Nearly 200 voices to unite in song Annual Out of the Cold Concert supports needy men, women and children TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Their tender voices could harken angels as Lullaby rises in Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church’s basement. At a recent rehearsal, soprano and Our Lady of Sorrows’ choir director Michele DeBoer encouraged the 50 or so young

choristers ages six to 13 as she conducted; the grander the conducting gesture, the louder their voices, she explained. “That’s fantastic. That’s just about ready to perform, I think.” The children rehearsed for The Kingsway’s traditional kickoff to the holiday season — The 14th Annual Carolling in The Kingsway Out of the Cold

Concert. Nearly 200 voices from 11 choirs will rise in reverence and celebration, accompanied by strings, a brass quartet and an organist, in support of All Saints’ Kingsway Anglican Church’s Out of the Cold program. Out of the Cold feeds more than 100 men, women and children every Friday night from November to April, and provides

20 homeless men dinner, access to shower and laundry facilities, a safe, warm night’s sleep, a hot breakfast, a packed lunch, a TTC token and new undergarments each week. “The children are talking about the importance of the outreach to the community,” said Karen Sexton, choir director of Kingsway Children’s Choir, >>>it’s, page 15

Six Points project likely to yield grocery store: Milczyn

Santa and frien

PEEK-A-BOO: Shhhh, Oliver says as he peeks around Santa’s chair, above, during his visit to C l o v e r d a l e M a l l S a t u r d a y. Hundreds of children were entertained by Frozen’s Elsa, volunteer Ronan (playing a Sven, the reindeer), Kristoff and Anna while waiting for Santa to make his appearance.

Former veteran Etobicoke-Lakeshore councillor Peter Milczyn said he is “confident” at least one longawaited, desperately needed grocery store will be borne of the $40-million Six Points interchange reconfiguration. Roadwork currently underway will replace the existing KiplingBloor-Dundas interchange with three major at-grade intersections, each with a traffic light. Dundas Street West will turn slightly east so it is parallel to Bloor Street West, west of Kipling Avenue. East of Kipling, Dundas will turn north and connect to Bloor at the existing intersection of Bloor and Dunbloor Road. Construction will be phased over three to four years. Now the area’s Liberal MPP, Milczyn said the confluence of the Kipling-Bloor-Dundas interchange’s recently begun road reconstruction and major grocery chains’ new business models strike the right chord to spur development. “The land is available. The challenge has been the grocery chains,” Milczyn said in an interview. “Now grocery chains are looking to go back to doing smaller stores and to be in the middle of communities. We’re there now. A few years ago, we weren’t.” For the past decade, grocery chain officials repeatedly expressed little interest in locating a store on the street level in one of the area’s proliferation of condominium developments, citing inadequate available

square footage. Locally, the interchange is known as “spaghetti junction” for its decades-old network of road interchanges connected with ramps. “Just getting the roads in place will really transform the area,” Milczyn said. “People who live east and west of Kipling can start to walk across it. People north of Dundas can walk down to the subway. It will be a dramatic difference.” The roadwork will also open up all the vacant city lands, Milczyn said. The city is reconfiguring the Six Points interchange with the intention it will foster development of the

Etobicoke Centre area with higher quality public space that could also attract business and commercial operations. YMCA of Greater Toronto and city officials have agreed on terms for the “Y” to build a new facility on the former Westwood Theatre lands. City plans call for a park adjacent to the future YMCA. Milczyn has long-favoured mixed use development, not condominiums, on the city-owned former Westwood lands. “‘Mixed use’ means you have got to get the ‘mix’ in – office development, a grocery store, other retailers, maybe a movie theatre,” he said.

oronto’s new council begins its work on Dec. 2 with the inauguration of councillors and our new mayor, John Tory. There’s optimism the next four years are going to focus on the needs of the city rather than the circus that was the final two years of Mayor Rob Ford’s administration. Let’s hope so. We’re going to be pushing the mayor and councillors to identify their priorities for this term and to achieve results. In today’s edition you can see where Toronto’s longest-serving councillor (Maria Augimeri, first elected in 1985) and one of our rookie councillors (Stephen Holyday) think council’s our view focus should be. Earlier this month, we also laid out what we think Tory’s Council needs top priorities should be. You to speak with can read that story at http://bit. ly/1uUjUNs one voice A number of the same issues kept popping up for Tory, Augimeri and Holyday. Transportation, with both public transit and traffic on our roads, and working together as one cohesive council topped the lists. On the traffic/gridlock file, both Augimeri and Holyday suggest looking into better traffic signal coordination to keep cars moving. While far from the only solution to our jammed roadways and ridiculously long commutes, it’s a start well worth looking into. Augimeri, who was chair of the TTC at the end of council’s last term, pulled no punches when evaluating our public transit system. “We are a banana republic,” she called Toronto when it comes to updating and expanding public transit. Harsh words, but given the past decade of political football between LRTs and subways, bike lanes and the “war on the car,” it’s hard to disagree with her. Tory and council’s challenge on this one is to speak with one voice on the public transit improvements Toronto needs, and then get the provincial and federal governments on board as quickly as possible. Doing that also ties into the need for council and the mayor to work together. It’s one of the priorities we identified for Tory, and it will be the biggest test of his leadership. He is not alone in making that happen, though, as voters are expecting councillors to work together this term. We’ll be watching to make sure they do.

Don Cherry not expected at first meeting of Toronto’s new council I n just a few days, the wait will be over and Toronto council will get going on its new agenda. Well, it will get going on that agenda soon enough. First off, there will be celebration, as the newly elected council and mayor join friends, family and senior city bureaucrats to ring in the new term in style, at the inaugural meeting. There will also be some music – if past experience is any indication, a bagpiper or two will be involved – and some speeches. One thing there probably won’t be this time out is Don Cherry, decked out in a hot pink suit-jacket with a Rob-Ford-sized chip on his shoulder, hollering at “pinkos” who he insisted were no longer in charge. That was how it went

david nickle the city

at the 2010 inauguration, as you almost certainly remember: Cherry railing, Ford grinning, almost everyone else gasping at the audacity of it. The only thing missing from that Animal House inaugural was a keg of cheap beer and John Belushi spraying mashed potatoes over the front row of dignitaries. You’re not likely to see that particular show repeated in John Tory’s inaugural. Given all the evidence, that’s far more likely to have more the flavour of a Omega Theta Pi mixer than a Delta Tau Chi toga party. Which is to say the show will be a pleasant, but rather dull introduction to the mayor that

Torontonians believed they elected: avuncular, cordial and managerial, with a mission to keep council meetings calm and services as they are. A just-so mayor. By the time that meeting happens, we will all hopefully have a somewhat clearer idea of how that’s going to go. As of Nov. 25, when this column went to press, Tory and his transition team still had not determined who would fill out the inner circle of his executive committee, or stand at his side as deputy mayor, or as the mayor’s pick for high-profile jobs like the chair of the Toronto Transit Commission. There was not even any indication as to what the mayor might make a priority at his first council meeting. It would make

sense for him to bring his SmartTrack plan to council early for at least a set of report requests, Tory has been mum on his plans other than to say that he wants something to happen to relieve congestion by early 2015. Toward that end, last week Tory came out with a bizarre pseudo-endorsement of the Uber ridesharing app and a qualified endorsement of a city-staffdriven plan to squeeze a few feet from the width of motor vehicle lanes across the city. But generally, the new mayor is playing his cards close to the vest. The pinkos, at least for now, remain on their toes.

Etobicoke-Lakeshore MPP Peter Milczyn’s “bold and farreaching” private member’s bill to amend the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act passed second reading in the Ontario legislature last week. Milczyn’s Bill 39, the P l a n n i n g St a t u t e L a w Amendment Act, would ensure local municipalities have the final word on many planning matters, and that the scope of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) to overturn municipal planning decisions is “circumscribed”. “These measures will restore the public’s confidence in the planning system, restore accountability to elected officials and potentially save municipalities significant resources that are expended on preparing for and defending against numerous appeals,” Milczyn said in the legislature. Bill 39 passed second reading Nov. 20 by a vote of 34-7, endorsed by the Liberals and NDP and rejected by the Conservatives. It will go before the legislature’s standing committee on general government next spring. The bill contains amendments to existing legislation that would address three broad themes. It aims to restore more decision-making on planning matters back to local governments while balancing the need to maintain a mechanism to appeal poor decisions to the OMB. The OMB is a politically appointed, quasi-judicial board with the power to overrule municipal governments’ planning decisions in favour of developers, property owners and residents. The bill would modernize

certain aspects of the Planning Act, such as freezing approved Official Plan amendments and zoning bylaws for five years. It also includes some specific amendments to the City of Toronto Act. Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Ted McMeekin is currently conducting a review, and is likely to bring forward legislation next year to reform the provincial Planning Act. Milczyn said his bill would “kick off” that process. “It will start debate and discussion and put a concrete proposal on the table that is well thought out that Toronto and other municipalities would like to see coming into place,” Milczyn said in an interview. Last year, Milczyn led Toronto’s process to develop a response to the Ontario government’s consultation on Planning Act reforms as chair of Toronto’s planning growth management committee. Milczyn sat on the city committee for 14 years. Toronto City Council unanimously endorsed a series of positions upon which his bill was built, Milczyn said. Toronto’s Chief Planner Jennifer Keesmaat and Kerri Voumvakis, the city’s director of strategic initiatives, policy and analysis, assisted in forming positions that held common ground with other municipalities, Milczyn said in his remarks to the House. Under the bill, municipally initiated Official Plan Amendments, and zoning bylaws that implement them, and approved site-specific zoning bylaws, once passed, would no longer be subject to appeal to the OMB for a period of five years. “Often, you get a Secondary Plan or (site-specific) plan that goes through a big public process to approve it, and six months later the developer

wants to change it,” Milczyn said. “Developers could no longer try to reopen it. If a city says no, then no means no.” It would require the minister on municipal affairs to pass regulations to define the widely, and often controversially, interpreted “minor variance” to a bylaw. Property owners and developers regularly seek a minor variance from the requirements of a zoning bylaw in their development applications to an appointed local Committee of Adjustment. “There are four tests of minor variance under the Planning Act, and three of the four tests are subjective and vague,” Milczyn said. “Interpretation of minor variance should be done by regulation. The idea is it would cap the percentage of variance from the bylaw. That’s long overdue.” The bill would also give municipalities more tools to manage the impacts of growth and development. It would give municipalities the right to expect “excellence in design” in development, encourage a sense of place and provide for public spaces that are “high quality, safe, accessible, attractive and vibrant.” The bill would grant municipalities the power to address a chronic shortage of affordable housing by requiring developments with 20 or more new housing units to provide a portion that is affordable, whether that is affordable housing, ownership, rental or not-for-profit, Milczyn said. The bill would also lengthen the time to file an appeal to the OMB. Milczyn stressed none of the measures would abolish the OMB or the ability for property owners to appeal applications or decisions.

Enjoy a Delmanor retirement in the heart of the Kingsway There’s nothing quite like the majesty of living in traditional Etobicoke. For centuries Etobicoke has offered its residents a heritage rich in the natural surroundings of waterways, woodlands and parks. That’s why Tridel knew they had to deliver more at Dundas and Prince Edward. Situated in a ravine setting overlooking the meandering Humber River, Delmanor Prince Edward provides vistas that vary from the serenity of the adjacent valley to the resplendency of the downtown skyline. The moment you experience the gracious lobby you’ll discover the essence and grandeur that is traditional, old Etobicoke. Soaring ceilings, cornice mouldings, wall sconces throughout the common areas and hallways epitomize the elegance of the superior retirement you’ve worked hard to achieve. Your personal suite has been designed to provide a waiting palette for your treasured furniture and keepsakes. Set your mind at ease with the comfort you deserve: balconies, granite counter-tops, full size refrigerator, ensuite washers and dryers and a personal safe. Every suite is bathed in light from the ample windows while an individual thermostat allows for your personal level of comfort year round.

416-233-0725 if you’d like an immediate answer to your questions.

Supporters of Reach for the Rainbow (RFTR) answered the call to “Come Together” at this year’s Beatles-themed Crystal Ball gala – raising close to $1 million for the Etobicokebased charity’s integrated programs for children and youth with disabilities. The 28th annual event, held Nov. 8 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, garnered overwhelming support from sponsors like Jaguar Land Rover Canada, TELUS, UPS, Scotiabank, Capital One and Tech Data. More than 1,100 guests – including Hilary Farr of HGTV’s Love It or List It, Miss Universe Canada Chanel Beckenlehner and Global Toronto’s Susan Hay, RFTR’s official spokesperson – spent

The children’s choir rehearses for the Out of the Cold Concert, which take place Saturday, Nov. 29.

Kinder-Gym 3 year olds 4 & 5 year olds

‘It’s about creating goodwill’ >>>from page 1 Conservatory of Music, during rehearsal last Thursday night. “These children are all very fortunate. But they know some others aren’t. For them to be part of such a huge undertaking, they’re excited. They talk about it being a neat thing to do. The concert is absolutely breathtaking. “We’re very happy about it,” said Claudia Thoermer, whose son, Felix, 8, is participating. “We just moved here. It’s important to be part of the community.” This year, the popular concert of soaring song, majestic music and vocally rich readings by 96.3FM radio personality Michael Kramer takes place Saturday, Nov. 29 at 1:30 p.m. at Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church, 3055 Bloor St. W., one block west of Royal York Road. Plan to arrive by 11:30 a.m. to get a seat. Donations are strongly encouraged. Envelope donations of $20 or more receive a tax receipt in February. The Out of the Cold concert was borne of a synchronicity between Mel Hurst, former director of music and organist at Humbercrest United Church, who conceived the idea of uniting area church choirs in song to help the homeless, and that of Kingsway Business

Improvement Area (BIA) merchants who wanted to raise their voices in celebration of the Christmas season. Hurst co-ordinated the annual benefit concert for many years. “It made us realize as businesses, there is more to Christmas than gifts under the tree and jingles on the radio. It’s a celebration of cultures, of traditions,” said Cathy Beaulieu, Kingsway BIA chair. The Kingsway Business Improvement Area (BIA) sponsors the annual concert to enable “every penny” of donations to go directly to All Saints’ Out of the Cold program. “It’s about creating goodwill, a safe place where people feel good,” Beaulieu said of the concert. “It’s a time of year we celebrate comfort and joy and help those less fortunate than us. What you give comes back to you when you give without expectation of receiving.” In fact, the concert’s proceeds comprise a “significant component” of the program’s annual operating budget, reported Ralph Walton, co-ordinator of All Saints’ Kingsway Anglican Church’s Out of the Cold program. “It’s just an incredible experience. It’s absolutely stunning to sit there. The music fills the church,” Walton said. The need is great. It has

grown exponentially since the volunteer-run program opened in 1996. In the early years, it provided beds, food and support for 20 homeless men each week. Today, it feeds an additional 70 to 90 men, women and children every Friday night from November to April. Last year, it averaged 107 guests a week. Only men stay overnight. “Folks who come in for a meal may be marginally housed, may have housing but can’t make ends meet without accessing meals. A lot have mental health issues or addiction,” Walton said. This year, the music directors of three of the participating church choirs designed and will lead the concert program: Kingsway-Lambton United Church’s Anne Marie Page, Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church’s Gordon Mansell and Royal York United Church’s Douglas Brownlee. “Every year, the concert seems to get bigger and bigger. It’s certainly bigger than Out of the Cold and bigger than the BIA,” Walton said. “It’s just an incredible experience. It’s the kickoff for the (holiday) season. People start calling in September to ask when it’s going to be.”

CCAC can assist in coordinating care for seniors during the holidays With the Holiday season in full swing, many of us are in planning mode. Whether it’s making preparations for outof-town visitors, meal-planning for a celebratory feast or making a list and checking it twice, it’s a busy time of the year. Those of us who may wish to leave the chaos behind and take a tropical vacation over the holiday break are likely counting down the days to rest and relaxation. Others are looking forward to the seasonal festivities as well as some well-earned down time with family and friends. During this time of the year, it’s easy for many of us to forget that there are many in our community who may not have the family or social circles that much of the population enjoys. This is particularly the case for seniors, many of who may have lost a spouse, or who may be living alone at home, in a senior’s residence or a long-term care facility. It’s been a well-known fact that the holiday season, while festive for many, can trigger

feelings of depression, and this is often acutely the case with the elderly. Without some of the personal supports that many of us take for granted, this time of year can seem bleak. The holiday season is a good time to take stock of our lives and to reach out and help those who may need support. If you have a senior friend, neighbor or loved one, this time of year provides an opportunity to provide a helping hand. The Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) provides a variety of supports and resources for seniors. Following are some suggested activities from the CCAC to help the elderly during this time of year. 1) Check-In: Often, a simple phone call or visit to an elderly neighbours or loved one can make the difference in their mood. It will also provide them with the knowledge that they are cared for and are important to those around them. 2) Community Resources: Does your elderly loved one know about some of the community resources available to them? Whether it’s a day program or seniors group, these types of options are appreciated by those who may be alone

during this time of year. By visiting www.TorontoCentralHealthline.ca, friends and family members of seniors can find local, specific information about various community supports that are of interest to seniors. 3) Referral For Support: At any given time, anyone can make a referral on behalf of another to the CCAC. Whether you’re a friend, family member or neighbour and are concerned about an elderly person in your life, you can call (416) 506-9888 for help and guidance. Referrals can also be made anonymously on behalf of someone in need of help as well. 4) Respite Care: If you choose to go away during the holiday season and are concerned about an elderly loved one or friend, the Toronto Central CCAC can assist with coordinating the details of shortterm respite care. Because it’s a busy time of the year, bookings fill up quickly so call early for information and to make arrangements. For more information about supports and community services contact the Toronto Central Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) at (416) 506-9888 or visit www. healthcareathome.ca

‘fear keeps me alive’ >>>from page 1 globe, he revels in their telling. His striking photography and videography has been in regular demand for years by CNN, BBC-TV, CTV Newsnet, Ca n a d a’s T h e We a t h e r Network and Discovery Channel’s Daily Planet. The affable, humorous photographer’s TV series, Angry Planet, will soon return to the Outdoor Living Network for a jaw-dropping 10-episode fourth season. Angry Planet has aired 39 episodes shot in more than 30 countries on all seven continents. “A few years ago, I decided the purpose of my life is to document the mostextreme situations on earth,” Kourounis told a transfixed audience of approximately 100 avid amateur photographers during his lengthy “Another Day at the Office” photo and video presentation Monday night to the Etobicoke Camera Club. He had just returned from shooting Buffalo’s crippling snow storm. Kourounis has traveled to at least 35 countries chasing tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, dust storms, avalanches, blizzards, floods, hail and lightning. He travels about 200 days a year. Despite at times being the first, and only, photographer to ever document a natural phenomenon or disaster, Kourounis is not formally trained in photography or videography. He is a postproduction engineer. While working, Kourounis narrates in front of the camera, while also shooting video and still photographs through a wide-angle lens. “There is no photo worth dying for. But there are photos worth almost dying for,” he said. Being lowered to the bottom of the “Doorway to Hell,” a natural gas-burning crater of thousands of fires leaking methane gas in Darvaza, Turkmenistan was among his most-dangerous shoots. The crater has burned continuously since it was lit in 1971 by Soviet petroleum engineers. Titled Die Trying, the pro-

gram aired on the National Geographic channel. Kourounis wore a custommade heat suit equipped with his own air supply. He spent 17 minutes at the bottom before his crew lifted him out, his air quality and air supply alarms sounding loudly. “I was the very first person to set foot there. Twelve people have set foot on the moon,” he joked. The expedition also yielded an important scientific discovery. Soil samples he extracted, to provide possible clues to life on other planets with methane gas, found several species of bacteria not classified in any database, he said. Kourounis said he has a healthy respect for Mother Nature – and for fear. “Fear keeps me safe. Fear keeps me alive,” he said. “If I become complacent, I make mistakes. I have a lot of respect for Mother Nature. She’s always in charge. I try to mitigate risk as much as possible.” In 2006, Kourounis dove into the active Mount Yasur volcano on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu. He and his wife, Michelle, were married on its’ crater’s edge. It aired on Angry Planet. He rappelled 1,200 feet — “the same distance down as the Empire State building is tall” — into a “lava rainfall” he calls “the devil’s washing

machine”. The “selfie” he shot on his 5D soon became known as “one of the most-extreme selfies on the Web”. See it here: bit.ly/1vKRoiM The video he shot went viral: bit.ly/1wdpybG “It got about four-billion hits in one week.” Bruce Barton, Etobicoke Camera Club president, said getting Kourounis – who appears on the cover of the October/November issue of Photo Life magazine – was “a bit of coup.” “It’s a vicarious thrill we’re getting,” Barton said during a break in Kourounis’ presentation. “As photographers, we do take some risks. But nothing like this. His pictures are absolutely amazing. I’m blown away.” Former club president Jo c e l y n Ub a l d i n g s a i d Kourounis was eager and easy to book. “His talk was just as fantastic as his pictures,” she said. “He clearly loves to share his passion with other people. His work contributes to science and research. It’s pretty death-defying.” The Etobicoke Camera Club meets weekly on Monday nights at Humber Valley United Church at 76 Anglesey Blvd. New members and guests welcome. The club has operated since 1957.

How to survive budget stress during the holidays The holiday season is the time where Canadians are most likely to blow their budget, with over half (56%) identifying Christmas and New Years as the most likely occasions where they spend more than planned. This time of year trumps birthdays, weddings, and Thanksgiving as the biggest budget blowout occasion, according to a new study commissioned by Procter & Gamble. While Christmas and New Years is a great time to celebrate with friends and family, personal finance expert Gail Vaz-Oxlade is urging Canadians to stop and think about their holiday spending habits. “Year end can wreak havoc on your personal finances,” says VazOxlade. “A lot of Canadians will throw the budget out the window during the holidays, but it’s surprisingly easy to stay in budget and still cover all the season’s essentials.” Making a plan is key to surviving

the holidays with minimal financial stress. Vaz-Oxlade suggests sitting down to analyze the expected cost of presents, travel, celebrations and household items to ensure all your holiday expenses will fit into budget. Shopping for well-known, trusted brands can often equal savings during the

festive season. “You don’t have to sacrifice on quality when shopping on a budget,” says Vaz-Oxlade. “Save on household expenses by shopping for trusted brands that give you the best value for money based on overall performance and cost.

FLOAT DOWN THE RIVER TO WHERE COUNTRY LIVING MEETS THE CITY Suites at the Riverhouse at the Old MillWon’t be Available Much Longer

Surrounded by plush green forest with the gentle gurgle of the Humber River heard in the distance, Lanterra Developments selected the perfect site to build Riverhouse at the Old Mill. Located just outside of Bloor-West village, this elegant mid-rise building combines the convenience of condo living with the highest quality of materials and craftsmanship, all in a tranquil setting just steps from the subway and minutes away from the waterfront, restaurants and downtown. “We have received an overwhelmingly positive response from buyers so far,” says Barry Fenton, President and CEO of Lanterra Developments. “This location offers the best of both worlds – the convenience of the city, with a country setting in your backyard.” Aptly named for its prime location by the Humber River,

residences at the Riverhouse begin at $557,900 and reach $1,767,900. Available suites range from a 747 square foot, one bedroom plus study, to 2,152 square foot, three bedroom suites, many of which offer outstanding views. One standout,The Belvedere, is a two-bedroom plus den, 2,002 square foot residence featuring a grand foyer and centre-hall plan, two ensuite bathrooms, a master bedroom with a walk-in closet, a conservatory-style dining area and a living room generous enough to accommodate a baby grand piano. Featuring exposures in three directions, creating lovely light-filled spaces overlooking the lush surroundings, this unit is especially enticing (as is the three-bedroom Kingsgrove). Buyers will be particularly impressed with the finishings, where no expense has

been spared. Suites boast engineered hardwood flooring, 9’ ceilings (10’ in the penthouses), and individuallycontrolled heat pumps. The beautifully-designed kitchens are equipped with granite counters, classic, high-quality cabinetry and integrated Miele appliances. The sumptuous master bathrooms boast marble flooring and shower tiles, soaker tubs and safety pressure-balancing valves. Suites feature engineered hardwood flooring, nine-foot ceilings and individually controlled heat pumps. While the Bloor-West village is home to a variety of dining and entertainment, the amenities at Riverhouse invite residents to enjoy the luxuries available without leaving home. The Mezzanine level features a multi-purpose party room with kitchen facility

for those looking to entertain guests. The club-like facilities of the fully-equipped exercise room, and indoor pool and hot tub will have residents saying goodbye to the gym. “With construction complete and occupancy underway, interested buyers have the advantage of previewing the finished suites,” says Mark Mandelbaum, Chairman of Lanterra Developments. “However with occupancy started and only a handful of prime suites remaining, interested purchasers will have to act fast.” For your private viewing or to find out more about the generous sales promotions available at the Riverhouse at the Old Mill, visit the Sales Centre at 30 Old Mill Rd., Mon-Wed 12 p.m. 6 p.m.; Sat-Sun 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. (closed Thurs, Fri and holidays), or call 416-766-7343 or visit info@riverhousecondos.ca

Vote for the best and worst transit advocates in TTCriders contest Which public figures have the best and worst records when it comes to advocating for better transit funding? TTCriders is calling on the public to vote on a list of nominees as part of its 2014 Transit Champion and Transit Troll Awards. Nominated in the category of champion are TTC CEO Andy Byford, city councillor Joe Mihevc, transit fares activist Sheryl Lindsay and blogger Steve Munro. Up for the dubious Troll distinction are Doug Ford, anti-LRT councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. The awards will be announced at an event Dec. 4. For more information check out TTCriders.ca ASSISTANCE ALARM RENAMED wPASSENGER

In an effort to re-state its purpose, the alarm activated by pressing a yellow strip located on all TTC subway trains is undergoing a name change.

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT At last week’s TTC townhall, Byford announced the Passenger Assistance Alarm will be renamed the Emergency Alarm. Also planned is an upcoming media campaign to educate riders on proper use of the alarm. The most recent statistics gathered by the TTC indicate a whopping 70 per cent of alarm activations in 2012 were deemed non-emergencies. ON NOISE WALL DESIGNS wanted wFEEDBACK

As noise walls go up along the Georgetown South (GTS) rail corridor, Metrolinx is calling for feedback on a public art projects to adorn sections of the new barriers. From now until 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2 you can view online design concepts via www.gotransit.com/gts from four visual artists shortlisted

for the walls at Ritchie Avenue and the West Toronto Railpath. Email your feedback directly to gts@gotransit.com . The work is part of Metrolinx’s GTS upgrades, ahead of next spring’s launch of the Union Pearson Express air rail link. MEETING HELD ON EXTENDING RAILPATH Also planned for the beginning of December is a final public meeting organized by the city seeking feedback for a proposal to extend the West Toronto Railpath into the Sudbury Street area. Options under consideration include constructing a new physically separated cycle path, sidewalks along an extended Railpath between Queen and King Street West. The meeting takes place Monday, Dec. 1 at 99 Sudbury St. from 6 to 8 p.m.

Province to pay for community bus to help seniors, people with disabilities and youth get around Municipalities have until Jan. 30 to apply RAHUL GUPTA

rgupta@insidetoronto.com The province has announced it will make funds available to pay for community transportation services benefitting seniors, people with disabilities and youth, as part of a pilot program. The Community Transportation Pilot Program, announced by Ontario transportation minister Steven Del Duca, seniors affairs minister Mario Sergio and Etobicoke Centre MPP Yvan Baker at the Centennial Park Place Retirement Residence Tuesday morning, Nov. 25, will allocate a total of $1 million over two years for group transportation services provided by Ontario municipalities partnering with com-

munity organizations, transit agencies and other groups. According to a statement released after the announcement, the program is intended for stay-at-home seniors, students seeking to get to school and people in rural communities without access to a car. Municipalities seeking to receive a grant through the program have until January 30, 2015 to apply. The TTC operates six citywide community bus routes making stops at medical centres, supermarkets and other destinations frequented by seniors. Earlier this year, the transit commission’s board of directors voted in support of a staff report recommending against expanding community buses

because of a historical drop in ridership as well as the cost to operate the service, $900,000 in 2014, which is taken from the operating budget for Wheel-Trans. Despite requests to expand community buses into Scarborough, where there are no routes, the March 2014 report concluded the costs of doing so would adversely impact Wheel-Trans’ operations. TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said it was too soon to determine whether potential extra funds through the new grant program could help to adequately subsidize the operation of existing or future community bus routes. Ross would only say the TTC will review the details of the program.

SmartTrack transit plan receiving positive feedback: Tory Metrolinx still needs to study how proposal would impact its plans MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com A week before John Tory officially becomes Toronto’s mayor, everyone around him likes SmartTrack. That’s the message served up Monday by the mayor-elect at the Ontario Investment Trade Centre (OITC), a provincial office high above the Eaton Centre where foreign investors are welcomed and deputy ministers have working lunches. So far as he knows, Tory told reporters, SmartTrack, the surfacerail transit plan he campaigned on, can still be finished in seven years and paid for without property tax hikes. Everyone’s “on the same page,” and wants to see SmartTrack built, Tory announced after meeting with his hand-picked transition advisory council, plus TTC General Manager Andy Byford and Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig at the OITC, which

offers impressive views of Toronto’s cityscape. Of course, Tory’s team of advisors doesn’t include independent transit experts or – apart from David Soknacki, who dropped his own bid for mayor – anyone who ever said SmartTrack or its funding scheme are half-baked ideas. ‘Move things forward’ Those advisors, he said, agreed people want him to “really move things forward” while a sense of urgency remains, and put decisions on SmartTrack in front of provincial and city governments soon. Details of the plan and a schedule have to wait until Metrolinx and others study how SmartTrack would affect development in the city and the rest of its transit system, but Tory said such research has started already. “There’s work being done right now.”

“

He made clear he won’t waste time while the city is “strangling itself” with traffic and made a subtle pitch to the federal government for financial help.

– John Tory speaking about comments from council members

Open discussion Tory, after being elected last month, said he didn’t want to get “involved” in the federal election campaign next year – that is, endorse one party because it offers Toronto the most assistance on transit. But on Monday, Tory said he’d start an “open discussion” with the Conservative regime in Ottawa, “knowing their very strong focus on the economy,” about SmartTrack. The federal vote is less than a year away and SmartTrack’s end points, Tory said, are in Mississauga and Markham – giving the government a chance, he suggested, to accomplish something meaningful in the vote-rich “905” regions around Toronto. Tory continues to propose tax increment financing, or TIF, to help fund SmartTrack through development around its stations, a choice criticized during the campaign by Soknacki and other rivals.

All of the comments have been positive.

But he said, so far, there’s been “no significant debate” generated by his advisors on whether TIF will work. Like Uber, the “ride-sharing” phone application the mayor-elect defended last week, Tory said TIF is a “newer way of doing things” people in the city should welcome. And though he said he hasn’t met all 44 members of city council, Tory said he’s talked to a “solid majority” from across the city. None said they were “unalterably opposed” to SmartTrack, he said. “All of the comments have been positive.” Planning for a line to relieve pressure on the Yonge Street subway – previously considered the TTC’s most important major project – is already moving forward and will continue in 2015, Tory said.

Gift exchange dos and dont’s Chanukah, Christmas and New Year’s Eve are right around the corner. That means neighborhoods, buildings and stores will soon be awash in holiday splendor. Social schedules will be full, and men and women everywhere will shuffle to complete their holiday shopping. Grab bags are a staple of this season of giving, and the following are a few dos and don’ts to ensure participation in gift exchanges is fun and friendly for all involved. DO set a gift amount limit. Holiday grab bags are more about having fun and exchanging a little something with friends and family members than walking away with amazing prizes. Establish a spending limit so everyone receives a gift of roughly the same value and no one feels slighted or left out. DON’T exceed the spend-

ing limit. It can be tempting to spend more to make your gift appear more impressive. But overspending defeats the purpose of the gift exchange. Grab bags typically are anonymous, so being overly generous will not win you any style points. DO make it a game. Tossing gifts in a bag only to have others reach in and grab one is certainly effective. But the concept can be even more fun if you make a game out of it. Try passing wrapped gifts around in a circle to a holiday song. When the music stops, the gift you are holding is the one you open. Experiment with your own variations to make gift exchanges more fun. DON’T let anyone see the gift you bring. The idea is to keep things as secretive as possible so as not to sway the selection of presents. DO ensure your gift is unisex. Unless you know specifi-

cally that only men or women will be opening the presents, select items that will appeal to both genders. Food, gift cards, music, or home staples make great grab bag gifts. DON’T forget to consider ages as well. Gift exchanges may include both children and adults, so include gifts that appeal to all ages when necessary. When the exchange has ended, allow participants to swap gifts if they want to. DO expect some grab bag gifts to be gag gifts. Such gifts are entertaining and may make up the majority of the grab bag gifts. Keep your sense of humour and you’re likely to enjoy grab bags a lot more. DON’T regift items to use as grab bag picks. Should the person who gave you the gift participate in the grab bag, he or she can trace that gift back to you and may be offended.

Bishop Allen senior boys capture bronze in OFSAA volleyball

Team plays full number of games to clinch third place

Etobicoke’s Bishop Allen Academy had to play a lot of volleyball to earn their bronze medal at the provincial high school championships, which wrapped up Saturday, Nov. 22 in Peel Region. The bronze-medal game, on Saturday, Nov. 22, went the limit with the Etobicoke School defeating Whitby’s Sinclair Secondary School 3-2 (25-23, 26-24, 20-25, 24-26, 15-11) to earn the team its first ever Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) medal. All six matches played by Bishop Allen at the top ‘4A’ tourney went the full number of games. They were relegated to the bronze medal game with a loss in their semifinal game to eventual provincial champion Bill Crothers Secondary School from Unionville by the familiar 3-2 score (25-20, 25-27, 24-26, 25-15, 15-9). Bishop Allen won its quarter-final match 3-2 (game scores not listed) to Sir John A Macdonald Secondary School from Waterloo. In pool play, matches were bestof-three – and they all went the limit for Bishop Allen, winning 2-1 over both St. Anne Secondary School from Windsor and Mayfield Secondary School from Caledon, and losing 2-1 to Saunders Secondary School from London. Bishop Allen won its Catholic board title this season – their third title in the past four years – and were OFSAA consolation champions last year. Team players are Ethan Ellison, Grayson Engelman, Anthony Gianfelice, Michael Gianfelice, Andrew Kos, Jacob McLennan, Robert Milaniuk, Christian Pickard, Andrew Rugosi, Andrij Sozonskyy and Mario Matisa. Head coach is Rick Bianco and assistant coach is Art Pietras.

TDSB champs Richview Saints in Bowl game The Richview Collegiate Saints were slated to play for a second straight Football Bowl championship yesterday (Wednesday) in Hamilton against Eastern Ontario champion Frontenac Secondary School. The late-afternoon game went beyond our press deadlines. The first game of the day was played by Toronto Catholic board champ Chaminade College of North York against Hamilton’s Sir Allan MacNab, the second seed from the host South Ontario region.

Richview advanced to the annual provincial Bowl with a 15-0 win over the Etobicoke Collegiate Rams in last Thursday’s Toronto District School Board Tier 1 football championship. The all-Etobicoke title clash was held in wintery conditions at North York’s Esther Shiner Stadium with a light sheet of snow still covering the field and with the dropping sub-zero temperatures hitting double-digit windchills. Richview led 14-0 at the half on

two touchdowns and added a single in the second half. Under the new Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Associations (OFSAA) format introduced last year, league champs from across Ontario now get together to compete in nine bowl games. Last year’s inaugural format was held at Etobicoke’s Centennial Stadium and this year’s, which kicked off yesterday and runs through to Friday, is being held at McMaster University in Hamilton.

A perennial football powerhouse, Richview last won the TDSB title in 2010. Last year, they were TDSB finalists, losing 56-36 to Central Tech. The Bowl format, however, gives the host association a second seed, so Richview were able to get into a Bowl game last year and they made the best of it, edging West Ferris High School from North Bay 12-10.

Etobicoke gymnast inks U.S. college scholarship Years of hard work and dedication to gymnastics and academics have paid off for Etobicoke’s Justin Karstadt. The elite gymnast signed a scholarship last Thursday with the University of Minnesota beginning next school year. “Being a student athlete, it’s important not to go to a school just for the athletics,” said Karstadt, who averages grades in the 90s at Silverthorn Collegiate. “It has to suit your academic needs and goals too, so that was a big selling point. Also, the team is really young with a lot of freshman and I like that because by the time I get there, I can spend a lot of time with those people.” Karstadt, who trains out of Mississauga’s Futures Gymnastics under Coach Zhaohui Huang, was scheduled to visit four schools he was considering signing with early in the school year. He only made it to three because after visiting Minnesota,

“

... a great offer from Minnesota is like a dream come true and a huge burden off my shoulders. – Justin Karstadt

Futures gymnast Justin Karstadt signed an NCAA Division I scholarship with the University of Minnesota last week. He’s pictured with parents Carl and Lillian (to his left) and Coach Zhaohui Huang.

he was sold and decided to forego his final campus visit. Karstadt considers it a

major achievement since NCAA Division I gymnastics scholarships are harder to come by for men than they

are for women. While universities are permitted to offer 12 women’s scholarships for every four-

year cycle, schools offering men’s programs are limited to the equivalent of 6.3 scholarships for that duration, meaning a lot of scholarships are broken up so school’s can stay within the cap. “We started the process about a year ago and since then, it’s been so stressful,” Karstadt said. “You never know in the States because there are so few scholarships available, so to be able to end up with a great offer from Minnesota is like a dream come true and a huge burden off my shoulders.” Karstadt is applying for an academic scholarship and said he believes he can get one because he did well on

his ACT college readiness assessment. He drew the attention of Minnesota coach Mike Burns by winning the all-around title at the Canadian Junior National Championships earlier this year. He also helped Team Canada win bronze at the Junior Pan American Championships while winning silver on the pommel horse. Karstadt will be a welcome addition at Minnesota considering that current team member Ellis Mannon, the 2014 NCAA pommel horse gold medalist, is moving on next year. Karstadt likes the thought of having those big shoes to fill. “He’s going to be leaving when I get there, so coaches want me to step it up and eventually take his place,” he said. “Being that my favourite event is pommel horse, I wanted to go somewhere that would cater to that area so I could go to the next level.” – Metroland Media Group, Iain Colpitts

Premier pays tribute to fallen first responders Const. John Zivcic remembered as the one-year anniversary of his death approaches CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Nearly a year after his death, Const. John Zivcic of south Etobicoke’s 22 Division was among those recognized this weekend at a Queen’s Park ceremony honouring the sacrifices of Ontario’s fallen

first responders. Saturday’s Tribute to the Fallen ceremony saw Premier Kathleen Wynne honour Zivcic, along with eight Ontario firefighters who died in the line of duty, by presenting each of their families with a special plaque in honour of their loved ones’

memory. “I am moved and humbled by the courage of the men we honour today and by their commitment to serve their province and their country,” Wynne said. “It is a service we do not take for granted and a sacrifice we shall never forget.”

Premier Kathleen Wynne, right, participates in the annual Tribute to the Fallen ceremony Saturday at Queen's Park, to show her support for the firefighters, police officers and paramedics who died in the line of duty. Among those honoured was Const. John Zivcic of 22 Division, who died when his police cruiser collided with a civilian vehicle on Nov. 30, 2013.

Zivcic, a 34-year-old officer who had seven years on the force, was responding to a late afternoon emergency call in the Bloor Street West and Neilson Drive area on Nov. 30, 2013, when his unmarked cruiser collided with another vehicle. He suffered life-threatening head injuries after being ejected from his cruiser and, despite several emergency surgeries at St. Michael’s Hospital, he died of his injuries two days later. T h i s w e e k , D e t . Pa t McGrade of 22 Division

remembered Zivcic as a “caring and giving man” – even in death. “John loved his family and his duties as a police officer. In his final act of kindness as a human being, he gave life to others by donating his organs,” McGrade said of Zivcic. “John’s memory and spirit continue to live on to those that knew him, and to those strangers that he helped give life to.” The Government of Ontario established the Tribute to the Fallen ceremony in 2006 to honour soldiers, firefighters,

police officers and paramedics from Ontario who died in the line of duty, and to express support, condolences and gratitude to their families. To date, 218 members of the Canadian Armed Forces, firefighters, paramedics and police officers have been honoured at the annual Tribute to the Fallen ceremonies. The firefighters honoured at this year’s ceremony included: n David Earl O’Brien of Toronto Fire Services, who died in October 2013 n Capt. Ted Heydon of New Tecumseth Fire Rescue, who died in May 2007 n Capt. Jack Insley of Havelock Bellmont Methuen Fire Department, who died in January 2008 n Kevin James of Southwold Township Fire Department, who died in July 2014 n John Clark Nesom of Sault Ste. Marie Fire Department, who died in July 2014 n Hank Smit of Sarnia Fire Rescue Services, who died in April 2014 n E d w a r d To t h e o f Brantford Fire Department, who died in August 2013 n Lawrence Walker of Cambridge Fire Department, who died in December 2013

Bylaw officers investigate illegal dumping at Centennial Park Witnesses urged to call city hotline CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Bylaw enforcement officials are “very hopeful” that a recent case of illegal dumping in Centennial Park will result in the perpetrator being caught, thanks to evidence left at the scene by a witness. Municipal Licensing and Standards’ (MLS) Bruce Schneller, the manager of bylaw enforcement for west Toronto, said investigators are following up on the lead – a witness note written on a piece of drywall atop a heap of the ripped-up building material left dumped on a boulevard in the sprawling Etobicoke

park, which described the vehicle driven by the suspect and the vehicle’s license plate number. While Schneller said the note – which described a large white van witnessed at the scene – is certainly a lead, there are other, better methods of reporting illegal dumping that he urges witnesses to follow. “It was nice that they did that, and we appreciate it greatly, but there’s a couple of issues tied to that: one being that, in and of itself, the note is of no evidentiary value. I can’t put that before a court, obviously, but we certainly follow up on all leads, and it is a lead that is being followed up on,”

My favourite hobbies are riding an ATV during my spare time, reading Stephen King novels and serving as a volunteer in my community. Three times a week my husband and I run different programs in my neighbourhood. One of the programs involves working with seniors, another program is youth’s weightlifting and the other is for kids ages 5-12 who learn about the bible. We move on to drama, games and a healthy meal at the end of their lessons. So as you can tell I am quite busy but love what I do. Congratulations Tasha!

Chief Blair talks residents at police town hall of 28 officers all dedicated to bringing the perpetrators to justice. “At the end of August, information came to light and a follow-up investigation was commenced in order to establish evidence against the suspects,” he said, noting that Project Screen concluded on Oct. 29 with the arrests of two individuals. Anieph Fitzroy Burton, 32, and his wife Jehanneiry Beaton, 31, have now been charged in connection with the case. Burton faces 95 charges – including 46 counts of break-and-enter, 11 counts of sexual assault and 16 counts of mischief – while his wife, Beaton, faces six counts of break-and-enter commit and break-and-enter with intent. At last Wednesday night’s town hall, a female resident of one of the neighbourhoods targeted by the alleged suspects thanked police for

making arrests in the case and returning a much-needed sense of security back to her community. “Thank the members of the task force. I live in one of the neighbourhoods where there were a couple of sexual assaults, so I can tell you I haven’t slept well for a couple of years,” said the woman, who did not give her name. “So, thank you.” Blair, for his part, assured residents that the Project

Working in community “It lacked the critical mass that was necessary to provide all of the services that each of the divisions provides, so a decision was made to close 21 Division. We closed the building, but the officers who serve this community are still working in this community. I think it’s important to note, too, that we do not dispatch our officers from any building. Our officers are on patrol in the community – either on foot, or in cars, or on bikes – but they’re out in the community all day long. And when there’s a call for service, they respond from the neighbourhood, not from a building.”

“

Break-and-enters are down 14 per cent this year in south Etobicoke’s 22 Division and that’s due, in large part, to recent arrests in two highprofile investigations, local residents heard this week at town hall meeting attended by Toronto police Chief Bill Blair. “What I love about these meetings is I always think it’s important to remind us all, and to give everyone permission, to talk about the things that actually concern you in your community,” Blair told the 50 or so 22 Division residents gathered at Wednesday night’s meeting, hosted by the Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC) at Humber College’s Lakeshore Campus. “When we first started doing these, we had the expectation we would come and talk

about things that were in the headlines of the day – things like national security issues, gang activity and murder and mayhem...but what I have discovered in 10 years as police chief and 30 years as a cop, is that the issues that are really affecting the quality of people’s lives are not necessarily those things that make the headlines in the national media.” One of those issues top of mind for many residents in south Etobicoke over the last few summers has been the investigation, dubbed Project Screen, into the spate of seasonal nighttime breakand-enters that saw numerous female victims sexually assaulted in 22 Division. Det. Bruno Miron of 22 Division’s Major Crimes Unit, said the investigation into that case was one that spanned three-and-a-half years and involved the formation of a special task force consisting

mortar. We didn’t stop policing this community, and we retain a very strong presence in south Etobicoke,” Blair said, noting the decision to merge 21 with 22 Division in 2001 was due to the fact it was by far the smallest unit with the fewest officers.

Screen investigation remained a high-priority for him and his officers. “Let me tell you, we understood. It was a priority for us because we knew the tremendous anxiety that that community experienced. It was a difficult investigation and these were very sophisticated criminals,” he said, noting that the suspects left little forensic evidence in their wake. “I regret how long it took, but I can tell you the investigators on this case worked tirelessly on it because we knew the implications for that neighbourhood and the anxiety you suffered. We’re confident we’ve resolved the situation.” The other hot-button topic brought up at the meeting was the public’s desire to see the reestablishment of 21 Division in south Etobicoke – a topic Kim Edgar from Councillor Mark Grimes’ office said is the biggest concern they hear. “I want to be clear. We closed a building – bricks and

ETOBICOKE – “Significantly improving and increasing” transit service is a top priority of 11-year councillor Mark Grimes for his lakefront Etobicoke ward in the next Toronto City Council term, which begins Dec. 1. “I heard loud and clear how frustrated people are with transit service in Ward 6 and across the city,” Grimes said. “I am confident I can work with (TTC CEO) Andy Byford and the new city council and mayor to improve standards and service levels in our community.” Grimes said his transit priorities in the next council term include: reinstating the former 507 streetcar route from Long Branch to Roncesvalles; ending “short-turning” 501 streetcars, particularly while headed westbound into the ward; improving GO train connections, including the possible construction of an additional GO train station at Park Lawn Road and Lake Shore Boulevard West; increasing the frequency of buses on Kipling, Islington and Royal York traveling to and from stations on the Bloor-Danforth subway line and ensuring the 145 Humber Express Bus between Humber Bay Shores and downtown Toronto services the most riders possible. A new community centre in the Mimico-Humber Bay Shores area; ensuring developers pay their fair share for new infrastructure and servicing; continued updates of parks, community services and streetscapes and remaining focused “on the needs of Ward 6 and being accountable and accessible to its residents,” round out Grimes’ priorities, he said. Upgrades to Long Branch Park and Phase 2 of Amos Waites Park’s revitalization is scheduled for this year. The Power House in Colonel Samuel Smith Park is being renovated to enable more community space. Grimes is currently in conversation with senior city staff about how the new community centre would operate. “There are lots of great things planned for Ward 6, and I encourage anyone to get in touch with me if they have ideas of their own,” he said. – Tamara Shephard For more stories on the new term at city hall, visit us at insidetoronto.com or follow city hall reporter David Nickle on Twitter @ DavidNickle

MUNRO, Aubrey (Chic)

After a long and fulfilled life, Aubrey (Chic) Munro (age 97) passed away on November 13, 2014 and has now joined Edith, his wife of 62 years. While we are sad at losing him, we are happy they are together again. Chic was well known in the neighbourhood and leaves many friends in the dairy business, at Alderwood United Church, and 101 Legion. Born in Amherst, Nova Scotia, he grew up in Montreal and joined the Royal Montreal Regiment in September 1939. He met and married Edith Hicks while in England and brought her to Montreal. In 1960 they moved to Alderwood where they remained. He was a gentleman, and a humanitarian, and lived his life by example, treating other people the way he wanted to be treated. He will be greatly missed by his son Bob (lla), daughter Cheryl Reid (Roger) and grandson Trevor (Melissa). Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to Alderwood United Church, Christian Blind Mission or a charity of your choice. Condolences can be left at www.RidleyFuneralHome.com.
