Alzheimer’s Centre of Excellence is ‘dream come true’ LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com Memory is vital to the Jewish people. That is why North York’s One Kenton Alzheimer’s Centre of Excellence spearheaded by B’nai Brith Canada is so important, Rabbi Daniel Korobkin said at the facility’s opening on Monday. “When I see the beautiful building and what promise this holds for people who suffer from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia and their families, I think about the fact the Jewish people in particular are experts at remembering,” he said. He pointed to commandments in the Torah and acts perpetuated against the Jewish people by their enemies. “Memory is so important for us because our collective memory keeps our people alive and vibrant and continuing through the end of history,” Korobkin said. “That is why we’re so sensitive when we see a loss of memory.” Noting the great pain caused when a family member with

Alzheimer’s can no longer remember loved ones’ names and other details, Korobkin said it is crucial to keep the memory of the Jewish people and its individuals alive. The centre, at 1 Kenton Dr. at Bathurst Street north of Finch Avenue, sits on land donated by Martha and David Sud, after whom the 45-bed residence is named. It will offer services such as medication management, housekeeping, 24-hour call bell emergency response, patient location systems and kosher meals. Bringing together businesses, researchers and non-for-profit organizations, the centre will also include a “living laboratory” that will develop and test new technologies, products and services to improve Alzheimer’s care, said Gary Goodyear, Minister of State for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev). For example, the communication system will allow families to send photos, program favourite songs and chat with their loved ones. >>>alzheimer’s, page 20

The battle against iron overload Learn about hemochromatosis at Monday, Oct. 28 North York event FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Looking back, Kelly Walters suspected something wasn’t quite right in her late teenage years. At 18, her weight skyrocketed and she suffered from depression. She hadn’t had a regular menstrual cycle in a year. Several years later, at 23, the York resident gave birth to her daughter. A post-partum blood test check-up five weeks later revealed something puzzling; her iron numbers were high, something uncommon for a woman who had just given birth. “The blood test showed I never had a baby,” Walters said, adding she chalked up the results to being young and resilient. But as she entered her 30s, her concerns became greater. A clean eater with a superactive lifestyle, Walters was unable to lose weight, no matter what she did. Joint pain became more intense, her hair was thinning, and eczema covered her skin. “I tried eating really clean, and when I was not able to lose the weight, I felt it wasn’t worth the effort, so I gave up,” she said, adding another bout of depression followed. After enrolling in fitness programs, and watching what she ate, Walters was able to lose weight – a frustrating 12 pounds in a year and a half. “Doctors told me if I lose weight I’ll feel better,” she said. “I was tired all the time. I thought, is it because I have a kid? Or is something going on with me?” After finding a doctor who delved deeper into Walters’ symptoms, she was diagnosed in February 2011 with hereditary hemochromatosis. “I never heard about it in my

family before,” she said, adding later testing showed both her sisters to be carriers, but not affected by the inherited disorder. According to the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society, hereditary hemochromatosis is the most common genetic disorder affecting Canadians, with one in nine people of mostly Northern European descent being carriers and 1 in 300 are estimated to have two copies of the gene that puts them at risk for iron overload. It is a crippling, potentially fatal condition caused by a defect of iron metabolism that leads to iron overload in vital organs, joints and tissues. The complications caused by the disorder are preventable if a

diagnosis is made before the excess iron causes irreversible damage, and effective treatment exists. Hereditary hemochromatosis, or iron overload, is an inherited disorder that causes the body to absorb two to three times the normal amount of iron. Over the years, the excess iron builds up in the vital organs, joints and tissues where it can cause a number of debilitating and potentially fatal conditions such as liver and heart disease, diabetes, impotence and arthritis. Because early symptoms can be non-specific and attributed to many other causes, hemochromatosis can be difficult to diagnose until more extensive damage has occurred. Even then, hemo-

Civitan arena decision deferred Toronto Council will finally make a call on the new location of an arena to replace the Don Mills Civitan arena in January, after a vote last week by the Government Management Committee to defer a plan to build the new arena at York Mills and Don Valley Parkway. The plan recommended by staff would see the city release a request for proposal to build the $24.5-million multi-pad arena on city-owned land at the northeast corner of the intersection. The question of what to do with a replacement of the arena has been ongoing since 2007. The original preferred site was at Hwy. 401 and Don Mills Road, but when the Don Mills Centre was slated for redevelopment in 2009, the city considered the idea of locating the arena within the redevelopment. But in a settlement with the developer at the Ontario Municipal Board, things changed again, and the city and the developer entered into an agreement whereby the city would lease the lands until Oct. 31, 2020. At that point, cash in lieu of parkland from the development would contribute to the construction of a new arena elsewhere. Finally, in 2012, council directed that the city identify two sites: at York Mills and the DVP, and on the southwest corner of Eglinton Avenue East and Don Mills Road, at the Ontario Science Centre. The committee voted to put off the final decision as to the location after Don Valley West Councillor Jaye Robinson said there hadn’t been adequate consultation in her ward.

eadership is an important skill to acquire in life. However, many people, in particular youngsters in at-risk neighbourhoods do not have as many opportunities to gain those important skills. Thankfully the charitable organization Kids Now has taken up the challenge, offering an afterschool program where youth in grades 7 and 8 can empower themselves and gain confidence. Youth volunteer for the 12-week program and are paired with mentors who help drive home the importance of self-esteem, setting goals, communication, conflict resolution, and stress management. All skills are rooted in making the right choices in our view life, staying in school, and taking part in extra-curricuAfter-school lar activities and volunteerin the community. initiative benefits ingThe last point, though no entire community more special than the others, is one that speaks to how a strong community is created – by everyone being an active part of that community, which helps make that community a better place to live, work, and enjoy life. Kids Now mentors come from all walks of life including corporate employees, university students, and even former Kids Now participants. Kids Now is a chance for corporations, companies, Torontonians and even politicians to become mentors to youth. This is something that would not only help the lives of youth, but create a community, a city where people believe in themselves, which leads to believing in their city and the neighbourhoods they call home. The Kids Now program flourished in several schools in Toronto, in particular St. Luigi Catholic School where students raised funds for Meagan’s Walk, as well as supported a village in Kenya and ran a food and clothing drive to help the less fortunate. It is obvious that giving youth the right skills – leadership being just one – they will take up a challenge and become better citizens. It is now time for mentors of various stripes to help mould even more youth to become all they can be.

This weekend’s road closure update

s it just my imagination or is there more work going on during the weekends on Toronto roads than ever before? Construction, resurfacing, maintenance, paving, grinding (whatever that is), concrete de-scaling (whatever THAT is), watermain replacement, railing replacement, bridge repairs, building new TTC tracks, repairing old TTC tracks. The list of stuff may not be endless, but it’s darn close. navigation challenge Throw in marathons, walkathons, assorted otherathons, festivals and events and it can be quite challenging to navigate your way around with all the road closures these days. So what’s a Torontonian to do? The only thing one can do under these trying circumstances: grin and

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY bear it. And to help alleviate the frustration of the inevitable detours awaiting you, I suggest you make a travel plan well in advance so there will be no surprises. The best way find to out what thoroughfares are out of service is online. For those without Internet? Not to worry. Here are this weekend’s key road closures in and around town. 1. That northbound highway entrance ramp you’re expecting to take to get out of the city and away from all the aggravating congestion. 2. The southbound highway exit ramp you’re planning on using to get to your favourite mall. 3. The eastbound lanes on the expressway. That’s if you’re heading east, of

course. 4. If you’re heading west, it’s the westbound lanes on the expressway that are closed, needless to say. construction delays 5. From the intersection of Hey, I Thought That Was Supposed To Be Finished In April and Hey, I That Thought Was Supposed To Be Finished In May to the intersection of Hey, I Thought That Was Supposed To Be Finished In June and Hey, I Thought That Was Supposed To Be Finished In July. 6. That back road you were counting on to get to your job interview on time. 7. That one-way street you were counting on to get to your doctor’s appointment on time. 8. That short cut you were counting on to get to the time-management

seminar on time. 9. That bridge you’ve been taking every weekend for as long as you can remember. 10. That overpass. 11. That underpass. 12. That in-between pass. 13. That street you need to take so you can get grandpa to his local pub where he can watch his beloved Arsenal on the tube. 14. The street you need to take to get your niece to her hockey game. 15. That street, too. 16. That one, too. 17. Definitely, THAT one. 18. Etc. And so on. Alas, also both closed for the next little while, I’m afraid. As if you hadn’t guessed.

The headliner was comedian Angelo Tsarouchas. Bertoia died of a brain tumour on Aug. 20, 2008 at the age of 18.

Shelley Wise: ‘watching down happily’ on her new elevator Funding allows Synagogue to fulfill woman’s quest

“

We want to be accessible to children and families of all abilities. I think it’s very important to make our centre accessible, especially to children in wheelchairs. – Shelley Wise

“

I’m glad the community supported it, the government funded it, I’m happy our family was part of the support system to get it finalized. – Marilyn Berg (Shelley’s sister)

LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com

“It would be going to provide support for a lot of people who need the support and (now) they have it. It’s taken a long time. I’m glad the community supported it, the government funded it, I’m happy our family was part of the support system to get it finalized. My sister is watching down happily. She was very passionate.”

helley Wise didn’t live to see “her” elevator. She died on Oct. 9, 2011, about seven months after former minister of human resources and skills development Diane Finley visited North York’s Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue to announce $75,000 in funding towards an elevator to accommodate people with disabilities in the five-storey building north of Sheppard Avenue between Dufferin and Bathurst streets.

s part of the dedication ceremony, there was also a signing ceremony that will see the synagogue be an emergency place of refuge for Eva’s Initiative, which provides shelter and programs for homeless youth. In addition, the event recognized the synagogue as a safe haven for the Bathurst Manor community and beyond in times of emergency or disaster, noting the building stood as a beacon during Toronto’s massive flood on July 8. The synagogue has been synonymous with accessibility for almost 60 years ago, thanks in large part to founding rabbi Joseph Kelman, said Michael Kerzner, chair of the board.

day care director As director of the synagogue’s Gan Yeladim Day Care Centre on the second floor, Wise was distraught that children in wheelchairs or using walkers had to be turned away and she campaigned passionately for the elevator. Wise herself had difficulty climbing stairs since she used two canes to walk after a fall at a grocery store left her injured. “It’s difficult for me, but it’s not about me. Sadly, we have to tell (parents) we can’t accept their children,” she told The Mirror at the funding announcement on March 4, 2011. “We want to be accessible to children and families of all abilities.

‘no one left behind’

Staff photo/Lisa Queen

Rose and Sam Pacht attend the opening earlier this month of Shelley’s Elevator at the Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue. The Pachts are founding members of the congregation and contributed financially to the construction of the lift, named in memory of the late Shelley Wise, who campaigned for it.

Wise’s sister, Marilyn Berg, said her sibling would have been thrilled with the project, made possible through funding from the federal government, the Ontario Trillium Foundation and Beth Emeth donors.

“I think she would have been very pleased to see the project finalized and completed. She worked very hard at it. She was extremely intense about feeling there was a need for this in the shul,” she said.

“He believed then, as we do now, that a promise builds relationships and trust. He promised that no one should be left behind and denied access to structures or programs simply because of their special needs,” he said. “And he built trust in the community as a whole that our synagogue must be more than just a house of worship. It could act to serve the greater community in other ways.” Other speakers who praised the project included Rabbi Howard Morrison, York Centre MP Mark Adler, York Centre MPP Monte Kwinter and York Centre Councillor James Pasternak.

community wayfinding strategy wTTC Colour-coded bus stop markings and a streamlined network map introduced in the last year could be removed in as little as two months. TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said no decision has been made whether to preserve the designs currently seen along the 94 Wellesley bus route since being placed there on a pilot basis in February. Ross suggested some elements of the designs could be incorporated into a proposed system-wide wayfinding strategy, which was to be unveiled to the public at the TTC’s monthly board meeting on Wednesday. truths about transit report wHard

An advisory panel tasked by Premier Kathleen Wynne to look at a list of transit revenue tools proposed by Metrolinx released its first of three planned reports this week. On Monday, the 13-member panel published Hard Truths about Transit,

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT which dispels what it calls oft-mentioned transit “misconceptions,” such as the notion subways are the only worthwhile transportation infrastructure investment. The panel, which includes Mayor Rob Ford’s former subway funding plan architect Gordon Chong, must report back to Wynne in December with final recommendations. Read the report at www.transitpanel.ca Minister to hear noise wall concerns A campaign organized by the Junction Triangle Rail Committee has paid off after Transportation Minister Glen Murray reportedly agreed to hear the group’s concerns over a planned series of noise wall barriers. The group called on its supporters to continuously phone Murray’s office demanding a face-to-face meeting to discuss an alternative to the noise wall designs proposed by Metrolinx for the GO

Georgetown rail corridor. The transit planning agency says the five-metrehigh walls are required to reduce elevated levels of noise coming from diesel train traffic when the Union Pearson Express opens in two years. The meeting is set for next Thursday at Queen’s Park. TTC education campaign wnew

A public education campaign will launch across the TTC next year to encourage riders to offer up their seats to expectant mothers. The TTC will place advisory decals aboard all vehicles in support of the measure, which Ross said comes as a result of provincial accessibility requirements and not – as has been reported by some media outlets – a strategy to improve rider etiquette. Also planned is the installation of blue seat inserts on all TTC vehicles designating priority seating.

How the Ancients Found the Fountain of Youth Since the beginning of time, we have tenaciously searched for the secrets of health and vitality. This age-old quest put many at risk as they submitted to questionable treatments or journeyed to far-flung places. But we should not believe that the study of health was eclipsed by ignorance and superstition. Often our ancestors made innovative and enlightened steps that have been the basis of our understanding of what true wellness means today. Join Lianne Harris for this informative and free seminar as she takes you on a journey to explore the source of the Fountain of Youth! Lianne was one of Toronto’s Women of Influence for 2003 and the author of several books. She has been the keynote presenter at numerous professional, academic events.

Could bike lanes once again be election fodder for Torontonians?

ust in time for the 2014 municipal election, it looks like Toronto Council is going to be talking big bike lanes again. This week, Toronto’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee voted to re-start the environmental assessment of bike lanes along Bloor Street. It should also send a shiver up the spine of any regular downtown bicycle commuter. Just about four years ago, cycling advocates convinced the council at the time to put bike lanes on Jarvis Street, and nearly got a separated bike lane pilot project on University Avenue, too. The Jarvis bike lane was good for cyclists, but better for politicians willing to stir up anger over what they characterized as those cyclists’ sinister and overweening ambitions. There

david nickle the city wasn’t much consensus in the 2010 mayoralty race, but nearly everyone agreed there was a war on, that war was against “the car,” and Jarvis Street was its battleground. And so it was that the new council voted to pull the lanes out and widen the road again, against the wishes of the local councillor and community. As an afterthought a year later, council ordered the city to stop studying that other big bike lane project along Bloor. Now, it is about to start up again, and from a transportation planning point of view, it makes a great deal of sense. The city is studying a bikeway along

Dupont just to the north of Bloor. What happens there affects what happens on Bloor and vice versa. And it’s not for nothing that Bloor is such a grail for bike nuts. All the public transit along Bloor is below ground, which means cyclists need contend neither with buses nor streetcar tracks, and it crosses many pedestrian- and bike-friendly communities already. It sounds perfect. But going into an election next year, it’s just as perfect an example for nay-saying politicians to hold up as the latest example of a permanent war against automobiles and their drivers. It’s hard to see how pushing along with even an environmental assessment now will result in anything but a push-back from what has previously shown itself

to be a powerful anti-bike sentiment in a large part of the electorate. This is not to say that bike commuters should despair and the city should shelve what is a good plan. A Bloor Street bike lane’s a good idea – just as it

would be to extend the bike lanes back east along the Danforth. It would make the city safer, greener, and maybe even a bit more physically fit on average as commuters from all over the city saw a better option in biking.

But wouldn’t it be nice if it didn’t also fuel the kind of divisive and disingenuous politicking that burned so bright in 2010?

>>>from page 1 The federal government contributed $5.37 million towards One Kenton. The funding allowed B’nai Brith to create the centre, which is partnered with the International Centre for Health Innovation at Western University’s Richard Ivey School of Business, and hire eight specialized full-time employees. One Kenton is a necessary facility as a growing number of Canadians are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and demen-

tia, Goodyear said. “It is indeed a devastating life sentence for the families and the estimated 500,000 Canadians who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia,” he said, adding almost one in 11 Canadians over the age of 65 are affected. The number of Canadians with the disease will double in a generation, said Marc Bissell, chair of the One Kenton board. The centre is playing an important role in filling the

void of services and programs needed to meet the needs of Canadians with the disease and their families, he said. Everything at One Kenton, from fabric colours to the furniture, has been chosen to make life as comfortable as possible for the residents, Bissell said. “We’re here today to celebrate a dream that has come true,” he added.
