WoodGreen seeks volunteers for its popular Meals on Wheels program JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com WoodGreen ( WG) Community Services has put out an urgent call for volunteers to help deliver meals to residents through its Meals on Wheels program. The program, established in 1967, serves upwards of 55,000 meals to more than 600 clients in an area bounded by the Don River to the west, Victoria Park Avenue to the east, Lake Ontario to the south and just north of Danforth Avenue. Because of the tough winter, WoodGreen has seen an influx of new client referrals and as a result is in desperate need of at least 10 more people to join its team of 65 volunteer drivers and food runners. “Our typical route is 12 to 14 stops but recently because of the volume of clients, our volunteers have been taking on up to 18 stops,” said Colleen Peacock, WG’s manager of food and security check programs. It’s imperative the organization

increase its volunteer roster as drivers/runners only have a two-hour window to deliver meals to clients due to Toronto Public Health regulations, she said. Twelve-year volunteer Ross Wight
said it’s a great cause. “You’re giving back to the community you’ve lived and worked in all your life.” WG recently invited The Mirror to take part in a ride-along begin-
ning at its office at 815 Danforth Ave. Energetic volunteers began to gather shortly before 11 a.m. Coolers filled with hot meals, prepared at Bridgepoint Active Healthcare hospital, arrived a short time later and the two-member volunteer teams were on their way. Peacock, who has been delivering meals herself when there aren’t enough volunteers, said the program allows residents such as Phyllis Cleghorn, 87, to live independently. Cleghorn started making use of the meal delivery program when she had surgery and wasn’t able to prepare food for herself. Aside from a meal, Cleghorn said she also enjoys her daily visit from the Meals on Wheels volunteers. “I would miss them. It’s somebody to check in on you,” said Cleghorn. Meals cost $5.75, and subsidies are available.
i
Call Joanne Fong at 416-645-6000, ext. 1109 to volunteer. People need to be able to help at least once a week.
WoodGreen president Brian Smith retiring After 36 years, Brian Smith, WoodGreen Community Services’ longtime president and CEO, is retiring. Smith said like all things in life, everything must eventually come to an end. “I’ve really enjoyed what I do at WoodGreen,” he said late Tuesday afternoon. “It’s a passion for me to work in the community.” He will be wrapping up his duties at the east end social service agency on Dec. 31. The news was officially announced June 10. The note highlighted Smith’s many contributions to WoodGreen as well as those who have benefitted from his commitment. “Brian has been active in creating a better Toronto through his work at the helm of WoodGreen over the past 36 years,” said Jasmine Tehara, chair of WoodGreen Community Services, in a release.

ffordable housing in Toronto Centre. Improving opportunities for youth in Etobicoke North. Hospital mergers in ScarboroughGuildwood. Helping immigrants transition smoothly in Toronto. Accessibility in Parkdale-High Park. Should the city walk away from the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB)? These were just a few of the issues we put to provincial candidates leading up to tonight’s provincial election. So many more issues were raised throughout the campaign with those hoping to fill seats in the Ontario legislature – during debates, at your front door, or on the streets. Regardless of how you our view voted – or how you’re intending to vote – remaining Continue to politically engaged after the push for issues results are tallied is far more important. of importance We, the electorate, more often than not engage only between during an election campaign elections – when it’s exciting to do so. Rarely do we continue that engagement between elections. This reality is unfortunate. Change is made every day, when residents across the city (and the province) continue to push what is important to them. Granted, not everything makes it to the top of a growing list of issues, but not demanding better of our politicians certainly doesn’t change a thing. Health care, education, jobs, the economy – these are big ticket items that impact the entire province, but it’s the local issues like decisions at the OMB that impact a community and really makes a difference in the everyday lives of Torontonians. After the dust settles, and another provincial government is elected, it is time for residents to continue to push on those important issues. Send letters to your newly elected or re-minted MPP, attend town halls, join a residents’ association, bring your neighbours together to fight for something important. Do something. That way, when it’s time to head to the polls once again, you know that you’ve at least tried to make a difference.

Manage local traffic congestion better
I
’m shocked to see just how busy the streets of East York have become and how aggressive drivers are when travelling on them. This is a sharp contrast to what it was just a decade ago and as a result driving has become a daily battle on the roads. Nothing is really new about this fact as when I first began to write in this column the flow of traffic had become heavy in East York, Thorncliffe and Leaside back in the late 1990s. What is concerning me today, though, is the very real decline in roadway courtesy and obedience to the rules of the road that this congestion is beginning to spawn. One of the things that had always struck me about drivers in the east end of the city was how you could expect some civility from them as someone would let you into traffic if you were
stuck in a bad spot, or co-
joe cooper watchdog
operate with you in some way to keep the flow of traffic moving. This is increasingly no longer the case, as I find other drivers are now competing against me for a space on the road. shocked Several times, I have been shocked to find that I am being road raced, and sometimes even being cut off, as I try to maneuver to make a turn or change a lane. A more disturbing trend is how some drivers are now routinely using dangerous practices simply to move ahead of the flow of traffic. One terrible example of
this is using the left turn lane to jump ahead of traffic. Rather than turning left, they accelerate straight ahead, trying to beat the person to their right. Again, the issue of traffic flow on our streets is not a new thing, but what bothers me is that so little effort is being taken to improve the situation. speed zones The only real change that we have seen in the past few years is the creation of the special speed zones on streets such as Coxwell Avenue, and the implementation of speed bumps through out the former borough. What is worse is that many people continue to believe that if the bicycle lanes were removed from Cosburn Avenue, traffic flow would improve along that road and remain out of the adjacent streets. Beyond these measures,
what traffic policies do we have in place for the next decade? pressures No matter what the final plan will be, it is obvious that increasing traffic pressures will be felt as more people from the old cities of North York, Scarborough and Toronto travel through our neighbourhoods. This will be particularly true when the in-fill housing is finished construction in the old industrial sections of the city. Are we really prepared for these changes, or will we simply wait until it is a crisis to act? It would appear our best choice would be to make some clear decisions now to help protect the quality of life our community enjoys.

We can’t predict the weather but there are many things to do to prepare your home for it Despite a year of extreme weather, Canadians do not feel any more prepared to deal with its potential impacts, according to the seventh annual RBC Canadian Water Attitudes Study. In fact, only half (52 per cent) feel prepared to cope with the adverse effects of severe thunderstorms. About 38 per cent feel prepared for flooding and a mere 27 per cent feel prepared for hurricanes. “With extreme weather events on the rise, it’s likely that most Canadians will experience moderate to severe weather events in their area sometime this year,” says Paula Bandi, Senior Product Manager, Home, RBC Insurance. “Learning what actions to take can help Canadians protect themselves, their family and their home in the event of an emergency.” RBC Insurance® offers these important tips to help Canadian homeowners prepare for extreme weather events: 1. Inspect the roof annually, checking for missing, curled or damaged shingles. If any, speak with a professional roofing contractor. 2. Maintain eavestroughs and keep them clear of debris. 3. Seal any cracks in foundation walls and floors.

4. Install a back-flow valve or a backup generator for basement sewage drains or sump pumps. 5. Install downspout extensions, rain barrels and splash pads to ensure water is flowing away from your home. 6. Keep outdoor storm sewer grates clear of debris. 7. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed to avoid branches or trees falling onto your home or your neighbour’s home. 8. Have large trees that are growing directly over pipes checked every three years to ensure there are no cracks where roots can enter and grow. 9. Install impact-resistant windows and doors and, at least once a year, check that they’re secure and re-caulk as needed. 10. Put together an emergency kit of first aid items and supplies, and identify the safest area of your home for shelter. For more information, please visit www.rbcinsurance.com/preventiontips.

opinion
Long municipal campaign good for voters Nearly six months into Toronto’s marathon mayoral race, leading candidate Olivia Chow has presented a novel idea: cut six months off the race, and let things get rolling on Canada Day. It’s nothing that we haven’t heard before. Toronto elects a mayor like nobody else, with a campaign period starting Jan. 2 and continuing until late October. If there’s high interest in the position that year voters can be subjected to news clips, debates, op-ed pieces and now clever YouTube videos with a foot in all four seasons. It’s expensive and daunting and sometimes a little boring. Well, maybe not that last. But Chow suggests it is all a bit much, that there is nothing that can be said in 10 months that can’t be said in four. Chow does have a point. But it’s hard to say that a tiresome and lengthy debate about the future of our city is harmful. The fact is that while the campaign period runs a year, in times of complacency – the elections before the second terms of former mayors Mel
david nickle the city Lastman and David Miller come to mind – the campaigns don’t run that long at all. There was certainly some hand-wringing in 2006, when Miller gamely defended his mayoralty against city councillor Jane Pitfield and lawyer Stephen LeDrew, but that race didn’t start until the summer. And in 2000, Lastman barely bothered to run a campaign, as only the late Tooker Gomberg ran against him. But in years where the choice is less clear, our long campaign period offers advantages to voters that might be easy to overlook. First, it allows us to meet the candidates, and the candidates to meet us. A good mayoral candidate will start making the rounds of community groups early and often, both for the purpose of fundraising and for the purpose of building a plat-
form. When not abused, this is exceedingly healthy – it keeps municipal government real, in a way that other more distant governments often aren’t. It also allows candidates who may not have the highest profiles a chance to build those, outside the extraordinary advantages of celebrity and wealth only a few can bring to the table. Chow, for instance, entered the race with a well-established profile. John Tory entered the race a popular talk radio host with a long history in Toronto and Ontario politics. Rob Ford’s an incumbent from a wealthy family. So it’s good to be a Chow or a Tory or even a Ford in a four-month campaign: not so much a Karen Stintz or a David Soknacki, who are stillstruggling to build their profiles. And unless we want to limit our mayoral choices to the rich and famous, it’s not so good to be us either. This is one issue that might be best to let lie.

nstead of a glass of wine with your meal, grab a pint of beer! And where can you find such a pairing? With the rise in popularity of craft beer, it’s not hard to find places across the city that serve up tasty food with a thirst-quenching pint – and some even cook with beer, like Mill St. Brewpub in the Distillery District, and the granddaddy of Toronto brewpubs, Granite Brewery. Jason A. Robins, head chef at Mill St., offers his insight on why he thinks beer and food have joined in a partnership. “With the current menu structure I think about 75 to 80 per cent of our items have beer in them,” Robins said. “It’s used in the cooking process. With our new menu changeover, it will bolster up to 90 per cent.” Alongside cooking with the brew, many pubs also offer a paired pint with the meal. Robins said Canada lacks a true food culture. Our diverse demographics have generated a varied cuisine; Canadian food can be anything from sushi to schnitzel. However, “there is one thing we hold above or at the same level as hockey as Canadians, and that’s beer,” Robins said. “So you take beer and take the one thing we’re lacking right now, food culture. You take the two of them and smash them together and you hope that you can build something.” “That’s the endeavor

Pairing beers and food is no different than pairing wine and food...we’;ve been doing it for eons. – Jason A. Robins
we’re trying to establish here at the Beer Hall, this idea of building a beer and food culture. We call it ‘tap to table,’” he added. Pairing beer and food is not as common as wine and food. Several wines are offered at high-end restaurants with menu items and they’re served in specific glassware. Robins says the same care and precision can be applied for beer. “Pairing beers and food is no different than pairing wine with food,” he said. “We’ve been doing it for eons.” Ron Keefe, owner of Granite Brewery and Restaurant at Eglinton Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road, said people’s palettes are different; what works for one doesn’t necessarily work for others. “We definitely make recommendations if people are looking to pair their meal with a nice beer, like the Curried Shrimp, which has the IPA in the curry sauce, so it’ll definitely
work with our IPA,” said Keefe. “That said, we’re not pushy. People come in here because they want a nice friendly feel. They have their favourite beers and their favourite meals – however they want to enjoy the two is up to them.” Robins said it even comes down to how the beer is served: elements like glassware, the thickness of the head, the aroma of the beer, all work together to enhance the meal. Beer can also be used to create new ingredients. In the Mill St. kitchen, Robins experiments with pickles and cheese. It’s not just about the beer. Food is also part of the experience. “The great thing about the Beer Hall is you don’t have to like beer to eat here,” said Robins. Both Mill St. and Granite will be taking part in the Session Toronto Craft Beer Festival at Yonge-Dundas Square, June 13 and 14. The event is sponsored by Metroland Media Toronto, which publishes this paper. For more information on Session Toronto, pleasse visit www.sessiontoronto. com

at new streetcars this week wSneak-peek The TTC treated transit aficionados to a sneak-peek of its new streetcars this week. Yesterday’s ride was the first opportunity for members of the public to ride one of the sleek new vehicles that will officially launch service Aug. 31. The TTC has ordered 200 streetcars from manufacturer Bombardier at a cost of $1.6 billion to eventually replace its existing fleet by 2019 – some of which began service more than 40 years ago. streetcar stops to be removed wSome
The TTC is also planning to remove some streetcar stops on various routes starting next year. The TTC said the stops are too close together to allow for efficient service by the newer and substantially larger streetcar vehicles. The new streetcars, which will hold approximately double the passenger capacity of the existing fleet, will run less frequently on routes.

Greek fans spilled out onto Danforth Avenue to show their soccer pride in 2012 after Greece tied Poland 1-1 in the opening round of Euro tournament. Pubs and restaurants along the Danforth, but particularly in GreekTown between Chester and Jones, are preparing for an influx of Greek soccer fans this weekend as the team begins play in the World Cup in Brazil with a match against Columbia at noon this Saturday.
Influx of fans set to hit the Danforth >>>from page 1 for the games. “We’re one of the busiest and biggest pubs in the Danforth,” said Georgoulis. “We’re going to open extra early. We have 30 TVs going with the sound on and the music on.” Georgoulis said that the restaurant will be taking reservations an hour before each game for customers who want to ensure a spot inside. Rally Sports Bar and Smokehouse on 1660 O’Connor Dr. is outside of GreekTown, but it is still a close neighbour. Rally Sports is handing out samples of a different European imported beer for every game.

TEGH’s president receives award from Canadian College of Health JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com To r o n t o E a s t G e n e r a l Hospital’s (TEGH) president and CEO, Rob Devitt, has been recognized for his exemplary commitment to mentoring and inspiring future healthcare leaders. Devitt received the Mentorship Award from the Canadian College of Health at the organization’s national
awards gala in Banff, Alberta, on Sunday, June 1. “I am deeply honoured to receive this prestigious award,” he said in an email to The Mirror. In Devitt’s 10-year tenure at the east-end hospital, he’s implemented a number a programs and initiatives notably the Administrative Resident program, which is described as a structured yet dynamic program that provides learn-
ing opportunities for master’s students in health and business administration. He’s also personally mentored more than 40 national and international master’s degree students, many of whom have gone on to become CEOs and other highprofile leaders in the healthcare field. “Mentoring students is a passion for me. I really enjoy helping others succeed and
accomplish their goals and continue to contribute at Toronto East General and other parts of the health system,” wrote Devitt, who said he also enjoys mentoring the staff and physicians at TEGH by encouraging professional development as well as supporting opportunities for them to take on projects outside their realm of expertise to broaden their exposure and learning.
A champion of lifelong learning, Devitt has also spearheaded a number of professional development programs at the hospital for all staff members. He’s also supportive of TEGH employees taking on mentorship roles with students and interns. As a result, TEGH has attained some of the highest staff and physician trust and overall engagement scores in
the province when compared to a standardized workplace survey. “Most importantly, I’ve found that mentoring is a great way to keep myself fresh to new ideas and engaged with the next generation of health-care leaders,” said Devitt.

Drop off for recycling/disposal:
Ingredients: • 5 pounds baby back ribs Sauce: • 1 cup ketchup • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce • 4 tablespoons soy sauce • 2 tablespoons grainy mustard • 3 tablespoons honey • 2 tablespoons orange juice • 2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 4 cloves garlic, minced • 1 tablespoon ginger • Grated zest of an orange • Salt and pepper Directions: Preheat the grill to medium and turn down to low. Prepare ribs for grilling by removing the membrane from the underside
of the ribs. Prepare several foil envelopes and place 2 strips of ribs into each envelope, with 1/4 cup of water and seal tightly. Cook for 2 to 21/2 hours on low (300*F) with the lid closed. Check the thermometer on the front of the grill lid frequently and adjust the cooking temperature accordingly. This may require turning one or two burners off and cooking indirectly. To prepare the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and set aside until the ribs are ready to
remove from the foil. Gently heat the sauce on the side burner for 10 to 15 minutes before using. Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and place on grids. Baste generously with sauce, and grill for 10 minutes per side, leaving the lid open, turning several times, and basting with sauce after each turn. Heat remaining sauce to a boil and then allow it to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve on the side as a dipping sauce.

Toronto soccer fans can catch World Cup action across city
T
he World Cup begins today in Brazil, and fans across Toronto are preparing to wave their flags as they cheer on their favourite teams. Other than being in Brazil for this year’s world championship of soccer, which runs from June 12 to July 13, Toronto is probably the best place in the world for fans to catch the action. And our newspapers and our special World Cup Toronto website at www. insidetoronto.com/worldcupTO are the best places for coverage on the tournament in our city. Here’s how it works: • Enter www.insidetoronto.com/worldcupTO and you will see the flags of all 32 teams taking part. Click on the flag of your favourite country. • Now on your country’s site, you can see stories on the best places in the Greater Toronto Area to catch events linked to the team, stories on the teams, news stories and ultimately viewers’ guides about the World Cup in general. • There are recipes from all 32 countries for those interested in hosting a party, or just like the idea of trying different foods. Other stories will celebrate the many cultures who enjoy the World Cup. • We have a number of bloggers writing about the teams they are following. The World Cup starts June 12 with a game between host Brazil and Croatia at 4 p.m. (EST) in Sao Paulo. There are 32 teams taking part in this year’s World Cup, broken up into eight groups of four. After playing each other in group play between June 12 and 26, the top two teams in each group will advance to the Round of 16 which begins June 28. Many Toronto neighbourhoods are known as gathering places for fans of cer-
tain countries to watch their teams’ games. In Toronto, these areas include Little Italy, Little Portugal, Koreatown, Corso Italia, and Greektown on the Danforth to name a few. See our story on the eight great places to watch a World Cup game in Toronto at www. insidetoronto.com/sports-story/4550511toronto-s-eight-great-places-to-watchthe-world-cup Greece in action Saturday The weekend of June 14 and 15 will be a big one for Toronto fans, with seven games slated over the Saturday and Sunday – many of them featuring teams with large fan bases in the city. Greece will be in action on noon Saturday against Colombia, which should mean thousands of fans along Danforth Avenue between Jones and Chester. Italy also takes on England at 6 p.m. on Saturday, which will mean an exciting night along College Street and St. Clair Avenue West. Other games this Saturday are Uruguay against Costa Rica at 3 p.m.; and Ivory Coast against Japan at 9 p.m. On Sunday, Switzerland takes on Ecuador at noon, France plays Honduras at 3 p.m. and Argentina meets Bosnia-Herzegovina at 6 p.m. For a complete World Cup schedule, visit us at www.insidetoronto.com/sportsstory/4567157-world-cup-2014-completeschedule/

president of business development. Community building “Until now, there’s been no effective platform for a community to get together to raise money for a local cause. Metroland is all about building our communities. Promoting Fuellocal.com is one more way
of staying connected to the communities we serve.” Over 40,000 people, groups, businesses and non-profits in 20 countries have raised more than $48 million with FundRazr – the platform powering Fuellocal.com A fundraiser registers with Fuellocal.com and receives a web profile to promote their cause.

pany delivering vital business and community information to millions of readers across Ontario each week, with 116 newspapers (including The Mirror), numerous websites, specialty and monthly publications, consumer shows and distribution operations.
