Scarboroughs new face is Jennifer McKelvie, a scientist, ratepayer president, and an aspiring politician.
McKelvie was named Tuesday night as interim leader of the Scarborough Community Renewal Organization, a group formed to find a common vision for one of the worlds most diverse places and fight for improvements.
Our organization is about identifying what our needs are, and how we want Scarborough to be known, McKelvie said after the groups first meeting at the Scarboro Golf and Country Club.
Were willing to put in the hard work to make this a better place to live, work and play.
SCRO is meant to carry for-ward a community renewal campaign started by local Rotary clubs, which released 14 recommendations a year ago.
Dave Hardy, the campaigns mastermind and an urban plan-ner, said his fellow Scarborough Rotarians had grown tired of the condescending attitude we were receiving from the rest of Toronto.

A personal support worker who remains in hospital following the Feb. 5 fire at a Malvern seniors apartment building is being hailed a hero.
Police said the worker was check-ing in on one of the residents when she came upon the fire on the fifth floor of the home, at 1315 Neilson
Rd., around 3 p.m.(She) then started helping people
out and put herself in danger, 42 Division Det. Sgt. Gerry Heaney said in an interview Wednesday (Feb. 24). We believe that she is a hero.
The health care provider was among 15 people taken to hospital. Three died while three others remain in serious condition.
Originally she was critical. We didnt think that she would survive
and she has, Heaney said of the personal support worker.
The other two who remain in hospital are elderly residents of the home.
The cause of the two-alarm blaze is still being investigated by the fire marshals office and police, who are awaiting test results from the Centre of Forensic Sciences.
Were still trying to locate some of the displaced residents to be prop-
erly interviewed, Heaney said.The displaced fifth-floor residents
are expected to return to their units when repairs and renovations are completed at the end of April.
The fire marshals office had said the building was compliant with respect to the amount and location of sprinklers.
Police didnt release the names of the victims, but media reports have identified the deceased as Hyacinth
Roberts, 72, her husband Charles, 90, and Azeema Safraj, 86.
Toronto Community Housing, which runs the building on Neilson Road, was charged this week with violating the provincial fire code for having combustible materials in an exit route.
Toronto Community Housing could face a maximum fine of $100,000 in connection with the charge.

Scarborough, once known as the City of the Future, had eroded over decades as a manufacturing centre, with inadequate hospitals, pockets of poverty, and churches and karate schools moving into its employment areas, he said.
During the same time, Hardy said, the area produced really dynamic young folks he meant hip hop perform-ers and rappers which put Scarborough on the cultural map.
But while hed like to see a concert by Grammy Award-winnning The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) in Scarborough, I have no place to do that right now, he said. We dont have a museum, we dont have an art gallery, we dont have a performing arts centre, added Hardy.
Scarborough has all those things already, but a larger-scale arts centre and concert hall is among the campaigns ambitious long-term goals.
Hardy, who has said the clubs wanted community champions to take the campaign off their hands, promised Rotarians will stay involved until no longer needed. Rotarians are in key SCRO positions, including Gerard Baribeau as interim vice-chair, Harry Hakomaki as treasurer, and Scott Hua as head of a committee on economic growth.
Eight committees, each with interim chair, were named in all, including for social development, arts, culture, tourism and sports (ACTS), health promotion and seniors, natural environment, and suburban planning.
McKelvie said each needs to find as many different perspectives as possible by recruiting local people from all ages and walks of life.
Each interim chair will host a first meeting, asking who each small group might be missing and hoping organiza-tions will offer them meeting space, she said.
McKelvie, who will lead the administration commit-tee herself, is president of the Centennial Community and Recreation Association, sits on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority board,
and finished second attempt-ing to unseat Scarborough East Councillor Ron Moeser in 2014.
Justin Brown, co-founder of another new group called Trailblazers of Canada, which teaches youth social eleva-tion skills, noticed youth were lacking in the audience Tuesday.
But he said he will work with others at the SCRO to bring more young people into the renewal movement.
Pat Sherman, an Agincourt resident, suggested it would be useful if SCRO could get Ontario Health Minister Dr. Eric Hoskins to act on recom-mendations for large-scale investments in hospitals for Scarborough and west Durham. I think its time for the citizens of Scarborough to stand up and say, Its our turn, he said.
Phyllis McLeod said she should join the health com-mittee after asking whether
SCRO will push for more mental health supports in Scarborough.
Too many youth are being expelled from Scarborough schools as troublemakers instead of getting a chance to learn, she said. Does she think SCRO, founded in a country club, can help with these systemic issues? I can still hope, said McLeod. I like that theyre reaching out.

Considering that film and television production work is worth $1 billion a year to Toronto, we think its a good idea Mayor John Tory is head-ing out to Los Angeles for a business mission in sup-port of the industry.
The mayor of one of the worlds largest centres for film, television, and digital media production should be making annual visits to help promote and protect what is an important business to our city. And he goes at an especially good time as the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar makes shooting movies and television shows in Toronto even more attractive for American production companies.
Torontos film and television sector is a growing source of jobs and economic growth, said Tory in a press release.
Along with the dollars the industry pumps into Torontos economy, its also helping grow an extremely valuable source of local talent, which
benefits our city on so many levels. Being a centre of film and television production also makes Toronto a cultural hub in Canada.
It builds a strong community of not only people in the creative arts, but also in the many technical sides of the industry from high-tech digital
imaging, to sound systems, to set building, special effects, catering, transportation, hotels and more.
Its an industry that also builds Toronto a profile beyond the film industry as it also helps increase tour-ism. While in Los Angeles, Tory has meetings planned with 11 major studios including CBS, Paramount, Warner, and Sony. According to the city, those studios alone have more than $800 million worth of projects planned for Toronto in 2016 alone.
Tory is not going by himself on this trip either; he is bringing with him a delegation of both film and tourism professionals from the city. They represent Canadian companies and the hospitality industry, and are making the trip on their own dime.
There are nine partners as part of the delegation and they are paying $5,000 each to sponsor An Evening With Canadas Stars that will showcase Canadian excellence in the industry as part of the visit. Tory will also meet with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
While some may see this as a nice excuse for the mayor to get out to California at the end of February, we view it as an important part of the job: promoting local industry and looking after our economic health.

Crazy gondola scheme might be stretching itIf youre going to pitch a crazy transit scheme like gondolas across the Don Valley to service a fancy artisanal market, prob-ably its best to make sure that nobodys planning an extravagant mea culpa about their crazy transit scheme within the same week.
Such is the unhappy circumstance that the entrepreneurial gondoliers at Bullwheel International Cable Car Corp., who pitched their plan to stretch cable across the Don Valley just days before Metrolinx moved to slash prices on the Union-Pearson Express train to boost its gossamer-thin ridership.
The train was at one time touted as a major economic development boost, pro-viding a quick link between Union Station and Pearson airport. The investment $465 million was deemed worthwhile, even as the private sector consortium initially interested in the project lost interest, and
in 2010 Metrolinx took the whole thing over.
The private sector clearly knew something that the public sector leadership didnt, because the rail line opened up with tepid rider-ship.
It wasnt hard to see why. With few stations, and
those that existed difficult to access, the only way that the 25-minute airport ride could be a convenience would be for those travel-lers who were staying or holding meetings within a short walk of Union Station.
And with the price point of $27 one way, really only executives with an expense account would have any reason to ride it.
But for that class of traveller, an airport limo ride with door-to-terminal service would only cost a few dollars more.
What a terrible idea that airport express train was.
What a terrible, seduc-tive idea. It was so seduc-tive, of course, because it played to that aspirational myth that is so damaging to Torontos more neces-sary priorities: namely, that we need to dress ourselves up in the manner of much larger cities in Europe and America in order to remain competitive.
So if there are trains from Stockholms downtown to its airport, and an express train between Victoria Station and Gatwick Airport in London, what fun it would be for us to be like that too.
So many of our major transit initiatives have sprung from that ethos.
In the 1990s, then North York mayor Mel Lastman fought tooth and nail to make sure there was money for the Sheppard subway, because he knew that building it would validate the Yonge-Sheppard hub that was to be his old citys
downtown. Scarborough is get-
ting an absurd, one-stop subway extension to the Scarborough Town Centre, because residents there have been convinced that a subway is the path to civic legitimacy.
The gondolas as described sound like a lot of fun soaring over the leafy glories of the Don Valley, carrying passengers from the million-dollar-homes of prime Riverdale to the boutiques and paths of the Evergreen Brick Works in the Don Valley and back.
It sounds almost enough fun to subsidize with tax dollars when the logistics prove too costly and the revenues too slim for the private sector.
The worst that can happen is you might have to cut your fares.

A subway crash and a mass shooting.
Thats what emergency services students and first responders were confronted with as part of a training exer-cise at Centennial Colleges Morningside campus last Thursday.
About 500 volunteers, including Centennial stu-dents from several programs, donned make-up and role played.
This gives us hands-on experience that we cant get in the classroom or out of a textbook, said firefighting student Adam Pomper.
We dont get many oppor-tunities to work collabora-tively with EMS, police and all the other first responders, so for us to use all of the equip-
ment and to work together as a team in situations such as this where we really dont know whats going to happen allows us to think on our feet and to learn from mistakes and it gets us better prepared for once we hopefully do get into a job.
playing patients
Centennial nursing instruc-tor Kimberley Mack said the mock disaster also gives her students an opportunity when theyre playing patient roles to see what its actually like to be a patient.
The provinces Emergency Medical Assistance Team (EMAT) set up a mobile field hospital that functioned as a staging and triage base to assess and treat patients. EMAT is comprised of on-call physicians, nurses and
medical specialists.Are the provinces first
responders and hospitals pre-pared to handle mass casualty emergencies?
I think that we are, said EMAT medical director Dr. Bruce Sawadsky. Thats why we do these exercises: to ensure that were prepared and find holes in our response, and then we fix them so were better for the next time.
T h e s i m u l a t i o n w a s organized and hosted by Centennial, which offers police foundations, nursing, firefight-ing and paramedic programs. Participants included medical staff and administers from hospitals throughout Southern Ontario as well as members of emergency services from the GTA.
MIKE ADLER [email protected]
Medical volunteers have felt overwhelmed by the needs of Syrian newcomers housed in Toronto hotels, and more must be ready to help, says Dr. Paul Caulford.
We will need a very strong network to deal with this, the director of the Canadian Centre for Refugee and Immigrant Health Care said last week.
I dont believe weve seen the worst refugee conditions, the most desperate cases.
Caulford, whos worked with refugees and uninsured patients for two decades, told settlement and medical rep-resentatives Wednesday, Feb. 17, hes seen new things at the Toronto East Radisson Hotel. Some 260 government-sponsored Syrians refugees, are have been in the hotel near Victoria Park Avenue for as long as four weeks after being welcomed to Toronto, he said.
This includes a large number of children, some of them malnourished, some
who have been in buildings that were bombed, Caulford added during a discussion at The Scarbororough Hospitals General campus.
One child, whos five, hasnt spoken since (age) two, when the bomb hit. Stutters only, he said. The kids arent in school, and they should be.
Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities, a community health centre, has triaged medical conditions of the Radissons newcomers, mostly to get them to various clinics.
Some doctors visiting the Radisson arrived in Toronto as refugees themselves, and work at the hotel, in my view, to build the Canada they came to, Caulford said.
At the Toronto Plaza Hotel on Wilson Avenue, which is also housing government-sponsored Syrian families,
Scarboroughs Diversity Midwives found several women who thought they would be sent back over-seas because they were pregnant. One, at eight and a half months, was hiding her pregnancy under heavy clothes, Caulford said.
The federal Liberal gov-ernment promised to settle 25,000 refugees from Syria, and Caulford said he expects that number to double as that countrys civil war contin-ues.
A larger community effort, including a network of medi-cal specialists and adequate ground transportation, is needed, he said.
Rain Irwin, an Arabic-speaking settlement worker for Catholic Crosscultural Services in Scarborough, has greeted refugee arrivals at Lester Pearson International Airport for three months, and said theyre hungry to know Canada.
But Irwin, whose mother is from Syria, was disappointed to discover many arriving Syrians did not know where they were going.
There is a lot of anger in the hotels, and all newcomers should be moved out of them, she said.
Members of the Arab Community Centre of Toronto also briefed pro-fessionals gathered at the General on Syrian culture, but Yasmine Bennett-Abuayyash, the groups communication coordinator, told them to beware of stereotypes and assumptions.
Theres no one Syrian, she said, adding though Syrian fathers may tend to make decisions for families, assuming they speak for all family members means we silence the women.
Dont assume patients will decline a service or have declined it because of their religion it could just be fear, Bennett-Abuayyash said.
She told the profession-als to be sensitive, but ask the same difficult questions about things like sexual his-tory and reproductive health they ask other patients or clients. Just say, These are questions we ask all patients; this is Canada.

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension?
Ginette van Wijngaarden, fromConnect Hearing proudly displaysthe Audo Venture hearing aid.
Do you sometimes feel that you canhear well, but not fully understandwhats being said? This can be mostevident in social conversations andwatching television. Fortunately, theremaybea solution for somepeopledealingwith this type of hearing loss theAudo Venture hearing aid has beendesigned specifically to help improvespeech comprehensionwithout beingnoticeable in the ear.Poor comprehension in conversationcan possibly be caused by undetectedhearing loss in the high-frequencyrange. This means the sensory cells inthe cochlea that hear high-range soundsare damaged as a result of circulatorydisorders, diabetes, suddenhearing lossor workplace noise. Hearing loss in thehigh frequency range makes speechsound muffled and unclear making itdifficult to hear consonants like s, f, t,k, h and g.Speech comprehension is even morechallenging when there is backgroundnoise or when television programshave backgroundmusic.The dilemmais that people with hearing loss in thehigh-frequency range do not considerthemselves to have a hearing problem.They canhear deep toneswithno issue,
and often put difficulty understandingspeechdown tounclear pronunciation.However, the time soon comes whenproblemswith comprehensionbecomeannoying.PhonakAudoVentureHearingAidsThis past year, Swiss audiologists havedeveloped a hearing aid that can, inqualified candidates, improve speechcomprehension for thosewith hearingloss in the high-frequency range. Peoplecan sign up for a free demonstrationof the Audo Venture hearing aidsby calling now to do so. During yourappointment, you will be given ahearing test and speech comprehen-sion analysis. If inner-ear damage ispresent, a hearing care professional
will determine the difference relativeto normal hearing. These values arethen programmed into the hearingaids, which precisely take into accountand balance the frequency range of theperson being tested.
Thedemonstration phase in particularis designed to clarify how speech com-prehension can be improved in varioussituations andwhat role the hearing aidtechnology called AutosenseOSplays.The hearing aid recognizes where theperson being spoken to is located andamplifies only his or her voice, whileambient noise is lowered and the opti-mumhearing programs are seamlesslyadjusted.Thanks to several synchronousmicrophones, the hearing system candetect sound in all directions and selectthe direction that speech is comingfromwithinmilliseconds.According toSwiss researchers, this can significantlyimprove speech comprehension, espe-cially in conversation for some clients.Want to find outmore about the AudoVenture hearing aid?

In the darkest of places, shine the brightest of lights.
In the wake of the abrupt closure of Goodwill Industries of Toronto, Eastern, Central and Northern Ontario (Goodwill TECNO), a group of employees came together to shine a light in the dark for some of their most vulnerable colleagues.
Although they, too, sud-denly found themselves with-out jobs, they formed Team Renew the Good. Along with providing job search and other assistance, the team started an online campaign to raise emergency funds for food, housing and medication for many in desperate need of help. In one week, members of the community rallied behind the group to pledge more than $100,000 through
the campaign.Its amazing to see the sup-
port and encouragement that weve received, and it really just reminds us how awe-some Toronto is as a city, and how much people really do care and are willing to help, said Team Renew the Good member Gladys Okine.
We established the fund to be able to support the most vulnerable of our coworkers. When Goodwill was operating
we had several employees who had physical, developmental and mental health diagnoses, and we were really concerned about their ability to secure alternate employment when we realized that the operations were stopping.
A total of $105,370 was pledged through the cam-paign, which ended Sunday. It kicked off Jan. 21 with a $5,000 donation from DUCA Financial Services, and also included a $20,000 contribu-tion from London, Ontarios Goodwill chapter.
Its amazing how all of these small and large gestures add up to providing some relief to people in this really
challenging time. It really does mean some relief a n d s o m e optimism, some hope for them, Okine said.
The Working Women Community Centre is acting as the campaigns trustee, and RBC is converting donations into prepaid credit cards or rent bank transfers. The team hopes to collect and distribute all pledges before the end of the month.
Along with raising funds, it created an online page where workers can get updates about Goodwill TECNO and
information about available resources. Members have also been helping people find new employment opportunities, and complete resums and job applications, even pro-viding rides to job interviews. They are also just checking in on people to see how theyre doing.
Goodwill TECNOs 16 stores, 10 donation centres and two offices in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Newmarket, Barrie, Orillia, and Brockville closed Jan. 16. The collapse affected more than 500 unionized and non-unionized workers, who lost their health benefits along with their jobs.

A Chinese New Year celebra-tion in Mid-Scarborough this Sunday is also a chance to get families talking about a subject few discuss, elder abuse.
Researchers interviewed Chinese seniors and their adult children in Toronto for a project on the tensions that exist when the children take care of the elders.
An open house on Feb. 28 welcomes the Year of the Monkey with activities and refreshments from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Dorset Park Community Hub on Kennedy Road. It also launches an interactive pam-phlet based on the research, which was sponsored by the Chinese Canadian National Council Toronto Chapter (CCNCTC) and groups working with Cantonese- or Mandarin-speaking elderly people.
The pamphlet presents scenarios, based on the inter-
views, from points of view of both the elder and the child, said Ben Wang, head of the research team.
Researchers talked to seniors and adult children in Scarborough, East Toronto, North York, Richmond Hill and in downtown Toronto.
Often, they were reluctant to speak openly about their problems, but those inter-viewed will be anonymous in a coming report on the proj-ect. Wang said the seniors, knowing this, appreciated a chance to tell their stories.
Traditionally, he added, seniors are in a position of authority in families, but having come to Canada many become reliant on their chil-dren. They feel like theyre not playing their traditional role.
The project found families were often reluctant to seek outside help, and many pro-grams that could help them
were not geared to their cultural needs, including language or dialect.
The CCNCTC said Chinese elders are the fastest grow-ing visible minority group in Canada, and people need to understand tensions and conflicts that can lead to elder abuse. In a much-discussed case five years ago, a north Scarborough man and woman were arrested and charged with failing to provide the necessities of life and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. Authorities said the couple had forced the mans mother to spend the winter in their homes garage. When found, she was unconscious and frostbitten.
Elder abuse exists across all societies, and its certainly not unique to the Chinese com-munity, but it wasnt some-thing the community itself spoke about, Wang said.

Ive been riding public transit my whole life. Literally.
When I was just a couple months old my mom was taking me across Malvern via two buses (116 Morningside to the 85 Sheppard) to drop me off with a babysitter. That con-tinued until I was old enough to take the TTC by myself.
And even though the minute I turned 16 I got my drivers licence and saved up all my money from work-ing part-time to buy a used vehicle, my relationship with cars usually ends up with them in car heaven and me back on public transit.
Most kids collect toy cars or Barbies or something. I col-lected TTC transfers.
Living on the east side of Scarborough I learned early on in order to get anywhere on time I had to allocate not only enough travel time, but also time for waiting on late or no-show buses and RT or subway delays. Not to mention, I had to leave a few minutes early just in case the bus driver decided to whiz by five minutes ahead of schedule.

downtown is always antici-pated to be an hour and a half, and if Im coming home late at night after covering an event, that trip could be expanded right up to three hours.
Snow storm? Well, there are no guarantees.
More than two decades later, and not a whole lot has changed. Except, of course, the ticket fares and the design of new buses.
As far back as elementary school I remember walking by empty plots of land near Malvern Town Centre and hearing from my mom about how maybe that was where they were going to build the Malvern RT stop.
Years later, as those plots of land slowly filled up with duplexes and townhomes, Id hear chatter of how they were getting rid of the obsolete RT altogether and building a Scarborough subway.
Well Im a decade into my
career, and the chatter con-tinues. Most recently, last years proposed three-stop Bloor-Danforth subway line extension has morphed into a single express stop between Kennedy and Scarborough Centre stations. And while the Scarborough-Malvern lightrail line appears to be no longer, there is talk of 17 stops of surface rail between Kennedy and University of Torontos Scarborough campus.
Call me cynical, but as I bundle up in my winter gear and grab my bag full of snacks and reading material to catch the 5:32 a.m. 131 Nugget bus and start the two-hour com-mute to Humber College where I teach, I cant help but wonder: how long until change gets here?
The Scarborough subway likely wont arrive before my moms retirement. I just hope it arrives before mine.
