TSH says its community outreach will help “develop new opportunities” for the

Local company benefits from federal investment Ali RAZA araza@insidetoronto.com S c a r b o ro u g h c o m p a n y Celplast Metallized Products Ltd. received an investment of $2.075 million from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) recently. Minister of State for FedDev Ontario Gary Goodyear and Scarborough Centre MP Roxanne James made the announcement at Celplast’s headquarters on Commander Boulevard last Friday. Celplast President Dante Ferrari and CEO Chuck Larsen were also present. The announcement was made after Goodyear and James received a tour of the facility with Ferrari and other management employees. “This sector is moving from the hardcore sweat and
greasy kinds of things to the high-tech robotics and very sophisticated equipment and technology,” Goodyear said. “And we need to do that in order to continue to compete with the rest of the world.” Goodyear mentioned October marks National Manufactur ing Month, which is an initiative started by Canadian manufacturers and exporters. The aim of the campaign, he said, is to raise awareness about the economic and social impacts and benefits of the manufacturing industry. James added October is also Small Business Month in Ontario, with a similar campaign to promote small businesses in the province and the GTA. “This is the first project announced through FedDev Ontario’s IGBP initiative,” she said. “The manufacturing

sector employs nearly 1.7 million Canadians. So we’re making particular efforts for
manufacturing businesses to succeed.” The funding will allow
Celplast to buy new equipment such as a metallizer machine. It hopes the new
equipment can help customize their products with its proprietary in-vacuum coating technology. The proprietary technology lets Celplast create a lowercost film with improved barrier properties for applications in food packaging and industrial markets. With these improvements, Celplast hopes to diversify its export markets and “strengthen” the advanced manufacturing sector in the GTA. As a result of the funding, 11 new full-time skilled positions are expected to emerge in the company. FedDev Ontario’s repayable contribution is through the Investing in Business Growth and Productivity (IBGP) initiative.

Many lessons learned from Hurricane Hazel
S
ixty years ago today, Toronto woke up to a scene of horror. On the night of Oct. 15, accumulated heavy rains associated with Hurricane Hazel led to flooding that killed 81 people. On Raymore Drive along the Humber River, 32 houses were washed away and 30 people were killed. Five volunteer firefighters died when their truck was swept away as they tried to help a stranded motorist caught in the Humber’s flood waters. Along with the Humber, the Don and Rouge rivers and Highland Creek flooded their banks with enormous amounts of fast-moving water. By the time it was over, some 4,000 families across southern Ontario and more than 1,800 in Toronto had been left homeless. While 1954 may seem a long time ago to many, the impacts of Hurricane Hazel and how it changed land usage and development in Toronto are felt to this day. Also, judging by the many letters we’ve received from readers regarding the 60th our view anniversary, it is still well remembered by those who lived through it or lost family members. See our Better collected coverage of Hurricane prepared for Hazel and letters from our readers at www.insidetoronto.com/torondiasters to-topics/4909272-hurricanehazel-60-years-later In her letter, Yvonne Rice remembers how she and her husband tried to help at Raymore Drive: “We drove to Raymore Drive and when we got there the Humber River was huge and houses were floating down the river with people on top screaming for help. The firemen were all there and had ropes and were making a human chain to reach the stranded people. I will never forget their cries for help as long as I live.” Madeline McDowell, who is now vice-chair of the Humber Watershed Alliance, was 13 when Hurricane Hazel struck. She said at the time many didn’t realize how deadly the storm had been until the next day. Coming on the heels of days of heavy rains in southern Ontario, Hurricane Hazel resulted in some 20 billion gallons of water rushing down the Humber, washing away everything in its path – bridges, houses, vehicles and people. After the hurricane, a conservation authority, now known as Toronto Region Conservation Authority, was formed to improve flood control measures and regulate development on flood plains. A hard lesson was learned by the death and destruction of Hurricane Hazel, but our city is now much better prepared for natural disasters.

Attention shoppers: embarrassing sale in Aisle 1
O
h, rats, I’m out of toilet paper. Man, I hate when that happens. I don’t need any this second, mind you. It’s not an emergency or anything. I just want to make sure I’m not caught without any the next time nature calls, or texts, or tweets, or whatever nature does these days to let us know that we have to go. What bugs me is all the trouble you have to go through before you get toilet paper. You have to put on a disguise, for heaven’s sake. You don’t dare go shopping for toilet paper without a fake nose and glasses. The manufacturers have made sure of that with their packaging. For some reason toilet paper only seems to be sold by the metric ton. So the moment you grab one of these monstrous bundles the whole store knows what you’ve bought. You can spot your purchase several time zones away, in fact. The toilet
jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY paper sticks so high out of your shopping cart it looks like you just won one of those giant stuffed pandas at the Ex. Heck, even NASA can pick it up on its radar screens all the way from Jupiter. If you were able to buy just one teensy weensy little roll, nobody would give you a second glance. But when you’re forced to get enough to last Tom Hanks 100 years on that deserted island he was stuck on in Cast Away, everybody around fears for their lives. Getting that much toilet paper at one time is tantamount to announcing: “Hey guess what I’m gonna being doing soon?” Ah, but how soon? That’s the $64,000 question. You can see it in the terrified eyes of shoppers when they see you rounding the corner with your huge package in tow. They look
at you as if they think you’re on the shot clock and they could be in peril. I swear you can hear the theme music from Jaws pounding in the background as you approach and the aisles immediately part like the Red Sea to let you pass by. The only thing missing is Charlton Heston leading the way. For the life of me I’ve never been able to figure out why the manufacturers want us to disclose to a room full of strangers that we need toilet paper when we don’t even discuss such personal matters with friends. I mean, when was the last time you heard somebody around the water cooler say, “Hey, Len, I was just telling Steve and Joey that you have a real nasty case of the runs.” Even doctors are uncomfortable talking about bathroom habits. They, of all people, should be used to such talk, but it makes them uneasy, too. When he/she wants to know about what’s going on with you behind
closed doors they tap dance around it like Gene Kelly, using the euphemism, bowel movements. Not so for toilet paper manufacturers. The large product we walk out with is akin to wearing a veritable sandwich board ad. Speaking of which, I’ve stalled long enough. I’ve got to get a move on and alert the shoppers at my neighbourhood store what I’m going to be up to later tonight. But before I head out, time to take one last costume inspection to make sure I can get in an and out of there without being recognized. Fake nose? Check. Fake glasses? Check. Red face hiding underneath the idiotic disguise? Check. Ready or not, here I come. Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much.

Hurricane Hazel’s damage Recalling a near-death experience to home made it unlivable
To the editor: Re: ‘Hurricane Hazel remembered 60 years later’, Oct. 9, The Mirror. When Hurricane Hazel hit us, I had just turned 14 a few days prior. We lived on Gilhaven Avenue, which was the last street off the bottom of Raymore Drive. We lived three houses in from the footbridge that washed out and sent water flooding around the bend and took out that row of houses at the bottom of Raymore. During the night we were woken by loud knocking on our door telling us to get to higher ground as the Humber was flooding its banks. Many of our neighbours and ourselves went up to the Westmount Army and Navy Club, which I believe was on Kingdom Street. They took us in for the night. The next morning when we came back to our home it was hard to believe the devastation. The river had risen so high
and spread out so much it looked like a lake. The bridge was gone and we then realized that so were the houses so close to us. Our basements were flooded and we weren’t allowed to stay. We were put up in motels along the lake shore. Eventually my brother and myself went to stay with our grandparents in Uxbridge while my mom, dad and younger brother went to live with relatives. After a few weeks, my mom and dad had enough of us being split up and decided we were all going back home. We were the first family to return and the Toronto Star came out and took our picture on our front porch and wrote an article about us. Our basement was still flooded and we had trouble with rats from a dump that was on the other side of the river. It was hard getting up into Weston without the bridge as we didn’t have a car.
HURRICANE
HAZEL 60 YEARS
What do you remember? Send us a letter to 175 Gordon Baker Rd. Toronto, ON, M2H 0A2 or by email to gpeacock@insidetoronto. com Compared to what happened around the corner from us, it was a small price to pay. I had known a younger girl in one of those houses whom I sometimes played with and traded comic books with. Sometime during the next year we were told we could no longer live in our houses anymore and all the families on Gilhaven were given a sum of money to relocate. Sandra Wilkie (nee Foote)
To the editor: Re: ‘Hurricane Hazel remembered 60 years later’, Oct. 9, The Mirror. When Hurricane Hazel hit on Oct. 15, 1954, I was working at the Bank of Commerce at St. Clair and Dufferin and my husband was picking me up to drive to Maple where we lived with my parents. We tried to go across Steeles Avenue and just west of Dufferin Street there was a dip in the road and we thought we could make it through as we could see headlights under the water approaching us from the West. That did not happen and the car stalled and we were pulled up against the guardrail with the water rushing around the car. Our groceries were floating around the back seat and as I knew my husband could not swim, we held hands and said our goodbyes to each other. Before we knew what was happening, someone had backed up to our car with his truck and a man dove under the water with a chain and
hooked it to our back bumper and pulled us to safety. We were so thankful and overwhelmed we did not get his name. When we got the car started again we went south to 385 Oakwood Ave.,a home of our friends whom we knew would let us dry out and stay the night. Our friend Bill Sloan had a truck and he suggested we go and help out. We drove to Raymore Drive and when we got there the Humber River was huge and houses were floating down the river with people on top screaming for help. The firemen were all there and had ropes and were making a human chain to reach the stranded people. I will never forget their cries for help as long as I live. My husband was a milkman at that time and on the Monday morning on his route in Woodbridge he was called upon to help pull people from the swollen waters West of Islington along Hwy. 7. I have spoken at different functions on how I was
involved and thank the good Lord I am still here today at almost 81 years to talk about it. Yvonne Rice
Father put on a brave face
To the editor: Re: ‘Hurricane Hazel remembered 60 years later’, Oct. 9, The Mirror. We lived near Bathurst and Wilson and my father tried so very, very hard to get us to safety to my grandmother’s house on Evelyn Avenue, near the Junction. He piled five kids in the car, pajamas, raincoats, boots, hats, gloves and teddy bears. We almost made it to Bathurst Street, but the little bridge was washed out. Back to our home, in the torrential downpour of rain and unbelievable winds. He carried us, one by one by one into the house. He was scared, little did we know! Will never forget.

Centennial breaks ground on new residence Centennial College hosted a groundbreaking ceremony to begin the construction of its new Residence and Culinary Arts Centre yesterday. The $85-million building offers a 740-student capacity residence and a culinary arts centre with seven kitchen labs, eight additional classrooms and a teaching restaurant. Chef Robert Rainford, Centennial culinary ambassador and Food Network personality, was present for the ceremony to promote the culinary arts centre. The college’s growth in the past decade has prompted it to seek more accommodations for its students. The new residence joins the former Howard Johnson hotel, now a 340-bed facility on Progress Avenue, which was the college’s first residence in 2001. The new residence has a central courtyard with a bathroom and kitchen in every one of the two- and four-bed suites. All residents have private

Will subway kill small business?
Some Scarborough business owners fear impact of long-term construction
MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com
G
iven the hype about Scarborough voters and subways, you’d think small business owners along the route of the proposed Bloor-Danforth line extension want construction to start tomorrow. But owners of several businesses along the McCowan Road route this week said they don’t want the so-called Scarborough Subway at all. “Once they start digging down there, that’s it, business is done,” said Noel Thomas, who opened a Caribbean take-out, Tropical Breeze, a year ago. “I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I’m not the big guy with all the money,” added Thomas, arguing the politicians who make decisions on transit projects don’t have to live with the results. “The big guys always squash the little guy.” Planning the extension could take four years and its precise route is unknown, but Wendy Biso, whose coffee shop is in the same Danforth Road strip plaza south of where the road merges into McCowan, dreads what the long construction period will do to her own fledgling enterprise. “It’s just going to kill it,” she in an interview behind the counter of Nicole’s Mummy’s, at some points wiping her eye with a napkin. “I’d have to close, because I’m having a hard time now.” If local businesses do close, Biso, a social worker who lives across the street and opened the place two years ago because the area didn’t have a coffee shop, fears “the neighbourhood will go backwards.” Decorated on every wall for Halloween, Nicole’s Mummy’s has become a gathering spot where people can pick up spare books or clothes and where regulars talk on folding chairs out-

Barbers Hopeton Brown, left, and Rocky Morra talk with Ward 38 Scarborough Centre council candidate Theo Kalafatis, reflected in the mirror, at the Klean Kuts barber shop on McCowan Road Tuesday. A number of small business operators are expressing concerns about the toll a Scarborough Subway extension from Kennedy station to McCowan and Sheppard could take on them.
side. “There’s so many friends around here that meet here,” said Victoria Rispolie, a senior who bought a small coffee and added local people wonder where else they could go if the shop closes.
“
Once they start digging down there, that’s it, business is done. – Noel Thomas
The ward’s incumbent councillor, Glenn De Baeremaeker, said support for the extension, which he insisted will bring Scarborough “huge” benefits in the long run, is overwhelming. “It’s going to happen, and it’s going to be a very positive thing.” But Theo Kalafatis, running against De Baeremaeker, said the
subway will tear his neighbourhood to pieces, and with it businesses people have poured their life savings into. Offering fewer stations within walking distance for residents than a planned light-rail alternative which the city and province favoured until last year, the extension will not be worth the perhaps 12 years of congestion-causing construction, which Kalafatis argued will force drivers onto nearby the Markham and Kennedy roads. “It’s a serious blow to the financial health of our neighbourhood,” said Kalafatis, whose campaign flyers feature images of subway station construction sites for the Spadina Subway extension in Downsview. On Tuesday, Kalafatis, who said the area’s small enterprises are also the front lines of its community development, brought a reporter to Klean Kuts, a McCowan Road barber shop
south of Lawrence Avenue, where Hopeton Brown took over management 14 months ago from Rocky Morra, who has worked there for 33 years. “It may be a benefit in other ways,” said Brown, “but in terms of business, we’re going to suffer the consequences.” Another barber, who gave only his first name, Chris, asked the visitor to look at vehicles parked in the plaza lot. “When the subway (construction) come, where are they going to be? Up in the air?” he asked. “We do pay tax. (But) if that’s going on, we cannot pay tax.” Rupert Gomes, watching Brown cut his son’s hair, said it’s possible such local businesses “will be pushed out” by construction, then shook his head. “Who do we trust?” Gomes asked, adding he won’t vote on October 27, because he considers Doug Ford, John Tory, and Olivia Chow – the first two support
the extension, the last the LRT – to be “the same.” Gomes said residents want the community protected as it is, only with better schools, play areas and policing. “These are the big things people are looking for, not a subway system.” At a variety store on Ellesmere Road just west of McCowan, Leanne Situ said she worries construction may change people’s travel patterns, and the business she started less than three months ago will lose out. “I think we already have enough tall buildings around,” she added. Won’t more tall buildings coming in the wake of the extension mean more business for her? Maybe, said Situ, but she might go out of business during the “very time-consuming” construction period. “If I can’t pay my bills, I’m going to have to lock the door.” During a debate at Centennial College last week, Kalafatis asked mayoral candidates if they would compensate people who see a drop in business during subway construction. Ford said he would: “If the city’s creating disruption, we should be giving them a break on their tax rate. They won’t have the same number of customers coming through their doors.” Tory, who also said he’d use tax incentives to attract start-up companies along the extension route, agreed the city should look at tax rebates for a “short period of time,” and acknowledged businesses on Eglinton Avenue describe underground LRT construction there as a “moving nightmare,” though some use “clever things” to keep customers coming back. Chow said the LRT project, planned to start within the current Scarborough Rapid Transit corridor, “is world class” and can be built by 2020. Kalafatis isn’t the only
Ward 37 council candidate to express concern about the construction and support compensation. In an email last week Kevin Winson pointed out a station for the extension is planned for McCowan and Lawrence, home of The Scarborough Hospital’s General campus. Traffic there during subway construction will be like that experienced at Keele Street and Finch Avenue for the last several years, “where often even in the middle of the night there has been gridlock,” Winson warned. “This constant traffic will make it difficult for ambulances to get through and may result in some dire consequences.”
“
It’s going to happen, and it’s going to be a very positive thing. – Glenn De Baeremaeker
De Baeremaeker last week said he hadn’t received “one single complaint or one single phone call” about subway construction, which may be because it’s years away. “The final design’s not finished so nobody even knows what they’re talking about,” he said, but also argued the idea of having “one ride to get to downtown Toronto” after work is finished will sell thousands of condominiums around Scarborough Town Centre. Compensation for businesses has merit, but has to be done appropriately, said De Baeremaeker. “The subway’s not going to cause that much construction,” said the ward incumbent, adding the already-aged RT will continue to operate until it’s built. “Our aim is to make the city better, not to hurt people.”

UP EXPRESS TRAIN SPOTTED One of the trains that will serve the Union Pearson Express air rail link connection between Union Station and Terminal One of Pearson International Airport, was spotted last week on a testing run along the Georgetown South rail corridor. The UP service is scheduled to open just before next year’s Toronto Pan American Games. A four-stop express route intended for business class travel, the service has attracted controversy for the province’s decision to open the line with diesel trains. Both the province and Metrolinx have pledged to convert UP to electric as a precursor to its plan to electrify all GO Transit rail service within 10 years.

sUBWAY CELL SERVICE: montreal wins A cellphone service went live at five subway stations last week. Not the TTC, where negotiations to introduce underground cellular service have fizzled out, but in Montreal’s STM which announced last year a plan to outfit all of its 68 Metro stations. The service went live on the Green Line and is expected to take seven years to fully implement. In Toronto, while wireless internet subway installations appear to be going smoothly, it’s been anything but when it comes to negotiations for underground TTC cell service. A spokesperson for BAI Canada, which was contracted by the TTC to create a Wi-FI and cellular network, said recently the company was taking the “longview” to ongoing negotiations with the Big Three telecoms.

Voting early nothing to be hasty about
W
ith advance polls open this week, it is tempting for those with strong opinions about the future occupant of the Toronto mayor’s office to put on their voting pants and cast ballot now rather than Oct. 27. Certainly by this point, anyone paying even a bit of attention has heard enough from the top three mayoral candidates to make a choice. As long as one doesn’t hold with the idea of strategic voting then there’s no reason to wait. If only it were as simple as that: that the future of the city rests solely, or even largely, on the shoulders of one mayor. It doesn’t, of course. There are 45 pairs of shoulders including the mayor, and while the mayor has enough influence to carry most votes, the buck ultimately stops with 44 city councillors who can support or thwart an agenda as they see fit. And while mileage may vary, it’s a fair guess that most voters haven’t had nearly as close a look at their
david nickle the city local ward candidates as they have at the Chow-FordTory trifecta. With the high-octane drama in the mayor’s office this past term, it’s also more of a challenge to assess the record of one’s incumbent councillor. All of them have been operating under extraordinary circumstances – working in an arena that is one-half local governance and one-half Lord of the Flies. There are a few incumbents who’ve stood out either as candidates for reelection or for the boot. Giorgio Mammoliti, the Ward 7 councillor surely leads the pack in the latter: more than any other councillor not blood-related to the mayor he’s been a very publicly destructive force on council. Ron Moeser’s terrible attendance record can be partially excused as he was laid up for nearly a year from ankle surgery gone bad, but otherwise Ward 44
voters would be justified in turfing him. Similarly long-serving councillor Norm Kelly, on the other hand, probably deserves another victory lap in Ward 40 solely on the basis of his supply-teacher/ deputy mayor role in the final, potentially fractuous year of this last term. Others, like Ward 22’s Josh Matlow or Ward 27’s Kristyn WongTam, have maintained an active enough rookie term to make re-election a relatively easy choice. What about those many incumbents who kept their heads down through the term? And what do voters do in those seven wards with no incumbent? It boils down to this: voters who take advantage of advance voting opportunities have more before them than whether it’s to be Ford More Years or four new years. Getting it right will be delicate work, and nothing to be hasty about.

dies after collision on Warden Ave
Photo/MANNY RODRIGUES
Toronto police investigate at the scene of a fatal bicycle accident Thursday afternoon on Warden Avenue north of Eglinton Avenue East that took the life of a 63-year-old male cyclist.
A 63-year-old male cyclist has died after the bike he was riding and a car were involved in a collision in the Warden and Bertrand avenues area. Police were called to the scene in the northbound lanes of Warden, just south of Marble Arch Crescent, at about 2:10 p.m. last Thursday. According to police, the cyclist was riding his bike across Warden from the west to east side through a signalized intersection. The 49-year-old driver of a 2007 Saturn was northbound in the passing lane on Warden when the cyclist was struck by the car. The cyclist suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision. Anyone with information, is asked to contact Toronto police traffic services at 416-808-1900.

Meeting participants need to contact hospital by Friday >>>from page 1 strategic plan launched in 2009. In a press release, TSH said it was an “exceptionally important” roadmap. Two years later, the TSH launched its Clinical Action Plan (CAP) to identify investment priorities based on the needs of the community. Since 2009, its community-
involved plans have led to exceptional outcomes, TSH said. These include an Exemplary Status rating from Accreditation Canada in 2013, the lowest overall emergency wait times among hospitals in the GTA and a number of awards from the Ontario Hospital Association. “We have had many successes
at TSH and these have only been possible by a collective effort,” Biron said. “It is this collaborative spirit that will define our approach and solutions for the future.” TSH has two hospital campuses, Birchmount and General. It is also a regional centre for dialysis and affiliated with the University of Toronto.
The community engagement session is Oct. 23 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at The Scarborough Hospital General Campus in the Lee Family Auditorium, 3050 Lawrence Ave. E. Community residents are asked to RSVP their participation via email to communications@tsh.to before Friday, Oct. 17.
You’re their world. And that’s worth protecting.
Benefit dinner on Oct. 25 will help fund expenses and new location >>>from page 1 the tens of thousands living in Toronto without health insurance is both the ethical and the smart thing to do. “We’re trying to support the Canada that our parents brought us to,” Caulford said in an interview. The Ontario refugee health program doesn’t cover refugee claimants appealing to stay in Canada on humanitarian grounds – such as one patient under Caulford’s care, a woman pregnant with twins – or temporary foreign workers who lose their jobs and then become ill. And, yes, some of the clinic’s patients are in Toronto without legal status, but Caulford said the vast majority were invited to come to Canada.
temporary fix Started as a temporary fix at another location in 2000, the clinic has been visited by 20,000 patients since, but rising operating costs threaten its future. Faced with this rising “health poverty” in Toronto, Caulford said the clinic has been looking for a larger, better-funded home, which he calls the Canadian Centre for Refugee and Immigrant Health Care. A benefit dinner on Oct. 25, the Oh Canada Celebration, is meant to be the first big step in raising funds for the new location, while helping to keep the existing clinic open and operating.

Mayoral candidates have differing views on housing DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto Community Housing has been a conundrum for Toronto mayors and councils since shortly after the Mike Harris government amalgamated the Metropolitan Toronto municipalities into one back in 1997. In the course of bringing the six cities and one regional government together, the provincial Tories divested what generally crumbling public housing the province funded, onto the backs of Toronto property taxpayers, who were already dealing with municipally-managed and funded housing companies. In 2002, Toronto Council rolled it onto the Toronto Community Housing Corporation. And 12 years later, Toronto taxpayers still haven’t crawled out from the burden of being
one of the biggest landlords in North America: with 58,000 units of housing, about 164,000 tenants ranging from toddlers to seniors – and a repair backlog of more than $700 million. And to make matters worse: 132,000 names are on the waiting list to find a subsidized home. Problematic The organization has been problematic. While there have been notable success stories – such as the revitalization of TCHC’s oldest neighbourhood, Regent Park, with the co-operation of the Daniels Group, into a beautiful mixed-income neighbourhood between Parliament and River Streets – the company itself has had a rough few years. “It seems to me that we may be farther behind than we were four years ago,”
says Susan Gapka, a TCHC tenant and vocal housing advocate. Gapka has been closely observing developments in public housing since before 2010, when Mayor Rob Ford was elected and immediately took an intense interest in public housing issues. In 2011, faced with an auditor general’s report showing numerous examples of mismanagement at the Toronto Community Housing Corporation administration and board level, Ford convinced council to outright fire the TCHC board and its senior staff, and put former city councillor Case Ootes in charge of the company as an interim chair. Through Ootes, the TCHC dipped its toe into the idea of selling off a number of free-standing homes and Toronto Council modified it, emphasizing an ongoing effort to draw the federal and
provincial government back into funding social housing and a long-term plan to deal with the repair backlog. Mayor Rob Ford, meanwhile, kept the deteriorating condition of Toronto Community Housing units on the public radar with frequent personal visits, the appointment of a new board and the short-lived hiring of a new head of the organization, Eugene Jones – who brought a different skill-set and different management problems that were reported out earlier in 2014, and led to his removal. Yet, Gapka says, many of the same problems in affordable housing exist as had before: units are crumbling, Mayor candidate Olivia Chow was the first of the major candidates to come out with a housing policy – the centrepiece of which is to create 15,000 new affordable rental units over four years.
Chow is aiming to introduce a mandate to encourage developers to set aside 20 per cent of new residential buildings as affordable rental housing – which she says will lead to that many new units. At TCHC, Chow is promising to decentralize management of seniors’ housing within the TCHC portfolio to give residents a say in how the building is governed. If successful, she’d spread the system across Toronto. Tory, in a platform released relatively late in the campaign, intends to use $864 million the city has on hand for TCHC repairs to immediately begin work without waiting for the federal and provincial government to agree to pay its share. Chow’s campaign pointed out the money is in fact being spent year to year, with $128 million already being spent this year. Tory also wants to intensify affordable housing on
Toronto Parking Authority and TCHC land – in possible partnership with the private sector, under agreements similar to the one in place between the Daniels Group and TCHC over the redevelopment of Regent Park. And on TCHC, Tory says he would create a task force to review and recommend changes to the structure of the housing company . Doug Ford has not yet released a platform on housing, and did not attend an Oct. 8 debate in Regent Park on housing. Like his brother Mayor Rob Ford, he has said he would like to see Gene Jones returned to his old job. As of deadline, Ford had not released a plan for dealing with public housing or affordability beyond that.

In a new and more spacious office, the team at Comfort Stride will be better able to help their clients get back on their feet, while continuing to meet the same standards and provide the same level of service clients found in their previous location. To celebrate their big move, the team at Comfort Stride will be hosting an open house on Saturday Oct 18! Stop by for coffee, snacks, a draw for an iPod Mini, and a chat with the skilled professionals who can help keep you on your feet. Trained and experienced treating a variety of foot ailments, Chiropodist Stephen Chu, and Chiropodist Lisa Esposito, provide treatments for ankle sprains, arthritis, athlete’s foot, corns and calluses, high arches and more. They fit custom orthopedic shoes, and perform therapeutic ultra sounds when necessary to help ease pain— whatever it takes to get you moving again. Orthotic products have come a long way, being used as both a preventative measure and as a treatment. Today, compression stockings aren’t
just suitable for your grandma, they come in all sorts of thicknesses and some are very sheer and attractive. And the reality is, they don’t have to be worn all the time—only during periods of prolonged standing, sitting or during recovery. If you are moving all day at work, compression stockings should be worn after work, during that hour commute back home in their car—that’s when blood tends to pool and cause varicose veins and even deep vein thrombosis (blood clots). The staff at Comfort Stride are certified fitters for compression stockings and can help you find the right fit. To book an appointment at the Scarborough location, call 647-989-7794 or visit comfortstride. ca. For the second Comfort Stride location in Bradford call 905-392-7793.

Scarborough Walk of Fame now seeking nominations The Scarborough Walk of Fame (SWOF) is now seeking nominations for the 2015 induction ceremony. Run by an elected volunteer board, SWOF has been honouring citizens who have made extraordinary contributions to Scarborough and beyond since 2006. Inductees are honoured with a star in the Scarborough Walk of Fame Court at the Scarborough Town Centre. For information on how to nominate candidates for induction, visit www.scarboroughwalkoffame.com Deadline for nominations is Nov. 28. Am torchbearers sought wPan
Three thousand people are needed to carry the flame to Toronto’s Pan Am Games – and if you sign up now, you could be one of them. “We are starting something
really cool for Canada today,” Col. Chris Hadfield, who will be the first Pan Am torchbearer on May 30, declared at the Toronto Eaton Centre mall as registrations began reecently. For 41 days next year, the torch will visit five cities outside Ontario and 130 communities in the province before a cauldron for the games is lit in downtown Toronto on July 10. Hadfield, a former fighter pilot and International Space Station commander – he’s seen the Americas from space thousands of times – said the games will challenge young people to push themselves to the edge of their capabilities. “The inspiration of it is the key,” added the celebrated Canadian astronaut, who introduced the torch run with Olympic gold medalists Catriona Le May Doan
and Simon Whitfield. Torchbearers must be at least 13 years old when the relay begins in order to participate. They can register online at TORONTO2015. org/torch-relay. Some of the 3,000 bearers of the flame – to be lit at an Aztec ceremony at the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico – will be chosen by communities on the route or games stakeholders.

breastcancerawarenessmonth Understanding the different stages of breast cancer Senior Citizens Apartment Living with a difference
When doctors diagnose breast cancer, they typically tell their patients which stage the cancer is in. Men and women with no previous experience with cancer may not know what these stages signify or may not understand the differences between the stages. The following is a rundown of breast cancer stages to help men and women diagnosed with breast cancer better understand their disease. Staging helps doctors determine how far the breast cancer has progressed, but staging also helps doctors determine the best course of treatment to contain or eliminate the cancer. For example, a person diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer will likely undergo a different course of treatment than someone diagnosed with stage 4.

Stage 0 & 1
Stage 2
When breast cancer is detected early, it is often characterized as stage 0 or 1, which means the cancer cells have not spread beyond a very limited area. Stage 0 breast cancer is a noninvasive cancer where abnormal cells have been found in the lining of the breast milk duct but have not spread outside the duct into surrounding breast tissue. Stage 0 breast cancer is very treatable, but if treatment is not sought, it can spread into surrounding breast tissue. Stage 1 breast cancer is diagnosed when the tumour is very small and has not spread to the lymph nodes. In certain instances when a person is diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer, no tumour is found in the breast. When a tumour is found, it is typically two centimetres or smaller. According to
A stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis means the cancer has begun to grow or spread, but it is still in the early stages and typically very treatable. Stage 2 breast cancer is divided into two groups, stage 2A and stage 2B, a distinction that is made because of the size of the tumour and if the breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. There may or may not be a tumour present when a person is diagnosed with stage 2A breast cancer. If a tumour is present, it is either less than two centimetres and cancer cells are present in less than four axillary lymph nodes or the tumour is between two and five centimetres but has not spread to the lymph nodes. A tumour is present when a person is diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer, and that tumour is ei continued on page 25

Conducting a breast examination at home In the shower, use the pads of your fingers and move around your entire breast in a circular pattern, moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month for any lumps, thickening or hardened knots. Conduct an examination in bed. The breast tissue will naturally distribute over your chest wall and ribs when you are lying down. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit. Squeeze the nipple
and check for discharge or lumps. Repeat on left breast. Conduct a visual examination. Standing in front of the mirror, look at your breasts with your hands at your side and over your head. Look for differences between breasts. Unusual dimpling or taut or thick skin may be indicative of a problem. Should any lumps or abnormalities be discovered during an examination, a woman should not panic but schedule an appointment with her doctor for a more thorough examination, which may include a mammogram or ultrasound to map out images of the breast that may be hidden to the naked eye.
Breast cancer stage determines treatment continued from page 24 ther between two and five centimetres and spread to less than four axillary lymph nodes or it is larger than five centimetres but has not spread to any lymph nodes. Stage 2 breast cancers typically respond well to treatment, but those treatments may be more aggressive than treatments for stage 0 or 1 breast cancers.
Stage 3 Stage 3 breast cancer is an advanced cancer that has invaded tissues surrounding the breast but has not spread to distant organs. Advancements to treat stage 3 breast cancer have made treatment more effective, even if a doctor describes the cancer as “inoperable,” which may mean that surgery will not be enough to rid the breast of the cancer in its entirety. Stage 3 breast cancer is divided into a three subgroups, which are determined by the size of the tumour and if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or sur-

Stage 4 A stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis means the cancer has spread to other areas of the body, which may include the brains, bones, lungs, or liver. Stage 4 breast cancer is considered incurable, though the NBCF notes that a growing number of women are living longer because their disease is being treated as a chronic condition. Treatment of stage 4 breast cancer may be determined by a patient’s access to specialists and sub-specialists, and some patients may be given the opportunity to participate in therapies that are still in the experimental phase. Unlike in years past, many stage 4 breast cancer patients can extend their lives for several years thanks in large part to advancements in research and medical technology.

Some people aren’t so young when they do it for the first time, but Toronto social agencies want the abstainers to know how voting makes people feel. MyFirstTimeTO, which launched this week, encourages people to post videos to Facebook telling the story of the first time they voted. The page’s humour – the implied comparison in some voters’ videos with a first sexual experience – may get old fast for some, but the significance of voting comes across.
“You feel important in this country,” one man says in his testament. A woman says in her home country, to go out to vote is to risk violence. “I overcame that fear,” she adds. “I wanted my freedom.” More can be posted to www.facebook.com/myfirsttimeTO “If you’re feeling in a truly confessional mode, take one minute and tell us about your first time,” John Campey of the Social Planning Council of Toronto, which set up the page with Toronto Neighbourhood Centres, said. Campey said there’s not enough education in schools about voting and the video project is a chance to demystify the process, particularly for young people and newcomers to Canada. Another woman who posted a video suggests her first time voting was a bit of an anti-climax. “I had built it up in my mind so that it was so huge,” when it wasn’t, she says.

Lessons learned from Eglinton Connects planning Local businesses’ point of view on bike lanes changed during course of meetings RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com As planners and cycling activists discussed how best to add protected bike lanes to Eglinton Avenue, Monique Drepaul was completely bewildered. For the past two years, Drepaul had been invited to attend a series of Eglinton Connects community meetings alongside city planners and representatives from Cycle Toronto to discuss bike lanes – not a topic in which the small business advocate was heavily versed. Representing the interests of local business improvement areas (BIAs) at the meetings – all resolutely against the idea of trading road or sidewalk space on Eglinton to accommodate cyclists – Drepaul quickly realized she couldn’t keep up with the jargon-heavy discussion.
“Someone mentioned adding bollards to deal with the cyclists, and I’m sitting there thinking to myself, please, someone ask what a bollard is,” recalled Drepaul, executive director of the Eglinton Way BIA, this week. “And nobody did. I felt like I was the only person who didn’t understand the terminology being used.” Complete Streets Drepaul was part of a panel discussion during the 2014 Complete Streets Forum recently, relating her experiences during the oft-contentious Eglinton Connects community consultations, which were completed earlier this year. For the course of two years, more than 60 public meetings like those attended by Drepaul were scheduled. Along with feedback from online surveys, more than
5,000 people eventually weighed in on the study’s ambitious plans to revamp Eglinton in conjunction with the future completion of the 19-kilometre Crosstown LRT line, which includes encouraging more mid-rise development, creating green space and adding protected bike lanes. Drepaul – who was joined by Eglinton Connects planner Paul Kulig, Cycle Toronto director Jared Kolb, meeting facilitator Alex Heath, and chief city planner Jennifer Keesmaat acting as moderator for the discussion – told forum attendees gathered inside Daniels Spectrum in Regent Park she found the courage to speak up the more she learned about bike lanes. She asked for a glossary of planning terms to help understand the discussions and found out bollards are a series of short, vertical posts erected

to cushion cyclists from car traffic. But Drepaul, who personally supported adding bike lanes, still couldn’t mollify the concerns of Eglinton Way and other local BIAs convinced having more cyclists on Eglinton would scare away customers in cars. Not helping matters was what she felt was the planners’ tendency to apply a onesize-fits-all approach when dealing with the BIAs. She felt they didn’t understand the nuances of communicating with local business of which some were heavily involved with social media, while others didn’t even have an email address. What finally swung the argument in favour of protected bike lanes was data published by the University of Toronto, which showed clear evidence merchants were over-estimating the percentage of customers who drove versus those who rode, took
public transit or walked. In reality, there were far more cyclists and transit riders and pedestrians – and far fewer drivers – than thought. “When my chair saw these numbers, it completely changed the perspective,” said Drepaul. Sensing the opportunity, she presented the figures in person to the BIA’s board of directors. Cyclists shop “It was like the light bulb had gone off and people were realizing cyclists also shop,” she said. Armed with her employer’s endorsement for the bike lanes, Drepaul was soon able to get other Eglinton-area BIAs on side, she said. Aided by the support of the BIAs, the study was endorsed unanimously by city council in May, which included adding protected bike lanes all along the Crosstown’s
route between Jane Street and Kennedy Road. Despite the success in getting the bike lanes approved, Keesmaat warned the issue is not yet settled, not in a city where politics invariably reignites council approval of projects and a large segment of the public remains hostile to opening up any road space for non-car traffic on Eglinton. She warned there are many more battles to come before the vision of Eglinton Connects is fully realized. “It’s critical not to assume that we’ve built capacity or understanding around an idea to the extent it’s going to move forward,” said Keesmaat. “That means having a lot of hard conversations, and they need to be sustained on an ongoing basis.”

CAMH calling for legalization, strict regulation, of cannabis HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com
last Thursday, the country has one of the highest rates of cannabis use in the world at 40 per cent. The policy outlines how the government would be better legalizing the drug with strict regulations in order to decrease risk, especially to youth 18 to 29, which according to CAMH are among the highest users of cannabis in the developed world – also at 40 per cent. “Right now we have no mechanism that makes it
Instead of banning the use of cannabis in Canada, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is recommending it be legalized with strict regulation by the federal government. According to its latest evidence-based report on the issue of cannabis control in Canada, Cannabis Policy Framework released
“Sometimes it’s established as a healthy or grounded way of living,” she said. “So youth have the impression that it’s natural and that makes it not harmful. But in fact that’s not the case.” The framework also outlines recommendations from CAMH to the government on regulating the use of cannabis, if legalized, that would have the less harmful effects. Some include a minimum age for purchase and consumption,
less attractive to youth,” said Dr. Joanna Henderson, head of research in the child, youth and family program at CAMH. “If there’s regulation you can control it more easily with a clear publication campaign, plain packaging and no advertising.” Henderson also added the drug’s popularity among that age group seems to stem from the culture that surrounds cannabis.
controls on availability and a requirement that products be sold in standardized plain packaging. According to Henderson, if adopted, CAMH’s policy would have cannabis sold in a similar way that alcohol and tobacco is sold in the province, giving the government monopoly over sales. Henderson also told The Mirror the potency of the cannabis would also be controlled by the government in
order to reduce the harmful effects on youth, an age group that is more susceptible to the effects of cannabis than adults because their brains are still developing, she said. Justice Minister Peter MacKay said on Oct. 9, the Conservative government has no intention of heeding the call of the CAMH.

Ward 35, said he thought signing on to Food Nation “was a no-brainer.” At a debate in Warden Woods Community Centre last week, food security was a top issue, Bocking said, noting the area doesn’t have a grocery store within walking distance and more than half of children in Oakridges, a neighbourhood in the ward, live in poverty. It would be fantastic if everyone in the city could do something to make the program a reality, Stephanie Carty-Kesel, a council candidate in Ward 20 TrinitySpadina. Food Forward, which formed during the last municipal campaign in 2010, has a full list of the endorsing candidates at www.foodnationTO.com. Adriana Pelayo, a community support and outreach worker at Nellie’s, a Queen Street shelter for women, said she hopes the next city council is more generous.

Move over, Ford Nation. Food Nation wants to be heard in Toronto’s municipal campaign, too. Food Forward, the group behind the food issues platform, staged a bean-bag toss last Friday, on the steps of Old City Hall. Group members and passers-by lobbed fruit-shaped bags at holes above pictures of the city’s three leading mayoral candidates – trying to get food “into their heads” as a campaign issue. “Food is often left off the table” when Doug Ford, John Tory and Olivia Chow sit down to debate, Food Forward founder Darcy Higgins said. Food issues shouldn’t be ignored, he added, because food bank use in Toronto’s inner suburbs is up 38 per cent in the last two years, and many city residents either cannot walk to the nearest grocery store or cannot afford to buy healthy food there. Food Forward believes its platform, calling for poverty
reduction and the creation of “healthy food neighbourhoods” and 1,000 “good food jobs” across Toronto for young and marginalized people, can make a difference by 2018, Higgins said. Chow, 15 incumbent councillors and other a few dozen other candidates for mayor and council, as well as more than 1,000 Toronto residents, have signed on. “Food security is security,” Himy Syed, who is running for mayor, said at the event. In Baltimore, people can go to libraries, order food and pick it up the next day, said Syed who proposed using Toronto’s 99 library branches the same way. ”It’s made food deserts into food oases,” and will save seniors a round trip on the TTC, he said. “Food is a right. It shouldn’t be a challenge,” said D!ONNE Rene, another mayoral candidate, who added Food Nation fits her plan to create more community wellness in the city.

Arthur graduated from Malvern CI (1960) and UofT Pharmacy (1964). He taught in Scarborough, first chemistry at Cedarbrae CI and then as Science Head at Birchmount Park CI until his retirement in 1998. Arthur was a past president of the Seven Oaks Camera Club and of the Canadian Antique Phonograph Society. Arthur collected antiques, phonographs pianos, music, movies, boats, stories and many wonderful lifetime friends. He did say his grandchildren were his favourite collection. He loved Kasshabog mornings on the beach and an evening ride on the pontoon, laughing and line dancing at the Newmarket Seniors’ Centre, and making the surprise winning play in a euchre game. Friends and family are invited to an informal gathering to swap stories at Taylor Funeral Home, 524 Davis Drive, Newmarket on Saturday, October18, between 1and 4 pm. We are grateful for the compassionate care he received from Dr. Hutchinson and the staff in the ICU at Southlake. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation.

On Sunday, October 5th Arthur lost his fight against a recently diagnosed, very aggressive thyroid cancer. He leaves behind his high school sweetheart and wife of 49 years, Yvonne (nee Packwood), his devoted daughters, Tasha and Melinda, their genial husbands, Matthew and Lou, the treasured grandchildren, Riley, Gwynith, Eryn, Lena, Maia and Claire, as well as his boisterous Cate and sedate Richardson cousins.
