Yonge Street Mission hosts first open house

DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com “It’s a simple thing, right?”

That’s Nick Kouvalis – the marketing and campaign manager who helped Rob Ford win the mayor’s race in 2010 – on the trick to running a winning campaign for the top political job in Toronto, and arguably the highest-profile municipal

post in Canada.

Getting that post routinely requires a war chest of more than $1 million and a commitment of all or most of a year to a political marathon that has defeated cabinet ministers, CEOs, city councillors and even former mayors as they vie for the hearts, minds and ultimately votes of almost three million Torontonians.

The finish line for the upcoming marathon campaign is a little over a year from now: Oct. 27, when Toronto voters decide on a new council and mayor.

And rumors are swirling as to who is likely to run. Ford has indicated he will run, and New Democrat MPP Olivia Chow and Councillor Karen Stintz are said to be working on assembling campaign teams.

Demo Deal

Many people who know the programs offered by the Yonge Street Mission do so because they have few other choices. A new initiative by the downtown organization plans to change that.

The mission is opening its doors for its first-ever open house, inviting the public in to see some of its programs, which serve children, youth, seniors and the homeless and underhoused, among others.

Jon Brandt, Yonge Street Mission director of development, said the reasons behind the organization’s first open house were twofold.

“One is that we have a new CEO (Angie Draskovic) and this is a chance to introduce her to a broader circle of people so they can get to know who she is and where we’re headed,” he said. “The second reason is that people know about us, but they don’t really know what we do. We’re fairly well-known among our (downtown) community, but we want to spread a broader awareness outside that community.”

The mission hopes to draw in new donors and show existing donors what their dollars are going to support. >>>VISITORS, page 2

Cancer survivor will Run for the Cure on Oct. 6 Top fundraiser discovered her breast cancer ‘by complete fluke’ JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

A

s is the case with many participants in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure, downtown Toronto resident Molly Scott has a strong personal connection to the cause.

The Run for the Cure, a fundraising walk or run to help battle breast cancer, will see thousands taking part at sites across Canada.

Scott’s own involvement comes a couple of years after she was diagnosed with the disease.

“It came as a complete surprise,” she said. “On Oct. 2, 2010, I found a lump in my right breast by complete fluke.”

Scott felt an itch and then noticed the lump when she scratched it. At her mother’s urging, she went to see her doctor, who could not locate it at first.

“I had to show her where I’d noticed it,” Scott said.

“Think of how often doctors

miss these things. That’s why it’s so important to do self-exams – you know your body better than anyone else.”

She had surgery and went through gruelling chemotherapy and radiation treatments, all the while battling depression and fear over a variety of matters, from seemingly minor concerns to more severe, life-altering worries.

“I’m generally an upbeat, positive person, but that changed when all of a sudden I discovered I had cancer,” she said. “It sounds superficial, but I was worried I’d lose my hair; I had always had long hair. I’d heard that chemo can push women into menopause, and I’m still young.”

She also worried about everything from the possibility of having to have a mastectomy or double mastectomy to the possibility she might lose her home and her busy job in sales as a result of lengthy treatments.

“It was a very, very emotional period for me,” she said. “I had amazing support from my family, friends and work but there were also times when I was very, very lonely.”

Her treatments were also debilitating – simply walking up the stairs to her loft was difficult and she experienced bone pain that made simple acts such as putting on a blazer agonizing.

Despite that, Scott remained at work even as she was receiving treatment.

“It was perfect because Princess Margaret was so convenient and close to where I live and work,” she said. “Partway through my day, I could go to Princess Margaret from work, then go right back to work after that.”

Eventually, a social worker intervened and forced her to step away from her job, telling her that her recovery would take far longer if she did not take time to rest.

While has been cancer-

free since completing her treatments, she still suffers chronic headaches as a result of her chemotherapy.

This year will mark Scott’s fourth time participating in the Run for the Cure for the past three years – she had also participated once prior to being diagnosed – and her four young nieces will join her.

While she has been a top fundraiser for the cause in the past, this year she is focusing more on the support she is getting from family.

“It means so much to have them there,” she said.

“The oldest, Macy, is eight and last year, that little girl didn’t let go of my hand for the whole 5K. She held it so tight.”

Toronto’s Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure will take place at the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus on Sunday, Oct. 6.

What we’d like to see in 2014 municipal race

W

hile 13 months may seem like a long time away, Toronto’s next municipal election and the race for who will be the mayor come Oct. 27, 2014 is actually coming fast.

In today’s edition, our special feature looks at some of the names being talked about as possible mayoral candidates. Considering that municipal candidates can register their nomination, start campaigning (and more importantly start raising money) as of Jan. 3, the time for voters to start paying attention is now.

As our story points out, running for mayor in Toronto has become a costly marathon requiring a huge amount of political and personal stamina, and about $1 million in funding.

The last mayoral race in 2010, which saw more than 30 candidates vie for the seat left open by the departing David Miller, had debates virtually every day in the final six weeks of a campaign, which was ultimately won by Rob Ford.

Ford will be running again, and we’ve identified some pos- our view sible challengers in our story.

It’s our hope, though, that the Wanted: a race 2014 campaign will be differthat brings us ent from 2010. That campaign saw the divide between our together city’s suburban communities of Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke and the downtown core ramped up for political gain.

Ford played that divide masterfully, tapping into the frustration felt by suburban residents toward Miller and his administration, which was perceived as downtown-centric. Yes, it was a winning formula, but we’d like to see a campaign focusing on bringing Torontonians together in 2014 rather than a polarization of our city’s communities.

We’d also like to see a race free from party politics.

We recognize Ford’s strong Conservative connections, and prior to that Miller’s association with the NDP, but it’s critical municipal politics stay free of the party system. It’s the only level of representation we have not linked to political parties and agendas that may not mesh with the needs of a specific neighbourhood or ward.

While high-profile mayor’s races attract voter interest, remember choosing your councillor is a critically important decision. These are the politicians in your neighbourhood, close to your issues, and who are approachable. Also, be wary of council candidates latching onto mayoral candidates in an attempt to ride their coattails. Councillors’ first priority should be the people of the community they represent, not their political allegiance to the mayor.

Subway extension: Time for Scarborough to forgive?

There will be property tax increases. We can expect congestion on the BloorDanforth subway line growing to a human traffic jam by the time trains reach Yonge and Bloor. Buses will be the booby prize for priority neighbourhoods promised stops on a light rail line.

‘Cheer’ Yet raise a cheer, Scarborough. Our government is finally building subways deep into Scarborough.

Those of us who take the Scarborough Rapid Transit (RT) line to the Scarborough Town Centre will no longer face the insult of sporadic service and several escalator rides at the Kennedy station transfer to the BloorDanforth subway line.

We will be able to clutch a pole from Yonge Street all the way to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road one day, where, if our

david nickle the city mayor’s luck holds out, we will one day be able to hang tight as the subway wheels around and heads back west beneath the condotower-shaded pavement, right back to Yonge Street.

But let us not get ahead of ourselves, Scarborough.

For now it is enough that we are building a subway – one that replaces that clanking, wheezing toy-choo-choo-train insult of a conveyance, the Scarborough RT. It is, let’s be honest, almost more of an affront than no transit at all.

The new subway will be less of an affront than that, surely.

If all goes according to the latest, cobbled-together plan, the three-stop subway to Sheppard will in fact be a proper apology: a $3 billion box of chocolates from neglectful old city hall, beg-

ging forgiveness for staying out late and spending all Scarborough’s hard-earned money on lattes and film festivals and parades and fancy waterfronts.

So Scarborough, subway in hand, might it perhaps be time that we offered up some proper forgiveness?

Poor relation Perhaps we should abandon that narrative that has so long defined Scarborough: that it is forever treated as Toronto’s poor relation, living with naught but the threadbare hand-me-downs and the withering contempt of its so-called betters.

Glenn De Baeremaeker, the Scarborough Centre councillor who along with TTC Chair Karen Stintz helped push his colleagues on council to abandon the multi-stop light rail line to travel that route, suggested Monday that the subway “will bring Scarborough into the family, finally.”

So yes, forgiveness. That is what family does.

Which means that when it next becomes necessary for Toronto to expand transit, and Scarborough is faced with perhaps watching its tax dollars go to building a downtown relief line – in part, to deal with the crush of riders on the newer, longer BloorDanforth line – it would not be out of place to cultivate a certain magnanimity.

Should the light rail lines that are also to be built in Scarborough – along Eglinton and Sheppard Avenues – turn out to be more help than hindrance, it might be gracious to say so.

Grievance, complaint, anger and envy: these are surely feelings of the past now, at least in Scarborough.

Surely, the subway to Sheppard has made it all better.

PEARSON.

Amount recommended we pay per passenger

$.94

Amount we offered to pay

An independent advisory panel recommended that Billy Bishop be “taxed” the same way as Pearson Airport – on a per passenger basis, and that $.80 was a fair amount. We offered to pay the same amount as Pearson - $.94 per passenger – or 17.5% more than the recommended amount. But we don’t think it would be fair to ask our passengers to pay one penny more of tax to the City than they pay when they fly from Pearson.

������� ������� NAME: Olivia Chow CURRENT POSITION: New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for Trinity-Spadina BIOGRAPHY: Olivia Chow came to Canada from Hong Kong with her family in 1970. She was first elected as a school trustee in 1985, then was elected to Metropolitan Toronto Council in 1991 along with her husband, fellow New Democrat Jack Layton. The pair were elected to Toronto council at amalgamation, where Chow worked as council’s children’s advocate. Chow ran twice for the federal seat in Trinity-Spadina before joining Layton, then leader of the NDP, in Ottawa in 2005. Following Layton’s death in 2011, Chow has continued as MP for Trinity-Spadina.

NAME: Rob Ford CURRENT POSITION: Mayor of Toronto BIOGRAPHY: The son of former Conservative MPP and Etobicoke businessman Doug Ford Sr., Ford first joined Toronto council in 2000 as councillor for Ward 2 (Etobicoke North) and became mayor in 2010. Ford has made a name attacking what he sees as government waste and personally returning calls from residents.

He has also been at the centre of a litany of controversies including allegations of drug use.

NAME: Shelley Carroll CURRENT POSITION: Don Valley East councillor BIOGRAPHY: A former community activist, Shelley Carroll got her start in politics as a Toronto District School Board trustee in 2000, finishing her single term there as co-chair. In 2003, she was elected to Toronto council in Ward 33 (Don Valley East). After spending her first term on council chairing the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, Carroll was picked for budget chair in 2006 and was a major ally of Miller.

When he announced he wasn’t running in 2010, the longtime Liberal considered a run but decided against early in the election year. Through this term of council, Carroll has been one of Ford’s sharper critics.

NAME: Karen Stintz CURRENT POSITION: Eglinton-Lawrence councillor and chair of the Toronto Transit Commission BIOGRAPHY: Karen Stintz was elected to Toronto council in 2003 after famously answering an advertisement from a local ratepayer organization seeking a candidate to run against incumbent Ann Johnston. Stintz considered and rejected a run for mayor in 2010. Instead, she became chair of the Toronto Transit Commission, where she earned Mayor Rob Ford’s enmity opposing his Sheppard subway plan in favour of the existing light rail plan, then in 2013 championed another Scarborough subway – along the Scarborough RT line.

NAME: Adam Vaughan CURRENT POSITION: Trinity-Spadina councillor BIOGRAPHY: Son of the late CityTV journalist and politician Colin Vaughan, Adam Vaughan worked as a television journalist at CBLT and CityTV. During his tenure covering city hall, former mayor Mel Lastman famously threatened to have him “killed” because he believed (falsely) that Vaughan had leaked information about a shoplifting incident involving Lastman’s wife. Vaughan ran for Toronto council in 2006 in the ward left vacant by Olivia Chow, winning the race against NDP candidate Helen Kennedy. He has been one of Ford’s most vociferous critics since 2010.

Running for mayor takes lots of stamina

NAME: John Tory CURRENT POSITION: chair, CivicAction and CFRB radio host BIOGRAPHY: John Tory got his start in politics working for former Ontario premier Bill Davis and has worked for former prime ministers Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell, before leading Rogers Media and Rogers Cable. After coming in second in the 2003 mayor’s race, Tory went on to lead the Ontario Progressive Conservative party, then host a popular afternoon radio show on CFRB 1010. Tory supporters made preparations for a second mayoralty run in 2010, but he backed out of the race early that year.

NAME: David Soknacki CURRENT POSITION: columnist with Metroland Media Toronto, President of Ecom Food Industries Corporation BIOGRAPHY: David Soknacki is a Scarborough business owner whose company Ecom Food Industries imports spices. He served a single term on the old Scarborough Council from 1994 to 1997, then returned to politics in 1999, filling former Scarborough mayor and councillor Frank Faubert’s seat in a byelection following his death. In 2003, he was Miller’s budget chief, and oversaw the first three budgets of that administration. In 2006, he left politics to return to his business and chair the Parc Downsview Park’s board.

NAME: Denzil Minnan-Wong CURRENT POSITION: Don Valley East councillor, chair of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee BIOGRAPHY: Denzil Minnan-Wong is a veteran of municipal politics in North York.

He was first appointed to North York Council in 1994 to fill a vacant seat in Don Mills. A longtime Progressive Conservative, MinnanWong was among Miller’s more active critics and is one of Ford’s most trusted allies. He currently sits on the Executive Committee and chairs the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee. While he is loyal to Ford, he has differed from the mayor on occasion – notably, in not supporting a casino in downtown Toronto earlier this year.

>>>from page 1 of those campaigns. But as to the challenge of running a winner? “A simple thing,” he says.

“You have to have a message that you’re communicating that the plurality of voters accept. You have to identify your voters, know who they are and get them out to vote.”

That, in essence, was the formula Kouvalis used to propel Ford across the finish line, in a race that was considered former Liberal Health Minister George Smitherman’s to lose in early 2010: A blitz of robocalls, telephone town halls and shoe-leather to identify those voters who agreed with Ford’s mantra of stopping the “gravy train” of out-of-control public spending, and make sure they came out on election day.

By election day, the Ford campaign had a detailed list of supporters.

It’s unlikely that list will be as much use four years later, Kouvalis acknowledges, given what he calls “the distractions” of Mayor Ford’s current term. But the larger divide continues to persist: Ford’s support is strongest in suburban communities and weak in the downtown core.

Andrea Adario, who served as press secretary on Miller’s 2003 campaign, says any contender in 2014 is going to have to address that divide.

“The city needs a mayor who’s really going to unite most of the municipalities post amalgamation in a way we haven’t seen yet,” she says.

“Any candidate needs to be visiting every corner of the city and getting into a headspace where they can comfortably be the advocate of all parts of Toronto. The mayor needs to be seen as a downtown candidate or an Etobicoke candidate.”

Adario said given the gruelling pace of a Toronto election, any candidate also needs stamina.

Once nominations open Jan. 3, 2014, candidates will have to balance fundraising and low-level campaigning with what has historically been a gruelling number of debates.

“It was crazy,” recalls Adario. “We were debating nightly for sure. I would say there was a minimum of four a week, sometimes more. Everything from local ratepayer associations to big debates sponsored by news outlets.”

On his radio show, Ford has indicated he doesn’t intend to attend nearly as many debates as he did in 2010.

“There are risks as well as benefits,” says Adario. “You risk having the conversation unfold without you.... but he’s shown that he knows how to be disciplined and stay on message and he is a formidable campaigner. But it all depends on who else is running and whatever revelations we might have.”

Which leads to one other very simple truth about mayors’ races in Toronto.

“There are no rules,” says Kouvalis.

Blessing in a Backpack gives healthy food to students for the weekend JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

SO WHY ISN’T YOUR INTERNET?

With students now back in school, meal programs are helping to ensure many at-risk youngsters have healthy food throughout the week.

A program being run out of midtown Toronto is striving to ensure those same students don’t go hungry on weekends.

Blessings in a Backpack currently gets food into the hands of some 970 children and youth across the city, specifically in communities such as the Grange, Parkdale, Downsview, Humber and Scarborough.

“The kids we serve are considered food insecure, which means they’re struggling with hunger,” said Karen Green, executive director of the Toronto branch of Blessings in a Backpack.

“They get a backpack filled with food every Friday and they return it to us empty on

Monday.”

The food in the backpacks is purchased through donations, with the organization making the most of discounts and donations from food suppliers.

While the organization strives to make the food as healthy as possible, the students must also get items that are as easy as possible to prepare.

“Often, these kids don’t have homes or stoves,” Green said. “They’re living on people’s couches.”

Blessings in a Backpack originated in the U.S. and came to Toronto in 2008, helping students at two schools in the city.

The organization has

expanded ever since – it was affiliated with eight Toronto schools last year and is looking to expand to one more this year.

Though Blessings in a Backpack does not publicize the schools it works with due to privacy concerns, there is little question it would be welcome in more schools.

“I don’t know if we could ever feed every kid that needs it,” Green said.

The program is heavily reliant on donations and volunteers. Green said the organization relies on personal donations and foundation grants, with no government funding.

“It only takes $100 to feed a kid for a full (school) year based on the discounts and donations we get,” she said.

The organization also accepts gently used and new backpacks.

Downtown girl guide leader treasured summer trip to Kenya JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com A summer trip to Kenya through Girl Guides of Canada proved to be right up downtown Toronto resident Erin Hamanishi’s alley.

Hamanishi went on the trip as a guider – a Girl Guide leader – along with two guides as part of the Girl Guides’ series of nationally sponsored trips.

As part of the trip to Kenya, Hamanishi and the girls fulfilled three goals: adventure travel, experiencing a new culture and service learning.

“Those goals go along with the goals and ideals of guiding itself,” said Hamanishi, who has been involved with the Girl Guides of Canada since she herself was a guide as a young girl.

While Canada sent only three participants to Kenya,

they joined up with Girl Guides from around the world, including from Kenya itself.

“One of the coolest parts of being a participant in a trip like this is getting to meet people from so many different countries,” Hamanishi said.

“We met girls from Kenya who go to the Kibera Girls Centre in a slum in Nairobi.”

She noted taking a trip to Kenya alone met the adventure travel goal, but pointed

out there was far more to it than that.

“We went hiking and saw zebras in the wild, and we camped out at the bottom of the (Great) Rift Valley for a night,” she said.

The group stayed with host families throughout most of the trip, which helped them immerse themselves in the Kenyan culture.

“Just living with them, cooking with them in the

evenings and seeing how they lived really showed us how different life is over there,” Hamanishi said.

They also volunteered with the Kijabe Environment Volunteers (Kenvo) to plant trees and share knowledge about growing them. That task suited Hamanishi perfectly.

“The work we did in Kenya is in line with my career,” she said. “I’m finishing my Ph.D. at U of T and my research has

been looking at the effects of stress on poplar trees, so I got to transfer my knowledge about (tree planting) to people there.”

Hamanishi was one of a select few guiders to be selected to participate in the Girl Guides of Canada’s nationally sponsored trips program, which also saw Girl Guides visit destinations such as England, Newfoundland and Switzerland.

Thirty-two Toronto schools to be fitted with solar panels CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com Mu c h n e e d e d r e p a i r s to rooftops of 32 public schools, including Hodgson MS and Rosedale Heights School of the Arts, will begin immediately as part of Toronto District School Board’s (TDSB) Solar Schools Project, which launched this fall.

The TDSB will be working in partnership with Potentia Solar Inc., which received 311 Feed-in Tariff (FIT ) contracts from the Ontario Power Authority to develop a qualifying renewable energy project.

Revenue generated by installing solar panels on school roofs will be used to fund 4.3-million square feet of school rooftop repairs over

the course of the project.

“We need to reach out. We need to understand we can’t do everything ourselves,” said TDSB chair Chr is Bolton, noting partnerships are key to addressing some of the board’s infrastructure needs.

“Given our budget constraints, it’s getting to the point where we can’t simply just depend on the Ministry

(of Education) for funding.”

Bolton announced the project last Thursday at Maple Leaf Public School near Keele Street and Hwy. 401, one of the 32 schools in need of roof repairs. Solar panels will later be installed at 311 TDSB school roofs starting next spring.

“We are in fact more integrated into the community

because with the power we’re generating, it’ll all go back into the grid,” said Bolton.

Chris Asimakis, president of Potentia Solar Inc., said the total cost of school roof repairs and the eventual installation of solar panels will be $200 million.

“We believe in renewable energy,” Asimakis said.

“We believe there’s massive benefits for the prov-

ince. It makes sense for both parties.”

Donna Quan, TDSB education director, applauded the partnership and pointed out the added benefit to young people like the Grade 5 students at Maple Leaf PS of gaining an environmental education.

i

Diabetes, Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), hypertension and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are just a few of the chronic diseases nearly 20 million Canadians are living with today.

The diseases are more common in, but not exclusive to, seniors.

The good news is that, when well-managed with medication, lifestyle choices and paying attention to early warning signs, people with chronic diseases like COPD (which causes shortness of breath and frequent coughing) and CHF (which causes shortness of breath and swelling in the legs) can enjoy a good quality of life.

And there’s help. Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) assists people to stay at home longer, while helping them manage chronic diseases and other major health issues.

Telehomecare is offered free of charge to clients of the Toronto Central CCAC and select CCACs throughout Ontario. It monitors patients from home using technol-

ogy, helping people living with these chronic diseases.

Each day, Telehomecare patients use special equipment to check their blood pressure, weight, heart rate and pulse. Using a computer tablet, they answer simple questions about how they’re feeling that day. The information is sent automatically to the Telehomecare office.

Their nurse reviews this information and speaks with the patient by phone if the numbers or symptoms are cause for concern. The Telehomecare nurse also has direct contact with the patient’s family doctor.

Telehomecare includes weekly coaching sessions, in which the nurse educates the patient about their chronic diseases, and early warning signs indicating they should call their doctor – before they need emergency care.

Most importantly, take action to stay healthy when you have COPD and CHF: • Follow your doctor’s instructions for how to take your medication • Eat healthy foods (with CHF, avoid salt) • Wash your hands often – to reduce your chance of picking up germs • Exercise daily – simply walking around the block or in the house helps

• Balance activity with rest.

Even with a chronic disease, the choices and actions you take can make a big difference to your everyday health.

If you, or someone you know has COPD or CHF, Toronto Central CCAC offers these tips: Early warning signs for COPD and CHF – contact your doctor as soon as possible: • A new cough, or a cough that lasts a long time • Weight gain • Shortness of breath especially when you are making an effort (e.g., exercising or going upstairs) • New or increased tiredness • Ankles more swollen than usual • A fever of 38°C or more Severe symptoms – go to an emergency department immediately: • Chest pain • Severe dizziness • Confusion,

can’t

think

clearly, or very agitated (upset) • Very short of breath • Fainting

Last week TTC began diverting Leslieville buses to assist

A new line of retro-subway gear pays homage to the short-lived “interlining” era of the TTC. The idea was to integrate both Yonge and newlyopened Bloor-Danforth via a junction of switching tracks, making it possible to board a train and ride it between lines without having to transfer. The plan was shelved in mere months.

Forest Hill author writes first novel about a hero during the Holocaust

“

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com When she first learned the story of little-known Second World War hero Franciszka and her daughter Helena Halamajowa, first-time author J.L. (Jenny) Witterick felt it would resonate with the general public.

She could not have been more right.

Witterick’s debut novel, My Mother’s Secret, spent three months on the best-seller list a month after she self-published it.

It follows the stor y of the Halamajowas as they risked their own lives to hide Jewish survivors and even a defecting German soldier in the town of Sokal.

“In the fall of 2011, I attended a documentary (No. 4 Street of Our Lady) as part of Holocaust Education Week and when I saw the film I was blown away,” the author said. “It was unbelievable that this woman and her daughter hid Jewish families, but also hid a German soldier.”

For her debut novel, Witterick – who normally works in the investment business – decided to make it accessible and easy to read for readers of all ages by modelling her own writing style after another successful author.

“I thought ‘what’s the best-selling young adult book today and it’s The Hunger Games – it’s written in a way that you can’t put it down,” she said.

My Mother’s Secret shares similarities with that book, from sparse descriptions of landscapes to the fact that people are defined by their actions and choices more than by any other means.

“I read (The Hunger Games) five times to help guide my own writing.

The structure and storyline were something I was comfortable with,

inexpensive indulgence

It would have been a gross injustice not to do a good story on a story like this one. I spoke a lot with Holocaust experts to make sure my facts were good and authentic

The perfect balance

– J.L. Witterick

so I tried to write the story with that kind of pace.”

The book also takes on a firstperson point of view, sharing the story through the eyes of Helena Halamajowa, as well as a young Jewish father, an eight-year-old boy and the German defector.

While her retelling of the Halamajowas’ story is a fictionalized account of a true story, Witterick had no intention of simply writing a hit book. She took great pains to ensure she did the story itself justice.

“It would have been a gross injustice not to do a good story on a story like this one,” she said. “I spoke a lot with Holocaust experts to make sure all my facts were good and authentic.”

The author, who lives in the Forest Hill area, first moved from Taiwan to Canada with her parents in the 1960s. She was seven at the time, and the family only had $200 in their pockets.

“When my son found out about the book and what it was about, he

said ‘mom, you know you’re Asian, right?” she said. “I think the fact that I wrote this story shows how universal the story is. You see a lot of personal sacrifice as the main theme of the story.”

While Witterick was initially turned down by every publishing company she approached – she financed the book herself for its first printing because she was so passionate about the story – My Mother’s Secret has since been picked up by Penguin Books.

That company will translate it into a variety of languages for worldwide distribution.

Witterick was thrilled to be signed

by Penguin and made a point of donating her advance from the publishing company to various charities to support literacy programs, help animals and fund research toward curing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease).

“I took the proceeds from a story about people doing the right thing and used them to help people and animals who were in trouble,” she said.

My Mother’s Secret is currently available in retail stores everywhere, online and in e-book format.

Toronto Mooredale Gold the best boys U-13 team in the province SEAN DURACK active@insidetoronto.com A midtown soccer team has emerged as the best U-13 boys team in the province this season.

The Toronto Mooredale Gold team won their Ontario Cup championship, in the top Tier 1 division on Sunday, Sept. 15 at Oshawa Civic Fields, 5-3 over the Brampton Blast White team.

“

They defiinitely rose to the occasion, that’s for sure.

– coach Shane Lammie

Mooredale scored all of its goals before the game was a half-hour old in amassing a 5-2 lead at that point.

The midtown team was led by a pair of goals from Joey Bougeois with single

markers added by Justin Yarde, Ivan Nikolic and Max Weinberg.

“They definitely rose to the occasion, that’s for sure,” said head coach Shane Lammie.

Mooredale advanced to the provincial championship game with a 3-0 semifinal win in late August over Markham Lightning.

In that game, the goals were all scored late with a

pair from Jack McBain and a single marker added by Oliver Wales.

As a result of the Cup title the team has earned the right to compete in the Ontario Youth Soccer League (OYSL), the premier youth league in

the province.

Player roster includes Jared Augustin, Jaiden Smith, Kai Martin, Jordan Morenzie, David Kim, Rohun Kawale, Adam Wood, Justin Yarde, Christian Berry, Jack McBain, Hilli Goldhar, Marco

Pannozzo, Oliver Wales, Emmanuel Ellis, Ivan Nikolic, Joey Bourgeois, Michael Thorton and Max Weinberg.
