JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Having just turned a year old, Signs Restaurant is continuing to offer Torontonians the kind of dining experience they won’t find anywhere else in the city.

The downtown restaurant features hearing impaired wait staff, meaning that a meal there can also serve as somewhat of an introduction to American Sign Language (ASL).

Founded by Anjan Manikumar, the restaurant

has basic signs on the menu, plus a “cheat book” offering a few additional signs guests may want to use to communicate everything from food preferences to feedback on their meals. >>>HEARING, page 3

Similar to choosing between contact lenses or glasses, you can decide with your hearing professional which hearing aid style would best suit you. Both styles have approximately the same performance and functions, but are fitted to the ear differently.

It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible!

Open-fit and Invisible-In-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are smaller and more beautiful than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet open-fit hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin. The new IIC hearing aid--now with wireless technology--provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

Walking for wife who has battled cancer for 60 years JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Considering everything his beloved wife has faced, 70-year-old Victor Smith considers his decision to walk 25 kilometres in one day to be small potatoes.

The downtown resident will take to the streets of Toronto Sept. 12 as part of the Shoppers Drug Mart OneWalk to Conquer Cancer benefiting Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. He is walking in honour of his wife Dorothy, who has been battling cancer for more than 60 years.

“We met in 1982 and were married in ’83, and during our first year together, Dorothy was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Victor said.

It was not Dorothy’s first experience with the illness.

At the age of 17, she had surgery to remove what doctors believed was a cyst from her breast.

“I was only 17 when I had the surgery done at Humber Memorial Hospital,” Dorothy recalled. “It was after that

operation that the cancer really started. It was right where they had operated and I could tell something was wrong because it was all out of shape.”

When she had a doctor examine her again – she mentioned it in passing during a visit unrelated to her diagnosis – she was told a specialist would have to look at it.

“It took eight weeks for me to see the specialist and I was practically going nuts; I was frantic,” Dorothy said. “When I finally got to see him, he said I’d have to have a radical mastectomy.”

Even after that surgery, the cancer returned as the doctors had missed one lymph node.

It was one more setback in a nearly life-long battle with the illness.

“When I was first diagnosed, I was 17 and I’m over 80 years old now,” Dorothy said. “I’ve had three surgeries, three sets of chemo and radiation. It seems to go OK for five or six years and then something comes up.”

Victor has been by

Victor Smith, 70, left, will walk 25 kilometres in the Shoppers Drug Mart OneWalk to Conquer Cancer benefiting Prince Margaret Cancer Centre, in support of his wife Dorothy who has battled the illness for 60 years.

Dorothy’s side for the last 30-plus years of her battle.

They met when V ictor dropped by an event that Dorothy was putting on as part of her church’s social action committee, and while

they hit it off, neither expected their romance to last.

“She was in her 40s and I was in my 30s, and you know how it is – these things with cougars never last,” Victor said with a laugh. “It’s only

been 30-some years.”

During their time together, they have seen Dorothy’s two children from a previous marriage grow up and have welcomed two grandchildren into the family.

“This has all happened while she’s had cancer,” Victor said. “Most people have a normal lifespan about as long as she’s been fighting it.”

Dorothy’s battle with cancer is ongoing. She is now battling lung and throat cancer, three months removed from her last round of chemotherapy.

“The doctor said my lungs show a slight increase in cancer, but he hasn’t put me back on chemo yet,” she said. “He said to come back

in a couple of months to get checked again.”

Victor said the quality of treatment Dorothy has received at Princess Margaret has added fuel to his desire to participate in the OneWalk.

“I’ve noticed over the years that they’ve been getting better and better and better at diagnosing it, and they keep making the treatment suit her,” he said.

He has been training for the walk, though he typically walks five kilometres instead of the OneWalk’s 25.

“I walk five kilometres and this is only five times that distance,” he said.

“To get rid of cancer, we’re not talking millions of dollars (in research), we’re talking billions. If I can raise a bit of money toward that, what’s 25 kilometres?”

Victor is hoping to collect $1,500 in donations for his upcoming walk.

Hearing impaired patrons can communicate fluently with restaurant staff >>>from page 1 “(Manikumar) was working at Boston Pizza and a guest who was deaf came in,” said Signs General Manager Rachel Shemuel. “At first, he used a pen and paper, but he found that impersonal, so he learned a few basic signs. The next time the guest came in, he was overwhelmed at that little bit of effort.

“Anjan wondered ‘how can a deaf person have a great dining experience?’”

To ensure everything goes smoothly, Signs has some staff members who are not hearing impaired. They introduce guests to their servers and help run through a few basic signs. Once the dining experi-

ence is underway, however, the menu and cheat book give guests about all they need to communicate.

“It’s about ease of experi-

ence – we don’t want people to leave anxious or feeling like they made a fool of themselves,” Shemuel said.

The staff members are

happy to be able to work at a job that would otherwise be off-limits to them due to communication barriers.

“A lot of our staff came to

us with zero experience working, let alone working in a restaurant,” Shemuel said.

For the customers, what starts out as a novelty quickly turns into a topic of conversation.

“We’ve had people leave and say ‘that’s the most we’ve ever sat and talked to each other over dinner,’” Shemuel said. “We have one gentleman who brings all his friends here – every time he has people visiting from out of town, he wants to show them this restaurant.”

The restaurant is also a hit among hearing impaired patrons, who can feel at home and speak fluidly with their wait staff. Visitors who do not

The Ex: marking a special time of year for Toronto families

Write us

T

oronto summers have an ebb and flow to them marked by different events and traditions, which define the season, but with the opening of the Canadian National Exhibition comes the clearest sign of all: the end of summer is approaching.

It’s part of life in the city and of being a Torontonian, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

The 137th annual version of The Ex opens Friday and continues until Labour Day on Monday, Sept. 7.

The fair itself has its own traditions, including lots of wacky food creations, concerts, displays, theme days and the Canadian International Air Show to wrap it all up on the Labour Day weekend.

Toronto families carefully pick the days they will attend based on events they to see, and those tradiour view want tions are handed down through the generations. You can pretty A Toronto much bet if your parents made a point of going to The Ex on the tradition air show weekend because that’s what they wanted to see, you will returns now be taking your own kids, or maybe even grandkids, to also see the air show.

Others make attending on Warriors Day or for the Labour Day parade a part of their family traditions.

Respecting those traditions has been one of the reasons the CNE continues to be so successful and holds a special place in the hearts of Torontonians.

The Ex, though, is not bound by tradition as it is also the place to see the newest innovations and products. The CNE also makes sure it offers new events and experiences every year, and this year one of them is the Craft Beer Fest, which takes place for the first time this summer.

Though often referred to as bittersweet for kids who start counting the days until school starts again, the CNE is far from the only thing going on in Toronto over the remaining days of summer.

Just a quick look around shows us this weekend has the Scarborough Afro-Carib Fest at Albert Campbell Square, the Tirgan Iranian Festival at Harbourfront, Ukrainian Independence Day at Centennial Park in Etobicoke, and the Tommy Thompson Park Butterfly Festival in the Beach to name but a few.

Transit not Toronto’s only election issue

T

here’s a federal election coming up on the distant horizon. For now, the talk on Toronto airwaves is about criminal justice, cheques, and other matters related to the Mike Duffy trial.

At some point in the long weeks leading up to Oct. 19, one hopes that talk will centre closer to Toronto and our needs.

Earlier in the summer, Mayor John Tory held meetings with representatives of the Liberals and New Democrats, and earlier in the year spent time making Toronto’s case to the federal Conservatives.

As he pointed out then, things were looking pretty good for Toronto: two of three parties were committed to funding his Smart Track transit plan, and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau appears to be waiting for the right time to say so.

So really – for Toronto, there is no downside.

david nickle the city Well, that would be the case if transit weren’t the only story.

Toronto has other needs that only the federal government can properly meet.

We could use ...

We could use help with our crumbling stock of affordable housing.

We could do with a federally-funded national child care program.

And back at transit – once we get finished building a Scarborough subway along about the same route as the Smart Track plan, we’re going to need money for the downtown relief line that everyone agrees is the really crucial transit improvement.

These all should be, at

some point, deal-breaking or –making policies in making a rational choice for our next prime minister.

As matters are unfolding, however, a rational, Toronto-centric choice is not what will be on most Toronto voters’ minds.

If voters were taking simple enlightened selfinterest into account, then the child benefit cheques that the federal Conservatives sent out just before the writ was dropped should have had some impact on polling for them.

While it’s early days in this very long election, it’s a safe bet that voting Torontonians will be dividing along lines more familiar from the

past couple of elections: Harper Nation, if you will, and the remainder of the city looking to turf the bum out.

That divide was in evidence when Harper stopped by Etobicoke (ground zero for that other Nation) in the company of an angry, foulmouthed man who swore at reporters and suggested they all cheated on their taxes.

From another part of the city, I and other Torontonians watched the display with a horrified recognition.

Many elections ago, former Prime Minister Kim Campbell made the point that elections were no time to discuss issues.

Those things get sorted out afterwards, when we’ve all gotten the bile out of our systems.

Downtown digital classroom for youth is up to code JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With more and more employment opportunities arising in computing and technology, a new class is looking to help create the leaders of tomorrow.

BrainStation Academy sees 40 Toronto-area youth aged 13 to 18 heading to King and Spadina on weekends this August to learn the ins and outs of coding.

Additional youth cohorts of 30 students each are studying the same curriculum in Waterloo and Vancouver, and the skills they learn will help give them a leg up in an increasingly competitive job market.

The academy is offered up by BrainStation, a digital learning centre founded by Jason Field, which is now a part of the Konrad Group, which bills itself as a global leader in enterprise digital strategy, design and development.

“At its core, BrainStation has

always been about empowerment, and this is the first time we’ve put a program together specifically for youth,” Field said. “With support from our partners (AOL, Paypal and Deloitte), we’re able to offer it free of charge.”

The students are given hands-on training in a classroom setting in the Konrad Group’s offices. While they are asked to bring a laptop to use to learn code, students who cannot bring one of their own can borrow one.

He noted that catering the class to youth was an important step in BrainStation’s goal of expanding computer literacy.

“The excitement around technology really has to be there for people to get the most out of what we’re teaching, and with young people, the excitement is definitely there,” he said.

“We’re all used to being in this world as users (of technology) but those who understand it more have the ability to create, to use it to

... I had planned on trying to learn coding myself. This is definitely better than trying to teach myself.

scale their thoughts, their causes, their clubs.”

The organization offers

adult classes, though there is a cost associated with those.

While this August’s classes

mark the first BrainStation Academy youth classes, Field said there are plenty of plans to expand.

“This is sort of a simulated summer camp experience, but we want to cater it around the high school schedule,” he said.

“We want to offer this program over Christmas break and over March break as well.”

Further expansion could see BrainStation Academy expand to cities such as New York and Chicago, and to Latin America. Field added that while the program is currently taught in-class, it seems a natural fit that it will someday be offered as an online course.

Student Katherine Tang was excited to have the chance

to learn coding, and to have the class come free of charge made it that much better.

“In high school, I didn’t really have a chance to study computer science just because of the way my courses went, but there’s so much technology around us, I wanted to learn instead of just taking it for granted,” she said.

“I always want to have a basic understanding of how the world operates, so I had planned on trying to learn coding myself. This is definitely better than trying to teach myself.”

Tang said she plans on using the skills she learned to help build out FuturFund, an organization she started up in high school to help students learn financial skills.

“Being able to build a website and use the Internet ( m o re f u l l y ) w i l l h e l p FuturFund reach more young people,” she said.

For more information on the issue of sex trafficking, including a link to this Covenant House video, visit www.covenanthousetoronto.ca/homeless-youth/ Sex-Trafficking

Half of Canada’s charges in Toronto

>>>from page 1 “We think the province has done great work in this area, but there’s still more that could be done with law enforcement, supporting victims and public awareness,” said Bruce Rivers, Covenant House executive director. “We’re appealing to the province for a more coordinated approach to dealing with the victims.”

The downtown organization has released a video highlighting the problem, telling the story of a teen who falls in love with someone who winds up selling her for sex. The video is a dramatization of a real story and demonstrates the victims of sex trafficking are not necessarily at-risk or homeless youth.

“There are misconceptions around it,” Rivers said.

“Pretty well every time you have a conversation about it, people say ‘you’re talking internationally’ or ‘these aren’t our kids,’ but that’s just not the case.”

The issue of sex trafficking is particularly acute in Toronto. Between 2006 and 2011, more than half of Canada’s sex trafficking charges were laid We want more in the city, with victims averaging 17 years of coordination in helping age and some being as victims and in holding young as 13.

“You know if this is perpetrators to account. happening in Toronto, – Bruce Rivers there’s activity in Peel, in Durham, in York (region),” Rivers said.

Covenant House Toronto has created an online petition and will send the signatures to Premier Kathleen Wynne in time for the resumption of the Legislature in September.

“We want more coordination in helping victims and in holding perpetrators to account,” Rivers said.

While the issue is serious – and harrowing – there is some movement in the fight against human trafficking. Toronto police’s human trafficking unit has stepped up its efforts in recent years and witnessed an increase in arrests of 360 per cent between 2013 and 2014.

Covenant House is doing its part, too, creating a transitional housing program for up to seven young women looking to get away from being trafficked for sex.

Now, Rivers said, the impetus is on Torontonians – and all Canadians – to push for stronger measures to keep young people from falling victim to sex traffickers.

“Part of what we’re hoping to do with the video is to heighten awareness,” Rivers said.

ONTARIO GOVERNMENT NOTICE NOTICE OF DETAIL DESIGN COMMENCEMENT Replacement of the Avenue Road Bridge over Highway 401 – G.W.P. 2087-13-00 Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study THE PROJECT AECOM has been retained by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to undertake a Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the replacement of the Avenue Road Bridge over Highway 401. The project limits are located in the City of Toronto.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS The Avenue Road Bridge over Highway 401 will be replaced with a new structure that will generally follow the existing alignment of Avenue Road and maintain the existing Highway 401 interchange configuration.

The new bridge will be four lanes wide to accommodate two (2) northbound and two (2) southbound lanes. Existing and future traffic volumes do not require a separate deceleration lane for the ramp to Highway 401 westbound therefore this lane will be eliminated but the connection to Highway 401 westbound will remain. During construction it is anticipated that one through lane will be maintained on Avenue Road in each direction and pedestrian access will be maintained on one side of the bridge. No other long-term lane or ramp closures are anticipated.

THE PROCESS This project is following the approved planning process for a Group ‘C’ project under the MTO Class EA for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). An Environmental Screening Document (ESD) will be prepared to document the study process, design details, consultation undertaken during the study, and potential environmental issues and mitigation measures. The ESD will not be made available for public review and comment, but can be made available to interested persons upon request.

Day of action planned by transit advocacy group

It was the hottest Aug. 17 on record in Toronto, with a temperature of 32. The previous record for Aug. 17 was 31.6 C, set in 1998.

Monday’s humidity made it feel like 39 C. The record breaking temperature was observed at 4 p.m.

The boys of summer are still at it. The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Barrie Baycats had split the first four games of their Intercounty Baseball League (IBL) best-of-seven semifinal playoff series going

into the fifth and sixth games on Tuesday and Wednesday, both of which went beyond our print edition deadlines.

Barrie and Toronto finished first and sixth, respectively, in the regular season.

A seventh game, if necessary, would be held in Barrie tonight.

The baseball Leafs play out of Christie Pits. Admission is free.

Complete schedule and scores at http://theibl.ca

The city’s largest transit advocacy group is recruiting volunteers to act as “route captains” to engage transit users at bus stops and subway stations, advocate for local service improvements and lobby city councillors to speak out in favour of better TTC funding.

According to group spokesperson Suhail Barot, the

recruitment drive is meant to give voice to a mass of transit riders, particularly with transportation a key issue in the upcoming federal election, and a TTC fare hike all but sure for next year.

“One-point-eight million people take transit in Toronto every day,” said Barot during an interview this week.

“If we can get them engaged we can really build a movement.”

The group is planning a day

of action on Monday, Sept.

13 and will canvas approximately 50 transit locations on the importance of better funding for the perpetually cash strapped TTC which has reported a preliminary operating budget shortfall of nearly $100 million for next year in the wake of announcements to improve and restore service to pre-2011 levels.
