BARBECUE FUN: Soraya Qayumi enjoys a slide inside the bouncy castle during a barbecue organized by the Thorncliffe Park Tenants’ Association and Costco on Saturday afternoon at the former Coca Cola headquarters site on Overlea Boulevard. For more photos, see page 3.

A contribution by an anonymous donor of $1 million made it possible for Leaside Memorial Gardens arena to expand its operations and construct the first indoor ice pad built by the city in 40 years. The new NHL-sized ice surface makes its debut this Saturday, Oct. 5, when the Leaside arena, at 1073 Millwood Road, officially becomes a twinpad facility. An open house and inaugural free skate starts at 1 p.m. to celebrate the second ice pad. However, if not for the donation the $12.5 million project - which required support from all three levels of government to complete - may never have opened, said Don Valley West Councillor John Parker.

“That’s what made everything happen, when that funding was in hand, everything else happened almost immediately,” said Parker. “With the money in hand there was substance and particulars to something that had only been an idea for about 10 years.” The new facility will seat 200 along with standing and viewing areas. And compared to other arenas it will benefit from natural lighting, which will give the building an airy and bright feel, said arena board chair Ray White. Around 2,500 local hockey players and figure skaters from all levels of competition will enjoy having more ice time in a gleaming new facility, said White of the arena expansion, the largest project in the >>>SUPPORT, page 5

No football ‘night lights’ game in East York this season This year’s annual football rivalry between host East York Collegiate and Leaside High School set for next Thursday, Oct. 10, will not be held under the lights for the first time in

almost a decade. For the last eight years, the two arch rivals have battled it out in a Friday Night Lights game held under temporary lighting brought in for the occa-

sion at East York Collegiate’s Memorial Stadium. Both the senior and junior series were stalemated at 4-4. But the timing of this year’s match-up – on the eve of the

Thanksgiving long weekend – made the logistics tough, especially for the lighting, explained East York Collegiate phys-ed head Mike Perovic. Not that the players or stu-

dents will be complaining as they will head out from the games into a four-day weekend with Friday, Oct. 11 being a board-wide professional >>>LEASIDE, page 9

Sarah’s Food Drive now on in Leaside

COSTCO HOSTS BBQ

The sixth annual Sarah’s Food Drive in Leaside is now underway. Created by local student Sarah Jordan, the event collects food for the Daily Bread Food Bank’s Thanksgiving drive. As in past years, Sarah is challenging fellow students at six schools in the area to make donations to the drive. In its six years, the drive has collected close to 30,000 pounds of food. This year’s goal is to collect 24,000 pounds of food donations. Some 3,000 local students take part in the drive through events such as the Battle of Bayview, which pits schools from the east and west sides of Bayview Avenue against each other to see which collects the most donations. Local schools taking part are Northlea, Bessborough, and Rolph Road for the east; and Bennington Heights, Maurice Cody, and Blythwood for the west.

Practical and for the greater good

Write us

P

rudent health measure or nanny state legislation? When Toronto council meets next month, it is scheduled to consider implementing tough new measures on outdoor smoking in the city. These are recommendations proposed by the city’s board of health in an attempt to curb exposure to second-hand smoke. Of the series of recommendations the board made this week, one of them includes asking council to make it illegal to smoke within nine metres of the entrances to all public buildings in the city. The board of health’s recommendation that sports fields and “specific park amenities” go smoke-free as well needs parks and environment committee approval on Oct. 23 before it can go to council. Other health board recommendations, including the banning of smoking on restaurant patios, would require a change to provincial legislation. our view While the board endorsed the recommendations, Mayor Rob Non-smoking Ford has called the plan “nanny legislation must state” legislation. When it comes to new legislabe enforcable tion of any sort, we ask: Is the legislation practical? And is it for the greater good? On the first question, when it comes to banning smoking within nine metres of a public building, we do question the practicality of enforcing such a law and would like to see specific details of how the city plans to deal with that. On the second question, it’s hard to argue that it isn’t for the greater good. In a report to the board of health last September titled ‘The Burden of Illness from Tobacco in Toronto’, Medical Officer of Health Dr. David McKeown noted tobacco use and second-hand smoke remain the leading causes of preventable death in Canada. In Toronto, adult smoking rates have “seen a slowed decline since 2001,” the report said, suggesting expanded tobacco control is needed to further reduce the risks posed from second-hand smoke. The proposals announced this week stem from McKeown’s report from last September. Council must ensure they enforceable and measurable. “The history of trying to reduce the harm caused by smoking in Toronto is one of incremental measures,” McKeown said this week, acknowledging a total ban on smoking is “not a practical objective in the short term.” It’s Toronto council’s job to ensure this next step in the interest of public health is the right one.

Traffic congestion must be better managed

O

ver the past year I’ve become increasingly shocked to see just how busy the streets of Toronto have become and how aggressive drivers are being when travelling upon them. This is a sharp contrast to what it was just a year ago and as a result driving has become a daily battle on the roads. Nothing is new about that fact as I first began to write in this column how heavy the flow of traffic had become 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 to let you

into traffic if you were stuck in a bad spot, or co-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. 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 at an intersection. 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

joe cooper watchdog

new thing, but what bothers me is that so little effort is being taken to improve the situation. 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 throughout 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. I’ve seen traffic on both Pharmacy Avenue and Jarvis Street and neither of them have improved with the removal of their bike lanes. If anything, it’s encour-

aged speeding and people weaving between lanes. No matter what measures are taken it is obvious that increasing traffic pressures will be felt as more people from both inside the city and outside of it buy automobiles. 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 a crisis to act? It would appear our best choice would be to make some clear decisions now before its too late. However, our politicians can’t even decide upon a subway route at this point. I expect too little too late is what we will end up with, unfortunately.

Support of residents key to rink’s expansion >>>from page 1 Leaside’s history. The Leaside Skating Club, The Toronto-Leaside Girls Hockey Association and the Leaside Hockey Association are just some of the local groups scheduled to use the new facility after this weekend’s opening, in addition to other city leagues. “The community aspect is the cornerstone of this whole endeavour,” said White. “We’ve got interest from throughout the city for programming and it’s just overwhelming really.” In addition to the anonymous donation, a further $2.5 million was amassed through community fundraising to go with city contributions for purchasing a tract of provincially owned land for the expansion. A “tangible” contribution was also secured from the office of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who

grew up in Leaside. Despite its high cost, however, Parker said the city, which also underwrote a loan of some $7 million to finance the rink’s construction, will stand to benefit from the expansion. “The new rink will pay for itself through the revenue it generates,” he said. “It will be self-financing and that’s part of the business model that went into the approval of the project in the first place.” Parker said the new facility will be a boon not just to Leasiders, but residents who face a dearth of available ice in the central part of the city. “The need for more public ice has been clear to a lot of us for a long time,” said Parker. The arena opens for full-time operations on Sunday. For more, www.leasidegardens. com

One subway shutdown in October The TTC has cancelled another planned downtown subway shutdown for October. T h re e c l o s u re s we re planned this month along the “U” portion of the YongeUniversity routes, but last week the TTC announced it no longer needed to shut down the stations between Bloor and St. George from Oct. 19-20. That means only one service freeze is currently planned, during Thanksgiving weekend. Shuttle buses will serve the affected stations during the one confirmed shutdown which runs from Saturday, Oct 12 to Monday, Oct 14. Link returns after six month hiatus Construction of the UnionPearson (UP) Express air rail link is well underway and now comes news the airport train shuttle service LINK is set to return following a six-month hiatus. LINK, which offers a frequent rail connection between terminals at Pearson International Airport, was

Metrolinx is completing work- on the UP Express which is billed as the city’s first rapid transit connection from the airport to the downtown core. The four-stop express service is scheduled to open in time for the 2015 Toronto Pan American Games and will include stations at Pearson and Union. For Youth Recruiting wRecognized

At a ceremony in Toronto last week, Metrolinx was recognized as a top Canadian employer when it comes to recruiting youth. The provincial transit planning agency was named to the 2013 list of Canada’s Top 100 Employers for providing job opportunities to postsecondary students, as well as research fellowship and

internship opportunities. Metrolinx also recently launched a tuition subsidy program for current employees looking to further their education. Vic Park Work A Winner wTTC’s

The TTC also announced it had received an award for its restored bus terminal at the renovated Victoria Park station. Members of the design team for the project were publicly recognized at last week’s TTC board meeting for receiving a city of Toronto Urban Design Awards, one of five awarded annually for architectural excellence. The re-designed bus bay received the honour after it was transformed, in the words of Beaches-East York Councillor Janet Davis from a “concrete bunker”, to a welllit, gleaming, barrier-free area as part of a station-wide renovation completed in 2011.

Ford to focus on gravy train Mayor Rob Ford was unusually boisterous Monday when he faced reporters alongside a crowd of music industry executives to talk about his trip to Austin, Texas. I suspect it wasn’t just the prospect of visiting the Lone Star State that had him going. The real boost likely came from the matter of the Pan Am Games over-expenditures, and the afterglow of the scandal of the $2,500-abum councillors’ chairs. The chairs were ordered by an unnamed staff person; actually replicas of the chairs they were replacing: chairs that had been propping up councillors, mayors and their guests since the early 1960s when Toronto City Hall was built. Last week, Ford apologized for the purchase – coming in at some $75,000 in total – and strongly implied the person responsible for the purchase had been sacked. On Monday, Ford suggested the same thing should happen to Pan Am Games CEO Ian Troop, if

david nickle the city he can’t adequately explain a heap of questionable expenses filed by himself and his staff as they set about cobbling together the 2015 games. This is high-fibre feed for Ford, and the movement to re-elect him in 2014. Ford campaigned in 2010 with the simple promise to “stop the gravy train”. To illustrate his point, he held up outgoing Toronto Centre-Rosedale councillor Kyle Rae’s decision to spend $12,000 from his office budget on a farewell party for himself. In the total context of Toronto’s nearing $10-billion budget, $12,000 didn’t amount to much of a hit. But it surely made a difference to Ford’s fortunes in the polls, turning Toronto Council’s perennial outsider into its preeminent insider. That’s a transformation that’s hard to repeat, but

it’s the trajectory a Ford re-election campaign will almost certainly follow. Indeed, the mayor is already set up to do so. Council has long ago taken control of the municipal agenda away from Ford. Going into the next election, Ford is firmly on the outside. But just as Rae’s taxpayerfunded party was the key in 2010, so might these new examples of the ugly confluence of privilege and profligacy unlock the door to a second Rob Ford mayoralty. And the fact that neither of these are necessarily the best examples won’t deter him. But that doesn’t matter in retail politics. Rae’s use of his office budget to throw a farewell bash was all done according to the rules, too. It riled voters enough to elect Rob Ford mayor of Toronto. And if it worked before, well, why not again?

CONSUMER FEATURE

Beaches and East York parents have an exciting new extra curricular option for their children. Celebrating its grand opening this past Saturday, the brand new PRO Martial Arts school greeted the community with a day-long slate of activities and events for the whole family. “We had food, fun, free classes, and we had a few dignitaries cut the ribbon for us,” says owner and operator Don Holmes. “It’s the first of three openings in Toronto. I wanted to open first in the communities that I call home, which are the Beach and East York.” PRO Martial Arts is about far more than kicking, punching and karate workouts. From kids to adults, from beginners to experts, from karate, to kickboxing and much more every class at PRO Martial Arts includes a core focus on building confidence, staying safe, and developing character. The overall goal: Building Character for a Lifetime. “There’s really three components to PRO Martial Arts that make us different than

any of the other schools out there,” says Holmes. “Number one: the focus on health, and benefits of being physically active. The second is helping kids develop good habits and making good choices. We also give them tools they can take home and involve their parents in. We use these tools so they practice what they learn on the mats in their day-to-day lives. “The third component is keeping kids safe. The foundation of that is our ARMOUR program, which is anti-bullying and antipredatory training.” The ARMOUR Program is comprised of 12 weekly lessons on bullying prevention and 12 separate lessons on predator prevention. The lessons were developed based on research from reputable sources specializing in child safety, child psychology, and crime prevention. Every lesson is stand-alone, ensuring students can enter the course at any time. This program is designed to ensure that students have the ARMOUR needed to stand tall against bullying behavior and predator activity – both online and in their everyday lives. PRO Martial Arts offers programming for the whole family - with their Little

my

Rhinos program starting at age three - and a full adult curriculum is offered as well, including martial arts and kickboxing. All programs offer a cohesive blend of the best elements of traditional Korean martial arts. Incorporating elements of Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido, the system provides the opportunity to develop a potent blend of strength, flexibility, coordination, and balance, while learning effective and proven self-defense techniques in a fun and energizing environment.

NO

“We also do birthday parties, which include pizza, karate lessons, and our mascot Rocky the Rhino may show up! And occasionally, we do parents’ nights. Parents can drop the kids off and go out for a date night, while their kids enjoy a pizza party, karate lessons, and ageappropriate movie,” says Holmes. Open six days a week, PRO Martial Arts is now open in the Beach and East York area. For more information, visit online at www.promartialarts.com/torontobeaches, or call 416-694-8000.

Raising funds for Terry Fox HAIR TODAY...Frankland Community School’s new principal Terry Walsh challenged his students to raise 10 times more money for this year’s Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research at the school than the year before. Teacher Ms. LaForme also said she would dye her hair pink if the goal was met. The students raised the amount collected from $720 last year to $12,442 this year. So, last Friday, in front of the student body, a lottery was held and lucky students were able to assist with shaving their principal’s head. Ms. LaForme gets her hair dyed early next week and the students eagerly await the result.

Toronto Council will be considering banning outdoor smoking within nine metres of all public building entrances and possibly in certain parts of public parks in November, after Toronto’s Board of Health recommended tougher new restrictions designed to curb second-hand smoke. The board made the recommendations Monday, Sept. 30, after hearing from 18 deputations and a report from Dr. David McKeown, Toronto’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, suggesting a range of restrictions — some of which the city can impose itself, others which require provincial legislation and regulation. Immediately, the board is asking council at its November

meeting to make it illegal to smoke within nine metres of the entrance to all public buildings — which would include civic buildings, private office buildings and even apartment and condominium buildings. endorsed As well, the board endorsed a plan — which must also be endorsed by the city’s Parks and Environment Committee — to ban smoking at public beaches, near sporting fields and in high-traffic parks areas such as shelters and picnic areas. And it asked the province to ban smoking on restaurant patios too. Mayor Rob Ford, hearing of the vote, called it “nanny state” legislation and said he wouldn’t support it.

“I’m not a smoker, I don’t like it, but I don’t like governments getting involved in this. How far are they going to push it? Make the whole city smoke free? Right now I’m not going to have a nanny state where the government comes in and tells you you can’t do this or that.” Dr. McKeown said a total ban on smoking wasn’t likely in the cards for Toronto. “The history of trying to reduce the harm caused by smoking in Toronto is one of incremental measures. We do still have 16 per cent of people in Toronto who do smoke so we have to recognize that.” Board of Health Chair Joe Mihevc rejected the idea this was an example of “nanny state” intervention.
