Project to help counter female stereotypes
OPINION Mammoliti’s troubled past makes him a poor pick for Tory /4

Man charged in High Park Avenue stabbing A man in his 20s has been charged with second-degree murder and was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday morning following a fatal stabbing in an apartment build-
ing on High Park Avenue, on Tuesday. Police were called to the building at 8:40 p.m. where EMS found a man in an apartment with multiple stab wounds.
Believed to be in his 50s, according to Const. Victor Kwong, he was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police have not released name of the suspect or victim.
to announce the good news – albeit with a provocative flavour – that she is one of several female United Church ministers from across Canada who are posing for a calendar. This is not, however, the typical model calendar. It was created in an effort to counteract female stereotypes while supporting girls’ education. “It pokes fun at the stereotypes and asks us to look more deeply at how we look at each other – men, women, female, male, transgendered,” Gilmour said. The calendar was inspired by an experience Gilmour’s friend and colleague Trisha Elliot had while posing for a professional >>>CALENDAR, page 20
Bloor West boutique vandalized again LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Vandals have struck again. Bloor West Village clothing boutique Trove suffered yet another defacing at the hands of a vandal sometime Sunday night, co-owner Carolyn Eby reported. Again, the pride flag in the store’s front window was sprayed over with paint. “It’s pretty bold. I’m taking
it in stride. I kind of knew it wouldn’t be the end,” Eby said. “Someone doesn’t like my sign.” She says she’s in the midst of trying to figure out how to turn something so horrible into something good. Eby credits nearby Windermere United Church for flying its pride flag in solidarity and would love to see other businesses and stores >>>POLICE, page 8

Meeting set to discuss OMB fight of nine-storey condo Save our Village group hosts Dec. 16 consultation LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com
SINK OR SWIM: The annual Cardboard Boat Races came to St. Bishop Morrocco/ Thomas Merton Catholic Secondary School pool recently. Above, The St. Raymond Catholic School team tests the weight bearing qualities of its cardboard boat with Miro Ivicevic, left, Veronica Poweska, Matthew Coderniz, Autumn Morency, Vanessa Ferriera, Daniel Larosa and Matthew Oullet on board. At left, St. Nicholas of Bari Catholic School’s Jordan Regada and Andre Medeiros paddle to the finish line.
The Save Our Village group is hosting a community consultation meeting in advance of a January Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing that will set the precedent for the size of future buildings in Bloor West Village. The Bloor West Village Re s i d e n t s A s s o c i a t i o n (BWVRA), in conjunction with the Old Mill Community Association, the Swansea Area Ratepayers Association (SARA) and the High Park Residents Association, will host the Tuesday, Dec. 16 meeting to discuss the proposed nine-storey condominium for Bloor West and Durie streets. The focus of the meeting, said the BWVRA’s Steve Dewdney, is to consider what an alternative proposal could look like for the centre of the
village, as well as provide residents with the chance to ask questions of the community’s lawyer and planner, who are in the midst of building a case against the developer. “This development hits a chord – it will set a precedent for the building size of future developments,” Dewdney told The Villager. Ideally, he said, the Save Our Village group would have liked to collaborate with the developer rather than have to fight it at the OMB. However, thanks to the generosity of residents, the group has reached more than half of its $40,000 goal, the cost of fighting its case at the OMB, by its Christmas deadline. “We feel there are great examples of developers who have worked with the community,” said Krista Wylie, a BWVRA member. “We can rally to have our voices heard.”

Local BIAs win city awards LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com
Above, that’s all she can take – St. Raymond Catholic School‘s cardboard craft capsizes; while at left, St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School’s Yakub Benbenek, left, and Kuba Stanczak paddle smoothly through the waters. First place went to St. Raymond, second to Annunciation and third place to James Culnan.
Dewdney cited an 11-storey condo with commercial units and full replacement of 24 rental units by North Drive Investments at 1990 Bloor St. West as just one example of a developer working with the community. A Bloor West Village working group was key in shaping the condominium’s approval. The Humbertown development in Etobicoke is another example, said Wylie, in which the developer initially ignored the community, but later, with its input, the project was reduced from 21 towers at its highest to 12 storeys. The project’s open space grew from 2,236 square feet to 6,215 sq-feet as well. More than 40 people have registered to attend the Jan. 6 OMB hearing. Save Our Village welcomes all to attend the Dec. 16 meeting.
Just three years old and the Baby Point Gates Business Improvement Area (BIA) is an award winner. The local BIA was honoured for the most ‘Oustanding’ gateway at the annual Toronto Business Improvement Area Recognition Awards dinner, Tuesday, Dec. 2 at the Palais Royale Ballroom on Lake Shore Boulevard at Parkside Drive. “It’s nice to be appreciated for all the hard work,” said the Baby Point Gates BIA board member and chair of the restoration committee Danica Loncar. “(The gates) look fantastic. We’re honoured.” Restoring the 100-plusyear-old gates at Jane and Annette streets was a twoyear project. It was funded by the BIA with support from the city and the Baby Point Club. A focal point of the BIA and the surrounding area, the gates saw the addition of new

landscaping, upgraded and additional ground lighting not only for ambiance, but for safety as well, vintage reproductions of existing lanterns were constructed and new benches installed. A victim of graffiti, the gates’ stone and mortar were rehabilitated. A new plaque commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Robert Homes Smithdesigned gates and the
creation of the BIA. Loncar would like to give a shout out to principal architect Tom Ridout of the landscape architectural firm Fleisher Ridout Partnership Inc. Grateful for the city’s nomination, Loncar said the award was “a nice surprise.” “It was wonderful, a beautiful ceremony,” she said. “We’re really proud of our area and our membership.” Baby Point Gates wasn’t the only BIA to be recognized. Junction Gardens BIA received a ‘Master Plan’ award; Bloordale Village was acknowledged for its streetscape; Bloor West Village BIA received a volunteer award. In collaboration with city council, business owners and tenants have formed as many as 78 BIAs across Toronto to maintain safety, enhance the look of their neighbourhoods and attract businesses to the area.

Small measures can make a big impact on the transit file
Write us
G
etting people moving in this city – on our roads and transit routes – is a complicated, political endeavour. Historically, the file moves about as fast as the traffic on the Gardiner Expressway during rush hour, ever frustrating commuters whose lives are impacted daily by the city’s choked arteries. That’s why it’s refreshing to see some immediate, tangible measures being taken to ease our traffic woes. Mayor John Tory’s recently announced initiatives are minor in nature compared to talk of mass transit solutions, but they make the best of a difficult situation by effecting change now. And when compounded over time, these little measures may add up to major improvements. At least something’s being done, and our view that action is breathing some new life into the transit conversation Toronto. It’s critical we conReview small in tinue to build on this momentum. Tory’s plan calls for several changes to things: the immediate towing of see effect cars and trucks illegally parked on major roads during rush hour, adding more arterial road cameras, ramping up the installation of re-timed traffic signals scheduled for next year, extending work hours on construction sites for large infrastructure projects and making private-sector firms pay more for the privilege of closing lanes and boulevards for construction. On Monday morning, Tory also made official the all-door boarding of the 504 King streetcar (though many streetcar operators have already been allowing this due to overcrowding). That same day, Toronto police launched their own anti-gridlock campaign to help get us moving. These initiatives are promising, but there’s still much to do. Long-term strategy is key and that’s already underway with a request for a SmartTrack feasibility study coming from executive committee last week. There needs to be ongoing public consultation. A review process also needs to be in place to see if these short-term measures are having the intended effect – something also called for by JeanPierre Boutros, a former city hall and TTC insider who spoke with us last week. Fixing the transit problem in Toronto is a big picture kind of dilemma. But these quick wins deliver some much-needed momentum at a time when the transit file’s been all but stalled at the gate. newsroom ph:

And with another term, the question remains: how do you solve a problem like Mammoliti?
T
he voters of Ward 7 returned Giorgio Mammoliti to office this year – in one of the least explicable electoral decisions this side of 2010. The long-serving city councillor is after all under investigation by police for a fundraiser that so egregiously violated the rules under which councillors operate, that council also docked three months of his pay. The one thing to say in defence of these perplexing constituents is that at least they don’t have a relationship with former members of the Sussex Group – a lobbying organization named prominently in the integrity commissioner’s report as contributing to the councillor’s $80,000 take from the 2013 fundraiser. The same cannot be said for Mayor John Tory, who
david nickle the city hired two former members of the energetic lobbying organization as his senior staff: Chris Eby as his chief of staff and Vic Gupta as his principal secretary. Those hires raised some eyebrows around city hall when it was announced shortly after the election. It wasn’t really a problem, until now – just a week after Tory pushed the appointment of Mammoliti to two influential (and potentially influence-able) bodies, the committee that appoints members of the committee of adjustment, and the board of Exhibition Place. Mammoliti has now come forward with a request to cover $48,000 in legal bills he’s accumulated,
attempting to strike down the report from the integrity commissioner, and restore the $26,000 in pay that he’s lost. The audacity would be shocking in any other councillor than Mammoliti, whose torqueing of the entitlements of office has been almost a secondary career to the one he’s used as councillor. It’s still noteworthy – Mammoliti’s transgressions nearly always are – but it also resurrects uncomfortable questions about the embryonic Tory administration. One could sense last week that Tory and his team had realized they’d made something of an error, at least in supporting Mammoliti for the committee of adjustment appointment body. A motion by Scarborough-Agincourt
Councillor Norm Kelly, to add more members to that committee (and so dilute the individual influence of each councillor) passed easily. The Exhibition Place appointment went through easily, despite objections from local councillor Mike Layton. None of this, of course, suggests that Tory or his team are actively behaving improperly, or that there’s anything legally wrong with appointing the dulyre-elected Mammoliti to boards and committees for which he’s eligible. But appearance is important in politics, and it sets a tone early in the term – and the tone that the mayor’s tacit support of Mammoliti sets is a troubling one.

Customers and supporters from as far as outside of the Greater Toronto Area have driven in to show their support, she said. The ‘Be Happy Not Gay’ slur spray-painted on the store’s back
wall last weekend has been removed by the Bloor West Village Business Improvement Area’s graffiti removal service. The spray-painted flag in the front window remains so police can investigate. The store does have surveillance; police are aware of it. Eby said she doesn’t want to go into detail about what the surveillance recordings may or may not show. Police have canvassed the area and continue to investigate. This is one of several anti-gay graffiti incidents the store has expe-
rienced since late summer, early fall, Eby said. “Since this has happened, I’ve found out that the same slogan has been vandalized on other people’s properties,” she said. In September last year, a Jane Street and St. Johns Road-area couple hosted a neighbourhood barbecue after their home was the target of a series of hate crimes. Sarah Jean Harrison and Pascal Murphy chose not to respond in anger. Instead, they brought the
community together to address the issue by having a barbecue. They too suffered several incidents of anti-gay vandalism, including slashed tires and their rainbow flag torn off their front porch. “What a coincidence,” said Eby, who hopes to get in touch with the couple. “I feel like I need to make something positive come out of this.”

GO Transit wants to hike fares GO Transit riders should brace themselves for a fare hike in 2015. The regional transit agency is recommending Metrolinx’s board of directors, scheduled to meet today, approve a tiered fare increase to take effect in February. For the first time, GO wants fares to be determined by calculating total distance traveled. For example, the minimum cost of $5.20 for a one way trip would increase by 10 cents, while it will cost 50 additional cents compared to 2014 for fares exceeding $8.25. BIKE SHARE GETS NEW CORPORATE SPONSOR Toronto’s city-operated bike share service has a new corporate sponsor and, it would seem, long-term viability. This week Mayor John Tory announced TD Bank will partner with Bike Share Toronto, a move he vowed w o u l d a l l ow t h e c a s h strapped bike rental service to remain sustainable for at

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT least the next two years. Despite record ridership Bike Share, when it was known as BIXI Toronto, still needed a bailout in 2013 from council to not default on a city-backed loan of some four million dollars. Last year BIXI also reported it could not meet its annual operating expenses of $400,000. ANNOUNCE BEST AND WORST wT hTTCRIDERS e advocacy group
TTCriders announced the winners of its annual awards showcase commemorating the naughty and nice when it comes to transit. TTC CEO Andy Byford was named 2014’s Transit Champion for his efforts pushing for better transit funding. He accepted the award in person at TTCriders’ end-of-year party Thursday, Dec. 4.
As the head of the only G8 country without federal dedicated funding for transit, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was named Transit Troll of the year beating out Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, Doug Ford and Giorgio Mammoliti for the ‘honour’. TTC WON’T MEET GROWTH TARGETS wDespite beating last year’s
all-time high the TTC will not meet its ridership growth projections for 2014. The transit commission had hoped to reach a threshold of 540 million rides this year, representing growth of 3 per cent from 2013, but it’s expected to fall five million short. In his monthly performance report to the TTC board, Byford said 2014’s final ridership tally will still exceed last year’s record total of 525 million rides.

Calendar proceeds support the Malala Fund for girls >>>from page 1 photograph. “The photographer said, ‘Don’t tilt your head; you’re not Jennifer Aniston, you’re a minister,’” recalled Gilmour. When Elliott posted this exchange on Facebook, it garnered more than 400 responses and sparked a conversation about similar experiences female ministers had. One minister, a belly dancer in her free time, was told her hobby was not appropriate for a minister. Another was asked to cut her hair because it was too sexy. “We decided to broaden this conversation and ask, ‘What do female ministers look like,’” Gilmour said. “The calendar was our way of broadening the conversation.” The calendar features United Church female clergy engaged in such activities as protest marches, sporting high heels, hunting and

She appears in a photo taken of her on the day of the Toronto Occupy Protest Eviction as she helped mediate between police and protestors. “We didn’t set out to make a calendar. We first set out to have a conversation, not just have the conversation, but to do something about it,” she said. “We wondered about how to expand the conversation. A photo is worth a thousand words.” The Malala Fund is an international organization whose aim is to create a world where girls are empowered to reach their potential through quality education.
