Of the six athletes contacted prior to the Aug. 5 opening cer- emonies, only field hockey player Keegan Pereira had his full immediate family joining him in Brazil. Hurdler Chanice Taylor-Chase will be accompanied by her mom, Sharon Chase, while equestrienne Jessica Phoenix, ath- letes Matt Hughes and Nikkita Holder and soccer player Ally- sha Chapman felt better leaving everyone at home. Phoenix, who was joined by her family when she made her Olympic debut in London four years earlier, was blunt when asked if such fears as the Zika virus, poor water conditions and crime played a role in her decision to fly solo. “Yeah, absolutely. My children are definitely staying at home,” said Phoenix, a 32-year-old Uxbridge native now liv- ing in Cannington with her husband and two young kids. “My children have normally come to past Olympics, but this year the family felt it was safer if they stayed at home.” She’s far from alone in feeling that way. Holder, a 29-year-old hurdler from Pickering, is also head- ed to her second Olympics, and was thrilled to have her mom, Sandra Colaire, and sister Shaleah join her in London.

Forty food trucks will be serving up tasty fare at the sec- ond annual festival, one of Canada’s premier food truck events, Aug. 5 to 7. “Pickering is definitely one of our favourites because we know how enthusiastic the people are,” says Caro- lyn Sandler, catering events manager for Fidel Gastro’s, a popular food truck participating in the event. “They come out, they’re so excited to see the trucks.” Last year, Pickering festival goers helped break num- bers for the amount of Fidel Gastro’s famous pad thai fries that were sold. Fidel Gastro’s will also be offering up its Porknado, “a tornado of pulled pork” topped with deep-fried mini dumplings. “It’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure,” says Ms. Sandler. Pat Carpignano, the festival’s director of operations, expects nice weather and a good turnout this weekend. “We do it in conjunction with Sick Kids hospital,” he says. All donations go to the Hospital for Sick Children. Last year, between the food truck festivals in Toronto and Pickering, $25,000 was raised. “This year we’re hoping to double that,” Mr. Carpigna- no said. Admission is free and plenty of parking will be available. The festival will run on Friday, Aug. 5, from 6 to 11 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 6, from noon to 11 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 7 from noon to 9 p.m. Esplanade Park is located at One The Esplanade in Pickering.

Ms. Thusoo, who works at IBM as an ana- lyst and lived for 12 years in Ajax before moving to Pickering in March, likes to chal- lenge herself to do different things. “It builds character,” she says. Ms. Thusoo received three days of train- ing before entering the pageant that look place in Mississauga in June, where she was up against women from across Cana- da. She was required to answer questions, and walk in one evening gown and in one Indian gown, and to perform in a talent show. “I performed a hip hop Bollywood fusion dance,” she says. In October, she’ll compete against women from more than 40 other countries for the 25th anniversary competition tak- ing place in Fords, NJ, which will be done over a two-day period. “I’m very excited,” she says. “I’m not so much nervous.” Although born in Africa, Ms. Thusoo’s family’s roots stem from Kashmir, India, an area that has experienced much unrest over the past 70 years. “We are the minority there,” she says. “That’s been a huge factor in shaping how not just me, but my entire family has had a perspective on life. We’ve always been very strong. We have a big drive to succeed in the world.” Her family immigrated to Canada in 2001, settling in Ajax. “Mostly Canada’s been my home,” she says. “I love it. I think the sense of commu- nity is so strong, especially in Durham. We really love it.” To learn more about Ms. Thusoo, or to donate jewelry or clothing for the October pageant, visit her Facebook page at www. facebook.com/zoonimiwwc or send her an email at zoonithusoo@gmail.com . ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m Dine-in, Take-OuT Or Delivery!

Time to fill up the hummingbird feed- ers! I promised some readers I’d give a heads-up when ruby-throats are moving through again, heading back to Mexico, and they’re starting to. My reminder was seeing a slim, short- tailed hummer -- this year’s young? -- visiting one of the first scarlet tube blos- soms on my hummingbird sage. A friend gave me four of these fragrant-leaved plants she’d started from last year’s seeds. We figure it was raccoons climb- ing over the garden fence that trampled three, but one thrived and now has spiky stalks with crimson flowers, just in time to feed migrating ruby-throats. Our jewelweed is just starting to bloom as well, each small orange dangling flow- er holding a sip of sweet nectar for a hungry hummingbird -- or bumblebee. As soon as I saw that first hummer, I put a pot of syrup on the stove -- one part white sugar to four parts water -- and brought it just to a boil. While it cooled, I found and scrubbed our two feeders, then filled and hung them out. Ta-da! We were soon rewarded by visitors, first a female or a fledgling -- not always sure I can tell them apart -- and then by an adult male. And for a few days the same ones seem to be hanging around the neighbour- hood, with the pale-bellied ‘female’ coming and going from the west, and the dark-throated male zipping like a bullet straight back into the pines behind the house whenever he’d drunk his fill. Our zinnias are coming into bloom, too, and hummers often visit them. And though our great big butterfly bush winterkilled last year, two new ones we planted are in flower, and hummingbirds love them. So the yard is a ready oasis as these tiny, feisty flyers start moving through Durham. Their numbers usually peak in late August early September, but late- comers from northern woods can show up on into October. Lots of readers have had humming- birds around all summer. Susan Smyth of Whitby told me she still has orioles, even, while I haven’t seen an oriole for weeks. Mindy Pearson of north Oshawa reports whole hummingbird families: “These guys aren’t afraid anymore. They will actually hover in front of our faces, right where we’re sitting.” Janet Armstrong has ruby-throats at her cottage on Kahshe Lake every sum- mer, and once raised a baby humming- bird left homeless by a storm. Last week a hairy woodpecker hung upside-down on Janet’s nectar feeder for several min- utes, lapping sugar water with its tongue.

PICKERINGTOWNCENTRE Lower Level Centre Cour t 2016 Health department preparing a report on impact booze has on community DURHAM -- What are your thoughts on alco- hol? Durham Region’s health department wants residents to take an anonymous online sur- vey that’s looking at the impact alcohol has on the community. “With increased alcohol availabili- ty throughout the province and Durham Region, and with even more planned for this fall, we want to give residents a chance to share their thoughts on this subject through our survey,” said Chris Arnott, a public health nurse with the department. Information gathered may be used in an upcoming department report on alcohol, scheduled to be completed early next year. The report won’t have the names of survey participants or any identifying information on those who choose to share their stories and ideas. Research indicates that alcohol is listed in the same cancer-causing category as tobacco, the sun’s UV rays and formaldehyde. Stud- ies also show that as little as one drink a day can increase the risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, neck, liver colon, rectum and female breast. Alcohol can also increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes, as well as contributing to mental health prob- lems, such as depression. “In addition to the risks to physical health, alcohol can also impact people’s lives through serious second-hand effects such as community safety, impaired driving, domes- tic violence, assault, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, and child neglect and abuse,” Ms. Arnott added. Over the past year, the provincial govern- ment has loosened rules to make alcohol more available in the community, including the sale of beer and cider in grocery stores. Also, the government recently announced home delivery of alcohol, while some coffee chains are also starting to sell alcohol. “More convenience and more choice may result in more consumption,” Ms. Arnott said. Research shows that as alcohol becomes more available in a community, rates of drinking also increase. This is a concerning trend for those who are at higher risk of harm from drinking alcohol, such as youth, she added. Health department research shows that one in four high school students in Durham reported excessive drinking. Ms. Arnott explained, “The adolescent brain is not fully developed until the mid-20s and alcohol use at an earlier age can damage areas of the brain responsible for decision- making, problem-solving and dealing with emotions.” Women also differ from men when it comes to alcohol-related harms. “Women have less water in their bodies than men and fewer enzymes to digest alcohol,” Ms. Arnott said. “This means that women will feel the effects of alcohol more quickly and longer with fewer drinks of alcohol.” The department found that one in five adult women in the region reported binge drink- ing at least once a month. Binge drinking for women is defined as four or more drinks on one occasion; for men, it’s five or more drinks on one occasion. “It can be said that we live in a culture that normalizes and often celebrates drink- ing alcohol as a way of life,” said Ms. Arnott. “Everywhere we go, the message to drink alcohol is highlighted, while the messages about the risks are rarely included.” To participate in the survey or for more information about the harms associated with alcohol consumption, visit durham.ca/alco- hol or call Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729.

Clark Richardson Collegiate’s Casey Chung from the Durham District School Board Shane MacDonald smacdonald@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Don’t chase the marks, just enjoy the learning process. That’s some advice from the Dur- ham District School Board’s top schol- ars for the 2015-2016 school year. Shahzaib Khattak, who attended Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby, and Casey Chung, who attended J. Clarke Richard- son in Ajax, both achieved an overall aver- age of 98.5 per cent in their graduating year, making them the school board’s top scholars. High marks are often equated with suc- cess but for these scholars, finding a bal- ance is more important. Mr. Khattak says that was part of his phi- losophy. Study smart, not hard. “I don’t think there has been a minute in class I didn’t give the teacher my undivid- ed attention,” he said. On top of doing well in school, Mr. Khat- tak played for the varsity basketball team and was named the captain when he was in Grade 12. “I had to find my balance in high school,” Mr. Khattak explained. “If I worked more efficiently in class, more efficiently outside of class, I had to spend less time studying if I learned it properly the first time.” For Mr. Khattak, that approach helped him find success in his studies. “Don’t chase marks but seek a thorough knowledge base and enjoy the subject matter,” he said. Mr. Khattak plans to attend McMaster University for life sciences and then apply to medical school. He says he had an offer to attend the University of Toronto on a $22,000 schol- arship but decided against it. “That was a really big decision I had to make,” he said. “I felt McMaster would give me a better university experience.” Ms. Chung says she was a little surprised to find out she had the highest average. “It kind of just happened,” she said. “I wasn’t expecting the highest average.” She says there is no secret to getting good marks. “It’s more about organizing your time and prioritizing what you need to do,” she explained. Ms. Chung agrees with Mr. Khattak’s statement about finding a balance in life and school. “Grades aren’t everything,” Ms. Chung said. “You need to learn how to balance your academic life and social life.” When she is not at school, Ms. Chung says she likes to draw and hang out with friends. She also joined the orchestra band at school and volunteers during the sum- mer. “I joined a different variety of clubs to expose myself to a lot of experiences,” she said. Ms. Chung says she will look into clubs and other activities when she heads to the University of Waterloo for the mathemat- ics and chartered professional accounting program. When asked what advice she would give to someone looking to succeed in school like she has, Ms. Chung says don’t pro- crastinate. “Don’t leave things to the last minute,” she said. “You learn your better work comes when you take your time.” Whitby, Ajax students top scholars in Durham Justin Greaves / Metroland DURHAM -- Casey Chung, photo at left, is one of the Durham District School Board’s top scholars for the 2015-2016 school year, with an overall average of 98.5 per cent in her graduating year. Meanwhile, Shahzaib Khattak earned an overall average of 98.5 per cent in his graduating year. Shahzaib earned a scholarship to McMaster University where he will study life sciences. Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Drug charges against a man and woman have been dismissed after a judge ruled the traffic stop that led to their arrest was the result of racial profiling by Durham police. An officer saw a white woman in the company of a black man near a motel in Whitby and concluded they might be engaged in prostitution, Superior Court Justice Robert Charney noted in ruling drugs seized during the 2014 traffic stop should be excluded as evidence. The judge found the officer’s stated rationale for stopping the car -- that the female driver did not match the descrip- tion of the registered owner -- was a “pre- text” to justify what amounted to arbitrary detention. “The police took advantage of the arbi- trary detention to unlawfully search the vehicle,” said Justice Charney, whose writ- ten decision was released July 28. The stop occurred Sept. 14, 2014 -- a Sunday afternoon -- on Dundas Street in Whitby. A Durham police officer testi- fied he saw the defendants, Beverly Ann O’Grady and Jeffrey Ferguson-Cadore, pull away from a motel with Ms. O’Grady at the wheel of the car and Mr. Ferguson- Cadore in the passenger seat beside her. The officer knew from experience that the area is known for prostitution and sus- pected Ms. O’Grady may have been under the control of a pimp, court heard. He testified he was concerned for the young woman’s safety. When the officer ran the vehicle’s plates he found the car was registered to a woman born in 1965, a description Ms. O’Grady did not fit; he initiated a traffic stop based on that finding, although he said he had no concerns that the car was being driven unsafely. During the stop, the cop noted an odor of marijuana emanating from the car. When he asked the young woman if she was engaged in prostitution, she replied she was checking out the motel as a potential place to have a party with friends, court heard. A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of drugs including marijuana, cocaine and Oxycocet, court heard. Ms. O’Grady and Mr. Ferguson-Cadore were both charged with multiple counts of pos- session for the purpose of trafficking. Lawyers for the defendants sought exclu- sion of the seized drugs, arguing police committed multiple Charter breaches. While the Crown conceded some breach- es occurred -- a delay in allowing the defendants to consult lawyers and their not immediately being informed of the reason for the stop -- a prosecutor con- tended the officer was authorized to stop the car, and that the subsequent stop and search were lawful. The judge sided with the defence, accepting the argument that the stop was based on a hunch by the officer, and that concerns about ownership of the vehicle were used as an excuse to conduct it. “The police officer’s initial suspicions and concerns for the safety of a young white female were based on the fact that she was seen in the company of a black male. There was really nothing more to it than that,” Justice Charney wrote. “I am satisfied on the balance of probabilities that questions about the ownership of the vehicle were a pretext for stopping the car.” The judge ruled that the drugs seized during the stop and statements made by the defendants to police would be exclud- ed as evidence.

Crawford & Sons: Fixing Basement Leaks Right the First Time Water can damage anything it comes across, including carpets, flooring, furniture, drywall, electronics and more. At the first sign of water entering your basement, it’s time to call the experts. Trying to repair it yourself can lead to delays and more damage being done. You want to work with professionals who will repair your basement leak right the first time. The first step in repairing a basement leak is pinpointing where the problem is. Every home is unique, and there isn’t a one-size-fits all solution for every type of leak. You need someone with experience who can determine the source of the water and come up with the right solution. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for over 35 years and has been in over 15,000 homes in Durham Region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine and I’m still learning,” he says. Once the source of the leak has been determined, Gordon will devise a solution that will be both successful and cost efficient. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Sometimes, the best solution is to stop the leak from inside. This will also avoid having to dig up any landscaping. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board is a very good solution,” says Gordon. “It’s extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” It’s important to fix the leak as soon as you spot it, as the longer you leave it, the more damage it will do. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation. For more information, call Gordon at (905) 686-6880.

AJAX -- Police have released images of a suspect in the sexual assault of a young woman last month in Ajax, and are calling for potential witnesses to come forward. The 18-year-old victim said she was waiting for a bus at the Ajax GO station on Westney Road South at about 9:30 p.m. July 18 when she was approached by the man, who tried to start a conversation, Durham police said. The man’s talk became sexual and he inappropriately touched the woman, police said. The victim left to board a bus but when she saw the man approach another woman, she returned and interrupted, police said. When the first woman headed again for her bus, the suspect followed, police said. She alerted a bus driver and the suspect fled. Police have released images of the suspect, a south Asian man believed to be in his mid-20s who is about six feet tall, with a slim build, short dark hair that was spiked in front and a short goatee. He wore a blue, short-sleeved shirt with a collar and black pants. The man said his name is Jamal, police said. Investiga- tors also want to speak to the second woman who was approached that day by the suspect. Call police at 905-579-1520, ext. 5248 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Police trying to identify suspectinvolved in Ajax sexual assault Submitted photo AJAX -- Police have released images of a man wanted in connection with the sexual assault of a woman July 18 in Ajax.

Musicians will provide live accompaniment at some of the sessions, and some sessions will include dancers in full costume. The workshop runs on Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. at the museum, from Sept. 20 to Nov. 1. The museum is at 2365 6th Conces- sion, Pickering. It’s $60 to register.

Alotofpeoplehavetroublecatching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of s pecial cells in the ear.A newtypeof hearingaidcan help balance thisout. A great many people have difficulty hearingothersclearlyonadailybasis. Badacoustics,unclearpronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say.Thisresultsin them having to repeatedly ask questions,straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in largegroups.As mentionedearlier,thismaybecaused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers,“motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifyingquiet sounds.Theyvibrate upto 20,000 times per second.Ifthese hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leadstomore difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations.If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearingaidsthatamplifyquietspeech anddampenloud ambientnoisecanbe a good solution for most people. Hair cells in the ear move very rapidlyandcanactasanamplifieror dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. This improvement in hearing can be achievedforsomeclients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Sears Hearing Centre is currently lookingto improvehearingforpeople who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology.

Numerous studies have shown that learning to play an instrument will help your child increase their brain power; develop important academic skills; create mental images, which is the basis of mathematics and analytic thinking; sharpens memory skills and helps with reading. Music lessons also help develop physical skills, such as coordination and motor skills; cultivate social skills; learn patience and discipline; and boost self-esteem.Group lessons are an incredibly effective way for children to learn. Not only will they have more time to learn with their instruments - an hour for a group instead of the typical half an hour for a private lesson - but they get to play together. The students can learn from each other and help each other along the way.Pickering Piano & Guitar is now accepting new students into their group lesson programs. They offer theory classes and group classes in piano and guitar. Every student will start with prepatory books and all students have the option to switch to the Royal Conservatory of Music program when they are ready.Teacher Soula Hardy has been teaching for 20 years. She is experienced with offering both group and private lessons and has also worked with children for years, helping them experience the joy of music. She has a music studio in her home where the lessons take place. It’s a very music-oriented home and she has a variety of guitars, pianos and keyboards. The keyboards are top quality Roland keyboards that have the characteristics of a real piano.

As a rule of thumb, if you have a base portfolio of less than $100,000, you might find that mutual funds are preferable.With a single mutual fund purchase, you can get exposure to many stocks or many bonds, or a combination of both.That gives you instant diversification with a relatively small amount of money.While diversification does not guarantee a profit and does not protect against a loss in a declining market, it can significantly reduce risk. On the other hand, once you have a base portfolio size greater than $100,000, you might consider beginning to invest in individual stock. For example, you could create a basket of high-quality, dividend paying stocks in different sectors and geographies for proper portfolio diversification. Speak to your financial advisor about your particular situation.Whether it’s stocks, mutual funds or a combination of both, it’s important to select the right ones in the right amounts.

How Soon After an Accident Should I Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer? John Russell DINING OUT ADVERTISING FEATURE In Ajax & Pickering The art of choosing a good restaurant When you decide to dine out, it’s important to choose the right restaurant according to your taste. Choosing well will allow you to have an enjoyable outing that meets your expectations. A pub and its lively atmosphere is the ideal place to enjoy a good meal. Loud music or the sound of televised sports events will mean you can have lively conversations without disturbing the other custom- ers. For a romantic evening, or for serious conver- sations, a restaurant with a quieter atmosphere and ﬁ ltered lighting would be a more appropriate choice. A FAMILY MEAL If you’re going out with the children, the ideal choice would be a family restaurant with a play- room or some other kind of entertainment, such as placemats to colour. Here you can eat quietly with- out the children getting impatient. NEW RESTAURANTS Of course it’s always reassuring to choose a well- established restaurant that has a good reputa- tion. However, discovering new restaurants, which frequently offer an innovative culinary experience such as fusion cuisine, vegetarian meals, raw food dishes, etc, can make a nice change. LIMITED BUDGETS Even if you have a limited budget for eating out you’ll always be able to ﬁ nd somewhere that suits your needs. To save money, keep in mind that many restaurants offer weekday specials or menus that can be shared. If you avoid ordering appetizers or aperitifs, it will not only result in a smaller bill but you’ll also be able to eat out more often! PICKERING 1790 Liverpool Rd.

Aickman’s Heirs, edited by Simon Strantzas, received the 2015 Shirley Jackson Award in the Edited Anthology category. It was published by Undertow Publi- cations, an independent press based in Pickering. “I am absolutely ecstatic,” said Michael Kelly of Undertow Publica- tions in a press release. He described Aickman’s Heirs as “an anthology of strange, weird tales by modern visionaries of weird fiction, in the milieu of Robert Aickman, the master of strange and ambiguous sto- ries.” The anthology is also a finalist for the British Fantasy Award and the World Fantasy Award. As well, one of the stories in the col- lection, Lynda E. Rucker’s The Dying Season, won the Shirley Jackson Award in the Short Fiction category. Shirley Jackson was an American author who died in 1965 and who has inspired writers including Stephen King. She is best known for her short story, The Lottery, and for The Haunt- ing of Hill House, a novel. Learn more about Undertow Publi- cations at www.undertowbooks.com. Food and much more at Taste of Ajax Food trucks, restaurants, breweries dishing up the goods Aug. 13 Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Take a bite out of Ajax on Aug. 13. Taste of Ajax returns to Rotary Park from noon to 8 p.m., featuring music, drink and a variety of food to tempt any palate. And if the seagulls start circling, there will even be birds of prey to keep them away courtesy of Take Flight Bird Con- trol in Bowmanville. “Taste of Ajax has the right taste, sounds and smells for all Durham to enjoy,” says Lon Harnish of the Ajax Rotary Club. The club presents the event with the Town of Ajax. And since Rotary got involved, what was once a fairly “sleepy event” in its first few years, when it was attached to the Ajax Waterfront Festi- val, has grown in popularity. Harnish says where it once attracted around 1,500 people, Taste of Ajax has averaged about 7,000 visitors in the last few years. He says the Rotary Club saw that Taste of Ajax had potential. Its growth in pop- ularity has been aided by the club’s use of social media and by extending the hours to 8 p.m. Food lovers have a lot of choices this year and that’s what organizers aim for. The Holy Grill food truck will be serv- ing up gourmet food with a twist, like Mums Butter Chicken Poutine and Green Chili Chicken Tacos. “This is one of the very first fully acces- sible food trucks,” Harnish says, noting the chef uses a wheelchair and they fea- ture Halal food. “He was there last year and his food is excellent.” Other food truck options include Sharr-key’s Gourmet Food, with authentic Island and Canadian fusion cuisine, and Hank Daddy’s Barbecue. Snackers haven’t been forgotten as Tiny Tom Donuts, Eat My Shortbread and Frantastic events smoothies and slurpies from Whitby are all coming. Also look for Ajax’s own The Mount Everest, creating Indian dishes, Slopes of Vesuvius Mobile Pizzeria, Drupa- tis Roti and Doubles and The Galley: Downhome Eatery and Pub. There are a variety of drinks to wash the food down, including Ajax’s Fal- con Brewing Company, setting up shop this fall in south Ajax. And enjoy bever- ages from Brock St. Brewing Company in Whitby, Mill St. Brewery, Brickworks Ciderhouse, Diamond Estates -- The Winery and Social Lite Vodka of Whitby. Circus lumberjack Tim Burr will amaze with his juggling and local favou- rites Too Drunk to Fish, Two for the Show and the Charles Street Band will be performing. Harnish, the Ajax Rotary Club’s direc- tor of fundraising, says the event is staffed by volunteers and is partly a fun- draiser. The Rotary Club gets the pro- ceeds from food and drink sales, which totalled about $7,000 last year, with all of it going back into the communi- ty to places such as Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, Herizon House and Joanne’s House. The Town of Ajax receives the sponsorship money, which pays the costs for the event, such as fencing and security. Rotary Park is off Lake Driveway in the southwest corner of Ajax at the lake. Check out www.tasteajax.com for the latest information. Ryan Pfeiffer/ Metroland Kevin Bhudri, owner of Sharr-key’s food truck, and Lon Harnish, event co-ordina- tor of Taste of Ajax. The event runs Aug. 13 from noon to 8 p.m. in Ajax’s Rotary Park. The event features food from local restaurants and food trucks in addition to live entertainment, a beer and wine garden, activities and more.

Altogether Now, a one-act comedy penned by Sunderland’s Graeme Powell, will be performed six times over two days at Town Hall 1873 as part of the first-ever festival that will see each version publicly critiqued. Participating groups include The Bore- lians, Durham Shoestring Performers, Act One School of Drama, Stouffville Theatre Company, Ajax Community Theatre and Markham Little Theatre. “It’s an amazing idea,” said Carey Nich- olson, who attended and participated in similar events in western Ontario in recent years. “I thought we need to do this in Durham because there’s such great theatre here.” Ms. Nicholson is the Theatre 3x60 liai- son for the production and the festival chairwoman is Velika Maxam. Liz Pask is the festival co-ordinator. Altogether Now features seven roles, for performers from their 20s to 70s, and runs about 40 minutes in length. After each show, workshop leader Lind- say Price will take 20 minutes and offer her feedback on each group’s perfor- mance. Other performers and the audi- ence are welcome to listen in. “Everyone learns everything in a very informal way and everyone gets the ben- efit from learning from each other’s suc- cesses and challenges,” said Ms. Nichol- son. “It should be intriguing and fascinat- ing (for the crowd) to watch theatre in the making. It’ll be a great way to introduce people to theatre.” It will also be a unique experience for Mr. Powell, who will get to see his vision construed in many different ways, added Ms. Nicholson. “There’s going to be a fascinating diver- sity of interpretation,” she said. “He’s going to know what works and what doesn’t by the time we get through with it.” The Borelians will get things started on Friday, Aug. 5 at 7:20 p.m., followed by the Durham Shoestring Performers. On Saturday, Aug. 6, the Act One School of Drama will start the day off at 9:25 a.m., followed by the Stouffville Theatre Com- pany (11 a.m.), Ajax Community Theatre (1:35 p.m.) and Markham Little Theatre (3:10 p.m.). There will be half-day passes available for $15 to see two performances either Friday evening, Saturday morning or Sat- urday afternoon. A full festival pass to see all six perfor- mances is $40. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Town Hall 1873 box office at 905-985-8181, visiting Town Hall 1873 at 302 Queen St., or online at www.townhall1873.ca.

But when her dream of competing again became a reality, the growing fears played a role in leaving them behind. “My main concern is Kaedance,” Holder said of her son, who turns three in October. “Knowing he’ll be at home will be good for me. Will it suck he’s not going to be there? Obviously. And my parents. But I’d rather be able to come home and share the moment with them.” Like Holder, Hughes had expected to have at least his parents, Paul and Kelly, at the Olympic Stadium for his 3000m steeplechase events Aug. 15 and 17, and they had even purchased tickets to do so. But, as his Olympic debut inched clos- er and anxiety increased, he encouraged them to stay put in Oshawa. “I just want to go there and be 100 per cent focused on my race and not worry about what’s going on with family and friends,” said Hughes, 27, who had two friends pick-pocketed within 48 hours of going to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup. “I told my parents if they really want- ed to be there they could come, but I just didn’t really feel comfortable with them coming and then me having half my mental energy worrying if they’re all right.” Pereira was the lone athlete inter- viewed who expressed few to no fears, in part because his family is well travelled, having moved from India to Canada when he was a young boy. When he plays his first Olympic match on Aug. 6 against Germany, he’s proud to say his parents, Reginald and Colleen, and brother Kevin will be there to share the moment. “It’s not something that they would even think about missing really,” said Pereira, 24, who went to high school in Ajax. “It’s a slight worry, but even at that, it’s not at the level where my parents would ever think about pulling out.” Taylor-Chase, who like Pereira went to Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, will also have some parental support in Brazil when she competes beginning Aug. 15, but only her mom. She admit- ted she does have some trepidation and isn’t disappointed that her father, Rob- ert Taylor, chose to stay behind. “I’m a little worried that my mom is going because she’s coming by herself and I’m kind of protective, but I’m sure she’ll be OK,” said Taylor-Chase, who turns 23 on Aug. 6. “It’s not possible for him (her dad), but also the Zika virus and all that stuff did play a role in that decision, which is OK. I’d rather him be protected at home than be exposed in Brazil.” Chapman, a 27-year-old from Cour- tice, said the biggest factor in her family not attending was the expense involved, especially considering the Canadian soccer team could compete from Aug. 3 through to Aug. 19. Like all of the athletes, she has taken the necessary vaccinations and precau- tions, and feels well protected by the Canadian Olympic Committee. “I didn’t really have any concerns coming in and no concern now,” said Chapman, who has been in Rio for over a week and is pleased with what she has seen of the athletes’ village. “I know there’s the Zika concerns, but I’m not really concerned about that because on the coast there aren’t really that many mosquitoes. I haven’t seen a mosquito yet to be honest,” she added. “With the security concerns, everything is on lockdown in Brazil. It’s very tight security.” Safety measure extend beyond the human athletes in Phoenix’s sport of eventing, and she’s happy to report that her horse, A Little Romance, will be drinking filtered water and get shielded as much as possible from mosquitoes and other bugs. More than anything, she wants to get to back in the saddle Aug. 6 and help Canada win a medal. “We all know that there’s a lot of issues going on in Brazil right now, but I feel that the Canadian Olympic Committee has done a good job of preparing us for where we’re heading and I think as ath- letes we feel very safe going,” she said. “I’m just really looking forward to getting there and competing for our country.” Editor’s note: Reached just before press time, Brooklin mountain biker Emily Batty and Whitby judoka Kelita Zupanic both said they had family join- ing them in Rio. Batty will be accompa- nied by her parents, sister and husband, who is also her coach, while Zupancic will be cheered on by 14 of her family and friends.

Finishing up her third tour of duty on Ontario’s U18 squad at the Canadian Junior Nationals in Brampton July 27 to 30, Kayla Sliz, 18, will be resting for about a week before heading to the U.S. on an athletic scholarship in women’s field hockey to the University of New Hamp- shire (Durham, NH). She leaves for the U.S. on Aug. 8 before diving headlong into studies as well as field hockey, with the first exhibition game for the Wildcats on Aug. 16. The America East Conference season begins in early September. The Ajax High School grad said she can’t wait for her college career to begin. “I’m extra excited, a little nervous but mostly excited,” said Sliz, who’ll play the midfield position on the field for the Wildcats, while off the field she’ll carry a double major of sports studies and psy- chology. In narrowing down her choices for an athletic scholarship, Sliz also visit- ed UMass (University of Massachusetts) Lowell in Boston before making her decision to attend the University of New Hampshire. “Also went to UMass Lowell in Boston, but the University of New Hampshire was the best place for me. They have a very talented team. When I went down there to the university, the girls on the team were very welcoming and made me feel wanted and accepted. It’s a beautiful campus by the ocean,” she noted. Having played ice hockey for seven years prior to attending Ajax High School, she remembers hearing about tryouts for field hockey and wanted to give it a try. “I said ‘sure, that would be cool’.” By Grade 10, playing field hockey became her passion. She took the next step to begin training with the A & C Field Hockey Academy in Brampton and made the U16 Ontario Team that went on to win Nationals in 2014 in Vancouver. The following year she played on the U18 Ontario Team to again win nation- als in Vancouver in 2015. At nationals, Sliz was tapped to attend a junior devel- opment test camp after which she was named to the National Field Hockey Junior Development Squad consisting of 33 U21 field hockey players across Cana- da who attended high-performance train- ing in their province. In December of 2015 she was contacted by Stephanie Andrews, the Junior Nation- al coach, to attend the senior women’s national Test Camp in Vancouver so they could assess her skills at a higher level of play. After the camp she was invited to travel to Chile in January 2016 to train for 17 days with 20 other U21 players with the hope of being named to the Junior National Team that would be travelling to Trinidad to compete in the Junior Nation- al Pan Am Games in March/April 2016. She was selected from the reserve list two weeks prior to the Games and became one of 18 U21 players who competed for Canada in Trinidad this past spring. They placed fourth, which was not enough to qualify for the Field Hockey Junior World Cup in Chile this fall. Although the sport is played predomi- nantly by women, Sliz said field hockey is beginning make some inroads in attract- ing more players to the sport. At the A & C Field Hockey Academy, the player base there has expanded in the past four years. “I see a lot of younger girls at the club with a lot of talent who are in Grade 7 and 8. It’s great to see so many young players coming into the sport and improving so quickly,” she said. Ajax athlete scores field hockey scholarship Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland AJAX -- Kayla Sliz played on the U18 Ontario team in the nationals in Brampton from July 27-30, where they lost in the finals to B.C. She will be leaving for the University of New Hampshire this coming semester on a scholarship. Coach Derek Keenan confident Major Series Lacrosse team has what it takes to win Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com WHITBY — Derek Keenan believes the Brooklin Redmen are set up well to win a championship this summer, and few know better than he how to reach such lofty lacrosse heights. As head coach and general manager of the Saskatchewan Rush, the 55-year-old Oshawa resident has led that franchise to National Lacrosse League titles each of the past two years. As head coach of the Whitby Warriors Jr. A team, he guided that team to a pair of Minto Cup national championship, in 2011 and 2103. So when he joined the coaching staff of the Redmen this year, he did so with one thing in mind: to help the team win its eighth Mann Cup and first in 16 years, the perfect celebration of the senior lacrosse team’s 50th anniversary. Keenan has joined forces with Wayne Colley, the coach and GM the past many years and with whom he won three Mann Cups himself in the 1980s. Keenan’s familiarity with so many of today’s players has played a large role in assembling the best roster in years for the Redmen, including six from the Rush and a remarkable 15 he’s coached with the War- riors. Now that the playoffs are here — the Red- men opened the semifinals at home against the Six Nations Chiefs last night — Keenan is confident the team will put it all together. “We’ll be really close to having what I think is our A lineup,” said Keenan, noting that attendance is often spotty during the Major Series Lacrosse regular season. “We seem to be building a little bit more chem- istry and flow on offence of late, hopeful- ly we can continue to build on that, and I think our defensive group is as good as any- body in the league when we have every- body there.” The deadline acquisition of Chris Cor- beil, who is captain of the Rush, and Kyle Rubisch did much more than anchor the defence with two of the best in the world, said Keenan. The two have obviously helped the team on the floor — they’ve won back-to-back NLL championships and gold medals with Canada at the indoor world championships — but they’ve also rein- forced a mentality. “I think we really sent a message to the group that when you bring guys in like that, we’re obviously here to win a Mann Cup,” Keenan said. “It’s not going to be easy, but they’re certainly going to make a big, big difference for us.” If the Redmen are going to be able to interrupt the recent dominance of Six Nations and Peterborough, they will like- ly need a bigger contribution from NLL superstar Mark Matthews, who scored only seven goals in 10 games after finally joining the team five years removed from junior. Other commitments have limited the availability of Matthews, who has also struggled with the smaller nets and tighter checking of the summer game. But, based on his experience coach- ing him in junior and in pro, Keenan fully expects to see a different player in the days ahead. “I’ve known Mark long enough to know that when it’s crunch time, he’s going to be your best player,” Keenan said of the 26-year-old Oshawa native. “He’s proven that time and time again at every level.” The Redmen wrapped up a 12-5-1 regu- lar season, good for second place behind Peterborough, with a 9-6 win over the Oakville Rock Wednesday, July 27 at Iro- quois Park. 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 4 , 2 0 1 6 29 AP LIVE RACING -MAy to oCtobER off-tRACk WAGERING ~ALL yEAR ‘RouNd’ 50 Alexander’s Crossing,Ajax ON •905.686.8001 for complete details go to www.ajaxdowns.com Watch for our Great Summer Event Line Up August Events Aug 7th –Craft brewery day –Brock St Brewery,Cameron’s Brewery,Bobcaygeon Brewing Co.,Flying Monkeys Brewing Co.,Lake Wilcox Brewing Co.,Henderson’s Brewing Co.

Registered dietitians are nutrition special- ists who counsel and support clients to make changes in their eating habits to promote health, including enhancing sports perfor- mance. They are researchers who discover new and better ways to enhance patient care and promote health. They are health care professionals who have earned a bachelor’s degree specializing in food and nutrition and have completed supervised practical training through a uni- versity program or an approved hospital or community setting; And, they must be registered with provin- cial regulatory bodies and are the only pro- fessionals who can use the titles registered dietitian, professional dietitian and dietitian, which are protected by law. Look for the letters RD, P.Dt. or D.Pt. after the name, indicating that the person is a reg- istered member of the profession. For more information, contact the College of Dieti- tians of Ontario. The terms nutritionist, registered nutri- tionist or certified nutritionist are not pro- tected or regulated terms in Ontario. This means that anybody can call themselves a nutritionist and there are no standards for their quality of care. A sports dietitian may have additional qualifications, including a university educa- tion in human kinetics/exercise physiology and clinical nutrition/dietetics, and exten- sive experience working with athletes in many sports. To help an athlete reach peak perfor- mance, sports dietitians help athletes plan: adequate energy and nutrients from food; enough fluids and electrolytes to stay hydrated; the right balance of nutrients from foods and supplements; energy intake to support optimal body function and com- position; what to eat and drink before, dur- ing, and after exercise; carbohydrate, protein and fat intakes for improved performance and improve recovery time. For reliable sports nutrition information check out: dietitians.ca, the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario, Sports Dietitians Australia, and the Coaching Association of Canada. Andrea Miller is a consulting registered dietician who emphasizes that healthy eating should be good, nourishing and delicious.
