FOOD FOR THOUGHT Food insecurity is a growing issue for some families in Durham Region, and local officials are sounding the alarm Jennifer O’Meara jomeara@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- More Durham families are likely struggling to put healthy meals on the table, in light of a recent report showing the cost of nutritious food for a family of four is now up to $830 a month. “It isn’t just about low-income people. This affects everyone,” said Ben Earle, executive director of Feed the Need in Durham. “All families are affected and it affects their food choices over all.” Durham Region health department’s 2015 Nutritious Food Basket report shows that from 2010 to 2015, the cost of a basic healthy diet for a family of four has increased significantly, from $702 a month to $830.

Currently, the roughly 20,000 full-time students at Durham College, UOIT and Trent in Oshawa pay $120 per semes- ter to DRT for the U-Pass, whether they use the service or not. DRT has proposed raising that fee over two years to $150 per semester by January 2018. The issue was recently deferred to a December meeting of the Region’s Transit execu- tive committee. Student Association president Jesse Cullen points out making the DRT U-Pass more expensive hurts students. “UOIT students pay the highest on average tuition fees in Canada and any increase in fees is problematic for us because it does put a financial burden on students,” he said. According to DRT, the U-Pass revenue from students currently covers 21 per cent of the cost of delivering the tran- sit service to students. The remainder of the cost comes primarily from prop- erty taxes. U-Pass ridership is trending to 2.81 million rides this year and U-Pass users are expected to account for 26 per cent of DRT riders this year. Vincent Patterson, general manag- er of DRT, said the U-Pass fare is being reviewed just like general fares are reviewed, and if the U-Pass fares aren’t increased then property taxpayers make up the difference. With the increase, U-Pass users would be paying roughly $48 per month, the second highest U-Pass rate in Ontario, points out Mr. Cullen. But Mr. Patterson counters that it’s still less than the regular student pass that high school students use, which costs $91 per month. “Anything that’s well below half of that for the semester is a pretty good deal,” said Mr. Patterson. The DRT general manager agreed that the Durham U-Pass is the second most expensive in Ontario, after Ottawa, but pointed out that the cost is affected by how many people use it and said that in Toronto, where the vast majority of stu- dents use transit, there is no U-Pass. Mr. Cullen also said he believes stu- dents consider the U-Pass when select- ing a school and believes that the eco- nomic benefits that the university brings to Durham should be taken into account. “What I would emphasize is when it comes time for us to set fares it really is a strictly budgetary, financial process, it’s not a macroeconomic exercise where we take into account the contributions of the destinations we serve or the health benefits ... I’m just trying to make sure my budget’s balanced,” responded Mr. Patterson. Mr. Cullen, however, said the regions that are taking poverty and climate change seriously are working on ways to decrease public transit fares and in some cases eliminate them altogether. “We’re not just concerned with stu- dents,” he said. “We don’t want to pit students against other transit users, our belief is we should have a robust affordable transit system for everybody, including the broader community.” Metroland file photo DURHAM -- UOIT and Durham College students are facing a 25-per cent increase in the cost of a U-Pass bus pass for use on Durham Region Transit.

Pickering council appoints Kevin Ashe to Regional seat City council will make decision on byelection for local seat at Nov. 16 meeting Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Council has chosen to appoint a current City councillor to the empty seat at the regional level, rather than hold a byelection for the position. Ward 1 City Councillor Kevin Ashe became Ward 1 Regional Councillor in a unanimous decision at the Nov. 2 Pickering council meeting. Pickering- Uxbridge MP-elect Jennifer O’Connell left council after winning in the Oct. 19 fed- eral election. Coun. Ashe thanked his fellow council- lors for their support. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said of his new role after being sworn in. Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean -- initially appointed from a local to Regional role himself when Mark Hol- land was elected as Ajax-Pickering MP in 2004 -- brought forward a motion that the appointment take place. He didn’t like the idea of holding a bye- lection for the Regional seat because if Coun. Ashe were to run and win, there would be a second byelection held at the local level as well. By appointing Coun. Ashe, he said there would only be one byelection necessary, which is expected to cost $82,000. He also said Coun. Ashe has a long his- tory in the community and experience as a councillor, specifically in Ward 1. “I know Kevin Ashe has represented this ward and has a good handle on ... the issues and things affecting the ward,” said Coun. McLean. Ward 3 Regional Councillor David Pick- les said Coun. Ashe “always takes a com- mon sense approach. He’s always clear and concise.” Ward 2 City Councillor Ian Cumming also felt the appointment was justified. “To me it’s the logical step,” he said. “The people in the ward voted for him.” Peter Rodrigues, a former Ward 3 regional councillor, shared his distaste for the appointment at the meeting. “I was disappointed that the council- lors would not hold a public byelection for the vacant council position,” he said afterward. He criticized council for appointing without “an open process of soliciting applications for appointment. “By who they appointed to an elect- ed position, council has now produced another vacancy for the City councillor position,” he said. Mr. Rodrigues said after the meeting he is now planning to run for the local seat. Chris Van der Vliet, Ward 1 resident and small business owner, announced Mon- day that she will run too. “I’m excited by the prospect of serv- ing on council,” she said. “I know I have a solid set of skills that prepare me for the job ahead. Pickering needs a change in direction, not because we’re off course, but because the future presents new chal- lenges that require a new way of think- ing.” Lisa Robinson, a member of the Rotary Club of Pickering board of directors who ran against Coun. Ashe in the last elec- tion, has also shown interest. Ward 3 City Councillor Rick Johnson is skeptical about holding a byelection even for the local seat, as voter turnout is low in byelections as it is, let alone in the winter. “I would suggest with the amount of turnout you get in the summer, the win- ter is even less, and to spend that kind of money on a byelection in December and January, I cannot support a byelection,” he said. But the other councillors voted to bring the discussion of a byelection to the Nov. 16 council meeting, and most indicated they will support calling one. “Members of council, democracy is expensive and democracy is expensive because it’s important. And I believe it will meet the demands of our residents,” said Mayor Dave Ryan. If a byelection is called at the next coun- cil meeting, it’s expected to take place in late January.

New YorkFilm Academy & Los Angeles Film Academy Teacher deal means report cards will go out in Durham Months of tense, on-and-off talks end with tentative agreement Monday with elementary teachers Kristin Rushowy and Robert Benzie newsroom@durhamregion.com TORONTO — Deals with the province’s ele- mentary teachers and support staff have put an immediate end to all job action, meaning fall report cards will be sent home to 817,000 elementary students -- though slightly later than usual -- extracurricular activities can resume and schools will now be fully cleaned. Tentative agreements with the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario and CUPE were reached after tense, around-the-clock talks that began last week and went all week- end before the first real breakthrough came early Monday. CUPE, representing 55,000 education workers, was the first to announce a deal, and by midday some schools said their hallways had already been tidied by custodial staff. News for the 78,000 public elementary teachers came around suppertime Monday, with Education Minister Liz Sandals say- ing “we have specifically agreed that the full progress reports -- including comments -- will be prepared for all the elementary stu- dents in the English public system” and go out by Dec. 11. “I know that parents are very anxious to get that information,” she said at a hastily called news conference at Queen’s Park. However, conceding the bargaining pro- cess “has not always been easy,” the minister has given school boards the power to dock the pay of 12,000 support staff represented by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Fed- eration, which still has not settled their con- tract. “Job action is negatively impacting our stu- dents. Schools have become increasingly dirty and we’re increasingly concerned about the health, safety and well-being of our stu- dents,” said Ms. Sandals, adding it’s up to each employer whether to slash 10 per cent of workers’ pay for not doing their job. “This cannot go on.” Michael Barrett, president of the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association which bar- gained the deals with the government and public teacher unions, said boards are not yet looking at doing so in the hopes a deal will soon be reached with OSSTF, which repre- sents staff in a number of Ontario boards. As for talks with the elementary teachers and CUPE, he said “things started to fall into place around 2 to 3 o’clock (Monday morn- ing) -- there were a couple of snags along the way, but all of the parties didn’t give up, they kept at it. “There were some frayed nerves and some concerns, but they kept at it.” Mr. Barrett, a trustee with Durham District School Board, would only say that progress- report cards “were an essential piece, put- ting together the framework that ensured our families’ and communities’ needs were heard” after an outcry over the possibility stu- dents may not get them this fall, after receiv- ing incomplete final reports last June because of teachers’ work-to-rule. Teachers and support staff have been with- out contracts since last August, and after issues surrounding the province’s new two- tier bargaining were sorted out, talks were on-and-off during this past spring, summer and into the fall. While details of the elementary teachers’ contract have not yet been made public, Ms. Sandals said it is “fairly similar” to the deals reached with public high school teachers, Catholic teachers and French-board teach- ers. Those included a 1 per cent bonus, a 1.5 per cent raise over three years and steps to have unions run their own benefits plans. Issues like class size are to be examined by a joint committee. Ms. Sandals emphasized the deal is “still a net zero” like the other settlements because overall the education budget will not change, and said neither ETFO nor CUPE received any money to offset bargaining costs, unlike the controversial $2.5-million payout to the other three unions. Sources said one issue, surrounding sick time, could not be sorted out between ETFO and the government and will be sent to arbi- tration as part of the tentative deal. While the Province still has to reach deals with a few, smaller education unions, the set- tlements with these two major unions are a much-needed political win for Premier Kath- leen Wynne’s Liberals, who had set Sunday as an initial deadline before slapping financial penalties for job action. “This round of bargaining has been excep- tionally lengthy and difficult but in the end we achieved a tentative agreement that ETFO believes is fair and meets the needs of our members,” said Sam Hammond, president of the 78,000-member union, in a written state- ment, adding that a ratification vote will be held by mid-November. Mr. Hammond advised teachers to sus- pend their work-to-rule, which has cancelled field trips, meet-the-teacher nights and other parent-teacher interviews, as well as banned extracurriculars. Details of the CUPE settlement will not be released until it is ratified by its members, who work across all four public systems as education assistants, custodians, school staff and early childhood educators. The impasse with the OSSTF-represented support staff is reportedly over benefits. As for the threat of docked pay, union president Paul Elliott said via Facebook that “we strong- ly believe in the collective bargaining pro- cess and we don’t respond to threats . . . We remain committed to a negotiated settlement and will continue work toward a fair agree- ment.” -- Torstar news services Yes, chef: Jamie Kennedy in Durham WHITBY -- Jamie Kennedy, celebrity chef and Durham College Centre for Food ambassador, chatted with diners Pam Desrochers and her husband Mike Desrochers at Bistro ‘67.

Diatribe? I would hardly call Mr. Crone’s fun comment a diatribe. Neil Crone is my hero. I recalled hav- ing a chuckle at Neil’s comment about Bea Arthur, among other comments, in that same column. I love Neil’s humour, as it seems it’s right there with my sense of humour. We seem to be mighty alike where humour is con- cerned. I only wish I could do what he does, as I have similar, fun thoughts that I’d love for people to pon- der. Neil’s tattoo reference about Bea Arthur was fitting for what he was getting at. It was fun ... perfect, actually. L.G. Snowden Inflation in Canada has risen by an average of 1.54 per cent per year over the last five years. Grocery costs in the same period have risen by an average of 3.6 per cent annually. What’s a hungry family in Durham to do? That’s a question being posed this week by Durham health department officials, especially as it relates to low-income fami- lies in the region who must spend a much higher proportion of monthly income on putting nutritious food on the table. Consider the contrast between a family of four earning $6,952 per month (the after-tax median income in Ontario) and a Durham Region family of four that requires social assistance. According to Durham’s figures, the first family will spend 17 per cent of its monthly income on purchasing food. The second family will spend upwards of 38 per cent of its monthly income on the same basket of foodstuffs. Once rent is factored in for the second family, they are paying 93 per cent of monthly income on food and shel- ter. One must wonder why, in a country as wealthy as Canada, some citizens must work to balance, often through no fault of their own, the imperatives of eating nutri- tiously and having a roof over their heads. However, there are options available via regional government that can assist indi- vidual families and social service groups in promoting food security in Durham. Tools include lists of food resources in the region such as prenatal nutrition programs, food banks and breakfast clubs. As well, groups can link clients to online learning sessions that cover food budgeting skills among other resources. Everyone in Durham, regardless of income or social status, deserves the basic food necessities. Those who are fortunate enough not to worry about food insecu- rity can directly assist through donations to non-profits with a focus on feeding the needy, through volunteering their time, or through contributing expertise to programs. As always, however, knowledge is power. We encourage residents to contact their Regional councillor to learn more, and take advantage of the resources and programs that are offered. For more information on the resources available, call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905-666-6241 (toll-free at 1-800-841-2729), or by visit- ing online at durham.ca/foodsecure.

Your move, Mr. Trudeau The results of the Oct. 19 election sent a clear message: Canadians were ready for a change in Ottawa. The victory was as decisive for the Liberals as it was devastating for the Conservatives. People were tired of Stephen Harper. Disdain for Mr. Harper, however, was only half the story. The Liberals ran a fantastic campaign, addressing many of the issues over which Canadians have expressed concern -- higher taxes for the wealthiest one per cent, genuine environmental policies, sensible laws surrounding marijuana, increased government transparency, decreased student debt -- and the list goes on. Of course, bold promises during an election campaign are not uncommon, especially for such a ‘grass-is-greener’ type campaign. However, there was one promise from Justin Trudeau that was par- ticularly interesting: the promise of electoral reform. Specifically, the scrapping of the first-past-the-post system for a system that would more accurately rep- resent the broader national support a party receives. Cries for change have come from both ends of the political spectrum, with both the right and left having suffered their share of defeats under a system that heavily penalizes dispersed geographic support, as well as heavily encouraging the use of strategic vot- ing. Currently, with the liberal vote being split between the Liberals, Greens, and NDP, the cry for change is coming loud from the left. With Trudeau’s promise, he was able to rally the left, with NDP and Green Party supporters alike hav- ing the motivation to strategically vote for a leader who promised them that with a Liberal victory, they would never be forced to vote strategically again. And now, Mr. Trudeau finds himself in a tricky situation -- he has pledged to rid Canada of the very system that propelled his government to a majority. Of all his grand promises, it will be most interesting to see how he handles this one. Will he back away from a promise that was so popular with Canadians, and was likely a large part of his success in this election? Or will he maintain his integrity, keep his promise, and thrust what could be a suicidal dagger into the heart of his chances at maintaining a majority govern- ment after the next federal election? Your move, Mr. Trudeau. -- Nolan Walsh lives in Cobourg and is a graduate of the political science program at Western University. Nolan Walsh Guest column Government Humour columnist Neil Crone My least favourite chore absolutely sucks I hate vacuuming. I always have. It is my least favourite household chore. I don’t mind doing laundry. In fact, laun- dry shouldn’t even really be on the ‘chore’ list. It’s far too passive. Laundry is essential- ly stuffing clothes into a machine, hitting a button and walking away. And if you’re like me, the button part makes it kind of fun. Washers and dryers, these days, come with more gadgetry and settings than a space shuttle. I’m not thrilled about what this says about my life but, on some days, mak- ing the call to go ‘Steam Refresh’ over full- on ‘Sanitize’ with an ‘Extended Tumble’ is about as exciting as it gets. Ironing, too, is not really on my ‘chore’ list for largely the same reason. My iron has more than enough dials and gizmos to keep my male gerbil brain fascinated. How could working with a tool that actual- ly shoots steam ever get boring? Plus, I find the act of ironing remarkably Zen. There is warmth and silence and a fluid repetitive motion whose entire purpose is to make things smooth and uniform. That is the very definition of meditation. Plus you get to shoot steam. Did I mention that? Dusting is yet another task that really doesn’t count, for the simple reason that I don’t do it. A chore, in my mind, needs to at least have some functionality or pur- pose behind it. If I do not wash my clothes I will become filthy and likely unemploy- able. Not good. If I eat off dirty dishes I run the risk of ingesting salmonella or E.coli. Also unpleasant. If I do not pick up the dog poop my neighbours will storm my house with torches. But if I don’t dust? Nothing happens. Things just get ... dusty. Big deal. Again, though, I should add that even if I were to dust I don’t think it would be too harrow- ing. Dusting is more or less running a rag over smooth surfaces. And ‘male’ dusting is even easier. We never have to move any- thing or pick anything up; if we encounter an object, we simply dust around it. Again, no biggie. But vacuuming is different. Vacuum- ing is diabolical. One becomes tethered to an infernal, rattling, banging, clumsy, angry-making contraption. If you have a canister vacuum it’s like dragging a mam- moth-sized, belligerent Slinky around the house. And you can never get a run at it. One is constantly stopping to move irritat- ingly present pieces of furniture. It’s like trying to mow a lawn through a chess set. And then there is the matter of the power cord, which is frankly never long enough and is therefore constantly being yanked out, making an already endless task even longer and involving a great deal of angry storming back and forth, accompanied by oaths that would make a carny blush. My ideal vacuum would be a cordless, battery-powered machine that I could either ride on or, through the use of a very cool joystick, operate remotely from the couch. Some kind of laser-guidance sys- tem would be neat and it would have far more settings than the anemic ‘bare floor’ and ‘carpet’. How can a man be expect- ed to stay on task for more than five min- utes with only two settings? I also think a beverage holder would be a nice addition. Vacuuming, even from the couch, is thirsty work. And, oh yeah ... it would be cool if it could shoot steam. -- Durham resident Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m 7 APAjax is hosting a public meeting on a proposal to expand the casino it hosts from 800 slots to 2,500, plus 200 gaming tables.

And for parents who feel too shy to talk to your children then you’re not worthy to be parents. Lisa Thertell: This new curriculum is more than just sex ed...my son told me tomorrow he has health class and he is gonna learn about vitamins and good foods to eat.... Chris Bain: It is the law that you MUST go to school until the age of 16. If these people want to keep their kids out of school, send the police and/or CAS. We’ll see how long they con- tinue protesting. Lyndsay Brown: Every kid should have the exact same sex Education. Some parents just can’t cover every- thing or won’t because of personal beliefs. But your beliefs are not necessarily your child’s beliefs. Michaela Helliwell: My parents didn’t know about STIs, or gender identity or a slew of other informa- tion to pass on to me. Wouldn’t it be fair for all youth to have the same sex educa- tion than to be on the extreme ends of the scale in knowledge with their peers? I would rather children of shy parents find out about things in school than on the Internet. Even now, my par- ents in their 70s approve of the new curriculum, and wish they had access to more information growing up. BEHIND THE LENS When I noticed this team with the monkey masks I hung around them waiting for this pic- ture to happen. The cyclist had flipped the mask up on top of his head so I knew I would get a funny picture if I shot from a high angle and the cyclist looked down. I waited for a few minutes and was rewarded with this shot. Shot at f/3.5, 1/125 sec, ISO 1600, 34mm RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND 10. Basketball 9. Walkie-talkie 8. Snow blower 7. Wonderbra 6.

Canadian Union of Public Employees has reached a tentative deal with the Prov- ince and the union was calling an end to its province-wide work-to-rule job action, which had seen caretakers refuse to clean hallways and some secretaries not buzz in visitors at the front door in a timely fash- ion. The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario continues to bargain with the Province. Negotiations between the ETFO and the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association are ongoing. The provincial government threatened to dock teach- ers’ pay if a deal hadn’t been reached by Nov. 1. Before pay can be docked, a school board must notify its employees five days in advance. CUPE represents 55,000 support work- ers, such as educational assistants, custo- dians, office administrators, early child- hood educators, tradespeople, instructors, library technicians, speech pathologists, and IT specialists. In a state- ment, OPBBA president and Oshawa Trustee Michael Barrett said, “Education workers deeply influence a pos- itive and pro- ductive learning environment for students and are supported in this role through the peace and stability that comes from successfully negotiated collec- tive agreements. We look forward to ratifi- cation so we can move forward in the best interests of our students.” The support workers have been without a contract since Aug. 31, 2014. Details of the agreement aren’t being released until it’s ratified by all parties. Once ratified, the agreement will be in effect until Aug. 31, 2017. Education Minister Liz Sandals said in a statement, “I am pleased to announce that a tentative agreement has been success- fully reached between CUPE, the trustee associations’ representing all four publicly funded education systems, and the Gov- ernment of Ontario. “The agreement recognizes the impor- tant work that education support workers do every day in our schools. They play an integral role in ensuring our schools pro- vide welcoming, safe and clean environ- ments that support student success,” she added. Like other unions in the education field, CUPE has been bargaining under a new process whereby central negotiations are happening concurrently with talks at board levels across the province. The tentative agreement covers central issues negotiated on behalf of education workers in all four school board systems: English public and Catholic, and French public and Catholic. The government and school boards’ associations already have ratified three- year deals with the province’s public high school teachers as well as the unions rep- resenting elementary and secondary Cath- olic teachers, and French public and Cath- olic board teachers.

The P er f ect Place to Stage Your Next Event... Outlines roles, responsibilities for residents, businesses DURHAM -- The Region wants to know -- Are You Ready? Durham’s new Are You Ready? bro- chure outlines how residents and busi- nesses can prepare for an emergency. The brochure helps increase aware- ness of the roles residents and busi- nesses have in the case of an emergency, what role the Region plays and where to access information in an emergency. “The new and improved flipbook-style Are You Ready? brochure is a valuable resource in personal emergency pre- paredness,” said Warren Leonard, direc- tor of the Durham Emergency Manage- ment Office. “Education and preparedness are the best defences for reducing the impact of an emergency situation. The Region and its local area municipalities have emergency plans and programs in place, which are regularly reviewed and prac- tised. However, your own disaster plan- ning is essential. We encourage you to get your copy of the new brochure today, so you can be prepared.” The brochure helps residents deter- mine their risks, make a plan, prepare a 72-hour emergency kit, and stay in touch with local media and official gov- ernment sources. It includes a nuclear awareness section, as well as emergency planning sheets, checklists and impor- tant contact information. With a new look and feel, the brochure features colourful infographics, helping to make the content more engaging and accessible to the public. Now available, the brochure was developed by the DEMO, in collabora- tion with its eight local municipal part- ners. Copies are available online at www. durham.ca/demo , by e-mail at demo@ durham.ca, by phone at 1-800-372-1102 ext. 2792, or can be picked up at the Regional headquarters at 605 Rossland Rd.

Known as the silent killer, CO is an invisible, tasteless and odourless gas that can be deadly and is produced when fuels such as propane, gasoline, natural gas, heating oil, or wood do not burn completely in fuel-burning appliances. “The law requires that you have a working CO alarm adjacent to each sleeping area, if your home has a fuel- burning appliance, a fireplace, or an attached garage,” said Pickering Fire Chief John Hagg. “For added protec- tion, install a carbon monoxide alarm on every storey of the home accord- ing to manufacturer’s instructions.” Fuel-burning appliances can include furnaces, hot water heaters, gas or wood fireplaces, portable fuel- burning heaters and generators, bar- becues, stoves and vehicles. “In Ontario, more than 80 per cent of injuries and deaths from CO occur in the home,” said Chief Hagg. “We urge residents to install CO alarms, and do everything they can to prevent CO in the home.” Residents should ensure all fuel- burning appliances in the home are inspected annually and all outside appliance vents are not blocked. Res- idents should never use a portable fuel-burning appliance inside. These include barbecues, portable heaters and generators. Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nau- sea, dizziness, and confusion, drowsi- ness, loss of consciousness and death. The CO alarm sounds different than a smoke alarm, and all occupants should know the difference. Resi- dents should also know the difference between the CO alarm’s low-battery warning, the end-of-life warning, and the alarm that sounds because of the presence of CO in the home.

After a Toronto FC soccer game, four men made sexist and degrading comments to a female reporter, who then confronted the men over their comments. Within days of the inci- dent, one of the men was identified and fired from his $107,000 a year engineering job with Hydro One because of his conduct. He was reinstated to his job just this week after a deal was reached with Hydro One. What many questioned was: Has the line between one’s private life and their job been erased or is it just blurry? While the Hydro One case is the most extreme, misconduct on social media has affected many others. In mid-August, Ala Buzreba, a Liberal candidate in Calgary-Nose Hill Riding, with- drew from the federal election race after a 2011 comment surfaced in which she told a Twitter user to “go blow your brains out”. Ms. Buzreba is 21 and a student at the Univer- sity of Calgary. The shifting landscape has both employ- ers and employees scrambling to understand what’s acceptable and what isn’t. Kyle Armagon, a lawyer who practises employment law with Walker Head, a Picker- ing firm, said the social media landscape has changed. “In the last five years, the landscape has changed. Employers and employees are real- izing this and it’s starting to come to the fore- front,” he noted. “People are very aware when they go for a job interview or are networking, the employer has done a simple Google search.” Employers are also checking Facebook, Twit- ter and Instagram, he said, calling those sites “the usual suspects.” He cautioned, “Once you’re hired, social media can be used against you in a detrimental way.” There’s an “arbitrary line that’s being blurred” between private life and a job, he said, noting it’s possible for actions in a private life to be used against an employee. He said people are “shocked” when they find out that this is the case. The situation with the Hydro One employee is “definitely on the extreme end.” When reviewing an employment contract, 99 per cent don’t say what can be used against an employee, Mr. Armagon noted. However, an employer would rely on “implied terms.” A contract would say an employee has to be at work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and it would contain a “duty of good faith, a duty to be honest and a duty to do what’s best for the employer,” he stat- ed. “Everything now is so instantaneous. Employ- ers are doing everything to cover themselves and protect their image.” He noted if an employee “makes inappropri- ate comments at a TFC game, Hydro One is now connected to this individual in a third-party way. If Hydro One didn’t take steps, they would be viewed as an employer that would allow this sort of conduct. Hydro One would argue it’s bet- ter for everybody that this sort of conduct can’t be tolerated.” Jonathan Obar, an assistant professor of com- munications and digital media studies in the faculty of social sciences and humanities at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, said social media is so commonplace, it affects both private and professional lives. “It’s been the new normal for quite some time. Things are more mainstream.” As for how companies are responding to the situation of social media affecting the work- place, Mr. Obar said, “It’s hard to general- ize because I think different organizations are approaching big data practices, social data, dif- ferently.” How social media affects an employee- employer relationship depends on the size of a company’s HR department, he noted. “Some are and some aren’t (affected). So much recent stuff is coming out. I’m hearing HR say- ing if we make all practices public, it will affect hiring.” He said job applicants should be wary about what to put on a resume as companies are doing systematic analysis. “Reputation management for individuals is the first step.” Companies are “more concerned about their online image,” Mr. Obar added. What people should be concerned about are ‘data brokers’ who gather information on peo- ple, even their shopping habits. “I say be careful what you put on your Shop- pers’ card or your Loblaws’ card. It could get you fired. That’s where it’s going,” Mr. Obar said. Matt Gaskell, the commissioner of corporate services for Durham, said the Region doesn’t have a specific policy in place, but added there are a variety of behavioural policies already in place, such as a code of ethics and one dealing with harassment. Part 4 DIGITALDANGERS See page 17 “Typically, those focus inward,” he said. An example in the code of ethics is not run- ning a business conflicting with the Region’s affairs. He said the code of conduct if someone were “posting things on social media about another employee, that could come into play. “There’s nothing specific. Generally, we expect staff to hold up to a certain standard,” Mr. Gaskell stated. He suggested an employee being disciplined “needs to be tied to the workplace or it’s so egregious it could affect work. It doesn’t hap- pen very often,” he noted. When employees are hired, “we tell them we have high expectations for their behaviour. Those expectations carry on through their careers. “We don’t specifically deal with external behaviour,” Mr. Gaskell said. It can have an impact at work if an employee made derogatory or defamatory comments, he noted. Employers will try to deal with it, but “getting drunk at a soccer game, swearing and saying derogatory things, that to me goes to core val- ues. There’s an expectation of civility employ- ers want,” he said. “It’s very much case by case,” he added. Kathy Gooding, the vice-president of human resources for Rouge Valley Health System, noted, “The opportunity to share information that’s inappropriate has changed. The policies of our organization haven’t changed.” Rouge Valley established a social media and web conduct policy in March 2011. One guideline noted, “Using social media to disrespect, harm, or embarrass RVHS as an institution, our patients and/or visitors, or co-workers, will not be tolerated. All RVHS employee-related policies apply to social media conduct whether done at/during work, off site, or after working hours.” David Brazeau, the director, public affairs, community relations and telecommunications for Rouge Valley, wrote the policy. Mr. Brazeau said the policies are based on the public and private sectors. “We’ve looked at others to make sure we had a good broad picture.” Ms. Gooding added employees should be respectful and avoid any involvement with staff in social media. “We may have been one of the first institutions in health care to have a poli- cy,” Ms. Gooding said. “We realized the landscape had changed.” Ms. Gooding noted, “We’ve never terminated anyone for violation of the policy.” “We haven’t had to deal with anything that extreme,” Mr. Brazeau added. As for someone releasing patient informa- tion, Ms. Gooding said the hospital has priva- cy policies “that come even before the social media policy. We don’t expect anything to be released. Patient information should never get into this kind of forum at all. That’s never been an issue.” Ontario Power Generation has a code of con- duct which employees are required to review annually through computer-based training. “Safety, integrity, excellence, people and citizenship. These are Ontario Power Genera- tion’s ethical values, and are the fundamental truths about OPG that don’t change. They clar- ify what is important in our organization, guide our behaviour and decision-making, and point the way to business conduct that results in suc- cessful individuals and a successful company,” the code noted. The introduction states, ‘We have all seen examples of companies or individuals who have not acted ethically and the damaging results. Customers question if they should con- tinue doing business with the company and the public loses confidence in what its employ- ees and leaders have to say. When people stop believing in you, the financial consequences may not be immediate, but loss is likely and it can be difficult to recover.” Mr. Armagon, the employment lawyer, said people are surprised that if they use a work- place e-mail account to send personal messag- es it can get them in trouble. Most employers have a policy about using the Internet to visit inappropriate sites, he noted. Employers can search employees’ e-mail and Internet use, even if the employee thought messages had been deleted. An employee might question what sort of intrusion into their private life is allowed. “Am I entitled to my private views? The argu- ment is a slippery slope,” Mr. Armagon said. Another change includes someone who has an accident or a fall. “Insurance companies are asking for and getting access to Facebook accounts.” Someone could say the accident or fall has affected their ability to enjoy life. Then, they may post pictures of a trip to Cancun. An insurance company may ask how the person can sit for a four-hour flight but they can’t sit at a desk. “Social media is moving across all areas of law,” he noted. Mr. Obar said that’s how big data is changing the game. Businesses are always looking for ways to be competitive and big data is a growing field. It’s not just a prospective employer doing a Google search on a possible hire. “That’s why the data brokerage business is booming,” he said, adding they are packaging information for niche markets. “It creates a very complicated scenario for the average person. How you manage what Google has and others is an area of research. “People are aware of a credit score. Simi- lar scoring systems are being used. Eligibility decisions they are making, who’s hired, who’s fired, who can cross the border,” Mr. Obar said. He said Canada’s privacy laws “don’t have the teeth” to deal with big data. “It’s exciting as the government catches up to what industry is doing.” He said the data “is easy to get.” He noted during a lecture at the Universi- ty of Toronto, students said there had been a battle on the campus over the school’s plan to outsource e-mails to Microsoft. The university wanted to do it to save money. He noted if someone were to have sent an e-mail alluding to their sexual orientation, a data brokerage could find that. “To think that data point could be used 10 years down the road, long after you forgot about sending that e-mail,” he said. “By law, you can’t be asked about your sexual orienta- tion (in a job interview).” But, examples such as this are being seen in the United States, he noted. Someone who has been charged with an impaired driving offence knows it’s on their record. “It’s the hidden area people are looking at.” He said a call to action is needed. “Privacy laws need to be changed, but only if the government makes it so. If people know how big data is affecting their life, they would make the govern- ment act.” “It’s all about rep- utation management. There’s a harsh split. There’s your profession- al face and your person- al face.” “Typically, those focus inward,” he said.with anything that extreme,” Mr. Brazeau getting access to Facebook accounts.” Continued from page 16, Social media has changed Durham employment landscape Kyle Armagon There is no question that the effects of social media are felt in our person- al lives. However, there is a disturbing trend clearly showing the negative effect social media is having in the workplace. I am not talking about the use of social media on company time, which is usu- ally covered by the employer’s policy. There have been numerous examples over the recent months of employees either being investigated or outright ter- minated due to the intersection between their personal social media accounts and their employment. To put it bluntly, the walls between personal privacy and the employment relationship have been blown apart. There are numerous cases before the courts which have held one’s right to pri- vacy will not be upheld if you are posting your views/photos on Facebook, Twit- ter, LinkedIn, etc. Employers are not only using these tools in the screening process for hiring but also using the evi- dence found on social media to uphold firings when the views expressed online contradict their employer or hold the employer in an unfavourable light. Employees should be very mindful of what they are posting and to whom. Privacy settings for posts allowing only a select few to view can be simply cop- ied and pasted to anyone, anywhere in a matter of seconds. As the recent incident between the Hydro One employee and the City TV reporter confirmed, ano- nymity in today’s age is virtually gone. There are extreme repercussions for what you post online and your employer is watching. Kyle Armagon is a lawyer with Walker Head in Pickering, where part of his prac- tice is employment law.

The report found that the cost to purchase groceries for a “nutritionally adequate diet” -- based on Canada’s Food Guide -- is $191 per week or $830 a month. The study doesn’t include the cost of any non-food items, prepared foods or restau- rant meals. Rising food costs makes it difficult for low- income families to afford a good diet when faced with housing and other fixed expens- es. Mr. Earle said he expected rising food prices to impact the quality and quantity of food that people are able to afford. He said it would mean families eating more pasta, and fewer meats and vegetables. Feed the Need in Durham is a food dona- tion hub that distributes food to approxi- mately 50 food banks, shelters and soup kitchens in Durham Region. It helps food banks and other organizations get fresh and frozen nutritious food to their clients. Higher food costs could mean more peo- ple need services from local food banks and soup kitchens to get a balanced meal, although Mr. Earle said that would difficult to track. “You’ll see a jump in people who are on the edge in the first place,” said Mr. Earle. “There are some people that use food banks regularly and others occasionally. That occasional group is going to be pushed by this at least in the short term.” Durham Outlook, operating St. Vincent Pallotti’s Kitchen in downtown Oshawa, serves an average of 130 people a day. Guy Sparkman, 56, was a furniture mover who loved his work and was good at it, but he was injured last year. “I’m on (Ontario Works) right now so I’m struggling with putting food on the table at all,” said Mr. Sparkman. “I wouldn’t survive without this place as far as getting a bal- anced meal.” Several times a week he relies on the soup kitchen for healthy meals for himself and his five-year-old son, Ashton, who likes the ham served at the soup kitchen and, of course, the dessert. “(Dad) likes the chicken,“ said Ashton. “The chicken’s good,” agreed Mr. Spark- man. At home Mr. Sparkman said he mostly eats sandwiches, consisting of bread and pro- cessed lunch meat. When asked which fruits and vegetable he eats at home, Mr. Spark- man said, “It’s unaffordable. It’s not in my budget right now.” In this area, nine per cent of households experience some degree of food insecurity, according to the health department. Food insecurity is when families worry that food will run out, they have to compromise on the quality and/or quantity of food they eat, or they have to reduce their food intake. “Studies have shown that adults in food insecure households have poorer self-rated health, poorer mental and physical health, poorer oral health, greater stress and are more likely to suffer from chronic condi- tions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and anxiety,” said Deborah Lay, a regis- tered dietitian and public health nutrition- ist with the health department. “For many families in Durham Region, after paying for shelter and other living expenses, there isn’t enough money left over to afford a healthy diet.” Lois Mallet, 66, has been out of work since 1997 and is on government assistance. She gets an income of $2,000 a month and her rent is $1,000 a month. Ms. Mallet relies on support from St. Vincent Pallotti’s Kitchen and Gate 3:16 Outreach Centre several times a week. She also cooks for herself at home and has noticed the cost of food is rising. “The cost of meat especially has gone up. It’s ridiculous. I try to buy fish and chick- en, it’s cheaper,” said Ms. Mallet. “To have strong bones and energy, to be healthy, it’s important to eat well. People will have to really budget carefully because of the costs of food.” In Newcastle, the Clarington East Food Bank tries to offer healthier pantry staples, such as crackers with less salt and whole- grain breads and pastas, explained co-ordi- nator Marni Lewis. Some people who use the food bank appreciate the healthy options, but many are just focused on putting food on the table, she said. Ms. Lewis said thanks to donations from farmers, there is currently a lot of fresh pro- duce available in the food bank. The Clar- ington East Food Bank doesn’t use cash donations to buy fresh produce, but it does provide milk, eggs and a small variety of fro- zen meats. Fresh produce is only given to clients if it has been donated. “We do buy our groceries and we notice the price of everything has gone up,” said Ms. Lewis. “Healthy food is expensive but we find almost everything has gone up.” If food production costs rise too high, there could be less donated to Feed the Need from food producers, but Mr. Earle said that hasn’t happened yet. If rising food costs do mean fewer food donations, Mr. Earle said Feed the Need would turn to using cash donations through its food purchasing program. He said that program isn’t very large now but the agency would focus on expanding it if needed. “Our goal is to make sure people don’t just have food, they have healthy food,” said Mr. Earle.

Food inse- curity for some struggling Durham Region families means difficult choices, along with the use of church and social service group food banks to close the gap. Some Durham families struggle daily When you decide to dine out, it’s important to choose the right restaurant according to your taste. Choosing well will allow you to have an enjoyable outing that meets your expectations. A pub and its lively atmosphere is the ideal place to enjoy a good meal. Loud music or the sound of televised sports events will mean you can have lively conversations without disturbing the other customers. For a romantic evening, or for serious conversations, a restaurant with a quieter atmosphere and ﬁ ltered lighting would be a more appropriate choice. A FAMILY MEAL If you’re going out with the children, the ideal choice would be a family restaurant with a playroom or some other kind of entertainment, such as placemats to colour. Here you can eat quietly without the children getting impatient. NEW RESTAURANTS Of course it’s always reassuring to choose a well-established restaurant that has a good reputation. However, discovering new restaurants, which frequently offer an innovative culinary experience such as fusion cuisine, veg- etarian meals, raw food dishes, etc, can make a nice change. LIMITED BUDGETS Even if you have a limited budget for eating out you’ll always be able to ﬁ nd somewhere that suits your needs. To save money, keep in mind that many restaurants offer weekday specials or menus that can be shared. If you avoid ordering appetizers or aperitifs, it will not only result in a smaller bill but you’ll also be able to eat out more often!

But you have another option: Life Insurance.And it offers some potentially significant advantages. For example, if you purchase mortgage insurance, the lender is the beneficiary. But when you own a life insurance policy, you get to choose the beneficiary. Once your beneficiary receives the tax-free death benefit, he or she can choose whether to pay off the mortgage or replace lost income. In fact, life insurance can be customized to meet your specific needs. Also, if you move, or move your mortgage, your mortgage insurance ends. But your life insurance policy is “portable” and it goes wherever you go. Finally, your mortgage insurance will become relatively more expensive over time, because the amount you owe will decrease, but your insurance premiums won’t. However, your life insurance premiums pay for the same amount of insurance for the entire life of the policy. If you’ve got a mortgage, consider protecting it with life insurance. It may be a smart move. Insurance and annuities are offered by Edward Jones InsuranceAgency (except Quebec).

When it’s four in four, that’s unheard of. That’s what the Pickering Panthers faced this past weekend during a quirk in the schedule, with a pair of home games and two more on the road resulting in collecting just two of eight points. But the first excuse at the ready of being a tired bunch wasn’t one that head coach Matt Carroll was using. “Obviously it’s not ideal. I don’t know if it was the wedding request. I know that put us down a game or two that weekend,” he said of his wedding that took place earlier in the season, with the Panthers asking for time off to accommodate the nuptials. “We only had 12 games played and a lot of teams had 16 to 18. We were going to have to catch up at one point. It was out of our hands. “Tired is more a mental state. The guys competed hard so I don’t think it was an issue. It didn’t have anything to do with wins or losses.” Entering the weekend on the strength of a two-game winning streak, and having earned points in five of six, the Panthers came up short on home ice against the Kingston Voya- geurs on Friday, Oct. 30, losing 6-2. They were edged 3-2 in Aurora the following night, came back home to register a 4-1 win over Wellington, then closed out the stretch with a 4-3 setback in Cobourg on Monday, Nov. 2. While the young club picked up two points and remain at the .500 mark with a record of 8-8-0-2 overall, Carroll firmly believed they deserved a better fate in the four games. “We got two out of eight points, but I thought we deserved five,” he said, forced to watch from the stands while still serving a seven-game suspension. “I thought a point in Aurora was deserving and two (Monday) night. Losing 3-1 in the third period (Mon- day) night is not ideal. (Cobourg) capitalized on three mistakes and they all ended up in the back of our net. “We limited their shots and played a good team defensive game, which is something we’ve been working on. That’s the type of game we want to play. We are going to get our ours. We are going to score.” In the three losses, they each had a com- mon theme, with the final outcome not decided until the third period. Against Kings- ton, the Panthers were behind 3-2 after the second, but allowed three unanswered over the final 20 minutes of the game. In Cobourg it was much the same, leading 2-1 after two periods, but surrendering three in a row to start the third period. The loss in Aurora came late, the winning goal coming with just 1:55 to go in the game. The third period was a little kinder against Wellington, the Panthers scoring twice in the final 3:11 to pull away. Things will be a little more manageable this weekend as the team travels to Markham on Friday, Nov. 6, then hosts Lindsay on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex. Sunday’s game will mark Carroll’s return behind the bench, out since an altercation on the ice involving his players on Oct. 18 against Oakville. Not surprisingly, he can’t wait. “It’s safe to say I’ve learned my lesson,” said Carroll, who wasn’t involved in the melee, but was held accountable for his team’s actions. “I’m ready to get going here.” PICKERING -- Pickering Panthers’ Mitchell Waldron grabbed Kingston Voyageurs’ Connor Bebb’s stick as Brandon Nadeau stretched for the puck in Ontario Junior Hockey League action at the Pickering Recreation Complex. Jason Liebregts / Metroland Dillon Campbell sets record in playoff victory HAMILTON — Whitby’s Dillon Campbell isn’t ready to see his collegiate football career come to an end just yet. On the strength of one of the greatest single-game performances in school histo- ry, the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks upset the No. 6 McMaster Marauders 29-15 in the OUA quarter-finals on Saturday, Oct. 31. Star running back Dillon Campbell, the Hawks’ all-time leading rusher and the holder of six Laurier rushing records, broke one of his own against the defend- ing Yates Cup champions as he ran for a single-game school record of 295 yards to lead the purple and gold to their first playoff victory since 2010. “Honestly, I approach it like every other game,” said Campbell of his mindset com- ing into the contest. “Dialed in, confident in myself and confident in my team. I came here ready to work.” On top of setting Laurier’s single-game rushing record, Campbell, a graduate of St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering, also set the OUA record for most carries in a game as he ran 40 times, aver- aging 7.4 yards per carry. Campbell finished the afternoon just 32 yards shy of the OUA all-time single game playoff rushing record of 327 yards set by Ottawa’s Davie Mason in 2008 The Hawks will now move on to face the No. 2 Western Mustangs in the confer- ence semifinals. Campbell, 23, is coming off a season in which he was named the 2014 OUA MVP, an OUA first team all-star and CIS first team all-Canadian. The most telling award was one he didn’t win, named a finalist for the Hec Creighton Trophy as the country’s most valuable player. He was a fifth-round selection of the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL draft, but returned to Laurier for a fifth and final year after being released to complete his kinesi- ology and physical education degree. du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • No v e m b e r 4 , 2 0 1 5 23 AP Call: 1-888-806-1856 Visit: triOSdurham.com Campus: 200 John St. W.
