Putting on your best sour face to fight Lyme disease TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com A young woman from Scarborough is challenging everyone to bite a lime to raise awareness of Lyme disease.

Paige Spencer brought the Lyme Disease Challenge to Brad Duguid’s office last week, where she and the Scarborough-Centre MPP put their best sour faces on display, posing for photos while biting lime wedges.

The challenge encourages people to bite a lime wedge, take a photo and share it on social media to spread awareness of the disease.

Photos are shared online using the hashtags #LymeDiseaseChallenge and #TakeABiteOutOfLyme. Like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, people doing the Lyme Disease Challenge can nominate others to participate.

After being nominated, people can choose to upload a photo of their own and/or donate to a Lyme disease organization.

Spencer has late-stage Lyme disease. The 22-year-old believes she was infected 19 years ago, likely in the Rouge Valley, though she said it’s hard to know exactly where she contracted it. She went undiagnosed for 14 years until testing positive for Lyme disease five years ago.

“I love this challenge, it’s great awareness,” Spencer said. “It’s quite amazing how one simple act can go so far and affect so many people in a positive way. People will remember

it, it’s something that makes its mark, and that’s so important.”

In Ontario, Lyme disease is spread through bites from infected blacklegged ticks, also called deer ticks. Through the challenge, Spencer hopes to make more people aware of how to protect themselves from tick bites, and what to do in the event of a bite.

“It’s so important that people are aware of how to remove a tick properly, you don’t just rip it out, there are steps,” she said, noting

proper removal helps reduce the risk of disease transmission.

Blacklegged ticks sit on tall grasses and shrubs, with arms outstretched, waiting to grab on to animals or humans. People can reduce the risk of tick bites by staying in the centre of trails, and wearing DEET-based bug repellents and light-coloured clothing that makes it easier to spot ticks, which can be as small as poppy seeds. Wearing long-sleeve shirts, and pants tucked into socks, also helps prevent bites.

To remove a tick properly, grab the head of the tick as close to the skin as possible with fine-tip tweezers or a tick remover from a tick kit, pulling straight away from the skin gently but firmly. You can also get help from a medical professional.

People should do “tick checks” after visiting bushy areas to catch ticks before they bite, Spencer noted, and know the symptoms.

Early symptoms of Lyme disease can include headache and fatigue, fever and chills, and muscle and joint pain, as well as a stiff neck and rash. Left untreated, the disease can cause heart and neurological problems.

Duguid was happy to take the challenge and help Paige raise awareness.

“From the minute I met Paige, she’s been an inspiration. She’s not only been a trooper in fighting through the disease herself, but I think she’s been an example of what you can do to make a difference for others,” he said.

Driver charged with impaired in fatal Steeles Avenue crash A 57-year-old Whitby man faces eight charges in connection with a fatal head-on crash early Sunday on Steeles Avenue east of Reesor Road.

Toronto police allege a westbound blue Ford pickup truck attempted to pass a grey Toyota Camry, also travelling westbound, at the top of a hill and struck an eastbound black Honda Civic head-on in the eastbound lane around 2:50 a.m. The Civic then collided with the Camry.

The Civic driver, a 23-year-old woman, was pronounced dead on scene.

The driver of the truck and a passenger in the Civic were taken to hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries.

The driver of the pickup, Leroy Coore, 57, of Whitby, is charged with dangerous operation of a

motor vehicle causing death, impaired driving causing death, refusing a breath sample causing death, criminal negligence causing death, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, impaired driving causing bodily harm, refusing a breath sample causing bodily harm and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.

Police are asking anyone with information to call Det. Const.

Scott Matthews at 416-808-1949 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.

Jose Colindres, 64, of Toronto was arrested Monday, Aug. 15 and is charged with five counts of sexual assault, three counts of sexual interference and three counts of sexual exploitation.

The injured man was taken to hospital in non-life-threatening condition.

Police also located two firearms along with several shell casings.

While dealing with the debilitating disease has been “hell” for Spencer, she remains positive and takes life a day at a time.

“It’s been a roller coaster,” she shared. “I’ve been in and out of hospitals all over the States for treatment, pain so unimaginable that you literally think you’re dying.”

She’s happy the Canadian government is creating a federal framework on Lyme disease, and the Ontario government launched a public awareness campaign as part of its “Combating Lyme Disease Through Collaborative Action: Ontario’s 10 Step Education and Awareness Plan” that was released in July.

“Those are such big steps to me,” Spencer said. “We were at a halt, and nobody wanted to say the L word.”

She hopes the initiatives will spur more government funds for research.

“It’s been a disease that people haven’t understood, it can be very hard to diagnose, extremely hard to understand,” she said. “That’s why we need to move forward, so we can get funding, we can get proper research done.”

Along with the challenge, Spencer is spreading awareness and offering support through The Lyme Files, a Facebook page she operates.

She is also in the process of founding Lyme Youth of Canada, a support group for young people.

She stressed that while Lyme is a scary disease, she wants people to be aware, not afraid.

Toronto right to make water work a priority

WRitE uS

S

pending billions of dollars on replacing wellaged watermains and other infrastructure projects may not be the most exciting thing in Toronto’s budget.

But it’s something that should have been a top priority long time ago.

As noted in the Metroland special report featured in this week’s edition, the infrastructure backlog is now more than $2.6 billion with $1.6 billion of that amount allocated for Toronto Water projects.

And according to the City of Toronto website, there is an average of 1,600 watermain breaks annually, resulting from either the mechanical or structural failure of an underground pipe.

One would think the older OuR ViEW pipes, some dating back to the 1850s, would be the ones to City puts aside blame for the majority of waterbreaks. $5.6 billion for main But Michael D’Andrea, director water projects of the city’s engineering and construction services, explains the thinner walled spun cast models installed over the post-war period are actually degrading faster.

Most of those pipes are located outside of downtown, and not surprisingly the highest break rates are experienced in North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke as the watermains in these areas are also located in predominantly clay soil as opposed to sand.

It’s a city-wide issue and with more development taking place across the city due to Toronto’s development boom, the financial implications of not replacing well-aged watermains will be more devastating than the financial costs of doing so.

The higher frequency of extreme thunderstorms due to climate change is certainly not going to ease the urgency of taking on such a huge infrastructure project.

So it’s a good start for the city to commit $5.6 billion for water upgrades over the next 10 years to reduce its underground-infrastructure backlog down to $265 million by 2025.

Let’s hope this concerted effort to address the backlog of renewal needs will continually be backed by a healthy budget. Otherwise, expect more stories of watermain breaks leaving many residents without running water especially during the winter.

Some food for thought for watching Rio Olympics During the Rio Olympics, those of us early birds in the office make it a point to gather for a Games recap before work starts. It’s always a very animated discussion.

And Drake is kind enough to provide the music. No, not that Drake. We wish. We’re talking Melvin Drake. He’s in IT. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard IT rap.

Anyhow, the game plan for the get-togethers is to get everybody up to speed with what happened the day before and make them aware of what to keep an eye on in the day ahead. But with a week and a half of Rio 2016 TV telecasts behind us, we decided to veer from the usual babble operandi and turn our gaze to the Olympic coverage itself. We focused on one thing in particular our biggest Games telecast pet peeve: the announcers’ use of the word “medal”.

Medal is no longer a noun anymore. It appears to be strictly a verb. Before an event announcers routinely say he or she is expected to medal or

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY not expected to medal. Then after it’s completed, that he or she medalled or wasn’t able to medal.

The use of medal as a verb is nothing new. It has been going on for the last VI Summer Games and V Winter Games and many viewers talk this way too, now. But the real worry within our group is that other Olympic terms are going to follow that lead.

Announcers have turned a lot of other nouns into verbs and fans are copying them instantly. Listen closely to your daily Olympic conversations viewers and you’ll see what I mean. They now go something like this: 1. “So? Don’t keep me in suspense. Did they anthem yet?”

“Yep. You just missed it.

They podiumed 10 minutes ago.”

2. “Hey, did that kayaker silver again like he did in

London 2012?”

“Not quite. But at least he ended up bronzing.”

Well, we had our usual lively back and forth and the general consensus was that we were all getting worked up over nothing. So it was time to get to the real purpose of our daily Olympic huddle: share a quick bite before work. It was my turn to pick up the tab, so I proceeded to take the breakfast orders.

“So how do pancakes sound everyone,” I cheerily inquired.

“None for me today thanks, Jamie,” Jackie responded. “I already waffled.”

“I’ll get you next time then.

What about you, Arjun?”

“Put me down for next time, too. I’m afraid I already French Toasted.”

“Zayanna?”

“No can do. I burritoed before I left. Twice, actually.

I’m stuffed.”

Five more co-workers also passed. One because he’d oatmealed. Another because she’d BLT’d. The other three saying they’d honeybunned,

doughnutted and bageled.

Heck, even Drake declined and he had only double doubled, for heaven’s sake.

There was just one person left. “So what about you Erin,” I mumbled meekly.

“Hate to do this to you, big guy, but I’m going to have to take a rain check too.

Er, I mean, pancake check.

Whatever. The point is I forgot all about you buying breakfast today and I Egg McMuffinned on the way over.”

“You mean the Mcway Mcover, I hope,” I corrected.

Nobody McLaughed.

To u g h Mc C r ow d . T h e $64,000 McQuestion was: do I McContinue?

I thought about it, but what’s the point? It was obvious I didn’t have a chance of humour medalling in this group. Better just to McQuit while I’m McAhead.

Pressure on Toronto’s watermain work RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com A road closed by construction – asphalt torn up, dust and debris everywhere, workers in construction helmets milling about – has become such a common sight it’s likely you won’t pay much thought to the work taking place, much less what’s going on underneath.

This summer, the City of Toronto is tackling an unprecedented amount of construction, necessitated by an infrastructure backlog of more than $2.6 billion; $1.6 billion of that is for Toronto Water projects, including replacing well-aged watermains.

By tripling spending – Toronto has already committed $5.6-billion for water upgrades over the next 10 years, the largest infrastructure program in the country – the city projects to reduce its underground-infrastructure backlog down to $261 million by 2025.

“We’re making a concerted effort to address our backlog of renewal needs,” said Michael D’Andrea, director of the city’s engineering and construction services.

This year, the city has earmarked more than $550 million for infrastructure, $227 million of that for watermains and another $71 million for basement flooding protection, which includes “upsizing” sewer infrastructure to absorb the deluge of extreme thunderstorms – a more frequent occurrence due to climate change.

A total of 238 kilometres worth of sewer and watermain replacement is scheduled for completion by the end of 2016.

Some of Toronto’s sewer infrastructure dates back to the 1850s.

That might seem like a long time, but it’s actually the underneath infrastructure installed over the post-war period which is degrading faster.

Unlike the older water pipes which are thicker and have proven more durable, it’s the thinner walled spun cast models located outside of downtown which are corroding and breaking down much faster, according to

Dan Pearce/MetrolanD

Above, a construction worker prepares a pipe to be fitted for the watermain replacement work that is taking place on River Street at Shuter Street this summer.

D’Andrea. “(Spun cast pipe is) the worst infrastructure in the ground and when a watermain breaks in the winter, it’s usually one of those,” he said.

Another need for replacing watermains is the ongoing intensification fuelled

by Toronto’s development boom.

A building going up means more pressure on the water system, so planning must account for anticipated increases to population, even if that’s 25 years away.

“We can’t forecast how quickly developers will turn that land into development, we just need to be thinking about whether they’re likely to and make sure we’ve got the infrastructure,” said D’Andrea.

On River Street, one such project got underway this summer between Queen Street East and Gerrard Street.

The work is ambitious, as it will include a complete roadreconstruction plus beautification.

Before any of that happens three crews of approximately eight, including a foreman, a backhoe operator, pipe layers and general labourers, are

replacing the pipes which given the age of the neighbourhood are of the inferior variety and likely made of lead, presenting possible health risks.

The workers must also keep a close eye for existing infrastructure such as gas mains or subway tracks. Planning helps map out the locations and ensures utility companies are made aware of the work, crucial given the inherent dangers of unwittingly interfering with a live gas main.

“If you break that stuff you get a free ride to the moon,” said Harry Persaud, a senior engineer with Toronto roads.

Persaud, who was on site at a job inspecting the work carried out by a private contractor, estimates around 40 metres of watermain replacement is completed per day.

While the city tries to coordinate the necessary water and road work into one project in order to minimize expenditures, the ever-increasing urgency to get broken or degraded pipes replaced means sometimes that’s just not going to happen, admitted D’Andrea.

“Sometimes you just can’t wait,” he said.

Benjamin Priebe/MetrolanD

Food a big part of upcoming Tamil Fest

Man seriously injured in fall from school roof

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com

An 18-year-old man is recovering from serious facial injuries after he fell from the roof of a Scarborough school early yesterday.

Police allege three teen males gained access to the roof of Sir John A. Macdonald Collegiate at 2300 Pharmacy Ave. At about 3 a.m., one of them fell about 10 feet, through an opening in the roof, landing in the school’s hydro vault.

When the 18-year-old was heard moaning and didn’t come out of the vault, one of his friends climbed in to come to his aid.

The third teen then called 911.

Kandiah Rajakulasingam isn’t just bringing his food to Tamil Fest this month, he’s bringing his success story.

A Tamil from Sri Lanka, Rajakulasingam came to Canada in 1987 with no money at all, but in 1993 he opened a business in a small unit in Scarborough.

“In the beginning, I only had Tamil customers,” he said at a second location in Markham, where most visitors to his Babu Catering and Take Out aren’t Tamil.

“I put on my sign, ‘Taste the flavour of Tamil Eelam.’”

Rajakulasingam - who’s flying in a celebrity chef from South India - is just one of 15 food vendors at what’s expected to be Scarborough’s largest-ever street festival, one which will close Markham Road south of Steeles Avenue from Aug. 26 to 28.

For them, it’s a chance to sell Tamil favourites such as kothu roti, masala dosa, mutton rolls and hoppers to a wider, hungry public.

But like the Canadian Tamil Congress, whose first street fair was a runaway success in Morningside Heights last year, Rajakulasingam sees Tamil Fest as a good deal more.

“It’s a good opportunity for us to showcase our traditions, our cultural dancing, everything.”

Tamils began arriving as refugees in

chants and scores of street performers on the road.

In a basement of a mid-Scarborough building, children at Prima Dance Studio practiced both traditional and semi-traditional dances, “so that people watching get the feeling of being back home,” said studio director Tharani Thayaparan.

Traditional Tamil dance “mainly depends upon the drum beats,” and is performed during the harvest festival, Pongal, in bare feet, said Jailani Basha, Prima’s choreographer.

Being the children of emigrants, his students have never seen such dances in Sri Lanka, so Basha must explain their history, he said.

“I want to teach them so they can realize how big is their culture.”

Also at Tamil Fest will be students of Scarborough’s Aathi Silambam Martial Arts Academy, the only Canadian school for a South Indian martial art banned by British colonizers but passed down through families.

Using the bamboo staff or bare hands, silambam provides an efficient workout, and Master Pathamakumar Velummylum of Scarborough, who runs the school, wants people of “the other nations” to enjoy its benefits, he said.

“It’s been pushed out, and now we want to bring it back,” added Shantibushan Sripathy, senior student at the school.

For more information on the festival, please go to www.tamilfest.ca

B a b u C a t e r i n g ’s K u g a n a n t h e r a Muthukkumarasamy prepares kothu roti, one of the Tamil foods that will be introduced to visitors to the Canadian Tamil Congress’ upcoming Tamil Fest street festival.

Canada in the 1980s as a long civil war in Sri Lanka destroyed many lives - this month, the Congress is marking the 30th anniversary of the rescue of 155 Tamils drifting off Newfoundland - and many settled in Scarborough and Markham.

A festival exhibit, the Tamil Canadian Mobile Museum, will tell the community’s history from the 1960s to now, while others will explain aspects of Tamil culture and history.

There will, of course, be a midway, mer-

FELL INTO HYDRO VAULT “It’s just fortunate they didn’t touch any of the live electricity in there,” Det. Sgt. Gerry Heaney said. “They could’ve been electrocuted. They had no idea what they were dealing with, the danger.”

The 18-year-old received a broken jaw and broken teeth and was taken to Sunnybrook hospital in serious but non-life-threatening condition.

“He fell on his face,” Heaney said. “He’s expected to make a full recovery, but he does have some serious facial injuries.”

All three teens were given trespass notices

by Toronto District School Board security staff.

The incident is being treated as an accident, and no criminal charges will be laid.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Inspiring Scarborough’s entrepreneurs When Heather Crosby was getting her career off the ground, entrepreneurship wasn’t a likely choice. A member of the Baby Boom generation, Crosby says the word just didn’t exist at the time.

Last week, Crosby, who has 25-plus years of business and entrepreneurship expertise under her belt, shared this insight with a room full of predominantly ’70s, ’80s and ’90s babies belonging to generations that have very much embraced entrepreneurship.

Take Andre, the young creative who, fresh out of university, created an intuitive solution to fixing what he identifies as a broken food cycle in North America by designing a way to grow fresh produce indoors.

Or Asia, founder of Wild Moon Jewelry — a line of handmade, eco-friendly fine silver and brass jewelry — who later this year will head overseas to facilitate youth entrepreneurship and jewelry-making workshops for women in Ghana.

codes often meant we were left out of the picture.

That’s why what S.E.L.L. represents is long overdue.

Brown and his business partner, Richard West, are determined to prove that with the right infrastructure in place the same innovation that happens in the downtown core can happen east of Victoria Park Avenue. The idea is to cultivate a “world-class ecosystem” West says, so that Scarborough people of all socio-economic backgrounds can thrive as innovators and entrepreneurs.

Brown promises that S.E.L.L. will do whatever it takes: hold regular meet-ups, bring in high-calibre speakers, leverage resources, and create guerilla-style networking opportunities As the saying goes “timing is everything,” so perhaps, for Scarborough, the time is now.

priya ramanujam MILLENNIAL MIND Or Justin Brown, one of two visionaries behind the Scarborough Entrepreneur Leadership Launchpad (S.E.L.L.) and the reason that all of these brilliant minds were gathered in one room last Friday evening at Centennial College’s Progress Campus.

Having started my own entrepreneurial journey in Scarborough just over a decade ago, I know what it’s like to be young, passionate and driven to make something happen. I also know what it’s like to feel alone and without resources or support.

Though I’m not a Baby Boomer, I can relate on a certain level with Crosby’s experience. For me, a young person growing up in Malvern, entrepreneurship was rarely offered, let alone encouraged, as a viable career option.

My friends and I were very much cut from the innovative and entrepreneurial cloth of our generation, but our postal

New program provides emergency mortgage loans to homeowners On November 1, 2013, Expert Mortgage launched the “85-Alive” program in Ontario.

The concept was simple: as long as you had a pulse, Expert Mortgage would provide you with a home equity loan, up to 85 per cent of the value of your property. No job required. Bad credit, OK. The reason why Expert Mortgage could offer a “no questions asked” lending program, while the major banks could not, is that they represent over 200 private lenders who lend strictly on property value. These subprime lenders specialize in mortgage clients who have had some bad luck, and need a helping hand until they get back on their feet.

The program has been so successful that Expert Mortgage can barely keep up with the volume of calls. To help fund this unexpectedly large number of borrowers, it has partnered up with dozens more private lenders.

Licensed Mortgage Agent

on making payments on her mortgage when she has no income, Anita responds, “We were four months behind on our mortgage and they saved our house. My husband has been unemployed for nine months. He won’t be unemployed forever. We used the 85-Alive loan to pay off all our debts. We also had $25,000 left over that we put in the bank for emergencies. And to make life easy, they worked it out so we have no mortgage payments for 12 months.”

For more details on the ”85-Alive” program, contact Rashida Riel, RashidaRiel.ca, 1-888-334-6089.

Rashida Riel, Expert Mortgage’s “85-Alive” representative for the Scarborough, says, “We’re seeing mostly homeowners behind on mortgage and property taxes. The banks are refusing to restructure their loans. Many of these people have lost jobs due to the bad economy... or they’re self-employed. Unless you are a perfect applicant, the bank doesn’t want to talk to you.”

But not everyone condones Expert Mortgage’s easy lending criteria. A local real estate agent with 25 years of experience, who has asked to remain anonymous, says, “When this market turns down, it’s going to get ugly! It’s utter financial suicide for Expert Mortgage to be giving money away so easily to clients without the ability to make payments. I’d be surprised if they’re still in business five years from now.”

TREE MARKS CENTRE’S 40TH ANNIVERSARY: Richard Viles (left), Neala Taylor and Dave Adamson celebrate the planting of a commemorative tree during a ceremony honouring the 40th anniversary of the Tony Stacey Centre for Veterans Care on Lawson Road.

Donations sought for coyote pups ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com

A coyote shot by police last month in Scarborough remains alive and most of his sick pups have been captured, the Toronto Wildlife Centre says.

The wildlife char ity, headquartered in North York, said it has reports and photos confirming the father coyote continues to care for his remaining pup despite having a gunshot wound to his back leg and a debilitating skin disease called mange.

The animal was shot by police near Euclid Avenue and Morrish Road July 23 after a concerned citizen reported it was roaming around the area “chewing his own leg” and looking in “rough shape.”

The coyote fled after being shot.

TWC criticized police for shooting the animal. Police maintained they were protecting the public.

On July 30, TWC staff captured two pups, one of whom died within 24 hours from severe mange and emaciation.

On Aug. 1, three more pups were captured and are recovering from mange as is the surviving pup that was previously captured.

TWC veterinary technician Aaron Archer contracted a mild case of mange while caring for the pups, whose mother was struck and killed by a car last month.

It’s now a race against time to capture the injured and sick father coyote and the remaining sick pup.

“We have no idea how long that’s going to take,” TWC executive director Nathalie Karvonen said in an interview.

“We’ve been working on a lot of different approaches.

Coyotes are notoriously difficult to catch because they are extremely nervous of people and wary of anything

strange in their environment like a trap, so we have tried a number of different trapping methods, and there are traps set out there now.”

The captured pups are believed to be three to four months old, which is equivalent to being a tween, and are being fed a diet of mice, Puppy Chow, fruits and eggs while in TWC care.

“The goal would be to rehabilitate them to the point where they’re healthy normal coyotes and then return them to the wild,” Karvonen said.

“They do need to go back fairly close to the area that they came from. That area is actually good habitat for coyotes, which is of course why they’re there to start with.”

TWC is asking for donations to help with the costs of capturing and caring for the coyotes.

Pinterest-worthy window treatments for every room in your home Windows let in natural sunlight, keep out nosy neighbours and create instant style in any room.

Yet we often forget to pay as much attention to window treatments as we would to any other decorative or functional element.

Use this handy guide to make a statement with the windows in every room of your home.

Living room Window treatments for your living or family room are definitely not one size fits all — you’ll want to customize them to fit the form and function of the space.

If your window doubles as a patio door, vertical shades are your best bet for easy access. Choose lighter colours and flatter fashions for smaller rooms, create depth with layers or build a window cornice for extra elegance.

Hang window treatments from the ceiling instead of where the window begins to make the room look larger.

For the best of both worlds, try for Silhouette Duolite at Hunter Douglas, which combines softly diffused light shading with a room-darkening roller shade nestled behind it in the same headrail.

Probably the most popular room in your home, this ought to be a welcoming environment with durable materials that’ll stand up to frequent cleaning from spills and cooking messes, so look for these qualities in a window treatment as well.

Pope mug proves popular Well I finally did it. I got rid of all my phone books. And a very useful book I had detailing postal codes.

Obsolete all of them, unfortunately. Or fortunately, I’m not sure.

But it’s “all in the box” now as my friend at work has said.

All in the box, as in all on the computer or all online having made phone books, well, completely obsolete in paper form.

I was speaking to another friend at work recently and asked what he was doing for the weekend.

As an avid fisherman I expected he was attending one fishing derby or another or at least casting a line.

There are plenty of highquality fishing opportunities just outside the city, or inside for that matter.

Turns out he was stuck in town as his phone and cable were cut near his home and he had to go home to at least monitor the situation.

Perhaps there were workers

john lyon LYON AROUND in his house, I don’t know.

“Oh well, at least you can listen to the Jays game on the radio,” I said.

Hearing the classic tones of Jerry Howarth relating the play-by-play of those playoffbound Jays is a very popular pursuit in Toronto.

The friend hesitated. He stammered “I don’t think I actually own a radio”.

With his cable and internet on the fritz, if he wanted to listen to the game he thought he might have to actually listen in his car.

I was out garage saling in Scarborough this past weekend and with one of my many purchases a lovely gentleman threw in a Pope mug compete with an actual rosary.

Not sure which Pope. The seller thought it was “the Polish one”. I’m going to say it was Pope John Paul II. I gifted the Pope mug to

my wife her being an actual real, live in-the-flesh Catholic school teacher.

She loved it and within minutes the picture was on Facebook, had dozens of “likes” and I was universally thought to be a good husband for getting her the Pope mug.

Good score.

What’s the point of all this?

Who would have thought 10 to 15 years ago that I’d be getting rid of obsolete phone books, that my friend would not own a radio and that a Pope mug gift would be known to dozens, maybe hundreds of friends within minutes of me gifting it.

Turns out something like a Pope mug is more important than phone books nowadays.

I am going to have to get with the times.

As she prepared to come back to Toronto in August 2012, Jess started making plans to start a business.

“I was thinking, what are some great products that do well in Japan and we don’t have over here? Onigiri was the thing I decided to focus on,” she recalls.

Before & After School Programs Register online now for September

Once back in Toronto, she applied for a competition being delivered by Enterprise Toronto. “I ended up becoming a finalist,” says Jess. “It was a push – if I hadn’t been a part of the contest I might have just sat on the idea.”

“From the competition there was one person who wanted to sell onigiri, so I sold her some,” she says. “Without that contest, I don’t think it would have happened because every encounter since then has led to something else.”

Abokichi looks to make Japanese convenience store snack a Toronto favourite It was during a seven-year stint in Japan that Thornhill-native Jess Mantell first tried Onigiri – a Japanese snack made of rice balls stuffed with pickled or salty ingredients, sometimes wrapped in seaweed and commonly sold at convenience stores and gas stations in the country.

PLASP Child Care Services is a not-for-profit, charitable organization, providing award winning licensed programs for children, for 40 years.

PLASP operates programs in more than 200 locations, and offers a learning program that is consistent with Ministry of Education policies, pedagogy and curriculum.

By June 2013, she and her partner Fumi Tsukamoto, had incorporated their onigiri concoctions under Abokichi . At first they rented kitchens and sold through shops but eventually moved into the space at the Annex Hodgepodge, taking the shop over form the previous owner and adding onigiri to the existing menu. They’ve also developed a condiment called Okazu, a crunchy filling made of miso, sesame oil, garlic and chili that they often use to spice up their handmade triangular onigiri.

Kindergarten Before & After School

We’re hoping to build Abokichi out into a brand that’s much larger than these two Japanese food products,” explains Jess.

Licensed programs are provided by highly trained staff for school aged children up to 12 years. Children participate in fun, age appropriate activities that foster the children’s sense of well-being and belonging.

Registered Early Childhood Educators provide licensed programs that provide a seamless day for children and families. Programs complement the regular school day and follow the Ministry of Education curriculum, “The Extended-Day Program.”

A new hearing aid offer has been introduced for retirees. The hearing aid is a great value, simple to operate and brings IMPROVED hearing to thousands!

®

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available.

The latest digital hearing aid technology is totally invisible when worn. It offers retirees the opportunity to defy hearing loss by compensating for your individual hearing loss in all situations, day and night.

Nobody can see it because it fits snugly and comfortably in your ear canal and uses the ear’s natural acoustics for natural sound quality.

Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about so there’s no need to keep fiddling and adjusting settings.

You can start enjoying life again as you concentrate on hearing, rather than thinking about your hearing aid.

These latest digital hearing aids continuously analyze incoming sounds and adapt to each individual situation, so you always get the best hearing possible. Even in background noise.

When speech and conversation sounds are detected, the sound is automatically increased at different frequencies so you can hear and understand it clearly, not just loudly.

You get all the benefits you want in a digital hearing aid without the obvious sign that you are wearing one because it’s completely invisible in most ears.

A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Medical Marijuana Ol’ Time Carnival on Saturday ….Is It Right for You?

Some say the meaning has gone missing from Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival, and an outdoor show in Scarborough this Saturday will give people a taste of it.

Carnival celebrations were once filled with costumed characters who were there to lampoon, to warn or to boast.

But these traditions, rooted in African folklore and the age of slavery in the New World, are not part of the monthlong carnival celebrations in Toronto, says a Scarborough woman. “Right now, there’s a lack of history. There’s a lot of beads and a lot of feathers and a lot of foil,” said Jackie Forde of the Cajuca Mas Arts Producers.

For years, Forde added, she

felt what Toronto’s carnival was bringing its audience was just a “vacuous” street party.

Traditional carnival is a celebration, but it’s not meaningless, she argued, and what the Toronto events need most is more depth, breadth and relevance.

LittLes Road PaRk Ol’ Time Carnival, Come Again!, the show Forde and her husband Clarence present at Littles Road Park from 4 to 7 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 20, is a reminder of carnival parades that included the sound of drummers, and where Midnight Robbers made speeches to the crowd.

It will feature a stick-fighting display (called Kalinda or Calenda), and such classic characters as the Blue Devils (who once drooled blood or spouted fire) and the Dame Lorraines (who are caricatures of plantation owners’ wives).

The park is east of Morningside Avenue and south of Sewells Road. The show is free. All of this, organizers say, is to educate younger generations in carnival lore “and to pay homage to the people who brought those stories with them on the slave ships to the Caribbean and the Americas.”

Visit www.dingolaytoronto. com for more info on this Saturday’s carnival.

Food and entertainment at festival >>>from page 1 Carnival Spice, Destiny Band, Ijo Vudu, Level Exodus Band and others.

There will be 45 vendors offering a variety of food and shopping opportunities. The

family-friendly event also has a kids zone, as well as drum and dance workshops, a beauty lounge, prize giveaways and more.

People can cheer on the Afro-Caribbean beauty queen

and dance competitions, and enjoy a drink in the event’s beer tent.

Free parking is available.
