Crisis team approved for TEGH

Field hockey battle

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com East York, where police shot a man in the grip of a psychiatric crisis this year, has been promised a special team to stop such tragedies happening in the future.

The Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network, which funds health care in East York, granted the request after hearing appeals from community members and police in a Sept. 26 meeting.

“The LHIN told us we had lit a fire under them,” said Beaches-East York Councillor Janet Davis, adding she received a letter last week confirming the decision.

“I think very clearly the voice of the community was heard.”

It’s a remarkable outcome, she added, considering the hospital’s two previous requests at the LHIN for a Mobile Crisis Intervention Team (MCIT) based at Toronto East General Hospital were unsuccessful.

Michael Eligon was admitted to TEGH in February for a mental health assessment, but wandered away and was shot by police on Milverton Boulevard while he was wearing a hospital gown and carrying pairs of scissors.

In other areas of Toronto MCITs, which combine specially trained police officers and a psychiatric nurse, can be sent to where persons experiencing a mental health crisis require an intervention for safety’s sake.

Making a presentation to the LHIN last month were Dr. Jane Pritchard, a family physician who lives on Milverton, Supt. Frank >>>STRONG, page 18

A salute to our newspaper carriers

T

his is International Newspaper Carrier Week.

Around the world, boys and girls, men and women deliver critical community information in a timely fashion, whether it’s news or advertising flyers.

We certainly appreciate the dedication of our newspaper carriers at The East York Mirror.

Why would someone become a newspaper carrier?

It’s a wonderful proving ground for a young person to develop life skills. It’s an excellent opportunity for an older carrier to earn money and feel satisfaction of a job well done while serving the community.

Here are six experiences that benefit a carrier: • Responsibility: A newspaper carrier accepts the challenge our view of satisfying their customer every single time they deliver a Carriers deliver newspaper to a doorstep. Being a newspaper carrier means one the news to has a commitment to customer our community service – and learns quickly the importance of reaching the customer’s doorstep with the newspaper each and every time.

• Handling money: For many carriers, having a newspaper route means the first time having a bank account. This develops yet another key life skill in a youth.

• Small business sense: The better customer service, the more smiles from customers. Miss a delivery and you deal with the complaint. A good carrier generally benefits with more tips from customers too!

• Confidence and sense of achievement: Being a carrier means tangible achievement every time a route is delivered. Every thank you from a customer teaches a carrier good work is rewarded. Knowing you deliver your route on time every time gives a carrier confidence and satisfaction of knowing a job inside out and doing it well.

• Discipline: Residents wait for their newspaper.

Calls for missed deliveries come in mere minutes after the time a customer usually gets their newspaper. The discipline developed through delivering a newspaper carries over into discipline in other life tasks.

• Understanding community: Your community newspaper is your window to community life. A carrier brings that life to your door. As a carrier, you get to know the people on the route – friends and neighbours – and that brings a neighbourhood community a little closer together.

So being a newspaper carrier is much more than simply taking a wagon through streets to put pieces of paper on the doorstep.

It’s ensuring a product that adds value to life in the community gets to the people of the community.

We salute our newspaper carriers and wish them much sunshine as they deliver their newspapers and flyers this week.

To the editor: Re: ‘Community housing report stands chance of success,’ The City, Sept. 20.

I do agree with columnist David Nickle’s observations that the report titled “Putting People First” will in all likelihood be accepted by council.

However, I do not agree with his quite obvious disdain for our mayor and his attempts to turn the tide in Toronto.

Yes, Mayor Rob Ford continues to blunder along with a great number of either poor or misdirected attempts at controlling the middle and the left on city council. One of his largest blunders was to appoint Councillor Ana Bailao to head up the housing task force. It was obvious to even an inexperienced observer that the decision would come back to haunt him.

I do not fault our mayor for this, simply his advisors and the leftists on council who are pushing him to compromise.

Leaders do not gain a consensus, they lead.

East York a good example of Toronto’s motto

O

ne of the reasons why I enjoy living in East York is being able to live on a street with a diverse group of people.

My street has people from a wide range of backgrounds, be that economic, social or nationality.

When you walk down the street and you see new homes, old homes, some which are new and expensive and others that are more humble.

The same with the people, with some being on fixed i n c o m e s, o t h e r s b e i n g salaried, and some being professionals and business owners.

Du r i n g t h e w e e k d a y mornings it is always interesting to see the diversity of people heading off to undertake whatever tasks or employment they are connected to.

On the weekends it’s good to see my neighbours out

watchdog

working on their houses and talking to each other.

What is also enjoyable about the street is that it has a sense of peace about it.

People talk to each other in pleasant tones, saying hello when they see each other, and making an effort to be civil.

Recently, many politicians and senior police officers have been saying things about different communities in the new city of Toronto that has left me shaking my head.

As we know, there has been a terrible plague of violence that has increasingly resulted in death and serious injury to both those involved

and innocent bystanders.

Yet somehow the resolution of this problem now rests upon the shoulders of what is being called “the black community”.

Each day when I look out and see people with various colours of skin coming home on my street, I don’t see them ending up in a different community.

I see them living in exactly the same community as I do, which is the community of East York.

Likewise if a neighbour of mine who comes to me for some help, I would never be able to live with myself if I said to them, “I’m sorry, I can’t help you because you must take care of your own

community.”

Yet this is what we seem to be hearing from some politicians and senior police.

However, the reality is that the violence our youth are experiencing is everyone’s problem to solve.

My street and other streets in East York show that community peace can be found in the diversity and co-operation of its members, no matter what their background is.

We certainly live up to Toronto’s motto of “diversity our strength” in practice.

Carrier Appreciation Week

Newspaper carrier recognized for her dedication CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com For the last 22 years, Malti Gupta has braved wind, snow, sleet and rain to deliver newspapers for Toronto Community News (TCN) every week to as many as 1,000 of her neighbours – and no matter the weather, she always does so with an infectious smile on her face.

“If we had 500 of her, we would be 500 times better. She’s just one of those really great carriers that we wish we had more of,” said Donna Umpleby, a circulation manager with TCN, which publishes nine community newspapers across Toronto.

“She’s just a great lady with a great spirit and great personality. Malti’s always positive. She’s a perfect example of what a carrier should be.”

As TCN’s longest standing carrier, Gupta is being recognized for her dedication during this week’s International Newspaper Carrier Week.

The annual appreciation week honours the hundreds of thousands of men and women like Gupta who make such an important contribution to the industry.

“Our carriers really are the lifeblood of what we do here at Toronto Community News,” said TCN’s Director of Circulation Mike Banville, noting TCN’s workforce of more than 3,000 carriers aged 10 to 90 deliver more than a million papers weekly to the communities of Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Bloor West Village, Parkdale-Liberty Village, York, East York, Beach-Riverdale, and City Centre. “They are so, so important to what we do.”

For Gupta, who began carrying for The Scarborough Mirror on Feb. 6, 1990, the job has been one that was born of convenience and has grown into a passion over the years.

“When I started, I wasn’t getting the paper.

All of my neighbours were, but I wasn’t,” she said.

On our cover Mirror carrier Gordon Lidgold has also been honoured as one of Toronto Community News’ top carriers.

He has been with TCN for seven years and has an unblemished delivery record.

His photo was taken by staff photographer Dan Pearce.

When she called TCN’s offices to explain her conundrum, one of The Mirror’s then-managers inquired as to whether or not Gupta would like to take on the problem route herself – and thus guarantee herself delivery every week.

Gupta, who was running a daycare out of her Scarborough home at the time, readily agreed.

And the rest, as they say, is history. Gupta, who came to Canada from India in 1970, began by delivering The Mirror 22 years ago to just the houses on her street, but as time went on and she garnered a reputation for reliability, her route steadily grew.

At her peak, she was delivering more than 1,000 newspapers two times a week.

“Meeting people in my community has been the best part of the job for me. Plus, it’s the best exercise – I’ve maintained my weight,” she said, laughing.

Now a grandmother of seven, Gupta has trimmed her four-hour route down to 615 houses. But still, Gupta loves her job and doesn’t plan to retire her route until she moves from Scarborough – and so far, she and her husband of 47 years have no plans to relocate. “I love walking and I love meeting people, and that’s what this job is all about,” she said simply.

Also being recognized by TCN this week for their long-standing service are carriers Margaret McFarlane and Selvaratnam Jesuthasan, who have both served as carriers for 19 years.

Gordon Lidgold (on our front page) has been nominated as an outstanding carrier.

He is an extremely dedicated carrier with

Malti Gupta is the longest-serving carrier for Toronto Community News. For 22 years, she has made sure more than 600 homes in Scarborough get their newspapers.

7 year’s service and boasts an unblemished delivery record. Gordon can be called upon to help substitute when needed, and the home owners on his route praise and appreciate his dedication.

RSVP: 416-469-1105 by October 16th

t’s not quite fair to say that Toronto Council utterly disgraced itself last week as it dealt with the devastating report

by Toronto Ombudsman Fiona Crean on the city’s flawed and hamstrung public appointments process. At the same time, if this council were your parents, you would have done everything possible to avoid bringing your fiance home for Thanksgiving dinner this year.

It’s almost sad to bring it up again, in the same way that families like city council don’t a week later dig at the way the turkeyand-scotch grudge match between Dad and Uncle Lothar ruined the holiday for the rest of the family.

So yes – the entire family that makes up Toronto Council did not disgrace itself. But faced with a report that sharply critiqued both the mayor’s office and some councillors who sit on the civic appointments committee, a small but significant rump of the ruling party smeared

THE CITY

david nickle

muck over the entire institution.

Crean’s report said that the mayor’s office had interfered in the 2011 civic appointments process to the point that city staff were unable to do a fair job. It found that the mayor’s staff had attempted to force staff to boycott a newspaper not in the mayor’s favour, and to remove any mention of diversity from city advertisements. The report said that in one case, a potential appointee to a board had a conflict of interest, and when staff attempted to deal with it, an unnamed councillor, since identified as York West’s Giorgio Mammoliti, threatened staff members in a closeddoor meeting.

The response from Mammoliti and some

others was classic Thanksgiving-dinner attack strategy.

Mammoliti began the debate by questioning Crean’s political neutrality. When this provoked an overly-angry response from Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks, which Perks later apologized for, Mammoliti huffed about the sorts of violent acts he might perform on his out-of-line colleague.

Mammoliti explained that it wasn’t so much Crean’s neutrality as that of the rest of city staff that was the problem, then came back and accused the ombudsman of being deliberately provocative.

The one thing we can be thankful for, looking back at this disgraceful display of civic behaviour, is that there’s no hard liquor available in Toronto Council chambers. n David Nickle is the Mirror’s City Hall columnist.

Community

WoodGreen celebrates opening of new recreation space WoodGreen Community Services celebrated a special milestone recently with the grand opening of its new Amica Helping Hands Recreation Space at 721 Broadview Ave., just south of Danforth Avenue.

Part of the Health and Wellness Centre for Older Adults, the new room will offer a range of wellness services like Nordic pole walking, tai chi, line dancing and other social and recreational activities for able-

bodied seniors.

The recently renovated space, which features new floors, doors, lights and audio-visual equipment as well as freshly painted walls and a new drop ceiling, was made possible through a $42,000 donation from Amica Helping Hands, a not-forprofit organization that raises funds to assist and support seniors in need.

Wall mirrors will also be installed in the space in the near future. A

colourful mural is also planned for the new “great hall” in the coming months.

Colin Halliwell, chair of Amica Mature Lifestyles Inc., which operates 23 retirement residences across Canada, said the organization’s 10-year-old charitable arm – Amica Helping Hands – was looking for projects it could contribute to and WoodGreen’s new recreation room for seniors was a great fit.

“We were looking for suitable recipients for the funds and we saw the perfect match with WoodGreen,” said Halliwell, adding fostering wellness and vitality in seniors is at the core of his company’s mandate.

“We’re just thrilled the seniors here are going to be able to use (this space). At the end of the day, it is for them.”

WoodGreen’s president and CEO Brian Smith said the new Amica

Helping Hands Recreation Space would be well used by active seniors in the city’s east end.

“We’ve been really fortunate to have Amica retrofit this space,” he said following a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “It’s just a great place for people to stay active and well, and to make friends and connections.”

For more information, call WoodGreen at 416-645-6000.

breastcancerawarenessmonth Cook, entertain, and fundraise together Fall isn't just a great time to reconnect with family and friends after the summer, it's the perfect opportunity to support a great cause like the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF), especially in October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

With Cook for the Cure, presented by KitchenAid, you can combine entertaining with fundraising. Whether it's an intimate dinner or full-fledged family affair, you can turn your fall gathering into a Cook for the Cure party by asking your guests to make a donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in place of traditional hostess gifts.

Register your party online at www. cookforthecure.ca and KitchenAid will

donate $50 to help the cause.

“Cook for the Cure parties help me share my love and passion for food with my friends and family while supporting a great cause,” says world-renowned chef Lynn Crawford.

To help you get into the spirit and host

your own Cook for the Cure party here's how you can add some fall flair with an autumn inspired menu.

Pumpkins: Nothing says fall like a pumpkin pie straight from the oven, but there is more to pumpkins than just pie.

Why not try pumpkin soup, which makes a delicious appetizer and can be prepared in advance and heated up when needed. As an added bonus, pumpkins are also great for you, since they contain carotenoids that help reduce the risk of cancer.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon is an ingredient in many delicious fall recipes, but why not make cinnamon the star. Cinnamon cookies can be a delicious dessert or party favour for your guests, while remind-

Early detection of breast cancer can improve survival rates and lessen the severity of treatment options. Routine mammograms are essential to catching signs of breast cancer early on but so can homebased breast exams.

Different breast cancer organizations have different views on the subject. Some studies have indicated that a BSE is not effective in reducing breast cancer mortality rates. Others feel that a BSE is a good practice, considering that roughly 20 percent of breast cancers are found by physical examination rather than by mammography, according to BreastCancer.org.

For those who are interested in self-exams, here is the proper way to do so.

Begin with a visual inspection of the breasts. Remove clothing and stand in front of a mirror. Turn and pivot so the breasts can be seen at all angles. Make a note of your breasts’ appearance. Pay special attention to any dimpling, puckering or oddness in the appearance of the skin. Check to see if there is any change in symmetry or size.

Continue the examination with hands placed by the hips and then again with your hands elevated overhead with your palms pressed together.

Next you will move on to a physical examination. To begin examining the breasts, place the hand and arm for the breast you will be examining behind your head. Use the pads of your pointer, middle and ring fingers to push and massage at the breast in a clockwise motion.

Begin at the outer portion of the breast, slowly working inward in a circular motion until you are at the nipple. Be sure to also check the tissue under the breast and by the armpit.

Do the same process on the opposite breast. Note if there are any differences from one breast to the other.

If you find any abnormalities, mark them down on an illustration that you can bring to the doctor. Or if you can get an appointment immediately, draw a ring around the area with a pen so that you will be able to show the doctor directly where you have concern.

It is a good idea to conduct a BSE once a month and not when menstruating, when breasts may change due to hormone fluctuation. Frequent examinations will better acquaint you with what is normal with your breasts and better help you recognize if something feels abnormal.

Strong case made for crisis team Eckler re-opening slated >>>from page 1 Bergen of Toronto Police 55 Division, who testified to the importance of crisis teams, and Kathy Johnson, a resident who spoke about having a child with mental health issues.

Their appeal was backed by a petition of 500 signatures and the support of at least 40 organizations in East York, Davis said.

The health authority approved several community-based programs or projects for mental health but

promised to “expedite” the MCIT at TEGH so it would be the first project underway, she said.

A LHIN panel of experts has meanwhile begun a series of meetings with hospitals and police across the City of Toronto to develop a common operational model for the crisis teams and determine how to extend coverage across its area of responsibility.

“We know that one of the biggest problems is that there are service

gaps across the LHIN, such as in East Toronto,” said a statement Tuesday from Sharon Navarro, a spokesperson for the LHIN. While the LHIN and its partners ultimately favour coordinating MCITs with mental health and addiction services across the city “instead of one-off siloed teams at different hospitals,” Navarro added that, “we are moving forward to put some immediate services in place in East Toronto.”

The Matty Eckler Community Recreation Centre, at the corner of Pape Avenue and Gerrard Street will celebrate its grand re-opening Saturday afternoon.

From 1 to 4 p.m., community members are invited to the local centre for an afternoon of fun activities including a free leisure swim from 2:30 to 4 p.m. and a barbecue.

There will also be face painting, games and crafts for the kids.

All are welcome to attend.

This Halloween, hand out something more than a treat.

Last September, the City of Toronto closed the centre at 953 Gerrard St. E. for a major upgrade, which included making the second floor wheelchair accessible, upgrading all mechanical and electrical systems, replacing the ceiling, refinishing the interior and installing new pool lighting.

The retrofit was done as part of the City of Toronto’s “State of Good Repair” program. For more information, call 415-392-0750.
