A TRUE CANADIAN: Connor Foley does a trick at the Ashbridges Bay Skate Park Sunday afternoon.
Two roads in Riverdale will honour longtime east-enders, Toronto and East York Community Council has decided. The old Don Jail Roadway has been renamed in honour of the late New Democratic Party leader and MP Jack Layton, who died of cancer in August 2011. And a new road in the Bridgepoint Health subdivision will be named in honour of Riverdale band Blue Rodeo. O n Tu e s d a y, Toronto and East York Community Council unanimously approved reports recommending names for the new subdivision resulting from Jack Layton the redevelopment of Bridgepoint Health at Gerrard Street East and Broadview Avenue. The plan would see the existing Don Roadway, which connects Broadview Avenue with Gerrard Street East, renamed Jack Layton Way. Councillor Paula Fletcher called the roadway a suburban-style street in an urban environment. “This is really significant in our community, to be able to honour the late Jack Layton with a road north of the new park,” said Fletcher, referring to parkland being created just north of Gerrard Street. “This is a currently existing road. It’s a short cut, it’s a very suburban road that shortcuts from Broadview Avenue down to Gerrard and it really is a suburban road in the middle of an urban area. It will be closed and the little portion … will be a lovely urban road named after one of the most urban visionaries the city has ever known.” The new Blue Rodeo Drive will run through the current site of the Don Jail. “We’ll be replacing the prison yard with new drives,” she said.

GTA Rollergirls start Daytime Derby league in the Beach REBECCA FIELD rfield@insidetoronto.com Four wheels, fishnet stockings and ‘fresh meat’ – brought to Toronto’s east end by GTA Rollergirls. The Rollergirls are starting a daytime league – The Toronto Sirens – Jan. 28 at Jimmie Simpson Recreation Centre for women who want to strap on roller skates, a helmet, elbow and kneepads, but can’t make it out in the evening. “We’re the first group in Toronto that’s ever done a daytime derby, so we thought there might be an interest and we’re giving it a go,” said Dara Douma, the GTA Rollergirl who is leading the daytime league. Douma is a firefighter from the Beach who started playing roller derby just more than a year ago. Her odd hours for shift work left her wishing there was a league during the day, so she’s starting one instead. “Any other sport you can play in the day,” said Douma, known as ‘Triple D Stroyer’ to her teammates. “You can join a hockey team, you can join a curling team, there’s lots of stuff, but there’s no derby.” Practices will take place Mondays from noon to 1 p.m. for an eight-

Taking care in the cold weather
A
s Toronto grapples with its first significant cold snap of the season, we all must take the proper precautions to stay warm, but be ready to lend a hand to those who may need it. It’s during these cold stretches where strong community bonds are most valuable – making people aware of what services are available, protecting against safety risks and providing that sense of belonging to those at risk of feeling isolated. There’s a lot we can be doing. The city issued its first Extreme Cold Weather Alert of 2013 Monday. These alerts are called when Environment Canada predicts a coming overnight temperature of -15 C or lower without wind chill. The alert also triggers additional homeless services in the city. Getting people someplace our view warm is crucial. If you wish to help, there are opportunities to Help each volunteer your time and donate goods which can be put to good other during use. Visit www.volunteertoronto. ca to review what opportunities this cold snap are out there. Call 311 if you see someone you think needs street outreach assistance. While the issue of homelessness may not be readily apparent in your own neighbourhood, there are community-building tasks you can undertake during these times that have a significant impact. Cold weather means less outdoor interaction with our neighbours – especially those with mobility challenges. There’s nothing stopping you from paying a visit to a neighbour to check in on them and have a chat. It may be snow shovelling that’s needed or keeping walkways and stairs salted to prevent ice build-up. Interaction is an important building block of a community. Community-building exercises don’t need to take huge numbers of people and hours of planning to be successful. There’s always something we can do. Even a short conversation can help you to get getting to know your neighbours a little better and forge a stronger community bond. While some temperature relief is expected early next week and this cold snap will relent, these are prudent steps to follow. Winter is far from over, but even when the season changes getting to know the people we share a common bond with can lead to a healthier and happier community. Ultimately, at a time when interaction with our neighbours is limited by the cold temperatures, now is when we need to ensure we’re looking out for each other. newsroom

Re: ‘Time to cap the number of terms a politician is in office: reader writes,’ Jan. 17. I agree with W.D. Adamson’s call for a time cap on a politician’s terms of office, but for a different reason. Basic to a healthy democracy is an informed and experienced citizenry. Since holding political office is an integral part of educating members of a democracy, political office should be shared as much as is reasonably possible. Given that politicians are prone to develop a sense of entitlement to their public office, they clearly need legislative help to make them see when it is time to give someone else a chance to serve and learn.

Del Grande’s decision a bitter cap to budget process Mike Del Grande’s abbreviated tenure as Mayor Rob Ford’s first budget chief will almost certainly not be remembered the way the councillor would wish it. Del Grande quit the job last week, providing a bitter cap to council’s chaotic debate of the 2013 operating and capital budget. He went in with a chip on his shoulder, warning councillors he would likely quit the job if they made even a change to the budget he and Ford’s executive committee presented. That in itself was an unreasonable ultimatum; to ask Toronto’s divided council to leave his budget alone. If that were the only provocation, his resignation could reasonably be dismissed as a childish snit. But Del Grande’s pride sustained deeper wounds, when Ford tore a hole in
THE CITY

his budget, first voting for a motion by Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti to eliminate the budget’s two per cent property tax and, when that failed, voting to add $3.1 million to the firefighters’ budget. Del Grande had spent the past few months standing firm against firefighters’ demands. He had every reason to believe the mayor had his back. Who could blame him for resigning, when that turned out not to be the case, and in fact he had always been on his own? The reality, of course, is Del Grande was always
on his own as budget chief – often by his own design. Where past budget chiefs had divided work on the budget among their committee members, Del Grande took on much of it himself. He was often sharp with deputations, who came to complain about the cuts his budgets would impose on various programs. Earlier on, he would dig in his heels on these matters and leave it to council to sort it out. Toward the end, it was clear he took the job of balancing the city’s financial needs against its social and infrastructure needs seriously. In 2012, when the public came to depute, Del Grande grilled each one about what they wanted, and how much it would cost. The list he kept posted during the meeting seemed at first like the
kind of object lesson you’d use to teach a spendthrift teenager about household budgeting. When it came time to wrap up the budget, Del Grande emerged with a proposal, to raise property taxes a hair and restore funding to various areas of need, raised convincingly enough by deputants. It was a significant gesture, but not significant enough for the needs of council or the political needs of the mayor. In the end, it is not likely enough to solidify the story of Del Grande’s time chairing the budget committee as one of a balanced, thoughtful financial architect committed to rational budgeting for the good of all, as he might have wished. To do that would have taken the one thing he determined last week he didn’t have: time.

Former 55 division police superintendent bringing Beach experience to Etobicoke
Quan’s focus is on moving TDSB forward
TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com
FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com
The former 55 Division superintendent is taking what he did in the Beach and bringing it to Etobicoke. Supt. Frank Bergen, who became the unit commander of Toronto police’s 22 Division station on Bloor Street West in the new year, said just like in 55 Division, he plans to reinforce the attitude of positive support of his officers in their deployment, which will translate into customer service and crime prevention. “Quite often, it’s so easy for us as management to just look at response times and to have arbitrary templates of what we expect police officers to do... I would rather (officers) be comfortable to know they’re not measured on their response times and their (case) clearance (rates). They’re measured on what they’re giving and what value, the customer service,” Bergen said in a recent sit-down interview in his new office.
passion. Be empathetic. Make sure you’re listening to what (victims’) needs are and then meet them. It’s about ensuring that every opportunity you have, you add value.” Bergen said when he left 55 Division, officers were doing positive deployment, doing things together, talking internally. “If primary response, your frontline car, isn’t communicating to your investigating team, isn’t communicating to your crime management team, isn’t communicating to your domestic violence team, et cetera then you’re really just in isolation. That then becomes just an occurrence that sits. “But if that occurrence was properly dealt with through communication, there are so many parallels and other supports available to them, you really find you can light it all up and get it dealt with and move on and satisfaction goes through the roof.” Toronto Police Service is “flush” with resources that enable that communication and informationsharing among teams of officers,

Toronto police Supt. Frank Bergen is taking the approach he used at 55 Division in his new role in Etobicoke’s 22 Divison.
“I want them to be human. Assisting that victim of crime in that first interaction is so important. If we’re just arbitrary and ‘Just the facts, ma’am’ Dragnet Joe Friday, it’s one-dimensional. Show the com-
Bergen said. “If that’s the opportunity to pass on victim assistance, make sure you can manage their needs, you’re going to have a fulsome investigation. But you’re also going to have satisfaction. “You’ll also find that will spread and the community will be more comfortable calling (us).” Bergen is now in his 31st year as a Toronto police officer. He began his career at 52 Division, and returned to Toronto police headquarters downtown each time he was promoted, each time then returning to work at a police division. He has worked in the service’s employment division, at 51 Division where he was promoted to inspector, on the community mobilization and courts’ units before becoming unit commander of 55 Division in September 2011. n Supt. Elizabeth Byrnes is now unit commander of 55 division. The Mirror will be publishing her story in an upcoming issue.
With a focus on moving forward, the new chair of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) vowed to work at restoring public confidence in a system left shaken after her predecessor’s resignation as a result of a plagiarism incident. Donna Quan, who has more than 30 years of education experience, was chosen as interim director Jan. 16. Quan accepted the position after former TDSB director Chris Spence resigned Jan. 10, after admitting to plagiarizing parts of an op-ed piece he wrote for a newspaper Jan. 5. Quan, who served as the board’s deputy director for the past two and a half years, began her education career in 1983 with teaching roles in a number of elementary schools, including French immersion. Quan has held various positions within the board, including principal and families of schools superintendent. Visit insidetoronto.com for more on this story.

Those living in and around the Blake-Boultbee and Rivertowne neighbourhoods may have noticed an increased police presence in their communities in recent months. It’s all part of a citywide initiative by the Toronto Police Service ( TPS) called the Neighbourhood Safety Project, which aims to improve community safety and increase positive engagement between the police and the public. The 15-week program, essentially a continuation of the TPS’ Summer Safety Project, kicked off Oct. 15 and is set to wrap up Jan. 27. Each police division was tasked with examining its needs and coming up with a tailor-made plan that best served its residents, said Const. Rob McDonald of 55 Division’s community response unit. “Everybody is doing it a little differently,” he said, explaining in 55 Division, two teams each consisting of four constables and a sergeant were assigned to patrol the Blake-Boultbee and Rivertowne areas nightly with the aim of eradicating violent crime
and its causes. McDonald said historically the Blake-Boultbee and Rivertowne neighbourhoods have had higher instances of violent crimes and police were eager to do their part to better the situation. “We’re trying to meet the community’s needs the best way we can as a police service. Our goal is not just to chase the ‘bad g u y s’ b u t to make communities safer and connect with people,” he said. During the project, 55 Division police made several robbery and drug-related arrests in connection with the local neighbourhood safety program. They’ve also apprehended and/or identified a number of individuals wanted by Immigration Canada for being in the country illegally. At t h e e n d o f t h e 15-week campaign, each division will look at what worked, what didn’t and what the next steps should be to continue keeping communities across the city safer. People are also invited to share their thoughts on the project by filling out an online survey at http:// svy.mk/10EKuM8

The TTC will consider the feasibility of limiting the number of baby strollers allowed on its vehicles in the future. But chair Karen Stintz (Ward 16, Eglinton-Lawrence) told reporters the transit commission has no intention of reducing the number of strollers allowed, for which there is currently no limit, nor would it consider charging extra for their use. “We’ll take it back (to staff) and see if there’s anything we can do,” said Stintz at city hall Monday afternoon. At the monthly meeting, Stintz and the rest of the TTC’s board of commissioners (minus Glenn De Baeremaeker who was absent) voted to receive feedback from staff regarding the use of strollers on all vehicles, which can be a source of dissatisfaction among some commuters for their size and tendency to block seats and exits. Stintz, who said she has taken baby strollers on board TTC vehicles in the past with no argument from other riders, was surprised the issue came up during the two-hour board meeting. “I don’t have a resolution because quite frankly up until today I never considered the use of strollers to be a problem,” she said. In a five-minute deputation to the board, resident Elsa La Rosa said baby strollers are often the source of disputes between commuters. She called the presence of up to six strollers on one TTC bus a “comedy act” for riders attempting to make their way through.
An important note regarding 911: The 911 service provided by Acanac Inc. differs in a number of important ways from traditional 911 or Enhanced 911 (E911) dialing available with most traditional telephone services and has specific limitations relative to E911.

La Rosa, 61, called on the TTC to start charging riders with strollers extra fares or limiting their use at peak times. Strike a balance TTC CEO Andy Byford admitted the feedback he has received from riders and bus operators indicates baby strollers blocking seats and bus exits are becoming a growing concern. But adopting measures like those in London, U.K., for example, which limits strollers to two per bus, can create resentment among riders who would perceive operators as acting like “jobsworths”, a British term for difficult or unhelpful employees, Byford said. “It’s a tricky subject,” he said during a post-meeting
scrum with reporters. “We’re trying to strike the right balance between offering excellent customer service for everyone, but equally making sure the buses remain safe and easily accessible.” TTC commissioner Peter Milczyn said he didn’t support charging riders extra for having a baby stroller. “It’s not the kind of fully accessible system Torontonians expect if we start charging extra for strollers,” Milczyn said. “Why not buggies or big backpacks? The list could go on.” Byford said staff would not issue a formal report on the matter, but would provide feedback to be shared with the board in the next couple of months possibly in his monthly CEO’s report, which tracks service quality.

Webmasters in Seoul, South Korea, have denied Toronto bragging rights of having the best municipal website in the world. But only just. That’s according to a study by two American universities, comparing municipal websites around the world based on various criteria. The survey by Rutgers University-Newark and Kent State University found that overall, Seoul, South Korea, ranked first, and gave it top marks for design. Toronto came in second overall, but it was ranked best
in the world in terms of the content it provided. Mayor Rob Ford said in a news release he was proud of the city’s showing. “The City of Toronto is truly dedicated to providing excellent customer service along with transparency and accountability. For example, we’ve made it easy to access city hall by visiting our website that provides information about municipal programs, services, initiatives, online payment options, and online public feedback opportunities.” The survey looked at various criteria: citizen and social engagement, content, privacy, services and usability.
Toronto ranked third in usability and fifth in services. Councillor Paul Ainslie said Toronto would try to do better in those areas in the future.

NEWS IN BRIEF The Toronto Early Music Centre presents Musically Speaking on Sunday at St. David’s Anglican Church. The opening program of the 2013 series is Gothic Harpa Land featuring Katherine Hill, voice and nyckelharpa (Swedish keyed fiddle), with Julia Seager-Scott on gothic and modern harps. At the heart of this project is the
word harpa which, in Swedish, can mean both fiddle and harp. Hill and Seager-Scott, will present traditional music from Sweden, spanning the last three or four centuries. They will also play a repertoire from the turn of the 15th century, which relates both to the heyday of the gothic harp and also to the earliest evidence of the nyckelharpa in Gotland, Sweden, and Siena, Italy. On the program will be 14th and 15th century Italian music and tra-
ditional Swedish folk songs including late-medieval tunes, dances, chorales and herding music. The presentation begins at 2:30 p.m. at 49 Donlands Ave. Admission is by pay-what-you-can donation. For details, call Frank Nakashima at 416-464-7610 or visit www.torontoearlymusic.org

TEGH opens Child and Teen Clinic
SALE
SAT. JAN. 26 9 AM - 6 PM
Rebecca Field rfield@insidetoronto.com
TEGH now offers a Child and Teen clinic, which consolidates services for children in one area.
The new clinic is welcoming to youngsters, said Linda Young, director of maternal newborns and child services. “Hospitals are generally uninviting spaces for children and can be a scary place for some. When the children are comfortable, it’s easier to do assessments.”
The clinic was created with a colourful, bubble theme that appeals to children, Young said. More than 50 people and children from R.H. McGregor Public School attended the event, which took place in the colourful lobby of the new clinic.
Craft show to raise funds for TEGH A craft and knitting sale set for tomorrow is helping TEGH. Toronto East General Hospital Volunteers Services is holding a Knitting and Craft Sale Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Proceeds from this sale will be returned to the hospital in support of patient care. The event is taking place at the Toronto East General Hospital’s main lobby, 825 Coxwell Ave. For details, call Denny Petkovski 416-469-6580, ext. 2324 dpetk@tegh.on.ca

about the restaurant’s appeal for a liquor licence sent to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. Residents of 625 Queen St E., the location of the Real Jerk’s new restaurant, sent the letters, said Rob Davis – the Real Jerk’s agent – in a statement. Residents said they were told the bottom of the building was to hold a retail outlet or coffee shop and brought forward concerns of noise, hours of operation, safety and the potential for inebriated patrons at the Caribbean hub, Pottinger said earlier. This isn’t the first fight for
the restaurant. The Real Jerk restaurant moved from its longtime home at Broadview Avenue and Queen Street East in May because the building was sold. Earlier this month, Pottinger said he hopes the pre-hearing will provide a forum for unit owners to express their concerns so he may address them. “We think that it’s just a small bump in the road for us,” Pottinger said after Tuesday’s pre-hearing. “I’ve been here since this morning, so it’s a little tiring, but we’re very optimistic.”

Toronto East General Hospital cut the ribbon to open its new Child and Teen Clinic Jan. 10. The clinic consolidates the unique services for children that were previously spread out across the hospital. “This hospital is over one million square feet of space. We’ve been sending families and kids to the far corners of this organization for far too long,” said Rob Devitt, hospital president and CEO. “It really helps us better meet the needs of the community into the future.” They will host clinics from general pediatrics, cardiology, neurology, to some highly specialized programs that are unique to premature babies and infants, said Constantine Petrou, chief of pediatrics and co-director of Maternal Newborn and Child services. The clinic also has space for a stroller park to help parents with young children. “The kids have had a big 180 degree difference in their predisposition and perception of what’s going on,” said Dr. Petrou on a trial cardiology clinic held earlier this month. “They were much happier, quieter, smiling versus being fussy in the old clinics.”

Residents less likely to be screened for cancers Beach residents are less likely to get screened for cancers than the average Ontario resident. Cancer Care Ontario is hoping to change that. The Ontario government agency launched a program called Time to Screen for all residents in the province, with a particular emphasis on areas that fall below provincial averages. The campaign is a call to action to get at least 100,000 more Ontario residents screened for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer in the next six months. Women in the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), which oversees health planning for a section of Toronto that includes the Beach, East York, York and parts of North York are less likely to be screened for breast cancer than the average woman in Ontario. In 2009-’10, 67 per cent of Ontario women aged 50 to 69 had a mammography. That compares with 60 per cent of
‘There is strong evidence that screening for colorectal, breast and cervical cancers can reduce mortality.’ ~ Dr. Lisa DelGiudice women in the Toronto Central area. Women aged 50 to 74 should have a mammogram every two years, Cancer Care Ontario said. Residents in the region were also slightly less likely to be screened for cervical and colorectal cancers than the provincial average. Seventy per cent of women in Toronto Central were screened for cervical cancer in 2009-’10, compared to the provincial average of 72 per cent. Cancer Care Ontario advises women aged 21 to 70 to have a pap test to screen

for cervical cancer every two years. The provincial average for colorectal cancer screening in 2009-’10 was 52 per cent for Ontario residents aged 50 to 74, compared to 51 per cent in Toronto Central. People in that age group should be tested for colorectal cancer every two years, Cancer Care Ontario said. “There is strong evidence that screening for colorectal, breast and cervical cancers can reduce mortality,” Dr. Lisa DelGiudice, regional care primary lead for the Toronto Central LHIN’s cancer central program, said in a statement. “That’s why we have launched this call to action to encourage all Ontarians to get screened regularly.” Screening can save lives, Cancer Care Ontario said. Cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable with regular pap tests and HPV immunizations. When caught early, there is a 90 per cent chance people with colorectal cancer will be cured.
When doing your taxes this year, remember the province introduced a tax break geared toward making homes more accessible and allowing people to live independently longer. The permanent Healthy Homes Renovation Tax Credit calls for a 15 per cent tax credit on such home upgrades as ramps, grab bars, walk-in or wheel-in bathtubs or showers, lowered counters, non-slip flooring or anything else that will allow seniors to live independently in their homes longer. The credit applies to seniors or to non-seniors living with senior family members. It does not apply to landlords and cannot be used for general repairs that

do not improve the ability of seniors to live independently in their homes. It also does not apply to devices such as wheelchairs, walkers or home security, or services such as in-home care or housekeeping. The credit can be used retroactively for eligible work done as early as October 2011. Visit http://bit.ly/10RImSp for details.

The Mirror talks with Liberal leader hopeful Kathleen Wynne A f t e r P re m i e r D a l t o n McGuinty resigned his post Oct. 15, the Ontario Liberal Party announced a leadership convention, taking place this weekend, Jan. 25 to 27, at Maple Leaf Gardens. Of the six remaining candidates – Toronto Centre MPP Glen Murray recently bowed out of the race – three are from Toronto. The Mirror posed ques-
tions to each of the city’s candidates. Here are the answers from MPP Kathleen Wynne (Don Valley West). What would your priority be for Toronto? n The GTA needs smart, efficient transportation and infrastructure that works. I will build on record McGuinty Liberal investments in infra-
structure and transportation. I will champion the prosperity of the GTA by supporting increased investment in our regional transportation network, while ensuring we have a plan to pay for it. I will also champion a fairer, more inclusive society. The moral argument for poverty reduction is clear, but the economic imperative is equally compelling. That’s

why I’ll move forward with the next poverty reduction strategy and implement the social assistance review recommendations, over time.
I’ll reach out to the PCs and NDP and work to create jobs, grow the economy and invest in public services. Tell us a bit about yourself.
How would you approach the current situation with Bill 115? n Just as I did as education minister, I will sit down with our education partners to strengthen the bargaining process at both the provincial and, importantly, the local levels. We need a sustainable model for wage negotiations, a structured dialogue with our partners in the broader public sector to create innovative models for engagement and negotiation. Continued improvements in our education system are only possible if we repair the relationship with our teachers and support staff. I’m glad Bill 115 will be repealed so we can focus on developing a sustainable process within the fiscal reality. What kind of Premier would you be? n I’m running because I
D o n Va l l e y We s t M P P Kathleen Wynne
believe so deeply in bringing people together, finding common ground to achieve real results. Whatever happens in this race, on Jan. 28 we’re going to find ourselves continuing to govern in a minority parliament. We need a leader with the skills and experience to unite Ontario Liberals and then find common ground with the Opposition. In this minority parliament, we all have a responsibility to work together to get things done.
n I’m a mother of three children, Chris, Jessie and Maggie, and two granddaughters, Olivia and Claire. I grew up in Richmond Hill and have lived in north Toronto with my partner Jane for more than 25 years. I’m also a runner and I love to read! As a conflict mediation practitioner, I ran a small business for 10 years and taught mediation in schools across Ontario. I hold master’s degrees in linguistics and in adult education. I am a committed community volunteer, having taught English as a second language, and provided mediation services to several community organizations.

While winter weather may make many Toronto cyclists think about tossing their bikes in storage and hanging up their helmets for the season, Cycle Toronto is inviting everyone to take part in the Coldest Day of the Year Ride. The annual ride urges Torontonians to take to the streets on their bikes to celebrate and encourage winter cycling. While the weather may not always cooperate, typi-
cal Toronto winter days are marked more by cold temperatures than by inclement snow or icy conditions. Riding tips online Cycle Toronto (formerly the Toronto Cyclists Union) has included a set of winter riding and gear tips on its website, www.cycleto.ca The organization is inviting cyclists to support the organization by buying a pair of Cycle Toronto socks.
The organization is also encouraging those who do not own a bicycle to take a BIXI bike out for a free spin for the ride. The Coldest Day of the Year Ride will depart from the corner of Armoury and Chestnut streets, right behind city hall at noon Wednesday, Jan. 30. Anyone looking to reserve a BIXI bike is asked to make a reservation by emailing siva.v@cycleto.ca by Friday, Jan. 25.
