DURHAM - Ontario's next gov-
ernment needs to provide more
funding to municipalities to ad-
dress the rising cost of policing,
says the president of the Durham
Regional Police Association.
Randy Henning said tight bud-
gets mean there simply aren't
enough officers staffing the front
lines in Durham Region, a rapidly
growing municipality confront-
ing challenges as the nature and
volume of crime increases.
"Policing has changed dramat-
ically, but our authorized
strength has not changed since
2000," said Henning.
"The public would be startled
to know how many police officers
are out on the street every day,"
Henning said. "It's very low. And
the calls for service are going up."
The Durham police budget for
2018 is $198.9 million, a three per
cent increase over the previous
year, and more than 90 per cent of
that funding is dedicated to sala-
A Durham Regional Police Officer takes down the police tape at a scene in Memorial Park in Oshawa. Randy Henning, president
of the Durham Regional Police Association, said tight budgets mean there simply aren't enough officers staffing the front lines in
Durham Region. For that reason he hopes the next party to form government at Queen's Park addresses this issue.

DURHAM - Last year,
the province gathered feed-
back from more than 1,500
people as part of efforts to
craft the Ontario Black
Youth Action Plan.
One of the top concerns
raised, was that the achieve-
ments of black youth are not
being recognized.
Tracey Grose, a social
worker with the Durham
District School Board and a
member of the Durham
Black Educators Network
(DBEN), didn't need a re-
port or study to tell her
that.
"The school board has
awards and recognition
nights ... but there are not a
lot of male students, or a lot
of racialized students. It's
disproportionate," she says.
It's what inspired DBEN
to launch the Activating
Student Success Awards in
2013, recognizing the
achievements of students
from grades seven to 12
who self-identify as black
or of African descent.
And, to add a new schol-
arship to the awards that
specifically recognizes a
black, male student.
Introduced last year, the
Black Community Rise to
Excellence Scholarship is a
$1,000 award given to a
Grade 12 student who has
achieved a B average.
"We have young men
who say 'I can really see
myself getting that,'" says
Grose, who chairs the Acti-
vating Student Success
Awards committee.
She says the scholarship
is more than just money for
school - "it lets these young
men see that we believe in
them."
There are plenty of
scholarships out there for
straight-A kids - this one
takes a well-rounded ap-
proach, looking at a stu-
dent's leadership, commu-
nity contributions and life
goals.
This year's recipient,
Omar Mitchell, has a lot to
offer in all those areas.
The Grade 12 student at
J. Clarke Richardson Colle-
giate in Ajax has held posi-
tions on the student gov-
ernment, student council
and has been the special
education leader for the
Special Olympics basket-
ball team.
As a volunteer with Ca-
rea Community Health
Centre, he has facilitated
conversations on complex
topics such as black male
stereotypes, privilege and
mental health.
Mitchell says the schol-
arship will help as he pre-
pares to head to Ryerson
University in the fall,
where he has been accept-
ed into the fashion commu-
nication program.
"I'm really into fashion,"
he explains. "I'm interested
in, why people choose what
they wear, why people
choose this colour or this
style."
His career goal is to be a
creative director.
Mitchell says he wasn't
always a strong student - he
buckled down in Grade 11
and started pulling higher
grades - and he believes
that having awards that
specifically recognize
black students, can have a
motivating affect.
"I think it will make oth-
er black students want to
work harder," he says.
At the Activating Stu-
dent Success Awards cere-
mony on May 10, last year's
inaugural scholarship re-
cipient Lincoln Alexander
Estridge, presented Mitch-
ell with his award - a pass-
ing of the baton moment.
"It was kind of surreal, it
really felt like mentoring,"
says Estridge, who now at-
tends the University of To-
ronto. The Activating Stu-
dent Success Awards are
inspired by Baruti Kafele, a
highly regarded American
teacher, principal, author
and public speaker who
visited Durham in 2012.

AJAX - Council carried
a motion to direct staff to
investigate the use of au-
tomated speed enforce-
ment.
If implemented, auto-
mated speed enforcement
(ASE) technology would
be put on municipal roads
in significant areas such
as school zones.
The motion was intro-
duced by Regional Coun.
Shaun Collier. He said the
Durham Regional Police
Services (DRPS) does not
have enough officers to
monitor and enforce all
speeding concerns. He
said ASE technology will
discourage the public
from speeding without
burdening the DRPS.
The motion mentions a
Durham regional report
from March 2 which cites
a May 30, 2017, passing of
Bill 65, known as the Safer
School Zones Act, which
amended the Highway
Traffic Act authorizing
provincial, regional or
municipal road authori-
ties to implement the use
of ASE technology in
school zones or "commu-
nity safety zones" on
roads with a speed limit
less than 80 km/h. The
technology typically
takes the form of speed
cameras. The act allows
municipalities, like the
Ajax, to implement their
own ASE technology.
Collier said, "Some-
thing we, as the Town of
Ajax, can do ourselves."
The report also cites a
2017 report from New York
City that states speeding
in school zones decreased
by 63 per cent during
school hours following the
implementation automat-
ed speed enforcement
cameras.

•LETTERS & COMMENTARY •
The stakes are high for Ontarians who'll go to the
polls on June 7 to decide what kind of government - and,
more importantly, what kind of future - we want in the
province.
Another four years of Liberal governance under Kath-
leen Wynne would be unpalatable to most Ontarians.
Hers is a record of failure that's made life much more
difficult for many of us.
Interestingly enough, Wynne extended a mea culpa in
her latest election ad, suggesting 'I can do better'. Well,
the time for doing better started four years ago. Polls
suggest most Ontarians have lost confidence in Wynne's
leadership.
Voters need only recall the Liberals' poor record of
stewardship when they cast their ballots. Theirs is a
record of year-over-year deficits, mangling the energy
file where hydro rates ballooned to astronomical heights
on their watch, only to be reined in temporarily by a deal
to stretch hydro debts over a much longer period of time.
The Wynne Liberals also made the lamentable deci-
sion to sell Hydro One assets during their term in office,
taking a prized public asset and selling it to the private
sector. The sale will do nothing to stabilize hydro rates.
The Liberals added to our collective woes by taxing
gasoline to an even higher degree in the name of a car-
bon tax that was also extended to our heating bills. This
carbon tax fills government coffers, but doesn't make life
any easier for Ontario residents, or measurably improve
the environment.
And, let's not forget health care where wait times for
care have become even more unacceptably long under
the Liberals.
A national newspaper has reported the province's
deal to sell three casinos, including two Durham casinos
-Casino Ajax and the Great Blue Heron in Port Perry -
fell well below market value, an estimated $1.5 billion
below what should have realized for taxpayers in Onta-
rio.
Change is needed.
The NDP? They seem bent on giving everything away
for free. As we all know, nothing is free; everything
comes at a cost. For a province already on unstable fiscal
ground, NDP policies are a recipe for disaster.
A reasonable alternative is the Progressive Conserva-
tive party under leader Doug Ford. Yes, he's a neophyte
to provincial politics, but he's a fiscal conservative
whose platform includes returning Ontario to a more
sound, sustainable financial footing.
Ford plans to cut hydro rates and scrap Ontario's
carbon tax to name a few of his initiatives. These policies
would put more money back into the pockets of Ontari-
ans and lessen their financial burdens, and that's never a
bad thing.

in Ontario
Reader surprised
people don't know
not to leave children
and pets in cars
To the editor:
Summer is fast ap-
proaching and unfortu-
nately, it must be said ev-
ery single year, NO NOT
leave your children or pets
in your car for even five
minutes because the tem-
perature inside the car will
skyrocket out of control
and you will have a dead
child or pet within min-
utes!
I had an encounter this
morning and I could not
believe what my ears were
hearing. I was buying cat
litter and I encountered
two ladies leaving the same
store and they had a beau-
tiful puppy with them.
The older of the two
ladies said to the store
clerk something like,
"These people that make a
lot of noise about pets in
the car," and because I was
only two feet away I replied
that I was one of those peo-
ple.
She then responded,
"Even if the windows are
open?" I said to the lady,
"At your age, I am sur-
prised you do not know
better!"
I was very shocked that
she did not know better. I
went and got my litter and
when I got outside the
store I spotted the lady
with two other people go-
ing into the restaurant
next door.
I immediately spotted
the car and I did not do any-
thing because the car was
parked in a shady area, and
the windows were open all
the way, ( all the way down
and all four). They must
have had the pup secured
inside the car, and because
of all that I decided not to
do anything this time.
From now on I will do
something!
I am not sure what I will
do, but it will be some-
thing. What really sur-
prised me was the lady had
to be 60 to 70-years-old and
to me, she had absolutely
no empathy or under-
standing.

Reader says,
"I would call
[Donald Trump]
a coward five
times over."
To the editor:
The complaint from
Donald Trump that "pris-
oners of war" should not be
seen as heroes, has sur-
faced again. He was never
captured so how would he
know?
Hang on a moment, he
wasn't captured because
he didn't serve, he "dodged
the draft" on five different
occasions. I would call him
a coward five times over.
Trump never was, isn't
and never will be a war he-
ro. The word "hero" cross-
ing his lips is an insult to
all who did serve.
Some ethically chal-
lenged clown proposed he
be a candidate for the No-
bel Peace Prize! Only in
America, eh?
He does qualify for a
"White Feather" and he has
the unique distinction of
qualifying for that at least
five times.

DURHAM - A Durham Region
man is among three suspects
charged with human trafficking
offences for the alleged exploita-
tion of a woman who was forced
to work in the sex trade.
The 21-year-old victim was in-
timidated and controlled by two
men and a woman as she was co-
erced into working in the sex
trade in the GTA, Toronto police
said. The victim was forced to
abide by rules imposed on her
and to turn over all of her earn-
ings, police said.
Facing human trafficking
charges including procuring a
person under 18, exercising con-
trol and advertising another per-
son's sexual services is Joshua
Scanlan, 20, of Durham Region.
Also charged are Daylo Robin-
son, 27, and 22-year-old Rebecca
Horton, both of Mississauga.
Robinson and Horton are also
charged with sexual assault.

ries and benefits. Accord-
ing to the latest numbers
posted on the Durham po-
lice website, the service
employs 871 sworn officers
and just over 300 civilians.
While the number of of-
ficers has remained static
for some time, the nature of
the incidents they address
has changed, Henning said.
He pointed to emerging
trends, including e-crimes
and sophisticated frauds,
as issues that are drawing
on already limited resourc-
es.
While the need to staff
specialized units is obvi-
ous, it comes at a cost to
front-line policing, Hen-
ning said.
"The front line is suffer-
ing," said Henning, who
called for more provincial
funding to allow munici-
palities such as Durham to
hire officers.
"You can keep the bud-
get at zero as long as you're
prepared to get zero in re-
turn; you get what you pay
for," he said.
"They're going to have to
start downloading more
money to the municipali-
ties to pay for policing."
We asked candidates
from the four major parties
seeking seats in Durham
Region to respond to the
concerns expressed by
Henning, specifically how a
government led by their
party would address what
is perceived as a lack of
front line officers. Here's
how they responded.
Michelle Corbett, Green
party, Durham
The Green party is fo-
cused on addressing issues
that contribute to the rising
number of calls for service,
including mental health,
said Michelle Corbett, who
is running to represent the
party in Durham riding.
"They (police) are un-
derstaffed because of the
situations that are growing
up around them," she said.
"A high percentage of calls
are mental health related."
Addressing the current
lack of services and sup-
ports for people with men-
tal health issues may help
to alleviate some of the
pressure, Corbett said.
Low-level crime rates
might also be addressed by
treating addiction as a
health concern rather
criminality, as well as pro-
viding people with a guar-
anteed income, she said.
"How much of our theft
would we nip in the bud if
there's guaranteed income
support?" Corbett said. "It
requires different politics."
Corbett did acknowl-
edge the duty of govern-
ments to address funding
concerns identified by mu-
nicipalities.
"It's not to say Durham
Region doesn't need ade-
quate support - it's a huge
area," she said. "We're not
against helping out Dur-
ham Region's police force,
but we have to be respectful
of the region's government.
If they ask and it's within
our powers, we'll do it."
Lorne Coe, Progressive
Conservative, Whitby-Osh-
awa
"Police officers and all
first responders perform
inspiring public service ev-
ery day. They also literally
put their lives on the line
for us," said Coe, the incum-
bent PC member seeking
re-election in Whitby-Osh-
awa.
"To be effective, police
need to have the tools to do
their jobs. Therefore, we
need to support our police
and give them the resourc-
es they need to keep our
communi-
ties safe. As
the Region of
Durham ap-
proaches a
population
of one mil-
lion, we
must plan
diligently
and make
sound in-
vestments to
successfully
meet the
transforma-
tion that is
occurring.
That means being proac-
tive in building a safe com-
munity," said Coe.
"We must therefore fos-
ter co-operation between
the police and the commu-
nities they serve. This co-
operation extends to mem-
bers of the general public,
as well as to the providers
of other services including
social services, health care,
and education. It is incum-
bent on all of us to contrib-
ute to the safety and well-
being of our communities,"
Coe noted.
"I look forward to con-
tinuing to support high
quality Durham Regional
Police Services that exceed
community expectations,
keep our fam-
ilies and chil-
dren safe and
that are sus-
tainable for
years to
come."
Ibrahim
Daniyal, Lib-
eral, Picker-
ing-Uxbridge
"As a
homeowner
in Pickering, I
support the
Durham re-
gional police,
thank them
for their service, and will
fight for them at Queen's
Park," said Ibrahim Dani-
yal, the Liberal candidate
in Pickering-Uxbridge.
"Ontario Liberals have
heard the need for more
support for municipal po-
licing, particularly with the
federal government's pend-
ing legalization of canna-
bis. That's why we're step-
ping up support for munici-
palities and law enforce-
ment to help ensure
communities and roads are
safe. Ontario Liberals will
provide $40 million from
the federal excise duty on
recreational cannabis to
help all municipalities with
implementation costs relat-
ed to the legalization of can-
nabis, including hiring
more officers. Additional
support will be provided to
increase the capacity of lo-
cal law enforcement, in-
cluding the Ontario Provin-
cial Police, by funding so-
briety field test training for
police officers to help de-
tect impaired drivers," said
Daniyal.
"In contrast, Doug Ford
has told municipalities that
they will have to follow his
lead and make cuts to their
services if they expect any
money from his govern-
ment at all. This is unac-
ceptable when municipali-
ties need more support for
policing, not less," Daniyal
said. "The NDP platform is
built on a major mistake
that cuts billions of dollars
in services, including fund-
ing for increased enforce-
ment due to the federal gov-
ernment's legalization of
cannabis."
Monique Hughes, NDP,
Ajax
"People deserve to feel
safe in their communities,
free from fear and with a
justice system that gives
them confidence. An NDP
government would make
sure that police officers and
others in the justice system
have the resources, tools
and training to do their
jobs," said Ajax NDP hope-
ful Monique Hughes.
"For decades, Liberal
and Conservative govern-
ments have cut funding and
downloaded costs onto mu-
nicipalities, giving them no
way to pay for it. An NDP
government would support
local decision-making and
planning processes, be-
cause municipalities are of-
ten in the best position to
consult and determine how
best to move forward in the
public interest on munici-
pal issues.
"An NDP government
would make it easier for
municipalities to fund the
services they provide to
their residents by undoing
the damage caused by de-
cades of disrespect and
downloading by Liberal
and Conservative govern-
ments, including fairly
sharing responsibility for
transit, housing and child
care costs. We will also re-
store funding for the Onta-
rio Municipal Partnership
Fund," said Hughes.
"The NDP plan would
fight crime by addressing
some of the major root
causes of crime. By funding
a new dedicated mobile cri-
sis teams to intervene when
people are dealing with
mental health crises, we
can free up front-line police
resources for their other
important work," Hughes
added. "And we will declare
a public health emergency
to address the opioid epi-
demic, working with those
on the front lines and ex-
panding the distribution of
Naloxone and other anti-
overdose medications. We
will also support the estab-
lishment and operation of
supervised injection sites
and overdose prevention
sites to mitigate the impact
of this crisis on our commu-
nities."

proper inspection of track infrastructure. As such, for safe railway
operations, the annual vegetation control program will be carried
outonCNraillinesintheprovinceofOntario.Acertifiedapplicator
wil l be applying herbicides on and around the railway tracks
(mainly the graveled area (the ballast)). All product requirements
for setbacks in the vicinity of dwellings, aquatic environments and
municipal water supplies will be met. This program will take place
from May 28, 2018 to August 31, 2018.

DURHAM - Summer-
time is almost here and
with that brings hordes of
mosquitoes returning for
the warm weather and the
possibility of West Nile vi-
rus (WNV).
WNV is a mosquito-
borne disease that is trans-
ferred to humans through
an infected mosquito bite.
Mosquitoes get the virus
through the blood of a vi-
rus-carrying bird.
The Durham Region
health department has
started this year's WNV
surveillance and control
activities. In 2017, the Pub-
lic Health Agency of Cana-
da reported 155 human
cases of the virus in Onta-
rio, compared to the 44
cases in 2016.
According to a press re-
lease, "The Health Depart-
ment routinely trap batch-
es of adult mosquitoes,
known as mosquito pools,
as part of it ongoing WNV
surveillance activities."
The department tests
the mosquitoes for the
WNV.
The acting director of
Health Protection with the
health department, Ross
MacEachern, says resi-
dents should remove any
standing water around
their homes, since mosqui-
toes will lay their eggs
there.
The health department
also recommends resi-
dents drain water from ar-
eas, like pools, chair cov-
ers, pots, bird baths and
wading pools, clean and
maintain outdoor hot tubs
or swimming pools, clear
and drain roof gutters, re-
move unused tires from
their property and ensure
that drainage ditches are
clear.
To reduce the possibili-
ty of being exposed to
WNV, the department rec-
ommends residents, use in-
sect repellent containing
DEET, wear shoes, socks,
and full-length shirts and
pants that are light in col-
our, ensure windows and
doors have properly
equipped screens, turn
over compost regularly,
and keep grass and shrubs
trimmed.

DURHAM - Sometimes,
when she had the time, Lin-
da Jansma would slip down
to the Robert McLaughlin
Gallery's vault, where the
permanent collection is
stored.
She might say to herself,
"I'm going to look at the
Group of Seven works."
Jansma, the RMG's se-
nior curator, has retired af-
ter almost three decades.
Sort of. She will put in 12
hours a week as the RMG's
head of special curatorial
projects. So, she'll leave the
gallery, but not entirely, de-
scribing it as "the best of
both worlds."
"It's never been a job,"
she says in her RMG office.
"I get to look at art whenev-
er I want. How awesome is
that?"
The permanent collec-
tion has more than doubled
in her time, from roughly
2,000 to 4,600 works. She
didn't do all of that on her
own, Jansma is quick to
point out, but she's proud to
have helped shape the col-
lection, describing it as "the
heart of the institution."
A highlight for her has
been working with the art-
ists.
"Watching the creative
process unfold," Jansma
says. "Because often I'm
working with people for
three years."
A case in point is the
Jenn E Norton exhibit Slip-
stream. Even as she's pre-
paring to talk about her
leaving, Jansma can't resist
showing and talking about
the exhibit. Seeing the bare
existence of an idea blos-
som into a fully realized
work is exciting, she says.
And, sometimes an art-
ist will be at a bit of a stand-
still, and Jansma will make
a suggestion, nudging them
this way or that.
"That's an awesome part
of the job," she says.
Norton, Jansma notes,
is an Oshawa native, mak-
ing the exhibition a nice
show for her to finish off
with.
Big changes at the gal-
lery, and especially in Osh-
awa itself, have occurred
over her time at the RMG.
As at other art galleries,
the RMG hasn't just opened
the doors, it's beckoned peo-
ple in. In the past, galleries
would stage exhibitions
and people could come and
have a look if they wanted
to - or not. Today, galleries
are making themselves
more of a place to be - and
not just for art-lovers. The
gallery's RMG Fridays are a
perfect example: monthly
music, art and film events,
where people can have a
drink and mingle. It's be-
come a must-do in Oshawa.
"I personally think we're
more open to community,
we're more open to collabo-
ration," she says.
Jansma says, for the per-
manent collection change-
over at the end of June, an
exhibition will be titled,
Whose Home and Native
Land. For it, a three-person
advisory committee of In-
digenous community mem-
bers has recommended
works it would like to see
included in the show.
"That wouldn't have
happened 28 years ago,"
Jansma says.
And the gallery has been
a part of the larger change
in Oshawa. It's no longer
just a General Motors town.
The city boasts post-sec-
ondary institutions and a
thriving local cultural
scene. Jansma notes that
when she first started at the
gallery the city signage said
Oshawa was The City that
Motovates Canada. Today,
Oshawa's motto is Prepare
to be Amazed.
"I see the difference in
terms of Oshawa's sense of
self," says the Hampton res-
ident.
"There's a sense of pride
in being part of the city and
wanting it to move for-
ward."
Clarington artist, and
Jansma's former teacher,
Jane Eccles, gets the credit
for sparking a young Jans-
ma's interest in art history.
Eccles helped turn her
on to art, but now Jansma
is looking forward to turn-
ing off - part of her brain,
that is. She explains that, as
someone who feels they al-
ways have to be on top of
things, she would regularly
check emails from the RMG
while on vacation.
"I am looking forward to
seeing what life looks like
having turned that part of
my brain off," she says.
OSHAWA -- Linda Jansma has retired as full-time curator at Oshawa's Robert
McLaughlin Gallery, but will stay on as head of special curatorial projects. She
became curator in 1994 and has been with the gallery for almost 30 years.

Immigrating to Canada from Tanzania as a child, Michael was
often shy and nervous in his new surroundings. It wasn’t until he
attended Tim Horton Camp in Parry Sound that he came out of
his shell. The friends he made immediately took him under their
wings and challenged him to try new experiences.After 10 days
of zip-lining and canoeing, Michael returned home with a new
confidence. Now understanding the power of a helping hand,
he works with new students at his school to help them find their
place in their new surroundings.

PICKERING - Toronto
and Region Conservation
Authority is holding its
second annual food truck
festival at Petticoat Creek
to promote its facility.
Kelsey Bartlett, the To-
ronto and Region Conser-
vation Authority's co-ordi-
nator of digital media strat-
egies and marketing, says
the festival will help "peo-
ple know about the park,"
and "really drive conserva-
tion efforts."
The Petticoat Creek
Food Truck Festival will
run from Saturday, June 9
to Sunday, June 10 at the
Petticoat Creek Conserva-
tion Area. There will be
nine food trucks this year.
Vendors include, Smoke's
Poutinerie, Gotham Grill,
Gangster Cheese, Get Ske-
wered, Feedthesix, Donkey
Kone, The Arepa Republic,
Funnel Cake Dream and
Old Flame Brewing Co.
Pickering firefighters
will be at the event so chil-
dren can see a fire truck.
Bartlett said organizers
are also hoping to get Parks
Canada to come for com-
munity engagement.
The park will open at 9
a.m. The festival starts at 11
a.m. and ends at 7 p.m. The
admission fee is $3. June 9
is Conservation Parks Day,
which means admission to
any TRCA parks or Credit
Valley Conservation (CVC)
parks are free, including
Petticoat Creek and the
food truck festival.
The pool will be open for
the summer, but not during
the festival. Bartlett said,
"It's a really great facility
and I think it's a great event
to show people that there's
more to see."

As we head into barbe-
cue season, I start thinking
about the potential for food-
borne illnesses.
Food-borne illnesses in-
crease during the summer,
since bacteria multiply fas-
ter in warmer tempera-
tures, and preparing food
outdoors makes safe food
handling more challenging.
And, specific to athletes,
research indicates that
while moderate levels of
regular exercise seem to re-
duce our susceptibility to
illness compared with an
inactive lifestyle, long hard
bouts of exercise and peri-
ods of intensified training
can put athletes at in-
creased risk of picking up
microorganisms.
Use these tips to de-
crease your risk of picking
up a food-borne illness, this
summer.
Wash hands and surfac-
es often. Wash for at least 20
seconds with warm, soapy
water before and after han-
dling food and after using
the bathroom, and han-
dling pets. When eating
away from home, find out if
there's a source of safe
drinking water. If not, bring
water for drinking, prepa-
ration and cleaning.
Use safe food handling
techniques. Cross-contami-
nation during preparation,
grilling and serving food is
a common cause of food-
borne illness. When pack-
ing a cooler, wrap raw
meats, poultry and fish se-
curely and separately to
keep juices away from other
food. Never place cooked
food on the same plate that
previously held raw food
unless the plate has first
been washed in hot, soapy
water.
Use a cooler filled with
ice to store food on the go.
The temperature inside the
cooler should be at or below
4 C (40 F). Use separate cool-
ers for food and drinks.
Marinate meat in the refrig-
erator or in a cooler filled
with ice - not on the count-
er. If you are using mari-
nade to baste cooked meat
or as a dipping sauce, make
sure it hasn't come into con-
tact with uncooked meat.
Use a meat thermometer
to ensure your meat is thor-
oughly cooked. Cook all raw
meats and poultry to these
recommended safe internal
temperatures - poultry: 74 C
(165 F); ground meats: 71 C
(160 F); beef, pork, lamb and
veal: 63 C (145 F).
Always remember to
keep food out of the temper-
ature danger zone of four to
60 C (40 to 140 F). Harmful
bacteria can grow in as lit-
tle as two hours in this tem-
perature range.
Have a safe and healthy
summer exercise and bar-
becue season.

Competing in the junior

389.33 points and was sec-
ond overall at 389.33, while

They did it! WE did it!
Got our own Canadian bird
back, renamed and repatri-
ated. Well, that's what it
feels like to me. And along
with my whole network of
birding friends and read-
ers, I'm deeply grateful, ab-
solutely delighted. Let's
welcome back the Canada
jay!
Ornithologist Dan
Strickland, who's been
studying Canada jays nest-
ing in Algonquin Park for
more than 40 years, was a
chief instigator in the ef-
fort to get the species called
by the name used for two
centuries, since settlers ar-
rived.
Used until 1954, when
the American Ornitholo-
gists Union's committee on
classification and nomen-
clature, about 10 American
men, arbitrarily changed
'Canada jay' to 'Gray jay.'
And these cute, quiet,
friendly residents of the
vast boreal forests stretch-
ing across Canada from
coast to coast have official-
ly been 'Gray jays' for six
decades - the American
spelling for 'grey' adding
insult to injury.
Until Strickland and
some colleagues, spending
great time and effort, sub-
mitted such convincing sci-
entific and historical facts
and arguments that cur-
rent committee members,
in these more enlightened
times, agreed this spring to
restore 'Canada Jay' to the
official checklist. Hooray,
and thank you, Dan!
I know it's not 'Canadi-
an' to toot your own horn,
but come on! There are 16
birds on the list with
'American' in their name
(all nest in Canada) and
five with 'California.' There
are birds named after cities
- Philadelphia vireo and
Baltimore oriole - and lots
named after people. Cana-
da has just two: the stun-
ning golden Canada war-
bler and the notorious Can-
ada goose. And now, at long
last, the Canada jay.
Which is the ideal
choice for Canada's nation-
al bird (phone your MP!),
breeding in every province
and territory, raising ba-
bies in the depths of winter
- really! - and cleverly cach-
ing food so they don't have
to migrate south. Fluffy,
feisty, and family oriented -
pairs usually show up with
a juvenile in tow - Canada
jays are fearless of hu-
mans, often coming to your
hand for food. With their
big dark eyes and curious,
quiet mannerisms, they're
sweethearts of the avian
world.
Good place to find them:
along the black spruce
bogs on the Opeongo Road
in Algonquin Park. Or bo-
real forests anywhere in
Canada.

Some time ago while in
Valpolicella, I stopped off atValpolicella, I stopped off atV
Cantina Negrar, a co-opera-
tive of some 230 growers.
There I had the pleasure of
meeting its technical direc-
tor/manager Daniele Ac-
cordini, who had an inter-
est in the repatriation of
some of Veneto's nearly ex-
tinct grapes.
Mr. Accordini is known
for his work with rare andfor his work with rare andf
endangered Indigenous
grape varieties, such as
Turchetta, Corbina, Bres-
sa, Castelrotto, Spiga-
monte, Dindarella and Ose-
leta.
Since then many of these
grapes such as the Oseleta
have developed a following.
Other countries have in-
vested in their Indigenous
grapes, such as the Marath-
eftiko of Cyprus, the Gele-
waza and Girgentina of
Malta and the Norton of
Virginia.Virginia.V
In contrast, Ontario be-
gan making wine from na-
tive grapes back in the 17th
century. However, while
some wine from native vari-
eties is made by enthusi-
asts, most are used to graft
European or Vinifera vines
for disease protection.for disease protection.f
Ontario is going through
another trend where spe-
cies formerly thought to be
unmaintainable are now
successfully being grown
due to such a wide variety of
suitable microclimates and
possibly global warming.
Prince Edward County
is a fine example.
Delgatto Estates Winery
has such a microclimate
that has allowed it to pro-
duce a Vinifera wine called
Pinotage that was original-
ly developed for the South
African climate.
Patrick Delgatto refused
to believe that he could not
do it due to this microcli-
mate resulting in a first
class wine. His small win-
ery has become the home of
many unheard of grape va-
rieties.
Following his massiveFollowing his massiveF
success of the Pinotage, he
has successfully grown sev-
eral rather different variet-
ies on his property, such as
a red wine that resembles a
Touriga National called Pe-
tite Pearl, a gorgeous Gei-
senheim tasting very much
like a Riesling and a superb
Frontenac Gris.
Paul Battilana, wine
maker at Casa Dea, has just
added a rare white Pecorino
wine to the fold. Pecorino
comes from Abruzzo, Italy.
Battilana, who also
grows Zweigelt, grows the
white Melon de Bourg as do
Norman Hardy and Keinte-
he Estates.
Innovative vineyards in
Prince Edward County are
progressing in growing dif-
ficult to grow vines success-ficult to grow vines success-f
fully.fully.f
The Grange of Prince
Edward County grows first
class single vineyard Pinot
Noir, while Waupoos has
some exciting Vinifera
blends, such as its Caber-
net/Shiraz. Lacey Estates
have an outstanding Rosé
that is made from Pinot
Gris. The innovations,
whether from other parts of
the world or here in Onta-
rio, just keep on coming.-

DURHAM - Some regu-
latory changes will be
coming to school boards in
Ontario over the coming
year.
Durham District
School Board trustees re-
ceived a memo from the
Ministry of Education at
the board's May 22 meet-
ing, outlining some of the
new rules.
The maximum base pay
for trustees is being in-
creased from $5,900 to
$6,300 effective with the
new term of office in De-
cember 2018.
All school boards in On-
tario are now required to
have a code of conduct in
place for trustees, make it
available to the public and
review it after each gener-
al election starting with
the new term of office in
2018.
School boards that
don't currently have a code
of conduct must establish
one by May 15, 2019.
Other changes include
giving school boards the
option of providing stu-
dent trustees with either a
one-year or two-year term
of office, and allowing
board chairs to preside
over a meeting electroni-
cally under certain cir-
cumstances such as health
issues or unsafe weather.

• Specializing in bathroom and
kitchen renovations
• Full plumbing services by a licensed
plumber
• Licensed, insured and take pride in
all of our quality services
• All name-brand products
• Serving the GTA and Durham
With its ever-expanding renovation services,
Crystal Bath is holding the mantra of keeping it
close to home. Crystal Bath employees work on
the renovations from start to finish. From the
design to the build all the way to the finishing
touches, they work with the customers to ensure
the customers’satisfaction.
Since 1995, Crystal Bath has garnered a
reputation for relaxing, efficient and quality
home renovations. Most of the business is done
by referral customers and word-of-mouth.
“We’re expanding again because we’re trying
to keep up with customer’s demands,” says Ann.
And the demands keep coming in.
For a free consultation or for more
information about Crystal Bath, visit
www.crystalbath.ca or call 416-261-6199.
Known for its tried and true bathroom and
kitchen renovations, Crystal Bath, is undergoing
its own improvements. Crystal Bath will now be
expanding their services to the Durham Region,
including basement renovations and new builds.
Home renovations are typically a stressful and
tiring ordeal for a family. As a family business,
Crystal Bath understands this better than most,
so they go to great lengths to ensure that
renovations are done smoothly and stress free.
Crystal Bath is the epitome of a family-run
business.Itbeganin1995withhusbandandwife,

kitchenrenovationstotheirrepertoire.Soontheir
son,Chris,joinedthefamilybusinessandbecame
a licensed plumber. Once again, the business
expanded to include full plumbing services and
construction, but still kept that family feel.
Crystal Bath does not subcontract out to
others, a common tactic in home renovations,
but one that often makes renovations a stressful
crowd of people flowing in and out of the house.
“With us, you don’t have to shop around,”says
Ann. “We provide everything for you. We don’t
farm it out to strangers.”
Crystal Bath wants to make sure everything
is as smooth as possible during the renovations.
One customer said redoing the bathrooms and
kitchen in her house was actually fun and not at
allstressful.Theyonlyusetheirownemployeesto
ensure quality and efficient work.
Mario and Ann understand that undertaking
a renovation is personal, and so they take the
utmost care to ensure that the work is done on
time and on budget.
The process begins with a free consultation.
The owners and the customer chat about what
renovations are to be done, and what the final
design will look like. In the showroom, the
customer can choose from a wide variety of
products for the renovation from tiles to cabinets
to fixtures to countertops. Crystal Bath can
create a room for every taste, from traditional to
contemporary, and everything in between.

Kurves Brow Bar Offersthreading:
an Effective & natural hair removal Method
Come in to Kurves and be delighted with the
experience. You’ll love the result: eyebrows
that are perfectly sculpted and natural. Leave
the salon with a glowing natural look!
Perfect eyebrows aren’t the only use for
threading. Remove excess hair from your
foreheadoreliminateunwantedhairattheroot
from the upper lip, chin, sideburns, or full face,
and feel renewed with healthy looking, silky
skin, allowing for flawless makeup application.
Nexttimeyoulookinthemirrorandrealizeit’s
time to trim your eyebrows, put your tweezers
away and head on down to Kurves Brow Bar
in Oshawa. Let the expert staff thread away
those unwanted hairs from your brows and
face. The technique is reported to be more
effective and longer lasting than either waxing
or tweezing. It’s 100 per cent natural, requiring
no products, chemicals or uncomfortable hot
wax, and it’s safe for every kind of skin, even if
you suffer from eczema or exceptionally dry
skin.
Sounds too good to be true? Believe it!Tried
and true for thousands of years, threading is
an ancient Asian method of hair removal that,
in recent times, has been embraced by men
and women in Western countries as their hair
removal method of choice. Why do many top
celebrities and models look so polished? One
secretisthatthey’veusedthreadingtreatments
for years to give them that pictureperfect brow
and smooth face.
Practitioners at Kurves Brow Bar can make
you look like a star too, and all with a thin, pure
cotton thread and the technician’s deft and
artful hands. With the thread, hair is twisted,
rolling over untidy hairlines, following the
natural straight lines of the brow hair. Because
hair, including fine hair, is removed right down
tothefollicles,returninghairgrowthisdelayed.
how Doesthreadingwork?
Threading removes an entire row of hair,
instead of just one administered painfully by
tweezing that often causes irritation, swelling,
redness,and in grown hairs.Threading
penetrates more deeply than even waxing,
but it won’t peel and traumatize skin the way
waxing does. For people with skin sensitivities
or who use Retin A and Accutane, threading
offers a safe and far more satisfactory
alternative.
To highlight your new, natural look with that
perfect finish, Kurves offers their own line
of beauty products, including eyebrow
powder that comes in soft black, dark,
medium or light brown. They were created to
suiteveryone’sshadeofbrow,accordingtohair
colour, even blondes.
Looking for a more permanent eyebrow
colour? Kurves Brow Bar has now added
experteyebrowtintingtoitslineofprofessional
services.
No appointment is necessary. Expedient
and talented, the friendly staff will have you
looking your best in minutes! Oshawa Kurves
Brow Bar has become so popular, it has
developed as a franchise, with attractive kiosks
and store’s opening across Canada.
Kurve’s Brow Bar is located on the Main
Level at Oshawa Centre, 419 King street
west, Oshawa. For more information,
