Mom develops memory app to aid daughter My Memory App offered for free in the iTunes store for the remainder of April – Autism Awareness Month CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Christina Buczek isn’t your typical tech-savvy app developer.

But when it came to creating My Memory App for Emily – her severely autistic, developmentally delayed and essentially non-verbal 19-year-old daughter – what the Etobicoke mom lacked in coding and development expertise, she made up for with heart and determination.

“Emily has a very limited vocabulary and she also has what is called an impaired working memory,” explained Buczek, noting her daughter is also unable to write and lacks the dexterity for sign language, which severely impacts her ability to communicate even her most basic of needs.

“So there are many times she’ll come up to us with this sort of pleading look on her face indicating that she wants something, but because she doesn’t know the word for it, she’ll just stand there and expect us to somehow come up with the word that she wants.

It’s frustrating for her, and it’s heartbreaking for us.”

What Emily does have, however, is a good visual memory – one that, with enough repetition, allows her to remember certain words and names, those of her favourite teachers at Lucy McCormick Senior School among them.

Every morning upon her arrival at school, Buczek explained, her daughter tries

her best to greet everyone she meets, but needs to be prompted to the names of all but those teachers she interacts with all day.

“What struck me is Emily remembers certain people’s names because of the degree to which she’s heard them repeated over and over. If she interacts with you daily, she’ll remember your name – it takes a long time to get there, but it’s possible through repetition,” she said.

“So I started to look for

an app that would enable us to practice that – to link the names of the people in her life with a photograph of that person and an audio recording of their name, so that she could start to make those connections.”

What Buczek found while searching for such an app on iTunes, however, was disheartening.

Not only were the communications apps purportedly aimed at people with autism expensive – ranging in price

from $50 to more than $300 – they were also complicated and cumbersome.

“Some of best known ones are great, but they are definitely not meant for someone with a cognitive delay. They’re quite complex and chock full of grids with multiple illustrations and symbols,” she said. “For someone like my daughter, that would just not be something that would be readily accessible.”

And so, the idea for My Memory App – “a memory

trainer and aid for people suffering from impaired shortterm memory” – was born.

Buczek enlisted the help of her 21-year-old son Elliot and soon the pair were consulting with education specialists, doctors and speech therapists.

“I wanted to create an app to be as customizable as possible and as simple as possible.

Simplicity was really the key function that I was looking for, because I wanted Emily to be able to use it,” she said, noting that, in addition to people with autism, My Memory App is also suitable for those with developmental delays, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and age-related memory loss.

The app’s simplified screen features a library where users can store their own pictures of the people, places, actions, things and foods most common in their lives – as well as labels marking their written names and a voice recording of the name of the person or item.

Buczek said the app can come in handy when, for example, Emily is hungry or thirsty, but can’t summon the words to ask for what she wants. They can simply pull out the app, go into the library of foods, and Emily can then tap on the photo of the food or beverage of her choice – be it a banana or a glass of water – which then prompts her to say the word herself with its audio recording.

Those photos, along with their accompanying labels and voice recordings, can also

Charity helps integrate people with autism into society

The Ausum Charity for Autism is set to host its inaugural fundraiser Saturday, June 4 at 7 p.m. at The MOD Club, 722 College St. United for Autism 2016: A concert for Autism Awareness will feature the musical styl-

ings of three local bands – Big Night Out, The SUVs and Jeff Eager as well as a slideshow showcase art created by some autistic individuals.

Founded in 2015, Ausum Charity’s goal is to help integrate autistic individuals into

society by providing funding to low-income households for Intense Behavioral Intervention (IBI) therapy.

Ausum Charity’s founder, Yojna Gupta, not only recognized a gap in provincial funding, but also found that

applicants often encounter long wait times to receive IBI therapy from the government. By making timely funding available to qualified families that require financial assistance for that therapy, the organization aims to fill

be used to play the popular Memory Game – the rewards for winning that are also customizable, Buczek said.

“A lot of apps, what they see as a reward – a pop-up screen saying ‘Good Job!’ – are irrelevant to people like my daughter,” she said. “What my app allows teachers to do is find the motivator that is right for their student. For example, a lot of students, like Emily, like to watch videos on YouTube, so you can type in a five-minute YouTube session as their reward.”

In honour of April being Autism Awareness Month, Buczek has been offering My Memory App – regularly priced at US$1.99 – for free all month in the iTunes store.

So far, the app has been downloaded more than 500 times by people across the globe.

“What’s really neat is when I open it and see there were downloads from all over the world,” she said, noting that My Memory App has been downloaded in China, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, South Korea, Europe, Brazil and even Tajikistan.

“Seeing that my app appears all over the world is really rewarding to me. To think that I’m potentially helping people help others a world away – that’s really exciting.”

Bloor bike lanes the correct path to improving safety

Write us

T

oronto councillors may feel they will have a tough decision to make when they meet next week.

Absent any advice from the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, councillors will have to decide whether to launch a pilot project on Bloor Street West to see whether a short stretch of that road can endure and maybe even benefit from a bikeway, separated from car and truck traffic.

Watching the strained debate that took place Monday at the committee, one might think the decision would strain even the wisdom of King Solomon.

Bloor Street is a significant east-west artery, and removing the lanes from car traffic will cut automotive access in half. At the same time, climate change and a growing population dictate that we cannot continue to encourage fossil our view fuel-burning cars and trucks in our downtown without offering safe alternatives. Yes, it’s another Dedicated battle of car versus bike.

We hope that when this comes lanes make to Toronto council, councillors streets safer will stand down from the battlements and take a rational look at this very rational plan to consider expanding our city’s cycling network.

The pilot project is just that – an experiment to see how Bloor Street and the surrounding neighbourhoods would fare if the city were to install cycling infrastructure similar to the separated bike lanes on Sherbourne Street, and on Richmond and Adelaide streets. The separated lanes have worked out well there, in some cases tripling the number of cyclists using the routes.

That’s impressive enough. But there is another more immediate reason for trying separated lanes on Bloor.

As it stands, the street is dangerous for cyclists.

Between 2008 and 2012, the stretch of road in question – between Shaw Street and Avenue Road – has had an average of 22 collisions a year. Most of those were dooring, followed by a motorist trying to pass a cyclist and a motorist driving into a cyclist out of onstreet parking.

Separated bike lanes would reduce those types of accidents. It would make all Torontonians safer.

That, in and of itself, is worth a look when it comes to this pilot project. Council only has one choice.

Roots of Bombardier streetcar deal go back to 2009 When Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) chair Josh Colle and CEO Andy Byford stood up Monday to talk about Bombardier and the missing light rail vehicles, they didn’t want to dwell on the past.

On the one hand, it’s an odd subject to avoid, given the trouble the city is having with its elusive new streetcars is very much a consequence of past decisions.

On the other hand, the business of the day on Monday had nothing to do with repudiating past administrations, and everything to do with delivering Bombardier Transportation the most scathingly public single-star Yelp! review possible.

Bombardier had it coming.

The Montreal-based company should have, by the schedule of delivery, provided a total of 73 new streetcars delivered to the TTC by the end of 2015.

Actually delivered in that time? Fourteen. And as of

david nickle the city today? Seventeen.

There were problems, mostly to do with a decision by Bombardier to outsource production of some of the custom parts to Mexico.

But Bombardier had assured the TTC that they were ironed out, and promised to have 54 delivered by the end of 2016.

On Monday, Bombardier made it clear, via a new CEO, that if they work very hard they can guarantee 13 additional vehicles will be delivered by the end of the year.

That means the TTC will likely have to refurbish even more of its stock of older streetcars, adding to the $34.1 million it’s already spending to do so because of the earlier backlog.

Bombardier’s covering that much. But because of the contract the city signed,

it is only liable for $51 million in costs due to delay. It is here, of course, that one is led straight to the past – specifically, to 2009, when former mayor David Miller convened a special council meeting during a long civic strike, to ink the $1.2-billion deal with Bombardier that would eventually go so very wrong.

Toronto paid a larger portion of the purchase price than it should have, as Ottawa turned down a request to pay for a third of the bill, and it came at the cost of deferring certain capital projects.

It was a competitive bidding process, but an imperfect one, as the only serious competitor – the Germanowned manufacturer Siemens – struggled with Canadian content requirements and effectively disqualified itself with an untenably high bid.

And Bombardier won the contract, with a requirement for only 25 per cent Canadian content and as it turns out a sweetheart of a

contract.

It’s hard to say what Miller’s city government might have done differently. Perhaps held out for more bidders? Enforced a larger Can-Con rule to keep production out of Mexico, or done away with it entirely and forgone funding that was dependent on it? Or just paid hundreds of millions more for the same number of streetcars to a foreign-owned company with a good record?

This, perhaps, is another reason why Byford and Colle aren’t too quick to blame the Miller regime for the decision. In the end, going with any of those options involved taking a chance on one of a range of options.

And while it might not always turn out the case, in this case the least expensive, most tempting option, was the worst bet.

Hard work keeps the cogs spinning at North Albion C.I. Robotics team heads to world competition CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com The robotics team from North Albion Collegiate Institute (NACI) is making history this week with its first-ever appearance at the FIRST Robotics World Championships.

Known as the Super Bowl of high school robotics competitions, this year’s medieval-themed championships kicked off yesterday at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri with more than 600 teams from around the world.

“I’m looking forward to going to St. Louis and winning,” Team Captain Devashish Desai, 16, told The Guardian at lunchtime Monday, just hours before he and eight of his teammates boarded a bus for the nearly 12-hour drive.

“This year’s competition has been the best one for us yet, so I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

night at school prototyping, designing, building and programming their robot, The Tumbler.

“During the build season, we’re typically here till 10 p.m. every night

– so that’s an additional six hours a day at school, five days a week, that these students were putting in,” said teacher supervisor Donna Lim. All that hard work paid off in March when Team 2935’s solid performances at a pair of regional tournaments made them world qualifiers two times over.

This year’s competition, FIRST Stronghold, had more than 3,000 teams from around the world vying for one of 600 places at the worlds by squaring off on medieval-themed battlefields in which their robots could score points by breaching their opponents’ fortifications, weakening their opposing towers with ‘boulders’, and capturing their opponents’ tower .

Despite qualifying for the worlds as a wild card during the Greater Toronto East Regional competition, held in Oshawa, Team 2935 was determined to test its mettle at a second tournament. The only thing holding them back was money.

“Usually we only do one regional, because it’s so expensive. We’re in a neighbourhood where the parents aren’t going to be able to just give you a couple hundred dollars,” said Lim, noting that the registration fees for

FIRST competitions alone are $5,000 US – the cost of which is borne by the TDSB, but only for one regional tournament per school.

The team fundraised to go to a second tournament, held in North Bay late last month, and won it.

To reach their fundraising goal, the team relied on their business team – headed by Grade 11 student Khushi Tailor – which launched a GoFundMe campaign, at www. gofundme.com/NACIRobotics, and secured sponsorships from the Rexdale Community Hub, Crystal Fountains, Zone Six and The Albion Centre, among others.

Securing support through fundraising, Lim said, will be key to the NACI team going forward – especially if they want to continue competing on the world stage, where their competition this year includes NASAfunded and mentored teams.

“A lot of the other teams depend pretty heavily on outside mentors, but we don’t have a lot of that. Our programmer this year is a Grade 11 student and he’s one of the best programmers we’ve ever had,” Lim said of 16-year-old Maninder Sran.

Metroland Media Toronto has reason to celebrate this week.

Two of its managing editors – Grace Peacock and Alan Shackleton – took first and second place respectively in this year’s Ontario Community Newspaper Association 2015 Better Newspapers Awards last Friday.

Grace Peacock, managing editor for the Etobicoke and York Guardians, and Bloor West Villager, took home the top prize.

Judges singled out Peacock’s ‘initiative’ and ‘innovation’ in the role she’s held since 2008.

“Keeping track of Grace Peacock’s numerous community undertakings is a little like counting kittens. Just when you think you’ve accounted for them all, another cute ball of fur emerges from under the couch. Grace scored highest in initiative and innovation because she did more than lend a helping hand, she led the parade, all in the service of her newspaper and her community. Also, she is excellent at her job. In fact, if there is a better word than “excellent,”

Construction season is here!

RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Get ready for a busy season of road closures and delays Toronto, because getting around during the warmer months will require patience and planning.

“There’s going to be a lot of construction taking place in our city this year,” said public works chair Jaye Robinson. “Much of our infrastructure is well past its service life.”

On Tuesday, April 26 Robinson and staff from the city’s transportation services department unveiled a list of major construction projects planned for 2016, requiring co-ordinated road closures.

This year’s workload is greater than last year’s due to the number of projects deferred for the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, said transportation infrastructure director Frank Clarizio.

Some of the work, including the replacement of 100-year-old sewer pipes on Gerrard Street from Yonge to Sherbourne

be detours caused by annual events like Pride and Canada Day festivities. Unlike last year, there won’t be any reason to stop condo construction for a few weeks, as was the case during the Games.

“This is all important work, and the city cannot have 120-year-old watermains out there. If we don’t replace them and there’s an emergency, then basically we have a problem,” said Steve Buckley, director of transportation.

The city has budgeted more than $550 million for construction this year: $263 million for road, expressway and bridge repairs, and $227 million for upgrading sewers and watermains.

Expect more days of around-the-clock construction work, and aggravation for residents, in order to get projects finished ahead of schedule, Robinson said.

“It’s short-term pain for long-term gain,” she said.

“But staff is diligent about addressing concerns and we try to reduce the jackhammering to hours which aren’t disruptive.”

OPEN SUNDAY 10AM-4PM

Close to 400,000 young people to soon access free dental care >>>from page 1 include: checkups, cleaning, fillings, X-rays and urgent or emergency oral health issues.

Ontario integrated six publicly funded children’s dental programs into one making 70,000 more children and youth eligible with a simplified enrolment process, the government stated.

Baker said health care is one of the most-important issues for his constituents and proper dental care is no exception.

“Part of that is ensuring children in need get early access to good oral health as it can make a positive impact on overall health for years to come,” Baker said.

“I’m pleased to see that changes to the Healthy Smiles program are improving access to thousands more children and families in need of dental services.”

Baker attended the E g l i n t o n Av e n u e We s t and Royal York Road area junior school armed with hundreds of Proctor & Gamble-supplied Oral-B toothbrushes, which he handed out to students after his talk.

Westmount students sat cross-legged on the wooden gymnasium floor listening, and enthusiastically participating, as Baker talked about the importance of good oral hygiene.

The little hands of 200 or so children darted up quickly when Baker asked them if they thought taking care of their teeth was important, and again when he asked how many of them brushed their teeth every day.

When the MPP mentioned Sesame Street had been one of his favourite shows as a child, a loud “ooooooh” rose up from the floor.

Baker played “Healthy Te e t h , He a l t h y Me — Brushy, Brush,” a Sesame Street YouTube PSA for the kindergarten to Grade 5 students.

Elmo wears green and white polka dot pyjamas in the 90-second video as he tells children to get their toothbrush and sings “brush, brushy, brush, brushy, brush,

Who’s eligible?

Children are automatically eligible for Healthy Smiles Ontario if they or their family receive: n Ontario Works, nTemporar y Care Assistance, n Ontario Disability Support Program, or n Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities; or if they are 17 years of age and under, live in Ontario, and come from a household with a household income equal to or less than the levels in the table below: n 1 child ($22,070 or lower) n 2 children ($23,740 or lower) n 3 children ($25,410 or lower) n 4 children ($27,080 or lower) n 5 children ($28, 750 or lower) n 6 children ($30,420 or lower) n 7 children ($32,090 or lower) n 8 children ($33,760 or lower) n 9 children ($35,430 or lower) n 10 or more children (Add $1,670 for each additional dependent child to determine the income level at which your family would qualify for Healthy Smiles Ontario.)

Source: www.ontario.ca brush”. Children brush their teeth, as do their parents, joined by Elmo’s celebrity friends, including Bruno Mars, Nicole Kidman and Jay Sean.

“I like to go to the dentist.

I went recently so they could take out a cavity,” said Grade 4 student Duncan Liddell, nine. “It hurt a lot. They put a needle in my mouth.”

“Very inspiring” is how Grade 5 student Jenna Abouelalla, 10, described Baker’s talk.

“I’m sure more kids will go to the dentist now because of this program,” she said.

“I like to go to the dentist.”

Dentist Dr. John Glenny, whose dental practice is near Kipling Subway Station, mesmerized students with his big, five foot-tall red

toothbrush.

Glenny taught students “two for two is what we do,” meaning brush twice a day for two minutes each time.

The dentist also talked about the importance of brushing, flossing, eating healthy foods and visiting a dentist regularly.

“There are a lot of families in Etobicoke who can’t afford dental treatment,” Glenny said in an interview. “For the government to expand the program means more children will be able to see a dentist and have their procedures covered.”

The Ontario Dental Association responded positively to the government’s decision to streamline the six separate publicly funded children’s oral care programs into one, Dr. Victor Kutcher, president of the Ontario Dental Association, said in a statement.

“Eliminating duplication and creating a single program means more children and youth can go to school with a healthy smile,” Kutcher said, adding the association will continue to work with the government “to ensure sustainable and equitable funding for dental programs.”

Ontario’s health minister said Tuesday the government’s expanded Healthy Smiles Ontario program is aimed at enhancing children’s overall health.

“We are making it easier for children to get the dental care they need because having good oral health and a healthy smile can have positive impacts on a child’s overall health, selfesteem and ability to learn,” Dr. Eric Hoskins said in a statement.

While tooth decay is one of the most-common childhood diseases, “it is preventable with proper dental care, and our expanded Healthy Smiles program is helping more kids access these important services,” Hoskins added.

The health minister encouraged Ontario families to visit www.ontario. ca/healthysmiles to learn if they’re eligible and to enrol in the program.

City sought bike funding to no avail It turns out Toronto did apply to a provincial program for bike funding after all.

Last week, Metroland Media Toronto reported the provincial government had handed out $10 million to 37 municipalities for cycling infrastructure, but nothing for Toronto. At the time it was unknown whether Toronto had applied for funding, which provides up to 50 per cent of the cost of a single project. This week, Toronto Cycling director Jacquelyn Hayward-Gulati confirmed $52,000 was sought to cover half the cost for an “Automatic Bike Counter Network to demonstrate the impact of the Toronto cycling network”.

Questions were raised as to what will happen with the new Cherry service now that Bombardier has confirmed it can only deliver 13 more new streetcars this year.

New program provides emergency mortgage loans to homeowners On November 1, 2013, Expert Mortgage launched the “85Alive”program in Ontario. The concept was simple: as long as you had a pulse, Expert Mortgage would provide you with a home equity loan, up to 85 percent of the value of your property. No job required. Bad credit, OK. The reason why Expert Mortgage could offer a “no questions asked” lending program, while the major banks could not, is that they represent over 200 private lenders who lend strictly on property value. These subprime lenders specialize in mortgage clients who have had some bad luck, and need a helping hand until they get back on their feet.

The program has been so successful that Expert Mortgage can barely keep up with the volume of calls. To help fund this unexpectedly large number of borrowers, it has partnered up with dozens more private lenders.

Licensed Mortgage Agent Puneet Garg, Expert Mortgage’s “85-Alive” representative for the GTA Region, says, “We’re seeing mostly homeowners behind on mortgage and property taxes. The banks are refusing to restructure their loans. Many of these people have lost jobs due to the bad economy... or they’re self-employed. Unless you are a perfect applicant, the bank doesn’t want to talk to you.”

But not everyone condones Expert Mortgage’s easy lending criteria. A local real estate agent with 25 years of experience, who has asked to remain anonymous, says, “When this market turns down, it’s going to get ugly!

It’s utter financial suicide for Expert Mortgage to be giving money away so easily to clients without the ability to make payments. I’d be surprised if they’re still in business five years from now.”

Nonetheless, homeowners

like Anita P. don’t see a problem with the program. When questioned on how she plans on making payments on her mortgage when she has no income, Anita responds, “We were four months behind on our mortgage and they saved our house. My husband has been unemployed for nine months. He won’t be unemployed forever. We used the 85-Alive loan to pay off all our debt. We also had $25,000 left over that we put in the bank for emergencies.

And to make life easy, they worked it out so we have no mortgage payments for 12 months.”

Why Self-Identify?

T h e To ro n t o Bi c yc l i n g Network (TBN) kicks off its 2016 season on Mother’s Day weekend near the Old Mill.

The group will set off on its inaugural ride of the year Saturday, May 7 from Etienne Brule Park, 13 Crosby Ave., between 10 and 11 a.m.

There will be routes of various lengths and difficulties for riders to participate in.

Volunteers will be on hand to help participants choose a suitable route.

When students self-identify, the TDSB is able to gather demographic information to help guide the development of innovative programs and make informed decisions about how best to support Aboriginal students, promote success and well-being. The TDSB Voluntary Self-Identification for Aboriginal Students offers many opportunities including:

Students and parents/guardians can self-identify at any time during the school year, including kindergarten and school registration.

Please contact the office administrators at your school to update your student registration form. You can also call the Aboriginal Education Centre at 416.393.9600.

“If you don’t feel like you are connected to your Aboriginal side…it’s even more important for you to self-identify and become part of this community… you can become more in touch with that side of you, learn more about you, your family and your history.”

Toronto Council will have the final – and only – word on a proposed pilot project to build a separated bike lane on a small stretch of Bloor Street, after the city’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee emerged deadlocked from public hearings Monday.

Running on a bare fourmember quorum, the committee was split evenly between supporters of the pilot project.

Under Council’s rules of procedure, that means that Toronto Council will deal with the report on the pilot project without advice from the committee.

But the committee itself received plenty of advice – mostly from members of the public who strongly advocated setting up the pilot, which would see separated bike lanes installed on Bloor

A launch event happens from 9 to 11 a.m. where TBN members and non-members are invited to learn about cycling, win prizes and take part in group rides.

Representatives from Cycle Toronto and Velofix will be on hand to offer information and assistance as well.

“We’re offering a chance for cyclists to meet other cyclists, and explore some of the wonderful bike routes that this city has to offer,”

Street between Shaw Street and Avenue Road, beginning in September 2016.

“Torontonians want to ride, but they won’t do it unless we provide safe cycling infrastructure,” said Jarod Kolb, executive director of bicycling advocacy group CycleToronto.

Kolb was one of numerous deputants who noted that other separated bike lanes have dramatically increased the amount of cyclists on the road. Separated lanes installed earlier this term on Richmond and Adelaide streets increased bike traffic threefold.

The committee also heard from Gideon Forman of the David Suzuki Foundation, who argued that the bike lanes would encourage people to leave their cars at home.

“The research we looked at suggests that even if a small number of people shift, it can make a substantial difference

TBN communications director Ed Weiss said in a news release. “We really think we have something for every cyclist, whether you want to ride gently along the paved bike trails in the city, or prefer a longer ride out into the country.”

The usual $5 fee for nonmembers is waived for the kickoff event and for the entire month of May. To learn more, visit www. tbn.ca

in air quality,” Forman said.

The committee heard from bike clubs from some of the nine schools along the route, and from more agitated activists.

There were a few who spoke against the bike lane pilot project. David Turnbull, speaking on behalf of the Ca n a d i a n Co u r i e r a n d Logistics Association, said the lanes could complicate just-in-time deliveries to businesses in the area.

Resident Sarah Henderson said that cyclists should stay on existing lanes on Harbord Street, which was “fabulous for bikes.”

The bike lane pilot project would, if successful, pave the way for bike lanes extending further along Bloor Street, possibly east to the Danforth.

Vehicular lanes on the route would be reduced from four to two, with one lane of on-street parking.

Wendy Horton leaves legacy of cheering for the underdog Youth Without Shelter executive director retires after 12 years advocating for 16 to 24 year olds CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com In 12 years as executive director of Youth Without Shelter (YWS), she oversaw a $2.8-million construction project, expanded the Etobicokebased youth shelter from 30 to 50 beds and helped usher in the innovative Stay in School program, among many other achievements.

But when Wendy Horton looks back on her proudest accomplishments at YWS over the last dozen years, it’s the smaller, more personal triumphs that stand out in her mind.

“You know, some of my proudest moments are when I see a youth who has been struggling for years finally make it and go off to work looking all spiffy – that’s a pretty proud moment,” a smiling Horton told The Guardian at a retirement party held in her honour at the Crowne Plaza Toronto Airport Hotel on her birthday April 20.

“Those are more singular, personal moments, but they’re my proudest

moments because that’s what we’re really all about at YWS, right?”

Prior to coming to YWS in March 2004, Horton spent 18 years with the American Red Cross, working for the organization’s national office in Puerto Rico, as well as in the U.S. Virgin Islands and throughout Virginia and New England, where she served for more than a decade as executive director of the Merrimack Valley Massachusetts Red Cross.

Despite her credentials, former YWS board chair Mark Wiseman said the decision to hire Horton to head up Etobicoke’s singular emergency residence and referral agency serving homeless youth aged 16 to 24 was made difficult by her apparent lack of experience with youth.

“We knew she could organize things, but we thought we were taking a big chance when we hired her – and what a chance it was. Boy, I wish all of the chances I’ve taken in my life had paid off as well as hiring Wendy did,” Wiseman told more than 100 YWS supporters at Horton’s retirement event.

Staff photo/CYNTHIA REASON

Retiring Youth Without Shelter executive director Wendy Horton, centre, looks on during one of many tributes in her honour during her retirement celebration last week.

Soon after hiring Horton, Wiseman recalled approaching her to say: “Oh, by the way, we want to build a new shelter – the only problem is, we don’t have any money, we don’t have any land to build it and nobody in the city will give us zoning permission,” he recalled with a laugh.

“So essentially, right after Wendy came on board, she had almost no

time to get her feet planted when she was embarking on a fundraising project, a building project, a construction project, and tasked with starting the Stay in School program – and she had to do all of that while continuing to run the shelter 365 days a year. Wendy did all of that and never looked back.”

Speaking on behalf of YWS staff,

Brent Lawson said Horton will be remembered in equal part for her “incredibly steadfast administrative hand” and her devotion to the underdog – the latter best illustrated by the story of “Terry the Squirrel”.

“Anyone who’s been to YWS knows we have a lot of squirrels. Well, this one squirrel in particular had been maimed at a young age, probably by a predator, and was missing a limb. Anyways, Terry became sort of a house pet at YWS and everyone always looked out for him as one who struggled and we all rooted for him to thrive,” explained Lawson, YWS’ Food Services manager.

That was, until the day Terry was spotted in the grasp of a hawk on the YWS front lawn. Horton, Lawson said, was one of the first to run to Terry’s aid, defending the shelter’s resident squirrel with her shoe.

“Wendy was out there shouting at the hawk and throwing her shoe at it,” Lawson laughed. “The thing that really hits home about that story is how it shows how Wendy feels so deeply for the underdog...It’s her belief that absolutely everybody has value and we don’t give up on people – and that’s something she passes on down to us every day.”

4 Things You Need to Know When Buying a New Roof Shingle manufacturers have application manuals specifying how their products should be installed on your house. Your product warranty is supplied by the manufacturer, and could become void if the proper instructions are not followed when your new roof system and shingles are applied.

What you should know about roof surface or roof deck preparation: Your roof deck is the structural surface over which your roofing materials are applied. All roof boards and/or plywood must be fastened securely to the rafters, and damaged or rotten wood must be replaced. Your attic should be inspected before the work starts to uncover potential problems. A bad roof surface allows the nails to push up through the shingles, causing leaks.

What you should know about underlayment: A complete underlay system should be applied before your shingles are installed. There are two types of roofing underlay, waterproof and water resistant. leaks, the eaves edge of Waterproof underlay is needed in areas most vulnerable to leaks ound skylights. Wa the roof; in valleys, at dormer sides, around chimneys and around ater i i rooff area. resistant underlay, often called “tar paper”, is needed on the remaining Water resistant underlay protects the roof surface in a storm situation where a few shingles blow off, but cannot be replaced immediately.

5

What you should know about ventilation: Improper attic venting can cause your shingles to fail prematurely, and your product warranty requires that your attic have proper ventilation. Venting consists of intake and exhaust. To facilitate proper air flow, your attic needs intake vents located in the overhang and exhaust vents at the roof peak.

A balanced venting system is required; otherwise air will be pulled from your house. An inspection of your attic is essential to present appropriate and complete venting solutions.

What you should know about shingle quality: You have many shingle options with regard to style, colour, longevity and price. Estimators should include at least three grades of shingles and inform you of the real expected shingle life. In addition to their aesthetic appeal and longer life expectancy, better quality shingles often provide you with the best value when measured on a cost per year basis.

Beck Taxi’s fleet of 2000 vehicles - approximately three times the size of the nearest competitor - ensures prompt and reliable service no matter where you are.

“We offer great service to riders and to drivers so that everyone has a positive experience in a Beck Taxi. We are a team, and that is the secret to our success,” says Kristine Hubbard, Operations Manager.

For customer convenience, all Beck vehicles accept

2016 READERS’ CHOICE WINNERS payment by cash, app (including PayPal), debit and credit card, and personal or corporate account.

In an effort to best meet the changing needs of today’s customer, Beck Taxi was the first company in Toronto to develop a taxi-ordering app. It is now used more than 3000 times daily and has more than 100,000 downloads on iPhone and Android phones, with a mobile site for Blackberry users!

“The app offers a very user-friendly experience with a quick setup and no requirement to provide your credit card number but you can if you wish,” says Hubbard. “It tells you where you are based on your smartphone’s GPS and we send a cab. It’s a taxi in two taps!”

For more than 45 years Beck Taxi has continually developed new ways to make their customers’ commute more convenient.

Choosing the right windows Windows are a key component for comfort and beauty in any home. They also add to its value should you decide to sell. With so many options for replacing old windows, you’ll want to research your options carefully before you buy.

Given the high cost of replacing windows, the more you know, the better. With any window replacement, you want to think most about heat transfer.

All windows leak heat to some degree. In winter, warm air inside escapes through the glass; in summer, the heat outside penetrates the glass. With that said, windows today have come a long way with insulating values. They also offer features for safety and ease of cleaning.

consumer feature

Better quality windows are double- or tripleglazed, which means they have two or three panes of glass. Double glazed windows are adequate in moderate climates, or for southern exposures. If you live in a cooler climate, triple-glazed windows are a better option.

Better windows have an inert argon or krypton gas injected between the layers of glass. This greatly reduces the transmission of heat, also known as U-value. In addition, look for windows with Low-E glass, which means the glass is treated with a metallic oxide spray to cut down on UV light passing through the glass. The coating reflects heat in the summer and helps retain heat in the winter.

RE/MAX WEST REALTY INC., BROKERAGE

Lanterra Developments offers lush views and luxury at Riverhouse Condos Riverhouse Condominiums at the Old Mill makes life in the big city feel like a vacation. Surrounded by lush greenery with the Humber River just outside and the modern convenience of the Old Mill subway station across the street, these luxurious dream homes are a rare find.

Buyers’ last chance at indulgent living at Riverhouse is the 2,002 square foot, two-bedroom plus den Belvedere model. Priced from just over $1.5million, the Belvedere spans the entire west end of the building, boasting exposures to the north, west, and south, and a superior vantage point over the Humber River and waterfalls.

The spacious Belvedere suite includes a welcoming foyer, a bright and spacious dining room with a bow-shaped window, and an expansive living room and den featuring a two-sided fireplace and walkouts to the balcony.

The airy master bedroom in the Belvedere is fit for royalty, boasting multiple closets -including a walk-in closet- and an ensuite with marble counters, double sinks, a frameless glass shower and soaker tub. The Belvedere’s second bedroom is well-sized and also includes an ensuite washroom.

The residents of Riverhouse enjoy a higher standard of living and all that this serene setting has to offer. The suites feature top quality furnishings and workmanship sure to please one’s expectations, complete with upgrades including thicker granite countertops in the kitchen, crown moulding in the living room and dining rooms, as well as hardwood and porcelain tiling throughout the home.

At 11-storeys, this boutique mid-rise building

The Belvedere 2,002 sf.

offers an intimate community lifestyle. Built on elevated land, floors are raised to a higher elevation than their number suggests, offering residents scenic views of the surrounding nature.

Fitness enthusiasts will enjoy walking, jogging, cycling, cross country skiing, canoeing and kayaking in the area. There is also prime shopping nearby at Bloor West Shops and Kingsway Village.

The downtown core is about an 18-minute trip by subway, or add approximately 10 minutes to your commute if you prefer to drive.

Though there’s a lot to do and see in the area, there’s almost no reason to leave home. Amenities in the building include a salt water pool, hot tub, steam room, fitness room, library lounge, party room and caterer’s kitchen.

Suites at Riverhouse are available to move into as soon as the paperwork is complete. Some residents made the move in as few as three weeks, and Lanterra is able to accommodate each buyer’s needs and work with people who still need to sell their home.

Interested buyers are invited to call 416-7667343 to book an appointment with Carol McCague, Broker for Milborne Real Estate Inc. to learn more about Lanterra’s current exciting promotions.

2016 READERS’ CHOICE WINNERS 2016 2015

READERS’

CHOICE DIAMOND

Malfara’s Auto Service offers honest assessments for all Malfara’s Auto Service is proud to accept the Diamond Readers’ Choice Award for Best Auto Service. Owners Kelly and Joe Malfara would like to thank all readers who voted.

Though Malfara’s has been open in Toronto since 1972, the family-run business has only had their Etobicoke location since last October.

In less than a year, the popular service spot is already award-winning.

The Malfara family lives in Etobicoke, so they decided it made sense to open a second location close to home. Coincidentally, some of their regular clients also live in the area and were excited to stay in Etobicoke to service their cars.

Because of the competitive rates and individualized service, many clients travelled to Toronto to see Joe and his team.

The service shop is focused on the little details, ensuring visitors get the best experience possible. Malfara’s mission is to provide services that create a trusting and long-lasting relationship with every visitor. They take care in customizing visits and making sure each client is satisfied.

This means sitting down with visitors to discuss a car’s assessment and the budget available before starting any repairs or maintenance.

If necessary, visitors receive a free assessment to scan their car for any concerns. An honest recommendation for service is then provided, without any embellishments or unnecessary add-ons. Clients are given the option to proceed or not.

Malfara’s not only offers servicing, but is also a full service gas bar and used car sales dealership. An open house barbecue is planned for the spring to celebrate the new location.

Visit Malfara’s Auto Service at 500 Brown’s Line for any car-related service or inquiry.

For more information, call 416-255-5200 or visit www.malfarasautoservice.com.

2016 2015

READERS’

CHOICE DIAMOND

Honest and reliable service at Walter Townshend & Sons Walter Townshend & Sons is proud to accept the Diamond Reader’s Choice Award for Best Fireplaces and Equipment. Fourth generation owner Walter Townshend and his sons, Ron and Derek, would like to thank readers for voting and say they greatly appreciate the continued support from Etobicoke residents.

Not only was the local chimney and fireplace business voted #1, the company also holds the #1 registered Builders and Renovators Business License in the city of Toronto, Metro License B1, registered in 1925.

It’s no surprise Walter Townshend & Sons has been in business for more than 90 years. The company keeps things in the family, passing down knowledge from decades of experience. Walter and his sons currently work together on clients’ chimneys and fireplaces, his sister works in the office and his mother, who worked there for 50 years, still drops by to help out with paperwork.

The group works together to ensure clients receive the honest and reliable service they’ve come to expect from the Townshends.

For years, Walter Townshend & Sons has provided any service needed for fireplaces and chimneys, including installation, maintenance and cleaning.

THE ORIGINAL & FAMILY OWNED SINCE 1925

One thing has changed though since 1925 — fireplaces have made the move from only wood options to include popular, more efficient gas varieties. The team stays up-to-date on all new technologies and techniques by training at least once a year. This ensures all staff is knowledgeable and can provide top quality workmanship.

Ron recommends having a chimney checked every few years to ensure it is up to code and working properly. Regular fireplace cleaning is also important to keep uncontrolled fires from endangering the entire home.

Visit www.townshendchimneys.com or call 416-247-3337 to get a free estimate or learn more about chimneys and fireplaces.

Trouble hearing?

Are you having trouble participating in the conversation? Do you often have to ask people to repeat themselves? Do you tend to withdraw from social gatherings?

If the answer is “yes,” Jillian Price, chief audiologist of ListenUP! Canada, recommends that you schedule a free, no obligationhearingassessment.“Theimpact ofhearinglossonqualityoflifeissignificant.

An untreated hearing loss causes needless stress, anxiety and embarrassment. It may also lead to self-imposed isolation and even depression.”

ListenUP! is requesting your support for the National Campaign for Better Hearing – an initiative to encourage all Canadians 60 years and over to get their hearing tested and begin annually monitoring their hearing health. In 2015, they donated $2 for every hearing test they performed in order to provide hearing aids for those who could not afford them. They surpassed their goal to help the campaign raise over $100,000 and this year pledge to donate $4 for every hearing test to help raise the 2016 target of $250,000.

ListenUP! Canada is the largest hearing

aid provider in Ontario with more than 100 convenient locations, including Etobicoke at 190 Sherway Drive. All of their hearing centres offer free, no obligation hearing tests by certified hearing professionals and their latest brandname, digital hearing aids come with everything you need for three full years, lowest price and satisfaction guaranteed.

For the past 20 years, dentistry and the welfare of society have been Dr. Chopra’s passions. Aside from offering optimal dental care to the community, Dr. Chopra makes it her priority to give back to others.

During her years in India, she was an integral part of many free medical and dental camps organized by the Lions Club and the Rotary Club. Dr. Chopra often went to the rural parts of India and provided free treatment to many patients. The Indian army was also treated at her clinic for free as well as widows and orphans.

Handweavers and Spinners Guild turns 50, celebrates with exhibits Group hosts series of events open to public The Etobicoke Handweavers and Spinners Guild (EHS) is turning 50 and is celebrating with a series of creative public events at Neilson Park Creative Centre (NPCC).

The celebrations run until May 15.

Among the celebrations is the group’s juried art exhibit titled Inspires, featuring works inspired

by EHS members, but created by NPCC artists.

Another exhibit, Fibre to Fabulous, is a collection of work by EHS members from the last 50 years.

And The 50 Mile Coat Spin-In, a live art installation demonstrating how fibres from local sources is crafted into a complete garment, happened on opening weekend.

Artists worked in the centre’s gallery carding, spinning, weaving and sewing the coat in public view, where visitors also could try various fibre arts.

Series explores technologies that will change the world The Humber College Retirees’ Association presents ‘Disruptive Stuff That is Going to Change the World’ – a fourpart seminar series throwing a spotlight on the luring intersection of new technology in our daily lives.

For $50, learn from Humber College’s instructors about the digital chattel and tiny machines that may alter the lives you live in your home and beyond.

The four sessions take place at Humber College’s North Campus, 203 Humber College Blvd., Room H330 They include: 1) 3D Printing on Wednesday, May 11 from 1

to 3:30 p.m. From guns to chocolate to human tissue, 3D printing is poised to upend many aspects of our daily lives. Defined as a process for making a physical object from a 3D digital model, 3D printing is more accessible than ever. In this session, explore the printing process, look at examples of where it is being used and see a live demo.

2) Cybercrime on Wednesday, May 25 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. These days much of our interactions and socializing takes place online. As a result, those who wish to exploit our business and personal relationships have migrated with us. They’ve

figured out the rules and are finding fertile ground for criminal activity and fraud.

What are those rules they are breaching and how do we recognize those threats?

How do we protect ourselves from their digital reach?

3) The Drones are Coming! on Wednesday, June 8 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The interest and use of Multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), aka drones, has increased significantly in recent years. Ranging from aerial photography and filmmaking, to industrial survey, smart agriculture, as well as search and rescue, the UAV industry is developing rapidly. Learn how far this

technology will fly.

4) What the heck is the Internet of Things?

IoT Demystified on Wednesday, June 22 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Your refrigerator just sent you a text message. And now what? Objects all over the world are being fitted with sensors and Internet addresses that allow them to be more convenient,

more energy efficient and “smart.” While this may seem like science fiction or unnecessary technology, as we discover new and better applications, it is becoming clear that the Internet of Things is going to enable us to do things we have never thought possible.

Ken was a retired Toronto Blue Jays Director of Operations. Nary a family friend, nor relative were overlooked by Ken in providing them with their first summer job at Exhibition Stadium with the Blue Jays. His reach and impact to family, friends and the community was exhaustive. Ken graduated from York Memorial Collegiate and went on to Ryerson to study business and play basketball and football. Ken married his high school sweetheart Marlene Moffatt on June 29, 1963. They celebrated their 50th Anniversary just a few short years ago with friends and family. Ken enjoyed his retired years by reading, watching sports, doing crosswords, going to the theatre for movies, and absolutely anything his grandchildren did.

Visitations will be received at Wards Funeral Home, 2035 Weston Rd., Weston, ON M9N 1X7 on Friday, April 29th from 2 to 4 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m.

Funeral Service will be on Saturday, April 30th @ 12:30 p.m. at Central United Church 1 King St., Weston, ON M9N 1K8 We encourage all to share your fond memories and pictures of Ken on his Book of Memories page at www.WardFuneralHome.com In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to either Credit Valley Hospital or Central United church (envelopes at visitation).
