It was two decades ago this month that Sorauren Avenue Park officially opened following a “hard-fought” campaign to save a piece of land slated to become a garbage truck depot and turn it into greenspace instead. So, it makes sense that local residents, the Wabash Building Society, the Roncesvalles Ma c d o n e l l Re s i d e n t s’ Association and partners are planning a big bash in celebration of the park’s 20th anniver-

sary, Saturday, Sept. 26. Asked what makes the park so special, Joël Campbell, director of Wabash Building Society, answered enthusiastically – the people. “The neighbourhood surrounding Sorauren Park is a vibrant and diverse community. The creation and expansion of the park remains a common goal for all of us,” he told The Villager. “The dedication and commitment of volunteers for the past 20 years is our greatest strength.” Since its inception, the volunteer-run Wabash Building >>>COMMUNITY, page 18

See Mr. Pim Passes By at The Playhouse THEATRE REVIEW MARIA TZAVARAS contactus@insidetoronto.com It’s always amazing how everything you thought you knew about your life can change in an instant. This is the predicament fantastically portrayed in The Village Players’ first show of the season, Mr. Pim Passes By written by A.A. Milne, more famously known as the author of Winnie the Pooh. However, Milne also wrote this gem of a story, set in 1919 in the home of the Mardens in Buckinghamshire, England, where George Marden (Rob Candy), his wife Olivia (Kathleen Jackson Allamby), and their niece Dinah (Madeleine Kane) live in their beautiful home in the English countryside. It is an ordinary day in the

Dinah and Mr. Pim (Madeleine Kane and Steve Ness) in the Village Player's latest production Mr. Pim Passes By.

Marden household when an unexpected visitor arrives – Mr. Caraway Pim (Steve Ness) – to speak with George on a business matter. He is greeted by housekeeper Anne (Shobha Hatte), who sees him to the living room. Dinah soon greets him and as she is 19, is talkative and has a flair for the dramatic.

Since George is not at home, and after a whirlwind conversation with Dinah, Mr. Pim says he will return later. In the meantime, we meet Olivia, who is every bit as witty and lovely as Dinah says. A short time later, George returns from the pig barn where he has been speaking to, and denying Brain, Dinah’s hand in marriage. When Mr. Pim finally returns, he settles his business matters with George and is set to leave, but not before he drops a bombshell about Olivia’s deceased husband – that he saw him on a ship when he too used to live in Australia. Could it be that Olivia is not a widow at all? Is her fiveyear marriage to George all a sham? For George and his rigid and proper aunt, Lady Julia

Marden ((Barbara Salsberg), the publicity would be disastrous, and proper steps must be taken to rectify this terrible situation. Regardless of the truth, Olivia is a resourceful woman, and uses her intelligence to show everyone the ludicrousness of their thinking. She brilliantly uses her “misfortune” as a way to convince George the error of his thinking, including not allowing Dinah to marry Brian, a spirited artist who clearly loves her. This show is smart, sweet and entertaining; there is a twist and a happy ending, but you will have to watch it to see how it all unfolds.

Seniors deserve a nation-wide care strategy T aking care of an aging senior can be a heavy burden, particularly when they’re suffering from a complex health issue. It’s a day-to-day struggle for families and individual caregivers, but it’s also about to become a massive problem for our province and country. According to the Canadian Medical Association, our senior population is about to double in the next 20 years and the 85 and older age group will quadruple. Health-care issues will similarly increase, including cases of dementia. The latest numbers from the Alzheimer Society of Canada show that 14.9 per cent of Canadians 65 and older are currently living with our view dementia. That’s projected to jump by 47 per cent in just 16 We are facing years. This warning was delivered an impending to the editors at Metroland wave of dementia Media earlier this year by mental health professionals and it’s the reason we undertook a special investigative series on seniors and dementia, publishing this week. We heard the difficult stories. A husband who can’t leave home with his once-perfect match because his wife now behaves like an unruly five year old. Brilliant minds, once highly respected in their fields, struggling with simple daily tasks. Children of aging parents with dementia crippled by the financial cost of quality health care. South Asian families giving up their livelihood to care for a parent at home because they’re too culturally shamed to put them in a long-term care home or even admit they have dementia. We’re putting a spotlight on the issue – the challenges that currently exist in addressing the coming wave, but also the efforts made so far, the innovations being developed and the positive stories that offer hope for our future. Canada needs a long-term strategy for senior health care and dementia, one that takes into account the perspectives of people currently affected by the disease and establishes sufficient funding to offer quality care. With the federal election only weeks away, it’s the perfect time to apply pressure on policy makers. Visit www.insidetoronto.com/dementia to get a sense of the bigger picture. Then ask your local federal candidate what they propose to do to help our population as it ages.

The good and the bad of term limits Seasoned councillors have value...

t should hardly come as a surprise that Beaches-East York Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon wasn’t able to summon more than a smidgen of support for her motion to place term limits on municipal politicians. Being a city councillor in Toronto, after all, is a good gig. Governing the largest city in the country provides interesting and varied work for the diligent. For the vainglorious, there are plenty of opportunities to see oneself on television, hear oneself on the radio, read about oneself in the newspaper. For the opportunistic, there are other perquisites

david nickle the city like travel and nights out at the film festival and ball games. And for everyone seeking to pay off a mortgage in Toronto’s overvalued real estate market, there’s a six-figure salary attached. For the cynical, that’s enough to explain the vote at executive committee on McMahon’s motion Monday to ask that term limits be included in revisions to the City of Toronto Act. But there are good arguments for keeping councillors past their best-before date. Toronto is a complicated government, and it makes sense that at least a few of its overseers should be well-schooled in its operations. Given that there are no formal requirements that

... but not all politicians are created equal

a candidate for council go to councillor school before taking the job, it is essential that at least a few council members are able to contribute their experience and understanding of the place. Indeed, some of council’s most reliable members are its veterans: people like Shelly Carroll, Norm Kelly, Pam McConnell and Denzil Minnan-Wong. Before he stepped down, veteran councillor Howard Moscoe was able to play city hall like a well-tuned instrument that, if you agreed with his progressive politics, you’d count that a good thing. The trouble, of course, is that not all veterans are created equal.

Giorgio Mammoliti by way of example has been a city councillor since 1995, and in that time made a name for himself primarily as a showboater and class clown. Yet he has proven himself undefeatable in his ward, such being the power of incumbency. He is not the only one. It is useful to wonder, then, just how much value would we lose on city council if it were made up more completely of other bright lights – people like Kristyn Wong-Tam, Josh Matlow, Mike Layton, Josh Colle come to mind – who are working in their second term? And what would we gain in having a cadre of councillors who were treating the job as a short stretch of public service rather than a long-term career choice?

Volunteers needed for Sept. 30 cleanup >>>from page 1 will head to the river as part of the fifth annual Humber River Cleanup. The event attracts as many as 40 volunteers each year, who collect an average of two tonnes of garbage. Crawford attributes this to the length and size of the Humber River, accidental or illegal dumping of debris or from storm water runoff. This year’s cleanup could be the last unless sponsors

willingly step up to help ease the financial cost. Annually, the event costs approximately $8,000 and Crawford said he can’t continue on his own Spinnaker Recycling Corp. recently announced it was coming on board as a financial sponsor, however, more support is needed to keep it running, Crawford said. He and his team rely on as many as eight canoes to rid the Humber and its shoreline of garbage. Crawford then

takes it to a transfer station to dispose of it properly and recycled where possible. Those who would like to participate are asked to meet in the parking lot, just south of the Petro Canada gas station/car wash, north of the Queensway, just off of the South Kingsway at 8:30 a.m. Clean up takes place from 9:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.

objectives for a national strategy on dementia

According to Mimi Lowi-Young, Alzheimer Society of Canada CEO, key objectives of a national dementia strategy should include:

1 Increasing investment in research, fostering collaboration and improving knowledge exchange and translation. 2 Providing a surveillance system and evidence-based information on all aspects of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias to inform best practices. 3 Enhancing the competency and capacity of those delivering dementia care. 4 Increasing awareness about dementia risk factors, early diagnosis and timely interventions. 5 Strengthening the integration and co-ordination of care and service delivery across the health-care continuum. 6 Recognizing family caregiver needs and developing supports that provide options and flexibility.

DEMENTIA ADVISORY GROUP GIVES A VOICE TO THOSE AFFECTED

A fervent group of people living with dementia is out to prove life does not end with a diagnosis. The Ontario Dementia Advisory Group (ODAG) was formed in 2014 with the purpose of giving people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias a voice in shaping Ontario’s healthcare policy. The five-member group is erasing the assumption that people living with dementia are unable to communicate their needs, wants and perspectives. They are working with the provincial government to develop an Ontario dementia strategy that will impact the province’s aging population. Mary Beth Wighton is a retired owner of a recruiting firm. She was diagnosed with probable frontotemporal dementia in 2012 at age 45. As a member of ODAG, she shares the triumphs and challenges she faces with her partner and daughter through writing and speaking engagements. Here’s what she has to say:

1.4 MILLION PEOPLE As the Canadian population ages, we are seeing a growth in the country’s dementia problem. In 2011, 747,000 Canadians were living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias - that’s 14.9 per cent of Canadians 65 and older. Here are some stats that show how the dementia burden on Canadian society will begin to accelerate:

By 2031: If nothing changes, 1.4 million people will have dementia in Canada - a 47 per cent increase from 2011 levels.

+ + +

Today, the combined direct (medical) and indirect (lost earnings) costs of dementia total $33 billion per year. By 2040: That’s expected to climb to $293 billion a year, if Canada maintains its current path. In 2011, family caregivers spent in excess of 444 million unpaid hours looking after someone with cognitive impairment, including dementia.

This figure represents $11 billion in lost income and 227,760 full-time equivalent employees in the workforce.

By 2040: Family caregivers could spend 1.2 billion unpaid hours per year. Source: Alzheimer Society of Canada; www.alzheimer.ca

Working to defuse the dementia time bomb >>>from page 16 Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation. Since 2006, the government has invested more than $860 million in support of neuroscience research, allotting $182 million for the prevention, diagnosis and care of dementia. However, Lowi-Young said more needs to be done. A national strategy would ensure someone living in Northern Ontario would receive the same kind of service as someone in Vancouver, B.C. She said objectives of the national strategy should include more investment and focus in research, better integration, co-ordination and accessibility of primary, community and home-care across the country, improved training of health-care workers and better supports for family caregivers. The ASC has requested a total of $150 million over five years to create and fund the Canadian Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Partnership, which would bring together researchers, Alzheimer societies and federal and provincial governments to develop and implement a Canadawide plan. “We need to take these objectives and make them real,” Lowi-Young said. “We need to prepare now. We can’t wait for the future.”

ONTARIO IS A LARGE PIECE

cases to 255,000, according to the Alzheimer Society of Ontario. Efforts are underway that may help diffuse the province’s dementia time bomb. In November 2014, Premier Kathleen Wynne and Health Minister Eric Hoskins mandated Indira Naidoo-Harris, the Halton MPP and parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Health and Long Term Care, to develop a comprehensive Ontario dementia strategy. “It’s critical we start planning for our future today. It’s going to involve research, supports for caregivers and care partners, but it’s also going to involve educating people,” NaidooHarris said in an interview. Her mandate includes championing more research and innovation to better understand the disease, supporting the implemen-

tation of 25 new memory clinics across Ontario (designed for early dementia detection and prevention), and working across levels of government and agencies to identify ways to expand supports to family caregivers. The politician watched her fatherin-law battle Alzheimer’s and calls it an “extremely painful and emotionally draining” experience. “It was very hard for our family to sit by and watch one of the smartest men that we knew slowly lose the ability to speak and express himself,” she said. An advisory board of more than 30 experts has been formed to bring together key stakeholders from Alzheimer societies, the Ontario Long Term Care Association, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and community care access centres, among

others. David Harvey, chief of public policy and programs initiative for the Alzheimer Society of Ontario, is part of that board and said it is critical to have people at the table who are experiencing dementia first-hand. “Our focus has been developing a strategy that enables persons living with dementia to have a voice in articulating what their needs are and what the solutions might be moving forward,” he said. The Ontario Dementia Advisory Group (ODAG) consists of people living with dementia whose motto is “nothing about us without us.” They have been working with Naidoo-Harris on the Ontario strategy and will help government create policies and procedures through first-hand perspectives. ODAG member Bea Kraayenhof is a retired nurse who has been living with Alzheimer’s disease for 15 years. She said dementia should not be politicized and that Ontario needs to prepare for the “tsunami” by implementing a set of rules for long-term care homes and health-care agencies to follow. “The people in government now making the policies will be the ones living those policies,” she said. “If they’re lucky enough to live long, it’s probably going to happen to them.” An initial meeting was held in July to collect opinions and by 2020, more than jumping off points on how to best go about building a personA QUARTER OF A MILLION centered model of care. seniors in Ontario

VOICES

Families need more support to keep loved ones with dementia at home Beverly Verwey believes home is where the heart should stay. In 2007, she gave her mother, Betty, the option to move into a retirement home or to live with her in her Newmarket home. Betty chose the latter. Verwey watched her mother’s early signs of dementia progress to the point where Betty no longer recognized her daughter. Betty became blind and was later diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2012, Verwey retired early from her job with the Canadian Red Cross to stay home and take care of Betty. The local Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) provided 12 hours per week of personal support worker (PSW) help. She had a front row seat to gaps in the home care system, and noticed inconsistencies in PSWs’ implementation of her mother’s daily exercise routine, a critical component to her physical and mental health.

“The family caregivers need some sort of respite,” she said. “They have to trust that the support worker they’re leaving their loved one with is going to do the right thing.” She believes students in college PSW programs need more time in the classroom and doing clinical work. “The PSWs take a four-month course, then they have a short practical part where they work in a long-term care home,” she said. She said an occasional evaluation of PSWs’ skills, attitude and work ethic needs to be implemented. According to Verwey, an overhaul of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care is needed: “Funding, tools and resources from the government should be allocated to families who are keeping their family member at home.” Betty died in January 2014 at the age of 94. by LAURA DASILVA

Community centre next on the list >>>from page 1 Society (WBS) has raised more than $250,000 towards the park’s expansion, “an amazing feat for a small community park,” Campbell said. The anniversary event will serve as a workout for the new Sorauren Town Square, which opened last year. “We want people to come see this versatile new outdoor space within the park,” Campbell said. “We hope it will become a great venue for arts and music, in a neighbourhood full of great musical talent.” The 20th anniversary celebration also launches the

campaign to finish what Campbell called the final piece of the puzzle at Sorauren Park: the Wabash Community Centre. The project has been on the city’s books for more than 20 years and the final design is scheduled to start in 2017, he said. Sorauren Park is a City of Toronto community park situated at Sorauren and Wabash avenues. Highlights of the party include: a kids’ fun zone; a sports fun zone; a main stage zone, food zone and birthday cake competition. An outdoor movie will be screened at 8:30 p.m.

There will be historical exhibits throughout the park on Sept. 26. Perhaps a lesser known fact about Sorauren Park is that the girders for the Bloor Street Viaduct were fabricated in the park when it was the site of the Dominion Bridge Steel Company. “The girders still hold up the bridge today, almost 100 years later,” Campbell said. The anniversary celebration takes place in the park from 4 until 10 p.m.

BLOOR WEST VILLAGER | Thursday, September 24, 2015 |

Consumer Feature Dead Dog Records has opened its doors on a stretch of Bloor Street West known as the Bloordale village. Judging from the spate of new retailers Bloordale might just be Toronto’s next big neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is important to Dead Dog Records. At their official launch and grand opening Saturday, September 26th, Dead Dog Records will be hosting live performances by five different local artists, while serving treats from some of the near-by eateries.

Come celebrate our GRAND OPENING!!!

With almost 50 years of record store retail experience, the Dead Dog triumvirate of Stephen Yorke, Kristie Callaghan and Maesy Kitching have emerged from Sunrise ready to take the hood by storm! Offering a well curated selection of new and used vinyl, CD’s, and movies. Dead Dog Records brings to mind record stores of old, a point in time Mr. Yorke remembers fondly. Having managed eight different Sunrise Record stores over the past 34 years (most recently their co-flag ship store at Yonge and Bloor) one might consider him an authority on the subject.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 26th 1209 Bloor St. West, Toronto 10AM - 7PM

“There used to be so many great little record stores scattered throughout this city,” says Mr. Yorke “Yonge St. alone had a dozen or more just between Bloor and Queen St. it used to be known as the vinyl mile!” “We would walk that mile every Friday night and we would shop each and every one of those little record stores because each had their own identity and vibe supported by individual fascinating and wonderfully different artists and titles. Literally packed and stacked, floor to ceiling!” “When the CD revolution took hold,” Mr. Yorke continues,“the smaller discs generated giant stores with floors and floors of seemingly endless inventory. Little record stores were either forgotten about or absorbed by the big record retail chains, each link almost identical in presentation and selection, all neat and tidy and ready for the malls!” Arguably, this era of record retail (1985-1995) could be considered the golden age of the music industry. Record companies and record stores were very prosperous as most everyone re-purchased their favourite music on compact disc. “But then things got even smaller,” Yorke continues, “So much so that the letters r-e-c-o-r-d-s-t-o-r-e were all but replaced by three keystrokes...MP3!” Dwindling revenues, higher rents and increasing cost have conspired to force the big chains to reinvent and reconfigure themselves. By reducing music inventory in favour of higher margin music related items, in turn, has allowed smaller record stores to begin to flourish once again. “The return of the little record store!” says Yorke. “Quite neighbourhood specific too and they each have their own identity and vibe. Some even stacked floor to ceiling! Where I used to shop the vinyl mile, today it’s more of a neighbourhood stroll.” Yorke sees evidence of this in the number of record-store branded bags carried under the arms of his customers. “Most Saturdays we’ll have people shopping the bins at Dead Dog Records and they have already made purchases at several other local record stores...which is awesome!” To further the cause, Dead Dog Records looks forward to being one of the stops along the trail of the soon to be launched neighbourhood record store crawl. An event designed to encourage music enthusiasts to make a regularly scheduled day of crate digging. “Think pub-crawl but with music instead of pints” and keeping it in the neighbourhood! “It’s important that Dead Dog be a part of the fabric of the neighbourhood,” says Yorke. “We’ll have local bands, post-punk rockers Sedge, and roots rockers Brothers of North, introducing a young, new artist by the name of Brighid Fry, among others and we will serve some of the locals’ food and treats... do it up a little bigger than just cake and balloons.”

With live performances Ft. local artists: Brighid Fry, Brothers of North (acoustic), The Fiscals and Sedge. Sweet treats Loot bags & giveaways (notice we didn’t say just cake & balloons?)
