Portion of IT’S ABOUT THE DETAILS King Street to close during TIFF AMANDA JEROME ccm@insidetoronto.com The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) announced their first lineup of films Tuesday, as well as a special announcement that a portion of King Street will be closed during the festival. King, between University Avenue and Peter Street, will be turned into a pedestrianfriendly zone the first four days of the festival. The section will be called Festival Street and will serve as an area for TIFF attendees to mix and mingle in between screenings of the world premieres, which there are 37 at this year’s festival. The first four days will be dedicated to them. “It’s only four days,” said TIFF CEO Piers Handling. “I know there’s a lot of street closures, but we hope people understand this is a huge festival for Toronto. It brings $2 million a year to the city. Hopefully people will get out and enjoy it.” This year’s festival theme is ‘This is Your Film Festival’, which Handling said speaks to the fact the TIFF experience is about the audience. “The audience is the most important stakeholder in the festival,” he said. “It’s their festival. It’s not about media or >>>FIRST, page 7

Woburn Park reopens with lots to celebrate JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Residents in the Ledbury Park area can now enjoy a massively upgraded park, with a facelift to another neighbourhood green space just around the corner. Dozens of people crowded

around the new play areas in Woburn Park, near Bathurst Street and Lawrence Avenue, on Monday afternoon to celebrate the official unveiling with councillor Karen Stintz, Mayor Rob Ford and residents who worked to make the new play areas a reality.

The new Woburn Park features a large play area to replace the decrepit wooden structure previously in the space. It also offers a large rope climbing structure for older children, helping to open the park to more users. “We first started envisioning

this park about a year and a half ago,” said Stintz, who said the roughly $400,000 it cost to upgrade the space came from city coffers and development fees. “We decided we needed a place for everyone – we needed a place for dogs, we needed a >>>BROOKDALE, page 12

While nearby residents came out to celebrate the reopening of Woburn Park, there was little question most of the media members attended for a different reason. A throng of reporters followed Mayor Rob Ford around throughout much of the park’s opening celebration, asking him about matters ranging from the upcoming Ford Fest to allegations of improper business dealings at City Hall with clients of the Ford family-owned Deco Labels and Tags to his determination to continue with his campaign to be reelected as mayor. The mayor’s visit to the park – with wife Renata and their two children in tow – started off on a light note when Ford pulled off his suit jacket and climbed a new “space net” climbing structure alongside his son and other children. Current councillor and mayoral hopeful Karen Stintz, who held the park opening, noted Ford was invited as a matter of protocol, given his role as Mayor of Toronto. The media promptly made the special guest a focal point of the entire event, however. Ford bristled when questioned about the propriety of holding this Friday’s Ford Fest at Scarborough’s Thomson Memorial Park when campaign regulations specifically forbid the issuance of city permits for campaign events. “This is 19 years (that Ford Fest has gone on) and it gets a little emotional because my dad’s not here with us and he started it,” he said. “It started in 1995, we’ve had it every single year and we’re going to continue to have it every single year.” He said all mayoral candidates, councillors and anyone else who would like to attend are welcome. He added he did not have enough time to secure an alcohol permit for the event,

denying the lack of alcohol was related to his heavily publicized recent stint in rehab. “If people want to drink, go ahead,” he said. “I’m not drinking, I cannot drink, but I’m not going to be this guy that’s holier than thou and say you can’t drink.” Ford and his brother, councillor Doug Ford, have also come under fire recently for allegedly using their influence to help companies that had dealings with Deco Labels. Ford said his decision to help the companies – including Apollo Health and Beauty Spa, which sought Ford’s assistance as it applied for a property tax break – was simply a matter of him doing what he does as mayor. “I help out anyone that calls me,” he told reporters. “If you think I give preferential treatment to anyone, you prove it – you write that story.”

Ford said he was “as honest as the day is long” when it comes to taxpayer money and said he has “never taken a dime” from the public. When asked whether he had any plans to drop out of the mayoral race given his travails, with an eye to possibly running for a council seat once again, he said he was committed to being reelected as mayor of the city in October. “I’ve never quit anything in my life,” he said. “I’m not quitting this and we’re going to win this on Oct. 27.” While some in the crowd were frustrated with the fact the opening of their local park had effectively been co-opted by the mayor, Stintz was diplomatic about the fact that more attention was paid to Ford than to the new playgrounds. “He’s the mayor of the city and I’m glad the opening of our park got more attention because of it,” she said.

St. Alban’s Boys & Girls Club hosts Power of the Purse JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Staff and youth at the St. Alban’s Boys & Girls Club are turning to the Power of the Purse to help turn their dreams of a new and improved multimedia room into a reality. The club currently has a small space where St. Alban’s members can use computers, but that space is in dire need of an upgrade. “There are currently a few Macs in there and some are kind of working, but kind of not working, and they only have a few programs they can run,” said Anna Sturino, the club’s director of operations. “All the computers were donated, so we’re grateful, but we could do a lot more. We’d like to have an actual room with at least eight full units with all the programs on them.” The space would serve some 500 youth from priority neighbourhoods, including those from the Bathurst/

Dupont area in which the St. Alban’s Boys & Girls Club is located. Other youth from Weston-Mount Dennis, Lawrence Heights and Jane/ Finch will also have access to the room and multimedia programming. Upgrading the existing computer room would allow the club to offer state-of-theart programming in film and video production, recording, audio-visual technician work, animation, Photoshop, editing and more. “Basically, anything our youth have expressed an interest in – as long as it’s reasonable – we’ll be able to provide,” Sturino said. To help cover the cost of the $25,000 room, the club is holding a Power of the Purse fundraiser, in which it will auction off high-end handbags along with other prizes. While the event itself will not take place until September, the club is currently seeking sponsors, donations and other assis-

tance in ensuring the idea takes off. “We’re hoping to have a huge selection of bags for men and women – not just purses, but satchel bags, gym

bags and beach bags,” Sturino said. “We’ll also have a few big prizes like two free WestJet tickets and a blind bid for a free week of camp for a kid at St. Alban’s.”

Sturino got the idea for a Power of the Purse fundraiser when she heard a colleague had conducted a similar fundraiser. She said she hopes the St. Alban’s event is successful

and leads to the club hosting further Power of the Purse events in the future. “It would be great if we can keep doing this every year,” she said. Sturino said the drive to collect bags to auction off has been a piecemeal affair so far, with a few local sponsors and individual donations bolstering the supply. “If we can get a presenting sponsor, that would really help,” she said. “We’re also hoping for any kind of donation. With cash donations, we’ll wait until there’s a really great sale on and buy some purses to auction off.” Should the event bring in the necessary dollars, the hope is that the St. Alban’s Boys & Girls Club’s upgraded multimedia room will be up and running before Christmas. The Power of the Purse will take place Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 99 Sudbury.

Newly formed musical duo 1st Class play at Unity Festival

“

Downtown guitarist Mitch Nugent and Scarborough vocalist Y.J.E. find their groove JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com

hough they have only been working together for a short time, musical duo 1st Class have quickly found their groove. Consisting of downtown Toronto resident Mitch Nugent on guitar and vocals and Scarborough resident Yannick Essomba (who goes by the stage name Y.J.E.) on vocals, the band came together after the latter saw the former competing in a competition at Ryerson University. “I like pop and indie stuff and he’s into hip hop, so we have different styles, but he’s really good with lyrics and I put together the melodies and it works,” Nugent said. They started working together in the second semester at Ryerson and

quickly found their diverse styles meshed even better than they had hoped. “From the first day we met each other, we felt like we had something,” Essomba said. The duo will perform at the Unity Festival, a fourday celebration of young talent. Their first audition for the judges, however, made it seem unlikely they would make the grade for the show. “We did a cover – Old School Love by (Lupe Fiasco featuring Ed Sheeran) – and they didn’t seem too impressed,” Nugent said. “We said then ‘we should show them what we’ve got’ and now we’ll be doing our own material in the show.” The festival gives young artists a chance to showcase their skills in music, beatboxing, breakdancing, spoken word and graffiti art. In addition to up-and-

comers from the GTA, it will feature headliners such as Maestro Fresh Wes and Biz Markie. “I like what Unity’s all about,” said Essomba, who performed without his current musical partner in last year’s event. “It gives youth a chance to showcase what they can do.” “One of the things they promote is ‘express your stress with the skills for success.’” The Unity charity was founded by Michael Prosserman and some of his friends when the group were all in high school. He himself was a talented breakdancer, and he wanted to help give young artists a chance to express themselves in a positive way. “It’s a way to empower youth through hip hop,” Prosserman said. “We look for acts who share our

values of respect, passion, integrity and community.” While the charity is best known for the Unity Festival, it conducts youth workshops in schools in atrisk communities throughout the GTA and in cities such as Calgary, Halifax and Fort McMurray. The organization has also grown to the point where it now has some of

the young people who have benefited from the training it provides working as paid staff. “The festival’s like our fireworks, but it’s not what we do – it just shows the talent that’s out there,” Prosserman said. For the members of 1st Class, the power of music has helped them become fast friends while also

providing an escape from the pressures of university and life. “You can use music to get through anything,” Nugent said. “I’m studying business, and being able to play music is a great break that lets me clear my head and express another side of me.” The duo is currently working on a debut EP and has a few videos uploaded to its YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/ YannickJosephEssomba). The band will perform as part of the Unity Festival, which started yesterday at various venues and runs until to Saturday.

t happened on Monday and it will probably happen again. Rob Ford will attend an event and hecklers will protest against him, turning whatever the intended purpose of the event was into a sideshow of the debate over the competency and morality of Ford continuing as mayor. It’s a bad situation, which needs to be re-examined both by the Ford campaign and those opposed to him. On Monday, Ford attended the opening ceremonies for Woburn Park in the North Toronto area. The park means a lot to residents who live in the area, but you would never have known that by the circus surrounding Ford. Hecklers interrupted him, and the media fired questions at him about his time our view in rehab, his use of drugs and more while Ford posed for photos on playground equipment. What Protestors wasn’t discussed was Woburn helping, not Park. It was a similar scene at the launch of the Pan Am/ hurting Ford recent Parapan Am Games countdown clock in Nathan Phillips Square. It’s one year until Toronto hosts the Games, but much of the event seemed to be dominated by a confrontation between an angry Ford supporter and those protesting against the mayor and the media in general. Both sides need to do better. Ford needs to respect the difference between a community event and a campaign event; and so do those who are following him around protesting. There is nothing more for the protesters to gain if they want to complain about Ford’s personal life. Whether they are wearing shirts or not, they need to stick to the issues of the campaign. Yelling at Ford about crack smoking gains them nothing. Right now, the protesters are probably helping Ford more than hurting him. What we want from this mayoral campaign is some solid, fact-based discussion on how to pay for transit improvements in Toronto, whether to abolish or stay with the Land Transfer Tax and how to attract and keep businesses operating within the city’s borders. Those questions need to be asked and answered in an appropriate manner, rather than in the circus-like atmosphere in which the mayoral campaign is currently taking place.

Summer fun on the streets of Toronto

he local calendar was packed to the brim last weekend. In addition to the Jays/ Texas Rangers series and the Honda Indy, there had to be at least a dozen street festivals, too. I never realized we had that many festivals going on at one time. I was so intrigued I figured I’d check them all out. Then the rain came pouring down on Saturday which meant, if I was actually going to do it, instead of the luxury of spreading them out evenly over the weekend I’d have to jam them all in to one day. It was a tall order, to be sure. But, hey, I like challenges. So I got up bright and early Sunday morning hopped in the car intent on giving it my best shot. I decided to start with a classic, the Extremely Popular Annual DowntownFest. You couldn’t ask for a better one to kick things off and I was really pumped.

jamie wayne guest column Alas, I never made it. No matter which direction I turned I kept running into DisruptionFest. It’s been growing year after year, but I’ve never been a big fan. It’s always the same old, same old and this year was true to form. At virtually every intersection I was re-routed by its partner street fairs: ConstructionFest, Road ClosureFest, DetourFest, You Name ItFest. And Not Necessarily In That OrderFest. I’m not crazy about of any of them, either. They really get my goat, who incidentally is also not too fond of them, as it turns out. What troubles us is that they’re tied to three other fests that we don’t particularly care for either: the Seemingly Endless Gardiner Expressway MaintenanceFest, the

Ubiquitous Way Overdue Pothole FixFest and one making its inauspicious debut this summer, the Doing A Lot Of Miscellaneous Repairs Now In Hopes Of Somehow Averting The Anticipated Commuting Nightmares During The Pan Am Games Next SummerFest. Also known as Lots Of LuckFest. The offshoot? Local traffic gets to the virtual StandstillFest. Ah yes, the legendary Standstillfest. Where you’re serenaded in the background by the not so dulcet tones of Driver Expletive DeletedFest and Horn HonkingFest, which, neither me nor my goat are also not too wild about, if you’re keeping score at tome. Nope, it wasn’t quite the best way to start my festival search. So I decided to turn the car around, drop it off at home and once re-energized, head to the subway for a fresh start. It was just what the doctor

ordered. Once through the turnstiles, the smile quickly returned to my face. Alas, just a few stops after I hopped on the train there was a familiar weekend message on the intercom system: Passengers were being ordered to hop off and advised to make their way to the bus platform for Shuttlefest. It was tempting, to be sure, but I just wasn’t in the mood. So I declined the offer and decided to do the rest of my street festival seeking on foot. As soon as I got outside the station I took a deep breath. Then another. And another. After which I immediately started coughing. Just my luck. I was smack dab in the middle of SmogFest. Oh well, there’s always next weekend. Jamie Wayne takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much. You can contact the writer at jamie.wayne@sympatico.ca

Celebrating the grand opening of Corktown Common JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Corktown Common, a once-abandoned, post-industrial site just west of the lower Don River, is now officially open for all to enjoy. Last Thursday, community members, stakeholders and representatives from all three levels of government gathered at the urban park’s pavilion to mark its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting. Residents were invited to the park later that afternoon for a community picnic celebration. “It is a very special day for the communities that came together 17 years ago to form the West Don Lands Committee (WDLC),” said Cindy Wilkie, a 20-plus year downtown east resident. “We imagined the park as the centerpiece of a new sustainable neighbourhood,” she said. “We never, ever imagined that the park would be so magnificent. Thank you to everyone that made this happen.” Four years in the making, the 18-acre re-naturalized green space aims to reconnect the long-neglected area southeast of the downtown core with the rest of the city as well as

celebrate the area’s native ecology. Roughly 19 times the size of Yonge-Dundas Square, Corktown Common (previously known as Don River Park) was built atop a flood protection landform designed to prevent a flood on the 245-acre area that extends over to the city’s Financial District. Landscape architects Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc. designed the $27-million downtown east park, which was funded by all three levels of government. “We can only do these things when levels of government work together,” said Glen Murray, Toronto Centre MPP and recently appointed Minister of the Environment and Climate Change. Wa rd 2 8 C o u n c i l l o r Pa m McConnell echoed Murray’s sentiments. Calling Corktown Common a “magnet for our community and a magnet for Toronto,” she said the new green space is a great example of “what you can do with abandoned land when everyone works together.” She said Corktown Common is a place all can be proud of. “This is an amazing piece of infrastructure. It’s remarkable. … It’s

Something for everyone Corktown Common was developed with two portions: a dry or city side and a wet or river side. Located on the western side of the park, the 8.9-acre dry/city side offers a hilltop playground, open field areas for organized sports and other activities such as picnics, sledding and concerts, a solar-powered pavilion with washrooms, a kitchenette, an exterior wood-burning fireplace area, a naturalized playground and marsh area and a splash pad with a rubber surface. Overall, the new green space will also have walking trails, multiuse bike paths a boardwalk and a performance/meeting place.

everything for everyone,” McConnell said. Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly said the park offers “a diversity of benefits; not only to the immediate community, but to the city as a whole.” Calling parks “economic catalysts”, he said Corktown Common shows the world Toronto is a “progressive, thoughtful, stylish, energetic, dynamic place to invest your money.” Mark Wilson, chair of Waterfront Toronto, said the park servers many purposes. “This place is a great

park for people; it plays a role as a great piece of infrastructure for the people of Toronto and it also creates economic value,” he said. “We’re creating a real, diverse Toronto community. Who wouldn’t want to live here?” The event also included a presentation of an artist’s rendering of the park to area resident Tedd Konya, who came up with the winning name for the new green space.

First four days of festival to be dedicated to world premieres >>>from page 1 competition, but about people enjoying movies.” Handling said he’s had a lot of stars and directors tell him how much they love TIFF because it’s about the public. Tuesday’s press conference released just more than 50 titles in the festival’s lineup. Canadian talent such as David Cronenberg (Maps

to the Stars), Jean-Marc Vallée (Wild), Jason Reitman (Men, Women and Children) and Philippe Falardeau (The Good Lie), will be showcasing films this fall. It was also announced Alan Rickman’s A Little Chaos will close the festival at Roy Thompson Hall Sept. 13. Rickman said he was pleased with the news because he feels a certain

kinship to the city. “It is a great privilege for A Little Chaos to have its world premiere in Toronto and for it to be given the festival’s closing night gala, but it is also a very personal pleasure,” Rickman said in a press release. “I have filmed in the city, visited often, and some of my closest friends live there. It will be like coming home.”

A Little Chaos is a historical drama starring Kate Winslet, Ma t t h i a s S c h o e n a e r t s, Rickman and Stanley Tucci. The story revolves around Sabine De Barra (Winslet) who is invited to design a fountain at the Palace of Versailles. Through her personal battles and rivals at the court of Louis XIV, she finds

herself being drawn to the architect who hired her. “A Little Chaos is the perfect closing night film – it transports audiences to another time, another place, full of beauty, complexity, rivalry, politics and romance,” said TIFF Artistic Director Cameron Bailey. “Alan Rickman’s film

will wind audiences up just as our festival is winding down.” TIFF is celebrating its 39th year and will run from Sept. 4 to 14. A list of released titles can be found at tiff.net

>>>from page 1 place for kids and we needed open space.” The councillor credited residents in the area with bringing the new park to life, with a small working group leading the design process. “They picked every piece of the play structure,” she said. The main new play structure is built to last, with multiple slides and climbing features. Swings and other features are nearby, all atop a springy, solid surface. “It used to be a wooden play structure with a slide and monkey bars, all on sand,” said Woburn Park working group member Daniel Shields. “This is so much better for the kids, but what we really wanted to push for was to have something to cater to kids of all ages.”

To that end, the nearby “space net” climbing structure gives older kids something fun to do in the park. “Eight-to-12-year-olds often get missed in parks, so we wanted to install equipment that was more appealing to them,” said Woburn Park working group member Sherri Glassberg. While it was important to ensure kids of all ages had somewhere to play, the working group was just as committed to ensuring Woburn Park’s green space remained unfettered by play structures. “There aren’t many green spaces around here where it’s just open and green, so keeping the field was something we had to have,” Shields said. Stintz agreed, noting the working group put in countless hours to ensure the park was still a place where Best Buy CORRECTION NOTICE people could come and watch their kids play, NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE BEST BUY JULY 18 CORPORATE FLYER In the July 18 flyer, page 5, the Bose QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic throw a Frisbee or a Noise-Cancelling Headphones (WebCode: 10173935) were advertised with an incorrect price.

are spaces for every generation – play areas for younger and older kids, the green space, tennis courts and seating,” she said. The rejuvenated Woburn Park drew a huge crowd on the day it opened, but it won’t remain the newest park in the area for long. Brookdale Park, near Avenue Road and Lawrence Avenue, is also currently being upgraded and is set to reopen on July 30. Greenberg, who is also on the working group for that park, said the two green spaces will offer plenty of variety for neighbourhood families. She added the revitalization of the two green spaces fosters more of a sense of pride in the community and will encourage neighbourhood kids to spend more time enjoying the outdoors in the busy area. Woburn Park is located off Woburn Avenue, just east of Bathurst Street, a few blocks north of Lawrence.

DETOUR UPDATE AT â&#x2014;&#x2014;Starting EGLINTON WEST this week pedestrians

looking to get to Eglinton West Station have to detour around the Eglinton Crosstown LRT construction site at the intersection of Allen Road and Eglinton Avenue West. Metrolinx has created new walkway areas while it continues Crosstown tunnel shaft construction at the intersection. Those walking to the

station from the west will now have to detour north via Park Hill Road and then back south to Eglinton. Pedestrians coming from the east will no longer be able to cross at the Allen Road northbound ramp, which is closed due to the construction, but will instead have to cross from the south side of Eglinton via a detour travelling through Ben Nobleman Park.
