Near the shores of Woodbine Beach on a beautiful Saturday last August, Tennyson Quance pushed herself up onto a paddleboard at the order of famed surfer Izzy Paskowitz.

“Tenny get up!” yelled Izzy from the water.

Her family sat watching in awe as 12-year-old Tennyson stopped wringing her hands, first feeling the water, then getting up onto all fours by herself.

This might sound like an easy accomplishment for a 12-year-old girl, but for a kid with low-functioning autism like Tennyson, letting go on the water and putting her trust in the stranger guiding her board was unheard of.

“She’s never done anything independent. Ever,” said Michelle Quance, Tennyson’s mother. Tennyson is non-verbal and depends on her parents for help with most things — such as using a fork to eat, often reverting to wringing her hands.

“We’re all sitting watching this like it’s some type of religious miracle,” laughed Michelle, who expected her daughter to stay on the board for a minute and get off. Instead, Tennyson stayed on the board for more than 40 minutes. >>>watching, page 12

Kire Paputts documents Gerrard Street East Director wants to capture his neighbourhood before gentrification takes hold Rebecca Field rfield@metroland.com A drive down Gerrard Street East shows an amalgamation of Toronto’s history – from bars like the Maple Leaf Tavern to the colourful sari shops of the Gerrard India Bazaar.

Businesses nicknamed “the kick and stab” by locals for reasons that nobody even remembers are fleeting, as shops continually go up for lease.

One local director is setting out to document the bluecollar neighbourhood before gentrification can reach the rest of his familiar childhood landmarks.

“The last few years, I’ve noticed it’s been changing quite a bit. I’m not sure if it’s for the better or worse,” said Kire Paputts, who is planning a series of short documentaries about Gerrard Street

East, which he started filming earlier this month.

“I’ve just noticed lately that about one-third of all the businesses are empty or for lease and noticing all these other things moving in like trendy cafés, which were never there,” said Paputts who grew up and lives near Gerrard Street and Coxwell Avenue.

“Like three years ago it was all kind of more divey, sketchy blue-collar, which I kind of like in a way,” he said.

This isn’t the first Toronto documentary Paputts has done. He’s recently been showing a documentary on Toronto’s punk music movement in the 1970s called The Last Pogo Jumps Again in various festivals including at Canadian Music Week in May. “I think we’ll kind of lose what is here now, so I wanted to document that before it

Kire Paputts is documenting the neighbourhood along Gerrard Street East where he grew up and still lives, before, in his opinion, it becomes gentrified over the next few years.

disappeared,” said Paputts, noting the Maple Leaf Tavern at Gerrard Street and Pape Avenue has now closed down and was sold.

“That’s been there since my dad was a kid in the neighbourhood,” said Paputts.

Paputts also mentioned that even two of the four

Coffee Time cafes in the neighbourhood have closed down recently.

“I think it (the neighbourhood) gets a bad rap in general, that people think it’s really divey. To an extent it’s kind of true, but it’s also kind of fun.”

He finds it unusual when people from the west end venture into the area.

“I like the idea of my neighbourhood kind of being a place that people don’t always come,” said Paputts. “It’s kind of like my secret little piece of the pie.”

Paputts plans on inter-

viewing both new people to the neighbourhood, as well as those he recognizes after almost 30 years of living along Gerrard Street.

“Since I’ve been filming I’ve had people come up to me,” said Paputts who studied at Ryerson University in their film arts program. “They’re really curious about what I’m filming, and it’s been really positive.”

He will be starting interviews this week just by hanging out in the neighbourhood, and he’s looking for people of all ages and backgrounds.

“I like the idea of having all different walks of life in a neighbourhood,” said Paputts. “I think you need that in a neighbourhood. It gives it some colours so it’s not just all Starbucks and galleries.”

East-end fire juggler/stilt walker coming to BuskerFest

“

rebecca field rfield@metroland.com

I love doing BuskerFest, it’s such a great place to do fun material.

Scotiabank’s BuskerFest will be showing off some east-end talent this year with characters Krazy K and Pyromeo taking the streets by stilts and fire juggling.

Kalen Davidson, who plays both characters, is one of more than 50 street performers flocking from across the globe to participate in the largest festival of its kind in North America.

BuskerFest runs from Thursday to Sunday.

“I love doing BuskerFest, it’s such a great place to do fun material,” said Davidson.

Fire show friday During the day, he will be performing a new character – Krazy K, a ringmaster on stilts – to attract kids to Scotiabank’s Buskerplay for Kids area.

At night, he takes on flame juggling as Pyromeo both in solo shows and in a big fire show Friday night with other performers in the festival.

“It’s really amazing on an international level, all of the levels of talented performers getting together

and doing a group show,” Davidson said. “It’s kind of rare. They really bring in the big talent.”

Davidson, originally from Vancouver, has been busking professionally for more than nine years, first picking up street performing as a 13-year-old, and then performing on stages before busking.

“I ran into a bunch of circus artists

who were street performers, and it kind of clicked and I started practising circus skills,” said Davidson who has performed at BuskerFest four times.

This year’s BuskerFest is taking place along Yonge Street between College and Queen street. In past, the festival took place in front of the St. Lawrence Market.

“It’s the biggest weekend for most of the variety performers in the world in a way,” Davidson said.

“It’s such a diverse audience, they’re really known for being quality.”

The funds raised by shows like the big fire show will be donated to the organization Epilepsy Toronto, a non-profit for people living with epilepsy.

“It will be good – it will have great crowds and make money for the charity as well as for ourselves,” said Davidson.

Toronto looking for seniors with seizures wEpilepsy

Are you a senior who has experienced seizures? Epilepsy Toronto wants to hear from you.

The support agency is launching a new project aimed at supporting the growing number of adults 55 plus who live with epilepsy or who have had seizures as a first step toward identifying the population’s needs and developing programs to sup-

port them.

“We want to hear from seniors who have experience with seizures,” Andrea Lagios, Epilepsy Toronto’s diversity outreach co-ordinator, said in a statement.

“It’s incredibly important that we hear from older adults living with epilepsy, especially people who started having seizures later in life, so that we can start to develop the programs now that will meet their needs in the future.”

If you’re a senior who has had at least one seizure, contact Epilepsy Toronto to share your story at 416964-9095 or email Andrea Lagios at andrea@epilepsytoronto.org One in 100 Canadians live with epilepsy.

It is the third most common brain condition affecting older adults, Epilepsy Toronto reports.

Strokes and Alzheimer’s disease are among the many causes of epilepsy.

Seizures can easily be mistaken for dementia, making epilepsy difficult to diagnose among seniors, Epilepsy Toronto stated.

Epilepsy Toronto runs and organizes BuskerFest. Vist www.toronto buskerfest.com for details about their largest fundraiser.

T

he City of Toronto’s planning department ‘officially’ kicked off a series of public outreach meetings – 16 in total – Tuesday at Nathan Phillips Square.

These information sessions are an important way to keep Torontonians engaged with their city, their neighbourhoods, and most importantly the planning decisions city hall makes on their behalf.

Dubbed Planners in Public Spaces (PiPS), these meetings will have staff addressing the public on planning matters, giving residents an opportunity to speak with those who provide council with reports on developments across the city.

Toronto planner Giulio Cescato acknowledged the public only sees them when there is a big planning meeting or on controversial develour view opments or studies.

With that knowledge, the planning department opted to give Have your Torontonians the chance to speak say on local to planning staff about both genissues to do with city planning development eral and – in the areas where the meetings are taking place – ask specific questions regarding development in that community.

On so many levels, this initiative is extremely beneficial to everyone involved: city staff can hear directly from residents, without the stresses of an official development meeting where tempers can often run high, and residents can understand some of the specifics that go into planning a neighbourhood.

Every community, every street, every neighbourhood has its own issues and challenges – North York is not the Beach, Parkdale is not Scarborough, Etobicoke is not the centre of the city, East York is not Bloor West nor is it York.

Each neighbourhood has its own experiences, its own demands for development. These meetings give residents an understanding of how a development has come to be, and why it came to be.

This creates understanding well beyond the topic at hand.

Whether it’s budget debates, the potential closing of libraries and schools, or issues with a high-rise condo proposal, meetings to learn more about any given subject are a true sign of a forward-thinking city.

Development issues are some of the least-discussed because development in any city is a good thing. No one wants to stop development, because it brings many economic and social benefits to a city.

So, we call on planning staff to continue these outreach initiatives and start planning many, many more.

Council must play fair in Ward 3 decision On Monday, Aug. 26, hopefully slightly more than a bare quorum of council will sit down to debate the question of what to do about Ward 3 Etobicoke Centre.

Although, really, debate is the wrong word to describe what will be going on.

Whenever a council seat becomes vacant mid-term, what the remaining council members are faced with is a game board.

If council is relatively stable in its support of its mayor, it’s a friendly game of canasta.

When things aren’t so stable, it’s more high-stakes poker. Maybe Survivor.

Occasionally, Russian roulette.

Ward 3 is a high-stakes game for everyone involved.

When Mayor Rob Ford lost Ward 3 Councillor Doug Holyday to the Progressive Conservatives at Queen’s Park, he lost more than a deputy mayor:

david nickle the city he lost a reliable vote.

Ford is ostensibly pushing for a byelection because he believes democracy is the best way to run a city.

But the fact that he can barely garner 23 votes on most issues he cares about must surely have banished any thoughts of saving up to $225,000 and just appointing a caretaker councillor.

Ford is really far more likely to find himself another friendly face by asking the residents of Ward 3 to elect one than he is convincing council to appoint one.

The small majority of council who routinely oppose Ford might prefer to appoint a councillor who’d be less hewn to the mayor’s hard right-wing agenda, and, indeed, that could be the game they play.

But just as Ford will have to deal with criticism that in supporting a byelection he’s squandering taxpayers’ money on a councillor who will maybe attend eight or nine council meetings before the general election, so will they have to contend with the accusation that by appointing they’re stealing a mandate from 52,000 electors who deserve a say in how their city’s governed.

Undemocratic Applying that yardstick to the question, the mayor is in the right on this one.

An appointment is essentially undemocratic. It delivers a cut-rate councillor for eight or nine meetings who arrives already beholden to the councillors who supported him or her in the appointment process.

And that debt is considerable.

The caretaker steps into a six-figure job that will either be abandoned after

eight months of lacklustre performance, or parlayed into a potentially long political career by supplying the advantage of incumbency in the next general municipal election.

Granted, one expects Ford will bring to bear his considerable knack for campaigning to help his favoured candidate win the byelection.

But that is fair play in any election.

And if a moderate or leftleaning candidate wants to take a stab at the ward Holyday has represented for decades – well, the considerable knack for campaigning that forces on the left and centre can muster can enter the game too.

That’s fine.

Because if we’re going to be playing this highstakes game, we owe it to everyone – particularly the residents of Ward 3 – to play it fair.

Jack Layton statue unveiled at ferry docks

Development to blend in with area

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

>>>from page 1 approval.”

The preliminary plans show the development spanning across Queen between Laing Street and Knox Avenue, and then back to Memory Lane.

The Queen Street front of the building will be four stories, with retail on the ground level, eventually tapering to eight stories further back from the street. Memory Lane will boast a strip of three-storey townhomes as part of the development.

“What we’re trying to do is identify a location where we can bring a project into the neighbourhood that doesn’t superimpose on it, that blends into the character of the neighbourhood,” said Doug Hochglaube, managing director at Trolleybus Development, involved with planning the project.

“The end goal is to bring life into the neighbourhood, but on a very sensitive basis.”

Residents had issues with sewage on Sears Street, as well as the height and building esthetic.

A fitting tribute was paid to late NDP leader, Toronto-Danforth MP and former councillor Jack Layton with the renaming of Toronto’s ferry docks in his honour.

The former Toronto Island Ferry Terminal officially became known as the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal today with a special celebration and statue unveiling to commemorate the event. The event also marked the two-year anniversary of Layton’s death.

Layton’s life in public office began as Toronto-Danforth councillor in 1982. He eventually moved to federal politics, taking over as leader of the NDP in 2003 and leading the party to its best showing at the federal level, winning 103 seats in the 2011 election.

He died of cancer Aug. 22, 2011 at the age of 61.

According to his son, current Trinity-Spadina Councillor Mike Layton, the renaming of the ferry docks in his father’s honour was fitting given his family’s ties to the island.

“Like a lot of folks in Toronto,

Photo/COURTESY

Olivia Chow poses with the statue that will adorn the newly renamed Jack Layton Ferry Terminal.

we spent a lot of time going to the islands,” he said. “We would love to go out to Centre Island, go stay with friends or go to the beach.”

Layton noted Toronto Island served as the family’s de facto cottage while he was growing up, though the location holds even

greater significance than that.

Jack Layton and his widow, Trinity-Spadina MP Olivia Chow, were married there in 1988 and Mike Layton married his wife, Brett Tryon, on the island last summer, a year after Jack Layton’s death.

“It’s a lovely spot to go over and

exchange vows,” Layton said.

The ferry docks will not honour Jack Layton in name only. A life-size statue of the late NDP leader sitting on the back seat of a tandem bike also adorns the site.

The sculpture, which was created

by Toronto sculptor David Pellettier and subsidized through funds raised by the Ontario Federation of Labour, is named “Jack’s got your back. Stronger Together: The Layton Memorial.” Visitors to the ferry docks will be able to hop on the front seat of the tandem bike.

During his time in office, Jack Layton was an ardent and vocal proponent of affordable housing, same-sex marriage and other forms of social justice.

Toronto council passed the motion to rename the ferry docks in June with the blessing of Layton’s family. Typical city protocol recommends public sites not be named after people until at least two years after their death, but council waived that rule at the urging of Mayor Rob Ford.

Watching miracles happen at Aloha Toronto >>>from page 1 The experience is thanks to Aloha Toronto and the Surfers Healing camp for autistic children.

The second annual weekend starts Friday with a kick-off party at Balmy Beach Club at 7 p.m. The camp runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. all weekend at Cherry Beach and includes live music, vendors and stand-up paddleboard races.

The camp was founded by Paskowitz after he took his autistic son surfing near his home in California and realized the calming benefits for his son of being out on the water.

Paskowitz travels with a team of surfers throughout the summer for Surfers Healing. Toronto became the first Canadian location to welcome Surfers Healing last summer thanks to Aloha Toronto organizer Helen Hatzis.

Hatzis volunteered for the camp for a day in California and immediately wanted to bring it north.

“I got to see, first hand, the magic of this event – kids who are non-verbal saying their first words, parents who are overcome with joy to see their kids who are literally so

I wouldn’t miss it, and I’ll support it in any way I can.”

For Tennyson’s parents, they look forward to enjoying a day among other families in the autism community, as well as watching their daughter enjoy the waves for the first time since last year’s camp.

Happy for experience

The family of Tennyson Quance, 12, watched in awe as their severely autistic daughter came alive at last year’s event. Right, Izzy Paskowitz, Tennyson and her dad Brett.

introverted and just in a shell, you know, coming out of that shell,” Hatzis said.

Last year’s camp hosted 100 children, taking a few months to get those registration numbers up. This year’s Surfers Healing camp oversold – 280 participants – in only a day.

The event is volunteer run, and each child’s day at camp is paid for through various fundraising initia-

tives including an indiegogo.com campaign and a portion from ticket sales at a Toronto Argos game.

Gudrun Hardis from WSUP Toronto, a stand-up paddleboard company, held a fundraising sunset paddle and yoga class Aug. 16, after volunteering at the event last summer.

“It was just mind-blowing, just phenomenal when you see what

happens when these children with autism go on the water,” Hardis said.

“Children that haven’t made a sound before will smile and laugh.”

WSUP Toronto will be renting out paddleboards at the event for the day for those who want to head to Cherry Beach and participate in Aloha Toronto’s non-camper events.

“It’s a whole day filled with tears.

“There’s not a lot of things Tennyson can do,” said Michelle, who noted that Surfers Healing was not only a fundraiser for research at SickKids, but also gave an activity for autistic children to participate in rather than just collecting money.

“You don’t see that very often in the autism community. I’m so happy for the experience.”

“This year hopefully Tenny will catch a big wave,” joked dad Brett Quance, who noted water is one of his daughter’s favourite things. “She loves water. It’s huge for her.”

Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the day’s events and donate money to the cause.
