New Durham incinerator hits further delays Boilers taken off line to correct issue with steam temperature Jennifer O’Meara jomeara@durhamregion.com CLARINGTON -- Clarington’s new energy- from-waste facility will be delayed a sec- ond time because the boilers aren’t operat- ing properly and the ongoing startup period could cost Durham Region an extra $1 mil- lion. “I’d rather see it delayed and done right than rushed,” said Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster. The Durham York Energy Centre facility, located in Courtice, was scheduled to be fully operational on Dec. 14, 2014. Now the Durham York Energy Centre is not expect- ed to be in full working order until the last quarter of 2015. The major systems of the EFW facility have been tested. The boiler temperature is high enough for the combustion pro- cess but the steam temperature isn’t high enough, and officials aren’t sure what the problem is, says Durham’s works commis- sioner, Cliff Curtis. The steam temperature has to be high enough to drive the turbine-generator. If the steam is too cool it can damage the turbine. “It’s like running a car without oil,” said Mr. Curtis. Covanta, the company building and operating the facility for Durham and York regions, has taken the boilers down for modifications, according to Mr. Curtis. It’s expected to take three weeks for the repairs and modifications. Then there will be a four-week demonstration period, followed by a 30-day acceptance test. “We’re not getting the temperature we expected out of the boiler. Once we get the temperature up, I think everything will fall into place,” said Mr. Curtis. “It’s Covanta’s problem to deliver us the product that per- forms the way they said, so they’re going to take the time they need.” The delay means added consultant costs for construction management, legal advice and baseline ambient air monitoring. A Durham Region works report said Dur- ham’s share of the additional costs is $1 mil- lion, which can be provided from a tempo- rary draw on the solid waste management reserve fund. “What’s the final cost going to look like?” said Clarington Regional Councillor Joe Neal, who added he still has concerns about the emissions meeting the Ministry of Envi- ronment rules. “There are clearly issues with getting it started out.” Since Jan. 16, Durham has been charging Covanta a $10,000-a-day late fee for every day the EFW facility is not fully operational. The invoice has been sent to Covanta, but it hasn’t been paid yet, according to Mr. Cur- tis. In mid-February, the incinerator began burning its first haul of curbside garbage. It was part of a testing phase before the facility opens fully. Durham cancelled landfill contracts and began sending garbage to the Courtice facil- ity. Some garbage was burned at the EFW plant during the test phase, without pro- ducing power to the grid. Covanta has also been sending the trash to its incinerator in New York state, or landfills in the Niagara region. Until the EFW facility is up and running, the Region only pays Covanta half price of the agreed upon per-tonne fee. However, Durham isn’t making any money until the plant is fully operational and selling power back onto the grid. “We’re still on budget. I’d rather be getting electricity sales on the grid,” said Mr. Curtis. The plant construction is coming in slight- ly under budget, according to the works commissioner. There are a few loose ends that could end up costing Durham Region more money. There is still disagreement with former property owners on the value of the land expropriated for the facility, and a ruling is not expected until fall of next year. The final cost for the utility construction and connec- tion costs is expected in coming months. The baseline ambient air monitoring runs until the EFW facility is operational, so the delay in opening means an ongoing moni- toring cost. “There’s some minor cost over-runs on some of the smaller items but generally we’re financially on track to bring this in on budget and we look forward to having it online by the end of the year,” said Mr. Cur- tis. CLARINGTON -- Work on the Durham York Energy Centre in Courtice continues. The energy from waste project has been delayed and incurred added costs as a result.

The Durham District School Board announced Wednesday that report cards will be sent home with its 47,465 elemen- tary school students on June 25. Local parents have been waiting for an update after several other public school boards in Ontario -- including Peel, York and Waterloo -- revealed students would only receive “pass/fail letters” this year. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is providing report cards for Grade 8 students only, and letters for those in kindergarten to Grade 7, while the Toron- to District School Board reversed earlier plans to send a letter only and will now provide grades. Members of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario are in the midst of a work-to-rule campaign that started May 11 and includes withdrawal of some adminis- trative duties. Teachers have submitted grades for stu- dents, but they are refusing to enter them into the electronic system used to cre- ate report cards, or to provide report card comments. DDSB superintendent Luigia Ayotte says the marks provided by teachers are “in various formats. “They’re just handing in written docu- ments with no standard format, there is no consistency,” she notes. The challenge in Durham has been find- ing the resources to electronically enter the grades, she says. For example, Ms. Ayotte notes teachers are typically given a full PA day to do that work. “If you have a staff of 28 teachers for example, that’s 28 full days of work. If you have one or two administrators ... it would take them a long time to do that same amount of work.” DDSB chairman Michael Barrett esti- mated earlier this month that it could cost up to $400,000 for extra resources. School board spokeswoman Andrea Pid- werbecki said Wednesday that no addition- al staff have been brought in, noting “inter- nal resources were redeployed to the task.” She said any costs would be “minimal” and would relate to supply coverage for administrators. The school board said elementary report cards will include marks for learning skills, marks for all subject areas and class pro- motion information for the 2015-2016 school year; there will not be any com- ments on the report cards. The school board is encouraging parents with questions about their child’s progress to contact their child’s teacher before the end of the school year. Page 6 - Today’s editorial ‘‘They’re just handing in written documents with no standard format, there is no consistency.’ DDSB superintendent Luigia Ayotte Durham school board will hire extra EAs to cushion blow of special education cuts DURHAM -- The Durham District School Board will still cut special education pro- grams next year, but trustees voted Monday to cushion the blow slightly, by providing extra support for affected students. At a June 15 meeting, trustees approved the school board’s 2015/2016 budget, including a motion to hire four temporary full-time education assistants using $200,000 from reserve funds. Transportation will also be provided to affected students for one year, to allow them to remain at their current school if they choose. On June 3, Pickering Trustee Chris Braney moved a motion to reverse the cuts and reinstate the special education classes using reserve funds. “Cuts to special education can be cata- strophic to students and families,” he noted. After lengthy debate trustees opted to provide transitional supports instead, but Trustee Braney says it’s still a win. The coming school year will see the DDSB eliminate all five kindergarten language classes, scrap three out of four learning strategies classes and cut behaviour inter- vention classes from five to two. The decision stems from changes to the way the Ministry of Education funds special education. The DDSB stands to lose $1.5 million in funding over four years. 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 n e 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 5 AP 5 FREE BONUS BALLOTS REDEEM THIS AD at the Rapid Rewards Players Club to receive June 7 - 25, 2015 •Every Sunday - Thursday 6 Winners each promotional day.

It is unbelievable that the Ministry of Education appears to be in violation of this same Act by drop- ping funding to help our most vulnerable children and that our DDSB will lose over $1.5 million in funding over four years. The DDSB plans to cut several special education classes and three of the four learning strategies classes and all of the five kindergarten language classes. This is a devastating loss for all the children who would have benefited from these classes, especially in their early years of schooling. If these classes all disappear then these students will have a continuing struggle in future school years. What will the DDSB do then to meet the requirements of the Edu- cation Act? The fact that Ministry of Education spokesman Gary Wheeler said the DDSB is projected to receive more than $95 million for the 2015/2016 school year is almost laughable as he compares this increase of 80 per cent since 2003, which was 12 years ago. The student population has increased over that same period and with better tools to identify students with special needs, I am sure the DDSB should be looking at increasing all programs that serve these children (estimated to be 17 per cent of students, or about 12,000 children). Alison Herrington Durham College was successful prior to 1988 To the editor: Re: Polonsky ponders past, present and future, news, June 3. When Gary Polonsky arrived at Durham College, the largest division in the college was the business division. Female stu- dents were present in all the core business options. In addition, almost all the students in the secretarial and the legal office admin- istration programs were female. The college also had dental hygiene and dental assis- tant courses. The comment that he came to a white male technology college is not quite correct. It is true that there was smoking in the halls. At that time, governments were begin- ning to enforce non-smoking regulations and the college had to comply with the new regulations. Your article implies that Durham College was insignificant before 1988. I am sure that former students, staff, and faculty would disagree with that impression. Many stu- dents who attended the college in the first 20 years of its existence enjoyed the col- lege experience and were successful in their careers. Rick Hird Picture this: Johnny started the school year with some trepidation, but had a teacher committed to his success. Through hard work, coaching and sup- port, Johnny’s grades improved markedly throughout the year. His final report could contain his first ‘A’, but Johnny might not see it. His parents might not either. His teach- er, despite a year of academic success, isn’t going to fill out his report card because she’s been told not to by her union bosses. Johnny might reasonably ask: What did I do wrong? Why is teacher doing this to me? Good questions both, and a sorry reflec- tion of what is going on in schools around Ontario under the aggressive, off-putting leadership of the province’s teacher unions. However, thanks to the efforts of adminis- tration staff in Durham, students will be get- ting some semblance of a report card next week. Those administrators, it must be noted, will finish the job teachers refuse to com- plete. First it was public high school teach- ers who turned their backs on students by engaging in an illegal six-week walkout. Now, elementary school teachers have taken their defiance against the provincial government to the next level by refusing to finish the jobs they started in September by filling out vitally important year-end report cards. It’s the latest ratcheting up of tensions from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario as this school year lurches to a close, and potentially sets the stage for fur- ther affronts come September. That the union remains upset with the provincial government is nothing new, given that it has fought with governments over every stripe in recent years. But union leadership continues its galling double- speak and transparently self-serving rheto- ric even as it counsels members to abandon key responsibilities, such as the filling out of report cards as the school year ends. How can teachers support these tactics? How are parents to interpret the conflict between union platitudes (“we’re doing this for the children”) and the conduct that directly affects those they purport to be fighting for? Ontario parents have had enough and, by extension, must make that message clear to MPPs to ensure that the Province holds firm this time around. There is no more money. The fountain of goodwill shown teach- ers has run dry. The patience of families is wearing as thin as the excuses of union leaders. In some parallel world, perhaps, teachers and their union bosses set the terms of their collective agreements, the hours in which they work, the number of students they teach, and the salaries and pensions they collect. In some parallel world, perhaps, but not this one. -- Metroland Media Group Ltd., Durham Region Division Durham Region teachers: finish the job du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 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 n e 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 7 AP Ph o t o s : K e v a n A s h w o r t h , P e t e r S e l l a r @CL_Play ersClub Clu bLink Play ers Club A Players Club membership gives you a season full of golf at Cherry Downs Golf Club and ClubLink’s other outstanding daily fee courses.

Pickering Soccer Centre new site for cardiovascular rehabilitation PICKERING -- A new program site to help residents improve their cardiovascular health has been set up in Pickering. Ontario is investing in a regional cardiovas- cular rehabilitation and secondary preven- tion service, which will serve the Central East Local Health Integration Network, specifical- ly those who are at high risk, to improve their vascular health. The Central East LHIN stretches from Scar- borough, across Durham Region, into Nor- thumberland County, Peterborough, the City of Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County. The Rouge Valley Health System has received an investment of $1 million, and under its guidance, new sites will be estab- lished to expand cardiovascular rehabilita- tion and secondary prevention services to patients across the Central East LHIN. On June 11 at the Pickering Soccer Centre, the recently established program site, Pick- ering-Scarborough East MPP Tracy Mac- Charles also announced the establishment of new sites in Cobourg, Peterborough and Campbellford. “Today’s announcement is a true testa- ment to the importance of collaboration and partnerships in health care,” said Ms. Mac- Charles. “Working with the City of Pickering and the Pickering Soccer Club, Rouge Val- ley Health System has established a pro- gram that will provide appropriate space and a comfortable setting year round for those patients within the Central East LHIN who are working to prevent a secondary vascular event.” Ms. MacCharles also confirmed the expan- sion of services already in place in Scarbor- ough, Ajax, Whitby, Port Perry, Oshawa and Lindsay, providing improved access to these services. Cardiovascular rehabilitation and second- ary prevention is an evidence-based strat- egy. The regional approach to comprehen- sive care is provided via a centralized, inte- grated referral process and standardized six- month service. The service includes educa- tion, self-management training and exercise for patients with vascular disease including those with heart attack, angina, congestive heart failure, stroke, peripheral vascular dis- ease, diabetes and chronic renal disease. “Investing in a regional system of cardio- vascular rehabilitation and secondary pre- vention services will improve access to an essential service here in Durham Region and across the LHIN,” said Dr. Joe Ricci, vascu- lar health physician lead at the Central East LHIN and director of cardiac care at Rouge Valley. “This service will improve the health of high-risk patients and significantly reduce the risk of death or hospitalization for resi- dents of the Central East LHIN.” Pan Am volunteers have fun AJAX -- Linda Godley tried to blow a bubble through the hoola-hoop, at an event for the Pan Am volunteers at the McLean Community Centre June 11.

There’s a lot in a name to the residents on a specific stretch of Brock Road that will most likely lose its name. A new bypass, essentially the realign- ment of Brock Road adjacent to the ham- let of Brougham, is being built in order to accommodate the traffic flow expected with the extension of Hwy. 407 into the hamlet. The current stretch of Brock Road from Whitevale Road to the southern limit of Hwy. 407 will become a remnant road, stopping short of Hwy. 407, and the name will be changed to Elsa Storry Avenue. The portion of the road from Hwy. 407 to the northern limit of the new Brock Road will also become a remnant road and will be named Mowbray Street. The new bypass, which will skirt around the current Brock Road to the east, will take on the name of Brock Road. The Region of Durham’s economic development committee has approved the name change, and it will be up for final approval at the next council meeting on June 24. At the committee meeting, resident Joani Fletcher spoke about her concerns with the change. She runs an interior deco- rating business from her home, but she’s mostly concerned about the change in relation to her husband’s business, a law firm called J. Paul Fletcher LLB, which also runs out of their home. Their house sits on the east side of the current Brock Road, south of Hwy. 407. Once the name of the road is changed, their house -- and the two businesses -- will be located on the new Elsa Storry Avenue. “The cost we will incur is going to be considerable,” said Ms. Fletcher, in refer- ence to the address change that would be needed on the website and on company cheques, for example. She said the business already has around 1,000 cheques with the current address on it. “You could put a sticker on it, but it doesn’t look professional,” she said. The most disappointing part of the change: her son, who is on the autism spectrum, has finally been able to say his address after a lifetime of struggling to talk. “It has not been a small feat to get him to talk,” she said. “It’s been 22 very long years.” If the name of the road must change, Ms. Fletcher would like a road sign to indicate her house number to motorists, as her home will be the only one on Elsa Storry Avenue. Staff says renaming the current Brock Road to Elsa Storry Avenue and Mowbray Street will eliminate confusion with the new bypass. Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O’Connor agreed that it’s vital that road names be clear so they won’t confuse emergency responders. “I can tell you from my experience that when there’s names or numbers that con- flict there can be a time lapse that isn’t really wanted or needed,” she said. Whitby Mayor Don Mitchell asked if the Region provides any compensation for residents affected by road name chang- es, which he said Whitby has done, but he learned that isn’t the case at the Region. In the report the committee was consid- ering, staff recommended waiting until Sept. 1 to change the name. Pickering Ward 3 City Councillor Rick Johnson asked at the meeting if the chang- ing of the road name could be delayed until development takes place on the bypass, which shouldn’t be for another five or 10 years. However, the committee didn’t bite. Instead, Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson suggested holding off on changing the name until December. “A little more time for the residents would be my suggestion,” he said. The committee eventually voted to push the date of the name change to December. The bypass itself is scheduled to open by the end of June, in time for the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games. Coun. Johnson is also concerned about the history on that stretch of road being diminished. “Brock Road has been there forever,” he said. “It’s a heritage street. Our city hall was on that road and now it’s being taken away from us.” Coun. Johnson noted in an interview that the bypass is weighing heavily on local business owners, including himself -- he runs his hot tub business out of an old hardware store located at Brock Road and Hwy. 7. “We’ve already lost one business in the last two weeks in Brougham over the bypass going through,” he said. He said business owners are concerned that the road skirting around the hamlet rather than going through it will kill busi- ness in the area. “People drive by, they look in,” he said. He also said it came more quickly than he expected. “You knew the day was going to come, but you didn’t know when it was going to be. Everything we heard was the end of the year, this year. Now they’re talking three weeks,” he said. The City of Pickering recommended the two names. Elsa Storry was a secretary to the Town of Pickering clerk for 16 years, during which time she wrote a column in several community newspapers called “Storry Stories” while also reporting on council meetings. She served as a senior assistant librarian at the Brougham Library and was a secretary of the Pickering Town- ship Historical Society, the Joy Rebekah Lodge, and the Pickering Township Muse- um Board. Ralph R. Mowbray sat on Pickering council for 25 years, and was a farmer in Pickering for more than 56 years. HOW THIS IMPACTS YOU • New bypass expected to open by end of June. • A portion of Brock Road is going to be realigned around the hamlet of Brougham. • Business owners in Brougham fear business will plummet because of the new bypass.

Your Life summer camping tips Video series on durhamregion.com DURHAM -- What better way to com- mune with nature than by going camp- ing? In this video series we are at Darling- ton Provincial Park with staff member Logan Seymour. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, or new to the whole camping experience, stay tuned as this Your Life video series is key to a success- ful trip. Series breakdown: - Packing and equipment It’s important to pack light and accord- ing to the weather. Remember the main pieces of camping equipment: cooler, stove, tent and mattress. - Planning meals Take enough food. Create a meal plan with a mix of hot and cold food. Ms. Logan will show you how to properly pack a cooler. - Parking permit Stop at the park gate to get your per- mit. Here you will also receive a map. Once you arrive, get to know your area and locate amenities. - Survey your site What is the same among all sites? What is different? Notice the unique things about your site which can help you determine and plan where you want to set up your tent and other gear. - Set up Make sure to set up during daylight hours. Look for flat level ground for your tent; ensure you don’t set up in a low- lying area that could have water or mud buildup. Locate where you want your door to face and where your kitchen will be. These things will create a safe and happy camping environment. - Tips from the park warden Park warden Stefan Petit talks about common questions and concerns from campers, including stories of four- legged roamers in the night. - Park dangers and hazards Keep an eye out for poison ivy, stinging nettle, bugs and heat exposure. Know the park animals and remove things that attract them to your site.

Durham College students get hands-on experience preparing for Parapan Am Games DURHAM -- Durham Col- lege students are putting their skills to use getting the Abilities Centre ready for the 2015 Parapan Am Games. About a dozen third-year students in the comput- er systems technology pro- gram recently assisted with upgrading and stabilizing the facility’s wireless network. Students will also help maintain the system throughout the event. “This is a great hands-on experience for our students so they can not only see, but also have a hand in support- ing, a real production envi- ronment network before they graduate,” said Laura Franks, co-ordinator of the computer systems technol- ogy program. Durham College students will also volunteer alongside Cisco Systems Inc. employ- ees during the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games as tech- nical volunteers. They will assist spectators, competi- tors and media with any issues using the networks at venues including the Oshawa Sports Centre, Pres- ident’s Choice Ajax Pan Am Ballpark and the Abilities Centre. Fifteen students from other Durham College programs will also be involved in the Pan Am Games, includ- ing three students from the School of Media, Art and Design who will assist the CBC with broadcasting the events and 12 students from the School of Skilled Trades, Apprenticeship and Renew- able Technology who will help build and maintain resi- dences for the athletes.

Durham police have investigated two transactions. In April 2015 a Clarington couple booked a $3,500 trip through Algonquin Travel on King Street East. When they returned home, they found they’d been billed an additional $4,500 for individual components of the trip, such as flight and cruise costs, police said. The original $3,500 charge wasn’t applied to the trip, police said. And in May 2015, a 70-year- old Oshawa woman paid the agent cash for a return flight to Saskatchewan. When the visu- ally-impaired senior didn’t receive her ticket, a friend investigated and learned the flight had never been booked, police said. John Mills, 49, of Gibbons Street in Oshawa, is charged with three counts each of fraud under $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime. 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 n e 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 18 AP 1020 Brock Road South, Pickering L1W 3H2 416-282-0258 • www.solidwood.ca MoRe tHan juSt tHe fineSt ManufactuReR of uPScaLe SoLid Wood fuRnituRe in ontaRio!!

SHOP THEBAY.COM Catholic school board briefs Balanced budget for school board DURHAM -- The Durham Catholic District School Board has passed a balanced 2015/2016 budget. Trustees approved the budget June 15, at the last board meeting of the school year. Superintendent Ryan Putnam says the budget doesn’t rely on reserve funds and manages to pro- vide some enhanced programs and services. Highlights include expanded elementary instrumental music pro- grams, expanded French programs, opening of two new Catholic elemen- tary schools, the board’s first Grade 7 to 12 school in Oshawa and transpor- tation for high school students taking part in after-school programs. The board struggled with a $2.5-million shortfall this year, and cut 15 corporate and administrative posi- tions to help balance its books. Getting kids ready for school The DCDSB is offering two types of school readiness programs this sum- mer. The School’s Cool program helps children ages three to five make the transition to kindergarten. The pro- gram helps children develop early math and reading skills as well as social skills, language, self help and reasoning. It will be offered Monday to Thursday mornings for eight weeks starting July 6 at four DCDSB schools -- Brother Andre CS in Ajax, Msgr. Philip Coffey CS in Oshawa, Father Fenelon CS in Pickering and St. John the Evangelist CS in Whitby. Families can also check out the Stay and Play program, which runs one to two mornings a week in July and August. Children up to age six and their caregivers can take part in co-operative games, crafts and out- door activities. Healthy snacks are provided daily. Several DCDSB schools will be offering the program and no pre-reg- istration is required. Visit www.ochc. ca for more information. To register for School’s Cool call 905-686-6466 or e-mail fcap@ymac- gta.org. DCDSB recognized for threat assessment efforts Staff from the DCDSB was recently recognized with an outstanding leader- ship award from the Canadian Centre for Threat Assessment and Trauma Response. In 2013, the board’s student services staff launched a Community Threat Assessment and Intervention Protocol for responding to and assessing potential violence in schools. The protocol is based on the work of Dr. Kevin Cameron, a certified traumatic stress expert. It involves 21 community partners including health-care providers and emergency response services. Training has taken place for the board’s administrators and clinical staff as well as police liaison officers and community partners. The next step is to train school staff and establish teams that can respond when faced with a violent threat in schools. 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 n e 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 20 AP Martin Reader Beach Volleyball Olympian Alexandra Orlando Rhythmic Gymnastics Olympian and Pan Am medallist Greivis Vasquez Basketball TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games ambassador SHOP.TORONTO2O15.org Visit the TORONTO 2O15 official store at Toronto Eaton Centre �� 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 n e 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 21 P 1735 Pickering Pkwy brock road and 401 Pickering SAVE ON MANY MORE IN STORE SALE ITEMS now oPen Saturdays 8am to 9pm 905-686-2308 Mon-Sat 8aM-9pM • Sun 9-6 boSch drill Bosch 18V 1⁄2˝ Lith-Ion Compact Drill/Driver.With two 1.5Ah batteries, charger and case. 54-2817-8.

(NC) Dental hygienists see first-hand the impact of injuries to the teeth, gums, and jaws as a result of participation in sports. Mouthguards are essential, they say. Proven to reduce the risk of such orofacial injuries the dental hygienist can custom-fit a sports mouthguard for you during a regular dental visit. If you play hockey, soccer, football, rugby, martial arts, lacrosse, boxing, basketball, baseball, or if you enjoy BMX, skateboarding, skiing, and snowboarding, find out if your sports organization requires mandatory mouthguard protection. If it doesn’t, ask why? The average cost of a custom- fitted sports mouthguard can be as low as $50, while the estimated cost to treat a lost front tooth over a lifetime can range from $5,000 to $10,000. Clearly mouthguards are a cost-effective investment in protection. At www.cdha.ca/mouthguards, read the FAQs, tips, and other important information – and most importantly, always protect your mouth at games and practices.

The Welsh guitarist is marking 50 years since he formed venerable UK blues outfit Savoy Brown, headlining the Whitby Blues Festival on June 27. One would think the veteran musician, 67, has seen it all and that getting up on stage is a walk in the park. Think again. Every time he straps on his axe, Simmonds says “it’s a complete mystery” what’s going to hap- pen and he questions his playing more than anybody else. “The reason I go out there (and play live) is, I think, you know, it’s a question of find- ing out who you are,” he says. “Am I a good guitar player? It’s a constant question. I’m not the kind of person to say, ‘I’m a damn good guitar player’. “One of the reasons you go out there is to keep proving to yourself that you’ve got something to say and still have something to say. Sometimes you fail ... and other times you reach these heights where you say, ‘wow, I’m not a bad player’.” His older brother developed a love of the blues in the early ‘60s and before long Sim- monds was listening to his records. He was hooked immediately. “It was that honesty; there’s no bullshit attached to it,” Simmonds says. “I think that the best of rock ‘n’ roll and the blues, where rock ‘n’ roll comes from, is very honest, guys not putting any pretense on.” It‘s something that’s been lost a bit along the way, he says, describing the “modern problem” in music: “too much fluff and fluff taken way too seriously.” He formed Savoy Brown in 1965 as a teen- ager. Five years later, after several lineup changes, three members, including vocalist and second guitarist Dave Peverett, left the band to form Foghat as they “wanted to rock out more.” It was happening all over the UK as bands that had discovered American blues morphed into rock bands. Simmonds didn’t want to veer too far from the source. “I was always a purist when I started,” he says. “Of course I haven’t stayed a purist. I’ve rocked out ... but I don’t want to pull that trigger fully.” Savoy Brown plays around 60 live shows a year and has released six albums in the 21st century. Ever faithful to the music he’s loved for more than half a centu- ry, Simmonds says he doesn’t want the blues to become “a pastiche,” as he says Dixieland jazz has become. Not that he doesn’t like the genre, but today’s practi- tioners always seem to be looking to the past, even making a caricature of the form. “You don’t want the blues to become like that, almost like a party piece,” Simmonds says. “There’s always a danger of it becom- ing that. But I feel there’s enough young people coming through who can really play and are not doing that.” “I would like to see one of these young guys break through on a commercial level, like Stevie Ray Vaughn did.” While he has a lot of songs to choose from for his Whitby appearance, Simmonds says he’s not going to follow the pattern of many musicians who have been around for a long time and deliver only what people expect to hear. Simmonds says it doesn’t interest him or an audience. “The most important thing to me is not to succumb to that temptation, to just give people what you think they want,” he says. “I think one has to take chances.” Make no mistake, Simmonds recogniz- es that he’s an entertainer. While he has a new record coming out in the fall, and plans on playing tracks from it and the previous release, expect several classic Savoy Brown tunes. In addition to Savoy Brown, Gone Fis- sion, Joel Johnson, local band Trac4 and one other local group are performing. And there’s still more: a craft beer festival, a downtown sidewalk sale, food trucks and local vendors and crafts. The schedule was still being hammered out at press time, but as it stands: 11 a.m. -- Trac4 1 p.m. -- Gone Fission 3 p.m. -- Joel Johnson 5 p.m. -- Savoy Brown WHITBY -- Blues guitarist Kim Simmonds, who founded Savoy Brown when he was a teenager, brings one of the most durable blues bands in the world to Whitby on June 27 to headline the Whitby Blues Festival. See www.communityfestivals.ca. www.savoybrown.com; with permission ‘I was always a purist when I started. Of course I haven’t stayed a purist. I’ve rocked out... but I don’t want to pull that trigger fully.’ Kim Simmonds Gardens, art and music to benefit Hearth Place DURHAM -- If good things come in threes, a local event is the perfect tonic. Artists in the Garden is back for a 16th year, benefitting Hearth Place Cancer Sup- port Centre in Oshawa. “We have gardens in Oshawa and Whitby, so homeowners open up their gardens to the public,” explains Amanda Roffey, an event volunteer for 10 years. “Once you get to a garden you generally hear a local musician.” And artists are set up in the gardens as well, showing and selling their work. Visitors can ask the homeowners about their gardens and speak to the artists about their works before moving on to another stop on the self-guided tour. You find out where the gardens are when you buy a ticket and just before the event a few of the locations are posted on the website. Artists taking part this year include Mar- garet Brackley (jewelry, watercolour), Linda Cresswell (photography) and Mike and Betty McGowan (mixed media, acryl- ic). Musicians such as Andrea Shore, Cord on Blue and Brass Monkeys are entertaining. Up until a few days before the event, you can get tickets at Dyne’s Gift House and Andrew’s Shoes in Whitby, Hearth Place Cancer Support Centre and Lasting Expressions Floral Designs with Flair in Oshawa and at Romancing the Home in Bowmanville, Cobourg and Port Perry. On the day of the event, tickets are avail- able at the gates of the gardens on the tour. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 on tour day.

Top 10 Father’s Day Songs from Andy Merey As it is with songs about mothers, most of the time, the best of father’s day songs are covered from only the last couple of decades or so. Predictably, near complete disregard for the golden decades of the ‘50s and ‘60s exists. Here are my Top Ten Father’s Day songs: • My Dad -– Paul Peterson (1963). The ultimate dad song, extremely senti- mental, but bound to bring a tear to your eye. Originally performed on The Donna Reed Show (1958-1966) and issued as a sin- gle in 1962, Dad became a Top Ten hit. • Oh! My Papa -– Eddie Fisher (1954). It might sound a little bit too schmaltzy today, but back in 1954 this song drew the attention of many music fans, turning it into a good money making vehicle for all con- cerned. Originally a German tune created in 1939 by Swiss composer Paul Burkhard. • Song For My Father -– Horace Silver Quin- tet (1965). A major mainstream jazz success on Blue Note, composed by Horace Silver in hom- age to his own father, while he was visiting Brazil. • Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag, Part 1 and 2 -– James Brown (1965). Famous rhythm and blues artist, also known as ‘The Godfather Of Soul’, wrote and recorded this potent rhythm and blues precursor of funk music. It turned out to be Brown’s first entry into Billboard maga- zine’s Hot 100 Top Ten. • Papa Loves Mambo -– Perry Como (1954). A lively, sophisticated musical sound delivered by Perry (‘Mr. C’) Como and band leader Mitchell Ayres in seamless collabo- ration. Surprisingly, Papa Loves Mambo has been used as background music in films many times over the years, as recent- ly as the 2013 picture, Red 2, starring Bruce Willis. • Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter From Camp) -– Allan Sherman (1963). This novelty tune still garners some chuckles today. The narrative is about an unhappy lad wishing he could go back home from camp but changes his mind when the sun comes out, resulting in all kinds of fun activities. Still, he sends the let- ter anyway, asking his parents to, “muddah, fadduh kindly disregard this letter.” • My Old Man’s A Dustman -– Lonnie Donegan (1960). Another creative Father’s Day novel- ty tune, this time from the U.K. Known as ‘The King Of Skiffle’, a genre of music with jazz, folk and blues components, Lonnie Donegan was the most successful music artist in the U.K. before The Beatles came along. • Rock and Roll Waltz -– Kay Starr (1956). Produced by Joe Carlton, later of Carlton Records, Rock and Roll Waltz has clever lyr- ics such as this excerpt demonstrates: “... mom was dancing with dad to my record machine, and while they danced, only one thing was wrong, they were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song!” • Padre -– Toni Arden (1958). A blissful love gone wrong, she seeks sol- ace and answers to her sorrowful plight in the wisdom and guidance of her priest (padre). They sure don’t make them like this anymore. • A Boy Named Sue – Johnny Cash (1969). Written by Shel Silverstein, this record is about a man saddled with the feminine name Sue, which his father gave him before leaving. He figured with that name people would in turn make fun of his son wherev- er he went, but it would toughen him up in dealing with an adversarial world.

That’s how she is viewing her recent retire- ment from the Canadian national women’s soccer team, made official this month just prior to the start of the Women’s World Cup. “When I’ve talked to other retired athletes, and not just from soccer but other sports, it’s congratulations. It’s about a celebra- tion of what you’ve accomplished,” says the Ajax resident of how she would like to be acknowledged when approached by fans and well-wishers. The Ajax resident has been a fixture on the Canadian team since the age of 18, when she made her debut, and went out on a high, her final game coming at the London Olym- pics in 2012, winning a bronze medal after a thrilling victory over France. A calf injury in the first game at the Olympics sidelined Chapman for the remainder of the Olympics, only able to join her teammates on the pitch late in the game against France. Injuries, ultimately, forced Chapman out of the game. A torn ACL early in her career needed more surgery after the Olympics concluded. While the calf injury sustained in the Olympics eventually healed, the surgery on her knee kept her away from training, off the pitch, and guided her in another direc- tion. “There’s been a history of injuries and try- ing to get back to the shape I know I needed to be in, I started coaching and stopped play- ing. It’s been a gradual buildup,” said the 32 year old. “I’m lucky to have done what I did on the field for so long. After the Olympics I had sur- gery and just didn’t get back on the field.” Over the course of her career, Chapman appeared in 114 games for Canada, scoring six times. It was quite a journey after joining the Ajax United program at the age of seven. There was a scholarship to Notre Dame, a silver medal with Canada at the FIFA U20 Women World Cup in 2002, there was bronze (2007) and gold (2011) at the Pan Am Games, a couple of World Cup appearances with the senior team, and a pair of Olympics as well, Beijing (2008) and London (2012). Her durability is evidenced by the 23 consecutive matches with Canada from 2007-2008. In 2012 she was honoured as a member of the all-time Canadian women’s team. The impact of that bronze medal win in London still resonates in the country, chang- ing the complexion of women’s soccer, and creating a new set of heroes for young female players to look up to. Evidence of the popu- larity of the members of that 2012 team still exists. “Of course we look back to see where we were to where we are now,” said Chapman. “I look back and think of the amazing play- ers that I’ve had a chance to play with. I look back and it’s been an emotional journey. “It’s great going into clubs. They’re actual- ly naming some female players on the team, so I think that’s the most important part. The recognition of soccer in Canada and girls naming other girls as their heroes.” Canadian head coach John Herdman had nothing but glowing respect for Chapman and her contribution to the national program over the years, especially her coming back to join her teammates on the field during the bronze medal-winning performance in 2012. “Throughout that whole Olympic cam- paign, she was an absolute key player right up until her injury at the Olympics, which was one of the saddest things at that time,” he said in a press release. “For her to come back in the France game and come on the pitch and see the game out for our girls and add what she added to pick up the bronze medal, it was almost the story being concluded at that point. It was just a great journey.” Herdman also praised Chapman’s charac- ter. “She has a really pure heart and a great character. Off the pitch, she was quiet, unas- suming, but had this presence about her that when she came on to the pitch, she completely changed. She became this real- ly strong, physical centre back that could actually play. She had the ability to make the passes that midfield players do.” Still involved in the game, Chapman is coaching full-time at the club level near her home in Virginia, as well as with the U14-17 national programs in Canada. The transition from player to coach has been made with ease. “It’s been pretty smooth,” says Chapman. “It’s more emotional from player to coach. More emotional for me not playing anymore. The coaching is a really great stepping stone. It’s just more emotional not being around the team in that capacity and not playing at that competitive level any more. “When you’re coaching, even though it’s youth, it’s still a competitive level, and it brings something out of you. I think I’m the same when I stop on the field. I don’t think it’s different for me from a player to a coach when I get on the field.” During the World Cup, she was in Edmon- ton when Canada opened with its first game, then headed to Moncton, New Brunswick to attend games featuring other countries. While still involved in the game, it’s the camaraderie with teammates that she will miss the most. “Just being around the team. I’ve been around most of the players since our U19 days. We’ve become a family,” she said. “It’s been over 12 years that I’ve been with them. That’s the emotional part.” AJAX -- Candace Chapman of Ajax has decided to retire from the women’s nation- al soccer program. She competed in two Olympics, including Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012, where she won a bronze medal. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland PHILADELPHIA, PA — No stranger to ath- letic and academic awards alike, Chestnut Hill College women’s tennis junior captain Iman Williams-Mulesa of Pickering recently garnered her first appearance on the Phila- delphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Women’s Tennis Team. A two-time All-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference performer and a recipient of mul- tiple elections to the Chestnut Hill College Athletic Academic Honor Roll, the CACC Fall All-Academic Team, and as an Intercollegiate Tennis Association Scholar-Athlete, Williams- Mulesa has accumulated a 3.9 grade point average as a business administration major. In her second season as a co-captain, Williams-Mulesa was recognized on the CACC Women’s Tennis Weekly Honor Roll once (October 13, 2014) after her impressive role in wins over Philadelphia University (6-3 on October 7) and West Chester University (8-1 on October 10). Thanks to her consistent quality play, Williams-Mulesa produced a 16-7 singles record split between the second (7-3) and fourth (9-4) flights and a 15-10 doubles record between the No. 1 (4-1 w/ Dawson) and No. 2 (5-8 w/ Owens and 6-1 w/Scholtze) team flights. She was honoured in the fall with an All-CACC Second Team selection and at the annual Athletic Awards Reception with the Chestnut Hill College women’s tennis Coach’s Award.

FashionGem of ajax theFashionGem Bulldogs win third title DURHAM -- The Durham City Bullldogs major atom Central basketball team cap- tured its third provincial title. Winning the U12 Ontario championship capped off the perfect season for the Bull- dogs. The team is now an outstanding 97-0 over a three-year period. The Bulldogs came into the champion- ships focused and rolled through the best in the Province, ending with an exciting 65-63 victory over the Scarborough Blues. The Bulldogs were facing adversity being down by one with 37 seconds to go. Playing tough defence the Bulldogs were able to get a steal and Isaiah Adams hit the go-ahead shot with 19 seconds remaining. The Bulldogs were able to stop Scarborough from scor- ing on the next possession and secured the championship. It capped off an outstanding undefeated season, which included winning champi- onships at the IEM, DCBA, and MUMBA. The team also had a rematch of the provin- cial championship at the Amateur Basket- ball Syndicate league finals. This time the Bulldogs left no doubt about who the No. 1 team was by beating Scarborough Blues 68-48. “In all my years of coaching I have never seen such a group of determined boys. It has been an absolute pleasure coaching these young men,” said head coach Ervin Clayton. “As coaches we have been very demanding of them, and to see them over- come adversity and win for a third straight year was amazing.” Assistant coach and club president Nkosi Adams stated that the team is special and the club has never had a team enjoy so much success over a three-year period. Players include Isaiah Adams, Kaleb Birch, Jaden Clayton, Myles Graham, Nicho- las Kaptein, Marcus Murrell, David Ononi- wu, Mekhi Perry, Pierce Santos, Kole Scott, Noah Seetram and Nathaniel Simms. The team is coached by Ervin Clayton, Nkosi Adams, James Seetram and managed by Simone Seetram. 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 n e 1 8 , 2 0 1 5 31 AP AJAX -C4 CHURCH •JULY 20-JULY 24 ALL THE FUN OF MUSKOKA WOODS IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBOURHOOD.
