The generosity of east-end residents will be helping marginalized individuals have a happy holiday season.

A new grassroots initiative called East End Cares at Christmas has been launched with the goal of raising $5,000 to benefit a Toronto charity or charities this Christmas.

Leslieville resident Chip Costello, the moderator of the Leslieville Residents Association Buy/Sell/Swap/Gab/Update/ Everything Facebook group, is behind the effort.

“For me, Christmas time is way too commercialized and there are so many expectations,” he said while discussing his motivation for launching East End Cares at Christmas.

“I’ve always got more satisfaction out of doing things rather than giving gifts.”

Costello, who has lived near Dundas Street and Greenwood Avenue for three years, was inspired to start the initiative after recently undergoing emergency surgery and seeing first-hand how the community >>>this, page 9

of robberies wstring in Withrow Park Toronto police are warning residents about recent robberies in Withrow Park.

Cellphones were stolen during the robberies, all of which occurred in the evening hours.

The suspects were unarmed and the victims received minor injuries or none at all.

The suspects and victims appear to be under the age of 25.

Police are reminding park users to always be aware of their surroundings, stick to their surroundings, to not be distracted when walking through parks (such as having a hoodie on, ear phones in and texting), and to be vigilant as a neighbour of the park, but also as a user of the park.

In response to the recent criminal activity in and around the Park, Const. Jon Morrice, 55 Division’s crime prevention and social media officer, is looking into conducting a safety walk with residents and park users.

The walk will be held in the evening hours and will give those in attendance a chance to discuss their concerns and possible solutions with police face to face. A date has yet to be determined.

For details, email Jonathan.Morrice@torontopolice.on.ca Anyone with information

about robberies in or near Withrow Park should contact police at 416-808-5500. for Diwali spark calls wfireworks

Social media was abuzz late Sunday night after people reported what appeared to be several large and noisy explosions coming from the port lands and city’s east end.

In the end, it turned out to be fireworks at Polson Pier in the port lands as well as the Little India neighbourhood.

Revellers were celebrating the South Asian holiday of Diwali, the five-day Festival of Lights, and ignited pyrotechnics.

A number of calls to 311, the City of Toronto’s information hotline, were received.

Toronto police confirmed shortly after midnight Monday that the booms were fireworks and that there was no threat to the public.

of woman found on Unwin Two men charged with first-degree murder in 2011 The murder trial for two men charged with first-degree murder in connection with the Nov. 29, 2011 death of Leanne Freeman in the port lands is underway.

Jonathan Ash, who was arrested on Dec. 15, 2011, and Robert Beauregard, who was arrested the following day, have both pled not guilty.

In his opening remarks to the jury, Crown prosecutor Warren Thompson gave an overview of the evidence they’ll be hearing, noting many of the civilian witnesses are users and/or dealers of crystal meth.

He also said the Ruger handgun that was used to shoot the 23-year-old woman five times as well as a gold necklace found on her body were both stolen during a break-in in Whitby prior to

her murder.

Freeman was reportedly seen wearing the same necklace the day before her murder. The gun was never found.

In the early hours of Nov. 29, 2011, a passerby discovered a young woman on a lonely stretch of Unwin Avenue, west of Leslie Street, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.

Paramedics rushed the woman, identified as Leanne Freeman, to St. Michael’s Hospital where she died a short time later.

Days later, her belongings were located in the dumpster of a Scarborough Bulk Barn.

A native of Winnipeg, Man., Freeman moved to Toronto about four years earlier.

In early 2012, a permanent memorial was erected in Freeman’s honour just steps from where she died.

Residents work to save historic Leslieville building Burgess Building could be torn down to make room for condo JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com The Leslieville Historical Society (LHS) has embarked on its first major preservation challenge: saving 887 Queen St. E. at Logan Avenue – one of Leslieville’s oldest commercial buildings – from demolition.

The property in question, also known as the Burgess Building, is not included in the plans for a seven-storey, 118-unit condominium on the site that will house the Red Door Family Shelter at 875 Queen St. E. Shiralee Hudson Hill and her husband Matthew Hill live just down the street from the circa 1888 edifice, whose current main-floor tenant is Woodgreen Discount Drugs.

With the support of the LHS, the couple are leading the charge to save 887 Queen St. E.,

the community’s first medical building.

Hudson Hill said she and her husband, both LHS members, noticed in March that the Burgess Building seemed to be

obscured in renderings for the redevelopment of the neighbouring 875 Queen. Upon further inquiry, they learned retaining 887 Queen wasn’t part of Harhay Construction’s

plans.

“I was just baffled,” said Hudson Hill, pointing to the July 2014 Leslieville Urban Design Guidelines, which called 887 Queen an historic property of note that warrants further study to determine if it merits heritage designation.

“No one was talking about it because no one knew.”

They contacted local historical societies as well as Ward 30 Toronto-Danforth Councillor Paula Fletcher with their concerns about the loss of the local landmark.

In early July, Hudson Hill and her husband crafted and distributed a two-page handout to those attending a public meeting about the imminent loss of 887 Queen. Titled Save Leslieville’s Heritage!, the document called the Burgess Building a “key part of the historic look and feel of our great neighbourhood” and urged residents to help save it.

“Our goal was to bring this issue to the table. We want at least the façade retained on the new development,” Hudson Hill said.

“It’s the only intact main

Facebook group. intersection in Leslieville with historical buildings on all four sides. To lose one of these corners would be a huge detriment to the historical look and feel of Leslieville. (The Burgess Building) is part of what makes this community so special.”

Admittedly in rough shape, the three-storey structure features a number of notable architectural features including moulded brick courses, pilasters, brackets, a variety of windows and a detailed cornice.

“It’s a diamond in the rough,” said Hudson Hill.

“The building is in a state of disrepair, but it’s not an excuse to tear it down. Once these buildings are gone, they’re gone forever.”

On Oct. 16, the Leslieville Historical Society met with

Harhay Construction and city staff as well as representatives from ERA Architects and the Red Door Family Shelter to discuss the future of 887 Queen. The LHS presented a heritage impact statement on the Burgess Building. The three-page document outlined 887 Queen’s contribution to Leslieville’s built heritage as well as its history, cultural heritage value and character.

Harhay is now pricing the options in detail and is expected to send in a revised proposal to the LHS and Fletcher’s office.

The City of Toronto’s Heritage Preservation Services is looking into whether it should explore giving the building a heritage designation.

“It’s still a work in progress,” said Fletcher. “That building is an important anchor at that corner and it needs to be incorporated into that development.”

The developer, Chris Harhay of Harhay Construction, was not available for comment

by The Beach Mirror’s press time.

Pair of bronze sculptures reported stolen from Beach gallery JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Beach resident Christi Johnson can’t help but take the theft of two bronze sculptures from her art gallery personally.

Designed and sculpted

by Queen West artist Julie Campagna, the 12-inch-tall works of art named Bugged and Liquid retail for nearly $2,000 each.

Johnson noticed they were missing from Great Spirit Gallery at 2142A Queen St. E. at Scarborough Beach Boulevard, last Thursday morning.

This theft is the biggest one since she opened the gallery

a year ago.

“I can’t believe it,” Johnson said. “I’m a start-up business and this feels like a personal slight. I’ve worked my butt off to make this business happen.”

A report has been filed with the police.

Johnson, who has lived near Queen Street East and Coxwell Avenue for more than 10 years, said she suspects the culprit could be a woman about 5’9” tall with long brown hair who had come by the gallery three or four time in the last week.

She said the woman was acting strangely and didn’t venture past the front area of

the gallery.

Johnson said she suspects the pieces were removed on two different occasions.

“It is a huge loss for our gallery and our humble artist,” she wrote in a Facebook post.

“If anyone sees these sculptures please be so kind as to return them. We will not ask questions. We just want them back.”

Because she is a new business owner operating on a shoestring budget, Johnson requires all of her exhibiting artists to have their own insurance to cover incidents like theft.

“If I had to pay out that

amount to the artist I’d literally have to close,” she said.

Regardless, Johnson said she intends to help Campagna recover some of the costs.

“This is a direct theft from a sweet, humble artist,” said Johnson, who is also an artist.

“This is just a complete loss for all of us. I just want those pieces back.”

Johnson said Great Spirit Gallery is all about supporting local, east-end artists, both established and emerging.

“I can’t fathom why someone would do this. They obviously don’t realize the impact of their actions,” she said.

'Liquid', at left, and ‘Bugged’ are bronze sculptures, each measuring a foot tall, by artist Julie Campagna that were reported stolen from Great Spirit Gallery sometime before the morning of Nov. 5. Each piece is valued at $1,900.

T

he war on drugs may be nearing an end, but the war of words on drugs is just getting started.

At last week’s Toronto council meeting, a debate on banning hookahs in Toronto business establishments couldn’t go for long before handwringing questions about the implications of legalized marijuana would have on such a ban. Toronto’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David McKeown told councillors again and again that the fulfillment of the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau government’s promise to legalize the drug wouldn’t have much impact on this ban one way or another. But that didn’t stop the rhetoric.

It is an easy target for fear-monour view gering politicians, pot legalization.

What terrible things might happen Address the when Toronto residents are granted easier, consequence-free overdose access to the long-unlawful, arguably, unhealthy drug? epidemic Here’s the thing: Torontonians are already ingesting substances illegal and legal that cause different degrees of harm. And Toronto has been dealing with that reality for a decade now, through the Toronto Drug Strategy.

On Monday, McKeown provided an update on the city’s attempts to deal with problems that arise from addiction, experimentation and overdose in the city.

Overdose right now is the big problem faced by public health officials. Over the past 10 years, death by drug overdose has increased by 41 per cent and is now the second largest cause of death for young people.

(Vehicle collisions remain the first.)

The culprit in the overdose spike is a resurgence in popularity for opiates like heroin – highly addictive and so difficult to discourage with the threat of arrest and long jail sentences. The Drug Strategy’s implementation board has come up with a partial solution: POINT, a Toronto Public Health program to prevent overdoses. POINT distributes a kit for delivering Naxolone, a drug that can reverse the fatal effects of an overdose if administered immediately. So far, 2,000 kits have been distributed, and the drug has been used 300 times. More lives might be saved if the province and federal government passed a Good Samaritan law so that people present at an overdose can call 911 without fear of arrest themselves. That won’t solve things either, but that is the reality: when it comes to drug use and abuse, there’s no solution, just mitigation. And no amount of talk will change that.

Sizing up garbage in Toronto is getting tiring ‘If this is what you do with an extra large garbage bin, Toronto, maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to have one.’

When Toronto homeowners moved from old-fashioned garbage bags and cans to a payas-you-throw bin system under former mayor David Miller, Torontonians went along with it gamely.

The plan was intended to encourage us to recycle and use our green bins, in the spirit of extending the life of Toronto’s landfill capacity without getting into the dirty business of incineration.

It had some secondary benefits, too, many of them to the health and well-being of Toronto’s solid waste workers, and also to the gradual elimination of their jobs.

The bins were designed to be emptied mechanically, which meant trucks

david nickle the city might one day be operated by a smaller crew, and no one on that crew would have to lift heavy garbage cans filled with whoknows-what into the back of their trucks.

The other thing, of course, was the bins came in different sizes and that allowed the city to move over to a somewhat measurable pay-as-you-throw system, taking garbage off the property tax bill and providing financial incentive for homeowners to divert more effectively.

Trouble is, the system was only somewhat more measurable.

Homeowners paid more for the biggest garbage bin on the presumption they would throw away bags and bags of garbage each pickup, rather than the occasional large load and otherwise smaller loads.

Downtown Toyota site redevelopment earns approval from community council DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com A massive redevelopment of Queen Street East between Broadview Avenue and the East Don Roadway has the support of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

The proposal is a second stab at redeveloping the long block, currently dominated

by Downtown Toyota, by Streetcar Developments – this one scaled back from the original proposal that worried neighbours.

Streetcar president Les Mallins said the new proposal was a result of consultation with the community and with an eye toward retaining the character of Queen Street East.

“The heritage of Queen Street was of the utmost importance,” he said.

“We kept the Queen Street frontage at six storeys and exposed the adjacent buildings that were of heritage

significance, and the final thing was to reduce the height of the tallest building to 19 storeys.”

The redevelopment will reconfigure the long-standing dealership that currently dominates the stretch on the west end of Riverside to move its parking underground, and add nearly 10,000 square metres of retail to the area – including a grocery store – facing Queen.

As well, the redevelopment will add 880 residential dwelling units over two phases – one at 77-79 East Don Roadway, and a second at 661-677 Queen St. E. Along the Don Roadway, there would be three mixeduse buildings: one at 11 storeys but primarily ranging from four to 15 storeys.

Another would include a nine-storey base building with a 19-storey component. The third at the east end would have a height of 13 storeys.

The redevelopment would

see the demolition of the Downtown Toyota dealership and a six-storey mixed use building constructed in its place, reducing the footprint of the dealership from about 2.5 acres to an acre.

That and other elements of the massive redevelopment drew concerns from neighbours, who worried that the dealership’s presence and the increased density would have environmental impacts – and also suggested that consultation was inadequate.

Based on that, TorontoDanforth Councillor Paula Fletcher requested reports back on various elements of the development in February, and also moved motions to make sure there would be a regular construction liaison.

The project also offers community benefits, including larger, family-sized condominium units, the grocery store, parkland and affordable housing.

TTC chair wants to lower fares to $1 Eglinton-Lawrence Councillor Josh Colle wants TTC fares to drop considerably, and for the province to make up the difference in revenue.

At this week’s budget meeting, the TTC chair put forward a motion calling on the Kathleen Wynne government to subsidize every TTC ride, like it does for other Ontario transit agencies, to bring down fares to $1 by 2017. This would require a $1-per-ride subsidy from the province. The provincial subsidy would then increase to $1.30 per ride after 2017, and continue to increase thereafter to maintain an even split between the province and city in operating costs.

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT between Eglinton and Finch stations to deal with critical tunnel maintenance work. In 2013, the TTC announced the closings would be extended by a further two years due to the rapid deterioration of the tunnel ceiling under Lawrence station’s bus bay, which had become a safety hazard.

With the year nearly over, the TTC remains non-committal about ending the early closures. In the meantime, buses, not trains, will remain the only way to get north of Eglinton for late-night riders.

It appears the Eglinton Crosstown LRT will cost less than estimated.

The province’s Ministry of Transportation issued a press release last week indicating Crosslinx Transit Solutions, a consortium of Canadian and international construc-

tion companies, has signed a $9.1-billion agreement to deliver the light rail project, which also includes a 30-year term for maintenance of the 19-kilometre line when it opens in 2021.

According to the release, the deal actually costs $2 billion less than estimated.

BARNS slated to OPEN later this month wLESLIE

The TTC has confirmed streetcars will officially begin running out of the new, but oft-delayed Leslie Barns maintenance and storage facility as of Nov. 22.

The facility should have begun operations last year but a series of delays plagued construction. The facility, located at Leslie Street and Lake Shore Boulevard, will also house nearly half of the TTC’s planned new streetcar fleet in the future.

‘This is gift giving at its best’ >>>from page 1 rallied around him in his time of need.

About a month ago, he casually put out the idea of raising money for a great cause this holiday season on his Facebook group.

Costello asked members to consider giving $20.

“Twenty dollars isn’t a lot of money, but when you’ve got 200, 300, 400 people (contributing) it’s a lot,” he said during a recent interview.

In just a matter of weeks, generous residents have con-

tributed $4,500.

“This is gift giving at its best. I’m amazing at the level of generosity,” he said.

“Christmas is a great time to remember how fortunate we are and to give back.”

Costello said the final push is now on to reach and hopefully surpass the $5,000 mark.

No autumn closure of the Gardiner Expressway planned for this year There will be no closure of the Gardiner Expressway for maintenance this autumn.

The entire expressway from Hwy. 427 to east of the Don Valley Parkway is regularly closed for a weekend once a season for maintenance work ranging from pothole and minor road repairs to bridge and sign inspections.

But it won’t be necessary this time around, said the city, since the work can be co-ordinated at other times of the year and as part of separate roadwork projects.

What will be continuing, however, is long-term rehabilitative work on the elevated portion of the Gardiner, which was approved by Toronto

Council in 2014 as part of a 13-year plan to extend the expressway’s shelf life beyond 60 years.

The latest stage of the rehab work, which will cost the city more than $400 million over the next decade, is expected to be completed in late 2016.

How would you improve tree canopy?

The City of Toronto wants to grow more trees on the streets where you live.

Toronto’s beneficial green canopy - after losing trees to emerald ash borer, road salt, storm damage and other causes - is down to something like 27 per cent, or 10.2 million trees.

Mayor John Tory promised to plant 3.8 million trees across the city over 10 years, but the city is not sure how to pay for that.

Around 60 per cent of the

city’s trees are on private property, and officials want to know how they can get homeowners to plant more, perhaps with a rebate program.

People can bring their opinions to public meetings on the city tree planting strategy at Scarborough Civic Centre, 156 Borough Dr., Monday, Nov. 16, Etobicoke Civic Centre, 399 The West Mall Tuesday, Nov. 17 and Toronto City Hall, 100 Queen St. W., Monday, Nov. 30. All

meetings are from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

“The city is committed to stewardship of our urban forest on both public and private lands,” Scarborough Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker, a deputy mayor responsible for the treeplanting effort said Friday in a release. “A tree planting strategy will help to protect, maintain and expand this vital green infrastructure.”

Toronto Drug Strategy marks 10 years; sets goals and strategies for the future DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com It has been 10 years since Toronto Council approved the Toronto Drug Strategy – and at a conference looking back on the strategy’s first decade of implementation, health officials admitted that it could take more than another decade to eradicate the problems associated with substance use and abuse, if such a thing is ever possible.

“Alcohol and drug use is complex,” said TrinitySpadina Councillor Joe Cressey, who chairs the Toronto Drug Strategy Implementation Panel.

“People have consumed drugs throughout history for all kinds of reasons.

Substance use is not going to end tomorrow. In fact, that’s not necessarily the goal. We have more work to do in setting and addressing those issues.”

The strategy was

approved in 2005 after having been first proposed by the Toronto Board of Health in 2003 and has been used in a myriad of initiatives to deal with drug and alcohol use across the city.

While many of those initiatives are long-term advocacy and education projects, some, said Cressey, have saved lives.

“I would point to one example and that’s the city’s POINT (Public-Health Implemented Prevention Overdose in Toronto) program,” said Cressey.

“As part of the program we have distributed more than 2,000 Naloxone kits, that have been used over 300 times.”

Naloxone is a drug that can help reverse the potentially-fatal impacts of a drug overdose.

And drug overdoses, said Cressey and Toronto’s chief medical officer of health Dr. David McKeown, are a

looming crisis.

Over the past 10 years, death by overdose has increased by 41 per cent and is now the second biggest killer of young people next to vehicular collisions.

“These deaths are preventable,” said Cressey.

Toward that end, the implementation panel has also approved a pilot project that will provide testing stations in nightclubs so that people who’ve obtained a pill can determine whether its contents are as-advertised.

“You have your pills tested and then you write on a chalk board what is real and what is not. That is good harm reduction, but it also helps on enforcement.”
