Large crowd calls for closure of uranium plant
@BWVillager
HELPING HAND
Politicians, activists gather at meeting saying they won’t back down from issue LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Following a march from the GE-Hitachi uranium plant at Lansdowne Avenue and Dupont Street, a capacity crowd of protesters filled the Davenport-Perth Neighbourhood Centre sanctuary for what organizers are calling the first of many meetings to come about the nuclear facility. Decked out in costume, the “Raging Grannies,” a group of older women who use song to protest and raise awareness of environmental and social justice issues, kicked off the Nov. 15 meeting that
brought out local politicians from all levels of government, as well as several guest experts. “If you love your neighbourhood, no uranium... Kick GE out for good, no uranium,” sang the trio to rousing applause. Facilitated by the Ontario Clean Air Alliance’s Angela Bischoff, the meeting brought together a host of speakers, including Roy Brady, from SAGE, Safe and Green Energy Peterborough and Council of Canadians, who spoke about public consultations to hold GE Nuclear to account; Kyra BellPasht from CELA, the Canadian Environmental Law Association >>>GE-HITACHI, page 5
Clean Train Coalition files lawsuit against Metrolinx RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Two west-end residents’ groups are taking different tacks in their battle to electrify an upcoming air rail link (ARL). Both the Clean Train Coalition and the Junction Triangle Rail Committee object to the province’s intention of running diesel trains along a planned rail spur linking
Pearson International Airport with Union Station via the Georgetown South GO rail corridor. Instead of diesel, which they fear will lead to long-term negative health effects for residents, the groups want clean electric trains running on the link instead when it opens in 2015.

Brock Public School celebrates 125th anniversary LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com It’s not every day that an elementary school turns 100 let alone 125 years old. Yet, Brock Public School has stood
the test of time in more ways than one. It was in 1887 that the kindergarten to Grade 8 school opened in the Dufferin and College streets area. Comprised of just four classrooms, it had four teachers and a student population of 202.
Graduate Leo Darmitz, who attended Brock from 1945 to 1952 and still has a soft spot for his old alma mater, says the school was one of the first in Toronto to have an intercom system and a library. >>>PUBLIC, page 19

Author Philippa Dowding launched her latest Gargoyle series at Bloor Gladstone Library on Saturday with a reading and a play put on by students from Olivet School in Etobicoke.
Author releases long-awaited third book in gargoyle series LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Fans of author Philippa Dowding’s lost gargoyle series have likely been anxiously awaiting the latest installment – readers were kept in suspense for more than a year before the third book was released. Finally, tweens will find out what happens to the gargoyle. “The last time we see him, he’s hanging from a pole over a valley,” said Dowding, an Ossington Avenue and College Street-area resident. What began as inspiration for a bedtime story for her then 10-yearold daughter and six-year-old son was woven into not one, not two, but three books with the possibility of more. “I wasn’t expecting to write a trilogy when I started. It’s kind of taken shape organically,” Dowding told The Villager in an interview recently. “I wanted to add more characters.” Initially, the story focused on one main character, a young girl named Katherine, and a gargoyle. This time, Dowding said she wanted the protagonist to be a boy. Christopher is new in Toronto. He is trying to fit in at a new school yet has no friends. Worse though is the park next door to this house. It’s creepy; he hears whispers coming from the bushes; apples are thrown at his windows and some kind of creature howls at the moon. The culprits, he soon discov-
ers, are two gargoyles – who need Christopher’s help to ward off an evil thief, the Collector. Befriending the gargoyles is tricky, but rewarding. Christopher soon finds himself with more friends than he can handle, including a girl named Katherine. Set in Toronto, Dowding says the story is about finding the courage to stand up to a bully. The Gargoyle At The Gates is already garnering rave reviews. Online publication Canadian Materials’ called it “an interesting and appealing story” and “a splendid sequel to the first two lost gargoyle books.” The inaugural The Gargoyle In My Yard was a 2011 Diamond Willow Nominee for titles written for upper elementary readers (grades 4 to 6), The Gargoyle Overhead was nominated for the Ontario Library Association Silver Birch Award 2012. Dowding is planning a huge launch party for her latest book. “A trilogy has a different feel. It feels complete,” she said. On Saturday, Nov. 24, Dowding will read from her book and sign copies at Chapters The Queensway starting at noon. On Thursday, Nov. 27, she’ll be at Chapters, Runnymede at 7 p.m. Kids can enter a draw to win the gargoyle trilogy at the Bloor-Gladstone Library at Dufferin and Bloor West streets.

As part of Crime Prevention Week in Ontario, 11 and 12 Division officers paid a visit to the St. Clair Gardens Business Improvement Area (BIA) to speak to retail and business owners about crime prevention. Crime Prevention Week, designated by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, took place Nov. 4 to 10. Its theme this year, ‘Engaged Communities Prevent Crime,’ celebrated and promoted collaborative efforts by the police, government, communities and not-for-profit organizations to work together to create crime prevention strategies while addressing local issues to reduce crime in Ontario. Eleven Division crime prevention officer Russ Golding, alongside community response unit and auxiliary officers from 12 Division, visited members of the St. Clair Gardens BIA recently to speak to them about crime prevention, especially given that the holiday shopping season is fast approaching. Golding chose the St. Clair BIA because of its proximity to the new police station on Davenport Road at Osler Avenue, but more importantly because the BIA has been seeking more police presence in the neighbourhood. The retail strip, stressed Golding is not a troubled area, the officers’ visit was a proactive initiative, one that was welcomed by BIA chair Don Panos, proprietor of Don’s Meat Shop, at 1747 St. Clair Ave. W. “We all benefit from their expertise on how to man our stores, how to make our stores safe,” Panos told The Villager on Tuesday afternoon. The officers arrived armed with robbery reduction pamphlets and

‘Cash Safe Robbery Reduction Program’ stickers emblazoned with the message: “Minimum cash at all times/ Till emptied at night.” We all have the potential to be victims of crime. The key is to eliminate the opportunity for crime, to ensure property is safe by examining it for potential risk factors. “Studies indicate that (the minimum cash) stickers are a deterrent,” Golding said, not unlike security system signs affixed to houses. Officers spoke in general how to protect cash registers, how to keep windows clear, how to make sure aisles are low and how to ensure surveillance videos are in working order and up-to-date, Panos shared. Golding told business and retail store owners to limit the amount of money in the cash register. If possible, use a drop safe, avoid counting cash in plain view and make deposits often and randomly, and to keep their cash register drawers open in off hours. “We’ve had a number of reported
incidents where there’s been an after hours break-in and both the cash register and the money inside have been stolen,” said Golding. “Cash registers are expensive.” There is always a need to reiterate this advice. “We forget time to time,” he said. Police officers also distributed a suspect vehicle and weapon identification chart, making it easier for business owners to identify any suspects of theft. “It’s always our recommendation that you go along with whatever (the thief) wants. Be calm and collect as much information and description as you can,” said Golding. He also directed business owners to make a note in what direction the thief flees and if possible to obtain a license plate number, description of vehicle and call 911. For more information on crime prevention, call Golding at 416-8081108.

Grey Cup offers time to reconnect
T
his Sunday’s Grey Cup is more than just an opportunity to experience an annual celebration of a storied Canadian tradition. For Torontonians, this city is on display as the rest of the country watches. Being the 100th game, it’s a milestone event and we should be proud to be hosts. But the football game is also an opportunity for us to reconnect with and celebrate the city’s rich history in the sport. The first Grey Cup game was played at Toronto’s Rosedale Field on Dec. 4, 1909. The University of Toronto Varsity Blues defeated the Parkdale Canoe Club 26-6. our view Of the 100 Grey Cup games, Toronto’s hosted nearly half of City has long them at places such as Varsity and great Stadium, Exhibition Stadium and now the Rogers Centre. football history In addition to the Varsity and Parkdale teams – as well as the Argonauts – Toronto also once had a Balmy Beach team competing. Players such as Ted Reeve (a former Argonaut and Balmy Beach player) are enshrined in the city’s sporting history. Reeve’s name now adorns a sports facility in East York. Much has changed as Canadian football has evolved. While interest in the Argonauts may have waxed and waned in recent years, the city’s connection to football remains strong. There’s a number of Toronto youth teams in the Central Ontario Minor Football League. Several high schools offer playing opportunities at different levels of competition and two universities, York and U of T, have varsity teams. A number of players on both of Sunday’s championship finalists, the Calgary Stampeders and the Argonauts, also have connections to the city. The great thing is, there are ways to celebrate and reconnect with the sport even if you don’t have tickets to the game. There are plenty of ancillary events taking place in the city. Also, treat this game as an opportunity to reach out to friends with whom you’ve had a connection through the sport. Perhaps you went to games together or watched them on television or played together in high school. When people get together, events like these can unite citizens and neighbourhoods. Friendships can be rekindled. New relationships can be forged. By hosting the milestone event, Toronto and its historic connection to Canadian football is being recognized. We should take this opportunity to renew and refresh the friendships that developed through our own connections to the sport. Toronto Community News is a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Colle on executive committee a good move by Mayor Ford
T
here have been a lot of dumb moves by the Mayor Rob Ford administration over the past year. But last Friday, the right-wing mayor and his so-very conservative team made a very smart move, as they invited Eglinton-Lawrence Councillor Josh Colle to sit on their executive committee. Colle is a first-term councillor, and one of the more prominent voices — some would call him the de facto leader — of council’s so-called “mushy middle.” Now, that is a deceptively unkind term, to describe a group of councillors who essentially bring the kind of pragmatism that one would hope comes to nuts-andbolts municipal government, keeping their place on the political spectrum generally to themselves. More than the hated left, this group has been the real bane of Mayor Ford’s existence on the floor of council. They have proven themselves anything but mushy, as they rejected the mayor’s budget, derailed his plans to build a subway
THE CITY
david nickle
instead of light rail lines, replaced his TTC board of directors and approved a plastic bag ban for January of next year. The mayor and his team have so far responded with glares and threats of electoral retribution. But as 2013 approaches, that strategy is proving evermore hollow, particularly as the mayor’s personal troubles stack up. Bringing Colle onto the executive committee could signal a very intelligent shift. Colle has made it clear he’s going to vote independently, whether he’s sitting on the mayor’s team or not. That doesn’t seem to have dissuaded anyone in extending the invitation. And it shouldn’t. Colle has proven himself to be a leader among the middle. It was his amendment to the budget this
year that reversed cuts championed by the mayor and the budget chief. He’s often at or near the middle of the compromises that pull that middle vote one way or another. And over the next two years, the Ford administration has to have some wins. If 2012 was a lesson in anything, it was humility: that however great a mandate Rob Ford received in 2010 when he was elected, he can’t count on that alone to bring about consensus on council. If he wants to succeed, he’ll have to follow the example of other mayors and seek consensus. With Colle onside, he will have a means to determine how to make those compromises earlier, and more strategically. It could mean a balanced budget that passes with the consent of council. It could, if he plays it right, mean a rebirth for the Ford mayoralty. n D a v i d Ni c k l e i s T h e Villager’s City Hall columnist. His column appears every Thursday.

To the editor: I am 10 years old and in Grade 5. I love sports and participate in many extracurricular activities in my school, and this teachers’ conflict is hitting kids like a ton of bricks. It came out of nowhere. They didn’t ask us what we wanted. Did they think this wouldn’t affect us when indeed it did? All kids in schools are affected by this horrible mess. It’s a disgrace to children and parents in all of Ontario. Is there even an end to all of this? Does this mean that the extra-curricular activities will never be reinstated ever or just for the year? What happens to parents who can’t afford athletic activities outside of the school for their kids? We need answers now. Our education doesn’t only occur in the classrooms. It takes place on the playing fields, in the gymnasiums, on the diamonds and in so many other locations that extra-curricular activities take students. In closing, we need teachers back. It’s not their needs, it’s ours. How it gets done is up to the province and the unions. We learn to get along in the classrooms, and the province and teachers should too. Kayla Herrington
Correction
Editing affects author’s point A letter to the editor in the Nov. 15 edition of The Bloor West Villager with headline ‘Pitching in the right thing to do’ contained incorrect information. The word ‘not’ was edited out and in turn altered the author’s point. The sentence should have read: The recent rain we had did not run through freely through the drainage system. The Villager regrets the error.

>>>from page 1 and Heather Marshall, a toxics campaigner from TEA, the Toronto Environmental Alliance. Area politicians revealed they were shocked that a nuclear processing plant has been in their midsts for more than five decades. “Like many of you in our community, I was really surprised, shocked. I didn’t know GE was here,” Davenport MP Andrew Cash admitted to the crowd of about 100. “When you find out after 50 years you’ve been living next to a nuclear facility – something went wrong with the process. Clearly, the public information program failed. What I’m going to be doing is calling the CNSC (Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission) and the Minister (of Environment) to a meeting that never happened during the review of (GE-Hitachi’s) license.” Cash said he has requested that GE provide tours of its facility to community members. “Residents need to know what’s going on inside those walls,” he said. Davenport MPP Jonah Schein echoed his colleague’s sentiments, saying he only learned of the uranium processing plant through

GE-Hitachi officials gave the media a tour of their facility last week and assured the manufacturing plant is safe. Above, a worker at the GE-Hitachi plant at 1025 Lansdowne Ave. inspects a uranium pellet produced at the facility. The facility has been pressing uranium powder into dense pellets for over 50 years; Right, Ryan Camilleri inspects uranium pellets.

media reports. “Before the recent press coverage, how many of you knew about this site? Raise your hand,” Schein asked the audience. The vast majority had no idea that the company manufactured uranium. “This is a major concern. This is a changing community. Its history is industrial, but more and more people are moving in. People expect to be a part of the conversation,” he
said. “We’re happy this conversation is happening now, but it should have happened sooner.” Parkdale-High Park MPP Cheri DiNovo said she has been fielding calls from her constituents as well. “I, like others, didn’t know. I’m appalled this facility exists,” said DiNovo. “No level of radiation is safe. Have a rousing meeting and shut it down.” Davenport Councillor Cesar
Palacio called on GE and federal agencies for “a level of transparency.” “They need to engage the community with factual information,” he said. TEA’s Marshall commended ever yone for attending last Thursday’s meeting. In 2008, city council voted for a precedentsetting toxics disclosure policy, the community’s right-to-know bylaw. Toronto became the first
city that would require businesses – from dry cleaners to funeral homes and auto-body repair shops – to reveal their discharges of 25 priority chemicals, said Marshall. The problem is, uranium is not on this list, she said. However, there is an opportunity for Toronto Public Health to conduct studies. “Ask Toronto Public Health for help. It’s worth a try,” she said. GE-Hitachi officials opened the doors to the media for a tour of the processing plant last week. “Frankly, nothing has gone wrong in 50 years,” said spokesperson Christopher White during the tour of the manufacturing plant. “This is a very safe facility.” He added GE-Hitachi produces 25 per cent of Ontario’s electricity. The GE-Hitachi nuclear facility at Lansdowne Avenue and Dupont Street is hosting a community open house. The uranium processing plant is inviting area residents to learn more about its work at the event which takes place at the Lithuanian House, 1573 Bloor St. W. from 4 to 8 p.m. Due to space limitations, the company says priority will be given to local residents.

Dangerous Obsession tells tale of revenge
New twist on kids’ classic
MARIA TZAVARAS contactus@insidetoronto.com
LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com
When you want justice and revenge from someone who has done you wrong, sometimes the only way to do it properly is to exact it on them yourself. In a story about holding one man accountable and another having the guts to make him do so, The Village Players is currently staging an intense drama about one man’s quest to make his world right again in the play Dangerous Obsession by N.J Crisp. Set in a beautiful conservatory with a gorgeous garden view at the home of wealthy couple Sally and Mark Driscoll (Sarah D. McCarthy, Rob Candy), this show begins on a typical day for Sally, who is enjoying a leisurely afternoon watering her plants and listening to music. With the music loud, she is unaware a man is on her terrace. But from the moment she does, the creepy factor kicks in. He speaks strangely and glares at her with a strange

expression. She initially turns him away thinking he is a salesman, but after an odd “fishing expedition” of a conversation, she realizes she has met this socially awkward man, John Barrett (David Borwick), and his wife before. Under the guise of having a business proposal for her husband, Sally allows him to stay and wait for him, despite being uncomfortable with his presence. When Mark returns home,
it quickly becomes apparent business is not on John’s mind, but that he desperately needs to unload his emotional turmoil regarding his wife being in a recent car accident. But that’s not all he’s there to unload on the unsuspecting Driscolls. John’s true agenda is soon revealed, however, not much more can be revealed without spoiling the plot. What can be said, however, is that being held accountable for your wrong-doings and the accompanying revenge can
happen anytime and when you least expect it. This show’s style is something you will either really enjoy or you won’t. That’s because while it’s an interesting story, it’s relatively low-key with a lot of dialogue which takes some time to understand all the elements being presented. What keeps this plot going, is the need to know how it will end. Also, the atmosphere of tension, intrigue and fear, created and shared by the trio is so well portrayed, there are moments you could hear a pin drop in the theatre. While there is some level of predictability, you really aren’t sure until the end how this story of revenge will actually play out. Add to the mix an unexpected plot twist and this play makes for an entertaining night out at the theatre. Dangerous Obsession runs until Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. matinees on Nov. 18 and 25. The Village Playhouse is located at 2190 Bloor St. W. General admission tickets are $20. Call 416-767-7702 or visit www.villageplayers.net
MARINO’S FINE CARS
It’s not unusual for director Sue Miner to forget she’s working with marionettes instead of real live actors. It’s an honest mistake because the puppets in the Puppetmongers’ Cinderella in Muddy York are so lifelike . Miner, who lives in the St. Clair Avenue West and Dufferin Street area, credits the talent of puppeteers and co-artistic directors, the brother and sister team of Ann and David Powell. “They say I talk to the puppets instead of the puppeteers,” Miner told The Villager. “I just get really involved with the characters. Ann and David, they do everything. They have a really wonderful technique. They make it look effortless.” Puppetmongers’ Cinderella story is a whimsical take on the classic folk tale that promises to tickle not only children’s funny bones, but adults’ too while providing a history lesson of Toronto. “I love working with puppets. They can do the smallest
thing. It’s astonishing,” said Miner. The not-for-profit organization’s play takes place in 1834 on the eve of Muddy York becoming the City of Toronto. The story tells the tale of Ella, a native of Muddy York, who seems to be the only one in her family who has made peace with their seamy cabin on the outskirts of civilization. The arrival of Ella’s new stepmother and stepsisters suppresses her self-esteem as her new family attempts to reduce her to servitude. Miner began her career as an actor. She was one of those kids who always knew she wanted to act and performed in plays throughout school. “The fun thing about being an actor, is you get to pretend to live another life. As a director, you get to tell everyone’s life. (Directing) appeals to the bossy side of me.” Puppetmongers’ Cinderella in Muddy York takes place at the Theatre Passe Muraille’s Mainspace, 16 Ryerson Ave. from Dec. 28 to Jan. 5.

Junction Triangle group meets with minister to discuss ARL electrification >>>from page 1 diesel trains planned for use on the link will be the cleanest possible and fully convertible to electric. Metrolinx is currently conducting an environmental assessment (EA) on electrification of the ARL and has enlisted the services of global planning firm Parsons Brinckerhoff. Approval for the electrification EA is expected in 2014. But that’s not good enough for the Clean Train Coalition, which has filed a lawsuit against Metrolinx demanding a judicial review of the decision to run diesel trains along the ARL in the first place. The group alleges Metrolinx never seriously considered implementing electrification because the McGuinty Liberals, dead-set on completing the ARL in time for the 2015 Toronto Pan American Games, deemed diesel trains the only option. In a downtown courtroom Monday the non-partisan group, represented by litigator Saba Ahmad, had a chance
to present its case, said Clean Train spokesperson Rick Ciccarelli. “What we are asking is for Metrolinx to go back and do a thorough analysis for electric, as well as diesel, and make a decision,” said Ciccarelli, who is Clean Train’s chair. Metrolinx, which was represented by attorney John Laskin, declined to comment on the case but did release a statement re-iterating its intention to deliver electrification in a timely manner. “We aren’t that far apart in our goals from those who advocate electrification; with the EA in progress, we are on the path towards electrification of the air rail link,” says the statement. While Clean Train was prepping for its court date last week, Kevin Putnam and fellow members of the Junction Triangle Rail Committee met with Chiarelli and McCuaig at Queen’s Park. This is the first time a government minister has ever spoken directly to residents about the topic,” said
Putnam. “We’ve been chasing and asking for meetings and they never come out, so for us we’re grateful to hear the minister say electrification is government policy.” Putnam said the group also received a commitment from McCuaig for Metrolinx to host an upcoming public meeting in the Junction regarding plans for the construction of a series of five-metre high noise barrier walls along the rail corridor. Metrolinx has said the walls are necessary to drown out the din of diesel train traffic. The idea has proven extremely unpopular with residents who fear the walls will justify maintaining diesel train traffic indefinitely. “Every resident fears once those walls go in they’ll leave the diesel trains running,” said Putnam. Though no date has been announced for the meeting regarding the noise barrier walls, Metrolinx spokesperson Ann Marie Aikins confirmed one will take place in the immediate future.

Easy weekend projects to update your home Sprucing up your house doesn’t have to mean spending huge amounts of time and money. In fact, there are many projects that you can complete in a weekend to improve the look and feel of your living space. With a little guidance and the right tools, you can easily get your home in top shape by Monday morning.
require a number of coats to get the coverage needed. To avoid increased time and cost, choose a premium line of paint in a colour that you love. When choosing paint for your next weekend project, remember that a quality product will achieve the best end result and save you time and money in the long run.
PAINT REFRESH
LIGHTING UPDATE
Commonly recognized as one of the easiest and most cost-effective interior updates, painting is a weekend project that can completely transform your home. However, lowquality, inexpensive paint will likely
Tired of the same old lamps sitting on your end tables but don’t have the funds to revamp your lighting decor? A new lamp shade will completely change the look of any piece. You can also easily transform pieces
by renewing the lamp bases; a quick walk down the spray paint aisle will show limitless possibilities of colours and finishes. Create a cohesive look by bringing that new finish to your hanging fixtures as well.
ACCESSORIZE Adding trendy, fun accessories will give any room a new and more put-together look. Think vases and bowls, wall art and rugs. When adding accessories, look for colours that complement what is already in the room. Plants and flowers can also add energy, some with the added bonus of a pleasant aroma.
FURNITURE RENEWAL
Replace it. Hardwood is scuffed and dull? Refinish it. You can also achieve the look of natural wood or stone flooring with luxury vinyl tile. This affordable option is no longer your grandmother’s vinyl, now available in a variety of natural finishes that are both durable and modern. If replacement isn’t in your budget, simply give your flooring a good cleaning and use accent rugs to cover blemished areas. Check off a project on your home improvement to-do list this weekend, and enjoy the results for months to come.
One easy way to update furniture on a budget is by recovering it or using slip covers. Premade covers are available in a wide variety of fabrics and designs, or you can create a custom cover for your sofa or armchair. More ambitious crafters may actually reupholster furniture to create a completely new-looking seating option. After re-padding and covering cushions, sand and stain or paint wood pieces for a completely modern feel.

Luxury laundry is the next trend in home décor First it was glamorous bathrooms with crystal chandeliers over massive soaker tubs. Then kitchen renovations got the special treatment with exotic wood cabinetry, Italian tile backsplashes and sophisticated appliances that looked as good as they cooked. So it’s no wonder that the laundry room is the next functional room with a view to a
makeover. With all the time we spend washing, drying, ironing and folding clothes, laundry rooms are at last becoming the places we’d actually like to spend that kind of time in. The trick to a luxurious laundry room is function and form. Top loading washers and dryers are back. How many times do your small clothing items hit the floor before
going from the washer to the dryer? These top-loading washer dryer pairs make it easier to transition clothing from one machine to the other and ultimately create a more ergonomically correct and comfortable laundry experience. An added bonus is that many are also environmentally friendly. Many machines also now
come in a variety of colours to add a splash of interest to your laundry room and coordinate with cabinetry and other decorative touches. With colours like white, grey and purple, doing laundry can now be a beautiful experience. You won’t have to close the door to the laundry room anymore.

Reclaim Your
Basement At Ontario Basement Lowering we are often asked, “What exactly is it that you do?” Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions:
WHAT IS BASEMENT LOWERING? Basement lowering is the transformation of a short, cramped basement or crawl space into a full
height space of eight feet tall or more.
WHAT IS UNDERPINNING? Underpinning is the method by which the existing foundation of a building is extended deeper into the ground by pouring new concrete directly underneath the existing foundation walls. By
extending the foundation walls deeper into the ground, we are able to lower the concrete floor.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO LOWER MY BASEMENT? Basement lowering is the best way to add usable living space to your home without having to lose your backyard to an addition. Additionally, the cost is typically lower than that of an addition of equivalent square footage. For more information, please contact Ontario Basement Lowering at 416-494-3999 or visit our website at www. basementlowering.com.

a local gym or taking a walk with your family after dinner, there are many ways to incorporate fitness into your life, no matter how busy you are. Schedule a workout in your calendar the same as you would do for a meeting or doctor’s appointment. If you don’t book it, it’s easy to forget or dismiss. Your plan should also include a “plan B”. If the rain is keeping you from your morning jog, have an indoor activity such as a fitness DVD ready as backup.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Remember to keep tabs on yourself to see how you are tracking against your goals. If your original fitness plan isn’t working, it’s time to try something else. It could be that you set your goals too high or too low, or that you’re bored with the activity you chose. A simple revision can really do the trick and help you keep on track.
EAT BALANCED MEALS Incorporating fitness into your life is important, but if you’re not seeing results, it could be because of your diet. Eating a nutritious, balanced diet will help you feel fuller longer, ensure you reach your recommended daily allowance of nutrients and minerals, and support your fitness goals.
FIND YOUR MOTIVATION AND DON’T GIVE UP Whether it’s working out with a buddy, changing up your music playlist or rewarding yourself occasionally, a little motivation can go a long way. Missing a workout or two isn’t the end of the world, and shouldn’t be mistaken for failure. Just get back to your plan as soon as you can, and if you find that you are skipping your workout more often than not, it may mean you need to revisit your fitness plan.

Public invited to milestone celebration this Saturday >>>from page 1 Its principal W.T. Martin, at the helm from 1936 to ’47, was instrumental in creating the Toronto school board’s library system, said Darmitz, who has been researching the school’s history in recent years. His efforts have been key in organizing 125th anniversary celebrations, which includes a day of festivities on Saturday, Nov. 24 at the school from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The goal of the anniversary committee, according to principal Victor Tran, is to celebrate not only the past and how far the school has come, but also the present while looking toward the future. “What makes Brock special is our focus on environmental literacy. For us, we’re very environmentally focused. We’ve got the only rooftop garden in the city. My students, they’re social justice advocates,” said Tran, citing Halloween for Hunger and its annual Terry Fox Run. Tran credits the school’s partnerships with its parents and the local community, with organizations like Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Bloor/Gladstone Library and New Horizons Tower seniors’ residence. “This has been such a jour-

ney,” Tran said of anniversary preparations. “We’ve been counting it down.” Tomorrow, the school hosts a cake-cutting reception to celebrate the opening of a 25-year old time capsule and will bring in new items to bury a new one to be opened in 2037. Chair of the anniversar y committee, Marie MacCormack, whose son is in Grade 1 at the school, said preparations began with reaching out to alumni.
“We cast a net as wide as we could to build a diverse committee,” said MacCormack. “For me, my passion for the project is the future of the school. It’s a beautiful, community-based school – you don’t have to look for an elementary school elsewhere. This is a fantastic school with wonderful teachers and fantastic community partners.” Fo r m o re i n f o r m a tion, call 416-393-9245 or visit www.facebook.com/ groups/125BROCKPS/
