Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes offered for free Health app aims to to kids from high-risk neighbourhoods reduce stress for

people with autism

TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com A new program is offering kids who can’t afford martial arts classes a chance to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu for free.

The program, called Project XGuard, started Dec. 4 at North York’s Action and Reaction Mixed Martial Arts Academy, 485 McNicoll Ave. It’s sponsored by Raul Chavez and his wife, Houry, and Action and Reaction owner Fernando “Gringo” Zulick. Classes are from 6 to 7 p.m. Fridays at Action and Reaction. The program is geared toward kids from 10 to 16 years old, but there’s some flexibility if someone a little younger or older wants to attend.

Chavez said he wants to give North York and Scarborough youths a chance to experience Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) and its benefits. He hopes his program will help kids from high-risk neighbourhoods, along with those who might have behavioural issues, and those who need some extra confidence or discipline.

“These are some of the things that you learn in jiujitsu to help you succeed in life,” he said. “It gives you selfdiscipline. It allows them to learn goal setting. They learn how to manage their diet, manage their time. It really sets them up for life.”

It’s also a great way for kids to make friends, he added.

A popular martial art, Brazilian jiu-jitsu teaches selfdefence through grappling, ground control and submission holds. Using BJJ, a person

can successfully defend themselves against a bigger and stronger opponent.

“It’s a very safe sport, and everyone goes at their own pace,” explained Chavez. “I have my kids in jiu-jitsu as well, and I’ve seen the benefit of what it’s doing for them and I’ve seen the benefit of what it’s done for me.”

The Chavez family founded and runs the program, and Zulick donates space at his club for it. As part of the program, the Chavez family sponsors some Action and Reaction athletes, helping them attend competitions. In turn, the sponsored athletes will help with the classes.

Chavez has applied for charity status for Project XGuard, which he hopes will help it grow at Action and

Reaction, while also spreading it to other martial arts schools throughout the city and country. Charity status would allow him to issue tax receipts and accept more donations, and more donations would fund more classes at more schools.

His program targets 10 to 16 year olds, because he said those are hard ages for kids.

“You’re heading into high school, you’re getting exposed to other things in life that might not be good for you, and you have a lot of extra free time,” he said. “We want to give them another avenue to spend their free time in positive and constructive ways.”

Shorts and a T-shirt are all kids need to participate.

Chavez is hoping to collect donations to supply gis – tra-

ditional BJJ uniforms – for the kids.

“Bring your kids to one class with Project XGuard, and your kids will fall in love with this and you’ll see your kids change for the better,” he invited. “If you want a child involved in a program that teaches you self-respect, discipline, respect for others, goal setting and at the same time offer you a work out, offer you a healthy lifestyle, this is a great program to enroll your kids in.”

For more information about the program, and to register your child, contact Chavez at projectxguard@ gmail.com or 416-904-1559.

North York Visual Artists painter captures winter’s delights For the second year in a row, The North York Mirror is featuring artwork on its front cover leading up to Christmas.

Joan McGivney, president of North York Visual Artists (NYVA), created the piece, titled Giddy Up, which includes a photo collage with acrylic paint and pencil crayons.

“The photo source is an old photo of children who were students of my father

in a one-room school house near Grand Valley, Ontario, way back in the 1920s,” she said. “I often use this technique with old family photos as the combination of the photo detail and the paint really bring the old photos alive.”

Oil painting Winter Walk came to fruition when McGivney took a photo while walking through a city ravine on a sunny winter day.

“The contrast between the

blue sky and the shadows on the white snow are contrasted nicely with the dog walkers,” she said.

A l i f e l o n g p a i n t e r, McGivney became serious about her craft after retiring from teaching. Mainly working in oils, she paints the landscape of the local north Toronto area where she lives, in particular scenes of winter.

“My work is about beauty in nature,” she said. “Whether

I am painting a landscape or human form, I look for that elusive quality of light which renders dynamic forms. I love colour and how colour is changed by light and shadow.

Painting for me is truly an act of joy.”

NYVA is made up of some 50 painters, photographers, printmakers, ceramic and glass artists who meet once a month and showcase their work at two annual art shows.

York University and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have partnered to help those with autism and intellectual disabilities use 21st century tools to better cope with healthrelated stress and anxiety.

The two institutions collaborated to create 10 digital card decks focused on health and health care for Waterloo-based company Magnusmode’s free MagnusCards app.

Created by Nadia Hamilton, whose younger brother, Troy, has autism, the e-flash card decks serve as easy to understand how-to guides for common everyday activities such as cooking, grocery shopping, visiting the dentist, and picking up prescription medication, which might cause anxiety in people with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder.

Users are guided through step-by-step on how to complete each task by Magnus the wizard, who awards coins for each completed undertaking.

Yona Lunsky, a psychologist and researcher at CAMH, partnered with associate professor and clinical psychologist Jonathan Weiss from York University to create a collection of 10 digital card decks for the app, with scenarios centered on visiting the eye doctor, the dentist, the emer-

gency department, getting blood work done, going for a health check-up, and dealing with sadness and anxiety.

Card deck topics were selected based on health services research conducted at York and CAMH with individuals who have developmental disabilities and their families, and organizations focused on autism and intellectual disabilities.

“We used the concept of social stories in the past (to help teach social skills to people with autism),” Lunsky said.

But with more and more people using technology, such as smartphones or tablets, to access information, it was time to develop a tool better used for this day and age, she said.

The cards will show, in simple terms, the steps one will go through at a medical appointment, she said, adding the app can be used to prepare for the visit, or as a reminder once there.

“You can tailor the website and app to meet specific needs,” Lunsky said.

Weiss, who is York’s chair in Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment and Care Research, said the app is about breaking down what could be complex tasks into more manageable ones.

“The Magnus app takes (assistance) into the 21st century,” he said.

oday is Christmas Eve and we’re hoping our readers are able to slow things down a bit and start enjoying some holiday time with family and friends. Though we’re sure there will still be lots of last-minute shoppers rushing around this afternoon and early evening getting the final perfect gifts, and we wish them luck, the holiday season is when residents would do well to step back from the hustle and bustle of their busy daily lives and find some time to focus on what’s really important to them.

Spending time with loved ones, whether they be immediate family or not, is such a valuable thing; and for anyone with children, it is the best gift that can be given.

Those who observe Christmas, either as a religious or secular celebration, and those who don’t, and everyone our view of all faiths or none can certainly use the fact that school is Give the gift closed and statutory holidays of time during are taking place to spread some cheer and just plain have some the holidays fun with those who are closest to them.

For many, that will mean family gatherings over the next few days, while for others it’s the chance to hit the Boxing Day sales or spend an afternoon or evening at the movies.

In Toronto, there’s never a shortage of activities to take part in over the holidays and most of them are very family friendly.

And there’s also no need to spend a lot of money to enjoy yourself with family and friends over the next few days. Lots of events, such as skating at one of the city’s many rinks, are free of charge and a great way to enjoy the season – though this year’s warm and wet weather is taking a bit of an edge off traditional winter activities such as tobogganing and skiing.

The milder temperatures, though, open the door to other outdoor activities such as a walk through one of Toronto’s many parks, ravines or along the waterfront. Also, a visit to the zoo or a petting farm is always a fun family activity at this time of year. On Boxing Day, the Toronto Zoo hosts its annual Treats Walk for the animals.

Tory succeeds in restoring professionalism to Toronto It’s unlikely that 2015 could have been anything other than what was at Toronto City Hall: a lengthy period of detoxification from the awful years leading up to it.

At the beginning of the year that was, Mayor John Tory and Toronto council may have had a lot of very practical tasks ahead of them, but the one that mattered for most of us was maybe the simplest: to restore a sense of professionalism, consideration and, dare we say it, sobriety, to the business of municipal public life.

Those of us whose job it was to report on this place heard it again and again, at parties where a year earlier conversation would shift around to questions about the fascinatingly terrible circus that was the Rob Ford administration. In 2015, all anyone wanted to hear was that the new mayor was as dull, wellmannered and moderate as he appeared on television.

It was a low bar, and with

david nickle the city a few notable exceptions, Tory and Toronto council were able to meet and exceed it.

There was some trouble at the Licensing and Standards Committee, where newcomer Councillor Jim Karygiannis and veteran trouble-maker Giorgio Mammoliti raised a ruckus about the taxi industry. But generally, city hall business proceeded with shaky caution. There was a bit more trouble with the 2015 budget, when Tory learned that a good relationship with Premier Kathleen Wynne didn’t mean as much as he’d hoped, and city finance staff scrambled to balance the budget in the face of an unexpected download of social housing costs. But it all worked out, at least for now.

There were few serious

battles at council. The Gardiner Expressway’s future was one of those.

The question of whether to tear it down in the east or build a new elevated highway was debated, and the mayor – who wanted that new highway – prevailed narrowly. After, he sat down with opponents to see what could be done to mollify them. It’s ended if not happily, then at least peaceably.

There might have been more trouble had Tory decided to get behind a bid for the Olympics, in the wake of a stint at hosting the Pan Am Games.

Previous mayors might have been tempted by the promise of Olympic gold, and we could tell Tory was thinking about it. But in the end, the steady hand prevailed and we let the bid go.

There was enough sensible and mundane work to be done already, without that distracting excitement.

There might’ve been some fun fighting over the prospects of jets at Billy

Bishop Airport, but that was shut down by the new federal government, who made it clear they had no interest in opening the tripartite agreement on the waterfront, and that a longsimmering debate about jets was now over. There were few tears shed at our post-traumatic city hall.

By the end of this so very peaceful year, everyone was relaxed enough that Tory could drop what otherwise would have been a bomb, and announce he was going to ask council to add a property tax levy for infrastructure. It landed with barely a muffled thud.

Maybe we were all just too distracted, watching Donald Trump climb in the polls to the south of us – and understanding, maybe like nobody else, just how that sort of thing can turn out.

North York teen gunning for Rio Paralympics

“

NORM NELSON nnelson@insidetoronto.com Jason Roberts, a 19-yearold Paralympic hopeful from North York, will have a tough time topping this past season.

But with 2016 being an Olympic year, he’s definitely hoping to.

“Win a gold medal at the Olympics, that’s my biggest goal,” said the recent grad of North York’s Chaminade College School in a recent phone interview.

“But my first goal has to be making it to the Olympics first, so that’s where it starts.”

He w a s re f e r r i n g t o Canada’s 2016 Olympic/ Paralympic Trials slated to take place in Edmonton July 7 to 10.

Roberts competes in the throwing events: discus, shot put, and javelin.

“Discus is my favourite event but people tell me I do better in shot put. Javelin is my least favourite, do not like javelin,” he said. “It (javelin) is still my event that I need the most work on.”

But he also has this to consider: At the upcoming Rio Paralympics, as it was at the Parapan American Games in Toronto this past summer, the discus event is not included in his class.

Win a gold medal at the Olympics, that’s my biggest goal.

Paralympian hopeful Jason Roberts, a recent Chaminade College School grad, works out earlier this month at the Mattamy Centre.

He competes sitting in a chair in what’s called the F34 class, which is for athletes with an acquired brain injury, which came as a result of childhood trauma.

Thanks to supporters and sponsors, he said the chair he competes in has been “custom made to my specifications... the height, the length, the material, everything is suited to my performance.”

He h a s a v e r y g o o d

chance of competing at the Paralympic Games in Rio this summer. After all, he won the bronze medal in the discus event (in the F34 class) at the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Athletics Championships in Doha, capital of Qatar, Oct. 21 to 31.

That performance followed on the heels of some eye-opening performances on Canadian soil earlier in

the season: • a gold medal in shot put (and ninth in javelin) at the Parapan Am Games at the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletics Stadium at York University only minutes from his North York home • and first in shot put, second in discus, and fourth in javelin at the Canadian national championships, held in Edmonton July 2 to 5 He is already listed by

– Jason Roberts

Athletics Canada as the alltime Canadian record holder (in F34 class) in javelin and second in both shot put and discus.

“Jason Roberts produced a breakthrough season in 2015,” lauds the Canadian Olympic Committee on its website profile.

He certainly didn’t expect to burst on to the national scene like he did in 2015.

“Not at all. I’m still trying to process some of it. It’s like I’m still in shock. Everything is fairly new to me.”

His bronze medal in discus – which turned out to be Canada’s 11th and final medal at the world championships – was a case of saving his best for last.

His first two events left him well back of the medals – sixth in shot put and seventh in javelin.

“I was pretty upset and I told myself I need to medal before I leave,” he said. “And so for the next four days after my shot put event I just focused on what I needed to do. I put a lot more time into training, I spent a lot of

time just meditating and just by myself.

“And when the day came for discus I said if I leave here and I feel I don’t do my best I would leave here greatly disappointed. So after I got the bronze in discus, everything else seemed to disappear.”

The Parapan Am Games were also special, not just because he won gold at his first major international meet but because he got to do it “literally at my own front door – just down the street.

I live at Jane and Sheppard,” Roberts said. ‘biggest turnout’ “I had teachers, friends, family. The day that I got gold, CBC said I had the biggest turnout of supporters.”

It has all happened just barely a year after he was scouted by the national team at the provincial high school track and field championships where he was representing Chaminade.

His dream to compete at the Rio Paralympics now involves a lot of work.

“My training schedule is Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the gym on my own, and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, those are my throwing days. And then Saturdays are my day off,” he said.

Rebranded Baycrest program aims to prolong independence Program aims to improve mobility and well-being fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Reuben and Sharyn Cipin were looking to improve mobility when they enrolled in Baycrest Health Sciences’ Wellness Path Program.

Located in the Rae and Saul Saltzman Day Treatment Centre, the free program first opened in 1986 and is in the midst of a rebranding, with an enhanced focus on client-centred care, said Adrian Vecchio, a registered nurse with the Wellness Path Program.

With her walking “not great”, Sharyn said she was hoping to rid herself of a cane. Her husband, Reuben, who is legally blind, wanted to improve his balance and learn how to properly use a walker, instead of currently relying on a support cane.

The 12-week program, for which clients must be referred to by their doctor, aims to improve strength, mobility, independence and general well-being of clients, who must be aged 65 and older requiring assis-

tance with pain, falls management, medication, arthritis, osteoporosis, mobility, Alzheimer’s disease and mild to moderate memory loss or cognitive impairment.

The ultimate goal of the program, which is assisted by a registered nurse, geriatrician, physiotherapist, social worker and speechlanguage pathologist, is to have clients remain as independent for as long as possible.

Each client is required to set goals at the beginning of enrolment, which should be specific, achievable and realistic, Vecchio said.

The three-hour, twice-a-week sessions include a group exercise class and one-on-one time with experts to help with issues clients are facing, Vecchio said, adding clients who meet their goals quicker than 12 weeks will be discharged earlier, and those who need a bit more time can stay on past three months.

For Sharyn, who has been part of the Wellness Path Program for 12 weeks, the 80-year-old said she’s

noticed breathing improvements since enrolling.

“It’s not just physio, they show you how to use devices to help with a bad back or bad shoulder,” she said. “It’s a very fine program. The exercises stimulate you and the social aspect is important to. It

gets me out of the house.”

Reuben, who has taken part in the program for 10 weeks, said he’s been working with a physiotherapist to better his balance and prevent falls.

The 87-year-old was diagnosed with glaucoma years ago and for the

past three years has suffered from Charles Bonnet Syndrome, which causes visual hallucinations. In Reuben’s case, he constantly sees large, bold print, though he can’t make out the words.

Vecchio said there is roughly a three- to four-week wait list for the program, stressing clients must be referred by their doctor.

“We are letting the client be in charge,” he said, adding the program does not have a catchment area.

Everyone takes part in chair exercises and wellness lectures, along with personalized therapy.

“The goal is to keep people at home and get people out of the house,” he said. “After one year, clients can come back to the program if they want.”

The Wellness Path Program also teaches clients about modifications to bathrooms or kitchens, such as bathroom grab bars or modified utensils, Vecchio said.

“Clients come up with their own blueprints for what they want to achieve,” he said.

Youth in TCHC communities receive coats, snow pants from Jays Care Foundation fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Christmas came early for 200 youths in the form of winter attire at four Toronto Community Housing communities Tuesday, Dec. 22.

Winter coats, snow pants and toques were handed out at 2 Brahms Ave.; 3101 Weston Rd.; 21 Windermere Ave.; and 501 Adelaide St. E. by representatives from Toronto Community Housing, Jays Care Foundation and New Era Cap Company.

For the past 27 years, Toronto Community Housing has teamed up with Jays Care Foundation for a summer baseball day camp.

This year, New Era Cap Company, a supporter of Jays Care Foundation and supplier of baseball gear for the Rookie League program, decided to forgo their annual staff Christmas party and instead used the funds to supply winter gear for Toronto Community Housing young-

“We’ve always supported the Jays Care Foundation,” said Ken Haqq, national sales manager for New Era Cap Company, adding this was the first time the company has

made this type of donation.

Greg Spearn, president and CEO of Toronto Community Housing, said it was heartwarming to have partners who are willing to give back to the community.
