Baycrest book sheds light on cognitive impairment LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com Have you gone to the grocery store, only to forget what you were supposed to buy?

Probably no need to worry, we’ve all been there.

But if someone asks you if you went to the market and you can’t remember if you made the trip, that is likely cause for concern.

Priority status paves way for free programs at Antibes FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Maureen Simpson summed up her feelings in two words when asked how she felt about Antibes Community Centre officially becoming a priority centre.

“Woo-hoo!” exclaimed the longtime Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue resident. “It’s great, absolutely.

Now you can send your child to the community centre, you can send both children to the community centre, you can send older loved ones. You can now put extra food in bellies. Yes, I am elated. Our councillor kept his word, he came through for us.”

An official ribbon cutting was held Sunday at 140 Antibes Dr., which drew several hundred supporters and city officials.

A priority centre designation means that free and discounted recreation programs, such as dance, art, swimming and sports, will now be available for children and seniors.

Rental space will also be free.

The community centre, which opened in 1999, is the first community centre to be designated a priority centre in more than a decade.

Toronto Council designated Antibes as a priority centre in 2011 and needed approval in the 2012 budget. It passed in January, but because the centre’s name was not in the exact motion, the process of designating it priority was delayed.

Council ultimately approved the priority centre status in June.

“Nothing comes easy at City Hall,” said York Centre Councillor James Pasternak, who was elected in 2010 and said securing the priority centre designation was at the top of his list.

“We finally did it.”

Pasternak said the free services will cost the city $270,000 a year for the roughly 800 people who use Antibes Community Centre, but said when the social costs are factored in, it’s a small price to pay.

The neighbourhood, along Bathurst between Steeles and Finch, is home to many high-rise apartment buildings filled with immigrants from Russia, Israel and the Philippines.

Terry Fox Run: sustain a legacy T

here’s a lesson for volunteer organizations to observe when it comes to the Terry Fox Run. The event has grown enormously over its 32 years and is now a worldwide undertaking – one that even goes beyond the traditional Sunday run in multiple locales. For example, there’s now a separate National School Run Day. There’s also an intriguing new initiative making its debut this year. Canadian university students are being urged to get involved with Terry’s Cause on Campus.

Among its goals is “to inspire future generations with Terry’s story of courage, selflessness and hope.” So far, our view nine events are confirmed, including one in Toronto.

You can honour Students at University of Toronto will participate in a run the memory of bringing students from all three of its campus locations (down- Canadian hero town Toronto, Mississauga, Scarborough) to its Scarborough campus. While most of the university events are taking place Sunday, Toronto’s is scheduled for Oct. 3.

It’s a fitting expansion for a number of reasons.

Terry Fox was a first-year student at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. when he was diagnosed with bone cancer, which resulted in his right leg being amputated above the knee. The connection of this event to a university campus is an obvious one.

Just as importantly, by directly engaging university students – our leaders of tomorrow – Terry Fox Run organizers are making a shrewd, sustainable investment in ensuring the continuation of Fox’s legacy.

It also signals renewal. Many organizations run the risk of becoming irrelevant once the generation that created those organizations passes on. It’s a sad, but undeniable reality; volunteer organizations need to consider a form of succession planning if they hope to be sustainable.

And there’s reason to hope. Our young people do volunteer.

In a Statistics Canada report released earlier this year, titled Caring Canadians, Involved Canadians, nearly 60 per cent of Ontarians between the ages of 15 and 24 volunteered at least once in the previous 12 months.

It’s the highest volunteer rate of the six age groups cited in the survey, and well above the provincial rate of 47.7 per cent.

Participating in the Terry Fox Run is an excellent way to honour the memory of a bonafide Canadian hero. It always has been.

It’s encouraging to see that growth continue and that investments are being made to ensure the continuation of Fox’s legacy.

To the editor: Re: ‘How do our police serve and protect?’, Special Report, Aug. 30.

I have to direct my opinion at African Canadian Legal Clinic rep Moya Teklu.

The article states some people in the black community are being over-policed.

Crime has no colour, but in the article it stated the black community is being disproportionately targeted.

Police cannot be everywhere, so it falls onto the community to report crimes where they live so police can do their jobs properly.

The constant code of silence of not reporting crimes fuels the mistrust of police, who come into an area looking for answers to what happened, only to be regarded as the enemy.

There are ways to report crime without leaving one’s name and Crime Stoppers is a prime example.

The daily workings of police who patrol these areas of concern is not overpolicing, it is over-protecting so the people in the area will be safe.

My morning cup of coffee habit runneth over

I

used to go to A Popular Coffee Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless first thing every morning.

The lineups at my stop were legendary, just like at all their locations, but I didn’t mind. Toronto’s a big city that’s getting bigger by the nanosecond. Endless queues go with the territory.

Besides, at A Popular Coffee Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless, the wait was well worth it. As your basic devoted customer, the cashiers all recognized me and started punching in my order before I even had to ask.

What can I say? At that early hour when you’re not sure if you’re even conscious yet, every little bit helps.

Alas, nothing lasts forever, I’m afraid.

A Popular Coffee Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless decided to expand its menu to com-

but seriously

jamie wayne

pete not just with companies in the coffee business, but with fast-food outlets offering lunch and dinner fare, too.

Not good, from my perspective. Not good at all.

An unfortunate byproduct of that marketing strategy at my favourite haunt was that the cashiers now had so many goodies to keep track of, though they didn’t stop recognizing me, they couldn’t remember what I wanted anymore.

Not that I could blame them.

Fact is, I couldn’t remember what the heck I wanted anymore, either. They changed their cup sizes not

soon after and I was struggling just with that.

Nope. This was definitely a sign for me to move on. It was evident that it was way too much to absorb for all of us. I had to get out of there.

Ah, but where to go? That was the $1.80 question.

As it turns out, not very far at all. To a place just around the corner. A place I walk by every day. A place I had never thought of to get my morning coffee fix.

A place known worldwide as A Popular Fast-Food Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless.

Whoulda thunk it?

I didn’t know anybody bought coffee at A Popular Fast-Food Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless. But many do, apparently.

And as it turns out, the coffee there is quite tasty.

What’s more, right off the bat my cashier passed the “customer service” litmus test with flying colours:

by Day 2 she remembered what I wanted.

The icing on the cake? It’s not nearly as busy during the mornings in A Popular Fast-Food Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless as it is in A Popular Coffee Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless. The big crowds don’t start until the lunch hour, long after I’m gone.

So I said, “I’ll drink to that.” Coffee, that is, of course.

And just what kind of coffee do I prefer, you may ask? Why, the only kind there is as far as I’m concerned.

The kind the cashier calls “The usual”. And all I have to do is nod. n Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much. His column appears every Thursday. Contact him at jamie.wayne@sympatico.ca

>>>from page 1 In what may be the first book of its kind aimed at average people, Baycrest has published Living with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Guide to Maximizing Brain Health and Reducing Risk of Dementia.

Written by three leading experts in brain health, Kelly Murphy, Nicole Anderson and Angela Troyer, the book aims to shine a light on MCI, a condition affecting half a million Canadians over the age of 65.

Ten to 15 per cent of people with MCI causing memory troubles will develop dementia within a year and 80 per cent will develop dementia within six years.

slow dementia But the book identifies ways people can improve cognitive functioning and slow the progression to dementia. Not all people with MCI will get worse, Murphy said.

She is a clinical neuropsychologist who runs Baycrest’s memory intervention program for people with MCI and their spouses or partners.

People with MCI experience changes in their thinking skills and often with their memory that are worse than normal for their age,

Brain health experts at Baycrest Geriatric Health Care System have released a book on mild congnitive impairment, geared toward the average person.

Murphy said.

Unfortunately, it can be a difficult condition to diagnose because identification relies on subjective interpretations of the changes, she said.

Often, MCI is monitored over time with the help of the person’s

family doctor.

A doctor can also rule out other possibilities for cognitive impairment such as health concerns or stress.

Murphy also warned against fearing every memory lapse, even significant ones, signals MCI or dementia.

“I caution people not to catastrophize these slips. People do make slips. People do forget their Stradivarius (violins) on the subway,” she said.

Even once a diagnosis of MCI has been established, it doesn’t mean the person will inevitably develop dementia, something that is impossible to predict, Murphy said.

“You can’t tell them, the same way you don’t know if they will win the lottery or get hit by a bus,” she said.

People with MCI fear loss of control over their lives, but the book can help them realize there are steps they can do to mitigate the condition and reduce the risk of it developing into dementia, Murphy said.

For example, participate in activities you enjoy that stimulate your brain, such as playing bridge or doing crosswords, and take care of your physical and emotional

health.

“It is like grandma’s advice. I know I should exercise. I know I should eat well. I should see my friends.

I should use my mind. But why?

There’s actual evidence it affects your brain health,” Murphy said. ‘no magic pill’ “I find, as a society, we want to go to the doctor and say, ‘I have this, give me a pill.’ There is no magic pill here. There’s only common sense.

It’s grandma’s advice. Take care of yourself. See your friends. Choose things you want to do and eat. Don’t eat blueberries if you don’t like them but eat other colourful fruits and vegetables.”

Also, begin developing strategies that will help you cope as cognitive impairment increases, tweaking them as needed over time, “It’s like eyeglasses for your memory. If your eyesight changes, you get stronger glasses. If your memory gets worse, you have strategies in place,” Murphy said.

“Acquire these skills when you’re capable and if things get worse, you have the skills in place.”

YOUR WORLD IS UNLIMITED

SO WHY ISN’T YOUR INTERNET?

Opinion

Ford will survive court case R ob Ford was never going to get out of that courtroom unscathed, and by the time Clayton Ruby was finished with him on the stand last Wednesday, the mayor of Toronto was pretty much on the ropes.

At the end of it, our mayor emerged as a seemingly careless steward of the city, wilfully ignorant of the laws he had sworn to uphold, a passionate defender of the social benefits of high school football but disinterested in almost everything else.

It’s not a surprise. If Ruby had been permitted to by Judge Charles Hackland, he might have been able to introduce a laundry list of stories with which we are all familiar regarding Ford’s behaviour.

Ford’s lawyer Alan Lenczner successfully argued that questioning on those matters would do more than embarrass the mayor. It might also have embarrassed a great many voters – no one who voted

THE CITY

david nickle

for him could say they weren’t told exactly the kind of guy Ford was.

Now, he is facing the very real prospect of losing the job to which he was elected.

He is accused of contravening the Ontario Municipal Conflict of Interest Act when he spoke and voted on the floor of council in February on a matter in which he had a financial interest: a requirement by Toronto Council that he repay $3,150 to 11 lobbyists who donated to his football charity while he was a city councillor.

Unless Hackland is persuaded by Lenczner’s suite of finely honed legal arguments – council had no authority to order the repayment; the mayor made an error in judgement in good

faith; Ford’s interpretation of the Conflict of Interest Act (which he admitted to never having read) is correct – he will have little choice but to remove the mayor from office.

Of course, there will be another election for the mayor should that happen.

If the sentence comes down without also imposing a restriction preventing him from running, it could be that Ford becomes a candidate in the byelection called to replace him.

If the judge imposes restrictions, count on him running again in the first election he can. And give him good odds of winning that one.

Because when it comes to Rob Ford, there is a large constituency of voters that doesn’t want to face facts when it comes to their candidate. Their love appears to be unconditional. n David Nickle is The Mirror’s City Hall columnist.

Pedestrian killed by vehicle City of Toronto seeking bids on Bayview Avenue identified to help transform Casa Loma

Fen Shi, 75, died Monday

Maintenance of buildings and grounds should part of deal: councillor

ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

A 75-year-old woman was struck and killed by a vehicle Monday while out on a morning walk in her North York neighbourhood.

Police said Fen Shi was walking on the east sidewalk of Bayview Avenue when a 2012 Lexus RX 350 coming out of Willowdale Chiropractic at 3133 Bayview hit her, knocking her to the ground, at 9:43 a.m.

The vehicle was making a right turn to northbound Bayview from the driveway.

She is the city’s 29th traffic fatality of the year.

collision.

Const. Clint Stibbe said the driver, the lone occupant of the Lexus, wasn’t physically injured “but emotionally it’s quite a traumatic event.”

Police don’t yet know whether charges will be laid.

“We have not yet determined the exact location of the pedestrian,” Stibbe said.

“Once that’s determined, then a decision will be made whether or not any charges

are warranted.”

Stibbe suggested there are “some conflicting statements from some of the witnesses.”

He asked others who saw the collision to call police at 416-808-1900.

Police closed Bayview between Finch and McKee avenues for more than four hours as a collision reconstruction team from the traffic services unit investigated.

Toronto’s executive committee has voted to put the call out for bids to operate and possibly transform Casa Loma, the city’s castle at the top of Spadina Avenue.

But there won’t likely be any sell-off of the historic mansion that until 2011 had been owned by the city and operated by the Kiwanis Club.

The structure, originally built by Sir Henry Pellatt, was seized for taxes when the businessman’s fortune collapsed.

The Kiwanis Club had been operating the castle as a tour-

Volkswagen Villa

ist attraction and a meeting hall for the club since 1937.

In 2011, the city and the Kiwanis Club formally ended their relationship after it became clear the $20 million in repairs required for the building were beyond the ability of the Kiwanis to manage. The structure is currently managed by a board made up of city bureaucrats.

The executive committee voted to try and find a private operator that can both manage the building and renovate and restore the entire facility.

Councillors Josh Matlow and Joe Mihevc spoke at the committee. Mihevc, who represents the area adjacent to the site, said any management deal should require the proponent to look after the entire property, and he unsuccessfully urged the committee to establish a vision first.

“I think that opening it all up from the beginning, you could have a situation where

you have just one proponent who says I’m going to focus on the main building and let the others run down because they don’t make money for me,” he said.

‘This is a castle that school kids should be able to visit forever. It is a part of our living history.’

– Councillor Josh Matlow “The need to invest in good repair is non-negotiable.”

Matlow said the new operator should be mindful of the castle’s grand nature.

“It should be a place of grandeur,” he said. “There shouldn’t be air conditioners clicking away in the middle of hallways – there should be chandeliers. This is a castle that school kids should be able to visit forever. It is a part of our living history.”

Meetings to explain city’s latest attempt at harmonized zoning bylaw T h e C i t y o f To r o n t o’s latest attempt at a harmonized zoning bylaw will be explained in a series of public meetings which started in Scarborough this week.

Amalgamation left the city with 43 different zoning regimes, each with its own rules for planning.

The previous Toronto Council in 2010 approved a previous effort to combine them, but even after six years of preparation, some councillors complained the harmonized bylaw was unsuitable and lengthened processing time for possible changes.

Some 694 property owners appealed the bylaw to the Ontario Municipal Board before the new Toronto Council tore up the bylaw in May and restarted the process.

A new draft harmonized by l a w, w h i c h i n c l u d e s everything from permitted building heights to parking requirements, was released in June.

The first public open house was Tuesday in Scarborough.

Others follow today at Metro Hall on John Street and Sept.

19 at Etobicoke Civic Centre on The West Mall.

There is a public meeting on Sept. 20 at North York

Civic Centre at 5100 Yonge St. City staff has met with many of the applicants to resolve their concerns have added some transitioning clauses to the draft bylaw so that applications in process will continue to operate under their area’s old zoning, said Klaus Lehman, an acting manager of the bylaw project.

Exemption clauses will also shield existing buildings from new zoning rules.

The entire text of the massive bylaw and interactive maps of zoning across the city can be found at www. toronto.ca/zoning

I save most of the money, but I give $40 each month to Compassion Canada to sponsor a child in the Philippines. This makes me feel like I’m doing something good with my money. In my free time I like to read and play sports like soccer, ice hockey and football. Thanks to my family for giving me help with my papers when I need it!

In my free time I like to play sports, hang out with my friends and play guitar. I have been working with Toronto community news for well over a year now. I really love my job because it lets me get to know everyone in the community and it teaches and gives me responsibility and independence. It taught me responsibility because I have to make time for my job and make sure everyone gets their flyer on time. It gives me independence because now I have my own money and I don’t need to ask my parents for much anymore. I also need to give a thanks to my best friend Dong-soo for helping me with my job and being a great friend. Hopefully in the future I become very successful as a lawyer or a basketball player.

City Hall

Bullet ban motion fails to reach floor of executive committee DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com C i t y Co u n c i l l o r A d a m Vaughan’s move to have the sale of ammunition banned in Toronto was deep-sixed Monday at Mayor Rob Ford’s executive committee.

The committee didn’t even let the notice of motion get onto the floor.

Vaughan had put forward the motion looking into banning the sale of ammunition in Toronto as a way to combat gun crime in the city.

The matter was referred

by Toronto Council to the executive committee, and dispatched quickly, as the committee was vetting the agenda in the first thing, once it was clear that there were to be no public deputations on the matter.

The committee deferred the matter indefinitely – effectively removing it from public debate.

Vaughan said he wasn’t surprised no one showed up to force the matter – or that the committee decided not to deal with it.

“Look, when it comes to issues of public safety this mayor walks away not just from debates, but from action,” he said.

“I believe that limited access to ammunition, limited access to weapons makes the city safer. I’ll continue to advocate for gun control, despite what the federal government and gun advocates on council are advocating for.”

He said members of the public interested in banning ammunition sales shouldn’t

be blamed for giving the morning a miss.

“I think most people realize when it comes to the executive committee that there are a lot of gun advocates.

I think rather than talking until they’re blue in the face, they know where the mayor’s going.”

De p u t y Ma yo r D o u g Holyday put it bluntly: “I guess it got shot down and I’m not really sure if there would have been any value in it,” he said.

“I don’t think the crooks in Toronto buy their guns at a bullet store or a gun shop.

It’s another one of those situations where somebody is going to put something forward and appear to be doing something about the problem, when in fact they’re not.”

the demand has increased and it’s increasingly difficult to get (outside) funding as well.”

McIsaac said agencies that provide youth services and employment services seem to have had a particularly rough go of it over the past year.

“Those agencies are under pressure and we want to give them the support they need,” she said.

Marg Campbell, executive director of Delisle Youth Services, said United Way funding is vital to her

agency’s success.

Delisle receives roughly $400,000 annually from the United Way, with the funding allowing them to offer counselling, a group home, a day treatment program, arts programming, mental health support and other services for youth across the city.

“For Delisle and the other agencies (at the launch) count on the United Way to support us and guide us in the work we do,” she said.

“People need support in life and this helps us reach

kids before they fall through the cracks.”

Wilson Yu, programming and personnel director at CultureLink, said United Way funding helps keep his organization afloat.

Thanks in part to roughly $150,000 in funding from the United Way, CultureLink provides settlement services for new Canadians with programs ranging from mentorship to job search workshops to language assistance.

“The funding they give us is so important in helping us serve newcomers through all our programs,” he said. “We look at this as core funding.”
