Fletcher fights bridge closure

Rebecca field rfield@insidetoronto.com

Rebecca Field rfield@insidetoronto.com

“Not your average woman” is how the late Arlene Clayton can be described.

The mother, wife and owner of Lilly’s Second Chance on Queen Street East died June 26 at 77 years of age, attracting about 400 people from all walks of life to her funeral Sunday, June 30.

At the front of the large crowd at Sherrin Funeral Home, Cremation and Tribute Centre was Victor (Vic) Clayton, her husband for 58 years, whom with she had five children Paul, Tim, Mark, Ruth Ann and Andrew, and eight grandchildren.

“I knew her since she was 14. She was my very first girlfriend and I was her very first boyfriend,” said Vic. “It was always Vic and Arlene, Arlene and Vic.” Throughout the 63 years they knew each other, Vic describes a lifetime of giving from his wife.

“She was the most incredible woman in the Beach,” Vic said.

Arlene had a lifetime of community involvement, known by multiple Toronto mayors who were on their best behaviour whenever she arrived at city hall on a mission — helping implement such things as ramps on sidewalks for those physically challenged, Vic said.

This is a woman who shared a 10-minute conversation with then-president of the United >>>she, page 6

Councillor Paula Fletcher put a motion forward to City Council July 8 regarding the continued closure of the Ship Channel Bridge on Cherry Street.

The motion recommends council request that Deputy City Manager John Livey speed up completion of construction of the bridge, which was due to be complete in June.

The construction of the bridge has been ongoing since November 2012 and is expected to continue until late July, when one lane will open.

“It’s actually unbelievable,” Fletcher said. “It’s got to end.

The bridge must be opened as quickly as possible.”

The closure continues as construction on Leslie Street picks up to install streetcar tracks that will lead the new fleet of 200 light rail streetcars to the planned Leslie Barns Streetcar Maintenance and Storage Facility.

“It’s an unacceptable condition to have an integral piece on Cherry Street closed while you have Leslie down to, at times, one or two lanes,” Fletcher said.

A single-lane bridge on Unwin Avenue is the only access point other than Leslie Street to the port lands, and therefore residents have been >>>closure, page 8

South Asia comes to Little India Bazaar REBECCA FIELD rfield@insidetoronto.com It was a weekend of food, music and monsoon rain at the Gerrard India Bazaar’s TD Festival of South Asia.

On Saturday night, women in brightly coloured saris waded through the packed strip between Coxwell Avenue and Greenwood Avenue.

Festivities continued Sunday despite the ongoing downpour, with crowds walking through the rain with plates of butter chicken, naan and onion bhaji.

“The rain is not disappointing,” said Shyamala Ram, a Bollywood singer who performed at the festival Sunday night. “People are here no matter what, rain or shine.”

Ram, from Kitchener, has performed at the festival for the past three years.

“I love it because the whole street just comes to life,” said Ram, who attended the event with her mother Gowri Murti.

Also performing were Bangrha, Bengali and Bollywood dancers, a steel drum band and contestants in South Asia’s Got Talent.

Twelve-year-old Shawn “Dholi” Bheli, who played the Dhol, a traditional South Asian drum, took first place in the competition.

“This area is interesting because

it’s changing – the Indian nature of it is diminishing,” said Dale Hildebrand, who lives in the com-

munity.

He said the festival lets the public know more about Toronto’s down-

“I think anything that gets people out meeting each other, meeting your neighbours, is a good thing,” Hildebrand said. “It’s part of what makes Toronto so great in the summer – all the festivals and people just get out and meet each other.”

Marlene Sagada, a community member who was enjoying the festival with Hildebrand, agreed.

“Anything that takes cars off the streets and puts people on them is a good thing,” she said.

Vic Singh, manager of New Haandi 2000 restaurant on Gerrard Street, has been a part of the festival, now in its fifth year, since its beginning.

“It just draws everybody in, neighbouring communities, everybody just gets a chance to come out with the kids and enjoy the festival,” said Singh, whose family has been a part of the community for more than 45 years, formerly selling their wares out of the market and then moving into the restaurant 15 years ago.

According to www.gerrardindiabazaar.com, the Gerrard India Bazaar is the largest marketing place of South Asian goods and services in North America.

Luminous Veil to light up by 2015 The Luminous Veil will become luminous in time for the Pan Am Games, after Toronto’s Executive Committee voted in favour of finishing the prominent suicide barrier along the Bloor viaduct with lights, as was originally intended.

The committee approved spending $200,000 immediately and up to $1.3 million in the 2014 capital budget to light up the bridge. The lights were part of the original plans for the suicide barrier when it was constructed 10 years ago, but was removed from the plan for lack of funds. That was then.

IN TIME FOR GAMES With the Pan Am Games coming to Toronto in 2015, Mayor Rob Ford’s Executive Committee voted for the lighting, which would light up the entire bridge, both underneath and on top.

Committee member Councillor Norm Kelly moved the motion to add the cash to the project on behalf of local councillors Pam McConnell and Paula Fletcher. The veil, he said, would be “a gorgeous addition to the City of Toronto.”

The barrier was first approved in 1998 but its cost more than doubled from the $2.5 million estimate. The difference was paid through fundraising.

Beach flutist takes to stage at international jazz fest REBECCA FIELD rfield@insidetoronto.com Woodbine Park is about to feel the piping hot music from one Beach resident’s exotic wooden wind instruments.

The Beaches International Jazz Festival kicks off next weekend at Woodbine Park with flutist Ron Korb playing the main stage.

As is traditional, the huge eastend festival, which runs from July 19 to 28, kicks off with the first several days at Woodbine Park (July 19 to 24) before taking over the larger Beach community.

“

When the whole festival really kicks into gear...it becomes sort of a Mardi Gras carnival kind of feel.

– Ron Korb

“It’s more laidback and can be more focused,” said Korb, of his gig at the Woodbine Park venue.

While the Beach resident has played the festival several times, this year will mark his first return to the festival in 10 years.

He’s plugging a new album,

Europa, which is very much inspired by his experiences travelling through Europe last year as a musician while on tour with Jim McCarty of the Yardbirds.

“I’ve had albums out in the period that I didn’t play, but this one is particularly special because it sort of mixes classical and jazz,” he said.

He has performed all over the world, and along the way, collected more than 250 flutes from different cultures, all with their own unique sounds.

After its initial opening at Woodbine Park, the festival, which is celebrating its 25th year, then

takes over the Beach at various venues, including: StreetFest (on Queen Street) July 25 to 27; Beaches Boardwalk July 26 to 28; and Kew Gardens July 27 and 28.

“When the whole festival really kicks into gear there’s just so much happening, it becomes sort of a Mardi Gras carnival kind of feel,” said Korb.

“I love the fact that they close the street off and it becomes a big party.”

The Beaches International Jazz Festival takes place July 19 to 28. Visit www.beachesjazz.com or call 416410-8809.

Chance to learn from Toronto’s flood

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

n light of Monday’s severe thunderstorm that walloped the Greater Toronto Area and caused significant service disruptions and flooding, there’s much for all of us to learn from the experience.

There always is.

When it comes to the record rainfall and the subsequent flooding, power outages and transportation paralysis endured by Torontonians, we expect that service providers will undertake a thorough review of the steps they followed in the wake of Monday’s event.

Such introspection is important no matter how well or poorly things went; it’s essential because it can help lead to improved service delivery during future emergency occurrences.

Indeed, the consequences of Monday’s storm form a powerful reminder of the importance of proper emergency planning, but not just for the providers of municiour view pal services, but for residents and businesses as well.

Create an Knowing what steps to take and what services to rely on emergency during a trying time can make an unpredictable and uncomplan fortable situation just that much more bearable if there’s a plan in place. It helps to have that kind of stability.

In some cases, it can be simple steps. Making sure communication devices are charged frequently, for example, is one. Having an emergency kit at home is another. In your own neighbourhood, checking in on those who may have mobility issues or other illnesses is yet another.

But it’s also important to differentiate between preparation and reaction. The theory goes if we do a better job preparing, we’re better enabled to react properly.

And while it’s important that all of us strive to improve our own planning for the unpredictable, it is also important to celebrate heroic deeds and acts of kindness we witnessed Monday evening. Some moving video and images have emerged. You can see some of them on our website at www.beachmirror. com There’s the picture of a man helping another move his car through a flooded intersection. There’s the video of the GO train rescue of 1,400 passengers on the Don Valley.

So for emergencies, there’s the preparation part, which we must always strive to improve.

And then there’s also the reaction part, which benefits from proper preparation.

Cut Doug Holyday some slack Let’s not be too hard on Doug Holyday this summer.

Toronto’s deputy mayor seems to have found himself in a bit of a tangle, since he elected to accept the nomination to seek a provincial byelection victory for the Progressive Conservatives in Etobicoke-Lakeshore Aug. 1, and he’ll be stumping against Peter Milczyn.

Here’s the trouble: some nine years ago, Holyday made a fuss when then-citycouncillor Olivia Chow did something similar, seeking the nomination for the federal New Democratic Party in the same riding where she’d just won her seat on council.

Holyday was outraged, and put forward a motion asking council require a councillor seeking higher office to immediately resign their post.

Holyday maintains the circumstances are different this time – he hadn’t expected this byelection to come along, unlike Chow, who knew an election was in the offing when she ran for municipal office.

david nickle the city Critics have pointed out that in 2004, Holyday hadn’t made that distinction, and he shouldn’t now. To that, I say: Oh, tosh.

Holyday has been startlingly consistent through his long career as a municipal politician. That is to say, consistently Conservative.

When he was mayor of Etobicoke, he took one look at that city’s unionized garbage collectors and replaced them with contractors.

When Holyday came to Toronto council post-amalgamation, he listened as mayor Mel Lastman called Ontario then premier Mike Harris a liar and gave away influence to New Democrats.

Holyday spent the rest of the term calling Lastman out, as the appeaser that Holyday understood him to be.

When former New Democrat David Miller took over as mayor in 2003,

Holyday went to war. When New Democrats on council tried to look after one another, using tax dollars to cover legal bills related to their candidacy, Holyday was all over that.

And yes – when Chow made a play for a federal seat in Ottawa, Holyday stood up to shout, ‘No.’ But we should understand: Holyday was shouting ‘No’ to a New Democrat, attempting to use taxpayers’ money to bring a socialist agenda to the nation’s capital.

Holyday is hoping to cut gravy at Queen’s Park in the same way that he understands Mayor Rob Ford to have done at city hall, and to bolster a Progressive Conservative caucus that has to his mind been too long out of power, and far too long without a seat in Toronto. The Conservative agenda is at stake.

And that, for Holyday at any rate, makes all the difference.

Letter

Unions gave us better paying jobs I often hear we can lay the blame for the drop in our economy on the unions.

Many people worked 60-hour work weeks with no overtime pay, no paid holidays and often under extreme poor working conditions.

As union workers demanded better conditions and better wages, those things increased also for the non-union workers.

I am not lulled into thinking that, if society lowers union wages and benefits, the same won’t happen to those nonunion jobs.

Anyone who has the idea that going back to the ’40s before unions is going to solve everything, they would be wise to consult their history books.

Better storm response needed: Mayor Ford DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto’s response to Monday night’s torrential HurricaneHazel-topping downpour was only “satisfactory,” said Mayor Rob Ford, and on Tuesday morning he announced that City Manager Joe Pennachetti will be reporting on how to better respond to heavy rains he said will likely become more frequent.

“I think we did a satisfactory job but I’m still not happy,” said Ford at a city hall news conference flanked by senior city, TTC and Toronto Hydro staff.

Ford kicked off the news conference with a more salutary message to city staff, many of whom spent the night before mopping up after a storm that delivered more than 126 millimetres of rain to parts of Toronto, much

of it over more than an hour during Monday evening’s rush hour.

“What occurred over a few short hours (Monday night) was unprecedented,” Ford said.

Proud of city “I am proud of our hardworking staff who worked tirelessly through the night.

I’m also proud of the people of this great city for coming together. Once again Toronto has persevered, we have weathered the storm. There were a number of things that worked well last night, unfortunately there are areas that need improvement.”

Ford said he spent the night in his SUV with his family and his cellphone, taking calls and driving around the neighbourhood to assist people.

He said the failures he wants to study were pointed out to him by Toronto residents he spoke with and visited.

“It’s not what concerns me,

it’s the taxpayers,” said Ford.

“People had basement flooding; they were panicked last night. They needed answers and as mayor I can only do so much, so I have to sit down with Mr. (City Manager Joe) Pennachetti and figure out how we can get the information out.”

Ford said communication was a big problem.

“Communications is a

big one, but when there’s a blackout, TVs weren’t working, radios weren’t working.

A lot of people were in their cars trying to get some information,” he said.

Pennachetti said he would review the city’s response, but said given the enormity of the rainfall, city staff performed well. “From my personal viewpoint I thought that a lot more went right

than wrong,” he said.

Pennachetti acknowledged the city has issues in terms of infrastructure. “Water, sewers are key areas where we have to do our best to ensure that the backups don’t happen, but we’ve made strides even in the last five years since the last storm,” he said.

She was always helping those in need: Victor >>>from page 1 States Jimmy Carter about his Bible studies class when he visited for the opening of the Toronto Eaton Centre in 1977.

“The security guards were going crazy because she put her arms on the desk and talked to him face to face,” Vic said. “Jimmy Carter said to the security guards ‘You guys get away, I’m having a wonderful conversation with this lady.’”

“She was such a force.”

Arlene worked with the Yonge Street Mission for several years, bringing clothing and other goods neighbours would leave on her veranda on Beech Avenue.

“She asked me to go with her sometimes,” said Vic who went with Arlene into social housing to help those in need.

“They were bug infested, c o c k r o a c h e s. . . s h e w a s right in there helping these people.”

Arlene joined Rev. George Hess in court at the inquest of the death of his cousin Lillian Hess due to malnutrition,

“

With her (Arlene Clayton) gone, there is no store (Lilly’s Second Chance).

– Victor Clayton

dehydration and neglect in 1979. Eighty-year-old Lillian was admitted to Toronto General Hospital weighing only 54 pounds, dying six weeks later.

The Yonge Street Mission eventually wouldn’t let Arlene and Vic volunteer without earning a wage, so they opted to open a similar storefront in the Beach about 20 years ago.

“She opened Lilly’s Second Chance in honour of Lillian Hess.” Vic said.

Vic noted the store opened when there was more public housing and people in need living in the Beach.

“She had those people coming – sometimes they needed money and she would give them money.

“Sometimes they needed clothing, and we would give

them clothing,” Vic said.

“Whatever they needed, she was looking after people.”

Vic is currently donating the rest of the secondhand items in the store to various centres and thrift stores around the city and is planning to close down the shop.

“With her gone, there is no store,” Vic said. “The problem was people were so generous in the Beach that the store was so packed with stuff, we’re still trying to get it out.”

Arlene now shares a grave with her mother at St. John Norway Cemetery.

After the service, Vic’s daughter-in-law walked around the tombstones, which all lie flat in the ground, kicking grass off their faces to read the names.

“She called me over after and said ‘Do you see this?’”

Vic said. “I said ‘I don’t believe it. Where Arlene is buried, Lillian Hess is buried about six feet away.’”

St. John Norway Cemetery is at 256 Kingston Rd. at Woodbine Avenue. Visit www. stjohnsnorway.com

Closure causing ‘difficulties’: Fletcher

>>>from page 1 experiencing increased traffic on Leslie Street south of Commissioners Road.

“Nobody was thinking ahead very well,” Fletcher said. “It’s creating very big difficulties for everyone. It’s creating very big difficulties for everyone.”

The port lands are used for summer recreational activities

such as sailing and summer camps.

Fletcher sent a letter to TTC Chief Executive Office Andy Byford and Livey on June 3 asking steps be taken to allow proper access to emergency vehicles to the port lands as well as a timely completion of the Cherry Street bridge.

“As you know my community was opposed to the Leslie

route because of the chaos it would create,” Fletcher said in the letter. “And in the first short span of time, unfortunately, we are being proven right.”

After receiving no response to the letter, the councillor sent out the motion to council Monday.

MYTH:

TAXPAYERS ARE GOING IN THE HOLE FOR OUR TUNNEL.

FACT:

ONLY PASSENGERS PAY FOR OUR TUNNEL.

Depth 10 Stories

Cost $82.5m

Length 800 feet

TUNNEL FACTS

Our new pedestrian tunnel will make accessing the airport easier, reducing congestion. Construction was funded completely by the private sector, based on part of the existing Airport Improvement Fee paid by every passenger.

And we incorporated City water and sanitary main improvements into the tunnel that will save city taxpayers $10 million by avoiding duplicate construction. So while everyone can benefit from the tunnel, only those who use the airport paid for it.
