Staff from Royal LePage Porritt Real Estate this month presented a cheque for $3,000 to
Ernestine’s Women’s Shelter – the first of two such presentations last week to distribute funds raised at May’s local National Garage Sale for Shelter events.
This year on Saturday, May 10, more than 100 Royal LePage offices across Canada hosted the fundraising garage sales, with each donating 100 per cent of the proceeds from those sales
to local shelters serving women and children who have experienced family violence. This year’s event marked Royal LePage Porritt’s first time >>>funds, page 16
It’s that bittersweet time of year. Summer is coming to a close, but the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is here to help you send off summer right. This year patrons can soak up the sights, sounds and smells they’ve always loved with a few new additions. If you’re a country guy or gal at heart then you’ll feel right at home in the new Northern Comfort Saloon. This venue boasts a raised stage where live performances from country artists such as Leah Daniels, Marshall Dane and the Boom Chucka Boys will take place. The large saloon also includes an indoor and outdoor seating area with plenty of space to test out your line dancing skills, post or pre-alcoholic beverage. Near the patio is a section for the brave souls who want to take the bull by the horns and climb aboard the mechanical bull. According to general manager of the CNE, David Bednar, this is the chance for Torontonians to “let out their inner cowboy >>>food, page 17

Former minor league hockey coach, war veteran turns 100 A.S. Kemp Scott celebrates his 100th birthday on Aug. 26. Kemp, a long time resident of Etobicoke, served in the Canadian army in the Second World War as a sergeant major in the artillery. Kemp, his first wife Maureen and

their newborn daughter are depicted on one of the historical Canada Post stamps illustrating veterans post-Second World War housing in a special series, ‘Housing in Canada’, designed and created by the graphic design company of one of his sons, Peter. Kemp received an honorary Gold Medal at the Canada Celebration ‘88 ceremonies as part of the promotion of the 1988 Calgary Olympics for his outstanding volunteer effort in coaching house league minor hockey with the Humber Valley Hockey Association. He was later inducted into the Etobicoke Citizens Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame in 1995 after coaching hockey for 32 years and being the Director of Sponsors for 16 years in HVHA. He and his first wife had three daughters. Following her early passing, Kemp married Carlette and they had three children and were together until she passed away at nearly 90 years of age. Kemp is now the patriarch of a family that has grown to 37 members, including six children, 11 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

Blowin’ the blues gets music man top harmonica title and new success in the industry Jerome Godboo has toured with Jeff Healey, Alannah Myles and jammed with The Tragically Hip TOM GODFREY etg@insidetoronto.com Etobicoke’s Jerome Godboo blows so much hot air that it helped him become the world’s top blues harmonica player. The bluesman has been dazzling fans with his harmonica playing for 25 years and says he is on the verge of “breaking out” after being crowned the world’s number one “harp” player. Godboo’s bluesy tunes led him to victory over “255 acts from 40 states, 16 countries and four continents” to win the Lee Oskar Best Harmonica Player Award last January at the 30th International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tenn. He has been nominated four times for Harmonica Player of the Year by the Toronto Blues Society; and his looks and style of performing is compared to that of rock greats as Mick Jagger, and the late Jim Morrison of The Doors. “My life changed the minute I won that award,” said Godboo, who was a frontman for The Phantoms, a top Toronto band in the 1980s. “Clubs and festivals that were not returning my calls, are suddenly calling and want me to perform.” The 52-year-old native of Victoria, B.C., who is known for his trademark Stetson and 15-harmonica pouch belt, has performed with some of the biggest names. Godboo has recorded and toured with fellow Etobicoke native, the late Jeff Healey; Alannah Myles, Dutch Mason, Ronnie Hawkins, Jack de Keyzer and Suzie McNeil, with whom he performed earlier this month at Lakeshore’s Mardi Gras Festival. He has jammed with Prince, Pinetop Perkins, Steve Lukather, James Cotton, The Tragically Hip,

Levon Helm, Billy Ray Cyrus and many others. The father of two, who has performed in hundreds of small towns, moved to south Etobicoke several months ago and loves being by the lake and the community. “I feel right at home here in Etobicoke,” he said. “I like the people and the area. Everyone has been great.” Godboo said the blues award means more recognition in the U.S., and performances at larger halls and festivals with headlining bands. “I did not realize that this award is like the Academy Awards of blues music,” he said. “We are now on the map and people are looking at what we do.” The recognition also has him
in the fast lane. So much so, that Godboo and his band, earlier this month performed at the Kitchener Blues Festival, where they received two standing ovations. Minutes after their show, band members packed into two cars for an eight-hour drive to Wheeling, West Virginia, for an appearance the next day at the Heritage Blues Festival. “We were on the road by 4 p.m. and we made it to Wheeling just after midnight,” Godboo recalled. “The people there were great and they treated us as stars.” He has recorded 14 albums, with the most recent being “Sanctuary City,” with drummer Gary Craig and guitarist Eric Schenkman, of the band Spin Doctors. “People in the blues circles now know who I am and they are taking notice,” Godboo said. “They know that I am here to stay.” next show He will be appearing at the Brogue Inn, in Mississauga, on Sept. 5.

What are candidates saying about building a better Toronto?
Write us
A
recent study by the University of Toronto says our city has a “major infrastructure funding shortfall” when it comes to financial support from other levels of government and its own property taxpayers. We have said before that when it comes to projects such as transit expansion, roads and public housing, Toronto residents will get the city they are willing to pay for. So far, based on the fourth-place finish we received from the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Livability Survey this week, it seems Toronto residents have been getting an excellent return for their relatively low investment. That’s especially true since Toronto property taxes are, on average, lower than those paid by residents of other Ontario cities, according to the U of T report, Is Toronto Fiscally Healthy? our view The report by the Institute for Municipal Finance and Decide what Governance at U of T’s Munk School of Global Affairs also said we are willing Toronto does not have a problem when it comes to spending of taxto pay for payers’ dollars. “Toronto does not face a fiscal crisis by any means,” the report said. Toronto’s challenge is bringing in more money to pay for needed infrastructure improvements. In responding to the report, city manager Joe Pennachetti pointed out there is not a lot of room left for cost-cutting in the city, but “we don’t have all the revenues to ensure we can grow a city that we all want.” Most concerning is the estimated $860-million repair backlog faced by Toronto Community Housing, Canada’s biggest landlord. The operation of public housing is fully funded in every province except Ontario. Also, the city still must cover the operating costs of the TTC to the tune of $250 million, funding that used to come from the province. As campaigning becomes more intense in this fall’s municipal election, candidates will be cherry-picking bits of the U of T report as either justification for their past actions or as a call for change. Both arguments will have some merit. This campaign, listen to candidates who can speak about the challenges the city faces, what kind of city we want to build, what are we willing to pay for and who should be paying.

Time for the Toronto Zoo to make its own decisions as it marks 40th year
T
he Toronto Zoo turned 40 on Friday, and the best present Toronto could give it is independence. City councillors proved it didn’t have that by sending the zoo’s elephants to a sanctuary, over the objections of keepers and the zoo’s management board. By the time the “ladies” arrived in California last October, after a tug-ofwar lasting years, the U.S. Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) had stripped the zoo of accreditation. Those elephants may be happier at the sanctuary; they’re certainly warmer, but the zoo’s prospects are damaged when it’s needed more than ever to breed endangered animals and protect them in the wild, and to teach people how to stop extinctions.
mike adler the city That’s work supported by both sides in the elephant battle, but one side, backed by most city councillors, made it harder for the zoo to reach its goals. Glenn De Baeremaeker, a councillor on the zoo board, says AZA is a “morally bankrupt” institution the zoo shouldn’t rejoin. That’s fine, until you consider animals the zoo has on loan to AZA zoos or is loaning from them, or conservation programs it works on with other AZA zoos. The longer it’s stuck with lower status, the harder dealing with AZA zoos gets, and it can’t get accredited until council agrees that, while the city owns the animals, the zoo decides
what’s done with them. Council also rejected the zoo’s proposal in 2012 to run itself through an independent body, as it did between 1974 and 1978. This time, the body would have “prominent corporate, community and business leaders,” and no council control. De Baeremaeker calls this “a fiasco,” but Gloria Lindsay Luby, a councillor and zoo board vice chairperson, hopes a report on zoo governance is heard next year by a different council that will “leave the zoo matters up to the zoo.” Lack of independence also hobbled the zoo’s fundraising. Its renewal plan in 2009 - $250 million over 10 years - was abandoned. Contrast that with the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Transformation AGO
funding drive; it met its $254-million goal five months early in 2008, then increased it to $276 million. This city stepped up for a place to house fine art. Why wouldn’t Torontonians do the same for the zoo, and the world’s animals? Our zoo is part of that mounting public infrastructure deficit mentioned in a University of Toronto report last week - only this isn’t chunks falling off the Gardiner Expressway, it’s a $15-million animal hospital the zoo needs but can’t afford; it’s work to save animals from human-caused extinction. It can’t happen unless the next city council unchains the zoo and trusts it to be on its own. Metroland Media Toronto reporter Mike Adler is on the city hall beat while David Nickle is on vacation.

Middle Road Bridge over Etobicoke Creek, built 1909 by Octavius Laing Hicks (second from left).
Octavius Hicks was a master bridge builder Humber Bay resident also built boats, a water merry-go-round and ran a brickyard
When Octavius Laing Hicks of Humber Bay died in 1930, he was honoured in an obituary in the Engineering Review as “the most active and widely known bridge c o n t r a c t o r. . . a r o u n d Toronto.” But this was just one of his many talents. Scottish-born Hicks settled in Humber Bay in 1873 where he purchased the Royal Oak Inn on Lake Shore Road west of the Humber. He built boats just west of his inn, specializing in fine yachts and small pleasure craft. In 1880, he patented a sliding seat for racing sculls that was used by Ned Hanlan, professional rower, hotelier and alderman, in some of his races. Hicks also founded a boat livery business on the Humber near its mouth, owned a commercial fishing fleet and ran a brickyard on The Queensway. He and two other local hoteliers formed the Humber Steam Ferry Company and their
denise harris history corner boat, Ailsa Craig, made four trips daily in summer to bring guests from Toronto to their hotels. In High Park, he invented a water merrygo-round called The Flotilla, later moved to the CNE. But Hicks is most lauded for his skill in building bridges. He lived in a time of great change in bridge technology, and he built the first one of nearly every new class of bridge. In 1905, his first commission was Musson’s Bridge on Albion Road over the Humber River, the first all-riveted steel bridge with a permanent floor. In Unionville in 1907, he built the first concrete through-beam bridge, followed in 1908 by the first concrete arch bridge in Canada over the Humber River on Scarlett Road. He then built new abutments for an electric railway over Mimico Creek using a new method he invented. This method was so successful that he was commissioned to build “sea walls” to stop shore erosion along Lake Ontario across
On the Middle Road Bridge, he used concrete trusses instead of steel wound members for the first time in Canada. Etobicoke. Above all, Hicks is remembered as the 1909 contractor for the Middle Road Bridge over Etobicoke C re e k , u s i n g c o n c re t e trusses instead of steel wound members for the first time in Canada. This is the only Hicks bridge that survives today. Protected by a heritage designation, it is jointly owned by Toronto and Mississauga. You can find the bridge at the west end of Sherway Drive, which runs west off The West Mall, just north of Evans Avenue. Twice widowed, Hicks died in 1930, leaving an estate of $47,000 to his four sons and one daughter. He is buried in Christ Church Mimico Cemetery on Royal York Road.

The Ice Bucket Challenge, where people from all over the world are dousing themselves with ice cold water, is making waves in Toronto. Rob Ford’s done it. Jimmy Kimmel’s done his own version of it. Premier Kathleen Wynne decided to donate money in lieu of it. Started by the Frates family in the U.S., this challenge is raising awareness for the ter-
minal disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, a disease that has no effective treatment or no cure. Canadians are making tremendous strides raising awareness for ALS. For anyone who wants to take on the Ice Bucket Challenge, he or she can make it count by donating
to ALS Canada online, or otherwise help further spread awareness of ALS by dumping a bucket of ice water on your head and sharing it online. The dollars raised will go toward helping families living with this disease and fund research.

The Gatehouse’s healing garden to help sexual abuse survivors; planting begins this weekend

P
AUSE. Pa y A t t e n t i o n to the Unveiling of Sacred Experiences. Arthur Lockhart coined the term as an encouragement to childhood sexual abuse survivors to reach out of their darkness and isolation toward the light. Lockhart founded The Gatehouse, a communityrenovated 1890s’ Victorian house on the Lake Shore envisioned 16 years ago to give childhood sexual abuse survivors, both children and adults, a safe place to tell their stories, reclaim their voices, heal their wounds and inspire them to reach their own potential. The Gatehouse’s unique “Out of the Darkness, Into the Light” group support programs for adult men and women, and partner support program, help dozens of adult sexual abuse survivors in need of emotional healing every year. The Gatehouse Healing Garden will further grow survivors’ emotional transformation. This Sunday, Gatehouse staff and community volunteers will plant the garden in an expansive greenspace on the west side of the property at 3101 Lake Shore Blvd. W., west of Kipling Avenue. A pathway will lead to the entrance of the healing garden in which survivors and community members could practise tai chi, meditation and quiet contemplation. A labyrinth, a meditative tool, invites a contempla-

tive walk. The Gatehouse Healing Garden is being created under a banner of social and environmental healing and transformation. Artifacts from agencies that provide services to survivors of sexual abuse in the United Kingdom, Ghana, Nigeria and the United States will be incorporated into the garden. “It’s about bringing people out of isolation,” Brad Hutchinson, manager of The Gatehouse, said Friday in an interview, seated on the edge of the garden as a summer breeze rustled the leaves of a majestic oak tree. “Childhood sexual abuse is a global issue. We’re bringing energy from all over the world that says, ‘We understand.’” Recently, SIFU Shiheng Tao, a Shaolin monk from China, led a Gatehouse survivor with a brain tumour through a meditation in the future garden space. “He has limited mobility in his arms. The meditation gave him more mobility,” said Hutchinson, a Shaolin kung fu instructor with Brampton-
based Beyond Kung Fu, who knows Tao. “Meditation is a really powerful way to tap into that healing energy.” Hutchinson dispelled the myth that kung fu is strictly a “powerful killing art” and traced the potentially healing intersection of kung fu, meditation and nature. “Every point of pressure
and harm is also a point of healing in the body,” he said. “We have this healing energy within us. We just need to tap into it. “Trees, grass and flowers are symbols of purity, honesty and beauty. Survivors of childhood sexual abuse have been deceived and manipulated. There is dis-
Hutchinson says the garden will be a great place for people to reconnect with themselves, their spirit and the community.
tance between their spirit and how they are in the world and in themselves. To go beyond the trauma, you start bringing beauty, truth and goodness up in them. The garden is a great place for people to connect with self, spirit and the community.” The Gatehouse Healing Garden also brings awareness to the issue of childhood sexual abuse. In Canada, it is widely reported that one in three girls and one in six boys experience an unwanted sexual act. The Gatehouse is an unique agency specializing in healing that trauma in both adult, and child, survivors. It is also a child-friendly location where investigating police officers and child support workers interview children, youth and families during sexual abuse investigations. “People can be healed and get to the other side,” Hutchinson said. “We see it at The Gatehouse. People are silent in their suffering. We help them heal. You don’t have to continue
with this secret inside. The only power this darkness has over you is to be kept hidden. When you look at it, it releases its power.” Through revisiting the trauma, survivors come to understand their defence and coping mechanisms, such as alcohol, drugs and workaholism, and reach instead for the healing light. “You come to understand subconscious behaviour. The inner child needs to be healed and paired with the adult. To do that, you go through the valley of darkness and get to the light. “The light has always been there,” Hutchinson said. Currently, Gatehouse staff is making stronger connections with area health-care providers. Developing an education program to train people in other Ontario communities how to create their own Gatehouse is also being investigated. “We get more and more people calling in,” Hutchinson said, some from as far as Thunder Bay, Ont. “It’s a service that is really needed. What we provide is really unique. There is a place for the clinical piece. What we provide is the peer-to-peer sharing. It helps bring them out of isolation and connect with other people. Hearing other people’s stories is a great tool to help them find the words to understand it and the language to express themselves.” Community members’ contributions to The Gatehouse and to its healing garden help survivors receive and heal. The Gatehouse is always seeking volunteers. Visit www.thegatehouse.org or call 416-255-5900.

Union Pearson Express trains arrive for testing in Toronto The first Union Pearson (UP) Express trains have arrived in Toronto for testing. Reaching a top speed of 145 kilometres per hour, Metrolinx says the new trains will be able to travel between Terminal One of Pearson International Airport to a new station located inside Union Station’s Skywalk in 25 minutes making two stops along the way at Weston and Bloor GO stations. Eighteen of the “clean diesel” trains have been ordered. The service launches next year. Express noise wall concerns wUP
While there is plenty of enthusiasm for UP’s debut, the service has also faced plenty of criticism. One contentious matter is a plan to erect 10 kilometres of concrete sound barriers, or “noise walls” which
rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT Metrolinx says is necessary to limit the noise and vibrations caused by future UP diesel train traffic traveling along the Georgetown South rail corridor. Opponents of the walls, including the Junction Triangle Rail Committee, say the walls are too high and will prevent future electrification of the corridor and Metrolinx failed to adequately consult with residents on the plan.. Construction of the walls, estimated to cost at least $20 million, was scheduled to start this week. planning contest awards wUrban
An urban planning contest for young city builders under the age of 30 has awarded a
$5,000 cash prize for a proposal to make Yonge Street more pedestrian-friendly. Richard Valenzona took home the 2014 NXT City Prize for his idea to turn Yonge, between Queen and College streets, into a pedestrian corridor. In addition to the cash, Valenzona gets access to “seed funding” of $10,000. Brownie award nominations sought The Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) is now accepting nominations for its annual Brownie awards (canurb.org) The awards showcase planning projects across the country re-developing brownfields lands, areas which were formerly used for industrial or commercial purposes.

The city will conduct further analysis through a consultant as part of a second phase of study to create a Site and Specific Area Policy to guide future development of the apartment neighbourhoods north of Humbertown Shopping Centre. E t o b i c o k e Yo r k Community Council voted almost unanimously at its Aug. 12 meeting to endorse city-hired planning consultant IBI Group’s recommendation to conduct further study in order to undertake a comprehensive review of the 15-hectare study area. Councillors voted in favour of Councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby’s motion and residents’ preference, which was against city planners’ position they could lead the review and develop the localized policy utilizing IBI’s report in the first phase of the study. Ward 3 Councillor Peter Leon moved Lindsay Luby’s motion in her absence. Ward 12 York SouthWeston Councillor Frank Di Giorgio did not support the motion “on principle,” he said. “It’s an insult to staff,” Di Giorgio said. “Sufficient work has been done by the consultant group for staff to pick up the ball and carry on.” The study area is an established residential neighbourhood of primarily three- and four-storey walkup apartment buildings on The Kingsway and adjacent to Humbertown. The highly contentious Humbertown Shopping Ce n t re re d e v e l o p m e n t application amid residents’ concerns over potential over-development in the low-density Humber Valley
“
It will define the scope, height, density, urban design, traffic, infrastructure and rental housing. With rush-hour traffic headed south on Royal York Road, I think residents of Ward 5 should also be allowed to participate in discussions around the need for a traffic strudy. – Resident Jeremy Skinner in support of council’s decision
Village area, triggered the study. Residents united to object to the “too big, too tall, too dense” proposal, which originally called for five condo towers of 11 to 21 storeys. Fierce opposition led to a prolonged battle against the proposal at council, and a subsequent Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) appeal. In December, a negotiated settlement agreed to three residential towers of eight to 12 storeys. Jeremy Skinner, a member of the Humber Valley Village Residents’ Association, spoke in favour of the option councillors approved. “It will define the scope, h e i g h t , d e n s i t y, u r b a n design, traffic, infrastructure and rental housing,” the Pinehurst Crescent man said. “With rush-hour traffic headed south on Royal York Road, I think residents of Ward 5 should also be allowed to participate in discussions around the need for a traffic study.” Da v i d Wi l l i a m s o n , a
member of the working group who lives on Helston Place, called IBI’s report a “fair, unbiased, excellent reporting of the issues and possible outcomes.” Williamson also supported the city hiring a consultant to continue Phase 2 of the study. He called for guidelines the study will develop to incorporate a bylaw similar to the Dundas West Avenue Study. In 2007, Toronto council approved the $200,000 Dundas West Avenue Study, which sets strict height limits of five storeys on Dundas Street West on the eastern border of Etobicoke; six storeys if the developer funds community development. Last year, E lia Corp. proposed to replace five existing 3.5 storey rental buildings at 1, 3, 5 and 7 Stevens Crt. and 289 and 291 The Kingsway with six new apartment buildings ranging from four to 16 storeys with 603 units, and retention of the 17-storey, 73-unit rental building at 289 The Kingsway. Last November, community council directed that community consultations for Elia Corp.’s plans not proceed until the Humbertown study is complete. Technically, Elia Corp. is in a legal position to appeal to the OMB since its redevelopment proposal was submitted before community council ordered the study. A consultant’s report back to Etobicoke York Community Council on the results of the second phase of work is expected by the third quarter of 2015, city planners indicated in a July 24 report. ~ files from Cynthia Reason

Two teens have been charged following an armed carjacking in the Finch and Islington avenues area Monday evening. Police allege two males came up to a man on his driveway, cornered him up against his car and demanded his car keys. One suspect allegedly pointed to his firearm while the other violently grabbed the victim’s hand and took the car keys. The victim was then pis-
tol-whipped, and his car was stolen. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police followed the car to Black Creek Drive, just south of Lawrence Avenue, where it stopped due to traffic. “The officers safely arrested both the driver and passenger of the stolen vehicle and retrieved a fully loaded handgun, which had one round in the chamber,” police alleged

Food safety a major priority: CNE manager >>>from page 1 and cowgirl.” “I’m looking forward to having some country fun in the City of Toronto,” said Bednar, who originally hails from Texas. In honour of the upcoming Toronto mayoral election, a light political element was also added to the CNE with the CanStruction of Mayoral Candidates. The top three candidates, made of 10,000 cans of food with 6-foot by 6-foot dimensions, will be on display. CNE favourites such as the
Zip Line, Sky Ride and the Air Show will be there to delight visitors, who can also expect the return of the Superdogs Show, the Sand Sculpting competition and of course the 64 different midway rides for thrill-seekers. Coming to the stage for Bandshell Concerts is a spectrum of artists from Down with Webster to Tim Hicks to Hanson. Last year 1.3 million visitors visited Exhibition Grounds, even with the infamous cronut burger incident that made more than 220 patrons
ill, but Bednar is confident this year every vendor is up to code. “Food safety has always been, and will always be, a priority at the CNE,” said Bednar. “We’ve reviewed our routines with Toronto Public Health and I’m here to tell you that it is still the safest place in the city of Toronto to eat a meal, especially those indulgent foods.” This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Toronto Star Food Building and with 117 different vendors there’s
something for everyone. Food lovers are in for a treat this year with a handful of new food combinations. Patrons can get a piece of cocoa-infused deep fried chicken from Coco’s Fried Chicken, where chocolate is incorporated into the batter and served with a side of chocolate ketchup. “We wanted something to wow the crowds...there’s a lot of time and labour that goes into creating this,” Hamza Alexander, chef of Coco’s Fried Chicken. The crowbar, a play off of
the cronut minus the illness, is made by Hula Girl Espresso and offers Caramilk, Kit-Kat, Mars Bar or Reeses Pieces chocolate bars baked into a buttery croissant. To wash it all down Hula Girl Espresso also offers butter coffee. “We were baking one day and thought, what can we do that will be really special, still create a buzz and still maintain some great flavours?” said Elias Vastis, owner of Hula Girl Espresso.

Home buyers weigh in on ‘urban vs suburban’ The proverbial debate of ‘city versus the suburbs’ is in the forefront for many home buyers. It’s also an exploration that can lead to decisions about the type of home you will ultimately buy. Here are some key considerations:
Condos Deliver Choice From the post-war era to the early 1980s, the detached home was the leading choice for homeowners across the country. Then came the so-called ‘condo boom,’ which was largely fuelled by lifestyle changes and efforts to curb urban sprawl. The availability of condominiums as a form of home ownership has resulted in new options for those looking to live closer to the downtown core in urban centres. Census figures for 2011, released in February 2012, showed that multi-unit dwellings, a category that includes condominiums, makes up roughly half of all new housing stock, truncating the lead traditionally held by detached homes. Home buyers are continuing to flock to urban centres as a whole, choosing to live both in the core and the outlying suburbs in both detached homes and condos. While today, there is an abundance of home-types in both the core and the suburbs, still the place where you choose to live usually comes down to two considerations: the number and age of those who will occupy the home, plus the lifestyle choices of

the occupants.
Easy Commute vs. Room to Grow The decision of urban versus suburban is often focused on the time saved in commuting compared to the benefits of space to grow with a young family. While urban dwellers can benefit from shorter distances to work and the luxury of walking to cultural attractions and restaurants, on the flip side, many families genuinely prefer living outside the city core. As suburban communities continue to grow, walks to local amenities such as coffee shops or bakeries become feasible, as does working close to home with many businesses now basing their locations in the suburbs. Baby boomers were expected to downsize in droves from their large suburban homes over the past decade. That largely hasn’t happened, for a couple of reasons. Young adults are leaving the nest later, compared to the postwar period when people in their late teens and 20s were inclined to strike out on their own. Economic challenges for today’s ‘echo’ boomers are causing baby boomer parents to hang onto their larger homes in the suburbs longer and to shrug off the expected move to downsize closer to the core. Also, baby boomers are the wealthiest generation in Canadian history. They live in large homes with ample space for their many possessions. They love their garages and their yards.

Financial Considerations The choice of urban versus suburban is a very personal one, and there are definitely benefits for each. Attentive agents will advise clients making such decisions to look beyond lifestyle and commuting. They need to work out detailed budgets to consider the
costs and savings of both alternatives. For example, although a detached home in the suburbs could be less expensive than a similar home in the core, a close examination of commuting costs and property taxes can be the deciding factors for many people.

Make e-cigarettes part of public smoking ban: Board of Health MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Holding an e-cigarette, Rachel Steen asked Toronto’s Board of Health to reject “fearmongering” about a product she said keeps her from smoking. “Don’t take my life away. I need access,” Steen said at city hall Monday before the board decided to call on the province to add electronic
cigarettes to its public smoking bans across Ontario. “If I don’t have this, I will smoke.” Later, Steen said the quit-or-die message doesn’t work for many smokers, and e-cigarettes let people keep their nicotine habit without killing them. Toronto’s medical officer of health, however, said the full health effects of e-cigarettes – a battery-operated and still-
evolving “nicotine-delivery system” – are unknown. “This is a remarkably unregulated product that can be bought by children,” Dr. David McKeown told the board. Vaping, as the vapourproducing use of e-cigarettes is called, doesn’t come under provincial laws on smoking, and “could run the risk of re-normalizing smoking behaviour, particularly with FREE TO ALLBEGINNER B ALL NE (Ages 3 W STUDENT ET FOR TH S Yrs Old E 2014 ) /2015

youth,” he said. McKeown said fruit and candy flavours sold for e-cigarettes appeal to youth, adding though the device is praised as an anti-smoking aid, it’s not approved as one by Health Canada. Monday’s unanimous endorsement of having the province prohibit e-cigarette use wherever smoking is prohibited, ban sales to minors and remove e-cigarette displays in stores will lead to a follow-up report in February. If the province doesn’t act by then, the city should, McKeown said. Steven Moreau, CEO and co-founder of e-cigarette maker e-Stream Canada, said treating his product the same as cigarettes is like comparing Pepsi to Labatt Blue. Boris Giller, representing 180 Smoke, said it’s “ageist to assume adults don’t enjoy fruity flavours,” and argued there’s zero evidence to support the “fallacy” e-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking.

Centre for Addiction and Mental Health told the board vaping can be a trigger to resume smoking, and since CAMH included e-cigarette use in its smoking ban. McKeown said none of the measures the board supported – including having the federal government regulate maximum nicotine dosages in e-cigarettes and have them sold in child-proof bottles – will stop their use by people who want to stop smoking. Pa rk d a l e - Hi g h Pa rk Councillor Gord Perks said
he believes in the principle of harm reduction when it comes to addictive substances, but the e-cigarette industry “doesn’t want to play by the rules.” E-cigarettes are either a consumer product, like coffee, or they’re a drug, and the industry wants them classified as neither, said Perks, arguing the restrictions backed by the board are reasonable but don’t go far enough.

West-end councillors vote to relocate driveway at Bloor Street condo
Change to plan could forestall fight at OMB TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Relocating a proposed eight-storey condominium’s driveway from The Kingsway onto Bloor Street West could prevent an Ontario Municipal Board battle between a developer and the city. Etobicoke York Community Council voted unanimously at its Aug. 12 meeting in support of area Councillor James Maloney’s motion to approve the developer-requested bylaw amendment, subject to revisions to incorporate driveway access off Bloor Street West. The motion approved demolition of the existing 10-unit rental apartment building. It further required the owner to provide no fewer than three rental replacement units of approximately 867-square-feet each for at least 20 years. The motion also stated the owner, NDI (2800 Bloor Street West) Inc., would provide $50,000 for local improvements and $20,000 for the City of Toronto Affordable Housing Fund. In May, NDI appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board citing council’s failure to make a decision within the time prescribed by the Planning Act. Last month, NDI submitted to the city a revised concept to reduce the condo from nine to eight storeys, and from 44 to 41 units, three of which would be rental replacement units. Rental replacement units is the only “outstanding issue” between NDI and city planners, Shelly Tuloch, an urban planner with Goodmans LLP, which represents NDI, told councillors. Etobicoke-Lakeshore Councillor Mark Grimes commented the previous proposal by another developer to build a seniors’ rental building at 2800 Bloor St. W. had a sitespecific policy requiring 10 rental replacement units.
“
I’m not antidevelopment. I’ve lived in this neighbourhood since I was 12 years old. I’m particularly sympathetic to the area of this building because when I’m going east along Bloor Street, I often use your street to access The Old Mill. – Councillor James Maloney
Tuloch replied “a minimum of three rentals” is required in the redevelopment of any redevelopment site. In October 2009, city planners recommended refusal of a revised application by thenowner Foram (Kingsway) Inc. to replace the rental building with a seven-storey seniors’ retirement building, and to reduce the rental replacement units from 10 to three, an Aug. 1 city planning report indicates. In early December 2009, Toronto City Council approved Foram’s applications, including the three rental replacement units. In June 2013, new owner NDI submitted a proposal to the city for a nine-storey, 44-unit condo with three rental replacement units. Maloney then asked Tuloch if NDI would be prepared to reduce the three rental replacement units in exchange for a voluntary payment. Tuloch said yes. “ We w o u l d c o n s i d e r $250,000 reasonable,” Tuloch replied. “That would be $50,000 toward a park, and $200,000 toward affordable housing.” The suggestion caused a stir in council chambers. Dr. Edna Becker spoke on behalf of Kingscourt residents. “We are in support of the (city) staff report, but we also oppose demolition of the
rental housing,” Becker told councillors. “The proposed driveway on The Kingsway is of primary concern as drivers will use Kingscourt.” Maloney asked Becker if moving the condo’s driveway to Bloor Street West would satisfy Kingscourt residents. Becker said it would, “but it would not address density, the loss of parkland, the loss of trees.” Carole Goyette, a Mimico Lakeshore Network member and LAMP Community Health Centre planner, said those organizations oppose any settlement whereby the owner would pay cash-in-lieu to the city instead of providing three rental replacement units in their condo. “They’re willing to pay cash-in-lieu for these rental units, yet these people seem to want the rental units,” Maloney said after Goyette’s comment. Maloney’s motion maintained the three-unit rental replacement provision. It was Maloney’s first, and last, community council meeting. “I’m the rookie,” Maloney, a lawyer, told residents, many from Kingscourt Drive. “I only got this project late in the day. I took this job because I wanted to represent residents. “I’m not anti-development. I’ve lived in this neighbourhood since I was 12 years old. I’m particularly sympathetic to the area of this building because when I’m going east along Bloor Street, I often use your street to access The Old Mill.” Toronto City Council appointed Maloney councillor for Ward 5 EtobicokeLakeshore on July 7 after veteran area councillor Peter Milczyn won the EtobicokeLakeshore riding for the Liberals during the recent provincial election. The matter will go before Toronto City Council on Aug. 25 for a final decision.

Wireless Internet in TTC stations to pick up, says BAI Canada RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com
throughout the entire TTC underground network, is promising the completion of the entire Yonge line “Lower Loop” by spring of 2015, a list which also includes heavilytrafficked Union, King and Queen stations. The company has pledged to have every TTC station completed by 2017, and real progress is possible now that the “background” work of
The pace of installation of wireless Internet service in TTC stations is set to receive a major boost, promises the company responsible for carrying out the work. BAI Canada, which was contracted by the TTC to complete implementation of the TConnect Wi-Fi service
cable installations is out of the way, said BAI Canada CEO Ken Ranger, who compared the work’s progress to the construction of a skyscraper. It seems like there’s a hole in the ground forever, and then all of a sudden it comes up real fast,” said Ranger this week. “We were literally installing kilometres of data and fibre-optic cables.” BAI won the 20-year con-
tract back in December 2012 – after showing initial interest in 2009 – from the TTC to construct a wireless network at a cost of $25 million to the company free for use by riders and supported through advertising revenue. Over the first year of the contract, progress on the installation appeared slow as the company dealt with logistical issues with the con-
struction and placement of the infrastructure needed for the wireless network as well as for future cellular service. But with heavy-traffic stations like Bloor-Yonge and St. George already connected, Ranger said implementing WiFi throughout the rest of the network will be much easier. “Pumping that kind of traffic at those stations was more
of a logistical challenge than anything we’ll do from here going forward,” he said. He estimated there have been 60,000 log-ons to TConnect per week, with two million in total since the service first became available late last year at Bloor-Yonge, St. George and Bay Station.

LEANDER SKOF Saturday, August 23, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Exceeding Expectations For Over 90 Years
Committee proposes election signs on display for 14 days only MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Election candidates in Toronto should have just two weeks to put up their campaign signs, councillors on a city committee decided Monday. The proposed reduction from 28 days would apply to the city’s campaign period this October, and would also affect provincial and federal candidates running in Toronto ridings. City staff had proposed making the campaign signs legal for 21 days, but members of the Licensing and Standards Committee opted for 14 instead. “I think it’s 14 days too many,” added Glenn D e B a e r e m a e k e r, a Scarborough councillor who argued such signs are an outdated technology and “just pollution.” Removing and storing campaign signs placed illegally uses the equivalent of 30 full-time city workers and costs about $207,000 over four weeks, the committee was told. Candidates in past elections have paid a refundable $250 fee if they wanted to put up signs, and the committee voted to replace this with a $125 flat fee, this one non-refundable. If all the 409 municipal candidates registered – 65 running for mayor, 250 for councillor and 94 for trustee – paid the fee, this would raise $51,000 for the city. Those who don’t pay would be charged $125 if they posted a sign, which was removed. Candidates would also pay an additional $25 for each sign removed, under this proposal, either before Oct. 13 or after 9 p.m. Oct. 30, three days beyond this fall’s vote. De Baeremaeker and fellow committee member
Ron Moeser said they’d ban campaign signs outright if they could. “ What purpose do they serve other than consuming precious natural resources?” said De Baeremaeker. The committee heard, from people, including some candidates, who thought its decision was wrong and self-serving. Any election sign bylaw is an infringement on freedom of expression, said Alan Kasperski, representing the Green Party of Toronto. The city should shorten its election period, which is too long, but it shouldn’t give incumbents an advantage by shortening the time in which opponents can put up signs, Kasperski said. unfair Annette Hutcheon, running for council in Etobicoke’s Ward 3, said there should be no restrictions on posting signs during the campaign. Candidates who put up signs will suffer if residents decide there is too much “visual pollution” – but that should be up to the residents, said Hutcheon. Mary Hynes, seeking the council seat in Ward 34, said present rules on campaign signs are hard to interpret, but introducing new rules so close to an election is unfair. The committee’s proposals don’t make major changes to r ules on where election signs can go, but clarify such signs cannot block sightlines for pedestrians, motorists or cyclists. Opinion was split on whether the shortened sign period will pass at a city council meeting this week.
