As the number of Canadians with Lyme disease continues to climb, Canada is developing a federal framework for dealing with the issue.

The framework will focus on guidelines for identifying and treating Lyme disease, tracking infection rates and their economic impact, and developing standardized educational

materials for public health providers.

In Ontario, Lyme disease is spread through bites from infected blacklegged ticks, also called deer ticks. In May, Toronto Public Health held a press conference in Morningside Park to discuss the city’s growing blacklegged tick population and warn residents to protect from bites.

Along with Morningside Park, Rouge Park and Algonquin

Island have been identified as areas where the ticks are most likely to be found in Toronto.

Ticks from Rouge Park have tested positive for Lymedisease-causing bacteria. First identified in Toronto in 2013, blacklegged ticks, which can’t fly or jump, migrate by attaching to birds and other animals, so they can be found outside known areas as well.

Two swimming events and two Olympic medals, so far, for Toronto east-end teenager Penny Oleksiak at Rio 2016.

On Sunday, she earned a silver medal in the 100-metre butterfly, one night after she anchored the Canadian women’s 4x100m freestyle relay team to a bronze medal.

The individual silver medal for the 16-year-old Toronto resident, who finished up her Grade 10 year at Monarch Park Collegiate in June, marked Canada’s first individual female Olympic swimming medal since Marianne Limpert at Atlanta 1996 – four years before Oleksiak was born. It also marked the first Olympic medal of any kind for a Canadian woman in the butterfly event.

She is also the first Canadian woman to win two Olympic medals since Anne Ottenbrite did in 1984 in Los Angeles.

Her time of 56.46 seconds was also a world junior record, breaking her own record that she set in the preliminary round.

Ahead of her for the gold medal was Sarah Sjostrom from Sweden who won the event in world record time of 55.48 seconds, smashing her own world record. In third place was defending Olympic champ

On the path to understanding Lyme disease >>>from page 1 work, there was a public consultation in June 2015 and a conference in Ottawa this May. Jim Wilson, president of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation, was one of the conference chairs.

“I hope the end result will be that physicians recognize that Lyme disease is neither easy to diagnose, nor is it easy to treat,” said Wilson of the framework. “I think the evidence that was presented (during the conference), and the evidence that is published in many different research papers, has shown that the testing protocol that we’ve been using (in Canada) over the past decades is not accurate. It will not cover all of the strains of bacteria that we know we have and they’re still discovering more.”

Along with funding for more research, including human tissue study, Wilson hopes the framework will change how Lyme disease is diagnosed and treated.

“Tying the diagnosis to the patient having been in a known endemic area is foolhardy in a disease that’s transplanted randomly, so we hope that’s going to change,” he said.

“Limiting the treatment to a specific period of time, three-to-four weeks of antibiotics for example, considering the evidence that was presented (at the conference) and the many research papers, that too must change. Doctors must be free to treat the patient based upon the symptoms.”

He also hopes diagnosis will stop being tied to people having a “bull’s eye” rash. While Lyme literature notes most people with the disease develop the mark, Wilson said current research and his foundation’s experience indicate many people don’t develop any sort of rash at all.

Wilson wants transparency in the framework and people with Lyme disease to have a say in it. “I just want to make sure that the patients and their experts are given the voice they deserve at the table where the policy decisions are made. We want to be engaged in the writing of policy, and not just token representation, and not just as reviewers of something that somebody else has written.”

Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. David Williams, said the province’s main focus is helping people reduce the risk of getting Lyme disease.

“So we have a public that is more aware, more knowledgeable on ticks, on handling of ticks, on accessing their physician in a timely fashion,” he said. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure ... It’s really very much in the hands of the public, because they’re the ones that choose to get exposed, they’re the ones that choose to go see a doctor or not, and choose to ask about it, so we want them as knowledgeable as we can get them.”

“

We take (lyme disease) very seriously, and we’re very concerned about it.

– David Williams, ontario’s Chief Medial officer of Heath

To help, Ontario launched a public awareness campaign as part of its “Combating Lyme Disease Through Collaborative Action: Ontario’s 10 Step Education and Awareness Plan” that was released in July.

Williams has seen “snippets and bits” of the federal framework, but noted it hasn’t been finalized, because some aspects are still being discussed. He hopes it will help provinces and territories better understand how other parts of Canada approach the issue, and how it varies throughout the country where different strains of Lyme-disease-causing bacteria are found.

“And keep pushing the research agenda on a go-forward basis, so not just sitting and saying, well this is as it is. Let’s keep driving and looking for solid evidence and science that would move all the aspects of it, and so we’re really hoping that (the federal government) might stimulate that and keep that moving ahead,” he added.

“I know a lot of people are wanting to look at the actual treatment, concepts around chronic Lyme disease, and we’re waiting for those experts in various areas to continue

to review all those standards in that, and definitions, and assessments, and diagnosis around that, as well as the federal paper.”

Once the framework is released, the Ontario government will review it, see what it agrees with and ask questions about points of difference.

“And to see then what kind of socalled federal-provincial-territorial conjoint activities can, or should, or would we do,” Williams said. “Or what can we do more in our own respective jurisdictions.”

He wants a better picture of how many Ontarians may have been exposed to infected ticks, because monitoring is done through testing and doctors sometimes use preventative medicine instead of ordering tests. Testing isn’t effective in the very early stages of infection, when medical intervention is thought to be most effective, because tests rely on antibodies that need time to build up. Instead, doctors sometimes prescribe antibiotics to keep a potential infection from setting in.

“We would like to document that a bit better, so we can understand the work that our primary care doctors are doing in that regard, so it’s part of our surveillance system,” Williams said.

He said Ontario’s testing method is the best.

“We have a standardized one that we use, the same as CDC Atlanta and the other top-leading laboratories, it’s a two-stage one. We’re continually looking at our testing to make sure we’re trying to standardize it with other leading centres, and we feel ours is the gold standard.”

He added, “We take (Lyme disease) very seriously, and we’re very concerned about it.”

The provincial government will continue its awareness campaign.

“We really want to make (the public) aware of what we are doing, that we want to do more of it, and want to do it better.” he said. “And keep raising that bar up on a prevention mode.”

KNOW YOUR TICK

KNOW YOUR TICK BITES WHERE: Blacklegged ticks sit on tall grasses and shrubs, with arms outstretched, waiting to grab on to animals or humans.

HOW: People can reduce the risk of tick bites by staying in the centre of trails, and wearing DEETbased bug repellents and lightcoloured clothing that makes it easier to spot ticks, which can be as small as poppy seeds.

Wearing long-sleeve shirts, and

pants tucked into socks, also helps prevent bites.

WHAT: Early symptoms of Lyme disease can include headache and fatigue, fever and chills, and muscle and joint pain, as well as a stiff neck and rash.

Left untreated, the disease can cause heart and neurological problems.

Torontonians need to take precautions against Lyme disease

WRitE uS

T

icks that carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease are confirmed to be in at least three Toronto locations, which should be a cause for concern but not panic among residents.

In the case of protecting ourselves from this disease, an ounce of prevention will go a long way.

Part of that includes knowledge about the causes of Lyme disease, its diagnosis and in what places to be especially careful – not just in Ontario but anywhere you might travel.

In today’s paper, we’re giving readers that valuable information.

Be aware that Toronto Public Health has identified Algonquin Island, Morningside Park and the Rouge Valley as city locations where blacklegged ticks (that carry Lyme disease) have been located.

In the case of Rouge Park, ticks have tested positive for the Lyme-disease-causing bacteria.

When in these areas, please use OuR ViEW caution.

Our stories today provide some safety tips for you.

Take Diagnosing Lyme is a chalresponsibility lenge for the medical community, says Jim Wilson, the president for tick safety of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation.

His organization wants Canada’s testing for the disease changed as they do not consider it to be accurate or able to cover all the different strains of Lyme disease.

Wilson also says treatment plans need to be re-examined at the federal level, specifically the decision to treat for Lyme disease and the course of antibiotics used and for how long.

Canada is only now working on federal public health framework on dealing with Lyme disease. It’s been a long time coming on the federal level, but fortunately the Province of Ontario has been moving ahead on its own and putting its emphasis on reducing risk.

That’s a sound strategy by the province, but it will require a high level of public education and personal responsibility on the part of all residents.

“It’s really very much in the hands of the public, because they’re the ones that choose to get exposed, they’re the ones that choose to go see a doctor or not, and choose to ask about it, so we want them as knowledgeable as we can get them,” said Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health in an interview with Metroland Media Toronto. newsroom ph:

Ten sure signs the Olympics are in full swing Here are 10 signs the Summer Olympics are in full swing: 1. TV announcers say “repechage” a lot. It flows so easily off their tongues you’re in awe. Hard as you try, you still can’t pronounce it properly after all these Olympics.

2. When heats are being contested in any sport, you scan each lane to see if a local athlete or team qualified. If you come up empty in your search, you quickly switch channels until you find a heat in which you have a rooting interest.

The semifinals and finals you tune in regardless of who’s involved, but when it comes to those preliminary heats it seems to take hometown faces and logos to keep you glued to your set.

3. Many of your favourite Olympic events have judges decide who wins or loses.

Alas, all too often, you don’t agree with their decision.

An athlete winning because he/she crosses

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY the finish line first you can understand. A team winning because they score the most points, you also understand. But after being mesmerized by a gymnastic routine and then having the judge give a much different score than you, you’re baffled. It doesn’t stop you from watching gymnastics, but you can’t help wish there was a system more in line with the non-judged events.

4. The Summer Games are a veritable athlonfest and Rio is no different. Pick an athlon any athlon and you’ll find it here. Each captivates in its own way, but the modern pentathlon is in a league of its own.

How can you not love an event that was created back in 1912, still proudly calls itself modern and nobody gets their shorts in a knot over it?

5. Many of the official sponsors differ from Summer Games to Summer Games, but two never change and they’re both back again in Rio. The Official Pickle: traffic congestion and the Official Excuse: lack of government funding.

6. It seems every newspaper headline during the Games has to be a play on words. “So-and-so swimmer makes a huge splash.”

“So-and-so gymnast jumps for joy.”

7. The Games always feature a blend of familiar veterans and the introduction to some exciting new stars.

For Canada, two of the former who come to mind are 33-year old soccer sensation Christine Sinclair and men’s doubles tennis standout Daniel Nestor.

Sinclair, the most accomplished Canadian soccer player of all-time, leads the women’s team and is in her third Olympics. Nestor is in his sixth . As for the

new Canadian kids on the block? First up is 16-yearold Penny Oleksiak who got a bronze medal Saturday and followed it up with a silver on Sunday. And she still has three events to go.

8. When an athlete or team from home wins a medal, you can’t help but get a tear in your eye.

9. If they get gold, it’s tears plural and you automatically rise for the playing of the national anthem.

Even if you’re just watching by yourself at home.

10. The Olympic mascot never fails to be a weirdlooking creature.

But darn if you don’t want to give it a hug.

Rio’s is named Vinicius.

He’s a big hit. So be prepared for a long wait.

And no shoving if you’re behind me. I plan to take my sweet time.

St. Joe’s hospital gets $1.3M in funding for repairs, upgrades JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com The provincial government wants to ensure Ontario’s hospitals remain in good working order.

Last Thursday, Premier Kathleen Wynne accompanied by St. Paul’s MPP Dr. Eric Hoskins, who is also the minister of health, announced a cash infusion of $175-million in 2016 to 2017 for critical hospital repairs and upgrades.

The press conference took place at East York’s newly renamed Michael Garron Hospital, which is set to receive more than $2.8 million.

Other Toronto hospital benefitting from the funding include St. Joseph’s Health Centre (more than $1.3 million), St. Michael’s Hospital (more than $5.5 million), Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre ($10 million), The Hospital for Sick children (more than $4.3 million) and University Health Network ($10 million).

A total of 135 hospitals across Ontario will be receiving funding through the provincial Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund to keep them in a state of good repair.

“We’re here to talk about the importance of keeping hospitals in the best possible condition for the patients they serve,” said Wynne, who prior to the press conference toured one of the wings at the eastend hospital.

“Aging hospitals have many, many

years of useful life in them.”

She said the funding would be used to upgrade and improve heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems as well as install new roofs and windows among other things so that money can be better spent on caring for patients instead of paying heating bills.

In a release, Hoskins said the new funding is part of the provincial government’s efforts to build a “health-care system that delivers

faster access today and a sustainable system that will be there for Ontario patients in the future.”

“Making thee necessary investments is part of our commitment to put patients first by ensuring that they get the high-quality health care they need – when they need it,” he said.

The Ontario government is also planning to invest $12 billion over 10 years for 35 major hospital construction projects.

Trend 3: Clean Connectivity

Less is more. The minimalist design trend that started in the mobile phone category is coming to life in every corner of the home, including kitchen appliances. “The most modern kitchen appliances look a lot like today’s smartphones,” says Lyndon Madden, marketing director at GE Appliances Canada.

“Squared edges, lots of glass and touch screen controls are key design elements we’re bringing to the market in response to consumer demand.”

Penny Oleksiak has sports running deep in her family >>>from page 1 Canadian Olympic Committee website, said she followed the advice of her first coach.

“I definitely don’t try to hold back but I think that last 10 metres you just have to put in everything else you have left because once the race is over you’re probably going to regret it if you don’t put everything else in it,” she said.

It didn’t immediately sink in she had earned silver.

“The first few seconds after I touched the wall I didn’t look back, I was just trying to catch my breath,” she said, in the COC media release. “I wasn’t even sure I medalled until I looked up and I saw the Canadian flags in the air around me. Getting to see that and then getting to see that you medalled is just an amazing feeling.”

She immediately looked for her parents and siblings who were all in the stands to watch her remarkable performance.

“I saw my dad, he stood up and waved to me. He was literally the only person I saw, everything else was just blurred.”

Sports runs in Oleksiak’s family – brother Jamie Oleksiak is an NHL defenceman with the Dallas Stars, Hayley Oleksiak is in rowing at Northeastern University.

Prior to Monarch Park Collegiate, Oleksiak attended Glen Ames Senior Public School after previously attending Kew Beach Junior Public School.

On Saturday night, Oleksiak proved to be a world-class closer as Canada came through to capture the Olympic bronze medal in a

historic women’s 4x100-metre freestyle relay.

It marked Canada’s first

swimming relay medal since 1988, and first in that event since 1976.

Ve t e r a n s S a n d r i n e Mainville of Boucherville, Que., and Chantal Van Landeghem of Winnipeg, delivered a strong opening two legs at the Olympic

Aquatics Stadium. That left the job ending the nation’s 40-year Olympic medal drought in the event to Oleksiak and another 16-yearold, Taylor Ruck of Kelowna, B.C. On the final lap, Oleksiak separated from the other

bronze hopefuls, setting off a celebration on the pool deck as she touched the wall at three minutes, 32.89 seconds – a Canadian record.

Michelle Williams of North York, who swam in the morning qualifying, also earns Olympic bronze.

Oleksiak delivered a 52.72-second anchor leg after swimming her 100-m butterfly semifinal about a hour earlier.

“I wasn’t super-nervous because the other girls had all done their job and got us in position,” Oleksiak said, in an interview posted on the Swimming Canada website.

“It (earning the bronze medal) is surreal because no one expected us to win a medal and now everyone is talking about it.”

Oleksiak had one individual event remaining: the 100m freestyle with heats and semis on Wednesday and finals Thursday night.

Davenport cheers for Canada’s only taekwondo Olympian The Davenport neighbourhood is proud that one of its own is competing in taekwondo as part of Team Canada at the Summer Olympic Games in Rio. Melissa Pagnotta is one of Team Canada’s 313 athletes. She’s also Canada’s only athlete to compete in taekwondo.

“It is an honour to represent my country as the only

taekwondo athlete on Team Canada,” she said in a statement, following her official nomination by the Canadian Olympic Committee and Taekwondo Canada in May. “I have been training hard and will do my absolute best to make Canada proud as I take on the world’s toughest competitors in Rio.” Pagnotta, 27, will represent

Canada in the under-67 kilogram division.

To help her achieve Olympic success, she received support from Athletics Ontario’s Quest for Gold program.

Since 2006, Quest for Gold has provided Ontario athletes and coaches with approximately $100 million in support with Team Canada.

City records first positive test for West Nile virus this year Yaffe, Toronto’s acting medical officer of health, said in a release.

West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne illness that can cause encephalitis or swelling of the brain.

The majority of people infected with the virus show no symptoms, although one in five people infected will have symptoms that may include fever, headaches,

nausea, vomiting and body aches, which can be accompanied by a skin rash and swollen glands. Symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to weeks.

About one in 150 people infected will experience serious symptoms including neck stiffness, extreme confusion, disorientation, muscle weakness, vision loss and numbness.

Although the r isk of becoming infected is low, protection against mosquito bites can further reduce this risk. Toronto Public Health reminds residents to take precautions now and throughout the summer to protect themselves from mosquito bites: n Wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts, pants, socks and a hat when outdoors, especially at dusk and

dawn when mosquitoes are most active; n Use insect repellent approved by Health Canada and follow product instructions; n Remove standing water from your property where mosquitoes can breed; n Maintain screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of your home.
