Frankie’s no feral cat, Lilly’s extremely well behaved Caregivers Would-be pets on the hunt for forever home Sp r i n g i n t o Ap r i l w i t h Frankie and Lilly.

You’ll read how survivor Frankie was found hungry and neglected with a serious eye infection and how epileptic Lilly loves just about everything life has to offer.

Both pets are on the hunt for a home of their own.

Meet Frankie Blue-eyed Frankie boy was originally found as a stray living outside with a colony of feral cats.

He was dirty, hungr y and neglected. The colony caregiver noticed he was suffering from an eye infection and brought him into the care of Feline Friends Network.

At his veterinary exam he was diagnosed with an eye condition called Entropion.

He had surgery to correct it and has made a remarkable recovery.

While Frankie was recov-

ering from the surgery, his caregivers realized he was not a feral cat and moved him into a foster care where he is now waiting for his forever home.

Frankie can be a bit shy initially, but once he has warmed up he’s a total lovebug.

Because of his initial caution, the rescue feels

“This is part of the revitalization and street improvement to Wilson Avenue,” Pasternak said, adding work is scheduled for the summer.

“It’s part of the overall vision of the area. The area has been old, tired, and rundown for many years and it’s time to reinvest. The feedback has been very positive.”

Other improvements are slated for the area, including upgrading the parkette at the southeast corner of Bathurst Street and Wilson Avenue to include a seating area with landscaped gardens featuring plant species from Russia and the Philippines, along with an arbour, and restoration work to the Hwy. 401 bridge at that intersection, he said.

While applying pressure to the wound, Alesia ordered bystanders to call 911.

“Nobody was really doing anything,” the Grade 11 student said.

Nina said the boy had glass “embedded in his arms completely.” “(Alesia) was telling him to remain calm and not to move the glass,” Nina said.

“Honestly, she was very calm through the whole thing. It was second nature to her.”

But when Alesia got back into her mom’s van to go home, she says, she began to panic and second-guess her actions.

Rob Ford’s seat must be filled through byelection

Write us

W

hen it comes to how the Toronto council seat belonging to the late Rob Ford will be filled, there should be no debate. Obviously, the city must call a byelection for Ward 2 Etobicoke North.

Ford, the former mayor between 2010 and 2014 and before that Etobicoke North councillor from 2000 to 2010 and then again from 2014 until his death last month after a battle with cancer, would have wanted it that way.

The man believed in the power of the people and the voice of the voter as being supreme.

To do anything but call a byelection, would be a serious error on the part of council. our view Toronto The first step for councillors be to declare Ford’s Ward 2 Ford would will seat vacant, and that is expected happen at the May 3 meeting. have wanted to That’s a legal requirement it that way under the City of Toronto Act: that the seat be declared vacant within two council meetings of a councillor’s death, resignation or other reason why it can no longer be filled by the previously elected councillor. Since there’s already been a council meeting, late last week after Ford’s funeral which took place March 30, next month’s council meeting is when his seat must be declared vacant.

At the May 3 meeting, councillors can consider one of two options as to what they can do to fill the seat – either they call a byelection or they appoint someone to be a ‘caretaker’ councillor for the ward until the next municipal election in 2018.

The City of Toronto Act gives councillors a lot of leeway as they are actually only required to appoint if it is less than 90 days prior to the next municipal election.

There is no maximum amount of time left in a term that requires a byelection over an appointment.

The decision is at council’s discretion.

Given that there are more than two years left on this term, it seems clear that councillors should decide to call a byelection. It’s the right thing to do.

Once called, the byelection must be held within 60 days of the seat being declared vacant. We look forward to a date for the Ward 2 Etobicoke North council seat taking place in late June or very early July.

That’s what’s best for democracy, the people of Etobicoke North and Toronto council as a whole.

Will councillors go for a ranked ballot system?

You don’t want to make judgements on character based on a single vote or action – we humans are more complex creatures than just one vote and we do things for all sorts of complicated reasons.

But it’s hard to not draw some pretty firm conclusions about the character or at least motive of councillors who don’t support ranked ballot voting in Toronto. The system, not currently in use anywhere in Canada but applied in countries throughout the world, allows voters to rank their choices on a ballot. If their first choice candidate fails to get more than half the votes, their second choice is counted instead. This goes on until some candidate or another gets half of the total first, second, third and quite possibly 15th-place votes.

The point is that only candidates who can appeal to half the voters in their jurisdiction get to be councillors.

In the last term of coun-

david nickle the city cil, a majority of councillors voted to ask the provincial government to give Toronto the option to use ranked ballots rather than the firstpast-the-post system that’s currently in place.

Then a couple of things happened. The first was the 2014 election. In total, 29 councillors were elected with more than 50 per cent of the vote, and 11 of those 29 were elected with less than 60 per cent of the vote.

Mayor John Tory had just 40.3 per cent of the popular vote.

The second was a latenight vote in 2015, when Ward 5 Councillor Justin Di Ciano, elected for the first time in 2014 with 54.1 per cent, put forward a motion to tell the province council didn’t mean what it said and was very happy with first-past-the-post system. If the province puts the ranked ballot system

in place, his motion said, Toronto should be able to opt out or require a referendum to impose it. And that won, 25-18. But the province didn’t listen, and this week announced that despite Toronto’s second thoughts, a municipality can select its representatives using ranked ballots if council agrees. No need for a referendum; just a vote of council.

And we’ll see how that goes when this inevitably comes before council again. I’m not optimistic that it will go any better. A council chamber populated only by very popular councillors would not be the same one we have today.

It’s not to say that the 14 councillors and one mayor who couldn’t get 50 per cent plus one on the first ballot would all be gone; they might well have made it up in second and thirdplace choices. But some, like vote-poor Ward 16 Eglinton-Lawrence Christin Carmichael Greb would

have had a real challenge parlaying her 17.4 per cent of the vote into a majority.

But broadening her base of appeal, she might have.

Who could say? From a campaign strategist’s point of view, particularly one working for an incumbent, that uncertainty makes for a real problem. Simply feeding one’s political base doesn’t ensure a lifetime in municipal politics under a ranked ballot system.

In fact, what it does do is ensure that simply catering to one vocal minority in a ward will pretty much guarantee defeat at the polls, because that leaves one a first choice of that minority, and a second choice for no one.

For politicians worried about their careers, that’s terrifying. For voters and taxpayers, that’s empowering. It’s a ray of hope.

Council votes to preserve Gardiner Most Toronto council detractors who are against a plan to preserve the Gardiner Expressway voted for it anyway.

By a 36-5 margin, council opted to support the so-called hybrid plan, which was initially approved last year. The $718-million construction project will see new on-ramps built and the elevated section of the Gardiner east of Jarvis Street pushed north to open up new development lands – if the city can secure crucial infrastructure funding from the federal government.

The hybrid option also makes it possible to transform 10 acres of land under the Gardiner into public accessible space. A meeting for the Under Gardiner project is set for today at 6:30 p.m. at the Harbourfront Community Centre Gymnasium

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension?

Do you sometimes feel that you can hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television.

Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss ‑ the Audéo Venture hearing aid has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g.

Speech comprehension is even more challenging when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation.

Ginette van Wijngaarden, from Connect Hearing proudly displays the Audéo Venture hearing aid.

However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.

Phonak Audéo Venture Hearing Aids This past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehension for those with hearing loss in the highfrequency range. People can sign up for a free demonstration of the Audéo Venture hearing aids by calling now to do so. During your appointment, you will be given a hearing

test and speech comprehension analysis.

If inner-ear damage is present, a hearing care professional will determine the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then programmed into the hearing aids, which precisely take into account and balance the frequency range of the person being tested.

The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for some clients.

Pasta will go a long way in helping families who use food bank this summer >>>from page 1 Centre in Ottawa; Scott Baechler, chef professor and culinary Team Canada member at The Canadian Food and Wine Institute in Niagara; and Eraj Jayawickreme, executive chef of the Fairmont Winnipeg.

“Summer is a time when the stock at food banks is at its lowest – a fact many people don’t realize – so this initiative couldn’t come at a better time,” Ryan Noble, executive director of NYHFB, said in a release.

“This pasta will go a long way in helping to provide the thousands of families who use the food bank with

enough food this summer.”

Bellefeuille’s recipe, a pomegranate and tahini pasta salad, plays into the Middle Eastern food trend as of late.

“This is a great opportunity to give back,” she said of contributing to the cookbook. “The recipes are something people can come up with pretty easily.”

The chef, who has worked in the kitchen of the Art Gallery of Ontario for six years and as executive chef for six months, said she does a lot of food-related outreach with community groups and events such as Toronto Taste, Second Harvest’s annual

The creamy white sauce was a layover from Kailey’s mother’s days as a vegan and a throwback to the Italy her mom had left behind when she was seven. But over time, the creamy cashew concoction became a pet project for both Kailey and her mother. “She and I had always been obsessed with cooking together, that was how we bonded and spent all our time,” says Kailey.

Mom’s Secret Recipe Earns Vegan Entrepreneur Fans Amongst Toronto Carnivores As Well No matter the occasion, a holiday or visit during spring break, Kailey Gilchrist knew that when she made that drive from university in Toronto back home to Barrie, she’d be greeted by a familiar smell – that secret family recipe, her mom’s cashew sauce. “She had been making this cashew sauce for years,” she says.

So when the theatre major went vegan, her mom followed suit and they took to evolving the cashew sauce into a vegan alfredo. It was a work in progress when her mother died. “I was finishing up my degree and cooking like crazy to deal with the grief,” she says. The rest of her time was devoted to working her job demoing products at a health food store. “And my sister was like ‘hey, you should sell some of the stuff that you’re making.’ ” It was an a-ha moment for Kailey. The entrepreneurial theatre major set out perfecting the sauce and launched NONA Vegan Foods, expanding to include two more vegan sauces – carbonara-style and cheesy-style. She’s grown from local, independent shops to over 50 stores including Loblaws and Whole Foods throughout Ontario especially the Greater Toronto Area.

To help launch her business, Kailey took advantage of groups like Enterprise Toronto and Futurepreneur, which Kailey received both a loan and mentorship from.“I’m blown away with how many resources there are in Toronto – all these little hubs and networking events and the little communities that just want to support small businesses,” she says.

– War Amps supporter

The Key Tag Service – it’s free and it works. Nearly 13,000 sets of lost keys are returned every year.
