Region 'ground zero' for dementia cases LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com Although Teresa Durante learned English after moving to Canada from Italy in 1959, dementia is robbing the senior citizen of her ability to speak her second language. Fortunately, her round-theclock caregiver, Connie Bertucci, discovered a new day program in Vaughan for Italian-speaking seniors who have been diagnosed with early-stage dementia or Alzheimer's. "We moved (to Woodbridge) to be with the Italian community because I came from Oakville where there was a beautiful program but they were all English-speaking and English food and it just made it that much harder," Bertucci said at the official opening of the Calabrian Benevolent Association of Ontario (CBAO) Centre at Islington Avenue and Hwy. 7 as Durante painted at a nearby table with other seniors. "When I found this program, she felt at home in a way because they speak Italian. The environment, she just fit in and she felt good. I'm so fortunate to find something like this to give me two days off a week. She loves it here, she loves the people, the people are terrific. It
means a lot to her. They should have more of these (centres)." With an aging population and a growing number of patients with dementia, there is an increasing need for services, including those that cater to multicultural residents, Loren Freid, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of York Region, said. "The needs are not being met. The dementia population is substantially larger than the services that are here for them," he said. Because short-term memory is the first stage of memory to go with Alzheimer's and dementia, the diseases' victims born overseas often lose the ability to speak the English they learned after moving to Canada and revert to their mother tongues, Freid said. "All of this is a unique challenge here in York Region for a couple of reasons. One is York Region has perhaps the fastestgrowing population of seniors across the country," he said. "While dementia is not a normal part of the aging process, age is its most significant risk factor. So, York Region is essentially ground zero for seeing an increase in people with dementia."

Hoarding habit tough to break Woman says urge to hoard will always be with her TIM KELLY tkelly@yrmg.com
yorkregion.com
It all started, innocently enough, with a childhood rock collection. But decades later, the middle-aged mother of three sons found herself raging in a wild family fight that left her temporarily homeless, barred from a house so stuffed with papers, furniture, clothes and other hoarded goods she was banned from living there. How did it get to this for the Vaughan resident? Now 54, Sandra (not her real name) grew up in Toronto, the daughter of what she describes as poor Italian immigrants who she said were both hoarders. "It was more my father than my mother. They had the immigrant mentality and it was whatever you could get for free," she said in an interview last month.

Tips to prepare for winter storm Winter is here and with it comes an increased risk of a blizzard or ice storm. The following is a list of five major things you can do to prepare yourself and your family for winter storms. ● ’Winterize’ your vehicle. Make sure to change to winter tires, check your antifreeze, keep extra windshield washer fluid and always keep an ice scraper or snow brush handy. It’s always a good idea to check if your vehicle’s heating is fully working, you don’t want to be caught in subzero temperatures with a broken heating system. ● Own a good shovel or snowblower. It goes without saying that having a durable shovel or snowblower is absolutely critical to surviving a Canadian winter. Remember to stop shoveling if you feel any pain or risk to your health.
● Salt the ice. It’s a good idea to keep a bag of salt to remove ice. Sprinkle the salt on top of the ice and let chemistry do the work for you. Make sure to keep salt away from your vehicle however, as it can cause rust. ● Maintain your home heating. Check your home heating system to make sure it’s fully functional for the winter season. Properly seal your ducts and windows so no heat escapes the home. Clean your furnace and change your filter for optimal heating. ● Avoid frostbite. Frostbite is damage to the skin and tissues due to freezing and most often occurs at our nose, fingers and toes. You can prevent frostbite by limiting your time outdoors in cold, wet or windy weather, and dressing in several layers of warm clothing including gloves, a hat and warm socks.

Divisive politics unCanadian
The Thornhill Liberal, published every Thursday, is a division of the Metroland Media Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The Metroland family of newspapers is comprised of more than 100 community publications across Ontario.
W
hat are Canadian values? How do we define them? What’s in our DNA that indisputably says, ‘this is us’? If one were to pose those questions to 10 different people, we would quite possibly get 10 different answers. Metroland Media did recently ask people across the county to express what they believe our values are. Answers included: “We try not to offend people.” “The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” “Taking care of veterans.” “Owning a house and having a job.” “Heritage and democracy.” “Respect for our other Canadians, our neighbours.”
The Thornhill Liberal is a member of the National NewsMedia Council. Complainants are urged to bring their concerns to the attention of the newspaper and, if not satisfied, write The National NewsMedia Council, Suite 200, 890 Yonge St., Toronto, ON M4W 2H2.

Leitch, who cheered Donald Trump’s win, has actually seen her support grow of late. If Canada’s genetic complexity is such that the values we cherish are so diverse, then what are we to make of MP Kellie Leitch’s vow to screen potential immigrants for conformity to those principles? Leitch, a candidate in the race to replace Stephen Harper as federal Conservative leader, says if she’s in charge “every visitor, immigrant and refugee will be screened for Canadian values.” Presumably, these values would be defined by Leitch. Immigrants would have to conform or try somewhere else. It’s a proposal destined to divide rather than unite people, but that is likely Leitch’s intent. We just witnessed an anti-immigrant candidate capture the United States presidency in perhaps the ugliest, most divisive campaign we’ve ever seen. Leitch, who cheered Donald Trump’s win, has actually seen her support grow of late, a development that may embolden her as she works to demonize another group - Canada’s so-called political and media ‘elites’ . If history and Trump’s example teach us anything, it’s that politicians can manipulate angry, alienated, fearful people. It’s important that we recognize Leitch’s approach for what it is - the same faux populist, obnoxious opportunism that inspired the Harper government to give us the barbaric practices tipline, the attacks on the niqab, and references to old-stock Canadians. (Had Harper instituted a values test, it would likely have screened for conservative, rather than Canadian values). Divisive polices couldn’t extend Harper’s reign and we contend that Leitch will also be disappointed as she seeks to divide us for her own ends. The Republican party could not stop Trump, but federal Tories can certainly send a message that they will not head down the same path as they select a new leader.

Saddened by lack of Remembrance Day coverage I was deeply saddened by Thursday’s Liberal. I fully expected to see a photo and article regarding the Remembrance Day ceremony held Sunday, Nov. 6, 2016 in Richmond Hill. Have our community values changed so much that our veterans young and old are no longer worthy of the front page of The Liberal? The service was very touching as always and had a wonderful turnout. I am in awe of the senior veterans who were able to attend the ceremony and continue to “stand on guard for thee”. Thank you to our veterans for their “true patriot love” and service to help make Canada “glorious and free”.

Election result shows true character of some voters Everyone wondered why the polls leading up to the election were so wrong. People realized that publicly supporting a candidate who clearly exhibits racist and sexist behaviour, never mind potentially having conducted potential sexual offences, would be clearly viewed as morally wrong. It is, however, what you do when no one is looking (i.e. voting in a private booth which could be considered equivalent to wearing a white hood), that one’s true nature and character are

OMB editorial not based in reality Re: Time to Scrap OMB, Nov. 3. Having been involved in the development business in the 1980s and early 1990s I believe that your editorial is not based on reality. The OMB serves an important function for neutralizing decisions of biased municipal politicians. These politicians, by and large, do not necessarily vote for what is good for their constituents but rather for what the neighbourhood wants, be it good or bad. Let’s be honest; nobody wants change in their neighbourhood regardless of the proposed redevelop-
ments scale. Not only will the local councillor vote against the development but he/she will lobby the rest of council to vote likewise. The only fallback a developer has is the OMB, who are not swayed by municipal politicians. I agree that the members of the OMB should not be appointed. A solution may be to have them elected in provincial ridings during provincial elections, not municipal elections. Without the OMB, very few developments will proceed based on the current approval process. If you want to do away with the OMB, make the approval process fairer and not politically motivated. There are ways to accomplish this but that is not the topic of this editorial. Tom Deutsch Thornhill

Waiting game: Patients in line too long to see ER doctors, says HQO CHRIS SIMON csimon@yrmg.com
You may have a shorter wait to see a doctor in an Ontario emergency room these days, but many of those departments are under an increasing amount of stress, according to a report released by the province's health care quality adviser. Health Quality Ontario (HQO) recently released Under Pressure: Emergency Department Performance in Ontario. The report takes a broad view of the state of hospital ERs in the province and looks at performance measures such as patient satisfaction rates, ER visits and time spent at the hospital. However, its findings offer a warning to many ERs - a large-scale incident could cripple a department's ability to offer quality patient care. "Many patients wait too long in crowded emergency departments to be seen by
Steve Somerville/Metroland
Sherwin Jamisola holds his son Syrus at the entrance of an assesssment room a doctor," states the report, which is available at hqontario.ca. "While progress has been made in overall performance, an (ER) could be strained beyond its capacity to provide quality to all its patients by a bad flu season, or if a hospital nearby has to temporarily close its emergency department. Long waits to see a doctor are not merely inconvenient... there can be serious negative consequences." The risk of infectious disease outbreaks, medical errors and death increases
the longer a patient waits for assessment, says the report. Under Pressure shows that the maximum amount of time nine out of 10 patients spent in the department dropped from 8.7 to 7.8 hours between 2008-2009 and 2014-2015. The limit patients waited in emergency to see a doctor also dropped, from 3.6 to three hours. However, the number of annual visits to provincial ERs increased 13.4 per cent, more than double the 6.2 increase in Ontario's over-
all population during that time. In total, there were nearly 5.9 million unscheduled Emergency visits in 2014-2015. The increase in visits is blamed largely on Ontario's aging population - patients over 65 tend to require more frequent and complex care. Many sick patients, who should be admitted to hospital or handed over to long-term care facilities, get stuck in ERs for extended periods of time because there is a lack of available beds in in-patient wards,
Health Quality president and CEO Dr. Joshua Tepper said. "Patients may spend hours and sometimes even days lying on stretchers in emergency examination rooms or hallways," he said. "Even with the demographic challenges the province is facing, the concerted efforts made by government, hospitals and others to improve the performance of Ontario's emergency departments have brought many positive changes. But it's clear that much work still needs to be done to make emergency departments work better for all patients." There was a 29.1 per cent increase in visits by people ages 65 and older. Visits by more seriously ill - or 'high-acuity' - patients who were not admitted to hospital increased by 44.1 per cent, while the number of people who were admitted rose 17.5. However, the report also seems to direct some blame
toward other areas of the healthcare system. 47 per cent of adult Ontarians reported visiting Emergency for a condition they thought could have been treated by their primary care provider, if that doctor or nurse practitioner was available. All these extra visits put ERs "under a great deal of pressure", the report states. Ontario has set targets for ER length of stays. The proportion of visits completed within the four-hour non-admitted low-acuity patients increased to 89.9 per cent, up from 84.6. Meanwhile, visits completed within the eighthour target for high-acuity patients and admitted patients rose to 85.7 per cent from 79.8. Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care spokesperson David Jensen says the province is providing an additional $140 million in funding to Ontario hospitals this year, to help further reduce wait times.

York Region hospitals make strides on ER wait times CHRIS SIMON csimon@yrmg.com Many other Ontario hospitals can look toward York Region for inspiration when reducing wait times. Newmarket's Southlake Regional Health Centre is top in Ontario for ER wait times - at about 1.3 hours on average. According to Health Quality Ontario's recently released Under Pressure: Emergency Department Performance in Ontario, the limit patients waited in Emergency to see a doctor in 2014-2015 was three hours. "We are leaders in the province, specifically our door to doctor time, which far exceeds the provincial average," Emergency department director Kim
Storey said. "We've found a number of operational efficiencies and a philosophy change. We're able to react, in real time, to our patients. We're really proud. Wait times translate into quality of care." Southlake's ER handles about 300 patients per day - they're on pace for 111,000 in total this year. That makes the Southlake ER one of the busiest in the province, she said. Physician schedules are tailored to meet patient needs every day and the doctors are assisted by 'navigators' tasked with organizing some of the routine elements of their jobs. This allows the doctors to focus on providing care, rather than searching for reports or scheduling their time. Also, the
provincial Pay-for-Results financial incentive program has played a prominent role in motivating the hospital to reduce wait times, she said. Markham Stouffville Hospital is also exceeding expectations, with wait times of 2.1 hours in 2014-2015 and two in 2015-2016. Among other initiatives, MSH has an estimated ER wait time section for its Markham and Uxbridge facilities on msh.on.ca. The ER pages include: the number of patients at the hospital, a stopwatch image with a wait time indicator, and a graph showing the estimated busiest times for the department over the upcoming six hours. There's also a list of potential alternatives to the ER,

Meanwhile, wait times are also declining at Richmond Hill's Mackenzie Health in each of the last three years. So far in the 2016-2017 fiscal year,
wait time is 2.6 hours, compared to 3.2 the year before. The wait time was 3.4 hours in 2014-2015. "On any given day, we see 250 to 320 patients at (the) Emergency department," Mackenzie spokesperson Catalina Guran said, noting the hospital had 109,000 emergency and urgent care visits in 20152016. Mackenzie offsets some ER visits by offering an Urgent Care Centre, 9401 Jane St. in Vaughan, for patients of all ages with non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries that do not require hospitalization or immediate surgery. The centre has on-site diagnostic and treatment services such as; x-rays, casts, stitches and laboratory tests.

Emmerson to run for York chair, Taylor out, Jones iffy LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com
One's in, one's out and the other is mulling. A week after the provincial government introduced legislation to make York Region's chair an elected position in the next municipal election on Oct. 22, 2018, the candidates who vied for the job the last time around are declaring their intentions. At the moment, the chair is selected by 20 mayors and regional councillors. But it is important to turn the decision over to voters, Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard said. "It is a fundamental, democratic right that the most powerful political position, an individual who oversees a budget of $2 billion and debt that's close to $3 billion, is directly elected and accountable to the people of York Region," he said. Current chair Wayne Emmerson will run for the job, with some observers saying candidates' campaigns could run in excess of $500,000. "It is my intention to run for regional chair in the next municipal election if the legislation passes," he said. Newmarket Councillor John Taylor, who lost to Emmerson in 2014 and has advocated for an elected chair, said he won't seek the job. "I have decided to focus my energy, passion and effort primarily on the town of Newmarket," he said, adding he hasn't given much thought to his next campaign. "There are a number of exciting opportunities and projects in the near future in Newmarket and I want to make sure that the town I grew up in continues to be one best places to live in all of Canada." Markham Councillor Jim Jones, who pulled out of the 2014 race, said it is too early to determine if he will run. The provincial legislation would allow voters in York, Niagara and Peel to elect their chairs. Chairs in Durham, Halton and Waterloo are already elected. The legislation is expected to pass easily at Queen's Park. , said Ballard.

There are about 15,000 people in the region with some form of dementia, which is expected to double by 2031. There are about 80 languages spoken in the Greater Toronto Area, according to the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance. “York Region as part of the GTA forms the largest, most diverse ethnocultural community in Canada so it is extremely important to have dementia programs in the native languages of the people who live here,” Freid said. Not only do programs help people with the disease communicate more easily, but they also encourage family members to work with organizations such as the Alzheimer’s Society to get their loved one the care they need, he said. The society, a leader in providing programs, including staff able to provide services in different languages, helps about 2,200 residents and their families a year. That’s only about 15 per cent of the 15,000 York residents with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Both Freid and Dr. Giovanni Marotta, clinical adviser to the CBAO seniors day program, are worried about the impact of the growing population of Alzheimer’s and dementia patients on the health care system. “There are 360,000 cases of dementia in Canada and every minute, a new case is diagnosed,” Marotta said. “Dementia is ranked fourth in the world for disease burden and that’s increasing.”
The day program, sponsored by CBAO and Active Green + Ross, helps clients perform to the best of their cognitive and behavioural abilities while also giving caregivers a break, Marotta said. “What also makes our program unusual is that it has come from generous donors from within our community. They’ve seen the gap in care and the suffering within our Italian-Canadian families with long wait lists,” he said. “We have a number of day programs here in the Greater Toronto Area but the wait lists are long. Last year, wait lists for clients in the Vaughan area were approaching one year.” The centre looks like a light industrial workplace rather than a nursing home or community centre. “Many individuals with dementia are afraid that the usual day programs in nursing home settings are a preparatory step to get them ready for (a) nursing home,” Marotta said. “(At CBAO), it is just the opposite. We also know that many of our elders with dementia were blue collar workers who had little time for hobbies. The program tries to invite them into a return to a work environment, which is a familiar setting for them. They are more receptive to the physical, mental and social exercises inherent in the program structure.” Maintaining intellectual and functional abilities allows people with dementia to hold on to their independence and avoid nursing home care for longer, Marotta said.

Annaleise Carr, 2012 and 2014 Ontario Junior Citizen, Simcoe, ON At 14, Annaleise Carr was the youngest person ever to swim across Lake Ontario. Two years later, Annaleise swam across Lake Erie. Combined these efforts raised awareness and hundreds of thousands of dollars for Camp Trillium, a family camp for children with cancer.

YRMG Santa Fund helps families give kids a happy holiday LISA QUEEN lqueen@yrmg.com There was little joy in the first Christmas Jolyana Hamoodah spent in Canada with her young children. While the native of Iraq was grateful to be in the safety her new homeland, she missed her family back home and had no money for gifts or a special meal to
make the day brighter for her daughter and son. The small family spent the day watching TV in their Newmarket apartment while Hamoodah, a single mother, tried to hide her tears from Leza and Christian. "Christmas was just Christmas with nothing. We just stayed at home watching TV. I was just
crying, crying and I don't know what I have to do. I called my family and they tell me it's OK. It was snowing and we don't have a car, we don't have anything. No friends. It's hard when you don't have family or friends or anyone," the single mother of Leza, 6 and Christian, 3, said. "But last year was different. People gave us gifts.
My children were so happy and we feel that we have something special in Canada." Last year was brighter because Hamoodah became a client of York Region Media Group's Santa Fund. Run by YRMG, which publishes local community newspapers and yorkregion.com, the fund
supports families in need throughout the holiday season through partnerships with local charities and volunteers who act as "elves" to collect, buy and distribute food, clothing and gifts. Hamoodah was matched to the Santa Fund through Catholic Community Services of York Region's Welcome Centre Immigrant
Services. The annual campaign, which has been running for more than a decade, makes a real difference in the lives of clients, settlement counsellor Zully Zambrano said. If you would like to contribute to the Santa Fund, call YRMG at 905-853-8888 or email Pacheco at tpacheco@yrmg.com.

Flato Markham Theatre presents ‘Shanghai Nights’ and ‘Pralaya’ AMANDA PERSICO apersico@yrmg.com Experience the world of culture through the live arts. This month, the Flato Markham Theatre brings diversity and culture to the stage with performances by the Shanghai Acrobats and Sampradaya Dance Creations. The Shanghai Acrobats presents "Shanghai Nights," Nov. 25 and 26, a dreamlike story about a boy who becomes friends with a phoenix.
Sampradaya Dance Creations presents "Pralaya," Nov. 29, a tale of dynastic conflict, chaos and mystery. "These productions have immense cultural value," said Flato Markham Theatre general manager Eric Lariviere. "There is so much to learn from other cultures. The programs we offer are unmatched in the GTA, we are leading the way in making diversity a priority." "Shanghai Nights" is a performance set to amaze where confounding contortions, aerial
skills, twirling lanterns, hoop diving, unicycle troupe and gravitydefying acts take centre stage. While the story is about a boy who befriends a phoenix, the performance showcases the delicate tensions between pageantry and precision, and beauty and balance. Over the past 50 years, the Shanghai Acrobats has become one of the most competitive acrobatic companies in China. The Flato Markham Theatre will host several performances of "Shanghai Nights" - Nov. 25, 10:30
a.m. and 8 p.m., and Nov. 26, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Sampradaya Dance Creations, an award-winning South Asian dance company, joins forces with distinguished Balinese choreographer and master of Topeng mask dance, Wayan Dibia to create "Pralaya" - a modern retelling of the Indian epic "Mahabharata." "Mahabharata" is a story where feuding families are torn between lust, revenge, greed and ambition for the throne. An epic game of dice decides who will reign and who will flee.
THORNHILL
"The 'Mahabharata,' the epic poem on which 'Pralaya' is based, was composed thousands of years ago and is as relevant today as it was when written," said Sampradaya's artistic director Lata Pada. "Pralaya" brings this epic game of dice to life through a fusion of Indonesian and Indian dance, shadow puppetry and masks. There is one performance of "Pralaya," Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. at the Flato Markham Theatre. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit markhamtheatre.ca

Get ready for entertaining season with a layered, luxurious living room
Combining new design concepts with vintage artisanal furniture creates living spaces that are simultaneously more functional and luxurious than ever before. With indoor entertaining season around the corner, it’s the perfect time for a rejuvenation. Update your space with these tips for creating a cozy, well-designed living room from Sharon Grech, colour and design expert for Benjamin Moore.
Blend old with new: Make your blended space look considered and intentional, not chaotic. “Modern furniture answers the need for comfort and utility, while mid-century accessories serve as a base for creating an upscale atmosphere,” explains Grech. “Mix contemporary, traditional, and antique pieces to create a layered,
well-balanced space. Pay attention to clean, modern lines on items like picture frames or tables and pair with rich, weighty pieces like tufted sofas or mirrors with ornate frames. It’s all about mixing hard with soft, square with round, heavy with light.”
add even more contrast, paint the ceiling a colour as well.” For the richest colour results, Grech recommends using Aura from Benjamin Moore, which is visibly thicker and produces the most saturated colour even in the deepest shades.

cozy finishes:
Crown moulding always adds architectural interest and a sense of luxury to any room. For an affordable and easy update, consider polyurethane or MDF moulding. “Polyurethane moulding is especially lightweight and easy to cut and install,” says Grech. “Achieve subtle texture by painting moulding in a different sheen than the wall and ceiling. Traditionally, crown moulding is painted white to contrast the wall. To
Vintage accessories, low-pile shag rugs, heaps of hand-sewn pillows in different materials, and old fashioned candle holders will give any living room a warm vibe. Grech suggests adding a bit of a rustic edge by stacking wood near the fireplace or making your own fall garland with dried leaves. Get inspired by more living room ideas at www.benjaminmoore.ca.
