The poster, which can be found at LCBOs across the region and at grocery stores and municipal buildings in north Durham, is part of a Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) public education campaign designed to change driving behaviours before they lead to accidents, injuries, or worse. "We wanted something that would create more enduring change than just getting a ticket," said Const. Shawn Finley, who spearheaded the campaign through his role as chair of the north Durham traffic committee.

The Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade is hosting an Innovation Forum on Tuesday, Sept. 18, and it's a chance for owners to learn how to keep their business relevant and competitive. Those attending the daylong event will learn how their business can compete in a global mar- ketplace and how an inno- vative mindset will help them to implement new ideas and strategies need- ed to take their business to the next level. Among the speakers and topics will be Michael Husnik of Facebook talk- ing about Optimization Through Innovation; and how artificial intelli- gence can improve a busi- ness's competitive advan- tage, by Ali Hirji, project manager, A.I. Hub, Dur- ham College, and Amit Maraj, professor and re- searcher at Durham Col- lege. "The board of trade is and has been the voice of business in Ajax and Pickering for more than 60 years," said board pres- ident Christine Ashton. "Since we launched in 1955, the world has gotten a lot smaller, and busi- nesses are facing fast- paced changes, whether they be due to shifts in technology, government or consumer needs. We want to offer the business community tools and ide- as to innovate and be suc- cessful through periods of change." The forum will be held at the Ajax Convention Centre and will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information and to register, visit ap- boardoftrade.com.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM EDITORIAL LETTERS & COMMENTARY It was a situation as dramatic as it was traumatic. And if not for the diligent and selfless work of police and civilians, it could have resulted in a far different outcome from how things would eventually turn out on a rural Durham Region road in Uxbridge Township last week. Mitchell Ferris, 21, and his fiancé, Sarah Gauss, were returning home from a family function when they witnessed an oncoming car lose control and leave the roadway at about 9 p.m. on Sunday, July 29. The car had overturned and was submerged in a swamp by the side of Regional Road 13 in a rural part of the town- ship. "All I could hear was the kids inside, screaming," Ferris told Metroland's Durham courts/crime reporter Jeff Mitchell, two days after the harrowing accident. "It was completely upside down in a marsh," he said. "I could hear screaming from inside." A woman and two children were trapped inside the overturned vehicle and time was of the essence to get them out. Ferris waded into the water and desperately pounded on the vehicle's closed windows. More people arrived on scene and rushed to the car. A few minutes later two Durham police officers arrived. With the assistance of civilians, the officers were able to smash a window in the vehicle with police batons. Ferris and others on the scene tilted the car, so the police officers could gain access to the window. The female driver and a 12-year-old girl were freed, but a young boy remained trapped inside. Ferris and the others, their feet and legs mired in mud, continued to hold the vehicle up as police attempted to free the boy, who was finally pulled to safety. The officers, concerned for the safety of those who stopped to help, instructed the civilians to ease the car back down slowly. In the aftermath of the dramatic rescue effort, all occupants of the car were taken to hospital; police later reported there were no serious injuries. Ferris, Gauss and others are to be commended for taking it upon themselves to lend a hand and assist police in what can only be described as a harrowing, emotionally charged scene. There's little doubt their actions averted a potential tragedy. In our books, they are simply heroes. THOSE INVOLVED IN DRAMATIC RESCUE EFFORT WERE HEROES READER SENSITIVE TO MENTAL HEALTH STIGMA To the editor: I am saddened, as I am sure most people are, at the shooting on July 22 on Danforth Avenue. When a tragedy such as this happens, the impact is stronger than we may think. Studies show that chil- dren who have a homicide occur close to their neighbourhood have a cognitive decline four days before a test. We are resilient, however, and children who hear of a shooting four weeks be- fore a test score normal. Myself, I know I was a lit- tle antsy after hearing the bad news. Another impact is the stigma created when we try to understand how this could happen. Both the mass mur- ders on The Danforth on July 22 and the van inci- dent on Yonge Street on April 23 were done by men who had mental health issues. People look at this as the simple rea- son and most people will not put the blame as strongly on the perpetra- tors since they were known to be sick. It may or it may not re- duce stigma. Being schizophrenic, I am sen- sitive to knowing that there are people who do not fully understand mental illness and may discriminate. I am open about it in order for it to be less ta- boo. We should not look at those who have mental health issues any differ- ently than others. Most people who have a mental illness are as kind and thoughtful as the rest of us. We have to look at the people who commit these tragedies as an anomaly to the vast majority of Ca- nadians, and pray things will get better. BRAD HOGG OSHAWA MEASURES CAN BE TAKEN TO PREVENT KIDS FROM BEING LEFT IN CARS To the editor: Re: No good reason to leave children and pets in hot vehicles, editorial, July 12. I read this op-ed piece recently. Measures can be taken to prevent this. When a child is being driven in a car (he or she) is going somewhere. If it's daycare, the day- care should be informed if the child won't be there that day. If the child does not arrive at the precise time the parents should be called. This can all be arranged by parents and their daycare. Elementary and high schools phone parents if a child is absent. Why can't this happen with vulnerable children?

After being approved by trustees in January 2017, the Durham Catholic District School Board's Arts and Me- dia Program (AMP) official- ly starts in September at All Saints Catholic Secondary School in Whitby. About 300 Grade 7, 8 and 9 students are set to attend AMP this fall. Program majors include dance, dramatic arts, in- strumental music, media arts, visual arts and vocal music. AMP is a regional Grade 7 to 12 program, with stu- dents selected based on au- ditions. But the program isn't about choosing the most elite performers. "What we're looking for is passion and a desire to learn," says Faeron Pileggi, systems program co-ordina- tor for AMP. All Saints still offers a standard Grade 9 to 12 pro- gram for students who live within the school's bound- ary. At the beginning of Au- gust, about 130 students spent four days learning about AMP and checking out some sample classes at the program's summer camp - or "C-AMP" as it's called. Students snapped photos with cameras - "not cell- phones!" they exclaimed - and practised singing in harmony and trying some basic acting techniques. Among of them was Dan- iella Jones-Hamilton, 14, who is heading into AMP this fall. She will be focusing on media arts and hopes to one day be an architect or pho- tographer. "If you want to do arts in the future, I think this pro- gram will help prepare you," she says. "I've heard really good things about it ... I'm excited." AMP was approved by trustees after months of study to address declining enrolment at Whitby's two Catholic high schools. On that front, it's already a success story. All Saints has a capacity of 1,194 students, but had dropped to about 760 when AMP was approved, and was projected to fall below 700 by 2025 if action wasn't taken. Now, principal Chris Cuddy says the school's total enrolment for 2018/2019 will sit at about 1,100. "It's a huge jump," he says. "In another year, we should be at full capacity." Johnny Soln, the Dur- ham Catholic District School Board's (DCDSB) curriculum chair for the arts and a drama teacher with AMP, says the num- bers speak to the fact that this program was needed. "There was a lot of de- mand for arts education in Durham Region - but also for 21st century media edu- cation, and this program has both," he notes. The DCDSB budgeted about $3 million to renovate All Saints for AMP, includ- ing a new 350-seat theatre, updated instrumental and vocal music rooms, a new dance studio, music prac- tice areas and a media arts lab and studio. Entry into AMP takes place in grades 7 and 9 - cur- rent Grade 6 and 8 students will soon be able to apply for a September 2019 start. Online applications open Oct. 15 and a free audition workshop will be offered Oct. 27. Auditions for next year are scheduled to take place in January 2019.

David, 12, is a newcomer to Canada and speaks only a few words of English. Spena, his teacher, asks "How is your day going?" speaking into her cell- phone. With a tap on the screen, Google Translate flips her words into Mandarin, for David to read. "Good," he answers, with a shy smile. He is one of 100 students taking part in a new pilot program being offered by the Durham District School Board this summer. The four-week program is open to students in grades 1 to 5 who are new- comers to Canada as well as English Language Learn- ers (ELL) - meaning their first language is something other than English. Students work on lan- guage and literacy skills in small class settings, and go on outings to places like the library, bowling and mov- ies. In addition to preventing learning gaps that happen over the summer, officials say the pilot program gives ELL students a chance to connect with each other. "At their school, some of them may be the only ELL student in their class. But here, they don't feel differ- ent," says Erin Elmhurst, the DDSB's education offi- cer for English as a second language and English liter- acy development. At West Lynde Public School in Whitby where the summer program is taking place, there are eight clas- ses of students - they're di- vided up in terms of English ability. Students in Spena's class have the least amount of English. To bridge the communi- cation gap, there is Google Translate, flash cards, drawings and lots of gestur- ing. Students learn mostly through play. At one table, a group of girls thread letter beads on- to pipe cleaners, spelling their names or simple sight words. Others are using letter stickers and stamps, easy reader books, play doh and markers to practice words. "It's very challenging, but we set really high stan- dards for them to meet," Spena says. For example, Tmnit Ase- fa, 8, spoke only Tigrinya when her family arrived in Canada last summer, via Eritrea and Ethiopia. After working through the school year and now in the summer program, huge gains have been made. "At first, she had zero English. Now she under- stands what we're saying. She's speaking in sentenc- es, using words like 'and' and 'because,'" Spena says. Staff are doing pre and post assessments of the stu- dents to determine how the pilot program impacts their skills. If it is successful and there is funding available, Elmhurst says the goal is to offer it in future summers.

Christie McLardie's life changed on Sept. 15, 2016. At the time she was working as the manager of public and strategic affairs for the Town of Ajax and she was participating in a social work event, a softball game played at the Pan Am ball- park in Ajax. Her team had made it to the finals and McLardie was in the rover position right beside the pitcher when she was hit by a line drive, a direct high- speed impact. "I was hit on the right side of my head - I don't remem- ber much and a lot of trau- matic brain injury people don't remember immediate times (before the hit) - but what would have happened is as that line drive was com- ing and I knew I wouldn't be able to react and catch the ball so I must have turned my head and as I turned my head the line drive hit me smack in the temporal area of the right side of my brain." McLardie immediately fell and staff called 911. "What happened that was visual for the paramedics to know that it was serious was when they came is I had lost my speech and I couldn't feel my left hand and I couldn't feel the left side of my face." Based on those symp- toms she was rushed to the Ajax hospital where she was assessed and then immedi- ately transferred to St. Mi- chael's Hospital in Toronto, a trauma centre. McLardie underwent surgery, a craniotomy where they took a portion of her skull bone to address brain bleeding including two hematomas and to re- move shattered bone frag- ments. A portion of her skull, the size of the palm of one's hand, was replaced by titanium and she ended up with 70 staples on her head when she came out of sur- gery. As a result of her injury she had significant weak- ness on her left side result- ing in difficulty walking and her speech was slurred and hard to understand. Cogni- tively she could understand what was happening. "I was slow, but Christie was there, I was just a lot slower," she said. "What was not there and is still not here today is a lot of my ability to process information, you can talk to me fine and I can answer you right back but if I had to read something and tell you about it, it's different because I'm taking in that in- formation." McLardie would spend about six weeks in hospital, the majority of it at Bridge- port Active Healthcare, a To- ronto rehab hospital fol- lowed by three months as an outpatient at Lakeridge Health's Ambulatory Reha- bilitation Centre at Whitby hospital. Her recovery continues with therapy through WSIB since her injury occurred at a work event. "On a daily basis I have to have naps, I'm still tired to this day, I'm going to therapy three times a week - that's physical therapy - I still do occupational therapy," she said, adding she's not driv- ing due to the medication she's on. "On top of that, I still have fractures that haven't fused in my skull, so there's a lot of pain I have in my head." She's received support from the community, in- cluding neighbours and members of the sports com- munity as well as her family including her mother who has travelled from Nova Sco- tia to act as her primary caregiver for the past two years. Emotionally, it's been a long journey. "You're in shock for a long time, that shock turns to complacency and you feel like this is it," she said. "Then you go into that anger mode, why is this happening to me and then you go into a mourning so it's like you mourn the old self, and then after that - and this is where I'm at right now - I'm into ac- ceptance and that journey to acceptance has taken me to almost two years." When McLardie's injury occurred she was successful professionally, busy with athletics with her two sons and on the cusp of turning 40. "I was in a great spot turning 40 and when you go through what I did, you mourn that because you think that that can't happen again, I mourned that Chris- tie," she said. "You begin to see you have to let that go, you have to let that Christie go and you have to realize you are who you are now and you can be just as suc- cessful if you have accep- tance of what your current deficits are and I clearly know what my current def- icits are." McLardie is not alone. Linda Lowery, chairper- son of Heads Up! Durham a community organization fo- cused on awareness and pre- vention of brain injuries, ex- plains that brain injury is the number 1 cause of death and disabilities in people un- der the age of 44 in Canada and 30 per cent of all brain injuries are suffered by chil- dren. Brain Injury Canada esti- mates 1.5 million Canadians have an acquired brain inju- ry. The most common causes are car accidents, as well as falls, sports injures and assault. "Acquired brain injury is a greater incidence than spi- nal cord injury, breast can- cer and HIV-AIDS combined annually," said Lowery, whose son suffered a trau- matic brain injury in 2008 af- ter he was hit by a vehicle while long boarding. Heads Up! Durham works with local school boards and the health de- partment to raise awareness including conducting con- cussion awareness sessions. McLardie is ready to share her story and is looking to reach out to oth- ers who have suffered simi- lar injuries. She's also dis- cussing the challenges she continues to face. She hopes to go back to work soon, first on a part- time basis and said she has received great support from the Town of Ajax, her em- ployer, and WSIB and she will be returning with a new perspective. "In my workplace acces- sibility and disability issues were so important and so forefront and sometimes you really didn't get it or un- derstand it, but when you're in this situation you finally get it." She recently met with a young boy who suffered a stroke who is going through many of the same things McLardie went through. "Now you've gone through this and you can communicate this and share this with people, you can help people, I was always that person anyways but I think now I have something very concrete and very spe- cial to share," she said. DURHAM WOMAN SHARES STORY OF RECOVERY FROM TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durham region.com WELLNESS Oshawa resident Christie McLardie and the Town of Ajax's public and strategic affairs manager suffered a brain injury two years ago and is sharing her recovery story and talking about the impact the injury has had on her life.

Those big four include impaired driving, distract- ed driving, aggressive driv- ing such as speeding, and no seatbelts, which are col- lectively the leading causes of traffic collisions. According to the DRPS's Traffic Services Branch Roadway Safety Strategy 2017-2019, one motor vehi- cle collision occurs every 48 minutes within Durham Region, with an average of one person injured every five hours in collisions on the region's roads. "We want people to think about the controlla- ble behaviours that lead to these accidents, maybe if it's at the forefront of their brains instead of thinking 'Hey, I better slow down or I'll get a ticket,' they might think 'Hey, I better slow down or someone might get hurt,'" Finley said. "We're trying to address that there's something more fundamental in terms of the driving beha- viour itself and how people perceive driving. We're try- ing to make an impact and change the actual beha- viours that lead to these ac- cidents." Across the region since 2012 there has been a two per cent increase in per- sonal injury collisions and a 33 per cent increase in fa- tal collisions. Of those fatal collisions, 37 per cent are related to distracted driv- ing. In 2015 DRPS laid more than 700 impaired driving charges, with 166 collisions related to impaired driv- ing, 22 of which resulted in personal injury and four ending in fatalities. Of the more than 700 charges laid, 224 were the result of 911 calls from concerned citi- zens reporting suspected impaired drivers. That same year police charged 2,705 drivers with distracted driving, issued more than 2,500 tickets for speed-related offences and charged 84 drivers with racing a motor vehicle. Despite the tickets and cautions handed out, 11 fa- tal collisions were linked to aggressive driving in 2015. The Big Four campaign began in north Durham in 2015 as a two-part initiative that included the public ed- ucation campaign, with posters installed at rotat- ing community locations, and an accompanying bro- chure handed out to driv- ers receiving tickets or traffic cautions. "Traffic concerns take up a higher percentage of our calls for service than any other division in the region," said Staff-Sgt. Co- lin Shaw, of North Divi- sion. About 35 per cent of the calls for service in North Division are traffic-relat- ed. The division also covers the largest area, in square kilometres, of any division in the region, and includes major routes to cottage country. Calls range from reporting collisions to speeding complaints, com- mercial vehicle concerns and just general driving complaints, which come in from citizens, from the po- litical arena and are also posted on social media in- cluding Facebook and Twitter. "Whatever media we get a complaint from, we want to address every com- plaint," Shaw said. In 2016 the division saw 156 motor vehicle collisions resulting in personal inju- ry, and six that involved fa- talities. In 2017 there were 128 accidents involving per- sonal injuries, and two with fatalities. "There's an awful lot of traffic moving through the area, so certainly when it comes to roadway safety and the top four killers, it's another way to get the mes- sage out there to people to refrain from these beha- viours," Shaw said. "It's important to edu- cate the public so they un- derstand texting and driv- ing is killing people, it's raising the possibility of an accident. We don't want to wait for someone to have an accident before we deal with the fact they were speeding, drinking and driving or texting and driv- ing." The practice of handing out a brochure with all tickets has since expanded regionwide, and the wider public education cam- paign, which was updated this year, could follow. "It's a pilot project right now," Shaw continued. "We're trying to see what the success level is and how many people we're reaching by putting these signs up." The initiative holds spe- cial meaning for Finley, who covers North Division in his patrol duties. "I wanted to go into the community and do some- thing that directly contrib- utes to the well-being of the citizens," he explained. "This is my patrol zone, so it's become something de- veloped up here, it's unique in north Durham." Finley said he would be happy to see the project ex- pand within the region if it helps drivers look at dan- gers in a more personal way. "We're trying to be inno- vative in our approach to something that character- istically has gone on since the beginning of driving," he said. "There's always going to be that mindset that acci- dents will happen to some- one else, not to me. We're trying to get people to real- ize with these statistics that any one of those things can happen when you're doing that driving beha- viour. We want them to see it can happen, and that change needs to come from them." The officer said he is hopeful police will start to see that change in their fu- ture roadway statistics. "I hope it leads to endur- ing change and that we cre- ate buy-in within the com- munity," he said. "I want that education to lead to something that stays longer than just the effects of a traffic tickets by itself. I hope we're helping to shape people's driving behaviour in a positive way."

TM Keep your fingers crossed for cloudless skies this weekend, be- cause all other factors for view- ing the Perseid meteor showers should be perfect. Shooting stars of the annual Perseids - bits of space debris left behind by comet Swift-Tuttle - have been burning up in Earth's atmosphere for more than a week already, so it's worth watching on any clear night. But the peak should come Saturday night/Sunday morn- ing, Aug. 12/13, or second best, Friday night/Saturday morning, which happen at the dark of the moon. Definitely worth staying up late or getting up early for a star- gazing fest, hopefully far from city lights! But some Perseids are so bright they can be seen in the urban ambient glow. Pick an open area with lots of sky, where trees, hills or dark buildings block out all lights, then lie back in a lawn chair and look up. Your eyes take about half an hour to see well in the dark, so don't turn on your flashlight, headlights or hand-held device or you'll have to start over. Though the Perseids general- ly emanate from the constella- tion Perseus in the northeastern sky, against the Milky Way be- tween the big W of Cassiopeia and the Seven Sisters cluster, the Ple- iades, you might see them any- where up there. Some are differ- ent colours, some are fireballs, some leave a glowing trail. Some "earthgrazers" plow slowly across the sky right over your head. And while you're waiting for falling stars, you can watch bright Venus and brilliant Jupi- ter set in the west, and silvery Saturn and fiery Mars float all across the southern sky. The farthest celestial object visible from earth with the naked eye is the Andromeda galaxy, ap- pearing as a smudge of light on a moonless night. The more deeply notched V of Cassiopeia's W points like an arrow straight to it. It's worth checking out this giant spiral galaxy with its trillion stars, the closest to our own smaller Milky Way, because grav- ity is drawing us together at a rate of 402,000 kilometres per hour, and in four billion years it's predicted we'll merge with it. What a light show that will be! –Nature queries: mcarney@in- terlinks.net or 905-725-2116. LOOK WAY UP THIS WEEKEND OPINION NATURE WRITER MARGARET CARNEY WILL BE GAZING AT THE HEAVENS FOR METEORS MARGARET CARNEY Column DURHAM - Durham cops have arrested a man they believe to be behind the theft of two collectible cars from a Scugog business, but have yet to recover the vehicles. Officers observed a stolen tow truck parked in a lot by Cedar Street and Wentworth Street West in Oshawa around 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 6 and found a man sleep- ing inside. The man was arrested by the cops, who also said the ve- hicle attached to the tow truck - a Cadillac - was also stolen. Further investigation led po- lice to believe the driver of the tow truck was also involved in the theft of two collectible cars from a Port Perry business. On Aug. 2, a red 2008 Corvette and black 1969 Ford Torino were sto- len from the business located just west of Port Perry. Those two ve- hicles have yet to be located, say police. George Maxwell, 47, of Balsam Lake Road in the City of Kawar- tha Lakes has been charged with three counts of theft of a motor vehicle, three counts of posses- sion of stolen property over $5,000 and three counts of driving while disqualified. He was also charged for breaching his proba- tion and held for a bail hearing. Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact Det.-Cont. Brown at 905-579-1520, extension 2675.

After nearly 50 years fronting onto Simcoe Street North, the Simcoe Building is being demol- ished. Work started July 16 and is expected to take about a month. Originally built as a temporary structure and opened in 1969, it was the first building on the col- lege's Oshawa campus. Over the years, the Simcoe Building has housed everything from classrooms and offices, to a cafeteria, workshops and computer labs. But, the building is showing its age. "It's not suitable for our needs today, and it re- quires a lot of repairs, ex- plains Durham College president Don Lovisa. "It's time for it to come down." When the school an- nounced two years ago that the building would be demolished, Lovisa says he immediately began re- ceiving emails from peo- ple sharing their memo- ries of the space. Durham College is holding onto some of the Simcoe Building by using pieces of the building's stone facade as a feature entrance wall inside the school's new Centre for Collaborative Education (CFCE), set to open in Sep- tember. Lovisa says additional stones may also be used for a fireplace. "This preserves some of that history for people who want to remember the great times they had in the Simcoe Building," he says. Past and present Dur- ham College students and staff have shared memo- ries of the Simcoe Build- ing on social media, in- cluding favourite foods from the cafeteria, con- certs and study dates. Lovisa says he isn't sad about the demolition - in- stead he's focusing on the future, in particular the opening of the CFCE, which also fronts onto Simcoe Street North and will "really change the streetscape" he says. The 75,000-square-foot building will house class- rooms, simulation labs and an anatomy and phys- iology lab, as well as a full- service spa to support stu- dents in programs such as massage therapy. The CFCE will also be home to the FastStart pro- gram, First Peoples Indig- enous Centre and the Of- f ice of Student Diversity, Inclusion and Transi- tions. The space where the Simcoe Building once stood, will become Dur- ham College's new geo- thermal field, which will be used to heat and cool the Gordon Willey Build- ing. DURHAM COLLEGE'S FIRST AND OLDEST BUILDING IS BEING DEMOLISHED LEFT: The demolition of the almost 50-year-old Simcoe Building got underway. RIGHT: Durham College President Don Lovisa got an early start on the demolition.

WHITBY - Investiga- tors have updated the sus- pect description for a man believed to have confront- ed a Whitby woman wear- ing a hijab last week. The suspect is now de- scribed as man with a tanned complexion, about five-foot-five, between 50 to 60 years old, a bald spot on the top of his head, clean shaven and last seen wearing a light green shirt, dark pants and reading glasses. The sus- pect had a thick accent. The incident occurred just before 11 a.m. on July 31 while the 31-year-old woman was walking to her car that was parked on the north side of Campbell Street in Brooklin. Police say she was approached by a man who began shouting obscenities at her and demanding she re- move her hijab. He then continued eastbound to- ward the CIBC bank. The woman returned to her ve- hicle and drove past the man, warning him she was going to call the po- lice. He quickened his pace, heading westbound on Campbell Street on the south side sidewalk. Anyone with informa- tion, video or cellphone photos to assist in this in- vestigation is asked to contact Central West Divi- sion at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1825.

Ryan Pfeiffer/Metroland MUSIC OSHAWA - Simcoe Hall Settlement House is asking the community to help set- up Durham's kids in need for a successful school year by donating to the annual backpack program. Backpack program co- ordinator Pat Savage ex- plains Simcoe Hall volun- teers are hoping to pack 670 backpacks filled with grade- appropriate school supplies that will be donated to local kids in Oshawa, Whitby, Clarington and other areas of Durham. "We've got 451 packaged but we have at least another 250 to do so we're running low on some of the items I know we'll need," she said. Among the much needed items are backpacks for the oldest and youngest stu- dents. "What we need is for the high school students, the bigger stronger bags and for the youngest, JK to Grade 2, they like the theme bags, the cutesy bags." Last year Simcoe Hall gave out 639 backpacks and Savage said the number seems to grow every year. When she started working on the program 10 years ago, they distributed 67 back- packs and Savage said the backpacks are always well- received by the kids. "They're just ecstatic be- cause they're coming out to pick this out themselves, they're excited about getting back into the school year." It's not too late for fami- lies in need to sign up for the program and they can do so by calling Simcoe Hall at 905-728-7525. Donations should be dropped off by Aug. 15 at 387 Simcoe St. S. and distribu- tion starts after Aug. 20. Call Simcoe Hall Settlement House for more information or e-mail Savage at patsava- gesimcoehall@gmail.com. Most needed items: 24 crayon packs, duo tangs, loose-leaf paper packs, 10 washable marker packs, 24 pencil crayon packs, 1.5-inch binders, pink or white eras- ers, four-highlighter packs, pens. Running low: glue sticks, blunt-nose scissors, coil scribbler notebooks, stapled notebooks, rulers, divider sets, one-inch binders, red pens and pencils. Nice to have: pencil sharpeners, pencil cases, calculators, memory sticks and lunch bags.

Spending hours on end in front of the computer or the TV is highly taxing for your eyes, and overstraining your peepers can trigger a host of unpleasant effects. Here are a few best practices when it comes to safe screen use. • Blink. Humans blink an average of twelve times per minute, but intense concentra- tion brings that frequency down to five. Consciously remind yourself to blink once in a while during periods of increased focus to avoid ending up with dry eyes. • Adjust your lighting. Avoid looking at screens in dimly lit spaces: the harsh contrast between the bright display and the surrounding darkness takes its toll on your vision. • Eliminate glare. Don’t let any light shine directly on a screen that’s in use. This cre- ates an annoying glare that forces your eyes to constantly refocus. • Take breaks. Keep the 20-20-20 rule in mind any time you find yourself in front of a screen for an extended period. The idea: every 20 minutes, focus your gaze on a spot that’s 20 feet away and hold it for 20 seconds. This relaxes the muscles that your eyes use to focus. • Position your screen adequately. When you sit at your desk, the top of your computer screen should be at eye level and there should be an arm’s length of space between you and the monitor. Similarly, for watching TV a good rule of thumb is to sit four screen widths away. • Only wear glasses when needed. Because you look at screens and books from a different distance, your reading glasses might not be suitable for computer work. 3 LOCATIONS FORQUALITY & CHOICE book your bACk TO SCHOOL exams AJAX OPTICAL 905-683-7235 Heritage market square, 145 kingston rd. e., unit 7 AJAX OPTICAL 905-683-2888 56 Harwood ave. s., ajax Plaza PICkERING OPTICAL 905-839-9244 1360 kingston rd., Pickering (Hub Plaza) ajaxOptical In Canada, 20 per cent of all cases of diabetes go undiagnosed. Diabe- tes, of course, is what we call it when a human body doesn’t produce enough insulin, an important hormone that helps us break down sug- ars. This August, for National Eye Exam Month, take a moment to think about getting your eyes examined — particularly if you have or are at risk for diabetes. How does diabetes affect my eyes? One potential symptom of diabe- tes is diabetic retinopathy, and it’s screened for in a standard eye exam. Diabetes takes a toll on your blood vessels. Diabetic retinopathy is what we call it when the blood vessels in your eye are weakened or swollen What’s the connection between diabetes and your eyes? as a side effect of the damage diabetes does to your body. How can I tell if I have diabetic retinopathy? Luckily, the blood vessels inside of your eye are easily visible during a dilation exam by your local ophthalmologist. When your doctor dilates your eyes and shines a light in them, he or she is looking at the retina in the back of your eye and, amongst other things, the blood vessels that are visible there to see if there are any signs of damage. This August, plan on visiting your local eye specialist for a quick and easy exam that can help you prevent the worst effects of diabetes. 21 | New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , A u g u s t 9 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m ARTS Visit durhamregion.com for more coverage Feature photo above: Tessa Waugh, left, Lila Waugh, middle, and Zoe Lee watched Opera Pops Plus, featuring a Tribute to Broadway, as they opened up Oshawa's Concerts in the Park series at Memorial Park July 3.

Previously, I examined the solid golden era of jazz and the movies which ex- isted during a 10-year span, starting in 1955 and, roughly speaking, ending with the late 1960s. But one name I overlooked and is unequivocally deserving of recognition that places him right up at the of the list is Henry Mancini (1924-1994). Worldwide, he is best known for such songs as Peter Gunn, Mr. Lucky, Moon River, Cha- rade, The Pink Panther Theme, Two For The Road and Love Theme From Ro- meo And Juliet. . Fallout!, not Peter Gunn, was the initial sin- gle release. From the TV series which first appeared in September 1958, lasting three seasons. Fallout! set the right atmosphere at the beginning of the show and demonstrated just how much Mancini's mu- sic accentuated the excite- ment of Peter Gunn. Out- standing cover version: Fallout! by Ray Ellis (MGM 12874) 1959. .Gunn spent a lot of time at a nightclub called Mother's, where his girl- friend Edie (Lola Al- bright, 1924-2017) sang. This premise lent to lots of background jazz music on the show, includ- ing appearances by Shelly Manne and his group, such as on the episode Keep Smiling, broadcast March 23, 1959. .Plas Johnson's saxo- phone abilities were used to great effect on Spook! and The Pink Panther Theme. Other personnel on the Peter Gunn sessions re- corded Aug. 26 and 31 and Sept. 4 and 29, 1958: Shelly Manne, Victor Feldman, Dick Nash and future film composer icon John Wil- liams (liner notes refers to him as pianist Johnny T. Williams). .Henry Mancini, who used a rock 'n' roll beat for its raucous theme, said this about Peter Gunn: "I used guitar and pia- no in unison, playing what is known as ostinato, which means obstinate. It was sustained throughout the piece by giving it a sin- ister effect, with some frightening saxophone sounds and some shouting brass. The piece has one chord throughout and a super-simple top line. It has been played through- out the years by school marching bands as well as rock bands throughout the world. The synth group The Art Of Noise had a major hit with it in 1987. Never has so much been made of so little." Original milestone al- bums: The Music From Peter Gunn (RCA-Victor LPM-1956) recorded 1958, released 1959. More Music From Pe- ter Gunn (RCA-Victor LPM-2040) recorded 1958, released 1959. Classic jazz albums helped move a greater number of stereo record players from the shelves as many buyers sought to appreciate the sound even more. RCA put out a spe- cial issue of the LP (#LSP-1956 RE 2) for own- ers of their stereo-ortho- phonic hi-fi phonographs. An album titled Dream Of You will please fans of Mancini since it is crammed with highlights of Mancini's big band and jazz roots. – Andrew Merey is a Whitby resident who's interested in music and movie history.

The experience? I certainly liked the taste of wine. I knew that there was a general mystique at- tached with wine, and I was interested in other parts of the world. However, there was no one answer. If, for example, I was only interested in the actual tast- ing and analyzing of that beverage, chances are I would not have gone very far. Seeing, swirling, sniff- ing, sipping, sloshing, swal- lowing and then spitting in- to a spittoon as a regular and only feature of wine would have not gone on for long! There had to be more. What captivated me with wine was a cornucopia of things. Initially it was the desire to be involved with something captivating and mysteriously special. I would go to the movies and watch Sean Connery in his tux sit down and casually order a bottle of Mouton Rothschild '53 or a Taittin- ger Blanc de Blancs Brut. It would be cool to do that I thought. Once I started buying and collecting on that prem- ise I said to myself that I should truly know more. At that time there were not many books on the market, so I bought myself New York Times columnist Terry Ro- bards' Book of Wine pub- lished in 1976. When we drink a glass of wine we honour those who cultivated the vines, those who picked the grapes and winemakers who made it. Wine continues to bring people together. When you open that bottle of wine and sip the nectar, think about those who grew the vines, laboured in the fields and made it. Think about the cir- cumstances going on around the world when it was made, and think about your own history. Think about the wonders of life. –Chuck Byers is a wine writer and consultant with –more than 35 years of experience in the wine industry and is a member of The Wine Writers' Circle of Canada.

A 17-year-old Markham resident, Young didn't ex- actly take a shine to the sport right off the bat when he was brought to the Ajax Budokan Judo Club by his mom, Carlene, some five years ago. But, he has risen to re- markable heights in rela- tively short period of time: Now the No. 1 judoka in the world in the Youth Olympic Rankings for the under-73- kilogram weight class. He has done so despite a frustrating start. "It was pretty boring at first. I was so bad, I would just get thrown all the time, and that's never fun," he admitted. "Every fight, say I get thrown 10 times, next time I'll get thrown nine times, and then I just kept going down until I started throwing other people. It wasn't a slow progression, but it definitely took time to get there." Young was brought to the Ajax club because that's where his mom learned the sport, and where she now also helps out as a coach. Founded by William Do- herty in 1964, the club is run by his sons, Karl, the president, and Kevin, the head instructor, out of the Ajax Community Centre. Young works most closely with coach Mark Welsh, whom he says is similar to him in that he's short and fought in heavier weight di- visions. "There are amazing coaches there," says Young, who is five-foot-five-inches tall and 160 pounds. "There's something about Ajax, it's just perfect for me to be there." The club has certainly managed to get the most out of Young so far. A five time national champion as a cadet (under-18), he's also making his presence felt on the international scene, in- cluding most recently win- ning gold in cadet and bronze in junior (under-21) at the Pan American Ju- nior Championships in Ar- gentina. "I've gone to Pan Ams three times for U18 and I had a third and a second, I'd never won, so that was pretty cool to be able win," he said. "And junior, U21, I was really surprised be- cause that day my coaches told me I had already done the hard job of winning U18, so I should just relax that day and see what hap- pens ... I did way better than I expected." Heading into Grade 12 at Pierre Elliott Trudeau High School, Young says he was previously reluctant to move to Montreal to join the national program, but recognizes that's likely go- ing to be the best way of reaching his ultimate goal: The Olympics. For now, however, he will focus his attention on the Youth Olympics, being held in Buenos Aires in Oc- tober. "He is extremely spe- cial," Karl Doherty says of Young. "You don't get an athlete like this too often. He is so athletic, it's incred- ible. If he decided to play football, he'd be the best football player; if he decid- ed to play baseball, he'd be the best." As for the Olympics, while not ruling out the 2020 Tokyo Games, Doher- ty said Young might be too young to target Japan. But beyond that? "Oh yeah, absolutely," he quickly answered.

Sabrina Byrnes / Metroland There are several differ- ent methods of mental training for sports, and all of them have different results. The first method is read- ing books. Some people love to read books and find they are useful adjuncts to learn- ing how to master their mind for sport. My experi- ence with all the books on mental training is that they are interesting to read but difficult to put into practice because the stories do not usually relate to the reader and the concepts are too vague and general. Rarely is there any science to back up the claims made by the au- thor. Furthermore, memo- ry tends to fade quickly a few days after reading the book. The second method is seminars. Like books, I find talks interesting to listen to but not very practical or useful because they are not long enough to grasp what is being stated and the sto- ries told are not similar to most of the mental prob- lems experienced by ath- letes and teams. Little evi- dence is given to prove the points made by the speaker, and memory for what was presented also fades rapidly a day or two later. The third method is au- diovisual tapes and CDs. Again, memory fades rapid- ly, and the evidence for the claims is often lacking. Moreover, all three of these applications cannot be tai- lored to each individual and so are very generic. These methods are popu- lar with athletes because they are quick fixes, cheap and take little time. Overall, they are superficial, and no research I have seen has found them effective over the long run. Despite these drawbacks, books, DVDs and seminars may be useful to introduce the topic of sports psychology to the public. ‘When these generic methods fail to live up to their promises, athletes and teams often choose a well- trained and experienced li- censed sports and clinical psychologist to deliver the training and development, to ensure results. One-to- one coaching is by far the most effective method over the long run to train ath- letes and teams to be mental champions, as proven by my own experience over the past four decades. Research also backs this finding. How could a superficial mental approach solve a deep, underlying self-es- teem, confidence, anxiety, chemistry or personal prob- lem that appears consistent- ly when pressure and stress arises? The reality is that there are no quick fixes for men- tal mastery. The time re- quired is different for each athlete and team. –Dr. Douglas Smith is a licensed psychologist in Ontario specializing in sport psychology since 1985.

His patience paid off when he won the Investors Group Ontario Senior Men's Amateur Champion- ship by three strokes at the Dalewood Golf Club in Co- bourg, his first crack at the provincial title as a senior. "I've just kind of been waiting to play in my age group again," explained Brewer, a longtime Picker- ing resident. "More or less over the last 10 years, it's been work and family that's been more important than playing golf." An insurance broker and father of two grown children, Brewer will now have an opportunity to re- present Ontario at the na- tional men's senior cham- pionship in New Bruns- wick in September. It's not his first kick at the can in that regard, as he's represented Ontario and Canada several times in the past as an amateur and mid-amateur, includ- ing in 1986, when he helped Canada win its first Eisen- hower Trophy, a biennial world amateur team event that dates back to 1958. Brewer grew up in Scar- borough, and has been a member of the Whitevale Golf Club since about the age of 10. "I wanted to be on the golf course and hit golf balls and I would hang around the course all day long, chipping and putting and playing," recalled Brewer, who started going to the club at age five with his parents. "In the winter time, I still kind of horsed around chipping and put- ting indoors." All the time spent at the course helped make Brew- er the No. 1 ranked junior in Ontario and earn him a scholarship to Miami Uni- versity of Ohio after high school. He dabbled in the pro ranks after university, playing the Canadian Tour and in Florida for a few years, but like so many oth- ers, got lost in the compet- itive shuffle. "I quickly decided after few years it wasn't the ca- reer I wanted to have," said Brewer, who got into the in- surance business and set- tled in Pickering in 1989 with his then fiancée and now wife. Brewer has remained active in golf, but for the past 10 years has played mostly just for the fun of it while waiting to join the se- nior ranks. At Dalewood, where he hadn't played for about seven years, he went in expecting to be in the mix along with several oth- ers. "You always play know- ing you have a chance, but the consistency of my game hasn't been there," he said. "That's why a lot of guys as they get older, they tend to shy away from playing a lot of tournaments because it's not like you're 90 per cent on top of your game. You're 50 per cent on top of your game." Brewer's overall consis- tency was just fine - round of 72-70-69 left him as the only player under par at two-under - but he strug- gled at times and had to stay patient to pull off the victory. After relinquish- ing the lead early in the fi- nal round, he strung to- gether four birdies on the final five holes to reclaim it.
