David's Corner

Last night the big time came in to the Windy City as the Chicago Cubs clinched their division in a most challenging way! They first had to win a wild card game, then beat the team with the most wins in major league baseball. Who knows if we will play east or west for the NLCS? I don't know, but the Cubs are the best! Stand by for more...

Young adults don't respect authority and cause trouble in malls with patrons and shop keepers.Their loud  talk, graffiti, shoplifting, and taunting of senior citizens makes the mall an unsafe environment for the taxpaying public. Our younger generation needs more positive  role models and people, like family members/athletes/celebrities/teachers, to help them stay on the right track. Getting on the right track might mean getting a job in one of the mall stores. If all of the young adults have jobs and pay taxes,  they will have no time to cause a disturbance.

When lovers can't wait to get  home / somewhere private and start making out in the stairways and bathrooms, it's wrong and it could become a serious problem. If any of the Anixter staff get a report of this kind of behavior, it could have consequences for all of us and the investigation makes Anixter Center look bad. So, young adults, control your instincts and keep it friendly!

Anixter town hall meetings are not just for whining about the same problems over and over, but for sharing ideas respectfully. Staff should stand back and let adults work problems out by themselves, but they should be ready to step in, if needed. I would like to see more people learn to talk for themselves. This simple change will make the meeting go by much faster.

Police brutality is obnoxious, uncalled for, and a waste of  taxpayer money. It's disgusting how something pretty small like a traffic stop can turn into a media circus, when a cop uses their badge as a shield to do wrong. We need to screen and train our police better.They must not have a history of violence or abuse. We need to teach them psychology, communications and social services. We need to help them use more of the love we know they have in their hearts with patience and compassion. I think that with a little research, we will find my program reduces violence and trauma for everyone.

Hazing is a set of rituals people go though when they join a new group. This is something that has been around since parents have been having children. Hazing happens because people do it to be accepted by the group. Usually, hazing is harmless. Sometimes hazing is torture and can hurt or kill a person. At colleges and universities, police have reported serious psychological, emotional and physical scarring from drinking games that had terrible consequences. Some kids have died, the lucky ones have only been expelled. This is an important public safety issue. I think these kids should be sent to boot camp.What do you think?

I was recently asked to write a short entry for a dear friend's blog. You can read it here: https://emilyadannunzio.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/guest-blogger-david-wankovsky-shares-his-thoughts-about-dancemovement-therapy/
