Students are typically portrayed as apathetic. Many don’t know the issues, don’t care to vote and don’t engage in the system. Is Centennial College different? We went each campus to ask students to find out.
The Yellow Umbrella Project is running Oct.6-10 make sure to follow our social media and check collegestudentalliance.ca.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
DEEPIKA GANGWANI
CON
TACTW elcome back from the first annual
Engagement Week. We hope you
enjoyed this much needed time off
in the fall. We also hope you enjoyed the events to
start the semester. We had events at every campus
like BeerFest and BBQ at Ashtonbee and SAC,
BeerFest with the Welcome Carnival and Western
Garba at Progress, as well as Casino Night and
Diwali at Morningside. We have also just wrapped
up the Yellow Umbrella Project to bring awareness
to student mental health issues.
Make sure to follow the Courier for information on
events, services and stories about college life. We are
always looking for stories, so do not hesitate to let
us know what you want to see.
If you are interested in contributing to the
Courier feel free to contact us at info@ccsai.ca.
I hope you are enjoying fall and let’s finish the
semester strong!

The YUP Campaign is an initiative in which the CCSAI partners with the College Student Alliance (CSA) to spread awareness about mental health. We want to show support to stop the stigma, help students to cope with their stress and make them aware of what resources are available on campus.
The campaign ran for the whole week with activities at each campus. We’re using yellow because, as one of the lightest colours, it is uplifting and illuminating. Yellow offers hope, happiness, cheerfulness and fun. You can find more information about services available on campus at https://www.centennialcollege.ca/student-life/student-services/the-counselling-centre/

Students are a large group of the citizens that traditionally do not participate in elections on the same level as other demographic groups. The Courier wanted to see how students are feeling about the state of Toronto, the candidates, the issues
and if they plan on voting coming up to the Oct. 27 municipal elections. Keep reading to see where students stand.

Nelson Chak – HVAC Program Progress campus
“If they (the students) don’t vote, they lose their right to vote. That’s all I’ve got to say.”
“The only way to bring this city back up is to create a new industry. Bring back manufacturing jobs and anything that’s tangible”
J ohn Tory’s platform includes the immediate commencement of a Scarborough subway extension
Olivia Chow’s campaign includes the previously researched, funded and shovel-ready Sheppard East LRT to serve Morningside Campus. As well as the Scarborough Rapid Transit LRT conversion as originally proposed, that would have had a stop at Centennial’s Progress Campus. The belief is that the above ground model will have more stops, serve more people and be completed faster.
The College’s position remains in support of the LRT model because it would directly aid students in reaching campus, but the College is also in favour of other proposals that would improve Scarborough transit.

Wiliston Mason – MAP Volvo/Mack Program Ashtonbee
“The (TTC) bus comes frequently but my commute is still very long.”
Langston Lee – Ace Program Ashtonbee
“I think they should have a paying system inside the buses.”
About the election they said…
“I would like to vote but I won’t. I don’t have enough information to
decide.”
Staphan Thompson – Pre-Health
“Most people tell me (about transit) that it could be a little quicker.”
About the election he said…
“I want to hear about something that is going to affect me 5 years down the
road when I’m a more mature adult.”
T he TTC states that 60% of paid fares go to buses and that buses are the only immediate way to expand service.
John Tory is proposing a number of new express bus routes that could make longer commutes by bus easier for students.
Olivia Chow proposes a hike to citywide bus services, which would make for more regular service.
On the jobs front, Olivia Chow would require companies with large contracts with the city to hire and train young people through community benefits agreements. This would allow for city
funds to go to apprenticeship programs. Chow believes that she can help to double
the number of young people put to
work by the city in four years. She is also proposing small business tax cuts and plans to expedite the business approval process with online services.
John Tory hopes to promote youth employment by acting as a mayoral youth employment ambassador. He also hopes to expand the number of Partnership to Advance Youth Employment (PAYE) companies to smaller businesses in less developed neighborhoods.
Tory also hopes to entice companies to Scarborough by lowering property taxes as part of a Scarborough Subway Community Improvement Plan. Young people would be a priority in this plan as would eliminating bureaucracy so young people and students can form connections directly with employers.

Akeem Raphael - MIAP Story Arts Centre
“I’ve heard some people say that it takes them ‘forever to get here’ but I haven’t really heard anyone complain about transportation as the problem.”
“Affordable housing is a big issue. An affordable one bedroom apartment is so hard to find in Toronto.”
“I just feel there are not a lot of job opportunities for students, especially after we graduate.”
“Students don’t really care about this election because there is no connection. They don’t see how these issues relate to their lives.”
“If the politicians and media did a better job relating the issues to students I feel the students would act.”

Centre
I n addition to bus services, Chow’s campaign does include a downtown relief subway line that could potentially serve the Story Arts Centre.
John Tory’s city spanning Smart Track surface subway line would feature a stop a stop at Gerrard St E, which would be a reaonsable distance to the Story Arts Centre.

u Gather all the necessary supplies and be sure to work in an open area, preferably with a
large mirror.
u Make sure your face is thoroughly cleansed - we want a fresh canvas to start with so the primer applies properly.
u Use a colour-correcting primer and apply to any area you will be putting
makeup on.
u Start with the black contours. Take a crease brush and apply black shapes to any areas you want to be
the darkest.
u It’s a good idea to have a shape in mind before starting this. Doing it on the fly might result in an unsymmetrical pattern.
u In any area you wish, blend the black so it fades into the skin. For this one, I blended at the
ends of the shapes by the eyes and nose.
u Choose the colours you wish to overlay and start with the darkest. Use a crease eye shadow brush.
u I began by layering blue, then added purple, pink, and yellow.
u Work from the eye outward. Use the brush to apply layers of colour into various spots and blend well. Leave open spaces in the design.
u Add white to any areas of the face you wish to highlight by using a loose-bristled round brush.
u In any of the left open spaces between the colours, add white to bring
brightness to the makeup.
u Apply black eyeliner and mascara to frame the eyes.
u Take a fine-tipped brush and dip it in water. Using your loose white power, apply dots along your design to mimic stars.
u DONE! Now all you need is to find a matching
costume.

Simple Full Body RoutineWith a busy school schedule, it's hard to find time to get a workout in. Below is a simple,
full-body workout that you can do in the comfort of your home, outdoors, or even in the gym. Perform 15 repetitions of each exercise and continue onto the next exercise with no rest. Complete 3 sets and only rest after one set has been completed.
CrunchesLay on a mat with both knees bent to 90 degrees. Place your hands on top
of the thigh and keep the neck and spine neutral. While keeping the hands in contact with the thighs at all times, lift your torso up until the tip of the fingers touch the knee. Slowly lower yourself down to the mat and repeat.
Please consult your doctor or health care provider before starting any exercise program.
Jump SquatsStand with your feet facing forward, shoulder-width
apart. Keep good alignment in the spine and have the eyes looking forward. Jump as high as you can and have your arms overhead and reach towards the ceiling. Land with soft knees to avoid any excess stress on the knees. Alternatively, the Jump Squat can be replaced with Bodyweight Squats if the exercise causes any discomfort.
Push UpsStart on all four and have the hands a little wider than shoulder
width apart. Slowly bring the torso towards the ground while maintaining a neutral spine and push yourself back up to the starting position. Performing the push up on your knees will decrease the difficulty of the exercise.
Jumping JacksStand with the arms to the side and feet shoulder width apart. Jump
directly in the air while simultaneously moving both arms and legs outwards. Jump back to the starting position and repeat. Perform jumping jacks with only the legs moving to make this exercise easier.

Work flowTutorial pt. 2
By: Dennis Gonzales
L ast issue’s article described how to efficiently narrow down a large number of images, next is the actual editing process. The goal of my editing process is to make the image match what I saw with eyes.
I’ll describe the goal of each step, but I’ll be making references to features in Adobe Lightroom 5. You will have to figure out the equivalent processes for the program you’re using.
PHOTOGRAPHY
1 1 - White Balance: The colour of light can affect
the colour profile of an image. Using Auto White Balance (AWB) can cause inaccurate colour. Fix this before doing any editing!
1 - Here’s an unedited picture taken at dusk. Note the blurriness of the stars, not because of the camera mov-
ing, but because the 30-second exposure is capturing the stars moving in the sky.
2 - Lens Correction: All lenses have minor inherent defects, either in the form of distortion, or vignetting or both. Lightroom allows you to correct for these “defects”, but doing so can make changes to the exposure of the overall image, this must be taken into account.
2
3 3 - Exposure: Remember,
the key here is to make the picture look like how you saw it with your own eyes. Not too bright, not too dark.
3 - Here is what the picture looks like after exposure is raised a stop. The lens was also “corrected”, but the changes are barely perceptible
since the lens I used has virtually no distortion or vignetting.
4
4 - Recover details, remove clipping: If you hit the J key in Develop mode in Lightroom, areas of your image will be highlighted in red or blue . Red represents highlight clipping in overexposed areas, while blue represents shadow clipping in underexposed. This is important (I’ll cover the topic in the future) because information is being lost in areas that are clipping, which drastically reduces image quality, simply put.
To fix this, set both Shadows and Blacks to +25, and set both Highlights and Whites to -25, recovering the information lost in the under- or over-exposed areas. This does technically improve your image, it does make it look dull, bringing us to the next step.
4 - Zoomed in and showing clipping, note the blue dots near the bottom showing underexposed areas, and the red spots
indicating particularly bright stars. 5 5 - Recover Contrast: To
recover the dullness in your image, simply set your contrast to +25 and your image should look as it was before while still preserving the information recovered previously. From here you have a lot of options. Often times I do some minor tweaks with the contrast, the shadows/highlights, the exposure or maybe do some noise reduction. Other times it will be worth delving even deeper with Adobe Photoshop, but there is no one robotic way to “finish” all images, the rest is up to the photographer.
5 - After recovering details, note how dull the picture looks in comparison to the
previous picture.
