Premier Doug Ford re- cently announced that all publicly funded colleges and universities in Ontario will be required to develop, implement and comply with a free speech policy by Jan. 1. "Colleges and universi- ties should be places where students exchange differ- ent ideas and opinions in open and respectful de- bate," Ford said. A government state- ment said the policies will protect free speech, but "ensure that hate speech, discrimination and other illegal forms of speech are not allowed on campus." University of Ontario Institute of Technology president Dr. Steven Mur- phy welcomes the new re- quirement, describing free speech as a "cornerstone" of university life. "It provides an opportu- nity to clarify our position on free speech and have a really important discus- sion on our campus around it," he says. Murphy says there will be "major inclusive effort" to consult with UOIT's stakeholders on the policy. He notes there are "bal- ancing tenets" that must be considered - how to allow free speech while protect- ing civility and inclusivity and ensuring people feel safe. For example, many re- cent free speech controver- sies on Ontario campuses have related to whether conservative speakers should be allowed to bring their views to campuses. "Does having this per- son on your campus ele- vate the discourse?" Mur- phy says. "Or, does it sim- ply test the university's ability to bring a contro- versial figure to campus?" The Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario will monitor compliance with the new policies start- ing in September 2019. Ford has said schools that don't comply could face funding cuts and stu- dents who run afoul of the new policies will be subject to "existing campus stu- dent discipline measures." Durham College and UOIT recently faced a free speech controversy, when the former joint student as- sociation was taken to court for its 2015 decision to deny official campus club status to a pro-life group. Court documents said Speak for the Weak was created to "discuss life is- sues on campus," and par- ticipate in activities such as the national March for Life. The former student as- sociation argued the group conflicted with the associa- tion's "anti-oppressive" mandate. In March 2018, a judge ruled that the student asso- ciation was within its rights to deny club status. UOIT also wrestled with free speech concerns last spring when the universi- ty's Office of Student Life papered the campus with posters inviting students to "check your privilege" and listing examples of privilege such as being white, male, able-bodied, heterosexual, Christian or a native English speaker. Some students called the content "hate speech" and as quickly as the post- ers went up, they were re- moved. Meri Kim Oliver, vice- president of student affairs at Durham College, says there haven't been many free speech concerns on the campus in recent years. "It will be a lot about balance," she says, describ- ing the approach to writing a new policy. In addition to prevent- ing hate speech, Oliver said the college will also look at how to handle speech that might be "triggering" to some students. She says Durham Col- lege plans to work collabo- ratively with other Ontario colleges, consult with its staff, faculty, students and unions and look at best practices from other areas. "We'll try to bring all players to the table," she says. "Different places across the country have (policies) that have been recognized as being very solid, we will look to them as resources."

In 2015, based on a directive issued by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commis- sion, the health department partnered with Ontario Power Generation to launch a campaign to provide KI tablets to more than 200,000 homes and businesses locat- ed within a 10-kilometre radius of both nu- clear generating stations in Durham Re- gion. Anyone living within 50 kilometres of a nuclear generating station is eligible to re- ceive KI tablets. KI is a stable iodine salt that is effective in reducing the risk of thyroid cancer, in the highly unlikely event of a nuclear emergency involving the release of radio- active iodine. KI tablets should only be taken when instructed by Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health in the event of a nuclear incident. KI tablets can be obtained by visiting preparetobesafe.ca, calling 905-723-3818 or1-888-777-9613, or by visiting one of the following pharmacies: Bay Ridges Phar- macy, 1794 Liverpool Rd., Pickering; Pick- ering Medical Pharmacy, 1885 Glenanna Rd., Pickering; Liverpool Pharmacy, 725 Krosno Blvd., Pickering; Global Drug Mart Remedy's Rx, 130 Waverly Rd., Bow- manville; Courtice Pharmasave, 2727 Courtice Rd., Courtice.

At the board's Sept. 17 meeting, outgo- ing trustees approved the honorarium amounts that will be in place from Decem- ber 2018, to November 2022. The base amount trustees are paid will remain at $5,900 per year. The previous provincial government had announced a small increase to the base amount - but the new government has suspended any changes to compensation until a review can be done. Trustee pay also includes an amount based on the board's enrolment - for the DDSB it's roughly $11,000 for trustees and slightly more for the chair and vice chair. For the 2018/2019 school year, DDSB trustees will be paid $16,920, the vice-chair will be paid 21,152 and the chair will be paid $25,383. Provincial regulations require school boards to set an honorarium policy by Oct. 15, ahead of the Oct. 22 municipal election.

A motion from Ajax councillor Colleen Jordan and Whitby councillor Joe Drumm seeking the assess- ment was tabled until the new regional council can be sworn in following the Oc- tober municipal election. The first meeting of the new council is set for Wednes- day, Dec. 5. According to the motion, an EA isn't required for a decommissioning under the 2012 Canadian Environ- mental Assessment Act. Also, Ontario Power Generation and the Canadi- an Nuclear Safety Commis- sion aren't required to car- ry out an EA. The motion called on the federal government to re- quire an assessment when the Pickering station closes in 2024. "This will have a major impact on the region. There's no legal obligation that we be involved in giv- ing information," Jordan said. Drumm said the motion has "absolutely nothing to do with the closing. It's to ensure all the right things are done." However, Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster and Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan successfully asked that the motion be put off until there's a new council. The Regional Council meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 12 was the final meet- ing until after the Oct. 22 municipal election.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM EDITORIAL Right now in Durham Region, there are thousands of people who look to food banks as their source of a nour- ishing meal. With the soaring costs of housing and rent, not to mention the cost increases to food itself, many more are joining the ranks of those with food insecurity or, in other words, those unable to afford nutritious vfood. In the lead-up to Thanksgiving next month, Feed the Need in Durham launched its third Push Against Hunger campaign on Monday, Sept. 17 to fill the shelves in the food banks that help people in need of food throughout the region. Based in Oshawa, the organization collects, stores and distributes approximately 1.5 million pounds of food an- nually to 57 emergency food providers and five school nutrition programs across Durham Region. Feed the Need Durham handles between 135,000 to 150,000 pounds of food per month that is distributed to more than 50,000 people per year in Durham Region. The launch included Oshawa Mayor John Henry, mem- bers of regional council, members of the Durham Region- al Police Service, Region of Durham Paramedic Services, fire services and the Ontario Regiment. The campaign is meant to raise awareness, along with food and funds, in the fight against hunger in Durham. Launch day included an awareness walk where poli- ticians and first responders pushed shopping carts on a route from Oshawa to Durham Regional Headquarters in Whitby, getting food and cash donations along the route. The day also included a stop at Sobeys supermarkets in Whitby and in north Oshawa where Henry and Whitby Mayor Don Mitchell completed a shopping experience for Feed the Need. Food insecurity in Durham Region isn't going away. Sadly, it's becoming more pervasive. A 2017 study entitled Food Poverty in Durham noted 12 per cent or 78,000 resi- dents are food insecure. That's a jump from the numbers spelled out in a 2016 report from the Durham Region health department that found nine per cent of households in the region reported being food insecure. While the launch of Push Against Hunger was another success this year, all Durham residents must continue to be aware of the everyday need for food for those from all walks of life who need assistance from food banks for their daily bread. Food donations (most needed: canned fruits and veg- gies, tuna, salmon, canned pasta, baked beans, crackers, peanut butter, mac and cheese) can be dropped off direct- ly at the Feed the Need in Durham warehouse at 371a Marwood Dr. in Oshawa. Cash donations can be made online at www.feedtheneedindurham.ca. PLEASE JOIN THE PUSH AGAINST HUNGER IN DURHAM SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER AT DURHAMREGION.COM LETTERS & COMMENTARY REDUCING MAILING COSTS TO HELP MILITARY FAMILIES TO THE EDITOR: Our family is hoping to find a sympathetic ear from our MP, a newspaper editor or anyone else who will lis- ten. Our son is enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces, currently stationed and serv- ing our country at Gage- town, N.B. Every month I go to our local Canada Post office in Port Perry and send a small parcel - I call them Hugs from Home - I have come to know all of our post office employ- ees, and they say they are proud of the local young man serving Canada. They, as well as friends and family, have encouraged me to write and ask if families of those enlisted in the Canadian Forces could be granted a re- duction in postal rates. Currently, there are ar- rangements for parcels and packages at Christmastime if your loved one is deployed. Many families appreciate this gesture, and our family does take advantage of it dur- ing the holiday season. Canada is a huge country, and our loved ones, who are enlisted, can be hundreds and even thousands of kilo- metres, or even a plane ride away, from home, and these small packages can make someone far from home feel loved. It's easy to say we appreci- ate what the men and women in the Forces are doing for our country, but reducing or even eliminating the mailing costs to military families would be a tremendous good- will gesture - don't you think? DIANE COOKE PORT PERRY SEX-ED ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IN SCHOOLS To the editor: RE: 'THE LIBERAL SEX-ED CUR- RICULUM HAZARDOUS FOR OUR KIDS', LETTERS, AUG. 29 The age of puberty onset can be as early as eight in Canada. We have one of the youngest sexually active populations in the world, vulnerable to pregnancy, dis- ease and sexual predators. Waiting until our kids are in high school to teach them the facts ignores the reality of their lives. By then, they've been easily accessing sexual content via the internet and other media for years. They've likely been impacted by sexting and online bully- ing. What are your memories of "the talk" your mom or dad had with you? Relying on parents is based on the ideal of their being able to impart accurate information. Joe Prochazka's statement re- garding the risk of acquiring HIV with anal sex being "3,000 per cent higher" is a case in point. Prochazka notes that gen- der dysphoria is recognized as a disorder by the Ameri- can Psychiatric Association, and that high suicide rates are related to gender reas- signment surgery. All the more reason to address it in school, along with other mental health issues that carry similar risks to chil- dren. The term "sex-ed" is pro- voking, yet that comprises only about 10 per cent of the health and phys-ed curricu- lum. Accordingly, this is not a "political issue" for teachers' unions, but a matter that di- rectly relates to their job: Their professional duty to meet the needs of their stu- dents. Surely well-being is one such need.

At the board's Sept. 17 meet- ing, Krista Telford was named as this year's winner of the Bruce Mather Award, which honours a DDSB staff member or staff team that has made "an excep- tional contribution to the growth of others." Telford most recently taught at Forest View Public School in Oshawa, and is now working as a literacy and numeracy coach at the DDSB Education Centre. The award recognizes her work starting an Ally Activist group at her school, which saw students collect donations then go to local shelters and food banks to sort the donated items and hear personal stories. The group inspired a board- wide student voice conference, which has seen groups of stu- dents from several schools cre- ate activist groups to tackle is- sues such as bullying and LGBTQ awareness. Telford also led other initia- tives at her school including stu- dent council, the Terry Fox Run, Pink Shirt Day and STAR (Stu- dents and Teachers Against Racism).

A postal disruption could happen as early as Wednesday, Sept. 26 and that will affect all in- coming and outgoing mail for the region. If there is a disrup- tion, Durham won't send out large mailings, such as water and sani- tary sewer bills, Tele- Read cards and notices and expenditure man- agement cheques. Wa- ter and sanitary sewer bills will be delayed un- til the postal disruption has ended, with pay- ment dates adjusted ac- cordingly. DURHAM HAS PLANS IN CASE OF POSTAL DISRUPTION under 18 - the age of recruit- ment can be as young as 12 or 13. Homeless and mar- ginalized youth and Indigenous youth are often targeted, as well as youth who struggle with low self-esteem, bullying, poverty, abuse and family is- sues. Durham police say traffickers are recruit- ing girls online as well as at malls, high schools, libraries, group homes, bus stops and parties at hotels. "Some of the girls in this audience will be approached during their time in high school," Connolly told the crowd of students at Sinclair. Police liken human trafficking to "mod- ern-day slavery." Traffickers care- fully lure and groom victims, then coerce them into sex work, controlling them through psychological manipulation, threats, addiction, vio- lence and isolation. "There is a lot of misinformation about what trafficking looks like in Ontario, in Dur- ham Region. This does not look like the movie Taken," says Karly Church, who works with Victim Services of Durham Region as a human-trafficking specialist. "What it looks like is a relation- dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , S e p t e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 8 | 10 2018 Municipal Election Debate Series The Town is providing voters an opportunity to meet the candidates,share their ideas and ask questions through a special debate series.A third-party moderator has been retained to facilitate this series.In addition,the Town is working with volunteers to deliver the debates.

DURHAM - Det. Sgt. Ryan Connolly wants par- ents and teens in Durham to know that human traffick- ing isn't happening some- where else, to someone else. It's happening here. "We've seen traffickers recruiting in the Oshawa Centre food court," he says. "We have girls working out of hotels right here in Dur- ham. And we need to get that message out." This year alone, the Dur- ham Regional Police Ser- vice human trafficking unit -which Connolly heads - has conducted 80 investigations and laid more than 130 charges. In the past six months, 41 girls have been lured into human trafficking in Dur- ham. On Sept. 12, experts spoke to about 100 students at Sinclair Secondary School in Whitby, for the launch of a new website that aims to raise awareness about human trafficking. Developed by the Dur- ham Region Human Traf- ficking Coalition, the web- site outlines warning signs to watch for, myths about human trafficking, who is targeted and where to get help. "One of the main ways to fight human trafficking, is through awareness," Con- nolly says. "Parents need to be educated. Watch for the signs and keep an open dia- logue with your teens." About 75 per cent of fe- male trafficking victims are ship." She says about 85 per cent of victims identify their trafficker as their boyfriend -something parents need to keep in mind as they watch out for red flags. The Durham Region Hu- man Trafficking Coalition is made up of agencies that include Victim Services of Durham Region, SafeHope Home, the Victim Witness Assistance Program, Set Free Durham, CAREA Community Health Centre, Region of Durham Social Services, Durham Mental Health Services and Lake- ridge Health. Visit www.stopht.com to learn more. If you suspect human trafficking, contact Dur- ham Regional Police at 1- 888-579-1520 or Durham Re- gional Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-222-TIPS (8477) .

Crowded hallways, long lineups for coffee, lost students asking for directions. But inside the school's brand new Solace Centre, all was calm. The space is lit with softly glow- ing lamps and packed with any- thing a student might need to un- wind. Cosy couches, board games, yo- ga mats, meditation pillows, affir- mation cards, colouring books - even a massager and a seasonal af- fective lamp. Near the front desk is a buffet of handy items, free for the taking. Everything from sunscreen and hair elastics, to pregnancy tests and condoms, both male and fe- male. In one corner, first-year stu- dent Ianna Miller is snuggled un- der a blanket, earphones in, shoes off, watching Orange is the New Black on her laptop. "This is my paradise," she says. "I can come here and escape real- ity and relax." There is no studying allowed at the Solace Centre. Staff want students to take a pause from academics to rest, do something fun or connect with others - all things that can actually improve grades by boosting the brain's ability to retain informa- tion. "Ninety-nine per cent of the campus is for academics. This space is for wellness," says Heath- er Bickle, health promotions co-or- dinator at Durham College. And no, you don't have to be a vegetarian yogi to find solace at the Solace Centre. "Wellness is more than just kale and yoga," as Bickle likes to say. For example, a student who us- es drugs might need a safe injec- tion kit to improve wellness - something the Solace Centre will work with the AIDS Committee of Durham Region to offer. Bickle says the approach is cen- tred on prevention, helping stu- dents develop "grit" and coping strategies long before exam stress sets in or mental health issues be- come hard to manage. Plans for the space include movie screenings, regular Mon- day morning meditation sessions and visitors from the Oshawa Se- nior Citizens Centres who will share their secrets to happiness and longevity. Students can also make an ap- pointment with a wellness coach or nutritionist. Bickle says nutritionist ap- pointments have been booking up fast - especially once students learn the service isn't about diets or weight loss. Instead, the nutritionist is of- fering tips to "fuel your body for ac- ademic success." Simple things, like swapping out some daily coffee for water, can have a big impact on concentra- tion, focus and school success. Miller, the student relaxing with her laptop, says she is thrilled to have found the Solace Centre just days into her first year at Dur- ham College. "There needs to be a place you can come to get away ... from wor- rying about your problems and ev- erything going on at school.This is like a home away from home." THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STUDYING ALLOWED IN THIS ROOM AT DURHAM COLLEGE JILLIAN FOLLERT jfollert@durhamregion.com NEWS NEW SOLACE CENTRE OFFERS STUDENTS A PLACE TO BUILD 'GRIT' AND BOOST WELLNESS Hanna Gilewski, third year business marketing student and student assistant, with Heather Bickle, health promotion coordinator at Durham College's new Solace Centre. The space helps students balance well being with college life. Students can book an appointment with a wellness coach or nutritionist, attend workshops or use the space to unwind with board games, books, seasonal affective lamp and yoga mats.

"I think people are more aware of the need this time of year, because we have Thanksgiving in there and then we have the holidays," said Ben Earle, executive director of Feed the Need in Durham, on the organiza- tion's call to action ahead of its busiest season. "We get great support year round but this time of the year, people are really thinking about how they can help ... especially (be- cause) it's a time of abun- dance for lots of people. This is (when) people real- ly start to think about what's going on in their community." The third annual walk kicked off at Oshawa City Hall on Sept. 17 with local politicians, first respond- ers and other community representatives pushing shopping carts along a des- ignated route to the Region of Durham headquarters in Whitby. Food and cash donations were encour- aged during the event, which aims to build part- nerships and highlight the ongoing need for support. "This is the time of year where we have a lot of in- terest in food drives but it's also our main fundraising time," said Earle. "(It's when) we raise not only the food that helps go into the new year and fill our shelves and get us food that we can get to people, but it's also when we raise most of the funds that help us maintain the organiza- tion and the infrastructure that we've built." As the food hub for Dur- ham Region, Feed the Need supports 62 member agen- cies, including food banks, shelters and soup kitchens, with a 10,000-square-foot warehouse in Oshawa and a fleet of trucks that are used to collect and distrib- ute food. "Our role is to help maintain a consistent sup- ply to those organizations. We don't give them 100 per cent of what they need all the time but we do make sure they have a consistent supply of both perishable - so fresh produce, meat and dairy - but also non-perish- able items, on their shelves," he explained, not- ing that about 6,000 individ- uals per month are served through the network. "This time of year is when we really raise the funds and the food that helps us maintain that role throughout the course of the year." Many local businesses and organizations are also doing their part to help. So- beys in Whitby and Osha- wa held food drives last weekend in partnership with Durham Region Po- lice and the Ontario Regi- ment to support the cause. This weekend, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is hold- ing a community food drive from Bowmanville to Pick- ering with all donations go- ing to Feed the Need. Resi- dents can drop off non-per- ishable food donations on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to noon at three collec- tion centres in the church buildings at 7 Pethick St. in Bowmanville, 632 Thorn- ton Rd. N. in Oshawa, and 119 Church St. S. in Ajax. The Price of Eating Well in Durham Region, a 2016 report by the Durham Re- gion Health Department, indicated that the cost to feed a family of four locally has increased by 15 per cent since 2009 -- from $703 to $837. The report also found that nine per cent of house- holds in the region report- ed being food insecure, meaning they are worried about running out of food, have had to settle for lower quality food, or had to re- duce their food intake. "That's not necessarily people facing absolute hunger but it's people who may just not have enough food to go the whole month; people who may not have enough access to healthy, fresh food," explained Ear- le. In total over the past year, Feed the Need in Dur- ham gave out the equiva- lent of 980,000 meals through its network and that number hasn't changed much over the years, he added. "We're seeing a fairly consistent need in our community and it's differ- ent people - they cycle in and out so when we look at the client data, we know it's not always the same people." Durham's seven priori- ty neighbourhoods with the lowest income neigh- bourhoods, as identified by the health department in 2015, tend to be where the need is concentrated. Most of the organization's member agencies, for ex- ample, are in Oshawa where five of the seven pri- ority neighbourhoods are located, said Earle. Howev- er, when it comes to the types of people accessing the service, he noted that it can vary across the board. "On average, most peo- ple are going three or four times a year at those points when they just can't make ends meet and the shelves are a little bare and maybe they don't have enough fresh produce," he said. "We have members in north Durham where there are a lot of issues around getting people food in rural communities so we've got some very strong members in the north that are work- ing on that ... it's a diverse group of people who are ac- cessing food banks in Dur- ham Region, and it really could be anyone's neigh- bour, at the end of the day."

COMMUNITY THIS PAST YEAR, FEED THE NEED GAVE OUT EQUIVALENT OF 980,000 MEALS Feed the Need in Durham hosted its Push Against Hunger event, a walk to raise awareness about the need for donations across the region. The event started at Oshawa City Hall with the walk continuing on Hwy. 2 into Whitby. The entourage stopped at the Whitby Sobeys for a mayoral shopping challenge between Whitby Mayor Don Mitchell and Oshawa Mayor John Henry who shopped for groceries for a typical family of four. Ron Pietroniro/Metroland Continued from page 3 THE ISSUE: FEED THE NEED IN DURHAM MAKES PUSH FOR DONATIONS LOCAL IMPACT: NUMBER OF PEOPLE USING FOOD BANKS REMAINS CONSISTENT, BUT TYPES OF PEOPLE ACCESSING SERVICE IS CHANGING STORY BEHIND THE STORY: The Region of Durham Health Department's Build on Health in Priority Neighbourhoods, 2015, highlighted seven areas as having the lowest income levels and ranking poorly in education and unemployment: Downtown Ajax, Downtown Whitby, Lakeview - Oshawa, Gibb West - Oshawa, Downtown Oshawa, Central Park - Oshawa, Beatrice North - Oshawa. Feed the Need in Durham's executive director Ben Earle said support is focused on those areas but there's also a move toward providing not only food to people, but also healthier options for them. 13 | New s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , S e p t e m b e r 2 0 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m SAVE 20% 30% 35% 40% off Scratch ‘n SAVE SALE!

OSHAWA - The Durham police helicopter crew helped track suspects who fled officers investigating a stolen vehicle early Sun- day in Oshawa. Police discovered drugs and an imitation handgun as a result of the investiga- tion, which began when an officer spotted a pickup be- ing driven without lights on, at about 2:30 a.m. Sept. 16, near Harmony Road and Olive Street, Durham po- lice said. When the officer initiat- ed a traffic stop, the driver of the truck made a U-turn and sped south, entering the westbound lanes of Highway 401, police said. The truck exited at Thick- son Road in Whitby and was driven south in the northbound lanes. The Air 1 helicopter tracked the vehicle as it was driven to Connery Crescent in Oshawa, where three suspects emerged and ran off, police said. The helicopter assisted as po- lice on the ground found one suspect in dense brush; two others were subse- quently arrested. Micah Miller-Groat, 20, of no fixed address, faces charges including danger- ous driving and failing to stop for police, vehicle theft and marijuana possession. Charged with possession of stolen property and drug possession is 22-year-old Taylor Clark, of no fixed address. A 16-year-old Brampton youth is also charged with possession of drugs and stolen property.

That's my pre- scription for mental health. And when you live in the most beautiful country in the world, you owe it to yourself. As I write this I'm sitting on a slab of rock some 200 ki- lometres north of Sudbury, a sloping mound of pink Precambrian granite that was scraped bare by gla- ciers 10,000 years ago, and has had its toes washed by wind-rippled waves ever since. Lake water that right now is sparkling with dia- monds in the sun. A young bald eagle just flew by, no doubt the same one we spotted yesterday near the frothy pool at the foot of the rapids from the next lake. It's still getting used to its lanky wings and big feet, not to mention its squeaky adolescent voice as it calls in vain for its parents to come feed it. Mixed flocks of small songbirds - kinglets, nut- hatches, warblers - have made their way along the shoreline feeding on bugs and caterpillars in the jack pines, and Dennis heard a boreal chickadee among the common black-caps. You know you're somewhere special when they're around! Another surprise was hearing an unfamiliar short, squeaky call, then the "puk" of a black-backed woodpecker, resident of northern coniferous woods. Paddling up the west arm of the lake later we saw two of these hairy-woodpecker- sized rarities, one perched at the pointy tip of a tall black spruce, right out in the open. Yesterday after- noon, through the screen of the tent, I saw what I thought was a red squirrel leap onto our open food pack under a tree. But when I hissed to chase it off, it flew away. Swainson's thrush, maybe? At breakfast today the mystery was solved, when a family of friendly bo- real forest 'camp robbers' came to check out our site. "Grey jays!" Dennis softly exclaimed. We watched for a breathless moment before I whispered, "No, Canada jays!" The first we had seen since these hardy survivors of our long northern win- ters were officially re- named, just last January, and given back to us.

OPINION A TRIP BACK TO NATURE MAKES EVERYTHING RIGHT NATURE WRITER MARGARET CARNEY ENOYS CANOE TRIP IN NORTHERN ONTARIO MARGARET CARNEY Column AJAX - Orange Shirt Day has once again be pro- claimed in the town. It's on Sunday, Sept. 30 and it's a chance to observe and acknowledge the "strength and resilience of residential school survi- vors." Jessica Schafer, Youth Hub Collaborative director with the town's recreation, culture and community de- velopment department, said, "The town recognizes the need to have a meaning- ful conversation between Canada and its First Na- tions people. In an effort to foster a culture of respect and inclusion, the Town of Ajax encourages its resi- dents and the wider com- munity to learn about the pre- and post-Confederation history of this land." Schafer told council on Monday, Sept. 17, the resi- dential school program was designed to assimilate In- digenous children into Eu- ro-Canadian society. The schools ran from 1831 to 1996 and more than 150,000 chil- dren were forcibly removed from the homes and sent to the schools. Orange Shirt Day was named after Phyllis Web- stad, who was sent to the Saint Joseph Mission school in 1973.

With that sobering statis- tic in mind, Ajax council has declared November as Do- mestic Violence Awareness Month. Bonnie Porter, the co-or- dinator of Violence Preven- tion Coordinating Council of Durham, told council on Monday, Sept. 17 that "vio- lence against women and children is an epidemic in Ontario." Each victim "had a name, had a life and now they are gone," Porter added. About one-quarter of all calls to police are related to domestic violence, she said. "It's never OK. Never, no matter what," Porter noted. Wards 3 and 4 regional Coun. Colleen Jordan noted the statistics are "alarm- ing." Porter added the num- bers are based on women who report being abused. "Many don't." NEWS NOVEMBER PROCLAIMED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH IN AJAX DURHAM - The Dur- ham District School Board is gearing up to implement a new three-year strategic plan. The Ignite Learning plan for 2018 to 2021 was ap- proved by trustees in June. It focuses on six key pri- orities - success, well-be- ing, leadership, equity, en- gagement and innovation - and outlines a set of opera- tional goals. For example, the opera- tional goal for equity is to "promote a sense of belong- ing and increase equitable outcomes for all by identi- fying and addressing barri- ers to success and engage- ment." An implementation guide is being developed for school principals to use with staff and parents. DDSB staff will report back to trustees on plan progress in January and June 2019.

Research also suggests that vitamin D plays an im- portant role in muscle growth and function, im- mune function and athletic performance. A deficiency of vitamin D has been shown to increase the risk of stress fractures, osteopo- rosis, fatigue and muscle and joint pain. Vitamin D is often thought of as the 'sunshine vitamin' as we have a pre- cursor to vitamin D in our skin that, when exposed to the ultraviolet radiation from the sun, is converted to the active form of the vi- tamin. Anything that limits sun exposure can decrease vitamin D production. Ag- ing decreases vitamin D production by about 75 per cent by age 70, use of sun- screen decreases vitamin D production by 92 to 98 per cent. Clothing, pollution and darker skin pigmenta- tion all decrease vitamin D production and in Canada, from October until April, our ability to produce vita- min D decreases signifi- cantly. Vitamin D is found in very limited amounts in our food supply. The only natural sources of vitamin D in the Canadian food sup- ply are fatty fish and egg yolks. Vitamin D fortified foods, such as milk, milk al- ternatives (soy milk, nut- based milks) and marga- rine provide much of our vitamin D. However, because many people do not drink milk daily and, appropriately, limit their sun exposure, sub-optimal levels of vita- min D are common. In athletes, levels of vi- tamin D may vary based on season, type of sport, in- door vs. outdoor training and location. The daily requirement for vitamin D in children and adults under 70 years is 600 international units (IU) a day. For adults over 70 years, the requirement is 800 IU a day. This re- quirement is the same in athletes and non-athletes. One cup of vitamin D fortified milk provides about 100 IU of vitamin D. For athletes who do not train outdoors in the sum- mer months, consumption of vitamin D fortified foods is not likely sufficient to maintain adequate vita- min D levels. It is recommended that all adults in Canada take a vitamin D supplement year-round. Choose a sup- plement that contains Vita- min D3 in the amount of 400 to 1000 IU a day, depending on your age, sun exposure and diet. The 25-hydroxy vitamin D test is a simple blood test to monitor vitamin D lev- els. The amount of 25-hy- droxy vitamin D in your blood is a good indication of how much vitamin D your body has. In Ontario, this blood test costs $35 and must be ordered by a doc- tor. If you are unsure if you are meeting your vitamin D requirements, talk to a registered dietitian. Vita- min D recommendations can be individualized to each athlete's needs based on diet, sun exposure and blood test results. Andrea Miller is a con- sulting registered dietician who emphasizes that healthy eating should be good, nourishing and delicious.

VITAMIN D PLAYS IMPORTANT ROLE IN ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE OPINION COLUMNIST ANDREA MILLER RECOMMENDS ALL CANADIAN ADULTS TAKE SUPPLEMENT YEAR-ROUND ANDREA MILLER Column AJAX - Brandon Cook was beaten soundly but not left defeated following the biggest bout of his profes- sional boxing career Sept. 15 in Las Vegas. The 32-year old Ajax fighter, nicknamed 'Bad Boy' for his propensity to find trouble as a youth, was overmatched by rising Mexican star Jaime Mun- guia and fell early in the third round of their super welterweight title match, which is leading up to a much-anticipated middle- weight clash between Ca- nelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin at T-Mobile Are- na. Giving up three inches in height and about 15 pounds come fight time to the 21-year-old Munguia, Cook landed 13 of 66 punch- es according to Compu- Box, and Munguia landed 43 of 147 before the fight was stopped 1:03 into the third round, with Cook clearly in trouble against the ropes. A massive underdog for the fight, Cook sounded understandably sombre following his return home Monday, but said he had no plans to hang up the gloves just yet. "I've already had a cou- ple of calls, so I'm going to get back in shape, keep training and hopefully fight one more time by the end of the year," said Cook, who is currently suspend- ed by the Nevada Athletic Commission until March 15, 2019, but could have that reduced to 30 days upon proving he's healthy. "The main thing is I'm not hurt. There's not much I can say. It didn't go as planned obviously, but man is that guy ever big." Munguia, who has now twice defended his World Boxing Organization (WBO) title, improved to 31-0 with 26 knockouts, while Cook dropped to 20-2 in his pro career. Both fighters met the 154-pound weight require- ment the day before the fight, but while Cook - who weighs in on the day of the fight in Ontario - gained back 10 pounds before step- ping into the ring, Mun- guia packed on close to 25. "His body looked so dif- ferent on fight night com- pared to the day before," said Cook. "You couldn't even see his abs when we were about to fight. The day before, you could see everything." Munguia was in control of the fight from start to finish, backing Cook up several times and landing most of his blows to the body. One punch to the hip area in the second round left a massive bruise on Cook's body and will re- quire an X-ray before Cook will be allowed to fight again. "The guy hits hard, man," said Cook, who did not dispute the decision to stop the fight. "I don't think I've ever been hit that hard before." His own fight aside, Cook had a fantastic time in Las Vegas, and sat four rows from the ring for the big fight, a majority deci- sion victory for Alvarez be- fore a sellout crowd of 21,965. "It was an amazing ex- perience," said Cook, who sat amid several entertain- ment stars. "Just to be there for the friggin' card was amazing, just to see how many people actually came out to watch this event." Cook treated himself to a meal that included spa- ghetti and meatballs, a piz- za slice and a slushie after the fight, but says he will get right back into training this week with the hope of being ready to step into the ring again soon. There's an event sched- uled for December at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre in Mississauga, for- merly known as the Her- shey Centre, which has been the site of 15 of his pro fights to date. "My name is out there again, so someone is going to call me up," he said. "I'm not just going to quit be- cause I lost again. It hap- pens. Like I've always said, the only way I'd quit is if I get knocked out cold."

Hunt is confident the team will be deep at every po- sition once all the players have returned from their NHL camps, which should create a competitive environ- ment, not just to make the team, but to find ice time. Without seven key play- ers in the exhibition finale Sunday, Sept. 16, the Gener- als were led by 2018 draft picks Dylan Robinson and Tyler Tullio in a 4-1 win over the Peterborough Petes at Scugog Arena, finishing off a 3-0-0-1 pre-season. Contributions from them and other newcomers Danyk Drouin, Matthieu Franche and Nando Eggenberger, who scored his fourth pre- season goal Sunday, simply adds to the depth, says Hunt. "Our young guys through camp and through four exhi- bition games have proven to me and to us that they're go- ing to be able to play and con- tribute and handle an OHL workload," he said. "It's a much better feeling looking at your players than looking for them. Through the strength of our scouting and our drafts, we've got a lot of depth here and certainly I'd rather have to make these de- cisions than a decision to have to sign a player just to get him in." The most difficult call will likely still revolve around overage (OA) play- ers, even after trading away defenceman Sean Allen to the Windsor Spitfires on Monday. The good news there is there's no rush. Although teams can only dress three OAs in a game, they can car- ry five on the roster until mid-November and four un- til early-January. It's likely centre Domeni- co Commisso and defence- man Matt Brassard - who's expected to return from an injury in October - have two of the OA spots locked up, leaving the other between forward Eric Henderson and goalie Cole Ceci, who have both played well in the pre- season. With No. 1 goalie Kyle Keyser expected to be back from the Boston Bruins camp in time for the Sept. 21 season opener, it's probable the Generals will carry three goalies through the early part of the season while de- ciding between Ceci and Ma- rio Peccia for the backup job. "There are still some deci- sions to be made but we've got a little bit of time," said Hunt, who has six days be- fore the team's second game in North Bay. "With that one- game weekend, we don't re- ally have to rush into things. And, probably past this weekend coming, we should know if we've got everybody back." Hunt expects to have all hands back on deck eventu- ally, although not likely cap- tain Jack Studnicka for the opener, as he has travelled with the Bruins to China for a pair of exhibition games, including one on Sept. 19. In addition to Studnicka and Keyser, who did not travel with the team overseas, Ser- ron Noel, Giovanni Vallati, Nico Gross, Allan McShane, Kyle MacLean and Eggen- berger all had a taste of NHL camps. "I'm fairly confident that all the guys will all be back," Hunt said. "We've got some good players here. Now it's an opportunity for them to become a good team, and to be a good team, there's a lot of growing pains." The Generals start with three road games before making their season debut at the Tribute Communities Centre, Sunday, Sept. 30 against the North Bay Bat- talion, a 6:05 p.m. start.

Suffering from arthri- tis, epilepsy, post-traumat- ic stress disorder and man- ic depression, Ireland had put on more than 250 pounds in a three-month stretch in 2001 and as of eight months ago weighed 494 pounds. But after moving away briefly to Hamilton, the 48- year-old Port Perry native finally turned a corner and realized where his heart belonged and how he was best able to bring it back home. "That was actually the best move I did at the time because I was able to refind myself, get myself better mentally, and realize it was time for me to lose the weight," explained Ireland, who now lives in Whitby, has lost 80 pounds and re- joined the Ajax Dodgers softball team last spring. "For eight months, my heart had been telling me to move back to the Dur- ham Region, so I finally got in contact with (coach) Chris May and told him I wanted to come back, and he welcomed me with open arms." Celebrating its 50th an- niversary year, Special Olympics offers a safe haven for more than five million athletes with intel- lectual disabilities world- wide, including nearly 50,000 in Canada. Ireland started playing softball with May about 20 years ago, not long after his father had died, and has al- so played floor hockey, bas- ketball and bowling with the Special Olympics pro- gram. The weight gain was caused by emotional eat- ing, explained Ireland, who took strongly to fast food as a way to deal with severe depression. "At one time, that used to be my best friend, but then I learned how to stop using that and start mak- ing proper, homemade foods," said Ireland, who now also exercises when he is able. "Since then, the weight has started to come off drastically." Standing just over six- foot-one in height, Ireland plans to gradually lose 170 more pounds and return to the other sports he once en- joyed. In softball this sum- mer, he primarily pitched and did some hitting, but still didn't feel comfortable running the bases despite vastly improved mobility. "My goal is, whatever sport I play in, get to na- tionals and get to worlds, and not just stop there, but keep getting back to worlds as much as I can," Ireland said, referring to the World Games held every other year. "It's just been amaz- ing since I did transforma- tion of working on myself and getting myself better mentally because that turned into the weight loss, then the weight loss turned into more confidence, more confidence turned in- to more weight loss and it just kept on pointing in the proper direction." May first became in- volved with Special Olym- pics through his daughter Ashley, who began figure skating at age nine and, now 29, still competes in track and field, soccer, soft- ball, bowling and swim- ming. Although his rela- tionship with Ireland has had its share of ups and downs, he said the entire team welcomed him back with enthusiasm when he returned with a new atti- tude. "He knows that he's pro- tected here when it comes to the coaches that are in- volved with the program," May said. "We have a very strict rule: there is just ab- solutely no I in team." Ireland explained that Special Olympics, to him, goes even beyond that. "To me, this is my fami- ly," he said. "I do have fami- ly, but to me this is my fam- ily because we're such a close-knit group."

"I worked so hard on this for so long," he said. "I crossed all the Ts and did something right." The record hit No. 1 in Canada and No. 3 in the U.S., he noted, and Good- wyn is bringing his blues band to Ajax's St. Francis Centre on Sept. 28. Goodwyn said that about a decade ago he had a health scare and "kind of saw things in a different light." He had always harboured a love of the blues and began writing songs for a record. "It was a slow process; I never felt like I needed to hurry," he said. Goodwyn admitted he's not a blues musician. So what makes a good blues song? "It has to have great lyrics - that's the bottom line," he said. "And a lot of times the music is secondary." "For me, it was about writing great lyrics." Goodwyn said he "laboured over ev- ery phrase" on every song. And then he needed some seasoned musicians to play the music, so he started to sur- round himself with blues guys, includ- ing guitarist Jack de Keyzer, of Cla- rington, Amos Garrett and Kenny (Blues Boss) Wayne. April Wine is still a going concern, but, Goodwyn said, a while ago he ap- proached the other band members and told them he was going to cut the band's touring schedule in half. "And all of a sudden, I feel really good about things," he said. "There's room for me to stretch artistically." Goodwyn said April Wine remains "very, very important to me." But he wanted to do other things, as well, in- cluding writing his memoir, Just Be- tween You and Me. A second book, with a wild concept, Elvis and Tiger, came out earlier this year. He has other musical projects, as well. And then there was the blues record. Work on a second blues album has passed the halfway point, he said. You can get the record online at www.amazon.ca, in music stores and even at Walmart, Goodwyn says. Tickets for the Ajax concert are $79.10.

And Durham's music community will come to- gether on Sept. 23 to cele- brate the life of Oshawa singer Ilse Themen and raise funds to support her husband, Marty, and son Reece. Themen, who played in the band Tamin' Thunder, died of cancer on Sept. 4 in Mexico, where she had sought alternative treat- ment. "We got to be pretty close," says Tamin' Thun- der guitarist Randall Johnson Chung of Ajax, adding he referred to The- men as "my sister" and she called him her broth- er. Chung performed reg- ularly with Themen for around three years and while he has performed with a lot of people, he said he liked playing mu- sic with her best. "She called herself a people person," he says. "She would talk to every- body. She was always friendly and always smil- ing." Chung says Themen had been singing for a long time and was "a very strong personality, a strong presence on stage." While she knew what she wanted musically, he says Themen was no diva but was always pleasant. T hemen loved to sing Janis Joplin and Tina Turner songs, he says, adding she used to do a regular Whitby Houston tribute and was asked to do it from time to time. Chung says Themen and her family had moved to Oshawa from Whitby about a year ago. Before that, she lived in the Pick- ering/Rouge area. Tamin' Thunder had a monthly gig at The Edge in Ajax and Chung says the owner was very fond of Themen. As a result, he wants to have a concert there as well and Chung says it is slated for a Sun- day in October. T he Angels for Ilse Oshawa fundraising con- cert will be a full day of bands, with the doors opening at noon and the music playing to 11 p.m. or a bit later at the Oshawa Music Hall, 39 King St. E. Performing at the con- cert are: Tamin' Thunder, Aerosol X, the House Call, Two for the Show, Moxy - featuring Nicholas Walsh, Harem Scarem, the Spit- fire Kings, Ayden and An- dy, WRT (Whiskey Rose Tribute to Whitesnake), the Bomb and the Kings. Gord Deppe and Sandy Horne of the Spoons are making a special guest ap- pearance. The all-ages event also features door prizes, raf- fles, two 50/50 draws and a silent auction. Tickets are $20, with all proceeds being donated to Marty and Reece. You can get them at the door or on- line at www.ticket- scene.ca/events/22046/. Chung also directed people to a fundraising Go Fund Me page, www.go- fundme.com/help-ilse- beat-cancer. He notes that when all expenses are considered, Themen's trip, treatment and care in Mexico cost roughly $60,000. The visitation for The- men will be held on Sept. 20 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the DeStefano Funeral Home, 1289 Keith Ross Dr., Oshawa. The funeral service is in the DeStefano chapel on the same day at 3:30 p.m. MUSIC IN OSHAWA TO BENEFIT ILSE THEMEN'S FAMILY MIKE RUTA MRuta@durhamregion.com WHAT’S ON A Sept. 23 concert at the Music Hall in Oshawa is to benefit the family of Durham singer Ilse Themen, who died in Mexico on Sept. 4 while seeking treatment for cancer.

"For those artists looking for a home for their creativi- ty, our club offers a relaxed, casual atmosphere for art- ists of all experience levels to paint together, learn from each other and find inspira- tion," Johnson says.

"Last night was so incredibly special... to be hon- est, I was still riding the high from last year coming into this weekend... to even be nominated again was amazing." "I am so proud to represent women in Canadian country mu- sic. Thank you to everyone who gave me their vote... this past year has had many highs but also some lows and tough lessons learned... thank you for believing in me, and giving me the encour- agement to push through the tough times."
