The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) advises transit users to save transit passes and any receipts, as of July 1, to support a claim on 2006 tax returns. DRT passengers will not require a receipt as the pass itself will be accepted by the CRA, as long as the back of the pass is signed. The tax credit only applies to monthly, semester, and annual pass- es. It does not apply to tickets, cash fares, or multi-rides. Keep in mind that this is a proposed tax credit and has yet to be implemented. If the proposal is passed, it will be retroac- tive to July 1 and may be claimed in 2007. For more information, visit the CRA website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ whatsnew/items/transit-e.html. [ What’s on ] Senior seriously hurt in car crash PICKERING — A Whitby senior is recovering from serious injuries she sustained when her car crossed the centre line and triggered a three- vehicle pileup Sunday in Pickering. Several other people required treatment for minor injuries sus- tained in the accident, which oc- curred around 1:30 p.m. on Bayly Street east of Squires Beach Road. Durham police said the Whitby woman’s 1992 Plymouth crossed the centre line when the woman moved from the eastbound curb lane into the centre lane. The driver of an on- coming Chevy van swerved to miss the Plymouth and slammed head-on into a Honda Civic with five occu- pants, police said. The Whitby woman, 75, sus- tained serious head injuries and was transferred from hospital in Ajax to intensive care in Toronto, where she was listed in serious but stable condition. Five people in the Honda were treated for minor injuries and released, police said. The road re- mained closed for several hours.

On Canada Day, people from 15 countries worldwide joined together at Pickering’s City Hall to take an impor- tant oath, officially making them Cana- dian citizens. Isabella Sammut, one of the newest members of the Canadian family, was born in Malta and moved to Canada with her family 23 years ago. She was so captivated by our nation and our culture that she decided to remain in Canada. She was pleased to partake in Pickering’s first-ever citizenship court. Ms. Sammut was all smiles after the ceremony, saying she is happy to be a part of the great tapestry that is Canada. She is excited to start giving back as an official Canadian. “I am so proud to be Canadian,” Ms. Sammut said. “Now I get to be a part of Region happy with new program rollout, but residents still adjusting to new system By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer DURHAM — Curbsides across the Region were dotted with green bins this week as the region-wide green bin program took effect. But, with the increased diversion, comes an increase in questions sur- rounding the program. “We are having a few teething prob- lems this week but it is getting sorted,” said Cliff Curtis, Durham Region’s works commissioner. “But it seems to be rolling out fairly well.” The Region’s recycling centre hot- line normally runs eight phone lines but currently that has been increased to 15. “We are getting 3,500 calls a day,” Mr. Curtis said, three times what the centre normally gets. “People are really inter- ested judging by the number of calls that are coming into the call centre.” He encourages residents to e-mail their questions and they likely will re- ceive a response sooner. There was supposed to be 132,000 green bins delivered to homes across Whitby, Ajax, Oshawa and parts of Pickering. All and all the delivery went well, however Mr. Curtis said 200 bins in Whitby haven’t been delivered. “Some bins had broken pieces,” Mr. Curtis added. “And we are working to replace them as the calls come in.” Calls have also come into the centre from a few streets in Ajax where resi- dents aren’t sure on which day their garbage will be picked up. Mr. Curtis said the Region’s waste collection contractors picked up gar- bage left out on the wrong day but left a note indicating the correct collection rotation. “We are basically getting people up to date,” he said. FIREFIGHTER ANSWERS HOUSE CALL ON CANADA DAY Mike Pochwat/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Kinsmen Park was busy all Saturday long as Canada Day festivities offered something for all ages. There were inflatable rides, activities and information booths for kids, performances by local groups, concession stands, and a whole lot of smiling faces. Pickering residents Amy House and sister Rebecca visited with Pickering firefighter Chris Hogan after receiving firefighter hats. For more photos, see Page A3. By Crystal Crimi Staff Writer DURHAM — Additional government funding is providing more space and services for students with severe dis- abilities at Durham’s post-secondary in- stitutions. With more money for accessibility provided in recent years, Durham Col- lege and the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology have been able to offer additional support to students with disabilities. “What we are seeing in the post-sec- ondary system is a significant increase in the number of people with disabili- ties attending,” said Margaret Greenley, vice-president of student affairs for both schools. “We’re sitting at between eight to 10 per cent of students at any time with dis- abilities.” Last year, Durham College and UOIT received about $80,000 more in govern- ment funding for accessibility. Of the money, $20,000 went to a three- phase transition-from-high-school pro- gram. The initiative, which was piloted the year before with $3,000 in new funds, began this year and introduces students from various school boards to the ser- vices provided at UOIT and DC to help them be successful when they attend post-secondary school. It includes hav- ing them create personal websites to inform staff about their disabilities and how they can be helped. “But without new money, this just wouldn’t happen,” said Ms. Greenley. More funding has also allowed the schools to provide updated assessments for students with disabilities. Although they are supposed to have a current one before entering post-secondary school, for some students, their most recent assessment is from Grade 2, said Ms. Greenley. The schools also received money to cover the full cost of interpreters for some students, such as those with hear- ing disabilities. Previously, the schools received funding that covered the ma- jority of the costs and funded the rest through operating budgets. The remaining additional funding was for general operating expenses. By Erin Hatfield Staff Writer PICKERING — With the passing of its revised work plan, Pickering has made it to the threshold and took the leap to complete its Sustainable Neigh- bourhood Plan. “We had gone far enough that they needed to walk through that door,” said Ann Joyner, a Partner with Dillon Con- sulting Limited. “They made the com- mitment to take that step to proceed.” On June 26, Pickering council ac- cepted the revised work program re- port regarding the plan, one of several initiatives the City has launched sur- rounding sustainability. Staff will continue developing and re- fining the Sustainable Neighbourhood Design Guidelines, with the assistance of Dillon, and develop guidelines to apply to all development in Pickering. “It is like translating the vision we have into more practical standards,” Ms. Joyner said. If adopted, the guidelines will be used as a foundation for developing the sustainability performance measures required by the Central Pickering De- velopment Plan. “The Sustainable Neighbourhood Design Guidelines would apply to the Seaton area as well as any other new development areas in Pickering,” Ms. Joyner said. Other City initiatives include Picker- ing’s benchmarking for sustainability committee and the partners in climate protection project. Its purpose is to prepare guidelines of measurable per- formance targets for assessing neigh- bourhood development in Pickering. Ms. Joyner explained the plan is meant to make new development en- vironmentally friendly and improve quality of life through the design of items such as streetscapes and bike lanes. The total budget for the Sustainable Neighbourhood Plan is $241,000, half of which comes from a grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Enabling Fund.

But the distribution contractors, Norseman Plastics, worked into Saturday to deliver the bins to missed homes. People who have not re- ceived their bin are encour- aged to contact the Region’s Recycling Centre at 1-800-667- 5671 or e-mail waste@region. durham.on.ca. More information about Durham Region’s green bin program is available on the Re- gion’s website at www.region. durham.on.ca/waste. The following are some of the more common questions to arise with the new program and answers from regional officials. Why do green bins need a spe- cial liner? The approved biodegrad- able liner bags are more costly than traditional garbage bags, but these bags are 100-per cent compostable and are made from all natural products such as cornstarch. Residents participating in Durham’s kitchen food waste program are encouraged to store their biodegradable liner bags in a cool location, such as the refrigerator or cold cel- lar, which will help prolong the product’s shelf life. How much do compost liner bags cost? Liner bags for the kitchen container are priced between $4.20 and $6 approximately for a box for 20, according to Katherine Ross with Durham Region’s waste management department. There are many brands available that meet in- dustry standards. The Region’s website has a list of stores car- rying the liners. Can I continue to use a gar- bage can for residual waste? Ye s, according to Mr. Curtis, residents can continue to put their residual waste into gar- bage cans. However in Oshawa and Whitby, the garbage must be in a garbage bag. The reason is having the garbage loose in the can is considered a health and safety issue which was brought forward by the union representing waste collectors. Who paid for the green bins? The cost of the green bin roll- out was covered by the Region’s solid waste reserve fund, ac- cording to Peter Watson, man- ager of waste management. “Each year in the waste management budget a certain amount is contributed,” Mr. Watson explained. The reserve fund, he said, is intended for large capital pur- chases, such as the green bins. How much more does it cost to green bin kitchen waste as compared to landfilling? It costs roughly twice as much to green bin organic waste than it would to landfill it. To landfill costs in the area of $75 a tonne, according to Mr. Curtis, while green binning costs about $150. Is there a profit made from the compost and who gets it? According to Mr. Watson, the profit made by Miller Waste from selling the compost comes off the price the Region pays. “Instead of a gross cost for processing we pay a net cost,” Mr. Watson said. Who made the bins? The bins were made by Norseman Plastics Ltd., out of Rexdale, Ontario. This compa- ny also subcontracted out the work to have the instructional DVD made. Why was a DVD made and in- cluded in the green bin mate- rial given to every home? The DVD was intended to be another medium through which to get the green bin message across, in addition to newspaper, television, radio, school visits, public informa- tion sessions and flyers. “We used all the marketing tools available to us to get the message across,” Mr. Watson said. What about diapers? Because of the maximum bag limit, four every two weeks, the Region has decided there will be special considerations for individuals who, through a special diaper or medical conditions, have excessive garbage. Residents with dia- pers in their waste who believe they require special consider- ation should submit a formal request to the Region of Dur- ham Waste Management Divi- sion, Attention Diapers, 4600 Garrard Road, P.O. Box 623, Whitby, Ont., L1N 6A4, or by e-mail at diapers@region.dur- ham.on.ca. Can I put large containers in the blue box? Oversized containers, such as large polyethylene terephthal- ate water bottles, will not be collected. The maximum size allowed in the blue box is five litres. “We are still struggling with that,” Mr. Curtis said. “We can’t process them. I would encour- age people not to buy them,” The Region is strongly en- couraging the minister of the environment to talk to produc- ers about devising a method to deal with the containers. Will multi-residential units, such as apartment buildings and businesses, come online with the green bin program? “There are some challenges with high-rise buildings,” Mr. Watson said. “We have to look at those in the near future but not immediately.” There are 22,000 residents serviced by the Region’s weekly apartment building and town- house complex blue box recy- cling program. Not all multi- residential buildings partici- pate in the Region’s program because in many locations, the property owner provides gar- bage collection services pri- vately. “We are not in the business of providing collection for busi- ness,” Mr. Watson said. “Busi- ness and industry are looked at as the commercial sector; they have their own responsibility. We administer programs for the residential component.” IT’S ALL ABOUT SAVING MONEY! IT’S ALL ABOUT SAVING MONEY! Supply and selection will vary by outlet. Not all items available at all outlets.

I am an- other stitch on the big tapestry, and I am proud to be that little stitch.” Judge Kris Mohan presided over the court and says he’s proud to be a part of such an important day. Mr. Mohan originally became involved with the citizenship court because he wanted to help new Canadians upon their ar- rival. “I find new immigrants aren’t too familiar with what is in- volved in being a citizen, and I also think they feel like outsid- ers,” he said. It is his mission to help new- comers understand what Can- ada is all about, helping them learn how to become an official citizen and showing them the importance of the community. “I wanted to teach these folks how to give back to Canada because that’s what it means to be a part of the Cana- dian family,” he said. During the ceremony, Mr. Mohan stressed the fact that many of the new citizens es- caped war-torn countries in search of a safe place to live. He went on to commend them for their efforts, saying it shows a great deal about their character. “It took cour- age and persever- ance, but now with your citizenship, you have been given one of the best rewards.” Mayor Dave Ryan, who was in attendance along with many other Pickering politicians, felt privileged to be sharing the day. Besides the obvious signifi- cance of holding the court on our nation’s birthday, Mayor Ryan said that holding the court on Canada Day helped show the new Canadians about the im- portance of citizenship beyond the written documents. “It was an opportunity to en- gage people not only in the con- cept of citizenship but also the celebration of citizenship.” ✦ Another from page A1 Another stitch in the Pickering tapestry View the online at ✦ Residents from page A1 Residents have questions, Region offering answers on new system BROKEN WINDSHIELD? www.premiereautosalon.com Serving Durham Since 1985 1010 Brock Road South (Northwest corner at Bayly) 905-831-4290 AUTO GLASS & CUSTOM UPHOLSTERYAUTO GLASS & CUSTOM UPHOLSTERY ■ Custom Upholstery ■ Boat Tops ■ Mooring Covers ■ Automotive & Marine Interiors ■ Convertible Tops $300.00 Deductible We Pay Up To based on insurance coverage The 2006 Passat Sedan.

Attracting participants from around the world, the University of Ontario In- stitute of Technology hosted the second International Green Energy Conference, June 26 to 29. The event included more than 200 energy experts from 40 coun- tries to discuss new energy technology and research. During a June 28, panel session with energy experts, Louis Marmen with Nat- ural Resources Canada said there is a myth that Canada and the United States are not as advanced in energy savings as other parts of the world. “I would like this morning to dispel that myth,” said Mr. Marmen, director of the housing and equipment Office of Energy Efficiency. He said Canada has the highest amount of regulated, energy-efficient products and added its efficiency perfor- mance is high. Fridges are a successful example, he said. “If you had the space in your kitch- en you could have four fridges for the same energy cost as your fridge from the 1970s,” he said. Regulations proposed by the Office for Energy Efficiency include guidelines for traffic signals, ceiling fans, battery char- gers, natural gas furnaces, commercial washers and dehumidifiers. He added regulating a product can take two to five years. Although energy efficiency is improv- ing, standby power use is increasing and may be overtaking the benefits of savings from major appliances, he said. Another area for savings is changing the type of light bulbs used on a large scale. “It’s one of the simplest things for someone to do,” said Peter Love, chief energy conservation officer for the Con- servation Bureau. He added having lights on all day in commercial offices gives off extra heat. For 100 years, Ontario’s energy con- sumption was highest in winter, but in the last five years, summer has taken over, said Mr. Love. A project is being launched to encourage building owners to slightly reduce air conditioning and get people to take off their ties and jack- ets to stay cooler. Some other initiatives include incen- tives for people to service their air con- ditioners, offering coupons for lights, programmable thermostats and Energy Star ceiling fans. The group is also encouraging people to retire second fridges in the homes that don’t meet current efficiency standards. In Ontario, one third of energy is used in homes, one third in institutes and of- fices and one third in industry. “We need to create a culture of con- servation,” said Mr. Love. Mark Salerno, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation district manager for the Greater Toronto Area, said the national housing agency is encouraging builders to use materials contributing to healthier, more efficient homes. CMHC is also working with lenders to get them to issue longer duration mortgages so people can buy a more expensive, but energy-saving home and afford the monthly payment. From Veridian, Ontario’s seventh larg- est utility provider, president and chief executive officer Michael Angemeer discussed a smart meter initiative that measures power consumption, displays the price of energy according to the time, and allows people to monitor their in- home energy use. The goal is to have 800,000 meters installed by 2007 and the rest in place by 2010. During question period, an audience member asked about energy usage cre- ated by big houses and if upper-class homes are causing market disparity. “It’s going to take some work; it’s de- pressing for me,” said Mr. Love. “It is an issue, I don’t think we’re ready to regu- late house sizes to 3,000 square feet.” Mr. Marmen said making green homes trendy might motivate more wealthy people to buy smaller houses. Mr. Salerno added a lot of new homes being built are multi-units. Plenty of energy at UOIT conference A.J. Groen/ News Advertiser photo Graham Campbell, director general of National Resources Canada, talks to the audi- ence about the state of new green technologies in Canada. Mr. Campbell was a panel- ist at the session ‘Engineering Research and Development — an Ontario Perspective,’ which was part of the International Green Energy Conference held in Oshawa. PA GE A6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ JULY 5, 2006P M y wife and I are about to celebrate our twentieth wed- ding anniversary. Te chnically, it’s the ‘china’ anniversary. Somehow that doesn’t seem appropriate. ‘China’ implies fragility, even a propensity to shatter. I’m proud of the fact that my part- ner and I have hung in for two decades, two kids, three hous- es, four cats and five dogs. No, ‘China’ doesn’t cut it. I think 20 years should be the ‘Plywood’ anniversary. Ply- wood is strong, yet it also has a lot of give. This flexibility al- lows it to maintain its integrity under enormous pressure. If you look at plywood carefully you’ll see that it is not con- structed of one piece of wood, but of many different pieces glued together. The sum hav- ing greater strength than the parts. Plywood also swells and retains water as it gets older. Could one find a more apt symbol for marriage? Now, I realize that no union is bulletproof. There’s no guarantee that Suzanne and I will still be an item in another 20 years. Indeed, if those pho- tos from my junket to Thai- land ever hit the Internet, I doubt I’d give us another 20 minutes. So, in light of that and in light of the state of matrimony in general these days, perhaps we should update our anni- versary markers. What about ‘The Briggs and Stratton’ anniversary, con- noting a marriage that, like a powerful engine, relies on many different parts to func- tion as an efficient whole but which, occasionally, mows somebody else’s grass? Or the ‘Scotch’ anniversary; a marriage that started out neat but which is now clearly on the rocks. The ‘Filter Queen’ an- niversary; 35 years and it still sucks? The ‘Keanu’ an- niversary; a marriage of two physically gorgeous people that, although void of any substance or intellect, is still, inexplicably, successful. The ‘Snap-on’ anniversary; a mar- riage where the participants are clearly both tools, but they work beautifully together. The ‘Parsley’ anniversary; where both partners are still inter- ested in the main course, but they like a little on the side. The ‘Hay’ anniversary; where you’re both still on the same tractor but one of you is think- ing of baling. And finally, the ‘Drywall’ anniversary; where one of you is only interested in screwing while the other is holding the sheets over his/her head. Another consideration is how to mark this anniversary. We had discussed an exotic trip or perhaps an expensive night out in the city, but I think we’ve finally come to the perfect solution. A new bed. Romantic dinners and strolls along the beach are all well and good, but after 20 years I can tell you that the bed is where a marriage is made or broken. And I’m not just talking about the obvious. Physical intimacy, while im- portant, can only take a mar- riage so far (although I’m cer- tainly willing to see just how far that might be). But that bed is where not only your bodies but your spirits link. Where you lie in the dark and listen to your children sleep- ing. Where you quietly talk about money and fear and dreams and the future. Where you listen to storms pounding on the windows and where you watch the sun rise on a new day. Where, as bad as things might get, you are never alone. Happy anniversary sweet- heart. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns.

Com- mittee debates Region’s Europe- an trip, May 28. I am writing to express my disgust over the trip to Europe by a large number of Regional councillors and Regional em- ployees. The only person lack- ing was Chevy Chase. Nothing will convince me these people all need to be sent on a taxpayer-subsidized jaunt through Europe to look at waste facilities. I can see one or two expert staff going to inspect technical issues and maybe one high level elected politician, but this is just another unconscio- nable perk given to overpaid and fiscally irresponsible offi- cials. Have they never heard of photographs, video and other information technology to learn about the facilities? Surely any number of municipalities have already conducted this research and would willingly share their findings with the Region. The rest of the councillors have to vote based on second- hand information. If it is so im- portant for the politicians “to go to get their minds up to speed with respect to the political is- sues,” as expressed by the Re- gion’s commissioner of works, Cliff Curtis, we might as well send the entire council. Gar- bage disposal is clearly a crucial issue, but how many of those on the trip even have any training or skill that will enable them to make informed decisions by looking at the facilities in per- son? I feel sick to think that my tax increase is being used in this appalling manner. L.R. Bradley Whitby Bags big business To the editor: In the literature regarding the new Residential Waste Collec- tion Service, plastic plant trays and individual plastic plant cells are not mentioned. I have put these items out on many occasions in the blue box for recyclables but they are never collected but left for me to put them in with the regular gar- bage. So what do we do with these articles now? I have heard it reported that the disposable bags will cost residents 90 cents each, which I consider rather expensive and an extra cost to the taxpayer. Seems like the garbage bag business becomes more lucra- tive for the supplier, and more costly for the taxpayer, each time a municipality along with the Region has a new disposal idea. In my opinion the sale of all bags for waste disposal should be handled by public works of the local council and sold to residents at cost plus. I find it unacceptable that the present practice by retailers, condoned by Council, with the paper bags emblazoned with their logos and advertising mat- ter which the residents are man- dated to use and required to pay for, this form of free promotion for the retailer should not be permitted. I trust this practice will not be allowed to continue with the new disposable bags. John Townsend Whitby submitted photo What’s cookin?

That would be only fair punishment and a clear illustration to these fools about the true meaning of sacrifice and what it takes to be a war veteran. It would certainly be an object lesson and might possibly be the only way to make this threesome see how wrong they were to do what they did. It’s no excuse to blame it on too much booze and no toilets in sight. The retired vet who took the pictures of the urinators said there was plenty of laughing and cheering when one of the men took a leak. Disgusting. Understandably, Canadian veterans from coast to coast are see- ing red over the desecration of a memorial which represents over 100,000 Canadian war dead from the First and Second World Wars, Korea and international conflicts since. The area also includes the tomb of the unknown soldier, dedicated just a few years ago. It’s hoped police will at least make an arrest in the case and that the sheer embarrassment of being caught will shame these people. And, if convicted, these three should be forced to spend some community time with war vets as they go around to schools this fall and speak about the bravery of combat and the loss of life they’ve closely experienced in war. Beyond any teaching moments, there may be ways to effectively protect our war memorials from being stained. There may be a way to increase patrols near Parliament Hill to make sure nothing nefarious is going on, especially in the wee hours. A less palatable option -- because it shouldn’t have to come to this but might -- would be to build a wrought-iron fence around the memorial so nobody could get close enough to desecrate or vandalize it. That would be an unfortunate outcome, precipitated by the despicable actions of a few, but it might be the only way to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. Of course the vast majority of Canadians has nothing but con- tempt for this trio and their actions should be seen for the repre- hensible behaviour they are.

The Ontario Prospects 12 and under team, which includes 11 Dur- ham Region players, travelled to play in the Michigan CABA (Central American Baseball Association) State Tournament, uncertain of how they would fare against stiff American competition. Af ter opening with a 10-8 loss to the St. Clair Shores Mariners, the locals fell behind 16-3 to the Detroit Tigers in their next game when a funny thing happened: the determination kicked in. Ontario battled back for an 18-17 win and rode the momentum all the way to the tournament final, where they dropped a close 6-4 decision to the Chesterfield Raptors. In between, they put up wins of 9-8 over the Macomb Wolverines and, in the semifinal, 11-3 over the same St. Clair Mariners they faced in the opener. The team trained at the Home Run Baseball Academy in Ajax and were assembled by Todd Campbell and former Major Leaguers Rob and Rich Butler. Local players included Ben Radford, Jonah Fullerton, Kosta Ly k os, Mitchell Robins, Nathan Borges, Ryan Kellogg and TJ Camp- bell of Whitby, Philip Warner of Oshawa, Matt Coppens and Matt Scobie of Ajax and Michael Tiangco of Pickering. [ Darts ] Durham’s Darth Maple earns another title DURHAM — John Part of Os- hawa is on top of the darts world once again. Part, 40, won his third major darts title of his career with a 6-3 win over Raymond van Barneveld in the final of the PartyPoker.net Las Vegas Desert Classic Sunday. The Oshawa Sports Hall of Famer dropped just two legs in the last three sets against van Barneveld, who has four world titles to his name and recently reg- istered back-to-back victories over the renowned Phil Taylor in major tournaments. Par t, who defeated Taylor in the final of the 2003 World Champi- onship, had to qualify for the main draw in Las Vegas after slipping out of the world’s top 12 rankings. “I had the terrific honour of being world champion in 2003, and I didn’t think there was anything near that could follow it up,” Part told reporters in Las Vegas. “But to beat a four-time world champion here in Vegas sure comes close, if not as good.” [ Fa stball ] Special night for College fastball DURHAM — The Department of Athletics at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology has announced that a special night will be held this fall to celebrate the record-setting 56- game conference win streak by the Durham College women’s fastball program in OCAA Women’s Fast- ball. The event coincides with the team’s home opener on Sept. 15, with every player who was part of the four-year streak invited back to share in the ceremony. The evening includes an intro- duction of all team members and coaches, as well as a presentation of an official ‘The Streak’ keepsake. The first 200 fans will also receive a ‘Streak’ souvenir. A specially de- signed banner that will be mounted on the outfield fence will also be unveiled. A social will follow the 6:30 p.m. game against Cambrian Col- lege. Captain leads Ajax-Pickering to 12-7 win over Brooklin PICKERING — There’s plenty of life left in the legs of the legendary Jim Veltman. Just ask the Brooklin Merchants. Veltman, who serves as captain of the Toronto Rock during the winter and plays for the Ajax-Pickering Rock in the summer, led the latter to a 12-7 win over the Merchants in Ontario La- crosse Association Sr. B action Friday. Veltman scored three goals and added six assists as the Rock broke open a game that was tied 5-5 through one period at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Jordan West-Pratt also scored three times for the Rock, who improved to 8- 3-1 for the season. Chris Parkin added a pair, with singles supplied by Joel Johnson, Bill McLean, Jeff Summer- field and Tyler Phillips. Andy Rohmer, Jon Niziol and Tyler Harris scored twice each for the Mer- chants, who fell to 5-4-3. Steve Young- man scored the other Brooklin goal while Scott Gillingham had five as- sists. The Merchants are back in action tonight in Ennismore (3-8-1) and Sat- urday in Owen Sound (9-3). The Rock will play host to Ennis- more Friday at 8:30 p.m. and travel to face Mohawk (5-7-1) Saturday.

Dodgers sweep away Nationals Ajax’s McConnachie homers in win DURHAM — With one swing of the bat, Greg Speed all but guaranteed another playoff spot for the Oshawa Dodgers this season. Speed singled home the winning run with two out in the bottom of the 12th inning as the Dodgers pre- vailed 8-7 over the Stratford Nationals to complete a doubleheader sweep in Intercounty Baseball League play Sun- day at Kinsmen Stadium. The Dodgers improved to 10-18 and moved five-and-a-half games ahead of Stratford (3-22), who appear headed for last place again, and thus the lone entry in the nine-team league who will not make the post-season. Oshawa started the weekend with an 8-5 loss to the Brantford Red Sox on Canada Day at Kinsmen, but re- bounded with a convincing 9-3 win over Stratford in the first half of Sun- day’s twinbill. Junior call-up Andrew Bergman took the loss Saturday, allowing six runs on nine hits through 6-1/3 innings. Nick DeSanctis and Ryan Crotin had three hits each for Oshawa, including a 455- foot home run from Crotin, who also had four RBIs in the game. DeSanctis stayed hot all weekend, adding three hits and three RBIs in the opener of the doubleheader and two hits, two walks and two stolen bases in the second game. Matt Tosoni improved to 3-1 with a complete-game effort in Game 1. He allowed two earned runs on nine hits, while striking out five. Brad McConnachie, an Ajax resi- dent, and Tyler Curran helped the of- fence with two hits each, including a home run from McConnachie. Greg Byron earned the win in relief in Game 2, allowing one run -- un- earned -- on four hits through six in- nings of work. The Nationals scored a run in the top of the 12th, but the Dodgers replied with a pair. Crotin and Ken Calway drove home two runs apiece. NOTES: Ryan Crotin and Matt To- soni have been selected to play in the 2006 IBL All-Star game this Saturday in Barrie... The Dodgers have a dif- ficult week ahead, with road games in To ronto tonight against the first-place Maple Leafs (19-6) and in Barrie to- morrow against the second-place Bay- cats (18-6). PICKERING — The Pickering Heat peewee boys’ fastball team was golden on the diamond in Oshawa recently. The Heat played the host Oshawa Stingers in the championship game. The Stingers got off to a great start, scoring four runs in the top of the first. But, the Heat then bounced back to score four runs in the bottom of the in- ning. Pickering then slowly pulled away through the remainder of the contest to record a 10-5 victory. To get to the gold-medal game, the Heat faced a stern test in the semifinal against Napanee, a team that had beat- en Pickering at a previous tournament. This time, however, would prove to be a different story as the Heat parlayed excellent pitching, defence and timely hitting into a 4-3 victory. In preliminary-round action, Pickering recorded victories over the Stingers and Ennismore. No scores were reported. Te am members are Zachary Doner, Sachin Moudgill, Kami Brown, Brian McGilton, Zachary Adams, Mark Ed- wards, Michael Osko, Corbin Johnston, Humza Hussain, Bradley Bonnell, Trev- or Patterson and Clayton Johns. Wade Bonnell, Brad Edwards, Mark Adams and Stephen Johnston coach the team.

Dolphins still dominating Ajax-Pickering registers fourth straight shutout DURHAM — To say the season has been going swimmingly for the Ajax- Pickering Dolphins peewee squad would be an understatement. The Dolphins improved their Allstar Peewee Football League record to a per- fect 6-0 following a 46-0 pounding of the Twin Cities Predators on Sunday at Pine Ridge Secondary School. The win was the fourth consecutive shutout for the Dolphins. The defence dominated, limiting the Predators to two first downs. Shane Lock led the way with five sacks, while Bran- don Misseri had three. Owen Eccleston chipped in with two interceptions. The offence was as hot as the tem- perature, as the ground and aerial at- tacks were firing on all cylinders. Dillon Campbell, Kareem Tucker, Kyle Wasson, Zach Booth and Kurlan Cadet scored touchdowns. Dexter Damboise booted conversions to help the cause. The Dolphins next game is Sunday, July 16, at 4 p.m., at Kinsmen Park, when the opponent is the Guelph Bears. www. I capture my family’s stories. I have zero ability to self- edit.

Groen/ News Advertiser photos College announces Hall of Fame inductees DURHAM — Come November, the memories are sure to be rolling in for a couple of former Durham College ath- letes and coaches. Laurence Bishop, who starred on the Lords’ volleyball court in 1992-93 before moving his talents to the sidelines as the head coach of the program from 1993- 97, and Bill Crowdis, owner of several OCAA accomplishments from the late 1990s and who is also a former coach of the women’s basketball program, have been selected as the 2006 inductees into the Durham College Sports Hall of Fame. Bishop, a native of Brockville, will enter the builder category thanks in part to his involvement in establishing the Intercollegiate Athletic Academic Suc- cess Program at Durham, which sup- ports student-athlete academic success. Bishop also spearheaded the plan to construct the multi-court beach volley- ball facility to the northeast of the Cam- pus Athletic Centre. In 1992-93, his only year as a player in green and gold, Bishop led the Lords to an OCAA division title, while being named to the OCAA championship all-star team and capturing an OCAA bronze medal. Soon after graduation, Bishop as- sumed the head coaching duties of the men’s volleyball program, and in his four years, captured a gold and two bronze medals, while compiling a 61-23 record. As for Crowdis, the basketball stand- out made an impact from the first mo- ment he stepped onto a Lords court. In his freshman year he helped lead the Lords men’s team to its first Division I OCAA Provincial Championship and the school’s first ever National Champi- onship. Along with that, the list of accomplish- ments is quite impressive for Crowdis, who is now a basketball coach at Sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterbor- ough. • OCAA League All-Star twice • OCAA All-Millennium team as one of the 12 best players in OCAA Men’s Basketball history • Led OCAA in scoring in 1998-99 (25.7 ppg) • OCAA & CCAA Championship All- Star along with being named OCAA All- Star Game MVP in 1997-98 • CCAA All-Canadian in 1997-98 and a CCAA Academic All-Canadian in 1998- 99 • Two-time DC Male Athlete of the year • OCAA Male Athlete of the Year in 1998-99 • OCAA Hall of Fame member Bishop and Crowdis will become the 28th and 29th members inducted during the Nov. 23 ceremony at DC/UOIT. ••• In other Durham College news, the OCAA announced the Lords will host three major events this upcoming sea- son. The 2007 OCAA men’s basketball championships return to the court at Durham March 1-3, 2007. The Lords last hosted the event in 2005, however, they didn’t play in the tournament thanks to a crushing loss in their final regular sea- son game, which eliminated them from playoff contention. Back for another go-around in Os- hawa is the OCAA basketball all-star weekend, which will feature a variety of events in late January 2007. The final event Durham will host is the OCAA an- nual general meeting April 30, 2007.

Whether travelling across Canada as a music director for the United Church of Canada, or performing for fellow senior citizens twice a month at Whitby’s Fairview Lodge, the opportu- nity to share her favourite songs with others has been just as important as the music itself. Sorrill will be doing just that later this summer, when she releases her third recording in August. Titled ‘From My Heart To Yours’, the album is a collection of love songs spanning four de- cades, from the 1940s to the 1980s, culled mostly from theatrical productions of such names as Rodgers and Hammerstein and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Prior to this latest CD, Sorrill has re- corded two previous song collections, including ‘Songs I Love To Play’ in 1995, and a Christmas album in 1999. “I’ve listened and played this music all my life,” she said. In the seven years since her last recording, Sorrill said that she filled her spare time with hobbies such as digital photography. It was after she began volunteering her time and piano skills at Fairview Lodge that her desire to perform and record music was rekindled. As a thank-you to the centre, ‘From My Heart To Yo urs’ is not only dedicated to Fairview Lodge, but will be released at a special album launch at the centre on Aug. 17. “Music took a backseat for a while,” she said. “I just needed some place to perform. When I started doing volunteer playing, it inspired me to record again.” Through her volunteering at both Fairview Lodge and the Oshawa Senior Citizens Centres (where she performs on special occasions), Sor- rill describes herself as looking at her music “through fresh eyes”, namely those of the recep- tive residents, as well as employees and fellow volunteers, who routinely attend her perfor- mances. “Staff and volunteers have told me that I’m the best thing to happen to them in a long time,” Sorrill said. “It just seems to lift the spirits of people. The residents seem to love whatever I play,” she said, adding that it’s the older material from the 1930s and 1940s (some of which will appear on the new album) which gets the greatest response. For Sorrill, the impact her music has had on residents is immediately visible. “There’s a number of residents who are either physically or mentally impaired,” she said. “I start playing a song and they get a tremendous amount of joy from it. I think that’s been the most important thing. When it seems you’ve lost everything, it shows you still have a connec- tion.” Having played piano since the age of six, Sor- rill picked up her father’s ability to play by ear early on in her musical career. “I think I was the lucky one in the family to inherit this incredible gift,” she said. She also travelled from province to province over a period of 30 years, as a member of the United Church, conducting church music work- shops and spreading her enthusiasm of con- temporary religious music to all parts of the country. In addition to her travelling, Sorrill also held a place on the church’s national committee responsible for the Voices United hymnbook, which was published in the mid-1990s. “I sensed something really great (in the con- temporary church music),” she said, “and I wanted to share it.” In the future, Sorrill plans to continue with her volunteer work, barring any unforeseen in- terest from a major record label. “Unless I get a major recording contract, then who knows?,” she joked. “That’s probably pretty unlikely, though.” Ajax singer a hit across the pon d Carrier of The Week If you did not receive your News Advertiser/flyers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at (905) 683-5117.

Ye s, it’s time for free concerts in the park. And, in addition to the Thursday night shows at 7 p.m. at the Pickering waterfront, thanks to municipali- ties, service clubs and dedicated volunteers across Durham, music will be offered up throughout the summer in parks in Oshawa, Whitby, Bowman- ville, Newcastle and Port Perry. Local entertainers and groups from further afield are lined up to make music. In some cases, there will be dance floors for those who like to move. In Oshawa, the McLaughlin Bandshell in Me- morial Park, Simcoe and John streets, is the site of the concerts, run by the City. In Whitby, the To wn runs concerts at the gazebo in Rotary Park, Brock Street South, and at Grass Park in Brooklin. In Bowmanville, a community committee offers concerts in Rotary Park on Queen Street. In New- castle, another community group runs concerts in Newcastle Parkette beside the community hall, which is the rain location. In Scugog, the Town- ship has concerts in the Rotary gazebo in Palmer Park beside Lake Scugog. The organizers and musicians welcome every- one to attend. All you need to do is bring along an apprecia- tion of music, a lawnchair or blanket, perhaps a sweater for cool evenings, an umbrella if it looks like rain (and there’s no rain location) and per- haps some insect repellent. Enjoy!
