Connecting with the community has been the first order of business for 55 Division’s new commander-in-chief Supt.

Barbara McLean.

Just two months on the job, she’s already attended numerous community events including the Canada Day festivities at Riverdale Park, the Beaches International Jazz Festival and the launch event for this weekend’s Festival of South Asia, to name a few.

“I’ve been spending my time trying to get to know the who’s who in our neighbourhoods and I’ve met some fascinating people,” said McLean, who started at 55 Division June 16.

“There are a lot of community builders and people who really care about the area and my goal is to continue that investment and engagement.

When people know each other they work better together.”

McLean replaces Supt. Peter Yuen, who recently transferred to the Divisional Police Support Unit, which takes care of liaison officers, the TAVIS (Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy) unit and transit officers among other things. >>>PROPERTY, page 11

The Bazaar Bizarre Streetcar coming to Festival of South Asia

“

JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Those attending this year’s Festival of South Asia will be treated to two interactive art installations courtesy of The Bazaar Bizarre Collective, a collaboration between Torontobased artists Rob Elliott and Andrew Horne.

The most eye-catching piece is called The Bazaar Bizarre Streetcar, a colourful, 15-foot-long likeness of a TTC streetcar made of plastic and wood that features an eclectic assortment of cartoon “passengers” and a gaggle of roof-top squatters such as skunks, raccoons, pigeons and opossums as well as tigers, leopards, peacocks and cows to name a few. The Red Rocket’s driver is a giant, smiling cat dressed in the semblance of a TTC uniform.

“It’s sort of a representation of the integration of the South Asian culture within the GTA,” said Horne, a former Little India-area resident who two years ago opened up Flying Pony café, bakery and art gallery at the southwest corner of Gerrard Street East and Rhodes Avenue.

“It also represents the changes coming to the Gerrard India Bazaar

with lots of new residents, families and businesses.”

The moveable, illuminated piece – a three-quarter scale version of the TTC’s familiar CLRV streetcar – is inspired by Toronto’s obsession with all things transit, notably the 506

We’re all about making art accessible to people. We believe that’s part of the fun.

– Rob Elliott

streetcar route that runs along Gerrard Street East.

Accompanied by an assortment of South Asian-inspired musicians led by Little India-area resident/ parade marshal Jason Kenemy, the whimsical installation will be winding its way across Gerrard Street East from Coxwell to Glenside avenues throughout the two-day festival.

Audience participation is welcome and encouraged.

On Saturday, The Bazaar Bizarre Streetcar parade will begin with a musical performance at 3 p.m.

Members of the Gerrard India Bazaar Business Improvement Area and local politicians are expected to be in attendance.

The first westward leg from Coxwell to Ashdale avenues will get underway around 5 p.m. and will feature drumming by Dhol Circle.

The second part of the parade from Ashdale to Glenside avenues is set for 7:30 p.m.

The piece will then be rolled back eastward starting around 9 p.m. in preparation for Sunday’s two-part parade, which is expected to start at 3 p.m. and head back eastward around 6 p.m.

Elliott and Horne have also designed and crafted a secondary art element for this year’s Festival of South Asia: a 14-foot-tall tower featuring a large tiger cartoon, hand painted with henna, marigolds and other south Asian designs. This artwork will serve as the anchor for the festival’s new South Asian-themed Artisans’ Bazaar along Gerrard Street East, east of Rhodes Avenue.

“It was a lot of fun to conceptualize these projects. We’d like to issue a special invite to Mayor John Tory to check out our streetcar,” Elliott said.

Together with Horne, he’s been sketching ideas and planning and discussing the installations for a few months. They even built a smallscale model of the streetcar for people to check out at the festival’s launch in late July.

“We’re hoping these projects help

get even more people involved next year. Ideas are already flowing for next year’s festival,” Ellliott said.

The Bazaar Bizarre Collective was created more than a year ago with the goal of bringing more visual art to the community.

“We’re all about making art accessible to people. We believe that’s part of the fun,” said Elliott, whose artwork has appeared in the Nuit Blanche and the Strutt Wearable Art Show in St. Catharine’s, ON. Horne said the collective is all about breathing a little new life, unique interest and vibrancy to the Festival of South Asia.

“It gives us a platform to expose (art) to thousands of people. We want people to have something to engage with when they come to the festival,” he said.

The collective’s first art installation, called The Bizarre Tower was prominently featured during last August’s festival.

The Festival of South Asia is sponsored by TD Bank Group and sponsored by Metroland Media Toronto.

Choreographer Susie Burpee hits the stage in two festivals this weekend JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Four-year Pocket resident Susie Burpee is gearing up for a busy weekend of dance.

A DORA Award-winning choreographer and contemporary dancer, Burpee has choreographed and will perform in made in canada/fait au canada festival at the Betty Oliphant Theatre, 404 Jarvis St. She was selected by lottery to take part in the festival’s What You See Is What You Get series, which runs Friday at 11 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

“I applied to be in the lottery over a year ago and I learned I was selected in the late winter/early spring,” said Burbee, who said she enjoys creating and performing character-driven works.

canada, Burpee will be performing a 10-minute-long solo piece called Spirit and Veneer: A Fine Feather’s

Fable of a Soul in Flight.

“Sometimes I joke it’s a glorified lip sync, but it has some surprises

as well,” she said.

“The character I work with has some bird-like qualities.”

Burpee came up with the character some time ago and has used it in previous works.

“I decided to revisit this character and expand it to see what she has to say now,” said Burpee. “It’s been a fun process.”

Visit www.princessproductions. ca for tickets.

This weekend, Burpee will also be performing in the Summerworks Performance Festival at Theatre Passe Muraille, near Queen and Bathurst streets, on Friday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m.

She’ll be staging a 15-minute-long solo piece called On Being Prepared.

The number is part of a double bill, which also features a work called Psychic Choreography by fellow dance artist Brandy Leary.

Burpee’s piece is described as part essay, part dance.

The work draws its inspiration from the experimental music concept of prepared instrumentation, where sound is modified by placing objects on or between parts of the instrument.

A story about the unpredictable effects of change, On Being Prepared features a dancer in a state of change attempting to answer the question via performance.

Visit http://summerworks. ca/2015/artists/on-being-prepared for tickets.

Burpee is a full-time dance artist, working on a range of independent contracts and projects and also teaches professional-level contemporary dance classes.

City of Toronto

Pay attention to federal campaign

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

A

federal election. Oh yes, almost forgot, didn’t you?

It was an unusual (some would say cynical) move by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to drop the writ in the middle of the August long weekend – effectively extending the official campaign up to the Oct. 19 voting day by another few weeks.

It’s understandably challenging, with weeks left in summer, for voters to begin pondering their choices.

Moreso, even with a number of candidates already declared, the official cut-off date for nominations doesn’t arrive until late September.

But here we are. For better or worse, the campaign is on.

And for Toronto, in the midst of the typical rhetoric, mud-slinging and sloganeering that comes with any election campaign, residents must take a hard look at what the candidates and their parties vow to do for this city. Twenty-five of the our view 338 members of Parliament will be coming from Toronto. That’s a percentage – regardSpeak loudly significant less of party affiliation of its memon Toronto’s bers, Toronto’s representatives need to be vocal about the city’s priorities needs.

So for residents, it’s worth paying attention to the campaign. For candidates, it’s worth crafting thoughtful, evidence-based platforms to address ongoing challenges the city faces. Hint: Transit comes to mind.

This election will see a number of changes.

Particularly downtown and in the north and eastern parts of the city, there are a number of boundary changes.

This is brought about in part by the creation of new ridings including Don Valley North in North York, and Scarborough-Rouge Park and Scarborough North in Scarborough; Trinity-Spadina, downtown, has been replaced with University-Rosedale and Spadina-Fort York.

Once a Liberal bastion federally, the city in 2011 saw a healthy mix of Liberal, NDP and Conservative candidates elected. It will be interesting to see if that trend continues.

According to statistics from Elections Canada, the voter turnout in 2011 was 61.1 per cent, up from the historic low of 58.8 per cent in 2008, but still one of the lower voter turnouts in Canadian federal election history. That number needs to be higher.

It may be the dog days of summer. There may be other things on your mind. Just remember that this is already ongoing.

column

OK...Blue Jays...let’s – talk – noise!

When long-time Blue Jays radio announcer Jerry Howarth is calling a game, the moment the Jays start putting runs up on the board he gleefully exudes: “The Blue Jays are in flight.”

Well, if he were commenting on the reaction of Jays fans to seeing the explosive firepower of the American League’s highest scoring team, “in flight” doesn’t go far enough. “In orbit” is more like it.

And it’s not just runs that are igniting fan response lift off. Great plays in the field do it, too. So do stolen bases, strikeouts of an opposing batter, bullpen saves, walks, balks, you name it. Heck, fans are even going gaga over simple player introductions.

Take the ones for fivetime all-stars, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and pitching ace David Price, who were recently acquired within 48 hours of each other just prior to the trade deadline.

When they simply made their first appearance at the

jamie wayne guest column plate and on the mound respectively, the Rogers Centre crowd erupted.

My how times have changed, eh? Back in August 1992, prior to the Jays’ first World Series title, Dave Winfield made an impassioned plea to the oftdescribed reserved – as in audibly restrained – fan base to make noise. The 2015 version now screams at the drop of a hat. Or bat. Likely a rosin bag, too, the way things are going.

The players are impressed and humbly appreciative.

Price said it’s the best crowd he’s ever experienced.

Reliever Mark Lowe, who just came over from the Seattle Mariners, knows first-hand that when the Jays play in Seattle, Jays fans out-scream the locals.

While the decibel level around here has been

higher since the trade deadline acquisitions that also included left-fielder Ben Revere and reliever LaTroy Hawkins, the crowd has been rocking since the preseason began.

Off-season pickup catcher Russell Martin was the recipient of several standing ovations in Montreal during a two-game exhibition series with the Cincinnati Reds. The other big name off-season addition, third baseman Josh Donaldson, for whom the crowd now chants “M-V-P”, has repeatedly brought the audience to its feet since opening day.

The dazzling highlightreel catches by centre fielder Kevin Pillar have inspired the same mania, as have the slick defensive gems by second baseman Ryan Goins. The timely slugging of Chris Colabello and Justin Smoak has also not gone unnoticed. Nor has the inning-eating dependability of hurlers Mark Buehrle, R.A. Dickey and Marco Estrada.

The youthful relieving tandem of 23-year-old set-up man Aaron Sanchez and 20-year-old closer Roberto Osuna are also making hearts and vocal chords go pit-a-pat.

When you add stalwarts Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion into the mix, it’s apparent there is something special going on.

And this fandemonium is all just for the regular season. Imagine what the joint will sound like if they make it to the World Series.

So, Dave Winfield, if you’re reading this and you’re coming to the Rogers Centre for the sold-out series with the Yankees this weekend, a word of warning.

I wouldn’t bring my noise meter along, unless you’ve got a really good device insurance plan.

OBITUARY

W h e n t h e i r ga m e s e n d, ours begin.

The Pan Am and Parapan Am Games leave behind community programs and new facilities. Like the Milton Velodrome, where people of all ages can get on the fast track. Literally.

TV personality Chris Hyndman ‘had a profound influence and impact’ JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Nine-year Riverside resident and TV personality Christopher Edward Hyndman is being remembered as someone who found beauty everywhere.

“In the perfume of ocean air, in the cut of a suit, the construction of a high Louboutin heel, the harmonious design of a room or a simple meal prepared from scratch by Steven (Sabados, his longtime partner and cohost),” an obituary, published Tuesday in The Toronto Star and The Globe and Mail, read.

“Those who knew him best understood these truths.”

Described as a “cherished beautiful boy” by his family members and friends, 49-year-old Hyndman – who co-hosted CBC’s daytime TV show Steven and Chris – was known for his charisma, curiosity, wicked wit and dazzling smile, which the obituary said “lit up rooms” and “elevated heavy hearts.”

Together with Sabados – with whom he shared “an extraordinary 27-year adventure of laughter, fun, professional success, but above all else, a magical unbending love” – Hyndman “had a profound influence and impact on so many.”

“Christopher was always seeking to understand

A public celebration of Chris Hyndman’s life will be held at a later date. His partner Steven Sabados, left, said in a statement the two ‘built a beautiful life together.’

better the complexities of our human existence,” the obituary said.

“Nothing gave him greater pleasure than knowing he had, in some way, shifted someone’s life for the better, changed a rigid point of view, or showed a struggling teenager in a remote town somewhere in Canada that being LGBTQ was cause for celebration and pride.”

A public celebration of Hyndman’s life is in the works. A date has yet to be announced.

Those wishing to make a donation in his honour are asked to contribute to Leslieville’s Red Door Family Shelter or the Tommy Sexton Shelter, a short-term residence/shelter that provides supportive programs and

services aimed at preventing HIV/AIDS. O n Mo n d a y, Au g . 3 , Hyndman’s body was discovered in a laneway adjacent to a condo building at 68 Broadview Ave. Police have not released details about the incident, except to say their investigation is open. They have said they do not suspect anything suspicious or criminal occurred.

Late last week, Sabados issued a statement thanking everyone for their support and requesting privacy. Sabados said he and Hyndman “built a beautiful life together.”

Property crime, traffic issues priority for 55 division superintendent >>>from page 1 McLean has been with the Toronto Police Service (TPS) for 25 years, working her way up from constable to second in command.

McLean, who has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S., an MBA from York University and a master’s degree in human resources and industrial relations from the University of Toronto, held a number of roles at various divisions including 55, as a sergeant in 2001.

So far, she said she’s enjoying her time working in the city’s east end.

“It’s a great size division with a variety of things going on in the community,” McLean said.

She credits the team at 55 Division, especially Insp.

Greg Cole – her “right and left hand” – for helping make her transition into her new role a smooth one.

“I’m fortunate to be surrounded by talented and committed team members.

“

Every division has issues and challenges in some parts, but with the community’s involvement we can improve and resolve them.

– Barbara McLean

Staff photo/joanna lavoie

Barbara McLean is the superintendent at Toronto police 55 Division.

I’m proud to be the representative for the 55 Division family.”

McLean said a lot has changed in 55 Division since she served here, but one thing remains the same: the fabric of the community.

“People still care about each other and know their neighbours. It makes this part of the city amazing,” she said.

As the division’s new superintendent, she said one of her

priorities would be to look into issues with property crime like break-and-enters, theft of and from autos, mischief and fraud. McLean also said she’d work on addressing traffic issues in 55 Division.

She said 55 Division is home to many safe neighbourhoods, which she credits to community members being engaged and involved. She said she hopes to continue to foster those connections.

“I think (community members) make my officers’ jobs so much easier,” said McLean, urging those who live and work in 55 Division to continue being the “eyes and

ears” of the community.

“Every division has issues and challenges in some parts, but with the community’s involvement we can improve and resolve them,” said McLean, who said she intends to work in 55 Division for the long haul.

“I’ve got a history here. I’ve been here as a sergeant and I’m thoroughly enjoying this community. I do feel a huge

commitment to this community. There’s lots of things I want to see and do.”

Aside from helming 55 Division, McLean also serves as a member of Toronto Police Services’ LGBTQ community consultative committee.

In her spare time, McLean, who has lived north of the GTA for the last 15 years, enjoys bee keeping, is an avid cyclist and has recently been train-

ing for a half Ironman race.

Her intense training recently caused her to develop a stress fracture in her foot.

“I think my first formal appearance as the new superintendent was in a cast,” she laughed.

“I’m so happy the cast is finally gone.”

Canada Revenue fraud scam targeting single female seniors TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com

Buy and sell in your neighbourhood.

Toronto police are warning residents, particularly single female seniors, of a scam where perpetrators posing as Canada Revenue Agency officials call and threaten jail time unless erroneous back taxes are paid – immediately.

Toronto police fraud Const.

Cornelus Gutter said the fraudsters share personal information about their targeted victims in an attempt to appear legitimate.

But that information is easily gained from victims’ social media accounts, such as LinkedIn, facebook or Instagram, he said.

“They like to focus on elderly females,” Gutter said. “They become quite aggressive trying to back you

into forwarding them money.

They’ll say you owe Canada Revenue Agency money for unpaid taxes. They’ll threaten to send a car over to arrest you. They tell you your credit history will be destroyed.”

A big tip off – perpetrators will demand victims electronically transfer the funds or pay in prepaid credit cards – something Canada Revenue Agency would never do, Gutter said.

“Canada Revenue Agency would never request your personal information over the phone,” the veteran officer said.

“They would never ask you to get prepaid credit cards to pay overdue taxes.

They would never leave you voicemail messages with your personal information on it.”

Gutter urged anyone who receives the calls to ask the caller his or her name, office

phone number and email address.

“Then say, ‘I’m going to call you back. First, I want to talk to the police or talk to my lawyer,’” he advised.

“Watch their reaction. They’ll get very angry or they’ll just hang up.”

Most importantly, slow down on the phone and don’t commit to anything.

“They’re relying on you acting in haste,” he said.

“Call somebody. Call the police. Go to the front desk of any police station. Call your family lawyer. If you don’t want to call police or your lawyer, call a neighbour, a pastor, a friend, your son or daughter. Ask, ‘does this sound right?’

“If something seems out of place, there is a good chance, it is.”
