DURHAM - Local parents are questioning why a former teach- er with Durham's Catholic school board was allowed to "re- tire with dignity," after being found guilty of pushing, pulling and hitting children. Earlier this year, Thomas Bertram MacAdam had his teaching certificate suspended for six months by the Ontario College of Teachers after being found guilty of professional mis- conduct. The misconduct relates to in- cidents that happened in 2011 and 2012 when MacAdam was teaching at an unidentified Dur- ham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB) elementary school. According to documents from the college, MacAdam "continu- ously" yelled at students, despite supports put in place by the school and school board to help him change his behaviour. The documents say MacAd- am hit a male student on the head, grabbed him by his collar and threw a backpack at him - the incident left the student "scared and shocked," according to testimony. In two other incidents, the college says MacAdam shoved a student and pulled two students by the arm. Documents from the college outline a long list of efforts the DCDSB undertook to help Mac- Adam, including transferring him to new schools for a "fresh start," bringing in "multiple" consultants to help him with teaching and classroom manage- ment skills and hiring a profes- sional personal coach for Mac- Adam. The college says the Catholic board eventually offered Mac- Adam the opportunity to "retire with dignity" instead of firing him - he retired in June 2016, at the time he was teaching at Fa- ther Fenelon Catholic School in Pickering. It is not clear if he continued teaching at another school board after that. Local parents recently be- came aware of the details of the case after the teachers' college published the information in its trade magazine. One parent - whose children were taught by MacAdam but were not involved in the inci- dents addressed by the college - questions why the teacher was given so much leeway. "I don't understand why a teacher who is yelling at chil- dren and getting physical with them is allowed to 'retire with dignity.' He should have been fired. The children he harmed weren't allowed to have dignity," says the parent, whose name is being withheld to protect the identity of their children. In an email to DurhamRe- gion.com, another parent called the case "scary," saying parents assume that teachers who act in this way will be removed from the classroom. "Parents didn't even know this was happening until way af- ter the fact. We had no idea." MacAdam's teaching certifi- cate was suspended for six months, from January to July 2019. The college's discipline com- mittee also issued a formal repri- mand and required him to com- plete courses in anger manage- ment and classroom manage- ment, before being allowed to teach again. "He is no longer employed by the board and will not be return- ing to work in our schools or the board in any capacity," the DCDSB said in a statement. The school board declined to discuss MacAdam's case specifi- cally, but said there are "many possible scenarios" when a teacher is found guilty of wrong- doing. "Allegations regarding staff conduct are thoroughly investi- gated on a case-by-case basis and appropriate steps are taken in the interest of safety and well-be- ing for all," the statement notes. Documents from the college show several concerned parents wrote letters about MacAdam's conduct in the classroom, with one parent describing the class- room as having "a lot of yelling, discipline issues, and general negativity" and another saying the teacher "uses a very harsh tone that is perceived to be al- ways angry at the students." At least one parent asked for their child to be transferred out of his class. Efforts to reach MacAdam for comment were not successful.

SAVING YOU MORE For more details go instore or online @thebrick.com. September is almost here and like many other moms, I am dreading the morning rush and saying goodbye to my girls as they enter back into the world of routines, packed lunches and busy schedules. And even though my family has become accus- tomed to lazy mornings in our pyjamas, sleeping in and a laid back summer style, we will have to adjust and make some changes for our school mornings to run as smoothly as possible. In our house, picking out an outfit for the day can be a stressful, time consum- ing event that must always be done the night before. With two particular girls on my hands, outfit choices from head to toe, including hair accessories are select- ed the night before. It's a crucial time saver. As a result, we avoid stressed out girls trying on 17 different things before they find the right option for that day of the week. Time is of the essence for school mornings and 17 out- fit changes isn't even an op- tion. Lunches, the oh so dreaded lunches. Being a homemaker is my true pas- sion. I love to take care of my girls and my husband, prepare their meals and tend to every one of their needs but for some reason, pre-planned, packed lunch- es are not my favourite item on the to-do list. Come Sunday evening, lunches and meal plans are planned, a grocery list is made for Monday and the rest is usually smooth sail- ing. Again, a key step is to prepare the night before. Fruit and veggies are chopped and packed up, baked good or sandwiches are made and put into the fridge wrapped and ready to go, including a love note on top, of course. As my girls face a busy day ahead, I think a little reminder of how much they're loved goes a long way. For busy mom of two and Durham District School Board teacher, Jes- sica Appleton, planning ahead, soaking up family time and taking some time for herself in key is making the school year less stress- ful. Waking her two little ones during the morning rush with little to no time for cuddles or the down time they need is her big- gest struggle during a busy work week. "Knowing that I am rushing around to drop them off with someone else and having to spend the en- tire day away from them is very difficult for me," she explained. "Waking them up around 6 a.m. through- out the week is going to be a big adjustment after the summer, we all have to be out the door no later than 6:50 a.m." And to make the morn- ings as simple as possible, Appleton also picks out clothing for her and her daughters the night before, with her lunch packed and ready in the fridge. Both of the girls are fed at the day- care but an early morning snack is ready to go first thing in the morning before they race out the front door. "I also don't fuss with the girls in the morning, hair is simple, clothes are simple," she said. Between her career, a busy family and a home to tend to, Appleton burnt out and forgot to take time for herself. "Take mental health days, make time to do some- thing that is just for you and stay connected with people that love and support you," she said. "As much as I love my family and want to spend all of my time outside of work with them, I need to remember it is important to spend time focusing on my- self as well."

THREE MEN WANTED AFTER PICKERING 7-ELEVEN ROBBED CRIME SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER AT DURHAMREGION.COM A burst of confetti and streamers heralded the of- ficial renaming of Picker- ing's recreation complex Monday, as Chestnut Hill Developments became the first corporate partner in the city's naming rights program. Guests gathered outside the Valley Farm Road facil- ity were welcomed to the new Chestnut Hill Devel- opments Recreation Com- plex by Mayor Dave Ryan, members of council and ex- ecutives from the company. Chestnut Hill has inked a 15-year, $1.125-million nam- ing rights deal with Picker- ing, the first agreement of its kind in the city's history. "We're not selling the recreation complex, we are naming the recreation complex because of the generosity of one of the de- velopers in the communi- ty," said Ryan, who called Chestnut Hill one of the most respected homebuil- ders in the Greater Toronto Area. The company began its San Francisco by the Bay residential project at Liver- pool Road and Bayly Street a decade ago, noted Chest- nut Hill Developments president Ralph Del Duca. Its latest project is the nearby five-building Uni- versal City development, where the third building is expected to launch this Oc- tober. "It's truly a prime loca- tion," said Del Duca. "It's great to be part of your community. We always look at where the market is going, not where the mar- ket has been." Ryan called the official renaming ceremony a cele- bration that will usher in a new era in Pickering. The naming rights program is an effective way to increase revenue while easing pres- sure on tax dollars, he said. It will help fund upcoming renovations to the 37-year- old recreation complex, in- cluding new service count- ers, change rooms and ex- terior main entrance. "It's a vital gathering hub for all residents," said the mayor. He noted Chestnut Hill Developments' involve- ment in the community in- cludes support of the Ajax- Pickering hospital, the Grandview Children's Cen- tre and WindReach Farm. The renaming of the complex was celebrated with free activities offered to residents Monday, in- cluding afternoon and eve- ning swims, and evening fitness classes.

Holter monitors are a non-invasive diagnostic tool used most commonly to detect cardiac arrhythmias (i.e. when the heart beats too slow, too fast or erratically). Atrial fibrillation is the most serious type of arrhythmia, and if undetected it can lead to heart failure because the heart is not able to circulate enough blood to meet the body’s needs. It is estimated that up to 15% of all strokes are caused by atrial fibrillation, and the risk increases with age so much so that after the age of 60, it is the cause of two-thirds of all strokes. If a heart arrhythmia is found, the patient can be treated appropriately - such as with medication or a pacemaker - so that their heart is stimulated to beat at a steady rate. This year, the tournament is raising funds for a new Central Monitoring System for the Intensive Care Unit at Ajax Pickering Hospital.

A movie that for some reason or other becomes success- ful only after a certain pe- riod of time. Here are six, including at least one or two surpris- es. -THE SHAWSHANK REDEMP- TION (1994).Considered to be one of the all-time best sleepers that acquired a large following among filmgoers; such status was achieved inside the dura- tion of one year. Tim Rob- bins plays a banker sen- tenced to a life behind bars for murdering his wife and her lover, even though he pleads innocence. -THE SEARCHERS (1956). A classic western starring John Wayne, it wasn't al- ways recognized as the re- vered film it is easily cited to be today. Wayne played Ethan Edwards, who vows to find family members ab- ducted by the Comanches over a span of many years. Trivia: In the summer of 1956, Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison and Sonny Curtis saw The Searchers. Wayne says "that'll be the day" four times in the picture. Holly and company were inspired and felt com- pelled to write a song around it. "That'll Be the Day" is a key recording in the history of rock and roll. -VERTIGO (1958). Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo is at the front of the line in terms of accolades, but when it was unveiled for the first time in 1958 it was a flop. Today it holds the prestigious standing of be- ing No. 1 in the British Film Institute's Top 50 Greatest Films of All Time. James Stewart is Scottie, who nearly loses his mind after falling in love with Made- line (Kim Novak), and, seemingly, tragically los- ing her to suicide. Enter Judy Barton, a Madeline look-alike. -LOCAL HERO (1983). An oil executive, "Mac" MacIn- tyre (Peter Riegert), is sent to a village in Scotland to buy out the residents in or- der to build an oil refinery. In time he realizes the dif- ferences between village people and Big Oil. The movie is beautifully arrest- ing, with gorgeous visuals like no other. -TWO-LANE BLACKTOP (1971). Although this pic- ture performed poorly up- on release, it has since un- equivocally grown into surefire cult status. James Taylor and Dennis Wilson are the Driver and the Me- chanic who live on the road. Along the way they meet various characters including GTO (Warren Oates) and the Girl, played by Laurie Bird. Together they form an alliance as they race for money. Trivia: Blacktop refers to an asphalt road. -A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957). Recently made available in revamped first-class style by the usu- ally reliable Criterion Col- lection, A Face In The Crowd presents Andy Grif- fith (The Andy Griffith Show, 1960 to 1968) in a to- tally offbeat approach as the monstrous 'Lonesome' Rhodes. The story is about the transformation of Rhodes from a nobody into a hell-bent television dem- agogue who uses his charms and charisma to win over the crowds as he rides an inevitably tragic, destructive path. Patricia Neal is fine as the unsus- pecting producer who moulds Rhodes. Andrew Merey is a Whitby resident who's interested in music and movie history. He has con- tributed articles to This Week since 2003. You can reach him at amerey@rog- ers.com.

First, you’ll have to identify your potential sources of retirement income, such as the Canada Pension Plan, OldAge Security and other government programs, as well as a workplace pension if you have one.You’ll also need to consider your personal savings, such as your RRSP orTFSA. Your second step is to determine if a gap exists between the income you can count on during retirement and the money you’ll need to support your retirement lifestyle. A professional financial advisor can help you make this calculation. Your final step is to decide how to close any retirement gap. Unless you want to delay your retirement, or scale down your retirement lifestyle, you may need to contribute more to your RRSP and other investment accounts.You should also consider working with a financial advisor to choose the appropriate mix of investments to help your money grow over time. But in any case, don’t wait too long before you tackle the “When can I retire?” question – because the sooner you start working on it, the better the answer you’ll get.

How do taxes come to be? We, as citizens, have had a choice. We can contract for services on an in- dividual basis, like we do for lawn maintenance, driveway paving and roof replacements. Or we can ask government to provide for our needs such as education for our children, public safety, roads, libraries and many other require- ments. Governments charge taxes to pay for the services that the elec- torate asked for, and taxes are the price we pay for government ser- vices and investments in our community. If the Ontario government builds a hospital for $500 million, the money usually has to be bor- rowed. Debt goes up by $500 mil- lion, and people scream, except we now have a hospital that will benefit the province and the citi- zens for decades. Sure, that $500 million will have to be paid back with taxes, but it really is an in- vestment in our community. Many people who hate taxes say, "Let the user pay," and want to make all roads toll roads like Highway 407, make the users of Go Transit pay the actual full cost of service. I know those items would lower my taxes for sure. Of course, everybody's real cost of living would go up if tax-funded services were not provided by government. We all see government waste differently. Living in North Bay, I would definitely believe spending billions of dollars on mass transit and roads in the Greater Toronto Area is an absolute waste. Here is how to reduce your tax burden legally. About 20 per cent of the taxes the provincial government col- lects are consumption taxes - a percentage of the price of the products we buy, such as gasoline and fuel, liquor and tobacco prod- ucts and pretty well everything else that has HST applied to it. The simplest way to pay less tax is to buy less gas, liquor, pre- pared meals and shoes, and so on and so on. Each of us must be involved in our political process and elect politicians who have character and integrity, and who will exer- cise prudence and sensibility in financial matters, carefully weighing both costs and benefits of each fiscal decision. See the big picture, learn how government works and where your taxes are spent. Dennis Gazarek is an author, social commentator and retired retail auto executive.

On- ly our local cardinal is still whistling at first light outside the bedroom win- dow, our song sparrow and mourning dove around sunrise. Most songbirds have gone silent as second broods of babies fledge and adults turn their at- tention from breeding and protecting territories to preparing for winter ahead. That means grow- ing new clothes, whether they’ll fly south to the tropics or brave the cold here. Late August is moult- ing season for most of Canada’s birds — replac- ing worn, brittle, broken feathers for a whole new set. The total transforma- tion requires a great amount of energy, so it’s perfect timing that they do it at the height of sum- mer. Right now there’s lots of food around to fuel the building of proteins — in- sects, caterpillars, ber- ries, pollen, nectar, de- pending on each species’ diet. Plus, it’s warm enough that they can make it through the night without being wrapped in their usual insulated, wind-resistant plumage. Birds are extra vulner- able when they’re moult- ing, unable to fly as fast with half-grown feathers. So they hide away in woods and thickets, eating and resting and generally keeping quiet and out of sight. Ones you catch a glimpse of often look scruffy and strangely un- familiar, with short tails and mottled markings. Like hair on humans, feathers are made of kera- tin and grow from the bot- tom. Starting as pointed quills, or “pin feathers,” they lose their protective sheath as they grow lon- ger, releasing the fan of f ine barbules and fila- ments that serve each feather’s function — fluffy contour ones for trapping air next to a bird’s skin to hold in warmth, stiff straight aerodynamic ones used for flight. Study feathers closely with a magnifying glass or microscope to see the tiny hooks holding wing-feath- er barbs together, or the graceful fringed plumes of down — a fascinating les- son on evolution through natural selection. New feathers push old ones out. So if you find a single feather in your yard, you’ll know some passing songbird dropped it while moulting. A pile of feathers suggests that a moulting songbird pro- vided a meal for a hungry predator. Nature queries: mcar- ney@interlinks.net or 905-725-2116. Durham nature writer Margaret Carney has more than 4,000 species on her life list of birds, many seen in far-flung corners of our beautiful planet.

Although it sounds more story- book than real life, Justin Barnes of Pickering did exactly that with Canadian teammate Alex Heinze- mann at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru Aug. 9. Competing in the 49er class, Barnes and Heinzemann battled high winds and choppy water to edge out the United States for both the bronze medal and a North American qualifying spot for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. In a race that saw every boat capsize at least once, the Canadi- ans crossed the finish line upside down but in third place — ahead of a U.S. team they were tied with through 12 previous races. “It was actually pretty epic by sailing standards,” Barnes recalls of the finish. “It was challenging even to get around the course our- selves rather than do much rac- ing. It was quite a battle just to keep our boat up.” Although the result guaran- tees Canada an Olympic berth in the challenging 49er class, Barnes and Heinzemann will still have to earn their way there by being the country’s top boat over two major competitions — the 2020 world championships in Australia in February and an event in Spain in March. Barnes, 28, has been chas- ing the Olympic dream for about eight years now, and fell short with a different teammate in 2016, when Canada didn’t qualify in the 49er class in Rio. “I find myself coming back to it because it’s hard to walk away from a goal you’ve been trying to achieve for so long,” he explains. “This might be the last kick at the can as they say, but I honestly don’t know.” Barnes was exposed to several sports growing up in Pickering, but fell in love with sailing after attending a camp at Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club at age nine. A graduate of Dunbarton High School, he recently earned a mas- ter’s degree in sustainability stud- ies from Trent University, and looks forward to pursuing a ca- reer in the field in the near future. The Olympic goal is front and centre for now, however, a task that is consuming both in terms of time and money. To compete at the worlds championships, for ex- ample, Barnes and Heinzemann will need to ship their boat to Aus- tralia in January and find accom- modations for a month of prepara- tion. Barnes credits his Royal Cana- dian Yacht Club in Toronto for tre- mendous support — unfunded, the team relies on corporate spon- sorship and fundraising to sur- vive — but still has a soft spot in his heart for the Frenchman’s Bay club, which he still frequents as well. “There’s a lot of really great people who put a lot of time and ef- fort into make me really good,” he says. “I guess I was in the right place at the right time, had some good instructors and fell in love with it.” PICKERING SAILOR HELPS CANADA LAND OLYMPIC BERTH BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com COMMUNITY DURHAM REGION MEDAL-WINNING ATHLETES Several Durham Region athletes contributed to Canada’s medal haul of 152, the third most among 41 countries that took part in the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru. Nyl Yakura of Pickering delivered a badminton gold medal with Jason Ho-Shue in men’s doubles, while Sara Kaljuvee of Ajax helped Canada defend its gold in women’s rugby sevens, a feat she also accomplished four years earlier in Toronto. Eric Wood of Oshawa and Whitby’s Ryan Kellogg were part of Canada’s silver medal winning baseball team, while Keegan Pereira of Ajax also brought home a silver with the men’s field hockey team. Cannington’s Jessica Phoenix, a two-time Olympian in equestrian, competed in her third straight Pan Am Games with mount Pavarotti and won a fifth medal, a bronze in team eventing. Whitby’s Pierce LePage won a bronze medal in the men’s decathlon. Ana Padurariu, also of Whitby, was thought to be a favourite for multiple medals heading into the Games, but had to be replaced on the artistic gymnastics team due to an injury. The team ended up winning silver. Justin Barnes of Pickering, right, and Alexander Heinzemann celebrated winning a bronze medal in sailing at the Pan American Games in Peru.
