Building community through rugby, and rugby through communities.

That’s the mandate the Toronto Inner-City Rugby Foundation (TIRF) brought with it this summer to Etobicoke’s Dixon Park – just one of about 10 under-served locations across Toronto where the rugbycentred community development organization ran drop-in programs for inner city youth,

said Paul Myers, TIRF’s rugby development coordinator.

“One of the things that’s major for us is we like to use rugby as a community-building tool,” said Myers, noting the sport’s ability to build character in its young players by imparting rugby’s core values of integrity, solidarity, passion, respect, and discipline.

“The idea is that we’re not just getting kids to play rugby, but getting kids to be better persons overall – better citizens >>>program, page 6

Silver Creek Park users fear loss of greenspace School property could be sold for development Cynthia Reason creason@insidetoronto.com As the sun began to set on Silver Creek Park last Thursday, the steady stream of foot traffic that daily floods the much-loved and oft-used green space in the heart of Etobicoke’s Richmond Gardens neighbourhood finally ebbed for the night.

As a boys soccer team packed up pylons and balls after a breathless practice, mothers out enjoying an after-dinner visit to the park’s rejuvenated playground with their toddlers joined strolling seniors and dog walkers in the exodus home, and volunteers working hard to prepare one of Silver Creek’s pair of baseball diamonds for a weekend tournament wrapped up their evening’s toils.

More than late summer’s early setting sun, though.

What’s casting a shadow on many such park users’ enjoyment of the green space at Silver Creek is the prospect that a large chunk of it could soon be sold off to developers.

“I’m not happy at all. It would just be such a shame to lose this. I mean, it’s such a beautiful park and we use it almost every night,” lamented Martingrove Baseball president Gary Cullum, whose teams have enjoyed use of the Silver Creek ball diamonds from May to September for 23 years.

“I know everybody wants to make money, but gall darn, don’t take park land away. I think it’s a disgrace.

It just shouldn’t happen.”

Martingrove Baseball is just one of many groups that permit out portions of the green space attached to the former Silver Creek Public School at 65 Hartsdale Rd. The property was declared surplus by the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) in June, despite the fact it currently houses Silver Creek Pre-

Above, Mario (centre) dribbles with the ball during an Etobicoke Youth Soccer Club practice session in Silver Creek Park.

The soccer field and other lands in the multi-use greenspace are under threat of development. Below, coach Frank Ferraro (right) gives direction to his team.

Public meeting To update residents, Friends of Silver Creek School will host a community meeting this evening at 65 Hartsdale Rd. starting at 6:30 p.m.

School, a 40-year tenant of the building whose clients are 80 per cent made up of children with physical and/ or developmental challenges, and the Etobicoke Children’s Centre, a nonprofit children’s mental health centre that provides programs and services for 1,200 children, youth and families each year.

While the TDSB is currently engaged in discussions with the province towards the purchase of the school building itself in order to protect and maintain those “vital” services within, there has been no official word on the potential fate of the large swath of land attached to the school – a red flag for many in the community who worry the prime piece of parkadjacent land will be sold for development.

“Our fear is that TDSB

might sever off the greenspace and sell it to a developer, even if the province steps in to purchase the school,” said Janet GriffithsMaxymiw, co-chair of Friends of Silver Creek School, noting the land in question encompasses one

of the park’s much-used ball diamonds and its sole soccer pitch.

“If that’s the case, then the city-owned parkland housing Silver Creek’s pool and tennis courts might also be vulnerable. It’s a worstcase scenario, but that’s

where we are because no one is sharing information.”

As co-chairs of Friends of Silver Creek, GriffithsMaxymiw and Tracie Napoli have been doing what they can to advocate for the school property and educate their neighbours about

the tenuous situation in the face of what they characterize as a lot of “misinformation” floating around.

“A lot of people think it’s already a done deal, that it’s sold, while other people seem to think, ‘Yay! We’ve saved it!’ What we need people to do is to become informed,” Napoli said.

“People need to understand that there is still time to make a difference. We need people to stand up and say, ‘You know what?

Enough! Enough of coming into our community, enough of the intensification, enough of trying to take away our parks, and enough of not listening to us.’”

That sentiment was echoed Thursday night by Mike Ferraro, who runs soccer programs for at-risk youth under the umbrella of Etobicoke Youth Soccer at Silver Creek three nights a week.

“People need to get on board to save this space, because we need stuff like this,” he said, noting that, for programs like his, permits to play on reliable fields like the one at Silver Creek are hard to come by.

“This is definitely not the closest park to any of my kids,” he added, noting that his preteen players hail from all over Etobicoke – from Princess Margaret, to the Dixon and Hwy. 401 area, Islington and Dundas, and Martin Grove and Eglinton – “but it’s definitely the best fit for us.

I don’t know what we’d do if we lost it.”

To update residents, Friends of Silver Creek School will host a community meeting Thursday evening (Sept. 15) at 65 Hartsdale Rd. starting at 6:30 p.m.

Griffiths-Maxymiw and Napoli said Etobicoke Centre MPP Yvan Baker, Councillor John Campbell and Trustee Chris Glover are all expected to be in attendance – and they encouraged all who want to save the school and its green space to come out and have their voices heard.

Sleep apnea takes toll on people’s lives

A

good night’s sleep – it’s something many of us take for granted.

But for millions of Canadians who suffer from sleep apnea, a restful sleep is hard to come by.

With 10 per cent of the North American population impacted by this sleep disorder, someone you know may be experiencing the side effects of sleep apnea, which can be severe and debilitating.

As Dr. T. Douglas Bradley, director of the University Health Network Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and Toronto General Hospital Sleep Research Labs, noted in this week’s Metroland Media Toronto special report, “You feel like you’ve been hit by a 10-ton truck when you get up in the morning.”

CORK DOWN THROAT

Bradley gives a clearer picture of what sleep apnea is by explaining that “it’s like sticking a cork down your throat, so you struggle to breathe because your airway’s obstructed.”

That can go on for a minimum of 10 seconds and can OuR ViEW astoundingly last up to a minute and a half. As a result, Prevention in serious cases, people can be jolted awake more than 60 among the times an hour, preventing deep best cures sleep.

Sufferers can also experience potential long-term cardiovascular health effects such as high blood pressure, stroke and heart failure.

The effects can go beyond the bedroom as the ensuing sleepiness throughout the day can lead to a fourfold increase in the incidence of getting involved in motor vehicle and industrial accidents.

NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM

Studies show men are three times more likely to suffer from the condition with age playing a factor as well as obesity and inactivity.

But all is not doom and gloom with the report highlighting potential cures for sleep apnea depending on the severity of the case.

Simple solutions include sleeping on your side or wearing a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask, which blows air through the nose and into the back of the throat to keep the airway open.

But as it is with most health-related issues, Bradley iterated that prevention is the greatest cure.

If you’re looking for another reason to exercise, maintain a healthy body weight and keep active, you can add greatly reducing the risk of developing sleep apnea to the list.

Ford book may lead to unintended consequences Wa t c h i n g D o u g F o r d announce that Harper Collins will soon be releasing another Ford book – Ford Nation: “the most exciting book that this country’s ever seen when it comes to politics”– I was struck with a pang of sympathy.

The sympathy is not for my colleagues in the press or the politicians at city hall, who Doug Ford promised would be spared no indignity in Ford Nation’s pages. My heart really goes out to the writer – or possibly team of writers and editors, as Ford was vague about the specifics – who were contracted by Harper Collins to pen this tell-all authorized sort-of biographical memoir of Rob and Doug Ford’s adventures at the helm of Toronto.

It made me think of Tony Schwartz.

He did a similar job three decades ago, for New York real estate mogul Donald Trump, when he wrote “The Art of the Deal” on Trump’s behalf. He wasn’t

david nickle the city precisely a ghost writer – he shared the byline with Trump, right there on the cover, and also split the royalties and the advance.

By all accounts, he did good work for good pay.

Maybe too good. Earlier this year, Schwartz, through an interview in The New Yorker magazine, expressed “deep remorse” for helping Trump build his reputation as a touch-of-gold entrepreneur, which in turn helped him rise through and above the others for the Republican nomination in 2016 and win the thing. Maybe he’ll win the presidency, and if he does…“I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization,” Schwartz was quoted saying.

Thank heaven there are no nuclear codes associ-

ated with the jobs that Doug Ford made clear he might just be seeking – the mayoralty of Toronto, the premiership of Ontario, or the office of Prime Minister of Canada. But Doug Ford left no doubt that the book, subtitled “Two Brothers, One Vision,” is at the very least coincidental with his re-entry into Canadian electoral politics. When it’s released Nov. 22, he promised to criss-cross the country ostensibly to drum up sales but also to meet people.

As to when he will reveal his political plans?

Sometime within the next year, Ford promised. It’s hard to say how this strategy will play out for Ford.

He does have a base and a profile – the fact that he was able to summon half of Toronto’s news media to his house in Etobicoke for nothing more specific than a “special” announcement Tuesday morning is testament to that. And he does have an image to

rehabilitate: as much as the Ford Nation base of support continues to percolate, a winning majority of Torontonians rejected him for mayor in part because of the way he and his brother comported themselves while in office as councillor and mayor respectively.

Will a book tour do the job?

Promoting her autobiography My Journey certainly didn’t help Olivia Chow hold onto her early lead in polls in the 2014 mayoral race.

On the other hand, a well-penned, well-timed book can do a lot to turn a troubling narrative into a triumphant one – particularly as the most troubling elements recede further into history. And that can open the door…

Well, it can open the door to all sorts of things. Just ask Tony Schwartz.

‘Legacy light’ will be installed at intersection where man died CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Etobicoke York Community Council voted in favour of the installation of a “legacy light” at an Etobicoke intersection where a young man was struck and killed last year.

Laura Hayes, the sister of the victim, made a tearful plea in support of a traffic control signal at Islington Avenue and Deerfoot Drive to west-end councillors at their Wednesday, Sept. 7 meeting.

“On Oct. 10, my brother was struck and killed at Islington and Deerfoot. He had gotten off a TTC bus and simply tried to cross the road at about 7:25 p.m.,” she said.

“Unfortunately he wasn’t able to make it across safely, and was struck and killed by two cars.”

In the 11 months since her brother’s tragic death, Hayes said she has canvassed the local community to get support for the installation

of some kind of pedestrian crossing at the intersection, which she noted hosts a TTC

bus stop on Islington, as well as an entry point for two subdivisions that house a lot of

seniors and children.

and they seem to agree with me,” Hayes said of the support she’s garnered for the signal, as evidenced by a petition on which she’s collected upwards of 175 signatures.

“I’m just one person, though. I can’t do it all by myself; I need help and support. And I need to know that something good is going to come out of this loss of a human being...Because this is all I have left. I don’t have anything left to give (my brother) value of some kind.”

Hayes’ impassioned plea convinced the majority of EYCC councillors to vote against a city Transportation Services report, which recommended against lights at Islington and Deerfoot, citing the results of a study that indicated the traffic control signal warrant was not achieved.

“I think my colleagues know me well enough where if it doesn’t meet the warrants, I generally go along with that,” Etobicoke Centre

Councillor John Campbell said, before tabling a motion to install lights at the intersection.

“But no one wants to see this happen on any roadway in Toronto...and I think if we were to not act and install this light, then we might not be doing our proper duty as city councillors to ensure safety on our roadways.”

In supporting Campbell’s motion, York West Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti went so far as to advocate for a change to the city’s policy in regards to the installation of traffic control signals at the sites of pedestrian fatalities.

“I think we probably have to change the policy so that after somebody has a tragic accident, that we automatically put in a light,” he said.

“There’s absolutely no reason that we should not put a light at this particular intersection. At the very least, it’s a legacy light for the gentleman that lost his life at that intersection.”

Program breaks down barriers between community and police >>>from page 1 of Toronto, of Ontario, and of Canada.”

At Dixon Park, TIRF teamed up with officers from 23 Division’s Somali Liaison Unit to help run the Friday evening program all summer long, which Myers – himself a retired Toronto police sergeant who once worked out of the north Etobicoke division – said goes a long way towards building bridges in the community.

“We trained the officers beforehand so they could participate with the kids and have fun. What having them there does is, it helps the community see the police in a little different light,” he said.

“And over time, it helps to break down those barriers and helps the community come to see (the officers) more as people than what they see on TV.” The Dixon Park program, which kicked off in July and wrapped up last Friday, drew close to 40 kids aged seven

to 14 from the Dixon and Islington communities – an impressive turnout Myers said TIRF hopes to build on next summer, when they plan to

expand to offer a full-fledged, four-team house league program.

“We hope the kids were able to take away some skills

they can use – fundamental movement and physical literacy skills – and that they’re able to develop those further for next year,” Myers said.

in their apartment. We tried to encourage them to get outside and use the space that’s around them.”

The TIRF program – which was run thanks to support from the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, Rexdale Hub, and Playing for Keeps – wrapped up last Friday with a special pizza party and participation medal presentation that turned into a mini community celebration.

“The neat thing at Dixon is, it wasn’t just the kids who came out every Friday evening – it was their families, too,” Myers said.

“While the kids participated in our rugby program, their younger siblings would use the playground and their families would sit around and have something to eat. So, it really became more of a community social thing, which was great to see.”

BREATHE EASY

W

hat do you do when a solid eight hours of sleep still leaves you feeling exhausted and listless in the morning?

For millions of Canadians suffering from sleep apnea, that’s a daily occurrence, and while sleep apnea itself may not be deadly, its side effects can be severe, particularly when they add up over weeks, months or years.

Sleep apnea is an obstruction of the trachea during sleep, which stops breathing and causes fits of wakefulness.

In serious cases, people can be jolted awake more than 60 times an hour, and while the body returns to sleep quickly, the condition prevents deep sleep.

“Your sleep becomes mincemeat,” said Dr. T. Douglas Bradley, director of the University Health Network Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and Toronto General Hospital Sleep Research Labs.

“It’s like sticking a cork down your throat, so you struggle to breathe because your airway’s obstructed and you can’t get any air in your lungs.

That goes on for a minimum of 10 seconds and can last up to a minute and a half. Eventually the asphyxia wakes you up and when that happens, there’s a sudden increase in the tone of the muscles in the throat, so the throat opens, usually with a loud snore.”

Sleep apnea affects some 10 per cent of the population in North America, with men three times more likely to suffer from the condition.

Age is a factor – the average sleep apnea patient is 45 years old – and obesity and inactivity are strong contributing factors.

Bradley noted that sleep apnea is disruptive not only to the sufferer, but to their partners as well, as those suffering from the condition snore loudly through-

The continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is the best treatment for people with sleep apnea.

People can now test themselves at home to see if they have sleep apnea

out the night. The effects on the sufferer, however, can be debilitating.

“You feel like you’ve been hit by a 10-ton truck when you get up in the morning, often with headaches, feeling like you’d like to go back

to bed again,” he said.

The ensuing sleepiness throughout the day can lead to a three to fourfold increase in the incidence of getting involved in motor vehicle accidents and industrial accidents.

Beyond that, sufferers tend to toss and turn throughout the night and can suffer a loss of shortterm memory and libido.

There are also potential long-term cardiovascular health effects, with sleep

apnea sufferers seeing a two to fourfold increase in the incidence of high blood pressure, stroke and heart failure.

“When you fall asleep, your cardiovascular system relaxes just like the muscles

in the rest of the body, so your blood pressure goes down, your heart rate goes down, oxygen consumption by the heart goes down because the heart’s resting,” Bradley said.

“If you keep waking somebody up, you get surges of sympathetic (nervous system) activity that raise the heart rate, raise the blood pressure and increase the pumping activity of the heart at a time when it should be resting.”

Potential cures for sleep apnea are varied, depending on the severity of the case. Bradley noted that prevention is the greatest cure – by maintaining a healthy body weight and keeping active, the risk of developing the condition is greatly reduced.

Other simple solutions include sleeping on your side or having your tonsils removed if they are particularly large, though these only serve to help some patients.

For many, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks are the best treatment.

Worn overnight, the face masks blow air through the nose and into the back of the throat to keep the airway open.

“This controls sleep apnea, but it doesn’t cure it,” Bradley said.

Securing an appointment in a sleep clinic to get diagnosed can be difficult.

To help with the backlog, Bradley worked with a group of partners to form BresoTec, a company that has developed a home testing kit. A face mask – the BresoDX – captures sleep sounds in the patient’s home through a microphone and patients can simply mail in a chip containing the recording for analysis.

“It makes diagnosis easier and we can look at a patient’s full night’s sleep in less than five minutes,” Bradley said.

$100 million just doesn’t cut it any more for United Way

“

Agency sets lofty fundraising goal for its 2016 campaign

the United Way plays such a pivotal role in bringing community together and helping those (vulnerable people) face risks and challenges in their lives.

Justin skinner jskinner@insidetoronto.com A year after the United Way merged its Toronto and York Region operations, the organization has launched an ambitious and record-setting yearly campaign for the area.

The United Way Toronto & York Region managed to top $100 million in donations over the past year, and is looking to top that total this year, setting a goal of $101.5 million. At a campaign launch event at RBC WaterPark Place on Queens Quay West on Tuesday, United Way CEO Daniele Zanotti said the goal reflects the consolidated organization’s growth in fundraising power.

“One year into our merged United Way Toronto & York Region, what an impact we have had together,” he said. “Last year, we raised a record $100,250,000 for these communities from Lake Simcoe to Lake Ontario.”

– Dave McKay, United Way 2016 campaign chair

Dan Pearce/MetrolanD

Daniele Zanotti, president and CEO of United Way Toronto & York Region, unveils the organization’s fundraising goal for the 2016 campaign during the kick off at WaterPark Place Tuesday.

Zanotti said the merger between the Toronto and York Region branches led to a three per cent increase in overall funding.

“That’s something we hadn’t experienced in York Region in years and years,” he said. “Companies that have their head offices in Toronto or York Region are now more able to

mobilize and come together.”

The funds raised by the United Way Toronto & York Region will support some 220 member agencies throughout the regions, with a focus on community and neighbourhoodbuilding, youth employment and poverty reduction.

The services that the United

Way supports help in many ways, including helping young people like Nivethan Amirthalingam find work.

He took part in United Way-funded networking opportunities to secure a job at RBC. “It really helped me develop my professional network and made me a better person overall,” he said.

At the campaign launch event, United Way 2016 campaign chair Dave McKay of RBC announced a $1-million matching grant by longtime United Way supporters Mike and Martha Pederson.

He pointed out the impact money donated to the organization plays a pivotal role in helping vulnerable residents find the supports they need.

“The United Way plays such a pivotal role in bringing community together and helping those (vulnerable people) face risks and challenges in their lives,” he said.

Hockey legend Conn Smythe’s home up for heritage designation Cynthia Reason creason@insidetoronto.com Etobicoke York Community Council voted unanimously in favour of protecting the home of late Toronto Maple Leafs founder Conn Smythe with a heritage designation.

The home, at 68 Baby Point Rd., was commissioned by the Hockey Hall of Famer in 1926 and designed

by Toronto architect George Roper Gouinlock.

Smythe – who co-owned the Leafs, coached Canada’s gold-medal Olympic team in 1928 and initiated the building of Maple Leaf Gardens and the original Hockey Hall of Fame on the grounds of Exhibition Place – lived in the Arts and Crafts/Tudor Revival style manor until his death in 1980.

The vote in favour of heritage designation by west-end councillors at the Sept. 7 session of Etobicoke York Community Council (EYCC) came on the heels of the property’s sale to new owners just last month.

Sylvain Rouleau, a lawyer with WeirFoulds LLP, hired by those new owners, appeared before EYCC to request councillors defer until December their decision as to whether

Benjamin Priebe/Metroland

Etobicoke York Community Council has initiated the process to have the former home of Conn Smythe, at 68 Baby Point Rd., designated a heritage site. Smythe co-founded the Toronto Maple Leafs, is a Hockey Hall of Famer and was the man who initiated the building of Maple Leaf Gardens and the Hockey Hall of Fame.

or not to move forward with designation of the property under the Ontario Heritage Act. His clients, he said, were not informed the property was being considered for heritage designation until late August – a full two weeks after they closed on the $2.7-million sale.

“They took possession on Aug. 15 and it was only on Aug. 30 that the former homeowners forwarded them a letter...that indicated that the Toronto Preservation Board was considering the intention to designate the property,” Rouleau said, noting that his unnamed clients intended to oppose that designation.

“That was the first time my clients found out it was being considered for designation, which, obviously, is something they were not able to factor into their decision to purchase the home.”

That argument, however, didn’t hold much weight with west-end councillors – many of whom expressed doubt Rouleau’s clients entered into the sale without knowing who the home once belonged to and its historical significance as such.

“I don’t know who their real estate agent was, but I find it very hard to believe that they did not know this was Conn Smythe’s,” said EtobicokeLakeshore Councillor Mark Grimes, a self-described Maple Leafs season ticket holder who currently sits on the Hockey Hall of Fame’s board of directors.

York West Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti also expressed skepticism, and offered a piece of advice to the new homeowners’ lawyer should he consider pursuing the matter much further.

“While I feel for the applicant in terms of them not wanting (heritage designation), tough luck,” he said.

“Conn Smythe is Conn Smythe. If you can’t designate a site as heritage

based on Conn Smythe, then you’re not going to be able to do it on any one individual.”

In stressing to her council colleagues the urgency of her motion supporting staff recommendations that city council state its intention to designate the property, Parkdale-High Parkdale Councillor Sarah Doucette warned that “when you lose a house like this, you never get it back.”

Her concern with granting the Smythe house’s new owners’ request for a three-month deferral, she explained, is that EYCC then runs the risk of those homeowners knocking the home down before the necessary protections can be put in place for its heritage designation.

“I don’t know these owners and I don’t know what their plans are.

They would have a chance tomorrow to go in and ask for a demolition permit (if we defer),” she said. “My point is, we need to designate this house. I am very concerned that this could be another example where this council didn’t react quickly enough to preserve...Conn Smythe’s house.”

Doucette’s motion was ultimately approved unanimously. The matter will now proceed to next month’s Toronto city council meeting.

Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been

shown to reduce the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-theline hearing aids.

Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings.

A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Women’s Habitat shelter officials recently celebrated the completion of renovations at its outreach centre for women and children in south Etobicoke.

Upgrades to the community kitchen, program space enhancements and installation of a commercial exhaust system at the centre at 140 Islington Ave. were made possible by a nearly $70,000 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant awarded earlier this year.

Etobicoke-Lakeshore Liberal MPP Peter Milczyn recently congratulated Women’s Habitat staff on their work in a statement.

“I am very happy that this grant from Trillium will allow the Outreach Centre to expand its services, which already include individual and group counselling, transition and support services, housing assistance, parenting support, programs for women, children and youth, and many drop-in programs.”

Silvia Samsa, executive director of Women’s Habitat, said the outreach centre

desperately needed the OTF grant.

The centre serves more than 9,200 individual meals every year, and did so, in an apartment-sized kitchen, Samsa said.

“It could not meet the need,” Samsa said of the kitchen in a statement. “Many of our clients have disclosed to us that these meals are often the only secure source of food in their day.

Some of our younger clients

take home leftovers to share with their families.

“We knew that without a renovation we would no longer be able to provide these meals.”

The renovated kitchen will allow the agency to expand its life skills and nutrition programming.

Women’s Habitat has provided emergency shelter to women and children who are survivors of violence since 1978. Its outreach centre opened in 2006.The Ontario Trillium Foundation has an annual budget of $136 million, and awards grants to some 1,000 projects every year.

Because family matters By discussing options with your loved ones today, you can make a final plan that respects your wishes and protects your family.

New program provides emergency mortgage loans to homeowners On November 1, 2013, Expert Mortgage launched the “85Alive”program in Ontario. The concept was simple: as long as you had a pulse, Expert Mortgage would provide you with a home equity loan, up to 85 percent of the value of your property. No job required. Bad credit, OK. The reason why Expert Mortgage could offer a “no questions asked” lending program, while the major banks could not, is that they represent over 200 private lenders who lend strictly on property value. These subprime lenders specialize in mortgage clients who have had some bad luck, and need a helping hand until they get back on their feet.

The program has been so successful that Expert Mortgage can barely keep up with the volume of calls. To help fund this unexpectedly large number of borrowers, it has partnered up with dozens more private lenders.

like Anita P. don’t see a problem with the program. When questioned on how she plans on making payments on her mortgage when she has no income, Anita responds, “We were four months behind on our mortgage and they saved our house. My husband has been unemployed for nine months. He won’t be unemployed forever. We used the 85-Alive loan to pay off all our debt. We also had $25,000 left over that we put in the bank for emergencies.

And to make life easy, they worked it out so we have no mortgage payments for 12 months.”

For more details on the ”85-Alive” program, contact Puneet Garg, Mortgage Agent 647-852-4274. www.TalkToPuneet.ca

EMERGENCY LOANS FOR HOMEOWNERS! • Bankruptcy

416-675-9489

Licensed Mortgage Agent Puneet Garg, Expert Mortgage’s “85-Alive” representative for the GTA Region, says, “We’re seeing mostly homeowners behind on mortgage and property taxes. The banks are refusing to restructure their loans. Many of these people have lost jobs due to the bad economy... or they’re self-employed. Unless you are a perfect applicant, the bank doesn’t want to talk to you.”

But not everyone condones Expert Mortgage’s easy lending criteria. A local real estate agent with 25 years of experience, who has asked to remain anonymous, says, “When this market turns down, it’s going to get ugly!

It’s utter financial suicide for Expert Mortgage to be giving money away so easily to clients without the ability to make payments. I’d be surprised if they’re still in business five years from now.”

Nonetheless, homeowners

community

Public meetings planned for proposed new developments West-end councillors voted to proceed with community consultation meetings for two new Etobicoke development applications being considered at Etobicoke York Community Council.

If approved, the first application would see the construction of an eight-storey mixed-use development at 2915-2917 Bloor St. W. in Ward 5.

The building would consist of

commercial uses at grade and 90 residential uses in the floors above.

The second application at 70 Dixfield Dr. in Ward 3, meanwhile, proposes the development of one six-storey and three three-storey residential apartment buildings, with a total of 88 new rental units.

Planning staff recommended that the public meetings for both applications be targeted for the fourth quarter of 2016.

Wesley Mimico hosts lunch program The Wesley Mimico United Church congregation welcomes back guests to its lunch and food bank programs with lunch Saturday.

“We know that many residents have low incomes and hunger is no stranger on the Lakeshore,” Harry Oussoren, a volunteer host, said in a statement.

“So these ministries – along with initiatives by other faith groups and food banks – contribute toward food justice for many struggling to live on ODSP (Ontario Disability Support

Program) and Ontario Works and inadequate minimum wage incomes.”

Every Saturday at noon, except during summer months, guests gather in the lower hall of the Martin Luther Evangelical Lutheran Church, 2379 Lake Shore Blvd. W. at Superior Avenue, for lunch and an opportunity to meet Lakeshore friends and neighbours.

The food bank is also open.

Recently, the congregation sold its church building at 2 Station Rd. at Mimico Avenue to a Montessori school. The congregation gathers for worship in the Mimico Library auditorium Sundays at 10:30 a.m. Midweek programs and meetings take place at the church offices at 2405 Lake Shore Blvd. W. For details or to volunteer, contact Rev. Joan Smith and the Wesley office at 416-251-5811 or 416-546-5737.

Fight over rail crossing not over Options for Davenport says it joined an advisory group for the Davenport Diamond rail bridge, which it opposes, to make sure the voices of its members are heard.

The group, which boasts 1,500 members, has long opposed Metrolinx’s plan to replace the Diamond rail crossing with a bridge, having commissioned its own study to point out the flaws it sees in the plan. That hasn’t stopped Metrolinx from proceeding with the project, which received official approval in August from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to proceed.

The group says having a seat at the table will allow it to continue to voice community concerns.

The advisory group next meets Tuesday, Sept. 20. assoc. says its cycList FriEnDLy wtrucking

On the day one of its members made inflammatory remarks about cyclists, the

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT Ontario Trucking Association released a statement, saying truckers need to respect all road users.

The statement came right after questionable comments from Ron Barr of the Greater Ottawa Truckers Association who said, in an interview with an Ottawa radio station this week, that bikes should not be “equal” to trucks. His comments were in response to the news criminal charges were filed against an Ottawa trucker in the death of a cyclist. usE is incrEasing on ttc wPrEsto

Presto use on the TTC is steadily growing, says Metrolinx The TTC is promising to fully phase out all traditional fares such as tickets and tokens in favour of

the reloadable fare card by mid-2017. Currently, 33 stations are Presto-enabled where there are 30,000 taps a week, and rising. More than 50,000 Presto taps are coming on TTC buses, 908 of which have readers installed.

The transit advocacy group TTCriders is planning a rally to protest anticipated budget cuts to the transit commission.

The TTC is facing a 2.6 per cent cut to next year’s budget, and the group fears such a move will hasten a “race to the bottom” for riders forced to pay higher fares for declining standards of service.

The rally is scheduled at city hall Wednesday, Sept.

28, the same day as a TTC board meeting.

Tory takes hot subway ride from Kennedy to Kipling RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Mayor John Tory fulfilled his pledge to ride a sweltering subway car and experience firsthand a trip on the congested Bloor line during rush hour.

Tory rode with Bianca Spence, a Toronto woman fed up with the lack of air conditioning on Bloor line trains.

Over the course of a summer full of high temperatures, Spence tweeted the mayor almost daily, eventually convincing him to ride with her and get a sense of what TTC riders have to deal with on a daily basis.

“I’m just a regular, warm,

sweaty, disgruntled commuter. I spoke up to the point of absurdity on behalf of a lot of my fellow commuters,” said Spence at Kipling station following her Sept. 7 ride with Tory.

“Hopefully it gave him a better idea of what it’s like on the ground.”

She said the conditions for the ride were ideal.

“It was as bad as I’ve ever seen it before,” she said. “Hot, crowded. It was absolutely perfect for what I wanted (Tory) to experience.”

Tory and Spence were schedule d to arrive at Kipling by 8:30 a.m. following their subway ride, which originated at Kennedy, at the

SAMKO & MIKO

opposite end of the subway line.

They ended up arriving more than 30 minutes late.

Describing his experience, Tory said not only was it hot, but the train experienced multiple delays.

“It was kind of a perfect storm, we had the discomfort of a hot car and a transit system experiencing delays causing people to fret,” Tory said.

Still, the mayor didn’t back down from his edict the TTC and city departments each locate 2.6 per cent in cost savings for next year.

Through the budget committee, he has mandated every department submit a list of potential cuts to

implement.

TTC brass has suggested cutting that amount will likely mean reductions in service, meaning more con-

gestion and delays.

But Tory said it was far too soon in the budget process to determine if the cuts are necessary.

Hundreds flock to Ford Fest for annual barbecue for supporters; Rob remembered wiLL KOBLeNSKY wkoblensky@gmail.com

tamara Shephard/Metroland

Former Toronto councillor Doug Ford announces the release of his new book, which he claims will expose the lies of politicians and media.

‘Ford Nation’ promises to be a tell-all book Tamara Shephard tshephard@insidetoronto.com Doug Ford promises a selfpenned book due out Nov. 22 about the Ford family will be “the most exciting book this country has ever seen when it comes to politics.”

The former Etobicoke North councillor announced the “eye-opener” book early Tuesday to a throng of media in the backyard of his mother Diane’s Etobicoke home after calling the media there for news promised to be “very, very exciting and special.”

All proceeds, he said, will be donated to charity.

The book, Ford Nation, is being billed by book publisher Harper Collins as “two brothers, one vision” and “the true story of the people’s mayor” as it tells the story of Rob Ford’s four years as Toronto’s mayor.

“No one, no media, is going

to be untouched,” Ford said of the book, in the works for more than a year. The book is penned in parts by Ford, his late brother, Rob, their mother, and their nephew, Michael Ford, who recently won the Etobicoke North council seat in a July byelection.

“There are a couple of media outlets that have told lie after lie after lie to sell advertising and to sell newspapers,” Ford said.

The tell-all book will also name politicians from all three levels of government Ford called “hypocrites” for criticizing his then-mayor brother’s drug and alcohol addiction while, he charged, not going public with their own addiction.

Ford said he will tour the country with the book “We’re going to get our story out there. It’s a good story. It’s a very, very interesting story,” he said,

The side street next to the home where the late former Toronto mayor and Etobicoke North councillor Rob Ford grew up was filled Friday evening with hundreds of people enjoying free burgers, beer and donning new Ford Nation T-shirts.

But the free festivities weren’t the only reason supporters attended Ford Fest, they also came to pay their respects to the late politician.

Ford passed away on March 22 after a lengthy battle with a rare form of abdominal cancer.

As guests lined up for close to an hour-and-a-half for barbecue at Ford Fest, both former Toronto city councillor Doug Ford and current councillor Michael Ford turned their attention from community to politics, saying there is an “inequity” between downtown Toronto and its suburb to the west.

“We need to make sure we get our fair share of tax dollars we pay in the city,” newly elected Etobicoke North councillor Michael Ford said.

“I think it’s important to invest in downtown, absolutely, but there needs to be a balance.”

Doug Ford used the proposed rail deck park downtown as an example of what he believes is uneven public spending.

“You can’t funnel all the money downtown and ignore the people in the suburbs,” he said.

Benjamin Priebe/Metroland

The subject of a downtownsuburban divide is always present in conversations with Ford Nation, but Friday’s crowd was optimistic that things might turn in Etobicoke’s favour.

Daphne Langford, who went to high school with the late Ford, expressed adulation for her former classmate and said Etobicoke was socially isolated from the rest of the city.

“Everybody’s sectioned off (in Toronto) and that’s why

I’m here tonight, because this is a celebration of Rob Ford and this part of town,” she said.

Celebrating Toronto’s former mayor was also the sentiment Carla Ferlisi conveyed as she waited in line for food.

“We wanted to share the memory of Rob Ford, we felt he was a very genuine and honest man in our community and helped a lot of people here in the Etobicoke area,” Ferlisi

said. “My son goes to school with his kids, so in memory of the kids and the family we wanted to come celebrate.”

Music blared in the backyard of the Ford family home just south of Royal York Road and Lawrence Avenue where ice cream was being handed out.

Doug Ford described carrying on the legacy of Ford Fest, started by his father Doug Ford Sr. 21 years ago, as “absolutely critical.”

Former police chief Bill McCormack remembered as loving family man Andrew PAlAmArchuk apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com Bill McCormack was a loving family man and a proud police officer.

That’s how the former Toronto police chief was remembered during a funeral service at St. Paul’s Basilica Monday.

“The two most important things in my dad’s life were family and family,” said McCormack’s son Michael, who is also president of the Toronto Police Association. “My dad is a proud man. He loved his beautiful bride, loved his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and his beloved Toronto police.”

McCormack, who served as Metro Toronto police chief from 1989 to 1995, died last Thursday at age 83.

“My father was many things to me. He was a father, a mentor, my boss,” said Michael, adding, “try to participate in a job action when your dad is the chief and let me know how that goes for you.”

McCormack leaves behind five children, four of whom became police officers, 11 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and his wife Jean.

Eldest grandchild Erin noted her grandfather was one of the most

recognized men in Toronto in the ’90s.

“You couldn’t go anywhere with that man without someone shouting chief,” she said. “It drove me crazy, and I told him he’d have to start putting a bag over his head when we were out in public.”

McCormack’s daughter Kathy said her father would “never hesitate to tell you he loved you or embrace you with one his heartfelt hugs.”

“The greatest of his loves was his

love for my mom, his family and the pride he had in being a police officer,” she added.

About 900 people, including Mayor John Tory, former mayor Mel Lastman, former premier Mike Harris and former police chief Bill Blair, attended the funeral.

“I thought very highly of him,” Harris said. “He could be tough, but he could be kind; he could be compassionate, and the men and women in the force respected him

and liked him. If I had been premier a little sooner, he might have been chief a little longer.”

Blair called McCormack a “great role model and a great mentor.”

“I never knew a man who wore their uniform more proudly than Bill McCormack,” Blair said.

Mike Sale, a retired inspector, said McCormack paved the way for community outreach.

“There was no chief before him who would go out and do the community interaction that he would do,” Sale said in an interview. “As the chief of police, he’d put his uniform on, grab a couple of people from a local division and…go walking through the neighbourhood to meet people. He was always engaging.”

Sale was a 19-year-old cadet when he first met McCormack in the early 1970s.

“He was a gentleman. He was extremely cordial,” Sale said.

McCormack joined the police force in 1959 and served as a homicide detective throughout the ’70s.

In 1979, McCormack was promoted to inspector and served stints at 52 Division and internal affairs.

In 1982, he was promoted again and tasked with establishing a public affairs unit.

“Bill McCormack was a tried and true and respected street police officer and homicide squad detective and when he moved over to community services that brought a lot of credibility to the function,” Sale said. “He was big on public education, crime prevention, community interaction and participation. … He helped advance the police force at a critical time in its history.”

McCormack became chief in 1989 and was extremely popular with the members.

“From the first day to the last, there never was a time when he didn’t enjoy pretty wide support and respect from the people on the police service,” Sale said. “He was one of the most popular (chiefs) of all time.”

McCormack also served as president of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.

In the early ’90s, McCormack founded the chief’s ceremonial unit. Members of the unit acted as pallbearers. The service’s pipe band, mounted unit and motorcycle squad also took part in the procession.

Kingsway festival returns to Bloor Street with food, fun RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Hundreds turned up at Taste of the Kingsway for some street food and revelry.

The long-time Etobicoke street festival featured fireeating buskers, live music, a midway of amusement rides complete with a giant slide, a display of classic Toronto police cars and an array of tasty and diverse offerings from local eateries along Bloor Street West between Prince Edward Drive and Montgomery Road, which was closed all weekend for the festival.

The Etobicoke Humane Society was out as well, soliciting donations for its assortment of sheltered dogs and cats.

“It’s been great, there have been so many people signing up for donations or wanting to know how they can adopt,” said a representative from the shelter, which is fully staffed by volunteers.

EHS receives no funding

from government making it 100 per cent reliant on donations.

It was also a good day for the local Conservative riding association which encouraged passers-by to sign a petition critical of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s inability to contain high energy costs.

“We’ve had a tough time at the polls last time,” said Ken Campbell of the Etobicoke Lakeshore Electoral District Association which represents the party at both the provincial and federal level. “But we’re getting ready for 2018 (the year of the next Ontario election).”

Jennifer Huggins and Virgil Barrow of the Kingsway Boxing Club demonstrated some sparring techniques.

The club has helped raise $500,000 for the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre since 2001 through its Fight to End Cancer initiative.

Huggins has trained fighters young and old, some of whom have gone on to international competitions, such
