Leaside, Drive to the basket East York footballers ready for night game

Plans stall for ‘vibrant’ O’Connor

NORM NELSON nnelson@insidetoronto.com East York’s annual Friday Night Lights football game is set for tomorrow.

As always, the East York Bowl pits two arch-rival local high schools – the host Goliaths from East York Collegiate Institute against the visiting Lancers from Leaside High School.

A s u s u a l , E a s t Yo r k Collegiate’s Memorial Field will be lit by lights trucked in especially for the eighth annual game which is organized by the school’s vibrant alumni association as well as school staff and volunteer coaches.

The junior game kicks things off at 5 p.m. followed by the senior game at 7 p.m.

Cost is $5 with all proceeds towards EYCI athletics.

No bags or backpacks will be allowed into the stadium.

Both senior teams, uncharacteristically, will go into the game seeking their first win after opening the season with two losses.

East York lost 39-7 to defending city champ Northern Sept. 28 and 21-6 to Sir Wilfrid Laurier Sept.

21; while Leaside lost 23-9 to Sir Wilfrid Laurier Sept. 27 and 21-6 to Birchmount Park Sept. 20.

With the junior teams, East York won its opener 28-15 >>> friday, page 16

Its “avenue study” remains under wraps, but a rough outline of how the City of Toronto plans to create a “vibrant” O’Connor Avenue seemed to leave no one happy at a meeting this week.

Not the residents determined to fight taller buildings on their main street tooth and nail because they think O’Connor carries too much traffic already.

Not the business and property owners who see restrictive zoning as stifling a comeback for the street.

And not Janet Davis, the local councillor, who said the study was “put on a shelf” unfinished for six years despite her prodding.

It perhaps sunk in, while around 80 people listened Monday at the PresteignWoodbine United Church, that no one was lining up to transform the stretch of lowrise apartment blocks and two-storey plazas between Victoria Park Avenue and Sandra Road.

There have been only three development applications in the study area since 2006, including one currently pro>>>development, page 8

Consultation sought on Coxwell exit plan

Environment Day

RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com

Staff photo/NICK PERRY

DIGGING IN: Dougal Bichan picks up some compost for his garden at a city environment day event at Riverdale Park East, hosted by Toronto-Danforth Councillor Paula Fletcher, on Saturday morning.

A member of an east end community group wants the TTC to work more closely with residents on the future of Coxwell subway station.

Stephen Wicken of the Danforth East Community Association (DECA) said he was disappointed the commission didn’t collaborate more with the residents living near the station, located on Strathmore Boulevard, east of Coxwell Avenue, on a plan to install two elevators to improve accessibility.

In order to proceed with the project, The TTC has requested approval from city council to expropriate several properties near the station.

Council’s decision is expected to come at this week’s meeting at city hall.

And while Wicken said his group won’t stand in the way of the plan, he criticized the “piecemeal” approach to tackling the re-development of the station.

“We need to stop looking at stations as isolated bits of infrastructure,” said Wicken on Tuesday

morning. “All we’re looking for is a real planning study that looks at how the station can be best integrated in to the area.”

Wicken said the history of the station since it opened in 1966 has been marked by poor planning on the part of the TTC as well as various levels of government.

DECA, he said, has long supported a second exit at the intersection of Danforth and Coxwell Avenues, which would revitalize the area by bringing in more street traffic. He suggested such a plan could be financed through a joint partnership between the public and private sector.

Beaches-East York Councillor Janet Davis said she supported the plan to install elevators at Coxwell Station, which would be located at street level and on the subway platform. “I’m thrilled Coxwell Station will become accessible,” said Davis.

“It will open the city up to many people who couldn’t get around.

Davis said she understood the concerns of local groups like DECA but said it was crucial to make transit more accessible.

Community group to honour memory of Layton, Zavys JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com WoodGreen Community Services is recognizing two local leaders, the late Jack Layton and Rima Zavys, for their many contributions to the city’s east end by naming one of its buildings and the program space in another location in their honour.

“They both, in their own ways, played very significant roles in the community,” said Brian Smith, WoodGreen’s president and CEO, during a recent interview.

“We want to recognize their contributions to the east end.”

At its 75th Annual General Meeting last Thursday, the east end social service agency announced its 170-unit affordable housing complex for seniors at 1070 Queen St. E. at Pape Avenue would be named

Jack Layton Seniors Housing in honour of the late local councillor, MP and federal NDP leader.

During the meeting, Layton’s widow, Trinity-Spadina MP Olivia Chow, was presented with a large image of the building set to be named in his honour.

“Jack was a well-known local leader. Throughout his career he was a great supporter of the community, especially housing issues,” Smith said, adding the non-profit organization had previously named a private street south of Queen Street East off Pape Avenue in honour of the late local MPP Jim Renwick.

He said WoodGreen started talking about doing something special to honour Layton shortly after his passing from cancer last August at the age of 61.

Further, Smith said it was also important for WoodGreen to honour

File photo/KATHRYN HOLLINRAKE

WoodGreen Community Services will honour the late Jack Layton and Rima Zavys.

Zavys’ work at the east end social service agency.

Also at its AGM, WoodGreen announced it plans on naming the program room at its First Step

to Home residence Rima’s Place in honour of Zavys, who served in a range of roles at the organization from manager of housing to manager of neighbourhood develop-

ment and eventually director of that department where she developed its housing help and homelessness program until her untimely death of breast cancer on Jan. 17, 2012 at the age of 45. “(Rima) was a tremendous advocate for homelessness and was a driving force around the issue of bedbugs. She really brought that to the forefront,” said Smith.

She added a photo of the First Step to Home building was also presented to Zavys’ husband and children during last week’s annual general meeting.

WoodGreen Community Services is planning on holding a ceremony for Rima’s Place this fall, while the dedication for Jack Layton Seniors Housing is set to take place in the spring.

A memorial plaque and photo will be dedicated at both locations.

Junior Citizen Awards a chance to nurture creativity

W

ho are the outstanding youth in your community?

The Ontario Community Newspapers Association, of which The East York-Leaside-Riverdale Mirror is a member, wants to know.

They want to know about the youth who are performing community service – independently, or through their schools and volunteer organizations.

These youth are performing heroic acts. They’re contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation. They do more than what is our view normally expected of someone their age.

A number of youth from Toronto communities have been both nominated and recognized over the years.

Last year, two of them, Kalem McSween and Andrew Sigmaringam, then 17, were among the 12 provincial recipients. Overall, there were 176 nominees from across the province.

McSween, a North York resident, served as a peer mentor to Grade 9 students who have been struggling and are “at risk” both academically and socially.

He was also selected to participate with the Toronto Police Services’ Youth in Policing Initiative.

Sigmaringam, an Etobicoke resident, helped raise $5,000 for the Free the Children charity and has assisted children with autism. Born deaf, he had cochlear implant surgery as a toddler to allow him to hear. He also shares his personal experiences as a guest speaker at workshops.

Any Ontario resident between six and 17 (as of Nov. 30) is eligible to be nominated. Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as recipients of a provincial award and will be invited to a special ceremony next spring.

Recognizing youth contributions is positive. But this should go beyond actual recognition. Ultimately, the value of Ontario Junior Citizen Awards is more than providing deserved recognition for the fine work youth do in our communities.

We recently wrote in this space on the value of engaging younger citizens for the purpose of ensuring existing volunteer organizations survive a change in generational leadership. We must nurture that innovation and creativity to ensure it blossoms.

When our future leaders are being encouraged to explore a pioneering spirit, it means there are fresh, relevant and contemporary solutions to community challenges. The nomination deadline is Nov. 30.

Nomination forms are available at www.ocna.org/ juniorcitizen or by calling 905-639-8720 ext. 239.

We must encourage future leaders

Decision on Jarvis bike lanes a step backwards

I

n the late 1940s a new road opened in Toronto called the Clifton Road Extension and connected St. Clair Avenue East and Jarvis Street.

The road was thought necessary due to increasing car traffic from the suburbs north of St. Clair Avenue.

It took roughly 10 years from approval to final opening and there was controversy as it called for the demolition of homes in established communities. On May 17, 1950 it was opened, and called Mount Pleasant Road, considered Toronto’s first expressway.

What is important is not just the impact the new road had on the area north of St. Clair Avenue, but what happened to Jarvis Street – once one of the city’s most beautiful streets, developed specifically for the rich. Many of the city’s most notable institutions and architecture was found there including Jarvis Collegiate Institute and Allan Gardens. In 1947 the stately trees that lined the street were

cut down, and it was widened for a new fifth lane to facilitate traffic from Mount Pleasant Road, which soon flowed in such high volume that many of the old homes and mansions were torn down to make way for commercial buildings and high-rise apartments.

Many of the older buildings were turned into rooming houses and then simply decayed. By the 1970s the street was a text book example of how heavy traffic flow negatively impacts street life.

The sidewalks were abandoned to drug addicts and prostitutes.

However, thanks to the intervention of urban planners and theorists, such as Jane Jacobs and David

Crombie, downtown of Toronto came to be saved from the “empty doughnuthole” fate of many American cities. Starting with decisions made in 2008, Jarvis was slated for re-development to make the streetscape peoplefriendly.

However, the current regime at city hall has decided to return Jarvis Street to its 1950s form by eliminating the new bike lanes and reinstating the fifth traffic lane at an estimated cost of up to $300,000. The rationale being that drivers are delayed getting from Mount Pleasant due to the bike lanes. It seems that Mayor Rob Ford and his supporters would rather spend tax dollars to keep a 60-year-old planning mistake in place than embrace new urban policies proven to build strong communities. n Joe Cooper is a long-time East York resident and community activist. His column appears every Thursday.

To the editor: Re: ‘Transit users speak out against bad behaviour,’ Special Report, Sept. 27.

I read the article by Rahul Gupta; I could not believe the comments made by TTC chief customer service officer Chris Upfold.

“Rudeness is not something that catches my attention as being high.”

Another statement by Upfold was that riders should alter their travel patterns and the times they travel in order to reduce potential disputes.

I could go on and on. The message sent by Upfold was rudeness and disrespect for others wins.

Values, respect, manners and etiquette are instilled into us at an early age with maturity bringing that forward to our later years.

Once again the TTC has exposed itself to show us how deep their problems lie. The TTC biggest hurdle is the TTC. Ray Blais

On our @TOinTransit Twitter account we received a number of responses to our coverage on rude riders on the TTC. Below is a sampling of some of the Tweets we received. To get in on conversation visit us @ TOinTransit @commutersunited: It’s time to start a subway etiquette rule! @micahbarnes: why have we Toronto people become so deeply selfish and rude while in public spaces like the TTC? @MonicaAraujo33: Reading the paper I came across “transit riders complain about the rude ride on the TTC courtesy of other passengers” couldn’t agree more. @RachieB13 Dear annoying rude loud girl on the phone while on the bus.

Metroland Media Group’s Metroland Central division now stretches all the way to North Bay, under the direction of Toronto Community News publisher and Metroland vice president Ian Proudfoot.

The division, previously comprised of Toronto Community News and York Region Media Group, now reaches a readership of more than 900,000 homes on a weekly basis, stretching from the heart of the city in Toronto to North Bay in Ontario’s Near North, now incorporating Simcoe/Muskoka division properties.

The expansion offers exciting new opportunities and relationships for readers, clients, community partners and the more than 800 talented employees in Metroland Central, Proudfoot said.

Acknowledged as a passionate advocate of the newspaper industry, both print and online, Proudfoot now is publisher of more than 50 print and online products. “Removing borders has created exceptional opportunities for our clients to extend their reach,” Proudfoot said.

In announcing the expanded division, effective Oct. 1, Metroland

president Ian Oliver paid tribute to retiring vice-president and Simcoe/ Muskoka regional publisher Joe Anderson. “Joe’s creativity, drive and strategic focus have made him a significant contributor to Metroland.”

Proudfoot led the creation of the Metroland Central division in May, adding Toronto Community News to his York Region Media Group, upon the retirement of TCN publisher Betty Carr.

Metroland’s Toronto, York Region, Simcoe, Muskoka, Parry Sound and North Bay media properties have a tradition of creating strong community partnerships and supporting non-profit organizations, through volunteering, donations and services.

Proudfoot’s longtime commitment and outstanding contribution to community was recognized when he received a 2011 Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship.

He is quick to acknowledge the contributions and talents of his employees, adding, “I’m honoured to work with people who have true passion for their communities and what they do on a daily basis.”

h, goody. The October meeting of Mayor Rob Ford’s executive committee will have a familiar treat: a jolly long talk about how the city might fund major transit expansion projects in the future.

It is familiar indeed. From Mel Lastman to David Miller to Rob Ford, the dream of big transit projects has fueled both rhetoric and design like no other project except maybe property tax increases.

In that sense, the conversation starting this month and going into next spring will be a little stilted, and might not go anywhere.

That’s because the report from City Manager Joe Pennachetti frames the question at the nexus of those ideas: namely, how to finance big transit expansion, whatever that may be, using among other things, big whopping property tax increases.

The report is something Toronto Council asked for, mostly in response to Mayor Ford’s moving target plan to build a Sheppard subway into Scarborough using private sector money and a growing amount of federal and provincial grants.

In shutting down the subway dream, council in its wisdom decided to look at ways of financing transit absent either the private sector or nominal help from higher orders of government.

It is a sensible thing to do: an “adult” conversation that determines what exactly Torontonians are willing to pay for in the way of public transit, which is to say, how much Torontonians are willing to pay.

The report looks at hiking the land transfer tax by a percentage point, reinstating a $100 vehicle registration tax, imposing road tolls on highways, and a one per cent property tax hike.

In the same agenda, the city manager is setting up a plan to devise a transit plan itself based upon a review of the city’s

david nickle Official Plan.

Once again, it is a sober and sensible approach to transit planning — two elements lacking in both Mayor Ford’s subway dream, and the bus-token-in-every-pocket approach that TTC Chair Karen Stintz came up with in the spring with the frenetically gerrymandering One City transit expansion plan.

Seems dull and sensible and prosaic, yes?

Well, there is still an element of pipe dream to it all. Because even as Toronto Council is considering these plans, so too is Metrolinx, the provincial government’s go-to agency when it comes to financing new transit.

Metrolinx also is looking at ways to finance its own transit expansion plans – plans which encompass the entire Golden Horseshoe.

Meanwhile, there is an emerging consensus that what Toronto really needs is a downtown relief subway line — the least regionally beneficial transit expansion imaginable.

The question becomes: if roads do get tolled in Toronto, just whose projects will that money go toward?

And so it goes: the conversation on transit will go on, with no end in sight.

Development difficult, meeting told >>>from page 1 posing a 10-storey building at the site of the O’Connor Bowl.

“The number of inquiries was minimal,” added Marian Prejel, a planner assigned to the study, which will include Official Plan amendments and design guidelines but won’t change zoning on the street.

Prejel didn’t paint a picture of much change: There may be a place for midrise buildings on O’Connor at Victoria Park, particularly the southeast corner, but the St. Clair Avenue intersection, she said, is unusual and hard to develop, as are the East York storefronts, with their shallow lots and low consolidation potential.

Hearing this, residents involved in 2006 discussions expressed disappointment with the study and wondered how it would help at all.

One woman said she thought the city, when the study was done, would spend to beautify the area, “so people would think this would be a nice place to open a Starbucks.”

Why would people set up shop where businesses have moved out and there’s nothing nice to look at, she asked.

Prejel said the lack of “upzoning”

– building permission for midrise buildings into the study - reflected the community’s opposition to any greater heights or densities in 2006.

“That was the message we received and that was the message we’ve been working with,” she said.

Another woman said the planners gave up on zoning changes because they didn’t want a confrontation with residents. “No developer is going to come and risk battling with the community,” she said.

Clive Williams left saying the study was a waste of money.

In 2006, he said, he was one of two men proposing a city-wide sculpture contest to relieve the “stupifying ugliness of O’Connor.”

Prejel told him sidewalk widths in the East York portion leave few opportunities to install public art.

Williams was unimpressed. “Something has to relieve the sterility,” he said later. “It’s uninviting, ugly and they’re waiting for it to be improved higgledypiggledy.”

Others argued against city policies protecting vacant employment lands on the west side of O’Connor from mixed development and requiring buildings on the main street areas to be rebuilt, to a three-storey maximum, with commercial businesses on the main floor.

The city is “overrun” with small commercial units whose owners do

badly, said John Carinci, a developer who asked how many variety stores and nail salons Toronto needs.

Protecting employment lands on O’Connor’s west side, where Carinci owns land, is another outdated approach, he argued.

“My property will sit, 1.8 acres, vacant for the next 30 years.”

Re s i d e n t s h a v e t o become more practical and allow more families into the area if O’Connor is to recover, Carinci said.

Joe Guercio said increasing heights on the street is the only way to attract developers. Having moved his art restoration business from Cabbagetown, he said he found property taxes on O’Connor were higher, yet around his former location “they had planters, they had nice lights, and they had the front facades all redone.”

Davis told an audience in August she opposes the 10-storey mixed-use proposal for O’Connor Bowl as it stands.

Following Monday’s meeting, however, she said development is coming to O’Connor and the design guidelines will produce buildings of six to eight storeys along the street.

The guidelines, Prejel said, will be reviewed and possibly revised before they are posted online seven to 10 days before a Nov. 8 planning committee meeting at city hall, where people are welcome to make deputations.

Sexuality and the Tamil World conference slated for East York Four panelist will share their experiences this Sunday at a discussion on sexuality and “being queer” in the Tamil communities of Tamil Nadu and Toronto.

The free talk, Sexuality and the Tamil World: Histories and Realities, is part of a conference organized by the Tamil Resource Centre to hear the views of people the group says are “traditionally alienated” in Tamil society.

Starting at 2 p.m. in St. Columba and All Hallows Church at 2723 St. Clair Ave. E., east of O’Connor Drive, the panel will address topics such as the lack of community “space” for gay Tamil men.

■ Drug charges

A number of people are facing charges after police searched a home in the Woodbine and Sammon avenues area in response to complaints from the community that the residence was being used to sell and consume drugs.

Police from 54 Division’s major crime unit started an investigation in the area on Sunday, Sept. 23.

On Tuesday of last week, four men were arrested and charged with possession of cocaine.

On Wednesday, police executed a search warrant on the home and seized cocaine, heroin and cash. Eight other people face drug charges in connection with the raid.

Police announced the arrests in a release on Friday.

■ Armed robbery charges

Six teenagers face charges in connection with an armed robbery in Thorncliffe Park.

Police allege six males, three armed with handguns, walked into a business and robbed the victim of cash around 11 p.m. Sept. 17.

Last week, police executed six search warrants and seized two imitation firearms and cash.

Three 16 year olds and three 17 year olds have been charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, robbery while armed with a firearm and forcible confinement.

They can’t be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

This Halloween, hand out something more than a treat.

Friday Night Lights hosts are up 4-3 in senior, junior series >>>from page 1 over North Toronto Collegiate Sept. 27 while Leaside is playing its opener.

As for the Friday Night Lights event itself, East York is up 4-3 in both the senior and junior series.

However, the senior affair has been streaky with East York seniors winning the first four and Leaside the last three.

The junior showdown has been more back and forth.

The two local high schools find themselves in a new division with realignment being sparked by Catholic board schools deciding to compete amongst themselves this year.

As a result East York and Leaside are now competing against three Scarborough schools – Birchmount Park, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir John A Macdonald.

In previous years, they competed in a division with midtown Toronto schools such as Northern Secondary, Lawrence

Park Collegiate and Central Tech.

The junior teams are in a division with Sir John A Macdonald, North Toronto Collegiate and Malvern Collegiate.

■OTHER LOCAL SCHOOLS Other east-end schools with football programs include Danforth Collegiate and Technical Institute, Malvern Collegiate and a combined Eastern Commerce/Monarch Park team, all competing in tier two senior.

■ OTHER SPORTS Other fall sports on tap include girls basketball and field hockey and boys volleyball and soccer.

The Toronto District School Board keeps schedules, standings and scores on its website at http:// www.tdsb.on.ca (link through sports).
