Tara Hatherly thatherly@insidetoronto.com Parents from five East York schools took their frustration to the street this week, holding a rally accusing the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) of threatening students’ safety and learning by neglecting local schools. Parents from Secord, Parkside, George Webster, Crescent Town and D.A. Morrison schools protested at the afternoon rally, appealing for new facilities they say are desperately needed. “We will no longer tolerate TDSB neglect when our urgent appeals for essential, equitable and safe building projects are brought before it,” said Heather Tormey, a parent whose children attend Secord Public School. Portables at two of the schools, George Webster and Secord, are sometimes unusable, due to decay and raccoon infestations. Between them, the East York schools have 36 portables, some separate and some connected in “port-a-pacs.” With the schools already overflowing with children, Secord Public School is set to welcome scores of new students when full-day kindergarten debuts there in 2014. Over-population at George Webster Elementary School was exasperated by the introduction of new full-day kindergarten classes being held at Crescent Town Public >>>PARENTS, page 11
IN THE CITY Wynne’s win pleases Don Valley West residents LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com Pleased their MPP is about to become Ontario’s new premier, Don Valley West residents are urging Kathleen Wynne to make repairing the province’s standoff with teachers her top priority. “Whatever she needs to do to fix it with teachers will fix it with kids. The kids are the ones suffering,” Angela
Barnard, a Leaside mother of two elementary school children, said in a coffee shop at Eglinton Avenue and Laird Drive on Tuesday. “Our kids are losing out on everything (extra-curricular activities). I’m not a political person, I’m not a teacher, I just see how it affects the kids. The premier needs to fix it with the teachers, bottom line. Whatever you have to do, fix it.” Wynne won the Ontario Liberal
party leadership on the third ballot at a convention at the Mattamy Athletic Centre (formerly Maple Leaf Gardens) Saturday night, Jan. 26, which automatically made her the premier-designate. Yet to be sworn in as premier, Wynne has identified reducing gridlock as the “number one condition that we need to get right” for the Greater Toronto Area. Sitting at the table beside Barnard,

East Yorker Don Harron opens up in new book HILARY CATON hcaton@insidetoronto.com
N
estled inside Don Harron’s East York apartment, between his bedroom and the kitchen, is what his wife Claudette Gareau affectionately calls the “Don Harron Room.” When you enter the narrow doorway, you get the impression that it has become more like a shrine than Harron’s workspace. Yes, there’s a desk to the left with a laptop on top of it, and there are stacks of papers that hint that Harron might have a lot of fan mail to answer or important documents to file. But it’s the pieces of history and symbols of admiration that adorn the walls that show the journey of his 77-year career that started in 1935; back when Maple Leaf Gardens was just an arena and no one knew what the CN Tower was because it wasn’t built yet. From corner to corner, pictures, sketches and drawings of Harron as his character Charlie Farquharson cloak the wall, including a few sketches from close friend and fellow Canadian Lynn Johnston, who created the comic-strip For Better or Worse. Other mementos include a oneof-a-kind sketch by the legendary Katherine Hepburn of herself; a promotional poster that shows a young Harron during his days as the host of the CBC radio show Morningside; and a bristol board of all the programs from the plays he’s been a part of. Near the entrance is an old photograph of Harron’s mother; a striking woman with dark hair, porcelain skin and according to Harron a great sense of humor. “I get it from her,” he says. Harron has been making people laugh since he was 10 years-old and never stopped. He appeared on the hit TV show Hee Haw for 17 years, where he got to open with musical great Ray Charles, whom he was “thrilled” to work with. He spent years doing Shakespeare plays and acted on Broadway. He was also on The Red Green Show and wrote the script
for the musical of Anne of Green Gables. He goes into detail about his run in showbiz in his latest book, My Double Life: Sexty Years of Farquharson Around with Don Harn. It’s the first book he’s written as himself, his other 16 books have been as Farquharson with one as Farquharson’s cousin Valerie Rosedale. Harron holds nothing back in this 440-page memoir. He admits that the idea to write one wasn’t his, but a friend of the family and that recalling every detail of a 77-year long career isn’t as hard as it seems. “You can’t remember where you put your pants last night, but you can remember what happened in 1934,” jokes Harron. “Somehow it just comes back as clear.” With this memoir, as much as Farquharson is a part of Harron, he tries to give the readers a better sense of who he is away from his counterpart and what he’s been through. Enlisted in air force “It’s all about me, which I’m not used to in a way. I always disguise myself, I’m a character actor,” says Harron. “I hid behind two people: Charlie Farquharson and Valerie Rosedale.” Through the 156 chapters, Harron recalls his days of being the youngest student at Vaughan Road Collegiate to his short-lived stint at the University of Toronto before enlisting in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1943 during the Second World War. There are his run-ins with a few famous faces, including Oscar winner Christopher Plummer, prior to his role as Captain von Trapp in the Sound of Music, and Katherine Hepburn who found herself in Harron’s dressing room, on purpose, in New York City during his time on Broadway for the play Separate Tables to offer him a part in The Merchant of Venice. But it’s not all good choices and accomplishments and in his book, also printed are details of his personal life, including his list

of affairs and his three failed marriages. The freshest wound being his divorce from Canadian singer/ actress Catherine McKinnon in 2003. A chapter that he admits was the hardest one to write. “No question, because it was so recent,” says Harron. “I knew I had to face it…” He spent an evening with McKinnon and their youngest daughter Kelley not too long ago. “…Things are getting better,” says Harron. “We’re civil.” He currently lives with his fourth wife, fellow comedienne Claudette Gareau, a quick-witted French-Canadian with a sassy, silver pixie-cut. Gareau did Shh! It’s the News with Harron in 1973 where she played a separatist weather girl. They reunited in 2000 at the Royal Bank Seniors Jubilee, where he recognized Gareau backstage. His marriage to McKinnon was reaching its end and Harron
found himself drawn to Gareau. “She’s forgiving and loving and the greatest cook I’ve ever known,” says Harron. “And I adore her. So if she accepts me I’m home free. I don’t know why she does…” “Stupidity,” says Claudette with a giggle. Harron has had a lustrous career that took him around the world performing in six Broadway stage shows and three others in London, England. He’s won an ACTRA Award and a Gemini Award for Lifetime Achievement and became a member of the Order of Canada. In 2011, he officially hung up Farquharson’s frayed cap and put away the hole-ridden grey cardigan after more than 57 years as the outspoken man from Parry Sound. He still has the outfit. It hangs in the closet in the Don Harron Room. Claudette brings it out to show every fraying thread and
patched up hole and asks how he ever put the darn thing on. Harron wants to donate it all to the Theater Museum Canada in Toronto when it’s his turn to “kick the bucket” according to Claudette. Now, 89-years-old and retired from the entertainment industry, Harron had to reflect on his choices when it came to opening up in his new book. When asked if he would do anything differently or be different he mentioned arrogance. “I’m not very often arrogant, but I have been in my time and I’ve been sorry about that,” said Herron, in reference to the choices of acting roles he’s chased after or flat-out demanded that turned out not to be the right fit for him. “Hindsight is always 20/20,” he adds. “I’m lucky, I had a good time...77 years as a professional in this business...that’s enough.”

Ensuring safe co-existence W
hile it may be hard to believe, we share Toronto with a large number of wild animals: raccoons, squirrels, geese, deer, coyotes, possums and even wild turkeys. The reasons for this are many. Increasing development in what were once rural areas are our view forcing animals such as deer Toronto home and coyotes into the watersheds that run from north of to wide variety Toronto down to Lake Ontario. The Humber, Don and Rouge of wild animals valleys are refuges for many animals fleeing the loss of habitat outside the city. Our many rail corridors make for relatively safe pathways. Toronto is also a major source of food for wild animals, much of which is created by people. We all play a role in making the city so desirable, and animals have learned that in Toronto they have little to fear from humans and lots to gain. The city is also home to numerous birds of prey including hawks, falcons and owls. But it’s not just in the parks and ravines where they are making their homes. Downtown office towers and the more builtup areas of Scarborough, Etobicoke and North York have birds nesting on their roofs – or in many cases specially made nesting boxes. Creating new habitats for these birds has helped increase their populations and seen them spread out to locations across Toronto. People are not just helping the wildlife in the city by being sources of food, in the cases of the hawks and falcons, we’re making a direct contribution to their wellbeing. Not all residents, though, love the idea of sharing our parks and ravine trails with such a variety of wildlife. Concerns about foxes and coyotes have been heard from all parts of the city. According to the experts, we can safely live with these predators. We just need to use some common sense and remember they are not the friendly, neighbourhood dog. As the wildlife numbers grow, Toronto can become an example for other large cities on how residents and wildlife can safely co-exist. We do, however, need to take steps to ensure we continue to live safely together. Too high numbers of any animal can lead to problems. Taking steps such as not making food sources easily accessible, taking care to protect small pets and being aware of how to deal with predatory animals, can make Toronto a great place for people and wild animals alike. newsroom

To the editor: A poll suggests 52 per cent of Torontonians approve the idea of a casino. And to suggest that just the poor or needy use casinos is not doing much research. Where do you think the people who go to Niagara or Casino Rama come from? They are people from Toronto. Having a casino downtown makes us more of a worldclass city and a tourist destination. It only makes sense to keep those tax revenues here in Toronto. The politicians in Niagara are up in arms about a Toronto casino. Why? Because they know their cities biggest revenue comes from us, the taxpaying Toronto population. I say put out a vote to the citizens of the city and do what we want. A handful of left-wing activists shouldn’t make that decision for all of us. Sheila Barron
Community identity is crucial for a healthy city
W
hy is the name of a community important and what is lost if it is removed or forgotten? This is much more important a question than many people realize. This is because a community is more than a mechanism that delivers services and regulates behaviour with rules and regulations. Rather a community is a place where people have an identity along with a place to live, and the name of a community places clear boundary lines on where an identity begins and ends. The fact of the matter is that the shape and form that our modern cities have come to take has literally been the product of the last 2,000 years of history. During that time we have come to learn how to live together in large numbers in a state of relative peace and good health - which is

a very significant accomplishment. Our own local history for East York and Leaside is just a fraction of that, being measured over a span of a few hundred years. Yet during that time some very significant accomplishments have taken place with our own boundaries due to the fact that the community had developed a clear identity of itself. Indeed, if you look at the historical record over the past 30 years or so you will find that it was the simple fact that East York and Leaside had such a strong sense of local identity that galled some politicians and members of the media.
It must never be forgotten that the initiative to eliminate East York from the political landscape did not come from within the former borough itself. The fact is that East York and Leaside were able to maintain a high standard of living, low taxes with a good mixture of people from all social and economic backgrounds. The borough’s success in managing itself was one of the reasons why Metro Toronto was one of the most successful municipalities in the world. If amalgamation had not happened, and East York had been left to determine its own future, certain things would of happened that would have been to the benefit of the area. We would have seen a property tax cut due to the civic centre building cost being paid off. Then we would have seen a shift in priorities of the borough’s
expenditures that would have focused upon replacement of water and sewer pipes. What has happened right now with the elimination of community’s autonomy is that our community’s priorities will be blurred in with those of many others. Again this year we are seeing our property taxes are going up and important services are either cut or threatened to be reduced. It’s one thing to talk about gravy at city hall and respecting the taxpayer, but it’s another to make a city work properly. This occurs when communities function properly rather than being treated as a collection of individual homes where anonymous taxpayers live.

Billy Bragg concert slated for Danforth Music Hall The rejuvenated venerable Danforth Music Hall continues to draw an eclectic and impressive list of stars looking to play an intimate 1,000-seat venue. The latest act booked is legendary British rocker and activist Billy Bragg on Friday, May 3, with tickets on sale starting tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 1). The Danforth Avenue stop will be part of a North American tour in support of a new studio album for Bragg, who for the past 25 years has provided the soundtrack to the left-wing movement and has become the conscience of British music through protest songs and political anthems. The ecletic upcoming line-up also includes
such artists as the Indigo Girls Feb. 20, K-OS Arpril 5, Josh Ritter April 16 and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark on July 11 – and plenty more inbetween. Next up, ear plugs recommended, is a deathcore metal band doubleheader with Whitechapel and Emmure on Feb. 6. The Danforth Music Hall first opened in 1919 as a grand “photo-play palace” in the Allen’s theatre chain. Through the years the theatre has been reinvented numerous times, most recently getting back into live concerts in the past couple of years. Full line-up available at http://thedanforth. com/

Special Report

Railway lines, Don Valley provide habitat for wide variety of wildlife RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com
Toronto Wildlife Centre has admitted for care and rehabilitated in its hospital more than 70,000 wild animals representing 270 different species. Some of the animals Toronto Wildlife Centre has treated include: PEREGRINE FALCON Peregrines are a species at risk in Canada. The falcons are known for returning to their favourite nesting sites. They can dive at more than 300 kilometres per hour when attacking. Peregrines inspired conservation efforts after DDT was banned.
M
ore coyotes are using rail corridors to find food and travel between urban spaces, says a local conservationist. Following a mange outbreak from 2003-2004 which saw numbers significantly reduced, the local coyote population is back on the upswing and Ralph Toninger believes easy access to food via the corridors is a major reason why. “The coyotes use the rail lines to move in and out of cities, they’re basically wildlife highways,” said Toninger, who works to restore habitats for the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority. The grassy areas surrounding the tracks make corridors such as the Lakeshore East rail line, on which the Danforth GO station lies, make ideal hunting grounds for coyotes, who will dine on small prey such as meadow voles and rabbits as they pass through, rarely seen by human eyes. More and more, Toninger believes, coyotes use the rail lines to travel further into the city where easy pickings of the manmade variety await. “If you are a coyote are you going to chase down a rabbit when there’s a pile of garbage with a bunch of things to eat?” he said. Unsecured garbage dumpsters will also attract “nuisance” wildlife such as coyotes. Another easy form of prey are small housepets kept in backyards which make for an easy meal to a roaming coyote, said Toninger. Back in 2009, Neville Park residents raised concerns when coyotes were seen prowling through backyards and carrying away pets. And last year, a lone coyote was shot around Cherry Beach when it started to behave aggressively. Sure Arndt from nonprofit eco-advocacy group Evergreen Brick Works which operates a community ecology centre in the Don Valley, said coyotes

In addition to coyotes and foxes, deer can be found in many areas of the city. If one wanders into your backyard, simply leave it alone and it will likely find its way home once night falls.
have been sighted but tend to avoid contact with humans and quickly flee if spotted. She advised residents to get in touch with the city if they spot a coyote behaving “strangely” but insisted their reputations are overblown. “Coyotes have baggage and there might be stories that came along with them which makes them scarier to people,” said Arndt, associate director of ecology. Diverse assortment The Brick Works is home to a diverse assortment of wildlife, from hundreds of bird species such as red tailed hawks as well as typical urban creatures like raccoons, squirrels, skunks and foxes. There are also deer and several species of turtles. Arndt said the Brick Works area, which is in the Don River valley off Bayview Road, is home to an unknown number coyotes who likely have dens in the area’s extensive network of ravines. “We’re hearing a lot more about coyotes, people talk about them more than I’ve heard in the past,” she said. The creatures, whose fur ranges from blonde to brown, are not known to
hibernate and more sightings are reported in the winter season. According to the city, their dens are likely to be located in secluded areas along streambanks and sandy ridges. They will also make use of old fox or groundhog lairs. Wildlife sink Toninger believes the increased frequency of coyote sightings are of creatures who live and scavenge in the city. Toronto’s reputation a “wildlife sink” which attracts wild creatures from more natural habitats is overblown and many of the coyotes spotted in rail corridors and through the valley, are actually making their way north to more wooded areas such as the Oakridges Moraine, he said. “In the case of coyotes, they’re being born in the city and migrating to the wild,” said Toninger. But the ones that do remain are showing altered behaviours due to the intervention of humans and Tonginer, who said he’s seen urban coyotes in the past, urged developers to plan for wildlife when designing new building projects. He said treating such planning as an after-
thought results in more opportunities for enterprising creatures like coyotes to find food in denser areas. One of the chief culprits of this is restaurants which leave food scraps in open dumpsters and result, he said, in a buffet for animals. “Wildlife is not an unknown or unique phenomenon,” Toninger said, “It’s part of our city fabric and we need to acknowledge and deal with it.” Toninger said he is not surprised to hear about reports of more wildlife in the city since environmental protections have strengthened and water quality levels are better than back in the 1950s. Toronto is also extensively treed, making it one of the greenest cities in North America and an attractive place for coyotes, which are thought to have been in the city for the last 25 years. Arndt said the increased presence of creatures like coyotes shouldn’t be seen as good or bad but a sign of their ability to adapt to various environments. “There’s behavior that translates into urban wildlife that wouldn’t be seen in a more naturalized area,” she said. For more on coyotes and what to do in case of a sighting visit www.toronto. ca or call 311.
COYOTE Coyotes are being increasingly reported along waterways and hydro corridors across the city. It can run at speeds up to 40 kilometres per hour. Coyotes do not usually prey on domestic animals or pets. Residents who see a coyote are urged to report it to Toronto Animal Services at 416-338-7297. GREAT HORNED OWL One of Canada’s most common large birds of prey is known for its “horns” or tufts and enormous yellow eyes. The great horned owl are regularly seen throughout woods in the city.
BEAVER The largest rodent in North America, an adult beaver weighs between 16 and 32 kilograms. Slow on land, the beaver is a graceful, strong swimmer that can use its tail as a rudder. Its most common habitat is forested areas. Beavers only build dams when they need to enlarge the underwater habitat open to them in winter. TRUMPETER SWAN Well adapted to the harsh environments in which they live with an unusually dense layer of down. They are found in Canada year-round. In summer, trumpeters feed on leaves and roots of aquatic plants. When freshwater areas freeze, swans congregate on estuaries. RED FOX Red foxes inhabit home ranges of four to eight square kilometres around den sites. From autumn until March, foxes take shelter in thickets and heavy bush. Red foxes eat small mammals, including voles, mice, squirrels and rabbits. They hunt by smell, sight and sound.
COOPER’S HAWK Nests primarily in deciduous woodlands in the hardwood forests of southern Ontario. The hawks return to traditional nesting areas of tall, mature trees in mid-April to early May. Densely foliaged trees hide their nests.

>>>from page 1 School. With Crescent Town already filled over capacity, the school had nowhere to house the new students, forcing it to send students from its highest grade, Grade 5, to George Webster. As Parkside faces a potential closure, parents of students there worry their children will be transferred to D.A. Morrison Middle School, which does not have facilities to serve the younger students. Amid provincial funding announcements for renovations and additions at other schools, the parents are concerned their schools are being neglected. Following up on the rally, and petitions circulated by parents, a group representative planned to appeal to the TDSB last night to have the board prioritize funding for the schools.

>>>from page 1 Liberals under out-going premier Dalton McGuinty, such as proroguing the legislature and problems with the province’s air ambulance service, Kanellakis hopes Wynne will bring in more transparency as premier. At the same time, she is pleased to see Wynne leading the province. Coming out of a drug store at Bayview and Eglinton avenues with her husband, 86-year-old Gloria Way said she is thrilled Wynne won the Liberal leadership. “I’m elated. I’m just so glad. I pulled for her all along,” she said. “She has the experience and I think she is giving a woman’s perspective that is needed.” Although Wynne’s critics say the veteran cabinet minister will have to take responsibility for Liberal scandals, Way disagrees. “I think we’re wiping the slate clean (with Wynne as the new premier),” she said. “It’s time to start again.” Way was disturbed by a phone call she received Monday night asking her how dissatisfied she is with Wynne’s lifestyle. Wynne is Ontario’s first openly gay premier. “I said I couldn’t care less,” she said. “It steamed me up.” While the caller didn’t identify themselves, Way is worried another political party is assessing voters’ attitudes about Wynne’s homosexuality to use in an attack ad. Walking through Flemingdon Park Plaza holding the hand of his four-year-old daughter, Anthony Makula wants Wynne to rebuild the province’s relationship with teachers because they are they ones who guide children towards opportunities of the future.

Pan-Am Games: Initiative reaches out to residents Tara Hatherly thatherly@insidetoronto.com
W
ith the Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games drawing closer, GTA residents are getting a chance to be an official part of the Games. Organizers and participants of TO2015 gathered
in downtown Toronto Tuesday to announce IGNITE, a new program that aims to bring residents together to make positive impacts on their communities, while also getting people excited for the Games. “We’re looking for projects, programs and events that promote things
like community sport, physical activity and recreation, healthy living, or Pan American cultures,” explained Rahul Bhardwaj, IGNITE’s honourary chairman. “IGNITE initiatives should be strongly connected to the Games, and help us ignite the spirit to a celebration of sport and culture.”
ATTENTION CONTRACTORS Do you have a project that you think should be showcased?
HERE’S YOUR CHANCE to appear in the pages of GoodLife Magazine WE WANT TO SEE IT! Send us your fantastic before and after photos to: goodlife@insidetoronto.com
Initiatives can take many forms, including community sports leagues, media projects, cultural festivals, parasport training camps and more. “These games can be whatever you want them to be, these are the People’s Games, that means they belong to you,” Ian Troop, CEO of TO2015, told the crowd, which included community members and students from across Toronto. “I challenge you to use these games as your springboard to create a legacy of better, healthier, more connected and more joyful communities.” A first of its kind for Pan Am, the IGNITE program was modelled closely after the Inspired by London 2012 program that built excitement for the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games by engaging an estimated 10 million people in more than 2,700 London 2012-themed programs and projects. TO2015 organizers
‘I want to hear Oh Canada playing when they slip that medal around my neck again,’ - Canadian boxer Mary Spencer hope to see 500 IGNITE initiatives created throughout the greater Golden Horsehoe area before the Games start July 10, 2015, helping Pan Am leave a living and lasting local legacy. Canadian boxer Mary Spencer, a decorated world and Pan American champion, spoke to the crowd about the power that sport and community programs have to make positive impacts on people’s lives. She will represent Canada at TO2015, where she’s looking forward to defending her gold medal win from the 2011 games. “I want to hear Oh
Canada playing when they slip that medal around my neck again,” she said, while encouraging people to embrace IGNITE and the Games. “With the help of IGNITE, and all of you, this city is going to be buzzing, and it won’t be like anything you ever experienced before.” More than 10,000 athletes from around the world will converge on the GTA for TO2015, competing in 51 different sports over two weeks. “We are only 127 weeks to that flame being lit in July of 2015,” said Troop. “Each of you is a spark. Together we can create something amazing here in 2015. Together we can ignite the spirit through a celebration of sport and culture, and it’s up to us, we can make this game truly a tremendous, legendary event.” For more information on IGNITE and how to get involved, visit www. toronto2015.org/ignite
