That's according to new data released at the DDSB's last board meet- ing of the school year, on June 18. For the first time, a re- port breaks down the types of violent incidents that DDSB staff - teachers, educational assistants and early childhood edu- cators - are experiencing, as well as the ages of stu- dents involved. Between September 2017 and May 2018, DDSB employees filed 3,570 vio- lent incident reports. That doesn't necessari- ly reflect the number of in- cidents, as more than one employee may file a report on the same incident. The report doesn't in- clude data from previous years, making it difficult to know if the problem is getting worse. Metroland Durham Re- gion Media Group filed a freedom of information request in April asking for the number of violent in- cidents reported to the DDSB's joint health and safety committee last year as well as this year - when the DDSB declined to pro- vide the information, an appeal was filed with On- tario's information and privacy commissioner. Eighty-three per cent of reports filed this school year involved DDSB em- ployees being hit, pushed or kicked. Twenty-six per cent in- volved scratching, grab- bing or pinching; 21 per cent involved biting; 16 per cent involved verbal threats, yelling and pro- fanity; and 15 per cent fell into the "other" category, which includes hair-pull- ing, spitting and objects being thrown. T he majority of re- ports - 61 per cent - in- volved students in kinder- garten to Grade 3; stu- dents in Grade 4 to 6 were involved in 24 per cent. Students in Grades 7 and higher made up the other 15 per cent. "The most striking thing for people who are not in the system is the percentage of incidents for kindergarten to Grade 3," says David Mastin, president of the Durham local of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO). He calls the rate of re- ports involving kinder- garten students "astound- ing" and says the result is increasing numbers of kindergarten teachers on long-term disability leave. "The psychological, emotional and mental toll that it takes is signifi- cant," Mastin says. "It's not about whether a three- year-old can hurt you ... it's not because of a bite mark on their arm. It's the toll that it takes." The issue has been high-profile this school year. In October, ETFO Dur- ham hosted a series of town hall meetings to get feedback on violence in classrooms and supports for students with special needs. At the meetings, teach- ers described being punched, scratched, bit- ten and having school equipment thrown at them. Then in December, DDSB trustee Paul Craw- ford moved a motion call- ing for parents or guard- ians to be notified of any violent incident that af- fects their child, or occurs in their child's classroom. Trustees voted against the idea, fearing it could lead to "witch hunts" of special needs students, and violate privacy rules. The numbers that are available suggest the number of reports filed by DDSB staff is on the rise. In an interview last fall, DDSB superinten- dent Richard Kennelly said there were 640 re- ports filed between the be- ginning of the school year and late October, com- pared with 411 reports dur- ing the same period the year before. Mastin says ETFO Durham members have filed more than dou- ble the amount of reports this year, compared with last year. Both the school board and the union note the increase could be par- tially due to a new report- ing system that allows em- ployees to file reports on their own, without going through school adminis- tration. DDSB chair Michael Barrett praised the new report, saying the break- down by incident type and student age provides more clarity - the number of re- ports involving primary students was an "aha mo- ment" for him. "We've got the full-day kindergarten program, but we're not providing enough supports," he says, pointing to long- standing concerns about the province's education funding formula. "The re- ality is we're dealing with some very vulnerable children who need extra help that isn't being fund- ed." Barrett said the fact that 1.7 per cent of staff submitted 66.7 per cent of all reports this year also underscores that there are vulnerable students who are committing vio- lent acts over and over again. Going forward, Kennel- ly says, the board will re- port on violent incidents against employees, on an annual basis. He says the new data is useful for showing when and where violent inci- dents occurred, and he says, "The why is what we need to get to." Identifying what trig- gers the behaviour will be key, Kennelly says, as well as putting more supports in place for big transi- tions, such as the start of kindergarten and the move from kindergarten to Grade 1. The new report makes several recommenda- tions. For example, the DDSB plans to partner with Grove School and Lake- ridge Community Sup- port Services to create a pilot class for students with "the most neurologi- cally complex challeng- es," in order to prevent be- haviour that poses a risk of harm to themselves or others.

Ford confirmed at a press conference at Ontario Pow- er Generation's Pickering Nuclear Generating Station that he wants the plant to continue operations in the city until 2024. Joined by incoming Durham Region MPPs Peter Bethlenfalvy (Pickering-Uxbridge), Rod Phillips (Ajax), Lorne Coe (Whitby) and Lindsey Park (Durham), Ford made the announcement, saying he would protect the jobs at the Pickering operation and believed in "made-in-Ontario electricity and made-in- Ontario jobs." Those words were just what workers at the plant deserved to hear from the premier-designate of the Pro- gressive Conservatives that achieved a majority govern- ment in the provincial election on June 7. The government's commitment to the Pickering plant, which began operations of its A station in 1971, could help save and protect 4,500 local jobs in addition to 3,000 other jobs that are dependent on the nuclear in- dustry in Durham. The plant was slated to close on Aug. 31, but OPG is currently in the process of seeking a 10-year license extension in order to operate the Pickering station until the end of 2024, followed by safe storage activities such as removal of fuel and water until 2028. The move to preserve the operations at OPG's Picker- ing facility makes sense from a power generation stand- point, too. The station adds to energy security within Ontario by providing power for 1.5 million homes every day and is responsible for 14 per cent of electricity in the province. Pickering represents a large block of energy production that would be hard to replace in the short term, and is certainly necessary with the ongoing refur- bishment at the Darlington station. The incoming government's commitment has huge ramifications for the entire province. An Impact Analysis on Ontario's Economy, an independent economic analysis released in partnership with the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Canadi- an Centre for Economic Analysis, and sponsored by OPG, found three major benefits to continued operations in Pickering until 2024: $1.54 billion to Ontario's GDP per year; 7,590 full-time equivalent jobs per year; and $290 million in government taxation revenues ($155 million to federal and $135 million to provincial). As long as the site can continue to operate in the safe manner in which it has historically been operated, the life extension to the Pickering nuclear plant is a win- win-win situation - for the workers, for OPG and for Durham Region. Ford's commitment to Pickering nuclear plant a win-win-win situation Retail trade is a key em- ployment sector in Dur- ham Region, on an upward trend with Pickering, Osh- awa, Whitby and Bowman- ville operating renewed retail or new sites such as the Ikea pickup. In the 2016 census, the Durham Region retail trade employed 35,655 peo- ple or 12.56 per cent of the employed labour force by place of residence; more than health care and social assistance, making retail trade the highest employ- ment sector in the region. Retail is a growing sector in Durham Region and all data indicates that it con- tinues to employ a sub- stantial number of people in the labour force. However, the retail trade is changing. Be- tween 2013 and 2017 the number of firms employ- ing more than 500 employ- ees decreased from four to zero and currently no large retailer is among the top 10 employers of Dur- ham Region. The number of businesses with one to four employees decreased from 792 to 670 and busi- nesses with 20 to 49 em- ployees decreased from 192 to 182. Yet, businesses with five to nine employees in- creased and so did busi- nesses with 50 to 99 em- ployees. The sector employs a significant proportion of employed residents in a range of occupations, functions and skill level. Employees aged 15 to 24 years mainly work as shelf stockers, clerks and order fillers, 58 per cent of em- ployees work as cashiers and 41 per cent as stations attendants. Approximately 40 per cent of employees aged 24 to 44 years work as retail sales supervisors and 42 per cent are buyers. Thirty per cent of retail trade manager positions are filled by people aged 45 to 54 years and approximate- ly 24 per cent of retail trade managers are aged 55 years and over. The Durham Workforce Authority will be re- leasing a full retail trade report on its website in early July. –Heather McMillan is the executive director of the Durham Workforce Au- thority.

Key components of the construction contract include: •Replacement of the Brock Street bridge and reconfiguration of the Brock Street Interchange ramps; •Widening Highway 401 to include an auxiliary lane in each direction between Highway 412 and Brock Street; •Adjustments to the local road network and extension of the local multi-use path system to Brock Street;and •Safety and operational improvements including Highway 401 pavement rehabilitation,improvements to shoulder and lane widths, replacement and extension of the noise wall west of Brock Street, extension of Highway 401 High Mast illumination. Impacts to the travelling public will be minimized by maintaining the existing number of lanes on Brock Street and Highway 401 during peak periods.Two closures (Saturday night to Sunday morning)of Highway 401 will be required to demolish the old Brock Street bridge in stages.Notice of Demolition and Detour Routes will be published in advance of the Highway 401 closures. Residents adjacent to the construction of the project are advised that higher than normal noise levels are anticipated during the scheduled works.Standard noise mitigation measures pertaining to equipment maintenance and operation will be implemented as part of the contract. The MTO Commuter Parking Lot,northeast of the Whitby GO Station,will remain closed throughout the project.The GO Transit commuter parking lots will remain open to the public. Questions regarding construction may be directed to Mr.Hasan Khan,P.Eng.,Contract Administrator,GHD Limited,at 905-752-4359,2017-2038@ghd.com. Migration may be over, but there are s till plenty of birds around to discover and enjoy. A few friends and my hus- b and and I found 105 s pecies on a fun, re- l axed outing last week, visiting some favourite local habi- tats. Starting at first l ight at the north edge of the Ganaraska For- est, where night- hawks were flying about, emitting their raspy, nasal "peer" c alls, the males diving i n display and pulling up again with a dra- matic whoosh of beat- i ng wings. I hadn't heard a whip-poor-will all s pring, so that was my top target. What is s ummer without hear- i ng those eager, evoca- tive, frenetic calls? And sure enough, I s tood there breath- l essly along the sandy road, soaking in the s ound as one, two, three whip-poor-wills s tarted screaming at each other, on and on. We even saw two fly up, dark silhouettes against the lightening s ky. When Dennis heard a barred owl calling from far-off, our friend Ron Tozer, re- tired naturalist from Algonquin Park, did his famous barred-owl hooting, and to our s urprise the owl came over in full daylight to check him out, an un- expected treat. F lycatchers, wood- peckers, upland sand- pipers, cliff swallows, black-billed cuckoo - t he list grew as we car- ried on over the Oak Ridges Moraine to the Carden Alvar, then back down south to some Lake Ontario marshes for water- fowl in the afternoon. At Lakeridge Road n ear Taunton sharp- eyed Tony Crasto spotted a bald eagle soaring overhead. I g ot to see it from my side of the car as we whizzed by, its broad wings a wedge of black against the blue sky. Bank swallows and h erring gulls at the foot of Halls Road, purple martins at the yacht club, Caspian and common terns and Bonaparte's gulls at Whitby Harbour. We heard willow fly- catcher and orchard oriole at Thickson's Woods Nature Re- serve, and finally saw a hummingbird com- ing to our feeder when we arrived home. A ll in all, a delight- f ul day.

June proves to be a great birding month OPINION Nature writer Margaret Carney and friends see 105 species in single day MARGARET CARNEY Column Sugar: good for you, or bad? Like most things in medicine, it depends. Sugar provides es- sential energy to your mind and body, yet can also threaten your health. So, learn to live in harmony with sugar and make wholesome choices with these simple tips. Don't drink it. Just say 'no' to sodas, store-bought lemon- ades, iced teas and flavoured beverages. These super-sweet drinks are high in sugar and boast almost no attractive nu- tritional qualities. In fact, many children's yogurt drinks contain as much sugar as an equivalent amount of soda. What about juice? When fruit is juiced, it's stripped of its fibre and fibre is necessary to con- trol spikes in blood sugar and insulin. So, instead of health benefits, you're left with meta- bolic changes that increase your risk of obesity and diabe- tes. Finally, learn to love your coffee (or tea) sans sucre. Limit processed foods. Many pro- cessed foods contain large amounts of sugar - particular- ly fructose, which promotes obesity, high cholesterol, in- flammation and liver disease. Fructose is also hidden as HFCS (high-fructose corn syr- up) and natural corn or maize syrup. It can be hard to spot, but steering clear of processed foods is a good start. Remem- ber: fruit contains naturally- occurring fructose but it's found in much smaller amounts, and it works togeth- er with fibre and important phytonutrients to provide an overall health benefit. Avoid non-nutritive sweet- eners. Aspartame, sucralose, stevia - a study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal concluded that these don't pro- mote weight loss as intended. In fact, they may increase your risk of obesity and heart dis- ease. Plus, they have no nutri- tional value - what are you re- ally putting in your body? –Dr. Jessica Ross practises medicine in Ontario.

Lorien Ray and her hus- band Don Gawley have been using the city's se- niors and persons with dis- abilities snow cleaning program for several years. Ray, 60, has pudendal neu- ralgia, a type of chronic pelvic pain that originates from the pudendal nerve. When Ray signed the contract with the city this time, she specifically asked that no salt be used on the walkway, which is noted in capital letters on the con- tract. She explained last win- ter her steps began crum- bling, and she hired some- one to fix them. She said this prompted the couple to request the city to avoid us- ing salt this season. "I said, 'I do not want rock salt on it'," she said. But again, she noticed more damage this spring, even on the steps that had been repaired. Ray has complained to several people at the city, stating the city should be responsible for repairing her walkway, since the company contracted out by the city to do the work, end- ed up using salt despite her request. Gawley said he has found information that states rock salt can ruin concrete. Ray isn't satisfied with the city's response. A letter from Pickering chief administrative offi- cer Tony Prevedel to Ray, said the city has deter- mined the state of the steps/stones is due to pre- existing deficiencies (ma- turity) and not related to salt being used during the snow removal program. He said the stones contain damp hairline cracks which are signs of older poured concrete. "During warmer weath- er, water penetrates the stones. During cooler weather the water expands and deteriorates the stones, which is what has occurred in this instance," Prevedel said. Rod Marshall, Picker- ing's acting manager of op- erations, said this past win- ter, Pickering's snow re- moval program provided service to 468 seniors and persons with disabilities. "Out of the 468 residents we've had two concerns," he said. Marshall said he was told by the contractor that at two points over the win- ter months, salt was used on the homes belonging to residents that had specifi- cally asked that the materi- al not be used. The decision was made when conditions were icy for liability pur- poses. "And he had concerns that if emergency services had to come to this home they could have fell down and hurt themselves," Mar- shall said. Marshall said if the city decided the damage was due to the contractor's neg- ligence, the city would have the contractor re- place it. "In this case the city de- termined that it was not negligence by the contrac- tors, that nothing will be done," Marshall said. Ray said the concrete in the backyard that was in- stalled at the same time as the front walkway, less than 10 years ago, has not been salted, and has not been damaged. "I just get tired of the city not co-operating," she said. "We're constituents. We pay taxes." "We just feel like enough is enough," said Gawley.

Shots were fired as the event, at Esplanade Park, was wrapping up for the night on Saturday, June 2. The victims - a 20-year- old Pickering man, a 30- year-old North York man, a 17-year-old boy from Ajax and a 16-year-old boy from Ajax - all sus- tained non life-threaten- ing injuries. Durham police said at the time the shooting was not a random act. The event proceeded as sched- uled the next day. Police are crediting in- formation provided by witnesses at the event with helping to advance the investigation. People waited late into the night to speak to officers on scene, and also provided video clips and other in- formation after the fact, said Const. George Tu- dos. "People stood by after- ward to give us informa- tion. People waited for hours after the incident to share information," said Tudos. "This was something that shook the communi- ty," Tudos said. O ne witness who spoke after the shooting said there was evident tension among attendees prior to the shots being fired. "The thing is there was a vibe," said the woman. She said one teenage boy was arguing with a security guard, unsuc- cessfully trying to get in- to the park, but he even- tually walked away and went back to his large group of friends. She said an argument broke out between two teenage boys, one from the large group, and the other from a smaller g roup. "I said to my husband, 'Let's hurry up and get the hell out of here'," she said. Suddenly, there were three shots. Everyone started running, and she heard five more shots. A suspect appeared in bail court in Oshawa Wednesday morning. Ahyjay Francis-Simms, 20, of Epps Crescent in Ajax faces numerous charges including four counts each of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon; discharging a firearm with intent; pos- session of a firearm ob- tained by crime, carrying a firearm while prohibit- e d, and breach of recogni- zance. –-With files by Kristen Calis NEWS Ajax man charged in Pickering Ribfest shooting JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com Colin Williamson/submitted Police investigate at the Pickering Ribfest. 17 | New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , J u n e 2 8 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m Stay Safe thiS canada day dOn’t dRinK & dRiVe! Canada Day is a great day to celebrate all things Canadian. From Beaver tails to setting off fireworks, Canadians will be celebrating the best of being Canadian on July 1. For many Canadians, that will mean driving to visit family and friends or being the first road trip of the summer. In the excitement, we want to remind drivers to be extra cautious this Canada Day when traveling. There are several safe driving tips that drivers should follow when on the roads this Canada Day! 1. Before heading out on a road trip, top up all fluids and ensure that your windshield wipers are in good condition. 2. Fill your gas tank. The roads will be busy so avoid the additional stress of a low gas tank. 3. Plan your route. Know where you are going and how long it will take. Let family and friends know about your travel plans in the event you may run into a problem. 4. Avoid being distracted behind the wheel.

Indeed! If Doug Ford is guilty of the "courting of a viru- lently homophobic and transphobic conservative base" then why did he get rid of sex-ed critic Tanya Granic Allen right after she boosted him into the leadership position? "Removing sex-ed and LGBTQ material from ed- ucational institutions is an act of discrimination against our community"? Leaving it in may well cre- ate gender confusion among "straight" chil- dren, who constitute the vast majority of our youn- ger students. If our "LGBTQ commu- nity" is so upset about los- ing control of sex-ed con- tent, one may reasonably wonder what their agenda is; this surprisingly hys- terical reaction certainly invites speculation. Jeff Goodall Oshawa OPINION Sex-ed letter a hysterical reaction says reader To the editor: Re: World Cup in Canada, cartoon, June 20 It's great that there is so much enthusi- asm for the World Cup and people have the flags of their country of origin flying out of the windows of their cars, but I hope these same people are going to be flying the Cana- dian flag for July 1 as well. From what I have observed in the past years around Pickering, it is not so. I don't see the patriotism for Canada that should be. And it is very disappointing. You can bet on July 4 in the U.S. flags are flying high everywhere. We need to be a bit more patriotic. So, citizens of Durham Region, get your Canadian flag out and fly it with pride and thanks to be in the greatest country. Isn't that why you live here?

For the first time in three years, she’ll be able to more regularly accompany her boys, aged 10 and 13, to their sports and activities. She’s looking forward to a summer of doing whatever she chooses. She’ll also continue her ministry as a pastor. Soon, she’ll return to her job as a music, drama and dance teacher after being in and out of hospital with a series of surgeries and complications that would strike fear in the hearts of most people. “I was a fixture at Ajax Pickering Hospital for about two years,” she laughs, her cheerful tone belying the seriousness of the conditions she faced. She rattles off the names of Lakeridge Health physicians at Ajax Pickering Hospital and Oshawa Hospital, including specialists in gynecology, urology, oncology, radiology, infectious disease and even the Shoulder Centre. But Shireen’s not one to focus on the negative. Instead, she tells a story of bravery and recovery, with a supporting cast of hospital staff and physicians who gave their best to care for her through a difficult and complex journey. She has now turned her efforts to helping to improve the hospital experiences of others. As a Lakeridge Health Patient and Family Experience Advisor, she shares both the positive and negative aspects of her experience with staff, helping them to understand what worked and what didn’t so that they can make changes for the better. She gives speeches, participates in interview panels and has even joined an advanced care planning committee to help define Lakeridge Health’s approach to teaching this new model to physicians. Shireen committed to not only making herself better by overcoming her illness, but to finding ways to make the care experience better for others too,” says Dr. Medhat El-Mallah, Shireen’s radiation oncologist. “I’m so grateful for her efforts and insights and the impact her volunteering has had on patients and the health care team throughout Lakeridge Health and the Durham Regional Cancer Centre. “There were so many people involved in my care,” explains Shireen. “I wanted to know: how can I help? And it turned out that by sharing my experiences, I could help other people navigate a lot of things more effectively.

Lakeridge Health Lakeridge Health is on a journey of transformation to become a comprehensive regional system of acute care for Durham Region and beyond. Our aim is to deliver safe, high quality and seamless health care as well as an excellent patient experience for all those who come to us for support, compassion and care. Over the course of the 2017/18 fiscal year, the organization made significant strides in meeting our commitment to serve our communities better. Across all Lakeridge Health locations, we delivered on the promise to provide high-quality care closer to home for the more than 650,000 residents of Durham Region by changing how we deliver care to improve outcomes and by introducing several new services across the region. Over the last year, we cared for and treated more highly-complex patients than ever before. We faced unprecedented volumes in our emergency departments. Across the province, including at Lakeridge Health, hospitals are struggling to meet the increasing needs of people seeking emergency care and treatment. Rising to this challenge, we are focused on implementing improvements, introducing new models of care and acting on the recommendations of the Patient Experience Panel report. Last August, the Lakeridge Health team seamlessly responded to the fire at the Port Perry Hospital to ensure that every patient, family and team member was safe and supported with minimal disruption in the delivery of care. We are counting the days until the hospital reopens on September 5, 2018 and are eager to begin delivering care and treatment at Port Perry Hospital. Over the winter, we conducted large-scale consultations with internal and external stakeholders across Durham Region as part of the Master Planning process. A Master Program and Plan determines how and where services will be delivered today and for the next 25 years.Through this important engagement process, Lakeridge Health received more than 5,000 points of feedback, including input on new and expanded clinical programming, technological options to extend access to care and expanding our role as a leader in connecting the local health care system to serve people better. In the spirit of transformation, diversity, inclusion and health equity were identified as key priorities. Lakeridge Health has developed an Inclusion, Diversity and Equity framework, formalizing a commitment to ensure our organization, our care practices and our physical environments reflect the communities we serve across Durham Region.The framework guides decisions on a number of key issues including Board and Community Advisory Panel membership, hiring and training practices, and care delivery and will extend in the future to care delivery models and patient experience practices. As we reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, it is clear that these achievements would not be possible without the support of our talented teams and the entire Lakeridge Health community.

Pickering is one of five municipal shareholders that needed to approve the merger so it can move for- ward through the regulato- ry process. The others are Clarington, Ajax, Belleville and Whitby. All approved the merger on June 25 or be- fore. "The City of Pickering is both pleased and confident to support the Veridian- Whitby Hydro merger," said Mayor Dave Ryan, who also sits on the Veridian board of directors. "This is a long- term investment, which will benefit our residents and businesses for years to come. In addition, Pickering will realize higher annual dividends that can be rein- vested back into key priori- ty areas for our communi- ty." Ward 3 regional Coun. David Pickles, also a Veri- dian board member, said he and others have been work- ing toward a merger to help Veridian curb electrician distribution costs to its cus- tomers and increase reve- nues to the city. "It's a win-win for the res- idents and taxpayers of the five municipalities, and Ve- ridian and Whitby Hydro customers. Electricity dis- tribution rates will remain stable and Pickering as a major share holder will see an increase in revenue from the merger utility to help offset property tax increas- es," he said. The new combined com- pany will continue to be 100 per cent municipally-owned and Pickering will have a 27.88-per cent ownership in- terest in the merged compa- ny. Customers will benefit from the greater rate stabil- ity a merger offers, along with protection from poten- tial future rate increases. Distribution rates are ex- pected to be, on average, ap- proximately 3.8 per cent less than they otherwise would have been under Veridian and Whitby Hydro alone. Customers can also expect access to greater resources during major outage events and around-the-clock con- trol room capabilities across the entire service ar- ea. The merger offers share- holders stronger, more sus- tainable cash flow in inter- est and dividends and is ex- pected to produce about $90 million in savings over the next 17 years. Municipal shareholders will receive in- creased dividends, which can help mitigate tax in- creases and can be reinvest- ed back into their respective communities. The new, yet-unnamed, combined energy company would service more than 162,000 residential and busi- ness customers and be the fourth largest municipally- owned electric utility in On- tario.

Brown, a AAA hockey player who had also been playing soc- cer up until entering Grade 9 at Dunbarton High School in Pick- ering, is glad he finally gave in to persuasive coaches Jamie Brown (no relation) and Hugh Mowbray, and stepped onto the rugby field for practice. "I had never even touched a rugby ball before," Cole Brown recalled. "They nagged at me to come out and when I finally did, I absolutely loved it, so I kept up with it." Did he ever. In fact, while he continued to play hockey at the highest level throughout high school and had offers to play Jr. A next season, Brown has decided to hang up the blades for now and focus on what has become, over the past four years, his favourite sport. He will leave Dunbarton as a four-time athlete of the year and four-time honour roll stu- dent to head to Hamilton's Mc- Master University in the fall, where he will study business and continue to develop his rug- by talent under coach Dan Pletch, a former pro player and national team member. "I thought I would have bet- ter opportunities in rugby (than hockey)," he said, adding the more difficult decision was choosing McMaster over an of- fer from the University of Brit- ish Columbia: "I thought I would go with the more familiar face." A five-foot-11, 170-pounder who usually plays scrum half, Brown was captain of the high school rugby team for the past three years, and recently led the Spartans to the OFSAA championships after a perfect Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) season. Al- though ranked third at provin- cials, Dunbarton lost out in a tight quarter-final and went home having played only two games. Brown's athlete of the year recognition came also from winning LOSSA gold in rugby 7s, a silver medal in wrestling and playing for the school's hockey team. "Cole is an unbelievable ath- lete, but the thing that sets him part is his leadership ability," said Jamie Brown, who coached him in hockey and rugby. "He's driven, focused, but he's a quiet, unassuming leader and every team I've had the pleasure to coach him on ... you can see that there's something special there." Brown would like nothing more than to follow in the foot- steps of another Dunbarton grad, John Moonlight, who re- cently returned to Pickering as a firefighter after more than 10 years with the rugby national program in B.C. He says he has met Moonlight four times in the past, three at the school, and is inspired by the 30-year-old 7s star. "He's definitely a big reason why I've wanted to pursue rug- by further because I can see what can happen," said Brown, who will get his first taste of in- ternational action in Ireland this summer with the Ontario Blues. "That's going to be a really cool experience," said Brown. "I've never been out of the coun- try for rugby yet." HIGH SCHOOL Pickering's Cole Brown sure glad he gave rugby a try Cole Brown, named Dunbarton High School's male athlete of the year all four years he was there, was recently named to Ontario Blues rugby team travelling to Ireland in August. He will be going to McMaster University in the fall for rugby and business studies. Sabrina Byrnes/Metroland Dunbarton grad moving on to McMaster, Ontario Blues BRIAN MCNAIR bmcnair@durhamregion.com DALLAS - Ty Dellandrea was likely pleasantly surprised, and definitely thrilled, to hear his name called 13th overall at the 2018 National Hockey League draft Friday, June 22. The 17-year-old Port Perry res- ident was chosen by the Dallas Stars, hosts of the draft at the American Airlines Center in Tex- as, and greeted by former No. 1 pick Mike Modano and current Stars captain Jamie Benn. Ranked 25th among North American skaters by NHL Cen- tral Scouting, the six-foot, 185- pound centre was thought to be a late first or early-second round prospect. "To hear my name called, and being able to go through this jour- ney with my family and friends here, it's really an unbelievable experience," Dellandrea told Josh Bogorad of dallasstars.com. "To hear that crowd roar and be- ing able to walk down to that stage was unbelievable and something I'll always remember." Dellandrea was a fifth overall draft pick into the Ontario Hock- ey League by the Flint Firebirds, where this past season on a team bereft of offensive talent, he put up 27 goals and 59 points in 67 games and was an alternate cap- tain. He was recognized as the Fire- birds' most valuable player and winner of the combined academ- ic and athletics excellence award for the 2017-18 season. He achieved a perfect 4.0 grade point average at Grand Blanc High School in Michigan during his se- nior year. Dellandrea has played the past two years for Canada at the un- der-18 world championships, in- cluding in April, where Canada was upset in the quarter-finals by the Czech Republic. He was an al- ternate captain there as well, and had five points in as many games. At the CHL/NHL Top Pros- pects Game in December, he scored a record two goals in 20 seconds to help Team Cherry to a 7-4 win. "He's got great overall skills," Stars general manager Jim Nill told Bogorad. "He's got great speed, he handles the puck well, he's very competitive, he plays a 200-foot game, both ends of the ice, and on top of it all, he's high end on character. You won't meet a more character young man." Swedish defenceman Rasmus Dahlin, as expected, was selected first overall by the Buffalo Sa- bres. Oshawa Generals forward Serron Noel, the 10th ranked North American skater, was the third pick of the second round on Saturday, June 23, 34th overall to the Florida Panthers. Generals teammates Allan McShane and Nico Gross were both selected in the fourth round Saturday, McShane 97th overall to the Montreal Canadiens and Gross four picks later to the New York Rangers. Enniskillen's Cam Hillis of the Guelph Storm is also now proper- ty of the Habs, chosen 66th over- all in the third round, while Pe- terborough Petes defenceman Declan Chisholm from Bowman- ville went in the fifth round, 150th to the Winnipeg Jets. Pickering Panthers defence- man Dustyn McFaul was drafted in the sixth round, 181st overall, by the Boston Bruins. He was one of only two Ontario Junior Hock- ey League players selected, along with Jack McBain of the Toronto Jr. Canadiens, who went in the third round to the Minnesota Wild.

Most of the body's iron is found in the red blood cells, called hemoglobin, and in muscle cells called myoglo- bin. Hemoglobin is essential for transferring oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the tissues. Myoglobin, in muscle cells, stores, trans- ports and releases oxygen. Most of the elemental iron in adults is in hemo- globin. Much of the re- maining iron is stored in the form of ferritin. When iron stores are exhausted, the condition is called iron depletion. Further de- creases may produce iron deficiency anemia. Low iron levels can be caused by low overall calo- rie intake, low animal pro- tein intake, increased iron losses from blood, injury or gastrointestinal losses, poor absorption of iron due to interactions with food or medication and losses through sweat and urine during periods of heavy training. Without adequate iron, oxygen is not delivered to muscles efficiently, im- pairing muscle function and aerobic capacity. Symptoms of poor iron status include early fatigue during exercise, decreased aerobic capacity, de- creased time to exhaus- tion, decreased immune function and impaired cog- nitive performance. There are two types of iron in food: heme and non- heme iron. Our bodies ab- sorb heme iron more effi- ciently than non-heme iron. The richest sources of heme iron in the diet in- clude lean meat and sea- food. Dietary sources of non-heme iron include nuts, dried beans, enriched grain products and dark green vegetables. The absorption of non- heme iron can be improved by combining sources of heme iron with non-heme iron or adding a source of vitamin C to a meal con- taining non-heme iron. For example, adding peppers and tomatoes to a black bean stir fry or adding strawberries to a spinach salad. Some foods and sub- stances impede the absorp- tion of iron. Coffee, tea and foods high in calcium (or calcium supplements) can inhibit the absorption of iron. Enjoy your coffee and tea separate from an iron- rich meal. If you are taking a calcium supplement, try not to take it with a meal high in iron. If you are concerned about your iron levels, talk to your doctor and request a blood test. Do not take iron supplements without the advice of your doctor or dietitian. It is possible to take more iron than what is considered safe or healthy. If you think you are not getting enough iron in your diet, talk to a registered di- etitian to learn more about how you can increase the iron content and absorp- tion of iron in your diet. –Andrea Miller is a con- sulting registered dietician who emphasizes that healthy eating should be good, nourishing and delicious.

OPINION Proper iron levels important to physical activity Columnist Andrea Miller suggests foods to increase intake ANDREA MILLER Column BOWMANVILLE - He- lio Castroneves, one of the biggest names in auto rac- ing, will be in Bowman- ville July 5-8 as part of the Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Mo- torsport Park. A three-time winner of the famed Indianapolis 500 on the IndyCar cir- cuit, Castroneves is a rookie on the IMSA WeatherTech Champion- ship Series and will be competing for the first time on the 57-year-old, 3.957-kilometre track for- merly known as Mosport International Raceway. "I've heard the track is really fast and that's what I'm looking for," the 43- year-old Brazilian said June 18 on a conference call. "I do enjoy the fast corners, so it sounds like a lot of fun and very techni- cal. And I do enjoy a chal- lenge, obviously. The good news is I won't have any habits since I don't know this place." Castroneves has cer- tainly made a habit of per- forming well at the Indy 500, winning the race in 2001, 2002 and 2009 - mak- ing him one of only nine drivers, and the only ac- tive driver, to have won at least three times - while finishing second in 2003, 2014 and 2017. Usually a fan favourite, Castroneves has had mostly fond memories of competing previously in Canada, first in Quebec on the Indy Light circuit, and more frequently at the annual Honda Indy Toronto at Exhibition Place. But he did recall hear- ing plenty of boos follow- ing a collision with Cana- dian Paul Tracy at the 2009 Toronto race - seven years after a close and controversial finish at the Indy 500 that saw him edge Tracy out for victory. "That's why I enjoy the Canadian fans because they're really passionate about it, they really sup- port their drivers, and they really support the se- ries too no matter what kind of race it is, IndyCar, sports car, so that's what I'm looking for," Castro- neves said of his return to Canada. Looking for a new chal- lenge and a way to extend his career, Castroneves accepted an invitation from Roger Penske to race with co-driver Ricky Tay- lor in an Acura ARX-05 DPi this season. Currently sitting third in the IMSA WeatherTech standings, the team earned its first victory May 6 at Mid-Ohio. They will race Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen event on July 1 in Watkins Glen, N.Y., prior to heading north of the border. "We seem to be learn- ing as we progress," said Castroneves, setting his sights on a championship in his first year. "Every time we go out on the track, we understand the car a little bit more, and that's our goal, our goal is hopefully to collect more victories ... and we catch more on a championship." Castroneves was hop- ing to have a test drive on the Bowmanville track be- fore the July 6 practice sessions, but either way is looking forward to learn- ing its nuances as the weekend moves along. The series involves three different classes - Proto- type, GT Le Mans and GT Daytona - which adds to the challenge. "I'm being pushed the entire race, and not only that, every lap is different because you're racing dif- ferent cars, you're racing different series, and it is constantly, constantly pushing, so it is very, very much fun," Castroneves said. "I'm having a good time. Hopefully I'm going to be learning as much as I can so I can keep doing this for a long, long time." The Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge and IMSA Prototype Chal- lenge Series will also com- pete over the course of the weekend, which culmi- nates with the two-hour and 40-minute IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race July 8 at 2:05 p.m. Visit www.ca- nadiantiremotorsport- park.com for ticket infor- mation.

Matt Snell, 26, died while rock climbing near Banff on Friday, June 8. He had moved out there from his Whitby home in early 2017 and was pursuing his passion for photography while he worked for Parks Canada. A celebration of life was held on Friday, June 22 at Heydenshore Pavilion in Whitby, giving family and friends a chance to remem- ber him. More than 100 came out, including repre- sentatives from several fire services across Durham, as Snell's father Dwayne is the deputy chief with the Ajax department. A Whitby fire crew came to the celebration but had to leave when a call came in. His mother Sandra said of his photography, "He loved it. He loved it. It's such a loss. He had so much more to do. He did a lot in two years. "He came alive out there. He really came to life," she added, noting his camera "was like another limb." The accident happened when Snell and a friend were descending a Tunnel Mountain rock face known as the Le Soulier (The Shoe) when he fell 25 to 40 metres. Snell first went to Alber- ta in 2014 and "he was amazed by the beauty of the vast landscape," San- dra and Dwayne noted on a Facebook posting. Snell moved to Banff in January 2017 when he got a permanent job with Parks Canada. "He had been to these mountains many times but now could wake up to them every morning," they wrote. "And that he did - often rising so early he could climb a summit to catch the sunrise. "Then off to work for the day and back to a lake where he could capture the sunrise, the aurora, the stars so bright." Richard Duemmel, his uncle and Sandra's broth- er, said, "Talented, skilled, adventurous is a good de- scription. "He saw a whole differ- ent world through his eyes. I'm so grateful he shared it with us," Duemmel said at the celebration. "Things were really kicking off," he noted. "He has done so much in the last three years. He did more than some do in 20, 30, 40 years." Matt's pictures and movies "will last forever. It's tragic." A montage of Snell's photographs and videos, along with pictures of him through the years, was shown and it was titled Wander on Matthew. One Twitter posting was one of his photos with a sce- nic image of the moun- tains. He wrote, "I could not ask for a better backyard. This place makes me in- credibly happy." Daniel Venier went to All Saints Catholic Second- ary School with Snell. "He was fun to be around. He was full of ener- gy," Venier noted. They competed on the cross-country team togeth- er and would "end up at the same parties on New Year's Eve." While they had lost touch after high school, he noted, "Social media keeps everyone in touch now." He said Snell took "amazing photos. He was following his passion." Snell had gone to school for engineering, but then pivoted to photography. "It's inspirational to fol- low your passion. You can still do amazing things."

It's Oshawa's new Cross- ing Point Festival, coming to Brick By Brick Park July 27 and 28. "Oshawa's ripe for this; the community's ready for this," says the Professors of Funk frontman. The music festival fea- tures an opening night lineup of guest artists backed by the Professors of Funk, a nine-piece band that plays classic funk, R&B and soul and has members from Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Ux- bridge. On Saturday, the music plays from 3:30 to 10 p.m. Canadian roots rock icons the Skydiggers are headlining the event and there will be local talent: folk artist and Whitby na- tive Annie Sumi, alt folk/ rock/country musician Patrick Dorie, also of Whit- by, and Oshawa heavy rockers Crown Lands. Also taking the stage is multiple Juno nominee and reggae-based Am- moye, blues rocker Sarah Fazackerley and the vari- ously influenced JXCK KXLLY and SATE, with more to be announced. Giberson says one of the great things about Canada is so many music genres have a home here. And that's the vision for the fes- tival, reflecting the coun- try's musical diversity with a variety of artists. "There's going to be some things that are very familiar and other things, flavours that you don't get to hear (very often)," he says. A professional musi- cian for a number of years, Giberson has played festi- vals all over the place and says he has a sense of what works and what will work specifically in Oshawa. Crossing Point will be an all-ages festival and kids 12 and under get in free if accompanied by an adult. "We want families to feel very much welcome," he says. Tickets are $28.25 for Friday night, $48.03 for Sat- urday and a weekend pass is $67.80, available at www.ticketscene.ca. The venue is the park across the street from the Midtown Mall at Nassau and John streets, which Gi- berson describes as "a won- derful but underutilized space in the city." Giberson's co-director of the festival, a nonprofit corporation, is Jacob Ha- mayda, owner and co- founder of Oshawa's the Moustache Club. The last time the city had such an event was the Oshawa Jazz and Blues Festival around a decade ago.

Infused with academic excellence and the enthusiasm of youth, the University strengthens its reputation on the world stage through a commitment to science, technology, engineering, math, and social science while nurturing cultural and community engagement, and creating and graduating an inspired generation of citizen leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs. To boldly deliver on the ambition to become Canada’s best technological university,the University invites applications/nominations from entrepreneurs, outstanding business and community leaders, and up-and-coming executive leaders for multiple 2018 Board Governor appointments to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s Board of Governors. Through the University’s partnerships with industry, business, institutions, government and community organizations, students prepare themselves for the workplace by engaging in today’s education, preparing them for life. Integrating the sciences and technology with the arts and social science inspires students to think deeply and creatively, and challenges them to strengthen social, scientific and economic innovation with equity, diversity and inclusivity to create a better Canada. Progressive experiential learning opportunities push students’ boundaries of innovation and discovery, and foster an entrepreneurial “can-do” spirit with a social conscience,a cornerstone of the University experience. With Dr. Steven Murphy, the new President and Vice-Chancellor recently installed, there is excitement, energy and growth opportunity to harness and unleash in Durham Region and Northumberland County, the GTA, Canada and globally. Dr. Murphy leads with vision and sees scaling corporate partnerships in lockstep with the development of entrepreneurship, and solving complex social problems with industry, the public and the not-for-profit sectors. If you are a business or community leader who is passionate about creating tomorrow’s citizen leaders today and are prepared to play a critical role in the University’s future, we want to hear from you. Board Governors are expected to be enthusiastic ambassadors for the University and our mission, building our reputation with all stakeholders, students, partners, funders and donors at home and abroad. The ideal Board Governor will be a bold and strategic thinker who will live and breathe the University’s values, which include integrity and respect, honesty and accountability, dedication to quality and intellectual rigor, good governance and the pursuit of innovation. They will have a personal connection to and/or a commitment to the University’s success, its mission, vision and values, and the students, faculty, staff and citizens the University serves. This is an outstanding opportunity for courageous, innovative and entrepreneurial board leaders motivated and personally committed to making a significant difference.
