TARA HATHERLY thatherly@insidetoronto.com As the number of Canadians with Lyme disease continues to climb, Canada is developing a federal framework for dealing with the issue.

The framework will focus on guidelines for identifying and treating Lyme disease, tracking infection rates and their economic impact, and developing standardized educational

materials for public health providers.

In Ontario, Lyme disease is spread through bites from infected blacklegged ticks, also called deer ticks. In May, Toronto Public Health held a press conference in Morningside Park to discuss the city’s growing blacklegged tick population and warn residents to protect from bites.

Along with Morningside Park, Rouge Park and Algonquin

Island have been identified as areas where the ticks are most likely to be found in Toronto.

Ticks from Rouge Park have tested positive for Lymedisease-causing bacteria. First identified in Toronto in 2013, blacklegged ticks, which can’t fly or jump, migrate by attaching to birds and other animals, so they can be found outside known areas as well.

Two swimming events and two Olympic medals, so far, for Toronto east-end teenager Penny Oleksiak at Rio 2016.

On Sunday, she earned a silver medal in the 100-metre butterfly, one night after she anchored the Canadian women’s 4x100m freestyle relay team to a bronze medal.

The individual silver medal for the 16-year-old Toronto resident, who finished up her Grade 10 year at Monarch Park Collegiate in June, marked Canada’s first individual female Olympic swimming medal since Marianne Limpert at Atlanta 1996 – four years before Oleksiak was born. It also marked the first Olympic medal of any kind for a Canadian woman in the butterfly event.

She is also the first Canadian woman to win two Olympic medals since Anne Ottenbrite did in 1984 in Los Angeles.

Her time of 56.46 seconds was also a world junior record, breaking her own record that she set in the preliminary round.

Ahead of her for the gold medal was Sarah Sjostrom from Sweden who won the event in world record time of 55.48 seconds, smashing her own world record. In third place was defending Olympic champ

Scotiabank closes Weston Village branch after 106 years LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Throughout the many changes Weston Village has undergone over the years, one constant has remained – that is until last month when after 106 years in the community, the local branch of Scotiabank bid adieu.

‘We’re moving’ signs taped to the branch’s front doors, at Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West, alerted local residents and customers of its plans to relocate to Lawrence Avenue West and Keele Street. Despite ample notice provided by the bank, the news did not sit well with some longtime area residents.

“We are upset,” Cherri Hurst, president, treasurer and archivist for the Weston Historical Society, told The Guardian. “I do think it’s a mistake. Banks bring foot traffic, which is great for the neighbourhood.”

Neighbourhood residents appreciated that they could walk to the bank.

“It costs money to jump on the bus,” Hurst said.

After careful consideration, said

to providing our customers with the highest-quality advice and service remains unchanged,” Simandl said in a statement to The Guardian.

Customers want convenience and so increasingly choose to bank online.

“Eighty per cent of transactions in Canada now take place outside the branch,” Simandl said. in business since 1910

The Bank of Nova Scotia opened up in what was once Robinson’s General Store. A man by the name of William Nason operated a general store, selling dry goods and groceries until 1880. New property owner James Robinson sold the premises to the Bank of Nova Scotia in 1910.

Scotiabank spokesperson Kate Simandl, the decision was made to consolidate two branches in the Lawrence West community – Weston and Lawrence with Lawrence and

Keele – on July 22.

“We do not make these decisions lightly. While in each case, this process will involve closing one branch, our steadfast commitment

The Bank of Nova Scotia in Weston first opened to the public on May 31, 1910, on the site of what was once Robinson’s General Store.

William Nason operated the general store selling dry goods and groceries until 1880 when he leased the store to the Weston Woollen Mills, according to the Weston Times and Guide newspaper, a publication that was founded in the 1890s and continued printing the news until about the 1970s to mid-’80s.

In 1910, James Robinson, the property owner at the time, sold the premises to the Bank of Nova Scotia, which altered the structure to meet its needs. Since then, it has been known as ‘The Bank of Nova Scotia Building.’

Modernized in 1950, the new remodelled bank reopened to the public on Nov. 8, 1950. More than a decade later, the building would be torn down. The bank took up temporary residence in the old town hall, which no longer exists today.

The new building opened on Feb. 2, 1962, according to Weston Historical Society archives.

The old town hall, Hurst said, was situated at 1994 Weston Rd. Currently in its spot is a parking lot.

“Weston used to have its own fire department, water and sewage services, but when the neighbourhood amalgamated, we lost a lot of services,” Hurst said.

Weston Village Business Improvement Area coordinator Marion O’Sullivan said she has yet to hear any reaction from business owners along the retail strip, although some residents have shared their disappointment about the loss of the bank.

There is no word yet about what kind of business will take over the building, O’Sullivan added.

On the path to understanding Lyme disease >>>from page 1 work, there was a public consultation in June 2015 and a conference in Ottawa this May. Jim Wilson, president of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation, was one of the conference chairs.

“I hope the end result will be that physicians recognize that Lyme disease is neither easy to diagnose, nor is it easy to treat,” said Wilson of the framework.

“I think the evidence that was presented (during the conference), and the evidence that is published in many different research papers, has shown that the testing protocol that we’ve been using (in Canada) over the past decades is not accurate. It will not cover all of the strains of bacteria that we know we have and they’re still discovering more.”

DIagNOsINg lYme DIsease Along with funding for more research, including human tissue study, Wilson hopes the framework will change how Lyme disease is diagnosed and treated.

“Tying the diagnosis to the patient having been in a known endemic area is foolhardy in a disease that’s transplanted randomly, so we hope that’s going to change,” he said. “Limiting the treatment to a specific period of time, three-to-four weeks of antibiotics for example, considering the evidence that was presented (at the conference) and the many research papers, that too must change. Doctors must be free to treat the patient based upon the symptoms.”

He also hopes diagnosis will stop being tied to people having a “bull’s eye” rash.

While Lyme literature notes most people with the disease develop the mark, Wilson said current research and his foundation’s experience indicate many people don’t develop any sort of rash at all.

Wilson wants transparency in the framework and people with Lyme disease to have a say in it.

“I just want to make sure that the patients and their experts are given the voice they deserve at the table where the policy decisions are made. We want to be engaged in the writing of policy, and not just token representation, and not just as reviewers of something that somebody else has written.”

Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. David Williams, said the province’s main focus

is helping people reduce the risk of getting Lyme disease.

“So we have a public that is more aware, more knowledgeable on ticks, on handling of ticks, on accessing their physician in a timely fashion,” he said. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure ... It’s really very much in the hands of the public, because they’re the ones that choose to get exposed, they’re the ones that choose to go see a doctor or not, and choose to ask about it, so we want them as knowledgeable as we can get them.”

those experts in various areas to continue to review all those standards in that, and definitions, and assessments, and diagnosis around that, as well as the federal paper.”

Once the framework is released, the Ontario government will review it, see what it agrees with and ask questions about points of difference. “And to see then what kind of so-called federal-provincial-territorial conjoint activities can, or should, or would we do,” Williams said. “Or what can we do more in our own respective jurisdictions.”

eNgagINg The pUblIC

gaTheRINg The DaTa

To help, Ontario 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.

Williams has seen “snippets and bits” of the federal framework, but noted it hasn’t been finalized, because some aspects are still being discussed.

He hopes it will help provinces and territories better understand how other parts of Canada approach the issue, and how it varies throughout the country where different strains of Lyme-disease-causing bacteria are found.

He wants a better picture of how many Ontarians may have been exposed to infected ticks, because monitoring is done through testing and doctors sometimes use preventative medicine instead of ordering tests.

Testing isn’t effective in the very early stages of infection, when medical intervention is thought to be most effective, because tests rely on antibodies that need time to build up.

Instead, doctors sometimes prescribe antibiotics to keep a potential infection from setting in.

“We would like to document that a bit better, so we can understand the work that our primary care doctors are doing in that regard, so it’s part of our surveillance system,” Williams said.

He said Ontario’s testing method is the best.

“We have a standardized one that we use, the same as CDC Atlanta and the other top-leading laboratories, it’s a two-stage one.

We’re continually looking at our testing to make sure we’re trying to standardize it with other leading centres, and we feel ours is the gold standard.”

He added, “We take (Lyme disease) very seriously, and we’re very concerned about it.”

The provincial government will continue its awareness campaign, he added.

“We really want to make (the public) aware of what we are doing, that we want to do more of it, and want to do it better.” he said. “And keep raising that bar up on prevention mode.

Visit www.ontario.ca/lyme for Lyme disease information from the Ontario government, and www.canlyme.com for more on the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation.

We really want to make (the public) aware of what we are doing, that we want to do more of it, and want to do it better. and keep raising that bar up on prevention mode.

– David Williams, ontario’s Chief Medical officer of Health

“And keep pushing the research agenda on a go-forward basis, so not just sitting and saying, well this is as it is.

Let’s keep driving and looking for solid evidence and science that would move all the aspects of it, and so we’re really hoping that (the federal government) might stimulate that and keep that moving ahead,” he added. “I know a lot of people are wanting to look at the actual treatment, concepts around chronic Lyme disease, and we’re waiting for

KNOW YOUR TICK

KNOW YOUR TICK bITes WHERE: Blacklegged ticks sit on tall grasses and shrubs, with arms outstretched, waiting to grab on to animals or humans.

HOW: 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.

WHAT: 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.

Torontonians need to take precautions against Lyme disease

WRitE uS

T

icks that carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease are confirmed to be in at least three Toronto locations, which should be a cause for concern but not panic among residents.

In the case of protecting ourselves from this disease, an ounce of prevention will go a long way.

Part of that includes knowledge about the causes of Lyme disease, its diagnosis and in what places to be especially careful – not just in Ontario but anywhere you might travel.

In today’s paper, we’re giving readers that valuable information.

Be aware that Toronto Public Health has identified Algonquin Island, Morningside Park and the Rouge Valley as city locations where blacklegged ticks (that carry Lyme disease) have been located.

In the case of Rouge Park, ticks have tested positive for the Lyme-disease-causing bacteria.

When in these areas, please use OuR ViEW caution.

Our stories today provide some safety tips for you.

Take Diagnosing Lyme is a chalresponsibility lenge for the medical community, says Jim Wilson, the president for tick safety of the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation.

His organization wants Canada’s testing for the disease changed as they do not consider it to be accurate or able to cover all the different strains of Lyme disease.

Wilson also says treatment plans need to be re-examined at the federal level, specifically the decision to treat for Lyme disease and the course of antibiotics used and for how long.

Canada is only now working on federal public health framework on dealing with Lyme disease. It’s been a long time coming on the federal level, but fortunately the Province of Ontario has been moving ahead on its own and putting its emphasis on reducing risk.

That’s a sound strategy by the province, but it will require a high level of public education and personal responsibility on the part of all residents.

“It’s really very much in the hands of the public, because they’re the ones that choose to get exposed, they’re the ones that choose to go see a doctor or not, and choose to ask about it, so we want them as knowledgeable as we can get them,” said Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health in an interview with Metroland Media Toronto.

Ten sure signs the Olympics are in full swing Here are 10 signs the Summer Olympics are in full swing: 1. TV announcers say “repechage” a lot. It flows so easily off their tongues you’re in awe. Hard as you try, you still can’t pronounce it properly after all these Olympics.

2. When heats are being contested in any sport, you scan each lane to see if a local athlete or team qualified. If you come up empty in your search, you quickly switch channels until you find a heat in which you have a rooting interest.

The semifinals and finals you tune in regardless of who’s involved, but when it comes to those preliminary heats it seems to take hometown faces and logos to keep you glued to your set.

3. Many of your favourite Olympic events have judges decide who wins or loses.

Alas, all too often, you don’t agree with their decision.

An athlete winning because he/she crosses

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY the finish line first you can understand. A team winning because they score the most points, you also understand. But after being mesmerized by a gymnastic routine and then having the judge give a much different score than you, you’re baffled. It doesn’t stop you from watching gymnastics, but you can’t help wish there was a system more in line with the non-judged events.

4. The Summer Games are a veritable athlonfest and Rio is no different. Pick an athlon any athlon and you’ll find it here. Each captivates in its own way, but the modern pentathlon is in a league of its own.

How can you not love an event that was created back in 1912, still proudly calls itself modern and nobody gets their shorts in a knot over it?

5. Many of the official sponsors differ from Summer Games to Summer Games, but two never change and they’re both back again in Rio. The Official Pickle: traffic congestion and the Official Excuse: lack of government funding.

6. It seems every newspaper headline during the Games has to be a play on words. “So-and-so swimmer makes a huge splash.”

“So-and-so gymnast jumps for joy.”

7. The Games always feature a blend of familiar veterans and the introduction to some exciting new stars.

For Canada, two of the former who come to mind are 33-year old soccer sensation Christine Sinclair and men’s doubles tennis standout Daniel Nestor.

Sinclair, the most accomplished Canadian soccer player of all-time, leads the women’s team and is in her third Olympics. Nestor is in his sixth . As for the

new Canadian kids on the block? First up is 16-yearold Penny Oleksiak who got a bronze medal Saturday and followed it up with a silver on Sunday. And she still has three events to go.

8. When an athlete or team from home wins a medal, you can’t help but get a tear in your eye.

9. If they get gold, it’s tears plural and you automatically rise for the playing of the national anthem.

Even if you’re just watching by yourself at home.

10. The Olympic mascot never fails to be a weirdlooking creature.

But darn if you don’t want to give it a hug.

Rio’s is named Vinicius.

He’s a big hit. So be prepared for a long wait.

And no shoving if you’re behind me. I plan to take my sweet time.

West Park gets $175 million boost Two mosquito pools test As part of a $175 million boost in provincial funding to hospitals across Ontario, West Park Healthcare Centre will receive more than $1.7 million this year through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund (HIRF).

“I am pleased that our government has committed to a significant investment to improve West Park Healthcare Centre,” York SouthWeston MPP Laura Albanese said in a statement. “These investments ensure the continued health, safety and high-quality of care that the people in York South-Weston deserve.”

The government increased funding for hospital renewal from $56 million in 2013 to 2014 to $125 million in each of the following two years. This year, the province will provide an additional $50 million in funding to help address the critical need for hospital repairs across the province.

Across Ontario, 135 hospitals will receive HIRF funding to support crucial infrastructure projects to extend the useful life or improve the quality of their facilities. Projects may include upgrades or replacements to roofs, windows, HVAC

West Park Healthcare Centre is getting a $175 million boost in funding this year through the Health Infrastructure Renewal Fund.

systems, fire alarms and back-up generators.

Ontario also plans to invest $12 billion over 10 years in capital grants to hospitals to build modern infrastructure. About 35 major hospital projects are now underway across the province.

Ontario is also increasing provincewide funding to hospitals this year by more than $345 million.

This is part of a total investment

of $51.8 billion in health care – a two per cent increase over last year.

“With this new and important funding, we are working to ensure that we are building a health-care system that delivers faster access today and a sustainable system that will be there for Ontario patients in the future,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, minister of Health and Long-Term Care, in a statement.

Two mosquito pools in Toronto have tested positive for West Nile virus, marking the first positive test for the virus in the city this year.

“The positive test result is a good reminder for Toronto residents to take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites and to remove standing water from their properties to prevent mosquito breeding,” Dr. Barbara Yaffe, Toronto’s acting medical officer of health, said in a release.

West Nile virus is a mosquitoborne illness that can cause encephalitis or swelling of the brain.

The majority of people infected with the virus show no symptoms, although one in five people infected will have symptoms that may include fever, headaches, nausea, vomiting and body aches, which can be accompanied by a skin rash and swollen glands.

Symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to weeks.

About one in 150 people infected will experience serious symptoms including neck stiffness, extreme confusion, disorientation, muscle

weakness, vision loss and numbness.

Although the risk of becoming infected is low, protection against mosquito bites can further reduce this risk.

Toronto Public Health reminds residents to take precautions now and throughout the summer to protect themselves from mosquito bites: • Wear light-coloured, longsleeved shirts, pants, socks and a hat when outdoors, especially at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.

• Use insect repellent approved by Health Canada and follow product instructions.

• Remove standing water from your property where mosquitoes can breed.

• Maintain screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of your home.

Last year, Toronto Public Health reported 18 positive mosquito pools and 13 confirmed human cases.

Townhouse development to include affordable housing The sale of surplus city property at 2 Bicknell Ave. will help create 32 new affordable home units, address historical contamination and complete a well-established residential block in the city’s west end, according a media release from Build Toronto, the City of Toronto’s real estate and development investment corporation.

When completed, the citybuilding development is estimated to generate $1.3 million in development charges and fees, and $150,000 annually in property taxes for Toronto.

“Build Toronto is leading the way again, working with organizations that share our goal of providing affordable housing while also creating value in underused city land,” said Willowdale Councillor David Shiner, the chair of both the Build Toronto board and city council’s growth management committee, in Tuesday’s media release.

“Toronto housing prices continue to make significant gains, creating housing affordability obstacles for residents. That’s why the new Build Toronto Board looks to provide city-building benefits, such as affordable housing, on all of our projects.”

Of the total 68 units within

this development, 32 units will be sold to eligible purchasers who will receive down payment assistance facilitated

by Trillium Housing.

The City of Toronto, through the Affordable Housing Office, and Build Toronto, along with Trillium Housing, are providing $2.6 million toward the down payment assistance program.

The combined city and Build Toronto contribution of $2.2 million will be provided back to the city upon the first resale of each unit for reinvestment into future city-wide affordable ownership housing. site saw many uses Located off Rogers Road, between Keele Street and Weston Road, the 1.2-acre former industrial site previously housed a TTC bus loop, a former hydro building and a building supply company.

Build Toronto has relocated the building supply company to another Build Toronto property, allowing it to consolidate its operations in Toronto and triple in size, generating employment growth.

longer being fully utilized, said Bill Bryck, president and CEO of Build Toronto in a release.

“This transaction lets us restore the property, improve its site conditions and complete the neighbourhood, all while providing financial returns to the City of Toronto, which is all part of our commitment to create greater value for the city through real estate opportunities.”

Trillium Housing and its partner, Van Mar Constructors, have a development plan for 2 Bicknell Ave. that includes 68 stacked townhomes that will front on all four sides of the block and integrate improved landscaping, completing the block and enhancing the corner of Bicknell Avenue and Rogers Road.

“Parcels of land that require further investment are a hidden gem for Toronto,” said York South-Weston Councillor Frank Di Giorgio in a release.

“The development at 2 Bicknell Ave. will be a catalyst for further growth and investment in an area of the city that is filled with mature residential neighbourhoods and new commercial growth.”

Penny Oleksiak has sports running deep in her family >>>from page 1 Canadian Olympic Committee website, said she followed the advice of her first coach.

“I definitely don’t try to hold back but I think that last 10 metres you just have to put in everything else you have left because once the race is over you’re probably going to regret it if you don’t put everything else in it,” she said.

It didn’t immediately sink in she had earned silver.

“The first few seconds after I touched the wall I didn’t look back, I was just trying to catch my breath,” she said, in the COC media release. “I wasn’t even sure I medalled until I looked up and I saw the Canadian flags in the air around me. Getting to see that and then getting to see that you medalled is just an amazing feeling.”

She immediately looked for her parents and siblings who were all in the stands to watch her remarkable performance.

“I saw my dad, he stood

up and waved to me. He was literally the only person I saw, everything else was just blurred.”

Sports runs in Oleksiak’s family – brother Jamie Oleksiak is an NHL defenceman with the Dallas Stars,

Hayley Oleksiak is in rowing at Northeastern University.

Prior to Monarch Park Collegiate, Oleksiak attended Glen Ames Senior Public School after previously attending Kew Beach Junior Public School.

On Saturday night, Oleksiak proved to be a world-class closer as Canada came through to capture the Olympic bronze medal in a historic women’s 4 x 100metre freestyle relay.

It marked Canada’s first

swimming relay medal since 1988, and first in that event since 1976.

Veterans Sandrine Mainville of Boucherville, Que., and Chantal Van Landeghem of Winnipeg, delivered a strong opening two legs at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium. That left the job ending the nation’s 40-year Olympic medal drought in the event to Oleksiak and another 16-yearold, Taylor Ruck of Kelowna, B.C. On the final lap, Oleksiak separated from the other bronze hopefuls, setting off a celebration on the pool deck as she touched the wall at three minutes, 32.89 seconds – a Canadian record.

Michelle Williams of North York, who swam in the morning qualifying, also earns Olympic bronze.

Oleksiak delivered a 52.72-second anchor leg after swimming her 100-m butterfly semifinal about a hour earlier.

“I wasn’t super-nervous

because the other girls had all done their job and got us in position,” Oleksiak said, in an interview posted on the Swimming Canada website.

“It (earning the bronze medal) is surreal because no one expected us to win a medal and now everyone is talking about it.”

Alison Oleksiak in an interview half a decade ago said the family are longtime beach residents.

“My husband has lived in the Beach for over 30 years, my parents and I for 20,” said Alison. “We moved 12 years ago from the east end of the Beach closer to the box and pool, so the kids could play shinny and swim.”

And she added.

“Great place to bring up kids!”

Oleksiak had one individual event remaining: the 100m freestyle with heats and semis on Wednesday and finals Thursday night.
