Business: Discover a refuge in your backyard. Birding experts and nature lovers Jim and Lynda Mackiewicz — once customers of Wild Birds Unlimited in Etobicoke— purchased the store 16 years ago. They have been imparting their birding knowledge and expertly recommending regionally formulated bird seed, feeders and hardware to hobbyists in the community ever since!

“In our first month advertising with Metroland our sales were up

25%!”

“We’re really serious about being the local backyard bird feeding experts,” says Jim. Everyone who works in the store goes through rigorous training, ending with a 120-question test, to make sure every customer gets the best advice.

Solution: They started a yearlong advertising campaign in the Etobicoke Guardian in June to build their brand and presence in the community.

Wild Birds Unlimited advertised a coupon offering a free bag of birdseed to get new customers in the door. 102 coupons were redeemed within a week, 60 of which were new customers. While redeeming their free bag, coupon users in-store spending totalled more than $1000.

BREATHE EASY

W

hat do you do when a solid eight hours of sleep still leaves you feeling exhausted and listless in the morning?

For millions of Canadians suffering from sleep apnea, that’s a daily occurrence, and while sleep apnea itself may not be deadly, its side effects can be severe, particularly when they add up over weeks, months or years.

Sleep apnea is an obstruction of the trachea during sleep, which stops breathing and causes fits of wakefulness.

In serious cases, people can be jolted awake more than 60 times an hour, and while the body returns to sleep quickly, the condition prevents deep sleep.

“Your sleep becomes mincemeat,” said Dr. T. Douglas Bradley, director of the University Health Network Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and Toronto General Hospital Sleep Research Labs.

“It’s like sticking a cork down your throat, so you struggle to breathe because your airway’s obstructed and you can’t get any air in your lungs.

That goes on for a minimum of 10 seconds and can last up to a minute and a half. Eventually the asphyxia wakes you up and when that happens, there’s a sudden increase in the tone of the muscles in the throat, so the throat opens, usually with a loud snore.”

Sleep apnea affects some 10 per cent of the population in North America, with men three times more likely to suffer from the condition.

Age is a factor – the average sleep apnea patient is 45 years old – and obesity and inactivity are strong contributing factors.

Bradley noted that sleep apnea is disruptive not only to the sufferer, but to their partners as well, as those suffering from the condition snore loudly through-

out the night. The effects on the sufferer, however, can be debilitating.

“You feel like you’ve been hit by a 10-ton truck when you get up in the morning, often with headaches, feeling like you’d like to go back

to bed again,” he said.

The ensuing sleepiness throughout the day can lead to a three to fourfold increase in the incidence of getting involved in motor vehicle accidents and industrial accidents.

Beyond that, sufferers tend to toss and turn throughout the night and can suffer a loss of shortterm memory and libido.

There are also potential long-term cardiovascular health effects, with sleep

apnea sufferers seeing a two to fourfold increase in the incidence of high blood pressure, stroke and heart failure.

“When you fall asleep, your cardiovascular system relaxes just like the muscles

in the rest of the body, so your blood pressure goes down, your heart rate goes down, oxygen consumption by the heart goes down because the heart’s resting,” Bradley said.

“If you keep waking somebody up, you get surges of sympathetic (nervous system) activity that raise the heart rate, raise the blood pressure and increase the pumping activity of the heart at a time when it should be resting.”

Potential cures for sleep apnea are varied, depending on the severity of the case. Bradley noted that prevention is the greatest cure – by maintaining a healthy body weight and keeping active, the risk of developing the condition is greatly reduced.

Other simple solutions include sleeping on your side or having your tonsils removed if they are particularly large, though these only serve to help some patients.

For many, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks are the best treatment.

Worn overnight, the face masks blow air through the nose and into the back of the throat to keep the airway open.

“This controls sleep apnea, but it doesn’t cure it,” Bradley said.

Securing an appointment in a sleep clinic to get diagnosed can be difficult.

To help with the backlog, Bradley worked with a group of partners to form BresoTec, a company that has developed a home testing kit. A face mask – the BresoDX – captures sleep sounds in the patient’s home through a microphone and patients can simply mail in a chip containing the recording for analysis.

“It makes diagnosis easier and we can look at a patient’s full night’s sleep in less than five minutes,” Bradley said.

Toronto can take steps to stop youth violence

WRitE uS

T

he message delivered at an anti-violence seminar for youth held in Toronto last week was “just think first”. Unfortunately, based on the past weekend, the message didn’t get through.

A 15-year-old boy was killed after a stabbing on the bus platform of the Scarborough Centre SRT station Friday, Sept. 23. The stabbing was part of a fight between two groups of about 25 young people on the platform. The night after, a 17-year-old boy was injured in a stabbing at the YMCA located close to the station. Police aren’t saying if the incidents are connected. Either way, the toll this OuR ViEW violence takes on the families and friends of the victims, and our city as a whole, lasts forever.

Let’s build And it’s all so unnecessary. hope for There is nothing 15-year-old Kareem Derr could have done young people Friday night that should have ended in his murder.

But that’s what happened, and now his family must deal with the loss of a son and brother. Somebody made a decision to stab him, and when that person is caught their life will also be ruined.

What the Just Think 1st TO summit was trying to achieve last week was making young people understand the consequences of violence.

Specifically, it was aimed at residents who “by virtue of lifestyle and or lack of conflict resolution skills have a heightened propensity to resort to gun violence as a solution to a problem or challenge.”

They could have inserted knife for gun in that statement as the end result is the same. One life lost and another ruined. The event was hosted by RISE Edutainment at a Scarborough community centre where young people gather. Randall Adjei, of RISE, said young people need to think more critically about the effects of violence. “It’s a deeply-rooted systemic issue,” he said.

So how do we deal with that? Building hope for young people at risk of turning to violence by providing them with educational and employment opportunities is a start. That will make them more able and willing to stand up to violence, and not use it as a way to solve petty issues. As Adjei said, much of how we deal with violence is our reaction to it after the fact. Ways of preventing violence in the first place are far more valuable solutions. newsroom ph:

Scuttled licensing plan is a gift for Toronto cyclists People who use their bicycles to commute may not all see it this way, but for many, the end of September means the end of prime bike commuting weather in Toronto. It’s going to get darker and colder and slipperier from here on out.

At City Hall, councillors on the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee celebrated that end this week with two gifts to those cyclists: one, approving a plan to go ahead with separated bike lanes on Woodbine Avenue in the Beach community and, another, to kill a motion by Etobicoke Centre Councillor Stephen Holyday to look at a system for licensing cyclists.

It was a good morning’s work. The separated lanes on Woodbine will be a boon to bike riders in the east end, making, as Jared Kolb of CycleToronto noted, a safe and separated route from near the edge of Scarborough to downtown Toronto.

And that bicycle licens-

david nickle the city ing plan? Holyday’s brainchild was probably never going to go anywhere even if it had made it through the committee.

In 1995, the former city of Toronto studied the idea and rejected it as costly and ineffective, and that rejection has been good enough for subsequent councils, who occasionally see attempts to get a report that says something different. The impetus for bike licensing – an idea that has caught on exactly nowhere – is usually presented as a measure to control joyriding cyclists: if you don’t get off that sidewalk, son, we’re going to take away your license. Blow through that stop sign will you?

Better get a Presto card because that bike’s going nowhere. As Holyday notes, a Forum Research poll found that more than half

of its respondents wanted to see a bicycle licensing fee applied in Toronto.

One would have to speculate as to why all those people wanted the fee in place, but it’s unlikely to be the same reasons that Holyday articulated in his motion and at committee: namely, to be able to gather data for future infrastructure planning, and to encourage more people to make use of a city datamining cycling phone app.

It’s not entirely clear that these form the core of Holyday’s motivations, either. Earlier this year, the scion of former councillor Doug Holyday’s political dynasty named himself as the defender of the rights of the driver, and made certain to insist on a very fine-grained study of the separated bike lane pilot project on Bloor Street.

Young Stephen doesn’t like to bring his father’s fire to the floor of council, but he does bring the old man’s automobile-centric

skepticism of two-wheeled transportation. This time, the committee was having none of it, and Holyday’s motion was deferred indefinitely. The fact is that council has already put its will behind bicycle transportation. It’s approved a 10-year cycling plan that is based on a great deal of study, consultation and data-gathering already conducted. There’s no need for a licensing system to gather more data, it’s unlikely that the licenses would generate enough revenue to pay for even a miniscule portion of the cost of providing bicycle infrastructure on roads, and police can enforce the Highway Traffic Act any time they see fit. Really, it’s just time to get on with planning and building the infrastructure – and accepting that bike riders are a part of the city’s fabric.

City officials aim to keep Toronto livable, affordable TCH at a glance

>>>from page 1 So far, as many as seven bids from a combination of private and non-profit developers wishing to build affordable housing have come in at other available sites, Tory pointed out. The 15 identified properties together represent 1,750 rental homes, and more than 640 affordable ownership homes worth more than $100 million in land value.

n Toronto Community Housing operates 2,100 buildings. It is Canada’s largest and North America’s second largest provider of social housing. n TCH provides housing to 60,000 low- and moderateincome households and 110,000 residents. n 38 per cent of residents are children and youth, 37 per cent are adults, and 25 per cent are seniors (aged 59+)

$900 million investment Since Bailão was appointed Toronto Housing Advocate soon after her re-election in 2014, council has approved 522 affordable housing units to be built across the city.

In May, 550 families on Toronto’s affordable housing waiting list received new housing allowances – $250 a month – to supplement the cost of their rent while maintaining their spot on the waiting list, Tory said. The city will have invested $900 million by the end of the year towards its share of the $2.6 billion repair backlog at Toronto Community Housing.

“We are working hard to keep our city affordable and livable,” Tory

Davenport Councillor Ana Bailão, Toronto City Council’s housing advocate, and Mayor John Tory announce the city is taking action to build more affordable housing Tuesday. The two spoke of Toronto’s Open Door program, which streamlines the approval process while increasing financial incentives and releases surplus land for development, including 640 Lansdowne Ave., a former TTC lot, which has been vacant for years. It will soon be turned into an affordable housing site.

said. “We need the federal and provincial governments to take action.

The shortage of affordable housing is a serious social issue, but also an

economic issue.”

That’s the mission of Friday’s housing summit, to convince both federal and provincial governments

to step up and take a larger role in addressing the affordable housing crisis that’s happening in most Canadian cities.

t’s the small things – buying underwear, for instance.

There’s the boys department, and the girls.

Mandy Klein made a mistake when she picked a pack of undies for her teenager Micah from the girls’ section. Turns out, one pair was pink.

Micah was so upset thinking about the girly pink pair, her parents say, that by the end of day Micah had cut the underwear into tiny pieces and tossed them in the trash.

Randy and Mandy Klein are doing their best to treat their child’s gender identity with respect, but sometimes, the Newmarket family struggles with the day-to-day details.

Micah, 16, came out as gay last year and several months ago, said they are gender fluid. Micah prefers “they and them,” dresses generically and considers themself male or female depending on the day, and sometimes the time of day.

It’s all new territory for the Kleins as they navigate a minefield of lan-

A Massachusetts mom was accosted by a stranger who said allowing her three-year-old son nicknamed “Roo” to wear a tutu was child abuse. Her Facebook response went viral: “Roo may not always want to dress this way, but we hope that he’ll remember that, when he did, he was loved,” she wrote.

guage and lifestyle for their only child, who is also autistic.

“I avoid using pronouns when I can,” Randy says. He uses Micah’s

first name when he thinks of it, but it can get confusing and emotional.

“I tell her – them – ‘when you correct me…don’t yell. I understand you’re passionate about it, but I forget. It doesn’t mean I’m being disrespectful.’”

The Kleins say they will stand by their child, wherever this journey takes them. In the meantime, Mandy says gender-neutral departments in stores would make life easier.

It could happen. Parts of society that have traditionally been segregated are undergoing a rapid re-think.

Anthems are being rewritten, Facebook invites you to customize your gender profile, the Oxford Dictionaries website added Mx as an alternative to Mr. or Mrs., and everywhere, lines are blurring between male and female. Here are some of the shifts we’ve noticed:

PUBLIC WASHROOMS All-access washrooms are popping up everywhere and this summer, Toronto’s CNE garnered accolades for

its cheeky take on the topic.

Instead of the traditional porta-privy signs showing a man in pants or woman in skirt, the Ex cubicles displayed icons of someone wearing half dress/half pants, along with the words “We Don’t Care.”

SPORTS Hockey in Ontario now has new trans-inclusive rules, unveiled earlier this month thanks to Oshawa teenager Jesse Thompson.

Thompson, born a girl, challenged the Ontario minor hockey league’s policies that prevented him from using the boys change room at the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.

EDUCATION School boards across the GTA, Simcoe County and Muskoka are addressing gender in a variety of ways such as teacher liaisons, professional development, symposiums or genderneutral washrooms.

FASHION

Fashion runways have become gender-fluid with androgynouslooking models in heels and skirts, trousers and tweed.

CONSUMER PRODUCTS From Entrepreneur Barbie to gender-free nursery decor, marketers are responding to the genderbending trend.

The Toy Industry Association announced it would drop its genderbased Toy of the Year awards.

Gender is one of the Top 4 trends to impact the marketplace, research group Mintel says.

Police cruisers in Toronto are getting a new look. Over the next five years, the police force will replace its white scout cars with grey Ford Interceptors.

Police take a shine to grey ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto. com Police cruisers in Toronto are getting a new look.

Over the next five years, the police force will replace its white scout cars with grey Ford Interceptors.

“Given the ongoing modernization of the service, it was felt the time had come to change the look of our cars as well,” said Toronto police spokesperson Meaghan Gray in an interview with Metroland Media Toronto.

“We did pilot the new design

out in 23 Division last year.

My understanding is that they were well received by both the public and the police officers.”

But there were some concerns, primarily that the new cruisers aren’t as visible, despite their white reflective decals.

“We disagree with that.

We think the cars are actually quite visible,” said Gray, noting the new cars have “the same sort of markings as our old cruisers as far as the word ‘police’ and the lights and the sirens.”

While grey police cruisers

may not be the norm today, they may be the way of the future.

“We’ve seen a couple of services even in Ontario that have started to make that move towards this different look,” Gray said.

Toronto police have a fleet of 500 cruisers, which have a life span of four to five years.

“It’ll take about five years to replace our entire fleet,” Gray said.

During that period the public will see a mix of white and grey cruisers out on the road.

uReport: Toronto Boxing Academy’s Brock Arthur wins in four rounds Brock Arthur was back in the ring last Saturday at the United Boxing Promotions event at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga.

Arthur faced off against Lindon Chambers, which was scheduled for four rounds.

Throughout the bout, Arthur was able to control and effectively pressure Chambers. His aggressive attack had Chambers stunned on numerous occasions. After the fourth and final round, the fight went to the score cards.

Arthur picked up a unanimous decision win improving his record to 3-1-1.

He is hoping to step back in the ring to compete once more before the end of the year. In the meantime he will be back in the gym continuing his coaching of fighter Shanice Szmidt who will be making her professional boxing debut Oct. 15 in New Brunswick.

Cyclist, pedestrian collisions in the city PULL! are under-reported according to police It seems the number of cycling and pedestrian collisions this year is much more than what has officially been reported.

T h e To r o n t o P o l i c e Service regularly tweets collision information via @ TPSOperations, but according to urban planner Kyle Miller it’s only reporting 37 per cent of all incidents involving a pedestrian or a cyclist.

He forecasts the real number of collisions to stand at a staggering 3,500 by year’s end.

While it could be the unreported collisions aren’t of a serious nature, thus not meriting reporting, the numbers reaffirm there’s something seriously flawed with road safety in this city. Hopefully they offer some sobering food for thought for our elected officials.

UBER SAFETY InITIATIVES ARRIVE wnEW

Uber Canada says it’s introduced new safety initiatives for its Toronto drivers.

The ride-hailing com-

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT pany has added new features to its mobile app used by drivers to pick up fares.

These include a daily report on driving habits with suggestions for better driving, a display of the vehicle’s speed and a notification to drivers to take a break or sign off if they’ve logged a lot of travel time.

Uber Canada is expected to roll out the changes nationwide in the coming weeks.

CHARGInG STATIOnS On THE WAY? wMORE

The city finally appears to be getting serious on adding more charging stations for electric vehicles.

The Public Works and Infrastructure Committee at Tuesday’s meeting voted to refer a report to city staff to seek immediate solutions for expanding the limited amount of charging stations in the city. Toronto, as

motion mover Mary-Margaret McMahon observed, has the reputation of being environmentally progressive and yet lags far behind other cities when it comes to electric vehicle use.

SURVEY In PROGRESS wTRAnSPORTATIOn

Got an opinion on transportation? You might be getting a call from the Ontario government one of these days.

Ever y five years, the Ministry of Transportation conducts a survey collecting information about a household’s travel habits. The data is used, says the government, in future transportation planning.

For 2016, invitations were randomly mailed out to participate in the survey either over the phone or online. Cold calls are also planned between September and December.

Rahul Gupta is Metroland Media Toronto’s transportation and infrastructure reporter. His column runs every Thursday. Reach him on Twitter: @TOinTRANSIT

Choose foods produced organically, locally and in season.

Support your regional farmers and farming industry: buying locally and in season is better for the environment than buying foods that have been shipped hundreds of kilometers to your local market.

Put a composter in your backyard or use your green bin to reduce household waste.

Composting organics has two key benefits: it reduces the amount of waste going to landfills and when added to your garden, helps nourish soil and plants.
