Refurbishing the four reactors at the nuclear generating sta- tion is a $12.8-billion project that will involve thousands of workers and will extend the life of the facility for 30 years. The work is being done just as the Pickering station is reach- ing the end of its life. Even with Pickering set to fully close in 2024, nuclear will remain an important part of the mix in Ontario when it comes to hydro generation. In 2013, about 56 per cent of electricity generated in Ontario came from nuclear power, according to the Ministry of Energy. By 2032, the number should drop to 39 per cent. That gap should be primarily filed with more conservation and an increase in the amount of power from wind turbines. Despite the drop, “Nuclear is a significant part of the mix,” said Andrew Pietrewicz, the director of resource integration for the Independent Electricity System Operator, the provin- cial agency charged with ensuring there is sufficient electric- ity.

Refurbishment work at OPG’s Darlington nuclear plant is expected to continue until 2026 involving thousands of workers and mil- lions of dollars. 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 1 1 , 2 0 1 6 2 AP kia.ca/summerofsavings Offer Ends Aug 2ndOFFICIALPARTNER Where Family Makes The Difference Bessada kia Where Family MakestheDifference SUMMER OF SAVINGS SALES EVENT 2016 5-Star Safety Ratings MoreStars.SaferCars.

Stephen King’s ‘It’ just one of several Durham film productions this year Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- While set construction of a haunted house for a production of Ste- phen King’s ‘It’ draws public attention in Oshawa, it’s by no means the only film production in Oshawa in recent months. The structure, at the corner of James and Eulalie Streets in Oshawa, is a set for a Warner Brothers film production. Over the past four weeks a crew has been busy on the formerly vacant lot at the dead end of James Street constructing the set, a dilapi- dated old house that looks distinctly eerie, even in daylight. The production is one of a half dozen to draw filming permits in Oshawa this year, adding to 16 last year. Mary Cousineau, business intelligence coordinator for Oshawa’s economic devel- opment department, believes there could be a number of reasons Oshawa draws film productions. There’s settings like the popular Park- wood Estate as well as an urban down- town. There are other unique buildings and settings as well she said. Filmmakers are also generally drawn by the low Cana- dian dollar, Oshawa’s proximity to the Toronto film hub, the availability of pay- duty officers and state-of-the-art recre- ation facilities. Filming permits are issued at no cost and are required for filming in public spaces, but not on private property. However, a permit would be issued if the film produc- tion required off-site parking, intermittent traffic stoppages or sidewalk closures, etc. In addition to Parkwood, popular filming locations include the Oshawa Civic Cen- tre, UOIT, Lakeridge Health, Downtown Oshawa, local business as well as residen- tial homes and streets. Justin Greaves / Metroland OSHAWA – James Street in Oshawa is closed to local traffic only for the construction of a haunted house that will be used in Stephen King’s movie It. Filming is scheduled to start in mid-August. Oshawa film permits issued in 2016: • Stephen King’s IT - feature film • American Gothic - TV series • Incorporated - TV series • Various Commercials • The Expanse - TV series • Future Legends - TV series • Miss Sloane - feature film • Various student films Oshawa film permits issued in 2015: • Hemlock Grove - TV series • Hannibal - TV series • Rogers TV - TV series • Heroes Reborn - TV series • Shadowhunters - TV series • Matthew Good Band - music video • Game of Homes - TV series • Incorporated - TV series • 12 Monkeys - TV series • 22 Chaser - feature film • Under Armour Apparel - commercial • Various student films Film production 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 1 1 , 2 0 1 6 4 AP 172 Harwood A Suite 101,Ajax (located in the Ajax Plaza) 905-683-1391 •Dental Treatments for the whole family. •Digital X-Rays,Intra Oral Camera •Cosmetic Dentistry,Wisdom Teeth,Surgery, Dental Implants •Flexible Payment Options •TV’s in all rooms DentAl CAre for ADultS,KiDS AnD GreAt BiG BABieS.Understanding Your Needs Since 1997!

Group chants ‘What do we want? Product. Where do we want it? Oshawa’ at protest Tara Hatherly newsroom@durhamregion.com TORONTO -- General Motors employees from Oshawa staged a rally at the Sher- aton Centre Hotel in downtown Toronto on Wednesday, Aug. 10. Together with their union, Unifor Local 222, the workers formed a group called GM Oshawa Matters to voice concerns that no new products have been desig- nated for GM’s Oshawa plant, which is in danger of closing if it doesn’t get new vehicles to build. “What do we want? Product. Where do we want it? Oshawa,” group mem- bers chanted on the sidewalk outside the Sheraton, holding banners reading “Keep good jobs in Canada” and “GM moving to Mexico/China.” Formal contract negotiations between the Oshawa workers and GM started Wednesday at the Sheraton. The union doesn’t want to accept a new contract until more product is promised for the Oshawa plant, but GM said a contract must be finalized before it will consider giving the plant more work. “These are perhaps the most impor- tant auto contract talks in a generation,” said Unifor national president Jerry Dias in a press release. “There will be no deals with any of the companies without com- mitments from each of them for invest- ments in Canada.” The union begins contract talks with Ford and Fiat Chrysler Canada Thursday, Aug. 11 at the Sheraton. Contracts with all three companies expire at 11:59 p.m. Monday, September 19. Unifor has said its workers are ready to strike if new Canadian investments are not secured by then.

Oshawa man faces attempted murder charge in Peterborough stabbing DURHAM -- Police in Peterborough have charged an Oshawa man with attempted murder for a stabbing that occurred last year. An investigation was launched after two suspects approached and stabbed a man as he walked with his girlfriend and child near downtown Peterborough in April 2015, police said. The victim made his way to a nearby residence before being taken to hospital. Cops identified a suspect and issued a warrant for his arrest a month after the incident. On Tuesday, Aug. 9 , a man was arrested while in custody at the Peter- borough courthouse on another charge. Darnell Lloyd McFarlane, 29, of Trow- bridge Court, Oshawa, is charged with attempted murder. Pickering shooting victim recovering, Durham cops seek potential witnesses PICKERING -- Police are appealing for witnesses to step forward as they contin- ue their investigation into the shooting of a man last month in Pickering. The 27-year-old man wounded in the July 26 incident continues to recover in hospital, Durham police said Wednes- day, Aug. 9.

It can affect your sleep, your marriage and your job. It may come and go and even make your arm or hands weak at times. Maybe you’ve even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your neck hurts and the pain just won’t go away! IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE READ THIS The following conditions can be caused by a problem in your neck… • Carpal tunnel syndrome • Numbness and tingling in the arms • Cervical disc bulging and herniations • Weakness in the arms/hands • Neck Pain • Headaches • Tension in the shoulders • Shoulder and arm pain Most people reach for the strongest pain pill available to alleviate their neck pain. While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include dangerous pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants - all of which have serious side effects. There could be a more natural, drugless solution to your back pain or sciatica problem. Why Getting a New Pillow Won’t Help I often get asked if getting a new pillow will help with a patient’s neck pain. While it can provide some temporary comfort, a new pillow cannot fix any underlying joint problems and degeneration that has occurred in your spine. In addition, some people choose the wrong pillow for their neck and actually cause more harm than good. So if you’re going to get a new pillow it should be one that’s recommended by a specialist who’s examined your neck. “Will This Really Work For Me?” My name is Dr. Clay Kosinko, owner of Health First Family Chiropractic in Ajax. I understand what it feels like to live in neck pain, because I see it every day. I’ve seen hundreds of people with neck problems and headaches leave the office pain free. Here’s what just a few chiropractic patients had to say... “I have had pain and discomfort in my neck years and I’ve tried everything, but nothing was helping. I was skeptical of chiropractic care but the results are remarkable.”- Mary-Pickering “Since care I am feeling much better and much less aware of head/temple pain. I haven’t had to take pain pills since starting care.”- Alison-Ajax “After Receiving Chiropractic care, I feel wonderful. I ran upstairs for the first time in years. I walked in a mall without pain.”- Pamela-Ajax The 9 Most Dangerous Words A Person With Neck Pain Can Say… “Maybe it will just go away on its own.” The fact is most problems only get worse over time unless you correct them. Even if the pain goes away temporarily, it will come back...and usually it’s worse!

Investigation into theft of utility box batteries leads to charges Two Oshawa men face theft and possession of stolen property charges DURHAM -- Two men have been charged after a two-month investigation into the theft of batteries from neighbourhood utility boxes. It’s estimated the batteries, which provided back-up power for telecommunication utility boxes, were worth $50,000, but were sold for much less than that as scrap metal, Durham police said. No TV or Internet services were interrupted as a result of the thefts, police said. During the investigation, dubbed Project Phoenix, police determined that suspects were identifying and breaking into utility boxes, then stealing batteries, valued at about $2,000, from them. It’s alleged the thieves broke into 25 such boxes, primarily in Oshawa and Clarington. Two suspects were arrested Aug. 4 at a recycling depot in Whitby. Christopher Kyc, 39, of King Street East, Oshawa and 19-year-old Logan Deon, of Taunton Road East, Oshawa, are charged with theft and possession of stolen property. 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 1 1 , 2 0 1 6 8 P Located in Pic ering for 20 years Clean & Friendly environment.

A couple of nights ago everything seemed so perfect. The air was still and the sound was silence. Even the darkness that sur- rounded me like a blanket seemed com- forting. A cool breeze would intermittently whisper itself past my face, refreshing it. For the evening I chose the Syrah grape which I personally have dubbed ‘The Philosophical Grape’ since it always seems to be my choice in pensive moments. Immediately pleasing with lots of fruit and spice, it complements my lone reflections. I took a sip of the J. Lohr, South Ridge Syrah from Paso Robles (Vintages #948240, $22.95). The taste was rich, juicy and refreshing at the same time. I always cool my red wine via 10 min- utes in a 50 per cent ice/water mix. This cooling makes the wine sharper to the taste and far more refreshing than present room temperature. Most do not realize that ‘room temper- ature’ today at around 22 degrees Cen- tigrade is far warmer than the 16 to 19 degrees of the past when the term was first coined. The Lohr went down nicely and I thought of other special Syrahs that I had experienced. Important decisions were made under the ‘watchful evening sip’ of a Fess Park- er Rodney’s Vineyard Syrah (Vintages #232546, $39.95) from Los Olivos (Santa Ynez Valley, California). A powerful, multi-dimensional wine, it fulfilled all aspects of what a ‘perfect’ wine should entail -- strength, charac- ter, evolution and integrity rolled into a muscular red wine which does not ‘bully’ its way into one’s senses but eased itself into one’s past reflections and present thoughts. Also from Los Olivos is a wine called Bernat Syrah from a four-acre organic vineyard owned by the Los Olivos Wine Merchant and Café. Dark in colour with black cherry, ripe blackberry, smoke, coffee and anise the wine was superb. Syrah, or Shiraz, is a product of many countries. I prefer the warm climate ver- sion. The South African Porcupine Ridge Syrah (Vintages #595280, $14.95) is reasonably priced with black cherry, black berry, vanilla spice and pepper flavours. The inexpensive Sicilian Cusumano Syrah (LCBO #145490, $11.10) with red and black fruit, spice and cedar wood is smooth and full bodied. Both wines would go very well with grilled meat. Syrah has always been my favourite grape variety and for those wishing a nice drinking wine for a warm summer’s eve try a Syrah. -- Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with over 35 years of experience in the wine industry, and is a member of the Wine Writers’ Circle of Canada.

The gun was fired at the Islamic Centre of Oshawa on Thursday, July 21 at about 9:15 p.m. The incident happened when worshippers, including several children, were outside and near where the pellets hit. No injuries were sustained in the attack. But a unique arched glass window at the entrance to the building was heavily damaged. Similar damage has also been caused to other parts of the building over the course of the last month, centre direc- tor Siraj Patel said. This attack comes after similar inci- dents in Ontario, the most notable in Peterborough in November of last year when a mosque there was deliberate- ly set ablaze. In Kitchener, rocks were thrown through the windows of a Hindu temple. A similar incident happened at the Pickering Islamic Centre on Brock Road in September 2014. In that incident, someone using a high-powered BB gun or pellet gun shot out a window in the front of the centre while worshippers were inside. Muslims have become the targets of racists and are facing heightened acts of discrimination, hatred and intolerance. These attacks are hate crimes. Since Sept. 11, 2001 when terrorists brought down the World Trade Center towers, Muslims have become targets. A narrow-minded minority of people actu- ally believe they are terrorists and the acts of ISIS feed that belief. A Muslim is a person who follows or practises the religion of Islam. It is one of the largest religions in the world, with more than one billion followers and it does not promote violence. The fact that radical terrorist groups skew the teach- ings of Islam in carrying out hateful acts around the world perpetuates the stereo- type that Muslims are terrorists. It’s utter nonsense akin to believing all Irish Cath- olics are members of the Irish Republi- can Army. Terrorism is terrorism. Do not confuse it with religion. To do so is wrong. Canada is a multicultural society, a country that embraces diversity and is tol- erant of all religions, customs and beliefs. Look at the number of cultural festivals taking place in Toronto and around the GTA this summer. We embrace and cel- ebrate our differences. Unfortunately isolated incidents, like the one at the Islamic Centre of Oshawa, prove there are those in Durham who’d rather spread fear and divisiveness. That’s unfortunate. A police investigation is currently ongo- ing into the BB gun shooting and hope- fully the coward or cowards responsible for this crime are brought to justice. our opinion Acts of violence against Muslims should not be tolerated Ahoy! Floating the idea of owning a boat Is it just me or do there always seem to be very many more boats tied up at the dock, empty, than filled with people and on the water? We live near the lake and our dog walking often takes us down by the pier in town. Even on lovely warm summer days and evenings, it seems to me that most of that gleaming, fiberglass fun is moored and vacant. Why is that? I’ve heard the old adages regarding the folly of boat ownership. “The two best days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it” and “A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money”. But still, it must be a ton of fun. I’d love to own a boat, especially one of those big babies with the steering wheels up top. Do they even call them steering wheels? Isn’t there some kind of nautical word, like bilge or helm? Yeah, that’s it. I’d be up there at the ‘helm’. Wearing my helmet and belay- ing orders down to the bilge. Over the muscled roar of my twin- engined, stern-drive, inboard/out- board, cavitational starboard halyards, I’d shout down to my first mate to make fast the focsle and hand me up a cold mojito as I skillfully guided her into the channel, my ruggedly chiseled, sun- burnt face scanning the horizon for a school of Bonito ... just like Heming- way. As I write this, it occurs to me that there are, already, a couple of problems with this scenario. One, it is, of course, illegal, in this province, to consume alcohol while piloting a boat ... even if you are wearing a helmet and look like Hemingway and, two, my first mate would probably have to be Kathryn. And knowing her as I do, that arrange- ment would be prone to mutiny very quickly. She was raised on a boat. She knows the real names for stuff. She’d probably take my helmet, too. And then boating wouldn’t be nearly as much fun. If I’m being honest, I have too much Walter Mitty in me, really, to safely operate anything larger than a canoe or a bicycle. I’d love to ride a motorcycle and fly a plane too, but something tells me neither of those plans would end well. Both recreations require a great deal of focus, concentration and well, yes ... maturity. Which is where I draw the line. Maybe there are a lot of us Walter Mit- tys out there. That might explain all of the boats, bikes and planes sitting parked ... with no one at the helm. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column neil crone Enter Laughing 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 1 1 , 2 0 1 6 10 AP About one-third of the province’s electrical supply capacity comes from nuclear genera- tion and 60 per cent of all hydro, Mr. Pietre- wicz noted. “Over the next 15 or so years, Ontario will see 10 units undergo refurbishment. Four at Darlington and six at Bruce,” he said. “Prep- aration has been underway for several years for the refurbishment of Ontario’s nuclear reactors.” All the work needs to be fitted into a “fair- ly narrow window” as it has be co-ordinated between the IESO, Darlington and Bruce, he noted. “Refurbishments tend to happen in dif- ferent windows of time. Darlington will be sooner and Bruce tends to be later. We have to split up the refurbishment,” Mr. Pietrewicz said. “The focus on Darlington is early days and the focus on Bruce is later.” At Darlington, no more than two units will be out of service at any one time, he said. Jeff Lyash, the president and CEO of Ontar- io Power Generation, said Unit 2 is the first reactor to be worked on and “nominally, it’s a 40-month schedule. The entire duration of all four units is 112 months.” While Unit 2 is out, no other unit will come offline. “There’s no overlapping. We want to com- plete it in its entirety before we take the next unit out of service. We’ll incorporate what we learned in the other units,” Mr. Lyash said, adding Unit 2 comes offline in October. With the three remaining units, there will be overlap. When the work on one unit is three-quarters complete, work can start on another unit, he said. As with any project, finishing the work on time and on budget is a challenge, Mr. Lyash admitted. “We acknowledge with any mega-project of any type, it’s very challenging,” he said. “Ones that are successful have a core set of reasons.” Unsuccessful ones are missing that core, he added. “The notion we haven’t been able to com- plete things on time isn’t true. That’s the per- ception,” Mr. Lyash noted. He pointed to the Lower Mattagami hydro- electric project in Northern Ontario that was completed on time and on budget of $2.6 bil- lion. Mr. Lyash is confident the work will be completed on time and on budget. “Any big project has its risks -- nuclear or non-nuclear. The degree of preparation that’s gone into this, I have a very strong confidence it will be on schedule and on budget, safely. And, with a level of quality that we demand,” he said. To prepare for the work, a life-sized mock- up of a reactor was built so workers could learn how to perform tasks. There was also testing and qualifying tools. The order in which the reactors will be refurbished is based on how long the inter- nal components have been in operation. The components in Unit 2 are the oldest, so it’s the first one to undergo work, he noted. OPG is planning on running the Pickering station longer. It was scheduled to shutdown in 2020, but the power is needed while the Darlington work is underway, he said. Two units at Pickering will come offline in 2022, while the remaining four will run to 2024. Mr. Lyash said it’s probably that Units 1 and 4 will be the most likely to be taken offline earliest. In its long-term energy plan, the Ener- gy Ministry noted, “Ontario is currently in a strong supply situation and has time to con- sider how to address future needs. Ontario is committing the resources to meet electricity demand growth that will be lower than antic- ipated as the economy continues its transi- tion to an efficient, lower-energy intensive future.” The plan noted the government wasn’t going ahead with building two new reactors next to Darlington, saying the energy wasn’t needed. CLARINGTON -- Ontario Power Generation invited the public to view its new Darlington Energy Complex, which includes a life-sized training model of a nuclear reactor face. The Province says the complex will help ensure Darlington’s refurbish- ment is successfully completed bringing thousands of jobs to the area.

On Sunday Aug. 7, at roughly 3 a.m., police say a man used a lad- der to climb through a second- floor window at a home located in the Waterford Street and Carnwith Drive East area of Whitby. Police said the intruder, wearing a face covering and body armour, pointed an imitation gun at two people sleeping in the room and told them he was a Durham police officer. The residents fled from the room to another bedroom where two other residents were sleeping. The man followed them but the victims were able to get outside and yell for help. Two male residents were ulti- mately able to subdue the intruder and make a citizen’s arrest. Police say it was not a random incident and a man was taken into custody and treated at the hospital for injuries he sustained when he was taken down by the residents. Kevin McCarthy, 26, of Cedar Street in Oshawa, is charged with breaking and entering, using an imitation firearm to commit an offence, possessing a dangerous weapon, impersonating a peace officer, disguising himself with intent to commit a crime, four counts of pointing a firearm, four counts of forcible confinement and five counts of failing to comply with recognizance. Anyone with any new informa- tion should contact Det.-Const. Peacocke of the Central West Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1853.

PICKERINGTOWNCENTRE Lower Level Centre Cour t 2016 Nighthawks will soon be heading south for the winter Almost hate to say it -- since I love the long hours of summer daylight so much! -- but it’s time to start watching the skies again. South- bound migrants will be flying past any day now, first ripples in a flood of birds exiting Ontario come fall. As soon as their babies fledge and learn a few life lessons, some spe- cies are out of here. Starting with insect eat- ers that scoop up their prey in mid-air, such as swallows, swifts and purple martins. And nighthawks. Common nighthawks don’t, in fact, ‘hawk’ at night as much as in the dim light of dawn and dusk. They’re twilight specialists, seen circling over forests and cities, chasing fly- ing ants, beetles and other winged prey. On hot summer evenings, they’re sometimes spotted in the bright lights above ball fields, much larger than bats, with slim, long, bent- back wings that power their bounding flight. The white patch in each wing of these cryptic brown birds is a good field mark. Males on breeding territory frequently call in flight, their sharp, buzzy ‘peent’ loud enough to draw the attention of anyone below. And when they dive steeply toward earth and pull up again, a typical night- hawk display, their wings make a whoosh- ing, booming sound almost like a train racing past. Nighthawks are rarely seen up close, being so well camouflaged on the open ground where they nest and roost -- in rocky barrens, forest burns, clear-cuts and sparse grass- lands. When humans started constructing buildings with flat graveled roofs, nighthawks moved into the city to nest, drawn by urban insects. I was delighted to hear, then see two circling above the Danforth in Toronto last week. Still breeding fairly successfully on the sandy flats of Ganaraska, they’ve plummeted in numbers elsewhere in Durham. Once up to seven pairs would nest on the gravel roof of the GM truck plant in Oshawa, according to Rayfield Pye, operator of the local birding hotline. This summer he heard one night- hawk in Oshawa, one night. They seem to be doing better in industrialized south Whitby, where they’ve been feeding nightly over the Thickson’s Woods Nature Reserve. Rubberized roofs replacing gravel ones, predation from domestic cats, crows and ring-billed gulls, and far fewer aerial insects due to pesticide use have made nighthawks a species at risk these days. Nighthawks migrate by day, in flocks of 30 or more, most passing through Durham skies the last two weeks of August. By late Septem- ber, some will be arriving in southern South America, completing one of the longest migrations on the planet.

Many are still ask- ing where their mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends have gone. And it’s a cry that’s only increased over time. Imagine losing any one of these invaluable people in our lives to violence and getting what appears to be little or no answers as to what actually occurred. Many of the family and friends left behind aren’t looking to get their loved ones back. They’ve resigned themselves to the fact that they’re gone – suddenly snatched from their lives without a trace. But what’s at stake here is adding insult to inju- ry. We all need to know that others care and the Federal Liberals have tapped into the cry of a neglected part of the population. The inquiry is more symbolic than anything. It says: You are heard. You are valued. We will lis- ten. We will act or in other words, we take you and your loved ones to heart. And a government that doesn’t show that it takes people to heart will soon lose the people because democracies are about the people. We’re not in a theocracy or a dictatorship, so the people must always be kept in mind, with their pulse being taken regularly. That said, the story of these Indigenous women and girls is not a national story. The national news may pick it up for a few days. But until the Indig- enous story becomes Canada’s story and Canada’s story becomes the Indigenous story, we will con- tinue to speak and act from two different narra- tives, accomplishing very little. So while this step that the Liberals have taken is commendable, I’m looking for a Prime Minister who will tell me why this is my story; why I should have a vested interest in the Indigenous people, why they should have a vested interest in me, and why our story of living together in Canada matters just as much if not more than the economy, jobs, education and health care. Because the real infrastructure that holds every- thing together is authentic, working relationships that both parties are actively involved in building and maintaining not just coming together when issues become crises. If we hear it, we might believe it and if we believe it, we might stand against the things that we would never stand for if it were happening to non-Indigenous Canadians. -- Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is a communicator of truth.

The professional breakdancer, or b-boy, who has lived in Ajax for rough- ly four years, is off to the Red Bull BC One World Finals in Japan in December, where he’ll be matching moves against the best in the world. “It’s been a dream of mine to compete in the world finals,” he says. “Red Bull is definitely one of the prestigious competitions everybody strives to be in.” A world-class b-boy who says he has won roughly 60 dance battles, Put is aiming to win one a month this year and is halfway there, with victo- ries in events held in Toronto and the US. He’s a member of the Lionz of Zion crew in Washington, D.C. and of Ground Illusionz in Toron- to. Put, who’s 24 and has been dancing for half of his life, describes his style as “creative flow” and “complex threading.” Put’s brother was a breakdancer and he got into it as he “just wanted to fit in.” He learned a lot watching YouTube tutorials and was mesmerized from the start. “The competition, the audience was really into it,” he says. “The level of competition was, like, high.” He entered his first event in 2008, finishing in second place. Since then he has travelled all over the world, dancing and battling. Put says he has around 30 signature moves and, while breaking is a competitive sport, it’s also an art form. “I get inspiration from different things, depending on the mood,” he says. “That’s the other side to the dance people don’t see.” In a battle, the b-boy doesn’t know what song he’s dancing to and there’s no time clock. Put practices five or six times a week, often for three or four hours at a stretch. It’s tough to work it into his schedule, as he attends Avola College Of Hairstyling And Esthetics in Toronto three days a week and works on the other four days. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, he’s in school from morning to well into the night, often heading to the YMCA to practice from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. As for his name, Put says “there’s no story”: He just thought ‘Ill’ sounded very “hip hop. “I thought of that name in Grade 7; it never left me,” Put says.

The Brooklin singer/songwriter released a new single, We Don’t Mix. It’s about a new relationship where the two people don’t have an instant spark or connection. For the lyric video, Broughton used social media to ask fans to send her examples of things that don’t go well together, using the hashtag #WeDontMix. And they respond- ed. “Tonnes and tonnes of input from the time I tweeted it to the last day,” she laughs. “It was pretty awesome to see the out- reach.” Some of her favourites? Sleeping pills and laxatives. The Leafs and the playoffs. Broughton says she was unsure about including some of them -- like that last one. The new record, her second full-length, dropping this fall, is a mix of rock, pop and country songs. She comes by the rock part honestly, as she started out in a rock band. The feel of the record will be “like nothing I’ve ever made before.” Not party tunes but songs you can “have a drink on your porch and listen to. “I really, really wanted to write songs that translated to my live show and were fun to listen to,” she says. Broughton did a lot of the writing for the new record, noting performing is a bit “like acting.” “I really have to be in love with the songs, believe in the songs that I play,” she says. She’s on radio tours promoting the sin- gle and has been playing some of the new material at gigs. It’s a busy summer for Broughton, who did a radio tour in Ontar- io. On July 23 she was in Edmonton for the kick-off party for the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, which she played. And then it was back to Ontario for this weekend’s Boots and Hearts Music Festival in Oro- Medonte north of Barrie. “I’m so excited to go back,” Broughton said before Boots and Hearts, noting she played the 2012 and 2013 festivals, the first two, when the event was held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Clarington. “This is my first time at the new location. I’m excited to see the set-up.” She likes that it’s close enough for friends and family to go. And she’s a much more seasoned artist and performer since that first event, when Broughton had a gruelling performance schedule. Not that she’s com- plaining as the festival is great exposure for her. “I’ve had a lot of songs on the radio since the first Boots and Hearts,” Broughton says. And then it’s off to Eastern Canada for more radio tour dates. “Lots of travel, but it’s good to be busy,” she says. Visit lindsaybroughton.com and follow her on twitter @LindsBroughton.

These traumatic personal experiences have a tendency to cause major decre- ments in one’s performance, training, motivation, concentration, confidence, emotional, social and physical control. Trust, faith and belief in oneself, others and the world may evaporate overnight. These personal tragedies may con- sist of a wide variety of major losses and catastrophic experiences. They have the power to change the complete life of the athlete. The following is just a sample of experi- ences that can have a devastating effect on the most prolific champions. Depression, anxiety, fear, panic attacks, heartbreak, concussion, serious physical injury, death of a parent, sib- ling, grandparent, uncle, aunt, cousin, coach, teacher, mentor, best friend, team member. Being cut from the team, being benched or constantly criticized by coaches, parents, or team members can take a huge toll over an extended period of time. If these personal invisible wounds are not addressed and healed soon, they have the power to destroy the athlete’s chances of recovery and success in the future, whether that be in sports or life. The psychological impact of concus- sions, serious physical injuries and cat- astrophic personal losses are consider- ably underestimated. Depression, anxiety, and panic attacks often follow concussions, major physical injuries and personal traumas as above for months and years. This psychological damage cannot be found easily. Often, the athlete is not even aware of what is affecting his or her performance. The following suggestions may help begin to put the athlete back on the right track. Monitor the performance, thinking, emotions, and performance of the ath- lete. Speak to the athlete about what is going on internally and try to be support- ive, not critical. Speak to a professional who is experienced and knowledgeable in these areas. Let the athlete know that you are concerned and think he needs help to overcome these physical and emotional injuries. Let the athlete know that emotional pain takes time, effort, patience, courage and expert help to heal and that leaving it to fester only makes the situation worse.

Pereira, who went to Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax, was recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee and wasn’t quite ready to return when the Canadian men’s field hockey team played on home soil last summer. Although disappointed at not being able to play so close to home before family and friends, especially consider- ing Canada won a silver medal, he knew there was a bigger picture and he wasn’t ready to risk shattering it. Pereira’s ultimate goal became a real- ity on July 7, when he was named to the 16-player squad for the Rio Olympics. “It’s something that I’ve worked towards my entire life, something that ever since I was 12, 13 I wanted to accomplish with the sport,” Pereira, now 24, explained before the tournament began. “It’s really fulfilling to finally be able to know that I’m going to Rio.” Although one of only three players from Ontario on a team that is dominat- ed by British Columbia talent, Pereira’s inclusion was never really in doubt so long as he was healthy. A forward who learned the game from his father, Reginald, Pereira had already been playing in his native India when he moved to Canada with the family as a young boy. After graduating from Notre Dame, he jetted off to the west coast to study at the University of British Colum- bia and join the national field hockey program. As an indication of his worth to the team, during a recent exhibition series against the United States in Vancouver, Pereira shared the team lead with seven goals as Canada swept all four games with their southern neighbours. Canada entered the 12-team Olympic tournament as the 15th ranked team in the world, lowest of any team other than host Brazil (30th). Although Pereira scorded the team’s first goal, the tournament has started out poorly for Canada, with losses of 6-2 to No. 3 Germany, 3-1 to No. 7 Argentina and 7-0 to No. 2 Netherlands. If the Canadians have any hope now of reaching the quarter-finals, they will likely need to beat both No. 12 Ireland Thursday, Aug. 11 at 10 a.m. and No. 5 India Friday, Aug. 12 at 11:30 a.m. “Our goal would be to make the quar- ter-final, and then really anything could happen,” Pereira said prior to the tour- nament. “We’re pretty confident that we can play any team well, and we’re pretty confident that we might be able to sneak out a win in the quarters and move on to the semis.” The quarter-finals are Sunday, Aug. 14, semifinals Tuesday, Aug. 16 and medal games Thursday, Aug. 18. Pereira entered Olympic play with more than 90 senior caps to his cred- it since making his international debut in 2009, against his native India, which was one of the proudest moments of his career. He was also part of the silver medal-winning team at the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, and helped Canada finish eighth at the FIH World League Final after returning from injury last year. With his younger brother, Kevin, being a goalkeeper on the national develop- ment team, his Olympic dreams do not end in Brazil. “Oh, for sure,” he said when asked if he could see himself playing alongside his brother. “Ideally, 2020 in Tokyo would be where I could see him kind of break through and get there. That would just be a dream come true for our family. My dad, especially, would be the proudest man in the world.” Photo by Blair Shier VANCOUVER -- Canada’s Keegan Pereira crashed the American goal area in a field hockey exhibition series in British Columbia. Pereira, who went to high school in Ajax, is playing for the Canadian team at the Rio Olympics. Whitby’s Kelita Zupancic comes up short of Olympic medal in judo RIO -- Whitby’s Kelita Zupancic won her first career Olympic match in judo on Wednesday, Aug. 10, but could advance no further and will come home from the 2016 Rio Games with- out a medal. Zupancic was one of eight who earned a bye through the first round of competition in the -70kg weight class and then defeated Georgia’s Esther Stam to reach the quarter-finals, where she lost in golden score to Japan’s Har- uka Tachimoto after four minutes of regulation time where no points were scored. Tachimoto earned 10 points for a waza-ari 26 seconds into the sudden- death extra time. Zupancic, 26, was eliminated from gold and silver medal contention at that point, but still had a shot at a bronze medal, entering the repechage against Austria’s Bernadette Graf. Graf, however, ended Zupancic’s day with a 10-1 victory. 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 1 1 , 2 0 1 6 34 AP Keepportablepropane cylindersoutofyour blue box.

Chanice Taylor-Chase of Ajax to compete in 400m hurdles, 4x400m relay at 2016 Rio Games Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com AJAX — It may just be the beginning of the Olympic journey for Ajax’s Chanice Taylor-Chase, but that doesn’t mean she has headed to Rio without high expecta- tions of herself. Although she just turned 23 a day after the Olympic opening ceremonies, and only gave the 400-metre hurdles a try at the urging of her university coaches a few years ago, she’s become good enough at the event quickly enough to dream of the podium. But, she knows she’ll have to be at her very best come Aug. 15, when round 1 of the 400m hurdles is held. “Going to Rio, I’m trying to stay focused and trying to make it through each round,” she said by phone from Texas, where she was training before heading to Brazil. “I’m hoping to get into the final and see what I can do. I want to have the race of my life.” Taylor-Chase was a versatile and domi- nate star on the track while at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax, and still holds the OFSAA provincial record for junior girls in the long jump. She was also a terrific runner at any- where from the 100m to 400m distanc- es. It was her club coach, Percy Marsh of Durham Legion Athletics, who first spot- ted her talent in the hurdles and, sure enough, she soon became excellent there as well. “It’s crazy because I started out as a long jumper and my coach told me I should try hurdles. I hated it at first, actu- ally,” she recalled. “I was really reluctant at first to try it, but I’m glad I did because it worked out well.” Taylor-Chase parlayed her talent into a scholarship at Louisiana State University, where she now has a semester remaining in her sport administration studies and is a two-time all-American. It was only there that she added the 400m hurdles to her repertoire, at the suggestion of coaches Dennis Shaver and Debbie Parris-Thymes. Since then, she’s competed at an elite level in both the 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles, in addition to anchoring the Lady Tigers’ 4x400m relay team. In a deep and impressive field, Chan- ice-Taylor qualified for Rio by finishing third in the 400m hurdles at the nation- al championships in Edmonton, in a time of 56.06, behind fellow Olympians Noelle Montcalm (55.83) and Sage Wat- son (55.88). She also finished sixth in the 100m hur- dles at the event, which doubles as the Olympic trials, but her time of 13.57 was well shy of both the Olympic standard (13.00) and her personal best (12.94). “Canada is always competitive in the hurdles, so it’s definitely a strong event for us,” said Taylor-Chase, who grew up watching local stars Perdita Felicien and Priscilla Lopes-Schlep. Taylor-Chase will also be part of Cana- da’s 4x400m relay team in Rio, an event that runs Aug. 19-20. “Even since I started running track, it was actually always my goal, even at a young age, to make the Olympic team,” she said, while adding she hopes to also compete at the 2020 Tokyo Games if not beyond. “For sure, I’m looking to keep going as long as I can. This is just the beginning for me.” Local athlete chasing Olympic medals I’m hoping to get into the final and see what I can do. I want to have the race of my life. Chanice Taylor-Chase “ Photo by Claus Andersen EDMONTON -- Chanice Taylor-Chase of Ajax qualified for the Rio 2016 Olympics in the 400-metre hurdles at the national championships in Edmonton. She will also compete on the 4x400m relay team. 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 1 1 , 2 0 1 6 35 P Kayla Sanchez brings home 14 medals from Calgary championships Tristan Garnett newsroom@durhamregion.com AJAX — Kayla Sanchez challenged herself on the way to an impressive performance at the Canadian Age Group Championships held at the Talisman Centre in Calgary from July 27 to Aug. 1. Swimming in three and sometimes even four races a day, more than any of her com- petitors, the former Ajax Swimming athlete strategically chose to push her body to new limits, in an attempt to improve her overall endurance. She knew the decision would most likely result in slower times, but wanted to use the event to prepare for an even a larger meet coming up later in August, the 2016 Junior Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, in Maui, Hawaii. Despite sacrificing speed, the 15-year-old completed the six-day competition with 14 medals in both individual and relay events, including seven gold, five silver and two bronze. “Going into the meet, I was unrested (and) unshaved,” said Sanchez. “I focused on rac- ing, race plans and kind of put times on the shelf … focused on how I wanted to actually execute. “As a whole, I’m very proud of how I did,” she added. “I was tired, I didn’t go best times for the most part. Thinking back at it, I just tried to do my best. I didn’t really expect much in terms of best times because I knew I would be fatigued and tired in a way.” Fatigue did not stop the now Markham Aquatic Club member from finishing all of her events, whereas, two years earlier at Age Groups, it nearly did. Competing in less races then, Sanchez says that physically she felt horrible nearing the end of that meet and strongly considered scratching her final race because she was worn out. This time, however, she was prepared for the gruelling effects her body would undergo, thanks to Robert Novak, her coach in Markham. Novak has had his young swimmer race as much as possible this season to also ensure that she builds more of a resume in the sport. Additionally, her competitive edge has helped the national team member persevere, an attitude which she developed while repre- senting Ajax Swimming from 2013 to 2015. “(Ajax Swimming) definitely has impacted me as a swimmer and an athlete … definitely made me tougher,” she explained. “It’s where I got my competitiveness from, definitely. “When I moved to (Ajax Swimming), it was basically the start of my swim career …. I was completely unaware about the swim- ming world. Didn’t know times, rankings. I moved to (Ajax Swimming) and my whole swimming career kind of unfolded right in front of me.” Sanchez and Novak will train in Toronto for the next couple of weeks, before heading to Victoria, B.C. for a staging camp with the national team ahead of the 2016 Junior Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, which run Aug. 24-27.

To make your burger even better, you can add on cheddar cheese, Canadian bacon and/or peameal bacon. Customers also love their famous steak on a Kaiser, homemade onion rings, French fries, sweet potato fries, homemade chicken souvlaki and The Big M chicken Caesar salad as well as the tasty Greek salad.
