On Gerrard Street in busy East Chinatown sits the tall Eastdale Collegiate Institute. A concrete institution at first glance, but climb the school’s five storeys and you’ll discover Eden.

On the school’s rooftop, a terrace opens onto Toronto’s skyline; high above the neighbourhood’s surrounding buildings. It’s there that row upon row of fresh garden fruits, veggies and herbs sit growing, waiting for harvest.

The produce is there as part of a collaborative project by the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and FoodShare Toronto – a social enterprise program that promotes urban agriculture and food literacy among students.

Throughout the summer, 10 students from Eastdale CI and Bendale Business and Technical Institute worked together to build the rooftop garden and harvest another, smaller space, which the program built in past years at Bendale.

“So far I’ve heard a lot of people are enjoying it and are glad we built it up here,” said Brooke Heath, 18, a Grade 12 student at Eastdale who worked in the garden for seven weeks >>>SCHOOL’S, page 9

Dine Her celebrates love gone awry – and zombies REBECCA FIELD bsrm@insidetoronto.com A dinner date gone wrong doesn’t usually include a marriage proposal by a zombie, but in the comedy Dine Her at the George Street Diner (129 George St.), this is exactly what you can expect.

The comedy is about love and survival in a city surrounded by zombies. The play is run by Realspace Theatre and will make its way to the diner Oct. 24 to 26 at 7 p.m.

It’s a new kind of dinner theatre inspired by the location, instead of simply taking place in the location.

“It happens all around you,” said Leslieville resident Bruce Hunter, writer and resident

zombie. “It’s about love gone awry under an unusual circumstance.”

The play came to be after diner owner Ash Farrelly approached Hunter with the idea they should use the space for a show. The old-fashioned, small diner had already been used in a movie starring Daniel Radcliffe (The F Word), as well as Robocop.

“This room is a great room to do something in because you can be seen no matter where you sit. Visually, it’s great,” said Farrelly, who has a supporting role in the show.

Farrelly took over the George Street Diner six years ago, when it was in need of refreshing.

“It used to be a little run

down, little room of sadness,” Farrelly said. “It was needing a bit of love, that’s all.”

After Farrelly approached Hunter, a regular , about doing a show, Hunter sat in the diner for an evening and wrote the entire show in his head.

“It wasn’t that I was trying to do something about zombies, it just sort of came out of the woodwork in a way,” said Hunter, who saw the large windows of the diner and took them as an opportunity to use the space creatively.

“It’s very fast moving and the audience doesn’t know what’s going to happen because we’re talking to them and including them in the show,” Hunter said. “They’re right there. We’re in their faces.”

The show has some original music and a zombie-themed menu to accompany the evening.

“I think it’s neat that it not only happens in this space, but it was inspired by this space,” Wood said. The pair have been approached by a car wash and a tennis club to have shows written specifically for those spaces.

“People seem to have a really good time,” said Wood.

“That’s the other thing about these venues – when we come back in for the curtain call, we’re chatting with everyone.”

Tickets are $50 and include dinner. They are available at dinher2.eventbrite.ca or first come first serve at the door.

eadership is an important skill to acquire in life. However, many people, in particular youngsters in at-risk neighbourhoods do not have as many opportunities to gain those important skills.

Thankfully the charitable organization Kids Now has taken up the challenge, offering an afterschool program where youth in grades 7 and 8 can empower themselves and gain confidence.

Youth volunteer for the 12-week program and are paired with mentors who help drive home the importance of self-esteem, setting goals, communication, conflict resolution, and stress management.

All skills are rooted in making the right choices in our view life, staying in school, and taking part in extra-curricuAfter-school lar activities and volunteerin the community. initiative benefits ingThe last point, though no entire community more special than the others, is one that speaks to how a strong community is created – by everyone being an active part of that community, which helps make that community a better place to live, work, and enjoy life.

Kids Now mentors come from all walks of life including corporate employees, university students, and even former Kids Now participants.

Kids Now is a chance for corporations, companies, Torontonians and even politicians to become mentors to youth.

This is something that would not only help the lives of youth, but create a community, a city where people believe in themselves, which leads to believing in their city and the neighbourhoods they call home.

The Kids Now program flourished in several schools in Toronto, in particular St. Luigi Catholic School where students raised funds for Meagan’s Walk, as well as supported a village in Kenya and ran a food and clothing drive to help the less fortunate.

It is obvious that by giving youth the right skills – leadership being just one – they will take up a challenge and become better citizens. It is now time for mentors of various stripes to help mould even more youth to become all they can be.

Committee move could vault bike lanes into election issue Just in time for the 2014 municipal election, it looks like Toronto council is going to be talking big bike lanes again.

This week, Toronto’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee voted to re-start the environmental assessment of bike lanes along Bloor Street – a route that is both a practical goal and symbolic grail for Toronto cycling advocates.

It should also send a shiver up the spine of any regular downtown bicycle commuter.

Just about four years ago, cycling advocates convinced the council at the time to put bike lanes on Jarvis Street, and nearly got a separated bike lane pilot project on University Avenue, too.

The Jarvis bike lane was good for cyclists, but better for politicians willing to stir up anger over what they characterized as those cyclists’ sinister and overweening ambitions.

david nickle the city There wasn’t much consensus in the 2010 mayoralty race, but nearly everyone agreed that there was a war on, that war was against “the car,” and Jarvis Street was its battleground.

And so it was that the new council voted to pull the lanes out and widen the road again, against the wishes of the local councillor and community.

As an afterthought a year later, council ordered the city to stop studying that other big bike lane project along Bloor Street.

And now, it is on the verge of starting up again, and from a transportation planning point of view, it makes a great deal of sense.

The city is studying a bikeway along Dupont just to the north of Bloor.

What happens there affects what happens on Bloor and vice versa.

“

A Bloor Street bike lane’s a good idea – just as it would be to extend the bike lanes back east along the Danforth.

And it’s not for nothing that Bloor is such a grail for bike nuts.

Don’t despair All the public transit along Bloor is below ground, which means cyclists need contend neither with buses nor streetcar tracks, and it crosses many pedestrian- and bike-friendly communities already.

It sounds perfect. But going into an election next year, it’s just as perfect an example for nay-saying politicians to hold up as the latest example of a permanent war against automobiles and their drivers.

It’s hard to see how pushing along with even an environmental assessment now will result in anything but a push-back from what has previously shown itself to be a powerful anti-bike sentiment in a large part of the electorate.

This is not to say that bike commuters should despair and the city should shelve what is a good plan.

A Bloor Street bike lane’s a good idea – just as it would be to extend the bike lanes back east along the Danforth.

It would make the city safer, greener, and maybe even a bit more physically fit on average as commuters from Etobicoke to Scarborough and in between saw a better option in biking.

But wouldn’t it be nice if it didn’t also fuel the kind of divisive and disingenuous politicking that burned so bright in 2010?

Sandra Bussin considers running for her former city council seat DANIELA PITEO bsrm@insidetoronto.com Will she or won’t she?

Former councillor Sandra Bussin is contemplating a return to municipal politics.

When she decides, she will be running against Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon.

The last election saw Bussin lose her seat in a landslide vote to McMahon, but she said it may be time to return.

“I was the most visible and senior member of council. I was the one to beat,” Bussin said. “When you are in that role, you are the one the people will want to topple.”

But recently she has been urged to run because individuals have expressed a lack of leadership at city hall.

She appears ready to take on Mayor Rob Ford’s agenda and a return to her old post.

“I see him as a lone wolf,” said Bussin of Ford.

“I think there is a need for someone to challenge him, which hasn’t happened much in the last term.

“I think at the moment there seems to be a nervousness of taking him on, personally I don’t get it.”

Bussin isn’t a stranger to challenge and as a former speaker, she said she can work with anyone.

“I’m not really interested

in party politics, never have been, because I really think you have to work with people to get the results you want.”

While councillor for Ward 32, Bussin spearheaded projects that are still a point of pride in the area, she said.

The Beaches library was a renovation project Bussin fought for.

“It wasn’t on the list (of capital projects), but I kept plugging away at it saying it needed help and it takes votes on council. You can’t do anything single-handedly,”

Bussin said.

There isn’t one particular issue that might incite Bussin to officially run, but the current transit issue in the city is a vital concern.

“The transit portfolio is absolutely critical to the vitality of the city,” Bussin said.

“We are losing economically due to the fact we can’t get where we want to go.”

Bussin is well aware transit is an area of contention with many residents across the city, as is development, but she isn’t one to shy away from a difficult situation.

According to Bussin, compromise and balance must be established between the community and council.

As a realtor and longtime resident, she knows the area well.

“I grew up in this community, my parents before me, and I raised my family here.

It’s where I’ve known a lot of personal and professional enjoyment. I’ve done many things for the community and I’d like to continue,” said Bussin.

“I think there are a lot of things that can be done and I haven’t seen much change over the last three and a half years.”

Councillor McMahon to run for second term DANIELA PITEO bsrm@insidetoronto.com Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon said she is staying true to her word.

At the onset of her 2010 campaign for municipal office, she declared she would run twice.

“I committed to two terms when I ran the first time,” McMahon said. “I love my job.

I like helping the community and empowering residents to get together and form community groups.”

McMahon is intent on reaching out to as many residents as she can to become active members of the community.

“I have a goal to create a “friends of” group for every park in our ward and we are well on our way,” McMahon

Ward 32 Councillor MaryMargaret McMahon.

said. Ward 32 is currently in the midst of many construction and revitalization projects McMahon said she would like to see through to completion.

She said work needs to be done across the city.

“I keep pushing for better transit citywide and urban agriculture.”

The Beach visioning study and urban design guidelines are a point of pride for the councillor who said she, her staff and the community worked arduously to get off the ground.

“We worked hard to create guidelines that would create Queen Street,” McMahon said.

In the 2010 election, McMahon enjoyed a landslide victory, defeating incumbent councillor Sandra Bussin, who she may battle again at the polls in 2014. McMahon said she has felt the strong support from the community and hopes it carries forward into the next election.

“May the best woman win.”

Doctor’s research includes trials of everyday people >>>from page 1 The $50,000 grant will enable Nelson and her team to define best rehabilitation processes for patients with numerous medical conditions.

“Eighty per cent of stroke patients have multiple chronic conditions,” said Nelson, a Riverdale resident.

Multimorbidity – the co-

existence of two or more long-term conditions – is often the norm in patients today, with stroke patients commonly suffering from hypertension, diabetes, arthritis or obesity.

According to Nelson, optimal rehabilitation in a patient cannot occur until it is understood how each condition affects the other.

“When we do the gold

standard of research, or the randomized control trial, we basically try to control all the variables that could interfere with our testing,” Nelson said. “Often, in randomized control trials, people who have co-morbid conditions or people who are elderly are often excluded.”

This gold standard in research, Nelson said, is falling short because the testing

does not reflect the average patient.

“If you exclude the people who look like the ones we see everyday, then is the best possible research a match for the people we actually see?” Nelson said. “We need to do research with patients who look like the ones we actually see.

“What we don’t know is if the research studies that other scientists did to develop those strategies were tested on patients who had a stroke, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis et cetera ...”

The procedures used to rehabilitate patients needs to better reflect the individual.

“The dilemma is if someone already has arthritis and there are things they cannot do, how do you take that into account when you start designing exercise and treatment plans,” Nelson said.

“It’s a very complicated scenario because clinicians do a good job already, but they are doing a good job because they are good at their

job,” Nelson said.

Nelson feels it is a real conundrum – doing a good job because one is good at their job. “We want to create guidelines and tool kits so everyone has access to information to help them do their job,” Nelson said. “Our project will provide some of that so (clinicians) won’t have to do a one-off decision all the time, they will actually be able to trust the evidence we bring

to them matches the people seen daily. You can use this to make decisions about patient care and how you want to treat (a person).”

Nelson specifically joined the Bridgepoint team to research multimorbidity in stroke patients and this grant is the springboard for the research to develop.

The CIHR received 82 peerreviewed projects. Nelson and her team ranked sixth.

School’s rooftop garden stocks restaurants, hospitality program >>>from page 1 this summer as part of Focus on Youth – a government funded program for students that offers meaningful, paid work.

Focus on Youth hired five of the 10 students involved in the project.

The program had 100 per cent perfect attendance for the summer.

“Before (the rooftop) wasn’t all that great, and now everyone can enjoy it,” said Heath about the garden which now boasts a group of picnic benches among the rows of planters.

“The FoodShare staff, they were not only working with them, but they were mentoring as well,” said Eastdale principal Martha Bartley.

“It sort of opened up a whole world of jobs and employment and what they could do and boosted their self confidence.”

Staff at Eastdale approached FoodShare initially with the desire to do some beekeeping on the rooftop.

Unable to get the proper permits, they decided to use the space for the garden, and ended up receiving an $80,000 grant from Livegreen Toronto.

Where a rooftop tennis court used to sit, there is now enough produce to stock local restaurant menus, sum-

The two schools have now made over $13,000 that is being put directly back into running the program.

She noted Eastdale is the most involved school they have worked with so far, with most of the staff getting involved in using the garden.

Students will move inside during the winter to grow seedlings, which will be then be planted in the garden when the weather warms up. They will participate throughout the year with workshops, culinary arts classes,

Brandon Pirri, who grew up in the Beach, likely won’t repeat as American Hockey League (AHL) scoring champion if he keeps playing the way he does.

In fact, he might not even make it to the AHL. That’s because he’s finally achieved his goal – a shot at playing in the NHL with the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks. And as most Leaf fans now know, he’s making the best of his opportunity, so far.

In the Blackhawks 3-1 win over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday, Pirri contributed a goal and an assist and was named the game’s first star on NHL.com He’s played three of four games since being called up from the Blackhawks’ AHL affiliate in Rockford. On Oct. 17, Pirri scored his first NHL goal against visiting St. Louis.

FoodShare Toronto was founded in 1985 to address hunger in the city.

Maximize profits on your investment property Those who have already invested in real estate know how difficult it can be to maintain a property much less improve it, which should be high on an investor’s priority list. But improving a property does not have to involve a complete overhaul or any other dramatic changes. In fact, there are

several simple ways investors can improve their real estate investments and improve their chances of turning a large profit when they decide to sell a property.

Hire a property management firm Some real estate investors,

especially those new to the business who just purchased an investment and have little money to spare, shy away from hiring a property management firm. But such a company is worth the expense for investors with little time or know-how with regard to fixing a home. A property man-

agement firm will ensure the building or units are kept in shape, and depending on your agreement with the company, may even take care of cleaning vacant apartments, readying them for showing and renting them to new tenants. Perhaps the biggest advantage to working with an effective property management firm is the likelihood that they will turn over the vacant apartment quickly, ensuring you aren’t losing money when tenants move out.

Carefully vet prospective tenants It’s understandable that investors want to get a building occupied as quickly as possible so they can use tenants’ rents to pay for the property.

But bad tenants can cause damage to the property, and their behavior might encourage reliable fellow tenants to find a new living situation.

When looking to fill a vacancy, establish a minimum income requirement for prospective tenants and ask applicants to produce proof of income and

references from past landlords.

This increases the chances you will find a respectful tenant who’s fully capable of paying their rent on time.

Work quickly Few people want to rent forever, so expect significant turnover, especially if your investment property has multiple dwellings. If you aren’t working with a property management company, an easy way to maximize your profits on an investment property is to work quickly when turning apartments over

after a tenant moves out. This includes painting and cleaning the apartment, and the process should go smoothly. A unit with just minor wear and tear should take one week or less to get ready to show to prospective tenants, and the unit should be vacant for only one month before new tenants move in. Anything longer and you’re losing money you don’t have to lose.

Upgrade appliances While there may not be a yard to entice renters if you purchased an apartment complex, curb appeal can apply to an apartment’s interior. One of the more notable eye-catchers to prospective renters is updated appliances, especially since appliances may be the only items actually in the apartment when it is shown. Stainless steel appliances provide an instant upgrade over older appliances that may appear dated and are certain to make a strong first impression on prospective renters, many of whom would be willing to pay more in rent for a unit with update appliances.

Checking the competition Road Sweeping Operation Toronto & East York District Transportation Services is getting ready to perform sweeping operations on the streets of Toronto & East York this fall.The purpose of the sweeping is to collect leaves that fall, naturally, onto the street.

RACE: St. Dennis Catholic School’s Miku Martineau, left, looks over her shoulder at Holy Rosary Catholic S c h o o l ’s K a t e Valdez as they race for the finish line during the Catholic elementary school south region cross country meet at Ashbridges Bay Park Friday.

All streets will be swept on two occasions.The operation will continue until November 29, 2013.The map shows the area where the sweeping operation will take place.

Please do not rake leaves onto the roadway or sidewalks from your property. City by-law officers will be enforcing the City of Toronto by-law that relates to the use of streets and sidewalks. Raking leaves onto the roadway is a by-law offence and could result in charges being laid. It is an offence to store, place or dispose of material, including fallen leaves in such a way that it may enter onto a street by any means, including wind or water. In addition, raking, blowing, placing or dumping leaves onto City property (sidewalk, roadway, catch basins, etc.,) can create dangerous conditions, cause flooding on the roadways or on property or cause accidents.

Here’s how to put leaves out for collection: Use reusable containers (any rigid open-top container such as a garbage can, bushel basket, green plastic yard waste bin– no lids) or kraft paper yard waste bags.

Put leaves at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled yard waste collection day. Check your collection calendar for your yard waste collection schedule and more helpful hints.

Sorry, no plastic bags: The City does not collect leaves and yard waste in clear plastic bags or Halloween-themed plastic bags. (If you use these decorative bags, please empty the contents into one of the approved containers listed above before placing out for collection.

Ways to reduce the amount of leaves you put at the curb for collection: Feed leaves to your backyard composter now, plus stockpile leaves to add as dry material during the winter.

Here’s what the City collects as yard waste: Leaves, plant/tree trimmings, weeds and brush. Branches measuring less than three inches or 7.5 cm in diameter should be tied in bundles no longer than 4 feet or 1.2 min length and 2 feet or 0.6 m in diameter. Pumpkins and waste fruit from trees in your yard are also accepted.

Sorry, we can’t accept: Soil, sod, grass clippings, logs or tree stumps.

For more information on yard waste, please call 311 or visit us at www.toronto.ca/compost/yardwaste.htm If you have any questions about the service, call 311
