See PICKERING page 5 Hudak vows to scrap trades group at Pickering campaign stop Durham hairstylist faces losing job over college’s test Jillian Follert jfollert@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Tim Hudak took aim at the Ontario College of Trades on Tuesday morning, calling it a “big obstacle” to people who want to work and vowing to axe it immedi- ately if elected June 12. The Ontario PC leader was in Pickering May 27 for a meeting with local hairstylists at a First Choice Haircutters location on Kingston Road. He pointed to Scugog resident Kailan Ambrose, who has worked as a hairstylist at the First Choice location in Ajax for seven years, and is now faced with losing her job. The local woman has spent about $800 making six unsuccess- ful attempts to pass a written test required by the College of Trades and now risks losing her licence if she doesn’t pass by February. See HUDAK page 6 Durham voters do their talking on camera DURHAM - The municipal elec- tion is five months away and we wanted to see what residents were thinking as they get ready to cast a vote for mayors, councillors and school board trustees on Oct. 27. We invited voters from differ- ent demographics to take part in a video roundtable where they could discuss what issues are impor- tant to them and what they look for in a municipal candidate. Our six-part municipal video roundtable series kicks off Sun- day, June 1. Over the next six weeks you’ll meet high school and college stu- dents, seniors, rural residents, business owners and low-income earners and advocates who all have something to say about our communities. You can hear what each group feels is important to their munici- pality, what services they feel are slipping through the cracks and what municipal politicians could do to make our communities a better place to live, work and play in. You can watch the video at dur- hamregion.com. And remember to check every Sunday over the next six weeks for a new perspec- tive on the municipal election. 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 • Ma y 2 9 , 2 0 1 4 2 AP Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens Cemetery Programs, Cremation Lot For 2 People *This is A Limited Time Offer* Hurray!

From travelling to far-off locations such as Morocco and South Korea, to learning first aid and survival skills, the 2525 Ontario Reg- iment Cadet Corps is a great way to equip teens for the world, says Captain Geoffrey Hickey. “It promotes leadership, physical fit- ness, citizenship and an interest in the Cana- dian Armed Forces,” he says. “And, it’s totally free. There is no cost to join and no fee for the uniforms and programs.” The local corps is marking its 60-year anni- versary by hosting a garrison parade at the Don Beer Arena in Pickering on June 1 and a celebratory dinner at Pickering Recre- ation Complex on June 7. The group serves Pickering, Ajax and Whitby and currently has 75 cadets between the ages of 12 and 18. The Royal Canadian Army Cadets is a fed- eral program with more than 18,000 cadets participating in 400 cadet corps across Can- ada. Cadet activities include map and com- pass reading, orienteering, first-aid training, camping and survival skills, canoeing, trek- king and mountain biking. As youth gain more experience, some try more advanced programs such as parachut- ing, white-water rafting and glacier climbing. Army cadets also take part in ceremonial military and community events, and some have the opportunity for international travel. In recent years, youth from the 2525 Cadets have visited Morocco, Australia, Costa Rica, South Korea, Italy and New Zealand. Captain Hickey says the aim of the local group is the same as it was when the 2525 Cadets was formed in May 1954 -- but some things have changed with the times. “We have become more in tune with infor- mation technology,” he says, noting the local corps now has a website and Facebook page.

Proceeds from the events will go to Bird Studies Canada.

Three Durham public schools officially open DURHAM -- At the Durham District School Board meeting on May 20, director Martyn Beckett announced the recent openings of three elementary schools in Durham. Seneca Trail Public School in Oshawa opened its doors last September, but celebrat- ed its official opening on April 23. The two-storey, 59,233-square-foot school on Queensbury Drive is home to both French immersion and English stream stu- dents. Retired Canadian astronaut Chris Had- field attended the opening of Chris Hadfield Public School in Brooklin on May 9. The two- storey, 58,633-square-foot school opened its doors to the community in September. Mr. Hadfield and students spoke and performed to celebrate the opening. The school is on Carnwith Drive West in Brooklin. David Bouchard Public School, a dual- track English and French immersion school on Wilson Road South in Oshawa, also opened to around 520 students last September. 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 • Ma y 2 9 , 2 0 1 4 4 AP Advertisement Juno Award winners MonkeyJunk performed recently at the Annandale Golf & Curling Club in Ajax as part of the Music By The Bay Live concert series.

Ajax-Pickering provincial election candidates debate education Hopefuls push their party’s platform, criticize opponents plans Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Education was the focus as three of the four provincial election candidates in Ajax-Pickering riding faced off in a debate Monday. Incumbent Liberal Joe Dickson, Progres- sive Conservative challenger Todd McCar- thy and Green Party hopeful Adam Nar- raway outlined their party’s respective education platform to about 100 people at Lincoln Avenue Public School in Pickering Village. Mr. Dickson said, “Our record on educa- tion not only speaks for itself. It speaks vol- umes. Our education system is second to none.” He said people from all over the world come and study the Ontario system. Under a Liberal government, test scores and graduation rates were up, Mr. Dickson noted. He added, “Tim Hudak wants to fire teachers.” Mr. McCarthy said, “We all want a great education for our kids.” By improving the economy and creating jobs, “we’ll maintain our world renown education system,” he said. “Ontario is in a precarious fiscal position because of 10 years of over-spending,” he said, adding it’s not the PC’s position to fire teachers. “We’ll protect classrooms. It can only be done with a strong economy and a bal- anced budget that protects education and health care,” Mr. McCarthy said. Mr. Narraway said, “We’re tired of the status quo. We’re tired of the same three political parties rotating through the sys- tem. I think we can make a better Ajax and Pickering. We can make a better Ajax and Pickering for our kids and grandkids.” NDP candidate Jermaine King wasn’t at the debate, as he had another commit- ment, moderator Jerry Wright said. Mr. Dickson said, “The Liberal gov- ernment restored public confidence in schools after years of neglect by the previ- ous government.” The government has introduced full-day kindergarten, built schools and introduced a 30-per cent tuition grant for low and medium-income families, he said. “Our schools are the best in the English world. We have higher test scores,” he said. “Education is the best investment in our economy and prosperity. The Progressive Conservatives want to makes cuts to the system.” He said Mr. Hudak’s proposal to elimi- nate 100,000 public sector jobs includes teachers and an increase in class sizes. Mr. McCarthy said there’s “a disconnect” between skills workers need and skills they have. “Good jobs are going unfilled. We want to make the education system for the next generation jobs ready.” Mr. Narraway said, “The PCs aren’t the only people with a plan for education and how to pay for it.” The Green Party would merge the pub- lic and Catholic systems, he noted, adding merging the two systems would save about $1 billion annually. He noted, however, that merging the systems would require a Constitutional change. He added it’s been done before in Newfoundland and Quebec. We Can Help!

Check Wednesday’s paper each week for complete details BE INFORMED! It’s part of the annual Home Safety program, which sees firefighters test smoke alarms and, if needed, install new ones at no charge. “It’s an aggressive approach, we want to tackle as many homes as pos- sible,” says Fire Inspector Julie Ineson. “Once we get in the home, we have a bet- ter chance of changing behaviours.” Ms. Ineson says it’s not uncommon for fire- fighters to encounter smoke alarms that don’t work, or have had the batteries removed. Often this is because people want to silence nuisance alarms. “These are easy problems to solve. We can help relocate the alarm, or provide an alarm with a hush feature,” Ms. Ineson says, refer- encing a button that can silence the alarm for a 10-minute period during cooking or other activities likely to set it off. Pickering Fire Services says having a smoke alarm on every storey and outside sleeping areas can increase survival rates by 50 per cent in the event of a fire. This year’s Home Safety campaign will also focus on the importance of carbon monoxide detectors. Pickering residents can request a home smoke alarm inspection any time of the year by calling 905-839-9968.

Mr. Hudak echoed that sentiment. “As far as I’m concerned, Kailan has already passed the most important test of all. Her customers love her and keep coming back,” the PC leader noted. The College of Trades is a regulatory body that aims to ensure skilled tradespeople have the necessary training and certification to practise their profession. It oversees 157 professions ranging from cooks and meat cutters to locksmiths and carpenters. Mr. Hudak called it “a phoney name for a bureaucracy,” and said the Liberals created the organization to reward their union sup- porters. “We don’t need an expensive government bureaucracy to tell people where to get their hair cut,” he added. The Liberals established the college in 2009 in response to several reports on the regula- tion of skilled trades. The Liberals and NDP maintain the self- regulating body is needed to make sure the public is safe. Fast facts Hudak addresses Durham’s commuter woes Tim Hudak says he will make life easier for Durham commuters if he’s elected June 12. In an interview during a May 27 cam- paign stop in Pickering, the Ontario PC leader promised “all day, two-way” service to make it easier for local residents to get in and out of Toronto. He said the party’s transportation plan would also see GO Transit’s definition of “rush hour” expanded to include 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. “There’s nothing more frustrating than to a young mom or dad living in Pickering or Ajax, when they have to choose between getting the kids to school with their project or getting to work on time,” he noted. Mr. Hudak also envisions better GO trains equipped with Wifi, cup holders and electric outlets. He said the fancier, more frequent trains would be funded by “commercializing” train stations and parking lots with the addition of stores and services. “Wouldn’t it be a lot easier on your life if you were able to purchase coffee, a snack, get your laundry done or even see your den- tist or health care professional in those build- ings?” Mr. Hudak said. Hudak says he’ll scrap trades’ regulator during Pickering stop PICKERING -- Kailan Ambrose is a hairstylist working in Ajax who is at risk of losing her licence to cut hair as she’s failed a written test required by the College of Trades. Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak hosted a town hall meeting with Ontario hairstylists at a First Choice Haircutters outlet in Pickering to share details of how his plan will create more skilled trades jobs by getting rid of the college.

I cannot believe the article about Pickering wanting to build another skate and roller blade area at a cost of $200,000 for kids who do not pay taxes. This is a City that raises our taxes each year at a rate higher than almost any other area in Ontario, a City constantly com- plaining about not having any money, yet it has the funds to build a skate and roller blade area. It just does not make sense -- unless your last name is McGuinty. If they want a skate/roller blade area, ask the moms and dads who don’t mind spending $5,000 to $10,000 a year to send little precious to play hockey each year. As a pensioner I cannot afford such luxu- ries, so why would I agree to waste it on a stranger’s kid? G.C. Olson Pickering Hudak’s vision made clearer To the editor: I know why Tim Hudak wants to elimi- nate 100,000 jobs. He is going to replace them with all the temporary foreign work- ers whose visas are being fast-tracked through the system courtesy of Mr. Harper. That would save a bundle. No benefits, no pensions, low wages. What a clever move on the part of the PC party. Marjorie Seymour Pickering Nurses are valued To the editor: Nurse’s week was recently observed, which for the most part went unnoticed. As a fellow nursing colleague, I want to say thank you for always providing excel- lent care to myself and many of my fam- ily members over the years. To the nurses in the hospital who are always run off their feet and often have to miss breaks and work overtime, sacrificing their own fam- ily’s needs for patient safety, know that you are valued. To the CCACs and staff who work so dili- gently to provide the services patients need when they go home, for trying to stretch a very limited budget in the best way they know how, you are valued. To all the visiting nurses, in particular Partners in Community Nursing, for being a dedicated nursing agency providing care to a diverse population, having to be a jack- of-all trades yet not getting compensated nearly enough for what you do, you are val- ued. Monique DeBrouwer D ecision day looms for voters in Pickering Voters in Pickering and Ajax have some decisions to make even before heading to the voting booth on June 12. Has Kathleen’s Wynne’s Liberal govern- ment earned another shot at leading the province given the heavy baggage of the cancelled gas plants? Can Andrea Hor- wath’s New Democrats convince Ontario voters they are the government in wait- ing? Will Tim Hudak’s Progressive Con- servatives really create one million jobs if elected without serious cuts in other sec- tors? These are just the headline issues that have marked the provincial election cam- paign, currently at the halfway point before Ajax and Pickering voters head to the polls in just two weeks. Here at home, residents have already had an opportunity to hear from the can- didates at a recent debate, and party lead- ers Wynne and Horwath squared off in northern Ontario on Tuesday (PC leader Tim Hudak passed on participating in that debate). Still, voters must take the responsibil- ity to learn more about the policies being pitched, get informed on the candidates who are seeking their support, and choose wisely on election day. The truth of it is -- at least in the out- come -- is that it all comes down to the individual voter. Every eligible voter must cast a ballot based on his or her own examination the issues, and of the expec- tations they have of the party who wins their support. We’ve said it in this space in the past, but it bears repeating: no government has been perfect. Each has been dogged with controversies, challenges, mistakes and dare we say it -- achievements. But this election is vitally important to voters and to the province. Do we reward the Liberals based on their record, opt for a radically different approach to governing offered by Tim Hudak’s PCs, or take a leap of faith with the untried Andrea Horwath and her New Democrats? Finally, one additional reminder: voter turnout was an abysmally low 49.2 per cent in the 2011 provincial election, a dis- appointing record. While disillusionment with govern- ments at all levels and of all stripes seems to grow with each decade, we must live up to our civic obligations and vote. Get informed, and cast a ballot on June 12. It’s the most proactive thing any of us can do to help guide our collective future. Governments come and go. But on election day, we always get what we ask for. -- Pickering News Advertiser 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 • Ma y 2 9 , 2 0 1 4 9 AP We have a winner. 60 Table Games • 545 Slots greatblueheroncasino.com Port Perry, ON /GreatBlueHeronCasino /gbh_casino Must be 19 years of age or older.

Key historic sites part of the educational tour through France and Italy DURHAM -- Thousands of students across Canada, includ- ing kids from six Durham schools, are preparing for the trip of a lifetime. Over the next week, they will see the pages of their history books spring to life as they travel to France and Italy on a journey with EF Educational Tours to commemo- rate the 70th anniver- sary of D-Day and the Liberation of Rome. Dave Rob- inson, a retired Port Perry teacher and current national advisor and co-ordi- nator with EF Educa- tional Tours, spoke of the importance of the tour in an inter- view with This Week when the trip was announced last year. “It started on the 60th anniver- sary in 2004 when I led a Durham excursion of 150 students from Port Perry and Oshawa and Bowmanville and then we’ve led student remembrance pilgrim- ages to Hong Kong, Italy, the Netherlands, Vimy Ridge, and now we’re going back to where we started 10 years ago,” said Mr. Robinson. EF (Education First) Tours Cana- da has provided educational tours of international destinations for students around the world for nearly 50 years. Durham schools participating this year include Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catho- lic High School in Oshawa, All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby, Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Second- ary School in Whitby, Ajax High School, Clarington Central Secondary School in Bowmanville, and Clarke High School in Newcastle. Parvaneh Pessian, reporter with Metro- land Media Group’s Durham Region Divi- sion, will be accompanying local students on the trip to provide daily coverage of the activities. While the tours vary depending on the school, key sites the students will be vis- iting include Juno Beach and the nearby Canadian museum and cultural centre, the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Monte Cassino, Italy and the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. All the tours will culminate in the 70th anniversary ceremonies for D-Day -- the allied invasion of Normandy and the start of the end of the Second World War -- on June 6, 2014. “The students will participate in the D-Day parade through the town behind the veterans who are in attendance and then we’re going to have a special cer- emony on the beach where our Cana- dian soldiers died coming to shore,” said Mr. Robinson. “Then we’ll go on to the national ceremony on Juno Beach and that evening, we’ll have a Canadian cele- bration for all the students together.” As part of the trip, each Durham student has been matched with the name of a soldier who died in Monte Cassino or on Juno Beach and they’ve researched who they were, where they came from, and where they’re buried. Mr. Robinson said every tour leaves an indelible impression on the participating students. “If you are a 15 or 16 year old and you’re in a parade wearing the name of a soldier that you’re representing, and as was the case in the Netherlands (in celebration of the 65th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in 2010), there are 80,000 people lin- ing the streets to cheer you on -- you’re going to remember that for the rest of your life.” -- Parvaneh Pessian will be providing updates throughout the trip at durhamregion.com SCUGOG -- Dale Robertson, of TCG who maintains the flag for the Port Perry Smart!Centre, left, presented Dave Robinson, of Education First Tours Canada, with a 15-foot by 30-foot Canadian flag, donated by Smart!Centres. Students from six high schools in Durham Region will be travelling with the flag to Italy to mark the June 4 anniversary of the Liberation of Rome, followed by a stop at Juno Beach for the June 6 anniversary of D-Day. The students will march with the flag in parades at both events.

Pets are very prone to overheating & heat stroke. Clinical signs of heat stroke include excessive panting, lethargy,“stumbling” & collapse. In severe cases, overheating can also cause bleeding disorders & death. Always ensure your pets have access to fresh water & somewhere they can go to cool down if needed. Try to prevent them from over exert- ing themselves with strenuous activity. Never leave your pet in the car, even if the windows are slightly open. It has been shown that the temperature in a car can climb to 50 degrees in less than 10 minutes! Pets with heart or lung disease should always be kept in cooler temperatures. Ask the Vet: Tips to prevent heatstroke?Written by Dr. Hillary Butler If you suspect your pet has over heated, please contact your veterinarian immedi- ately.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Festival features feathered friends this weekend For some free family fun in the great outdoors, be sure to head on over to the Feathered Friends Festival happening at the McLaughlin Bay Nature Reserve this Saturday, May 31 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This great celebration of birds, hosted by Friends of Second Marsh and GM Can- ada, should coincide with the peak of migration, and offer opportunities for some very special avian encounters. When all those migrating birds come winging their way north in spring, some from as far away as South America, they need expansive areas of natural habitat to drop off in. Oases of green where they can take a break from their long journey and fatten up for the next stage of their marathon flight. Oshawa Second Marsh is famous as a destination point for great flocks of birds in May, as well as flocks of humans who want to admire their beauty and expe- rience the huge variety of colour, song and behaviour of Canada’s songbirds and waterfowl. It doesn’t get better than that. As well as guided bird hikes led by experts, festival organizers have many other activities on offer, including live bird presentations and bird banding demos. Second Marsh put Durham Region on the map as the first nesting site for little gull in the Western Hemisphere, in 1962. Canadian Wildlife Services veteran Chip Weseloh will be giving a presentation on these rare gulls, which stop off in their migration each spring. You can build your own bird house, get a bird painted on your face, or help plant a bird-and-butterfly-friendly garden. Climb into the people-size nest built by Greg MacLeod and find out how a nest- ling feels before it learns to fly. After sampling all the festival fun -- and the Lions Club fundraising barbe- cue -- take a hike out to Lake Ontario to look for ruddy turnstones and sander- lings on the beach, or maybe a late flock of whimbrels flying by. En route through Cool Hollow, listen for catbirds, red-eyed vireos, orchard orioles and kingbirds. Check the edge of the marsh for marsh wrens, swamp sparrows and black- crowned night herons, and if you’re lucky, male wood ducks in their stun- ning breeding plumage. Bring binocu- lars. Park in the west lot at GM headquar- ters, 1908 Colonel Sam Dr., Oshawa, and follow the signs.

That’s why I would make sure to do prop- er research if I were to ever adopt one. And I would never get one because they look cute sitting in an Easter basket. After Easter, the Internet is flooded with bunnies for sale. Parents will buy them for their kids and quickly realize these rela- tively inexpensive pets require work, care, proper diet and exercise. Kelli Gombos, a Pickering environmen- tal and animal activist who has travelled the world rescuing animals -- dogs, cats and horses -- is currently back home and finds herself taking in unwanted rabbits. Mostly they come to her via referrals, and also from scouring Kijiji, where she looks for rabbits or their cages in poor condition. “If I can see their nails are three inches too long, I’ll ask for it,” she said. She believes that -- while she loves these animals -- rabbits don’t make the best pets, especially in families with young chil- dren, and too many people buy them on a whim. Not only do people buy rabbits for their kids around Easter, but because some greedy people know this to be true, the cycle continues. “Easter is the time when they will breed their rabbit and sell their babies for $10 or $20 each,” said Ms. Gombos. And not long afterward, these animals are dumped outdoors, or, for the lucky ones, given to her. “Usually the typical excuse is, ‘I got the rabbit for my kids,’” she said. “Sometimes they maul the rabbit too much and it trau- matizes it to a state of fear and aggression. It gets a little nasty. Or they get bored.” She also sees sad and neglected rabbits. She recalled taking an obese rabbit from a girl who had gotten it as a gift from her mother. She had to go off to school and dropped the animal off to Ms. Gombos. The rabbit had only pellets for food and no bedding. “The rabbit ended up dying in four days,” she said. “It’s upsetting because it died it my hands. (The owner) went off to school. Out of sight, out of mind.” Last week Ms. Gombos took in a rabbit with teeth so long that he could hardly eat and she had to take him to the vet to get his teeth cut. “That’s not even a serious case,” she said. “I’ve seen way worse.” She’s seen rabbits with teeth so bad that they’ve grown into the gum line. “The reason is diet,” she said. “Because they’re not getting enough fibre. They’re not grinding their teeth.” She said if someone is serious about get- ting a rabbit, it’s important to do proper research. They must provide them with a proper diet with a wide variety of food, items such as tree bark to nibble on (just make sure it’s a type that isn’t poisonous to them), and plenty of exercise. This is a topic I will revisit leading up to next Easter to hopefully ward people off of buying a bunny for the wrong reason. But hopefully people will think twice, even now, before heading to the pet store and purchasing a rabbit without giving it seri- ous thought. Contest The Pickering Animal Services pet photo contest is on until May 31 and pet owners can enter for a chance to win pet prize packs. Pet owners can submit photos that show- case their understanding of what it means to be a responsible pet owner, or share images of their pets having a great time in Pickering.

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.

Other acts playing over the three days include Jack de Keyzer and Fathead. Downchild plays June 14. It seems appropriate that this first blues festival will feature the orig- inal Canadian blues band playing. “There was zero blues around when I started in 1969,” says harpist and guitar- ist Donnie Walsh, who, along with his late brother ‘Hock’, founded the Downchild Blues Band (they dropped the blues band bit in the 80s.) The name came from a Sonny Boy Williamson II song. “There was one person,” he contin- ues. “Al Cromwell. He was folk and blues. He was very much a soloist, in the cof- fee house days. He was a neat guy, really good.” Walsh says his access to blues came from records but they were hard to find outside of major centres like Toronto or Montreal. The Colonial Tavern in TO offered jazz and blues acts too, he says. Musicians would play every night for the week and on Sat- urday there was a matinee. Local musi- cians who would be working throughout the week would go down in the afternoon to hear famous performers like Dizzy Gil- lespie and Roland Kirk. “It went on and on,” he says. “Fifty-two a year.” But mostly it was listening to recordings that got him hooked. Jimmy Reed, in par- ticular, was the one who did it. Reed was also an influence on the Yardbirds, the Rolling Stones and Neil Young. “It was the whole package, the sounds, the words but it was the groove,” says Walsh. “Most blues have groove to it.” That groove is very much still present in Downchild’s songs, including their most recent release, the Juno-winning Can You Hear The Music. The album, which features the Yonge Street Sam the Record Man sign on the cover, delivers several bouncing numbers that sway from Big Band swing to bobby soxer rock ‘n’ rollers. Jump-style Blues they call it. It is the Blues Brothers sound and the Walsh Brothers too, as the Dan Akroyd and John Belushi characters were based in part on the Toronto siblings. The film’s stars recorded two Downchild songs, Shotgun Blues and (I Got Everything I Need) Almost. “The one thing that I know over my whole career, is that the best thing that happened to the blues was the Blues Brothers,” says Walsh. “With their movies they made the blues and that style of music wide open for everyone all over the world. They had so many great artists in the movies.” Downchild has also had great artists in its lineup over the past 40 years. More than 80, in fact, and the present lineup also fea- tures players who are accomplished in their own right. Singer Chuck Jackson has been a Maple Blues award winner. Michael Fonfara was a member of Rhinoceros and has played keyboards for Lou Reed. Sax player Pat Carey has played with everyone from the Winnipeg Symphony to Big Daddy G. Bassist Gary Kendall is a multiple Maple Blues winner, eight so far, and another Maple Blues winner, Mike Fitzpatrick is on drums. With several more summer festivals right across the country to play, Walsh shows no signs of letting the Downchild get some downtime. “It’s totally great doing what I do and I have a great time doing it every time I do it,” he says. The blues have been great to him since he first dropped the needle on Reed as a teenager and perhaps some of that longev- ity will rub off on the West Blues Fest too.

Will McGuirk Scene & Heard Girls’ Choir in perfect harmony Alexa Battler abattler@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- With numerous international tours, competitions, performances and community outreach projects, the Durham Girls’ Choir gives more than just singing experience to its members. “It’s such a welcoming group of peo- ple with a lot of great girls,” says Courtice resident and senior choir member Mag- gie Hutchinson. “I’ve made a lot of lifelong friends and built a lot of self confidence.” For more than 40 years, the Durham Girls’ Choir has been committed to help- ings its members establish lasting friend- ships, confidence and leadership skills, along with a passion and skill for singing. And while Hutchinson is leaving the choir to pursue post-secondary education, the choir has made a lasting impression on her. “I will never let singing out of my life. I’ll be looking for a choir next year,” she says. This year the choir performed at ven- ues across Durham, and played the roles of street urchins in Oshawa Opera’s per- formance of Carmen. It also repeated its tradition of singing Christmas carols at The Carriage House Retirement Residence in Oshawa. “What I think makes the choir so spe- cial is its involvement with the community,” Hutchinson says. Every three years the choir travels overseas to perform. Its next international tour is in 2015. The choir will be touring Greece and Italy for 12 days and is per- forming at the 33rd International Choral Festival of Preveza. The choir is celebrating spring with its concert, Put Some Swing Into Spring. A variety of songs will be performed includ- ing music by Aaron Copeland, jazz songs, Disney classics and songs from Oklaho- ma, The Sound of Music and Carousel. “The concert will have some really fun, really interesting pieces,” says Hutchinson. “The juniors will be doing some really cute and adorable pieces while the seniors have more of a classical repertoire.” The concert is on May 31 at 7 p.m. at Faith United Church, 1778 Nash Rd., Courtice. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. For more infor- mation about the concert, or the Durham Girls’ Choir, visit www.durhamgirlschoir. org, contact info@durhamgirlschoir.org, or call 905-435-2596.

The veteran backstop and native of Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, joined the Panthers this season after spending the previous two seasons in the NOJHL with the Soo Eagles and Soo Thunderbirds, including a trip to the 2013 Dudley-Hewitt Cup with the Thunderbirds. Dombrosky kicked off this season with the CCHL’s Pembroke Lumber Kings, play- ing one game before being picked up by the Panthers. The five-foot-10, 165-pound goalie logged heavy minutes for the club, playing 50 games, eight more than his closest competitor, and 2,902:01 minutes played, more than 500 minutes more than his nearest competition in the OJHL. Dombrosky’s 22-20-6 record helped end a lengthy post-season drought as he led Pickering to its first playoff berth with an eighth-place finish in the North-West Conference standings, ultimately falling to regular-season league champion Kingston in the first round of the playoffs. Generals to get look at top prospects Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Generals will get a chance on Friday to see how a freshly- signed Cliff Pu stacks against other young prospects in the organization. Pu, selected 16th overall in the 2014 Ontario Hockey League draft and signed on Monday, will be one of 25 skaters born in 1998 or 1997 taking part in a day-long orientation camp at the General Motors Centre. Being the team’s only pick in the first three rounds, Pu is the most likely of the 1998-born players ready to make an impact, but general manager Roger Hunt is also keen to get a look at fourth-round pick Riley Stillman, fifth-rounders Luke Keenan and Domenic Commisso, and the rest of the new picks. They’ll be skating alongside several players drafted a year earlier, including defenceman Mitchell Vande Sompel and centre Sam Harding, who made signifi- cant contributions to a strong Generals team this season. “You get to see them under one roof and they’re getting to see what we’re all about as well,” said Hunt, speaking of the advan- tages of the camp. “It’s a good gauge for who’s here based on the fact that Sam and Mitchell played a full year in contributing roles. We’ll get to see what level they’re at compared to some of these other guys.” Pu scored 23 goals and 47 points in 33 games this season with the Toronto Marl- boros, who won the annual OHL Cup minor midget showcase tournament. He was listed as a five-foot-11, 168-pound centre for the draft, but Hunt said he played right wing as well, and is more likely to start his OHL career there. “I think he’s a skill player and he’s going to be put in a position with good players, skill players to make him succeed,” Hunt said. “You can never have too much skill and we were fortunate to get him where we got him. We’re really excited about it.” In addition to the 25 skaters, there will be four goalies at the orientation camp, and of them Oshawa’s own Shawn Mabley is the most likely to be fighting for a spot with the Generals for next season, Hunt said. The camp gets under way at 10 a.m. and includes on-ice sessions at 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and culminating at 5 p.m. with a Red vs. White game. Lots of fun at LOSSA track and field DURHAM -- Schools across the Region competed at the 2014 LOSSA track and field champi- onships at the Terry Kelly Field in Oshawa recently. Above, Matthew Lozano from Pickering High School and Corey Ross from Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School crashed through the water pit during the open boys’ 2000-metre steeplechase; left, Alexandra Matic from Dunbarton High School competed in the junior girls’ triple jump. Ron Pietroniro, Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Ajax Ironheads lose to Newmarket 9-4 AJAX -- The Ajax Ironheads fell behind against the Newmarket Saints and couldn’t recover, losing 9-4 on Tuesday night. Adrian Torok-Orban, Jake Gilmour, Thomas Dannecker and Cam Mancini had the goals for the Ironheads. The loss was the second in a row for the Ironheads, who fell to 4-7-0 on the season. They hosted the Clarington Green Gaels last night, and will head east for a weekend road trip with stops in Akwe- sasne on Saturday and Kahnawake on Sunday. 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 • Ma y 2 9 , 2 0 1 4 23 AP Our Community Needs You Our Community Needs You Join the STC Family Part Time Positions WE WILL TRAIN YOU Looking for drivers in Ajax, Pickering and Whitby Student Transportation 757 McKay Rd, #6, Pickering 1-905-686-7800 After hours call Patti1-905-999-0140 You can drive the Magic School Bus too!
