Studies are showing that while genetics and other factors are linked to one’s overall health, where one lives also plays a key role. Shane MacDonald, Kristen Calis smacdonald@durhamregion.com, kcalis@durhamregion.com A community that is walkable, safe, close to amenities, has lots of green space, and allows for social interaction between residents is considered to be a healthy neigh- bourhood, and living in one may allow the residents to be healthier too. The idea that where you live affects your health has been grow- ing in popularity, according to Caroline Barakat-Haddad, an assistant professor in environmental and occupational health at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. The Durham Region health department has collected data from residents 18 years and older, asking them to report their self-rated health and created a map illustrating the percentage of people who rated their health as excellent or very good. It’s part of the Health Neighbourhoods study, which examines detailed information for 50 neighbourhoods in Durham, each with an average population of 12,000 people. The results show self-rated health tends to be lower in the downtown areas of urban municipalities, including five neigh- bourhoods in Oshawa and one in Clarington. Neighbourhoods in urban Uxbridge and Port Perry are among those with the highest self-rated health, along with others scattered across the Region.

With the event kicking off at 10 a.m., officials at the mall said job seekers started showing up just after 8:30 a.m. to meet reps from the 60 stores and res- taurants hiring. By mid-morning at least 500 people milled around. Oshawa’s Laura Sundal, an 18-year-old recent high school grad, was applying to several spots, including Forever 21. She said she’s hoping to land a job because she’s saving up for her post-sec- ondary education. “It’s pretty tough,” she said. “I’ve been looking for a job for the whole summer. As soon as I found out about this job fair, I thought it would give me a chance.” Naomi King, also of Oshawa, said she was looking for a part-time job. Also just wrapping up high school, Ms. King said she was hoping her experience in retail would come in handy. Though a bit nervous after speak- ing with her first employer of the day, Sephora, she said her goal was to proj- ect confidence when she speaks with employers. “I’m doing my best, hoping for the best and I hope they like me,” she said, add- ing that she too has been searching for a job through the summer. Oshawa Centre general manager Chris Keillor said he was thrilled by the turn- out. “I think we were expecting a good turnout, but this is great to see,” he said. “It shows the Oshawa Centre has a great connection to the community. When you can add 700 jobs to a community, it’s a great economic boost and it’s need- ed.” Through the renovation, the mall has added 260,000 square feet of space, bringing the total to 1.25 million square feet. Mr. Keillor said that represents a $230-million investment in the proper- ty. Geraldine Perusco is moving from the Markville Forever 21 to become the gen- eral manager of the Oshawa store. The Whitby resident said the store was looking to hire roughly 60 employees and expected store staffing to sit around 100 employees when the doors open in late September. Ms. Perusco said she was surprised and happy to see the turnout at the event and felt store would do well once it opens its doors. “The amount of people that are mov- ing here and the amount of homes being built, it’s prime real estate,” she said. Mr. Keillor pointed out that those who couldn’t make it out to the event still had a chance to apply for jobs at the mall, and suggested they check out the Wirkn app to apply. Mayor John Henry and development services chairman John Aker stopped by to check out the event on Saturday morning. “The energy in this mall at this job fair is equivalent to the energy you see here at Christmas time,” said the mayor. Hundreds of Durham job seekers line up for shot at as many as 700 positions Justin Greaves / Metroland OSHAWA -- The Oshawa Centre is just completing a $230-million renovation. As a result, almost 60 new and existing businesses participated in a job fair Aug. 13, look- ing to hire up to 700 full and part-time employees. 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 8 , 2 0 1 6 4 AP If Traditional FuneralsAren’t For You…$1,687 Total Price www.ajaxcremations.ca Cremation with no embalming,funeral or expensive casket!

The driver of a Ford pick-up was attempting to pass another vehicle on a hill on Steeles Avenue when the crash occurred at about 2:50 a.m. Aug. 14, Toronto police said. The pickup truck slammed head-on into an oncoming Honda Civic, which in turn collided with the other car, police said. The driver of the Honda, a 23-year-old woman whose name was not released, was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in the car sustained non life- threatening injuries. The driver of the pick-up, a Whitby man, was treated at hospital. Police announced the charges against him Wednesday. Leroy Coore, 57, of Whitby faces eight charges including impaired driv- ing causing death and impaired driv- ing causing bodily harm, criminal neg- ligence causing death and refusing to provide a breath sample. 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 8 , 2 0 1 6 5 P August 14 – September 13 • Every Sunday to Tuesday Must be 19 years of age or older.

No one was injured during the incident, at a home on Carr Drive at about 8:20 p.m. Aug. 14, Durham police said. Two men entered the house and con- fronted occupants with a large knife, police said. They made off with a game console, cellphones and a quantity of liquor. Both suspects are described as black men in their early 20s. One, about six feet tall, wore black clothing with a bandana over his face. The second man, about five feet 10, wore black pants and a black hood- ie.

Content is protected by copyright. Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 Each year, as we head into the sum- mer season, many of us hope for hot, beautiful, sunny weather. Some years Mother Nature is good to us and other years she’s not. This year she was excep- tionally nice giving us an abundance of hot, humid, sunny days. But it can’t stay sunny forever and this week the rains came. Rather than a lit- tle sprinkle, we got walloped with a del- uge of rain last weekend and on Tues- day. Creeks and waterways flooded and many a basement across Durham Region was flooded. In south Oshawa a fierce storm on Saturday damaged homes, cars and backyards. Extreme weather is becoming all too common, whether it occurs in the sum- mer or winter. And because it’s impos- sible to predict when extreme weath- er will hit, we should all take heed and make sure we’re ready for the worst. Are you prepared? The Region of Durham encourages all residents to have a plan to deal with extreme situations brought about by the weather. Thunderstorms, lightning, high winds, hail and tornadoes can hap- pen at any time. So when they occur, you should have a plan because “emer- gency preparedness starts at home.” Part of your plan should include securing outdoor objects that could blow away or cause damage. If possi- ble, unplug your electronic equipment before a storm arrives. Consider the additional needs of children and peo- ple with disabilities and if you have pets make sure they are safely indoors. One of the most important parts of being prepared for severe weather is making a 72-hour emergency kit that should include enough food, water and medicine. The food should not need to be cooked or refrigerated as you may not have access to a functioning stove or refrigerator. Make sure the kit also includes batteries, blankets, flashlights, a first aid kit and a battery-operated radio. Local media and government web- sites and social media channels will give you up-to-date information during an emergency so make sure your cell- phones, tablets or laptops are charged. If possible try to have back up batteries or power packs for these devices in case the power is out for a significant amount of time like it was during the blackout of 2003. There’s no predicting the weather but you can help yourself and your family by being preparing for the worst. Yes, it’s been a beautiful summer so far but the events of the past week have shown that beautiful weather can turn quickly and when it does you need to be ready. For more details about what should be included in your kits, or additional information related to personal emer- gency preparedness, please visit www. durham.ca/demo . our opinion Don’t let severe weather catch you off guard this summer column Angling and dangling on Georgian Bay You witness some wonderful things when you get out in the wilderness. You also see some very strange things. My oldest son Duncan and I were up on Georgian Bay this past weekend for some canoe tripping and we had our eyes opened by both nature and the au naturel. Saturday morning, we’d been pad- dling about an hour, headed further north towards our second night’s campsite, when we spied a mid-sized power boat moored in the middle of our path. That in itself was not at all unusual, power-boaters often cruise in off the bay to enjoy the coastal islands and inlets. What was unusual, and what took both of us a moment or two to fully comprehend, was that the boat’s two occupants were completely naked ... while fishing. A man and a woman, both unabash- edly starkers, angling and dangling. It was all we could do to stop from laughing out loud. I’ve seen some pret- ty weird stuff in my 56 years, but I’ve never seen nude fishing. My son and I have also done a lot of fishing together and we were both painfully aware of the potential for the fisherman or fisher- woman to be hooked in places where, unless you were a porn star, you would never wish to be pierced. We must’ve had that thought simultaneously as, I recall, there was a collective wince in our boat. The channel we were paddling through was somewhat narrow and so, of necessity, believe me, not voyeur- ism, we had to draw fairly near their craft. Near enough to make out details we really could’ve done without. Also close enough that we were now more or less obliged to make chit-chat. My son and I were squirming with barely contained laughter, doing our best to keep our eyes on anything aboard the boat that wasn’t flesh-col- ored. Gilligan and Mary-Anne, howev- er, were suffering from no such embar- rassment. I dug down deep and came up with “I hope you two are wearing plenty of sunblock!” They started to laugh and then things really got exciting. He suddenly had a fish on, the action taking them both, slapping and jiggling, to the opposite gunwale of their boat where they bent deeply over to retrieve their catch. Dun- can and I took that quadruple-cheeked salute as our cue to move on. We paddled silently for another 50 yards or so when we both burst out laughing. I’m sure they heard us. That trip was filled with many won- derful moments for me. Campfire chats and single malt, star-filled night skies and quietly content card games. But I know, years from now, when Dunc and I talk about that adventure, the first thing to leap to mind will be the naked anglers.

Unifor national president Jerry Dias kicked off contract talks with the union handing its proposal to GM Canada. The union has also kicked off bargaining with Ford and Fiat Chrysler. In a recent press conference, Mr. Dias said talks with GM that day went well and described them as positive and construc- tive, but he was firm that the union would not sign an agreement unless the future of GM’s Oshawa footprint and the company’s St. Catharines engine plant were secured. “We firmly believe General Motors will exit Oshawa if we don’t have a firm commit- ment,” he said. He pointed out that seven years ago, GM announced the closure of Oshawa’s truck plant shortly after negotiations with the union concluded and four years ago, it was announced Oshawa would lose Camaro production after the union signed a new deal. Mr. Dias said he was not threatening GM, but rather making a straightforward com- ment on where negotiations are going. “It’s clear our biggest concern is Gener- al Motors in Oshawa, so I don’t believe in flirting around the edges, I believe in being straightforward,” he said. The union leader said that while the two sides were “miles apart” at this point, he believed a deal could be reached by Sept. 19. He also rejected talk of concessions, point- ing out that autoworkers have not had a raise in 10 years. Meanwhile, GM officials also issued a statement on the talks. “We look forward to these contract nego- tiations with our Unifor partners, which will be about working together toward a mutu- ally beneficial competitive agreement,” they said. “We are proud of the experience, quality and productivity of our Canadian workforce. These negotiations are an important first hurdle in building a business case for future investments in Canada. This business case will also include other partners, such as gov- ernment, suppliers and our communities.” No deal without GM commitment to Oshawa plant, Unifor says 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 8 , 2 0 1 6 8 P 416.285.4447 2300 Lawrence Ave.E.Unit 30 Scarborough,ON M1P 2R2 OEM and aftermarket automotive parts at discount prices! 905.471.4447 7025 Markham Rd.Unit 5 Markham,ON. 905.294.5773 15 Heritage Rd.Unit 14 Markham,ON. 5w20, 5w30 & 10w30 ** API certified ** ices!

MA R K H A M LAWRENCE NEXT TO Dollarama Ontario is having the driest summer since 2005. In fact the two years have similarities with brutal winters and very hot, drought-like summers. Brutal winters can result in major vine loss- es -- especially vinifera varieties, but droughts have both advantages and disadvantages. Certainly diseases that depend on moisture, such as rot and mildew, may not become a problem. On the vine, sunny, hot, dry weather tends to produce smaller berries which develop higher natural sugar readings with equally higher concentration of phenols and tannin. In addition to this, there is a natural ‘drop- ping’ of fruit by the vine -- nature’s way of selection, so to speak. Red grape varieties usually do better during the hot drought periods while white grapes, owing to a lack of needed cool evening temps, have a difficult time attaining natural acidity levels. Obviously there are the up sides to having a drought, however, the critical time for water stress in a vine is during the formative period of ‘bloom’ to ‘berry.’ Many wineries do irrigate their vineyards, thus relieving stresses on vines during extend- ed dry periods. Bruce Nicholson, winemaker at Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Inniskillin Winery, affirms that this is going to be a good year for them owing to irrigation. “I believe they are doing OK, a lot have access to irrigation and we have had some rain recently, fruit has been dropped ... We manually drop (crop) fruit for the health of the plant. Young plants particularly are vul- nerable but hand watering has been happen- ing. We should see some great wines, particu- larly the big reds.” Paul Battilana, winemaker at Casa Dea Win- ery (Prince Edward County), does not irrigate though ‘wish we could.’ He states that yields will be lower with good results at an earlier harvest. “At this point it looks as if the tonnage will be lower due to the grape clusters weighing less but the quality ... at this point is looking very good.” After a long period of drought, sudden extensive rainfall can ‘wash away’ a potential- ly excellent vintage -- diluting the grape clus- ters and making strict selection necessary. The great heat of summer droughts can pro- duce sudden violent weather, pounding rain and hail seriously damaging the vineyard crop.

PICKERINGTOWN CENTRE Lower Level Centre Court 2016 Boiler taken off-line following failed emissions test CLARINGTON -- The Ministry of the Envi- ronment and Climate Change has given permission to the operators of the Claring- ton incinerator to restart boiler No. 1 in the facility, which has been offline since May following a failed emissions test. Region officials said they planned to begin the process of restarting the boiler on Aug. 5. While boiler No. 2 continues to operate, boiler No. 1 was taken off-line after a stack showed it had exceeded allowable limits for dioxins and furans, toxic chemicals that have the potential to produce numerous health problems in humans and animals according to Health Canada. Before restarting, Covanta--the operator of the Durham York Energy Centre--had to submit an abatement plan to the ministry. After completing phase one of the abate- ment plan, Covanta was given permission to restart the boiler. It will be restarted with natural gas which will bring the combus- tion chamber temperature to 1,000 degrees Celsius. Once it reaches that temperature, waste will be gradually added to the boiler until the burn can be sustained with waste only as the fuel. Phase two of the abatement plan involves further testing, inspections and monitoring to gather insight into what caused the con- ditions that led the dioxins and furan emis- sions to exceed allowed limits. The abatement plan will be complete only when the boiler successfully passes new tests.

Regina Elliott, Durham’s manager of pub- lic health nursing and nutrition, notes where you were born, grow, work and age, as well as income, social supports, education, social environments and physical environments all play a role in determining one’s health. For Ms. Barakat-Haddad, seeing the Region’s map identifying the health of resi- dents by neighbourhood is a good step to understanding what contributes to a healthy neighbourhood and their effects on resi- dents. “It’s exciting to see this happening for Dur- ham Region,” she says. Ms. Barakat-Haddad says she has seen in her own research as a health geographer the correlation between where someone lives and their neighbourhood. In a study, Ms. Barakat-Haddad looked at the health of 395 children living in four dis- tinct neighbourhoods in Hamilton, and found their health outcomes later in life were related to air pollution levels in the neigh- bourhoods they lived in. “You do see health differences relative to the neighbourhoods,” she says. Ms. Barakat-Haddad says air pollutants, the environmental effect she measured in her Hamilton study, are one of the obvious detri- ments to health in neighbourhoods, and that traffic can be a major contributor. “When we see traffic, automatically we know it affects people’s health,” she says. “On the other hand, if we see green space, we know those reduce those effects.” As with the Durham Region health maps, differences in health can be seen between neighbourhoods, but the Region’s officials say that social factors can also affect those self-rated health levels. “I think for us specifically when we talk about the physical environment we also talk about the social environment where people feel connected in the community because the physical environment allows them to do that,” says Ms. Elliott. “In planning and look- ing at public streets, you want to see streets that are safe, meet the needs of (residents), meet social interaction and facilitate biking, walking, community connectivity.” Durham Region municipalities are consid- ering those factors when planning commu- nities and trying to create healthy neighbour- hoods. “Municipalities are aware of the health benefits of healthy and livable and safe com- munities. They should be part of official plans and I know they are in all of our official plans,” says Ms. Elliott. The Town of Ajax is a good example of a municipality moving to have more socia- ble and healthy strategies through their Get Moving Ajax transportation plan. “It’s all about choice,” says Elysia Leung, the Town’s transportation demand management co-ordinator. “We want to give residents who might choose not to drive or can’t drive options to take transportation in a comfort- able way.” Besides lessening traffic congestion through the campaign, different modes of transportation can help crate a happy, healthy, inclusive community. “You have more people on the street, there’s more chance for interaction as well,” says Ms. Leung. From the perspective of Nick Wattie, an assistant professor in the faculty of health sciences at UOIT whose research focuses on sport participation and environmental influences, proximity in neighbourhoods is another factor that allows people to be healthy. “The closer you are to work, school, stores, leisure activities is really related to physical activity levels,” he says. Generally, areas with a lot of urban sprawl don’t allow for that proximity, he says “Those types of neighbourhoods aren’t ideal for health and physical activity,” Mr. Wattie says. “The environment is almost forc- ing you to take the inactive options.” When not commuting or shopping, neigh- bourhoods should also allow and encourage physical leisure activities. “Walking paths and sidewalks, all those things are huge determinates of health,” Mr. Wattie says. Those trails, sidewalks and even parks should “absolutely” be included when plan- ning neighbourhoods, he says. “Especially for young kids, just about all kids start out playing in parks and neigh- bourhoods, it helps ensure they’re active later in life, you sow a lot of these positives,” he says. “It’s definitely an important thing from a neighbourhood design perspective.” While many factors affect the health of peo- ple in a neighbourhood, experts and Region- al officials warn it may be the people and not only the neighbourhood that results in an area having a higher health rating. “The problem becomes, how do we know it’s the neighbourhood and not the people?” Ms. Barakat-Haddad says. Ms. Pietrusiak notes a person who enjoys physical activity may choose to live in an area with ample trails. “Certainly people are drawn to certain neighborhoods as well,” she says. Still, it’s important to try and determine the environmental effects on health, Ms. Bara- kat-Haddad says. “I feel very strongly when it’s an area like Durham (that is growing), it’s much more important to see the situation at this time so we can address it,” she says, noting a prop- er baseline is needed to properly assess the changes overtime. “We need to know that what we’re doing is improving health.” Ultimately, understanding that relation- ship and using what Ms. Barakat-Haddad calls a social justice framework, Durham can understand how to make the neighbour- hoods more equitable in terms of health. “Looking at it from a social justice per- spective will help us with solutions, she says. “Health equality and social justice, that’s the main goal of the neighbourhoods map.” Making the connection between your health and where you live Peter Redman photo PORT PERRY -- A majority of Durham residents believe themselves to be healthy, and walkability of local neighbourhoods is said to be an important factor in maintain- ing good health.

The amalgamation of the business, infor- mation technology, transportation and facilities services portfolios under associate director, David Visser, resulted in the reallo- cation of resources to create an additional superintendent of education position. With the successful implementation of full-day kindergarten now complete, the early years portfolio will now be aligned with programs services department with superintendent Luigia Ayotte. In addition, the DDSB will undertake a technology review this fall that will be led by Ms. Ayotte and Mr. Visser. The DDSB says it will continue its focus on strategies to reduce the impact of pov- erty on student success. The poverty strat- egy will now reside with superintendent Jim Markovski. Superintendents of families of schools have been reorganized to align elemen- tary schools directly with their second- ary schools. The allocation of an addition- al superintendent of education and reor- ganization will further refine the Durham District School Board’s focus on student achievement and well-being.

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.

Could almost feel how happy the trees were, stretching out their toes and suck- ing up that vital moisture. Could almost sense parched grasses and wildflowers waking up and deciding to grow again. We’re alive because of water -- us and a billion other species, plant and animal, here on Earth, the only water planet in our solar system. And one of the great joys is relishing the rains after a long hot dry spell. And then there’s the wind, air circulat- ing around troughs and peaks of pres- sure that sweep across land and sea in a continual dance, trying to balance them- selves out. I’ve never been so glad to feel that southeast breeze that brought the week- end rains. To open every window in our little house and have it push out the heat we’d been living with. It takes a hot summer -- the hottest on record? -- to make us stop and pay atten- tion to the winds and what they’re bring- ing us. Relief, for sure. And after the low fronts go through and winds shift north- west, a whole lot of wonderful surprises. Any day now flocks of songbirds will be showing up in our urban forests, flying in on the winds overnight. Flycatchers, kinglets, vireos and thrushes will be moving down from northern woods, starting their great migration southward. Most colourful even in non-breeding fall plumage are the wood-warblers, tiny flashes of gold flitting about in the branches, hunting for insects. While you might very well see migrat- ing songbirds in trees in your yard, they often concentrate along lakeshores before moving on -- so look for them along the Waterfront Trail. Shorebirds have been moving through all August, taking advantage of north- west winds. Adults leave their Arctic breeding grounds soon after their young have fledged, leaving them to grow up on their own and find their way to South American beaches, which they some- how do instinctually. Pond edges, wetland shallows and mudflats in Durham offer resting stops for many species. The Nonquon lagoons near Port Perry and puddles on the flats at Oshawa’s Second Marsh can be pro- ductive. And perhaps most dramatic of all, northwest winds will bring raptors, big birds that fly by day and sometimes pep- per the sky with their numbers. So pay attention to the winds! And look to the skies, to the trees, to the water’s edge whenever winds shift north- west.

Advertising Feature FOCUS ON BUSINESS Pickering Learning to play an instrument offers so many benefits above and beyond pure enjoyment. 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. With 88 keys that have the same weight as real piano keys, these keyboards also produce the same hammer action sound and feel as an acoustic piano. Students have the opportunity to participate in two recitals a year. Every December, the students can take part in the Joyful Noise concert held at Pickering City Hall.

See more events at www.durhamregion.com-events Guitar wizard Philip Sayce plays Ajax August 27 show at St. Francis Centre AJAX -- He’s been described as the guitarist who is reviving blues/rock and names like Clapton, Page and Hendrix are thrown around when he’s discussed. Philip Sayce may be the best guitar player you’ve never heard of. The axe man is in Durham on Aug. 27 for a concert at The St. Francis Cen- tre in Ajax. “At 21, Philip Sayce caught the atten- tion of Jeff Healey, and spent the next four years as second guitar along- side the guitar master,” states a press release. “Following the lead of a num- ber of talented Canadian artists, Sayce chose to move to the U.S., all the while staying true to his personal quest of following what moves him. Primary among his various L.A. ventures was joining multi-Grammy Award winner Melissa Etheridge’s band in 2003. He would go on to tour and record with Etheridge over the course of the next five years while continuing to perform and record with his own band. “Combine the head-turning guitar skills with expressive vocals deliver- ing on a variety of musical styles and you get the whole picture -- an artist following his heart, making that emo- tional connection.” The 8 p.m. show is presented by Music by the Bay Live and advance tickets are $45, available at www. musicbythebaylive.com . The St. Francis Centre is at 78 Church St. S. Photo by Joshua Withers AJAX -- Guitar ace Philip Sayce is in Durham on Aug. 27 for a Music by the Bay Live show at Ajax’s St. Francis Centre. Six Durham fairs for the final days of summer DURHAM -- Summer’s winding down and those school bells will soon be ringing, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had in Durham. To help you find that fun, here’s a list of fairs coming up in Durham Region. There are a fair number of them. (Sorry.) Several of these are called fall fairs but that’s really a misnomer since they are all held before autumn officially begins. Get ready to enjoy what these fairs offer -- midways, food, demolition derby, 4-H shows, cattle and horse shows and more. 1. Blackstock Fair -- Starts Friday, Aug. 26 with a demolition derby with the fair on Saturday, Aug. 27 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. And there’s a parade. www.blackstockfair.ca. 2. Port Perry Fair -- Starts at noon Saturday, Sept. 3 with the midway and lawn tractor pull and contin- ues through Monday, Sept. 5. You won’t want to miss the popular fam- ily rodeo, complete with chicken catching and mutton busting for kids. www.portperryfair.com. 3. Orono Fair -- This four-day fair from Sept. 8-11 features a Friday night concert with Wes Mack, along with other fair fun. www.oronofair. com. 4.

What intrigues you and brings you to our doors? What makes us inclusive and accessible? What I couldn’t have predicted this summer was just how substantially the Pokemon GO trend would take us by storm, in fact broadening our audience. Like many, we planted Pokemon hither and thither inside our free, public building, opened our doors and watched the effect. I will never forget the experience of coaxing reluctant newcomers at our steps to enter the building. It’s progress, I think. We’re contin- ually welcoming new visitors, learn- ing from them, and them from us. I feel that embracing humani- ty’s variety is absolutely central to the roles of galleries and museums today. I know that my colleagues and I believe this to be true. We’re always working to bring in exhibitions that interest both new and longer-standing visitors, and challenge ourselves to reconsider how we present our permanent col- lection. As part of our fall programming at the RMG, we’ve been working to bring the varied bodies, cultures and abilities of our audience mem- bers and exhibiting artists into sharp focus. So please inquire about our guest speakers’ forum, taking place on Oct. 22 as part of the exhibition, Images In Our Heads, which opens this Sep- tember. In the words of our guest curators, Vanessa Dion Fletcher and Lindsay Fisher, we’ll be bringing artists, activ- ists and thinkers together to “consid- er the role that fantasy and imagina- tion play in changing how we think about difference and disability”. We’ll be hosting another extrava- ganza of creativity at our Sept. 9, All Access Pass themed RMG Fridays event, too, so please join us! It’s all going to be outstanding. -- Donna Raetsen-Kemp is the CEO of The Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa Culture Corner Donna Raetsen-Kemp newsdurhamnewsdurhamnewsdurham 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 8 , 2 0 1 6 26 AP GOOD DEALS+MORE RE D P L U M ® IS N O T D I S T R I B U T E D I N A L L A R E A S LOOK FOR IT INSIDE Next i s s u e : SEP 1 7 / 1 6 EXPIRY D A T E : S e p t e m b e r 3 0 , 2 0 1 6 EXPIRY D A T E : S e p t e m b e r 3 0 , 2 0 1 6 SAVE $5off a n y S o n i c a r e Brush H e a d R e f i l l SAVE $10off t h e p u r c h a s e o f a n y Sonicare R e c h a r g e a b l e Toothbrush (excludes P Removes up to 6x more plaquethanamanualtoothbrush Results you’ll notice –Guaranteed*Visit Sonicare.ca for details*or your money back Freshen U p your r o u t i n e w i t h Philips S o n i c a r e VERIDIAN IS PLEASED TO RECOGNIZE ITS BUSINESS CUSTOMERS THAT ACHIEVED OUTSTANDING ELECTRICIT Y CONSERVATION RESULTS IN 2015.

Sisters wanted for choir DURHAM -- Shout Sister Durham welcomes new members to join its session beginning next month. “We sing a variety of music,” states a press release. “Pop, motown, blues and a little bit of country. We don’t read music, we learn from recorded tracks so we require no read- ing of music. Our method is fresh and fun and we are a warm and welcoming commu- nity. Feel free to come out for a no-obligation practice at any time.” Sessions run from Sept. 14 to the end of January and from February to June. The women’s choir breaks for the summer. Shout Sister Durham rehearses on Thursday nights at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Whitby. Attend a no-obligation practice or e-mail members@shoutsisterchoir.ca for informa- tion. Author Angela Tibbles working on third book in series CLARINGTON -- Bowmanville author Angela Tibbles says her “single biggest challenge is the discipline of writing. “Making myself sit down at the comput- er every day and producing at least 800 words,” she says when asked. “The sheer hard work involved came as a huge surprise to me.” Tibbles, originally from London, UK, is knee deep in No Good Deed, the third book in her Little Yarmouth Myster- ies series, due out in the fall of 2017. It’s heroine is Rosie Rowe, a fine singer and a part-time sleuth who has “a predilec- tion for helping the restless dead,” states the author’s website. As Faulkner creat- ed the imaginary Yoknapatawpha Coun- ty, Tibbles has made and peopled Little Yarmouth, a small Ontario town in Huron County. Like many such places, beneath the quiet veneer lie many secrets. Tibbles says writing new books in a series means she has to keep track of everything, especially all of the small details that have appeared in print. “Descriptive consistency has kept me awake at nights,” she says. “Did I say that person had blue eyes? Better not give them brown eyes in book three. And don’t say Donny the recto- ry cat is ginger; he was a tuxedo in book one. Etc. etc. etc.” As well, it’s also tricky maintaining the tone of the first novel in subsequent works in the series. In the first book, The Cornish Gift, Rowe returns to her hometown and gets a job as a church secretary. She uses her talents to find out how her friend’s hus- band died. In Old Sins, the second novel, Rowe’s former music teacher needs her help to quell a restless spirit. Tibbles says the plot of No Good Deed “revolves around dark secrets hidden in the past of Mariella Blanchette, a retired operatic diva visiting Little Yarmouth to headline its fledgling Choral Festival” (Rowe’s idea). “Rosie and the choir’s lead tenor, Jack Driscoll, had come up with the project as a way to raise much-needed funds for Little Yarmouth Memorial hospital, and it was at Jack’s suggestion that Mariella (his cousin and childhood friend) was invited to be the star attraction,” Tibbles says. “Born in Little Yarmouth, Mariella’s career has always been a source of local pride, and her participation has guaran- teed the Festival’s success.” “Even before the aging diva arrives, bad things start to happen. Jack’s house is damaged by fire, so Mariella unex- pectedly demands to be accommodat- ed at her old family homestead. Here it becomes apparent that it’s not only the living who are disturbed by her presence. Rosie’s psychic antennae begin twitching as she realizes that Mariella’s entourage has expanded to include at least two lost souls, each seeking release and redemp- tion.” Learn more about Tibbles and the series at www.littleyarmouthmysteries. com.

Having spent the last 10 days watch- ing the world’s greatest athletes on the world’s biggest stage, I started thinking about all the ‘villagers’ who must have played a role in the lives of these Olym- pians. While it’s the athletes and their coach- es who are recognized and given praise and accolades for their performance, let’s think about the reality of what it took to get them to the Olympics. We know it’s the coach and athlete who put in the long hours of training, with parents providing much of the financial and emotional support, but let’s dig a bit deeper to understand and appreciate all of the villagers who have played a role in getting these athletes to the Olympics. In most cases, it was a volunteer coach or teacher who introduced these Olympians to organized sports at the grassroots level. Where would community sports be without volunteer coaches who head to the fields to coach after a long day at work? We should also applaud the officials and club administrators who volunteer their evenings and weekends to run competitions for these athletes to com- pete in. Let’s give a big shout-out to all the car- poolers, travelling from house to house, picking up the kids whose parents were unable to get them to and from practice or games. Let’s not forget the training part- ners who encouraged them when they didn’t feel like going to practice or cheered them on when they wanted to pack it in before the end of a tough workout. The therapists who worked after hours and travelled to tournaments to ensure these athletes were healthy and ready to train or compete also had a hand in their success. On behalf of all Olympians, I salute the villagers for their contribution and the role they played in the Olympic journey. We are grateful for the part you played each and every step of the way. Former Olympic medallist Tony Sharpe is head coach at The Speed Academy Athletics Club based in Pickering. Contact him at info@speedacademy.ca Tony Sharpe Guest columnist Ajax’s Zain Manji ends university tennis career on a high note, starts up car repair business Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX -- An Ajax tennis player ended a sterling career on the court for the Uni- versity of Toronto men’s tennis team on a high note recently. Zain Manji, 22, who finished a dou- ble degree in computer science and economics this year, accompanied the U of T Blues tennis team to the Rog- ers Cup event in Montreal recently where the Canadian university tennis championships was hosted in tandem with the professional tour stop. After defeating the McGill Redmen 5-2 in the opening day of the championships, the U of T team lost to 4-3 to the Uni- versity of Alberta Golden Bears on the second day to claim the silver medal. Manji said it was exciting to compete at nationals for a second year in a row as well as playing to large crowds that seemed to enjoy the university-level tennis as well as that played by the pro players. “It was really exciting because of the location and being surrounded by all the pro tennis players you see on TV. The atmosphere there was really exciting.” Manji was the U of T’s top singles player at nationals, winning both of his matches. He defeated Haythem Laara- bi of McGill in the semifinals 4-6, 7-6, 6-2, and Ryan Townsend of Alberta in the finals 7-5, 6-2, but the University of Toronto team was edged out by the U. of Alberta. “The competition was at a very high level,” said Manji of the nationals. “It really brought out the best in every- one.” A national silver wasn’t Manji’s only accomplishment on the court this sea- son. He was awarded the Frank Pindar male athlete of the year at the U of T as well as Ontario University Athletics tennis player of the year. His tennis career at the U of T is over, although he could continue if he returned for graduate studies. Manji says he’ll continue to play competi- tively in the ITF Pro Circuit Futures events. “I definitely intend to keep playing,” said of playing in the Futures circuit, which he describes as a low-level pro- fessional tour. “I hope to build up my ranking. I haven’t played too many events (in the tour) because of school, maybe two or three in the past two years.” Tennis may well be on the back burn- er, as Manji’s prepared to turn his time and attention to something completely different -- auto mechanics. Although the Ajax native is not a mechanic by trade, he and his two business partners launched a startup company -- Fiix -- a web-based service where a mechanic will come to your home or office to perform service on your vehicle. Manji called it the Uber of car repairs and, so far, the venture has been a success. One of the top Silicon Valley investors, Y Combinator -- which also invested in airbnb and Dropbox -- has provided funding to Fiix. “Every month we’re growing very fast, faster than the previous month. We’re growing at an exponential rate,” said Manji who’s the co-founder and chief product officer. “We haven’t recorded one bad customer review. We’re extremely confident in the cus- tomer experience. Hopefully we can continue that growth.” Visit fiix.io to learn more about Fiix.

SportS Brooklin cyclist races in second Olympics Saturday at 11:30 a.m. Brian McNair bmcnair@durhamregion.com BROOKLIN — Emily Batty can still get teary-eyed recalling her painful Olympic debut in London four years ago, but she’s using that experience now to fuel her fire for redemption in Rio. Batty, a 28-year-old mountain biker, went to the 2012 Games with high medal expec- tations and plenty of support, both from the family who joined her in England and the many who cheered from their Brook- lin farm, all decked out in red and white, by the TV. But, unbeknownst to those who had gathered back in Canada, a crash in train- ing three days before her cross-country race had resulted in a broken collarbone and rib, shattering any realistic hopes of reaching the podium. After crying almost non-stop for three days, Batty gritted her teeth and still raced, finishing 24th, but she was devastated at not being able to perform at her best at the biggest moment of her career. Now, set to race under the Olympic spot- light again on Saturday Aug. 20 at 11:30 a.m. (ET), she’s eager to put that past behind her for good. “I can still kind of get emotion- al about it now, but I don’t dwell on it the way I used to because this is a second chance, and Tokyo hopefully a third chance,” she said, referring also to the 2020 Games. “I’m putting that in the past, but definitely feed- ing off of it is going to be the key element, as revenge, a second chance.” Batty has drawn plenty of inspiration over the years from her family, especially parents Rick and Cindy, and has been able to both put the accident into perspective and recover from it as a result. Recently grandparents for the first time, her parents have successfully been battling Cindy’s non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for the past 12 years. “Being able to see them face stuff, not just once but multiple times over the last 12 years, the hardest challenges anyone could ever face, and still coming out on top, being as positive and healthy as they both are today,” she said when asked what inspires her most. “Just being fearless and perseverance is what they’ve taught us. That’s a huge element that I can bring into the sport.” Fearlessness is mandatory in a sport that involves a combi- nation of speed, power, endur- ance, skill and tactics, not to mention crashes and mechani- cal problems. When Batty takes to the 4.85-kilometre course against 27 of the other world’s best, she’ll battle the rugged terrain for about an hour-and-half, all the while wearing her lucky charm -- a pearl necklace her dad had given her mom when they were dating. She’ll do so also coming off impres- sive results this season, including her first medal at a world championship, winning bronze in the Czech Republic in July, and another third-place result on the World Cup circuit in Quebec Aug. 7. Currently ranked eighth in the world, one spot ahead of teammate Catharine Pendrel, Batty expects to be right in the thick of things on a course she was able to test last October and believes plays to her strengths. “It’s interesting because the widest part of the track is eight feet across, so it’s going to be a very tactical race for sure,” she explained shortly before heading to Bra- zil. “It’s going to come down to these tac- tical moves and who’s going to preserve the most energy but still play smart and position themselves properly. It becomes a bit of a psychological test at that point and definitely that has always been to my advantage, so hopefully it plays out that way in Rio.” One of four siblings, all biking enthusi- asts, Batty has been immersed in her sport since about the age of 10, and now spends much of each winter training in Arizona with her coach, Adam Morka, who is also her husband. While ruefully admitting she misses out on many big events of family and friends back home, she continues to love what she does and has no plans of stopping at just two Olympics. “One hundred per cent focusing on Tokyo as well,” she said, when asked of the future. “Adam has made so many sacrific- es as well, he’s retired and put all his focus into me, so because it’s two of us working on the same goal, it’s going to make it pos- sible.” Emily Batty eyes redemption in Rio Emily Batty 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 8 , 2 0 1 6 31 AP *Nopurchasenecessary.ClosesSeptember30,2016(10:00p.m.ET).OpentoOntarioresidents(18+).Enterwhenyoupurchase,leaseor finance a newandunused2016Hondamodelalongwithan eligiblesetoffour(4)newwintertiresfromanOntarioHondaDealerbySeptember30,2016.Totalof30prizes(3perweek)available –eachconsistingof a chequeintheamountofthesellingprice (inclusiveof applicablefeesandtaxes)ofthewintertireportionoftheeligiblepurchase.

Looking to match the medal won four years earlier in London, the Canadians will face host Brazil Friday, Aug. 19 in the third- place contest at 1 p.m. in Sao Paulo. Ranked 10th in the world heading into the 2016 Rio Games, Canada reached the semifinal undefeated, but fell to the No. 2-ranked Germans after having beaten them earlier in the tournament in a far less meaningful game. “I thought we worked hard and we gave it our all,” Canadian coach John Herdman said in a press release. “We have to go fight the Brazilians for a bronze medal. We have to bring it home -- that’s what we prom- ised, that’s our job now.” Nichelle Prince, a 21-year-old forward from Ajax, played the final five minutes of the semifinal as Canada searched for offence. Courtice’s Allysha Chapman, a 27-year- old defender who had played in all previ- ous games, was held out due to a shoulder injury suffered in a 1-0 quarter-final win over France. Whitby’s Kailen Sheridan has also travelled with the team as an alternate goalkeeper. Brazil, the eighth-ranked team in the world, lost in penalty kicks to No. 6 Sweden in the other semifinal.
