The soci- ety is closing the Ajax office because of a drop in funds received from the United Way. Funding cuts force John Howard Society to close Ajax office Executive director makes tough decision after a shortfall in United Way dollars Keith Gilligan KGilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — The John Howard Society of Durham Region is clos- ing its Ajax office on July 31 due to a drop in funding.

Publicplay...Publicplay...privatefeelprivatefeel Patrick Brown speaks to Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade members Keith Gilligan KGilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A Progressive Conservative government would “turn the ship around” and take Ontario in “a new and better direc- tion.” Speaking to the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade breakfast meeting on Tuesday, June 20, PC leader Patrick Brown said his party would bring in a culture change where “every tax dollar is being spent appropriately. We can’t be a province spirally in debt.” Joining with the crowd of about 175 at the Ajax Convention Centre were Peter Beth- lenfalvy, the PC candidate for Pickering- Uxbridge, and Todd McCarthy, the candidate in Ajax. Whitby-Oshawa MPP Lorne Coe was also in attendance. Brown noted the province’s credit rating has been downgraded three times under the Liberals. “Quebec now has a better credit rating than ours. The financial industry takes a look at Ontario and it’s not a safe financial bet,” Brown said. Ontario is the most indebted subnational government in the world, he added. “We pay $1 billion a month just in interest.” Pointing to a recent article written by for- mer federal Liberal cabinet minister John Manley, Brown said, “Kathleen Wynne needs to know Ontario isn’t an island on its own in the middle of the Pacific.” He said the Auditor General has stated Ontario isn’t in a balanced budget situation. “Ten times out of 10, I’ll believe the Audi- tor General over Kathleen Wynne,” Brown said. Hours after the breakfast session, the Lib- eral caucus sent out an email titled Fiction for Breakfast — Facts Still Matter in Ontario. The email stated, “National Bank, Paul Boothe and the Independent Financial Accountability Officer have all confirmed that Ontario’s budget is balanced.” Bethlenfalvy has spent his career in the financial sector, including serving as a co- president of Dominion Bond Rating Servic- es and is the chief investment officer at CST Consultants. Prior to joining CST, he was senior vice president, financial regulations at Manulife Financial. “Ontario has lost its way and we can do better. Ontario use to be a have province and now it’s a have-not province,” Bethlen- falvy said. “Don’t be fooled by the balanced budget. I know the numbers and it’s not bal- anced. “Ontario continues to spend money we don’t even have. The government thinks unlimited debt doesn’t matter. Well, ask Greece,” he added. McCarthy said, “Ontario has to get it right or Canada can’t be a leader. We can turn it around. We can take the province in a new and better direction.” He said under the Wynne government, “if something moves, they’ll tax it. If it keeps moving, they’ll regulate it. If it stops moving, they’ll subsidize it.” He said people are noticing, pointing to byelection wins in ridings the PCs haven’t won since 1981. A PC government would invest in infra- structure, Brown said. “Aside from the quality of life, we have to get product to the market- place. “All this talk of infrastructure, we’re not seeing shovels in the ground,” he said. “We need to address this. We need to do better.” Hydro rates under the Liberals have gone up 400 per cent, he said. “How can businesses succeed because of high rates,” he asked. “We can’t have hydro rates that cause jobs to flee.” He said of the government’s Fair Hydro Act “it’s just borrowing. We’re borrowing $93 billion just to get temporary relief until after the election, when rates will skyrocket. Wynne said she was fixing hydro. I said ‘stop fixing hydro. You’re making it worse.’” Brown charged the government was sign- ing contracts in exchange for political dona- tions. “They borrowed a billion dollars to pay for their old mistakes and now they are com- mitting the same mistakes again. “It’s not in the best interests of Ontario. It’s in the best interests of the Liberal party,” Brown said. He wasn’t entirely critical. “We’re home to some of the most talent- ed, hard working people. We’ll fix the funda- mentals, cut red tape and match education to the workforce. Our government will be in it for you.” During the question period, Brown said the election is 11 months away and “anything can happen. They’ll do anything to cling to power. They spent $1 billion to save a single seat. We’re not underestimating them.” A PC government would “make a pret- ty significant investment in infrastructure. I believe it has a huge spinoff. “We need to turn the ship around.” PC leader in Ajax to bash governing Liberals Jason Liebregts / Metroland AJAX — Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown spoke at an Ajax Pickering Board of Trade event at the Ajax Convention Centre on June 20. 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 n e 2 8 , 2 0 1 7 3 P Constituents of all ages in Pickering-Uxbridge are encouraged to submit photos they’ve personally taken of our beautiful community.

Eastwood said that a drop in United Way funding is the reason for closing the Ajax office. “The United Way helped us to have a presence in Ajax and Pickering,” she said. “United Way dollars were offsetting those costs for a number of years. With the drop in allocation we’ve been managing to keep the location open by utilizing our reserves. We don’t have reserves available. We can’t spend reserves to pay for unallocated pro- grams. “Things change. Employers change, the economy changes. We have to make some of those tough decisions as well. We’ve always referred to the United Way as the glue that holds it all together,” Eastwood added. In 2015, the United Way gave the soci- ety $328,790. The organization will still have offices in Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington. “We don’t foresee changes, but you never know,” Eastwood stated. “We’ll sup- port folks in our other locations.” The society is “in the process of look- ing for some satellite space where we can run a group,” Eastwood said. “We won’t have a storefront presence. Clients won’t be able to come in a to find a service in the community, or use a computer or a fax machine.” Speaking to regional council recently, Eastwood said, “For a number of years, we were fortunate to have stable and consis- tent funding from the United Way.” The United Way has seen a drop in donations and the society saw a 25 per cent cut in funding in April. Closing the office means “Ajax and Pickering residents will face a longer time accessing services.” She said an “effective solution is com- munity hubs” where several organizations band together to rent space and offer ser- vices. “We’re proposing to develop a simi- lar model in Ajax and Pickering.” The society was seeking $45,000 from the region to serve as bridge funding. “We’re looking for assistance for the Ajax-Pickering area. There are a lot of community agencies in that area. There’s a wealth of opportunity there,” Eastwood said. Regional chair Roger Anderson said, “A bridge to most people is a loan. You’re ask- ing for the money?” “Correct,” Eastwood said. The United Way is aware of the cuts to service the society is having to make, she said. Ajax Coun. Colleen Jordan said, “I understand the dilemma you’re in. An organization like yours operates on a shoe- string and can’t afford the loss.” Eastwood said she’s had discussions with the Community Development Coun- cil of Durham, and would be meeting with Ajax and Pickering officials. Eastwood said the United Way is “work- ing very hard. They’re working hard to increase our allocation. They can’t give us a guarantee. The donor climate is chang- ing.” The $45,000 would “provide us with sustainability.” When asked by Oshawa Coun. Dan Carter about seeking financial help from the provincial government, Eastwood said, “Looking at other providers is something we’re willing to look at.” Carter asked what the plan was going forward and Eastwood replied, “We’ve asked ourselves that. We’ve had discus- sions to live within our means.” Community partnerships and sharing rent are options. “We’ll deliver, but on a smaller scale.” Anderson said, “You’re putting us in a difficult position. People using the facility can still go to Oshawa. The services would be in Oshawa.” “The benefit of having a location in Ajax is people don’t have to travel,” Eastwood said. “Our plan is to provide services in Ajax. We won’t have our own facility. We’ll rent from another organization.” The $45,000 request was forwarded to the social services department for assis- tance or advice.

Publication Sales Agreement #40052657 our opinionour opinionour opinion column We complain about the taxes we pay in Canada, and we are forever dissatisfied with the work of governments federal or provin- cial, no matter the political stripe. But, one thing Canadians can generally agree upon is this: you’ll have to look high and low to find a better country anywhere in the world than what we enjoy right here in the Great White North. With that in mind, we have even more to celebrate in 2017 and especially on July 1, Canada Day, where our beloved nation turns a relatively young 150. And, since some of us will never see such an important national milestone again, it is well worth celebrating. There are definitely 150 reasons — and many more — to celebrate all things Cana- dian, but for the sake of brevity, we’ll touch upon the high points here. Canadians live in a free, democratic soci- ety, where rights and freedoms are not just words or esoteric notions, but ones that have been entrenched into federal law with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Canada is a friendly, safe and welcoming country, and one that celebrates its inclu- siveness and diversity. It’s a place where peo- ple of all religions and all cultures can come together and live in relative peace and har- mony. Canada has universal health care that’s truly the envy of the world. Yes, we pay a high price for our ‘free’ health care in the form of taxes, but it is available to all and not just to those with the fattest wallets. We have a solid history of pulling our weight internationally. Our contributions to the First and Second World War come immediately to mind as many Canadians paid the ultimate price to uphold freedom throughout the world. And, of late, Cana- dians have reached out to Syrian refugees, offering permanent refuge and shelter from the civil war that has decimated the Middle Eastern country. Maple syrup, Canadian bacon, Tim Hor- tons, hockey, lacrosse, basketball, Smarties, poutine, Terry Fox and who can forget ‘eh’ — all uniquely Canadian. Mostly, though, Canada is a four-season country of breathtaking beauty. From the majesty of the Rocky Mountains of the west coast to the eastern shores of Maritimes, Canada is so vast that Canadians can literally spend a lifetime discovering and rediscover- ing it. So, take the time to turn out and celebrate Canada’s 150th at a host of events happening at communities throughout Durham region.

This month, we look at the data relat- ed to employment by occupation. These are the jobs that Durham Region resi- dents have, but they may not necessarily be in Durham Region. An examination of the top occupa- tions for Oshawa Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) annually reveals balanced occupation mixes that follow the trends for both the Greater Toronto Area and the province. Oshawa CMA includes the populations of Oshawa, Whitby and Clarington. Since 2006, there have been steady increases in trades, transport and equip- ment operators in Durham Region. In 2006, there were 26,500 Oshawa CMA residents working in these jobs. Since then, there has been a steady increase in this area with 29,600 residents working in these fields in 2010 and 30,700 in 2011. Sales and service occupations, jobs in education, law and social, communi- ty and government services also experi- enced increases, as did business, finance and administration occupations. The most significant job increases year-over- year has been in the sales and service sector, which saw increases of 7,800 jobs from 2006 to 2011. Jobs in decreasing numbers have come in manufacturing, utilities and management positions. The data may seem a bit out-of-date as it is only avail- able until 2011. Statistics Canada releas- es updated labour statistics annually; the next update is expected in November 2017. Statistics Canada does, however, as part of its monthly labour force release, provide a monthly account of employ- ment by occupation by CMA. This data is a bit more up-to-date and tells a slightly different story. It’s showing month-over- month increases in management occu- pations; these jobs grew by 3,400 posi- tions from January to May of 2017. Other increases are seen in the health occupa- tions, occupations in art, culture, rec- reation and sport. Job numbers in this area increased from 13,700 in January to 15,200 in May. Conversely, in the first five months of 2017, there have been steady declines in occupations in education, law and social, community and government services and occupations in manufacturing and utilities. These data sets are the high- est level of occupation classification and Heather mcmillan Guest columnist doesn’t drill down to the specific occu- pations within the classification area. Overall, the most prominent occupa- tion category among Oshawa CMA resi- dents is in sales and service occupations, making this occupation class and its sec- tor worthy of closer examination in the coming months. Where does your job fit in these occu- pation classifications?

Durham Region’s ONLY Closed For Canada Day Celebrations Sat. July 1st. through Mon. July 3rd. 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 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pickering couple thankful for the kindness of strangers To the editor: With so much bad news out there these days I thought you may be interested in a feel good story. I went to the Tim Hortons on Glendale Drive in Pickering to pick up a breakfast order for my wife and myself. When I reached the pickup window I was told that my order had been paid for by the person in front of me. I replied that must be a mistake as I do not know them and was told that they do it often. I am sorry I do not know who they were but thought that their generosity should be acknowledged. William Brown Pickering Harwood Avenue bridge has accessibility flaws, says reader To the editor: I recently walked up Harwood Avenue on the bridge over Hwy. 401 behind a gen- tleman in a wheelchair. As we approached the middle of the bridge, we encountered another gentleman in a wheelchair going in the opposite direction. The wheelchairs were not able to pass each other because the side- walk on the bridge was built far too narrow. One wheelchair going down the curb onto the street was not an option. One of the gen- tlemen had to go back to the bottom of the bridge before they could pass one another. I’m surprised that the bridge, rebuilt about 15 years ago, was designed with such nar- row sidewalks. I’m sure there is/was room to make them wider. This most likely violates an Ontario Disabilities Act and should be addressed. Peter Stahl Ajax Implementation of full-day kindergarten might be a factor concerning violence in schools To the editor: Re: Durham EAs report more than 1,500 violent incidents this year in local elemen- tary schools, news, June 8 As a mother with children in the Durham District School Board (DDSB), I am interest- ed in any issue that may affect their school experience and education. When I first heard the news reports last week saying that more than 1,500 violent incidents have been lodged and after read- ing Reka Szekely’s article, I am left with a question that I wonder if the school board trustees, Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario and all other parties with a vested interest have considered: What role has full day kindergarten played in the spike of vio- lent outbursts? In listening to various reports and debates on NewsTalk 1010 and in reading Ms. Sze- kely’s article, I was unable glean if this was a spike across all elementary grades, or if there was a specific cohort that was trending high- er. The article seemed to suggest that we are seeing special needs students with more vio- lent interactions with educational assistants (EAs), but it wasn’t explicitly stated. Radio reports I have heard said the surge of violence trended upwards in the past four years. Assuming that the time period report- ed is correct, it coincides with the implemen- tation of full-day kindergarten. I can’t help but wonder if there is a direct correlation between the increase of violent interchanges between EAs and the fact that children are in school longer and are also more tired. Perhaps their fatigue is resulting in physical responses because they are young and unable to vocalize their frustration and fatigue. I have two children in the DDSB in junior kindergarten and senior kindergarten. While neither have been violent, we certainly see a change in their behaviour at home when they return from school tired. Both girls — and I would argue, most children in kindergarten — would be better served by having a morn- ing at school and a nap at home in the after- noon.

Born in Sarnia, Ont., he is the first Canadian to do a space walk and command the International Space Station. During his last mission, the 57-year-old’s use of social media made him an online sensation. His 2013 music video of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” was also a first in space. Not impressed? A bestselling author, Hadfield has previously worked as a test pilot for military aircraft. Mic drop.

W. In Pickering Village At Church, S.W. Corner Fine Authentic Indian Cuisine Canada, is a land of opportunities and fresh starts; a country where anything seems possible. We, the Singh-Gahunia family, know this all too well for we recall the excitement and trepidations we had when we arrived here from India in 1988. Ahead for us was a new life but our family did not know what sort of life it would be or what it would have in store for us. Fortunately, we were surrounded by people who reached out to offer support and help to establish ourselves. These individuals were not known family and friends but rather, complete strangers; people who helped for the sake of helping, and expected nothing in return. This is what Canada is to us; a land where people from all backgrounds, nationalities and beliefs can come together during a time of need,putting aside their differences. We see the members of our community as extended family. Wemaynotberelatedbybloodbutovertheyearsthekindnessandacceptance they have shown us has grown roots in our hearts and has formed bonds which we will cherish and remember fondly. Canada is where we have grown as a family.Canadaiswherewehaveseengoodtimesandbadtimes,butaftereach hurdle has come out stronger. Canada is where we know we have rights and freedom of speech. Canada is a country which welcomed us with open arms.We were welcomed with all our differences and beliefs and allowed the opportunity to establish ourselves. For immigrants like us, there is no better place to call home than Canada,whetheritbeyourfirstorsecond.Itisherethatyouwillseecommunities built of all races and religions, who live together without segregation. So on this, the 150 th Birthday of Canada, we would like to say THANK YOU to this country for it is here that we call home and we would like to say thank you to all our friends and neighbours who have come out time and time again to show that we belong. Thank you for the experiences which have changed the course of our lives.Thank you for an education system which allowed our children opportunities that we never had. Thank you for a healthcare system which has saved the life of our mother. Thank you to the incredible people who have shown such selfless acts of kindness from helping us shovel out our driveway to donating a kidney and ensuring that our family stays intact.

From the Durham College family. Presented by: SARA CARSON scarson@simcoe.com For Canadian entertaining expert Sebastien Centner, our country inspires thoughts of the great outdoors, Quebec cheese, Ontario wines, maple syrup and Kim Mitchell’s Patio Lanterns. When it comes to throwing an unfor- gettable Canada Day party, Centner has unique tips you can use at home. Dazzling decor “We want to find ways to celebrate our country and celebrate Canada Day in a way that is typically Canadian, which is being (environmentally) responsible,” Centner said. Red and white is a Canada Day go-to. Centner suggests you choose one and pair it with silver or gold. “Canada Day is typically a very casual holiday … but how do we do something Throw your Canada Day party with tips from an expert that also represents this 150th celebration that is really, really momentous. From that point of view that’s where I think integrat- ing silver and gold work really well,” Cent-ner said. Instead of cut flowers, Centner would plant red, or white impatiens in clay ter-racotta pots. If you choose silver, put a mir- ror under your pots for an inexpensive and easy touch of elegance, he added. Menu inspired by Canadian food and drink Serve Ontario wines with Quebec cheese, British Columbia smoked salmon, lobster from Nova Scotia, or beef sliders using Alberta beef. Cook Prince Edward Island scalloped potatoes with shaved Alberta beef, or scallops and herbs from the east coast. For dessert, Centner suggests taking inspiration from Canada’s winter.

All you have to do is replenish glassware,” he said. Create a Caesar bar with all the trim- mings. Make a pitcher of classic Caesars and spicy Caesar and provide celery salt for glass rims and garnishes like celery, cucumbers, tiger prawns, edamame beans and long green beans. You could also serve pitchers of red and white sangria. Showcase Canada’s musical history Create your own playlist, or find one on Spotify, a music streaming service. “What a great way to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary if you go from Stompin’ Tom to Justin Bieber,” Centner said.

They wanted to create a charity organization that took care of a certain breed of dog that needed help in big numbers. Thus, Standard Poodles In Need, Rescue and Rehome (SPIN), was born. Over the years they have been able to help 199 dogs find new homes. An annual yard sale held in the parking lot of the Oshawa branch of CB RMR is one of the ways they raise funds so they can continue to operate SPIN. Their yard sale is a great opportunity to raise some money, spread the word about the organization and eat some great food. Bernice had this to say about their yard sale in support of SPIN. “This event doesn’t just have great stuff, it has one of the best bake sales and BBQs around!” Co-organizer Sharon McCall is a firm believer in all SPIN does. “This is a very valuable and rewarding experience. There is nothing like watching the animal in your care thrive”, offered Ms. McCall. SPIN is just one of the many rewarding experiences created and supported by the people at Coldwell Banker R.M.R. The company and its staff firmly believe in giving back to the community on an ongoing basis. Another great cause is the We Grow Food organization.

FOCUS ON FAMILYFOCUSON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE Stretch your fitness level Pro Trainer for canfitpro, Ona MacDonald has been involved in the fitness industry for more than 40 years. We asked her for some expert advice that would benefit our readers and here are her suggestions. What is the importance of ‘warming up’ before any type of physical activity?As we age, joints stiffen, muscles lose their elasticity, circulation slows down, and other medical conditions may interfere with range of motion. Warming up before starting any phys- ical activity is always advised.A good warm up will prepare the body and mind in a gentle manner by lubricating joints and muscles so that the body can move more freely to avoid injury. It activates blood flow to the working muscles and brings oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and joints, increas-ing blood pressure and temperature gradually. This prevents excess demand on the heart and fires the nerve synapses that are essential in uniting the mind and bodyWhat is the typical length of time for an effective warm up routine?Take from 10 to 15 minutes to warm up. As we age, the body’s response time to exercise slows down so more time is required to thor-oughly warm up all of the body’s systems. If joints are arthritic, not functioning well, or cold weather conditions prevail, even more time may be necessary.What are some examples of warm ups or stretches?Your warm up and stretching should be tai- lored to suit the activity you are about to begin. There can be three parts of a warm up which can include a general warm up for the entire body, dynamic stretching for the spe-cific joints, and static stretching done after the activity to relax the muscles. Some examples of each activity are below to get you started.General Warm Ups:Multi-joint movements are good choices to get the body warmed up in a shorter amount of time. Use both the lower body in conjunction with upper body movements such as: walk- ing with arm swings - alternate, both together, across front of body, marching, knees up with arms, step touches with shoulder rolls, elbow and arm circles - alternate, both together. Dynamic Stretches:These stretches are performed using com-mon movements around a joint within your normal range of motion. They help to warm up the area and further prepare for movement. Gentle leg swings – with front and back, side-ways and in front of body shallow lunges mov-ing side to side while standing with one foot forward, other foot back lift the front toes and then lift the back heel.Static Stretches:Before doing these static stretches make sure you have completed a gentle warm up doing whole body movement such as walking. Your muscles should be warm, moving with ease, feeling no pain, or have any joints shak-ing. Poor posture causes muscles to be short and tight. The stretches below are aimed at opening up the affected areas. Chest: Start by raising your arms, with bent elbows and placing your fingertips behind your ears. Gently move your elbows backwards as if they were to touch behind your head.Hip Flexors: Start in a lunge position with one knee on the ground. Lean your body for-ward until you feel slight tension in the mus-cles on the front of the leg that has the knee on the ground. (Your front knee should not go past the end of your toe)Hamstrings: Sit on the floor with both legs extended straight in front of you. Bend for- ward, from the hips, until you feel slight ten-sion in the backs of your legs.Low Back: Start by kneeling on the floor with your hands placed on the floor in line with your shoulders and with your knees under your hips. Gently arch your back towards the ceiling as you tuck your chin in towards your chest. Relax back to a neutral spine. For golfers, what are some recommended pre-activity exercise stretches that can help avoid injury and maximize performance?Before your game, start by doing a general warm up to get your entire body ready to play. Then, move into some dynamic stretching to help prepare your body for the rotation that occurs in golf. • Start with your shoulders and work down to your hips:• Arm swings, shoulder rolls, elbow circles, full arm circles• Arm reaches - across the body, body trunk rotations - when turning, take the hips with you in the same direction• Hip loosening - leg swings or full hip circles (like hula hooping) • Side bends• Lift knee to chest and hug• Mini/half squats• Shallow lunges side to side• Roll up on toes, back on heels As with all exercise we recommend always working within a pain free range of motion and progressing slowly. You may want to con-sider a strength training program to enhance performance and add further protection from injury. Also, if you are not sure how to com-plete the stretches correctly, work with a quali-fied fitness professional, to learn the correct method to help you stay active. Ryan Pfeiffer / Metroland OSHAWA -- Stephen Kostoff, assistant general manager at Kedron Dells Golf Club, showing some fine form earlier this year. Pro trainer Ona MacDonald says golfers should do a general warm-up to get their body ready for a round and then some dynamic stretching to ensure their frame is ready for the rotation that occurs when swinging a golf club. 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 n e 2 8 , 2 0 1 7 26 AP We all tend to make New Year’s resolutions to exercise, lose weightand watch what we eat. But our motivation only seems to kick in withthe start of summer. There’s nothing like warm weather to encourageus to get outdoors, even if it’s only to begin a walking program. As with any new exercise, if you are over the age of 35, you should geta medical evaluation before beginning. A great way to ease into an exercise routine is to start walking.Walking not only burns fat, it tightens muscles and lowers lipoproteincholesterol levels. Our walking rate as we go about out daily activitiesis approximately three miles per hour. The average person should walk at a pace of about one third faster (four miles per hour) to reach adesired exercise hart rate. We need to protect our feet, therefore a good walking shoe is veryimportant.Itshouldprovidethemostflexibilityatthemiddleofthesole.While walking, your feet do not require the same impact protection aswhen you are running, so your soles do not have to be thick. Before you begin walking, it is always a good idea to start with at leastfive minutes of stretching exercises. After you stretch, begin walkingslowly. Do so for about five minutes to increase your heart rate. Thenwalk briskly for about 25-30 minutes. Your walk should end with afive minute decrease in speed to cool down and than five minutes of stretching to prevent stiffness and increase flexibility. Never wear ankle weights. They will put pressure on your joints thatevolution never anticipated and are sure to cause future problems. Safe walking is great for all ages. Here are some summer exercise tipsto get you ready for your warm weather wardrobe: 1. Dress appropriately for the temperature. Wear light coloured, loose fitting clothing. Always wear a hat with a visor and use sunscreenwith an SPF of at least 15. 2.Drink a lot of water before, during and after the walk. Don’t waituntil you are thirsty, by then it’s too late and you may already be dehydrated. 3. Give yourself time to adapt to warmer weather. Exercising inthe summer heat puts more strain on the body than in coolertemperatures. 4. Walk in the morning or early evening when it’s cooler and traffic islighter. 5. Make sure you are visible when walking at night. The greatest threatto the health of a walker is an inattentive driver. Wear bright clothingwith reflective tape on your arms, front and back. Also carry a flashlight. 6. Avoid busy streets. Carry only enough money for a phone call oremergencies. 7. Obey the rules of the road. Walk facing traffic where there are no sidewalks. Like any form of exercise, walking should be done in moderation,every other day. IF you are concerned about the eather outside, youcan always mall walk. Most malls are open early in the morning, andare a perfect temperature. Just think; you won’t have to worry about apet owner who neglected to scoop their poop.

We know that there are 62,000 strokes nationally each year, but, fortunately, the survival rate is fairly high — about 80 per cent. That’s because of advances in care and a growing awareness about stroke pre-vention and lowering risk factors. Strokes are often associated with the elderly, but you might be surprised to know that they can affect people of ages, even children, the aftermath of which can be debilitating for people and their families. As a District Stroke Centre, we help more than 400 families each year who are touched by strokes. Recognizing the signs of a stroke is important. The sooner someone gets to the hospital and receives treatment, the better their chances of recovery will be. Time is a huge factor, time is brain! The Heart and Stroke Foundation has created this simple way to recognize the signs of a stroke and think “fast” — literally: FAST stands for: Face — is it drooping? Arms — can you raise them? Speech — is it slurred or jumbled? (If so,) Time to call 9-1-1 right away. If you suspect that you, or someone you are with, is having a stroke, don't drive yourself or get a loved one to drive you. Don't go back to bed. Don’t take that chance. This is a medical emergency, and you need to call 9-1-1. You’ll then be taken to our District Stroke Cen-tre at Oshawa hospital, where you could receive the clot-busting drug called tPA. Our stroke team has been recognized for stroke distinction, which means it demonstrates clinical excellence and commitment to leadership in Acute Stroke Services and In-patient Stroke Rehabilitation Services. So, having said all that, how do you prevent a stroke from happening in the first place? Some stroke risk factors like age, gender, ethnicity, and family history can’t be changed. However, many risk factors can be improved through lifestyle changes. This includes managing high blood pressure and diabetes, quitting smoking, limiting your alcohol consumption, lowering your stress, and increasing your physical activity. — Amy Maebrae-Waller is District Stroke Coordina-tor at Lakeridge Health.

She was 29, trapped in a bad marriage, over-whelmed with caring for her mom, who had bipolar disorder, and was herself struggling with depression and food addiction. “My whole life was spiralling out of control and my weight was one of the symptoms,” says Elia, who at the time weighed more than 260 pounds.“Every part of my life seemed broken and the only coping mechanism I had developed was to eat, was to binge.”But there came a day in 2003, when Elia was at an “all-time rock-bottom,” that she took the first important steps to transform her life.She started by eliminating addictive foods from her diet. For her, these include breads, pasta and sugary sweets. And by walking, at first just 15 minutes, every day.Soon, those slow, short walks turned into fast-paced, long walks, which in turn led to jogging, then running.With time, commitment and hard work, Elia lost more than 100 pounds. Along the way, she learned to love her body and her new healthy habits‚ an outlook that has helped her maintain that weight-loss for more than 14 years.“For me, the prize is not a number on the scale,” she says. “The prize is how I’m living my life and how I feel about myself.”A common narrative in our diet-obsessed world, fuelled by TV ads and magazine cov-ers that flash before-and-after photos of peo-ple going from heavy to slim, is that those who reach a weight-loss goal have finished the fight against unwanted pounds.But mounting research, along with the per-sonal experiences of many thousands of peo- ple, show that staying at a healthy weight can be harder than the initial weight loss. Reaching a weight-loss goal, whatever that might be, is not the end of a journey, but a beginning, says Rena Wing, a professor of psy-chiatry and human behaviour at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.“There are two misconceptions about long-term weight loss,” she says. “The first is that nobody is ever successful. The second is that after doing the hard part‚ losing weight‚ main-taining is easy.”Research has revealed that it is largely our biol- ogy, and not our strength of will, that makes it so easy to regain lost weight. A suite of physi-ological factors, including appetite-related hor-mones, metabolism and even neurological path-ways, make our bodies fight against weight loss. This is why the majority of people who lose a substantial amount of weight gain it back within months or years.Despite this discouraging evidence, Wing insists long-term weight loss is not a hopeless cause. She is the co-founder of the National Weight Control Registry, which began more than 20 years ago, and now tracks more than 10,000 Americans who have lost at least 30 pounds and have kept the weight off for more than a year. “It shows that maintaining weight loss is def-initely possible,” she says. “Yes, it can be done. But it is hard.” A key finding of the registry is that people who succeed at weight management are able to find a way of life‚ a diet, an exercise regime, a collec-tion of healthy habits‚ they can stick to forever. Ximena Ramos Salas, managing director of the Canadian Obesity Network (CON), says that while long-term weight loss success is possible, most people are unable to do it on their own. “The majority who try to do it alone will gain it back,” says Ramos Salas, a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta studying weight bias in public health. It’s for this reason the CON is pushing governments to recognize obesity as a progressive chronic disease and offer long-term health supports to patients, just as people with type 2 diabetes, hypertension or depression receive followup care.“These patients don’t just get six months of treatment and then are let go from the health system,” she says. “But we do that with obesity because of weight biases and the stigma, which says people did this (obesity) to themselves and need to manage it on their own.”Unlike other life successes‚ earning a postgrad-uate degree, for example, starting a family or buying and renovating a dream house‚ weight loss is not a permanent state, says Dr. Valerie Taylor, chief of psychiatry at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto.“Weight loss is something that, if you don’t stay on top of it, you can absolutely backslide. That can become psychologically challenging.” Rather than set big, far-reaching goals, such as losing 20 pounds in four weeks, Taylor advis-es patients to focus on small, obtainable goals, such as walking 10 minutes a day, ballroom dancing on Friday nights or losing enough weight so a seatbelt extender isn’t necessary for airplane travel.“People build on successes. They don’t like to build on failures.” Elia, now 44, has faced difficulties during her 14-year weight-loss journey, including two relapses when old, unhealthy habits took over and her weight crept back. But overall, Elia says she has followed through on her vow to change her life in profound ways, including leaving her marriage and changing careers. She eats fresh, whole foods as a way to sustain her body, not placate her feelings. She exercis-es, whether running, lifting weights or hot yoga, three to five times a week. And she meditates, nearly every day.Elia, a certified food addiction counsellor, draws on her personal experience while run-ning the food addiction clinic at the Wharton Medical Clinic, which treats people with obesi-ty and diabetes and which has six locations in Ontario, including in Toronto. The main message she has for people who want to lose weight‚ and keep it off‚ is to find their big motivation to change their life. Some-thing bigger than fitting into a tiny dress or get- ting slim for a high school reunion, goals which she says are fleeting and unsustainable. For Elia, it’s her 6-year-old daughter who brings inspiration. “Every time I get off track, or lose motivation, I look into my daughter’s eyes and ask myself, what kind of life do I want her to live? “I want her to be happy and healthy. And then I show her how to do it.” There are two misconceptions about long- term weight loss. The first is that nobody is ever successful. The second is that after doing the hard part, losing weight, maintaining is easy.
