He was identified as one of two people at the Veld Music Festival to die, with the other a 20-year- old Toronto woman. Toronto police said 13 other people became sick and were rushed to hospital. Toronto Homicide Detec- tive Sergeant Peter Trimble said everyone who took the pills became sick. Symptoms included a gener- al feeling of being unwell, going pale, fainting, and in some peo- ple, seizures. Det. Sgt. Trimble said the pills have been identified. One of the pills being taken at the festi- val was described as small and brown, and another as a small clear capsule with a white sub- stance.

I felt like a minor headed for the big league. See, in bootcamp it was okay when we failed to follow a shoulder press through to the end. It was accept- ed if we didn’t sink our bum all the way down when performing a squat because we were new. Oh, how the tables have turned. Kristen and I have graduated from bootcamp and now we get to play with the big kids. We have started group classes and although I was nervous, I have to say the transition went over smoothly. Our first day was called “rump day.” Our skills training involved learning how to do a narrow bench press. I was able to lift 45 pounds for five reps which was pretty impressive. To be honest, I have never bench pressed before so ultimately, I thought it was a successful first crack at it. Our workout of the day consisted of eight rounds of 10 barbell step ups, 20 barbell lunges and 10 G2os (ground to overhead with bar). We had to do this all with a 15-pound bar. Coach Brock challenged us to not put the barbell down for the entire workout. Can you believe this madman? Well, I did it. Once again I pushed myself and was determined not to drop that sucker and let me tell you, it was extremely diffi- cult. Even though you may think, hey, come on, it’s only 15 pounds ... well, I suggest you try it then. My time: 17:04. “You’re definitely going to feel it in your rump,” said coach Brock. As I write this it’s been three days and I still feel it. Ouch. The next class consisted of running and DUs (double unders). Back to the jump rope and awful whip burns. When I first started skipping in Cross- Fit, I couldn’t perform a double under to save my life. However, during my second time around, for some strange reason I was able to do not one, but multiples in a row. We were asked to run one mile, do 10 DUs, run three-quarters of a mile, 20 DUs, run half a mile, 30 DUs, run quarter mile, 40 DUs. Most of the time I enjoy running but this was a differ- ent story. During one lap around the CrossFit Pickering building (equiva- lent to half a mile), coach Glen decid- ed to run with me. As I was fighting to keep up with him, he showed me an app where it sets your pace with a tick- ing sound. Each time it ticks, you take a stride. That sound was evil. I’m pretty sure Glen set it to the maximum setting. I have never run so fast in my life. Good news, I managed to com- plete this dreadful work- out. My time: 26:22. In other news, I have gained half an inch on my arms and lost an inch on my hips. It was a great way to start off my long weekend. Unfortunately, I have gained an inch on my waist. Fingers crossed we can bring this number down next time.

Charities or groups that hold 5K runs will often let partici- pants know about it well in advance so they can pre- pare, working their way up to running that dis- tance. But this wasn’t the case for my first 5K. On Friday, when I got to Cross- Fit Pickering at 7 a.m., I learned that we would be running five kilome- tres, plus skipping rope for our workout of the day. We ran in the past, but not this far. I was huffing and puffing and was glad we didn’t drag our photographer with us that day. I did a one-mile run outside, then skipped 30 times. This was followed by three quarters of a mile, and 60 skips, then half a mile and 90 skips, and finally three quarters of a mile and 120 skips. This was all non-stop, except for some water when we needed it. However, I made it. I think Leeanna beat me big time, but I didn’t care. Fin- ishing that WOD was one of the happier moments of my life. I do like to work out but have never done a 5K run because I absolutely hate running. I would rather do laundry or clean bathrooms than run. I would rather sit through two football games in a row than run. I’d rather get married outside in the middle of February than run. However, when I was finished, I was amazed that I actually did it. I don’t know what it is but when I’m at CrossFit, I feel like there’s no mess- ing around, I have to get the job done. I did, and if it weren’t for coach Glen’s encouragement, I probably wouldn’t have reached this feat. My diet has been going pretty well -- until I went to a spa on the weekend and decided I wouldn’t hold back. For our breakfasts, we had baked goods and then a hot meal. At lunches and din- ners, there were three courses. There were also mid-afternoon snacks that included carbs in the form of cookies, crackers and sandwiches. My body, so it turns out, is no lon- ger used to carbs -- I had cut them out, besides the odd cheat, for three weeks. I wouldn’t say I pigged out at the spa, but I did indulge in foods that my body had almost forgotten about. I went to bed Sunday night feeling full and woke up in the middle of the night to throw it all up. It wasn’t pleasant. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but fast forward to Monday night back at home and it was steak and veggies for dinner, and I was thrilled. Last week I was cursing my protein and veggies. I’ve learned, from this unfortunate trial and error, that when I do go back to eating carbs, I will have to do it very gradually. 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 • Au g u s t 7 , 2 0 1 4 3 AP Licensed Patio Maraschino cafe &italian Bakery now oPen!

L1S 4S2 Call Today for an appointment 905-426-3663 Ruling comes on heels of acquittal in Oshawa murder Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Canada’s top court has imposed new rules on the admissibili- ty of confessions garnered through “Mr. Big” operations like the one that snared a suspect in a Durham murder case. The much-anticipated ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada comes just days after Alan Dale Smith was acquitted of the 1974 murder of his neighbour in north Oshawa. A judge excluded confes- sions Mr. Smith made during a months- long undercover operation, citing abuse of process and violations of Mr. Smith’s Charter rights. “It is a fantastic decision,” Joanne McLean, Mr. Smith’s defence lawyer, said of Thursday’s ruling. “It is long over- due.” While Thursday’s ruling doesn’t pro- hibit police from embarking on Mr. Big operations, it does impose a stringent test to be applied to evidence resulting from them. The Crown will now have to convince judges that the evidentiary value of confessions gleaned from the stings outweighs the prejudice created against the accused. The scenarios typically see police pos- ing as criminals who befriend suspects and induct them into their organiza- tions. The price for advancement in the organization is a confession to a crime. The confession usually takes place dur- ing an interview or confrontation with the crime boss -- Mr. Big. The Supreme Court ruled in the case of Nelson Hart, a Newfoundland man who confessed to drowning his two daugh- ters after being convinced he was being welcomed into a lucrative criminal orga- nization headed by a powerful crime boss. The court found Mr. Hart’s confes- sions to undercover officers were unreli- able and couldn’t be used against him at trial. Thursday’s ruling says that while the operations can be effective, they also risk entrapping innocent people. “The Mr. Big technique comes at a price,” reads the decision. “Suspects confess to Mr. Big during pointed inter- rogations in the face of powerful induce- ments and sometimes veiled threats -- and this raises the spectre of unreliable confessions.” The court ruled that such confessions should now be regarded as “presump- tively inadmissible”, putting the onus on the Crown to convince judges they ought to be allowed as evidence at trial. Judges will be required to weigh not just the potential value of the confession but also the circumstances under which it was obtained, including the methods employed by police and the circum- stances of the suspect. Ms. McLean said the ruling doesn’t preclude police from continuing to con- duct Mr. Big operations, but does impose ground rules on how they’re conducted, and how evidence can be used. “I don’t think it’s going to stop them from doing it and arguably, nor should it,” she said. “What it should stop them from doing is the way they’ve been doing it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong, in theory, with getting by trickery a con- fession that is truthful. But where do you stop?” During court proceedings that began in January, Ms. McLean and co-coun- sel Alison Craig argued Durham police engaged in abuse of process during Proj- ect Fearless, a nearly year-long investiga- tion that saw undercover cops befriend Mr. Smith and enlist him in “plays” that involved fake gun and drug deals. The scenarios were ramped up to include a staged drug rip-off and mur- der, and culminated with Mr. Smith being ordered to dispose of the victim’s body. It was after those scenarios he offered up two confessions that varied in con- tent and, the defence argued, were not corroborated by the facts in the case. Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass agreed, finding the confessions were made under duress and had factual holes one “could dive a Mack truck through.” The judge ruled the confessions inad- missible, effectively gutting the Crown’s case. On Monday, July 28, prosecutors invited the judge to acquit Mr. Smith. The Crown still has the option to appeal Justice Glass’s ruling, but the Supreme Court decision may preclude that. On Thursday prosecutor Paul Mur- ray did not respond to a request for com- ment on the decision and its potential effect on the Smith case. Mr. Smith has declined comment on his case.

He was released at the Oshawa courthouse recently with one of his lawyers, Alison Craig all smiles behind him. In June, an Ontario Superior Court judge ruled all of the evidence gathered during a highly questionable Mr. Big sting was inadmissible at trial.

The news media has been reporting about the death of many children in Palestine and they seem to be forgetting one thing. They are omitting the fact that had Hamas not been elected in the first place, we would not have this con- flict. I am not saying that every child who has been killed has parents who voted in Hamas, but some of them did. Since Hamas was voted in (a terrorist organiza- tion) the people of Palestine cannot start to cry over the death of their children. I do not know what the Palestinians thought was going to happen when they elected Hamas. Just to let everyone know, children should not be killed no matter what. Ron Horner Peace out To the editor: Re: ‘Stay home tokers’. letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, July 9, 2014. I can understand the letter writer’s con- cern about someone being stoned on pot and driving. However, his attitude toward pot smokers is sarcastically portrayed as he says pot smokers should, “continue to spend his time in his back yard munching his favourite snack” and not drive being stoned. Why does the writer not mention drunk driving or using cellphones while driv- ing, which is just as dangerous? The writ- er is rightly averse to pot smokers driving, where others could be rightly averse to cellphone use while driving. I assume it’s just as common. Picking a lifestyle of pot smoking is not the ideal, and could be vilified along with drinking alcohol. But if no harm is done, I feel it is a personal choice, and I can only say “peace out” . Brad Hogg Justice principles not served in ‘Mr. Big’ sting Mr. Big might be fictional, but the impact he has had on crime suspects is all too real. ‘Mr. Big’, as he relates to law enforcement and justice, is almost always an undercover police officer playing a role in a sting opera- tion to encourage a wanted suspect to cop to crimes he may or may have not commit- ted. Alan Smith, the Oshawa man who was released just last week after a murder con- fession he gave to undercover Durham Regional police officers as part of a Mr. Big operation was ruled inadmissible by a judge, is now free as a direct result of the Mr. Big operation. He was acquitted in the 1974 murder of a neighbour in north Oshawa. Only days after Mr. Smith’s acquittal, the Supreme Court of Canada ordered new rules on the admissability of confes- sions gained through ‘Mr. Big’ operations. The Supreme Court’s decision released last Thursday was based on a similar case involving a Newfoundland man who con- fessed to murder as part of a ‘Mr. Big’ sting. Going forward, police can continue to use such methods, but Crown attorneys will have to convince judges of the evidentiary value of confessions that flow directly from ‘Mr. Big’ initiatives. The court noted that such confessions are drawn under intense pressure -- often given directly to ‘Mr. Big’ by the suspect -- and therefore must meet a higher evidentiary threshold. “The Mr. Big technique comes at a price,” noted the court’s decision. “Suspects con- fess to Mr. Big during pointed interrogations in the face of powerful inducements and sometimes veiled threats -- this raises the spectre of unreliable confessions.” That essentially describes the sting oper- ation involving Mr. Smith, which led to his acquittal. In rare and difficult cases, ‘Mr. Big’ oper- ations do have a place in the arsenal of police investigative techniques. This court ruling, rather than hindering police, forc- es law enforcement officials to work under much stricter rules about how these opera- tions are conducted. If these are done prop- erly under clearer guidelines and limits, it should lead to higher conviction rates for guilty parties. Here at home in the Al Smith case, the court clearly believed the methods used by police to elicit a confession to murder were a violation of his charter rights. The judge also cited abuse of process in the case. The Crown still has the option to appeal the acquittal of Mr. Smith, but that seems unlikely given the Supreme Court’s ruling. In the simplest terms, the Durham ‘Mr. Big’ operation was an expensive failure that did not serve the principles of justice. 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 • Au g u s t 7 , 2 0 1 4 7 AP Do You Have Any of the Following Conditions? • Lower or Upper Back Pain • Muscle spasm or strains • Bulging lumbar discs • Numbness or soreness in your legs • Shooting hip or thigh pain Having back and leg pain can bring life to a standstill. You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep. You have too many dreams left undone to let back pain slow you down; too many special moments waiting to be experienced. Life is too short to let pain slow you down. Pain is your body’s warning sign telling you something is wrong. Sure, you can numb the pain if you take enough pain or anti-inflammatory pills. When you mask the pain, it can prevent your back from healing – maybe even damage it further. Not to mention many of the pain medications available are quite addictive and can have devastating side effects. Could This Be the Solution to your Back Pain? We are Dr. Michael Gauthier and Dr. Mark Kasiban. Over the past 17 years we’ve seen hundreds of people with back pain leave our office pain free. Because we’ve seen it with our own eyes, we know... Back pain is NOT “just a part of life” and something you have to live with. Chiropractic has been around for over a hundred years, and has been used to help everyone from tiny babies to the elderly. Even top sports stars and entertainers…like Tiger Woods, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson receive chiropractic care. These professional athletes have the money to hire any kind of doctor they want, yet they choose to have a chiropractor on their team. “Here’s what some patients have to say…” “I had a sore back for 20 years and after I started chiropractic it was gone.” (D. D., Ajax) “I used to cry myself to sleep…now the pain is gone” (A. P., Ajax) “I was in pain constantly. I was told I would need a hip replacement in a few years. I would have to live with the pain. After getting chiropractic adjustments I am completely pain free. I have control back in my life. Thanks.” (M. M., Whitby) Here’s what some of the top medical researchers have to say about chiropractic… “Chiropractic adjustments, with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.” –British Medical Journal “Chiropractic adjustments of the spine are more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine, back corsets, and ultrasound.” --Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course, playing with your kids, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

Advertising Feature Ajax summer program bridges learning gap Pilot project to expand next summer to Pickering, Oshawa Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Much of July was a blend of learn- ing and fun for the children who took part in a pilot project at St. Bernadette Catholic School. The Council of Ontario Directors of Edu- cation, with funding and support from the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat, offered Summer Learning Programs in boards across the province to support students in primary grades who would benefit from engaging and interactive classes in literacy and numeracy learning. The Durham Catholic District School Board participated in an Ajax-based pilot project, and chose to focus on literacy. The program already runs out of the Durham District School Board. Catholic parents were extremely happy with the program. “Not one day has she ever complained about coming,” said Nicole Chandoo, whose daughter, Victoria, used the program. Victoria represents the majority of stu- dents enrolled in the program; she is transi- tioning from senior kindergarten to Grade 1. The change can be a difficult one for many students since the curriculum shifts from more play-based learning in kindergarten to academic learning in Grade 1. “It’s to bridge that gap from June to Sep- tember,” said Susan McKenna, a teacher and co-ordinator for the program. Three teachers, three early childhood edu- cators and student teachers worked with 62 students. “I was really pleased by the team that we put together,” said superintendent Gerry O’Reilly. “You get teachers who have taught all year and then are committed to come out in the summer as well.” Ms. McKenna said teachers did literacy exercises with the children in the mornings, and in the afternoons they enjoyed activi- ties, such as field trips to the Oshawa Petting Zoo and Real Canadian Superstore, where they made pizzas. They also welcomed spe- cial guests such as Zoo To You and a yoga teacher. The next morning, the students would write about their activities from the day before. Boards may invite any student to take part in the program, but preference is given to students experiencing achievement gaps or those who may have social and economic challenges. “I got to do lots of stuff. I got to learn new things,” said Joseph Smerek, who has atten- tion deficit hyperactive disorder. “I learned my sentences. I got to play.” Cori Kasha said her daughter, Taydriana, is extremely shy, and the program has helped her come out of her shell. “I am definitely impressed,” said Ms. Kasha. “Her speech is getting better. Her sto- rytelling is getting better.” Mr. O’Reilly said the program will most likely continue next year in south Ajax and the board is looking to expand it to south Oshawa and south Pickering. “I definitely recommend it and strong- ly encourage the government to look into more funding,” said Eva Smerek, Joseph’s mother. AJAX -- Abby Zaki built a structure during the Summer Learning Program at St. Bernadette Catholic School. The aim of the program is to support students in the primary grades who would benefit from engaging and interactive classes in literacy and numeracy, while identifying promising practices and connecting boards to a research study that examines the impact of summer learning.

Ajax woman walking for a day to end cancer Betty Fitzpatrick raising money to fight women’s cancers Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX -- With her mother as her inspira- tion, Betty Fitzpatrick is getting ready to do her part to battle women’s cancers. An Ajax resident, Ms. Fitzpatrick will be taking part in the one-day walk dur- ing the Weekend to End Women’s Can- cers in Toronto on Sept. 6 and 7. Money raised goes to funding research and treatment of women’s cancers at the Campbell Family Cancer Research Insti- tute at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. This year’s version is the 12th annual walk and since its inception, the event has raised more than $141 million. Ms. Fitzpatrick’s mother was diag- nosed with breast cancer last August. “I’m doing this for my mom. Other than being there for her, there’s noth- ing else I can do,” Ms. Fitzpatrick said. “Other people out there are going through different cancers. It resonates with that now.” The one-day walk is 32 kilometres, while the two-day walk is 60 km. Ms. Fitzpatrick has been fundraising and is close to her goal of $1,250. “Because it’s a one-day walk, you have to raise funds. I’m close to my goal, which is great,” she said, adding she’s only $200 away from her goal. “My friends and my family have been a great support,” she said. “It’s been a great experience overall. I’m waiting to do the walk.” She’s also been fundraising with co- workers at Morneau Shepell, doing such things as bake sales and paying to wear jeans at work. She’s been told it’s an experience to remember. “Actually, I’m looking forward to doing it very much.” One in seven Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast or gynecologic cancer in their lifetime. This year in Canada, about 31,000 women will be diagnosed with breast or gynecological cancer, and more than 8,000 will die from the disease. Fundraiser Durham welcomes marathon boxer running to knock out children’s cancer DURHAM -- Mike Strange, a Cana- dian Olympic boxer participating in the Box Run, 90 marathons in 90 days, ran through Durham Region on Aug. 5. Members of the Whitby Warriors tyke team and the Oshawa Blue Knights tyke team joined him in a short distance of the run. while he ran through Whitby. The Box Run began on May 8 in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and will finish in his hometown of Niagara Falls, rais- ing funds in support of childhood cancer research.

The technology is being installed over the summer and will be tested in the fall. Commuters will “see visually what the next stop is. They will see it and hear it. It’s always telling you where you are. It’s cool you don’t have to wonder where you’re at,” Mr. Patterson added. “I think people will be excited about real- time information of bus movements. It will tell them the next time when a bus will be at my stop. It’s updated as you go,” he said. People will know if their bus is delayed by traffic or an accident. “Rather than guess, they’ll know what’s going on,” he noted, adding a commuter could see the bus is running late. “It’s con- stantly updated with live information.” DRT is the 15th largest public transit ser- vice in the country and the smart technol- ogy “really brings us into the big leagues. We have a modern fleet,” Mr. Patterson said, adding the technology will cost about $1 million. Another feature of the technology that passengers probably won’t notice is GPS technology will provide bus operators “the same information as commuters,” he noted. It would let the operator know if they are running late, early or on time, he noted. “With electronics, there’s no guessing. It’s a real-time schedule.” The technology will make transit “a much more reliable service. It will react to all the buses on a route. We’ll be even more reli- able than we already are,” he said. Getting information to operators “will make the operators much more effective and it’s easier for us to manage things that happen every day,” Mr. Patterson said. Providing this technology is “what’s expected by our customers. I was asked ‘what’s your app?’ It’s expected. You can adjust your travel as well.” DURHAM -- New smart technology will be integrated into Durham Region Transit buses this summer that are expected to add to the communiting experience. For example, communters will soon know if their bus is delayed by traffic or an accident. The new technology will be installed over the summer and tested in the fall.

No hot pets in Pickering this summer City, Pickering Town Centre encourage keeping pets cool and safe PICKERING -- Even on a mild day, with the windows open and parked in the shade, vehicles can become dangerously hot for pets. Animals can suffer from heatstroke, heat exhaustion, or even death. A car can easily reach 100 to 120 C in just one minute on a hot summer day, warns Pickering Animal Services. That’s why the City department is ask- ing pet owners to be responsible, and leave pets at home if running errands. “Leaving a pet unattended in a car is one of the most irresponsible things an owner can do,” said Lindsey Narraway, supervisor of Pickering Animal Services. “Leave pets at home, and if an owner must bring the pet, make sure someone is with them at all times. This summer, keep every- one in the family safe and cool.” A dog’s normal temperature is 39 C. If it rises to 41 C, even for a short period of time, a dog can begin to suffer, accord- ing to Animal Services. Unlike humans, when dogs get hot, they do not have the ability to sweat to cool down. Animal Services is participating in the No Hot Pets campaign, created by the Ontario Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals, in an effort to remind pet owners of the dangers of leaving pets unattended in a vehicle dur- ing the scorching summer months. Through the campaign, pet own- ers are asked to visit nohotpets.ca and pledge to not leave pets unattended in vehicles. Those wishing to help spread the word can take the pledge and receive a free No Hot Pets window decal to display on vehicles to show support for the mean- ingful campaign. The Pickering Town Centre is also sup- porting the cause, displaying reminders to the public at mall entrances and other prominent areas. People who come across an animal that is locked inside a vehicle and in dis- tress, should immediately contact the SPCA or local Humane Society at 310- SPCA (7722) or call police. An SPCA officer is granted the author- ity under the Ontario SPCA Act to gain access to a vehicle and help an animal that is in distress or in need of food, water or shelter. For more information on summer safe- ty for pets, visit pickering.ca/animals. Let ’s make it 10 more. 10 years of travel, well remembered.

Set a goal for yourself, whether it’s by distance travelled, or new sites visit- ed, and craft your own adventure along the trails this summer. If mountain biking is your thing, you’ll want to head to the Outdoor Adven- ture Mountain Bike Trail in the Durham Regional Forest main tract. With 16 diverse trails, for all levels of difficulty, and count- less other possibilities, there’s something for everyone. Strap on your helmet, and try the 620-metre Logs Over Easy or the 3.3-kilometre Red Oak courses. Download a map at www.lsrca.on.ca/pdf/maps/dur- ham_forest.pdf and get ready for action. For road riders, hikers and walkers, there are so many trails that weave and connect through Durham Region, your adventure could last well into next year. There are so many local favourites to enjoy, which are available in the Durham Cycle Tours map. Enjoy a relaxing rural route, with culinary delights, along the West Clarington Loop. Choose a nice stretch from this extensive 60-kilometre route, perhaps starting at the Bowmanville Marina, before heading up to enjoy stunning landscapes and roll- ing hills. Plan a lunch, and stop at a trendy cafe in downtown Orono or Bowmanville, and browse through the unique shops until you’re ready to roll again. For fresh air and a cool breeze, don’t miss a truly wonderful ride along the Water- front Trail. Select your ideal run from the vast 84-kilometre Durham Region route that stretches along Lake Ontario. This is an easy-riding, scenic route with plenty of picnic stops along conservation areas. Visit www.waterfronttrail.org to help plan a journey. If you’re looking for a hint of history and culture, try the Pickering/Ajax Loop, which runs a full 51 kilometres. You can start right down at the Pickering water- front area, located at the bottom of Liver- pool Road. Then, fuel up with lunch at the lakeside Nautical Village before heading west on the Waterfront Trail. This route will take you north, then east, through Pickering’s charming rural areas, with the opportunity to experience history and cul- ture along the way. On your way home why not stop for some snacks and shopping in Pickering Village? If you’re looking to hike on two feet, there are trails to explore. Hike the Oak Ridges Moraine through the Uxbridge Country- side Preserve, and reward yourself with a nice dinner and stroll down Main Street. Uxbridge is the Trails Capital of Canada.

So scary, in fact, that it beats death as the No. 1 fear for most people. To understand what it is that scares us so much -- and learn how to overcome that fear -- I signed up for a public speaking course through JCI (Junior Chamber International) Durham. The non-profit organization is composed of a group of people between the ages of 18 and 40 who spearhead and take part in various activities to develop their skills and improve their communities. The public speaking course was split into two three-hour classes taught by JCI Durham president Erin Guillemette, who was named JCI world public speaking champion at the JCI World Congress in Rio de Janeiro last year. “The mind is a wonderful thing,” said Ms. Guillemette, kicking off the course with a paraphrased quote by comedian and actor George Jessel. “It starts working the minute you’re born and doesn’t stop until you get up and have to speak in public.” Beginning a speech with a famous person’s words is one approach she recommends for grabbing an audience’s attention. It can also help ease your nerves by taking some of the pressure off you to come up with a clever opening. For anyone who’s ever gone into a speech feeling prepared but found themselves draw- ing a blank when it came time to open their mouth, George Jessel’s statement rings true. One way to avoid this is to stay calm, said Ms. Guillemette. “Breathe. Take a deep breath. Even when you get up on stage, before you even have to start talking, look at your audi- ence, smile, take a deep breath, realize that you’re here. This is your performance time. This is your stage.” If your mind blanks in the middle of your speech, like it did for me when we started practising, try to jog your memory by repeat- ing what you said last or jumping to another idea. “Summarize, give an example, look at your notes, take a breath, take a sip of water,” said Ms. Guillemette. “Those pauses bring people in so if you’re going on and you’re not sure what your next point is, just look around, smile and take your pause. Remember that they don’t know what you’re supposed to say.” Ms. Guillemette and past JCI Canada presi- dent Ralph Machon broke down an effective speech for us, beginning with an introduc- tion that captures the audience’s attention, a body that highlights the speaker’s message, and a powerful conclusion that summarizes the main arguments. “The structure of a speech is tell them what you’re going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you told them,” said Mr. Machon. “That way, the human mind will under- stand where you’re going and the summary will reinforce all the things that you told them throughout the speech.” Mumbling, fidgeting, or using too many technical words during a speech could cause you to lose your audience, he warned. “It’s up to the speaker to communicate with their audience in a way that they can best glean the information that you’re trying to get across.” When it comes time to wrap up your speech, Ms. Guillmette said, it’s important to leave a lasting impression. “When you finish speaking, breathe and smile. You want to walk off with the same confidence that you walked on with.” The JCI Durham public speaking course is offered twice a year to help members enhance their speaking and presentation skills. “The person that can clearly articulate at the boardroom table is often the one that’s going to get noticed over the one that works the hardest,” said Ms. Guillemette on the importance of acquiring effective speaking skills. “You need to be able to take 30 seconds or however long you have and clearly artic- ulate what you want to say in order to be noticed. “If you let those 30 seconds pass by just trying to think of what to say because you’re nervous or scared, you’re going to miss those opportunities to move forward in life.” For more information: visit www.jcidurham.com Taming those dreaded butterflies What It’s Like...

PI C K E R I N G PI C K E R I N G AD V E R T I S I N G F E A T U R E During these tough economic times, businesses need an affordable way to advertise their products and services and create a name for themselves in the community. The Focus on Business advertising feature was designed to help businesses succeed at an affordable price. The feature has five zones: Ajax, Pickering, Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington, and advertisers can choose to run in any number of them. If they want to target a specific area, they can choose one zone or if they want broad coverage they can choose to run in all five. Advertising packages are available for six weeks, 18 weeks, 36 weeks and 52 weeks, and discounted rates are available for longer- term commitments. “I have nothing but good things to say about the Focus on Business feature,” says Wayne Hutchison, owner of Durham Windows and Doors, who has been advertising in the feature for 15 years. Having an ad in the newspaper every week helps businesses build recognition. Readers who see the advertisement on a regular basis become familiar with the business. Running in the section long term shows potential customers that the business is consistent and is there for the long term. The feature includes a 3” wide by 1.5” deep ad, but the best part is the free editorial that comes with each six week run. The articles will talk in-depth about the business and can include a photograph or image. Many advertisers find that the articles provide a surge in phone calls and sales. The articles allow readers to learn more about the businesses, including detailed information about the products and services they offer. Many advertisers have seen a dramatic increase in their bottom line because of advertising in the section. For more information on the Focus on Business feature or to book an ad, please call Connie Baker at (905) 579-4400 ext. 2271 or email cbaker@durhamregion.com.

Ron Pietroniro / Metroland Over the last twenty years or so, Durham Region residents have received a variety of benefits from the various cultures that have become part of our community. One of those benefits is the cuisine. And one of the most successful cuisines to make its mark in the area is that of sushi or Japanese food. One of the best examples of sushi restaurants in the area are the two locations of Makimono Japanese Restaurant with locations in Ajax and Pickering. All-You-Can-Eat lunches start at $13.99 per adult while All-You-Can- Eat dinners are $20.99 per adult. Some restrictions apply. Visit www. makimono.ca or one of their locations for details.

On a recent afternoon, the 15-year-old Oshawa resident was working on a con- temporary dance for the first time with Kayla Johnston, 17, of Ajax. It was part of a scholarship package he won at the dance studio and was created by Natasha Lewis, who has performed with Aaron Carter and Janet Jackson. “I think the dance is about me trying to keep her, but she doesn’t want me,” Latrell explains. They work out details with Lewis as they go through the dance, which is just under three minutes, figuring out where a hand should be at a given moment, and the like. “(Lewis) likes to make it perfect before we go on, so we end up tweaking a few things,” Latrell says. They’re getting an early start as the dance is to be ready for the next com- petitive season, which begins in the early spring. A friend’s mother recommended Step With Style to Latrell. Kayla was more of an early bird as far as getting into dance: she’s been at SWS for five years and dancing in general since she was four. Kayla says “it’s worth it” to make the trip from Ajax to Step With Style. “The teachers here are really good,” she says. “They bring you up; they lift your confidence.” “They really care about you as a per- son,” Latrell adds. The studio had a banner year in 2014, says owner and artistic director Amanda Coatham. “SWS’s large extended line routine, Now You See Me, won first place in every competition and finals we attended,” she says, noting these were the Fever, Move and Galaxy events. “What is wonderful about this is that this routine included all 79 full-time competitive members from ages six to 17 years. Working together like a team the stu- dents say the extended line is their favourite routine to participate in.” Over the year dancers also won many other first-place awards and there’s almost not enough room at the Wilson Road studio to display the countless tro- phies studio dancers have picked up. Most of us think of a dance studio offering programs just for kids and youths. But SWS has programs for rec- reational and competitive dancers, ages one to adults. Asked what she loves about dancing, Kayla says, “When I started dancing it was just the feeling I got; it’s an unbe- lievable feeling. “You can explore and be yourself,” she says. Latrell says he feels “free” when he dances. He received a big confidence boost at a competition this year when an adjudica- tor told him he could go far in the dance world. But Latrell says he’s undecided about a career in dance. Kayla’s in her last year at SWS and wants to pursue dancing for as long as she can. “What makes SWS stand out from the rest is the quality of each and every pro- gram,” Coatham says. “From recreation- al and pre-comp to the higher competi- tive levels there is something for every- one in the family.” For more information about the stu- dio, contact SWS at 905-723-1133 or visit www.stepwithstyle.ca. OSHAWA -- Latrell Lyttle, an Oshawa resident, and Kayla Johnston of Ajax worked on a contemporary dance rou- tine at Step With Style in Oshawa. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland You see it all at Boots and Hearts, includ- ing things you'd rather not see. People making out. People passing out. People vomiting. And strange stuff. On Saturday night, after Luke Bryan's crazy set, as photographer Sabrina Byrnes and I were walking to my car to leave, we heard a rhythmic, scraping-type sound. It was a Bootser. Alone, he was wear- ing a cowboy hat and hopping on one foot back, I imagine, to a camping area, appar- ently injured but covering a lot of ground. On Sunday, as I was sitting on the grass soaking it all in, a woman in a short white dress walked by -- and she was also wearing very high heels. C'mon girlfriend, comfort over fashion at B and H. Most of all, you see thousands of young people getting drunker as day turns to night. Thankfully, the vast majority are happy drunks. Loud, sure, obnoxious, some, bel- ligerent, a few. This has become Durham’s biggest party and the word is definitely out: Clarington’s Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is the place to be on the August long weekend. I read so many tweets over the weekend from people who weren’t at Boots and Hearts. Jealous, sad, even angry and bitter that they couldn’t experience it. Jim Nicholl, 55, from Barrie was there for the first time with his lady Gail Povey. It was Gail’s 50th birthday present and they were camping. “We came up Wednesday and we’ve met some of the most amazing people,” he said. “My girl and myself feel like grandparents. It’s an incredible time.” But he didn’t feel out of place, even though most of the crowd was less than half his age and Jim’s biggest party days and nights are behind him. “They go hard; they go really hard,” he said of the young Bootsers. “The best thing is we met great peo- ple.” Jim didn’t stick around for too long; two of those great people came along and whisked him away to have a drink. And the music. A nice mix of headlin- ers this year. For more stories, videos and photos, go to www.durhamregion.com. Sights, sounds of Boots and Hearts Mike Ruta Entertainment Editor Music Durham’s rising talent plays on after Boots and Hearts Country music fans coming down from what was, by all accounts, a very successful Boots and Hearts fest can still get their twang on with some new music from Durham Region’s rising stars. Oshawa’s country singer Cadence Grace performed at Boots and Hearts with her new three-piece Runaway Angels. The Angels played a couple of songs as part of the Emerging Artist Showcase. They are work- ing with CCMA-winning producer Jason Barry and their single Run Angel Run will be released to radio soon. B and H alumni The Stellas, from Whitby and now residents of Nashville, have released their track Gravy. It will be on their upcoming full-length album and was co-written with Fred Wilhelm.

That could sum up the experiences of Ajax’s Nichelle Prince and Whitby’s Kailen Sheridan in the biggest game of their soccer lives Tuesday night, the opener of the FIFA under-20 women’s World Cup tournament at BMO Field in Toronto. Prince entered the match as a substitute 60 minutes in, and made an immediate and impressive impact, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 1-0 loss to Ghana, the result of a goal that keeper Sheridan admitted after- ward she’d like to have another crack at stopping. Sheridan made a sprawling save on an initial shot from Edem Atovor 22 minutes into the game, but she couldn’t corral the rebound and left a gaping net for Sherifatu Sumaila to put home what proved to be the lone strike of the match. “Very difficult loss,” Sheridan said after- ward. “I can’t say what the outcome could’ve been, but I just feel like the team could’ve done a lot better, and I think myself could’ve been a little bit better on the goal. There was a lot of breakdown though, so I can’t put it all on one person. I know that going into the next game we’re going to be better.” Canada will have to be better if it hopes to advance in the 16-team competition. Only the top two teams in each pool reach the quarter-finals, meaning a loss to either Fin- land on Friday or North Korea next Tuesday would likely prove fatal. Playing in front of an enthused crowd of 14,834 on a beautiful night in Toronto, including a small but loud contingent of Ghana fans, the Canadians controlled a bet- ter part of the play in the second half Tues- day, but couldn’t beat Victoria Ageyi, who was voted player of the match. Prince was a big part of the reason why Canada was so threatening late in the game, creating several excellent scoring chances once she replaced Valerie Sanderson at for- ward for the final 35 minutes. “The plan for me was to come into this game and make an impact,” Prince explained afterward. “We needed a goal late in the game, so I was told to break the line and keep threatening their back line.” Prince, a Pickering High School grad on scholarship at Ohio State University, had her best chance to score nine minutes after getting the nod, splitting a pair of Ghana defenders and getting off a high shot that Ageyi snared. Canadian coach Andrew Olivieri admitted in the post-game press conference that his side would likely have benefitted from her presence a little earlier. “She made an absolute difference,” he said. “We would have loved to have brought her in earlier, but we have a tournament to manage. We know that there are three games and having players on the pitch when you need them most is a thing that we have to try to do as a staff.” Although frustrated in defeat, both Prince and Sheridan remained optimistic about the team’s chances, and were thrilled with the opportunity to play so close to home for the first time internationally. “It’s crazy seeing my friends and family,” said Prince. “It was an amazing experience. They know I travel a lot for the game, but for them to be able to actually watch me was a phenomenal experience and I’m grateful to all of them for coming out.” “It was crazy walking down the tunnel and seeing all the fans,” added Sheridan, a grad- uate of Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Sec- ondary School, now at Clemson University. “It was nice to be in our home country, on our home turf for the first time for me actu- ally. It just gave me a rush. I couldn’t stop smiling. I was so happy to see so many peo- ple out to support us.” Canada plays again in Toronto on Friday before shifting to Montreal for Tuesday’s game with North Korea, the highest-ranked team in the group. 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 • Au g u s t 7 , 2 0 1 4 23 APSports Brad Kelly Sports Editor / bkelly@durhamregion.com / 905-579-4400 #2254 AJAX -- Ajax’s Nichelle Prince, left, went after teammate Rebecca Quinn at a practice for the Canadian U-20 women’s soccer team in Woodbridge.

Featuring 20 sports at multiple venues, the Games have become Ontario’s largest multi-sport event, including both team and individual sports, and are a stepping stone to many national and international competitions. Horlock and Martin are attending as part of the 16-mem- ber central zone archery team, which is com- prised of both male and female athletes ranging in age from 14 to 20 who shoot either com- pound or recurve bows. When Martin started compound archery about three years ago, he wasn’t thinking about competing in tourna- ments. However, over the last couple of years, he has participated in several indoor and outdoor tournaments and has placed as high as second, third and fourth in 3D competitions. He has been train- ing at the Youth Development Program at York County Bowmen since September of last year. Horlock was introduced to archery three years ago by her father, Rob Hor- lock. Undergoing treatment for advanced stage cancer, her father was seeking a sport for his rehabilitation that required focus and concentration, and would pro- vide a physical challenge. Kaity wanted to spend time with her dad and togeth- er they joined the York County Bowmen archery club. She enjoys various forms of archery with a preference for indoor and outdoor target. Coached by her father, she is aiming to attend the world youth championships next year. Horlock currently holds provincial and Canadian records and achieved a top-five finish at the U.S. indoor championship.

Under the direction of head coach Bev Priestman, Canada has been placed in Group D in the 16-team competition along- side Haiti, Cuba and Puerto Rico. “This is the first development contact with this group of players outside of a wider iden- tification camp,” said Priestman, who guided Canada to the quarter-finals at the FIFA U-17 women’s World Cup in Costa Rica in March. “It’s an opportunity to really assess the play- ers selected for the future.” Ajax’s Candace Chapman, who won an Olympic bronze medal with Canada’s wom- en’s team at the 2012 London Games, will serve as a technical assistant for the team. Canada will open the competition on Thursday at the Cayman Brac Sports Field against Puerto Rico. 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 • Au g u s t 7 , 2 0 1 4 25 AP 1-888-806-1856 triosdurham.comCONTACTUS TODAY!
