The community is invited to come out Saturday to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Leslieville Junior Public School.

One of the city’s oldest schools, Leslieville JPS at 254 Leslie St. will mark the milestone with a full day of activities.

The festivities will kick off at 10 a.m. with people welcome to come to the school and check out classrooms filled with photos and memorabilia from various decades.

“Everybody’s welcome to come and visit our school. We have a lot of history and I feel very privileged and honoured to be a part of it,” the school’s principal, Leasa Adams, said

earlier this week.

“Our first principal was Alexander Muir who wrote The Maple Leaf Forever song, which was basically the national anthem before O’ Canada.

Several of our students also fought in World War One and World War Two.” Starting at 1:30 p.m., historian Joanne Doucette will be giving a keynote presentation on the history of Leslieville public school.

The history of education in the area previously known as “Over the Don” between Broadview and Victoria Park avenues dates back to the 1830s.

Doucette said historical records indicate a teacher was working in the east end as early as 1837. >>>ONE-ROOM, page 15

Beach filmmaker premiers Mugshot at Hot Docs JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Beach-based filmmaker Dennis Mohr is taking a closer look at an iconic form of photography and its cultural significance in his latest documentary project, Mugshot.

The 52-minute film, shot in both Toronto and New York City, shares the personal stories of New York street artist Mark Michaelson, who has amassed more than 20,000 mug shots in his tiny SoHo apartment in the last 15 years, and charismatic Scottish writer and artist Diarmid Mogg who travels to New Castle, Pennsylvania, to unite his collection of mug shots with their families.

The documentary also introduces viewers to Isaac Cornetti, the founder of The Slammer, a southern U.S. newspaper that solely published modern day mug shots for entertainment purposes.

A small team consisting of Mohr (producer-director), Rob Ruzic (writer-editor), Charlotte Engel (executive producer-producer) and Mark Michaelson (special consultant) worked diligently for more than a year to bring the Mugshot project to light.

“It was a collaborative effort for sure,” said Mohr, crediting his “right-

“

as a broadcast technician, but also produces and directs his own films through his production company, Public Pictures.

“I’ve always had one foot in the tech side of things as well as one foot on the creative side,” he shared during a recent interview.

“Filmmaking is an elaborate hobby of mine.”

Mugshot, which was made possible thanks to the support of TVO and The Canadian Media Fund, is Mohr’s third feature documentary film and the first one he’s directed.

I’ve always had one foot in the tech side of things as well as one foot on the creative side.

– Dennis Mohr

hand man” Rob Ruzic for his amazing ability to take all of the footage gathered and transform it into an entertaining end product.

Longtime hobby Mohr, who was raised in Windsor, but has lived in the Beach for 10 years, has had an affinity for filmmaking for as long as he can remember.

He started making comedy, drama and mini documentary films when he was in the sixth grade.

Initially, Mohr studied communications at the University of Windsor, but a longing for more hands-on experience with film equipment brought him to Oakville’s Sheridan College.

After graduation, he worked for a number of production houses working on independent films, commercials, the production of video games as well as in interactive TV and new media.

Showing details Photo/AMELIA DOES

Dennis Mohr is the director/producer of, ‘Mugshot’, a feature documentary that investigates the cultural significance of the mug shot.

Some of his projects include the feature film The World of Ted Serios, Remembering Arthur, a documentary about Canadian filmmaker Arthur Lipsett (which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival in 2006) and Disclaimer: A Portrait of America, a film about the life and work of eccentric American portrait photographer, Mike Disfarmer.

Mohr currently works for the CBC

The film will have its world premiere in the Hot Docs 2014 festival Monday at 7 p.m. at the Isabel Bader Theatre, 93 Charles St. W. Additional screenings will be held Tuesday at 4 p.m. at the Isabel Bader Theatre and Saturday, May 3 at 1 p.m. at the Scotiabank Theatre (Cinema 3), 259 Richmond St. W. An accompanying art exhibition of vintage mug shots (curated by Stephen Bulger) is also set to take place at the Isabel Bader Theatre.

Time for community spring cleaning

Proudly serving the communities of The Beach • East End-Danforth Greenwood-Coxwell South Riverdale Woodbine Corridor Beach Hill

W

ith the changing season, and a sense of renewal in the air, Torontonians are heading outside to clean up their homes – and their city.

This weekend, kicking off with corporate and school cleanup day on Friday, the city will be getting a good (spring) cleaning at the hands of residents who want to make sure their city, their neighbourhood, and their own street is as pleasing as possible.

These seemingly small actions by a group of residents helps build not only a sense of pride in the neighbourhood, but also a connection between those who live in it as they undertake a common goal.

“It creates community,” said David Juliusson, program officer at Fort York National Historic Site, who is leading the cleanup of the historic site this Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon.

“A lot of people in the neighbourhood are new...

Something like this gives them a chance to meet other people.”

What started in 2001 as a our view 20-minute cleanup initiative by amalgamated Toronto’s Help the first mayor, Mel Lastman, has community all turned into a three-day city-wide cleanup where people get out of year long their homes, grab a garbage bag and get working.

The City of Toronto kicked off its annual spring cleanup campaign earlier in the month with the removal of graffiti, cleaning up garbage and hauling away debris from city property, which gathered over the winter months.

Coinciding with Earth Week (April 22 to 27), the cleanups are happening across the city – from Etobicoke to Scarborough, North York to the Beach, Parkdale to Bloor West.

Too see what cleanup projects other Toronto communities are taking on and tips on how to get involved, see our special feature at http://bit. ly/1lxd5hY Not only do these cleanups make the city look great, but they bring out residents, students, businesses, organizations and community groups – many leading the cleanups, others joining in just because they care.

These cleanup initiatives should be seen as just one of a multi-pronged approach to community building. Why not extend this kind of community exercise more often than once a year? You can find a community group / organization across the city.

Look into joining one, and make a difference in your community.

Potential for a predictable council next term is high What an upset it would be if Councillor Adam Vaughan had his hat handed to him in the federal byelection in Trinity-Spadina.

Anything is possible in politics. But in this hometurf byelection in a riding whose outgoing incumbent is busy with her own election, it’s hard to see Vaughan doing anything but winning, taking over Olivia Chow’s former riding the same way he took over her former ward in 2006.

News of Vaughan’s expected Liberal candidacy emerged last week after a meeting with Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. In the Liberal caucus, Vaughan would take the lead on cities.

No doubt he’ll also make an impression in Question Period. At city hall, Vaughan has been one of the more effective opposition councillors – asking tough questions, deflating fatuous arguments and goading the Fords and their allies into red-faced rage (by my

david nickle the city completely unscientific observations, about once a meeting).

It’s behaviour like that that has helped make the former journalist a very electable commodity in the downtown communities he represents – and less than that, across the breadth of the city – as became clear when earlier in the term he was seriously contemplating a run for mayor.

As such, his departure leaves an interestingshaped hole in Toronto Council.

It would be an exaggeration to say that Vaughan’s departure could mark a return to collegiality at the council that has become the Road-Warrior model of municipal government.

But looking at the next term, there are going to be a number of departures that might just put the ‘order’ back in Robert’s

Rules.

At least one Ford brother – Etobicoke North Councillor Doug Ford – isn’t returning for 2015.

Scarborough-Agincourt Councillor Mike Del Grande, the former budget chief whose frequent rages at disruptive behaviour at council cause almost as much disruption, is retiring.

York West Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti – he of the vote-pulling thumbs and bizarre anticommunist rhetoric – is showing every indication of coming back for now, but he’s facing a serious court hearing about his election expenses that could derail those plans.

If all those people go – well of course we’ll miss them.

The thing about outrageous characters like the aforementioned is they’re all eminently watchable, and therefore electable.

What a dull and potentially productive council

we could have at the end of 2014.

And it would be interesting to see what Vaughan can do in Ottawa. As a councillor, his reputation for a sharp tongue is matched by his track record as a deal broker – getting as many concessions as he can from the various developers looking to plant towers in the downtown neighbourhoods he represents. Vaughan has a genuine expertise, won on the ground, when it comes to urban issues.

If Vaughan does indeed win the seat, and Trudeau does indeed win enough other seats to form a government, there’s a lot he could do in pushing the federal government into taking a greater role in urban life and infrastructure.

He wouldn’t even have to be particularly nice about it.

We’ll provide the trees. You provide the green thumbs.

Last December’s ice storm caused major damage throughout Southern Ontario, leaving thousands of fallen trees across our communities. Now, we can help replace what was lost as well as do something good for the environment. Through Lowe’s “Project Replant” we’ll be giving away hundreds of starter trees. All you have to do is come to Lowe’s, pick one up and plant it.

Together, we can build a greener environment!

Key to caregiving: ‘take care of yourself’ “The most important advice is also the most difficult, and that is, ‘Take care of yourself’.”

That advice comes from Shirlee Sharkey, president and CEO of Saint Elizabeth Health Care.

“Caregivers give so much of themselves, it’s important to recharge to allow them to continue to give. Time for yourself is important. It’s time you need to be the best caregiver you can be. I would also encourage laughter and fun – even when things are challenging, try to cherish the time, and treasure the tender moments you have together,” she said.

Sharkey is among the speakers at The Caregiver Show, May 14 at The Direct Energy Centre. Visit www. caregivershow.ca for details and to register for this free

day. An estimated eight million Canadians are family caregivers. It’s not uncommon for people to care for family members or friends in short- or long-term need. In fact, it is so common we don’t tend to identify ourselves as caregivers.

The Caregiver Show has three goals: to provide caregivers with information, to provide the opportunity for caregivers to network with others in the same situation and give caregivers a chance for pampering.

Speakers at the show include: • Teepa Snow, a speaker and an occupational therapist currently working as a dementia care and dementia education specialist. She has an independent practice in North Carolina.

• D r. A m y D ’ A p r i x , co-founder of Essential Conversations Project, Inc., an organization dedicated to assisting families in having the key planning/decisionmaking discussions while honouring the emotional components.

• Sharkey from Saint Elizabeth Health Care, a leading national health care organization known for its social innovation, strong financial performance and pioneering practices.

Metroland Media Toronto is the founding producer of the show. If you know a caregiver, why not suggest this show? Presenting sponsor is Saint Elizabeth Health Care.

Sponsors include downsizingdiva.com, Alzheimer Society and Community Care Action Centre among others.

Bridgepoint health celebrates a year in its new home JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com One year ago, Bridgepoint Active Healthcare flung open the doors of its new hospital in Riverdale.

“We’ve been here a year and it’s been fantastic,” said Marian Walsh, Bridgepoint’s president and CEO, Tuesday afternoon.

“Moving into the new hospital was a big step in our ($1.2 billion) redevelopment. It’s a huge milestone.”

In the last year, Walsh said Bridgepoint has “really taken possession” of its shiny new space, filling it with 16,000 new pieces of equipment, technology and therapy tools.

The move has also included a reorganization of services, which as a result have led to three major awards: Accreditation with Exemplary Standing, Stroke Distinction, and the Ontario Health Association’s Gold Status for Quality Healthcare Workplace.

In terms of patient care, Walsh said one way the new 10-storey facility for patients with complex, chronic health conditions is far superior to what was there pre-

“

We finally have the facilities that our patients and staff deserve.

viously is the state-of-the-art rehabilitation gyms on every floor.

“This has meant that we have increased the number of patients we serve because we can do more intensive rehabilitation,” she explained, adding as a result of the new 680,000-square-foot building patient stays have decreased by 25 per cent, while the number of patients served is up by 25 per cent.

“We’ve got more patients being cared for at Bridgepoint. We have an increase in outpatient programming because of the new facility. This wasn’t available before,” she said, also pointing to the facility’s large ambulatory care centre.

Overall, Walsh said Bridgepoint’s new hospital offers so many more destinations for patient wellness and rehabilitation.

“People come here and get fully engaged in life and living,” she said.

Bridgepoint staff get a closer look at the facility’s We are One yearbook on Thursday that highlights Bridgepoint’s first year since the opening of the new, state-of-the-art building.

“From the moment patients come in here they say they feel so much more better by just being here.”

Three months after the big move, a patient survey was conducted, which found 98.5 per cent of Bridgepoint patients would recom-

mend the hospital to their family and friends.

Walsh said staff members are also feeling re-energized by being able to work in a new, modern hospital.

“It’s an inspiring and exciting place to work,” she said, noting a recent survey found 90 per cent of those working at Bridgepoint are happy with their job and place of work.

“We finally have the facilities that our patients and staff deserve,” Walsh said. “We’ve always had really good staff and really strong programming but the new facility is letting us go from good to great. … We can now see what a huge difference having a new building makes.”

More than 400 patients officially moved into the new Bridgepoint hospital on April 14, 2013.

The building’s grand opening celebration was held just over two months later on June 25, 2013.

Bridgepoint’s one-year anniversary celebration took place April 17. The festivities also included the unveiling of the We Are One yearbook.

Daily Bread’s Spring Drive ends Saturday The Daily Bread Food Bank is asking Torontonians to donate what they can for its annual Spring Drive.

Running until April 26, the goal is to meet $225,000 (equivalent to 225,000 pounds) of nutritious food.

The organization can provide $5 worth of food for a single dollar.

According to Gail Nyberg, Daily Bread’s executive director, drive is important because it helps food banks to be stocked through the summer months.

The following are priority items: Pasta and rice; dried/canned beans or lentils; canned fruit and vegetables; tomato sauce and peanut butter; baby formula and food; and canned meat/tuna and powdered milk. Residents can give by dropping off food at a participating grocery store or local fire hall.

Monetary contributions can also be made at www.dailybread.ca or by mailing a cheque to Daily Bread’s head office at 191 New Toronto St. in Etobicoke.

Toronto East General Hospital gets boost from province JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Toronto East General Hospital (TEGH) has received $19.6 million in funding from the provincial government for the planning and design of a new eight-storey, 380,000-squarefoot tower.

Ontario’s Health and Long-Term Care Minister Deb Matthews joined TEGH’s CEO Rob Devitt for the milestone announcement, which was held in a parking lot outside the Coxwell Avenue hospital April 23.

Children from the neighbouring R.H. McGregor Elementary School, who cheered enthusiastically every time the word hospital was uttered, also took part in the event.

“This is a really exciting day for your hospital. It doesn’t happen overnight: For those of you in Grade 1, we’ll be cutting the ribbon when you’re in Grade 7. That’s how long it’s going to take to do the planning and then all of the construction,” Devitt said to the children.

“It takes that amount of time because it’s such a big building and it has to be built carefully so it’s the highest quality building that we can have. It’s a big project and it’s really exciting for the neighbourhood.”

Matthews said the $19.6 million in funding brings TEGH to the next stage: construction.

“You’re going to see lots of activity on the site and you’re going to watch the hospital grow,” she said.

“So maybe you’re going to come here sometime as a patient, maybe to visit someone you love or maybe to work and it’s going to be a beautiful new hospital.”

Dubbed a “Celebration of the Future of Health Care in East Toronto”, the funding announcement, which brings the total provincial investment in TEGH to $28 million since 2007, also included photo opportunities with a large auger drill, much like the one that will be used to construct the local hospital’s new patient care tower at the corner of Coxwell and Sammon avenues.

This new building, which is set to replace the oldest building on the site, will include modern inpatient units with about 218 inpatient beds for surgery, rehabilitation, cardiac care and adult, child and adolescent mental health.

It will also have a new up-to-date space to accommodate clinics for medical, surgical and maternal, newborn and child programs as well as a state-of-the-art laboratory and diagnostic imaging facilities, not to mention green roofs and a new courtyard space adjacent to Coxwell Avenue. Preliminary construction and major planning is

“

You’re going to see lots of activity on the site and you’re going to watch the hospital grow.

– Deb Matthews

currently underway as is drilling on the grounds where the new building will be located.

Full construction is expected to begin in late 2016 with occupancy set for 2020.

This latest project is part of nearly $10 million in recent upgrades to Toronto East General Hospital, which is currently in the midst of a $300 million redevelopment project.

These renovations, which include the expansion of the emergency department, as well as the relocation and expansion of the haematology and oncology clinic, have been done with the goal of facilitating patient flow, providing greater access to treatment and improving facilities for health and safety.

“Our government is committed to growing a stronger health-care system that provides Ontarians with the right care, at the right time, in the right place. These critical changes will ensure that Toronto East General Hospital can continue to provide its patients with timely access to the highest quality health care,” Matthews said in an April 16 release.

Three films honoured at TIFF kids >>>from page 1 -bification of Grade 7 and 8 students through their obsession with and overuse of technology.

The young film directors, who were awarded a $500 prize, include Alice Irving Hughes, Grace Irving Hughes, Elizabeth Elliott, Finn Hourihan, Max Lafferty and Derrick Price.

“I was very excited when I found out we won,” said Alice Irving Hughes, who came up with the zombie concept.

Fellow team member Elizabeth Elliott said the group project was, at times, challenging but also lots of fun, especially when the film came together in the end and earned top honours at TIFF Kids.

Sekdorian, who has played guitar in a number of bands over the years, contributed his song, Bitten Tail, to the film.

And the film awards don’t stop there.

A class of 29 Grade 6 students from Bowmore’s Room 204 were awarded the TVOKids Choice award for Grades 4 to 6 for their film Spaced Out, which depicts students from Room 204 going on a journey to learn about space and all its wonders thanks to a couple of special famous Canadian guests who have been to space themselves.

Bowmore also received an honourable mention for the film New Genre in The Frederick Simpson Award for Best Film (Grade 4 to

6) category. The emerging filmmakers who contributed to this project include Samuel Pike, Nicholas Harms and Kai Korven.

These three awards are all part of the 13th annual Jump Cuts Young Filmmakers Showcase, which is open to Ontario youth in Grades 4 to 6 and Grades 7 and 8, aims to encourage young cinephiles to engage in a forum of creativity, and provide them with the opportunity to see their work on the big screen.

T h i s y e a r, B ow m o re school’s Advisory Council raised $6,000 to support storytelling and to make capturing photos and videos part of every student’s learning.

In 1864, Leslieville Public School on Leslie Street between Dundas and Gerrard streets, opened with students gathering inside a one-room clapboard covered log building.

A short time later, a new “little red brick school” building was erected on the site.

Around the turn of the century, a third more modern building was built to accommodate waves of immigration from Britain.

That school lasted until 1962 when the present building was constructed.
