Neighbours of Wildwood Park can hit the books this fall with the arrival of a new Little Free Library Sept. 21.

The library is the first project of Friends of Wildwood Park, and will be entirely community run.

“You’re kind of building community around sharing resources,” said Michelle Bourdeau, who started the steering committee for Wildwood Park, which comprises of five community members, after moving into the neighbourhood about a year ago.

“It’s something that everyone can partake in,” Bourdeau said.

The Wildwood Park Little Library will be the fifth registered in the Beach-Riverdale neighbourhood, and the sixth across Toronto. There are other unregistered libraries in the city, but a map of libraries registered in North America can be found at littlefreelibrary.org “Our ward has the most little libraries in the city,” said Bourdeau, who surveyed about 50 people in the neighbourhood to find out what kinds of projects they wanted in the park. >>>WILDWOOD, page 6

Lots to look forward to in new school year

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

N

ew schools, new programs, new teachers, new classmates. There’s lots going on at both the Toronto public and Catholic school boards as the new school year begins Tuesday.

In our special feature in today’s edition, we look at what’s new in the schools.

And there’s plenty: both locally and around the city. To see our comprehensive coverage of what’s new across Toronto, visit us online at bit.ly/ TOschoolnews A number of Catholic elementary students will be starting classes in new school buildings with the openings of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati in northeast Scarborough and St. Ambrose near Dufferin and Dundas streets.

The need for a school in the recently built Scarborough neighbourhood was huge, and parents and students alike are excited about the opening.

But education is more than bricks and mortar. It’s about people and programs, of our view which there’s lots to be excited about this year.

For example, a number of Courses and Northview Heights Secondary sharing at School students will be sharing what they learned at this schools month’s Adobe Voices digital media arts summit in California.

They were the only students from Toronto to attend the summit, which featured students from 23 countries sharing art projects aimed at making social changes in areas such as bullying and cultural awareness.

Also, students at a number of schools including Blacksmith Public School will be using technology to improve their math skills by playing the computer game Prodigy.

Less high-tech, but every bit as valuable in the real world, students and their families live in, is a bicycle repair and maintenance program at Central Commerce Collegiate Institute.

At Bishop Marrocco/Thomas Merton Catholic Secondary School, new principal Derek Chen admits he has some big shoes to fill in replacing Maria Pereira. “She’s a legend,” Chen said. “I’m pretty honoured to follow in her footsteps.”

While students have all this and more to look forward to, a big part of back to school is also showing off the new fashions to classmates. With that in mind, we invite readers to enter our First day of School Contest. Send us your best first day of school photo and you could win a $250 Cadillac Fairview gift card.

Letter

Reader writes in his support for cutting councillor numbers Council absolutely needs to reduce the number of politicians.

Politicians want to expand for more job security.

Taxpayers are looking to survive the constant barrage of regulations and increasing financial burdens, so politicians can enjoy their higher pays and job security.

By the way, we moved to Toronto from Florida and found you can’t wash your car in your driveway or the street.

I wonder which politician got paid by the car wash industry to push such nonsense.

Statue of Jack Layton unveiled at ferry terminal REBECCA FIELD rfield@metroland.com Torontonians honoured the two-year anniversary of the death of former federal NDP leader Jack Layton with the official renaming ceremony of the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal.

A bronze statue of Jack Layton sitting on the back seat of a tandem bicycle, inviting Torontonians to take the front seat, was unveiled at last Thursday’s event.

MP Olivia Chow (TrinitySpadina), Layton’s widow, made a speech at the event, along with Jack’s son, Ward 19 Trinity-Spadina Councillor Mike Layton, Mayor Rob Ford and Ward 28 Toronto Centre-Rosedale Councillor Pam McConnell.

LIFETIME OF MEMORIES “The Toronto island is truly a magical place,” said Chow tearfully as she spoke about the lifetime of memories the family had together on the islands – starting with her marriage to Jack where an ash tree now stands.

“We watched the sunset, ran with the kids, played, partied and enjoyed the deep friendship with our islander friends,” said Chow, who noted the tandem bicycle they rode not only across the island together, but across the city together, was their wedding present to each other.

“I was the back (rider). I got Jack’s back,” Chow said. “Now he has your back.”

The bronze statue sits in

“

A tandem bike requires co-operation.

That’s how he lived his life: he worked hard, he co-operated with others in his job, and he had fun doing it.

– Councillor Mike Layton, son of Jack Layton

the park surrounding the ferry terminal that the city plans to continue beautifying after last week’s naming.

It was created by artist David Pelletier.

“It’s a great thing about the tandem bicycle, because it’s faster than regular, because when you’re together, you’re stronger, you’re faster, you move forward – just like a community,” Chow said.

“Together, you support each other – just like a community.”

CO-OPERATION AND FUN Mike Layton spoke about taking tandem bike rides with his father frequently, including across Ontario’s roads after delivering his sister, Sarah Layton, off to camp one year.

“We covered a lot of ground on that bike, he kept us steady on course,” said Mike.

“A tandem bike requires co-operation. That’s how he lived his life: he worked hard, he co-operated with others in his job, and he had fun doing it.”

Mike thanked the Toronto community for the support the Layton family had been given since his father died two years ago, and he said he hoped the statue would give others a chance to share and appreciate Jack’s optimism.

Ford made a short speech, remembering the mentorship Jack provided him at the start of his political career in Toronto, despite their different political leanings. “(He said) ‘Rob, never take things personally – it’s politics.’ – I’m still trying to learn that,” Ford joked.

“This dedication is Toronto’s way of saying thank you. Thank you Jack Layton for the life you lived,” said Ford, who noted the terminal saw more than one million ferry riders in 2012.

GATEWAY TO ISLANDS McConnell acted as MC for the Aug. 22 event, listing off Jack’s involvement in advocating to keep the Island School open and preserving the ports.

“The islands were one of his favourite places in the city. It was where he found tranquility, where he was re-energized, it is where he and Olivia were married,” McConnell said.

“The goal of all of this is to remake this into a beautiful gateway to a magical place.”

CONSUMER FEATURE

Back to school – steps to your child’s success Advice from CCAC can ease your child’s anxiety and stress about the first week of school The first weeks of a new school year can be both exciting and daunting: new teachers and classmates, bigger classrooms, new routines, more schoolwork - these can all contribute to feelings of insecurity and uncertainty.

This can be an especially anxiety-ridden time for those changing schools, or making the move from elementary school to high school or onwards, and can negatively affect your child’s mental health.

Schools are at the forefront of dealing with mental health and addictions issues experienced by children and youth.

A team of specialized mental health and addictions nurses at Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) work in Toronto’s schools to provide advice, consultation and education on mental health issues. Here are some tips to de-stress students returning to school: • Remember: mental health is just as important as physical health • Sleep well and eat well-balanced meals: this is a foundation every child needs • For younger children, es-

Keep the lines of communication open with your child when it comes to their fears about the upcoming school year.

tablish a “back to school” routine around wake-up time, bedtime, and meals before school starts • Parents, be positive: children take cues from you.

Your excitement and confidence about the upcoming school year will spread • Communication is key! Ask your children about fears and concerns about the new school year. Listen. Check in often and show support.

• What can increase comfort levels during the first week back: help your child figure out their new bus or subway route; take your younger child on a walk around their school, pointing out their classes – these will all help them feel more confident about

their new environment • Emotions magnify – parents can support children through feelings of fear, anxiety, or uncertainty, and they won’t find them so overwhelming. Make sure your child knows they are not alone.

• Encourage your child to build friendships Back to school stress and anxiety are normal for students, and usually they pass within the first few days or weeks. If your child continues to seem anxious or stressed, or displays unusual behavioral changes, it may be time to seek the assistance of a mental health professional.

Wildwood library start of community hub

Join us online at toronto.ca/bbtca_review to get more information or download and complete an online survey.

>>>from page 1 “A little library was pretty high up.”

The group put out a call for volunteers to build the library, and got a response within 24 hours from community members Michelle Aarts and her husband Rob. “(It’s) a huge task for someone to do in such a short amount of time,” Bourdeau said. “She said her and her husband are very crafty people. They’ve done work like this before.”

The library will have two shelves, one for children’s books and another for adults.

It will be curated by a local community member, Norma Ozard, who has lived across the street from the park for almost 40 years.

“I think the community concept of people sharing books for the joy and pleasure of reading and sharing something you’ve enjoyed with others is just a beautiful thing, and just the cooperation is a very kind thing in a community,” said Ozard, who was a teacher at Wilkinson Public School for 40 years.

Attend one of two workshops to talk with City staff and technical consultants and share your ideas:

Specific issues to be considered include: • • • • • •

“I’m a retired teacher and I just love literacy on any level,” Ozard said. “I have a bit of time. I can make sure it stays nice.”

Ozard will make sure the books are in good condition and that there’s no overflow.

“Our little neighbourhoods are pretty precious. It’s fun to

see a new generation taking an interest again,” said Ozard, who rallied with her husband and other community members more than 20 years ago to have Wildwood Park put in when the city planned to sell it to a townhouse developer.

“I just say ‘bravo’ to Michelle and the other people in the community who have come on board just because,” Ozard said.

Other projects Friends of Wildwood Park have planned include a community board that will go up beside the Little Library to keep neighbours informed of community happenings.

“We’re trying to create around the library a meet-up hub,” Bourdeau said. “We want it to be a place where people can stay engaged in the park.”

They’re also planning a water station for the dog park, an adopt-a-tree program and more benches and refurbished pathways.

Proposed new TTC unicausing a stir wforms Controversy erupted last week when TTC workers rejected a proposed uniform re-design resembling the colours of the Montreal Canadiens.

The outcry was so much it led TTC CEO Andy Byford to say in a statement that a posted picture of a blue, red and white striped golf shirt was only a “proposal” and no

final choice has been made.

Byford said he preferred a “predominantly” blue uniform, a colour deeply associated with the Canadiens’ arch-rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Whatever the design, TTC workers are scheduled to wear the new duds beginning in 2014.

It could be as simple as a puppy-centric wading pool or as elaborate as bleachers and features built around a dog oasis. Either way, Krystine May is hoping a petition she started will convince the city to build Toronto’s first water feature for dogs.

May, who lives near Trinity Bellwoods Park, is the owner of two French bulldogs, Tank, 5, and Pepper, 3. She also owns a clothing company specializing in dog and children’s outerwear, inspired by her pups, and said she is ingrained in the urban dog owners scene in Toronto’s downtown.

She often takes her dogs to the off-leash area in Trinity Bellwoods Park.

“When we had the heat wave this summer, there was nowhere for me to take them to cool them down,” May said.

“Sure I can hose them down in my backyard, but I thought it would be really nice to be able to go to a park and let them splash around in a pool, just like kids would.”

The more May started to talk to people in her community about it, the more she felt others also thought a water feature for dogs would be a good idea.

Trinity Bellwoods Park has a rather large and well-used offleash area in a recessed area of the park known as the “dog bowl”, which May said she believes is the perfect place to house a water feature, such as a wading pool, just for dogs.

Currently there are no

water features in any parks in Toronto designed, or dedicated, for dog use, May said.

Ed Wugalter, chair of the K9 committee in High Park, said a dog water feature is something dog owners would love, provided it is sanitary.

“It would need continuous circulation of water,” Wugalter said. “These pools or bowls can get filthy in very short periods and can become hazardous to dogs’ health.”

Dogs are not permitted to go into any kind of pools or wading pools currently in Toronto parks.

Cherry Beach, in the Beach, has an off-leash area that extends into Lake Ontario, but it isn’t a viable option for May and others who don’t have a car.

May started a petition aimed at Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation asking them to build a water feature for dogs in Trinity Bellwoods

Park off-leash area. She also started a facebook group called Trinity Bellwoods Dog Water Park Campaign (www. facebook.com/home.php#!/ groups/188623814641880).

May has been in touch with area park and residents groups as well as Councillor Mike Layton, and May said everyone she has spoken to is receptive to the idea. “...No one I have spoken to about it has thought it was a bad idea.”

Her dreams for the off-leash area don’t end with the water feature. May said she envisions seating along the incline into the bowl for families to watch the dogs, as well as activities and dog-oriented markets and proper green bins to put dog waste. ~ with files from Lisa Rainford

SickKids researchers will soon be under one roof JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children will soon have a permanent home to call their own – one that brings the hospital’s 2,000 scientists, trainees and research staff under one roof for the first time.

The 21-storey, 750,000-square foot building at the corner of Bay and Elm streets is currently under

construction and is slated to open this fall.

Named the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning after a donor who contributed $40 million of the project’s $400 million budget, the site will amalgamate SickKids’ research staff, encouraging collaboration and discussion.

Having one facility for all SickKids scientists will free up space in the hospital for treatment and allow the

research team to move out of rented spaces in the area. More importantly, it will give the researchers a chance to share findings and complement one another’s work.

“For us, the scientists, this is the exciting part,” said Dr. Michael Salter, senior scientist of neurosciences and mental health. “We’ll be able to rapidly share our discoveries with people in other groups and other labs.”

The building will feature individual research “neighbourhoods” in six fields: brain and behaviour; organ systems and disease; patients, populations and policy; genetic and genomic medicine; cancer and stem cell biology; and molecules, cells and therapies.

A large common space overhanging Bay Street will provide fodder for discussion among scientists from different fields.

Don’t miss these, and other great deals!

“You can overhear what one group is working on so you can kind of join (the discussion),” said SickKids President and CEO Mary Jo Haddad.

Labs spaces are also open in concept and can easily be rearranged to meet the changing needs of healthcare.

i

The research centre will also feature an area where the public can come and learn about research.

>>>from page 1 League for John Oliver Real Estate, Oxford Realty and Frank Vetere’s Pizza.

The Lakehead University grad and the team he represented at the time were once victorious at the CNE Bulova fastball tournament, but he didn’t have the coveted championship watch that accompanies the title for very long.

“I had the watch for about a month and my wife put it through the (washing machine) wringer,” joked Fallis. “And that was the end of that.”

Fallis, who represented the Scarborough-based Ambassadors at the Canadian Championships in 1989, also played hardball for the Talbot Park-based Doug Laurie Team in Leaside.

He earned a contract in the Detroit Tigers farm system in Florida, but opted instead to teach high school and focus on fastball.

Thirty-year Scarborough resident, Jan Clarke, started out pitching in the Toronto playground system before moving on to the East Toronto Ladies League at Coxwell Stadium during her high school days at Eastern High

Photo/WILLIAM C. SMITH

John Fallis was recognized at the annual Players of the Past ceremony recently at the CNE.

School of Commerce.

Clarke, who attended the ceremony with a large contingent of family and friends, also played for Ted Kilpatrick, Senior People’s Credit Jewellers and Toronto Excercycle.

She later played for several Fairbanks league teams, located in the Dufferin Street and Lawrence Avenue area, and more recently with the Agincourt Seniors.

Clarke has never won a title at the CNE fastball tournament and currently plays slo-pitch with the Markham

Masters.

“I feel honoured, delighted to be a part of this...it’s great,” she said.

Etobicoke’s Peter Maik, who made his mark on the gridiron for the University of Toronto football program in the 1950s, also starred in the Beaches Men’s League and CNE fastball tournament.

Recently inducted in the coaching category of the Ringette Hall of Fame, Maik and the Randall Roy Metals squad he represented won the Bulova tournament back to back in 1964, ’65 and were finalists in ’66.

Three grand slams Another claim to fastball fame for Maik, who is now legally blind, was his achievement of three grand slams in a Molson’s sponsored tournament.

“I hit one in the semifinals and two in the championship game...Could you imagine coming up to bat with the bases loaded three times in a tournament? It was unbelievable.”

Softball/fastball organizers have recognized the accomplishments of 73 people – 47 women and 26 men.
