Popular Maker Festival expands and re-brands JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With the growing success of the Toronto Mini Maker Faire, organizers of the event are expanding it and running it under a new name.

The faire drew some 8,000 people to the Toronto Reference Library last year, with visitors able to check out – and often test or create – technologies,

crafts and more.

Now dubbed the Maker Festival, the popular event will feature a week-long series of satellite events leading up to the Maker Extravanganza, to be held once again at the Reference Library.

Maker Festival spokesperson Ceda Verbakel said the decision to expand and re-brand came out of its overwhelming popularity.

“Last year, the event was huge and we decided to open it up to show off more of the maker community,” she said. “And then, instead of being associated with an American brand (the Maker Faire concept and name originated in California several years ago) we wanted to do our own thing.”

The inaugural Maker Festival will feature 30-plus satellite events, with organizers part-

nering with tech and creative organizations across the city.

These events will allow guests to learn about and work hands-on in everything from painting to origami to journal-binding and letter pressing to robotics.

“Across Toronto, there are a whole bunch of maker spaces and creative organizations and this shines a bit of a spotlight on them,” Verbakel said. “Some of >>>MAKER, page 10

Over the past 25 years, the health food industry has changed immensely, and few know how it has evolved more than George Chow.

Chow, a North Toronto resident, is the founder and owner of Peaches & Green, a health food and supplement store, which recently turned 25. The Bayview Avenue shop started out serving a niche clientele, but as interest in healthy living has boomed, the store’s customer base has grown.

“When I first started this business, it was partly so I could express my own creativity, but also to help consumers with specific food requests – particularly those who were celiac,” the store owner said. “Back then, there was a specialty food store at Toronto General (Hospital) that met those needs, but I felt it would be helpful to give the consumer someplace else to get those food and learn about the nutriceutical industry.”

In the store’s early days, it focused on healthy eating choices while offering a few herbs and supplements as well. As healthy food has become more mainstream, Peaches & Green has shifted its focus to other areas, including everything from vitamins, supplements and healthy and environmentally conscious >>>GROWING, page 6

Marathon newbie nearly medals at Pan Am Deerpark resident ran first full marathon in May JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Despite a rough battle with heat, humidity and hills, the women competing in the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games women’s marathon acquitted themselves remarkably well.

Gladys Tejeda of Peru not only took home the gold but set a new Pan Am record, coming in at 2:33:03, more than three minutes better than the previous record of 2:36:37 held by silver medallist Adriana Da Silva from Brazil.

Both competitors, plus bronze medallist, American Lindsay Flanagan, beat the old record time.

While Canada was shut out of the medals, Torontonian Rachel Hannah finished fourth, an amazing feat considering she ran her first full marathon in May. The Deer Park area resident said

athlete playing it conservative was crucial given the conditions.

“That was hard in the beginning, just to hold back,” she said. “I kept saying ‘relax, patience, focus.’”

For a time, Hannah was in position to medal after one of the favourites, Peruvian Ines Melchor, dropped out. She said she was excited at that stage of the race, but a strong push by Flanagan combined with Hannah feeling slightly dehydrated combined to drop her to fourth.

“I wish I could have held on to it, but (Flanagan) had a fantastic race,” she said.

While Hannah was showing signs of fatigue with about 10 kilometres to go, she was able to hold off her challengers.

“It’s always good to have people running right up behind you,” she said, adding the hometown crowd helped immensely.

Canada’s Rachel Hannah, centre, runs ahead of event winner, Peru’s Gladys Tejeda, early in the Pan Am Games women’s marathon at the Ontario Place West Channel Saturday.

Hannah said living in Midtown Toronto helped her prepare for the Pan Ams. “It’s a great training area,” she said. “You’ve got (Mount Pleasant) Cemetery to run through, and

you’ve got Sunnybrook Park right there, too.”

Fellow Canadian Catherine Watkins finished ninth. She felt the hometown love from the Toronto crowd, as well.

“When I was feeling down, they were in all the right spots (along the route) and on the road it was ‘we love you Catherine’ and ‘go Catherine,’” she said. “You can’t get any better than that.”

The large contingent of Peruvian supporters were certainly thrilled with Tejeda’s win.

“Ines had to quit, which is too bad, but we’re proud of Gladys Tejeda,” said Peruvian-Canadian Eliana Vargas.

She was impressed with the Pan Am Games as a whole. “It’s nice to see everyone – not just Toronto but people from all over – come together for this,” Vargas said. “Thumbs up to Toronto for these games.”

Canada beats USA for women’s basketball gold JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com An excited Canadian squad won the first ever Pan Am Games gold medal in women’s basketball, knocking off the USA by a final score of 81-73 at the Ryerson Athletic Centre on Monday night.

While the players and the vast majority of the nearcapacity crowd – there were a few U.S. fans sprinkled throughout – all went home thrilled with the result, the game offered plenty of tension.

The Americans roared out to a big lead early, riding an eight-point run to a 23-13 lead after the first quarter.

Come the start of the second quarter, however, both the Canadian women and the crowd picked things up, with the tone becoming more and more raucous as Canada roared back to take a 26-25 lead. The score wound up tied at 36 at the half, setting the

pan am games sports stage for an exciting second half.

Kia Nurse of Hamilton led the comeback, scoring 12 of her game-high 33 points in Canada’s electric second quarter.

The U.S. side’s slide coincided with a turned ankle suffered by one of its star players, Moriah Jefferson, in the second. She stepped on Canadian centre Natalie Achonwa’s foot and briefly left the court with a noticeable limp. While she returned to the game shortly thereafter, she was clearly not the same, only scoring two of her 14 points after the fall.

The home side continued to pour it on in the third, out scoring the U.S. 26-15, with centre Natalie Achonwa of Guelph dropping nine points in the quarter. At that point, the crowd was cheering

every Canadian basket and was nearly as enthusiastic over every missed shot by the Americans.

W h i l e Ca n a d a’s l e a d appeared comfortable late in the third – the team was up by 18 late in the quarter – a 13-0 run by the U.S. brought them

to within five in the fourth.

The teams continued to battle until the end, with both sides starting to draw more fouls. Both teams had a scare in the fourth when Nurse and Jefferson banged heads while going after a loose ball, but both players gutted out the

But there could only be one winner and Canada came out on top, beating Uruguay 2-0.

“This win was critical,” said head coach Ian Rutledge.

“This is our last Olympic qualifier; you can’t compete for the Olympics if you’re not in the semifinals.”

Coming off a 2-1 record in the preliminaries, beating The Dominican Republic and Mexico, and losing to Argentina, team Canada seemed determined to win, but had a slow start to the game.

The score remained 0-0 after 30 minutes of play.

In the second quarter Canada scored, but it wasn’t counted because it bounced off a player’s shoe, much to the disappointment of the crowd and the team.

Visibly frustrated Canada was visibly frustrated on the field as their chances to score were constantly thwarted by Uruguay’s ironclad defense. It was a roller coaster first half, but the game started to pick up in the third quarter.

Defender Abigail Raye was able to push past Uruguay’s defenders to score the team’s first goal of the game, bringing the score to 1-0, 36 minutes into the game.

“We’re a young team and the focus for us has been our game and our plan,” said

Karli Johansen scored the team’s second goal of the night, sealing their fate to advance to the semifinals set for yesterday (after The Mirror’s press time) against the United States who won their quarter-final match 15-0 over the Dominican Republic.

“We had a practice match against them a month ago and we played really well.”

end of the game.

After the win, veteran point guard Shona Thorburn said the team was proud of the win and is looking to keep the momentum going.

“You know we have another enormous tournament which is just as important if not more important in a couple of weeks, so this is just the beginning,” she said, referring to the upcoming FIBA Americas Women’s Championships, which could earn the squad a 2016 Olympic berth.

She lauded Nurse’s play in the gold medal game though she joked she had some concerns about her teammate prior to tip-off.

“At shootaround, I was ‘gosh, she’s really amped up.

We might have to bring her down a little,’” she said. “She can stay like that all day if that’s how she’s going to play every night.”

Nurse was humble about her standout performance, crediting her teammates

for helping her play to her strengths. She said she’d never envisioned carrying as much of her team’s offensive load as she did Monday night.

“It’s definitely something I didn’t imagine,” she said. “I felt a little down in the warmup today, a little energyless, and I guess I chugged a Powerade and that must have helped.”

She noted her knack for coming up big in big games – a trait she has shown in her collegiate career at the University of Connecticut – comes from her “competitive family.”

“Getting to watch my brother (professional hockey player Darnell Nurse) do all those crazy things for himself...you get to kind of one-up him, it’s a good feeling,” she laughed.

Fan excitement palpable at Canadian women’s field hockey game HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com It was a family affair at the women’s field hockey quarterfinal round.

The stands were packed with family members, parents, cousins and siblings of the Canadian team who showed up to cheer them on Monday night.

Fans and family cheered as the team walked on the side of the field and began warming up at Pan Am/Parapan Am Fields (PAF) before their match against Uruguay.

“We’re feeling good about the games,” said Julie Stairs of Kitchener, whose daughter Brienne Stairs plays midfield on the team. “I’m not nervous at all. They’ve got this.”

Her husband, Blake, however was a little nervous.

“In field hockey anything can happen. We’d like to think that we’ll be successful,” he said. “But if Uruguay scores the first goal or even the second goal then there’s a little bit of concern, when it shouldn’t be.

They finished third on the B side and we finished second on the A side.”

Julie said this game should be in the bag for Canada because they’ve played Uruguay before in Spain about a month ago and beat them no problem. However, the Pan Am Games is a bigger stage and the pressure is on to not only advance at this game, but also to qualify for the 2016 Olympics.

“This is a big deal. There’s a lot of pressure to do well at these games,” she said. “God forbid they choke.”

So far the women’s team has only lost to Argentina, which remains undefeated at the games.

This is the first Pan Am Game Lynn has seen her daughter play in and she’s confident it’ll be a winning game.

The crowd was in good spirits as they chanted “CA-NA-DA” and “Go Canada Go” with a cow bell and claps to keep the team pumped as the sun set on the field.

Take ‘Toronto’ sign on tour after Pan Am Games

ast week, Mayor John Tory took to Twitter to ask Torontonians where the ‘Toronto’ sign, now in front of Nathan Phillips Square, should travel

next.

Ideas for the huge multi-coloured sign will be accepted until the end of the Parapan Am Games (Aug. 15) and should be Tweeted to @JohnTory with the hashtag #TORONTOsign The fun social media campaign is looking to crowdsource ideas for where the sign should be placed next – it’s scheduled to stay in front of Toronto City Hall until the end of the year. In a short video introducing the campaign, Tory cites places such as High Park, YongeDundas Square, and even jokes about putting the sign outside the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, home of the NHL’s Senators.

Suggestions and photographs our view with the sign plunked somewhere in Toronto have started coming in: Build unity the new George Brown Campus, the Scarborough Bluffs, a resiby sharing dential neighbourhood, and even our sign perched atop the CN Tower.

Some ideas are funny, others logical, and some just ridiculous. However, what this sign does offer Torontonians is a way to weigh in on how the city can connect. It’s one city, so the #TORONTOsign should visit every corner of Toronto. It would be a great way to build unity across the city.

Imagine coming upon the sign in Mel Lastman Square, at Artscape Wychwood Barns, or the Guild Inn Park. Maybe as an entry point along the major highways coming into the city. How about walking along Queen Street in Parkdale and coming upon the sign at the amphitheatre at Dufferin Street?

Maybe Councillor Norm Kelly is right, and the sign could sit above the Scarborough Bluffs looking out across Lake Ontario. How about Sunnyside Beach, the Financial District, Todmorden Mills or the Junction train platform? Toronto is considered a city within a park so why not a travelling park tour?

One thing is certain: the sign, installed for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, shouldn’t outstay its welcome. It should be on a tour of the entire city until it lets Torontonians feel they have connected with other Torontonians.

This tour could pique interest in other areas of the city many people have not seen. It’s tough to get the west to travel east, or the north to head south. But, a #TORONTOsign might jump-start that migration.

Pondering a new role for UP Express route Next week, the tunnel connecting the mainland to Billy Bishop Airport on the Toronto islands will be open to the air-travelling public – becoming the second piece of air-travel infrastructure to come online in Toronto this year.

The first opened its doors less than a month ago – the Union Pearson Express train service running from Union Station through Weston to Pearson International Airport.

It is telling that these two pieces – one privately funded and the other using federal and provincial dollars – are providing transportation services to people with passports and plane tickets and cash.

Meanwhile, transit improvements for the rest of us, simply trying to get around town day-to-day, plod along at their own pace, in the best case fully funded and at worst pie-inthe-sky political dreams.

It is in this context that I look at the TTCriders’ sug-

david nickle the city gestion last weekend that Metrolinx simply give up the Union Pearson Express as a mass-transit route, with a bit more sympathy than usual.

The advocacy group based their argument on what seems a dubious study of their own, spending a morning rush-hour counting the number of riders going in and out of the Pearson station of the line, and counted just 14 on each train.

Metrolinx offers up slightly better numbers and maintains that the new $27.50-a-ride train to the airport is a success.

Yet, there is compelling reason to think about what the express might do for the morning commute – and that has to do with the morning commute itself.

As matters stand, the TTC is busting at the

seams, and city council, in its wisdom, has decided to prioritize costly transit improvements that won’t provide relief very soon and will likely become even more costly.

The Scarborough subway extension that council approved will likely have to be realigned, to make way for Mayor John Tory’s SmartTrack surface rail that follows at a point the precise same route as the subway.

And SmartTrack could run into its own problems, particularly in the west end through Etobicoke, on

land that the city no longer owns.

Putting commuters on trains on the Union Pearson line would immediately reduce the need, if there ever was one, for that western SmartTrack line.

It is not, of course, as easy as that.

The 15-minute service currently available in each direction for SmartTrack would probably have to be increased.

Politically, abandoning air travellers for transit users would involve a mea culpa for the Premier Kathleen Wynne government and Metrolinx that might be untenable.

It is, however, easy to get resentful while packed into a subway car, thinking of the ease those few wellheeled travellers have now, making their way from their suite at the Royal York Hotel to the departure lounge at Pearson.

Nunavut, Toronto youth combine talents for mural JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com A massive new mural on Church Street took more than hard work from the talented artists who painted it – it took a helping hand from Toronto’s arts community at large.

The Piliriqatigiingniq Mural was a unique partnership between a group of youth artists from Cape Dorset in Nunavut and the Oasis Skateboard Factory in Toronto. The massive piece, which overlooks a parking lot on the south end of 76 Church St., nearly didn’t happen.

It had originally been planned for another site a bit further east on Jarvis Street, but that plan fell through at the last minute, leaving the organizers scrambling.

“The building owner (of the original planned site) was all on board, but then about two weeks before the kids came down (from Nunavut) to paint it, she pulled out,” said Alexa Hatanaka of the Embassy of Imagination, the organization that facilitated the project. “I guess she decided she didn’t want the mural on her building.”

That left the painters scrambling for a replacement site – no small feat in Toronto.

Artists Parr Etidloie, left, Cie Taqiasuk, Latch Akesuk and Audi Qinnuayuaq get together Thursday in front of a mural they painted on Church Street.

The artists came from Cape Dorset, Nunavut and partnered with young graduates of the Oasis Skateboard Factory to create the piece.

“It takes a long time to find a wall and you have to worry about the logistics – where it is, how big it is, the condition of the wall,” Hatanaka said. Fortunately, word of the project spread throughout the arts community. Arts organizations began pool-

ing their contacts, people started reaching out to building owners and a new location was found, on the wall of HI-Toronto Hostel.

The colourful mural depicts a man carrying a snowmobile on his back. Atop the snowmobile is a large

collection of animals and images from the far north.

“The guy carrying the snowmobile is my grandfather,” said 16-year-old Parr Etidloie, one of the Cape Dorset artists, at a mural unveiling ceremony Thursday, July 16.

“I heard stories of his snowmobile breaking down and he would carry it on his back.”

The mural took some ingenuity and true collaboration between the Cape Dorset youth and the young artists who recently graduated from Oasis Skateboard Factory.

One challenge was that although Cape Dorset is an arts-based community – some 40 per cent of the town’s residents make their living through traditional art – muralpainting is not common there.

To make it work, the participants worked together, each making the most of their individual skills.

Ward 27 Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam noted the mural brings a lot of colour to the community and showcases both the culture and the collaborative nature of Canadians.

“With the (health food) industry being more mature, the products have migrated into other channels, so now we’re essentially a boutique,” Chow said.

The growing awareness over healthy living and the rise of specialized medicine streams means staff at Peaches & Green must be fully in the know when it comes to the best choices for customers.

That, of course, entails an in-depth knowledge of every product in the store, what those products are, what ingredients go into them, how they may interact with clients’ medications and how they may impact clients given their unique health needs.

“We have a very limited set of brands, and it’s not a lot of common brands, but we want to make sure we don’t stock anything that we don’t feel is the right choice for our customers,” Chow said.

Maker Extravaganza is set for Aug. 1 and 2 >>>from page 1 them hold workshops all year round and some are just doing it for the festival, but we want people to know what kinds of interesting things are going on in their city.”

While just learning about these high- and low-tech creative spaces in the city would make for an interesting day, being able to actually participate in many of the events in a hands-on way will add another layer to the festival.

“We want to nudge participants toward making something or being creative,” Verbakel said.

The festival also aims to bring about the next genera-

tion of makers. Some events, such as the grand opening of MakerKids, a cartoon class and a kids’ computer coding class, will cater specifically to youngsters.

For older makers and tech and craft enthusiasts, satellite events will cover everything from cocktails to DIY sound synthesizers to 3D printing. There will also be events that will appeal to the more advanced maker community.

“MakeChange will be hosting the first maker conference in Toronto,” Verbakel said. “There’s a group called DIYbio and they’ll be promoting awareness around

open-source biotech.”

Following a launch event on Thursday, July 23, the Maker Festival’s various satellite events will run at sites across the city from July 25 to 31, leading up to the Maker Extravaganza on Aug. 1 and 2.

That event will serve as the festival’s signature event, and organizers expect it to draw at least as many people as last year’s Maker Faire.

“We’ll take up two floors of the Reference Library with about 100 different booths from makers from Toronto and around the GTA,” Verbakel said. “This year, we’ll have a fairly large-scale cake deco-

rating workshop, which will be fun. There will also be the traditional soldering workshop, which has thousands of people coming through, a workshop where people can 3D print jewelry... there will be some low-tech and some that are more high-tech, like (computer) coding.”

Admission to the Maker Extravaganza is free, though some of the workshops will charge a nominal fee to cover the cost of materials.

Admission costs for satellite events are determined by the host organizations.

Hess-Childs said he is looking forward to living in a new city. He’s headed to Montreal’s McGill University for math and physics with a goal of becoming a professor.
