DURHAM - The last time Khaqan Farid went to Pakistan to visit family, he wasn't able to speak or un- derstand much of the lan- guage. "My Urdu was broken ... it was hard to understand what people were saying," he says. But the next time he vis- its, Khaqan, 11, says he will be ready. "I'm speaking it a lot bet- ter now." For the past few years, he has been taking a free Urdu class offered by the Durham Catholic District School Board. The elementary lan- guage classes - which are offered on Saturdays dur- ing the school year, and on weekday mornings during the month of July - have been around for years. But interest is growing intensely as Durham Re- gion becomes more di- verse. This year, 940 students from kindergarten to Grade 8 are registered for the summer classes, an in- crease of about 200 stu- dents from last year. Fourteen languages are being taught between two sites - Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School in Whitby and St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering. The most popular clas- ses are Mandarin and Spanish. Others include Arabic, Bengali, Farsi, Polish, Tamil, Cantonese and Greek. "There's a need for this in the community," says Jim Wilson, principal at the DCDSB's Archbishop Anthony Meagher Catho- lic Continuing Education Centre. "It's a great oppor- tunity for families to pass their language and heri- tage on to the next genera- tion." On a recent summer morning, Uzma Danish stood at the front of her Ur- du class, writing letters on a white board as the 30 stu- dents in front of her shout- ed out the sounds that each one makes. She says some kids come to the class able to speak or understand a bit of the language, for others it's brand new. Almost all are unfamil- iar with reading and writ- ing Urdu. "The first thing I teach them, is that we write the language from the left hand side," says Danish, who has been teaching Ur- du with the DCDSB for about four years. "It's not an easy language to learn. Some letters even change shape as you connect them with others." Despite those tricky ele- ments, Sahar Hameed, 10, says she has fun learning Urdu. Her parents speak the language at home, and she was motivated to learn, so she could understand their conversations. "Now, I can eavesdrop on my parents," she says with a laugh. The DCDSB's interna- tional languages program is free and open to students from kindergarten to Grade 8, from any school board. Call 905-683-7713 for more information, or visit www.con-ed.ca.

Is this a sign of the fu- ture, with climate change and global warming heat- ing the atmosphere and waters, or was it an isolat- ed incident caused by a re- cent storm? Shawn-Patrick Stensil of Greenpeace Canada pointed to the former, say- ing warmer water will help create more algae and the impact will con- tinue to affect plant opera- tions. Neal Kelly, the director of media, issues and infor- mation management for OPG, said it's the latter. "This is an operational issue, not one of safety. It is also a rare event," Kelly stated. Stencil said warm wa- ter pumped out of the sta- tion along with phospho- ros effluent from the Duf- fin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant help create the algae. The Town of Ajax has also been pointing to the Duffin Creek plant and the phosphoros coming from it as the source of significant algae along its waterfront. "Climate change is go- ing to exacerbate the problem. Pickering and Darlington are heating the lake," Stensil said. Neither Pickering or Darlington have cooling towers, which are often used in nuclear reactors in the United States, so warm water feeds the al- gae and the "blooms en- danger the plant," Stensil noted. Nuclear operators use the cool, control and con- tain approach to operat- ing reactors, he said. "If they lose the ability to cool the plant, they had to shut the plant down." Stensil added. When OPG conducted an environmental assess- ment a few years ago, they had to acknowledge cli- mate change would im- pact the plant and they would have to cut output to ensure safe operations, Stensil said. "All nuclear stations have similar vulnerabili- ties. They need to cool the stations," he said. European nuclear op- erators are dealing with warm water affecting the operations of their facili- ties. Reactors in Nordic countries, such as Nor- way and Sweden, use sea water to cool the reactors. But, warmer weather means the water is too hot and power production has to be curbed. External risks are a hazard for all nuclear sta- tions, he said, pointing to the tsunami that struck the Fukushima nuclear station in Japan. "A tsunami won't hap- pen on the Great Lakes, but other external risks could happen. With cli- mate change, we see more extreme weather. Those will affect the plants," Stensil said. "It's playing itself out depending on where they are on the planet." The way the station was designed 40 years ago wouldn't be the same as today, he said. "The Pickering plant puts out hot water and the sewage plant was putting out phosphoros," he said. Neal argued, "Algae is an issue that all industry must deal with along the Great Lakes. Typically the problem is more prev- alent in the late summer or early fall when large amounts of algae enter the cooling water intake after large storms. "OPG's station systems are designed to collect or divert the algae to prevent impact on the operation of the station. Over the years the algae conditions have changed. This year the problem has appeared earlier in the summer due to a number of factors, in- cluding increased sun- shine, Zebra mussel popu- lation and higher lake temperatures to name a few," Kelly added. Zebra mussels filter the water and make it cleaner. That allows sun- shine to penetrate deeper in the water, warming it up and aiding in algae growth. "Climate change is con- tributing to the changes and at OPG we continue to investigate and discover if there are new or different ways we can implement to mitigate algae issues in the future," Kelly said. "OPG is a learning or- g anization, and the nucle- ar industry is one of the best at sharing operating experience," said Randy Lockwood, site vice presi- dent, Pickering Nuclear. "We also value the open di- alogue we have with our host communities, and work hard to minimize our environmental foot- print. So, we plan to share our lessons learned with our stakeholders, such as the Town of Ajax." Kelly said a similar in- cident is unlikely at the Darlington plant. "Picker- ing Nuclear has a differ- ent intake design than Darlington. At Pickering water is drawn from the lake surface versus Dar- lington that takes water from the lake bottom," he said. IS ALGAE THE NEW NUISANCE NEIGHBOUR FOR THE PICKERING NUCLEAR STATION? Large amounts of algae are growing along the Lake Ontario shoreline at Ajax Rotary Park. The Pickering nuclear station was recently shutdown when algae blocked water intake pipes. As the lake warms up with global warming, more algae will grow. Also, the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant is immediately east of the nuclear station.

Durham police were able to corral a vehicle be- fore it travelled the wrong way on Highway 401 dur- ing heavy traffic following a high-speed chase at about 8 p.m. Aug. 2. According to DRPS spokesperson Dave Selby, police officers were pre- paring to stop a suspected stolen vehicle in the Gar- den Street and Taunton Road area of Whitby when the vehicle began to travel at a high rate of speed southbound on Garden Street. Officers pursued the vehicle with lights and sirens. The vehicle then proceeded westbound on to Consumers Drive and side swiped the police cruiser that had pulled alongside it. Selby said the vehicle then turned left at the lights on Consumers where Hwy. 401 on-ramps and off-ramps intersect. The car was set to proceed on the off-ramp while travelling eastbound on to the westbound lanes be- fore being boxed in by po- lice officers who made an arrest. "(The vehicle) would have been travelling east- bound on the westbound lanes into heavy traffic if we hadn't stopped him," said Selby. As officers approached the vehicle to arrest the occupants, one passenger ran towards one officer in an attempt to flee the area. A physical struggle en- sued and the officer used a Taser to gain control of the man and make the ar- rest. An expandable baton was located on his person. Tee-Jay MacDonald- Dutton, 26, of Oxford Street in Oshawa is charged with: possession of a Schedule l Substance (crystal meth); possession of a Schedule ll Substance (marijuana); possession of break-in Instruments; and two counts of posses- sion of property obtained by crime under $5,000. William Tait, 27, of Com- merce Street in Pickering is charged with: danger- ous operation of a motor vehicle; possession of a Schedule l Substance (crystal meth); possession of a Schedule ll Substance (marijuana); possession of break-in Instruments; two counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000; two counts of failure to stop for police; driving while under suspension; driving a motor vehicle while li- quor readily available; and operation of a motor vehicle without Insur- ance. Brian Simpson-Fry, 33, of no fixed address (Oshawa) is charged with: assault of a police officer; assault with Intent to re- sist arrest; two counts of failure to comply with probation order; carrying a concealed weapon; pos- session of a Schedule l Substance (crystal meth); possession of a Schedule ll Substance (marijuana); possession of break-in In- struments; and two counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. All three suspects were held for bail hearings. Anyone with new infor- mation about this investi- g ation is asked to contact Constable Gendron of Central West Division at 1- 888-579-1520 ext. 1855. Anonymous informa- tion can be sent to Dur- ham Regional Crime Stop- pers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.durhamregional- crimestoppers.ca and tip- sters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward. 3 CHARGED FOLLOWING POLICE CHASE IN WHITBY Durham Regional Police pulled over a suspected stolen vehicle after a high-speed chase through Whitby on Aug. 2. The vehicle was stopped by police just prior to it entering the westbound lanes of Hwy. 401 while travelling eastbound.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY I was thinking, this morning, about the peo- ple who clean up the mess we humans leave behind. The ones who do our dirty jobs, the ones who tend to us in our moments of ab- ject panic, horror and misery. The ones whose lives are often defined by 2 a.m. phone calls, dinner parties left early and holi- days missed. People like my brother, Tim. Tim is a police officer. And like all police offi- cers, firefighters, para- medics and EMS workers, his "day at the office" is so unlike mine that we may as well live on different planets. As I write these words I am sitting on my deck, gazing at a lake whose glassy surface perfectly mirrors a breathtakingly azure sky, my attention occasionally drifting to the tiny bejeweled hum- mingbirds feeding on ei- ther side of me. There is no carnage in my world. People don't die on my watch. And the biggest mess I may have to deal with is a run-on sentence, an ill-fitting costume or a line of dialogue that I just can't get my mouth around. I don't say these things to denigrate what I do. I am proud of my work and I know it has value. But I get to do what I do, in large part, because others are taking on the messy stuff, the stuff the rest of us only write about or re-enact on television. I don't wade through gore in my job. People scream and shout from time to time, but never in any real pain or terror. It's usually nothing more than ego or the lunchtime chateaubriand being overcooked. I get nervous, now and then, in my work, even a little anxious occasional- ly, but I don't ever get real- ly scared -- the kind of scared that is so acute it leaves an odour. An odour that lingers in the uni- form of duty long after a shift is over. My world is safe and clean and largely pain- free. And it is this way be- cause I know that others will look after me should I need them. Others are working night and day to keep the mess well away from me and to clean it up should it find me. That's a debt I don't think I'll ever be able to repay. Neil Crone, actor, com- ic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this col- umn. THE PEOPLE WHO CLEAN UP OUR DAILY MESSES COLUMNIST NEIL CRONE IS THANKFUL FOR THE WORK HIS BROTHER DOES “I don’t wade through gore in my job. People scream and shout from time to time, but never in any real pain or terror.” – Neil Crone NEIL CRONE Column WE SHOULD NOT BEGRUDGE THE POOR THE HELP THEY NEED To the editor: I hear a lot of negative com- ments about people on ODSP and welfare. Now the provin- cial government is planning on revamping the way the money is allotted, again. People who receive govern- ment assistance are not spend- ing the money out of country or squirrelling it away. They are using this given money for food and rent, the money is go- ing right back into our econo- my. We should not begrudge them but be thankful if we are not needing help ourselves. MARGARET LINTOTT WHITBY CANADA NEEDS GUN CONTROL FOR HAND GUNS To the editor: This is a letter about the use and ownership of guns. Since the Conservative Ste- phen Harper government got rid of the long gun registry, there has been nothing put for- ward to replace it. That has got to change and we should set up another registry for small arms including hand guns. For a long time the people of this province have thought that most of the guns that fall into the criminal element were smuggled into this country. That is not the case. Barely half of the guns used by criminals are smuggled into this country from the U.S.! Most of them are legally owned by persons who purchase a dozen or so guns and sell them for a profit to the criminal element. This has got to stop or we will be just like the U.S. and mass shootings will become the norm. I have found out in the last few days that the gun lobby in Canada is just as strong as the gun lobby in America. The gun lobby in Canada wants to make our gun laws as obsolete and as risk-free as in the U.S. That is all on the previous Conservative government. Thank God we have the gun laws we do or we would be in the same boat as the U.S. Thank goodness it takes as many steps as it does to get a hand gun. Also thank goodness we have a vote on Bill C-42 coming up so that owning a gun will be much more difficult. RON HORNER OSHAWA SEX-ED CHANGES INFURI- ATE READER To the editor: I am appalled at the stealth and speed used by Doug Ford to push through his uncon- scionable destruction of the current sex-ed curriculum. It is irresponsible and dan- gerous to eliminate an up-to- date curriculum without pro- viding a replacement that cov- ers the issues that our kids will face. Accurate, modern sex and safety education gives kids the words, concepts and knowledge they need to de- fend themselves from preda- tors and abusers. The concept of consent being one of the most important - now gone. Doug Ford is ripping that knowledge out of kids' hands. I have a four-year-old daughter, and I am furious that the PCs are caving to the demands of a vocal, far-right minority. This repeal is a slap in the face to 20 years of progress and human rights. Shame on Ford and his cro- nies. I'm disgusted. What's next? Will people of colour have to ride at the back of the bus?

DURHAM - You may never get to visit Mars, but now is a great time to get a close-up look at our celes- tial neighbour. The red planet is as close to Earth as it gets - about 55 million kilometres, a stone's throw in planetary terms - and is putting on a dazzling show in the sum- mer night skies, according to Dr. Rupinder Brar, an as- trophysicist and associate teaching professor with the faculty of science at the University of Ontario Insti- tute of Technology. The planets' orbits are not perfect circles - they are more oval - meaning the distance between them var- ies depending on their trav- els through space, Brar ex- plained. Mars is generally visible with the naked eye, but at times like now it is even more so, he said. "Every once in a while those ovals line up really well, and we're at one of those points right now," said Brar. "It makes a big difference. Right now, Mars is five times brighter than it usually is." Brar recommends find- ing a space that's relatively free of light pollution - the Lake Ontario shore is ideal -and turning one's gaze skyward after 10 p.m. Mars is evident in the south- southeast sky. In fact, a number of planets are visible just now. Venus, our closest neigh- bour, is sparkling in the western sky, and to the south Jupiter can be seen. Saturn is also making an appearance in the south- eastern sky. "It's a good time to get out and remember what the night sky is like," said Brar. The proximity with Mars comes at a time when there's more interesting news about the planet, as scientists have confirmed the presence of liquid wa- ter, believed to be 1.5 km be- low an ice cap. There has long been speculation about the pres- ence of water on Mars - pre- viously it has been deter- mined there is ice, and there is evidence of former watercourses - but the lat- est announcement is signif- icant, said Brar. "This is the first observ- able evidence that liquid water is currently present on Mars," he said. "This is exciting for a number of reasons." Most thrilling for some is that water is universally regarded as necessary to sustain life. Although con- firmation of water does not equate to confirmation of life on Mars, Brar said it does advance the possibili- ty of colonization by hu- mans. And once the leap to Mars has been made, the knowledge and technology gained through the exer- cise could open up the uni- verse, he said. "Mars is interesting in that it's really going to be the stepping-stone to the rest of the solar system, and beyond," Brar said. Various governments and entrepreneurs are ac- tively working toward that goal, and Brar expects it to be achieved in the foresee- able future. "I expect humans on Mars in the next 10 to 15 years," he said. "I am an optimist." NEWS LOOK UP, DURHAM REGION: MARS IS PAYING A VISIT The discovery of Earthlike planets in a solar system relatively close to our own is an exciting development that offers promise for future research, said Rupinder Brar, an astrophysicist with the University of Ontario Institute of Technology's Faculty of Science.

Tradyo Turns Your Clutter Into Cash. Chat Call orText Lifejacket Posted by MikeToolGuy $15 Visit www.Tradyo.com UXBRIDGE - Anyone wanting to purchase patri- otically can get help at Made in Canada. The website, created by Uxbridge teen Tyler Camp- bell, compiles Canadian products and companies so consumers can make in- formed buying decisions. "I think Canadians are thinking a lot more, and talking a lot more, about what they're buying," Campbell said, saying he was "shocked" to hear of the tariffs imposed by U.S. Pres- ident Donald Trump. "I just wouldn't think the most powerful man in the world would do that, but it is Donald Trump," he said, shrugging. After the tariffs were an- nounced, and Canada made its own announcement of retaliatory tariffs, Camp- bell was discussing the situ- ation with his father and un- cle at a family birthday par- ty when the idea for Made in Canada was born. "We were all talking and we wanted to buy Canadian, but we weren't sure how," Campbell said, noting he couldn't find any definitive lists online, so they decided to make their own. The site, madeinca.ca, accepts submissions of Ca- nadian-made products or companies that manufac- ture in Canada; those sub- missions are then verified by either Campbell, his fa- ther or his uncle before be- ing posted. Campbell said he averages about six to eight hours a day working on the site, which has been flooded with submissions from visitors eager to help their mission. "We want people to think about what they're doing, even if we're not telling them what to buy. We're giv- ing you the option to think about it," he said of helping people to support Canadian businesses. "My grandparents were immigrants from Ireland; they ran their own business for more than 30 years. A lot of people come here to start businesses, and people form here start businesses, and I think there's not a lot of awareness of that, and peo- ple don't put much thought into what they're buying, so I hope this helps people sup- port local businesses." Since it launched in early July, Campbell and his fam- ily have been blown away by the response to the site, which has garnered nation- al media attention. "I thought it was really inventive, and Tyler is like that, so I wasn't surprised that he did this, but I've been surprised by the response," said Karen Campbell, moth- er of Tyler, who graduated from Port Perry High School in the spring. "At that age, I wouldn't have been so politically aware; and for him to look at something and identify such a positive response to what can be a pretty conten- tious issue is just amazing." The site currently has nearly 300 posts, re- presenting thousands of Ca- nadian products, with sub- missions continuing to pour in. Campbell said he plans to continue working on the site as he prepares to head to the University of Ottawa this fall. "We're going to keep add- ing as much as we can for as long as we can," he said of the website. "It's been enlightening how much people seem to care. It makes me happy to see what it means to peo- ple."

Ron Pietroniro / Metroland HOSPITAL HORSE POWER DURHAM - Almost two years to the day after being sworn in as Deputy Chief of the Durham regional police, Udaypal Jaswal is moving on to another job. Jaswal has resigned to take a position with the Ottawa Po- lice Service, according to the Durham Regional Police Ser- vices (DRPS) Board. "Deputy Chief Jaswal has been a valuable asset to the Durham Regional Police Ser- vice since his arrival two years ago," board chair Randy Wil- son said in a statement Aug. 1. "His leadership and commit- ment to partnerships earned him the confidence of the com- munity, the trust of the board, and the respect of the DRPS membership and his presence will be missed." Jaswal's departure will take effect in September 2018. The board will address the va- cancy created by the resigna- tion in close consultation with Police Chief Paul Martin.

But that's not what a team of UOIT students was looking for when they set out to create a game of their own. "We wanted couch play," explains Joss Moo-Young. "You and your buddies, sit- ting together in the same place, playing the same game." As it happens, Moo- Young is sitting on a couch with his buddies, as he ex- plains this. On the screen in front of them is PRIMEOPS, the game they built from scratch as part of the Game Development and Entre- preneurship program at UOIT. PRIMEOPS has won some big recognition for the Product of Primes team, which along with Moo-Young, is comprised of Danny Luk, Connor Smi- ley, Tom Tsiliopoulos and Jacky Yang. They recently scored the prestigious Technical Innovation Award at the Level Up Student Games Showcase in Toronto, an event that attracts thou- sands of people to check out games created by Ontario college and university stu- dents. "What set us apart, is that we did it without a game engine," says Smiley, referring to software that allows a game to be built more easily. "We didn't have anything doing the heavy lifting for us." PRIMEOPS is a two-to- four player game that sees skyscraper-sized robots face off armed with weap- ons like guns and missile launchers. The robots can be cus- tomized for battle and there are plenty of loud explo- sions as the destructible cityscape around them crumbles. "It's just about blasting things to bits," Moo-Young says with a smile. "We wanted to make something really fun and quick to pick up." Tsiliopoulos - the oldest member of the team and a professor of software engi- neering and interactive gaming at Centennial Col- lege - says it's been a unique experience to work with his younger teammates. "We bounce a lot of ideas off each other, and we're not afraid to be candid and say what we really think. That's important," he notes. In addition to being rec- ognized at Level Up, the Product of Primes team has been invited to showcase PRIMEOPS at the Gaming Garage at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition in late August. The team will also be travelling to Columbia to attend a specialized course on virtual reality and game development at the Univer- sidad Militar Nueva Grana- da. Yang credits the UOIT Game Development and Entrepreneurship pro- gram, with giving them the skills to create a winner. "Unlike other game de- velopment programs, where you focus on one as- pect of development and outsource the other roles, the (UOIT program) im- merses you in all aspects of development - gameplay, art and sound - which I be- lieve helped our game stand out at this event," he says. The Product of Primes team members are heading into the third year of the program this fall, and al- ready thinking about creat- ing their next game - with the hope of one day re- leasing something com- mercially. In the meantime, they're still having fun playing PRIMEOPS. "We're not sick of yet," Smiley says. NEWS GIANT ROBOTS DO BATTLE IN AWARD WINNING VIDEO GAME CREATED BY UOIT STUDENTS JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com Joss Moo-Young, Connor Smiley, and Tom Tsiliopoulos are three of the five members of a second-year UOIT Game Design student team. They recently won an award for their team's game 'Primeops', which they were more than happy to demonstrate and play collectively inside one of the graduate labs at UOIT on July 29.

That's the experience guests will have Aug. 18 at Feast of the Fields, a new event being hosted by Durham College's W. Galen Weston Centre for Food and Bis- tro '67 restaurant. Kelly O'Brian, general man- ager at the Centre for Food, says the event is part celebration of the field-to-fork concept, and part awareness raising. "We still hear people say, 'I didn't know you were open to the public.' We love what we do here, we really want to showcase it," she explains. "This is my third summer here, and when I look at the fields, I'm still blown away." Located in Whitby, the Centre for Food opened in 2013 and hous- es Durham College's programs in baking, culinary, food and farming, horticulture, hospitali- ty and special events manage- ment. The site is also home to a re- tail store called Pantry, and fine dining restaurant Bistro '67, both of which are open to the public. Outside fruits, vegetables and brightly coloured flowers grow in neatly tended fields. There is also a greenhouse, and a small orchard out front featuring five kinds of apples. "We grow everything from as- paragus to zucchini," says Ryan Cullen, field co-ordinator at the Centre for Food. "We work really closely with the chefs in the culi- nary program and the chefs at Bistro '67 to grow what they need. We're always trying new things." The current crop list includes everyday produce like potatoes, squash, carrots and herbs, as well as cut flowers, micro greens and unique varieties of herbs. At Feast of the Fields, six food stations will be located in the fields, allowing guests to try dishes like roasted corn on the cob with chipotle aioli, queso fresco and chives; right next to where the produce was picked. There will also be tours of the gardens led by students in the horticulture program, and bev- erage stations serving up drinks from local wineries, distillers and breweries. Tickets for Feast of the Fields are $40 in advance at www.event- brite.ca or $50 at the door.
