Junction residents aim to create new community space

rise and shine

Goal of Junction Commons Project to turn former station into community hub LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com A group of dedicated Junction residents have banded together in an effort to transform the dilapidated 11 Division police station into a community hub.

Coined the Junction Commons Project, the end goal is to create a space where area residents can meet, work, play and participate in various community activities.

Ensuring that all residents have a voice and are able to work together, its aim is to strengthen the neighbourhood. The wish-list includes a multi-functional space for art proj-

ects, such as visual arts, storytelling, performance, theatre, music and dance; a community kitchen and community garden, among many other ideas.

Deserted since officers moved into their new state-of-the-art facility on Davenport Road in September 2011, the old city-owned, 25,000square foot, Mavety Street station has remained empty.

“The building is in limbo right now. As of that date, the city put (the building) out to all its departments to see if anyone wanted it,” explained Parkdale-High Park Councillor Sarah Doucette during >>>RESIDENT, page 10

Free dental cleanings offered at Jane Street hygienists’ clinic Baby Point Gates area dental hygienist Rosa Macip wants to give everyone something to smile about.

On Saturday, Feb. 9, she is joining dental hygienists from across Canada to offer a free dental cleaning for those who may be financially unable to visit a dentist regularly.

Macip, who opened her clinic ‘Just Smile Dental Hygiene Care’ on Jane Street just over a year ago, said she was inspired to take part because she simply wants to give back to her community. She, along with many other hygienists, have come across

UPCOMING those who cannot afford check-ups, particularly those on a fixed income or without dental insurance, and this is an opportunity to serve those clients, she said. Each client during Gift from the Heart day is allotted 45 to 60 minutes, Micap noted.

If you would like to book an appointment, call 416-951-3567.

The Just Smile Clinic is situated at 317 Jane St. For more details, visit www.giftfromtheheart.ca ~ Lisa Rainford

Annual reception, silent auction to benefit The Redwood Shelter Up for grabs at The Redwood Shelter’s annual cocktail reception and silent auction fundraiser is a weekend getaway to Prince Edward County that includes a personal tour of a vineyard, a two-night stay at an inn, a dinner and play.

“It’s one of our most popular items,” Emma Lewzey said, The Redwood’s fundraising manager.

The Redwood, a safe haven for women and children fleeing domestic abuse in the ParkdaleHigh Park riding, hosts its seventh annual Gimme Shelter affair

Wednesday, Feb. 13, at the Bram and Bluma Appel Salon in the Toronto Reference Library.

Over the past seven years, the event has raised more than $300,000 to benefit the 33-bed shelter, which can take credit for helping women escape abuse while changing their lives. Last year, it brought in more than $60,000.

“The funding supports all of our programming, but the money will go specifically to our biggest area of need this year, our ‘Women on the Move program,’” Lewzey said.

The program pairs women, some of whom have stayed at The Redwood, with young women from various Toronto high schools to help them recognize the early signs of domestic abuse.

The cocktail reception and silent auction includes dessert.

The event takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Bram and Bluma Salon, 789 Yonge St. Tickets are $95 per person or $500 for a ‘Friends of The Redwood Package.’ To purchase tickets, visit www.theredwood. com

Gold medallist shares drive behind her dream St. Luigi students encouraged to overcome setbacks LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Self-doubt and uncertainty are natural – even Olympic athletes are not immune.

Not even Canada’s only gold medalist at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games can avoid those feelings.

Trampoline gymnast Rosie MacLennan, the reigning Olympic champion, candidly told students at St. Luigi Catholic School how she struggled to overcome challenges on the road to becoming the best in her sport.

“One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was, no matter how many times you fall, get back up and don’t let it defeat you,” MacLennan told kids in kindergarten to Grade 8 during a special assembly at the school recently.

MacLennan, a University of Toronto student who is pursuing a Master’s Degree in exercise sciences, is an honorary mentor for Kids Now, a national youth charity that provides free after school group mentoring programs to students in grades 7 and 8, empowering them to believe in themselves while making positive choices that will help them reach their full potential.

The Kids Now program is offered at St. Luigi’s.

“When I was your age, I wasn’t very popular. I was uncertain of who I was and how I fit in,” MacLennan told her audience, adding that she was part of a gifted class at school and was labelled a “giftie.” “What matters more than labels is how you think of yourself.”

MacLennan, 24, revealed she did dream of becoming an Olympian and would be captivated by the athletes as she watched them on TV. “You can see the pain, the

MacLennan spoke on behalf of the Kids Now program, an organization that mentors students in primary and middle schools, combating bullying and encouraging kids to work for their dreams.

determination in the athletes’ eyes,” she said. “I wanted to be them – even before I knew what sport I’d do.”

MacLennan asked St. Luigi students if they had a dream, if they knew what they wanted to be when they grew up.

“A teacher? A doctor? An athlete? You really need to hold onto that dream. Holding onto that dream will get you through challenging situations,’ she said. feeling nervous Even standing up on the stage, behind the podium, the ever-composed MacLennan admitted to feeling nervous.

“In those moments of fear, my dream got me through,” she revealed.

Even before she was an Olympian, MacLennan said she was afraid to fail. She admitted she suffered a “bad patch” as she trained for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England, and had difficulty wading through her feelings of self-doubt. She credits her trainer for pulling her out of the depths of

despair.

“He saw that I was so afraid of failing that I was giving up before even trying,” MacLennan said.

“After that, I was so mad at myself because I was letting fear get in my way. Living in the moment is most important. I focus on what I love. I love to jump. Jumping is what I do, it’s what I live for.”

Members of the voluntary Kids Now program at St. Luigi’s, Keann, Filipe and Busayo, asked MacLennan questions on behalf of all students.

“Describe the feeling of standing on the gold medal podium,” asked Filipe.

MacLennan said it was “very surreal.”

“To be able to look around and see so many Canadian flags, what it represented; all the obstacles, all the people who supported me along the way,” she said.

When asked if she had any advice for aspiring athletes, MacLennan said, “Believe in yourself, believe anything is possible. You have the power to do what it takes.”

Maximizing the impact of public consultations

A

s the city-wide tour of transit consultations makes its way through various parts of Toronto this week and next, it’s important to reinforce the potential value these community gatherings have.

When we take advantage of these opportunities, we build better communities.

The Feeling Congested? series is designed to garner public feedback on transporour view tation priorities and funding options. The series kicked off in Speak up now York on Monday. Additionally, according to chief planner on transit to Jennifer Keesmaat, more than 1,500 people have already shared shape future their opinions online.

It is admittedly challenging to share feedback for projects that are years, even decades away from being realized. But as we seek to connect our communities, this stage is an important one. It has impact.

For evidence, look no further to what happened last week on another transit-related issue: the construction of the Eglinton Avenue light-rail line.

Metrolinx confirmed at a public meeting last Thursday that after reviewing feedback, a station at Ferrand Drive in North York would remain in the plans.

Initially, there were plans to scrap the station.

Ferrand Drive is in Flemingdon Park, one of the city’s priority neighbourhoods whose dense population would benefit from a transit stop. The construction of the Aga Khan Museum nearby was also a factor in keeping the station, said a Metrolinx spokesperson.

These are the things that happen when people speak up – here, it helped shape and ultimately improve a critical piece of transportation infrastructure. Not bad.

Hopefully the Feeling Congested? series can yield those kinds of ideas that shape our transit future.

At the York Civic Centre Monday, the first session, from 4 to 6 p.m., drew a sparse turnout. But it’s apparent one common concern that’s surfacing is how the potential funding tools – percentage of a property tax, parking levies, fuel taxes, highway tolls, among others – would be applied and to whom and for how long.

These are critical questions.

These are conversations we must have. And it’s good they’re happening now. These are conversations that don’t need to be restricted to election time.

So, we must understand that the contributions we make to our communities today can have far-reaching impacts.

It’s how communities grow, evolve and prosper. newsroom

To the editor: A poll suggests 52 per cent of Torontonians approve the idea of a casino.

And to suggest that just the poor or needy use casinos is not doing much research.

Where do you think the people who go to Niagara or Casino Rama come from? They are people from Toronto.

Having a casino downtown makes us more of a world-class city and a tourist destination. It only makes sense to keep those tax revenues here in Toronto.

The politicians in Niagara are up in arms about a Toronto casino because they know their city’s biggest revenue comes from us, the taxpaying Toronto population.

Yes, there will always be abusive gamblers but, whether it’s here or there, those addicts will find a way to spend.

Put out a vote to the citizens of the city and do what we want. A handful of left-wing activists shouldn’t make that decision.

Sheila Barron

Legal system a popular weapon in Toronto politics

I

t’s been a big winter for the left-wing antiRob-Ford illuminati.

They nearly toppled our virtuous, football-loving mayor for the crime of loving football too much.

Fresh from that near-totalvictory, the skulking fiends saw fruits of their other investigations – in the form of a compliance audit of Mayor Ford’s 2010 election campaign.

This is serious business: the same pack of villains saw another sometimeFord-ally, Giorgio Mammoliti, facing prosecution for his own alleged electoral sins in 2010.

If you listen to the mayor and his allies, the scoundrels are engaged in an unfounded, partisan and political attack on democratically elected politicians, the like of which has never been seen.

And if you believe that,

THE CITY

david nickle

you haven’t spent much time watching Toronto politics.

Because while it’s true that this latest round of legal challenges brought forward have come from citizens who it’s fair to say don’t agree with the direction in which Ford is taking the city – using the courts to win fights you can’t win at the ballot box is not an exclusively left-wing tactic.

In the 2006-2010 term, it was councillors on the left who were in the spotlight.

Former councillors Sandra Bussin and Adrian Heaps both incurred stiff legal fees to deal with issues

while in office.

When the two councillors – along with Mammoliti, then an ally of Mayor David Miller – had their expenses reimbursed, future Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday took the city to court, and won. Holyday’s move was a matter of principle, to be sure – he didn’t think taxpayers should be reimbursing legal fees for members of council – but it’s hard not to see it as political as well. After all, those three were allies of left-of-centre Mayor Miller: Holyday was then firmly entrenched in the right-wing opposition.

All of this is – or should be – beside the point. The reality is that everything that goes on having to do with politicians is political.

Everyone who comes to city hall does so with an agenda — whether improving their neigh-

bourhood, improving the lot of the disadvantaged, or finding the gravy that’s costing taxpaying Torontonians an arm and a leg.

Sometimes, their agenda is more visceral: putting politicians with whom they disagree on these points out of office.

The legal system might be a weapon of choice for those players from time to time. But whatever the motive anyone has for engaging it, once engaged the system has a way of sorting things out. And if politicians are found to be in breach, they really only have one enemy to blame – themselves. n David Nickle is The Villager’s City Hall reporter. His column appears every Thursday.

One half of a father-son duo, known as the “Junction bully” for terrorizing his neighbours, was slapped with a 48-day jail sentence and three years’ probation at Old City Hall.

Ralph Scala, 40, pleaded guilty to 21 counts – the most recent of a decadeslong campaign of abuse on his Quebec Avenue-area neighbourhood. The judge ordered Scala to stay at least 500 metres away from 28 neighbours, who have

been named, at all times while remaining outside the boundaries of St. Clair Avenue West and Lake Shore Boulevard from Jane Street to Lansdowne Avenue VICTIMS WEARY Despite these restrictions, Scala’s victims feel little comfort. They endured years of abuse, including slashed tires, rocks thrown t h r o u g h w i n d ow s a n d flooded lawns.

CLIENT’S CORNER! We hired Frank Leo to sell my mother’s home after she passed away, and we could tell immediately that we had made the right decision. Frank’s initial presentation was thorough, he answered all our questions, and he wasted no time in putting our house on the market. He understood the difficult time we had gone through leading up to the sale, and was very empathetic.

Frank’s strategy of pricing the property realistically and advertising it throughout the GTA really paid off. We ended up with multiple offers and a sale price 117% above our asking price, all within one week of listing the property. During the period between the date of sale and closing, Frank’s customer service was excellent. He answered all of our questions and helped us with any concerns.

We highly recommend calling Frank Leo if you want to sell your home quickly and see great results.

Resident group circulating petition in support of hub >>>from page 1 a Junction Commons meeting on a recent Wednesday evening at Smash, on Dundas Street West, near Keele Street.

Only one department expressed interest, but backed out last minute, said the councillor. While the group has yet to secure the building, Doucette said she has requested a process called “strata,” which would restrict the kind of development that might happen on the property.

“It puts a cap on how high a building can go and how deep underground parking can go,” she explained. “It’s a whole new idea.

This property is one of several test cases in the city.”

The strata policy, however, has yet to be officially implemented.

In the meantime, Doucette said the group needs to secure funding.

According to city figures, the former police station would cost approximately $3.5 million to

purchase and approximately $7 million to retrofit to bring it up to the provincial standard.

According to Doucette, the windows leak, the basement fl oods and it is not accessible.

The Junction Commons Project, initiated by Karin Kowalski and Kim Jackson, has been meeting regularly since mid-November.

“We’ve always talked about a business plan that includes a forprofit component,” said member Lynn Bishop.

INSIDE RIDE: Nisa Bentley peddles as members of the Mad Tea Party team lends its support during Humberside Collegiate Institute’s fundraising event, Inside Ride, for children with cancer. The event, held last Friday, hoped to raise more than $25,000 for the cause.

The group is in the midst of raising money for and creating a feasibility plan, which it will present to the city sometime this month.

It has circulated a petition and has solicited letters in support of a community hub.

Ask The Experts

Choose the pet that’s right for you What could be better than introducing a furry, fluffy, loyal pal to your life?

There’s no doubt that there are many benefits from owning a pet, but before you bring a dog or cat home, you want to make sure that your choice will fit in with you and your family. Here are a few tips for choosing the perfect pet: • Don’t make an impulse buy: Do your research and understand the type of care and commitment your

potential pet will need. Consider things such as whether the dog breed you want needs lots of exercise, otherwise it’ll create havoc in your home. Or whether it’s a cat that needs less attention.

• Consider your lifestyle and how a pet will fit in: Do you have a demanding career that means you won’t have lots of time for dog walks and playing in the park? Or do

Pet of the Month!

you live in an apartment building or in close proximity to others and therefore need a quite pet? Do you have a huge yard for a dog to play in? Are there small children in the home that should be considered in your pet and breed choice?

• Consider your health: Does anyone in your family have allergies?

If so, this will play a key role in your choice.

• Cost: Before you bring a new pet home, make sure you’ve done your research and understand the cost of ongoing care.

• Visit animal shelters to get an idea of the kind of dog or cat you’d like: Take your time and visit a few shelters to see what is available for adoption. You’ll be able to see the animals up close and get a better idea of their size and look than you would from a photo online.

• Go with your gut: You’ll know whether it’s the right pet for you once you see it and spend time with it.

So, what is the most important piece of advice? Enjoy your new little friend. There is nothing better than a loving and loyal pet.”

Q

How do I train my new dog to stop chasing my cat?

A

essential fatty acids or probiotics designed specifically for dogs/cats are a good idea.

Q

It is best to slowly introduce your dog and cat in a controlled situation (have a leash on your dog, your cat can be free to walk around). It is a great idea to let each of them get used to the other’s scent by allowing them to sniff bedding etc. prior to introducing them. If we are talking about a cat and dog that are familiar with each other and there is still chasing going on, it may be play behaviour. As long as neither the cat or dog are in danger of being injured, no intervention is required, though you may be in fear for the sanctity of your home.

My puppy is 3 months old but hardly eats her dry food. What should I do?

Q

It is best not to feed human food to your dog. Studies show dogs fed human food are at a higher risk of pancreatitis, than dogs who do not eat human food. If you are determined to do it, stick to carrots or apple slices for a healthy treat.

Should I give my dog and cat vitamins?

A

If your animal is on a good quality pet food, there is no need for further vitamin supplementation. Supplementing with

A

Your puppy may be teething. You can add water to the dry food, just discard it after an hour. If this does not work, you can try a new puppy diet as your pup may not like the current diet anymore.

Q

What kinds of human food are OK to feed my dog?
