East Metro Youth Services (EMYS) has expanded its ‘What’s Up’ Walk-in Clinic hours – it is now Toronto’s fi rst youth mental health centre to offer free coun-selling on Saturdays.

The new hours started this month and respond to a high need of service. The clinic offers counselling on depression, anxiety, self-harm, bullying or family issues for Scarborough residents, but it has counselled young Torontonians from across the city.

“We know that youth and families in crisis doesn’t end at 5 p.m. on a Friday,” said David O’Brien, Clinical Services Supervisor, EMYS.

When the clinic opened in

2011, the common feedback received was disappointment over a lack of weekend avail-ability.

O’Brien says the new hours respond to the needs of fami-lies because “the traditional 9 to 5 workweek has become a relic.”

The ‘What’s Up’ Walk-in Clinic offers immediate, barrier-free mental health and addictions counselling. Average wait time is 20 minutes.

The clinic is located at 1200 Markham Rd., Suite 200. It is open: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 2-8 p.m.; Tuesday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Six Toronto Rotarians are headed to India to partici-pate in the country’s National Immunization Days in February.

Scarborough’s Dr. Raffy Chouljian, a member of Rotary International for 15 years, and his fellow Rotarians will join two-million vacci-nators participating in the widespread vaccination of 170 million children over the

course of two days. They leave on Feb. 13.

Also taking part in the immunization campaign in India are Scarborough’s Jennifer Boyd, who has chaired the Rotary District Polio Awareness Day for the past three years, and Ryan Fogarty.

“Rotary International has been working to eradicate polio for 30 years,” Chouljian said. “They started in 1985 and back then there were over 1,000 infected polio cases a

day, now it’s less than 100 a year.”

Today, only three countries in the world have cases of polio; Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. As Nigeria’s cases are minimal, Africa’s most populous nation is set to eradicate the disease in “a couple years,” Chouljian believes.

But in Pakistan and Afghanistan, immunization efforts are impeded due to local conflicts in the region.

Applying the vaccine is

straightforward, instead of a needle it’s just two oral drops. It’s why India sees its vaccination efforts as feasible with 170 million children. The country of 1.2 billion had its last case of polio in January 2011.

Polio eradication efforts have been spearheaded by Rotary International and a global partnership with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, Center for Disease Control and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Several

nations also contribute funds, including Canada.

For Chouljian and other Rotarians, helping vaccinate children is a “hands-on” way to help. “This connects the dots,” Chouljian said. “You’ve got to be there personally actually doing something, not just sitting back home and sending a cheque.”

The original goal to eradi-cate polio set 15 years ago when Chouljian first joined was slated for 2005. In 2015, polio remains a threat but

the number of cases have significantly dropped.

“It’s been frustrating because we’re not there yet,” Chouljian said.

“But we’re optimistic that in a couple years the world will no longer have polio. If we don’t finish this it’ll come back, we have to keep push-ing so we can finally eradicate this disease and even move onto another one.”

Bring a soccer ball, a tobog-gan, a hot chocolate, your dog.

People in Scarborough’s “Greater Bendale” area are being urged to show up to a pair of local schools on Family Day with whatever instruments of fun they can muster.

Neighbourhood advo-cates say a successful “play-in” on Monday, Feb. 16, on fields behind David and Mary Thomson Collegiate and Bendale Business and Technical Institute is a chance to save those “school parks” from development.

“The park is a blank slate for you to have fun in,” Mark Weiser, a spokesperson for the Greater Bendale Advocacy Team, said this week.

“Just play. In our minds, that’s the purpose of the public access lands.”

How the 1 p.m. event, along with the GBAT’s letter-writing and lawn sign campaigns, would force the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to stop the sale of those lands is unclear.

The board – now under intense pressure from the

province to cut costs, and caught in a wave of public anger over scores of possible school closings – declared both Bendale and Thomson “surplus” years ago, and promised a replacement school on part of their prop-erties near Midland and Lawrence avenues.

Community representa-tives such as Weiser were told Thomson would be sold to a French school board. After taking part in consultations on a townhouse develop-ment within the Bendale lands, they were stunned to

learn the Thomson property would be the site of more townhouses.

Af ter a sympathet ic Scarborough Community Council insisted on seeing more consultations with residents before it approved the Bendale plan, the TDSB appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Weiser, also president of the Midland Park Community Association, said GBAT’s website, saveourschoolparks.org has distributed 160 lawn signs near the schools.

“People are taking them

five and 10 at a time,” he said, vowing to keep up the fight for what residents insist are vital parts of their neighbour-hood.

Weiser responded to ques-tions on how the residents can win that fight, or what they might do next, by declaring the Greater Bendale protests were now part of a city-wide movement to save all “school parks” the board threatens to sell.

“People don’t know how to fight this big machine. We’re trying to give them the oppor-tunity,” he added. “We as a

city are saying no.”This week, Scarborough

Centre Councillor Michael Thompson, who said last month he was trying to get part of school properties reserved for community amenities such as a child-care centre, said he made a proposal to board officials more than three weeks ago.

They haven’t responded to his enquiries since, he added.

“The school board has been rather lax, rather indif-ferent, rather unsympathetic to the community’s desire” to

work with them, Thompson charged, adding the continu-ing protest in Greater Bendale “shows the community’s frus-tration.”

The TDSB last month promised to host a com-munity meeting “updating” residents on its development plans.

Sp o k e s p e r s o n Sh a r i Schwartz-Maltz said the board is “talking to the city” and “trying to come up with a plan to take to the com-munity.”

Once the board has a plan, “which, hopefully, will be in the next few weeks,” it will call a public meeting at which residents can hear details and be part of the plan’s “fine-tun-ing,” she said on Tuesday.

There is no date scheduled yet for an OMB hearing on the Bendale sale.

Weiser said he would like to see a new school built to replace Bendale and Thomson, conceding both of the buildings are aging, but he added the sale process “has been disingenuous.”

“Let’s start again. Let’s do this properly,” he said.

A friend of mine, Who Shall Remain Nameless, is going to a special gala on Monday called Hats Off To Family Day and she’s beside herself with worry.

Nameless is her maiden name, by the way. She made me swear under oath not to reveal her married name. For what it’s worth, I also had to sign an affidavit and have it notarized. It embar-rasses me to say, I actually had to Google ‘affidavit’ before I agreed to do any-thing. But please don’t tell her that.

Anyhow, the invitation said it was a come as who you are party (not to be confused with a come as you are party) and anyone not attired in such a manner would be refused entry.

No wonder she was on edge. She says she finds it tough enough to pin down who she is at the best of times, but on Family Day it’s even more difficult because her relatives have seen her wearing so many different hats over the years.

First off, the majority of the crowd knows her as mom so showing up in a mom hat would be a good choice. Ditto for a mommy hat.

Throwing on her proud grandmother hat would be a nice idea. She has that hat on a lot these days. She’s also known as Nana by many in the family, so being decked out in her nana hat would work just as well.

So would sporting a daughter hat. She’s been a daughter the longest of any of her many identities over the course of her life. She’s a sister as well, which she’s been for only two years less than she’s been a daughter, so donning her sister hat would make a lot of sense.

She’s been a niece, for considerable time, so a niece hat would be fitting, even if said hat doesn’t quite fit like it used to once upon

a time.She’s known as aunt and

auntie so an aunt hat or an auntie hat are both worthy possibilities. Additionally, she’s a sister-in-law, so a sister-in-law hat would be well received.

And she regularly reminds everyone that she’s also an aunt-in-law and auntie-in-law, so nobody would be too surprised if she showed up in her familiar aunt-in-law hat or auntie-in-law hats. Her prospective hat list is long.

“You’ve got to help me, Jamie. Please. Who should I go as?”

“Are you going to make me swear under oath one more time, sign a new affidavit and have it nota-rized, before I tell you?” I grumbled.

“Of course. And I’d expect you Google ‘affidavit’ again, too,” she giggled.

“Hey, how do you know I did that?”

“What can I say? I read your column. Just don’t let that get around, especially

on Family Day. I have a reputation to uphold. Several actually. But back to the matter at hand, which hat should I wear?”

“Why not put on all of them? On top of one another. In the order that they’ve been a part of your life. When you all doff your respective hats in honour of Family Day, you’re sure to be the hit of the party.”

“That’s not half bad, even for you. So, do you promise that’ll happen?”

“I’m not swearing under oath again, signing yet another affidavit and getting it notarized, if that’s what you’re looking for,” I sighed.

“I hear you. I’ve put you through enough already. So forget the guarantee. How about this: Any chance you could you just Google ‘affi-davit’ one more time? You know, for old times’ sake?”

Hats off to your Family Day celebration

How can Toronto optimize the legacy of the upcoming Pan Am Games?

What opportunities are there to create last-ing change in our communities as a result of hosting the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games this summer?

In this space last week, we wrote of how the Pan Am Path, an 84-kilometre trail being built to connect communities across the Toronto region, could create a living legacy for the city.

It’s not the only example. Consider the facility construction and renova-

tion that have taken place in Toronto because of the Games: The Aquatics Centre at the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus. The track and field facility at York University in North York. The reno-vated Etobicoke Olympium. The Pan Am / Parapan Am Fields at the University of Toronto’s St. George campus. Several sites in CIBC Pan Am Park located along the shores of Lake Ontario, including Exhibition Place, Ontario Place and the West Channel.

We can make use of those facilities in terms of promot-ing physical activity and enabling community partici-pation in local events. There are significant opportunities to impact the lives of many Torontonians.

Consider that there’s an entire neighbourhood – the Canary District – in the West Don Lands being con-structed that will serve as temporary home for athletes this summer. Following the Games, that neighbour-hood must integrate into the surrounding community and the city as a whole. How that transpires can serve as an example for other neighbourhoods when they experience a major development.

And it’s not just bricks and mortar examples. There are opportunities for local businesses. There’s the opportunity to learn more about another culture being represented at the Games. There’s the volunteer expe-rience.

This isn’t about whether having the Games in Toronto is a good idea or not. We’re past that point. This is about making use of what the city will have after the Games and building the best possible legacy.

There is potential to enable positive change on a grand scale.

Learn more about the Games. Learn more about the facilities and parks being built. Understand how you as a resident of Toronto can take full advantage of Games facilities to create a better lifestyle once the Games are done. Anything less would simply be a wasted oppor-tunity.

Focus on legacy of Pan Am Games

Scarborough’s image as a place where streets are wide and empty

of cars at night will be chal-lenged at a meeting next week.

Local city councillors are hostile to the very idea of on-street permit parking.

In 2009, they made their wards part of an “exclusion zone” where councillors won’t accept requests for a permit parking system on a street, even if most resi-dents vote in favour.

But now Raymond Cho is asking Scarborough Community Council to endorse a review of that policy in his ward, where families tagged regularly for parking on some streets overnight are seeking relief.

TickeTs every day

“Some residents claim they get tickets every day. Others say they get a couple a week,” said Cho, whose Scarborough-Rouge River ward includes Malvern and Morningside Heights.

He said these residents are asking why people in other parts of Toronto can pay to park legally over-night, while they can’t.

“They felt it is totally unfair,” said Cho, adding Scarborough’s reality is some adult children now live at home, and some families have three or four cars as a result.

Cho will request a staff report on the “feasibility” of permit parking in his ward at the community council meeting next Wednesday, Feb. 18.

But though Cho said he’ll

be supporting residents’ right to choose as a matter of principle –“We have one city,” he said this week – other councillors can be expected to fight hard against on-street parking.

Perceived ThreaT

Just the mention of it last month prompted Scarborough-Agincourt Councillor Jim Karygiannis

to talk about illegal room-ing houses and the threat they pose to neighbour-hoods.

Chin Lee, community council’s new chairperson, said the issue has divided Scarborough and argu-ments about street parking are heard in every local community.

“Our society is chang-ing. Our demographics are changing,” added Lee, who

said he and his council col-leagues “are under a lot of pressure” from people on both sides of the issue.

The exception to Scarborough’s street park-ing “exclusion zone” is a few streets in the southwest corner where a 12-hour regulation applies, and a few others south of Danforth Avenue and west of Warden Avenue where - thanks to their recognized lack of driveway space - a permit system is still pos-sible.

Everyone else’s street is on the three-hour system, where calls by feuding neighbours or parking enforcement officer assign-ments can result in whole streets being tagged, often in the wee morning hours.

driveway bylaw

Scarborough’s parking squeeze is tightened by a bylaw that stops driveways from going beyond the width of a home’s garage, even to cover a width paved previously by a home’s former owner.

It’s a restriction hom-eowners on lots wider than 50 feet don’t face in North York, and Scarborough East Councillor Paul Ainslie has asked the city’s planning committee to allow the same widening – enough space to park two cars in front of a single-car garage – on 50-foot Scarborough lots.

Staff will report on his

request soon.Ainslie said many hom-

eowners on wider lots have large families and need more parking.

Some look at neighbours with 35-foot-wide lots and two-car-width driveways across the street, thinking the situation isn’t fair, he said this week.

Such residents “aren’t going to pave over a whole front yard,” Ainslie added.

But Ainslie said he doesn’t think a street park-ing system is necessary in Scarborough.

Requests for one come rarely in his ward, and more often than not, they’re from people who want to rent out rooms or basement apartments, he said.

Cho said he doesn’t want illegal rooming houses in his ward, but he argued it’s larger homes which often have a double garage, so Scarborough’s parking rules favour richer families.

“Poor people, they cannot buy this kind of house,” said Cho, adding how other Scarborough councillors respond to parking requests in their own wards should be up to them.

Many streets across Toronto allow overnight permit parking, but that’s not the case in Scarborough. A meeting of Scarborough Community Council is expected to discuss the issue next week.

We’re creating endlesspossibilities this year.

Predictably, Toronto council didn’t want to trouble itself this week with more ques-tions about the Scarborough subway plan.

Councillor Josh Matlow dared them to do other-wise, submitting five fairly uncomfortable administra-tive inquiries poking holes in council’s plans to hike taxes and build an expensive three-stop subway along a route that had been slated for a fully funded seven-stop light rail line.

Questions asked, questions answered, council decided, voting to approve a motion from Deputy Mayor Glenn De Baeremaeker to receive the inquiries and not send them along to Mayor John Tory’s Executive Committee.

T h e q u e s t i o n s we re answered, by city manager Joe Pennachetti as the rules require. Given those answers, one might have thought coun-cillors would be interested in a little more talk. Matlow wondered about the sunk costs that the city will be responsible for paying on

the cancellation of the light rail line. Pennachetti said he’d report later, although leaked documents indicate it sits at $75 million. In 2013, they were estimated at $10 million more.

What will the new subway cost to run? Pennachetti said $30 million to $40 million a year for capital mainte-nance.

What of SmartTrack and its impact on ridership of the subway? All of that will be factored in to further stud-ies emerging as the subway environmental assessment unfolds, and the SmartTrack preliminary work proceeds.

And what is that ridership? In 2006, the city estimated 9,500 people per hour. In 2013, ridership was estimated at 14,000.

In the end, only six coun-cillors thought those ques-tions required more study. De Baeremaeker, with the bless-

ing of Tory, carried the day and the matter is shelved.

A f t e r t h e v o t e , D e Baeremaeker pointed out that many of the questions Matlow posed had been answered in 2013 when council made the leap from light rail to subway.

But things change. Among other things, De Baeremaeker is proposing another $150 million for a fourth station on the line.

Matlow is not the only one uncomfortable with this. Deputy Mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong voted against the subway in 2013 and still thinks there are problems. But that’s not the same thing as wanting to reopen the matter. The public wants to get on with things.

There is one more ques-tion, though: are Torontonians tired enough of debate to sign a blank cheque for a transit plan that’s looking more and more like a bad fit?

Guess we’ll find out.

w power loss on scarborough rT

Scores of Scarborough RT riders were forced to switch to emergency shuttle buses over the weekend following an extended outage on the aged transit line.

The TTC blamed “elec-trical power loss” for the hours-long shutdown of the line from Kennedy to McCowan RT stations which lasted much of Saturday.

This year should have marked the opening of the Scarborough LRT, which would have replaced the RT. But with plans switched to building a subway extension it won’t be until at least 2023 when Scarborough residents have a new transit option.

Until then the TTC hopes to extend the shelf-life of the RT and should it eventu-ally break down beyond all repair, replace its operation with buses.

wTTc worKers seeK bacKing from mayor

Mayor John Tory got a rough ride from transit workers this week demanding he take a position on the pos-sible contracting out of TTC

union jobs.The mayor was greeted

with chants of “keep transit public” from workers at the TTC’s Hillcrest maintenance facility when he toured the site Monday.

At issue is an agreement signed with the province giving the TTC the right to operate the planned lines, including the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, but leaves design and maintenance responsibilities to the pro-vincial government.

wpile of snow blocKs biKe share sTaTion

For days, a mound of snow has blocked access to a Bike Share Toronto station.

Last Thursday, TTC board member Alan Heisey first tweeted a photo of the snow-covered station at the northeast corner of King Street and University Avenue, which looked like it was covering at least half of the available bicycle docks where members of the bike share pick up or drop off

their rented rides. Heisey then tweeted

another picture Monday showing the snow had still not been removed.

City councillor Pam McConnell confirmed through Twitter the snow was left by a private contrac-tor.

wspaDina sTaTion To geT inTerneT access

Spadina Station will soon have access to subway Wi-Fi, the TTC announced last week.

Museum and St. Patrick were the latest stops con-nected to the list of sta-tions already offering the TCONNECT wireless net-work that riders can access for free from their smart-phones. Spadina is set to go online next month.

Last year, service provider BAI Canada pledged to have the downtown subway loop completed in time for the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games this summer

w stacey centre seeks Help for roof repair

Scarborough’s Tony Stacey Centre for Veterans Care is appealing to the community for help as it raises funds for a much-needed roof repair to the facility, which opened in 1976.

Located on Lawson Road, the centre provides long-term care services.

An estimate for repairs to the roof came in at about $138,000, and the work is desperately needed according to officials at the centre. Time is also critical as past a certain point next year, repairs will not be effective and

the entire roof will need to be replaced at a cost almost four times as much as the repairs.

It’s not just something that happens to soldiers.

Other people, perhaps even someone you know, have post-traumatic stress disorder, and many are “suf-fering in silence,” said a group of hospital supporters orga-nizing a forum on PTSD in Scarborough next week.

Survivors of torture and war can develop PTSD, and

so can survivors of natural disasters, serious accidents and sexual assaults, as well as emergency responders who have witnessed them. “It’s your mind and body’s way of trying to deal with the trauma,” said Sidonia Couto, a mental health councillor for the Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture.

The symptoms of PTSD, though distressing, are not abnormal, Couto, a speaker for the event at Scarborough

Civic Centre on Tuesday, Feb. 17, explained this week.

Common signs and symp-toms of PTSD – substance abuse and other destructive behaviours among them – are ways people cope with trauma instinctively, but these will not actually help them get better, said Dr. Ash Bender, a psychiatrist at The Scarborough Hospital.

“Chances are, if you get help, you’re definitely going to see improvements in deal-

ing with these symptoms,” he said.

But Bender worries many people are not getting help, some because they’re not rec-ognizing the signs of PTSD or feeling too scared.

Couto said bias against seeking help is heightened in newcomer communi-ties, even when people do recognize PTSD symptoms. And differences – cultural, language – make it harder for newcomers to get help

from mainstream services, she added.

For trauma survivors coming from authoritarian countries, “there’s a lot of fear in contacting authorities” and over what happens if they disclose personal struggles, said Couto, whose organi-zation has two offices in Scarborough near Eglinton Avenue, one at Kennedy Road and another at Victoria Park Avenue.

Other speakers at the Feb.

17 event, which runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., are Michael Cole, a retired Canadian Armed Forces pilot and PTSD sufferer, and Leo Tsang of the Toronto Paramedic Services.

The forum is free, open to all and presented by TSH’s Community Advisory Council, a volunteer group of Scarborough residents.

A well-deserved standing ovation was given to the cast of Scarborough Music Theatre’s latest musical pro-duction The World Goes ‘Round, The Songs of Kander and Ebb.

This unique show, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, showcases some of the best songs from the duos most popular musi-cals including Cabaret, Chicago, New York New York and Kiss of The Spider Woman.

Each song, about 40 in total, com-plete with their own scenes, themes, choreography and costumes, is a welcome treat from the standard musical that follows one story line and one set of characters.

Ten different performers perform the entire musical in what can be described as a high-energy show that takes the audience on an amazing ride, evoking every emotion from laughter and love, to sadness and silliness.

The powerful opening number, performed by Zandee Toovey, is the show’s namesake called ‘And the World Goes Round,’ and from here, the performers don’t slow

down, leading right into two full company numbers, ‘Yes’ and ‘Coffee in a Cardboard Cup.’

There were some songs that flowed well into each other and seemed like they were a fluid

story despite being from different shows, and others that stood on their own.

There are love songs, funny songs, ridiculous but funny songs like ‘Sara Lee,’ sung by Dan MacEachern that

is a whole song about a guy who loves “her baked goods.”

The songs are all diverse and varied; the variety is astounding and the performers do an amazing job with each scene.

The direction, choreography and staging are also ideal as each scene was accompanied by its own video backdrop and props, and the live orchestra was the icing on the cake.

Toovey and Haley Matte and powerhouse singers, as showcased in audience-favourite duo num-bers like ‘Class’ and ‘The Grass is Always Greener.’ Chin is sweet and endearing, and Shannon Lew is also powerful and sings beautifully in the higher octaves. Gibson has an amazing range and could sing sev-eral different types of songs.

The men are impressive in several numbers including a sweet solo, ‘Mr Cellophane Man’ sung by David Wicken, ‘We Can Make It’ sung by Derrick Evans and ‘Marry Me’ sung by Jonas Cope.

The energy in this show is mind-blowing, and if you are looking to see a feel-good show that is all about entertaining the audience, this is the ideal performance for you to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Music Theatre’s latest production provides great entertainment

27 transit

RAHUL GUPTA [email protected]

A member of a north-Scar-borough church is accusing the TTC of disregarding future traffic volumes in its haste to build the McNicoll bus garage.

Vincent Ching is opposed to the bus facility planned for industrial land owned by the city at the intersection of McNicoll Avenue and an

expanded Redlea Avenue, south of the Scarborough Baptist Church located at 3223 Kennedy Rd.

Ching, chair of the church’s board of directors, said the TTC is ignoring findings from a traffic study commis-sioned by another McNicoll neighbour, the Mon Sheong Foundation Long Term Care Facilities, which forecasts increased congestion levels arising from future condo

construction proposed as part of Pacific Mall redevelopment plans.

“They say Redlea will be the saving grace for traffic, but they only accounted for the buses,” Ching said following a public consultation organized by the TTC for the McNicoll bus garage which was held Thursday, Feb. 5, at Mary Ward Catholic Secondary School.

Ching said he’s worried

traffic from TTC buses enter-ing and leaving the facility via Redlea will add to already-congested conditions.

TTC spokesperson David Nagler said the majority of buses serving the garage will run along Redlea outside of rush hour periods.

He said traffic counts of existing volumes, which were presented at Thursday’s meet-ing updating work on a proj-ect study for the garage, show

TTC buses have a minimal effect on existing conditions at Kennedy and McNicoll.

Nagler also pointed out having better public transit service in the area could con-vince people to forgo driving and take the TTC instead.

“Any future condo develop-ment at Steeles – or otherwise – makes a stronger case for the need to improve transit and the construction of the McNicoll Bus Garage,” said

Nagler via email Monday.Nagler disagreed with

Ching’s opinion there hasn’t been enough consultation for the McNicoll plan, saying the TTC has provided enough opportunity for public feed-back on the study which it must complete to satisfy provincial requirements.

Residents, TTC staff disagree over impact of McNicoll bus garage

i The TTC’s project report on the garage is due in May, to be followed by public review.

Truth in Advertising Matters.

Creativity is subjective. The truth isn’t.
