‘SEE YOU IN COURT’

‘SEE YOU IN COURT’
    I do not understand it.   I put my name in the race for Mayor of Oshawa out of duty and service.  I do not need the job as I have one.  As the editor and publisher of our community newspaper.  I have heard from many of you about  the things that need improvement  in Oshawa.   From taxation to public safety and every thing in between.  I am not a politician. I am a hard working business person.  Someone that values a hard earned dollar and knows first hand what 12 - 14 hours work days are all about. 
I share with you the hardships and economic restrictions that keep us showing up at the work place day in and day out.
For the past 20 years I have seen our city on the decline.  We live on one of the most beautiful cities in Ontario.  A city that has great potential.  Yet, we are southern Ontario’s best kept secret.   We have lost are way.  We have been governed by administrator and not visionaries and or business people.
In today’s multi million dollars corporate municipal environments.  Holding the line just does not do it.   We need to engage in change.  We need to truly care about our people.   Not like my  fellow candidate Dan Carter and attack just  because someone does not agree with you or has a different opinion.   As you read by now.  After the most recent debate.  Carter publicly attacked me after I approach him to kind of condole him for in my opinion the barrage of attacks he was taking from fellow candidates. 
Carter turns to me and says to me ‘SEE YOU IN COURT’.   I was a little surprised.  Why would he take me to court?  If I had done something to offend him one would have thought he would have wanted to set up a meeting discuss it.   NO. He attacked me.  I can understand he was flustered as he was constantly being thrown off his game.  Still that does not given him the excuse to attack.   Is this how he will respond once he is mayor?   Is this a good quality to have as a community leader?
Personally if someone has done something against me.  The last thing I would consider is a legal challenge.   A smart business person knows. You get more out of negotiation then you do out of litigation.   Case in point.  City of Oshawa vs Durham Region.   Instead of prolonging it and negotiate a settlement with the Region.   Mayor Henry in an attempt to gain points with the Region.   Settles weeks before he announces his candidacy for Regional Chair.
Now we the people are stuck with 9 million dollars and about 1.5 million in lawyers fees.
Is this good governance?  
No wonder we have sat dormant for 20 years.  Our elected officials appear to be out for themselves and utilizing our resources to up their careers.
Look at Carter and his action.  Instead of negotiating and discussing indifference.  He threatens to run to his lawyer... Like really.   Is he not aware that by filling a claim against one. It is the quickest way to have a counter claim filed against you.  
Are legal challenges the way to settle indifference?
I put my name to do good for this city.  I put my name not to go after people.  I put my name to help build our downtown not threaten their pocket books with frivolous law suits.
I am a grown man.  I only become offended by something if it is true.  If there is no truth to the allegation.  I walk away and do not become concerned with hearsay and ignorance.
Carter if you feel so damaged and hurt... meet with me and at the least let me know why.
I feel I been victimized and  as a victim it is hard to understand the aggressor if you do not understand what you have done wrong.
I think if anything Carter’s actions are abusive.   Abusive from the point of view that he attempted to intimidate as he is a city councillor.   Intimidate as he has the independent wealth to file a claim for unknown reasons against me.  Or is Carter going to free load and use city legal department to draft his paper work and make us the taxpayers file on his behalf?
I sometimes get penalized for asking key questions.  Questions that many don’t want asked.
As a responsible member of our community it is my duty to find the truths that are  hidden from us.
Much like why do we pay such high hydro bills?  The rates are low but the surcharges kills us. Why do grandfathered properties pay such high property taxes.  Should we not be rewarding home owners that have been part of our community for over 30 years.   Should we not do more to address the ever ending problem of addiction, homelessness and those in need?
Should we not be more worried about the creation of jobs for our graduating students from High School, College and University?
Should we not be putting our minds to finding way to attract major developers and opportunity to Oshawa?
NO INSTEAD IT APPEARS THAT CARTER IS MORE CONCERN OVER ATTACKING
CITIZENS WITH THREATS OF LAW SUITS.
Is this the kind of leadership we need?  We want?  Or we need?
On October 22nd we are all going to be faced with some serious choices.   Do we vote the status quo in and expect 3 - 7% property tax increases to offset bad decisions like the THREATENING OF LAW SUITS.   Or even worst. Wasteful expenditures as Mr. Carter and his council are guilty of doing?
My Oshawa is not about going after people but about bringing people together.  Bringing opportunity by utilizing our resources to attack developers, investors and most importantly industry and trade.
We have a lake front/air port/downtown/ that will never be developed under the current status quo.  Investors will not come and have to deal with the red tape.  With council made up of under qualified individuals in the field of investment and or economic development.  Individuals that are easily influenced by public opinion and rely on consultants.   Council members like Carter that when confused and cornered run for legal council instead of resolve.
WE NEED VISIONARIES AND TRUE COMMUNITY LEADERS.  Leaders with a back bone to stand against the winds of adversity and the perseverance to over come adversity at all costs.
Community leaders with a proven success in business and service.
I have served our community for over 20 years as your community newspaper editor and publisher.  I have served in just about every service group in our community.  I have initiated the downtown INGINO initiative in order to stimulate growth, traffic and interest in our core.
I know Oshawa.  I have a proven record of leadership with a no nonsense approach that yields optimal results.
We are at the even of further change.  From the marijuana legislaltion to affordable housing.  We need to address the never ending population growth in our region.  We must invest in preparing with a solid plan of action.  A plan of action that will include proper execution of stages in order to achieve the bigger goal.
A goal that will transform us from being dependent on GM. To finally be able to once again stand tall in trade, industry and commerce.  
A Plan that will takes us from the  1920’s we are today to the global stage.  A transformation like never before.  Opportunity like never seen before.  Now is the time to act.  There is nothing in it for me but the knowledge that I be in part responsible for making history in the transformation of this great city in to a global beacon for future generations to follow. 
Please be part of Oshawa future on October 22, 2018

“AWAKENING OSHAWA’S GREAT POTENTIAL”

Logic
By Joe Ingino
Editor/Publisher

“I live a dream in a nightmare world”
  
“AWAKENING OSHAWA’S
GREAT POTENTIAL”
    Oshawa is a City with great potential.  Oshawa the crown jewel of Durham has always been the envy of neighboring municipalities for decades. A giant among smaller neighboring municipalities.  A giant that has sat dormant for to long.  A giant that need and will be awaken into a giant of opportunity for all.  
GM made Oshawa great.  It created opportunity and jobs.  Unfortunately, GM is not what it was.   Corporate Canada has changed due to technology.  As technology has forced us to enter and operate in a global theatre.     An environment that is mandated by the bottom line.  Corporate pride has been compromised.  The integrity of workmanship has shifted and today robotics replace good old fashion engineering.    Line work has become a commodity that can be shifted and moved around. 
This shift, has unfortunately cause Oshawa jobs and economic stature.   Today’s Oshawa is hurting.  We are a small town mentality running a what should be a world class city.   Our Oshawa has the potential but not the drive and or intellect to drive it out of it’s economy quick sand.
Our City Staff include some great minds and intellect within their professional disciplines.  Unfortunately due to poor leadership or lack of leadership.   City staff must rely on policy as a guideline to hold the corporate line.   For this reason nothing gets done... and it from red tape to committee back to council only to be referred back to staff.
We have a city council that lacks vision and direction.   We have council members that have no world experience in the fields of investment, development, finance, industry, trade and commerce.  Then how is it that we as taxpayers expect them to bring world class opportunities to our doors?
One of my first meetings will be with city staff.   To assure them that they shall not fear job loss for taking chances and making positive decisions.   To contribute to the process without fear.
I as the new Mayor will be the CEO of the corporation and will take personal responsibility for any of the City employees decision.  I entrust that they have the expertise and knowledge to expedite and cut red tape.  Together we will bring the city back to the people.
No more freedom of information requests for simple and easy to access information.  This has been the complaint of many.   We need to open the books, open the doors and return city hall to tax payers.
From the days of Nancy Diamond.  Diamond a top notch administrator with vast knowledge of staff and political infrastructure.   She was not a visionary or true community leader as her biggest job was to hold the political and social line.   Her approach towards the community is ‘make no ripples in the water’ and the people will love you.   Diamond was a political dynamo in that she manipulated her environment like no other.   When John Gray defeated her, people thought there would be change. Unfortunately, Gray was no leader.  He was another Diamond in the rough.   A person that sat through council with little or no affect in changing Oshawa.  The Nicholson/Gray team had reached it’s peak.  Gray, plagued by controversy.  From the camaro purchase to the building of the GM Center using OPUC money.   He had to go.  Then the people of Oshawa made the same mistake and swapped another ‘status quo’ member (council).   John Henry.  A city councillor and moved him up to Mayor.   The same disastrous outcome.  HAVE WE NOT LEARNED.  We can’t be pulling the same tools from the same tool box when it has shown time and time again that these tools are not getting the job done.
Now in 2018, we have Carter.   One of the biggest tools we ever elected to office attempting to move up in pay.   This is all it is.   I say this with such conviction because... what has he done for the people of Oshawa in his four years?   Look at downtown.  Look at the only store front he is able to secure a campaign sign.   AN EMPTY FOR LEASE UNIT.    Really this is leadership?  This is what Oshawa needs?
In a public appearance Dan Carter made it public how he recollected his first week as a councillor.  How lost he was.  How he turned to Nancy Diamond and confided in her that, and this is in his own words, “NANCY I  THINK I MADE A MISTAKE AND DON’T THINK I AM CUT OUT FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK”.   According to Carter.  Nancy turned to him and said, “I want you to go home kiss your wife on the cheek.  Come back tomorrow and tackle this with intent”.  What this meant was Nancy just gave birth to another of her rookie council ‘YES MEN’.      Even though Henry was mayor.  Nancy Diamond and Nester Pidwerbecki ran the show.
The question now is he fit to be Oshawa next mayor?  According to his own admission he also suffers from a learning disability.  Is he able to go through all the material that is required in order to run a city?
Some have speculated that this in part is why Henry endorsed his buddy in crime Dan Carter.
Henry weeks before his announcement to run for Regional Chair, settled a 10 million dollar pending law suit with the Region.  This was quickly expedited.   Could it be that Henry wanted to look good before the Region.  Could it be that once again Henry sold out Oshawa tax payers for his own personal gain?  The people of Oshawa are now on the hook for 10 million and 1.4 million of legal fees to the Region.  THANK YOU HENRY.
Could this be why Henry endorsed Carter...  Thinking he would use Carter name and voter following to win the region and in turn knowing that Carter was not mentally able to run the city to run the city from the region?
Interesting speculation.   The bigger questions is.. are the people of Oshawa that stupid to fall for it again.   To draw a tool from the same tool box to rebuild our City.  When it has proven time and time again that we need a new tool box.   A new vision and leadership.
Under and INGINO administration.   Red tape will be gone.  Access to information and procedure will be the new Oshawa.  Open door policy to my office and council will be job one.
My goal and primary function will not be to run the administration, as we have staff to do that. My goal and primary function will be to open the doors of prosperity and opportunity.   To search find and bring to Oshawa partnerships from all levels of government, industry, trade and commerce.   I will entrust all staff when given an task that they will executed quick and to the best of their knowledge.
No more waste, No more consultants.  No more us against them.  We will act as one corporate body on one corporate mission.  Save taxpayers money.  Stabilize taxation.  Make what is good about Oshawa better and what is better world class.
We will not cut corners when it comes to safety, security and assurance that all citizens are guaranteed the basic living needs.   We must assure that everyone has access to services and systems that are essential to quality of life.
We will open our ears to ideas in the community that have in the past been shun and or silenced.   
The time for change is now.  The time for opportunity has never been better.   Think of your children, grand children.  Do they not deserve opportunity, security and good paying jobs.
In 2018 you can vote Carter and endure tax increases, the usual statistical dribble and a fake smile.  Or you can vote for real change and a new Oshawa. It is up to you.
In 2018 vote INGINO.

Natural Remedies and Illogical Attacks

Natural Remedies and Illogical Attacks
          Break a law and you end up in jail. “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” it’s said. So should ignorance of medical facts excuse anyone? Time and time again so-called medical experts publish illogical reports without repercussion. Recently, a physician stated publicly, “There is no case for vitamin supplementation in normal, healthy, non-pregnant adults who are receiving the recommended daily intake of nutrients”. But is this medical fact or fiction?

          Bill Sardi, a commentator on health issues, takes issue with this statement in the well-respected publication, Orthomolecular News Service.

          The doctor offered so-called proof of his statement that serious toxicity occurred in Arctic explorers who consumed the liver of bears, which is rich in Vitamin A. This caused increased pressure in their brain, vomiting, double vision, and convulsions.

          But Sardi explains that bear’s liver contains millions of international units (IU) of vitamin A. So obviously humans should not eat bear’s liver. The Council for Responsible Nutrition adds it would take 25,000 to 50,000 IU of vitamin A supplement daily for several months to cause liver problems. So why worry patients when taking the normal dose of 5,000 to 10,000 IU daily has a long history of safety?

          The same doctor wrote that vitamin D is not needed, unless there is clinical   indication for it. This, in spite of the fact that an Institute of Medicine report indicates that 25 percent of North Americans are at risk of vitamin D deficiency.

          Office workers get limited sun exposure. And a study showed that children only receive 7 hours of sunshine a week. Moreover, during winter months, due to the angle of the sun’s rays, it provides zero amount of vitamin D, even if people were to stand out naked in the noon day sun.

          What borders on insanity is another statement that the daily amount of vitamin C should not exceed 45 milligrams daily. I wonder where this critic has been hiding for so many years. We know as proven fact that, eons ago, a human gene mutation stopped the human production of vitamin C. Animals, with the exception of the guinea pig, were fortunate and escaped this mutation. Dogs, for instance, manufacture 5,000 mg of C daily. But should a dog develop an infection, or be injured, it will manufacture up to 100,000 mg daily!

          I find it amazing that this critic has not heard that several hundred thousand milligrams of intravenous vitamin C saved the life of a New Zealand farmer dying of Swine Flu virus. Moreover, it is well documented that Dr Frederick Klenner, a U.S. family doctor, saved 60 polio patients from developing paralysis during the 1948 epidemic of this disease by prescribing intravenous C.

          Today, in spite of these historical facts, it’s appalling that many physicians still do not know that polio, meningitis, encephalitis, other viral diseases, and even the bite of a rattlesnake, can be cured by large intravenous doses of vitamin C.

          What I am writing about is not science fiction. It’s a fact that a pill containing 500 mg of C is not going to protect you if faced with devastating infection, severe emotional stress, or major surgery. These problems immediately decrease the reservoir of vitamin C in the blood. In these situations 10,000 to 20,000 mg of oral C daily are required to restore blood levels. And since C is water soluble, and lost in the urine, this amount should be taken in three divided doses.

          Sardi’s article points out that 100 million diabetics in North America have a greater need for vitamin C. So do 50 million Aspirin users and millions that still smoke, abuse alcohol, or take drugs, such as diuretics that deplete blood levels of vitamin C.           

          Sardi adds that hospitalized and nursing home patients all require additional vitamin C. And an often neglected point, so do growing children. Sardi concludes that out of a U.S. population of 325 million, 200 million have inadequate amounts of vitamin C and must rely on vitamin supplements. Medi-C Plus and other forms of high-powered C can be obtained at Health Food Stores.

          Ignorance of medical facts, even by physicians, continues to be a stubborn enemy of truthful therapy. These facts must be repeated until everyone listens.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
not the actual problem?
   Have you been told you have IBS by your general practitioner? I was there, and it was HELLA frustrating because GPs diagnose you with this only when they actually have NO clue what’s going on (basically once they’ve ruled out that you don’t have celiac disease). Sad but true. This can be extremely frustrating when you're looking for answers and treatment to this inconvenient and often debilitating problem, which I should be clear, is NOT a ‘normal’ part of life. .
Understanding the ROOT CAUSE of WHYyour bowel is so irritated is the only way to find relief.
So I wanted to share with you what worked for me, and what common triggers (root causes) of irritable bowel are:
1. You have an underlying food SENSITIVITY.It is important to know there is a difference between a true allergy (IgE immune-mediated) vs a sensitivity IgG immune-mediated). Both cause inflammation and damage in the body, but a sensitivity IgG response is DELAYED vs. Immediate, such as in a true allergy or an anaphylaxis response.
For me, I removed gluten and it was LIFE CHANGING. See a Naturopathic doctor for a food sensitivity test, not a GP.
2. Imbalance of gut flora.You have an overgrowth of bad bacteria and yeast (Candida) and lack beneficial bacteria. This is a HUGE culprit. Excess bad bacteria worsen cramps, pain, diarrhea and bloating. Get yourself on a high quality probiotic, avoid antibiotics, BC pill and eat the rainbow! (No processed Sh*t)
3. STRESS. Don’t underestimate the impact of stress in relation to your gut. There are more nerve cells in your gut than almost anywhere else in the body. The gut is actually now referred to by scientists as “the second brain”. Try to meditate, exercise, or find lifestyle changes you can make to reduce stress in your life.
Special considerations:
Work with a wellness professional such as myself to identify your symptomatology in relation to the possibility of a food sensitivity, imbalance in gut flora, and to identify the health of your adrenals. I also have an Ebook BIKINI BOD BEAT THE BLOAT - created entirely for you, Digestive Health suffers. visit www.marissaliana.com under the SHOP tab to learn more!

A Painful Lesson

A Painful Lesson
     I have a weird situation that has me totally perplexed. I met this guy at a club. He approached me and we hung out the rest of the night. He was really funny, and I felt comfortable with him. He took my number and called me that very night to make sure I was home okay.
We proceeded to date for a month. Everything was nice. It did move fast, but we seemed to really hit it off. He would call and tell me he missed me, he gave me cards and would say things like, “You are the type of woman I would like to come home to.”
One day I decided to tell him I really liked him, and I really enjoy the time we spend together. Things went downhill from there. He said he didn’t want a girlfriend and he didn’t want to be “tied down.” He got out of a pretty strained relationship eight months ago with the mother of his child.
My problem is he totally freaked out. I am not sure if he just changed his mind about me and found someone else, or if he is just scared. During one of our conversations, I asked him point blank, “So you are saying you don’t want to see me anymore?”
He said that was not what he was saying. I haven’t heard from him in a week. I don’t have any desire to force myself on someone who doesn’t want me. Options? Advice?
Avery

Avery, there is something to be said for cheesy pickup lines. When a guy sidles up to you at a club and says, “heaven is missing an angel tonight,” it’s an icebreaker. It’s funny, corny, and an invitation to talk.
But when a man acts like the male lead in a romance novel, it pays to put your guard up. This man sent you cards and phoned to say he missed you. He said you are the woman he wants to come home to. That’s about as close as a man can come to a proposal without saying the words.
They were just words, but what power they had over you. When he called to see if you got home safely, you saw it as gallantry. But a call costs nothing. He may have called simply to make sure he hadn’t gotten a fake number.
To your credit, you spoke directly to what he made you feel. Many women don’t do that. They won’t take a chance on bursting their bubble. At least he was honest. In effect he said, “No, I don’t want a girlfriend, and no, I don’t want to stop having sex with you.”
Wayne once worked for a company with a super salesman. This man was a master of the silent close. When he went for the sale, he would go completely silent. The technique worked because silence creates an awkward pause most people rush to fill with conciliatory words. Typically, the first one to speak loses.
He hasn’t contacted you for a week. He is not going to contact you. If you contact him, you have accepted his offer to be a sex buddy, not a girlfriend.
One of our early life lessons is about the birds and the bees. That story is mostly about the mechanics of sex. There is a deeper part to that lesson, one which involves the intersection of love and sex. That’s the part which is missing with this man.
