the neighborhood really want to hear my music? How many trucks on the front lawn is too many? Is my dog keeping anyone up? Never un- derestimate the scope of such seemingly innocuous decisions. The world turns easily or not on such choices. All of us have enormous power to change lives on a daily basis. The domino effect that I begin by letting in or cutting off that other driver in the morning, by smiling or frowning in the office elevator, by complimenting or nitpicking my child or spouse, is like the storied hurricane begun by the flapping of a butterfly’s wings.

Total votes: 144 Yes : 87 % No: 13 % Places to Grow needs Durham focus Push politicians to provide answers W hile the provincial Liberal government crows about its Places to Grow legislation, with its emphasis on resi- dential density and jobs close to where people live, the reality in Durham is somewhat different. David Caplan, the minister of infrastructure and renewal who is the main point man on the Places to Grow plan, was in Pickering recently to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the passage of the legislation. While Places to Grow has good intentions with its live, work and play philosophy of largely self-contained communities, it needs a financial push before it can pull any real sympathy from Durham residents. For far too long the policy of bedroom communities without a corresponding industrial plan has created a 905 commuter cul- ture. Too many people go to bed and wake up in Durham Region but get in their cars and head west for work. And Places to Grow, while it has a push for a two people per one job in Toronto, York, Peel and Halton regions, would like Durham to settle for three people per local job. That’s not ac- ceptable. The Province has to help Durham hit the two for one target to put us on a level playing field with the other GTA regions. Not only that, but the Province has to help provide the proper infrastructure to make it attractive for business to locate here. That means the quick development of more lanes on Hwy. 401, a Hwy. 401 extension clear through to the Hwy. 35/115 in Clarington, better and more frequent GO Train service with an extension through to Clarington and further expansion of main east-west thoroughfares like Rossland and Taunton roads. With the expansion to one million residents in Durham by 2031, it’s imperative the Province work to make Durham a true partner in Places to Grow. The upcoming election will allow the three major parties plenty of opportunity to put their platforms out there for resi- dents to consider. Make sure they put the needs of Durham high on their pledge sheets. 905.420.2222 cityofpickering.com 24 Hour Access 905.420.4660 ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AT CITY HALL All meetings are open to the public.

Canada’s latest conquest was a 71-47 scorching of Mali on Canada Day, July 1. The Ajacian, who’s attending Michigan State University on a full scholar- ship in the fall, chipped in with 10 points and two assists in the victory. The win moved Canada into a tie for third place in Group ‘A’. Canada played powerhouse France on Tuesday, with the result un- available at press time. Canada started the tournament against a more experienced and taller host Russian team, losing 83-56 on June 29. Keane was the lone Canadian to score in double figures against Russia with 10 points. They did, however, bounce back in Game 2 to beat China 78-54 on June 30. Keane finished with nine points, shooting 4-of-10 from the field and going 1-for-1 from the free throw line.

Ajax United Bolts claim Whitby Iroquois title AJAX — The Ajax United Bolts U12 girls’ rep soccer club defeated the host club to capture the 2007 Whitby Iroquois Cup tournament title last weekend. In the final, the Bolts played Whitby to a scoreless tie in regulation time. In the shootout, Ajax shooters scored on three of its four shots to post the victory. Meanwhile, Ajax keeper Michelle Blakeley provided key stops to pre- serve the win. The Ajax United under-12s faced the Ajax Storm in the semifinal, win- ning 3-1. The Bolts posted a 2-1 record dur- ing round-robin play. The Bolts defeated the Kanata Lightning 1-0, dropped a 3-0 decision to Whitby, but bounced back to defeat Belleville 5-0.

Peters a key to Canada’s U20 World Cup aspirations Pickering resident and Ipswich Town midfielder excited to play in front of friends and family By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Humble, soft-spoken and quietly confident -- the persona of Jaime Peters is in sharp contrast to his on-field demeanour. When on the soccer pitch, the 19- year-old Pickering native has been described as a human dynamo, with speed to burn from his midfield posi- tion. A holdover from Canada’s U20 World Cup team in 2005 in The Neth- erlands, Peters hopes to lend his inter- national experience, not to mention his uncanny speed and skill, to be a difference-maker with the Canadian men’s under-20 World Cup team. The Canadians started their FIFA U20 World Cup journey on a sour note in Toronto on Sunday in Toronto, losing 3-0 to Chile. They’ll attempt to regroup in their next pool game in Edmonton on Thursday when they face Austria. Canada finishes Group ‘A’ pool play against Congo on July 8, also in Edmonton. The prospect of playing in his home country is a thrill for Peters. “Oh yeah, I’m very excited. I get to play in front of family and friends and I’m looking forward to it,” says Peters, who’s just signed a three-year contract extension to continue his soccer ca- reer overseas with Ipswich Town, an English First Division squad. “It’s very special to play for your country; you always want to play for your country. I’m just grateful to play for Canada.” Peters says his sole focus since the conclusion of Ipswich Town’s season is on putting in the training necessary to be in peak form for the Canadian team. He feels that he’s better pre- pared, as well as the team, for the world showcase tournament that’s ar- guably the largest single-sport sport- ing event in Canadian history. “I’ve been preparing myself since I first came into camp. Every team that’s here is a good team. I know what it’s like to prepare for the World Cup and I’ve tried to prepare myself even better this time.” Far from experiencing nerves about the prospects of playing on the biggest soccer stage for the age group in Can- ada, Peters relishes the opportunity to compete against the best under-20 players in the world. “All the upcoming stars in the world will be here and everyone is com- ing out to impress. (Diego) Maradona and Thierry Henry have played in this tournament. Everyone knows if they do impress, it could be a big break for their careers. “I’m just trying to play for my coun- try and do well. You are showcasing yourself, but I’m taking it step by step. Hopefully, the team wins.” He firmly believes that playing in home stadiums in front of partisan Canadian fans will help the team’s on- field performance. “It’s a big help playing here,” he says. “Fans are like the 12th man, they can make a big difference. Them being behind us and the other team being from far away, it can frustrate the other team. It will be crucial to our team.” With soccer cognoscenti suggesting Canada will only go as far as Peters and fellow international star David Edgar, with Newcastle United of the English Premier League, will take them, Peters deflects any added pressure on being a key figure in Canada’s World Cup hopes. “As a player, you’re always under pressure to perform. If I do my job and do what I do, hopefully I can bring a lot to our team.” And, as a team, Peters is excited to be part of what he describes as the best Canadian squad he’s ever been a part of. “Yeah, not only do we have a lot of experienced players, we have a lot of players who’ve played overseas. To know that everyone has international experience gives me more confidence as a player,” he says. Not only is Peters comfortable with the Canadian team’s personnel, he’s also confident that Canada can ad- vance farther than his previous U20 World Cup experience in 2005, when it failed to advance out of its pool. Any- thing short of qualifying for the Round of 16 will be considered a failure, says Peters. “I think with the team we have, if we reach the quarter-finals, we’ll be happy,” he says. “If we don’t make it out of the group stage, we’ll be very disappointed. We have to make the Round of 16 to be happy. If we’re at the top of our game, we should go quite far.” But, he’s under no illusions as to the difficulty involved in the Canadians advancing out of four-team Group ‘A’ that also includes the Congo. There are 24 teams competing in the tourna- ment. “Every team in the World Cup will Photo courtesy of Dale MacMillan Pickering’s Jaime Peters hopes to play a pivotal role on Canada’s U20 World Cup soc- cer team. The midfielder is excited about the prospects of competing for Canada in front of family and friends. Canada started World Cup play Sunday with a 3-0 loss to Chile in Toronto. They continue Group ‘A’ play against Austria in Edmonton Thursday.

Kalisha Keane Rock drop regular-season finale to Norwood Loss gives Ajax-Pickering seniors a tougher draw in opening playoff round By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Despite a strong run to the finish line, the Ajax-Pickering Rock couldn’t get the one they needed most. Riding a four-game winning streak entering Saturday night’s senior ‘B’ la- crosse regular-season finale against the Norwood Nitro, the Rock were poised to roll into the post-season on a roll, not to mention staying within the East Divi- sion for the round-robin opening playoff round. All that, however, went for naught with a disappointing 9-7 loss to the Nitro at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The loss means the Rock (5-9) fin- ish last in the three-team East Division behind the Nitro and the Brooklin Mer- chants, which also owned an identical 5- 9 record, but finish second due to a better head-to-head record against the Rock. The Rock will therefore cross into the West Division to play a home-and-home round-robin playoff series against the defending league champion Wellington Aces and the Mohawk Stars. ✦ See Rock, Page B4 ✦ See Peters, Page B2 PAGE B1 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ July 4, 2007 A/P PAGE B2 ◆ NEWS A DVERTISER ◆ July 4, 2007A/P WindReach FarmWindReach Farm 375 Bayly Street West, Ajax Tel: 905.686.0555 Fax: 905.686.1126 Toll Free: 1.800.565.6365 AjaxAjax 2006 Award Winner Best Import Automotive Dealer 1698 Bayly Street Brock & Bayly T: 905.421.9191 www.bessadakia.com info@bessadakia.comTotalKIA Coverage BESSADA OF AJAX AND PICKERING KIA MOTORS The Power to Surprise™ “The Fastest Growing Auto Maker in the World” BESSADA The Power to DeliverThe Power to Deliver Your Neighbourhood Kia Dealer Bus: 905.683.6561 Fax: 905.683.8705 BRUCE BISSELL BUICK PONTIAC LTD.

AJAX 905-686-1440 BETWEEN HARWOOD & MONARCH Nestled in the rolling countryside near the slopes of the Great Pine Ridge in Ashburn, WindReach Farm is a 109-acre working farm and nature interpretation centre specifi cally designed for people with disabilities. Founded in 1989 by Alexander (Sandy) J. Mitchell, WindReach Farm is a unique place which allows visitors to experience fully wheelchair accessible recreational activities and explore the entire property — from fi elds and ponds to barns to playgrounds. “Sandy has spent his life proving to people that with vision, perseverance and community, nothing is insurmountable. The establishment of WindReach is a testament to this man’s determination to help others live their lives to the fullest. Despite being diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Sandy developed a keen interest in farming during his teen years and set about pursuing his dream of one day opening a fully accessible farm.” The farm has fi ve program areas to choose from, including: the visitors program (where anyone is welcome to contact the farm to set up a visit and enjoy a wagon ride, petting zoo, museum, boardwalk, pond-to-pond trail and other activities); therapeutic riding program where over 130 riders with special needs participate in therapeutic riding lessons; overnight accommodations which include two accessible apartments available; a work experience program where over 60 individuals with special needs come with support to help out with farm chores on a regular basis; and a volunteer program, where individuals 16 years of age or older assist in the many areas on the farm and at the stables. Whether you’re on their fully accessible hay wagon ride, rolling along the paved pond-to-pond trail, feeding and interacting with the animals or picking apples from our dwarf apple trees, Taylor says they can accommodate anyone, and give them an experience they will never forget. “Our friendly staff and volunteers treat each visitor as if this is their only trip they may take this year and we aim to make it a memorable one,” she says, adding WindReach Farm continues to infl uence the community Sandy fi rst sought, drawing people to a place where the barriers of the world are left behind. “Enthusiastic visitors come for a variety of reasons. Some to take part in our many programs designed specifi cally for the mentally and physically challenged: others just to enjoy the allure of wide-open countryside.” Located in Ashburn (north of Whitby) at 312 Townline Road, WindReach Farm has been operating as a charity for 18 years, and sees more than 22,000 visitors in all of their programs. They also host several special events throughout the year, including the upcoming Olde Time Farm Fair taking place Saturday, July 21 from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Activities include: wagon rides, petting zoo, crafts and games for kids, and farmers market. All visits to the Farm are by appointment and there is a recommended donation for a visit to the Farm.

The festival is reaching out beyond Oshawa with two new events, a jazz din- ner cruise on Lake Scugog and a tour of new home developments featuring live music and free refreshments. These events open and close the Aug. 6 to 12 festival respectively. Along with the new are popular events from the past festivals -- Swing Night at Parkwood, the Jazz Divas Showcase, an educational and entertaining lecture and the Main Event, the free, all-day of music in Memorial Park. Blues and jazz will echo in the venues, along with the addition of some world music this year. As for the green, the festival will be using organic cotton for volunteers’ T- shirts, will use recycled paper for its pro- motional materials and equip all venues with recycling receptacles, thanks to the City of Oshawa and Clintar Groundskee- ping Services. It all adds up to a great week of music. “We’ve got a full week of events,” said Eclipse Concert’s Kerri King, the festival organizer. She expects thousands of people to attend the festival, the work of Eclipse, the Downtown Action Committee and the City of Oshawa. The Main Event this year will be head- lined by not one but three musicians, Jack de Keyzer, Big Daddy G, both Dur- ham residents, and Danny Marks. Their blues revue will get underway at 9 p.m. “I am ecstatic to be part of the festival this year,” said David Glover, aka Big Daddy G. “Big Daddy G was part of it four summers ago.” That was the year of the big August blackout but the festival went on, despite that, Glover said. “I live in Durham Region and love the chance to be part of such a great event in my community. Festivals like this give the community a chance to hear a vari- ety of great music, including some very talented acts that live right in their own backyard. It also allows entire families to get out and enjoy live music.” Glover said he’s busy working on a new Big Daddy G CD this summer, the first studio recording in seven years. “As with my other recordings, there are a bunch of world-class Canadian art- ists as special guests. I’ll be doing some new songs during my set at the festival.” Blues guitarist de Keyzer is releasing a new CD, Blues Things, this summer. He’ll be playing some of its 14 songs at the festival, he said. “It’s a great day there,” he said. “I’ve always really enjoyed it. It’s a fun festival. What I like about Kerri’s program is she has a good mix of jazz and blues. They set each other off nicely. My music kind of straddles the two.” His new CD is his first studio album since his Juno-winning Six String Lover. He’s spent six months mixing it, in be- tween playing gigs, including a festival just outside Paris, France in December. He’s looking forward to the Oshawa festival in August. The festival schedule is as follows: Aug. 6 -- festival kickoff at Parkwood Estate, 270 Simcoe St. N., Oshawa, noon to 3 p.m., as Oshawa celebrates McLaughlin Day.

PICKERING — Have you ever been invited to attend one of those family gatherings that you felt obligated to go to, just because it was expected of you? Backwoods Players invites you to at- tend a family reunion with a twist that promises to be anything but boring. The Players’ annual murder mystery, ‘Whodunit?: It’s All Relative’, is an out- door, interactive, dinner theatre experi- ence with murderous results. Set in the 1870s in the rustic hamlet of Connells Corners, members of the Mc- Connell family have gathered for their reunion. What should be a joyous occa- sion is marred by the untimely death of the patriarch of the McConnell family, Abner. But was it a natural death, or was it murder? Audience members will journey through the Pickering Museum Village grounds with the family mem- bers and have opportunities to speak with and question the characters to see if you can uncover the murderer. “It has been a pleasure to work with this production because of the seasoned crew, our very creative director, Cath- erine Hodge, and an extremely talented cast in which there are no divas,” states producer Julie Oakes. “Instead we have a group of actors who can work hard, enjoy the historic aspects of the play and laugh a lot at rehearsals.” Hodge is certainly not new to the who- dunit? scene. She performed in Back- woods’ ‘Whodunit?: Sounds Like Mur- der’, ‘Whodunit?: Murder Under the Big Top’, ‘Whodunit?: The Silver Chalice of Taeonostae’ and in the first production of ‘Whodunit?: Lights! Camera! Murder!’ Aside from her considerable expertise in improv, she brings, from her years of working and volunteering at Pickering Museum Village, a comprehensive knowledge of the decorum of the nine- teenth century. The Brougham Central Hotel, PMV Foundation’s current conservation proj- ect, benefits from this annual outdoor production. “We look forward to restoring the 1850s temperance hotel and expanding learning opportunities for Durham stu- dents,” says Pat Dunnill, PMVF Chair, in a press release. ‘Whodunit?: It’s All Relative’ is on July 7, 8, 14 and 15 at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $45 each (a tax receipt will be issued for a portion of the ticket cost). Call the Pickering Museum Village at 905-683-8401 to reserve tickets. To avoid disappointment call early, as all of last years’ shows were sold out. Visa and MasterCard are accepted. For more information visit us at: cityofpickering. com/museum.

We have to put up our best performance.” Peters grew up in Pickering, playing his minor soccer with the North Scar- borough and CS Azzurri organizations. At age 16, he played in Germany with the Kaiserslautern for a year before moving on to Ipswich Town in 2005. He began playing with the national team at age 17. In total, he’s played 12 times for Canada. He notes he’s relieved to have signed his three-year contract to remain at Ipswich Town. Fears that it might be derailed due to British government red tape involved with getting a work permit were unfounded. However, he says that’s secondary to his current focus. “I’m happy to have signed for three years, but I’m not really thinking about it. I’m just thinking about this (the World Cup) and hoping we’ll do well.” ✦ Peters, from Page B1 Peters glad to be home for World Cup Midgets bring back Ontario Division III title from Kingston DURHAM — Despite possessing a sub-.500 record entering the recent Ontario Provincial Division III Midget Basketball Championships in Kingston, the Durham City Bulldogs No. 2 team showed its mettle when it mattered most. The underdogs Bulldogs midgets soared above expectations to put togeth- er a sterling 6-0 record and outlasted a strong CKATT squad in the final, 72-66 in overtime to earn the gold medal. Kiran Boochoon earned the Olympia Sport Camp most valuable player award. Playing the Mississauga Wolverines in the semifinal, the Bulldogs trailed by five points in the final two minutes, but simply refused to lose, gutting out a one- point victory to secure a berth in the final. No score was reported. In quarter-final action, the Bulldogs matched up against a feisty Oakville Vytis team. The Vytis, however, couldn’t stop the Bulldog’s offence as Durham City scored a big 56-40 win. In pool play, the Durham City midgets earned a close 62-55 victory over London Orion in Game 1. Facing a tough Missis- sauga Wolverines squad in Game 2, the ’dogs responded with a narrow 62-59 win to keep their undefeated string rolling. The final pool game was no contest for Durham City, as they rolled past Team Motion 79-49. The Bulldogs experienced a rough sea- son up until the provincials. Their season featured many heartbreaking losses in the final minutes of some competitive games. Having a below .500 record, how- ever, didn’t deter the Durham City midg- ets from approaching the championships with the focus and confidence needed to succeed. Team members are Sam Petridis, Jonathon Harvey, Jamal Thomas, Jeremy Adiken, Kevin Wilson, Kiran Boochoon, Wayne Chung, Malcolm McGowan and Adrian Guaio. Raphael Harris coaches the team. Managers are Parmala and Vish Boochoon.

The opening playoff round is expected to begin this weekend, but there’s yet been no confirmation of game dates. Rock head coach Paul St. John was dis- appointed in his team’s inability to finish up the regular season strongly. “We didn’t play well. We struggled with the ball and our defence wasn’t as strong as they had to be,” says St. John, who wouldn’t use the excuse of back-to-back weekend games (a 5-4 win over Brook- lin at the complex Friday) as an excuse, as Norwood also played a back-to-back weekend set. He’s also not sweating having to move out of the East Division for the opening playoff round, citing his team’s much improved play over the last three weeks. “It would have been nice to stay in the East, especially for travel reasons, but I’m not worried about it,” says St. John. “Wel- lington and Mohawk are good lacrosse teams, but so is the Ajax-Pickering Rock. We’re a scary team right now. We have a good team with two great goaltenders. I’m sure we’re going to get into goaltend- ing battles the rest of the way.” St. John noted the Rock added another goaltender before the July 1 roster dead- line, getting Steve ‘Chugger’ Dietrich for the playoff run. Dietrich, who played last season for the Buffalo Bandits of the Na- tional Lacrosse League, has won at the senior ‘B’ level with Owen Sound and Kitchener in past seasons. His rights were owned by the Brooklin Redmen of Major Series lacrosse. The Rock’s goaltending tandem of Mike Miron and Dietrich is arguably the best in the league. “With Steve Dietrich and Mike we have two great goalies,” he says. “But we have to get back to playing hard defensively.” In Saturday’s loss to Norwood, the game was tied 7-7 heading into the final minute of regulation play. A long shot, however, trickled past Miron to give the Nitro a one-goal lead with 1:14 remain- ing. An empty-net marker with 33.3 sec- onds sealed the deal. St. John was seething following the game at the officiating, noting the empty- net marker was scored in the final minute after what he described as a blatant inter- ference call was missed by the officials. “It would have been a 6-on-4 advan- tage for us and would have given us more of an opportunity to score,” says St. John. The loss also negated an outstanding offensive effort by returning captain Jim Veltman, who rejoined the Rock three weeks ago. Veltman notched a hat trick and added a pair of assists Saturday to lead all scorers. Sean Felstead, Bill McLean, Josh Black, and Pavel Dosly also scored for the Rock.
