Marianne Hyatt and Rebecca Everaert from Opening Doors, a Mental Health and Inclusion program offered in Sarnia at the West Lambton Community Health Centre and in Forest for rural clients at the North Lambton Community Health Centre organized soup lunches at both locations this week to raise money for the United Way of Sarnia-Lambton. The United Way funds Opening Doors $30,000 in each location and has measurable success in improving their clients mental health by promoting healthy life style choices and decreasing isolation.

The United Way has reached the 65 per cent mark of its 2019 $1.9-million Needs Target, with just five weeks remaining in the campaign.

The United Way campaign runs until Dec. 31, the end of each tax year.

Traditionally, we have always processed donations and put them into the campaign year in which they were received, said Vicky Ducharme, the 2019 campaign chair. Any donations that are received in January will go to the 2020 campaign.

The current campaign continues to lag last year, but we are grateful to both Shell Canada employees and retirees, and Worley and employees for boosting us to this level.

Ducharme said the campaign still has many employee campaigns running, including some very large industrial campaigns.

I want to remind Nova Chemicals retirees that they have until the end of next week to have their contributions matched by Nova.

She said all donors can either give online at http://www.theunitedway.on.ca, or call the office at 519 336-5452.

Pembina just wrapped up its campaign and reached its internal campaign goal. Pembina matched all employee donations, plus special events. Pembina held thitsir Corn Hole Tournament in August and followed it up last week with a raffle featuring a gift certificate from Bluewater Beef, and other prizes that raised more than $8,000.

Many of the United Way agencies also hold fundraising events to support the campaign, including an employee campaign.

Ducharme said the Opening Doors Program is provided by North Lambton Community Health Centre and the West Lambton Community Health Centre. It is funded by the United Way.

Opening Doors is a very successful program assisting adults with various mental-health needs, she said. It decreases isolation through many programs geared towards inclusion and healthy lifestyles. Cooking classes, gardening, and exercise programs are all part of the programming at each location.

This week, a United Way Soup luncheon was held in Sarnia and in Forest to raise money for the United Way of Sarnia-Lambton, said Ducharme.

New Beginnings, ABI and the Stroke Recovery Association held a spaghetti fundraiser on Friday in support of the United Way at their facility on Indian Road. New Beginnings, ABI and Stroke Recovery run effective programs geared to help those who have had a stroke or suffered a brain injury, including programs aimed to regain some or all of the individuals mobility.

Meanwhile, Transport Canada and Canada Border Services continue to run events as well as part of their employee campaigns. Transport Canada held a potluck lunch on Wednesday, and CBSA held a chili lunch on Thursday.

SNC Lavalin held a potluck to support the United Way on Thursday. SNC will match all employees contributions as well.

Local banks and credit unions have just started their employee United Way fundraising campaigns and they will run until mid-December.

Space is still available for the United Way Drewlo Stairclimb on Giving Tuesday slated for Dec. 3. To register, call 519-336-5452.

Gender, as both a means of identification and a sociological construct, is constantly evolving. The traditional two gender system has been supplanted by an expanding lexicon that includes nonconforming terms such as genderqueer, gender fluid and non-binary. In order to mitigate misgendering, it is now common in diverse workplaces to include in ones email signature preferred gender pronouns, such as he/him/his, she/her/hers or the gender-neutral, they/them/theirs.

Whereas differential treatment by gender is illegal in many domains, such as medical care, employment and education, sports remains one of the few areas in which it is legal, and in fact necessary, to differentiate between males and females, consequently creating an international bioethics controversy.

Most recently, the controversy surrounds South African Olympic athlete Caster Semenya, who holds two 800-meter Olympic titles and three world titles. Semenya was born and raised as a female, as she has external female sexual characteristics and identifies as cisgender. Yet, after being forced to undergo sex-determination testing following her 2009 Berlin victory, Semenya was diagnosed with 46, XY disorder of sex development (DSD), a congenital condition in which her chromosomal makeup is XY, the normal male chromosomal pattern, yet her external anatomical development is typical of a female. Individuals with DSDs are often referred to as intersex, and conditions such as 46, XY DSD, in which a persons reproductive anatomy or appearance is not consistent with their 23rd chromosomal pair, are termed sex reversal.

In April 2018, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) issued new eligibility regulations for female athletes with DSDs, requiring them to reduce their blood testosterone levels to below 5 nMol/L which the IAAF considers the upper limit of natural female levels in order to be allowed to compete in certain female events. They were advised to do so via hormone therapy. Although the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld the IAAF regulations in an Executive Summary they released this past May, Semenya refuses to take any hormone-suppressing drugs and continues to contest the decision in court.

According to CASs report, both parties agree on the necessity of gender division in sports, as there is a substantial difference in elite sports performance between males and females. This assumption is the basis of separate mens and womens teams in every athletic level, from Little League to the Olympics, and it is at the heart of the historically-famous Battle of the Sexes tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.

However, the ethical issue surrounding CASs controversial policy hinges on the acceptability of using testosterone levels as the determining metric for gender categorization in DSD athletes. While varying levels of testosterone contribute to the differential performance of males and females in sports such that testosterone contributes to the power and size of skeletal muscle and the number of red blood cells the degree to which elevated testosterone levels confer a significant competitive edge is a matter of scientific debate.

Proponents of the CAS ruling err on the side of caution: although the decision may be discriminatory to DSD athletes, as it bans them from competing in events based on a congenital condition that is beyond their control, it ensures athletic fairness and preserves the original purpose of gender divisions in sports. Since there must be a concrete basis on which to distinguish between male and female athletes, testosterone levels seem like the best option since it can be scientifically linked to athletically-superior traits. Thus, if a 46, XY DSD athlete can lower her blood testosterone level to 5 nMol/L, she would be allowed to compete, as her competitive advantage would be diminished.

However, the opposing opinion argues that testosterone cannot be used as a metric, since biologically, it is not the sole determinant of athletic prowess. High testosterone levels is just one single factor that contributes to athleticism, among others such as height, natural agility and coordination, body structure, and mental toughness. What distinguishes Usains Bolts height and Michael Phelpss reduced lactic acid production from Caster Semenyas advantageous physical traits? In fact, Eero Mntyranta, a Finnish Olympian skier who won seven medals, had a condition called polycythemia, which causes abnormally elevated blood hemoglobin and red blood cell concentrations due to a mutation in the erythropoietin-receptor gene. Although his increased oxygen-carrying capacity undoubtedly conferred a competitive advantage, Mntyranta competed without opposition. How is his case different than Semenyas?

Furthermore, to take CASs decision to its natural conclusion, what would the policy be against XX females who naturally produce levels of testosterone that exceed 5nMol/L, such as with women who have the inherited disorder congenital adrenal hyperplasia? Although such a woman would have elevated testosterone levels akin to Semenyas, the former would be allowed to compete simply because her inherent chromosomal makeup is typical of a female, regardless of the substantial difference in athletic performance that the IAAF and CAS claim is caused by testosterone.

As a female collegiate athlete, I appreciate the merits and shortcomings of both sides of the discussion. Although maintaining fairness in sports is a significant value, Semenyas case begs us to consider the ethical implications of basing an international policy on controversial scientific evidence and such a decisions ramifications for future gender-related policies.

Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of Ineos, has said he would pull his sponsorship of the British squad if there was any evidence that his team were not a clean cycling operation.

The re-iteration of his confidence in Brailsford and the Ineos team comes as former Team Sky and British Cycling doctor Richard Freeman is involved in a hearing where he stands accused by the General Medical Council of ordering testosterone in 2011 to help a rider dope. Freeman denies the charges.

>>>Tour de Yorkshire route 2020: host locations revealed

Dave will have to dealwith that side, Ratcliffe told the Times. I am not interested in the history, just our watch and going forward. If there are any issues for Dave he will have to deal with those. There is nothing happening in our team.

After Sky announced they were ending their sponsorship of the British team, Ratcliffe stepped in to plug the 40 million funding gap with his petrochemical giant, continuing to provide the biggest budget of any WorldTour outfit. The British businessman says that before he agreed to put his money in rigorous checks were made to ensure he was investing in a legitimate, clean operation.

We checked all the procedures, everything, doctors records, Ratcliffe said. You buy a cycling team, there wasnt much legal work to do but we spent a lot of time on due diligence on the team.

We had external lawyers do those checks, looking at the procedures, testing. We took it seriously. The regulations when we bought, and the procedures in Team Sky, were the most sophisticated and rigorous in the cycling world.

Freemans tribunal is also investigating whether he failed to maintain adequate records and that he failed to ensure records on a laptop, stolen in August 2014, could be retrieved.

One of the latest developments in the case revealed that Freeman downloaded an academic article detailing testosterone boosting drugs a month before ordering Testogel.

And invite full-family participation. Almost everyone can do something, even if it is just a push-up against the wall, if someone shows them how and keeps saying, Wow, good job, Grandma, she said.

Importantly, you will not miss out on most health or fitness benefits by lowering your exercise targets to a few minutes per day while hanging out with the family, said Dr. Robert Sallis, a co-director of the sports medicine program at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Fontana, Calif., and the chairman of the Exercise Is Medicine initiative at the American College of Sports Medicine. The science is pretty clear that doing anything even if it is just taking the stairs or walking around the mall with your cousins counts, he said. It is all physical activity and adds up and goes toward improving health.

If you crave solo exercise, go early, said Katie Arnold, an ultrarunner and the author of the 2019 memoir Running Home.

Most normal people like to linger in the morning over coffee, she pointed out, so energetic early risers can slip out for a long walk or bike ride, and, with luck, your relatives wont even notice youve been gone.

You also can visit a local gym in the early hours. Most Y.M.C.A.s open early and offer day passes, Mr. Stulberg said.

You can find other local gym facilities that allow visitors to buy day or weekly passes with the TrainAway app.

Exercise may also help lessen the inevitable strains of holiday togetherness, Dr. Sallis said. There is nothing like exercise for reducing anxiety and stress, he said. Its the best medicine we know of. Even if its just a little, even its just a walk around the block, it could make a huge difference in how well people cope with the holidays.

Campus Cycling, a new indoor cycling studio, has replaced Cyc Fitness, a popular indoor spin studio on University Avenue, which closed in October due to corporate issues.

Cyc Fitness is a national chain based in New York City. The company abruptly closed their Madison branch on Sept. 27, giving notice of the closure a week prior, according to one of the Campus Cycling owners Lisa Taylor.

A number of us have been going for years and working there for years. We were all very sad that they were leaving and that we really had no notice of it, Taylor said. Some of us got together and talked about what we could do to hold things together.

What resulted from that conversation was Campus Cycling, which opened Nov. 10 a completely new studio that utilizes the same location. Instructors and riders alike were excited for the latest addition to the indoor biking community.

I was shocked at first and very excited to hear Campus Cycling was opening, said Alanna Goldman, an avid spinner. Cyc closing was losing a friend. I have spent a lot of time there the past 3 years.

Taylor emphasized the difference in energy between what used to be Cyc and other spinning studios.

A number of the people didnt work out in the six weeks the doors were closed, and these were people who worked out every day, Taylor said. Its really the energy of the people there that makes a big difference.

Emma Graves, a former instructor at Cyc, was excited to help start up the new studio.

We have all of these people that are still so passionate about cycling, we still have a clientele coming in, passionate instructors, and so we dont want it to end, Graves said.

An avid Cyc rider invested in the new space on University Avenue to create a new cycling studio on campus for the cycling community. The investor wishes to remain anonymous.

Campus Cycling is currently a placeholder name for the studio, which is only temporarily located at Cycs former location UW-Madison bought the current studio space for the next 15 years.

With the new name, instructors and employees are excited to develop the company in a new studio, tentatively opening at the end of February in what was previously Eriks Bike Shop on University Avenue.

Front desk employee Maddie Hughes highlighted how Campus Cycling has allowed her to strengthen her marketing opportunities by helping re-brand the new studio away from Cyc.

Its super interesting and fun to create a brand from scratch, she added. We want to give Campus Cycling a more relaxed feeling. The instructors have more creative freedom in their classes one instructor even plays the drums during his class.

Campus Cycling also has significantly lowered prices compared to Cyc while one class cost $22 at Cyc, its now $12 at Campus Cycling to make it more realistic and affordable for students, Graves said.

She loves that for many students it is the perfect break in their day and a safe space to release stress and take an hour to do something good for their body.

Its good for you, its good to you, Taylor said. And we just want to make sure as many people as possible get a chance to have a ride.

The goal for the new prices was to make the rides more doable for more students. Goldman stated that she thinks its accomplishing that goal.

Its very cool to be around a group of people that are so into something, she said. There are times that I smile and laugh and feel happy and just release. It's been great for my mental and physical health.

Taylor commented on the new design of the formerly sparse studio: most of the walls when you enter the premises of the studio are covered in vibrantly-colored graffiti.

Because we were abruptly thrown out of the place and basically told we couldnt work out there anymore, what we tried to do was recreate the space as if we hopped the fence and went back in and tagged it and made it our own, Taylor added.

People interested in Campus Cycling can book a class on the Mind Body app, as the startup does not have a website yet.

This is an open and welcoming place, Hughes said. Campus Cycling has the mindfulness aspect of yoga and the instructors really care about each rider as a person. It doesn't matter if you've never been on a bike the community is so supportive.

Planet Fitness, the national gym chain known for its low prices, "judgment-free zones" and annual New Year's Eve promotions at Times Square in New York City, is coming to Highland.

The fast-growing fitness chain that offers free pizza and free bagels once a month already has gyms in Hammond, Schererville, Merrillville, Hobart, Crown Point and Michigan City.

Planet Fitness is renovating the space at 3315 45th St. in Highland, Building Commissioner Ken Mika said.

As has been noted previously in this column, gourmet popcorn places have been popping up across Northwest Indiana the way froyo places and cupcake joints have in the past.

LeBarron and Nina Burton recently opened Popcorn World at 2560 Garfield St. inside the County Market Plaza in Gary, between the supermarket and the Shark's Fish and Chicken. The chain is known for hand-coated popcorn flavors like banana pudding, birthday cake, blackberry cream cheese cobbler, coconut cream pie, dark chocolate pomegranate, spiked egg nog, baked potato, dill pickle and peanut butter jelly.

Popcorn World has the slogan "doing the world a flavor," selling tins of popcorn of up to two gallons. It brags that it's "the world's largest gourmet popcorn shop" with 250 different flavors.

In other Region popcorn news, Epic Popcorn in the Jewel-Osco plaza on U.S. 30 in Dyer is expanding to Crown Point.

The popcorn chain will have a grand opening from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at 102 S. Main St. in Crown Point.

There will beface painting, balloon twisting, crafts, games, raffles, prizes, free popcorn tastings and special discounts throughout the day.

The chain said it's a"gourmet-inspired brand with a variety of chef-inspired ingredients to create unique popcorn flavors." Flavors include pumpkin spice, fab and fruity, chili lime, birthday cake, buttery fingers, cheddar bacon, chocolate wafer, coffee liquor, jalapeno bacon, jalapeno cheddar, grape, parmesan garlic, pina colada, rainbow mix, sour kiss, watermelon and whoa momma.

California-based Vampire Penguin is looking to offer its shaved snow and shaved ice in the Region, which a local franchisee touts as a "light, fluffy, creamy, gluten-free, dairy-free healthier alternative to ice cream."

Crown Point High School graduateThao Ho, who's known by the nickname "Chevy" since her name sounds like the Chevy Tahoe, plans to bring the franchise to Crown Point as soon as next spring. She lived in California, returned to Indiana, and decided to go into business for herself after working for Amtrak for 11 years. She is still in her 30s and thought the time was right to start a venture of her own.

"It has one-fourth fewer calories than frozen ice cream but will still indulge your sweet tooth," she said. "You can get great taste without feeling guilty."

Photo: Getty Images/LumiNola fitness resume

Working on our resumes is one of those much-dreaded adult chores that everyone has to do, but complains about before actually getting around to it (see also: paying bills and flossing teeth). Drafting a fitness resume, though? That's something I can get behind.

Trainer and wellness coach David Chesworth, who's the fitness director at Hilton Head Health, thinks you should be looking at your sweat game the same way you look at your career. Similar to your nine-to-five, your sweat dreams should be goal oriented and nicely organized with steps that get you to that goal. The fitness resume, something his colleague Matt Barrack, a fitness coach, coined can help you do just that.

The idea is that you set up fitness goals, which help you track how you're improving. "A lot of the times with goal setting and with behavior changes, just the idea of logging something reinforces adherence," says Chesworth. "On top of that, the feeling of success leads to more success." Think of it as a way to get extra motivation in your sweat game.

"Showing your previous achievements reminds you how you've had success in the past," says Chesworth, who says it's helpful to outline your strengths and weaknesses in fitness. "Something that's detrimental to the vast majority of people is getting tunnel vision with their workouts. If you're not seeing the precise results you want, it can be frustratingso a resume gives you more reasons to feel proud of yourself." Intrigued? Keep scrolling for Chesworth's five-step plan for creating one for yourselfI promise it's not nearly as annoying as writing one for a job.

1. Choose an objective:You can choose anything you're looking to achieve, like learning how to do a push-up in perfect form, or increasing your running endurance.

2. Build a skillset:"Once you've mastered something, see if you can increase it," says Chesworth. Conquered that perfect push-up? Make your next goal to knock out 10 at a time. "Keep track of your progress, and when you master something, add it as a skill then set a new goal within that skill."

3. Keep learning:Make note of your fitness knowledge repertoire. Do you follow a certain trainer on Instagram, or frequent a fitness studio? "Write down classes, apps, or channels you watch to learn more [about fitness]," says Chesworth, so you know where to check in for handy intel that can help you up your game.

4. List references:Think about who makes up your support team to hold you accountable, like your significant other who goes to Barry's Bootcamp with you (in my case) or a personal trainer who keeps you on a schedule. "Put down your support network who's supportive of you in your fitness routine," says Chesworth.

5. Display it: Don't tuck your fitness resume into the back of a drawerhang it up on your fridge or on your desk. "See it often and be reminded of your progress, and continue to update it regularly as you would a career resume," says Chesworth.The good news? There's no cover letter involved.

Also useful is the 5/3/1 Wendler method, which can help you achieve strength training goals. And here's why trainers say that in the divided world of cardio vs. weights, you should really be incorporating both.

If you were a kid in the US who took gym class anytime between the 1960s and 2012, chances are you took the Presidential Physical Fitness Test.

This gym-class tradition happened on an annual basis, requiring students to undergo a series of six physical challenges to test their endurance, agility, flexibility, and muscular strength. The kids who scored within or above the 85th percentile earned the coveted Presidential Physical Fitness Award.

I spent my school days in the drama club, in choral groups, and in the library. Yearly fitness tests in gym class were the bane of my existence. So when the opportunity arose to retake the Presidential Physical Fitness Test as an adult, I had to find out whether this challenge was really as arduous and soul-crushing as I remember.
