Reconstruction of the French- man’s Bay harbour entrance started in December 2012 and is on track to wrap up in October. “We are on schedule and on budget,” says Connie Pinto, proj- ect manager with Toronto Region Conservation Authority, which is overseeing the work. A large crane is currently on the west breakwater for the instal- lation of steel supports for con- crete walkways. By the end of next week the crane will move to the east breakwater for the same pur- pose.

She is a foster parent -- but not just any foster parent. Of the roughly 140 foster homes in Durham Region, nine are part of the Therapeutic Family Care program. The highly specialized program helps children who have endured severe trauma, including physi- cal abuse, sexual abuse or seri- ous neglect. “These are children who have been so hurt,” says Ms. Hill. “You have to do everything you can to make them feel safe. It doesn’t matter if it’s 3 a.m. you have to be there for them.” See DURHAM page 7 Two reporters, one fitness mission My arms hurt me so much on Thursday that I found it hard to put on my makeup.

Crack a cold one Durham’s first craft beer festival brewing Saturday Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Twelve Ontario brewers will be tapping kegs in downtown Oshawa at the first ever Durham Craft Beer Festival. The event is on July 12 on Ontario Street in Oshawa which will be open to pedestrians only between King and Bond streets. Doors open at noon for VIP ticket holders and 1 p.m. for everyone else and the festival will run until 8 p.m. Darryl Koster, owner of nearby Buster Rhino’s Southern BBQ, founded the festival. “We’ve invited 12 small craft brewers to show off their wares; between the 12 of them they’re probably bringing 48 different styles of beer,” he said. The lineup includes funky names like Domina- trix Black by Whitby’s 5 Paddles Brewing Company; Pistols at Dawn by Cameron’s Brewing Company in Oakville; Crazy Canuck by Etobicoke’s Great Lakes Brewery; and Dead Elephant from Railway City Brew- ing Company in St. Thomas. Tickets are $20 and that includes a souvenir five- ounce glass that brewers will fill for participants. The ticket also includes drink tokens for trying beer sam- ples. Samples will cost one or two tokens and prices will be posted. Additional chips will be $2 each. VIP tickets are $69 and include lunch and 25 tokens. There will be glass rinsing stations so participants can clean their reusable glass between samples. Mr. Koster said festival attendees may be able to purchase some of their favourites at the LCBO, but some will be unique to the festival. “There’s quite a few beers you’ll never get anywhere else again. These brewers have committed to bring- ing custom beers that will be hard to get anywhere else in Ontario,” he said. Mr. Koster said the event is similar to other craft beer festivals in Ontario and feels it’s time Durham had one. He said small craft breweries sometimes don’t bother to market their products in Durham or in Oshawa because they don’t think the area is ready. He’s hoping the festival shows Durham residents have mature tastes. “Durham Region’s ready for this, you look at what happened with that food truck festival and I knew that was going to happen,” he said, referring to the recent Whitby event that drew a massive crowed. “They took a chance with a food truck festival in Durham, it’s time for a beer festival, it’s time for a wine festival, we’ve grown up.” A longtime proponent of Oshawa’s downtown, Mr. Koster thinks it’s the perfect location for the festival and said there are many good restaurants for people to grab a bite between glasses of beer, and some will be offer- ing discounts. “We need this in downtown Oshawa, and this is one of the ways I see the downtown core tak- ing a jump,” he said. The event is 19 plus and attendees will have to pres- ent identification. Mr. Koster said children, even those in strollers, will not be allowed. Located on Durham Region Transit’s Pulse Highway 2 bus route, the festival is easily accessible by public transit. “We’ve made plans with most of the designated driv- ing companies to be here, we’re really pushing for the safe driving thing,” said Mr. Koster.

Project Berlin began in January when investigators were told of a number of inci- dents of bogus companies preying on peo- ple with poor credit. Internet-based com- panies were offering loans while asking for an upfront fee, but the loans were never delivered. The investigation spanned both Canada and the United States. Members of the Durham Regional Police Major Fraud Unit, assisted by the tactical squad, raided an 18th-floor condo on The Queensway in Toronto on Wednesday, July 9 at about 12:10 a.m. Two suspects were arrested at the scene and two others were arrested at two differ- ent locations. Improperly stored ammunition was seized from the condo and two high-end vehicles were seized as crime-related property. Shennelly Finn, 26, of O’shea Crescent in Ajax, Philip Young, 39, of The Queen- sway in Toronto, Leslie Gunn 29, of Whis- pering Willows Pathway in Toronto, and Jerome Blake 36, of The Queensway in Toronto, were all charged with commis- sion of an offence for a criminal organiza- tion, defrauding the public of over $5,000, conspiracy to defraud the public of over $5,000, and possession of the proceeds of crime over $5,000. Mr. Young was also charged with unlaw- fully possessing a counterfeit mark and charges in relation to the seized ammuni- tion. All four suspects were held for a bail hearing. The investigation is ongoing and police want to ensure there no other victims. Contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 if you believe you may be a victim of a similar fraud.

IfYouRead Nothing Else,Read This: More than 500,000 Canadians suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a prob- lem caused by damage to the nerves that supply yourarmsandlegs. This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit mes- sages to your muscles,skin, joints,or internal organs.If ignored or mistreat- ed,neuropathy canlead to irreversible health conditions. Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy.Read the full facts on this page. TheLikely Cause OfYour Problem Ourpracticeshave beenhelpingpeoplewith neuropathy andnerve problems formore than 6years. Often neuropathy is caused bya degenerat- ing spine pressing on the nerveroots.This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone. The good news is that chiropractic treat- ments have proven effective in helping to remove the pressure on the nerves. Does ChiropracticReally Work? Chiropractic has been around for over a hun- dred years,and has been used to help everyone from tiny babies to the elderly.Even top sports stars and entertainers…like Tiger Woods,Em- mitt Smith,TonyRobbins,Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong,Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson. In addition to that,here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say about chiropractic… “Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise,improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”– British Medical Journal “Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was more helpful than any of the following: trac- tion, massage,biofeedback,acupuncture,injec- tion of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.”--Stanley Bigos,MD,Professor of Orthopedic Surgery Although chiropractic works greatfor back pain,at our officewe’ve helped patients with a wide range of problems.

And really cool stuff. The Pickering Pub- lic Library now has a MakerBot Replica- tor 2 3D printer -- the name sounds like something out of a science fiction movie. But the printer, which based on a com- puter-generated design of an object fash- ions the shape out of plastic or metal, isn't out of this world but available for public use at the library. That's notable itself as Pickering Public Library CEO Cathy Grant says many libraries "tuck them away or make you take a course or be certified to use them. “We put it out in the open, we want everyone to use it,” she says. It's no secret to young people in the city as many have already seen it at work and even set it to work. The $2,500 cost of the printer was cov- ered by a Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sport grant. Users pay to use the printer, ranging from 50 cents for a project that takes up to 20 minutes to print, to $3 for a two-hour print job. Sounds like a deal to us. But what impressed us more was seeing kids crowded around the machine, mar- velling as they watched it create an object and finding out how it works. There was a time when a trip to the library for a young person was made spe- cifically to research or complete a proj- ect. Before computers, this meant looking through card catalogues and then leafing through a number of books. Libraries still have books, of course, they're famous for them. But as Ms. Grant reminds us, “Libraries have always been about providing free, equal access to the tools of learning. “In the past, that was primarily books. Now, it’s so much more than that.” How true. And how fantastic for young people, who can go to the library to take advantage of iMacs, a green screen to make iPad videos, eReaders, ebooks, iPods, audiobooks and snap-together cir- cuit creation with littleBits. Imagine today's library as a destination, as Ms. Grant says, "to support curiosity and discovery.” And for those older folks who may feel that technology has left them behind, the library is a great place to start learning what all the fuss is about. The 3D printer is a wonderful addition to the library and yet another example of how it has become a cool place to visit for kids of all ages. -- Pickering News Advertiser Durham paramedics should have own bargaining unit To the editor: Re: CUPE strike against Durham Region. I think there is an important underlying issue here. CUPE Local 1764 is just one bargaining unit containing both “regular” and “essen- tial” employees. The paramedics remain on the job by agreement with the employer, (nobody needs the bad press if a death is direct- ly attributable to a strike), and this time around, the “regulars” found themselves on strike over an issue unique to their fel- low members who were still working. One change that would help relieve the situation would be for the paramedics to have their own bargaining unit, separate from the rest of Local 1764 with its sev- eral occupations and classifications all clamouring for attention. They will be far better able to deal with management and council if they have union representation that can concentrate on their unique issues and concerns to the exclusion of anything else. The ultimate solution would be for Ontario to pass legislation defining who is “essential” and who isn’t, and replacing the right to strike with compulsory arbitra- tion where necessary. Jeff Goodall Canada Day fireworks: A cautionary tale To the editor: On Canada Day, I was fortunate enough to catch an impressive fireworks display at my local rec centre, but also a much small- er such presentation on the street, directly opposite my home. When those fiery, colourful fireworks shoot up in the air and burst into beauti- ful patterns, the ignited fragments burn themselves out and become harmless when they touch the ground as tiny ashes -- mostly, but not all. Fireworks, like everything else, are not perfectly made. While viewing the display from across the street, I saw two embers settle, one in the middle of the road and the other on the sidewalk in front of my place. The one on the road continued to burn red hot and vigorously spew smoke for about four minutes while the other, stayed aglow for about 45 seconds before petering out. I can easily imagine what would have happened had either landed on a flamma- ble surface or in the lap of a nearby child. Therefore, if you are ever going to have a private fireworks display, have fun but designate a responsible person, a spec- tator nearby with a garden hose nozzle, discreetly ready to let go with a stream of water, with the faucet opened and ready to spray on a second’s notice. Accidents can happen. Play it smart and stay safe. Larry Wood du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 7 P The Therapeutic Family Care program recently marked its 25th anniversary and Ms. Hill has been there from the start -- originally providing care with her hus- band, who has since died. Over the years, dozens of children have arrived at her door, some staying for days, others for months or years. She still keeps in touch with many of them -- some still call her mom. Ms. Hill started fostering about 36 years ago, after learning one of her son’s friends was being abused at home. That boy ended up living with her fam- ily for years. She says being able to help him was life-changing. It prompted her to contin- ue providing foster care, eventually tak- ing on the extra challenge of the Ther- apeutic Family Care program when it launched in 1989. At that time it was hard to access men- tal health services for children, so three local Children’s Aid societies banded together to create their own program. Based in Cobourg, the program serves the Durham, Highland Shores and Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Aid societies. The collaborative approach allows the organizations to pool resources and bet- ter match children with the right foster home. The specialized foster parents receive intensive training to become “par- ent therapists” and work with a team of experts for support. “These are children who struggle to make attachments, they don’t see adults as people who can be trusted,” says Eliz- abeth Gregory, a resource worker with the program. “Caring for them requires a much different skill level and a lot of tol- erance. You have to build on tiny crumbs of success.” The program originally focused on sup- porting placements in foster homes, but it has grown to also support adoptions, custody agreements and the return of children to their biological families. While it was initially difficult to inte- grate foster children into the lives of her own three children, Ms. Hill says the whole family learned so much from the experience. She has done training on everything from developmental delays and addic- tion, to attachment and communication. Ms. Hill recalls the time a young woman living at her home came into her bedroom in the middle of the night and laid on the floor, hallucinating as she grappled with withdrawal. “(My husband) and I just got up and lay on the floor with her and talked to her. We had the training to know what to do and that gave us confidence,” she says. While it is “very, very” challenging to bring traumatized children into one’s home, Ms. Hill says the rewards are huge. She tears up as she talks about the moment when a foster child begins to trust again, and the incredible gains that kids make against all odds. “It just gives you goosebumps,” she says. Durham Children’s Aid Society is always looking for more foster homes. For more information call 905-433.1551. OSHAWA -- Durham CAS foster parent Deanna Hill.

Having officially opened in September 2013, the Counseil scolaire Viamonde held the ribbon-cutting for Ecole Ronald-Marion in Pickering in June. The school bears the name of the for- mer chairman of the Counseil scolaire Via- monde, Ronald Marion, who held the posi- tion for 15 years. Current chairwoman Micheline Wylde praised his involvement in education. “The outstanding contribution of Mr. Mar- ion throughout the years has enabled the French language to spread in the education system and beyond,” she said. The former chairman, now a judge, joined parents, students and community members for the official ribbon-cutting. “It makes me proud that generations of students in Pickering and the neighbour- ing areas will benefit from a school close to home that provides a secular high quality education in French,” said Justice Marion. The 78,000-square-foot school, located on Brock Road near Dellbrook Avenue, cur- rently has 278 students from kindergarten to Grade 12.

These three words have been etched in my memory since I started. Correct form is everything in CrossFit. Let me start off by saying that day one was hell wrapped up in a basket. The classes are broken into two parts: skills and workout of the day (WOD). Our skill training involved learning the proper way to deadlift, squat, pushup and pull-up. Our WOD was to complete a baby Cindy that included: 5 pull-ups, 10 pushups and 15 air squats in as many rounds as our body could take in a 10 min- ute peri- od. Cindy is considered one of the many Cross- Fit “girl” WODs, because of the name not because it was meant for women. Trust me, this WOD is not to be taken lightly, and it most certainly wasn’t. I successfully completed 6 rounds. How- ever, after our first class, combing my hair was a strenuous task. Three words I sometimes dread hear- ing, “you can do it.” You can do it, can only go so far. When your squatting while throwing a 8 kg medicine ball above your head, seeing it come back down is absolutely terrifying, especially when you have to do it five times in a row. By your third round, you feel like punching someone in the face. We are going on day four of our Cross- Fit journey. My colleague Kristen and I have bootcamp 7 a.m. three times a week: Mon- day, Wednesday and Fri- day for the month of July. We both have our own goals. Mine include building strength, toning mus- c l e and improv- ing self-confi- dence. I currently stand at 5 ft. 2, and I am in a healthy weight range. Right now, I look at my arms and auto- matically think of twigs. Arms are a big focus at the gym right now. I owe my inspiration to a Cross- Fit member who is also small like me. She doesn’t have enormous arms, and thighs that look like the hulk’s. She weighs somewhere around 160 lbs and broke a record in her weight class for deadlifting 165 kg and benching 70 kgs. Now if that isn’t inspiration, I don’t know what is. On day one, our coach Marta Blaze talked about how you don’t have to be huge to be strong. This saying has been motivation for me. I want to be able to deadlift 100 lbs by the end of July. Fingers crossed! Two reporters, one mission, get fit Shedding for my wedding Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com My arms hurt me so much on Thurs- day that I found it hard to put on my makeup. I even bailed on my spin class Thursday night, a class I love and rarely miss, because my legs hurt, too. It was a good hurt though, the kind you feel the day after working muscles you haven’t in a long time. In my case, I was trying to burn the fat that is not wel- come in my wed- ding dress. I’m getting married in Septem- ber, so I’ve decided to take up CrossFit -- constantly varied, high-intensi- ty workouts -- for the month of July at CrossFit Pickering, alongside my colleague Leeanna McLean. We are taking a class at 7 a.m. three times a week and keeping track of our results. I want to lose at least 10 pounds this month. Lofty? Maybe. But owner and head coach Marta Blaze plans to put me on an eat- ing program. She says she can help me lose 20 pounds by the wedding if I stick to it. Whether I stick to it will be the test. On Day 1, we learned some basic skills, such as squats and dead lifts. For our mini workout of the day (WOD), we had to do as many rounds as possible of: five pull-ups, 10 pushups and 15 air squats in 10 minutes. No breaks. I com- pleted five rounds and hope to improve by the end of July. On Day 2, our WOD included rowing, kettlebell swings, sit-ups and running around the building. I went hard for 14 minutes and 20 seconds. I felt the after- effects of this workout over the weekend -- hopefully a sign that it’s working. And just when my muscles felt back to normal, it was Monday morn- ing and I was back at it. Similar to Day 1, we did a 10-min- ute mini WOD, spe- cifically 10 each of: atomic sit-ups (legs off the ground), ket- tlebell swings, wall balls (squatting and then tossing a soft eight-kilogram ball at the wall), and lung- es. The sit-ups were the most painful for me. But I managed to complete five rounds. We’ve been learning back squats too. Mon- day I squatted 75 pounds. Ouch. Although get- ting up at 6 a.m. three days a week is dreadful, I have been enjoying the workouts and the skills I’m learning. But I know it will get harder, and there’s no doubt I’ll get grumpy when I can’t eat ice cream or pizza. d u r h a m r e g i o n .c o m EventsEvents LettersLetters StoriesStories VideosVideos PhotosuReportSUBMIT YOUR... du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 11 P Sterling silver charms from $29 Experienceat: INTRODUCING PANDORA'S NEW SUMMER 2014 COLLECTION.

PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • Upper Level • 905.492.7263 SCARBOROUGH TOWN CENTRE • Lower Level • 416.296.9932 Catch a great view of Durham’s summer A message from Durham Tourism What’s your favourite way to take in the vibrant views of summer? I love to relax in my backyard during these long, light-filled days and soak in the sunshine. But, when I’ve had my fill, I’m ready to get out and about to discover new vantage points at this beautiful time of year. We’re so lucky in Durham to have a wealth of shared spaces to explore, from our natural lakes and parks to our hum- ming patio scene. If you want to be where the action is happening this July, here are a few ideas to get you started. If you’re happiest on the water under a clear, blue sky, you likely already have your favourite bays and banks of Lake Ontario, Lake Scugog and Lake Simcoe, as you sail and fish your days away. Bypass the boat if you wish, and try paddleboarding with Zenfit Inc. in Port Perry or Yogata in Pickering. I can’t wait to try paddleboarding -- what a great way to have fun in the water and get a workout at the same time. Check out www.zenfit.ca or www.yogata.ca for class information. If you like to admire the water from dry land -- maybe with a drink in your hand -- patio life might be for you. Frenchman’s Bay Marina in Pickering is close to the beautiful nautical village, featuring truly fine fare at Port Restaurant and Waterfront Grill. If you’re craving a lush, green escape, head out to a local garden or park year you. Don’t miss the 18th Annual Gardens of Uxbridge tour on Saturday, July 12 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets include a boxed lunch, so plan your picnic spot before you go. Visit www.ccdgardensofuxbridge.org for details. Can you believe this is the 19th sea- son of The Bard’s Bus Tour? On July 29 at 7 p.m. relax and enjoy a summer favourite: Shakespeare in the Park. Driftwood The- atre will present “The Tempest” at Rotary Park in Ajax. Admission is “pay what you can.” You can access the full list of per- formance dates at www.driftwoodtheatre. com. As always, stay in touch by checking out the Durham Tourism events calendar at www.durhamtourism.ca.

Kerri King Manager Durham Tourism Durham Tourism The next step is pouring concrete for the long walkways on both sides. Work will finish up in the fall with trail connections to the new breakwaters, sign installation and site restoration. The $9-million price tag is being split three ways between the City and the pro- vincial and federal governments. The overall project includes two new breakwaters and a wider harbour entrance aimed at improving safety for boaters and enhancing public recreation and tourism. Over the years, concerns about safety at the harbour have reduced the number of boats coming in. Increasing siltation has seen the number of boat slips in the harbour drop from more than 1,000 to about 300. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan says the reconstruction will bring economic bene- fits to the city. “We had the one of the safest harbours, but one of the most dangerous harbour entrances,” he says. “This is part of an over- all waterfront improvement that is helping to make this area a regional attraction.” PICKERING from page 1 Pickering should see benefits of harbour entrance work: mayor Rabid bat spurs alert in Durham Bat discovered at Durham college campus WHITBY -- Durham health officials want to hear from anyone who may have come into contact with an injured, rabid bat found outside Durham College’s Whitby campus. The bat was found at the 1610 Champlain Ave. campus on July 2 and health officials are worried students may have come in contact with it. “We’re not sure how long the bat may have been in the area or if it may also have been in other locations around the vicinity of the school,” said Ross MacEachern, man- ager of environmental health for the Dur- ham Region Health Department. “Health department staff would like to speak with individuals who may have had any type of contact with the bat. All individuals will be assessed to determine if there is a need for follow-up treatment, which will be done by a health care practitioner.” Anyone who may have been exposed should call the health department 905-723- 3818 or 1-888-777-9613 during business hours. After 4:30 p.m. on weekdays or on weekends, call 1-800-372-1104. Mr. MacEachern stressed that rabies can be found in the community and residents should be cautious when encountering bats or other wildlife.

He was vocal when discussions around changing secondary school boundaries in Pickering came to the board.

In several instances, suspects have been calling citizens or business owners and saying they are from Veridian Connections or other legitimate electricity distributors, police note. People are being told they are more than $1,000 behind in their bills and the power would be shut off if the bill isn’t paid immediately. People are told to make a credit card payment or use pre- paid credit cards from stores and forwardthe numbers to the caller. Down payments of hundreds of dollars are also encouraged. The callers have set up an answering machine and a toll-free number to make it appear it’s a legitimate hydro company. Anyone with similar experiences is asked to contact the DRPS at 1-888-579-1520. pi c k e r i n g pi c k e r i n g AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.

Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- With Jim Tobin a part of the Boots and Hearts Music Festival team this year and traffic issues hopefully addressed, Shannon McNevan says “we feel great as far as the on site goes” heading into the third event. “We feel we’re more ready than we’ve ever been,” says the festival organizer. The third music festival runs July 31 to Aug. 3 at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Clar- ington. It kicks off with The Reklaws per- forming on Thursday night and the music ends on Aug. 3 with Blake Shelton. The kick-off a year ago was a nightmare for many motorists, who waited for hours to get into the venue. Many gave up, did a u-turn and went home. There were clogged roads all weekend as fans tried to access the park. But this year should be different. Jim Tobin Productions is the Cadillac of festival and site management and has been enlisted to help make B and H run more smoothly. Twenty-six booths in two areas, the new one on an adjacent property, will be open to keep the traffic moving, process festival goers and get them into the event. Laura Kennedy, director of public rela- tions, Republic Live, notes camping opens to the general public at 3 p.m. on July 30 “and all ticket holders have been advised that they will not be permitted to wait in line on the roads prior to that time. These areas will be patrolled by Durham Regional Police, and as such they will be instructed to move.” Asked to where, Kennedy said that’s up to the police. Bottom line, lining up early is being strongly discouraged. For the four festival days, Kennedy says the booths “will be staffed at full capacity” from 8 a.m. to midnight (5 p.m. on Aug. 3). Fans can get traffic updates via Twitter Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at twitter. com/BootsandHearts. Just under 60,000 fans attended B and H in 2012 and 90,000 were at the Clarington event last year, McNevan says, noting a Thursday night was added last year. If those sound like rough numbers, they are. As at any big festival, exact numbers are a closely guarded secret and McNevan says “we’re never going to release specific num- bers.” But it’s no secret that the festival is a suc- cess and McNevan says when talking to managers and agents “it makes a difference.” He notes that the festival industry used to refer to Boots and Hearts as “that Canadian thing” but have become more specific, now calling it “that Bowmanville thing. “That always makes me smile,” McNevan says. He stresses the festival depends on the Town of Clarington, fire and other services and “we’ve been blessed with the coopera- tion as we’ve tried to grow this thing.” And the fans and supporters of Boots and Hearts have been the biggest factor in its growth and development, he says. “They’ve just taken such an active role,” he says. “A lot of changes we’ve made have been from listening to them.” McNevan notes there were a lot of naysay- ers when the first festival was announced. There will be conflicts with performances at other venues, such as the Molson Amphithe- atre, he was told. You’ll have to spend twice as much to have the stars leave the GTA, he was told. “We just stubbornly believed we could do it,” he says. “Our goal moving forward is just efficien- cy.” Share your photos, thoughts on the per- formers and everything else Boots with us on Twitter at @newsdurham or use the hashtag #bootsandhearts.

Jeremy Smith told us his Driftwood Theatre Group considers Durham “our home commu- nity.” The group is marking its 20th anni- versary this year. And now that the weather’s finally heating up, it must be time for the group’s celebrated Bard’s Bus Tour. See the DTG perform William Shakespeare’s The Tempest starting next weekend in Oshawa. It’s been a request of audiences “for a very long time,” Smith says, but he wanted his company to be able to do jus- tice to the wonderful work.

You can reserve a spot in advance; a basic reservation includes the physical location of your seating only, lawn chairs and/or blanket rentals can be purchased for an additional fee.

TH ANNIVERSARY Prince eager to play on home soil Ajax player one of two Pickering Soccer Club grads on Canada’s team for U-20 World Cup Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com VANCOUVER -- Two Durham Region play- ers are right on track to realize their dream of playing for Canada’s national soccer team. Forward Nichelle Prince of Ajax and goal- ie Kailen Sheridan of Whitby have been named to the Canadian team that will host the 2014 FIFA U-20 women’s World Cup in August. The tournament will serve as a precursor to the women’s World Cup that will draw the best teams to Canada next summer, an event both Prince and Sheridan will watch with great interest and some day hope to be a part of themselves. “We’re just trying to get the nation ready for what’s coming because I know it’s going to be big, the next couple of years with the women’s team,” says Sheridan, a graduate of Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School who’s on scholarship at Clemson University in South Carolina. “My dream has always been to go to the Olympics and one day playing on the women’s team,” added Prince, a Pickering High School grad now at Ohio State Uni- versity. “Getting that chance to represent my country at that level is the greatest hon- our, I think, so I hope one day I can make it to that level.” The two are no strangers to represent- ing Canada, having both done so in 2012 at the FIFA U-17 qomen’s World Cup in Azer- baijan, where Canada dropped only one game, but it came in the quarter-finals, 2-1 to Korea. “That was a real cool experience,” Prince recalls. “That was our first time at that level of competition. Our first game was crazy against Nigeria (a 1-1 draw). There were a bunch of fans. It was a real good experi- ence.” “It was our first experience at that level, so I didn’t know what to expect,” adds Sher- idan. “Just having that kind of excitement for us was pretty cool. We got to see how important soccer really was and we got to feel it. We know how strong we felt about it, but to see how much passion there was for it was incredible.” The U20 tournament will run Aug. 5-24 in Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Monc- ton. Canada is in a group with Ghana, Fin- land and Korea, playing two of its pool games at the National Soccer Stadium in Toronto and the other at Olympic Stadium in Montreal. “This will be a really great experience to have not just our parents but the whole country behind our backs, physically behind our backs,” says Sheridan. “I know they were there for us when we were at U17, but now we can see them, they’ll be cheering us on. It will be great for Canada I think.” Both players honed their games locally playing for the Pickering Soccer Club, but admit there’s nothing quite like putting on a red-and-white jersey. “The first time you put it on, you can’t really believe you’re getting that chance to represent your country,” says Prince, 19. “A million girls play soccer in Canada and we’re 21 girls at the end of the day getting that honour, so it’s just an amazing feeling and something I don’t take for granted. I don’t think any of us do.” “It’s just a rush seeing your name on the back of a jersey the first time it comes out of the equipment bag and out on the wall in a locker room,” adds Sheridan, who turns 19 on July 16. “It’s something that you dream about and you know a lot of people dream about, and when you put it on, it’s like a dream come true pretty much.” du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 20 AP Sports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 PICKERING -- Ajax’s Nichelle Prince, left, and Whtiby’s Kailen Sheridan will represent Canada at the U20 women’s World Cup of soccer being hosted by Canada this sum- mer.

Metroland File Photo Pickering’s John Moonlight captain Canada for rugby sevens team Will lead squad into Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland PICKERING -- Pickering’s John Moonlight will not only be competing at the XXth Commonwealth Games in Glasgow this month, but will be doing so as captain of Canada’s men’s sevens rugby team. Rugby Canada and Commonwealth Games Canada confirmed the athletes for the team this week, and Moonlight is prominent among them. Rugby Sevens is a sport on the rise in Canada as was witnessed throughout the 2013-14 IRB Sevens World Series. Can- ada’s men’s team finished a best-ever sixth place overall, with two top-three results, including a second place finish in Glasgow. The 12-member squad assembled for the Commonwealth Games features many familiar faces from this record-breaking season, including Moonlight, a 27-year- old Pickering native now living in Victoria, B.C. The Canadian team has been placed in Pool A with four-time defending cham- pions New Zealand, Barbados, and host- nation Scotland. “We’re excited about the team that has been selected for the Common- wealth Games and are eager to return to Glasgow,” said Steve Lancaster, Rugby Canada’s high performance manager, in a press release. “Our previous trip to Scotland this year was very positive, and our guys proved that they can succeed against the best in the world. We see the Commonwealth Games as a big opportu- nity for this team, and will be looking for another strong result in Glasgow leading us into next year’s Pan American Games in Toronto and the Rio Olympics in 2016.” A team of 265 athletes and close to 100 coaches and support staff will be in Glasgow, Canada’s largest team ever field- ed for a non-home Games. The event will be held from July 23 to Aug. 3. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Ju l y 1 0 , 2 0 1 4 21 AP Job SuccessStarts Here! • Business • Technology • Healthcare • Law • Supply Chain Internships available for most programs!
