THURSDAY JULY 4, 2019 DURHAM — A steering com- mittee charged with overseeing exploration of a permanent agri- food education and event centre for Durham Region is continuing to seek public input as it looks to shift gears to a new phase in the project. The Durham Region Federa- tion of Agriculture (DRFA) launched a survey last year that saw more than 100 people share their thoughts on a proposed Dur- ham Region Agricultural Centre —a need that arose as the DRFA became buoyed by the success of its agricultural education pro- grams but somewhat handcuffed by its lack of a proper home base. IDEA OF DURHAM AGRICULTURAL, EDUCATION CENTRE STARTING TO SPROUT CHRIS HALL chall@durhamregion.com See FEDERATION,page 3 The Durham Region Federation of Agriculture is exploring the idea of creating a Durham Region Agricultural Centre. A cow milking demonstration was given during the Farm Connections Open House at the Luther Vipond Arena. The event provided attendees with an opportunity to learn about agriculture through various stations including meeting with farmers and various livestock and learning about dairy, beef, pork, poultry, sheep, land stewardship, vegetables, apples and crops.

It’s time to decide either we investigate the idea of a cen- tre or let things go as they are,” said Karen Yellowlees, a Nestleton farmer and ad- ministrative co-ordinator for the DRFA, last year. “Over the years there’s been additional things and more and more people have become involved so it’s got to the point where either we go forward to find out if there’s enough stakehold- ers or community interest or not.” The objectives of such a centre would be threefold: To have a permanent, staffed and innovative agri- cultural education facility to inform both the farm and non-farm population of Durham’s agri-food sector; to have an event space to house educational pro- grams from across the re- gion, adding the ability to make a connection to the community it will serve; and to have an indoor mar- ket component that would encourage entrepreneur- ship and contribute to the operating budget of the fa- cility. The federation, which serves as the voice of agri- culture across the region and advocates on behalf of farm families in Durham on local agricultural issues, used a Trillium Foundation grant awarded in 2018 to ex- plore the feasibility of estab- lishing a Durham Region Agricultural Centre. According to the consul- tants who carried out the study, in conjunction with the public opinion survey, the idea of an agricultural centre has merit and should be examined further. “The agriculture centre project (has) the ability to break even, would have high levels of utilization, would act as a catalyst for growth and development of the agriculture sector in Durham Region, would have a positive economic impact to Durham Region and (have) a realistic possi- bility of development,” con- cluded an executive sum- mary of the feasibility study report. “The consultant team found from their research that the feasibility analysis supports a conclusion to move the project into the second phase of analysis, which would involve the identification of a specific site and the development of a detailed business plan for a Durham agriculture cen- tre.” As part of the work that went into exploring the idea of an agriculture centre, 22 potential sites for the facil- ity were tossed around and then consultants worked with the steering committee to prioritize 15 sites to be evaluated based on a consis- tent set of criteria, which in- cluded factors such as site size, cost, availability, ac- cessibility and site-specific characteristics. From there, the steering commit- tee whittled its list down to four favoured sites for fur- ther investigation and pre- liminary design explora- tions. Those proposed sites in- clude a new-build on five acres near the intersection of Wilson Road South and Winchester Road East, south of Highway 407; adap- tive reuse of the 25.9 acres at the Brooklin Arena (67 Win- chester Rd. in Whitby); his- toric restoration of “Camp 30,” a boys training school, at 2020 Lambs Rd. in Cla- rington; and a new-build to be shared on lands with a Comfort Suites and Inn pro- posed for a Highway 7A lo- cation just west of Port Per- ry. “Those are very much proposed or potential sites,” stressed Yellowlees. “Noth- ing is written in stone.” If the agricultural centre does get off the ground, the steering committee is eye- ing a phased approach to its development and have iden- tified three steps — short-, medium- and long-term planning — in a bid to spread costs out over a lon- ger period. The earlier focus would be on items such as event space and an education ar- ea, an outdoor farmers mar- ket, a small meeting room and an office space and a commercial kitchen. The second phase would feature an indoor farmers market and the final phase would see an agricultural and her- itage museum, on-site res- taurant and greenhouse, and an outdoor garden for education programming added. The consultants’ report provided cost estimates, based on $300 to $400 per square foot, that projected work in the first phase to cost between $4.4 million to $5.8 million, followed by an- other $3.4 million to $4.5 million for the second part of the project. The final touches in the third phase could cost $1.8 million to $2.4 million. “Nothing has specifical- ly been taken off the table, we’re still open to con- cepts,” said Yellowlees, pointing to the centre’s cen- tral focus of educational programs. “We have to look at it as being all-encompass- ing so it will be seen as a hub for the public, whether it’s for food or agriculture or ed- ucation.” Education is a key com- ponent of what the DRFA does. Durham Farm Con- nections is the educational arm of the federation and for more than a decade now it has been running a pro- gram at the Luther Vipond Brooklin Memorial Arena each spring for elementary students. Each April, more than 1,200 Grade 3 students from across Durham visit eight stations set up within the arena to learn more about agriculture. And, for the past few years, the DFC has offered a high school- aged program, usually in the fall, that allows students to explore career opportu- nities in agriculture that are linked to the sciences. As well, the DFC pre- sents a “Celebrate Agricul- ture Gala” each fall. The first social gathering took place at the Royal Ashburn Golf Club five years ago but due to increased interest has relocated to a larger venue in Port Perry at the Scugog Community Centre. The gala will mark its sixth anniversary in 2019 when it’s held Oct. 24, beginning with a social hour at 5:30 p.m. and then dinner at 7 p.m. (email info@durham- farmconnections.ca to re- serve tickets). There’s no specific time line for a decision to be made on the proposed agri- cultural centre, but Yellow- lees expects the necessary studies to be wrapped up by this fall. “Our only deadline is to get the studies completed and as those continue and we talk to more people along the way, that way we’ll be directed down the path that’s going to be the most optimum and posi- tive,” she said. Anyone wishing to share their thoughts on the Dur- ham Region Federation’s proposal can email drfa- gric@gmail.com.

Torstar file photo STORY BEHIND THE STORY Reporter Chris Hall has been following the business of agriculture in Durham Region for years. The Durham Region Federation of Agriculture is continuing to garner the public’s thoughts on a proposed agri-food education and event centre as it further examines the possibility of such a facility as well as potential sites. THE ISSUE: DURHAM REGION FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE EXPLORING IDEA OF A NEW EDUCATION, EVENT CENTRE LOCAL IMPACT: FACILITY COULD PROVIDE RESOURCES, GROW AGRICULTURE SECTOR AND DRIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN DURHAM 9 | Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , J u l y 4 , 2 0 1 9 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m The Regional Municipalities of Durham and York, the owners of the Durham York Energy Centre (DYEC), have commenced an Environmental Screening Process in accordance with the Waste Management Projects Regulation (Ontario Regulation 101/07) of the Environmental Assessment Act to amend the Environmental Compliance Approval for the DYEC. The DYEC site is located at 1835 Energy Drive in the Municipality of Clarington, Ontario, Canada and has been in commercial operation since 2016. The DYEC is a waste management facility that produces energy from the combustion of residential garbage that remains after maximizing waste diversion programs in Durham and York Regions. The Proposed Undertaking:The Environmental Compliance Approval for the DYEC currently allows the facility to process up to a maximum of 140,000 tonnes per year of waste for disposal at the site. The Regions are proposing to increase this amount by 20,000 tonnes per year for a total of 160,000 tonnes. The facility is capable of processing 160,000 tonnes per year with its current equipment and is currently being underutilized despite demand for additional waste disposal capacity for residential waste within the Regions. If approved, the expanded tonnage will allow for greater usage of the existing facility, reducing the reliance on alternate waste disposal facilities outside the Regions’ borders. The Process:The proposed project is subject to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Park’s Environmental Screening Process for Waste Management Projects in accordance with Ontario Regulation 101/07 under the Environmental Assessment Act. The results will be documented in an Environmental Screening Report, which will be released for public and agency review. During the June 26, 2019 Durham Regional Council Meeting, Council provided the approval to conduct the Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference for a separate and possible future expansion to 250,000 tonnes per year at the DYEC. As well, Council approved plans to construct an anaerobic digestion facility with mixed waste processing. These are separate projects and will be conducted under individual approvals processes. Consultation:There will be public consultations this summer and fall regarding the study and information will be released as the study progresses.

Always online first at DurhamRegion.com/coldcase PICKERING - A tele- communications tower proposed on cemetery property in Claremont has gone back to the drawing board, after city staff rec- ommended council object to it, based on design and lo- cation. The 46-metre high tow- er, proposed by Shared Net- work Canada, at the Clare- mont Union Cemetery on Ninth Concession Road, didn't meet the city's cell- tower protocol, said direc- tor of city development Kyle Bentley in a report to Pickering's planning com- mittee. He noted the tower would be within 500 metres of eight residential proper- ties and would have a "sig- nificant visual impact." Dom Claros of Shared Network Canada said the company had looked for two years for a location to offer improved service to the Claremont community, which he said experiences "dead spots" in areas on Brock Road. Shared Net- work Canada looks first for city-owned property and then considers non-profit property, he said. "Changing the style or moving the location wouldn't help visually," he said, in explaining the com- pany's view on proposing a tri-pole, lattice-style de- sign, in the northwest cor- ner of the cemetery, where no burials have occurred. Alternative styles of a monopole would look "too big and white," said Claros. "We were open to it; we did explore that." In response to questions from councillors, Claros said a tree design that blends in with landscape would be suitable for one network carrier but wouldn't allow second and third carriers to join the tower in future. Rogers is the anchor tenant for the proposed tower, he said, and the proposed tower height would allow other carriers such as Bell and Telus to come on board lat- er. One Claremont resident objecting to the proposal said councillors Shaheen Butt and David Pickles had visited his home to look out his window to see for them- selves how a tower would impact him visually. "This thing will stand out like a sore thumb," he said, asking the city to "stick to the protocol." Doug Cummings of the Claremont Union Ceme- tery board of directors asked the planning com- mittee to defer the tower re- quest, to give Shared Net- work Canada the opportu- nity to work out its differ- ences with the city and neighbouring residents. The volunteer-run cem- etery board gets its revenue from plot sales and dona- tions, he said, with margin- al operating funds. Reve- nue generated from a tower on the site "would allow us to continue to operate," he said. Cummings said the cem- etery board has planted ce- dar and maple trees that will help shield the view of the tower as they grow. Coun. Bill McLean not- ed a lack of cellular service poses a safety issue for Claremont residents and said he'd be willing to sup- port the tower proposal as is. In response to questions from Coun. Maurice Bren- ner, Claros said Shared Network Canada would be willing to discuss the pro- posal further with city staff, to address the city's concerns. The planning commit- tee voted to defer the pro- posal back to staff to allow further discussions with Shared Network Canada.

"That's really pushing it," resident Aline Revoy said of building heights proposed as part of a master plan for Picker- ing's future central core. "We'll have this big tall tower in the middle of the Pickering Town Centre." The resident of the Espla- nade North drew applause when she said many residents of the central core feel the proposed building heights will affect their window views and won't fit in with the look of the community. The city is working with OPB Realty, owners of the Pickering Town Centre, to redevelop mall property west of Glenanna Road for a future central library, com- bined seniors' and youth centre, a 50-storey residential condo building on top of the seniors' and youth centre, and an arts centre. The city's property, east of Glenanna Road and south of the Esplanade (where a public park- ing lot is now) is proposed for residential zoning for buildings up to 40 storeys tall. "It's a very dynamic change," said Pickering chief administra- tive officer Tony Prevedel dur- ing Monday's special planning committee meeting, held for public information. The closure of the mall's Sears store presented a "unique opportunity" for the city to work with the shopping centre in looking at a potential library ex- pansion, he said. The Sears wing of the mall is to be demol- ished. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a true landmark," said Prevedel. "No one said creating a new and dy- namic downtown would be easy." The taller builders are envi- sioned as slender towers, said George Buckles of Cushman & Wakefield, managers of the Pickering Town Centre. The conceptual master plan for the proposed new downtown was prepared by OPB Realty. "A lot of energy and time was put into the quality in terms of livable space," said Buckles, who explained the closure of Sears "unlocked" 10 acres on the site. Residents spoke at the micro- phone for nearly two hours to voice displeasure at the building heights. "It's all very exciting," said one woman, explaining it's the building heights she's opposed to. "The building will be an eye- sore. Why is it going from 15 sto- reys to 40 and 50 storeys? I don't understand that." Chief planner Catherine Rose said the intent is to create a "signature, landmark building." But not everyone spoke against the building heights. "This place needs unimagin- able vision," said one man. "Do not fear the future; progress is relentless ... this will become a true city, not a pretend city." Coun. Kevin Ashe, who chaired the meeting, said he'd made a list of residents' con- cerns, which included the shad- owing impact of the buildings, transportation and environ- mental issues, wind tunnels cre- ated by tall buildings, parking, and services such as policing and garbage collection. No decisions were made Monday. Staff will bring a rec- ommendation report to the planning committee at a later date. A business case for the project will be before council in July, said Prevedel. PICKERING SENIORS CONCERNED OVER FUTURE DOWNTOWN BUILDING HEIGHTS JUDI BOBBITT judibobbitt@gmail.com NEWS PICKERING SENIORS CONCERNED OVER DOWNTOWN BUILDING HEIGHTS PICKERING - The Pickering Public Library is gearing up for a summer of fun for children and teenagers. A new Jr. Maker Kit pro- gram and the returning Sum- mer Reading Club and Thank Goodness It's Summer program all launch in early July. The kickoff for the Summer Reading Club, for kids ages 12 and under, and the launch of the Jr. Maker Kit program are set for Tuesday, July 2. A launch party for the award-winning Summer Read- ing Club will be held at the Pick- ering Farmers Market at The Esplanade South and Glenanna Road, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Children will be able to sign up for the Summer Reading Club, while enjoying treats, a scaven- g er hunt, a bouncy castle and other activities. The Summer Reading Club is both educational and fun, en- couraging children to read and review books, track their read- ing progress and share what they learn with friends and li- brary staff. The nationwide program is free and offers a variety of fun, reading-related activities for kids to keep them engaged with reading all summer. It's held at local libraries across Canada and online, so children can en- joy the program no matter where their summer takes them. The new Jr. Maker Kit pro- gram also launches at 10:30 a.m. July 2. It's geared for children but offers fun for the whole family. Details will be available at both the Pickering Farmers Market and the Central Li- brary. Participants can book one of 10 unique kits from the library's Maker Space, designed to facil- itate learning and play for all skill levels through hands-on experience. Available Maker Kits include Circuit Beats (to make music), Code & Go Mouse Mania (to learn the fundamen- tals of coding), Squishy Circuits (to create electrical circuits with conductive and insulating Play-Doh), and more. Each Maker Kit relates di- rectly to science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM programs). Visit the library's Maker Space to borrow a kit - available for a two-week loan period - de- pending on availability. The popular Thank Good- ness It's Summer program for teenagers launches outside the library Wednesday, July 3 from 2 to 4 p.m. Those who register for the summer reading challenge pro- gram read books of their choice to earn ballots and win prizes. Thank Goodness It's Sum- mer has been an inclusive, on- going program at the Pickering Public Library for four years, with participating teens who have joined the library family either as volunteers with the Teen Advisory Group, or as em- ployees.

And they did it against their Durham rivals, no less, a team they've hardly ever beaten previously. The Ironheads went in- to the Ontario Lacrosse Association playoffs with a franchise-best 13-7 regu- lar season record, but were tasked with trying to upset a Green Gaels team that was 19-1 and which had a string of 30 straight wins in head-to-head play dating back to May 20, 2011. The stars aligned for the Ironheads, however, beginning with a 12-9 win in Bowmanville June 20 and concluding with vic- tories of 9-4 and 7-6 after a 13-9 Game 2 loss. "It's been a long time coming, attributed to our coaching staff and obvi- ously some tremendous heart and determination by these players," said general manager Ron Reed. "We felt it was possi- ble, but we had to get the kids to believe that it was. We felt we matched up well against them, and then when we won the first game, I think that gave our kids a boost of confidence." Reed, 63, joined the team as head coach in 2003 when it was based in Markham, and has been GM for the past eight or so years. A retired police officer, he still occasionally stands behind the bench, but has handed the coach- ing duties over to Pat Gre- goire, Brock Levick, James Malloy and Mike Lum-Walker - the former three all being one-time captains with the team. "It's tremendous to see these guys give back," Reed said. "All four of them are phenomenal young men and they all contribute. The team has bought into what they're teaching and have stayed focused and determined." The series upset was made possible by contri- butions from all over the floor, and came despite losing Cameron McGinnis -the team's main faceoff man and second leading scorer - after he rolled his ankle warming up for Game 3. Led by goalie Tyler Newman, the Ironheads managed to hold the po- tent Green Gaels offence to just four goals on their home floor in that game, on June 26. "Holding the Gaels to four goals was just a tre- mendous effort all the way around ... because they're an awesome squad," Reed pointed out. "Newman played some of the best goalkeeping I've ever seen him play. We knew he was capable of it, we knew he had it in him, and he just happened to hit his stride at the right time here." Mark Wilson led the Ironheads offensively with 12 goals and 14 points in the series, while Aidan Conlon chipped in with seven goals and 12 points. McGinnis had been lead- ing the way with 10 points through the first two g ames. Brock Haley and Adam Kitchen combined for a whopping 33 points for the Green Gaels, who never- theless saw their offence dip from averaging 13.65 goals per game during the regular season to just eight in the playoffs. "They're a talented group over there and a tre- mendous organization," Reed said. "To beat them was just an absolute thrill for us and we're hoping we can keep this thing going." It doesn't get any easier for the Ironheads, who now move on to face an Akwesasne Indians team that swept Brampton after a 20-0 regular season. T he best-of-five East Conference semifinal will begin with two games this weekend at the Pickering Recreation Complex, Sat- urday at 7:30 p.m. and Sun- day at 2 p.m. The remain- ing three games, as need- ed, will be played in Akwe- sasne the following weekend. IRONHEADS KNOCK OFF MIGHTY GREEN GAELS Green Gaels' Brock Haley and Ironheads' Kris Veltman battled for the ball in Ontario Lacrosse Association Jr. B action earlier this season. The Ironheads upset the Gaels in the opening round of the playoffs, winning three games to one. Jason Liebregts/Torstar BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@ durhamregion.com COMMUNITY JR. B LACROSSE TEAM ADVANCES TO 2ND ROUND FOR 1ST TIME Did the headline get your attention? First off, thank you so much for taking the time to read and, more important- ly, respond to my articles. I have been so humbled by the volume of feedback that I have received since I started this monthly offer- ing about one-and-a-half years ago. Anyway, this week I thought I would respond to a question that I have re- ceived on several occa- sions. Usually it goes something like this: "Hey coach, what's the best ex- ercise for hockey? Or to lose weight? Or to look good in my weeding dress? Or be able to fit into my Canada Day speedo again?" Get the picture? The truth is any com- plete exercise regimen must include the seven primal movement pat- terns - push, pull, squat, lunge, bend, twist and gait. However, I will say this: In order to build a solid foundation from which to build an athlete I like to talk about the four pillars. In my opinion, those are the bench press, squat, deadlift and clean (and their variations of course). Now if you only had time for one exercise I would say you can never go wrong with the deadlift. In terms of bang for your buck, there are few exer- cises that can match the deadlift. And whether you are an athlete or not, it has tremendous carry over in- to all areas of your life. Similarly, you can nev- er say you don't have time to exercise. Nobody ever said that you have to go to the gym for an hour or more. Just run to your basement and bang out 10 sets of deads. Never more than three at a time (I'll write an article on the evils of CrossFit at a later date). And if you don't have a g ym at home, just grab some boulders from your backyard or go find some rocks or fallen trees in the forest behind your house and deadlift those. Now that's old-school hood at its finest right there! You can absolutely kick the snot out of yourself if you were to do one set of one to three reps every 30 seconds or every minute. Super effective, super time efficient and enough to get a great kick of endocanna- binoids. The same holds true for the bench press, the squat, cleans, and even pull ups, which to me really are a clean derivative. So quit your whining and complaining and get after it. No gym member- ship required. Till next time, remem- ber: "You can't fake strong!"

Better known as 'Wamp' or 'Wamper,' Power spent most of his waking hours in- volved in lacrosse in some capacity prior to an accident in September 2017. He was 71. "He was a great contribu- tor to the game," said Doug Luey, Major Series Lacrosse commissioner and presi- dent of the Jr. B Green Gaels. "If it wasn't for him and his efforts and Stan Shillington in B.C., there would be no la- crosse records." Born and raised in Osha- wa, Power's love for the game started at a young age and was focused squarely on the Oshawa Green Gaels in the 1960s, despite the fact that he twice failed to make the team himself; he long wondered if the late Jim Bishop, legendary coach and disciplinarian with the Green Gaels, disapproved of his long hair. Although he spent some time living in New Bruns- wick, Nova Scotia, Yukon and Alberta, it was Oshawa that he again called home in 1985, and it was rare not to see him at games involving the Brooklin Redmen (now Brooklin Lacrosse Club), Brooklin Merchants, Whit- by Warriors, Green Gaels or any other team that played in the region. Living above the Singer sewing store in downtown Oshawa, Power's apartment was a tribute to the game in general and one player in particular, as he dubbed it the 'Gaylord Powless Lounge' in honour of the for- mer Green Gaels great. Mixed among the lacrosse paraphernalia collected throughout his life was a three-foot-high stack of stats, stories and photos - the hard copy of what became www.wampsbibleoflacros- se.com. "My whole life is la- crosse," he proudly pro- claimed in 2008, when he was inducted into the Onta- rio Lacrosse Hall of Fame. "I was never any good at it, but I had the spirit." Without a driver's li- cence, Power would rely on others to give him a lift to games, or find his way through other means. At its most extreme, this once saw him hoof it from downtown Oshawa to the east end of To- ronto to see the Beaches play a game at Ted Reeve Arena - a nine-plus hour walk, ac- cording now to Google Maps. Considering he was re- covering at the time from a stroke and quadruple by- pass surgery, thankfully someone on the other end drove him home after the game. "There was never a dull moment when you around the Wamp," said friend Ron Messer, who first met Power while announcing at Green Gaels games. "He was great guy, terrific conversational- ist, even beyond lacrosse. He was pretty canny about what goes on in the world." Power's nickname was a shorter version of wampum -beads used as money by First Nations - a name that he gave himself to impress some girls in the 1960s. He witnessed no short- age of championships over the years, but Luey said he never saw him happier than when Brooklin won the Mann Cup in 2000, which re- mains the team's most re- cent championship. "He was wearing his Red- men jersey and you would think he had scored the win- ning goal," Luey said of Pow- er, who watched the game from his familiar spot be- hind the penalty boxes. "He will be missed, that's for sure." BIBLE OF LACROSSE LASTING LEGACY OF 'WAMPER' Larry Power, shown here with the Creator's Cup won by the Durham Turfdogs in 2016, died at age 71 on June 23, 2019. Facebook photo COMMUNITY BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@ durhamregion.com OSHAWA SUPER FAN, HISTORIAN DIES AT 71 AJAX - Connor McMi- chael sure wouldn't have been alone in his disap- pointment had he been snubbed in the first round of the NHL draft Friday, June 21 in Vancouver. Fortunately for the Ajax native and a throng of more than 20 family members and friends there to sup- port him at Rogers Arena, he didn't have to wait for Saturday's second round, scooped up with the 25th overall pick by the Wash- ington Capitals. An 18-year-old centre who put up 36 goals and 72 points in 67 games with the London Knights during the Ontario Hockey League regular season, McMichael admitted to a range of emo- tions while being inter- viewed by reporters after the selection. "It's awesome. I don't think the feeling has really sunk in just yet, but I'm re- ally excited and I'm really happy to be heading to Washington," said McMi- chael, the first forward to be taken in the first round by the Caps since 2014. "Ev- ery pick that went by I was getting a little more wor- ried because obviously you want to go as high as possi- ble." McMichael arrived in Vancouver Wednesday and did some sightseeing with family, he told reporters. On Friday, he was support- ed by his parents, grand- parents, siblings, billets and friends, a number to- talling around 22, he said. "Today was one of the longest days of my life," he admitted Friday. "I was just really excited to get to the draft and then once it kind of got going, I was a little bit nervous. Now we're here, so I'm really excited." Ranked 24th among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting, McMichael is touted for his skating ability, hockey sense and ability to pro- duce in the offensive end, but is also considered to be strong defensively. Listed as six-foot and 182 pounds, he entered the OHL as the 11th overall pick of the Hamilton Bulldogs in 2017 but was traded by the eventual OHL champions to the Knights in a deal in- volving Robert Thomas. After just 16 points as a rookie, McMichael had a breakout sophomore sea- son, although did tail off with only 11 points in the fi- nal quarter of the season and five in 11 playoff games. "They're able to take you along slowly with their pro- gram and ultimately put you into the NHL like they've done before," he said of the Knights, who are coached by former Capitals captain Dale Hunter. "I'm in a great sport right now." Nolan Foote, son of Whitby native Adam Foote, was also selected in the first round, 27th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning. A left winger who put up 36- 27-63 stats in 66 games with the Kelowna Rockets, No- lan joins his brother Cal- lan, a defenceman, who went 14th overall to the Lightning two years ago. Whitby's Ethan Keppen, who had 30-29-59 numbers in 68 games with the Flint Firebirds, was selected in the fourth round by the Vancouver Canucks, while Mason Primeau, son of Whitby native Wayne Pri- meau, and Pickering goalie Cole Brady went in the fifth round, to the Las Vegas Golden Knights and New Jersey Devils respectively. Blake Murray of Ux- bridge, who had 30 goals and 50 points with the Sud- bury Wolves, was chosen in the sixth round by the Car- olina Hurricanes. Although Danil Antro- pov, Mitchell Brewer and Nando Eggenberger were eligible for the draft, it was a rare year in which no members of the Oshawa Generals were selected. John Farinacci and Ow- en Lindmark, American- born players who have been drafted by the Gener- als but are committed to the NCAA, were selected in the third round by the Arizona Coyotes and fifth round by the Florida Panthers re- spectively.

DURHAM/NORTHUM- BERLAND - Jeremy Smith says he asked Driftwood Theatre Group "to share something I thought was really interesting" with the Oshawa and Durham com- munity. It was Shake- speare, who lived hun- dreds of years ago but whose plays are built around timeless themes. It's mind-boggling that that was a quarter century ago. "In all honesty, when I started this journey I cer- tainly wasn't expecting this, I wasn't expecting 25 years," the Oshawa native says in an interview. "I wasn't expecting for Drift- wood to become, to this point, my life's work, my career to this point." Driftwood's Bard's Bus Tour is set for its annual run around towns and cit- ies in southern Ontario. After so many years, one would think Smith and his peers could put on a Shakespeare play in their sleep. Think again. Smith suggests while the text of the play may not change, everything else does: The company presenting it, the audience, and the world in general. "I don't think we've hit the formula," he said in re- sponse to a question, sug- gesting there really isn't one. "I think the conditions ... have changed (since we began). Our community has changed. We live in a post 9/11 world." And Smith says he is al- so a different person. It means he has to keep re- flecting on a work, consid- ering how best to present it, make it clear and relat- able to today's audience. And so it is with this year's play, A (Musical) Midsummer Night's Dream, where the world of forest fairies meets the ac- tual world. It's the fourth time the company has per- formed the play and the third time they have done it as a musical. Smith says the play, one of Shakespeare's most pop- ular comedies, "has an ele- ment of charm to it that people respond to." But there's another reason why he picked it: the last time Driftwood performed the Dream as a musical, in 2012, it left him unsatisfied. As there was no music to support the a cappella singers, in 2012 a backing track was used. And there was a lot of singing in the work. Maybe too much. Smith says they seemed like good ideas at the time, but in retrospect they were not. The play "lost some of its visceral quality" and so this year some of the songs have been removed and a musical director and vo- calist are a part of the show, in full view of the au- dience, existing solely to sing. One thing that remains the same is Smith's role which, he says, is to bring a community together to share in storytelling. All performances are pay-what-you-can admis- sion. But you can reserve a seat at the recommended admission price of $30. You can also book a chair or a cushion at www.drift- woodtheatre.com. Here's the 2019 Dur- ham/Northumberland schedule.

The prize's long list of 40 albums was announced on June 20, whittled down from 233 records by a 199- member jury. Appearing on the list are Oshawa band Dizzy's debut record, Baby Teeth. The album won Dizzy Al- ternative Album of the Year honours at the Juno Awards in March. Pickering artist Shawn Mendes, who took home five Junos earlier this year, is also on the long list for his album, Shawn Mendes.
