Fresh, new look for your paper
BACK TO SCHOOL
You may have noticed a fresh look on top of your Beach-Riverdale Mirror today. It’s part of our affirmation that community comes first. In the past, you may have noticed the key word in our flag – or masthead as we call it – was The Mirror. Now, the key word is Beach. As well, you’ll note the colourful nature of the flag – done in colours where we believe there is a community affinity. “But the newspaper’s flag – or masthead – is only that, a graphic presentation. What really counts is the job we do covering the neighbourhoods of your community,” said Editor-in-Chief Peter Haggert. As always, we invite your feedback.

$1.9 billion port lands plan unveiled DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Just a year after council balked at a vision of mega-malls, monorails and a giant Ferris wheel for the city’s waterfront, Toronto’s executive committee will be looking at a more modest proposal for the redevelopment of Toronto’s port lands. The proposed $1.9 billion plan is a result of a year of study and re-examination of the plan to redevelop the eastern waterfront and
port lands that came about after council rejected a scheme put forward by city councillor and brother to the mayor Doug Ford, that would have torn up much of the work that had been done to date. Ford had promoted a plan that would have included a monorail through the 900-acre site, a massive hotel, shopping mall and a giant Ferris wheel similar to the London Eye. The new plan focusses on building up the infrastructure in the poorly

serviced port lands north of the shipping channel, and opening up some of those lands for redevelopment. At the same time, it preserves existing uses on the lands – mostly in the southern areas – that are deemed to be both long-term and essential to the city’s redevelopment. “We’ve identified certain port users that are going to have to stay there for a long time to support the city,” said John Campbell, president and CEO of Waterfront Toronto.
“Concrete, for example – you can’t bring in concrete from Oshawa. So we’ve identified many of the uses that have to stay.” The plan likewise remains largely silent on the development of Lake Ontario Park in other parts of the port lands. That, according to Campbell, will have to be done on a piecemeal basis. “We have a master plan to look at how we can build that incrementally,” said Campbell. “Look >>>REVISED, page 7

centuries-old tradition took place late last week in the port lands as dozens of Cirque du Soleil crew members raised the blue and yellow big top for the Montrealbased company’s newest touring creation, Amaluna. The production’s 65 trailer, 2,000 ton convoy, which up until Aug. 24 was in Quebec City, arrived in Toronto on Wednesday, Aug. 29. A crew of nearly 70 men and women, 25 of whom are special “fly-in” labourers specifically brought in for the production’s set up and tear down, worked feverishly for several hours Thursday to prepare the local site for the raising of the big top. For the next several days, crew members worked around the clock to set up the Cirque du Soleil village. The entire site takes eight days to set up including the installation of the entrance, hospitality and rehearsal tents, box office, administrative offices and kitchen. About 200 local people have also been hired as support staff for Amaluna’s local run, which features a cast of 52 artists, who arrived in the city this past Monday to begin training and rehearsing for the production at its temporary home in the port lands. “Toronto has always been very good to us and we’re very, very happy to perform here. It’s a great honour for us to be here in Toronto,” said Jamie Reilly, a 10-year Cirque employee, who serves as the company manager for Amaluna, the name of the mysterious island where the story unfolds. The name takes its cue from the word ‘ama’, which refers to mother in several languages, and ‘luna’, the moon, a symbol of fertility and the mother-daughter relationship and the idea of goddess and protector of the planet. Charged with overseeing all aspects of the show from the site to the crew to the production, Reilly said for the most part Cirque du Soleil shows use the same sized tents, but what changes the most is what goes on inside the 2,600seat big top.
AMALUNA: In preparation for Cirque du Soleil’s newest show Amaluna which opens today under the big top in the port lands, members of the cast were busy this week in rehearsal. Pictured here are cast members rehearsing in the giant ‘waterbowl’ (Luliia Mykhailova, above), on the uneven bars (top right) and on the ‘teeterboard’ (at right). Below, is the ‘big top’ getting its finishing touches last Thursday.
‘Toronto has always been very good to us and we’re very, very happy to perform here.’ ~ Jamie Reilly, production manager “What really, really changes is the show itself,” she said just minutes after the raising of the blue and yellow grand chapiteau last Thursday afternoon. “Everything that changes is what’s inside the big top ... the set, the décor and the stage.” Reilly said Amaluna’s director, Diane Paulus, is aiming to make people feel like they’re entering “a completely different universe” when they step inside the grand chapiteau to attend Amaluna. “People will be very surprised to see a huge water bowl on stage. “It’s the first time we’re using one for a travelling show,” said Reilly, who is affectionately known as the ‘Mayor of the Village.’ “It’s an amazing show.” Aside from offering eye-catching decor and a breath-taking stage, Amaluna features an engaging female-inspired
storyline, one that pays tribute to the work and voice of women. The cast of Amaluna, the story of a mysterious island governed by Goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon, is also 70 per cent female, while its band is entirely made up of women. “Amaluna isn’t about making political or feminist statements but more about putting women at the forefront,” Reilly said. “Men do still play an intricate part in the yin and yang but you need that balance in society.” Amaluna, Cirque du Soleil’s 32nd production since 1984, officially opens Thursday, Sept. 6 and is slated to run until Sunday, Nov. 4. n Visit www.cirquedusoleil. com/amaluna for more details about the show as well as ticket and show schedule information.

Share views on riding changes T
oronto residents will be impacted in a number of ways if proposed changes are made to federal riding boundaries within the city. The changes usually come about every 10 years to reflect shifts in population and ensure each riding serves an approximately equal number of voters across a particular province. What that means for Toronto is an increase from the current 23 ridings (one of which crossed the municipal border of Toronto our view and Durham Region) to 25 ridings, all of which would be New boundaries contained within Toronto. The boundary changes mean more will see Canada’s Parliament increase in size by 30 seats to power in Toronto 338. Fifteen of those proposed seats are in Ontario, which means the provincial Legislature will increase by that number as well. Torontonians need to be aware, though, that these changes reflect the continuing growth taking place in the 905 regions surrounding our city. While Toronto essentially gains two seats, the 905 will see an increase of nine. The Hamilton and Barrie areas also each gain a new seat. Federally and provincially, the gain to Toronto’s influence is tiny – but combined with our neighbours in the 905, the Greater Toronto Area’s power has grown substantially. This is hugely important for our city in areas such as transit and economic development. What is needed is a willingness for federal and provincial representatives to work together for the good of the entire GTA, not just the communities that elected them. Also of interest for Toronto residents is the impact the changes could have on Toronto Council. Redistribution would create a scenario in which Toronto Council could increase from 44 members to 50. Whether that will happen ultimately lies with the province, but the justification is there based on the number of proposed ridings. What is most needed now is feedback from Torontonians. Residents in southeast Scarborough must surely be pleased that they will not have to share their MP and MPP with Pickering; and North York residents should feel they will have a stronger voice with the addition of another riding – Don Valley North. North Toronto residents should also feel an increase in their voting power with redistribution creating a Mount Pleasant riding. Public hearings on the plans are set for Nov. 14 at the North York Civic Centre and Nov. 15 at Metro Hall. Also, contact your MP and share your views.

To the editor: If you are going to a garage sale, don’t steal from the people who are hosting it. I have had jewelry stolen at my garage sale and we are getting to a point where we are not going to have them any more if people are going to steal from us. Ask to purchase the item for less or don’t buy it, but don’t steal from a garage sale. People are trying to make a bit of cash with their stuff they are already getting rid of at a great price. You wouldn’t lie us to go to your garage sale or house and steal your stuff, so don’t do it to others. If you are that hard up for something, go on welfare. Remember, it is still a crime stealing from a garage sale. Police can be involved. Dorothy Hicks
Chicago’s waterfront a prime example for Toronto’s port lands I t was about a year ago this week, that Doug Ford started talking about Ferris wheels and monorails and gigantic shopping malls for Toronto’s port lands. It didn’t go well for him or that plan — but a year later, after having spent a few days in the Etobicoke North Councillor’s favourite town, Chicago, I can see how he got worked up about it. Chicago is world-famous for many things — the deepness of its pizza, its intricate history of crime and corruption, its fantastic architecture — but for a visitor staying in a downtown hotel, I have to say: nothing beats its waterfront. Jogging and biking trails wend up the river and along the waterfront for miles. There are marinas and parks and an aquarium. There is even a giant Ferris wheel, and yes, the view from the top of it is spectacular. Councillor Ford’s family
THE CITY
david nickle
business takes him to Chicago frequently; and it’s not hard to see how flitting between that place and the rust-belt splendour of much of Toronto’s waterfront could make a fellow impatient. Next week, Doug’s brother Mayor Rob Ford will be looking at the plan that emerged from the wreckage of the dream of quick commercialization of the port lands. Council asked for it last year — a revised plan to see exactly what the city and the development industry could do to actually make something of its waterfront. It’s not a job for the impatient. While there’s great
potential for development in the port lands — there are a total of 900 acres of land ripe for the picking — very little can be developed without some very major infrastructure. In total, the consultants hired on to look at the area estimated it will take $1.9 billion in infrastructure improvement to make the lands worth anything in terms of development. When asked, developers said even if the city sold them the whole thing for $1, they wouldn’t be able to build. As local councillor Paula Fletcher pointed out Tuesday, even Ford’s Ferris wheel wouldn’t have held its ground without $61 million in flood control work. Building anywhere in the port lands is going to take a long view. The $1.9 billion is only addressing development north of the shipping channel; the lands to the south of the channel are either leased to businesses that are likely to be
needed there for awhile. The northern development is going to take a colossal buy-in from the developers and some public-sector involvement too. It could literally take generations to see the whole thing built out. That’s not necessarily a discouraging thing; Chicago’s waterfront today is after all the culmination of a plan more than a century old, using land given for public use along the lake. The battles for a public waterfront were mostly fought in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, just as Toronto’s battles were waged in the late 20th century and continue in the 21st. Which is to say, we’ll get there eventually. There is precedent. n David Nickle is The Villager’s city hall reporter. His column appears every Thursday. Contact him at dnickle@insidetoronto.com

I felt motivated by people on social media who post about working to improve their lives.” An official volunteer member of the Mo Sistas Toronto campaign, Court said 30 Days of MoSelf is also a way to raise awareness about her upcoming Movember campaign. “It’s my way to prepare for the Mo Sista campaign,” she said. “I’ve received a lot of feedback from people inspired and encouraged by what I’m doing. My goal is to inspire men and women to get healthy.” An avid Movember supporter, last year Court posted photos of herself on her blog wearing a different moustache and costume each day.

Caron Court, a social media savvy Leslieville resident, is committed to bettering her overall health and wellness and wants to inspire others to do the same. The four-year local resident, whom The Mirror profiled last November in an article about her whimsical Mo Sista campaign, embarked on a 30-day journey last month called 30 Days of MoSelf but has since made the decision to continue with her new positive way of life. “I reached the point where I needed to do something for me,” said Court during a recent interview. “I started with 30 days but I hope to continue with this healthy lifestyle. It’s such a learning process to figure out how to balance everything in your life.” Throughout the month of August, the busy single mom of a toddler son, blogged about her experiences as well as the local businesses and service providers that have
awareness about the cause while helping change the face of men’s health. With 30 Days of MoSelf, Court is aiming to inspire others, especially men, to take the time to take better care of themselves. She took on the monthlong challenge after seeing the positive results her good friend Pete Bombaci, national director of Movember Canada, experienced after making a concerted commitment to improve his life on a number of levels. “I saw the difference it made in his life,” said Court, who is now eating better, working on improving her personal relationships and getting fit. She’s walking and cycling more, practicing yoga, taking spinning classes and meditating. In the last month, Court also did acupuncture, visited a chiropractor, and even gave infrared sauna treatments and vitamin IV therapy a shot. She also recently did a naturopathic detox eliminating gluten, dairy, sugar

Throughout, Court tries to make use of local resources like farmers’ markets, and local fitness studios and natural health providers. “There are so many interesting resources and services right in our own backyard to get healthy and live well. ... (Leslieville) is a great place for healthy living,” said Court, who six weeks into her new lifestyle said she’s confident she can continue with many of the positive changes she’s made in her life and plans on blogging about her new healthy lifestyle on a weekly basis.

The final report on the accelerated port lands plan is now available online for public viewing at bit.ly/PFVVOI.
Revised assessment >>>from page 1 at Tommy Thompson Park. That was being built with one truck of fill at a time. I expect that Lake Ontario Park will be the same.” The rest of the plan is a slow game as well. Immediately, the city and Waterfront Toronto will have to complete a revised environmental assessment to begin on a flood protection plan that will alter the mouth of the Don River. That will take between nine and 18 months to complete. Assuming the city can fund and begin work on the $61 million Don River project, some development could begin very shortly, in the Cousins and Polsons Quay areas. Toronto’s Economic Development head Mike Williams estimated new developments could be starting between two and five years from now. The plan overall anticipates a 30 year window, however, as a combination of public infrastructure such as transit is mixed with privately-funded infrastructure such as sewers. The plan will also require more money than the consultants were able to anticipate – as much as $189 million and as little as $118 million depending upon the time frame for development and other policy factors. Local councillor Paula Fletcher was supportive of the plan, calling it “a big reality check.” “All of the plans that were put forward last year, they couldn’t have been realized because of the limitations that existed with the environmental assessment,” she said. “As well, there are financials now that weren’t there before. It’s amazing what they accomplished in a year.”

TTC riders still in the dark for Internet service Request for proposal issued to telecommunications companies RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Hong Kong’s had it since 2007. New York City, London and Paris have all recently introduced it. But when it comes to wireless Internet, it’s unclear when Torontonians will join their international counterparts surfing the ‘net, updating social media statuses or engaging in other online activities while on public transit. GO Transit and TTC say they’re prioritizing implementation of Wi-Fi. But spokespersons for both transit agencies were unable to say when exactly that will be.
Photo/TCN
Wi-Fi on subway trains would allow riders with smart phones to access the internet while on the go.
Malon Edwards of Metrolinx, the provincial Crown agency tasked with running GO, said Wi-Fi is a priority of the transit author-
ity’s passenger charter, which promises riders a “comfortable travel experience.” He said a rollout is tentatively scheduled for sometime
in 2013, but Wi-Fi planning is still in the early stages. “There is no firm date for implementation,” said Edwards recently. Meanwhile the TTC, which has discussed since 2010 installing a wireless network to allow phone and Internet use in the subway, plans to provide an update during a board meeting sometime in the fall, said Jessica Martin. “There hasn’t been much movement,” said Martin, who works in corporate communications for TTC. “We have limited info at the moment.” What is known, according to a May report presented to the TTC board, is a request for proposal (RFP) was issued in May by the TTC for three
pre-qualified telecommunications companies: Bell Mobility, Broadcast Australia and ExteNet Systems, based in Chicago. The winning bidder will be responsible for designing and installing a wireless network to work in TTC subway stations and platforms, but not tunnels. The provider would cover the estimated $50-million installation cost, in addition to an annual fee to cover operational costs. To satisfy a requirement of the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunication Commission (CRTC) customers of all available cellular carriers would have equal access to the network,
Real estate
no matter which company is ultimately chosen as the wireless provider. Questions remain as to whether the wireless service will require users to pay for access or whether it will be offered at no extra cost beyond fare entry to the subway. Offering a free Wi-Fi service that requires users to watch ads in exchange for access is growing increasingly popular, with global spending on Internet advertising rising more than 30 per cent in the last three years according to a recent report by forecaster ZenithOptimedia. Whether free or not, Mihnea Stoian believes in an age of smart phones and tablet computers it’s unacceptable Toronto transit vehicles are not providing wireless connections.

Murder victim’s aunt pleads for community to come forward JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com The aunt of a 24-year-old, eastend man brutally beaten to death is pleading for members of the community to come
forward with information. A life-long east end resident and the oldest of five siblings, George Fawell’s lifeless body was found in Jimmie Simpson Park on Aug. 24.
“I am asking for members from my community to work with the police to help solve who did this to my George,” said Deanna Parlee, in a press conference held at Toronto

Any persons who believe they may be entitled to a portion of these funds should contact the Compensation Fund directly. COMPENSATION FUND

Police headquarters last week, flanked by officers from the Homicide Squad. “We all miss him and we want his killers brought to justice. (His siblings) are having a very, very hard time right now.” Police believe those who killed Fawell, who was wellknown in the community and often hung out in the Leslieville park, are still in the area and urged anyone with information to contact them. “The answer is definitely there in the 55 Division area,” said Det. Sgt. Gary Giroux of the Homicide Squad, urging anyone with any information about Fawell’s death to come forward. An autopsy determined Fawell, who had celebrated his 24th birthday just days before he was found dead, died from stab wounds to the chest as well as chopping wounds to his neck and head. Giroux said in his 16 years on the job Fawell’s case is one of the worst he’s seen “in terms of sharp force injuries.” “It was quite unusual for someone like myself to see.
George Fawell
It was a sustained attack,” he said, adding the killing was likely “emotionally driven” and came from a place of “extreme brutality and anger” and “retaliation.” He called Fawell’s death “entirely over-the-top personal” adding police believe it may be linked to outstanding debts. However, Parlee, who last saw Fawell for a few minutes on Thursday, Aug. 23, isn’t aware her nephew owes anyone money. She said her nephew, who called her “mom” as she’d been his legal guardian for a
number of years, lived with challenges, but was “trying to get his life in order.” Further, Giroux said Fawell had “some dated criminal history” but nothing related to his murder. He also said the victim was not involved in gang activity. “It’s a very, very active investigation and we’re encouraged by the community’s involvement,” Giroux said. Fawell’s body was found around 10:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 24 near the train tracks in the north end of the park by two Salvation Army outreach workers who regularly check in on homeless people who hang out there. Police believe he was viciously killed sometime after 9:30 p.m. the night before or in the early morning hours of Aug. 24. Fawell’s murder is the city’s 34th of 2012. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416808-7387 or 416-808-5500, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).
