As it happens, that was also the same year Durham mental health ad- vocate John Dickson attempted to end his life. At the time Dickson was liv- ing in North Durham and strug- gled to find proper services in the rural area. It took up to six weeks just to complete an appli- cation for services. "When I was released from hospital, with no medicine, no doctor's appointment, no psy- chiatrist appointment," said Dickson, who has been diag- nosed with depression and bipo- lar disorder. "I didn't have a John Dickson is a mental health advocate in Durham Region.

Francesco Carbone, a former student at the Pickering elementary school, is now a sound a nd lighting professional whose work includes ma- j or events like the Much M usic Video Awards. I n his spare time, he gives back to the school by setting up state-of- the-art sound and light- ing for plays and special events - giving the kids a chance to feel like stars. "It's a big confidence b oost for them," says Carbone, 19. "They put in the time and effort to memorize 30 pages of dia- l ogue, they should be heard." For Westcreek's s pring production of Down the Drain Carbone s et up professional s peakers, headset micro- phones, wireless micro- phones and lighting. He says it means a lot t o him to give back to the place that gave him his start. I n Grade 7, he was t rained to use the school's sound and light- ing equipment to support t he drama club, and the rest was history. "Without them, I wouldn't be where I am," says Carbone, who now h as his own company, L ate Gig Productions, and has returned to Westcreek to volunteer ever since he graduated. Teacher Samantha Perera wrote Down the Drain - the story of a vil- lain threatening to drain t he world of its water if h is demands aren't met - and oversaw the produc- t ion, which involved 150 students in grades four t o eight. S he describes Car- bone as "remarkable," and says his contribu- t ions go beyond the high- t ech set up. "What he's really do- ing is giving the kids an e xperience they wouldn't n ormally have at this age level. That's the thing t hat touches me the m ost," she says. "Wheth- e r he knows it or not, he's h aving a real impact." EDUCATION Pickering school play gets professional sound and lighting treatment Francesco Carbone says high-tech set up is a 'confidence boost' for students JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com Francesco Carbone was a student at Westcreek P.S. in Pickering many years ago where he got his start learning about sound and lighting for school plays. He is now a sound and lighting professional who's worked on big shows like the Much Music Video Awards. Every year he brings his expertise and equipment back to Westcreek P.S. to make the school plays extra awesome. Present student and Assistant Sound Effects expert Ben Collins discussed some possible effects for a part of the production with Carbone. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland PICKERING - Pickering council wants a new bus route to make a stop at the carpool lot in Brougham. The lack of an access agreement between Metro- linx and Durham Region Transit (DRT) means the bus isn't pulling into the lot, causing a potential danger to the people who use the bus, say Ward 3 regional Coun. David Pickles and Ward 3 city Coun. Shaheen Butt. DRT Route 603 is a new service that provides a link from the Pickering GO sta- tion to Uxbridge, along Brock Road. But the bus does not service the Brougham Metrolinx car- pool lot at Hwy. 407 and Brock Road. DRT has expressed to Metrolinx it wishes to drop off riders at the lot, as people often have to cross Brock Road as a result of the cur- rent arrangement. "I think it is important to get this resolved," Pickles says. Council passed a mo- tion at the latest meeting asking Metrolinx to reach an agreement with DRT to implement the stop. "I think we know that Brock Road is getting busier," said Butt. The motion was forward- ed to Metrolinx and the lo- cal MPPs.

What has been neglected and sorely needed for far too long, however, is high-quality hospice care. Durham Region is one of the only comparable regions in the province without hospice care. As it currently exists, the only option available for Durham residents living out their final days is to remain in hospital or go home. That's purely unacceptable in a growing region such as Durham. There's an urgent need to have facilities in place to give our residents the opportunity to go through end-of-life care with dignity. With such a glaring deficiency in hospice care in Durham, the province has stepped in to provide funding to support 20 residential hospice beds in Durham. With provincial funding only available for half of the capital costs, Durham Region Hospice - a partnership between Durham Hospice and VON Durham Community Corpo- ration - has launched Comfort, Care, Compassion, a capital campaign to raise $15 million toward the con- struction of residential hospice centres in Clarington and Whitby. The campaign is running in tandem with the Building for Compassionate Care capital campaign in support of Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Perry. Five hospice beds will be coming to Clarington with council announcing earlier this year that it will donate two acres of land on Cobbledick Road in Newcastle for the facility. While the proposed hospice will be built with five beds, there will be an opportunity for expan- sion in the future if needed. Meanwhile, in Port Perry, a former Catholic elemen- tary school has been demolished earlier this year to make way for the Oak Ridge Hospice. The 13,000-square- foot facility will have five beds when it opens its doors in 2019. The hospice group launched its Building For Com- passionate Care campaign last October, aiming to raise $6.6 million for the facility. To date, about $4.8 million has been secured. In Whitby, a 10-bed residential hospice and palliative care centre of excellence is proposed on a three-acre site on the northeast corner of Prince of Wales Drive and Crawforth Street. There has been, however, some con- cerns raised by residents regarding traffic and safety in the area. When these three hospices are up and running, they will go a long way toward providing facilities for those making their final journey in a supportive, flexible, compassionate and homelike environment.

Urgently needed hospice care in Durham finally in offing • EDITORIAL • Today's culture is fear, says reader To the editor: “The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We’re teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.” This quote from Tues- days with Morrie is an ex- cellent way to sum up the kind of culture we live in: The culture of fear. Take parents as an ex- ample, children are being taught the concept of “stranger danger.” Teach- ing this to our children is one of the worst things a parent can do. Taken too far, it creates a sense of mistrust among strangers. Most child kid- nap victims are taken by a family member in a custo- dy battle, but we are fine with leaving our children alone with family. The culture of fear has also caused a mass amount of consumption in society and everyone is victim to it. What happens is, com- panies promote fear to make people buy their products. For example, home security systems show commercials of rob- bers breaking in and be- ing scared by an alarm. Though the number of robberies is dropping, the number of homes with alarm systems is rising. Brendan Devlin Whitby Reader would move if he was American To the editor: I am very outraged, as most people should be, about another mass shooting in the U.S. The young man who shot and killed four people at a Waffle House should not have even had the guns in his possession! Apparently, he had his guns taken away last year for some sort of crime. His own father gave the guns back to his son, and the Waffle House shooting was the end result. I am really proud to be a Canadian, but if I was American, I would move right away! Ron Horner Oshawa Reader thanks hydro workers for their work during the wind storm To the editor: I would like to thank the Oshawa Hydro workers who went out in gale-force winds to restore power to areas in north and south Oshawa. I was one of those 6,000 customers in south-west Oshawa who was without power. I was able to get caught up in some of my reading, as the power was out from approximately 5:30 to 9 p.m. I really didn’t know the extent of the damage until I noticed my neighbour's fence was blown down (it's a wood fence that’s six feet high). Thank goodness it was only the east side of the fence. I got off lucky. Only my barbecue cover blew off and was still in the back- yard.

By January 2015 he was advocating for better men- tal health support. Dickson is a blogger on mental health issues, and a vocal advocate for Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Durham and On- tario Shores Centre for Mental Health Services. "There's been progress made. It's slow but it's hap- pening," said Dickson, who points to the Big White Wall (www.bigwhite- wall.ca) an online mental health service which fea- tures around-the-clock support. "There's no doubt there's more money needed in the system. The system is stretched to the max. “There's more money needed to preserve life." Now, for the first time the election campaigns of all three major political parties include promises of significant investments in mental health and addic- tion care in Ontario. The increased support is badly needed, according to Durham mental health experts. "We're delighted that each of the parties has tak- en this item into their plat- forms. We just have to make sure it gets delivered at the end of the election," said Karim Mamdani, pres- ident and CEO of Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Services. He added he thought the influx of campaign support was in part because the federal government has commit- ted funding for mental health through the health accord. One in four people are affected by mental health issues in their lifetime. In Canada, 10 per cent of all disease burden is related to mental illness and yet the amount that is funded for mental health is seven per cent. "The burden of mental illness in Ontario is 1.5 times that of all cancers combined and more than seven times that of all in- fectious diseases," said Alec King, spokesperson for CMHA Durham. "As people feel more comfort- able talking about this with friends and family, people start to see this is an issue that affects their loved ones and everyone in their community." Ontario spends $54 bil- lion for physical health and $6 billion for mental health. Local mental health advocates are hop- ing the election campaign promises will help narrow the gap in the funding allo- cated for mental health and physical health. While the provincial government continued to invest in phys- ical health over the years, baseline funding for men- tal health hasn't kept pace. Local mental health ex- perts are hoping for sus- tainable support to create a better mental health and addictions system. CMHA Durham hasn't seen a cost of living fund- ing increase in eight years. For the past three years Ontario Shores has had a two per cent funding in- crease, for four years be- fore that there was a zero per cent funding increase. With the cost of inflation close to three per cent each year, it makes it difficult for the local agencies to cover staffing and rising operational costs (i.e. hy- dro). "We can't run a system like that," said Mamdani. "The damage that is done is tremendous. It really hurts the way health-care is de- livered in the system." Ontario Shores has a wait-list for outpatient pro- grams (the PTSD clinic, mood and anxiety clinic, etc.). The mental health centre's transition area to support people moving out from in-hospital care is be- ing run on one-time fund- ing. CMHA Durham said in- creased funds would mean being able to expand pro- grams and outreach to bet- ter serve their clients. "In a field that hasn't re- ceived base funding in- crease in almost a decade any additional funding will help us enhance services to our community," said King. To help bring services to the people who need them, local mental health servic- es have been supported by community organizations and local fundraising events. An example is the up- coming No Surrender Hockey Challenge, a not- for-profit hockey tourna- ment to help end the stigma of mental illness in Dur- ham. It has raised more than $60,000 over the years for local youth mental health programming. "We're making change. We're activating people in the community and I think it's really important," said Brian Stanton founder of the No Surrender Hockey Challenge. "But as part of the overall health care sys- tem, there needs to be less reliance on this method and more reliance on fund- ing it the way you would any other health care cri- sis." The 7th No Surrender Hockey Challenge will be held on Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27 at the Campus Ice Centre, 2200 Simcoe St. N. in Oshawa.

NEWS l Continued from page 3 Major parties talking mental health on campaign trail Doug Ford, leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives, dropped by the Durham Mental Health Services building in Whitby on April 30 to announce the party's plans for a major investment of $1.9 billion over 10 years in mental health, addictions and housing supports. The election campaigns of all three major political parties include promises of significant investments in mental health and addiction care in Ontario, something that is badly needed according to Durham mental health experts. Ron Pietroniro/Metroland THE PARTY PLANS Ontario Progressive Conservatives • Spend $1.9 billion over 10 years on mental health and addiction supports and housing. • The $1.9 billion investment will be matched by the federal government, resulting in an overall $3.8 billion investment. • Funding will build community capacity to provide evidence based care. • The additional funding will also help reduce pressure on hospitals and reduce wait times for services. Ontario Liberals • Spend $2.1 billion over the next four years to rebuild Ontario's mental health system. • Bolster youth access to therapy and counselling, allowing 12,000 more young people to access service in 2018-2019 and growing that number to 46,000 in 2021-2022. • Every secondary school in the province to have access to an additional mental health worker, creating approximately 400 new positions within two years. • Increase access to publicly funded psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioural therapy, for up to 350,000 more people with mild to moderate anxiety or depression. Ontario New Democratic Party • Create a government ministry dedicated solely to mental health and addictions. • Hire 2,200 new mental health care workers, allowing 28,000 more people to access the services they need every year. • Invest $590 million to cut wait times for children's mental health services to a 30-day max. • Increase mental health supports to cover every high school with 400 more mental health care workers. “There's no doubt there's more money needed in the system.

Taking a cold shower or drinking black coffee will not lower your blood alcohol content. Your body needs time to break down the alcohol naturally — it’s the only way! Going prolonged periods of time without sleep (more than 17 consecutive hours) is equivalent to drinking several alcoholic beverages. That’s why it’s strongly recommended to avoid driving when sleep-deprived. Like extreme fatigue, alcohol, illegal drugs, and medication affect a person’s cognitive functions and compromise their ability to drive. In addition to clouding one’s judgment, these substances impair a person’s concentration, coordination and reaction time. Your blood alcohol level can continue to increase up to 90 minutes after you’ve consumed your last drink of the evening. Impaired driving is the #1 criminal cause of death in Canada and, yet, every impaired driving crash is preventable. By calling 911 and reporting suspected impaired drivers to police, all Canadians can play a role in keeping our roads and waterways safe and in reducing impaired driving crashes, deaths and injuries. Many false beliefs about impaired driving continue to circulate. It’s about time we unveil the truth behind these misconceptions! • I ate after I drank; therefore, it’s safe to get behind the wheel. Actually, eating after a night of drinking changes absolutely nothing, as the alcohol has already entered your bloodstream. And since the effects of alcohol won’t disappear with a little food, it’s de nitely not safe to drive! • Prescription drugs are a lot less dangerous than illicit drugs. Many types of prescription and over-the-counter medication can signi cantly compromise a person’s ability to drive. Their various side effects (drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, reduced concentration, etc.) can be just as dangerous behind the wheel as those of certain illegal substances. • Men have a higher alcohol tolerance than women. A person’s sex doesn’t necessarily in uence their tolerance level. However, things like body weight, fatigue, medication and metabolism do. • Police offi cers can’t tell when someone is under the infl uence of drugs. False! Police offi cers are specially trained to evaluate someone’s ability to drive in different ways — by administering a physical coordination test, for example. Furthermore, a driver can be brought in for further evaluation by a drug recognition expert at the local station. 10 POSSIBLE SIGNS OF AN IMPAIRED DRIVER • Driving unreasonably fast or slow or inconsistent • Drifting in and out of lanes • Making exceptionally wide turns • Changing lanes or passing without suffi cient clearance • Overshooting /stopping well before stop signs or stop lights • Leaving intersections too quickly or slowly • Driving without headlights, failing to lower high beams WHAT TO DO IF YOU SEE AN IMPAIRED DRIVER • Call 911 (If you are driving, pull over rst if you can safely do so) • State your location • Vehicle description • Licence plate number of vehicle • Colour, make and model of vehicle • Direction of travel for the vehicle • Description of driver 15 | Pic k e r i n g N e w s A d v e r t i s e r | P | T h u r s d a y , M a y 1 7 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m Taxes are extra.

Italian inspired creations infused with a modern flare in the heart of Carlisle Good food shared with good company is always an occasion to be savoured.

In an ideal world all your meals would be joyful events; your taste buds teased and spoilt for choice with an abundance of local ingredients, served fresh in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Fortunately for the community of Carlisle (just a few minutes north of Waterdown) and the surrounding area, local resident Angela Checchia, dreamed of creating a community based, Italian inspired bistro reminiscent of old world ideals and philosophies. Related Stories Cascata Bistro Born to an Italian family and raised in the restaurant industry, Angela (mother, wife, triathlete and entrepreneur) instinctively knew that the 100 year old landmark building on the four corners of Carlisle was destined for greater heights. One day, whilst eating ice-cream with her 3 year old and watching the cars go by, it occurred to her that the cars going by could be stopping at her bistro. It wasn’t long before numbers were negotiated, permits issued and Cascata Bistro was born. Following the farm to table philosophy which supports local farmers by using locally grown seasonal produce when available, all of the menu items at the award winning Cascata Bistro are handmade, ensuring only fresh quality ingredients are used. Together Angela and the bistro’s chef continuously strive to create new, delicious and enticing combinations -often using herbs and vegetables from the bistro’s own kitchen garden. Special events hosted include wine pairing dinners, specialty brunches and weekly live entertainment. For contests and more information, visit Cascata Bistro on Facebook.

Hosted simultaneously by universities and colleges in 30 cities across the country, Science Rendezvous focused on giving kids of all ages a one-of-a-kind experience with science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland EDUCATION Falling in love again! It happens every spring, to anyone who's ever wit- nessed the flood of tiny, bejeweled birds that sweeps through southern Ontario in May, heading north to breed. I've seen macho men melt in wonder, gazing at a Canada warbler, a gold- throated bird with a jet- black necklace. I've watched whole gangs of guys race up a trail, hear- ing that a golden-winged warbler was spotted. Dis- cover warblers, and you may be hooked for life, ea- ger to feast your eyes on them spring after spring. And this week they're at their peak. Some 30 spe- cies, wearing widely di- verse, colourful breeding g arb, may be fluttering in yards, woods and gardens throughout Durham, de- pending on winds and weather. They're insect eaters, so congregate wherever midges do, with each species having its fa- vourite niche. Those stunning Cana- da warblers, as well as black-throated blues and g audy red-and-black American redstarts, often hang out around head- height in shrubs and thickets. Chestnut-sided, yellow-rumped and mag- nolia warblers tend to feed higher up in deciduous trees, flitting from twig to twig. Cape May warblers, streaked black and gold, with a rich chestnut cheek patch, prefer conifers. Ce- ruleans and blackpolls are canopy specialists, while yellowthroats, ovenbirds, hooded and mourning warblers are of- ten right down on the ground. Tips for tracking them: Warblers are easier to find before trees leaf out and hide them from view. Come on a warbler walk led by experts in Thickson's Woods, Dur- ham's top migration hot spot, this Saturday, May 19, and check out the lat- est, greatest binoculars.

A new report says the increase is thanks to a concentrated effort that includes connecting stu- dents with supports such as homestay providers, cell phone plans, medical insurance and pathways to post-secondary pro- grams. DCDSB Superinten- dent Michael Gray says when students from other countries study at local schools, there are bene- fits all around. "It increases the com- petency of our domestic students in terms of their cultural understanding, their global awareness," he explains. International students are able to improve their English skills, learn about Canada and get a leg up on entry to a North American college or uni- versity. The majority of the DCDSB's international students currently come from China. Other com- mon countries include Vietnam, Spain, Germa- ny, Columbia and Brazil. The board is looking to continue to grow its num- bers and will focus re- cruitment efforts on countries that have a large percentage of prac- ticing Catholics. "One of the challenges in international educa- tion is differentiating yourself from different countries, different school boards in Canada and within the province," Gray says. The DCDSB has branded its international education program "Passport to Excellence" with a focus on academ- ics, community and Ca- nadian culture. Selling points include pathway agreements with post-secondary schools such as Durham College, UOIT and Kings' College at the University of Western Ontario. The board also works closely with Canada Homestay International to provide international students with a place to live while in Durham - al- though some stay with family. Other supports offered to international students attending DCDSB schools include after-school tu- toring, English as a Sec- ond Language support classes and preparation classes for students plan- ning to write an Interna- tional Education Lan- guage Testing System ex- am. International students also have the opportunity to take part in activities and trips such as apple picking, visits to GTA col- leges and universities and the Durham Region Film Festival.

The worker was not in- jured and a suspect was ar- rested shortly after the in- cident, at a pharmacy on Dundas Street West on May 11, Durham police said. A suspect entered the drugstore at about 10:15 a.m. and produced a knife, then ordered the employee to open the narcotics safe, police said. The man in- structed the worker to lock the pharmacy doors, then ingested drugs in an appar- ent attempt to harm him- self, police said. After about two hours the suspect left, and police were called. Officers ar- rested a suspect at a resi- dence nearby; he was tak- en to hospital for treat- ment and released. The 43-year-old suspect, whose name was not re- leased, was held for a bail hearing on charges of rob- bery, forcible confinement and weapons possession.

The bestselling author of Book of Negroes spoke with students from across Durham during a visit to Uxbridge Secondary School on May 4. "I love to talk to young readers, they're smart, they're engaged, they're in- terested and they have a lot to say," Hill said of the stu- dents. "If you read a book you love when you're 15 or 17, you'll remember it forever. If you read a book you love when you're 30, you'll prob- ably forget it by the time you're 50. So to be read by teens is a real honour be- cause some might carry it with them like they're walking with a friend, they might carry that book with them forever, I know I have." The talk ranged from the business of writing to the craft itself, as well as Hill's inspiration for The Book of Negroes and how he approached the story. "I hope it demystifies the writing process so they can say 'he's just a normal guy, if he's writing then I can too,'" Hill explained of the presentation. "We tend to do things that seem within our reach, so if I can demystify the process they may feel more comfortable writing themselves." For the students who do wish to pursue writing Hill touched on some survival tips for succeeding in an arts field. "I advised them to think about how they are going to survive if they want to be a writer because you can't live off art for very long," he said. "You have to have a plan." For students the presen- tation was eye opening. "It was incredible, I can't put it into words," said stu- dent Kyrsten Blowing, who calls herself a "huge fan." "It changed my perspec- tive on things, especially how he was saying the sto- ry was his perspective on the ledger, I thought it was more just the history. It was nice to get inside his head and see what he was thinking when he wrote it." T Dan Amenta, head of history at USS, who teach- es Hill's novel regularly as part of his American histo- ry class, organized the event. "It was everything I could ask for, just to hear his comments and how he visualized the book, how he was able to incorporate fiction and history togeth- er to use the book as a vehi- cle for talking about slav- ery, racism and social jus- tice issues," Amenta said, noting they opened the event up to other schools from around the region so students who were espe- cially engaged in black studies and social justice issues could enjoy the lec- ture as well. "We wanted students to be inspired," Amenta explained. "We want them to be en- gaged in history and real- ize social injustice and eq- uity issues are still part of our daily lives. Reading is part of the process, but we need to do more and I hope this generation will be the ones to go out into the com- munity and do it."

OSHAWA - Charges have been laid against an Oshawa man accused of sexually assaulting a woman in an elevator then pursuing her as she at- tempted to escape. The incident began about 10:10 a.m. Monday, May 14, when a man fol- lowed a 30-year-old wom- an into an elevator in her building in the area of Taunton and Ritson roads, Durham police said. It's alleged that the man touched the woman inappropriately, police said. When the elevator doors opened, the woman fled down the hallway to- ward her apartment, but the suspect pursued her and tried to tackle her. The woman fought off the man and called police; the suspect fled. Officers were able to identify a suspect and ar- rested him at his resi- dence. Ricardo Melli- phant, 24, of Pentland Street, Oshawa, is charged with sexual as- sault and assault.

Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland COMMUNITY PICKERING - About a 1½ months before the reli- censing hearing for the Pickering Nuclear Gener- ating Station was set to take place in Courtice, the location has been moved to Pickering. The first part of the hearing already took place in Ottawa in April. The sec- ond was scheduled for June 26 to June 28 in Cour- tice. OPG is seeking a 10-year licence extension for the plant, which was sched- uled to close on Aug. 31, in order to operate the Picker- ing station until the end of 2024, followed by safe stor- age activities, such as re- moval of fuel and water, un- til 2028. Residents, anti-nuclear groups and some politi- cians questioned why the Courtice location was cho- sen. In an email to the Pick- ering News Advertiser, nu- clear regulator the Canadi- an Nuclear Safety Com- mission said it chose the lo- cation in Courtice after staff called local hotels, conference centres and recreation facilities and found they were not avail- able or didn't meet the re- quirements for the hear- ing. Pickering-Uxbridge MP Jennifer O'Connell ex- pressed her concerns to CNSC secretary Marc Le- Blanc in a letter on May 7. "I found the decision to host a meeting on the fu- ture of the PNGS in Cour- tice, Ontario, which is more than 30 kilometres away from the host com- munity, to be extremely shocking and inconsistent with the goal of ensuring that communities most af- fected can attend and share information," she said. In a letter responding to O'Connell on May 11, Le- Blanc said it was always the CNSC's goal to conduct the hearing in Pickering or as close as possible to Pick- ering, but reiterated the di- lemma of finding the ap- propriate space. "Following our conver- sation and several discus- sions with City of Picker- ing officials, the City of Pickering took measures to relocate several groups and provide the CNSC and OPG with the rooms need- ed so that the hearing could take place at the Pickering Recreation Complex," he said. "A revised notice of hearing will be published to this effect and will also be sent to the 150-plus hear- ing participants. Our sub- scribers and social media followers will also be in- formed of the change of lo- cation."

And while he lived in Scugog, Lishman, who died on Dec. 30, grew up in Pick- ering. The city is celebrating his legacy with A Lishman Celebration, the theme of this year's Artfest on the Esplanade on May 26. Artfest is put on by the PineRidge Arts Council, working with the city, in Esplanade Park. "Bill Lishman is an icon- ic artist," says Tanya Ryce, Pickering's supervisor, cul- tural services. "He was re- ally a renaissance man, such a huge personality." She notes that his first studio was the blacksmith shop at Pickering Museum Village. A Lishman Celebration is to feature art, film and sculptures by the late art- ist. As well, the city's hands on art activities at Artfest will be Lishman inspired and are to include dance, a collaborative winged mu- ral, a take-away tile activi- ty and a one-sentence story written by and for event participants. The Lishman exhibit opens at Artfest and will be indoors, next door at Pick- ering City Hall. While it runs to June 15, some works can only be seen on May 26. They are: The Lob- ster; The Cast Buffalo; Bronze Dancer 1 and 2; small Clay Cougar; and, small Steel Cougar. Also slated to be a part of the show are: Untitled, wood sculpture; The Sow; Tran- scending The Traffic - Rickshaw Rider; Self Por- trait; Marquette for Tran- scending Traffic; and, Wooden Canadian Goose. Members of the Lish- man family are slated to at- tend Artfest. In the park, the event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the free art event will feature the work of more than 120 artists showing and selling their work. And there's much for kids to enjoy, including mask-making with Picker- ing artist Janice McHaffie and cartooning with Whit- by artist Michael Jack. As well, Whitby's Sta- tion Gallery is presenting a hands-on activity at its SG Pop Up Studio and the Pick- ering Community Concert Band is performing in the gazebo. After the band plays, you can get an up close look at instruments at their instrument petting zoo. Esplanade Park is at One The Esplanade, near Valley Farm and Kingston roads, Pickering.

These toxic emotions of- ten negatively affect perfor- mance, health and happi- ness on multiple levels and in numerous ways. Most im- portantly, scientific studies show that chronic anger can be toxic to the brain and to the body. Frequent frustration re- flects on our ability to think, act and react coolly to game conditions. Anger, like anxi- ety, prevents us from being able to focus on the task at hand and make good deci- sions. Our body and mind go into a temporary form of pa- ralysis and blindness when we get too fired up. Lack of sleep, hunger, cheap shots, trash talk and mistakes (ours and the team), lack of success in competition and low self-es- teem can contribute to retal- iating, getting penalties and losing your cool. Let's not forget that chronic irritation expressed or suppressed is a major contributor to depression and anxiety. Once aroused, anger can last for a few minutes to sev- eral days. If not cleared quickly, it can accumulate and boil over at the slightest provocation. If we are going to play our best, we need to accept and be mindful of the inevitabili- ty of disappointment and employ effective coping strategies to protect our per- formance, confidence and happiness. Deep breathing is a natural and easy meth- od to lower the blood pres- sure, heart rate, clear the brain and relax the muscles. Accepting and express- ing your frustration to someone who has your back is often effective, liberating and reassuring. Positive self-statements distract us from the source of anger and at the same time keep our concentra- tion on the task at hand. Fo- cusing and repeating power words and phrases that have meaning to us, acceler- ate our ability to convert rage into constructive thinking and action. Practising proven practi- cal mental strategies on a daily basis on and off the field rewires the brain and body to work for us. The good news is that we don't have to suffer from anxiety, depression or slumps for long periods of time. We can change how we react to be a more resilient, positive and mentally tough competitor. –Dr. Douglas Smith is a licensed psychologist in Ontario specializing in sport psychology since 1985. Contact him at 905- 430-3538 or drdoug@pro- mind.ca; website www.pro- mind.ca Keeping your cool can vastly improve performance Columnist Doug Smith offers tips on dealing with anger and frustration OPINION DR DOUGLAS SMITH Column PICKERING - Look out Stephen Curry; here comes Pickering's Aiden Gill. Gill, a Grade 5 student at St. Monica Catholic School, recently drained 23 of 25 shots in the Knights of Columbus Free Throw competition, a 92 per cent clip that was only sur- passed in the National Bas- ketball Association this season by Curry, the star point guard of the Golden State Warriors. More relevant to Gill, the impressive perfor- mance was best in Ontario and Canada, and tied for second in North America. Gill, 10, won at the coun- cil, district and regional levels to reach the final round, where he went on a roll and missed only twice. Following his father's interest, Gill began to play basketball three years ago and his development has been exceptional. This sea- son, he played shooting guard with the Scarbor- ough Northern Knights under-12 team coached by Karim Grant, a former Na- tional Football League player. Supported by his par- ents, Lindsay and Stephen, Gill will join the Atlas Elite Performance Training pro- gram in Markham. Over the summer, he will work to improve specific skills such as dribbling and shooting. Gill has already enjoyed success on the courts. Along with numerous medals and trophies, he was a member of the team that won the three-on- three provincial tourna- ment conducted by Basket- ball Ontario in 2017. Looking down the road, he hopes for a future in competitive basketball. Following grade school at St. Monica, both parents see him in private school, preparing for the potential of a university scholarship. In the meantime, Gill will begin to play with his own age group in grades 7 and 8 and, as he says, "have fun shooting threes." Gill's performance will be recognized during a school assembly on Thurs- day, May 31. Aiden Gill, 10, sank 23 of 25 free throws in the final round of the Knights of Columbus free throw competition, one of the top scores in North America. He is a Grade 5 student at St. Monica Catholic School. Ron Pietroniro / Metroland Pickering's Aiden Gill shoots the lights out in free throw competition Top Shelf was just that in the Ajax Basketball League this season, winning both the regular season and play- off championship after a 56- 53 over Dickson's Printing. The final game was a close contest from start to finish, but balanced scoring was the key. Jose Rivas, Cle- ve Barclay and Roger Young all scored an even dozen in the win. Pat Roach and Claude Whitfield did the same for Dickson's. In the consolation final, North Alliance Press hung on for a 44-38 win over Mi- chael's Eatery. Tim Lane led NAP with 17 points while Calvin Simon tallied 19 for Michael's. Top Shelf fin- ished first in the regular season with a record of 12-4.

The action-packed weekend features racing from six series and a full- slate of family-friendly ac- tivities. Presented by Cas- trol, the weekend marks the start of racing season at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP), as the first of five major events. Highlights include the stock cars of the NASCAR Pinty's Series competing in the Clarington 200 and the exotic sports cars of the Pi- relli World Challenge Championship. The three- day event also features rac- es from the Ultra 94 Porsche GT3 Cup Chal- lenge Canada by Yokoha- ma, the Canadian Touring Car Championship pre- sented by Pirelli, the Nis- san Micra Cup Series and the Radical Challenge. "It's great to finally see we're into spring and get- ting our 57th year under- way with the Castrol, Vic- toria Day SpeedFest week- end," said Myles Brandt, president and general manager of CTMP, in a press release. "We've had a busy off-season and we're looking forward to what will be an exciting kickoff to our season of racing ac- tion, both on and off the track." Among the stories of particular interest to Dur- ham Region, Jeff Kingsley of Ajax will compete in the Porsche GT3 Cup Chal- lenge and Uxbridge's Aus- tin Riley in the Nissan Mi- cra Cup. Kingsley, 19, will make his Canadian debut in the series, racing a Porsche 911 GT3 for Policaro Motor- sports before a crowd that is expected to hit 40,000. "I've driven the track countless times in many different cars, however the speed of the Porsche will certainly add an exciting challenge," Kingsley said in a press release. Kingsley is making his way up the ranks in the rac- ing scene. He currently has 16 championships, 52 race wins, 29 pole positions, and 82 podium finishes throughout his young ca- reer. Riley, who just turned 19 on May 8, has earned in- ternational recognition for racing with autism. This is his second year in the Nis- san Micra Cup series, which will open its season with a 30-minute trial, a 30- minute qualifying session and two 40-minute races. Although the Victoria Day long weekend will see the first major racing of the year, there was activity at the track last month, when 17-year-old Harrison Bur- ton was behind the wheel of a Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports. He was testing the track in ad- vance of the season-ending Chevrolet Silverado 250 Aug. 24 to 26, when he will compete in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Se- ries. As always, there will be plenty for fans to see and do off-track during the major events, including the Cana- dian Tire Action Zone, CTMP Marketplace and driver autograph sessions. The traditional Victoria Day weekend fireworks display will be held on Sat- urday, May 19. Weekend tickets and camping passes are avail- able online for purchase starting at $50.
