DURHAM - Getting ahead is
hard enough in the best of times.
Getting out of poverty to get
ahead can seem an insurmount-
able challenge.
To help, the Durham Region
social services department has
been offering a program called
Getting Ahead, with the aim of
empowering participants to
change their thinking, set goals
and move to attain them.
Four sessions have been held,
each with 16 participants, and an-
other is set to start by the end of
May.
Program graduate Ashley
Olmstead is the first person in
three generations of her family to
finish high school. She's now just

they picked up in the area April 22. The SoRo Good Neighbours group took part in a
neighbourhood cleanup for Earth Day. The group does similar activities on a regular basis, and
was recently awarded the opportunity to work with the City of Pickering on a project valued at
up to $10,000 when it won first place in the Pickering Sustainable Neighbourhoods program.

wrapping up her first year
in the honours social work
program at Trent Durham
University.
Olmstead said she
doesn't think she'd be in
university now if she
hadn't been in the pro-
gram.
"I don't think so. I'd
probably be sitting at
home," she said.
She came from a family
in poverty.
"I never envisioned uni-
versity. I was manipulated
my whole childhood that I
couldn't do it. To go from
not noticing to noticing,"
Olmstead stated.
Now, if she has to face a
problem, her thinking is
"What do I do?"
She receives emails
from the facilitators all the
time asking how she's do-
ing.
"It's startling after 16
weeks where you are,"
Olmstead said.
Kathleen Conway, the
acting manager Employ-
ment Support Programs in
the Income and Employ-
ment Support Division,
said, "We educate clients to
look at poverty for what it
is. What they can do and
have them look through a
different lens."
Program staff have the
objective of being "a vehicle
between staff and clients,
and between services.
We're creating a conversa-
tion, an equal conversa-
tion," Conway said.
Facilitator Jennifer
Longo said poverty is stud-
ied and "we start looking at
resources. What are some
of the things we might want
to make changes on?"
Facilitator Lorraine
Kelly said the group meets
once a week for 16 weeks.
"We take time to deal
with issues as they occur,"
Kelly said.
Clients have to explain
where they are at and not
where they expect to be.
"We build resources and
have them be part of the
community."
Conway said they "cre-
ate a community in the
course."Longo said, "We
start where they want to
start. We change relation-
ships."Kelly said, "Every-
body helps each other."
She noted if someone
leaves the room for a phone
call, the others in the pro-
gram will be concerned.
Graduate Lisa Barrett
said she looked forward to
each session. "I would look
at my watch and 'yeah, I get
to go to the program.'"
Kelly said, "That allows
you to have a rule. At the
get-go, the group sets the
rules and guidelines."
Deanne Bloomfield, an-
other graduate, said the
group all has to agree on
the rules.
Barrett said, "I wanted
to take the course twice."
Kelly said an alumni
program has been estab-
lished and Barrett said,
"Now, I'm an ambassador."
Bloomfield said, "It
made us feel like leaders."
Conway quickly added,
"You are leaders."
Olmstead said, "They
wanted people on a mission
and who wanted to make a
change."
Bloomfield likened the
program to a "life manage-
ment course."
"Word is spreading, so
we are getting calls," Kelly
noted. Bloomfield said,
"Everybody knows I have
Tourette's (Syndrome) and
nobody carried."
"It's grassroots driven.
People come together as a
community and determine
what their goals are," Con-
way noted.
Olmstead said, "It gave
me the harsh truths I didn't
want to know. It's like, you
know the problems are go-
ing on, but you don't want
to address them."
Bloomfield said, "I was
so lost I didn't know how to
take my first step. It got in
my mind.""It's a stepping-
stone to where I needed to
go. Don't hide and don't be
ashamed. I used the re-
sources to get ahead with
them," Bloomfield added-
.Conway said, "A lot of peo-
ple liken it to breaking
down the chaos."
Kelly said, "The solution
was always at the table."
Longo noted with the
last group, when the pro-
gram started one intended
to head off to college, but by
the end, it was up to four.
"It creates a conversa-
tion at the table," Conway
said. "There's a conversa-
tion and they bring things
up and it keeps it there."
Kelly O'Brien, the direc-
tor of Income and Employ-
ment Support, noted, "The
hope I feel is you can still
reach back to counsellors
for support."
"The class is set up like a
kitchen table," Conway
said. The Theory of Change
is used, which Olmsted de-
scribed as "stop telling peo-
ple what they need and ask
them." It's "meet me where
I'm at," Kelly added.
Olmstead said a "lovely
lady put a bug in my ear"
about going to university.
"You proved you could
do university work," Longo
noted. "You did it in our
class."
For someone coming
from a background in pov-
erty "education isn't al-
ways a thought," Conway
said. "It opened her heart
to it." Bloomfield said, "It
changed my mindset. I
never thought of educa-
tion." Bloomfield is now a
health care aid for an agen-
cy, while Barrett is now a
public health inspector.
Bloomfield said, "I feel
successful even when I fail.
It just keeps going. I fee
failure is success to me be-
cause I tried. Before, I nev-
er had the confidence."
Olmstead may be in line
to become a teaching assis-
tant and is running her
own workshop on poverty.

ination papers.
Collier said, "There's a

WHO WE ARE
OPINION
•EDITORIAL •
Amid the loss and sorrow that continues to grip To-
ronto in the aftermath of last week's horrific tragedy, it
is gratifying and comforting to see the very best that is
Toronto come to the fore under the most trying of times.
The circumstances surrounding Monday, April 23
where an unhinged individual who's since been identi-
fied as Alek Minassian allegedly ran down people with a
rented van on Yonge Street between Finch and Sheppard
avenues, killing 10 while injuring 16 others, is rooted in
evil that few can comprehend. The lives of 10 people
snuffed out prematurely while doing the most normal of
activities – out for a walk on a city street on a beautiful,
spring day.
Yes, the tragic events of last week have left an indeli-
ble mark on the city. There's the overwhelming sense of
loss and pain that has permeated all who live in the city
as well as those in the Greater Toronto Area and
throughout Ontario and Canada. As a show of solidarity
with the people of Toronto, many town halls throughout
Durham Region lowered their flags to half-mast to ho-
nour those who lost their lives that day. Several Picker-
ing groups hosted a vigil at city hall last week to honour
the Toronto victims.
But, the tragedy also revealed strength and character
in so many ways. It showed how police and emergency
services are supposed to work in the midst of traumatic
and tragic circumstances. First responders and medical
staff all showed incredible professionalism in dealing
with such a major emergency. Moreover, the arresting
police officer, identified as Toronto police Const. Ken
Lam, brought an uncanny sense of calm to a perilous
situation, apprehending the suspect without a shot be-
ing fired.
There were our political leaders, including Toronto
Mayor John Tory and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne,
who showed great restraint in sticking to the facts of the
situation and not jumping to conclusions as to who or
what was behind such a heinous criminal act.
The citizens of Toronto can also be proud of a collec-
tive response to an overwhelming situation. It would
have been so easy for rage to take over and for jumping
to conclusions that could have made an ugly event all
the more ugly. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed,
which demonstrated quite clearly the strength of char-
acter that Torontonians possess.
Hopefully, there will be some clarity in the near fu-
ture as to a motive behind such a horrific attack, and the
perpetrator prosecuted to full extent of the law. But, if
there's a silver lining among the sorrow, it was the re-
solve of the people of Canada's most populous city to
respond with compassion and not with hate.
Toronto the good
on full display
under the worst
of circumstances
At one time, small com-
munities built around the
blacksmith shop and ca-
thedral dotted our part of
Ontario. Those hamlets
and towns clustered into
the modern cities of the
20th century, anchored by
factories, malls and the au-
tomobile. Make no mis-
take: as the population
continues to grow in the
years ahead, cities in Dur-
ham Region and the Great-
er Toronto Area are only
going to get bigger.
We can certainly expect
that technology and beha-
vioural patterns will large-
ly determine the landscape
of the 21st century city.
While we don't know every-
thing the future will hold,
one thing we urgently need
to do is plan at the commu-
nity level. We need to be
talking about the future.
Now, not later.
The University of Onta-
rio Institute of Technolo-
gy's May 2 Futures Forum
on Energy and the Environ-
ment brought together lo-
cal and international ex-
perts on environmental jus-
tice, emerging 'smart' tech-
nologies, transportation
and long-term energy plan-
ning. Among the sympo-
sium's champions of sus-
tainability was Gina Mc-
Carthy, former head of U.S.
president Obama's Envi-
ronmental Protection
Agency (back when the
EPA could still call itself
that with a straight face).
We've all seen the dis-
turbing reports about cli-
mate change impacts, and
we know our cities can do
better to both prevent fur-
ther ecological damage
and adapt to the changes to
come.
Tomorrow's cities can
move in many exciting di-
rections, reflecting both
complex creative green pos-
sibilities and the unfortu-
nate need for climate disas-
ter preparedness. Our ener-
gy supplies can be decen-
tralized to feed into smart
grids that work with local
utilities to maximize indi-
vidual household choices.
Green space, including ur-
ban agriculture, can multi-
ply, bringing much-needed
exposure to nature to even
the most urban areas. The
environmental wisdom in-
herent in the region's Indig-
enous heritage also needs to
be reflected in our future
planning.
Constructive dialogue
and informed political deci-
sions are the fuel for inno-
vation.

It is estimated that 46%of people aged 45 to 87 have
some degree of hearing loss1,but most do not seek
treatment right away.In fact,the average person with
hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2.
This is because at the beginning stages of hearing
loss people often find they can “get by”without
help,however as the problem worsens this becomes
increasingly harder to do.For some people this loss
of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or
in the car,but for others it makes listening a struggle
throughout the entire day.By studying people who
have difficulty hearing in noise or with television,
we hope to identif y key factors impacting these
difficulties and f ur ther understand their influence
on the treatment process.

Connect Hearing,with hearing researcher Professor
Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto,

DURHAM - A man has
been sentenced to 21
months in jail for a cam-
paign of criminal harass-
ment that included post-
ing false information
about an ex-girlfriend on-
line and subjecting her
family to hundreds of
"spoof" calls that left them
anxious and frightened.
Patrick Sarrazin-Gil-
lespie's criminal conduct
continued after he was
first charged with harass-
ing his girlfriend in Dur-
ham Region, when he
turned his focus on her
relatives in Simcoe Coun-
ty, court heard Monday in
Oshawa. Sarrazin-Gilles-
pie, who has previous con-
victions for similar beha-
viour in another jurisdic-
tion, went as far as posting
a picture of the young
woman and her brother
on a sleazy website and ac-
cusing them of incest,
court heard.
"The harassment only
ever stopped when Patrick
was in jail. The only time
I'm not scared is when he's
in custody," the young
woman said as she read a
victim impact statement
in court Monday. "I still
have emotional scars that
will take years to heal."
This Week is withhold-
ing the woman's identity
as the defamatory materi-
al is still posted online.
She told the court the ad-
ministrators of the U.S.-
based website have de-
manded $2,000 to have the
post removed.
Sarrazin-Gillespie
pleaded guilty to three
counts of criminal harass-
ment and breaching terms
of his bail and probation.
He was given credit for
seven and a half months of
pretrial custody.
Court heard the victim
abruptly ended her rela-
tionship with Sarrazin-
Gillespie in early 2017
when she learned he had
been convicted of crimi-
nally harassing a girl-
friend in Kingston. A little
over a week later he was
charged with criminal ha-
rassment and breach of
probation when the wom-
an reported stalking that
included repeated un-
wanted communication
via social media.
Sarrazin-Gillespie
breached his bail condi-
tions by harassing the
woman and her family,
making numerous "dead
air" calls using technolo-
gy that concealed his
phone number and mak-
ing it appear they origi-
nated from other sources.
In March 2017 the wom-
an discovered the online
post alleging incest; it was
determined Sarrazin-Gil-
lespie made the post. The
campaign of harassment
continued until January
of this year, court heard.
In an address to the
judge Sarrazin-Gillespie
acknowledged he ha-
rassed the woman and her
family after their relation-
ship "ended on a bad note."
"I did not deal with it in
a healthy way," he said.
"I'm very sorry I caused
them to be fearful," he
said. "My actions were
very childish."
As he pronounced the
sentence Ontario Court
Justice John Olver noted
Sarrazin-Gillespie's re-
peated acts of criminal ha-
rassment are indicative of
personal issues he needs
to address through coun-
selling.
"It is calculated. It is in-
sidious. And in my mind it
is motivated by hate and
anger," the judge said. "I'm
not even convinced this
(sentence) will deter you."
In addition to jail time
Olver sentenced Sarrazin-
Gillespie to three years
probation, during which
he is to participate in
counselling as ordered
and allow a probation offi-
cer to review the call his-
tory on any cellphone he
may use. He's also been or-
dered to pay the woman
and her family the $2,000 it
will cost them to have the
defamatory website post-
ed expunged.

T he campaign for On-
tario's upcoming election
has already begun, de-
spite the formalities of it
actually being called.
In the midst of this,
Ontario's auditor gener-
al, Bonnie Lysyk, has
come out with another
scathing report, stating
that the Wynne Liberals
downplayed the deficit by
$5 billion in their budget.
But Finance Minister
Charles Sousa was quick
to defend Ontario's cur-
rent standing despite it
being even worse off than
f irst believed.
T hat said the Liberals
haven't stayed in power
for 15 years because of
t heir glowing record.
T hey are, above all,
shrewd, and they're hop-
ing Ontarians will be
lulled into a trance, caus-
ing them to only see Lib-
eral once inside the bal-
lot box or while casting
t heir vote online.
But just in case the
hypnosis of promise after
promise doesn't work, re-
cently the premier decid-
ed to liken Doug Ford to
Donald Trump. That's an
easy go-to considering
t hat President Trump
must be one of the most
hated people on the plan-
et. By drawing compari-
sons to him, the hope is
that the electorate will
say no way, no how, not
here.
On the flip side, no-
body's fooling them-
selves with Mr. Ford ei-
ther. He's definitely not
M r. Congeniality. He's al-
so a Caucasian male - not
the most popular group
to be in right now. Yet
there he is in spite of
what happened to his
brother, former Toronto
mayor Rob Ford, in his fi-
nal year in office. That
says something.
Now since the premier
has already played the
Trump card, the next at-
tempt will be to pin her
o pponent as a social con-
servative. Tanya Granic
A llen is an easy target in
this regard because of
her bold stance against
Ontario's sex-ed curricu-
lum. In fact, the premier
said the "really divisive
attitudes that she has
d emonstrated actually
makes me surprised that
she's a candidate for any
major party in 2018 in On-
tario."
It's easy to be known
a s fiscal conservatives.
A t most, you'll just be ac-
cused of planning to
slash programs. But in
the Liberal playbook, to
be a social conservative
means you're a racist
judge stuck in the 1950s
that hates anyone not
l ike you.
If that sounds ridicu-
l ous, then own the truth.
If the Liberals had no
problem portraying the
deficit one way, why
wouldn't they do the
same regarding their op-
ponent? Wake up, unless
being lied about and lied
to is your thing.

This is the second of a
three-part series exploring
the upcoming development of
a nature spa on the former
Cullen Gardens property in
Whitby. Here we spend a day
at Nordik Spa-Nature in
Chelsea, Que., the first facil-
ity opened by the company be-
hind the local project.
CHELSEA, QUE. -
Tucked beneath a tangle of
trees and rocks near Que-
bec's historic Gatineau Park
in the quaint town of Chel-
sea, a short drive from
downtown Ottawa, sits
North America's largest and
ever-growing spa.
Nordik Spa-Nature
opened in 2005, offering
guests the ultimate relax-
ation destination immersed
in the soothing solace of na-
ture, featuring an array of
thermal baths and saunas
inspired by Scandinavian
tradition, massage and body
treatments, restaurants, as
well as indoor and outdoor
lounge areas. Steeped in rus-
tic charm with firepits,
swinging hammocks and
cascading waterfalls that
drown out the world beyond
its grounds, the site is an oa-
sis of calm - secluded enough
for most visitors to escape to
without having to venture
far.
For those of us from Dur-
ham Region, including my-
self and our photographer,
Ryan Pfeiffer, it was about a
four-and-a-half-hour drive
with a quick stop at the Old
Chelsea bed and breakfast
just up the road to check in
before heading out on the
scenic walk. After writing
more than a dozen stories
since 2010 about Nordik
Group's plans to build in
Whitby, and receiving con-
firmation last fall that the
project was still on track, I
was eager to experience the
facility firsthand.
The 150,000-square-foot
location (100,000-sq.-ft. exte-
rior and 50,000-sq-ft. interi-
or) is the company's first
spa; the second, Thermea by
Nordik-Spa Nature, opened
in Winnipeg, Man., in 2015.
The Chelsea site has been
nicknamed by staff "the lab-
oratory" - a nod to its func-
tion as a testing ground, al-
lowing the company to plant
seeds of innovation and
watch them bloom in an ef-
fort to fine-tune and bolster
its brand.
As we draw closer, sun-
shine gleams off patches of
snow lining a long, rugged
pathway leading up to the
entrance and soft music
floats around us, blending

with the breeze on the cool,
spring day. A sign beckons
us to enter: "Ici debute votre
rituel detente. Your relax-
ation ritual begins here."
We decided to visit early
in the week to avoid the
crowds the attraction is
known for. But as Nordik's
director of press and public
relations, Marianne Trotier,
emerges from a sea of white
robes to greet us with a
bright smile, I suspect we're
not the only ones.
"Today feels like it's quite
busy," she says, attributing
the higher numbers to the
site's proximity to govern-
ment offices with many peo-
ple working four-day weeks.
"Probably tomorrow and
Wednesday will be a little bit
quieter, but weekends, we
can see close to 1,000 people
on site."
The spa is open year-
round from Sunday to
Thursday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.,
and Friday and Saturday
from 9 a.m. to midnight.
Guests must be at least 16
years of age.
"On the weekends, the cli-
entele is very different," she
notes. "Younger and more
social."
To accommodate the
site's burgeoning popularity
and a steady stream of pa-
trons with varying needs,
several expansions have
taken place there over the
years. It's divided into three
sections, each with a distinct
personality: Kaskad is for
those seeking silence with a
strict no talking rule in ef-
fect; in Borea, the volume
rises to a hushed murmur as
guests whisper to one anoth-
er while maintaining the
peaceful ambience; and Pan-
orama section, which is my
personal favourite, has a
more lively (but still fairly
reserved) atmosphere
where visitors can catch up
with friends or enjoy a cold
drink while soaking in a
steaming hot tub.
"We have maybe a third
of our guests asking for a
place to be (completely) qui-
et," says Trotier, who's been
with the company from the
start.
"Some of them are com-
ing alone, others just want to
leave the stress behind and
not to hear anyone talking
about their troubles ... most
of them still want to chat."
Regardless of what type
of visit they're seeking, the
heart of the Nordik experi-
ence, or as Trotier puts it,
"our reason for being," is the
thermal cycle. The process
involves alternating be-
tween periods of heat, cold,
and rest to help remove tox-
ins, stimulate blood flow,
and increase heart rate for
an overall feeling of well-
ness.
"The hot will be saunas
mainly - not hot tubs. These
are not part of the first (step).
Actually, hot tubs are like
kind of the cherry on the
sundae - it's the last thing
you're going to do," she says.
After 10 to 15 minutes ex-
posed to intense heat in one
of nine saunas to choose
from, the next step is to
shock the system with 10 to
15 seconds in a cold pool, icy
waterfall or walking in the
brisk air.
"Adrenalin will take over
your body and after that,
create endorphins," Trotier
explains. Following that is a
20-minute period of rest to
return body temperature
back to normal.
"This is where you're go-
ing to find yourself a great
spot under the sun or in one
of our hammocks or gazebo
or in the yurt, just to relax.
And then you can start the
whole cycle all over again."
While a few rounds of the
thermal cycle can help melt
the stress away, the site also
provides various treatments
and rituals to push your ex-
perience to the next level.
When it comes to reaching
the peak of relaxation, noth-
ing compares to the feeling
of total weightlessness while
floating in a large salt water
pool during the Kalla treat-
ment. Only the second of its
kind in the world - the other
is located in Switzerland -
the underground pool con-
tains 10 tons of Epsom salt in
1,200 cubic feet of water.
"It's quite good for those
who are suffering from ar-
thritis or muscle pain, and
also for pregnant women,"
says Trotier. "We have some
guests staying for three
hours at a time and some of
them even fall asleep, so it's
quite an amazing experi-
ence."
No spa visit is complete
without a little pampering.
Massages and facials are
generally considered the
two most popular treat-
ments people receive at spas.
I tried my first facial: The
Lumea anti-aging treat-
ment, which is exclusive to
Nordik and designed to tone
the face and leave you glow-
ing. For an entire blissful
hour, the esthetician makes
you the centre of attention,
applying various creams
and cleansers to your face
with smooth, gentle strokes
that guide you into a medita-
tive trance.
I opted for a traditional
Swedish massage while
Ryan chose the Tonic spe-
cialty massage, best suited
for sports and outdoor en-
thusiasts to help release ten-
sion and restore vitality.
Both massages were inside
one of the 12 wooden pavil-
ions that are perched at the
top of the site with a stun-
ning view of the facilities.
"We want people to be
able to feel the nature," says
Trotier. "Having a massage
up there, you're closer to the
trees, the birds, the water-
fall. It feels like you are real-
ly living a different experi-
ence from what you see else-
where."
Those seeking an elevat-
ed euphoric state can try one
of the wellness rituals, such
as Aufguss (German for "in-
fusion"), offered throughout
the day in the Finlandia sau-
na. Based on an ancient
Finnish practice, this ther-
motherapy technique in-
volves placing snowballs en-
riched with natural essen-
tial oils onto heated stones to
unleash a burst of vapour
with health-enhancing prop-
erties.
For a special treat, we
tried the Banya ritual in the
Russian sauna where the
temperature can rise up to
100 degrees C. The treat-
ment, which dates back
thousands of years and is
known for its numerous
health benefits for the body
and mind, lasts one hour and
begins with participants
tossing back a shot of Rus-
sian-imported vodka in-
fused with chervil. That's fol-
lowed by an exfoliating
phase, invigorating (and at
times overwhelming) heat
therapy and finally, the
highlight - beating of the
body with birch veniks in-
fused in hot water and essen-
tial oils.
"I wish I could live here,"
says Tania Jewkowicz, one
of the spa's most loyal visi-
tors who we met between
gulps of fresh air during a
brief reprieve in the Banya
treatment. She's been there
countless times, mostly by
herself, but she's also taken
her best friend, who lives in
Whitby.
"It's just my happy place; I
love it here. It's so relaxing ...
I've had issues with anxiety
and depression, so coming
here surrounded by the
trees and the history is very
therapeutic for me."
Yan Plamondon, who
lives in the Gatineau area,
says he and his wife Heidi
try to make it to the spa at
least once every season.
With four kids, he describes
it as a "perfect retreat" that's
still close to home and says
they mark those dates on
their calendar in advance.
"In the fall it's really nice.
Winter when it's a snowy
day is also gorgeous," he
says. "We saw it from the be-
ginning and the additions
they made ... they struck
gold. It's a marvellous place.
I think they're doing every-
thing perfect. As a business
model, it's a perfect experi-
ence."
He adds that while he
and his wife tend to agree on
most of the amenities, she
prefers the dry saunas
while he leans more toward
the steam ones. One in par-
ticular features intense aro-
matherapy with eucalyptus
and mint.
"She actually hates it and
I love it. But I think every-
body will - you know in
French, on dit 'y trouver son
compte.' Everybody will
find something that they
like."
Another couple, Adam
and Michelle De Jong of Wa-
terloo, were visiting the spa
for the first time while we
were there. They describe
the experience as "a step up"
from other spas they've
been to.
"It's very cultural, very
much about the thermal ex-
perience - the hot, cold and
relaxation," says Adam.
Michelle was initially
unsure about the beating
part of the Banya ritual but
ended up enjoying it im-
mensely.
"It's neat - just something
totally different that we
don't ever do," she says.
They're both looking for-
ward to the opening of the
Whitby location, scheduled
for 2019.
"We're going to go there
for sure - 100 per cent," says
Adam. "It would save us a
little bit of a road trip."
Part three will delve into
Nordik Group's vision as a
company and what they
hope to achieve for the Whit-
by spa.

free area at Grand Valley
Park (Concession 3, west of

It's $20 for each pet and
only cash payment will be
accepted. Pets should be in a
carrier or on a leash.
These clinics are orga-
nized in partnership with
veterinarians Dr. Michele
Travers and Dr. Chari Pan-
neeru, and the Region of

ment.
The seventh annual Pe-
tapolooza - Pickering's Pet

PICKERING - Pickering
is one of 23 locations in
which environmental non-
profit A Greener Future
will host a ciga-
rette butt clean-
up, and send
them to be recy-
cled instead of
going to landfill.
The fourth
annual Butt
Blitz will take
place on Satur-
day, May 5 from
11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
in locations
across Canada.
"Cigarette
butts are highly
toxic, especially
when they come
in contact with
water," said A
Greener Future
executive direc-
tor and founder
Rochelle Byrne.
"They threaten
the health of
wildlife and con-
taminate our
own drinking water. Re-
moving littered butts from
the local environment has
so many benefits." Last
year, volunteers picked up
223,354 cigarette butts, add-
ing to the grand total of
433,169, weighing in at
around 36 pounds over the
past three annual events.

2018 Durham Region Home Builders’ Association celebrates their best!
You’ve been saving for years to finally buy that first
home. Or maybe you’re ready to downsize but you want
to stay in your community. Perhaps you’ve been watch-
ing your children try to break into the market and are
getting discouraged and frustrated too.
Sound familiar?
That great Canadian dream of home ownership, the one
that was reasonably attainable for generations past, is
now slipping through our fingers.
We hear it from our friends, our family and our neigh-
bours and we get it. That’s why we’re calling on home
believers across the province to help us spread the
message that we still believe in the Canadian dream of
home ownership and we need to make sure it’s attain-
able for generations to come.
So, who exactly is a #HomeBeliever? It’s the millennial
who has been working hard and saving to put a deposit
down on a home that is close to work, or transit. It’s the
senior who is looking forward to retirement but is caught
in a financial dilemma between expensive accommoda-
tion near their children or settling for a less expensive
option many miles away from their core community. A
#HomeBeliever is a neighbour who will not give up on
the dream of homeownership because he or she under-
stands the life-long value of living, working and playing
in a community of choice.
You are one of many home believers across the province
and your voice is valuable.
Join our team of home believers at the Durham Region
Home Builders’ Association and let your government
know how strong your belief in home ownership is. Tell
them you want financial security, tell them you want to
invest in your community of choice, tell them you want
the opportunity to have a home of your own. The dream
of homeownership is too important not to pursue.
How else can you get involved? Participate in the
#HomeBeliever conversation on Twitter by declaring
what matters the most to you in finding your dream
home and use #homebeliever. Follow @OntarioHBA and
@DurhamHBA on Twitter and like, comment and share
our posts. Visit homebeliever.ca and sign the pledge, a
copy of which can also be emailed directly to your local
MPP with the click of a button.
More than 2,000 people have visited homebeliever.
ca and in total, more than 700 people have signed the
pledge. MPPs from all three parties have signed the
pledge have signed the pledge, as well as Premier
Kathleen Wynne, Housing Minister Peter Milczyn, PC
Housing Critic MPP Ernie Hardeman, NDP Housing
Critic MPP Percy Hatfiend and Speaker of the House
Dave Levac.
You’ve worked hard, you’ve saved and you’ve searched
and you should be able to fulfil your dream of owning
the home you choose in the community you want. Now
is the time to show all levels of government that we still
believe in the great Canadian dream of home ownership
– that we want more housing choice and supply across
Ontario and that we are home believers.
Are You a #HomeBeliever?

Creating Naturalized Gardens
with Master Gardener Karen Durnin
This presentation focuses on creating naturalized gardens, what they are, how to plan a
garden and evaluate your site. Then we discuss the 4 types of natural gardens, and review a
list of native plants for each of the garden types
ADVERTISING FEATURE
Presentation Overview:
For the first time in human history, we are living longer.
Older seniors, Boomers and Gen X’ers are setting new
records for longevity. Strategic planning to manage this
reality is needed. In North America, three and even four
adult generations within families are alive today.
Nobody taught us the dance of growing older. We need
to learn the steps. We all want to age well and to be in
control of our lives. Inevitably, our health or the health
of an older family member will change whether on a
temporary or ongoing basis. We may be care recipients at
one moment in time and caregivers at another. The needs
and health of both must be addressed. A road map to
guide us and address key issues is needed.
This presentation is designed for adults across the
generations. Women and men will be inspired to take care
of business now as they open doors to important family
conversations for the years ahead. Those currently dealing
with care issues will receive practical tips for their own
care journeys.
Through stories both personal and professional, “I Was
Never Taught This Dance!” touches on:
• The Big Picture: Canada’s changing demographic
landscape
• A Gender Divide: issues that women may face over
their lifetimes that may be different from men
• Financial Health: protecting you, preserving your wealth
and understanding today’s care costs.
• Legal Health: taking care of business; Powers of
Attorney for personal care and property and Wills
• Cognitive health: the challenges of dementia for
individuals and families
• Family Health: time to talk; care conversations, avoiding
conflict and enriching relationships
• Cultural Challenges: eldercare expectations and
potential impacts on families
• House Health: when your palace becomes your prison;
housing options
• The Dance: caregivers and care recipients; weaving
together body, mind and heart

On the shores of Lake Scugog, the Town of Port
Perry is a unique treasure of heritage charm and
modern convenience. Located minutes north of
Whitby and Oshawa, this is a place where you can
spend your days exploring the shops and
restaurants of historic downtown, or relaxing in the
beautiful park that runs along the shoreline of Lake
Scugog. It’s the perfect setting for a peaceful family
lifestyle that is becoming increasingly hard to find.
Now, this beautiful Town is about to become even
better with the Enclaves of Cawkers Creek, an
exceptional family home community from
acclaimed builder CedarOak Homes.
At Enclaves of Cawkers Creek, every home has
been designed to the highest standards of design
excellence. Boasting an incredible selection of
premium finishes and stylish architecture, you can
come home to a truly exceptional family residence
here. Choose from a wonderful selection of
30' linked singles and 40' detached homes on
deep lots available from 1,698 up to 3141 sq. ft. 1 sq. ft. 1
These charming and functional bungalows,
bungalofts and 2-storey designs boast impressive
features including: stylish Victorian, brick and stone
exteriors, 9’ ground floor ceilings, natural finish oak
staircases, custom quality cabinetry in kitchens,
beautiful master ensuites and much more.
One visit to Port Perry and you can see why Toronto
Life Magazine voted the Town as one of the top 5
next hot neighbourhoods to live in. Residents here
will relish the opportunity to enjoy a more relaxed
lifestyle. Stroll down the Town’s main street and
soak in the beauty of the many heritage buildings
and storefronts. The best thing about Port Perry is
that it is likely to stay this way for some time to
come. Ontario’s robust greenbelt legislation
significantly restricts development in the
neighbouring countryside, so homebuyers here
won’t find themselves surrounded in a sprawling
subdivision any time soon.
Everything you need for an amazing lifestyle is
located just moments away from The Enclaves of
Cawkers Creek. Get all your home essentials with
Walrmart, Canadian Tire, Sobeys, Shoppers Drug
Mart and much more nearby. Dine out in style at
one of the Town’s many fine restaurants to enjoy the
perfect meal with family and friends.
The Enclaves of Cawkers Creek also makes it easy
to give your children the education they deserve
with a number of fine schools near by. Choose from
S.A. Cawker Public School or Good Sheppard
Catholic School for their primary education, and
Port Perry High School has a 4.3 out of 5 star rating
for academic excellence on Ratemyteachers.com!
Homes at Enclaves of Cawkers Creek are priced
from $599,990*. Visit Cedaroakhomes.ca to learn

PICKERING - A Pickering
resident recently received
an Individual Humanitarian
Award for his fight against rac-
ism in the workplace.
Albert Salmon received his
award at the Ontario Public Em-
ployees Service Union's annual
inSolidarity Convention, on
April 19.
On Jan. 26, 2009, Salmon was
working at an LCBO warehouse
when his manager asked him
why he was wearing a vest that
said "Obama" on the back, de-
spite the LCBO's having no
dress code for warehouse em-
ployees.
When Salmon didn't answer
his question he was physically
accosted and told to take off the
vest and to report to his supervi-
sor.
Salmon said his supervisor
told him the vest was offensive
and that someone had filed a
complaint against him.
Salmon didn't remove his
vest; instead, he called the po-
lice and filed a human rights
complaint. He later won his
workplace grievance.
In 2015, Salmon said a co-
worker was wearing a Confeder-
ate flag on his jacket. He com-
plained to his supervisor.
"I told them, 'This is not
right. This is a symbol of rac-
ism,'" and, "I mean, everyone
knows about the Confederate
flag, about the KKK and how
they treat black people," said
Salmon.
He said it took a group com-
plaint and nine days to get the
person to remove the flag from
his clothing.
"It was a tough fight for me,
working for them, fighting
against racism in the LCBO," he
said.
Salmon retired on Jan. 1.
After he won the award,
Salmon said people were com-
ing up to him, congratulating
him and saying, "Thank you for
what you did."
He said people told him that
he was the reason that they had
the courage to complain.
Salmon said, "It was a really
special moment in my life," and
that he was really shocked when
he got the message from the
union, since he had retired, and
he knew there were so many
other union workers across On-
tario.
He said it was important for
him to stand up against work-
place abuse and racism be-
cause, "When you look at a lot of
stuff, all across the world, not a
lot of people have a voice to
stand up for themselves, and I
thought, 'I need to stand up.'"
He hopes his story will stop
similar situations from happen-
ing in the workplace.
Salmon has children and
grandchildren for whom he
wants to be a role model. He
wants them to know they have
rights and they shouldn't be
scared to file a complaint if they
need to.
He suggests that workers al-
ways take notes. He said even if
the person is scared to complain
at the time, maybe something
worse will happen where they
have to, and the complainant
will have notes as evidence.

I expect you have heard
of omega-3 fat: whether
you have seen it in your
e ggs or you are taking it in
supplement form, it is an
essential part of a healthy
diet, for everyone, includ-
ing athletes.
A key benefit of this nu-
trient for athletes is in the
ability to fight inflamma-
tion. Exercise leads to the
production of inflamma-
tory substances in the
body, and omega-3 fatty
acids may help to counter-
act the inflammatory
state.
Additionally, omega-3
fat may reduce exercise-
induced muscle soreness
and improve blood flow
during exercise. Some re-
search has shown im-
proved muscle strength in
older adults taking ome-
g a-3 supplements.
Omega-3 fatty acids are
an integral part of cell
membranes throughout
the body and affect the
function of the cell recep-
tors in these membranes.
They provide the starting
point for making hor-
mones that regulate blood
clotting, contraction and
relaxation of artery walls,
and inflammation.
Likely due to these ef-
fects, omega-3 fats have
been shown to help pre-
vent heart disease and
stroke. They may also
help control lupus, ecze-
ma, and rheumatoid ar-
thritis, and they may play
a protective role in cancer.
Omega-3 fats are divid-
ed into three types: EPA
(eicosapentaenoic acid)
and DHA (docosahexae-
noic acid), primarily
found in some fish, includ-
ing salmon, trout and sar-
dines, and ALA (alpha-lin-
olenic acid), found in
plant sources such as flax
seeds, nuts and other
seeds.
You can meet your dai-
ly omega-3 fat intake by
eating at least three ounc-
es of omega-3-rich fish
twice a week, adding one
to two tablespoons of
ground flaxseed to your
yogurt, oatmeal or
smoothie daily, and enjoy-
ing one ounce of nuts (es-
pecially walnuts) daily.
If you do not eat fish,
consider adding 600-1000
milligrams of an omega-3
supplement to your rou-
tine. If you are unsure
about how much omega-3
fat you need, talk to a reg-
istered dietitian. Your
doctor may also recom-
mend more omega-3 fats if
you have heart disease or
are at risk for heart dis-
ease. Talk to your doctor
or dietitian for more infor-
mation.
Visit www.dietitians.ca
for a list of food sources of
omega-3 fats.

AJAX - Nathan Shep-
herd is four inches taller
and more than 100 pounds
heavier than he was when
Gerry Martinez first met
him eight years ago, but the
most important thing
about him hasn't changed
one bit - and isn't likely to
even after being drafted by
the New York Jets.
Shepherd became one of
the best stories of the Na-
tional Football League
(NFL) draft when he was
selected in the third round,
72nd overall, on Friday,
April 27, the lone Canadian
chosen among 256.
The journey he took
from Ajax to the Big Apple
is nothing short of amaz-
ing, but it didn't come as a
huge surprise to Martinez,
who helped groom him
when he came to the Acad-
emy Of Learning Strength
and Conditioning in Scar-
borough from the Ajax/
Pickering Dolphins as a 16
year-old.
Martinez, who helped
convince Shepherd to
switch from linebacker to
the defensive line, could
never have predicted the
extent of Shepherd's phys-
ical growth, but he always
knew his heart was in the
right place.
"He's always been that
committed, hard-working
guy," Martinez explained
Friday, prior to Shepherd
being drafted. "He has a
great personality and he's a
likable guy . I talk to him
even now, he's a grown
man, but he has the same
demeanour, same humble-
ness. Nothing has
changed."
Plenty has changed oth-
erwise for Shepherd, who's
now listed as six-foot-four
and 315 pounds and pegged
to be a defensive tackle for
the Jets in the near future.
A graduate of J. Clarke
Richardson Secondary
School, Shepherd spent
two years playing Division
II football at Simon Fraser
University in Vancouver,
but was forced to leave for
financial reasons.
He worked a variety of
jobs to save enough money
to return to school, and
made the Fort Hays State
University team in Kansas
as a walk-on in 2015, ulti-
mately developing to the
point of being named Mid-
America Intercollegiate
Athletics Association
(MIAA) defensive player of
the year and helping Fort
Hays (11-0) to its first MIAA
title last season.
Martinez, who has
helped plenty of other
young players find homes
at Canadian and U.S. uni-
versities, said he saw the
potential in Shepherd right
away. "It's hard to predict
the NFL, but I saw he was
definitely a Division 1 play-
er once he changed posi-
tions," Martinez said. "He
had those long limbs and
you could tell that once he
got into the weight room,
he was going to put on
weight."
In addition to his stand-
out season at Fort Hays,
Shepherd's stock soared
thanks to impressive per-
formances at the Senior
Bowl in Mobile, Ala., and
the NFL combine, where
he showcased a tantalizing
combination of strength,
speed and explosiveness.
The Jets, whose only
earlier pick in the draft was
quarterback Sam Darnold
third overall, finished with
a 5-11 record last season.
"Everyone was realistic
with where they were at,
where they want to be this
season, next season, and
had a really good grasp on
how we were going to go
about achieving those
goals," Shepherd said in an
interview posted on the
Jets' Twitter account.
"I was just thinking
back to everything I had
done during my visit, and
thinking about how I made
an impression on that
team, and just so grateful
that they were able to give
me the opportunity to
prove to them what I can do
for their organization."
Nathan Shepherd of Ajax was drafted in the third
round, No. 72 overall, by the New York Jets in the
NFL draft.

PICKERING - John
Moonlight is trading in his
rugby cleats for firefighter
boots.
Moonlight, 30, has re-
turned to his native Picker-
ing to begin a firefighting
career May 7, leaving be-
hind British Columbia and
one of the greatest rugby
sevens careers a Canadian
has ever produced.
Moonlight's swan song
came at the Common-
wealth Games in Austra-
lia, where he served as cap-
tain for Canada, but failed
to reach the medal round
after a win and two losses
in group play.
He leaves as Canada's
career caps leader in sev-
ens with 318 matches
played - 14th most in the
world - during which he
scored 116 tries, second-
most all-time among Cana-
dians.
"As much as I love rug-
by and I love wearing that
(Canada) jersey, I have to
focus on preparing myself
for the rest of my life and
setting myself up," Moon-
light told The Canadian
Press. "I'm so privileged in
the fact that I had an unreal
rugby career. I travelled
the world representing
Canada for so many occa-
sions. And I get to switch
from that career right into
probably one of the next
best careers that you could
have - in my hometown -
and finally be able to give
back to the community."
Moonlight, who is six-
foot-one and 226 pounds,
took up the sport in Grade 9
at Dunbarton High School,
encouraged by his cousin,
David, a legend of his own
in rugby circles and induct-
ee into the Whitby Sports
Hall of Fame.
He began as a back, but
soon switched to flanker,
and focused on the sport
over the many others he
had been playing at the
time, including hockey and
football.
Ultimately, he left stud-
ies at Wilfrid Laurier Uni-
versity and moved to Victo-
ria in 2007 to pursue the
game full time, playing
both 15s and sevens.
It was the sevens game
where he truly shone, how-
ever, helping Canada win
gold medals at the 2011 and
2015 Pan American Games
and the country's first win
on the HSBC World Rugby
Sevens Series last year in
Singapore.
Shortly after the 2015
win, which came on home
soil in Toronto, Moonlight
was named Canada sevens
player of the year for a
fourth year in a row.
"Obviously, it's nice to
be recognized and all that
stuff, but I'd rather get the
performance on the field
and the game," he said at
the time. "I just go out there
every time and try to put
my best performance on
the field and help the team
the best I can."
Moonlight was hoping
to include the Olympics on
his resumé at the 2016 Rio
Games, but Canada failed
to qualify for the inaugural
rugby sevens event.
He told CP that he would
not continue playing the at
the club level but hoped to
help young talent in the ar-
ea. He added that his next
athletic goal is to compete
in an Ironman triathlon.

OSHAWA - Bruce Cul-
len and Bailey Colangelo
are at opposite ends of their
stay at Durham College,
but share the same sense of
pride after being named
athletes of the year for the
Oshawa school.
Cullen capped off his
collegiate career by lead-
ing the men's soccer team
to its first Ontario Colleges
Athletic Association
(OCAA) gold medal in 20
years, while Colangelo, al-
so a soccer player, is the
first freshman in school
history to be named female
athlete of the year.
Cullen, from Pickering,
figured he was in conten-
tion for the award after
having a solid season on
the pitch, but knew there
was strong competition
from the likes of Erik Jans-
sen of the men's volleyball
team.
"There's no better way of
going out than obviously
getting athlete of the year
for your school," said Cul-
len. "We had our ups and
downs throughout the
year, but it ended up work-
ing out in the end."
It had been a long time
between medals of any col-
our for the Lords, who last
won bronze in the 1999-2000
school year, two years after
the gold. This season, the
Lords were 6-3-1 in confer-
ence play and 12-5-1 overall,
including a 2-1 win in the
championship game over
Algonquin.
Cullen, despite missing
the second half of the gold-
medal game with back
spasms, was still named
the OCAA championship
MVP to go along with
OCAA all-star and CCAA
all-Canadian awards. The
team captain, Cullen re-
turned to play at the na-
tional championships,
where the Lords won two
and lost two.
Cullen, who hopes to get
his real estate licence this
summer, will continue
playing soccer in League1
Ontario and, he hopes, in a
new Canadian Premier
League planned for 2019.
Colangelo, from Whitby,
was named the overall
OCAA rookie of the year,
OCAA east region defen-
sive player of the year and
an OCAA all-star. As a de-
fender, she was key in cut-
ting Durham College's
goals-against from 34 in
2016 to 16 this year and lead-
ing the Lords to their first
OCAA championship ap-
pearance since 2009.
"I was really surprised,"
she said of winning the top
athlete award as a fresh-
man. "I didn't really think
of anything like that when I
started playing. I just gave
110 per cent and hoped for
the best."
A pre-health sciences
student who will be moving
onto the dental assisting
program next year, Colan-
gelo credited her team-
mates and coach Alex
Bianchi for her vast im-
provement throughout the
course of the season. She
hopes to help lead the
Lords to an OCAA medal
over her remaining years.
Oshawa's Connor May
of the baseball team and
Emily Glendinning, who
played for both the wom-
en's softball and basketball
teams, were named the
freshmen athletes of the
year.
May posted a .333 bat-
ting average with 17 runs,
10 runs batted-in and six
stolen bases, and was
named a national champi-
onship all-star.
Glendinning helped the
softball team win its third
straight OCAA title and
then went on to finish her
rookie basketball season as
a starter, averaging 10.5
points per game.

BRYANT, Sharon Elizabeth - Peacefully at
Northumberland Hills Hospital, Cobourg on
April 28, 2018 in her 73rd year. Sharon
Henderson, beloved wife of 51 years to Ron
Bryant and loving mother of Tracy Espey
(Mike) and Jeffrey Bryant (Judy). She will be
greatly missed by grandchildren Matthew,
Jacob, Benjamin, Sadie and Joshua Jeffrey
(JJ). Sharon was the third of four children
born to the late Richard and Florence
Henderson. After graduating from Uxbridge
Secondary School, she pursued a Nursing
Diploma from Oshawa General Hospital and
worked in the medical field, first as a
registered nurse and later at a family practice
in administration. Sharon and Ron enjoyed
travelling with their children over the years
and experienced such places as Africa,
Europe and Asia. Sharon had a passion for
golf and swimming but especially treasured
her time with family and friends. She touched
so many people with her easy smile and her
infectious laugh. She will be dearly missed. A
Celebration of Life will take place at the Ajax
Convention Centre on May 12, 2018 from
1pm-4pm. In lieu of flowers, a donation to
Pancreatic Cancer Canada would be greatly
appreciated.
LOPEZ, Milton- One of the founding members
of the "Easy Street" Group. Incredibly difficult
at times.. I will forever be heart broken with
this loss; my grandfather was a devoted
father figure and great example. He was my
friend. I lived with him my entire life. The
bond we have is truly unbreakable, and I am
so fortunate and humbled to have been by
his side to the end. He taught me to have
acceptance in this world and he prepared me
for moments like this. I'll never forget through
his teachings, he would smile my way and tell
me that in life all good things must come to
an end.. his poise, his demeanor, his smooth
character never changed. He always
remained a gentleman. So, even though it is
a hard loss.. by his leading example.. I have
to keep be cool just like him, and know
everything will be okay.
SEYMOUR, Michael Francis David - Passed
away suddenly on April 22, 2018 at the age
of 37 at his residence in Calgary. Beloved
son of Francis and Louise Seymour. Loving
brother of Nancy (Jim Moore), Jennifer
(David Jardine), Eva, and Karen (Nick
Marinatos). Michael will be sadly missed by
his fiance May Rose Bautista. Proud uncle of
Joshua (Sam), Brandon, Cally, James, and
Chelsea. He will also be remembered by his
aunts, uncles, extended family, friends, and
coworkers at Intek. Visitation will be held at McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Old
Kingston Road, Ajax, 905-428-8488 on
Monday, May 7, 2018 from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. A

Redeemer Catholic Church, 796 Eyer Drive,

DURHAM - Anne Marie
Scheffler may be crazy.
"I'm a comic genius," she
declares, adding she's sup-
plying a good quote at the
end of an interview at
Ajax's St. Francis Centre.
The comedian, actor
and writer was checking
out the venue for her one-
woman show, Suddenly,
Mommy!, coming on May
12.
But she's been here be-
fore. Scheffler kicked off
the current season at the
St. Francis Centre last Sep-
tember, offering a preview
of what was to come.
So, is there something
going on between her and
Ajax, a relationship form-
ing?
"We're in love," she re-
plies. "We recognize each
other's talents."
Suddenly, Mommy! is
Scheffler's take on becom-
ing a mother - and giving
up a career. One audience
member said she was hurt-
ing the next day from
laughing so much.
The scenario in Sudden-
ly, Mommy! is close to
home for Scheffler, who
splits her time between To-
ronto and Los Angeles.
The Second City alum-
nus was at a career peak in
the early 2000s, with CTV
readying a series about her
built around her live show,
Not Getting It. Her agent
told her not to get preg-
nant, but she did and the
TV opportunity was lost.
Scheffler had a second son.
And everything changed.
Five years passed and
Scheffler found herself
asking, What happened to
me?
"I remember watching
30 Rock with my two kids
thinking, 'my life is over,' "
she says.
When a woman has a
child and becomes a mom,
things change, Scheffler
says.
She cites the lack of a so-
cial life ("single girlfriends
stop calling you") and notes
"your sex life is different."
But ...
"The biggest thing is los-
ing yourself, your career,"
Scheffler says.
Before her what-might-
have-been depression be-
came chronic, she had an-
other thought: I'm not
dead. I'm still relevant.
So Scheffler went back
to work and wrote her sev-
enth show, Suddenly,
Mommy!
"No one tells you that
motherhood is like a hero's
journey," she says on her
website. "You enter the ex-
traordinary world. And it's
unfamiliar. You have to
fight, grow, learn, battle.
You return with the elixir
of Put Yourself First. Or the
mommy, the wife, is just a
sad shell of her formal self.
And guess what? No one
wants that."
Scheffler's Ajax show is
at 7 p.m. and the St. Francis
Centre is at 78 Church St. S.
Tickets are $35, avail-
able at the St. Francis Cen-
tre Box Office, the Ajax and
McLean community cen-
tres, the Audley Recreation
Centre or online at stfran-
ciscentre.ca.
For more information,
call 905-619-2529, ext. 2787
(ARTS).
Comedian Anne Marie Scheffler is gearing up for
her one-woman show, 'Suddenly Mommy!', running
May 12 at the St. Francis Centre in Ajax.

DURHAM - Oshawa
Opera's May 11 concert is a
fundraiser for Luke's
Place.
Founder and artistic
director Kristine Danda-
vino says, "The goal is to
raise funds and awareness
for Luke's Place, an orga-
nization that provides
family law support and
guidance to vulnerable
women and their chil-
dren."
She says the concert
features an all-female cast
in response to the #MeToo
campaign, "bringing
awareness and solidarity
to vulnerable women." It
includes Dandavino, Ro-
berta Quilico, Rev. Mi-
chelle Robinson, Emily
Rocha, Jillian Carney,
Kalista Wilson, Suzanne
Kilgore and others.
On the program is mu-
sic ranging from pop/rock
to classical opera.
"When the #MeToo
campaign started, I did
not want to share my sto-
ry," Dandavino said. "I did
not want to reach out to
other performers. Then,
all of a sudden colleagues
would send me private
messages and ask, 'Did
you go through this'? Sex-
ual harassment in the per-
forming arts has been go-
ing on forever. I am
thrilled that my col-
leagues are on board to
raise money for Luke's
Place. Roberta Quilico is
writing an original song
for this event. I can't wait
to premier it with her."
All proceeds from the
concert will go to Luke's
Place.
The concert is at 8 p.m.
at Westminster United
Church, 1850 Rossland Rd.
E., Whitby.
Tickets are $10 and
available online at www.e-
ventbrite.ca.
For more information
call 905-995-2847.

If you aren’t yourself affected by a hearing or speech issue,
you likely know someone who is.
Tips for Talking wiTh someone
who has a communicaTion disorder
To communicate effectively, you should:
• Anticipate that conversations will require extra time.
• Reduce background noises as much as possible.
• Try to stick to one conversation topic at a time.
• Keep statements and questions short and concise.
• Speak slowly and clearly at a reasonable volume, but don’t shout.
Shouting distorts speech and can make it more difficult for individuals
with communication disorders to understand you.
• Avoid putting anything in front of your face when talking.
• Sit across from rather than beside the individual.
• Make eye contact.
• In group situations, encourage people to speak one at a time.

Depression, Anxiety,
Social Phobia,
Panic Attacks are
real, serious and
treatable conditions.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a
short-term, goal-oriented, evidence-based
alternative to medication.
In fact, study after study has shown CBT to
be as effective as pills for the treatment of
depression and more effective than pills for
the treatment of anxiety.
Regain control of your life.
We can help.
