apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

DAVID GROSSMAN nym@insidetoronto.com For North York native Molly Tissenbaum, the afternoon car ride with her parents on Labour Day 2013 in Boston is something she’ll never forget. It was just after finishing a mandatory concussion testing for all athletes, and Tissenbaum was settling in nicely at the historic and prestigious Harvard University in Cambridge, when a driver in another car ran a light and T-boned the vehicle being driven by her father, Gerry. Fortunately, they escaped without serious injury, but the event was more than a nerverattling episode. Her father was shaken. Her mother, Lisa, sustained a concussion and ditto for Molly. Now, a 21-year-old studying sociology at the Ivy League school, Tissenbaum has come a long way since those early days of learning how to play goal at age eight, then solidifying a key role with the Willowdale Red Wings of the Ontario Women’s Hockey League. And she likely would pass on the reminders about the ambulance ride, neck brace and the fear that embraced their lives. Time, as they say, is a healer. While Tissenbaum is no stranger to concussions, with four injuries to the brain in her hockey career, she is back on skates and just finished a superb season as backup goalie for a Harvard squad

that lost to Minnesota, 4-1 in the National Collegiate Athletic Association championship in Minneapolis. “After the accident, I had an instant feeling that things were bad and I was convinced my hockey days were over,” recalled Tissenbaum who, when she’s not at school, resides in the York Mills and Bayview area. “There were nightmares, headaches and wearing sunglasses all hours. It’s something that will never go away.” Determined to succeed and passionate about hockey, Tissenbaum was given the green light to play. An honours student in high school, and winner of an award from the National Society of High School Scholars in Canada, Tissenbaum firmly believes

she made the right choice. “I am very fortunate to be able to play for a great school,” said Tissenbaum, who appeared in seven games this year and had a save percentage of .912. “As for the concussions, my family warned me about returning to the ice and suggested that it might be time to just be a student.” But older brother Maxx, also athletically talented as well as being one of her biggest fans, suggested there was still an opportunity for both: academics and athletics. Initially picked by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2009 draft, the time wasn’t right for him with studies taking priority. He was later selected by the San Diego Padres and now is a catcher in the Tampa Bay Rays organization.

Police hope a $10,000 reward will help them identify the Tunnel Rat Bandit, wanted for eight bank robberies, mostly along the Yonge or BloorDanforth subway lines. “In each of the occurrences on the subway line, the suspect fled into the subway after the robbery,” Staff Insp. Mike Earl told reporters during a news conference at police headquarters yesterday. “The individual would enter the bank, approach a bank teller, present a note indicating that he was armed and make a demand for money.” The holdups occurred between Jan. 6 and March 11. The bandit usually wore sunglasses, a scarf, a baseball cap and a hoodie to conceal his face. At times he also wore a fake beard. The suspect is white, in his 30s, 5’9” to six-feet tall with dark hair and a narrow nose. The Canadian Bankers Association is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction. Police also released images

A bank rbbery suspect, dubbed the ‘Tunnel Rat Bandit’

of four other bank robbers: w The Harold and Kumar Bandits are wanted for a holdup at a bank on Leslie Street near Finch Avenue at 7:50 p.m. April 9. One man stayed by the door as a lookout while his accomplice went to the counter with a grocery bag and demanded cash. “They were inexperienced and almost klutzy while they were in the bank,” Earl said. The pair resemble Harold and Kumar from the series of comedy films, police said. One suspect is Asian, about 20 years old, 5’4” to 5’7” tall with a heavy build.

w The Bubbles Bandit, dubbed so because of his glasses, is wanted for a March 4 robbery at the Royal Bank at Bay and Dundas streets in which he threatened to shoot a teller. The suspect is black, in his 30s or 40s with a round face. Police believe he wore prop plastic glasses along with a black jacket and a toque. w The Countdown Bandit is wanted for three bank robberies on Jan. 22 and one on Feb. 6. “He produced an iPhone with a counter on it, counting down from two minutes, threatening to shoot the teller if she didn’t comply,” Earl said. This suspect is black, 19 to 25, about 5’7” tall with a skinny build. He wore a Cleveland Indians cap, black Chuck Taylor high-tops and white headphones. There were 42 bank robberies in the city so far this year, an eight per cent increase over this time last year. Seventeen of the robberies remain unsolved. “Our solve rate for bank robberies is usually pretty high, 85 to 90 per cent,” said Earl, adding “right now we’re much lower than that because of these outstanding suspects.” Anyone with information is asked to call the holdup squad at 416-808-7350 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).

oronto has a well-deserved reputation for its diverse offering of arts and cultural festivals. These are events that showcase a wide range of talents, skills and backgrounds – and they provide an important economic boost as well. The city’s Cultural Hotspot program, in its second year, is a welcome addition to Toronto’s cultural programming that gives a specific area of the city an increased profile. This year, the spotlight is on centralsouth Etobicoke and the artistic, cultural and heritage events taking place in that community from now through October. The concept is straight-forward enough: use a series of signature community projects to inspire residents and visitors to discover the area’s arts, culture, food, businesses, heritage and more. our view This year, examples of events include the Dancing in the Third performance and Lakeshore Spotlight on Act Mardi Gras as well as community culture good events related to the upcoming Pan Am Games. for all of us Benefits of this kind of focused program include an increased profile as well as greater co-ordination of multiple events – for diversity of interested participants and to help events that may otherwise struggle to get exposure. For residents of the neighbourhoods, the program is an opportunity to forge a greater connection to their community and for folks who live in other parts of the city, it’s an opportunity to glean a greater understanding of Toronto’s diverse communities. Last year, the Cultural Hotspot program was in the neighbourhoods of south Scarborough, with signature projects such as the Taste of Lawrence, Guild Alive with Culture and the Port Union Waterfront Festival. We hope the program’s continuation inspires new arts and cultural endeavours and helps develop a civic reputation as a global arts and cultural centre. Change is a reality in this city. Toronto’s population is growing and is becoming increasingly diverse. As the city continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how younger generations reshape the city’s cultural identity based on the more global influences of today. Giving our communities an opportunity for greater exposure from an increased breadth of arts and culture can only enhance that.

Memories of Mom and a very special date I was watching the Blue Jays/Red Sox game in a sports bar with a youngish group from work last Friday night and at the end when the announcer said that the 7-0 shutout was the Jays’ 3,000th win, I bragged that I remembered victory number one. It was on April 7, 1977, to be exact. I should know, I was there. A hush fell over the room. Then I proceeded to dazzle the crowd with the game highlights. Moms were the topic du jour with Mother’s Day fast approaching and I proudly proclaimed that the most memorable one for me hands down was who I went with: my mom. The stunning revelation elicited a chorus of “ahhhs.” A few roses were tossed my way, as well. I blew kisses back to the crowd. It wasn’t just the Jays home opener, I continued. It was their first game ever. It was pretty surreal stuff. It took place at Exhibition

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY Stadium. There was no Rogers Centre back then. No SkyDome, either, the current home’s original handle. More than 44,000 fans took it in. But quite a few missed the first pitch due to – wait for it – traffic jams. It was pretty cold and it snowed before the game. The maintenance crew had to squeegee it off the field before the action could start. The 48th Highlanders played The Star Spangled Banner. Anne Murray sang O Canada. The crowd occasionally chanted “We Want Beer” because Exhibition Stadium did not allow the sale of suds. It was the only stadium in the league not to do it. For the record, I didn’t chant. Neither did Mom. Roy Hartsfield was the

Jays manager and our boys of summer beat the Chicago White Sox 9-5 on a wintry day. That’s baseball, as they say. Bill Singer was the starting pitcher. Jerry Johnson got the win. Pete Vuckovich got the save. Alvis Woods belted a home run and Doug Ault smacked a pair. In summation, a good time was had by all. And that’s about it. “Any questions?” I asked with a smug look on my face. There was complete silence at first. None in the group could believe what they had just heard. Then they all chimed in. “You know, you’re dating yourself Jamie,” they each replied, one after another. “You’re really dating yourself.” Well, I was aghast. I couldn’t believe what I just heard. Here I was taking them on a heart-warming stroll down baseball memory lane, then, being young people, seemingly always preoccupied with

relationships, they had to change the subject. The nerve of them. Well, I wasn’t about to let that remark pass by. “Dating myself, puhlease. We’re not even Facebook friends, for heaven’s sake. We’re barely casual acquaintances. Don’t believe everything you read on Twitter. “And that selfie I took with myself? Come on. A child of four knows that was a completely harmless photo. We’re not even looking at each other in it. “And don’t waste your time commenting on my unauthorized autobiography, either. It’s not worth reading. Not a word of it is true. Heck, not one letter of it is true. Trust me. The moment the book comes out, I’m suing myself. For everything I’ve got.” 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

York U. plans to build new student centre York University is proposing to build a new student centre on the south end of its Central Campus Precinct. The university has applied for the development. A preliminary report for the development at 4700 Keele St. was presented to North York Community Council Tuesday. The development still requires public consultation and final approval from council.

The walk is aimed at young families, but even if you are older everyone enjoys a walk May through a park.” The book sets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and can’t be reserved, the branch said, adding it was still working out the number of book sets that will be available. Those who sign out books during the two-week program will be entered into a raffle to win beach volleyball court time at The

Hangar inside Downsview Park, and a food basket from Fresh City Farms. And if book sets are returned within two days of signing them out, an extra raffle ticket will be awarded. As for future Wild Reading Walk events, Deshman said they’ll see how this one goes before potentially offering it again for a full month in the fall. “We think it’s a really great way to engage people, the library, and the park,” he said.

City’s equity awards seek nominations by May 27 The nomination deadline for the city’s 2015 Access, Equity and Human Rights Awards has been extended until Wednesday, May 27 at 4 p.m. ”We are looking for people or programs that have had a significant impact on the lives of Torontonians by eliminating discrimination and barriers to equality,” Deputy Mayor Pam

McConnell said in a release. “We want to celebrate the residents and services that are helping to build an inclusive city where everyone can participate fully in the social, cultural, economic, recreational and political life of Toronto.” All recipients must be residents of Toronto, a service provided for city residents, or a building located in the city

that serves Toronto residents. Recipients will be confirmed by City Council in the fall, and the awards will be presented at a ceremony at City Hall Dec. 2. Last year’s award recipients included North York’s David Abbott (Aboriginal Affairs Award), Luke Anderson (Access Award for Disability Issues), Dr. Rosemary Moodie, Anne

Rochon Ford and Valerie Mah (Constance E. Hamilton Award on the Status of Women), Keisha Williams (Pride Award for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual and Two Spirited Issues), and Ritu Bhasin (William P. Hubbard Race Relations Award).

According to a city hall press release, Wallace is currently the Ontario Public Service Visiting Fellow at the School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Toronto. He has been in public service since 1981, and has served as Secretary to Cabinet, Head of the Ontario Public Service and also as Deputy Minister of Finance and Secretary to the Treasury Board.

replacement for Pennachetti was “an exhaustive, professionally run search process.” He said, “In Peter Wallace, we may have one of the most respected public servants in all of Canada who has now agreed to come and be the leader of the Toronto public service.” Wallace was so respected that when council was originally considering a replacement for Pennachetti in the fall, Pennachetti called on him to help advise the search committee when Pennachetti was planning an earlier departure in 2014. Wallace told report-

Pastrami, poutine and other street fare will be easier to get – and much easier to sell – from the side of trucks after Toronto Council approved more relaxed rules for food trucks last week. Council voted to approve the new rules from the city’s Legislation Committee that will ease many of the restrictions that food truck operators say have been hampering their ability to do business, and restaurant owners had said were necessary to keep

the mobile kitchens from driving them out of business. Among the changes: w Food trucks will now be able to set up in Green P street parking spots 30 metres from the front doors of restaurants as opposed to the current 50-metre rule. w It will be possible to buy licenses for shorter periods than a full year, which given Toronto’s winters isn’t practical for most food truck operators. Mayor John Tory touted the recommendations as a good compromise between

the operators. “Does this pose some challenges? Of course,” he said. “Do we have a chance to look at it later and make the necessary changes? Yes. What we’ve done here is to embrace and take advantage of positive change.” York West Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti disagreed, arguing the new rules would make it easier for food trucks to block signage that not just restaurants but other retailers spent money on in order to draw in customers. The new rules will be in place as of today.

Care for yourself, then care for others: Rose Reisman LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Rose Reisman’s resume boasts such titles as nutritionist, entrepreneur, author and TV personality – all of which have garnered her acclaim, yet one of her perhaps lesser known roles, but equally fulfilling, was that of caregiver. For years, her mother suffered from dementia and Reisman, with help from her sister, cared for her on a daily basis. It was a difficult period, recalled Reisman. “I remember feeling really anxious,” Reisman said. “I was missing out on exercise and eating well. I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, ‘I’m not taking care of myself.’” Almost eight million people in Canada are taking on the role of family caregiver. They are responsible for as much as 80 per cent of the needs

of those living with acute or chronic health issues. It’s a job that comes with its challenges, however, there is help. On Saturday, May 30, Saint Elizabeth Health Care, athome services for family caregivers, presents The Caregiver Show, which takes place at the Centennial College’s Progress Campus Athletics Wellness Centre. The show is a one-day event providing caregivers with education and networking opportunities as well as a plethora of resources. It is brought to Toronto residents by Metroland Media Toronto and Downsizing Divas. Reisman is one of the guest speakers along with Teepa Snow, an occupational therapist who works as a dementia care and dementia education specialist. With an independent practice, Snow has clini-

Rose Reisman

cal appointments with Duke University’s School of Nursing and UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine. Obesity and anxiety can be occupational hazards for caregivers, Reisman said. “What happens is, when you’re taking care of others, your own health fails,” she said, adding that caregivers put themselves at risk of such illnesses as heart disease and cancer. “Your immune

system goes down. You’ve got to remember to eat.” Reisman advises starting slowly, not only for caregivers, but for anyone seeking to change their eating habits for the better. Stick to Canada’s Food Guide. Try to eat three out of the four food groups at every meal. Have a piece of whole grain bread with a piece of cheese and some fruit. “It’s that easy,” she said. For snacks, consume two of the four food groups. Eating according to Canada’s Food Guide will provide sustenance for at least three hours. “Sleep is really important,” Reisman added. Reisman, who is on the committee for the Women’s Brain Health Initiative (www. womensbrainhealth.org), which creates education programs and funds research to combat brain aging diseases that affect women, said there are particular foods one can eat to promote brain health. Brain disease, she said, starts in our 20s. These “brain foods” include

berries, which contain the antioxidant anthocyanidin that helps fight inflammation and oxidation, dark greens, such as kale or baby kale, broccoli and brussels sprouts and fish, like salmon, which prevents inflammation that causes plaque buildup in the brain. “The hardSaturday est thing is changing your lifestyle,” Reisman said. She speaks from experience. She was in her early 30s, a mother of four children, and an avid runner, who thought she was healthy until a cholesterol check provided a rude awakening. “My cholesterol levels were off the Richter scale,” Reisman recalled. Although she was slim, genetics were working against her. Reisman’s father and aunt had died of heart failure in their 50s. “I really had to educate myself. I started reading (food) labels,” she said. “I know a lot

may

Food and nutrition expert will be speaking at The Caregiver Show

about food, but I read a lot. It’s been a 22-year journey.” Initially, Reisman said convincing people that healthy food could taste good, was an uphill battle. Her book, Rose Reisman Brings Home Light Cooking, was instrumental in changing people’s opinion. It sold more than 400,000 copies. In addition to her books, her show on the Life Network, Lighten Up with Rose Reisman, also served as a way to get her message out. She credits her husband, who is in real estate, for the inspiration behind Rose Reisman Catering, The Art Of Eating Well. He would tell her about his business lunches that were heavy and most often unhealthy. In September, Reisman will launch a school lunch program in an effort to encourage students to eat healthy.

The Caregiver Show takes place at Centennial College’s Progress Campus, 941 Progress Ave., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Learn more by visiting www. caregivershow.ca

columns streetcars to stay off the tracks wVintage If you were looking forward to hopping on the TTC’s vintage streetcar fleet this summer, get ready for some bad news. The Presidents’ Conference Committee or PCC streetcar, was a staple of Toronto transit 60 years ago, and the TTC has kept two of the vehicles in operation for some summer holiday service, usually running on the Harbourfront 509. But with last year’s brutal winter requiring intense maintenance of the well-past-its-prime regular streetcar fleet, TTC spokesperson Brad Ross admitted on Twitter, there just wasn’t enough time to get the PCCs up and running in time for the summer. Pity. SHAPE FUTURE OF TORONTO BIKE PLAN wHELP

With patio season well underway, Entertainment District pedestrians will be able to enjoy a little more space on John Street. A new pedestrian zone on John has been designated between Queen Street and Adelaide Street that includes four metres of additional sidewalk space, decorative planters and room to expand street patios. The local BIA is touting the zone as a way to enhance the public realm on John, as well as provide more accommodation for mobility challenged pedestrians. The pedestrian zone is in effect until Oct. 19. Rahul Gupta is The Mirror’s transit reporter. His column runs every Thursday. Reach him on Twitter: @TOinTRANSIT

There was good news for the Ford family at Mount Sinai Hospital this week: Rob Ford – father, son, husband, city councillor and former mayor – came through a difficult surgery as well as can be expected. Really, this is not big news for the city, except of course it is. Ford has become a gravitational singularity for Toronto municipal news. Reporters across town were on tenterhooks, waiting to find out how things went for the councillor for Ward 2 and his eightmonth battle with cancer. Ford’s affable executive assistant Dan Jacobs took the point on Monday, providing regular updates as to the progress of the 10-hour surgery, and then on Tuesday with details of his boss’ recovery. As I write this, it looks pretty good. City councillors have had health challenges before, but rarely have their issues gathered such attention. Ford will be off work for four months. Ward 44 Councillor

david nickle the city Ron Moeser was off work for much longer than that, dealing with the complications from surgery on his ankle during the last term. But few noticed. Of course, Moeser is no Rob Ford. In many respects, Moeser ought not mind that he’s not: Ford’s fame comes in part from his mayoralty, but in larger part for his sins. Thanks to Ford’s eventually admitted drug and alcohol abuse issues, and the behaviour that surrounded it, he and his family became central figures in the story of Toronto over the past four years. And they are still in it. In the next four months, Ford’s brother Doug – who last term was Ford’s replacement in Ward 2, political wing-man and eventually replacement in his mayoral re-election bid – will be back on the job, as a volunteer in the Ward 2 office. Again, under ordinary

circumstances this is no big deal. Lots of councillors put their families to work either in their offices as volunteers or on the ground in the ward. Doug won’t be back on council, won’t be shaping policy, probably won’t even be in the office that much. He’ll just be helping out. Except, of course, it won’t be that simple. If Doug Ford doesn’t insert himself into political debates and personality politics, then we in the media will pull him on stage. Rob has made it clear as his health improves, so too does the prospect that he’ll be making a play for a second term as mayor in 2018, and a part of the next four months will be an exercise in making certain that the Ford name remains in the public eye. Doug, who last term took to scrums like the proverbial duck to water, will be doing his best to make sure our gaze doesn’t falter.
