Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- It’s not always easy to transi- tion from one phase of life to another. That’s where Jacky’s Place comes in. The home is a new initiative of the Dur- ham Youth Housing and Support Servic- es, which will provide transitional hous- ing to youths between 16 and 24 years.

Located on Kings Crescent in Ajax, the home will house up to five youths at a time. Jacky’s Place is affiliated with Joanne’s House, an emergency youth shelter also on Kings Crescent. Ms. Vanderneut said those who will stay at Jacky’s Place must first complete a 30-day stay at Joanne’s House. As for prospective residents at Jacky’s “maybe they’re missing some life skills,” Ms. Vanderneut noted, such as not being able to budget. “We’ll work on a plan identifying areas they feel they are lacking. It could be cooking skills or getting back into school,” she said. Ms. Vanderneut said in an interview the residents “will come from a variety of referral services.” She described the house as “semi-individu- al care.” Ms. Vanderneut or a caseworker will work with each resident to come up with a plan. “We’ll come here and see how it’s going.” Setting up the facility has been a goal of the DYHSS for some time, Ms. Vanderneut noted. “The idea always existed. It was our goal to open a much larger place, a 50-bed transi- tional place. It was a huge dream,” she said. Fundraising drives were held and once the “money was in the bank”, the organization pursued a smaller dream. “It was a long time coming.” The organization receives funding from Durham Region. Youths staying at Jacky’s will pay rent and how much depends on their circumstanc- es. Someone receiving Ontario Works would pay $376 a month, while someone receiv- ing Ontario Disability Support Program will pay $479. A resident with income other than social assistance will have their payments assessed on a case-by-case basis. While living there, food, utilities, Internet and TV costs are covered. “They have very few expenses while living here, other than rent,” Ms. Vanderneut noted. She added there’s a great need for transi- tional and semi-independent housing for homeless youth in Durham. “The youth we service often have difficul- ty finding a place to live due to the shortage of affordable housing. If they’re able to find housing, they have difficulty maintaining it for a number of reasons -- they’re on a lim- ited income, they have no experience with budgeting, and lack many of the necessary life skills required to live independently. This results in the youth being unable to manage living independently and thus they return to our emergency youth shelter, Joanne’s House,” Ms. Vanderneut said. Jacky’s Place is named for Jacky Bearance (Saroyan), who owned the home prior to it being sold to DYHSS. Charlene Saroyan said her mother bought the house with the idea of helping Charlene’s brother, who was struggling with addiction issues. The idea was to keep him busy doing renovations to the home. “It worked for a while,” Ms. Saroyan said. “It kept him busy for a while.” She and her sister Julie-anne wrote a let- ter to the organization asking the home be named after their mother. In their letter, the Saroyans noted, “Our mother is one of those very special angels in the world. Her vocation was nursing and this was her greatest passion and immense source of pride. She nursed for over 45 years, touching, caring and shaping people’s lives. She considered herself a “practical nurse” and she cared deeply about her community, the people in it and that she could help. She believed in preventative health, and that it started in the community.” Ms. Saroyan said during the opening cer- emonies, “We’re honoured you called the place Jacky’s Place. She was an ordinary woman with an extraordinary life. We’re hon- oured to carry on her legacy.” For those looking for information on stay- ing at Jacky’s Place, contact Ms. Vanderneut at 905-239-9377 or at adrianna.vanderneut@ durhamyouth.com.

Police looking for man accused of indecent acts at Pickering waterfront PICKERING - A report of indecent acts at the Pickering waterfront has Durham Regional Police warning the public to be on the lookout. A woman told officers she was at the beach near West Shore Boulevard and Beach Point Promenade on Wednesday, July 13 at around 4 p.m. when she heard someone yell, then saw a man running away, from out of the bushes. She said the man was being chased by a beach-goer, who claimed to have spot- ted him lurking in the bushes. The woman said another witness told her that the unknown man had been seen exposing himself. The suspect is described as a man of South Asian descent. He is reportedly in his late 30s, approx- imately six feet tall, with short dark hair and a stocky build. Anyone with new information is asked to call Detective Constable Cain of the West Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2517.

Teen accused in Dunbarton High knife assaults completes assessment DURHAM -- A teenaged girl accused of injuring several people during a knife attack at Dunbarton High School in February has completed a psychiatric assessment, court heard on July 19. The teen, whose identity is protect- ed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, appeared in the prisoner’s box in hand- cuffs and said nothing during her pres- ence in the Oshawa courtroom. Her lawyer, Tom Balka, told the court his client com- pleted the assessment and they now must wait between five and six weeks to view the report. “It’s important for all of us to review it,” Mr. Balka said in court. A girl was taken into custody by officers responding to a series of attacks Feb. 23 at Dunbarton, during which witnesses said a girl armed with two knives made her way through the hallways, slashing at victims. She was restrained by staff members. Five students and two staff members at the Pickering school were hurt; none of the injuries was life-threatening. The school reopened the next day. A 14 year old was charged with nine counts of assault with a weapon, six counts of assault causing bodi- ly harm, assault and possession of a dan- gerous weapon. The matter returns to court on Aug. 16. 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 • Ju l y 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 6 P Sudsy fun at FOAMFEST Michele Weisz photo DURHAM -- Victoria Jensen ran through the foam at the finish line of the 5K obstacle course and run during Foamfest at Dagmar Resort on July 16.

Ms. Elliott, 61, began her new position on July 1. Ironically enough, the long- time Conservative was appointed to the $220,000-a-year job by Liberal health minister Eric Hoskins. Kudos to Mr. Hoskins for eschewing politics in order to appoint the best person to advocate for patients in Ontario. And, his decision to appoint Ms. Elliott was clearly the right one. She comes to the position as a former Conservative health critic and has served as director or has sat on the boards of Durham Mental Health Services, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Lakeridge Health Whitby Founda- tion. She and her late husband, Jim Fla- herty, co-founded the Abilities Centre in Whitby, which provides programs for people with disabilities. “When this position came along, I was really excited,” said Ms. Elliott, who has always been interested in health issues. “I thought, ‘Well, if you want to change things, you have to step up to the plate’.” So, what is it that a patient ombudsman does? When patients aren’t finding suc- cess with formal complaints to their hos- pital or care facility, they can go to Ms. Elliott, and she will decide which cases to investigate. The role encompasses hospi- tals, long-term-care homes and the prov- ince’s community care access centres. She will also file annual reports high- lighting trends and problem areas for patients. As the first patient ombudsman, Ms. Elliott has a lot of leeway to define the position in her five-year term. But she’s being cagey about her plans. “It’s too early to say. We need a couple of months of calls before we really know (the issues),” she says. But, make no mistake -- the calls will come. One such area is the CCAC (Com- munity Care Access Centres) system, which has long been a source of com- plaints for patients. The $2.5-billion sys- tem is plagued with issues such as long wait times for long-term health services. With an aging population in Ontar- io, another source of complaints will no doubt be long-term care homes. The complaint process for the homes works through a central office in the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. In 2014, they received 3,300 complaints, of which around 1,810 were investigated. Ontarians will be watching, and hop- ing, that the patient ombudsman is not yet another layer of government bureau- cracy, but one that actually finds solu- tions for patients who are at their most vulnerable when seeking help in the Ontario health system. That said, howev- er, Ms. Elliott has the experience to take on this position and make it work well for Ontarians. We wish her every success. our opinion Christine Elliott’s appointment as patient ombudsman the right move Continuing education 2.0: learning online anywhere, anytime column Not so long ago, the term con- tinuing education, or con ed as it’s commonly known, conjured up images of retir- ees taking classes in French cooking or still-life painting. But these days, a quick look at Durham College’s fall 2016 con ed course calendar -- released last week -- shows just how far con ed has truly come. While a wide array of leisure and per- sonal development courses are still offered, more than 90 per cent of DC’s school of continuing education courses are academic. The school offers more than 85 part-time academic programs, giving numerous opportunities for stu- dents to balance their lifestyles while earning program credentials, including diplomas and certificates, to upgrade or augment their existing skills or work toward a new career. This evolution of the college’s con ed programming is one more way in which DC is putting the student experience first. By offering programs in a variety of accessible and flexible study options, we’re giving all students the ability to pursue their educational goals without necessarily having to set foot in a tra- ditional classroom. This includes offer- ing many of our con ed programs online because while evening and week- end classes work for many, they often remain out-of-reach for single par- ents without childcare, members of the ’sandwich generation‘ whose time is not always their own, or professionals jug- gling full-time work with schooling. So what does online learning look like these days? At DC, it’s the same high-quality courses and programs as our in-class offerings, made available fully online so students can make their learning fit their schedules and not the other way around. Our online instruc- tors are subject-matter experts who pro- vide a wide range of activities to engage learners, including discussion boards, videos, interactive practice, and links to relevant web resources. Our focus is on assessments that emulate the real- world skills that employers are looking for, such as strong interpersonal skills and critical thinking. Consistent com- munication within the course ensures learners feel supported and connected to the course content, their instructor, and their peers. Recently, in response to feedback from prospective students, DC took our social services worker and mental health nursing con ed programs online and we are thrilled to see them finding a new audience in this format. As we move toward the college’s 50th anniver- sary in 2017, DC’s con ed team is con- tinuing to encourage feedback from our community -- we want to know what courses or programs would inspire or enable others to continue their educa- tion. Contact us at coned@durhamcol- lege.ca or 905.721.3052 to let us know. We also offer the ability to live chat with a con ed representative for more infor- mation by visiting www.durhamcollege. ca/coned .

Simple summer recipes for easy living in Durham Becoming a father has taught me a lot about myself as a person. Lessons in love, patience and understanding pop up on a daily basis. None more true, however, than time. Time with my wife and son, time with friends and family, time to reflect, work time, down time, play time, nap time and, of course, time to eat. Parenthood is all about managing and controlling time. For this I have started to rely heavily on quick and easy, one-pot dishes. They require minimal effort and minimal clean- up to provide you with maximum time to spend doing the more important and more fulfilling things in life. Here are two of my favourite recipes to help get you in and out of the kitchen quickly so you can catch all those precious moments with loved ones. One-Pot Pasta Primavera This dish is the essence of a timesaver. Throw everything into a pot, put it on the heat, give it a stir and let it cook. The best part is that all the flavour from the ingredi- ents you use gets sucked right into the noo- dle as it cooks. Use whatever kind of pasta you like, I used rigatoni, just take note of the cooking time allotted for your pasta because each one is different. Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: approx. 12 minutes (varying) Serves: 4-6 450 grams dry pasta one half a large onion, small dice 2 pints cherry tomatoes, cut in half 3 cloves garlic, chopped fine 1 red chili, sliced or 1 tsp dried chili flakes (optional) 1 bunch fresh basil leaves, torn 4 tbsp olive oil 4 cups water or chicken stock 200 g (approx. 1 cup) bocconcini cheese 2 tsp salt black pepper to taste Parmesan cheese, for serving 1. Place all ingredients in a large pot, stir together and set over high heat. 2. Bring to a boil and set a timer for your pasta depending on package recommenda- tions. Leave on high heat for about 1 min- ute, then turn heat down a touch to medi- um-high, stirring occasionally. 3. Once it’s done, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes to allow any remaining liquid to cool and absorb and become the sauce. 4. Serve hot with plenty of Parmesan cheese and some crusty bread for sopping up any remaining sauce. TIP: For a really stringy, gooey, cheesy pasta, try stirring the bocconcini cheese in right at the end of cooking. Fresh 5-Minute 5-Berry Sorbet Store-bought sorbets are often wrought with unnecessary ingredients, preserva- tives, fillers and excess sugar. Sure, it’s con- venient, but why not go the extra mile and make you’re own much healthier version at home in just a few minutes? This recipe is a real timesaver when the kids want something sweet, but you want them to have something nutritious as well. With just five minutes, three ingredients and one appliance, you’ve got an instant fresh-tasting sorbet that the kids will love and you will be proud to serve to them. I typically use frozen fruit because I always have some in the freezer, but if you have fresh fruit you can just throw in about 9 or 10 ice cubes to compensate. I used a four- berry blend of blueberry, strawberry, rasp- berry, blackberries and cherries but try using whatever kind of fruits you and your family enjoy. Serves: 4-6 2 and one-half cups (300 g) frozen mixed fruit/berries three-quarters cup of milk 2 tbsp sugar 1. Combine all ingredients in a blender. 2. Start the blender on low and work your way up to a high speed. 3. You may need to scrape down the sides of your blender a couple times. 4. Do not overmix in the blender, as soon as it’s come together, it’s done. 5. Serve immediately. Tip: You can substitute the milk for a fruit juice like orange or pineapple for those who are lactose intolerant. Berry fun facts: Berries are high in antioxi- dants, probiotics, fibre and vitamin C, but they are also known to help deter diabetes, Parkinson’s disease and arthritis. -- Chef Matthew Ness has been cooking in some of the best restaurants in the GTA for the past 12 years.

Enjoy berries on their own, add them to salads, breakfast cereal and yogurt or create delicious desserts like this trifle from the Ontario Berry Growers Association. For a fresh strawberry taste, try this sim- ple strawberry gelato. Heat 1 cup of sugar and 1 1/2 cups water until sugar dissolves. Combine 3 cups pureed strawberries, 2 tbsp. finely chopped lemon zest, and 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice with cooled sugar mix- ture. Freeze until firm. Raspberries are great paired with many foods, including chocolate, fish, chicken, meats, or lamb. An easy raspberry vinaigrette can be used to dress salads or vegetables, or to marinate grilled meats or fish. Make your own raspberry vinegar by soaking 3 cups of fresh raspberries in 1 1/2 cups of vinegar. Let sit for 1/2 hour. Strain vinegar by pushing raspberries with the back of a large spoon against the strainer. In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup of the rasp- berry vinegar, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 clove shallot minced, and 1 tbsp. of rosemary finely chopped. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of fruity olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Find more recipes, lots of information about berries and farm locations in your area at ontarioberries.com.

FOCUS ON FAMILYFOCUSON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE FOCUS ON COMMUNITY A hearty cold salad to enjoy on a hot summer day By Habeeb Salloum According to historians, the lentil was one of the first food plants to be brought under cultivation by man in the Middle East. In that part of the world where civi- lization began, this legume has been a part of the diet for millennia. As a food, only bread and rice are believed to have been on the human menu for a longer period. Lentils continue after thousands of years to be a major part of the diet in the Middle East. Growing up on the farm in southwest Saskatchewan, none of our neighbours had ever tasted let alone heard of lentils. Yet our family thrived on it since my par- ents, when they immigrated, brought this pulse with them. Strange as it may seem, today Saskatchewan is the largest exporter of lentils in the world. This lentil salad is a vegetarian food par excellence that puts meat dishes to shame. Lentil Salad Serves from 8 to 10 1 cup green or brown lentils, washed 6 cups water 5 tbsp. olive oil 5 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 bunch green onions, chopped 2 large tomatoes, diced1/2-inch cubes 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned ok) 1 cup finely chopped parsley 1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped 1 tsp. salt 3/4 tsp. pepper Place lentils and water in a saucepan, then bring to boil. Cover and cook over medium heat until tender (about 20 min- utes), but still intact and slightly firm, then drain and allow to cool, saving water for soup if desired. In a salad bowl, add the lentils then gently combine the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately. DURHAM -- For millennia, lentils have been a diet staple in the Middle East. ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m ne w s d u r h a m 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 • Ju l y 2 0 , 2 0 1 6 17 AP At triOS, you will benefit from: Half Day Classes Internships Focused Learning – one course at a time Small Class Sizes Lifelong Career Assistance Call: 1-866-496-4031 | www.triOSdurham.com Start a Rewarding Career in: Business, Technology, Healthcare, Law, Supply Chain.

JOSEPH, THE WORKER O Glorious, St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations, to work with gratitude and joy, in a spirit of penance for the remission of my sins, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God, to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties, to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, after your example, O Patriarch, St. Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
