The Guardian newspaper gets vibrant new look You may have noticed a fresh look on top of your Etobicoke Guardian today. It’s part of our affirmation to Etobicoke that the community comes first. In the past, you may have noticed the key word in our flag – or masthead as we call it – was The Guardian. Now, the key word is Etobicoke . As well, you’ll note the colourful nature of the flag – done in colours for which we believe there is a community affinity. “But the newspaper’s flag – or masthead – is only that, a graphic presentation. What really counts is the job we do covering the neighbourhoods of your community,” said Editor-in-Chief Peter Haggert. As always, we invite your feedback.

Stabbing sends two to hospital CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Two people were rushed to hospital with life-threatening “penetrating” wounds Tuesday evening after a 33-year-old woman allegedly stabbed a 24-year-old man, then turned the knife on herself. Toronto police were called to Urban Court near Islington Avenue and Elmhurst Drive Tuesday evening at around 6:42 p.m. after the male victim called 911. >>>POLICE, page 26

Kids learn important life skills on the pitch KickStart program teaches soccer training, community building CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com
I
n the short few weeks since the KickStart program began in his Mabelle Avenue neighbourhood, 12-year-old rookie footballer Dalmar Ahmed has already mastered the basics of dribbling, goalkeeping, and a few tricks to boot. While showing off ‘The Rainbow’ and a few kick-ups last Thursday, the Islington Junior Middle School student also admitted that the free six-week program – which is being offered to more than 200 kids from 10 different Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) communities – has also taught him the value of being a good sport. “I used to be, like, a beginner at soccer, because I always used to play basketball. What I’ve learned at KickStart is to be really good at sportsmanship and to be a leader,” Dalmar said during the Mabelle team’s practice last Thursday afternoon at his school’s soccer pitch. “After the games, we always say ‘no hard feelings,’ and no one gets mad at each other...there’s a lot of good leaders on our team.” KickStart – a partnership between Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment’s (MLSE) Team Up Foundation, TCHC, and Kia
Canada – is designed to teach soccer skills to kids aged six to 12, while also providing them with valuable self-esteem, fair play and leadership lessons. “We believe that sport is essential for everybody. It is one of the great joys of being alive,” said MLSE Team Up Foundation Chair Bruce Kidd. “Sports are just terrific. They keep you healthy, they help you with your school, they help you make friends, they give you opportunities to see other parts of the city and the world, they help you get along with your parents, aunts and uncles. But most of all, they are just fun.” The 200 kids participating in this year’s inaugural KickStart season hail from TCHC neighbourhoods in Mabelle, Scarlettwood, Firgrove, Trethewey, Lawrence Heights, Regent Park, Victoria Park, Malvern, KingstonGalloway and Teesdale. The young players from each community hold two-hour practices on their home fields twice a week, then all gather together on a central field every Saturday for a “soccer jamboree,” said Justin Bobb, TCHC’s KickStart coordinator. “It’s nice to take them out of their communities every Saturday. Unfortunately, a lot of our kids won’t see anything in our wonder-

ful city except for the boundaries of their community. So part of this is getting them out of their community, getting them to interact with kids from other communities and building those relationships,” Bobb said, noting that all 200 KickStart kids ‘had a blast’ last Tuesday, when they were treated to Toronto FC tickets. “While healthy physical activity is at the forefront of this program, soccer is our tool of engagement to get kids together and build stronger, healthier communities in Toronto Community Housing.” At the Islington JMS soccer pitch last Thursday, most of the
31 kids registered on the Mabelle team ran through a series of player-directed stretching exercises and drills under the tutelage of Bobb and his staff of young TCHC leaders. While optically, KickStart is about the six- to 12-year-old participants of the program, really it’s about the community as a whole, Bobb said – from the parents who spread the word about the program, to the youth who are employed to run it. “Another cool aspect is all of our program staff are young people that have grown up in our programs, and all of them have
gone through training,” Bobb said, pointing to the three youth leaders of the Mabelle team. “It’s a great opportunity because they get their CPR, they get High Five sport training, they get trained by the Ontario Soccer Association, and the Toronto FC took them through a training as well.” As the youth leaders instructed their young charges through dribbling drills, 12-year-old Bishwesh Uprety – Islington JMS’s starter goalie – talked about his introduction to soccer in his home country of Nepal and his dream of becoming a professional footballer. “I started when I was about seven or six. In my country we used to have a little soft ball we used to kick around the yard,” he said, noting that he and his family moved to Canada three years ago. “I really want to be a soccer player.” Engaging kids like Bishwesh through sport and leadership opportunities like those offered through KickStart, said TCHC’s president and CEO Gene Jones, helps make their communities “more vibrant and healthy.” Bobb agreed. “What’s neat about it is that sport is that equalizer for us all; sport is that opportunity that a kid has not to be shy and to feel successful; to go home and tell their parents they accomplished something,” he said. “We’re hoping it will build self-esteem in our young people and help to build stronger communities.”
Actor calls TIFF debut ‘a dream come true’ TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Madeleine Bisson’s big screen debut premiering this weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival is a testament to the power of pursuing your dreams. The recent University of Toronto theatre performance grad had no film experience when she joined a friend at an open casting call in Toronto last year for French director Laurent Cantet’s Foxfire: Confessions of a Gang Girl. That call led to a callback, which led to 10 more callbacks over a sixmonth period. “I always dreamed of becoming an actor. But I thought I’d go into teaching. I always said, ‘If a director told me they had the perfect role for me in a movie, I’d do it.’ And it happened.” Foxfire: Confessions of a Gang Girl premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on Monday, Sept. 10 at 5:45 p.m. at the Ryerson Theatre.
In March, Bisson landed the role of Rita Faldes, a young woman who had been abused by men who became the impetus for the girl gang. “I’m so excited for it. It’s a dream come true,” Bisson said. “I was just in theatre at school, working unprofessionally in theatre and this happened. I am so excited.” The Canada-France co-production portrays a group of humiliated 1950s’ high school girls in upstate New York that form a secret society, Foxfire, to pursue retaliation and justice against men. “Rita is the girlie one in the gang,” explained Bisson, who won the Richview Collegiate Grade 12 drama award. “I’m the only girl in the gang who wears makeup: red lipstick and black eyeliner. Rita is enthusiastic, so happy to be part of the gang. She’s the reason the gang forms.” Oscar winner Angelina Jolie played the role of Legs Sadovsky in a modern version of the film released in 1996. None of the girls saw the 1996 film in preparation for their roles at
Cantet’s suggestion, Bisson said. Instead, Bisson read author Joyce Carol Oates’ book, on which the film is based. “I couldn’t ask for a better textbook to study my character than the book,” Bisson said. “It’s a beautiful, beautiful book. The writing is so emotional. Rita really shone throughout the novel.” In one scene, Rita is raped. Bisson’s Mom, Elizabeth, credits her daughter’s theatre training with her ability to do the difficult scene. “It was very easy for me to become Rita because she is like me in many ways; she’s very perky, very lively, very loyal to her friends. But it was difficult to get into some of the headspaces when Rita had been abused by some men,” Bisson said of some of the more emotionally disturbing scenes. “Obviously, it was a hard scene to film. I put myself there, but once the director said, ‘Cut’ I could pull myself out. It shows the audience these things still happen.” In all, Cantet is said to have auditioned 5,000 girls for the film, from
casting calls to travelling himself to arts’ high schools to find young actors, with or without formal acting training. Foxfire is the follow up to Cantet’s Oscar-nominated and 2008 Palme d’Or winner The Class, which gave 20 young actors their professional debut after he posted acting workshop signs in a multicultural area of Paris, France, Elizabeth Bisson said. Some 60 of Bisson’s family, friends and former Richview Collegiate teachers will be on hand Monday at the actor’s TIFF premiere to cheer her on. Seven family members were at the cottage frantically on cell phones and computers to order the TIFF tickets once they became available. “There’s going to be a lot of Kleenex,” Elizabeth Bisson said of watching her daughter’s feature film debut. “It’s so hard to believe we’ll be seeing her on the big screen. To be able then to go to the Cineplex Odeon on The Queensway to see her when it’s released by Alliance

Films is kind of weird. We couldn’t be prouder of her. “For her high school teachers to make an effort to come see her, it’s amazing. She’s had so much support and been so fortunate.” Next, Bisson plans to pursue film training and more auditions to make casting directors familiar with her work. “If you hear of an open call, do it,” Bisson offered to other young actors. “They have to choose someone. You just never know. If your dream is very important to you, go for it.”

Share views on riding changes T
oronto residents will be impacted in a number of ways if proposed changes are made to federal riding boundaries within the city. The changes usually come about every 10 years to reflect shifts in population and ensure each riding serves an approximately equal number of voters across a particular province. What that means for Toronto is an increase from the current 23 ridings (one of which crossed the municipal border of Toronto our view and Durham Region) to 25 ridings, all of which would be New boundaries contained within Toronto. The boundary changes mean more will see Canada’s Parliament increase in size by 30 seats to power in Toronto 338. Fifteen of those proposed seats are in Ontario, which means the provincial Legislature will increase by that number as well. Torontonians need to be aware, though, that these changes reflect the continuing growth taking place in the 905 regions surrounding our city. While Toronto essentially gains two seats, the 905 will see an increase of nine. The Hamilton and Barrie areas also each gain a new seat. Federally and provincially, the gain to Toronto’s influence is tiny – but combined with our neighbours in the 905, the Greater Toronto Area’s power has grown substantially. This is hugely important for our city in areas such as transit and economic development. What is needed is a willingness for federal and provincial representatives to work together for the good of the entire GTA, not just the communities that elected them. Also of interest for Toronto residents is the impact the changes could have on Toronto Council. Redistribution would create a scenario in which Toronto Council could increase from 44 members to 50. Whether that will happen ultimately lies with the province, but the justification is there based on the number of proposed ridings. What is most needed now is feedback from Torontonians. Residents in southeast Scarborough must surely be pleased that they will not have to share their MP and MPP with Pickering; and North York residents should feel they will have a stronger voice with the addition of another riding – Don Valley North. North Toronto residents should also feel an increase in their voting power with redistribution creating a Mount Pleasant riding. Public hearings on the plans are set for Nov. 14 at the North York Civic Centre and Nov. 15 at Metro Hall. Also, contact your MP and share your views.

To the editor Re: ‘Torontonians must offer up transit options,’ Editorial, July 13. What former mayor David Miller called consultations were really just information meetings by the city to tell us what they had already decided. What makes you believe that city council would ever consider public opinions? Environment studies, which concluded that LRTs or streetcars would create severe gridlock in all directions, were conveniently ignored by city council as was a fire department report saying that LRTs would cripple emergency vehicle traffic. The editorial is absolutely right when it say that politicians are incapable of agreeing on a plan for Toronto. Karl Haab
Chicago’s waterfront a prime example for Toronto’s port lands I t was about a year ago this week, that Doug Ford started talking about Ferris wheels and monorails and gigantic shopping malls for Toronto’s port lands. It didn’t go well for him or that plan — but a year later, after having spent a few days in the Etobicoke North Councillor’s favourite town, Chicago, I can see how he got worked up about it. Chicago is world-famous for many things — the deepness of its pizza, its intricate history of crime and corruption, its fantastic architecture — but for a visitor staying in a downtown hotel, I have to say: nothing beats its waterfront. Jogging and biking trails wind up the river and along the waterfront for miles. There are marinas and parks and an aquarium. There is even a giant Ferris wheel, and yes, the view from the top of it is spectacular. Councillor Ford’s family
THE CITY
david nickle
business takes him to Chicago frequently; and it’s not hard to see how flitting between that place and the rust-belt splendour of much of Toronto’s waterfront could make a fellow impatient. Next week, Doug’s brother Mayor Rob Ford will be looking at the plan that emerged from the wreckage of the dream of quick commercialization of the port lands. Council asked for it last year — a revised plan to see exactly what the city and the development industry could do to actually make something of its waterfront. It’s not a job for the impatient. While there’s great
potential for development in the port lands — there are a total of 900 acres of land ripe for the picking — very little can be developed without some very major infrastructure. In total, the consultants hired on to look at the area estimated it will take $1.9 billion in infrastructure improvement to make the lands worth anything in terms of development. When asked, developers said even if the city sold them the whole thing for $1, they wouldn’t be able to build. As local councillor Paula Fletcher pointed out Tuesday, even Ford’s Ferris wheel wouldn’t have held its ground without $61 million in flood control work. Building anywhere in the port lands is going to take a long view. The $1.9 billion is only addressing development north of the shipping channel; the lands to the south of the channel are either leased to businesses that are likely to be
needed there for awhile. The northern development is going to take a colossal buy-in from the developers and some public-sector involvement too. It could literally take generations to see the whole thing built out. That’s not necessarily a discouraging thing; Chicago’s waterfront today is after all the culmination of a plan more than a century old, using land given for public use along the lake. The battles for a public waterfront were mostly fought in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, just as Toronto’s battles were waged in the late 20th century and continue in the 21st. Which is to say, we’ll get there eventually. There is precedent. n David Nickle is The Guardian’s city hall reporter. His column appears every Thursday. Contact him at dnickle@insidetoronto.com

>>>from page 1 express their concern,” he said. At question is the “too big, too dense and too tall” proposal put forth by First Realty Corporation – which owns Humberwood plaza – to the city back in January. The current application before the city proposes a mixed-use development at Humbertown by way of a two-storey commercial base covering the majority of the site – including the retention of existing tenants Loblaws, LCBO, and Shoppers Drug Mart – as well as five 11- to 21-storey residential towers containing 654 residential units and 28 four-storey townhouse units. If the redevelopment of Humberwood proceeds as planned, the site will see its retail space expanded by 40 per cent (to 160,000 from 111,000 square feet), its office space increased by 250 per cent (to 80,000 from 25,000 square feet), and a 180 per cent increase in its parking spaces (to 1,400 mostly underground spaces from its current 500 above-ground spaces). Cyndi Rottenberg-Walker of
‘It’s a bit like David and Goliath. The developer’s a $3.8-billion publicly traded company and we’re a mere group of resident volunteers – but we all remember what happened to Goliath.’ - Niels Christensen, HVVRA president Urban Strategies Inc., the urban planning design firm hired by First Capital, said despite the opposition to it among local residents, the proposed redevelopment promotes the concept of “complete communities.” “It’s the idea that we’re trying to build places where people can live, work, recreate and shop, all in close proximity, with the ultimate goal of decreasing the dependence that we have become so heavily reliant on – on the automobile,” she said at a community meeting in May, noting that the community will benefit from the increased mix of uses on the site, including pedestrian walkways, a day-care centre, a fitness facility, four banks, underground parking,
and new streets so that the plaza can “better knit into the fabric” of the existing community. Etobicoke Centre Councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby, however, has been fighting the Humbertown proposal since its first incarnation, calling it consistently “too big, too dense and too tall.” During the May 15 meeting of Etobicoke York Community Council, she put forth a motion requesting a “comprehensive” review of the redevelopment proposal by an already-formed working group consisting of First Capital, city planners, and representatives from six area residents associations – HVVRA, Kingsway Park, Buttonwood, Princess Anne Manor, Kingsway
Residents Against Poor Planning, and Royal York Tenants Association – over the summer months. The aim, she said, was to give all sides a few months to iron out some of the major concerns with the proposal. Christensen said that while he couldn’t comment on the specifics of what was discussed during the “confidential” working group process, “what I can tell you is that our resident’s association is disappointed with its results.” “It’s a bit like David and Goliath,” he said. “The developer’s a $3.8-billion publicly traded company and we’re a mere group of resident volunteers – but we all remember what happened to Goliath.” The city will host a statutory meeting about the proposed redevelopment of the Humbertown plaza on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at Martingrove Collegiate Institute, 50 Winterton Dr. (at Eglinton Avenue and Martin Grove Road). An open house will run from 6:30 to 7 p.m., followed by the meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. More than 300 residents are expected to attend.
City hosts meetings to explain harmonized zoning bylaw The City of Toronto’s latest attempt at a harmonized zoning bylaw will be explained in a series of public meetings this month. Amalgamation left the city with 43 different zoning regimes, each with its own rules for planning. The previous Toronto Council in 2010 approved a previous effort to combine them, but even after six years of preparation, some councillors complained the harmonized bylaw was unsuitable and lengthened processing time for possible changes. A new draft harmonized bylaw, which includes everything from permitted building heights to parking requirements, was released this June. An open house is set for Sept. 19 at Etobicoke Civic Centre on The West Mall. The entire text of the massive bylaw and interactive maps of zoning across the city can be found at www.toronto.ca/zoning

Transit riders in the dark for Internet use on subway Request for proposal issued in May to three pre-qualified telecommunications companies RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Hong Kong’s had it since 2007. New York City, London and Paris have all recently introduced it. But when it comes to wireless Internet, it’s unclear when Torontonians will join their international counterparts surfing the net, updating social media statuses or engaging in other online activities while on public transit. GO Transit and TTC say they’re prioritizing implementation of Wi-Fi. But spokespersons for both transit agencies were unable to say when exactly that will be. Malon Edwards of Metrolinx, the provincial Crown agency tasked with running GO, said Wi-Fi is a priority of the transit authority’s passenger charter, which promises riders a “comfortable travel experience.” He said a rollout is tentatively scheduled for sometime in 2013, but Wi-Fi planning is still in the early stages. “There is no firm date for implementation,” said Edwards last week. Meanwhile the TTC, which has discussed since 2010 installing a wireless network to allow phone and Internet use in the subway, plans to provide an update during a board meeting sometime in the fall, said Jessica Martin. “There hasn’t been much movement,” said Martin, who works in corporate communications for TTC. “We have limited info at the

Wi-Fi on subway trains would allow riders with smart phones to access the internet while on the go.
moment.” What is known, according to a May report presented to the TTC board, is a request for proposal (RFP) was issued in May by the TTC for three pre-qualified telecommunications companies: Bell Mobility, Broadcast Australia and ExteNet Systems, based in Chicago. The winning bidder will be responsible for designing and installing a wireless network to
work in TTC subway stations and platforms, but not tunnels. The provider would cover the estimated $50-million installation cost, in addition to an annual fee to cover operational costs. To satisfy a requirement of the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunication Commission (CRTC) customers of all available cellular carriers would have equal access to the network, no matter
which company is ultimately chosen as the wireless provider. Questions remain as to whether the wireless service will require users to pay for access or whether it will be offered at no extra cost beyond fare entry to the subway. Offering a free Wi-Fi service that requires users to watch ads in exchange for access is growing increasingly popular, with global spending on Internet advertis-
ing rising more than 30 per cent in the last three years according to a recent report by forecaster ZenithOptimedia. Over the summer, New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority is offering free Wi-Fi until Sept. 7 at six subway stations located in the Chelsea neighbourhood of Manhattan, with plans to expand the service to 30 more stations by the end of the year. London’s Underground introduced Wi-Fi to 80 tube stations during the Summer Olympic Games at no cost to users. The Paris Metro has also introduced a limited service. Whether free or not, Mihnea Stoian believes in an age of smart phones and tablet computers that it is unacceptable Toronto transit vehicles are not providing wireless connections. “I would say that not having Wi-Fi is out of step as to what we as a society expect,” said Stoian, co-founder of the transit advocacy group Commuters United, along with Nilaye Thakrar. While Stoian praised both TTC and GO for improving how it updates commuters on service changes, he said it was frustrating not to be able to enjoy the same amenities transit riders in other parts of the world take for granted. “We can’t always be playing catch-up if we want to have a worldclass transit system like in Asia or Europe,” he said last week.
TTC to make changes to ‘next bus’ information screens TTC riders may notice something different about the ‘next bus’ information posted in some stations. Yesterday, the transit authority began to inform commuters when buses are departing, as opposed to when they are arriving, said spokes-
person Chris Upfold. Upfold said the adjusted schedules will be displayed on the screens at Main Street, Broadview, Spadina, Bathurst and Dundas West Stations and at bus shelters with LED displays, which are located at Queen Street
West and Spadina Avenue, as well as the intersection of Bathurst and Adelaide Streets. The TTC plans to eventually have next bus screens at all of its stations. Upfold, TTC’s chief customer offi-

cer, said the changes were made to provide riders with more up-to-date information. Users who use their mobile devices will also be able to access the updated information via the Next Bus application or by texting their

The NHL season may be up in the air due to a labour dispute, but the Ontario Junior A Hockey League kicks off its season tomorrow with two of the four Toronto teams in action. Toronto-based teams in the 24-team provincial league include: • St. Michael’s Buzzers, playing out of St. Michael’s College School Arena, 1515 Bathurst St. • To ro n t o L a k e s h o re Patriots, playing out of the MasterCard Centre, 400 Kipling Ave., Etobicoke • North York Rangers, playing out of Herbert Carnegie Centennial Centre, 580 Finch Ave. W., North York • and the Toronto Junior Canadiens, playing out of Chesswood 1, 4000 Chesswood Dr. (Chesswood Drive and Finch Avenue), North York.
The four Toronto teams are in a six-team division, which also includes the Oakville Blades and the Mississauga Chargers. The St. Michael’s Buzzers get things going Friday, 7:30 p.m. at St. Michael’s College, hosting the Toronto Junior Canadiens. fine talent While considered a lower tier than major junior A hockey (of which there are no Toronto teams), the loop can field some fine talent especially players who aspire to a U.S. college career which would otherwise be forfeited if they played major junior A, and with up-and-coming players who may be a year or two away from playing major junior A. The Buzzers enter the franchise’s 80th anniver-
sary year with a new captain, 1994 defenceman Patrick McCarron. “He is a second generation Buzzer and a product of St. Michael’s College School and the high school teams,” said general manager Rich Ricci in an interview on the team website. “Patrick has grown as a player from when I first saw him about six or seven years ago. He has developed into a pro prospect and All Star. I expect he will gain a lot of attention this year with NHL scouts and with the Hockey Canada program. “Patrick will be attending Cornell in the fall of 2013 and will fit in nicely with their tremendous program. As a person Patrick has matured into the consumate teammate and leader. He follows a long line of tremendous Buzzer captains.”

Police classify stabbing incident as ‘domestic related’ >>>from page 1 “The caller said that a woman had stabbed him and herself,” said Const. Victor Kwong, noting the incident was classified as “domestic related,” but declining to reveal the nature of the man and woman’s relationship. Kwong said both a 16-year-old and a twoyear-old were also present at the scene, but declined to say how they were related. Toronto EMS arrived on the scene at around 6:45 p.m., and treated both the man and the
woman for “severe injuries.” Both were then rushed to the trauma centre at Sunnybrook hospital, said Toronto EMS spokesperson Kim McKinnon. The male victim’s injuries were found to be less severe than first thought, and he was treated and released from hospital Tuesday night, Kwong said. The woman, who allegedly stabbed herself in the chest, is still recovering in hospital, he added. Charges are still pending.

Three Toronto officers charged in June arrest Three Toronto police officers have been charged with assault causing bodily harm in connection with a June arrest in north Etobicoke. Following an investigation by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Director Ian Scott said there are reasonable grounds to believe that the three officers committed a criminal offence in relation to injuries sustained by 26-yearold Stalin Kiprotich during his arrest in 23 Division on June 4. According to the SIU report into the case, Kiprotich was arrested near Kipling Avenue and Finch Avenue West at around 8:30 p.m. During the arrest process, there was an interaction between the officers and Kiprotich. He was lodged in a cell, but was taken to hospital early the next morning after complaining of a sore chest. At the hospital, Kiprotich
was found to be suffering three broken ribs. As a result of the SIU investigation, Det. Const. Jason Davis, Det. Const. Keith Osborne and Det. Brian Kay are each facing one charge of assault causing bodily harm. The officers are scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 9. The SIU is an arm’s length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
n Women alerted to sex offender after attack Police have issued a public safety alert in 23 Division following the sexual assault of a 22-year-old woman on Friday. According to the alert, the victim was walking northbound on Hwy. 27 over the
West Humber Trail bridge at around 9:30 p.m. when she noticed a man following her. The man, who was walking his bike, quickened his pace to catch up to the woman, blocked her path, then sexually assaulted her. He fled the scene on his bicycle down the West Humber Trail footpath. Police describe the suspect as light-brown in complexion, in his mid-to-late 20s, 5’6”, with a medium build and possibly a chinstrap beard. He was wearing a red turban, a blue shirt with a logo on the chest, and spoke with a raspy voice. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7474, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS, online at www.222tips.com or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).
