School neighbours endure a noisy summer TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com It has been a noisy summer for 81-year-old Adelaide Bell, who teaches piano in her home on a leafy, dead-end street in Long Branch.

Since late July, work crews manning heavy equipment have been building a new running track on the back property of James S. Bell Junior Middle Sports and Wellness Academy.

Bell expressed irritation, stating neither she nor her Dominion Road neighbours were notified of the project.

“It’s beep, beep, beep, beep, beep from 7 o’clock in the morning all day from these noisy machines,” Bell said, adding she called the Toronto public school board and learned of the track construction.

“None of us knew this was going to happen. At least, they could have sent a note around warning people.”

According to Bell, school board staff said they did advertise an earlier public meeting about the construction project on a sign board in front of the school on Thirty-First Street “but people on our road don’t go on Thirty-First Street,” she said.

Toronto District School Board staff confirmed a running track is being added to the school “as an important addition that will significantly enhance the (sports and wellness) program.”

The board made James S. Bell a sports and wellness academy a few years ago to promote students’ development of healthy and active lifestyles.

The program supports students in junior Kindergarten to Grade

Staff/Metroland

Work continues Tuesday on the new track at James S. Bell Junior Middle School in the Long Branch Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard area. Dominion Road resident Adelaide Bell, whose property backs on the schoolyard, is concerned about the construction threatening her trees.

8 to develop an appreciation for athletics, health, physical activity and lifelong wellness.

“The students at JSB participate in daily physical activity, learn about the connection between good nutrition, physical activity and being better learners, and enjoy lots of opportunities to participate in a variety of intramural and interschool programs,” the school board stated.

Board officials confirmed the track work is being done between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays in compliance with the city’s noise bylaw.

“As with any renovation proj-

ect, some noise and disruption is unavoidable,” the school board said in a statement. “In addition, the contractor has agreed to lower the volume of any radio used by their staff, and to turn off any machine while not in use.”

Bell has lived in her home since age 10. Her parents bought the house in 1945.

“When they get going with the noise and I have (piano) students coming, it’s disruptive. I’m not happy about it,” she said.

The seven-decade resident suggested she has a different view of wellness than the school board.

“I’m very upset about it. I feel we need as much greenspace as we can get,” Bell said. “They’re digging up grass to put down asphalt. If they want to promote wellness, I think it would be better to plant trees to shade students from the sun or plant a community garden to grow organic vegetables.”

Bell said she is hoping for improved relations with school officials going forward.

“I wish in future they would be a little more considerate.”

The track is scheduled to be completed by month’s end, weather permitting, the school board said.

Toronto right to make water work a priority

WRitE uS

S

pending billions of dollars on replacing wellaged watermains and other infrastructure projects may not be the most exciting thing in Toronto’s budget.

But it’s something that should have been a top priority long time ago.

As noted in the Metroland special report featured in this week’s edition, the infrastructure backlog is now more than $2.6 billion with $1.6 billion of that amount allocated for Toronto Water projects.

And according to the City of Toronto website, there is an average of 1,600 watermain breaks annually, resulting from either the mechanical or structural failure of an underground pipe.

One would think the older OuR ViEW pipes, some dating back to the 1850s, would be the ones to City puts aside blame for the majority of waterbreaks. $5.6 billion for main But Michael D’Andrea, director water projects of the city’s engineering and construction services, explains the thinner walled spun cast models installed over the post-war period are actually degrading faster.

Most of those pipes are located outside of downtown, and not surprisingly the highest break rates are experienced in North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke as the watermains in these areas are also located in predominantly clay soil as opposed to sand.

It’s a city-wide issue and with more development taking place across the city due to Toronto’s development boom, the financial implications of not replacing well-aged watermains will be more devastating than the financial costs of doing so.

The higher frequency of extreme thunderstorms due to climate change is certainly not going to ease the urgency of taking on such a huge infrastructure project.

So it’s a good start for the city to commit $5.6 billion for water upgrades over the next 10 years to reduce its underground-infrastructure backlog down to $265 million by 2025.

Let’s hope this concerted effort to address the backlog of renewal needs will continually be backed by a healthy budget. Otherwise, expect more stories of watermain breaks leaving many residents without running water especially during the winter.

Some food for thought for watching Rio Olympics During the Rio Olympics, those of us early birds in the office make it a point to gather for a Games recap before work starts. It’s always a very animated discussion.

And Drake is kind enough to provide the music. No, not that Drake. We wish. We’re talking Melvin Drake. He’s in IT. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard IT rap.

Anyhow, the game plan for the get-togethers is to get everybody up to speed with what happened the day before and make them aware of what to keep an eye on in the day ahead. But with a week and a half of Rio 2016 TV telecasts behind us, we decided to veer from the usual babble operandi and turn our gaze to the Olympic coverage itself. We focused on one thing in particular our biggest Games telecast pet peeve: the announcers’ use of the word “medal”.

Medal is no longer a noun anymore. It appears to be strictly a verb. Before an event announcers routinely say he or she is expected to medal or

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY not expected to medal. Then after it’s completed, that he or she medalled or wasn’t able to medal.

The use of medal as a verb is nothing new. It has been going on for the last VI Summer Games and V Winter Games and many viewers talk this way too, now. But the real worry within our group is that other Olympic terms are going to follow that lead.

Announcers have turned a lot of other nouns into verbs and fans are copying them instantly. Listen closely to your daily Olympic conversations viewers and you’ll see what I mean. They now go something like this: 1. “So? Don’t keep me in suspense. Did they anthem yet?”

“Yep. You just missed it.

They podiumed 10 minutes ago.”

2. “Hey, did that kayaker silver again like he did in

London 2012?”

“Not quite. But at least he ended up bronzing.”

Well, we had our usual lively back and forth and the general consensus was that we were all getting worked up over nothing. So it was time to get to the real purpose of our daily Olympic huddle: share a quick bite before work. It was my turn to pick up the tab, so I proceeded to take the breakfast orders.

“So how do pancakes sound everyone,” I cheerily inquired.

“None for me today thanks, Jamie,” Jackie responded. “I already waffled.”

“I’ll get you next time then.

What about you, Arjun?”

“Put me down for next time, too. I’m afraid I already French Toasted.”

“Zayanna?”

“No can do. I burritoed before I left. Twice, actually.

I’m stuffed.”

Five more co-workers also passed. One because he’d oatmealed. Another because she’d BLT’d. The other three saying they’d honeybunned,

doughnutted and bageled.

Heck, even Drake declined and he had only double doubled, for heaven’s sake.

There was just one person left. “So what about you Erin,” I mumbled meekly.

“Hate to do this to you, big guy, but I’m going to have to take a rain check too.

Er, I mean, pancake check.

Whatever. The point is I forgot all about you buying breakfast today and I Egg McMuffinned on the way over.”

“You mean the Mcway Mcover, I hope,” I corrected.

Nobody McLaughed.

To u g h Mc C r ow d . T h e $64,000 McQuestion was: do I McContinue?

I thought about it, but what’s the point? It was obvious I didn’t have a chance of humour medalling in this group. Better just to McQuit while I’m McAhead.

Putting on your best sour face to fight Lyme disease TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com A young woman from Scarborough is challenging everyone to bite a lime to raise awareness of Lyme disease.

Paige Spencer brought the Lyme Disease Challenge to Brad Duguid’s office last week, where she and the Scarborough-Centre MPP put their best sour faces on display, posing for photos while biting lime wedges.

The challenge encourages people to bite a lime wedge, take a photo and share it on social media to spread awareness of the disease. Photos are shared online using the hashtags #LymeDiseaseChallenge and #TakeABiteOutOfLyme. Like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, people doing the Lyme Disease Challenge can nominate others to participate. After being nominated, people can choose to upload a photo of their own and/or donate to a Lyme disease organization.

Spencer has late-stage Lyme disease.

The 22 year old believes she was infected 19 years ago, likely in the Rouge Valley, though she said it’s hard to know exactly where she contracted it. She went undiagnosed for 14 years until testing positive for Lyme disease five years ago.

“I love this challenge, it’s great awareness,” Spencer said. “It’s quite amazing how one simple act can go so far and affect so many people in a positive way. People will remember

it, it’s something that makes its mark, and that’s so important.”

In Ontario, Lyme disease is spread through bites from infected blacklegged ticks, also called deer ticks. Through the challenge, Spencer hopes to make more people aware of how to protect themselves from tick bites, and what to do in the event of a bite.

“It’s so important that people are aware of how to remove a tick properly, you don’t just rip it out, there are steps,” she said, noting proper removal helps reduce the risk of disease transmission.

Blacklegged ticks sit on tall grasses and shrubs, with arms outstretched, waiting to grab on to animals or humans. People can reduce the risk of tick bites by staying in the centre of trails, and wearing DEET-based bug repellents and light-coloured clothing that makes it easier to spot ticks, which can be as small as poppy seeds. Wearing long-sleeve shirts, and pants tucked into socks, also helps prevent bites.

To remove a tick properly, grab the head of the tick as close to the skin as possible with fine-tip tweezers or a tick remover from a tick kit, pulling straight away from the skin gently but firmly. You can also get help from a medical professional.

People should do “tick checks” after visiting bushy areas to catch ticks before they bite, Spencer noted, and know the symptoms.

Early symptoms of Lyme disease can include

the effectiveness of our children’s immunity for School.

Q

headache and fatigue, fever and chills, and muscle and joint pain, as well as a stiff neck and rash. Left untreated, the disease can cause heart and neurological problems.

Duguid was happy to take the challenge and help Paige raise awareness.

“From the minute I met Paige, she’s been an inspiration. She’s not only been a trooper in fighting through the disease herself, but I think she’s been an example of what you can do to make a difference for others,” he said.

While dealing with the debilitating disease has been “hell” for Spencer, she remains positive and takes life a day at a time.

“It’s been a roller coaster,” she shared. “I’ve been in and out of hospitals all over the States for treatment, pain so unimaginable that you literally think you’re dying.”

She’s happy the Canadian government is creating a federal framework on Lyme disease, and the Ontario government launched a public awareness campaign as part of its “Combating Lyme Disease Through Collaborative Action: Ontario’s 10 Step Education and Awareness Plan” that was released in July.

“Those are such big steps to me,” Spencer said. “We were at a halt, and nobody wanted to say the L word.”

She hopes the initiatives will spur more government funds for research.

“It’s been a disease that people haven’t understood, it can be very hard to diagnose, extremely hard to understand,” she said.

Paige Spencer (right), who suffers from Lyme Disease, joins Scarborough-Centre MPP Brad Duguid in the ‘Take a Bite Out of Lyme Disease’ challenge at his constituency office.

“That’s why we need to move forward, so we can get funding, we can get proper research done.”

Along with the challenge, Spencer is spreading awareness and offering support through The Lyme Files, a Facebook page she operates. She is also in the process of founding Lyme Youth of Canada, a support group for young people.

She stressed that while Lyme is a scary disease, she wants people to be aware, not afraid.

GYMNASTICS PROGRAMS FOR GIRLS & BOYS FALL REGISTRATIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED NOW

Hello Dr Srajeldin How can I boost my children’s immunity for school?

Fall Session classes begin September 10 Parent & Tot 2 & 3 year olds

An intact immunity is the gate for a perfect health while a compromised immunity is a Pandora’s Box of stumbling health. Parent and guardian must have full understanding of the causes weak immunity and consequently poor health in their children. It is essential to have a strong immunity at all times and especially before starting school.

Germs are everywhere awaiting a child with a compromised immunity to attack his/ her body. We must realize that it is unwise to apply the saying “One treatment will fit all” in the treatment of compromised immunity. Every immunity symptom has its own specific cause(s). Naturopathic therapies focus on improving your child’s immunity at the clinic and at home with following advises: 1- Balanced meals including fresh vegetables and fruits and their natural juices, 2- Sufficient amount of drinking water and 3- Good hygiene to prevent self inoculation or induction of infections 4- Sleep early 5- Breast feeding as long as possible 6- Delay solids introduction in infancy as much as possible Concomitantly, you should eliminate the following 1- Processed food 2- Foods and drinks with white sugar 3- Self treatments with excessive unsupervised medication.

The naturopathic system addresses the causes of weak immunity and treats the causes using natural treatment. You may call the office at 416-207-0207 and register to attend our public education seminar “Back to school immunity boost” Friday August 26, 2016 Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me

Former Guardian publisher Robert Maxwell co-founded Ribfest CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com This year marked the first in Toronto Ribfest’s 17-year history that event co-founder Robert Maxwell couldn’t be found in the thick of things at Etobicoke’s Centennial Park – overseeing the popular event while driving around in a golf cart, smoking his trademark cigar.

The long-time Etobicoke Rotarian and former publisher of The Etobicoke Guardian died Monday, Aug. 8 at age 84, following a lengthy illness.

“He certainly never missed a year at Ribfest until this past year, and that was due to his failing health,” Maxwell’s only son Jamie said of his father’s disappointment at missing out in this year’s fundraising festivities.

“But his face lit up when I said, ‘Don’t worry, Dad, I’m covering your shifts this year – but you’re back on next year.’”

Neither Ribfest – the event he helped cofound in 2000 alongside Cy Garland, Ralph Chiodo and Don Edwards – nor the Rotary Club of Etobicoke itself, for which he served as president from 1999-2000, will be the same without Maxwell, said longtime family friend and fellow Rotarian Lynda Ryder. quick-wit and humour “His quick-wit and sense of humour will very, very be much missed,” said Ryder, a past district governor and current Rotary coordinator.

“He was a Rotarian as true

blue as you could ever imagine, right through to the very end.”

A decorated Canadian Navy veteran who served in the Korean War, Maxwell and his late wife of 54 years Helene settled in the Burnhamthorpe Road and Renforth Drive area of Etobicoke in 1964 and called the community home ever since.

In addition to his commitment to Rotary here in Etobicoke, Maxwell’s local contributions also included serving as publisher of The Etobicoke Guardian under Metrospan/Metroland in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

He also acted as a coach for West Mall Hockey for many years, sat on the executive for West Mall Minor Lacrosse, was an active member of

special report

Pressure on Toronto’s watermain work RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com A road closed by construction – asphalt torn up, dust and debris everywhere, workers in construction helmets milling about – has become such a common sight it’s likely you won’t pay much thought to the work taking place, much less what’s going on underneath.

This summer, the City of Toronto is tackling an unprecedented amount of construction, necessitated by an infrastructure backlog of more than $2.6 billion; $1.6 billion of that is for Toronto Water projects, including replacing well-aged watermains.

By tripling spending – Toronto has already committed $5.6-billion for water upgrades over the next 10 years, the largest infrastructure program in the country – the city projects to reduce its underground-infrastructure backlog down to $261 million by 2025.

“We’re making a concerted effort to address our backlog of renewal needs,” said Michael D’Andrea, director of the city’s engineering and construction services.

This year, the city has earmarked more than $550 million for infrastructure, $227 million of that for watermains and another $71 million for basement flooding protection, which includes “upsizing” sewer infrastructure to absorb the deluge of extreme thunderstorms – a more frequent occurrence due to climate change.

A total of 238 kilometres worth of sewer and watermain replacement is scheduled for completion by the end of 2016.

Some of Toronto’s sewer infrastructure dates back to the 1850s.

That might seem like a long time, but it’s actually the underneath infrastructure installed over the post-war period which is degrading faster.

Unlike the older water pipes which are thicker and have proven more durable, it’s the thinner walled spun cast models located outside of downtown which are corroding and breaking down much faster, according to

Dan Pearce/MetrolanD

Above, a construction worker prepares a pipe to be fitted for the watermain replacement work that is taking place on River Street at Shuter Street this summer.

D’Andrea. “(Spun cast pipe is) the worst infrastructure in the ground and when a watermain breaks in the winter, it’s usually one of those,” he said.

Another need for replacing watermains is the ongoing intensification fuelled

by Toronto’s development boom.

A building going up means more pressure on the water system, so planning must account for anticipated increases to population, even if that’s 25 years away.

“We can’t forecast how quickly developers will turn that land into development, we just need to be thinking about whether they’re likely to and make sure we’ve got the infrastructure,” said D’Andrea.

On River Street, one such project got underway this summer between Queen Street East and Gerrard Street.

The work is ambitious, as it will include a complete roadreconstruction plus beautification.

Before any of that happens three crews of approximately eight, including a foreman, a backhoe operator, pipe layers and general labourers, are

replacing the pipes which given the age of the neighbourhood are of the inferior variety and likely made of lead, presenting possible health risks.

The workers must also keep a close eye for existing infrastructure such as gas mains or subway tracks. Planning helps map out the locations and ensures utility companies are made aware of the work, crucial given the inherent dangers of unwittingly interfering with a live gas main.

“If you break that stuff you get a free ride to the moon,” said Harry Persaud, a senior engineer with Toronto roads.

Persaud, who was on site at a job inspecting the work carried out by a private contractor, estimates around 40 metres of watermain replacement is completed per day.

While the city tries to coordinate the necessary water and road work into one project in order to minimize expenditures, the ever-increasing urgency to get broken or degraded pipes replaced means sometimes that’s just not going to happen, admitted D’Andrea.

“Sometimes you just can’t wait,” he said.

Q&A

with Trevor Wilson -

voted Canada’s top male standup comic for 2015

By Tamara Shephard A Q tshephard@insidetoronto.com A Etobicoke native comedian K. Trevor Wilson is a semifinalist vying for $25,000 in SiriusXM’s Top Comic nationwide comedy search.

Canadians vote for their favourite comics once a day at siriusxm.ca/topcomic until 11:59 p.m. Aug. 22. Eight comics with the most votes compete on stage in the finale. The winner is guaranteed a spot in 2017 in three of Canada’s biggest comedy festivals: JFL42 in Toronto, JFL NorthWest in Vancouver, and Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal.

Wilson plays Squirrely Dan on Crave TV, appears in Comedy Network’s Letterkenny, and has appeared on Showcase’s Billable Hours, NBC’s Darcy Wildlife and A&E’s Breakout Kings.

He was named the 2015 and 2016 College Comedian of the Year. He won Canada’s Best Male Standup at the 2015 Canadian Comedy Awards.

Etobicoke’s K. Trevor Wilson is a semifinalist in the SiriusXM Top Comic Finale.

Q

To what do you attribute your drive and your success in the past few years?

“It has been a fun ride these past few years, between my stand-up success and the success of Letterkenny, I’m definitely at a high point in my career.

It really has been a labour of love. If I didn’t love what I do I probably wouldn’t have stuck it out long enough to get here.

Comedy is like air to me; I think without it I would expire. But to me the most important thing, the part I love best, is seeing people laugh, watching a smile take over their face. It’s my favourite thing. That’s maybe why I’ve done so well because I’m performing for the audience, to entertain them.”

Q

You’ve described your brand of comedy as storytelling. What makes a story drawn from life fodder to you as a comic?

A

“Is it funny? That’s really what you need, an ending worth the journey. When I put a story onstage, the first thing I do is take out anything that doesn’t move the story forward or get a laugh. Who cares about boring details. Then I’m left with funny stuff and action, then I add more jokes to make it fun.”

What is life like for you as a comic?

“Comedy is a lot of travel, I’m on the road about half the year, living out of suitcases. Even Letterkenny is shot on location so I live in Sudbury for a month every year. Stand-up is great cause you work one to two hours a night but it’s a grind. I’m not worried about the show tonight, I’m worried about the show I haven’t booked yet in 6 months.”

Q

You won two 2015 Canadian Comedy Awards, one as Canada’s Best Male Standup, which is quite prestigious. What does it mean to you that you’re officially Canada’s funniest guy?

A

“It’s nice to have that nod from my peers and industry. It really does mean a lot to have that award on my shelf. I don’t know if I believe it, in my opinion the funniest comics in Canada are either Mike Wilmot or Derek Edwards, and they duke it out every year at Derek’s cabin. But I do appreciate the award.”

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.”

For more details on the ”85-Alive” program, contact Puneet Garg, Mortgage Agent 647-852-4274. www.TalkToPuneet.ca

Remembering Glenn Smith

Impress guests with these clever cleaning tips If the thought of unexpected guests leaves you wanting to bolt the front entranceway, you’re not alone. Fortunately, with a little preparation, you’ll never have reason to fear the friendly pop-in again.

So throw down the welcome mat and try these clever cleaning tips to create a more inviting space and positive first impression in a pinch.

1. Create a functional foyer. Your foyer is what your guests see first, so take the necessary steps to ensure that this is a self-cleaning space. Clear closets of unworn jackets and footwear, and only use furniture or accessories that can pull double duty, such as: console tables with drawers, storage benches, closet organizers, cubby bins and shoe racks. They’ll look great, but also serve to hide the “stuff” that creates chaos.

2. Identify ground zero. Stand at your front entrance way and note what’s in view from a guest’s perspective. By doing this, you can pri-

oritize which areas of your living space should be tackled first. Clear these zones of clutter using designated bins, decorative boxes or a storage ottoman to quickly disguise any disarray.

3. Arm yourself for success. Keep cleaning tools in a central location such as the foyer for easy clean-up, and try to tackle messes as they happen. Small handheld vacuums that recharge, like Dirt Devil’s Flipout, are ideal for quickly removing dirt, dust, and debris. For an enviable shine on sealed hardwood floors or tile, consider buying a steam mop such as Hoover’s lightweight SteamScrub 2-in-1. A model like this, that heats up quickly and provides an option for detergent, will provide a better clean and leave a fresh scent. Finally, stock up on wipes—they make cleaning glass, surfaces, door knobs, plastic and more, easier and at lightning-fast speed.

Sherway takes the WE pledge fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com With school just around the corner, students might be consumed with thoughts of courses, schedules, and homework.

They might also be thinking about ways to make positive change for causes they feel strongly for.

Teaming up with the WE movement in the spring for a three-year partnership, Cadillac Fairview (CF) launched the We Stand with WE campaign at some of its retail locations across Canada, i n c l u d i n g C F Sh e r w a y Gardens, CF Fairview Mall and CF Eaton Centre earlier this month, wrapping up Monday, Sept. 5.

The initiative encourages young people to snap selfies in front of a pledge wall inside each mall to show their dedication to nature, health, education, shelter, and hunger causes, then posting it to Instagram with the hashtag #WhoWillYouBe to help spread awareness.

Once the photos are shared, participants will receive one of five enamel pins.

dan Pearce/Metroland

Karelle sikapi (right) takes a selfie with her friend Laura Duterval at the We stand with WE wall to pledge their support for the campaign at Fairview Mall tuesday.

Meredith Blake, marketing manager for CF Fairview Mall and CF Shops at Don Mills, said the goal of the campaign is to empower youth to make positive changes in their communities.

The We Store, which sells unisex apparel, fashion accessories, jewelry and cards, is also up and running at CF Eaton Centre, with proceeds going towards the WE movement.

“We are excited about the We Stand with WE campaign as it embodies what the WE

movement is all about,” Craig Kielburger, co-founder of WE, said in a release. “Today’s youth are a generation that are tech savvy and engaged in social and digital platforms.

The interactive pledge walls are a fun, creative and natural way to engage and inspire youth in our communities to advocate for change by connecting with causes that matter to them. We encourage all Canadian youth to proudly take the pledge and wear their pins to show their commitment to change.”

SPECIAL RETIREES' HEARING AID! A new hearing aid offer has been introduced for retirees. The hearing aid is a great value, simple to operate and brings IMPROVED hearing to thousands!

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available.

The latest digital hearing aid technology is totally invisible when worn. It offers retirees the opportunity to defy hearing loss by compensating for your individual hearing loss in all situations, day and night.

Nobody can see it because it fits snugly and comfortably in your ear canal and uses the ear’s natural acoustics for natural sound quality.

Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about so there’s no need to keep fiddling and adjusting settings.

You can start enjoying life again as you concentrate on hearing, rather than thinking about your hearing aid.

These latest digital hearing aids continuously analyze incoming sounds and adapt to each individual situation, so you always get the best hearing possible. Even in background noise.

When speech and conversation sounds are detected, the sound is automatically increased at different frequencies so you can hear and understand it clearly, not just loudly.

You get all the benefits you want in a digital hearing aid without the obvious sign that you are wearing one because it’s completely invisible in most ears.

A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Etobicoke’s Petra O’Toole represents Toronto at Rose of Tralee festival Etobicoke’s Petra O’Toole is representing Toronto at the 2016 Rose of Tralee International Festival in Ireland.

The festival celebrating Irish heritage started yesterday and continues until Aug. 23 in Tralee, Ireland.

O’Toole, 27, is Irish on her father’s side and is using the experience to get to know her Irish roots and to meet her dad’s family.

The long-time Toronto resident was educated at Dalhousie University in Halifax, picking up bachelor degrees in theatre and German and a master’s in German literature. She then continued studying theatre in France before returning home to Toronto. She’s now a performer, producer and production coordinator for film and theatre.

O’Toole is representing her city as the 2016 Toronto Centre Rose. The Rose competition is open to unmarried

“I was thinking, what are some great products that do well in Japan and we don’t have over here? Onigiri was the thing I decided to focus on,” she recalls.

$70.10 per month

Some conditions apply.

Once back in Toronto, she applied for a competition being delivered by Enterprise Toronto. “I ended up becoming a finalist,” says Jess. “It was a push – if I hadn’t been a part of the contest I might have just sat on the idea.”

“From the competition there was one person who wanted to sell onigiri, so I sold her some,” she says. “Without that contest, I don’t think it would have happened because every encounter since then has led to something else.”

Abokichi looks to make Japanese convenience store snack a Toronto favourite It was during a seven-year stint in Japan that Thornhill-native Jess Mantell first tried Onigiri – a Japanese snack made of rice balls stuffed with pickled or salty ingredients, sometimes wrapped in seaweed and commonly sold at convenience stores and gas stations in the country.

By June 2013, she and her partner Fumi Tsukamoto, had incorporated their onigiri concoctions under Abokichi . At first they rented kitchens and sold through shops but eventually moved into the space at the Annex Hodgepodge, taking the shop over form the previous owner and adding onigiri to the existing menu. They’ve also developed a condiment called Okazu, a crunchy filling made of miso, sesame oil, garlic and chili that they often use to spice up their handmade triangular onigiri.

We’re hoping to build Abokichi out into a brand that’s much larger than these two Japanese food products,” explains Jess.
