Music Makes You Smarter: A New Paradigm for Music Education? Perceptions and Perspectives from Four Groups of Elementary Education Stakeholders
Vitale, John Luke
Canadian Journal of Education, v34 n3 p317-343 2011
Through 14 years of teaching music in the Greater Toronto Area, the "music makes you smarter" notion has imbued many of the conversations I have had with multiple stakeholders in public education. Such conversations have suggested that the ancillary benefits of teaching music have now become the principal reason why we teach music--what I refer to as a new paradigm shift in music education. This study attempts to validate my own experiences through a sample size of 100 participants and a multiple methods approach to inquiry. Specifically, this study explores the perceptions and perspectives of the "music makes you smarter" notion by four groups of stakeholders in elementary education, namely; music teachers, students, parents, and non-music teachers. With a few exceptions, both quantitative and qualitative data have generated perceptions and perspectives that validate the "music makes you smarter" notion, suggesting that my own experiences of a paradigm shift within music education in the GTA were indeed authentic and valid. This paper ends with a discussion on the ramifications of this new paradigm shift and ultimately argues that the music itself should be the focus of music education. (Contains 7 tables, 1 figure and 7 footnotes.)

Usually I do not wear bright colors, especially orange; but when I saw this hoddie on ASOS few weeks ago I just couldn't help myslef and I bought it. I think the sleeves catched my eyes and the orange color made it more special. But in the end I realised I look quite good in orange.
I loooove this outfit so much! It's simple, extremely comtfortable and COOL. Yes the sleeves might look a bit crazy but you know.. style :))
I finished the look with Mango black trousers and black mules from Asos!

TYLER – The UT Tyler golf programs will host the Al and Nancy Jones Memorial next Monday and Tuesday with the men's tournament to be played at Hollytree Country Club and the women's event at The Cascades.
While both programs spend their fall and spring seasons traveling around the nation, there is one special week in the fall when UT Tyler hosts a competition in Tyler. A tournament that began in 2005, by former head coach King Campbell, was initially named the UT Tyler Fall Invitational.
This tournament and other golf initiatives were funded by a very special friend to UT Tyler, along with his business partners. Without the generosity of Al and Nancy Jones and their business partners, our golf programs would have struggled to grow and become the powerhouse they are known to be today.
In 2010, our friend Al Jones suddenly passed away and his wife, Nancy, passed away this year. However, their legacy remains on UT Tyler's campus. To continue the legacy and in memory of Al and Nancy, the annual golf tournament was renamed the Al and Nancy Jones Memorial and has continued to be a successful tournament each year.
Nancy expressed the passion that Al had for UT Tyler when she stated, "Al believed the tournament would generate interest in UT Tyler golf and bring more students to the sport, perhaps going on to pursue their dreams in their golfing careers."
Former head coach and UT Tyler legend King Campbell has also reminisced on the good times he shared with Al. King mentioned, "Al was my best friend and helped me a lot when and after I was trying to get the programs established. On the inside he was a kind and generous man who would do anything for a person in need."
UT Tyler continues to be grateful to Al and Nancy Jones and Al's business partners for allowing us to host such a special tournament each year. It is with much thanks and excitement that we get to continue the legacy of Al and Nancy Jones and host a successful tournament each year in Tyler.

KUCHING – Sarawak chief minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem said youths of today are important members of the society as they are the state and country's valuable assets.
He said there are millions of young people who will shoulder vital roles in contributing their time, energy and skills to ensure Sarawak and Malaysia can progress.
"There are millions of young people whom have the critical role to play in the lives of our young people and can leverage from their ability to develop themselves as future leaders at their community and even at state level," he said in his text speech.
The text speech was read by Sarawak Youth, Sports and Solidarity Minister Datuk Seri Michael Manyin Jawong who officiated the State level Youth Day celebration on his behalf here today.
He said youths can offer so much energy and vibrancy in efforts to achieve good progress and development but sometimes they also have big creative ideas that might contribute to the way the world works.
Adenan said history have shown that visionaries are people who are ahead of time and are always thinking creatively out of the box, so to speak.
"Visionary youths of today have shown us that we need young people who can envision what the future may hold and that we need to come up with solutions in order to meet the future challenges head on," he added.
"For that reason the State government through the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Solidarity has been working very hard for the benefit of our young people whom we hold close to our hearts," he said.
The State government, he added had always tried its best to help young people to develop their true potentials so that they can make meaningful contributions to Sarawak and the nation.
The chief minister said among the challenges that need to be faced together is the ugly side of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and internet which has been abused and manipulated by irresponsible quarters aiming to poison the minds of the people.
"Let us be clear that the government has no issue on the use of internet and social media channels among the young people to contact friends, access knowledge, employment opportunities and entertainment or recreation purposes.
"But being responsible members of the society, young people must always exercise self-censorship and self-restrain in respect of performing their rights over the internet," said Adenan.
He said in Sarawak the government has always accepted and acknowledged the differences in opinion among the people including the young generation, adding that the government had never tried to negate the opinion of the young people just because they think differently. – BERNAMA

I don't know you, or what has happened to you, but it's a burden you'll have to bear on your own. No one is interested because it doesn't concern them. If they give legitimacy to what you're telling them, then they have to rationalize that together with the fears they already have. They'd rather live in denial. It's much easier.

Well, yeah there's nothing you can do to change the situation... but being there is usually all it takes. Healing takes time.
That's kind of why I started this thread. I understand and know why people avoid the topic, or can't deal with it, or what have you. And many times we end up alone in it. So... what can we do *for ourselves*? I mean, beyond prayer. There are a good many folks out there who simply do not find solace in that.

I think it also has to do with ego.
For example. Caladonea is seeing angels, but I never have. If angels really exist, then she must be special because they show themselves to her. Which means, since I've never seen an angel, I'm not special.
Ergo, angels don't exist.
Hey there. Well I don't have photos of the spot on the back of my neck because there's hair growing over it, and I'm not about to shave that for some silly photo. Besides, I keep picking at it - so I'm not going to claim it as irrefutable. The implant in my finger was removed one day in a rather odd way. The one behind my ear just disappeared and, like a silly fool, I turned in my only other physical evidence to someone who claimed to be researching but these days I wonder. I truly wonder. So if you don't believe me, I'm okay with that.
As for seeing fairy tale creatures: yes, thank you very much. Of course nowadays I know that the Medieval fairy tale descriptions match modern abduction events pretty closely. :-) And I never saw them so much as heard them and did as told.
And government conspiracies: the one time I managed to wake almost fully for an abduction was during a military encounter. Which means my own tale is related to your information slightly - and I don't share it here because it's no different from anyone else's. well okay I did talk about it in that one post over thar. But. I've come to terms with it. In fact, waking up that one time was probably the best thing to have ever happened to me. The events were no longer just "dreams" and some part of me settled. It was like "Ah, okay then!" and I felt better.
Before that? Yes, I knew there were conspiracies. All you gotta do for stuff like that is open yer eyes a little and pay attention. They're getting more and more blatant as time goes by. And it's a scarey world we live in.
The only UFO I've ever seen with my waking eye I took a photo of myself. You know digital cameras can take photos of things our naked eye can't see. So I took photos of the sky near my house out of curiosity. I was surprised to have caught a diamond formation and a beamship that was just hovering over this closed off area of woodland nearby. Never got photos like that again, although I take them once in a while. I'm currently at Fort Polk. There's not a thing here. Argh.

Affirmative action job plan call
Business Roundtable chair Rob McLeod from Ngati Porou says the public has to get over its sensitivity to affirmative action.
He says continuing a situation where the Maori unemployment rate is more than twice that of the general rate is bad for the country's long term prospects.
"In the private sector the reality is affirmative action is alive and well particularly around things like gender, so most companies these days have deliberative policies that are designed to fix up the imbalance between women and men in the workforce. The view here essentially is they should take on that same challenge with respect to ethnicity. If you get it down to the level of policy like that and it manifests itself in particular rules of employment or engagement, then it will make a difference over time," Mr McLeod says.
He says locking Maori out of the workforce is a recipe for more crime and welfare spending.
The Minister of Maori Affairs, Pita Sharples, says a smarter approach needs to be taken to the unemployed in the current economic crisis.
The former Maori Affairs community officer says the country must not repeat past mistakes in dealing with any large increase in jobless numbers, such as make-work work schemes.
"A lot of the programmes that develop are strung up with rules that make them impractical to work. For example the TOPS programme is based on bums on seats and often given to organisations, PTEs who don't have a big amount of money to cover themselves, retrospective payments, you've got to have a cleft palate or something before you are allowed on the programme so they're really really difficult criteria, and those who have run them have done a good job to stay in the game," Dr Sharples says.
He was impressed at today's Prime Minister's jobs summit how people were prepared to set aside their own sector barrows and work with others on finding solutions.
Tukoroirangi Morgan is back at the helm of Tainui.
At their first board meeting today, the 11 members of the new Te Ara Taura executive re-elected the Former New Zealand First MP and television journalist for a second term in the chair.
Patience Te Ao was elected deputy chair.
Mr Morgan says the mandate reflects the iwi's desire for stability.
"Today is a signal to myself and the other two senior executives of the board to provide the leadership so we can address some pressing issues of future proofing our organisation, of building a much more robust strategic plan in terms of the social, cultural and economic responsibilities that we have towards our people. All of those things hugely important as we sit in tough economic times," Mr Morgan says.
The Tainui board will be looking at its businesses to see if there are opportunities to create employment for its people.
A $600 million fund for Maori development is one of the ideas to emerge from today's jobs summit in South Auckland.
Maori Party president Whatarangi Winitata says a lot of money is spent by government on Maori, but little of that is under Maori control or direction.
He says directing 1 percent of the government's total budget to a special fund would improve the quality of spending.
"The departments, the ministries from whence the money comes are to continue with their programmes, not cut back on the Maori ones because they are losing 1 percent, but they must continue with their programmes, and then a special group with the 1 percent which would be $600 million, use that for Maori development which is looking at crisis areas," Professor Winiata says
He says the current crisis should be seen as a real opportunity for Maori.
Associate Maori Affairs minister Georgina te Heuheu says today's jobs summit has highlighted the need for Maori to up their educational performance.
There was a strong Maori contingent among the 200 business, union and community sector leaders gathered at the Manukau events centre.
Mrs te Heuheu says Maori will play an important role in getting the country through the economic crisis.
"The workforce of tomorrow is brown, it's Maori and Pacific, and therefore starting from early childhood education right through to the tertiary sector is to recognize that. Basic things like literacy, numeracy, making sure our children do better at school, because a lot of them are lagging, making sure they stay at school longer, making sure they all get the opportunity to do some form of tertiary training," Mrs te Heuheu says.
A suggestion former treaty negotiations minister Michael Cullen could switch sides and advocate for Ngati Tuwharetoa have been dismissed by the iwi.
Spokesperson Dickson Chapman says the tribe has had no discussions on the matter with Dr Cullen, who is being tipped to leave Parliament as early as May.
Mr Chapman says apart from finalising the details of the Central North Island forestry settlement, Tuwharetoa is not currently in negotiations.
"We haven't got our organisation for our claims up and running yet so an announcement we've selected someone to head our claims, let alone Dr Cullen, would seem very premature I would say," he says.
Mr Chapman says the tribe has a huge respect for Dr Cullen because of the way he drove through the $400 million Treelord settlement.
Dr Cullen refused to comment.

Cancerous breasts to be shown in 'shocking' TV advert
A "shocking" new advert is to form the centrepiece of a drive to encourage women to act early if they suspect they have breast cancer.
The online, press, radio and TV campaign shows pictures of real breasts with visible evidence of cancer.
The advert carries the message "lumps aren't the only sign of breast cancer".
It is part of the Scottish government's £30m Detect Cancer Early drive, which aims to increase the early diagnosis of cancer by 25%.
Audrey Birt, from Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said that as well as lumps, women should look out for other signs including:
- a general change in the breast
- an unusual change in the breast
- changes to size, shape and texture of the breast
- and discharges coming from the breast
Actress Elaine C Smith, who lost her mother to breast cancer, features in the advert.
She is seen holding a series of placards illustrating the symptoms of the disease.
Smith added: "I am delighted to have been asked to front this ground-breaking campaign to promote breast cancer awareness in Scotland. For too many years women have been confused and scared about what to look for.
"There are few people in Scotland that remain untouched by cancer, either directly or in their circle of family and friends, so anything that helps early detection and treatment can only be a good thing.
"I lost my own mum to breast cancer and I know that if she had seen this campaign she would have known what she was looking for and perhaps visited the doctor and been checked much earlier.
"For some, the campaign might be shocking but as far as I'm concerned if this saves one life it is absolutely worth it."
Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said the campaign represented a "bold approach" but she said it was important to get the message across that detecting breast cancer was not all about finding a lump.
She said: "More lives can be saved in Scotland through earlier detection, as the cancer can be treated earlier when it is less aggressive and treatment is more likely to be successful.
"I hope that this drive will get people talking about breast cancer, and encourage people to become more aware of the signs and symptoms."
In addition to the publicity campaign, an additional £12m in government money is being invested in upgrading breast screening equipment across Scotland.
The funds will be invested in replacing analogue mammography machines with digital units over the next three years.
The television advert will be shown post 21:00 on Tuesday, with radio, online and press advertisements also running for four weeks.
Ms Sturgeon met breast cancer survivors Jennifer Gossman and Alison Walker to officially launch the initiative.
Edinburgh resident Ms Walker was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer and underwent a lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy.
Her message at the launch was that women needed to be "more breast aware".
Ms Walker said: "I think it's vital to know your body and know how your breasts should look or feel. It then gives you confidence about noticing any changes and seeking professional advice immediately.
"This campaign is all about detecting cancer early and I'm so lucky that my cancer was caught early. The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the more effective treatment may be, so we should all be more breast aware."

Chris2210 wrote:Sorry, I'm going to do the Bruckner comparison again. It's a decent analogy because in comparison with most Yes music it is heavily concerned with contemplation of the Divine. The symphonies are also very lengthy works. But the key thing here is that he was constantly advised by 'well wishers' to revise them, generally to make them leaner, more concise and less meandering.
It leaves musicologists with the problem that there are at least two versions for most of the symphonies (principally the Haas and Nowak editions). So did Bruckner bow to pressure from those who urged him to make cuts? Most of his revisions were longer than the originals. There are very long, meandering, ruminative passages, but the crescendos are all the more shattering for that.
I suppose you could cut the first seven or eight minutes of the Bolero (after all it's only the same theme repeated over and over) or with the 1812 overture just cut to the chase and have the orchestral (and literal) fireworks with the cannon from the end.
They'd be different (and lesser) pieces of music. And so would Tales.
Excellent comment! And I couldn't agree more!
Don't change a single note of Tales. It is what it is, and to alter it is to diminish it.

A headline reads "We gave all of our most boring and tedious work to people we never met, and here is what happened next". Let me guess: a total failure?
Recently there have been a few rather nasty articles deriding offshore development teams. As an entrepreneur in Silicon Valley I want to set the record straight: Every successful start-up I have been involved with learned how to successfully leverage offshore teams, and several of these companies would not have made it otherwise. Some of the most talented, hard-working engineers I have ever had the privilege of working with were based in India, China, and Russia. Although there are rare exceptions where the model does not make sense, if your software company is struggling to make the model work, in all likelihood the problem is you. If your company cannot leverage offshore teams, your company cannot hire the best people in the world wherever they might be. In other words, you have a serious competitive disadvantage.
The reason that many are quick to dismiss offshore development is simple: Creating distributed teams that are productive together is not easy. To help understand why, I reached out to several colleagues who have been very successful building teams in Russia, China, and India, to get their perspective:
"When outsourcing begins, there can issues of confidence and trust" says Rajiv Sinha, VP Engineering, Citrix Systems. Rajiv says that developing mutual respect between development teams is essential. "You have to get someone with a face-to-face presence whose sole function is to represent the remote team. For the people in the home office, this person is the remote team."
Avinash Agrawal, Principal Consultant (formerly VP of Engineering at Guavus, Gale Technologies) says "total two-way transparency and relentless communication" are the key to creating clear responsibility and accountability between teams. "Offshore teams often suffer from 'remote site syndrome', and feel excluded from information and the decision making hierarchy".
Leaders must "endeavor to create opportunities where offshore and onshore teams get to work closely together", says Vipin Sharma, Head of India Engineering for a stealth mode Silicon Valley big data start-up. "Regular technical summits and workshops where key team members travel to each others sites can go a long way to boost 'one team' spirit and overall efficiency".
I had the benefit of working with the teams these leaders created, so I know first hand that their advice is sage. To their list, I will add this observation from years of experience: Many companies begin by trying to create a sustaining engineering model, where the offshore team is primarily responsible for bug-fixing and other maintenance. Don't do it. You cannot hire the best engineers in the United States and relegate them to sustaining engineering, and you should not expect that people are different anywhere else. Talented engineers need hard problems to solve. Give your remote teams ownership, authority, responsibility, and accountability, and you will see results. Perception issues and blame games do arise from time to time, you have to get ahead of those immediately by facilitating communication, and cultivating mutual respect between your teams.
None of this is to say that there are not problems in every offshore jurisdiction. Finding office space in hotspots like Bangalore and New Delhi can be a nightmare. In India there are many cases where people still do not show up on their first day of work after accepting an offer. Competition in tech hotspots means that employees sometimes try to float ridiculous 75% or more pay increases. Language barriers frequently show up in source code. The power goes out frequently, sometimes 2-3 times a day every day. Different countries have a confusing myriad of employment law, intellectual property law, licenses, taxes, and permits. This is all just part of the process of doing business in any foreign country.
Let's distill this into some clear guidance for creating offshore development teams:
- Representation needs to be formal. The remote team needs a dedicated representative at the home office. Instead of kicking an email over the wall while the remote team is sleeping, this person is always available for face-to-face communication, and up to date on all development status. A senior engineering manager or product management person is ideal, it needs to be someone with incredible communication talent, patience, and persistence.
- Daily communication is key. Teams should be in daily contact at the leadership level, preferably twice every day. It feels ridiculous having to say this in 2015, but get video conferencing running. GoToMeeting is great, and Fuze is wonderful. There are no excuses for not videoconferencing in this day and age. Seeing people, their body language, their expressions, keeps you on the level of human beings instead of keystrokes. Of course, it should go without saying that you should also have a chat system like Slack, where engineers and product teams can communicate instantly ad-hoc. Bug tracking and other collaboration tools like a wiki need to be open, accessible, and performant. Put those babies in EC2 or Digital Ocean with high bandwidth and unfettered access.
- Frequent travel is mandatory. Your team is on the other side of the world, not on another planet. As a leader, you need to get yourself there to meet, plan, and share your vision, strategy, customer success, and customer failure. If has been more than 100 days since your last visit, you are very, very late. There is no substitute for frequent face to face interaction, because too much is lost in written communication, and there is frequently a language barrier to overcome.
- Empowering offshore teams is essential. This is so important that it bears repeating: Hire brilliant people and give them hardest work you have to do. You need great leadership on the ground to hire the best people, so begin your offshore team by finding that leader, and giving them complete authority to make hiring decisions. Set the tone with the rest of the company that you are finding and hiring the best people in the world, and share their successes with everyone.

Pull the zipper down as far as you can. Carefully cut into the right side of the zipper, making a small, horizontal cut right above the "puller". Then, thread the cut piece into the puller just like you thread the zipper on a jacket. Finally, with a needle and strong thread, sew about 7 loops over and under the place where the zipper is now threaded. This keeps the puller from being pulled down too far and unthreading the zipper. I've done this for over 30 years. It always works.ReplyDelete

Some estimates suggest that 25% of the population has a headache right now!
A frequent and overlooked cause of headaches is the malfunction of spinal bones in the neck and upper back. When bones of the spine lose their normal position or motion, sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head can be affected. When spinal nerves and related tissues are stretched or irritated, they can produce throbbing headaches. Aspirin and medications may cover up these warning signs, but do not correct the underlying structural cause.
Many people find relief and correction with chiropractic care.
If a thorough examination reveals reduced range of motion, loss of normal spinal curves, or mechanical restrictions, chiropractic care should be considered. After a complete explanation, you'll receive a care program designed for your unique spinal problem.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lance Armstrong has been ordered to give sworn videotaped testimony next month about using performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France seven times.
Armstrong has been sued by a Texas company seeking the return of about $12 million in performance bonuses. An arbitration panel has issued subpoenas for testimony from Armstrong on June 12 and his longtime business manager Bill Stapleton on June 9.
The cyclist has asked the Texas Supreme Court to intervene. He says a previous settlement with SCA Promotions is binding and cannot be reopened.
Armstrong's attorneys noted the subpoenas in a request for the Supreme Court to rule quickly.
Armstrong provided written sworn testimony last year in an unrelated lawsuit, and for the first time provided names of those he says assisted in his doping.

CompTIA Security+ Product Reviews
"I passed Security+ exam and got over 800 points! Very excited and relieved, and it was made possible by the vce dump from Examcollection. The exam didn't seem to hard, but some questions, like BYOD and threat prevention management, were just too unexpected if it hadn't been for the braindump. Awesome!
Aneesh O."
"I passed the SY0-401 exam! There have been a lot of questions on identity management, access control and cryptography which I found frustrating, but, fortunately, I got the vce dump days before the exam, and it truly helped me achieve the Security+ credential.
Christine Z."
"I frankly didn't expect this CompTIA exam to be so hard. Some questions actually seemed like they were from some advanced Cisco exam as CompTIA exams are usually easier. Nevertheless, I passed thanks to the vce dumps available here. Very good prep, real questions, especially on cryptography, system access and threat prevention.
Valery W."
I passed
"Excellent way to prepare for IT exams! I am so glad I was referred to this website! CompTIA Security+ exam was a big more complex than I imagined, but the fact that the vce test I downloaded contained real exam questions made the whole thing a lot easier. I think this is the only exam that covers BYOD, so memorize your questions and answers before you enter the testing center.
Anatoly C."
What I expected
"I passed the SY0-401 exam with Examcollection premium VCE file. Just like in the braindump, the actual exam had a lot of cloud security questions, as well as SCADA and BYOD questions - all the modern security buzzwords. There were also a few basic network threat prevention questions. The braindump was great, exactly what I expected.

Traffic on Secor Road near Queenswood Blvd, Wednesday, April 24, 2013.

It was Monday, and the first business day of the week is usually a brisk day for sales at Leo Marks Jewelrystore on Secor Road, said manager Mike Taweel.
Mike Saine, manager of Batteries Plus store, stands amidst the Secor Road construction in front of his shop on April 24, 2013.

But even though the store at 3435 Secor opened promptly at 10 a.m. like always, Mr. Taweel and his salesmen mostly just stood around without a lot to do.
"We didn't have a customer until 10:30," Mr. Taweel said glumly.
Unfortunately, days like this past Monday have been more common than not since early March at Leo Marks and at nearly 50 other businesses along Secor between Monroe Street and Central Avenue since the city of Toledo began a $5.4 million reconstruction of the road.
Most of the businesses along the popular retail corridor report sales drops of 20 to 30 percent since construction began on March 9. At least one business has closed — although indications are it was planning to do so soon anyway — and others are greatly concerned about how their bottom lines will look when the construction is completed around Nov. 1.
Nearly all the Secor business owners say the city has been sensitive to their needs, great at communicating daily progress, and working day and night to speed the project along.
Their collective wish is that customers would recognize that it is possible to get to their businesses. Several are accessible via connecting routes like Executive Parkway, or through parking lots. Some are offering special sales to attract customers.
But most business owners along the torn-up roadway believe that many consumers have taken one look at the mess that is Secor Road, taken note of its frequent backups at morning rush hour, the lunch hour, and the evening commute, and decided they will just avoid the area until November.
"I have quite a few elderly customers and they just don't want to deal with it," said Pat Bassett, owner of Bassett's Health Foods store at 4336 Secor Rd.
Ms. Bassett said her sales have fallen 25 to 30 percent since construction began. But, "I can hang on. I will just make some adjustments," she said.
She said the reconstruction is needed, but it hurts to know that it might drive some customers to her competitors. "People need to know that if you just allow yourself an extra 15 or 20 minutes, even on the worst days, you can still scoot in here just fine."
Shain Buerk, owner of Scrambler Marie's restaurant at 3344 Secor Rd., initially thought customers would cope just fine with the project. "When we first saw the construction begin and the orange barrels come out, we said, 'Ah, this isn't really going to affect us that much. We saw only a slight decrease in sales, about 5 percent," said Mr. Buerk, who owns five other Scrambler Marie's in the Toledo area.
"But when the lanes were significantly pinched down in the last month or two it has really touched us. Our sales volume is now down as much as 30 percent," Mr. Buerk said. "I am very thankful that we're fortunate in that we're one of 20 stores in our group. While sales have gone down at Secor, our restaurant on Central Avenue has gone up 20 percent.
"We believe we have loyal customers who have just decided they will find another location," Mr. Buerk said. "But needless to say, on Secor Road our staff sure feels the loss. It hurts them income-wise." Fewer customers mean fewer tips.
And like Ms. Bassett, Mr. Buerk firmly believes it isn't that people cannot get to his restaurant. "I think it's simply because people want to avoid the area," he said. "It's a temporary thing, but it's very painful in the short term."
'Every effort'
Steve Hamilton, hired to be the liaison between the city and the affected owners, said city officials knew before the project began that it had the potential to significantly disrupt or even bankrupt some of the Secor Road businesses. As a result, everything that could be done has been done to minimize the disruption.
"We just want to get the darn thing finished. The contractor [Geddis Paving & Excavating] has a very aggressive schedule," Mr. Hamilton said.
As is common practice, the contract between the city and Geddis has a penalty clause of $10,000 a day for each day the project goes past the Nov. 1 deadline. But in a somewhat unusual move, it also has a clause giving Geddis a $10,000-a-day bonus if it finishes before Nov. 1, up to 10 percent of the firm's original bid.
"This early completion incentive isn't quite as common, but it's getting more common. It could cost up to a half million dollars, so you're going to spend it where there's going to be some definite economic impact," Mr. Hamilton said. Knowing it stands to get a large bonus, Geddis crews have been working evenings and weekends.
Because of bad weather, the project is about two weeks behind schedule, but Mr. Hamilton thinks that will be reversed when better weather arrives. The biggest part of the project — laying a 12-inch water line that replaces an old 8-inch line on the east side of the road — is nearly done.
Project officials have made every effort to keep open dirt ramps leading into businesses on the road's east side, and they have signs advising motorists that the entrances are open.
Mike Taweel, store manager at Leo Marks Jewelers, says business at his store is down by at least 20 percent.

Rush hour is slow
But an obvious problem that occurs around the 8 a.m., noon, and 5 p.m. windows are motorists anxious to get through the mess who end up blocking the traffic lights and entry ramps, creating gridlock.
"The maddening thing to a business owner is standing out there and knowing people are not supposed to block an intersection and yet, they are," said Kevin Lent, owner of Sonic Drive-In at 3225 Secor Rd. "It's been challenging. It has not been awful. But it will probably get a little bit worse before it gets better. But six months of pain will just make the area that much better."
Mr. Hamilton said most motorists have gotten used to Secor's torn-up state by now and know how to navigate it or avoid it. "People who go there all the time know what it's about, know how to get through it," he said. "Others have found alternate routes to get to some of the businesses."
Some customers of Batteries Plus at 3128 Secor Rd., for example, now get to the store a back way by turning into the Westgate Meadows plaza off of Central Avenue, zipping past Vito's Pizza and around the parking lot past the Fresenius Medical Care dialysis center, until they arrive at Batteries Plus, said store manager Mike Saine.
"Sometimes, you can't go over the front ramp," Mr. Saine said. "The city has been great to work with except the last three weeks I had my entrance blocked 15 times."
The store manager said, "It's good customers that are coming to see us go the back way or are letting us ship items to them." Still, he said, customer traffic is down two-thirds and sales are down a little more than 30 percent.
"I do know the street needs to be fixed, the changes need to be made. The question is how can they make this easier for the small business guy like me? Maybe throw me some business so I can least make it through [the project]. ... Everybody's having a bad time," Mr. Saine said.
(SUBHEAD HERE)Going the back way
Businesses on the west side of Secor say that customers have told them they avoiding Secor in favor of Executive Parkway, or simply cutting through the parking lot of Sears on Central Avenue and coming from behind Elder-Beerman at 3311 Secor Rd. Using that route, customers are able to access most of the businesses on the west side of Secor without ever driving on Secor.
"With our [Executive Marketplace] plaza you can get to it from Central by either cutting through Sears or using Executive Parkway. You can also get across [Secor] by cutting through on the traffic lights," said Jeff Nissen, owner of Virtual PCs, at 3550 Secor Rd.
Mr. Nissen said his sales numbers have not dipped at all since the project began. But there are two factors that may be at work, he said.
First, he tells anyone who calls to use Executive Parkway. Second, his biggest competitor, Stone Computer, which was on the west side of the street at 3324 Secor Rd., went out of business three weeks ago.
"With Stone closing, we have taken over their [phone] number and I'm not sure if our sales is part of us picking up their business," Mr. Nissen said.
Local Stone Computer officials could not be reached for comment, but both Mr. Nissen and Mr. Hamilton said the store may have been contemplating closing before the project began. A salesman at the company's store in Fort Wayne, Ind., indicated the Secor location had been struggling the last few years.
Sales are down
While Virtual PCs has maintained its sales, the same cannot be said for others businesses along Secor.
At Leo Mark's, Mr. Taweel figures sales are down 20 percent. A few hundred feet to the north at the Big Boy restaurant at 3537 Secor Rd., sales are also down but Bennett Enterprises, the restaurant's owner, did not disclose by how much.
At Sonic, Mr. Lent had braced for a 20 percent decline, based on conversations with owners at other locations in town hit by road construction. But his losses have only been 6 or 7 percent, he said. He credits the drive-in's indirect access from Central Avenue via the Sears and Elder-Beerman parking lots.
But directly across the street where, unlike the Sonic situation, motorists must cross a dug-up Secor using a dirt berm to access businesses. Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken, at 3214 Secor Rd., said it is suffering badly due to the construction project.
Vice President Tanathan Nelson puts the fast-food store's losses at 30 percent-plus. "We are down over previous years' sales by six digits and climbing," Mr. Nelson said.
"Everybody here is frustrated. I've got [employees] with less hours because of this," he said.
Fortunately, the store is one of 33 Popeye's franchises owned by Milwaukee businessman John Brodersen. As such, there are no plans to close the store, Mr. Nelson said.
But, Mr. Nelson says, "We're in pain, we're definitely in pain."
Busy season
Behind Mr. Nelson's store, John Smith, manager of Home Depot at 3200 Secor Rd., has different concerns.
The home improvement store relies on about five deliveries per day by large semi-trucks. Getting them across the torn up section of the road and even being able to turn has been a delicate ballet.
Mr. Hamilton, the city's liaison, said that luckily, "Home Depot had some leeway on scheduling deliveries. They are not having early morning deliveries and you can actually get into that site from any of five driveways.
"But it's been a tricky point and we'll have to wait and see how those trucks will handle those ramps in the next few months," Mr. Hamilton said.
And Mr. Smith, the store manager, said the deliveries will increase soon. Spring is like Christmas for home improvement stores.
Not surprisingly, Mr. Smith is anxious about whether customers will flock to the store like they normally do.
"We're just really waiting for spring to hit to see what happens," Mr. Smith said. "We've got a good core of customers and so far people are finding ways to get here. It's been amazing.
Maggie Stein, manager of the nearby Schoolbelle's school uniform supply store at 3324 Secor Rd., will be watching to see what happens to Home Depot.
Currently, sales at Schoolbelles are exceedingly slow. But that has nothing to do with construction, Ms. Stein said.
"This time of the year we aren't busy at all — ever. Our busy time is in the summer, July and August," she said. "So now we're just stuck waiting for it to happen. Most of our customers already know there's a lot of construction going on. We don't know what will happen later on."
Amid the anguish and uncertainty is nearly unanimous agreement that the when the project is done, nearly all the businesses will benefit from a reconstructed Secor Road.
Jeff Bankey, owner of Russ' Auto Wash at 3125 Secor Rd., said, "You go through the bad to get to the good. It's not always fun, but yeah, it's going to be very good."
"It was needed, the place was a mess," he added.
Mr. Bankey owns a second car wash on Secor at Laskey Road, just a few hundred feet from where a different section of Secor was repaired a year ago. That project took more than a year, he said, and there were days on end when the road was torn up but no construction was taking place.
"That other stretch, they tore up over a mile … and it was mostly residential. This one section, it's a lot more commercialized," said Mr. Bankey, who added his sales are down 20 percent at the car wash near Central Avenue.
"The city, they've been beyond good. They've been working day and night. At Sylvania and Laskey, it was just terrible," he said. "So yes, it's affected our business. It's a pain, but it's been beautiful. If I had a complaint, I'd tell you."

Online sa prevodom At the beginning of the 20th century, China is in a state of crisis. The country is split into warring factions, the citizens are starving, and recent political reforms have made matters worse, not better. The ruling Qing Dynasty, led by a seven-year-old emperor, and his ruthless mother, Empress Dowager Longyu is completely out of touch after 250 years of unquestioned power. Huang Xing has recently returned from Japan, where he has studied the art of modern warfare. When he finds his country falling apart, he feels he has no choice but to pick up the sword.

Tanya commenced her role as Family Support Officer in Feb '12 as she was finishing off the last units of her ECU degree 'Bachelor of Social Science' – this was a brand new role at PYS.
PYS Family Support is a free service to support and strengthen young people (11 to 25 yrs) and their families in the Peel Region. It provides: family relationship mediation, parenting education, advocacy, referral and linkages to appropriate government and non-government agencies and services needed to address presenting issues or barriers, ie: drug & alcohol abuse, family & domestic violence, mental health issues, homelessness, disengagement & social isolation, poverty.
What's Offered:
- Identifying and working to overcome barriers that youth and their families face.
- Improving access to a range of resources
- Linkages to education, training, health, recreation, accommodation, Centrelink and more.
- Supporting and education parents of teens
- Improving family relationships
- Advocacy for youth and their families.
" By supporting and strengthening families we can promote positive relationships and pathways to enhance outcomes for our young people".
Some of my personal family support highlights
- A 14yo girl had run away from home due to abuse from her mother, staying at a friends home.. I advocated for her with C/link & Education Dept to overcome multiple barriers. This girl's life 2 years on is going fantastic.
- Mother & 2 daughters all with depression, Mum unable to work due to back injury, struggling financially not thinking they could get C/link benefits. I linked them and got all of them on benefits & linked to counselling. Mum is now a R/Estate Mngr and girls are back in edn.
- 3 teen siblings homeless.. all couch surfing at varied friends places. No father in their lives, mum with issues of mental health and drug use. (each child had been in foster cared). I advocated for them to get a rental property together and got many welfare donations to get their house fully furnished.
- I advocated for an Indigenous mother and son who had experienced horrific D.V. – son was getting into drugs and crime. Mother wanted to return to NSW to be re-united and supported by her Koori family. I raised funds to get their airfares to be able to relocate.
Tanya's work to highlight the issue of 'Youth Violence in the Home' (YVITH)
Early in my role as Family support officer I identified that many of the mum's I was working with were struggling with abuse, property damage and violence from their teens – and in conjunction with this – that many of these teens were disengaged from school and in many cases not leaving the home to mix with peers or the community.
I quickly realized the serious 'Gap' in WA for effectual responses and interventions. In 2015 I released the research report 'Youth in the Peel Region who are violent in the home and/or severely disengaged', and have done extensive networking interstate and nationally to establish a knowledge base of others working in this field and best models of practice.
In March 2016 I organized WA's first professional training on responding to YVITH and brought the Aust. expert 'Jo Howard' over to facilitate and to share her experience and knowledge of providing the program 'Step Up' which tackles the issue of YVITH.
Since then I successfully received funding grants from the City of Mandurah and Bendigo Bank to allow Peel Youth Service to provide the 'Step Up' program, being one of only 2 organizations in the whole of WA to do so.
In recognition of our contributions in this field – PYS were invited to be one of only 2 WA organizations to partner in the National research project 'PIPA': Positive Interventions for the Perpetrators of Adolescent Violence in the Home, being conducted by RMIT University Victoria – this research team will be in WA in the week of Oct 9 – 13th and I have been invited to be a panel member at a Forum that will be held at ECU Mt. Lawley on Wed. 11th to discuss this project and provide community awareness of this issue.
In 2016 I was awarded the 'City of Mandurah – Perth Convention Bureau Aspire Scholarship' for the work I have done in WA in this field, and have been fortunate to have attended a conference as part of this award and hope through my collaborations to be part of a team organizing a conference here in WA that features the issue of YVITH.
(NOTE: We are currently taking Referrals for the Term 4 Step-Up Program- pls contact our office if you would like to discuss)
Local MP Andrew Hastie, David Templeman MLA, Telethon researcher Megan Ansell, and representatives from schools and support organisations gathered at Lotteries House Mandurah to celebrate the launch of the Peel Alliance Interventions for Teen Anger and Violence (PAITAV) on Thursday.
The alliance gathers local organisations, government entities and NGOs under the same banner to team up in the fight against youth violence and abuse in the Peel region.
The initiative was first drafted by local youth violence expert and Peel Youth Services worker Tanya Langford in an attempt to raise awareness about the issue and the solutions at reach within Western Australia.
Recognizing the value to our young people of spending time in nature, in 2016 I applied for funding through Shire of Murray, Murray Mayday and Pinjarra Junction shopping centre grants,- and was able to commence this project. Every 2nd Sunday a group of youth and their families are provided the experience of being taken to the beautiful Dwellingup forest for a bush-walk. Since then we have also incorporated fishing adventures/kayaking and estuary walks and are planning some camp-outs.
(Please see our facebook page: Peel Youth Bush Walks and Adventures )
Youth Violence in the Home – A mums story
DISOWNING a child when they become violent and disengaged is the only option some Mandurah parents feel they have. Mrs X lives day by day hoping her 14-year-old daughter never returns to the crime-riddled, drug-fuelled life she once had. Mrs X said many parents in the region felt they had to disown their child before they could get any help for them. "There is no support," she said. Two years ago Mrs X answered the phone to a woman who told her to check her 12-year-old's bed. "This was the first time my daughter ran away to the drug house," she said. "I've had police help me get her out but sometimes it could be up to six weeks before I'd see her again."
In 2015 Mrs X said her daughter became involved in multiple crime sprees which involved stealing and burning out vehicles from Mandurah to Esperance. "She and others were breaking into homes when people were sleeping in their beds and stealing keys," she said. "When she would show up at the house I would tell her to hand herself in to the police.
"She was violent towards me; I was on stress leave from work and taking medication to cope with it. "I loved my daughter but didn't know what to do." Ms Robinson said the response from the justice system towards her daughter's crimes was a vicious cycle and one that didn't help. "Peel Youth Services were the only ones who were helpful in the whole process," she said. "She now has more than 30 criminal charges and has spent three months in custody. "I hope we have seen the worst of it.'
Peel Youth Services family support Officer Tanya Langford said others who worked in this sector agreed something needed to be done to enhance responses to youth violence in the home. With the issue growing she said no intervention programs in Western Australia specifically targeted youth violence in the home.
"Peel Youth Services has applied for funding to provide the Step Up program which is running in Victoria and South Australia," she said.
Ms Langford said the justice system response needed to be enhanced.
Dianne's Story': A Testimonial from a mother
My name is Dianne and my son Michael and I have been going through this terrible situation for the past 5 years. In the beginning, there were terrible occurrences of bullying – the most severe being a group of older boys attacking my son at school with baseball bats when he was at the tender age of 7 years old. My son was always the quiet, reserved type of child, always studious and gentle natured and a target for bullies. He was picked on relentlessly for being quiet by both students and teachers. Schools would simply dismiss the events and tell me that boys will be boys and that he needed to "suck it up and toughen up". Being cornered and attacked by a group of boys in the school yard is NOT normal and is NOT something that should be dismissed. Relentless is the only word to best describe the years of bullying at different schools – and it has changed our lives forever…
In the past 5 years, he has gone from attending school every day, to only 2 weeks this current year. Last year was about 15%, the year before 40% and so forth as you go back the last 5 years.
My once quiet and good natured boy has turned into a violent, extremely disobedient, spiteful and terrifying young man. He has destroyed property within my home, damaged my car, is repeatedly violent to me – breaking my arm on one occasion – and is essentially my 12 year old abusive husband. He constantly abuses me and yet makes calls to the police accusing me of abusing him, laughing as he hangs up and threatens me saying he knows all he has to do is lie and I go to jail. This did result in DCP investigating me this year for Child Abuse! Just last month he self- harmed and then rang my mother to 'Rescue Him'. I cannot even begin to describe the degree of manipulation and terrifying environment I live in every single day.
We have had years of intervention with doctors, psychologists and therapy services, such as DCP, Kids Psychology, MST for 6 months, Police, Down South Therapy, CAMMS assessment, school psychologists, counsellors and Peel Youth Services (who is our current help), I have tried every suggestion but nothing has worked!. My son ignores the therapist or psychologist and refuses to participate – which means people simply give up on us. The Peel Youth Services Family Worker has been fantastic in understanding this predicament and has tried with the school and other linkages to get help. Unfortunately there are very limited services and help available to assist us in this nightmare of a situation that we are living. Won't someone please help us?!!!! Please….
I have had to give up work to become a full time carer as my son does not like to leave the house and does not attend school regularly enough for me to maintain employment. Our financial situation is dire to say the least and we struggle day to day to make ends meet. I cannot leave the house which makes us both essentially prisoners in these four walls. We cannot keep going like this, life is slipping away and we are rotting away here in this home…Michael is now 12 years old and if things keep going as they are, I fear so much for his future. I fear that with no schooling and no socialization, he will never be able to find employment or become a decent, contributing member of society. He will become one of those drop out, forgotten individuals with failure in their future – which is a tragedy considering he is highly intelligent and a gifted computer programmer. I fear for my future too… I cannot continue to support him into his 20's and 30's but where can he go and what can he do with a future looking so bleak. What would happen, heaven forbid if I die and he is left alone to fend for himself? I cannot accept this kind of life is going to be for the rest of our lives…
