With spring around the corner, many of us are thinking about fresh approaches to our surroundings and life in general. In nature we see rebirth, and inside Canadian homes people are spring cleaning. Throughout the Village of Islington, many service providers help their clients to improve their personal well-being and the condition of their property. This issue of the Times will look at improvements to many areas: health, finance, musical instruments, computer data, eldercare and the home. Bill Massis, owner of the Vacuum Centre, an established business of 30 plus years in our area, is a local merchant who has been successful because of his company’s commitment to service. Like most of the mom and pop shops that are still thriving, his store manages to offer what the big box stores often lack – great products with warrantees, valuable service, and a sincere willingness to help. Recently Bill’s shop has been shining on Google with hundreds of positive reviews and an increase in business resulting from his dedication to digital marketing provided through the BIA and Digital Mainstreet.

You may have you heard the expression, “cleanliness is next to godliness”, which originated from John Wesley’s 1778 sermon. Although this phrase sounds biblical, it is not! Nevertheless, the early residents of Islington seemed to cling to the notion that keeping a clean home was important. Carole Bennett, retired administrator of the Islington United Church tells us that if a congregation had a manse, it appointed a manse committee to ensure its care and upkeep for the congregation’s minister and family, a practice continues to this day.
In days gone by, there were usually men and women on the committee with the roles divided between them: men looking after the major repairs, supplying the heating, firewood, coal, etc., women focusing on the decorating and regular (usually interior) maintenance of the home. In 2010 when the BIA commissioned John Kuna to paint a mural on the site of an earlier manse at 4879 Dundas W., it was decided to take a “tongue-in-cheek” approach to the mural because there were instances where committee members could be quite intrusive in fulfilling their roles, deciding on the furnishings, the fabrics and colours, advising the minister’s wife on housekeeping, and so on. The Manse Committee mural depicts a group “protecting the church’s asset.” When visitors tour the Islington murals, they get a good laugh at the idea that a committee would use a white glove test to inspect the cleanliness of someone’s home. This mural, which Kuna refers to as the cutaway, depicts everything that may have been inside the manse if the building’s east wall was cut to expose brick and all of the interior furnishings to scale and proportion.
Manses still exist in some United Church pastoral charges (congregations) and a manse committee is still required to ensure the comfort of the minister and her or his family. Manse committees are required to maintain an accurate record of the type of construction, state of repair, size and age of the manse. They should also have a record of the furnishings and equipment owned by the pastoral charge/congregation within the manse, if any.
Even today, manse committees of the United Church of Canada continue their role in caring for these residences.

Kitchen wall down the normBy Michael LaMarche
When considering a kitchen renovation, particularly in older village homes where space is at a premium, many homeowners are opting for removal of the structural wall between the kitchen and the dining room to make better use of the main floor living area.
“The change is dramatic,” says Michael Lamarche, partner at Instyle Kitchens and Bathrooms (416-833-4343, www.ikb.ca). “Removing a wall transforms the main floor of the house from a tight and cramped area to a place where family and friends can gather and enjoy themselves in a more inviting, designed space,” he says.
Removing the dividing wall frees up space, making the living and dining room more functional. The wall down reno also allows more light to shine from room to room, making the open-concept area feel lighter and brighter.
Some customers are concerned with how a wall down renovation will affect the structural integrity of the home. Instyle takes care of everything from engineered permit drawings to cabinet styles and construction to a three-dimensional cabinet layout, giving the customer a bird’s eye view of what the project will look like at completion. The Instyle team has completed kitchen wall down renovations in more than 200 homes in the area.
To better understand how a wall down renovation will transform their home, new customers are encouraged to visit past customers who trusted Instyle with their renovation projects. New customers can talk to previous customers about the experience of taking on such a large renovation project and working with Instyle Kitchens and Baths.
As an added bonus, at the time of the kitchen renovation/wall down, many customers request that all of the existing hardwood flooring be removed. This way, Instyle can put down a new subfloor and new hardwood.
Instyle Kitchens and Bathrooms is located at 361 Jane Street. For more information
on this or any type of project call 416-833-4343 or www.ikb. ca and request a no
charge estimate and consultation. Please note showroom visits are by appointment
only.

Doors Open Toronto 2018 theme to celebrate Toronto’s thriving film industry
The 19th annual Doors Open Toronto presented by Great Gulf returns on Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27. The annual event showcases some of the most architecturally, historically, culturally and socially significant buildings across the city. This year’s theme, Film: The Great Romance, will explore the city’s film and television industry. “With more than 1,400 on-location film, television and digital media productions taking place in the city each year, Toronto is North America’s third largest screen-based production centre and the heart of Canada’s film and television sector,” said Mayor John Tory. “I’m excited for residents to discover some of the iconic places and spaces in Toronto where not only actors, but also other specialists such as designers, carpenters, make-up artists, animators and writers hone their craft.” The Doors Open Toronto program will showcase buildings featuring historic cinemas, film and television studios, post-production houses, digital media studios, artist-run centres as well as buildings that have been featured in film and television, many of which are not always open to the public. “Doors Open Toronto is one of Toronto’s favourite annual events,” said Councillor Michael Thompson (Ward 37 Scarborough Centre), Chair of the Economic Development Committee. “This year’s event opens the doors of some of the venues where 30,000 people in Ontario’s $2.5 billion-per-year film industry work to create film and television programming of the highest quality. It’s a rare opportunity to get backstage and explore the buildings that support this important cultural industry.” A series of walking tours exploring several of Toronto’s neighbourhoods will be on offer along with the OpenInsights speakers series, a music series and other special programs. About Doors Open TorontoSince its inception in 2000, Doors Open Toronto has attracted more than two million visits to 800 unique locations across the city. It is Canada’s largest Doors Open event and one of the three largest Doors Open events in the world. Doors Open Toronto is dedicated to celebrating built heritage, architecture and design. It is presented by Great Gulf and produced by the City of Toronto in partnership with the broader community. More information and updates, including a complete list of this year’s buildings, walking tours, talks and programs will be available on May 1 at http://www.toronto.ca/doorsopen

We’ve all heard the stories in the media about unsafe and unethical behaviour in the workplace driving many employees out of work, or worse, filing a law suit against their employer. Disgruntled workers seem to be rising up to voice their discontent and shame their employers like never before. But at the end of any struggle at work, most people still need a job and just putting in time and collecting a pay cheque is not enough for many workers. Granted, people want to be valued in the workplace and make a difference there. As ethical concerns in business seem to be more apparent, could employees begin to have the upper hand at demanding who they work for, and how they participate at work? These are not just considerations that seems to occur amongst millennials. Doing what feels right for oneself and for the planet is not only a good thing for society, but working in a caring environment is also important for organizations determined to make difference. Companies with a conscious are positioning themselves in the marketplace to their advantage. And ethical companies strive to attract value-driven employees. Does your organisation set out to make a difference by serving up a healthy mix of customer service and products that are good for people and the planet? Here are some tips on how to foster a caring work environment:Make sure the people you work with love what they do and really want to be there. Then everyone has an interest in making their workplace the best place to be. When new hires arrive, gauge whether they are excited about joining your team. Foster a level of openness and trust. There can be no secrets. Senior management needs to find ways to maintain an atmosphere of “safety” where people speak their truth. Build organizations that create leaders. Allow employees to make decisions because giving the power to decide and make a difference leads to personal fulfilment for employees.
Creating a Caring Working EnvironmentBy Linda Plater
Overall, a caring environment seems to begin with strong, committed leadership that permits employees to contribute to the company in their own, special way. Understanding employees’ individual needs and allowing for differences also builds a caring foundation at work.
Highlights of Caring Workplaces In a caring workplace people:- know when and how to draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable business dealings according to an understood responsibility code.- know who their employees are, what they stand for and what’s important to the company as a whole.- focus on everyone’s positives; foster trust between and amongst fellow workers and management.- are empathic, respectful, honest and verbally appreciative in an authentic way.- build processes and systems for employee self discovery and development.- provide strong leadership opportunities because workers want to lead or be led. Do you care about your work and do you feel your fellow workers care about you? If not, you might consider moving to an organisationwith values that match your own where you can contribute, where people care about you and where you can be all that you can be.
Spring cleaning is on the minds of many people this time of year and for the musicians among us, spring is also a good time to focus on how to maintain and care for our instruments.
To begin our look at musical spring cleaning, here are several tips that apply to most instruments.
In Canada’s environment, instruments are subjected to extremes in temperature and humidity that can adversely affect tone, playability and soundness. To avoid weather related issues, follow these tips: do not leave your instrument in a car, allow your instrument to warm up before playing when it is brought inside during the winter and store your instrument in a cool, dry place.
When not in use, always keep your instrument in its case since this offers better protection than an instrument bag. Also, do not leave your instrument unattended where other people may pick it up and inadvertently damage delicate parts. Keep your instrument spotless by using a clean, dry and soft cloth to remove dust and fingerprints after each use and never use an abrasive cleaner. Also, remember to wash your hands before handling and playing your instrument. If your instrument requires repair, have it promptly done by a qualified instrument technician.
Now, let’s have a look at tips for specific types of instruments.
Woodwind instruments including the saxophone, clarinet and flute, are affected by moisture trapped inside so it’s best to swab the interior after each use. It is also advisable to clean the mouthpiece after playing. To avoid damaging the instrument’s keys, never pick it up by its keys.
Brass instruments such as the trumpet and trombone, like woodwind instruments, should be cleaned inside with a swab to remove saliva and the mouthpiece should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. It’s a good idea not to eat before playing brass and woodwind instruments.
The exterior of string instruments such as violins, violas and cellos require special attention. Polish for string instruments should be regularly applied to help prevent the wood from drying out. Also, remember to loosen your bow after playing and avoid over-tightening the strings to help prevent string breakage.
For guitarists, cleaning or dressing the fret board is important as dirt and oil from your hands can accumulate on the fret board and affect the strings. Soapy water and a soft brush are good to use for this purpose as well as a soft cloth to thoroughly dry the fret board after cleaning. Also, wipe down the neck of your guitar after you play to remove dirt and oil. You should regularly clean the metal parts of your guitar with a cleaning product made for this purpose. Lastly, always place your guitar in its case or on a stand rather than lean it against the wall or amplifier when you are not playing.
Pianos and keyboards don’t need as much attention as some other instruments however it is important to protect the keys by covering them when not in use. A soft, dry cloth should be used to remove dust. Never place drinks on the instrument. Regular tuning of pianos is also important.
So, with a musical spring cleaning and ongoing maintenance, your instrument, like your home, will provide you with many years of enjoyment.

Jane’s Walk, the annual festival of free, community-led walking tours inspired by urban planning pioneer and activist Jane Jacobs, returns to the Village of Islington on May 5th and 6th. Jane’s Walks celebrate the diverse communities and neighbourhoods of the GTA by encouraging people to people to tell stories about their communities, explore their cities, and connect with neighbours. “Anyone can lead a walk because everyone is an expert in their own neighbourhoods,” says Alia Scanlon, Jane’s Walk’s Executive Director. “Leading a walk is an opportunity to share and hear stories about the places and issues you care about.” To learn more about leading a Jane’s Walk, visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/562940924066030/about/. Our BIA Jane’s Walk Leaders, will reprise their popular Art Walk on Saturday and Sunday. The Art Walk takes approximately 90 minutes, and leads participants past 26 murals that tell the story of the neighbourhood and span the 5 blocks of Dundas Street between Kipling and Islington Avenues. The majority of the murals were painted by John Kuna, as part of a project that began in 2004 and was initiated by the Village of Islington BIA. More information can be found about the project on the Village of Islington website: www.villageofislington.com

Tribute to Jerry Howarth - A Boy of SummerBy Terry Reardon
This February, after 36 years as the Voice of the Toronto Blue Jays, Jerry
Howarth announced with great sadness that he was retiring due to ill
health.
The much loved announcer was born on March 12, 1946 in York, Pennsylvania
and grew up in San Francisco. After earning a degree in economics and serving
two years in the U.S. Army, he commenced his true vocation by calling play-by-
play action for the Tacoma Twins baseball team.
At the end of several stints announcing minor league games, Howarth moved
to Toronto in 1981 to join the Blue Jays, and the following year he joined Tom
Cheek as a full-time radio announcer. The two were together for 23 years until
Cheek passed away in 2005. Jerry was fortunate to experience the Jays turn the
corner as the early 80’s saw the perennial losing team experience its first winning
season in 1983. From 1985 until 1993, it then became a powerhouse, winning
five divisional championships, culminating in back-to-back World Series wins in
1992 and 1993.
An interesting diplomatic dilemma occurred with the 1992 victory since
historically the US President calls the winning team with congratulations as
prior to that time the winners had always been Americans. So... what to do?!
The answer was P.M. Brian Mulroney called first and President George H. W. Bush
called second - calamity averted!
After the memorable achievements in the 90s the team floundered, and failed
to qualify for the playoffs for 21 consecutive seasons. Then, as all Blue Jay fans
know, in 2015 they won the AL East Division Series, although losing to the
Kansas City Royals in six games, and the following year they again were East
Division Series winners, although they eventually lost to the Cleveland Indians
in five games.
Jerry was ahead of his time in recognizing expressions offensive to First Nations
people, and in 1992 he quietly took a vow not to use nicknames such as Braves
(Atlanta) and the Indians (Cleveland).
Jerry became a Canadian Citizen in 1994, and in 2000 he was inducted into the
Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame. His talents were not confined to baseball, as he
was also a basketball coach at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute, and active in fund
raising on behalf of the Special Olympics.
The Blue Jays first home game is always a special event, but this year on March
29, against the New York Yankees, there was something different - the absence
of a familiar and much loved voice. Toronto thanks Jerry Howarth for his great
contribution to the Jays. He will always be considered an honorary boy of
summer.

Spring Cleaning: Hygiene for HealthBy Dr. Janet McKenzie, ND
Spring is a time when many people traditionally give their homes a thorough cleaning. Practicing good hygiene personally and in your home has several health benefits. Spring is a great time to make sure your hygiene practices are working for your benefit all year long.
Handwashing is one of the top practices contributing to public health. It’s as high on the list as antibiotics and access to clean water and toilet facilities.
Handwashing is so important that the World Health Organization ran a program to promote it last year. While SAVE LIVES: Clean Your Hands targets healthcare workers, who are prompted to use good handwashing practices as a measure to prevent antibiotic resistance, the message is relevant to everyone.
Whereas the WHO focused their program on healthcare workers, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States focus their program on the public. In their section on Publications, Data and Statistics in the Clean Hands Save Lives program, over 60 pieces of research are cited referencing the health benefits of hand hygiene.
No doubt you are aware of how to wash your hands thoroughly but here’s a quick review:
• Wet your hands with running water. Turn off the tap and lather your hands with soap.
• Make sure the lather reaches the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
• Sing or hum the Happy Birthday song twice. That’s about 20 seconds worth of scrubbing and that is how long it takes to effectively clean your hands.
• Rinse thoroughly under running water and air dry or use a clean towel.
Wash your hands before eating, after sneezing, coughing or using the toilet, after touching pets or handling garbage. When in doubt, wash! Hand sanitizers are not as effective, but fine to use when hand washing is not feasible. Make sure the hand sanitizer contains at least 60% alcohol.
Oral hygiene is the next item on our personal spring cleaning update. You know about the overall importance of good oral hygiene, but did you know about the connection between gum health and heart disease?
In a dentistry journal article published last year entitled Oral Health Equals Total Health: A Brief Review, Dr. Adrian Yap states “Research has indicated that poor oral health may be associated with medical conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases.”
In Infection and Cardiovascular Disease: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study published in 2017, periodontal disease was tied to increased risk of thromboembolism and cardiovascular disease.
What does it take to have good oral health? Twice daily brushing and flossing, at a minimum. Your dentist may recommend practices and products to reduce bacterial plaque and counter medication side effects such as dry mouth, which can contribute to cavities and gum disease.
Oral brushing should take at least two minutes and should include the gums and tongue as well as the teeth. Book an appointment with your dental hygienist if you think you need to “brush up” on your technique.
The final focus of this hygiene report is safe food handling. The four most important steps are:
• Cleaning – wash your hands before and after handling ingredients, and clean food preparation surfaces often.
• Separating – keep surfaces used to prepare meats separate from those used for other ingredients.
• Cooking – cook to the right internal temperature for safety. If you are not sure what the temperature should be, you can check at Health Canada: Safe Food Handling in the Home (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/general-food-safety-tips/safe-food-handling-home.html)
• Chilling – don’t leave foods unrefrigerated for extended periods.
Safe food handling techniques are the primary means of preventing food-borne illnesses.
Take spring cleaning to heart by ensuring your handwashing, oral hygiene and food handling practices meet the standards that will keep you healthy all year, for many years to come.

insurance. Spring is the perfect time to make sure you have the right coverage for your needs, at the best rate. Here are some things you should consider before you purchase coverage: • Increase your deductible. A deductible is the amount you agree to pay toward the total amount of a loss: your share of the claim. The higher your deductible, the lower your premium. • Install a monitored home security system. Not only will this protect your family and prevent claims, but you can also save up to 10% on your home insurance premium. • Install a backflow prevention device. Flooded basements are the most common claim today, especially with more frequent storm events. This inexpensive device prevents most problems associated with sudden water buildup and could reduce your premium. • Consider your heating source. Homes that depend on heating oil or solid fuels pose a significant claims risk and are charged higher premiums. Switching to natural gas or electric heat is safer, cleaner and more economical. If you use wood heat, have your appliance installed/inspected by WETT-certified technicians. • Buy all coverage through one insurance company. Whether its auto insurance, business insurance or life insurance, your provider/advisor is most likely to have discounts available if you purchase other insurance products with them. • Schedule a review with your insurance provider/advisor. Your representatives will be able to update your file with any and all updates in your home and ensure that you are receiving all applicable discounts.

Home insurance: what’s involved? Home insurance rates are on the rise across Canada. While the frequency of claims has only gone up slightly, their severity is increasing at an unprecedented rate. There are several sources of general increases that contribute to the cost of your home insurance:
• The cost of building materials and labour• The frequency of large weather-related disasters• The cleanup costs of oil heating spills• The value of Canadian homes and personal contents How are home insurance rates calculated?
The factors used to determine your home insurance premium are specific to your individual situation and may include:
• the age, size and features of your home• the materials used to construct your home• the estimated cost of reconstruction• the location of your property• your previous property claims history• your home’s heating system• the crime rate in your neighbourhood• the value of your personal belongings• how close you live to a fire hydrant and fire station• your credit score (where applicable)• the type of home coverage and deductible you choose• any applicable discounts How to save money on your home insurance
You may be surprised by how easy it is to start saving money on your home
