Santa Claus parade on Sunday

®

inside George the barber celebrates 50 years of business / 3

TALENT SHOW

Santa Claus is coming to the Upper Beach Sunday for Hamper’s Santa Claus Parade.

The parade, which is named in honour of Community Centre 55’s (CC55) mascot Hamper the Reindeer starts at 1 p.m. at Victoria Park Avenue at Kingston Road.

Presented by CC55 and the Kingston Road Village Business Association, the parade features scores of colourful floats, marching bands and costumed characters all making their way westward on Kingston Road to Walter Avenue, north to Lyall Avenue, west to Kimberley Avenue and north to Swanwick Avenue before coming to an end at CC55 at 97 Main St. “We’ve had lots of interest from the community and many new groups are also interested in taking part in the parade,” said Debbie Visconti, CC55’s executive director, during a recent interview.

“It’s a real community event where people of all ages line local streets.”

Those in attendance are asked to bring a toonie in support of CC55’s Share-AChristmas campaign, a program that collects food and gift hampers for less fortunate people in the community during the holiday season.

“We expect we’ll have as many, if not more, applicants (for Share-A-Christmas) as last year. The need doesn’t go away,” >>>share, page 10

George the barber marks 50 years of business and marriage JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com For 50 years, George ‘the chess playing barber’ Iliadis has watched the Riverside neighbourhood evolve from a former working class area to one of the most coveted communities east of the Don River, all from the front window of his barber shop.

During that time, he’s also cut the hair of generations of area residents, many of whom he views as family and friends.

“The key to success (in business) is you have to look after (your customers) and serve them well,” said Iliadis, who has been in the neighbourhood so long he seems to know everyone who passes by his shop.

It helps that he has a great memory for faces and an uncanny ability to remember a few key details about every customer who walks through his door.

“I know my customers. They’re like family. They’ve supported me all these years,” said Iliadis who started working at Broadview Beauty Parlour, at 741 Queen St. E. in 1963 and took over the business in the fall of 1964 and renamed it George’s Unisex Barbershop and Style and Broadview Beauty Parlour.

occasionally rents out the shop for film and commercial shoots.

Along with celebrating 50 years of business, the charismatic barber is also marking 50 years of marriage.

On Oct. 24, 1964, Iliadis wed Kalliopi, who also worked as a hairdresser at Broadview Beauty Parlour for 25 years, but retired about 20 years ago.

George Iliadis gets his hair cut by his wife of 50 years Kalliopi, Councillor Paula Fletcher and his daughter Helen Konstantinidis during a celebration to mark 50 years of business – and marriage – at his barber shop on Queen Street East and Broadview Avenue in late October.

He hasn’t looked back since.

“I feel like I live here. I go home and eat and sleep then I’m back here,” he said during a recent interview.

“You have to have passion and as long as I feel good I’ll continue,

but if I win the 6/49, the next day I’ll quit.”

Iliadis, who is known for playing a mean game of chess with those who drop by his barber shop, started cutting hair as an apprentice when he was 14 years old in his hometown of Agia Kyriaki, Greece.

In 1960, he moved to Germany and worked at a factory, but continued cutting hair on Saturdays for extra cash before relocating to Canada in 1963.

Iliadis makes a point to visit his

homeland every year for a few weeks, while his wife of 50 years, Kalliopi, spends a couple months there.

“It’s time to stop working,” she chided.

To which he jokingly replied: “Who’s gonna pay the bills?”

Another way Iliadis pays the bills is by acting.

A card-carrying ACTRA member, he’s appeared in several commercials and films in recent years including Cinderella Man, Nikita and Soul Patrol to name a few. Iliadis also

“In the 25 years I was working here, we never fought,” she said, adding the key to a long marriage is “communication and listening to each other.”

The couple, who calls Scarborough home, along with their three grown children and seven grandchildren as well as friends celebrated their milestone anniversaries with a surprise celebration at the local barber shop late last month.

In honour of Iliadis’ 50 years of business, he received a scroll from the City of Toronto, a plaque from the Riverside BIA, as well as certificates from Mayor Rob Ford, Premier Kathleen Wynne and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, among others.

Lanes named in honour of east-end advocates Jim Wilson and Carl Stryg JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Two laneways – one in the Upper Beach and the other in Leslieville – have recently been named in honour of two east-end residents: Jim Wilson and Carl Stryg.

On Monday, Nov. 7, dozens of relatives, friends and community members gathered at the corner of Kingston Road and Pickering Street on a brisk afternoon to celebrate the unveiling of a lane named in honour of a man often referred to as “The King of Kingston Road.”

Jim Wilson, a lifelong east-ender, died Dec. 17, 2013, at the age of 67.

A plumber by trade, Wilson was remembered as someone who took great pride in his work.

“He loved his job. There was nowhere else he’d rather be,” Marg, Wilson’s wife of 44 years, said at the unveiling.

She also said Jim was a fun-loving and down-to-earth guy who strongly believed in supporting the local business community.

Wilson’s nine-year-old grandson, Aaron Nock, also said a few words at the event.

“Today, I feel lucky,” he said speaking about the great honour it is to have a laneway named after his

grandfather, whom he remembers as someone who had lots of friends and a deep love for his family, especially his grandkids.

Area residents Carole Vaughan and Ian Whan spearheaded the effort to have the laneway named in Wilson’s honour. “(The laneway idea) just came to me. I thought, what a great thing it would be for his family and friends in the neighbourhood,” said Vaughan, who rented storage space from Wilson

for her roofing business, following the ceremony. “He was just a great, great man.”

Over in Leslieville, about 85 people gathered near Queen and Pape streets on a rainy day in late October to take part in the unveiling ceremony for Carl Stryg Lane.

One of the neighbourhood’s biggest supporters, Stryg wore many hats in his lifetime including ballet dancer, countertenor singer, restau-

rateur, restoration specialist and most recently owner/operator of Coach House Shortbread Co., which, until about five years ago, was operated from the coach house accessed by the laneway now named in his honour.

“He just had energy coming out of his ears. … He had so many dimensions,” said his sister Catherine Nasmith. “Carl was 100 per cent about everything. It didn’t matter what he did. In every aspect of his life he was

just meticulous.”

Will Coukell, Stryg’s husband of 10 years, said his partner was one of Leslieville’s most well-known and outspoken residents.

“He knew everybody and everybody knew him and I mean everybody,” he said. “Carl believed in the neighbourhood and I think (Leslieville) wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him.”

Stryg, who some referred to as The Shortbread King of Canada and The Ginger Prince of Leslieville, died May 10 at the age of 48.

Shortly after his death, Coukell, who continues to run Stryg’s cookie company, and Nasmith, a heritage architect by day, contacted Ward 30 Councillor Paula Fletcher’s office about having the laneway behind the McKarten Family building at 993 Queen St. E., which Stryg spent a decade lovingly restoring, named in his honour.

“There were 10 years of living in pretty awful conditions but the place is beyond gorgeous now,” said Nasmith, who is also working to have the circa 1895 Victorian structure designated as a heritage building by the City of Toronto.

Carl Stryg Lane is south of Queen Street East and runs between Heward and Pape avenues.

Policies in need of consistency I

t’s been 16 years since six municipalities were formed into the City of Toronto.

And yet, more than a decade and a half after amalgamation, Toronto is still dealing with numerous policy discrepancies, bylaw inconsistencies and service disparities in its various neighbourhoods.

Rules governing anything from snow removal to mechanical leaf collection to rooming house bylaws can be markedly different depending on what area of the city you live in.

It’s completely understandable why York SouthWeston Councillor Frances Nunziata wants to approach the budget committee to explore extending mechanical leaf collection to all parts of the city – including her ward. Currently, the service is only available in certain pockets of Etobicoke, Scarborough and a small part of York. How is it fair that residences mere blocks away in the same city can our view receive disproportionate levels service?

Time to tidy up of It’s reasonable to expect there to be a transition period from discrepancies, such a complicated process as disparities the megacity amalgamation was. But now, in 2014, we’re into the sixth term of Toronto council in its current format. It’s past time to tidy this up.

In the coming term, Toronto’s new council must make a sincere effort to build more consistent policy throughout the city – one that reflects a more unified entity that is Toronto. Councillors must understand there will be differences between putting forth their priorities from their constituents and looking at those priorities through a city-wide lens.

Governing a city with the size, complexity and diversity of Toronto is a challenging task. But a city that has more consistency in its policies can take pride in a more equitable distribution of services and still respect the unique characteristics of its 140 neighbourhoods. Providing equal access to the benefits that come with being a resident of this city does nothing to change those valuable characteristics.

The effects of amalgamation were felt strongly when it happened in 1998. The effects of amalgamation are still a hurdle today in this city. They will continue to be a hurdle as long as we fail to view Toronto as one unified entity.

A more unified Toronto is a stronger Toronto.

The sooner the city unshackles itself from a hodgepodge of policies the sooner it will be prepared to deal with present challenges.

Polite Revolution against ‘Fordian Tyranny of Bad Behaviour’ celebrates one year A year ago this week (and this day, as I write this on Tuesday) Toronto council did a very bold, and also quite fearful thing. In a meeting specially called for the purpose, council voted to dethrone the mayor of the day, and select a new leader from among their own.

It is the closest a government in this city has come to open revolt – and one might hope, the closest it will ever come to happening again.

Success Looking back over the past year, it’s fair to say Toronto’s experiment with revolution has been at least a measured success.

Part of that may be that the roots of this particular revolution dovetailed so well with our national identity.

david nickle the city Not so much a Quiet Revolution, it was a Polite Revolution against a Fordian tyranny of Bad Behaviour.

Mayor Rob Ford and his brother Doug perhaps unwittingly stoked that revolution during the meeting where council cut the mayor’s budget and stripped him of his powers, hollering at audience members, telling sex jokes and at one point knocking councillor Pam McConnell to the ground without so much as an excuse-me-ma’am.

Norm Kelly was a true Father of the Revolution as he embraced his enhanced role as deputy (and defacto) mayor. He visited his shell-shocked council colleagues one by one, said

his please-and-thank-yous, and even as the mayorin-exile’s spiralling drama continued in the public corridors outside their offices and during parts of the monthly council meetings.

Canadian way For the most part, council managed to politely ignore the Ford brothers, in a quintessentially Canadian way – passing an inoffensive budget, delaying an uncomfortable conversation about jets at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, averting eyes at the prospect of hurrying ahead on city-wide contracting out of garbage collection.

Things got boisterous on the campaign trail, but things do, and Torontonians clearly were only willing to have so much of it.

While some may have hankered for the old, hoot-and-holler approach to municipal governance, most turned away from Rob’s brother Doug Ford and cast their votes with the one candidate on the planet who could give even Norm Kelly a few lessons in table manners, the forcefully pleasant John Tory.

This more than anything is evidence that the Polite Revolution has taken hold on at least a semi-permanent basis.

As it turns out, Torontonians are not only fond of the traditional Canadian values of Peace, Order and Good Government: after a year of exposure to it, we’re also as it turns out fond of just a little peace and quiet.

Honest Ed’s partners with Bad Boy ‘Innovative’ greenspace benefits all Grand opening of new superstore set for Thursday, November 20th

Two true Toronto originals are set to pair up in an Annex location already well-known to the city’s bargain hunters.

Lastman’s Bad Boy Superstore is set to move into a portion of Honest Ed’s left vacant with the departure of music store Sonic Boom Records.

According to Bad Boy CEO Blayne Lastman, the partnership between his company and the Mirvish family-owned Honest Ed’s was a natural fit. “(Honest Ed’s) approached me because the Mirvishes thought it was a great idea,” Lastman said.“I loved the idea as soon as I heard it. We met to discuss it the next day and had (an agreement) the day after.”

The 14,000 square foot location will feature furniture, appliances, electronics and mattresses. The new location

will cater to the residents living around the franchise’s latest location.

“We’ll have some urban Bad Boy in there – some condo and apartment-sized furniture,” he said.“It’s our first time in the downtown core.”

He noted, however, that the store would also feature goods designed to appeal to homeowners, pointing out that while many downtown residents are keen on spacesaving furniture, others want larger pieces to fill homes.

“It’s a great area, the Annex,” he said. “The average household income is over $100,000 and the average house is worth more than $1 million.”

The chain was founded by Mel Lastman, who built it up before entering into municipal politics. Blayne Lastman took

over the reins in the 1990s and has expanded the franchise across the GTA and beyond.

The Honest Ed’s site will be Bay Boy’s 11th location, though its stay at Bathurst and Bloor comes with a time limit. The Honest Ed’s store was sold last year to developer Westbank Properties and it is expected to shut its door for good perhaps as soon as the end of 2016.

“We believe it may take a little while longer for (Westbank) to start work on whatever they’re going to build there, so hopefully we can be there a little longer,” Lastman said.

The store will host a grand opening sale at its new location, 782 Bathurst Street, starting at 6 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20, with more than $50,000 in giveaways.

Corktown Common is not only an urban green space, but also a key piece of infrastructure that protects more than 500 acres of Toronto’s downtown core, including the Financial District, from flooding.

The $27-million downtown east park, which is roughly 19 times the size of YongeDundas Square, aims to reconnect the long-neglected area southeast of the downtown core with the rest of the city as well as celebrate the area’s native ecology.

WoodGreen nabs two awards An east-end social service agency has received two prestigious awards from the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA).

WoodGreen Community Services was honoured for its bold ‘Single Mom Celebrity’ advertising campaign with the ONPHA Innovation Award.

This new award recognizes a non-profit housing provider that finds innovative and creative ways to make a positive impact on their community.

The ‘Single Mom Celebrity’ campaign, which went viral, saw WoodGreen clients fea-

tured on subway posters of mock tabloid magazines that asked transit riders the question: “What if we cared about those living in poverty as much as we care about celebrities?”

The second award, The Sybil Frenette Outstanding Leadership Award, was also presented to WoodGreen’s president and CEO, Brian Smith, for his energy and vision to the cause of nonprofit housing in Ontario.

At the helm of WoodGreen for 36 years, Smith started working at the social services agency in 1978 when only 40

people worked there.

Today, the $40-million organization has 650 staff members and 1,000 volunteers who serve more than 37,000 clients each year.

The awards were handed out Nov. 16 by the Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association, which serves as the voice of non-profit housing in Ontario.

Its 760-member organizations operate more than 168,000 non-profit housing units in more than 220 communities across the province.

MP Kellway releases paper on Urban Affairs After two-and-half years of consulting Canadians, Be a c h e s - E a s t Yo rk M P Matthew Kellway has launched his White Paper on Urban Affairs.

“The majority of us lead lives that are urban, from downtowns to suburbs to places in between. We have a national interest in ensur-

ing the success of our cities,” Kellway said during a Nov. 6 press conference,.

The paper, which is built on a vision pioneered by the late federal NDP leader Jack Layton to put Canada’s cities at the centre of the political map in Ottawa, aims to set out a vision of Canadian cities with modern, innova-

tive economies, with the tools for prosperity and mitigating global warming more equally shared.

Some of the topics in the agenda include the emergence of global urbanism, the implications of connectivity, knowledge infrastructure built infrastructure and social infrastructure.

Toronto’s Community Police Liaison Committees looking for a new image MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Volunteer committees that work with Toronto’s police know you probably haven’t heard of them, and they want to change that.

“We could be more than what we’re doing,” Bruce Erskine told a meeting of the Toronto Police Services Board last Thursday.

Erskine is a member of a Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC), a civilian group attached to each police division in the city.

The CPLCs, as well as Community Consultative Committees, which deal with cultural or religious minority groups, all meet monthly, or at least four times a year.

A report CPLC representatives including Erskine presented to the board a year ago said the committees “are not well known,” adding many “are missing out on the opportunity of reaching out to the larger popula-

tion,” and have “lackluster relationships” with the police force and each other.

The committees are “not promoting community safety effectively,” and ought to make more use of Toronto’s media, and social media to better promote themselves, the report says.

The CPLC volunteers want to produce a guidebook for the committees that identifies best ways to work and makes them more visible in their communities, he said.

A draft of the guidebook should be ready for each group by February, said Tim Kocur, a volunteer for the CPLC 52 Division.

Kocur and Erskine said volunteers want to consult with leaders and members of the force in 2015, and want to launch a rebranding of CPLCs, one which Kocur said will probably include a new name.

At last Thursday’s meeting, the board didn’t approve their request for $25,000 to help with the rebranding.

Though he welcomed the idea, Scarborough Councillor Michael Thompson said the report doesn’t speak about young people, and said many CPLC members are seniors and professionals, but many matters they deal with involve local youths.

Kocur conceded CPLCs are “probably not representative” of young people.

He added people must be a signed-up member to be part of a CPLC, which could be a barrier to some.

Erskine said the group is considering creating a “youth component” for all the committees and will encourage them to hold public meetings in different locations to increase their profile.

Children can also bring their letters to Santa Claus to the parade where they will be collected for direct delivery to the Jolly Old E l f ’s h o m e in the North Pole.

Following the parade, community members are welcome to attend a special post-parade gathering at Community Centre 55.

The celebration, which serves as the official launch of the 33rd annual Share-

A number of events are planned for the coming weeks to raise much-needed funds for the annual program.
