OSHAWA - An additional criminal
charge has been filed against an Osha-
wa man accused of murdering an eight-
month-old infant.
A charge of failing to provide the ne-
c essities of life has been added to the list
of offences faced by 25-year-old Denim
Henderson, who is also accused of sec-
ond-degree murder in the 2016 death of
K aleb McKay. Henderson is also
charged with aggravated assault and as-
sault causing bodily harm relating to
the child.
Kaleb's mother, Jordan Brownell, is
charged with manslaughter and failing
to provide the necessities of life. She
and Henderson were both charged in
early July after what Durham police de-
scribed as an extensive investigation in-
to Kaleb's death.
B rownell was released on bail follow-
ing a hearing in Oshawa July 12. Law-
yers for Henderson are preparing for a
bail hearing, court heard during his
brief appearance by video Tuesday, July
17. Henderson is due to appear by video
again Friday, when a date for a bail
hearing may be proposed.
Police officers responding Dec. 29,
2016 to a report of unknown trouble at
an apartment on Robson Street in Osha-
wa found Kaleb, who wasn't breathing.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate the
child, but he was declared dead.
An autopsy revealed evidence of mul-
t iple injuries to the child, police said.

This article could fill a
book, and maybe some day
will. Meanwhile, here's the
350-word Part 1, which, sev-
eral parts hence, will re-
veal the whole story, which
I promise will be juicy.
My first moment at Dur-
ham College occurred
Sept. 23, 1988, an Olympian
night from multiple per-
spectives, as Ben Johnson
won his famous race,
which I de-
clared an
omen (re-
scinded the
next day).
Durham was
my fourth
college, my
second as
president. In
short, I love
colleges -
keen stu-
dents, pro-
fessional
faculty, mar-
ket-driven
programs
leading to
good jobs,
beautiful
campus. So
good.
Thus, the last thing on
my mind upon arriving
here was to create a univer-
sity. After about a year, I
was surprised by a faculty
member dropping into my
office, plopping into a chair
and bursting into tears. As
I learned, he and his wife,
both good people and hard
workers, had had to tell
their youngest child, a
daughter, the night before,
that they couldn't help
send her to university.
They already had three
kids there, the cupboard
was bare, and as middle-
class members, weren't eli-
gible for any
grants. So,
their daugh-
ter was left
out.
I thought
to myself,
that would
never hap-
pen in West-
ern Canada
(from
whence I
came), as
their post-
secondary
systems are
built to ac-
commodate
sparse pop-
ulations
across vast
distances.
Thus, the germ of a uni-
versity was sown. And the
more I learned of Durham
Region, the stronger it got.
Why no research capacity
for GM or OPG? Why no
concert hall? Why could
Winnipeg, with the same
population as Durham,
have THREE universities,
while we had none? Why
could Brandon, Man., with
half the people as Claring-
ton, have one and we did
not? Etc.
So, I visited the deputy
minister, who was clearly
displeased to discuss a uni-
versity in Durham be-
cause, after all, that's the
LAST idea the existing uni-
versity presidents, or col-
lege presidents, or mayors
or MPPs outside of Dur-
ham/Northumberland
wanted to hear. So, he
mumbled something inco-
herent which I took as an
in-genuine admonition to
start with a demonstration
of community support.
So I did, starting by
forming about a 40-person
group from across Dur-
ham-Northumberland
called EDUC'N, which
eventually stood for Estab-
lish Durham University
Campus Now. It was com-
prised of the regional chair,
mayors, school board di-
rectors, labour, small and
large businesses, clergy ...
EVERYONE!
To learn what we did
and more, tune in to Part 2.

DurhamDURHAM - Durham
College has signed on for
its third major collabora-
tion with a cannabis indus-
try partner.
The college recently an-
nounced that it has signed
a memorandum of under-
standing with Molecular
Science Corp. (MSC),
which provides cannabis
testing services.
"With a particular focus
on the identification and
measurement of natural
health products in canna-
bis, statistical data inter-
pretation and analytical re-
search and development in
pursuit of quality assur-
ance, the experience and
expertise that the MSC
team will bring to the col-
lege's ongoing develop-
ment of leading cannabis-
focused education will be
invaluable," says Durham
College president Don Lo-
visa.
Durham College stu-
dents will have the oppor-
tunity to do internships
with MSC, and the compa-
ny will advise Durham Col-
lege on equipment acquisi-
tion and provide guest
speakers.
A senior representative
from MSC will also join the
college's cannabis industry
program advisory commit-
tee. Durham College cur-
rently offers a cannabis in-
dustry specialization cer-
tificate program and a two-
day Medical Cannabis Fun-
damentals for Business
Professionals course.

The Durham College
board of governors has an-
nounced Northumberland
resident Paul Macklin will
be their chair at the start of
July.
An experienced lawyer,
businessperson and active
volunteer, Macklin has
served as parliamentary
secretary to two ministers
of justice and is a member
of the Queen's Privy Coun-
cil of Canada.
He has been a Rotarian
since 1975 and was involved
with the Northumberland
County United Way for six
years, including as treasur-
er and co-chair of the 2015-
2016 campaign.
The board also an-
nounced that Ivan DeJong
will be their new vice-
chair, also effective July 1.
The appointments are
for a one-year term.
DeJong is co-owner of
Youngfield Farms in Nes-
tleton, which was started
by his family in 1953, and he
has been involved in local
organizations including
the Durham agricultural
advisory committee, the
Durham College Commu-
nity Choir and the Canadi-
an Food Grains Bank.
In 2013, he received the
Diamond Jubilee Medal for
community service.
The board is responsi-
ble for the governance of
Durham College and, as
such, is accountable to the
students, employees and
communities the college
serves for ensuring that it
is effectively and appropri-
ately managed to achieve
its established mandate
and to provide needed ser-
vices.
As chair, Macklin will
be responsible for ensuring
the board meets its respon-
sibilities and established
mandate through leader-
ship, openness and trans-
parency.

WHO WE ARE
OPINION
• EDITORIAL •
•LETTERS & COMMENTARY •
Even though the bad sometimes seems to overshadow
the multitude of good in Durham Region, we must remind
ourselves there are plenty of instances were Durham
citizens make a positive difference.
That was brought home this week on our durham-
region.com Facebook page by an outpouring of support
and offers of financial help for a youngster in Clarington
who set up a lemonade stand to raise money to buy her
paralyzed puppy Copper a wheelchair. Custom dog wheel-
chairs can cost thousands of dollars, but a ready-made dog
wheelchair ordered online can cost from $300 to $600.
It's just a feel-good, heartwarming story, which says a
lot about the big hearts of the people in Durham and their
willingness to lend a hand.
Despite performing a sometimes difficult, dangerous
and thankless job, the men and women working within
the Durham Regional Police Service more often than not
encapsulate the very best in humanity. That point has
been brought home by good-news stories of top police on
our website of late.
Durham police officers employed quick police work to
apprehend a suspect and to see that a 71-year-old robbery
victim had her $3,000 returned after a recent incident in
Bowmanville.
Judy McGibbon was robbed of her money after being
rammed by a bicycle and knocked to the ground. She went
back inside the bank where she received comfort and
bank staff called Durham police.
Police Const. Brett Barriage arrived at the bank soon
after to investigate. While interviewing witnesses, he
noticed a second person of interest grab the thief's bicycle
and ride away. In the police cruiser, Const. Barriage
chased the man and eventually caught him.
A suspect was later arrested and all the money was
recovered and returned to McGibbon, who was thankful
for the diligent police work and thanked the officers in-
volved.
In another good-news story, Linda Wannamaker of
Oshawa relayed an incident while having a coffee with her
daughter at a Tim Hortons in the city. She witnessed a
Durham police officer approaching a man holding a sign
on the street. Instead of an impending arrest, the police
officer instead helped the man walking with aid of a stick
into the restaurant, put a cup of coffee in front of him and
directed staff that he'd pay for whatever the man wished to
eat.
Although the officer didn't wish to be identified, Dur-
ham Const. George Tudos says it's something officers do
routinely.
It's stories like these that reaffirm or perhaps restore
our faith in those living and working within our commu-
nities in Durham.

Canada has its own
challenges, just like
America
To the editor:
Re: A nation is far more
than a flag says reader, let-
ter, July 10
It isn't difficult, when
reading Cavan Gostlin's
letter, to see his comments
about the U.S. and Ameri-
cans are typical of Canadi-
ans who are smug anti-
Americans.
I don't know too many
countries that are not, to
use Gostlin's words .."rav-
aged by racism, wide-
spread poverty, political
corruption and social in-
justice ..." to some degree
or another, including Can-
ada. Perhaps Gostlin
would like Canadians to
simply forget the Truth &
Reconciliation Commis-
sion, how many visible mi-
norities have been shot by
Canadian police or the an-
ti-Semitism which still in-
fects many levels of Cana-
dian society. Yes, the U.S.
has its problems just as
Canada does and as free
and democratic societies
we have taken steps to ad-
dress these issues.
Yes, America has ene-
mies which, as the only
world superpower and
leader of the free world one
would expect. If your ene-
mies are facing commu-
nism and ISIS, then I'm
more than pleased to stand
with Americans. Canada
has few enemies because
we have been living under
the protection of the Amer-
icans since the end of Sec-
ond World War. Canada has
few enemies because we
are minor and somewhat
unimportant players on
the world stage. Whatever
a "powerfully diverse na-
ture" means in describing
Canadian society, it does
not mean that we don't
have our own challenges
and that we don't celebrate,
to one degree or another,
much the same fantasy as
the Americans.

Electoral reform idea
not practical says
reader
To the editor:
Re: Reader would like to
see electoral reform in Onta-
rio, letters, July 11
How on earth would
finding "a way to vote for
someone you like who is
running but not necessari-
ly that party" work in prac-
tice? You could get the per-
son you like as premier, but
with some other party hav-
ing a majority in the legis-
lature. Cabinet ministers
appointed by the premier
would be constantly under-
mined and overruled by
the majority of MPPs.
The only plus to that
would be that the politi-
cians and premier would
be so busy fighting each
other, they wouldn't have
time to be able to actually
do anything to us! In my
opinion, the closest we
could hope to get to a rea-
sonable system would be
one using proportional re-
presentation. As all three
of our established parties
are in lockstep regarding
"multiculturalism", "diver-
sity" and "inclusiveness,"
that would provide an op-
portunity for us dissenters
to gain a voice in provincial
affairs, at least.

Suddenly, babies are
everywhere! I saw barn
swallows with short
wings and hardly any tail
soaring over a pasture
with their much more
streamlined parents,
learning to catch bugs.
Two tiny toads no bigger
than my thumbnail hop-
ping across a muddy
path. And a half-grown
snowshoe hare on a for-
ested roadside, with long
ears and big feet it had yet
to grow into. The hare
was more than twice the
size of the baby cottontail
that sneaked in under the
chicken wire around our
g arden to eat off carrot
tops and our prized
sprouting zinnias. The
bunny was small but
swift, and gave us quite a
time chasing it out the
open gate from the toma-
to and bean patches it was
hiding in.
But my most dramatic
baby sighting took place
in an old hayfield my hus-
band and I were crossing
last weekend, on an annu-
al butterfly count we take
part in. We'd come up a
rise, past a small grove of
sugar maples to a big pile
of stones settlers had
gathered as they'd tried to
farm the land. Some
movement made me
glance left, and to my
amazement the jagged
horizon line of the rock
pile not three metres
away wasn't stones, but
turkeys. Two huge ones
and a whole daycare
clutch of little ones not
quite the size of ruffed
grouse, crowded together
on the rocks up out of the
wet, waist-high grass.
Drying off, maybe?
"Dennis! Turkeys!" I
hissed, and we all stood
there frozen, staring at
each other. As I took in
the scene, I began quickly
counting babies - 10? 12? -
some with just their
heads visible as they
shifted nervously down
the far side of the stones.
The two hens gave us
the 'side-eye,' checking us
out without having to
turn their scaly red peri-
scope heads to face us -
great peripheral vision! I
thought they looked rath-
er haggard, with all those
mouths to feed and little
bodies to keep track of, or
maybe they were moult-
ing.
It was breathless mo-
ments before they bent
forward, spread their
great wings and sailed off
across the hayfield, fol-
lowed by at least two doz-
en fluttering babies.

AJAX - Don't burn outside.
That's the message from the
Ajax Fire and Emergency Servic-
es as it notes the town's open air
burning bylaw prohibits open air
burning in most areas of Ajax.
The restriction includes any
outdoor wood burning appliance,
such as chimineas and outdoor
fireplaces.
Residents who violate the by-
law may be subject to the cost of
the call and possible prosecution
under the Ontario Fire Code.
"Open air burning creates a
potential fire hazard in the com-
munity. This summer has been
especially dry and even a small
fire could spread out of control
rapidly. Our department resourc-
es are also depleted by fire crews
having to respond to false alarms
and complaints created by open
air burning," Kristy Pankhurst,
fire prevention inspector for the
town, said.
She added cooking on an out-
door fireplace or chiminea does
not make it legal.
For more information, visit
ajax.ca/fire.

DURHAM - It hasn't
been built yet, but they're
already coming.
The Durham Region
Challenger Baseball
league continues to grow
as organizers dream of
building a fully accessible
baseball diamond inches
closer to reality. The group,
which was previously
known as the Whitby Chal-
lenger Baseball league, has
received funding from for-
mer Toronto Blue Jay Ro-
berto Alomar's Foundation
12 to support construction
of the diamond at Willow
Park.
Tracy Roulston, presi-
dent of media relations for
the league, said their roster
has expanded rapidly from
just a dozen members with
special needs four years
ago to currently more than
70. She and president Nor-
man Sheppard approached
the Town of Whitby last
year to discuss potential
sites for the much-needed
development.
"The town has been
wonderful ... they offered
us this parcel of land at Wil-
low Park - there's nothing
there right now where our
field is going to be," she
said.
"There's already a
splash pad, accessible
bathrooms, another base-
ball diamond, soccer fields
and we're kind of nestled in
one little area where virtu-
ally it's just grass."
Challenger Baseball al-
lows children with cogni-
tive or physical disabilities
to enjoy the benefits of par-
ticipation in baseball at a
level that is structured to
their abilities. Each player
gets an able-bodied "bud-
dy" who stays with them
for the entire game, help-
ing them make the most of
their time on the field.
They play one hour a
week on Saturday morn-
ings, usually at Peel Park
in Whitby. It's free to join
and members are typically
between the ages of five
and 20, with some excep-
tions.
"You might have a young
man who has autism and
he's 23 and he still wants to
play - of course he's wel-
come. We might have a
four-year-old who is a base-
ball fanatic, that's fine,"
said Roulston, noting that
the league's name was
changed earlier this year in
order to be more inclusive.
"Whitby was a wonder-
ful name, of course, but
we've always been open to
anyone who wanted to join,
so we thought it would help
attract kids from other ar-
eas who were maybe a little
hesitant."
Their hope for the new
diamond is that it will help
make the sport more acces-
sible for all children, re-
gardless of their mobility
challenges.
"We truly appreciate the
land that's been offered to
us over the last few years to
play, but keep in mind, if
you've got a player that's in
a wheelchair or has walker
with tiny wheels, they can
get caught up in the little
ruts in the sand and mud or
the grass," said Roulston.
She added that while the
diamond will be designed
to support their needs, they
also want to see it used by
other local sports teams.
"It is going to be exclu-
sive to us but we're going to
make it inclusive, definite-
ly. We want to see the Whit-
by Girls Softball Associa-
tion or the Whitby Boys Mi-
nor Baseball Association
using it, maybe for their lit-
tle ones with T-ball."
Overall, the project is
expected to cost about
$350,000. Foundation 12 - a
Canadian charitable orga-
nization started by Roberto
and Kim Alomar to serve
youth baseball players -
will be contributing
$100,000 to the initiative.
Another organization,
which will be announced
soon, has also committed
to topping up the funding.
Pending council's support
of the project, a target date
for opening of the diamond
is late 2019.
Roulston said she visit-
ed the park with town staff
and the donors last week
and afterwards, suddenly
found herself overcome
with emotion.
"It feels so real now that
this is actually going to
happen," she said.
"When you see moms
and dads and caregivers
taking a child out of a vehi-
cle with a wheelchair or a
walker and you see the
smiles on these kids' faces,
it's just overwhelming, and
to know that we're going to
make that experience so
much greater and easier
for them, I can't thank ev-
erybody enough for the
support that they've shown
this league."

PICKERING - In the face
of development rumours,
the City of Pickering is
changing the zoning in an
area that's sensitive to
many residents living in
the West Shore communi-
ty.
Ward 1 city Coun. Mau-
rice Brenner says this
should help ease their con-
cerns.
The Rotary French-
man's Bay West Park en-
compasses lands at the
southwestern end of
Frenchman's Bay, lands
northerly to the south side
of Sunrise Avenue, the
eastern side of West Shore
Boulevard, and the north-
ern shore of Lake Ontario.
The Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority
has long acquired lands in
the area that became avail-
able. With the exception of
three properties located on
the south side of Beach-
point Promenade, all lands
within the park have been
acquired by the authority.
A zoning bylaw from the
early 1960s zones portions
of the Frenchman's Bay
West Park land as 'G' -
Greenbelt and 'R4' - De-
tached Dwelling Fourth
Density.
Brenner said there is a
lot of uncertainty about
what is going to happen to
the environmental park
and rumours have been
swirling about developers
coming in to purchase land
in the area.
"There were a lot of ru-
mours floating around that
have no substance," he said
in a phone interview.
He felt it would be best
to show that the city is seri-
ous about maintaining the
environmental integrity of
the park by bringing for-
ward a motion to change
the designation. "It's really
about protecting it in its
natural state and its sensi-
tive state," Brenner said.
Council voted in favour
of his motion at the June 25
meeting. City staff will now
take the appropriate steps
to change the zoning of all
lands currently zoned 'R4'
and 'G' to an appropriate
zone category that recog-
nizes these lands as open
space/environmental
park.
"Now it's just really the
planning process and get-
ting it implemented,"
Coun. Brenner said.
Residents were upset in
April when a contractor re-
moved 160 trees along
Beachpoint Promenade to
make way for road widen-

We all tend to make New Year’s resolutions to exercise, lose weight and watch what we
eat. But our motivation only seems to kick in with the start of summer. There’s nothing like
warm weather to encourage us to get outdoors, even if it’s only to begin a walking program.
As with any new exercise, if you are over the age of 35, you should get a medical evaluation
before beginning.
A great way to ease into an exercise routine is to start walking. Walking not only burns fat, it
tightens muscles and lowers lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Our walking rate as we go about
out daily activities is approximately three miles per hour. The average person should walk at
a pace of about one third faster (four miles per hour) to reach a desired exercise hart rate.
We need to protect our feet, therefore a good walking shoe is very important. It should
provide the most flexibility at the middle of the sole. While walking, your feet do not require
the same impact protection as when you are running, so your soles do not have to be thick.
Before you begin walking, it is always a good idea to start with at least five minutes of
stretching exercises. After you stretch, begin walking slowly. Do so for about five minutes
to increase your heart rate. Then walk briskly for about 25-30 minutes. Your walk should
end with a five minute decrease in speed to cool down and than five minutes of stretching
to prevent stiffness and increase flexibility.
Never wear ankle weights. They will put pressure on your joints that evolution never
anticipated and are sure to cause future problems.
Safe walking is great for all ages. Here are some summer exercise tips to get you ready for
your warm weather wardrobe:
1. Dress appropriately for the temperature. Wear light coloured, loose fitting clothing.
Always wear a hat with a visor and use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15.
2. Drink a lot of water before, during and after the walk. Don’t wait until you are thirsty, by
then it’s too late and you may already be dehydrated.
3. Give yourself time to adapt to warmer weather. Exercising in the summer heat puts more
strain on the body than in cooler temperatures.
4. Walk in the morning or early evening when it’s cooler and traffic is lighter.
5. Make sure you are visible when walking at night. The greatest threat to the health of a
walker is an inattentive driver. Wear bright clothing with reflective tape on your arms,
front and back. Also carry a flashlight.
6. Avoid busy streets. Carry only enough money for a phone call or emergencies.
7. Obey the rules of the road. Walk facing traffic where there are no sidewalks.
Like any form of exercise, walking should be done in moderation, every other day. IF you
are concerned about the eather outside, you can always mall walk. Most malls are open
early in the morning, and are a perfect temperature. Just think; you won’t have to worry
about a pet owner who neglected to scoop their poop.
If you have any questions you would like answered, please send it to ASK THE PODIATRIST,
C/O The NEWS ADVERTISER.

DURHAM - Oshawa and
Durham's new music event
is a week away.
The Crossing Point Fes-
tival debuts July 27 and 28
in Brick By Brick Park, in
the southwest corner of
Oshawa's downtown and
across the street from the
Midtown Mall.
Skydiggers headlines
the festival on Saturday
and the Friday night fea-
tures guest artists backed
by Durham Region band,
the Professors of Funk.
Professors' frontman and
festival founder Derek Gi-
berson says it's something
the city hasn't seen for
some time.
"Since this is Crossing
Point's first year, it's both
exciting as well as a chal-
lenge to help people picture
what the experience is go-
ing to be like, but we'll be
bringing full-scale produc-
tion and staging into the
park along with some
groundbreaking Canadian
artists to make for a fantas-
tic concert experience
quite unlike anything that
has happened here in a
generation," he says.
"The artist roster is a re-
markable mix - you'll get to
hear Canadiana roots-
rock, folk, rock and roll,
reggae, retro-pop, blues
and more, and we're excit-
ed to announce the confir-
mation of Afrobeat and hip
hop artist Emmanuel Jal
for Friday's opening night
concert. Originally from
South Sudan, having lived
through two decades of tur-
bulent civil war, life as a
forced child soldier and ref-
ugee before relocating to
England and then Canada,
he's now an acclaimed in-
ternational peace ambas-
sador who brings his story
and message to audiences
through a powerful high-
energy performance that
blends Western and Afri-
can music styles."
Giberson notes that Jal
performed at Live 8, Nelson
Mandela's 90th Birthday
Tribute concert and the
One Concert for the Dalai
Lama.
"It's exciting to add him
to an already fantastic line-
up for the weekend," he
says.
Also added to the festi-
val are Oshawa's Ben
Reines and Hairy Holler.
The stage will be set up
in the northwest corner of
the park, facing into the
green space, and there will
be space in front of the
stage for festivalgoers who
want to get close. Giberson
says attendees are encour-
aged to bring lawn chairs
and blankets. The all-ages
event (kids 12 and under get
in free if accompanied by
an adult) is wheelchair ac-
cessible and there will be
washrooms on site.
In addition to the music,
the festival will include an
artisans' area that will fea-
ture works being made by
artists Geordie Lishman,
Dani Crosby and Grant
Cole.
Lava Yoga studio will be
in the park at noon on July
28 for a free yoga session
which is open to all, includ-
ing those who do not have a
festival wristband.
There will also be Dur-
ham craft beer and food
vendors from downtown
Oshawa restaurants.
Giberson suggests that
motorists park in the
downtown lots and street
stalls since it's free all
weekend.
Tickets are $28.25 for
Friday night, $48.03 for Sat-
urday and a weekend pass
is $67.80, available at
www.ticketscene.ca.

val.ca and the festival's

DURHAM - With an EP
recently released and a
music video on the way,
Bowmanville's Blaine
Zimmerman is enjoying a
musical life.
Zimmerman, 37, was
born in Indian Head,
Sask., and moved to Osha-
wa in 1999, moving to Bow-
manville in 2009.
He started singing
around the age of three,
when he was in his
church's choir. When he
was nine or so, his mother
bought him guitar les-
sons, but he didn't start to
take music seriously until
he got the opportunity to
play in his first band,
when he was 13.
"Being a part of some-
thing, it was really fun,"
Zimmerman said.
His favourite perfor-
mance was in 2004 when
he was in a metal band
with his friends and had
the chance to play the Op-
era House in Toronto.
In 2013, Zimmerman
graduated from Trent
University with an ho-
nours B.A. in English and
anthropology. He thought
his studies would help
with his songwriting.
"I just thought it would
help me make better art,"
he said.
One of the most memo-
rable moments in Zim-
merman's music career
was when he started re-
cording at Chalet Studios
in Claremont. He looked
up to see Aubrey Dayle on
the drums, recording his
EP. Dayle has played with
the Sam Roberts Band, on
The David Letterman
Show and performed at
Carnegie Hall.
Zimmerman's record,
Worth Fighting For, was
released May 11 and fea-
tures five songs: All In, If
It Ain't You, Ride On, The
Greatest and Worth Fight-
ing For. He had the oppor-
tunity to collaborate with
Whitby's Cadence Grace,
a member of Runaway An-
g el.
His favourite song on
the record is Ride On. He
said the song is about a
friend who died from a
brain tumour. Originally,
Zimmerman wasn't going
to include it on the EP, but
he played it at some open
mike nights and, with sup-
port and the positive feed-
back he received, decided
that he wanted it on the re-
cord.
Recording his first EP
"was different." He had
done some demo record-
ing on his own, but seeing
the different stages done
professionally was "really
eye-opening and a fun ex-
perience," he said.
The feedback he's re-
ceived has been "pretty
positive," he said. He's
working to put together a
music video for the title
track, Worth Fighting For.
Last year, Zimmerman
entered the Boots and
Hearts Emerging Star
Showcase. He wasn't a fi-
nalist, but he was able to
go to the festival.
He said, "Watching the
competition, I knew that
that's exactly what I want-
ed to do."
For the Boots and
Hearts showcase, artists
are asked to submit a vid-
eo of a performance, and
Zimmerman is looking to
submit his music video for
the competition.
He hopes that his EP
and upcoming music vid-
eo will give him the oppor-
tunity to make more mu-
sic.
"Really, what I'm trying
to do is build a little bit of a
following and have the op-
portunity to make some
more music," he said.
"It's not an easy busi-
ness," he said, but Zim-
merman hopes to contin-
ue pursuing his dream.

The two players, both 20, were
among 13 who survived the infamous
bus crash that killed 16 people in-
volved with the Saskatchewan Junior
Hockey League (SJHL) club on April
6.
While neither player wished to dis-
cuss the accident, Gomercic admitted
during a telephone interview that it
will be comforting to have Fiske pre-
sent for his rookie season in Ontario
University Athletics (OUA).
"Absolutely, just being able to lean
on each other," Gomercic said. "Get-
ting a chance to play with Bryce next
year was a big (reason for coming to
Oshawa). Also, it's a newer school, so
there will be smaller class sizes and
stuff like that, so that's a big plus for
me.
"Obviously the program is fairly
new too, but I've heard really good
things about it and it seems like it's go-
ing in the right direction, so I just re-
ally want to be a part of moving it for-
ward," he added.
Gomercic, a six-foot-three, 201-
pound left shot, scored eight goals and
added 21 assists in 45 regular season
games for the Broncos last season.
Although Ridgebacks head coach
Curtis Hodgins didn't get a chance to
see an injured Gomercic play the two
times he travelled west during the
season, he was impressed with him
during a meeting, liked what he saw
on video and trusted the confidence
expressed by members of the Broncos
staff.
"Everybody with the Broncos
spoke highly of his character, No. 1,"
said Hodgins, who expects Gomercic
to play centre. "He adds some size, he's
a six-foot-three forward that protects
pucks and plays a strong game down
low in the offensive end, and we need-
ed a little bit more of that.
"The word everybody used with
the Broncos was untapped potential,
so we're hoping to tap into that for
sure," he added. "If he can come in and
provide some size, be a good faceoff
man and chip in with offence, that's
kind of what we're expecting from
him."
Gomercic suffered a concussion
and separated shoulder in the acci-
dent, was among the first to leave the
hospital, and is expected to be fully
ready for training camp. A native of
Winnipeg, he will study kinesiology
at UOIT and hopes to be part of a win-
ning culture on the ice.
"Obviously, to win a champion-
ship," he said when asked what he
hoped to accomplish with the team. "I
think that's what everybody kind of
wants, is to be able to win. Hopefully
that's going to be a possibility within
the next four or five years."
We are thrilled to welcome @Hum-
boldtBroncos player, Matthieu Go-
mercic, to tonight's game. #Hum-

atgN0F0uiJ- Winnipeg Jets
(@NHLJets) April 21, 2018Hodgins al-
so recently added right winger Brett
Harasymuk from the SJHL champion
Nipawin Hawks, the team the Bron-
cos were travelling to play at the time
of the accident. The three newcomers
join goalies Michael Bullion and Leif
Hertz, defenceman JC Thivierge and
forwards Jake Bricknell and Austin
Eastman as part of the Ridgebacks
2018 recruitment class.
The biggest departure will be lead-
ing scorer Ben Blasko, but Hodgins
was pleased to learn recently that cap-
tain Dan Elser will be back for a
fourth season.
"We're going to be a deeper team, I
think," Hodgins said. "That's been an
issue the last couple of years. Once
we've had injuries, we started to slide
a little bit."
The Ridgebacks begin pre-season
play Sept. 15 against Western at the
Campus Ice Centre and open the reg-
ular season Oct. 5 in Sudbury against
Laurentian.

You are 20, you follow
a diet that others
couldn't, and you sacri-
f ice your social life so
t hat you get the rest re-
quired to practice and
play.
You get to the gym five
days a week and even
t wice a day for an entire
phase of your training.
You drink the pink,
you sweat, you think and
for a few glorious hours a
week you get to play with
t eammates.
Some of them under-
stand; at the very least
t hey live in your world.
Last weekend I got to
spend a few hours with a
very unique team. They
were agile and strong as
t hey gracefully bumped
and set, then powerfully
smashed the ball over the
n et where the team on the
other side did the same.
W hen the ball hit the
f loor a coach served an-
other and the practice
continued. When the play
stopped the teams quick-
ly moved into position to
serve or receive the
serve, gliding quickly in-
t o position, their hips in
constant contact with the
f loor.
You read that correct-
ly: with their hips never
leaving the floor.
I was at the Toronto
Pan-Am Sport Centre
with the national wom-
en's sitting volleyball
t eam as they prepared for
an international tourna-
m ent in the Netherlands.
Of the nine players on
t he roster, eight were am-
putees. The stories of
h ow they found their
sport were unique.
Jennifer Oakes, for ex-
ample, had her leg ampu-
t ated after a boating acci-
dent. She is still the libe-
ro on the University of
B ritish Columbia Oka-
n agan volleyball team
and one of the key players
on the Canadian women's
sitting volleyball team.
T his story is relevant
t o Durham Region be-
cause next February the
O ntario ParaSport
G ames will be in Whitby
and sitting volleyball will
be a featured sport. For
t he first time, we may see
t eams from Sinclair Sec-
ondary School and
G randview Children's
Centre competing.
I applaud the passion
in teachers, therapists
and coaches - the likes of
Cathy Kelly, Allison
Hart, Catherine Kolesnik
and Darrin Lee, who
work diligently to open
doors so others can find
t heir sport and demon-
strate their excellence.
