Northern celebrates new sports field JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com After years of at-times contentious discussion, Northern Secondary School students and members of the surrounding community were finally able to celebrate the opening of the new Clarke Pulford Field.

While work on the field was completed in June, the school held an official opening ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 6, ringing in the new field with a celebration and a pair of Northern Red Knights football games.

“We’ve had a couple of games on the field this fall and ever since work was done in June there have been kids out there playing Frisbee and enjoying it on sunny days,” said Northern principal Ron Felsen.

“We wanted to have a proper celebration with a ceremony to recognize all the people who have been part of this.”

The original field was in a severe state of disrepair, and efforts to fix it up started in earnest years ago.

Despite the need for a new field, early plans calling for what some organizers dubbed the “Field of Dreams” were met with community opposition as some were suggesting a domed roof.

Residents in the area were concerned the dome would be an eyesore, that it would limit community use of the space and that the permitting of the space to more and more groups would mean increased street parking from those living outside of the community.

The current field fits in with the community far better, according to residents. The new Clarke Pulford Field, named for a beloved former Northern Secondary School gym teacher, includes a professionalgrade football field and soccer pitch

and a 400-metre running track.

The surface is FieldTurf, which will ensure it is weather-proof and safe.

“Some of the kids were practicing on the field and they remarked ‘I can’t believe my uniform is so white still,’” said Northern Secondary School Foundation board member and past president Dale Callender.

“The rain drains right off it. It’s so much better than what was there before.”

The field was a long time coming as it required agreements between a number of partners, including the community, developers, the Toronto District School Board, parents and students.

The new Clarke Pulford Field will be used primarily for Northern gym classes and sporting events, but will also host the North Toronto Soccer Club.

The community will also have use of the field when it is not being @CCMirror

used by the school or other permitholders. “It’s been an up-and-down process, but now that it’s done, it’s been done really well,” Callender said. “The difference between the original concept for the Field of Dreams and the Clarke Pulford Field project is amazing.”

Northern ended up splitting the football games, both against Etobicoke’s Richview Collegiate, the seniors losing 21-8; the juniors winning 14-12.

The newly-opened Regent Park Arts and Cultural Centre will host some of the world’s top spoken word artists when SPEAKout Poetry hosts a spoken word festival on Sunday, Oct. 21.

The event, dubbed Ideas Worth Rhyming, will feature 2010 World Poetry Slam winner Ian Kateku, Def Jam artist Shihan, and a slate of some 300 others in an effort to motivate young Regent Park residents to work for social change. Some of the artists will be from Regent Park.

“Our aim is to highlight the points that bring us together, where our lives overlap, through meaningful entertainment,” said SPEAKout cofounder Besma Soltan. “We’ll have poets performing pieces about local topics and looking to inspire others.”

In addition to the performances, SPEAKout will host workshops to get more Regent Park youth involved in spoken word poetry.

“The workshops are for people who want to grow their talents,” Soltan said. “Spoken word teaches people transferable skills. They get creative writing skills which you need everywhere and performance skills.”

Soltan said SPEAKout started up in 2009 after a group of young people conceived of the idea while on a retreat in 2008. They settled on creating a not-for-profit that celebrates spoken word performance in part to help give spoken word artists a >>>ONE-DAY, page 6

Heart and Stroke launches The Undeading campaign JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com With Halloween just around the corner, the Heart and Stroke Foundation is urging Torontonians to learn to raise the dead.

The foundation teamed up with the Toronto Zombie Walk for a tongue-in-cheek campaign dubbed The Undeading to encourage people to become CPR trained.

Heart and Stroke launched the campaign at Yonge-Dundas Square Oct. 4, with staff members descending on the square in zombie makeup for the launch of a three-minute promotional video.

“We thought it was a fun way to capture people’s attention about a very serious topic,” said Teresa Roncon, Heart and Stroke Foundation spokesperson. “We all need to get CPR training and we all need to act on our training if the need comes up.”

The zombie video was selected – along with the slogan ‘CPR makes you undead’ – to attract a younger crowd.

“When you go into cardiac arrest, you’re technically dead,” Roncon said. “Like zombies, we’re trying to

make people undead, but for the right reasons.”

The campaign aims to dispel some of the myths about CPR. Statistics show 85 per cent of cardiac arrests happen outside of the hospital, and the save rate for those who suffer cardiac arrest outside of the hospital in Ontario is between five and six per cent. The Heart and Stroke Foundation points to Seattle as the ‘gold standard’ in terms of save rate, with roughly 16 per cent of those who go into cardiac arrest outside of the hospital surviving.

By becoming CPR trained, people can help boost Ontario’s low save rate.

“For every minute somebody does CPR, the chances of survival (for the victim) increases 10 per cent,” Roncon said. “You’re keeping blood pumping to the brain.”

She noted the steps to take when someone goes into cardiac arrest are simple. Start by calling 911 immediately before proceeding to perform CPR by pressing hard and fast on the person’s chest twice per second. For guidance, she said, try to follow the beat of the Bee Gee’s ‘Staying Alive.’

Roncon added it is crucial that

people not hesitate before performing CPR. “People think ‘what if I hurt them? What if I get sued?’” she said.

“Ontario has a Good Samaritan law that prevents people from getting sued, and you can’t hurt them.

If they’re not breathing, they’re dead.”

Adele Lamphier of the Toronto Zombie Walk said her group was happy to partner with the Heart and Stroke Foundation – even more so once they heard what the project was.

“We thought it was so much fun and so different for us,” she said.

Some participants also took part in a Nuit Blanche event in which they dressed as zombies and handed out flyers saying ‘run for your life.’

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is gearing up to challenge the World Record for CPR training with a group event at Canada’s Wonderland’s Halloween Haunt Oct. 25.

The Toronto Zombie Walk takes place Oct. 20 with festivities from noon until 8 p.m.

Humour Me - CEOs take the stage to raise money for at-risk youth JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Some of Toronto’s top business executives will transition from the boardroom to the stage to support youth initiatives when Humour Me returns for a second year.

Humour Me pits four executives against one another to perform short stand-up comedy routines, with the evening anchored by headliner Dana Carvey of Saturday Night Live fame.

The event was founded by former Dynamic Funds president and CEO David Goodman, who has staked out a strong reputation as a stand-up comedian himself.

Following a speech at his brother’s second wedding, a friend said Goodman had a knack for comedy and suggested he hone those skills at Humber College’s comedy program. From there, he started working open mic nights and worked his way up.

“A number of years ago, I tried my stuff out at Yuk Yuk’s, one thing led to another and now I’m I guess sort of a mid-level act there,” he said.

The Forest Hill resident said getting CEOs to perform stand-up may seem like a stretch, but most are actually naturals.

Rhode scholars “I thought this was a unique and different way to put the fundraising abilities of CEOs to work in a way that’s fun,” he said. “Most people sitting in that executive position have a lot of experience with public speaking and there’s a lot of confidence that goes along with that.”

The four CEOs who will take the stage for Humour Me – Jordy Chilcott of Dynamic Funds, Michael Cooper of Dundee REIT, Harris Fricker of GMP Capital and Dr. David Goldbloom of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) – were given training from

professional stand-up comedians.

“We have two Rhodes scholars performing stand-up comedy on the same night in the same venue and that’s something I can say hasn’t happened a lot, if ever,” Goodman said.

The event founder said some CEOs he has approached have been hesitant, but noted many are eager to try their material on the stage.

“One guy said ‘This is the most interesting thing anyone’s ever asked me in a meeting,’” he said. “It’s an opportunity to use the creative side of their brains for something other than business.”

The guest comedians will be judged on their routines, with one selected as the evening’s top performer based on the quality of their routine and the amount of money raised to help youth causes.

Goodman added getting Carvey to headline was a coup. He had hoped to secure the Saturday Night Live veteran’s services last year, but a

scheduling conflict arose, which led to another SNL star, Dennis Miller, headlining.

“Dana Carvey’s a guaranteed great show,” Goodman said. “He’s one of the great political impersonators, so it’s perfect that we have him on the eve of the American election.”

Last year, the event raised more than $500,000 through ticket sales and pledges, with the organizer hoping to top that this year.

Funds raised will go toward Trails Youth Initiatives, the Child, Youth and Family Program at CAMH, and Covenant House. The event will also give people a chance to see some of the city’s brightest business minds letting loose in an environment different from the usual gala fundraiser.

“It’s not a black tie affair,” Goodman said. “It’s probably the opposite of a black tie affair.”

Humour Me takes place at the Winter Garden Theatre Oct. 17.

Reader talks privatization and meat

Saluting The Mirror’s newspaper carriers

Time and again the taxpayers, yes the people who pay the bills of this great city, are not asked, but told who, what, when, why and where. I am sick and tired of it.

Metrolinx were supposed to take charge of the TTC expansion, but now it is back in the hands of the TTC. Does no one understand our problems?

The whole system needs a major shake-up, and privatization should be front and centre.

T

his is International Newspaper Carrier Week.

Around the world, boys and girls, men and women deliver critical community information in a timely fashion, whether it’s news or advertising flyers.

We certainly appreciate the dedication of our newspaper carriers at The Mirror.

Why would someone become a newspaper carrier?

It’s a wonderful proving ground for a young person to develop life skills. It’s an excellent opportunity for an older carrier to earn money and feel satisfaction from a job well done while serving the community.

Here are six experiences that our view benefit a carrier: • Responsibility: A newspaper Carriers bring carrier accepts the challenge of satisfying their customer news to the every single time they deliver a newspaper to a doorstep. Being a newspaper carrier means one community has a commitment to customer service – and learns quickly the importance of reaching the customer’s doorstep with the newspaper each and every time.

• Handling money: For many carriers, having a newspaper route means the first time having a bank account. This develops yet another key life skill in a youth.

• Small business sense: The better customer service, the more smiles from customers. Miss a delivery and you deal with the complaint. A good carrier generally benefits with more tips from customers, too!

• Confidence and sense of achievement: Being a carrier means tangible achievement every time a route is delivered. Every thank you from a customer teaches a carrier good work is rewarded. Knowing you deliver your route on time every time gives a carrier confidence and satisfaction of knowing a job inside out and doing it well.

• Discipline: Residents wait for their newspaper.

Calls for missed deliveries come in minutes after the time a customer usually gets their newspaper. The discipline developed through delivering a newspaper carries over into discipline in other life tasks.

• Understanding community: Your community newspaper is your window to community life. A carrier brings that life to your door. As a carrier, you get to know the people on the route and that brings a neighbourhood community a little closer together.

So being a newspaper carrier is much more than simply taking a wagon through streets to put pieces of paper on the doorstep. It’s ensuring a product that adds value to life in the community gets to the people of the community. We salute our newspaper carriers and wish them much sunshine as they deliver their newspapers and flyers this week.

Many people, especially politicians, are chastising this and that group for Canada’s tainted beef instead waiting for the findings.

Why are there no fast food restaurant closures? They are consumers of ground beef.

Yes, all of the news agencies are at fault for not investigating. Did we dispose of any meat products? Certainly not. As long as the product is cooked properly there is no problem, just ask the experts.

Council embarrassed itself with bad behaviour It’s not quite fair to say that Toronto council utterly disgraced itself last week as it dealt with the devastating report by Toronto Ombudsman Fiona Crean on the city’s flawed and hamstrung public appointments process. At the same time, if this council were your parents, you would have done everything possible to avoid bringing your fiance home for Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Faced with a report that sharply critiqued both the mayor’s office and some councillors who sit on the civic appointments committee, a small but significant rump of the ruling party smeared muck over the entire institution.

Crean’s report said the mayor’s office had interfered in the 2011 civic appointments process to the point city staff were

THE CITY

david nickle

unable to do a fair job. It found the mayor’s staff had attempted to force staff to boycott a newspaper not in the mayor’s favour and to remove any mention of diversity from city advertisements. The report said that in one case, a potential appointee to a board had a conflict of interest and when staff attempted to deal with it, an unnamed councillor, since identified as Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, threatened staff members in a closeddoor meeting.

The response from Mammoliti and some others was classic.

Mammoliti began the debate by questioning Crean’s political neutrality. When this provoked an overly angry response from Councillor Gord Perks, which Perks later apologized for, Mammoliti huffed about the sorts of violent acts he might perform on his out-of-line colleague.

Mammoliti explained it wasn’t so much Crean’s neutrality as that of the rest of city staff that was the problem, then came back and accused the ombudsman of being deliberately provocative.

Councillor Frances Nunziata, the speaker of council whose role is to maintain civility, was chair of the committee at the time of the threatening behaviour the report cited. She nearly brought Councillor Janet Davis to tears after she implied an

unsubstantiated complaint she’d made about Davis’ conduct to the city’s integrity commissioner, in fact indicated Davis had tried to influence the process too.

Budget chief Mike Del Grande had the good sense to throw up his hands, leave the table.

It was finally left to Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday to try and bring back civility and point out the actual recommendations in the report – to create a more accountable way for staff to deal with the process of putting private citizens on public boards – were the one thing everyone could agree on.

And in the end, it kind of worked.

The one thing we can be thankful for, looking back, is that there’s no hard liquor available in Toronto council chambers.

DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com The bike lanes on Jarvis Street will come out as scheduled next month after Toronto council defeated motions by several councillors to stop or delay the removal of the lanes.

Council voted 24-19 in opposition to motions, including one by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam to simply keep the lanes, which she said were preferred by the community and warranted: staff said the lanes had only increased travel times on average by two minutes.

Wong-Tam said the decision won’t sit well with her constituents.

“There will be some outrage by the local community, which I represent, who had been advocating for no reinstatement of the fifth lane (on Jarvis Street),” she said.

“I don’t believe it’s a very good use of money. We’re spending about $300,000 to remove, $86,000 to (originally) install the lanes. What we’ve done is decommissioned a bike

lane and we’re implementing something the residents don’t want.”

The move was a last-minute pushback by councillors and leaders of council’s left to try and reverse the decision made in 2011 to pull the lanes out.

Those bike lanes, from Bloor to Queen Streets, had been installed by the previous council under mayor David Miller. By the time the election rolled around in 2010, they had become symbolic of the so-called “war on the car,” and some mayoralty candidates had promised to have them removed.

In early 2011, council did just that — tying their removal to the completion of fully separated bike lanes on Sherbourne Street.

Those lanes won’t be fully completed by November, but staff told council they had done their best and would proceed with the lanes.

Earlier in the day, councillors on the left were maneuvering a vote to reverse the decision — procedurally possible because council was considering a report on

Sherbourne Street. All that was required under the circumstances was a simple majority, where normally council would need two-thirds to re-open the decision. But Mayor Rob Ford’s team of councillors, led by Public Works and Infrastructure Committee Chair Denzil Minnan-Wong, managed to pull the vote back

their way in the end.

“I certainly had to talk to a number of councillors and work the vote,” he said.

“The mayor’s office did provide some assistance as he does. I think it’s fair to say that a lot of people worked hard.

I definitely did work with a number of councillors.”

calls from cycling advocates, who maintained the effect of removing the lanes was to make cycling more dangerous for those who need to use Jarvis Street.

Chris Drew, a member of the cycling union CycleToronto and a Jarvis Street resident, said he would likely still make use of the street even as it’s returned to its five-lane status.

“I have no choice — I bike south on Jarvis to get to Wellesley, and I need to get to work. Like drivers, I need to use the most direct route possible and that’s Jarvis,” he said. “I think our neighbourhood has been awoken by this — look at the gravy cost.

More than $250,000. That’s very disappointing.”

Minnan-Wong dismissed those objections.

“There are some folks that they can be dogs with bones not wanting to give up that bone and they might want to continue,” he said.

“We’re moving forward with what we think is right and council’s made that decision.”

Consultations approved for plastic bag ban DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com To r o n t o C o u n c i l h a s approved a plan to consult with retailers, the plastics industry and the general public before final approval of a bylaw banning singleuse plastic bags from Toronto retailers.

But the chair of the city’s public works and infrastructure committee Denzil Minnan-Wong said the consultation won’t be much more

than “a stage production.”

Minnan-Wong made the comments two days after he and fellow councillor Peter Milczyn failed in their attempt to convince council to re-open the decision they’d made in July, to ban all plastic bags.

Council had done so by supporting an amendment by Willowdale Councillor David Shiner, on the same matter that Mayor Rob Ford had proposed to end the five cent fee the city requires retailers to

charge for each plastic bag.

Ford had opposed that fee since it was put in place by former Mayor David Miller’s council.

He also opposed the surprise ban, and on Oct. 2, tried and failed to muster the two-thirds vote of council he needed to rescind the ban.

Now, council has only to vote on the specifics of the bylaw, which staff have yet to draft.

Under council’s procedures, it’s impossible to

amend that bylaw significantly.

But council could, in theory, refuse to support it.

Shiner, meanwhile, insisted that the consultation is necessary to protect the city against a legal challenge – and he believed it would be possible to make small changes to the bylaw based on feedback from stakeholders.

Consultations will happen between now and Nov. 27, when council will consider the new bylaw.

Carrier Appreciation Week

Newspaper carrier recognized for dedication CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com For the last 22 years, Malti Gupta has braved wind, snow, sleet and rain to deliver newspapers for Toronto Community News (TCN) every week to as many as 1,000 of her neighbours – and no matter the weather, she always does so with an infectious smile on her face.

“If we had 500 of her, we would be 500 times better. She’s just one of those really great carriers that we wish we had more of,” said Donna Umpleby, a circulation manager with TCN, which publishes nine community newspapers across Toronto.

“She’s just a great lady with a great spirit and great personality. Malti’s always positive. She’s a perfect example of what a carrier should be.”

As TCN’s longest standing carrier, Gupta is being recognized for her dedication during this week’s International Newspaper Carrier Week. The annual appreciation week honours the hundreds of thousands of men and women like Gupta who make such an important contribution to the industry.

“Our carriers really are the lifeblood of what we do here at Toronto Community News,” said TCN’s Director of Circulation Mike Banville, noting that TCN’s work-

force of more than 3,000 carriers aged 10 to 90 deliver more than a million papers weekly to the communities of Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Bloor West Village, Parkdale-Liberty Village, York, East York, Beach-Riverdale and City Centre. “They are so, so important to what we do.”

For Gupta, who began carrying for The Scarborough Mirror on Feb. 6, 1990, the job has been one that was born of convenience and has grown into a passion over the years.

“When I started, I wasn’t getting the paper. All of my neighbours were, but I wasn’t,” she explained with a laugh.

When she called TCN’s offices to explain her conundrum, one of the Mirror’s then-managers inquired as to whether or not Gupta would like to take on the problem route herself – and thus guarantee herself delivery every week. Gupta, who was running a daycare out of her Scarborough home at the time, readily agreed.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Gupta, who came to Canada from India in 1970, began by delivering The Mirror 22 years ago to just the houses on her street, but as time went on and she garnered a reputation for reliability, her route steadily grew. At her peak, she was delivering

Malti Gupta is the longest serving paper carrier for Toronto Community News, making sure for the past 22 years that more than 600 homes in Scarborough receive their community newspaper.

more than 1,000 newspapers two times a week.

“I love walking and I found I’ve met some really, really nice people over the years. Meeting people in my community has been the best part of the job for me. Plus, it’s the best exercise – I’ve maintained my weight,” she said, laughing.

Now a grandmother of seven, Gupta has trimmed her four-hour route down to 615 houses.

But still, even after 22 years, Gupta loves her job and doesn’t plan to

retire her route until she moves from Scarborough – and so far, she and her husband of 47 years have no plans to relocate.

“I love what I do,” she said simply.

“I love walking and I love meeting people, and that’s what this job is all about.”

Also being recognized by TCN this week for their longstanding service are Scarborough Mirror carriers Margaret McFarlane and Selvaratnam Jesuthasan, who have both served as carriers for 19 years.

Legion looking for photos of veterans who have died The Royal Canadian Legion will build a Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance to honour all veterans who have died.

The appearance of the Virtual Wall will coincide with the National Remembrance Day Ceremony, organized by the legion on behalf of all Canadians, and be displayed on the large video screens prior to the start of the ceremony Nov. 11 in Ottawa.

As a way to honour relatives and friends who have served Canada, Canadians are invited to forward a photograph of a veteran who has died to Dominion Command along with the person’s name, years of service, element or force to which he belonged or regiment/unit.

Photos can be sent by mail to Dominion Command, 86 Aird Place, Ottawa, ON, K2L 0A1 (no originals please as they cannot be returned) or electronically to RememberingThem@legion.ca or ALeurMemoire@legion.ca Any veteran (including those who belonged to the Merchant Navy and of Ferry Command) whose death was attributable to any cause before or after they served (Second World War, Korea, peace support missions, Afghanistan, accidental death in Canada) will be honoured.

Cook, entertain, and fundraise together Fall isn't just a great time to reconnect with family and friends after the summer, it's the perfect opportunity to support a great cause like the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF), especially in October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

With Cook for the Cure, presented

by KitchenAid, you can combine entertaining with fundraising. Whether it's an intimate dinner or full-fledged family affair, you can turn your fall gathering into a Cook for the Cure party by asking your guests to make a donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in place of traditional hostess gifts.

Register your party online at www. cookforthecure.ca and KitchenAid will donate $50 to help the cause.

“Cook for the Cure parties help me share my love and passion for food with my friends and family while supporting a great cause,” says world-renowned chef Lynn Crawford.

To help you get into the spirit and host your own Cook for the Cure party here's how you can add some fall flair with an autumn inspired menu.

Pumpkins: Nothing says fall like a pumpkin pie straight from the oven, but there is more to pumpkins than just pie. Why not try pumpkin

soup, which makes a delicious appetizer and can be prepared in advance and heated up when needed.

As an added bonus, pumpkins are also great for you, since they contain carotenoids that help reduce the risk of cancer.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon is an ingredient in many delicious fall recipes, but why not make cinnamon the star.

Cinnamon cookies can be a delicious dessert or party favour for your guests, while reminding them of their favourite fall recipes. Whip up a batch with a KitchenAid stand mixer the day before your party, and your guests are sure to

come back for more.

Apples: Host an apple picking party, which is a great way to

Transit summit focuses on post-secondary students Universities and colleges seen as central transit nodes to moving 650,000 students across the GTHA RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com A conference held at York University in late September rightfully recognized the political importance of post-secondary school students when it comes to regional transit planning, said a Toronto city councillor last week.

Adam Vaughan, who helped organize Going to School: A Transit Summit, which took place Friday Sept. 28 at York University, said the event succeeded in bringing attention to the importance of universities and colleges as central transit nodes crucial to the mobility of an estimated 650,000 post-secondary students in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).

“We have a fresh focus now,” said Vaughan on Monday of the inaugural summit, which was held inside the Underground restaurant in the York Student Centre and co-organized by the university’s CITY Institute. “We’ve

never looked at who we were serving, that’s been missing from the debate. Focusing on students gives us a political base.”

At the summit, York University student Michael Collens said students want to take transit to get to school, even though they are forced to rely on cars due to minimal service.

“We haven’t addressed how people are going to get places via transit because of a lack of connectivity,” said Collens, who took part in a panel discussion along with TTC chair Karen Stintz and GO Transit president Gary McNeil.

“We have connections in place but don’t synchronize them between transit authorities,” he said. “And we have to do it more with the population increases in the region.”

During his keynote speech Vaughan, who represents Trinity-Spadina on Toronto City Council, used presentation slides to illustrate how the establishment of universities

New Toronto city planner Jennifer Keesmaat, right, joins the panel of transit experts during the inaugural ‘Going to School: A Transit Summit’ at York University recently.

in the GTHA has historically fuelled urban growth, beginning pre-Second World War and continuing through the post-war boom years before stagnating for decades until the turn of the century.

But provincial and federal interest in universities of late and worsening regional traffic congestion mean the time to green-light transit expansion is now, said Vaughan to the planners, academics and commentators in attendance.

“The development of transit goes together with a boom in university building like a hand in glove,” said Vaughan.

Urban planner Sean Hertel told the estimated 150 participants continued regional development is dependent on better transit. Suburbs in particular have formed their own regional identity and are no longer defined by their proximity to larger city centres, he said.

“We live regional lives

now,” said Hertel who spoke on a panel moderated by new Toronto chief city planner Jennifer Keesmaat.

“We’re engaged in city building whether we realize it or not.”

At the Keele campus, where a subway station for the upcoming Spadina extension is currently under construction, 1,900 buses from five different transit agencies visit York daily, said Christopher Wong, the university’s director of transportation planning.

He called for more transit, particularly connections linking east and west.

“East and west connections are vital and will set the stage for the next 25 years of growth for the university,” said Wong.

City councillor Shelley Carroll, who represents Don Valley East, told the audience she wanted to see fellow transit campaigners alongside her at developer meetings and Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearings “fighting

density”.

“Transit supporters need to be in the conversation because higher density supports greater transit,” said Carroll on Monday.

“If you’re an activist, flip through every newspaper and know when people are discussing growth and development issues.”

Too often, said Carroll, local councillors are left to advocate alone in favour of unpopular high density projects without support from either the transit intelligentsia or politicians too nervous to inflame tensions of residents who don’t want a highrise development in their neighbourhood.

“The safest thing to do politically is push off a transit project and not do anything at all,” she said.

Carroll said she was disappointed to see only likeminded individuals taking part in the conference.

“The people who could learn from this stuff weren’t in the room,” she said.

Three more sexual assaults this past weekend JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Toronto police are on the lookout for at least one suspect in three sexual assaults that took place in the Christie Pits and Bickford Park areas over the Thanksgiving weekend.

While police cannot say at this point whether the assaults are linked to a series of attacks that took place in the area over the summer, suspect descriptions and the modus operandi used are similar.

A c c o rd i n g t o p o l i c e

repor ts, a woman was assaulted in the College Street and Montrose Avenue area at 10:55 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, while another reported being sexually assaulted in the same area five minutes later.

A third sexual assault was reported in the Bloor and Grace streets area at roughly 11:45 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7.

In all three cases, the victims were approached from behind and sexually assaulted, the same tactic used in the series of sexual assaults that took place this summer.

“Officers weren’t in a position to say these three assaults are linked to the previous 10 we had over the summer,” said Toronto police Const. Wendy Drummond.

“They need to go through more of the cases and go through a bit more evidence.”

While the victims’ descriptions of the suspect or suspects varied, they also basically match the descriptions given by the victims in the summer assaults.

Police are looking for a black male between 23 and 45 years of age, 5’5” to 5’10”

This Halloween, hand out something more than a treat.

tall with a stocky build. In the earlier Saturday attack, the suspect was wearing a cap with a brim, a light T-shirt and dark jeans, while in the second Saturday attack, the suspect was wearing a grey rounded cap with a brim, a light two-tone windbreaker and baggy, light-coloured pants.

In the Sunday attack, the suspect was described as wearing a red T-shirt and long khaki shorts or pants.

Drummond said police are ramping up their efforts in the area with increased patrols and officers canvass-

ing the community.

“Investigators are hoping to get some type of composite sketch,” Drummond said.

Drummond urged anyone who has been sexually assaulted to call 911 as quickly as possible.

“The sooner officers can get there, the sooner they can start looking for a suspect and canvassing the area,” she said.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Toronto Police Sex Crimes Unit at 416-808-7474 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.

Alex Bugdahn carries the ball for the York Lions as they face the University of Toronto Varsity Blues during last year’s Red Blue Bowl. This year’s game takes place Saturday at 1 p.m. at Varsity Stadium.

Annual Red and Blue Bowl game on tap Saturday at Varsity Stadium Toronto’s two university football teams – the University of Toronto Varsity Blues and the York Lions – meet up in the 43rd annual Red and Blue Bowl Game Saturday at 1 p.m.

The U of T is hosting this year at the Varsity Stadium.

Both teams are coming off weekend losses, the U of T (which dropped to 2-4) 34-6 to Ottawa (1-5); and York (1-5) 54-14 to McMaster (6-0).

Since their first meeting in 1970, the Varsity Blues hold

the upper hand with a 26-16 head-to-head record over the York Lions.

The U of T has won the past four showdowns, including a close 10-8 victory last year, while previous to that, York squeaked out a 21-20 win in 2007 to cap a 13-game winning streak in the series.

Ryerson University does not field a football team.

The first 1,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a foam finger and the first 2,500 fans will receive free

sunglasses at the gate.

The Varsity Blues will celebrate their senior players in a special pre-game ceremony and the Toronto Argonauts, who host of the 100th Grey Cup this season, will also be in attendance to celebrate the Blues football program and Varsity Stadium at a special halftime presentation.
