Danforth East Arts Fair set for East Lynn Park The Danforth East neighbourhood is full of creative people and many of its talented artists will be on display at the Danforth East Arts Fair this weekend. The fourth annual event is set to take place in East Lynn Park on Sept. 15 and 16 with more than 50 artists – many of them local, including Heather Tormey, Lisa Dickie and newcomer Dan Murphy. “The main reason I wanted to be part of it is it’s in the neighbourhood,” Murphy said. “I’d been looking for somewhere to show my work and this was a perfect opportunity for me.” The artist has been a graphic designer for years and then started painting more recently, but has only

shown his work at a few juried arts shows. This will be his first time at a juried art fair selling his pieces. He’s done 10 pieces specifically for the event and has both small and large canvasses for sale. Murphy is one of the lucky ones, many people interested in showing their art at the popular event were turned away because the interest is so great. After starting with 32 artists in its first year, the arts fair has grown each subsequent year. “We’ve slowly increased that number ... This year we’ll have 61, which from what we can tell is the most we can fit in the park,” said Mary Cowan, one of the volunteer organizers. >>>ART, page 6
Local residents can take part in Terry Fox runs Local residents have a number of options if they wish to take part in a Terry Fox Run this Sunday. There are nearby runs slated for Wilket Creek Park, the Beach and Moore Park. The Beach run begins at the Woodbine Bathing Change House (east of Coxwell Avenue and south of Lakeshore Boulevard. The run goes from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with registration starting at 8:15 a.m. The Moore Park runs starts at the Mooredale House Car Park, 146 Crescent Rd. It goes from 8 a.m. to noon. The Wilket Creek Park run goes
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It begins in the park, which is located just north of Eglinton Avenue off Leslie Street. All runs are also open to walkers, cyclists, rollerbladers and are wheelchair accessible. This is the 32nd year for the Terry Fox Run, held in memory of Fox who at the age of 20 started his Marathon of Hope in April of 1980 in Newfoundland. The Marathon of Hope ended on Sept. 1, 1980 just outside Thunder Bay, ON, as Fox was forced to stop because cancer had spread to his lungs. He died on June 28, 1981.

Chamber orchestra launches at St. Barnabas ANGELINE MAIR eym@insidetoronto.com
for this concert.” The chamber orchestra’s goal is to showcase young Canadian musicians and composers and this Sunday’s performance does just that, with all the musicians aged between 18 and 30. For example, Tchernikova asked 30-year-old Kevin Lau, who has a two-year-appointment as the affiliate composer with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra to help write some fresh music for Sunday’s performance and he didn’t hesitate, she said.
A new chamber orchestra celebrating young musicians and composers launches its inaugural season this Sunday, thanks to a local entrepreneurial musician. Anastasia Tchernikova, who is the artistic director and conductor of the newly formed chamber group said, “I wanted to breath life into the church and the community.” Her brainchild, Musica Reflecta, rehearses and performs at St. Barnabas Anglican Church, which is also the 24 year old’s home. As many musicians and music teachers know, choosing a place to live can be a challenge. And finding a residence without neighbours can be a godsend. And that’s when Tchernikova knew St. Barnabas was a match made in heaven for her and her new project. Tchernikova answered an online classified looking for a tenant in the church’s vacant one-bedroom apartment.
Double feature
Perfect fit She said it is the perfect fit for someone who wants to practise her music and host rehearsals — without having the neighbours complain. However, no matter how much Tchernikova practised, filled in as guest conductor for professional orchestra’s she could not get hired - because she needed professional experience. She said, “It’s a Catch22”. As most university or conservatory trained musicians discover the real world is a cold place and with the comfort of the academic community gone — there are fewer

chances to perform. “We can’t get into professional orchestra’s,” she explained. Tchernikova, who graduated from the University of Toronto as a piano major added, “No longer being affiliated with a university — you are not able to ring up your old classmates and see if they need a conductor.” This left her fewer opportunities to practise as a conductor. “There is
no degree for conducting.” It’s at this point she got in tune with her entrepreneurial spirit and created Musica Reflecta. She quickly overcame her insecurity of cold calling, and dialed up a few old classmates to share her idea of an orchestra that provides opportunities for developing professional musicians to collaborate with one another and supports the growth of new composers and Canadian
Beach Hill takes top spot in Name the Hood contest JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com
The Gerrard-Woodbine neighbourhood has a new name. After more than two months of voting, members of the Gerrard Wo o d b i n e N e i g h b o u r h o o d Association (GWNA) have decided to call their community Beach Hill. Throughout the summer, the GWNA hosted a three-part Name the Hood contest. It started off with residents and business owners submitting a range of neighbourhood names they liked. The group’s members then submitted their vote for the Top 10 entries. From there, a third ballot
whittled that number down to the Top 4 as there was a tie. The winning name was unveiled during the relatively new neighbourhood association’s first potluck social last Saturday. More than 90 people came out to find out which entry was the winner. Natural name
“The neat thing about Beach Hill is every ballot it went up,” said Kate Tennier, the association’s founder and coordinator, adding although she had suggested Gerrard Woodbine Village, she’s happy with the chosen moniker. Tennier said it makes sense to call the community Beach Hill because
if one looks down Woodbine Avenue, the Beach is clearly visible. “It’s kind of a natural name,” she said. Tennier, who has lived in the area for 16 years, credited the dedicated three-member team of Steve D’Souza, Shelly Baboolall and Bill Anderson for running the contest. “It was a lot of work but it was fun and it connected the community. Everybody was talking about it,” she said. “We’re just hoping (Beach Hill) will kind of grow organically. Hopefully people will one day say, ‘I live in the Beach Hill neighbourhood’.” For more information about the GWNA, visit www.gerrardwoodbine. com
compositions. “Everyone was really supportive. And I think about 95 per cent said yes,” she said. This is when she realized how many of her peers were looking for the same thing: to perform and to expand their network. She chose a chamber group because “there is flexibility with a chamber group - you can have brass and strings, which we have
The season launches with a double feature starting with French composer Maurice Ravel’s suites, Tombeau de Couperin, arranged for woodwind quintet and string quartet. The six movements are composed by Anastasia Tchernikova, Edwin Sheard, Adam Scime, Jay Caron, Tze Yeung Ho and Saman Shahi. The second half of the program features the debut performance of Young Patchwork Suite, a contemporary reflection upon Ravel’s early 20th century work, in which each of six original movements are written by an emerging Canadian composer. The composers include, Kevin Lau, Sahlia Wong, Bram Gielen, Spencer Cole, Edwin Sheard and Chris Thornborrow. Musica Reflecta takes place Sunday, Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Barnabas Anglican Church, (361 Danforth Ave. Tickets are available at the door for $20 and $15 for students and at a reduced price in advance at musicareflecta.wordpress.com

Terry Fox Run: sustain a legacy T
here’s a lesson for volunteer organizations to observe when it comes to the Terry Fox Run. The event has grown enormously over its 32 years and is now a worldwide undertaking – one that even goes beyond the traditional Sunday run in multiple locales. For example, there’s now a separate National School Run Day. There’s also an intriguing new initiative making its debut this year. Canadian university students are being urged to get involved with Terry’s Cause on Campus. Among its goals is “to inspire future generations with Terry’s story of courage, selflessness and hope.” So far, our view nine events are confirmed, including one in Toronto. You can honour Students at University of Toronto will participate in a run the memory of bringing students from all three of its campus locations (down- Canadian hero town Toronto, Mississauga, Scarborough) to its Scarborough campus. While most of the university events are taking place Sunday, Toronto’s is scheduled for Oct. 3. It’s a fitting expansion for a number of reasons. Terry Fox was a first-year student at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. when he was diagnosed with bone cancer, which resulted in his right leg being amputated above the knee. The connection of this event to a university campus is an obvious one. Just as importantly, by directly engaging university students – our leaders of tomorrow – Terry Fox Run organizers are making a shrewd, sustainable investment in ensuring the continuation of Fox’s legacy. It also signals renewal. Many organizations run the risk of becoming irrelevant once the generation that created those organizations passes on. It’s a sad, but undeniable reality; volunteer organizations need to consider a form of succession planning if they hope to be sustainable. And there’s reason to hope. Our young people do volunteer. In a Statistics Canada report released earlier this year, titled Caring Canadians, Involved Canadians, nearly 60 per cent of Ontarians between the ages of 15 and 24 volunteered at least once in the previous 12 months. It’s the highest volunteer rate of the six age groups cited in the survey, and well above the provincial rate of 47.7 per cent. Participating in the Terry Fox Run is an excellent way to honour the memory of a bonafide Canadian hero. It always has been. It’s encouraging to see that growth continue and that investments are being made to ensure the continuation of Fox’s legacy. Toronto Community News is a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

To the editor: As a former high school teacher, the beginning of September always meant back to school. I realize now that backto-school time is the perfect time to have a frank conversation with children about the importance of managing their personal finances, especially if they are moving out on their own. The agency I lead, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), was established in 2001 to help Canadian consumers gain a better understanding of financial products and services. The Government of Canada has given FCAC the mandate to foster financial literacy. The agency continues to develop resources for students and all Canadians to help them strengthen their knowledge, skills and confidence to make responsible financial decisions.

My morning cup of coffee habit runneth over
I
used to go to A Popular Coffee Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless first thing every morning. The lineups at my stop were legendary, just like at all their locations, but I didn’t mind. Toronto’s a big city that’s getting bigger by the nanosecond. Endless queues go with the territory. Besides, at A Popular Coffee Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless, the wait was well worth it. As your basic devoted customer, the cashiers all recognized me and started punching in my order before I even had to ask. What can I say? At that early hour when you’re not sure if you’re even conscious yet, every little bit helps. Alas, nothing lasts forever, I’m afraid. A Popular Coffee Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless decided to expand its menu to com-

pete not just with companies in the coffee business, but with fast-food outlets offering lunch and dinner fare, too. Not good, from my perspective. Not good at all. An unfortunate byproduct of that marketing strategy at my favourite haunt was that the cashiers now had so many goodies to keep track of, though they didn’t stop recognizing me, they couldn’t remember what I wanted anymore. Not that I could blame them. Fact is, I couldn’t remember what the heck I wanted anymore, either. They changed their cup sizes not
soon after and I was struggling just with that. Nope. This was definitely a sign for me to move on. It was evident that it was way too much to absorb for all of us. I had to get out of there. Ah, but where to go? That was the $1.80 question. As it turns out, not very far at all. To a place just around the corner. A place I walk by every day. A place I had never thought of to get my morning coffee fix. A place known worldwide as A Popular Fast-Food Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless. Whoulda thunk it? I didn’t know anybody bought coffee at A Popular Fast-Food Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless. But many do, apparently. And as it turns out, the coffee there is quite tasty. What’s more, right off the bat my cashier passed the “customer service” litmus test with flying colours:
by Day 2 she remembered what I wanted. The icing on the cake? It’s not nearly as busy during the mornings in A Popular Fast-Food Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless as it is in A Popular Coffee Franchise That Shall Remain Nameless. The big crowds don’t start until the lunch hour, long after I’m gone. So I said, “I’ll drink to that.” Coffee, that is, of course. And just what kind of coffee do I prefer, you may ask? Why, the only kind there is as far as I’m concerned. The kind the cashier calls “The usual”. And all I have to do is nod. n Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously.

Teachers, students back in class at Danforth Tech Fire last spring caused extensive damage to music and drama rooms on main floor JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com School’s back in at Danforth Collegiate and Technical Institute after a three-alarm fire last April forced the closure of the local high school’s north and west wings and the relocation of dozens of classes to three nearby schools. After months of scrubbing and repairs, all 1,150 students and their teachers returned to classes at Danforth Tech last Tuesday. The only area of the school that remains off limits is the main floor drama and music rooms, which are currently in the midst of being renovated/modernized and are set to reopen by the new year. “We want to take the time to do it right,” said Chris Broadbent, manager of occupational health and safety for the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). While a light smoke odour still permeates the hallways and classrooms most impacted by the April 25 fire, he said the air quality in the school’s north and west wings continues to be tested and is within the standards for indoor environ-

A fire last April caused extensive damage to music and drama rooms on the main floor of Danforth Tech. Students and teachers are now back in the school, though the music and drama rooms are still being renovated.
ments. “Since that day we’ve been monitoring air quality. There’s a little bit of a lingering smell in that one hall-
way,” said Broadbent, noting the cost of repairing and cleaning the school as well as replacing damaged materials and relocating classes is
in the “millions of dollars.” “The environment is safe. Students or staff or anyone entering the building is absolutely safe.” Construction workers are still on site during the day and some items are still being moved in and out of the school at this time, he said. “The repairs are still ongoing.” Late last week Principal Denise Martins gave the TDSB’s Director of Education Chris Spence a tour of the recently renovated and cleaned up areas of the school. “We have restored everything but the two directly affected areas where the fire’s point of origin was,” said Martins, who has been involved in the repair and restoration process every step of the way, following the tour. “All students are attending classes.” Martins thanked the school community for their patience and support. “The students were doing amazing when we were in the sharedschool model. Our No. 1 priority now is to make sure teachers and students feel safe and secure in their school,” she said, adding since the
new school year has started, she’s noticed an extra sense of gratitude from students thankful for the work that has been done over the summer to repair their school. “It was a huge group effort to get ready for September...I think it was a real pulling together of our community – our students, our teachers and our parents.” Further, Martins said she has no concerns about the safety of the school and said the school community is stronger than ever before. Spencer also expressed his appreciation to all involved in getting Danforth Tech back in business. “What a great team effort it was,” he said. Danforth Tech hosted its welcome back assembly last Friday. The school’s commencement ceremony, which usually takes place at the end of the school year, was pushed back to Oct. 4 so graduates could receive their diplomas at the school. At this time, no arrests have been made in connection with the fire. Anyone with any information is urged to contact police or Crime Stoppers.

Art festival on this weekend >>>from page 1 Though there are some artists from as far away as Peterborough and Montreal, about half are local. “That’s always something we strived to do, but what thrills me is the quality hasn’t gone down because of that,” Cowan said. In addition to the fine art, ceramics, photography and jewelry there will be a wide range of children’s clothing, toys and accessories. Local resident Tormey will be there with her Little Ra’s designs for the third year. “When my daughter was born and I was getting tired of the pinks and purples I started to make things for her and for friends and family,” she said. Her handmade designs include polka-dot dresses, reversible pants, and even a super-hero style cape. Tormey said the response to her work is always positive at the show and she enjoys going back each year. “I really think it’s important to support community events,” she said. “It’s a well run show.” She also makes a point of checking out the other artists and supporting them, such as Dickie. She is the artist behind Coy Clothes, which starts with retro advertising art and then she re-writes the copy and silk screens the images onto T-shirts, as well as table clothes, napkins and aprons. It’s also her third year at the local arts fair.

MY LIFE
is about gratitude
MY MEDICINE is my hope My name is Maureen Smith I’m 53 years old I’m from Ottawa and I live with a rare hormonal disorder
I was born with an extremely rare disorder which means I have zero growth hormone. As a child, I received medication to keep my condition in check but there was no treatment for adults with this disorder, so for 20 years my health deteriorated drastically. By sheer willpower and a lot of luck, I found a clinical trial for a new drug – my life was changed. I can’t describe the exhilaration of taking a medicine that literally turns your despair into hope. I’m healthier today than I was at 25, and I am so grateful for the medicine that keeps me alive. www.canadapharma.org/hope Canada’s Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies Making Canada Better

ob Ford was never going to get out of that courtroom unscathed, and by the time Clayton Ruby was finished with him on the stand last Wednesday, the Mayor of Toronto was pretty much on the ropes. At the end of it, our mayor emerged as a seemingly careless steward of the city, wilfully ignorant of the laws he had sworn to uphold, a passionate defender of the social benefits of high school football but disinterested in almost everything else. It’s not a surprise. If Ruby had been permitted to by Judge Charles Hackland, he might have been able to introduce a laundry list of stories with which we are all familiar regarding Ford’s behaviour. Ford’s lawyer Alan Lenczner successfully argued that questioning on those matters would do more than embarrass the mayor. It might also have embarrassed a great many
THE CITY
david nickle
voters – because let’s face it: no one who voted for him could say they weren’t told exactly the kind of guy Ford was. Now, he is facing the very real prospect of losing the job to which he was elected. Unless Hackland is persuaded by Lenczner’s suite of finely honed legal arguments – council had no authority to order the repayment; the mayor made an error in judgement in good faith; Ford’s interpretation of the Conflict of Interest Act (which he admitted to never having read) is correct – he will have little choice but to remove the mayor from office. If the sentence comes down without also imposing a restriction preventing him from running,
it could be that Ford becomes a candidate in the byelection called to replace him. It could be that he would prevail in such a byelection on the well-worn narrative of victimhood: Rob Ford, the candidate who was removed from elected office by a judge for the crime of helping schools in poor neighbourhoods have football teams. If the judge imposes restrictions, count on him running again in the first election he can. And give him good odds of winning that one. Because the time has come to face facts: when it comes to Rob Ford, there is a large constituency of voters that don’t want to face facts when it comes to their candidate. Their love appears to be unconditional. n David Nickle is The Mirror’s City Hall columnist. His column appears every Thursday. Contact him at dnickle@insidetoronto.com

The organization, which funds some 200 health and social service agencies across the city, is also asking residents to share their ideas on how to build a stronger Toronto. Members of many of those agencies dropped by Commerce Court as United Way Toronto unveiled its latest initiative, Imagine a City, at its annual fundraising campaign launch last Thursday. Imagine a City calls on people to go online and share ideas they feel will strengthen Toronto. United Way Toronto president and CEO Susan McIsaac will blog regularly at www.imagineacity.ca, as will 10 guest bloggers from various service agencies. “It’s an opportunity for everyone in the community to sign up and share their ideas for how to build a better city,” McIsaac said. “One of the things we’ve realized is that people out there have so many great ideas and we want to hear them.” Guest blogger Kadeem Robin of
East Metro Youth Services – one of the United Way’s member agencies – will blog about the importance of positive role models for young people. “Not having a role model when I was younger caused me to seek out other people to fill that role,” he said. “I first noticed it when I was young and walking in the snow, back when Toronto got a lot of snow. I realized it was easier to walk in the footsteps of someone else.” Big impact Robin benefited from East Metro Youth Services’ programs and now hopes to let others know of the impact they can have by being a positive role model, or simply by supporting the United Way. While the launch of Imagine a City marked a major part of the United Way’s campaign launch, the organization also unveiled its fundraising target for the coming year. United Way Toronto has set a $116 million target, $1 million more than the amount raised last year. “We know it’s going to be tough, but the agencies we fund really, really need the money,” McIsaac

said. “What they’ve told us is that the demand has increased and it’s increasingly difficult to get (outside) funding as well.” McIsaac said agencies that provide youth services and employment services seem to have had a particularly rough go of it over the past year. “Those agencies are under pressure and we want to give them the support they need,” she said. Marg Campbell, executive director of Delisle Youth Services, said United Way funding is vital to her agency’s success. Delisle receives roughly $400,000 annually from the United Way, with the funding allowing them to offer counselling, a group home, a day treatment program, arts programming, mental health support and other services for youth across the city. “For Delisle and the other agencies (at the launch) count on the United Way to support us and guide us in the work we do,” she said. “People need support in life and this helps us reach kids before they fall through the cracks.” For more information on United Way Toronto and its latest campaign, visit www.unitedwaytoronto.com
