CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com West-end councillors voted unanimously this week in favour of an “emergency” motion to explore increased safety measures along EtobicokeLakeshore’s collision-plagued Waterfront Trail. Put forth by Ward 6 Councillor Mark Grimes at Tuesday’s meeting of Etobicoke York Community Council (EYCC), the motion calls
for Grimes and members of the city’s Parks, Forestry & Recreation and Transportation departments to meet with representatives of Toronto’s cycling networks “to determine measures to improve safety for all Waterfront Trail users which can be implemented immediately.” The portion of the trail in question, between the Humber River and Norris Crescent in Ward 6, is a multi-use path, >>>grimes, page 14

TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com A hydraulic lift infamous for raising exotic dancers to the stage is now officially retired, replaced by another lift, elevating the lives of food bank clients. Etobicoke charity Haven on the Queensway unveiled its new 400-pound capacity metal lift Tuesday morning. Volunteers use the lift – as they did with its predecessor
– to transport truck-delivered donations ranging from canned fish to cereal to diapers from Haven’s main floor to its basement. There, volunteers sort, then chill or shelve it. Every Wednesday, a team of volunteers employed the previous, well-worn lift to fill and transport one food order at a time for an average 400 food bank clients. The new lift will allow two to >>>volunteer, page 16

Baby snapping turtles find refuge in Etobicoke family’s backyard pool Dozens of rescued turtles released into Etobicoke Creek
TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Turtles may be slow, but they love the water. A bale of baby common snapping turtles thought they’d found their new home – in a Markland Wood family’s backyard pool. Not five. Not 10. Not 20. But 37 at last count. Michelle Griffin discovered the first of the tiny two-inch-long brown-black reptiles with the “funky, long tail” while skimming her pool last week. ““Oh, that looks kind of different,’ I thought,” Griffin recalled. “We get the odd creature. ‘Oh my gosh, if it’s a mouse, I’m not pulling it out,’ I thought. Then I noticed it was walking. I called my husband and kids. It was a turtle.” Kids Isabella, 11, and Ava, 9, put the tiny snapper in a dish. Fifteen minutes later, Griffin found another turtle swimming on the top of the pool, and two more walking on the pool’s bottom. Another poked its head out of a plant. “The turtles seem to gravitate to the pool. It’s almost like they have a sense (to go to water). It’s quite interesting,” Griffin said. She called out to her turtle recovery squad. Dad Mike found the turtle nest in the backyard. The small hole was the size of a toonie and from it emerged even more baby snappers. “When we counted 15, we thought that must be it,” said Griffin. “But they just kept coming. We were shocked.” Isabella and Ava quickly got to work corralling the newly born slowpokes.

Isabella Griffin, foreground, Ava Griffin and Isabella Tiberia release young turtles into the Etobicoke Creek last Wednesday after the reptiles were recently found hatched and nesting in the backyard of the Griffins' Mountain Ash Court home.
“Some took a long, long time coming out of the nest, and others came out fast,” Isabella said. “We collected them in a box with rocks and water. When they came out, we didn’t want them to go to the river because they’d have to cross the golf course. We thought some animal might eat them.” Ava described the turtles as “kind of tickly from its nails when it crawled up you.” The baby turtles clambered from their nest caked in dirt. Only their eyes were visible. The girls transported each
turtle to a container of water. But it only got more and more dirty. Friends Angelica Raviele, 11 and Celia Gatto, 13, ran over as news of the Griffins’ turtle adventure spread. Soon, the girls had devised a turtle washing station using three lasagnasized aluminum trays. By bedtime last Tuesday night, the girls had scooped up, washed and housed 27 turtles in a large Rubbermaid container of rocks and water covered by a surfboard float from their pool. More turtles emerged the next
morning. By late Wednesday afternoon, there was still movement in the nest. Griffin wondered if the female will return to her nesting site in their yard to lay her next clutch of eggs. It is possible, said Lee Parker, facility manager with Vaughan-based Reptilia, Canada’s largest indoor reptile zoo. Reptilia has nearly 500 animals in 52 exhibits in its 25,000-square-foot facility. “The mom may come back. They often have multiple nesting sites,” he said, noting females are 17 to 19 years old when they breed. A single clutch is usually 40 to 50 eggs, but can be as large as 80, he added. “They spend most of their life in the water. They’re rarely seen on land,” Parker said. “We get a lot of calls about them. People found snapping turtle eggs on Centre Island on a two-lane road. They wanted to move them. But we encourage people to leave (the eggs) where they are.” It is illegal to keep snapping turtles, Parker said. The Griffins’ turtles meanwhile will live in their natural habitat. The family and some friends sent the infant turtles off on their next adventure. Toting the turtles in Rubbermaid containers, they crossed Markland Wood Golf Course after the sun set on golfers’ games for the day. Then they released them “as a family” into Etobicoke Creek. Michelle said she suspects the girls won’t struggle with their “What I Did This Summer” school essays. “Everyone will forget their European vacation. It will be all about the turtles that emerged,” she laughed. It was for Isabella. “I’m going to say the best part of my summer was when we found the turtles in my backyard,” she said. “I think we have the best backyard to play in – with a pool, toys – and turtles.”

Support healing and hope at The Gatehouse
The Gatehouse hopes to bring “healing and hope” to people harmed by childhood sexual abuse at its inaugural community barbecue this month. A non-profit centre dedicated to supporting the healing of child abuse survivors, The Gatehouse invites the community to come to its centre at 3101 Lake Shore Blvd. W. from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 13 for an uplifting day of food, music, and Chi Chong in its The Healing Garden. “Chi Chong is an ancient Chinese health care system that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques and focused intention,” Brad Hutchinson, executive director of The Gatehouse, said in a statement. “Everyone can benefit from the practise and we have found at The Gatehouse that survivors who become engaged in the philosophy grow tremendously in their healing.” In addition to the healing outdoor Chi Chong sessions led by Master Teresa Yeung, the fundraiser will also feature free music, healing stations, tours of The Gatehouse, and a barbecue. Donations are welcome, and will help fund the building of a labyrinth – an ancient model that symbolizes wholeness – beside The Healing Garden this fall. “Like Gatehouse programs, the Labyrinth represents a meditative journey to our own center and back again out into the world again with more clarity, strength, wholeness,” event organizers wrote in a release. For more information about The Gatehouse and its programs – including peer-to-peer community-based supports for children, young adults, adult men and adult women affected by childhood sexual abuse, as well as their partners and families – go to www.thegatehouse.org

oronto marks an important milestone Sunday with celebrations to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Toronto City Hall. The two half-circle towers, with the council chamber pod in the middle, that dominates Nathan Phillips Square is an iconic symbol of the city not just for residents but for people around the world. It’s one of the great things about Toronto that should make us proud. To celebrate this Sunday, there will be a free event from noon to 5 p.m. featuring entertainment by the Jordan John Band and a performance by STOMP dance competition finalists. Also taking the stage will be a group called the Clamshell Quintet, which is made up of four city councillors and a deputy city manager. Master builders from LEGO will be on hand to help residents build a replica of our view city hall and the surrounding area. Inside, there will be photoIt’s one of the graphs, architectural models and of the original furnishings great things some specifically designed for the buildabout Toronto ing. As was shown during this summer’s Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, the building and Nathan Phillips Square are an important gathering place for all residents. Whether it’s hosting special celebrations, New Year’s Eve parties, or serving as a nice place to sit and have lunch in the summer or go for a skate in the winter, the area is always busy and reflective of life in the city. It also serves as an historical reminder of pre-amalgamation Toronto as its formation coincided in many ways with the creation of Metropolitan Toronto in the late 1950s. An open competition was started in 1957 to design the new city hall, and the eventual winner was Finnish architect Viljo Revell. Ground was broken in 1961 by then City of Toronto mayor Nathan Phillips. It officially opened on Sept. 13, 1965. Along with celebrating a community gathering spot and a uniquely designed building, residents can also use this month to find out more about how Toronto City Hall came to be and how the city has developed over the past 50 years. Free lectures on that very subject are set for today and Sept. 24 in the council chambers starting at 7 p.m. For more on the celebrations, go to www.toronto.ca/ cityhall50th

Toronto council facing a busy few months Dog parks
I
t has been a quiet summer at Toronto City Hall – the kind of quiet summers we’re going to have to get used to in the years after Rob Ford’s pyrotechnic mayoralty. If it weren’t for the pyrotechnics of the federal election, indeed, we might as well all have run off to cottages and patios for August and tried to get our head around city government again. Lucky for us – there’s every indication that this new fall legislative session will be much like the old session. Council will be finetuning, reviewing and in some cases re-debating issues that have already had their day in the sun in this latest term. There will be a refined design to the Gardiner ‘hybrid’ reconstruction, that council narrowly approved in concept earlier this year. In case anyone had wearied of Councillor Jim Karygiannis’ bloviations on the Uber ride sharing service during the Pan Am
david nickle the city Games, take heart: council will be looking at a regulatory regime that will bring the popular service under something resembling control. There will be a Scarborough subway debate, perhaps, along with a serious talk about Tory’s SmartTrack proposal that will for a span align almost directly with the new Scarborough subway. If I were to place odds, I would say it’s unlikely that council will move off course on either plan. But if you were done feeling unsteady about spending all that money on such a small piece of transit, you might want to break out the smelling salts this fall. There will be smaller fights too. Later this month, the allies of the Muzik nightclub at Exhibition Place will be squaring off to deal with the Toronto
and East York Community Council’s move this week to have city staff try and get the liquor license removed from the nightclub, in the wake of the deadly shootings there this summer. Add to that labour negotiations with the city’s unionized workers and a budget debate that will once again have to accommodate both Mayor Tory’s costly service improvement agendas and his imperative to keep tax increases at or below the rate of inflation – and it’s going to be a full agenda for the next few months. It is worth noting, again, what a recursive cycle we find ourselves living. It might not be a bad thing: government is a long game, and under a serious-minded regime it can become a trifle grinding. But grinding away often creates good, smooth things. Here’s hoping it’s so.

are for pups, not picnickers
To the editor: I have an issue with people using the leash-free area at dog parks for picnics. This, in itself, is not upsetting except that the dogs all congregate where the food is and often make nuisances of themselves. In addition, many of the picnickers, being kindhearted, will give food and bones to the dogs, not realizing that cooked bones (especially chicken bones) can splinter and cause severe internal damage in the digestive system. In some cases, dogs are on special diets and should not eat the bits they are offered, but being dogs, will eat them anyway. In my case, I prefer that mine not get into the habit of accepting food from strangers. It is a constant battle trying to get them away from the picnics and back to playing. Lucie Karpinec

Damage is estimated at $1 million after explosions caused by acetylene cylinders, and possibly propane cylinders, escalated a four-alarm fire Saturday night that gutted an industrial building. An auto body shop and taxi company had operated out of the building.
Four-alarm blaze destroys Etobicoke industrial building causing $1 million damage Firefighters contend with explosions, extreme heat while battling fire in Hwy. 27/Dixon Road area TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Fire gutted a north Etobicoke industrial building Saturday night with damages estimated at $1 million. Toronto Fire Services dispatched 21 fire trucks, 85 firefighters and three aerial trucks to the cement-block building that housed an auto body shop and a taxi company on Kelfield Street in the Hwy. 27 and Dixon Road area. Many callers aler ted Toronto fire to the blaze just after 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5 due to “a lot of flames and plumes of black smoke,” said Toronto fire Capt. Mike Strapko, who was on scene until the early morning. Firefighters arrived on scene to explosions. “There was a lot of explosions happening when we arrived from acetylene cylinders used in welding equipment,” Strapko said. “We were told there was also a
propane tow motor. So there was possibly propane cylinders exploding, too.” The explosions caused the fire commander to direct an external attack on the fouralarm fire. “The incident commander decided to go defensive rather than do an internal attack,” Strapko explained. “Most of the roof collapsed, and the rear wall on the west side. Pretty much the whole building was gutted.” The cause of the “long, stubborn” fire has not yet been determined. The Ontario Fire Marshal’s office declined to investigate, Strapko said. “There was nothing they felt warranted forensic investigation.” Fire crews used heavy equipment to pick apart remnants of the building. Firefighters cleared the scene mid-afternoon Sunday. No injuries were reported. But extreme heat and
humidity over the weekend ramped up the challenge to firefighters working to knock down the blaze. Cooling chairs were set up where firefighters submerged their forearms to cool their core body temperature. A volunteer-manned canteen truck arrived on scene to provide firefighters with water. The rehab unit is nicknamed “Box 12” in honour of the fire box used in the Great Fire of Toronto of April 19, 1904, Strapko said. That unusually cold April night, Fire Alarm Box 12 was pulled at the corner of Bay and King streets to signal a fire at 58-60 Wellington St. Two days later, the fire had destroyed nearly eight hectares of the city’s downtown core. It caused losses in excess of $10 million, the city reported.

Before You Spend Thousands on a New Roof… The Integrity Roof System
What Risks Do You Face? According to the Better Business Bureau, which tracks the ‘reputable’ roofing companies, roofing is at or near the top of the list for customer enquiries and complaints for the last five years in a row. Homeowners with limited experience in roof replacement rely on the roofing contractor to recommend the proper specifications. This process becomes confusing because there is no regulation in the industry, and each contractor recommends a different job. What you should know about roof surface or roof deck preparation: The roof deck is the structural surface over which your roofing materials are applied. All roof boards and/or plywood must be fastened securely to the rafters, and damaged or rotten wood must be replaced. Your attic should be inspected before the work starts to uncover potential problems. A bad roof surface allows the nails to push up through the shingles, causing leaks. What you should know about underlayment: A complete underlay system should be applied before your shingles are installed. There are two types of roofing underlay, waterproof and water resistant. Waterproof underlay is needed in areas most vulnerable to leaks: the eaves edge of the roof; in valleys, at dormer sides, around chimneys and around skylights. Water resistant underlay, often called “tar paper”, is needed on the remaining roof area. Water resistant underlay protects the roof surface in a storm situation where a few shingles blow off, but cannot be replaced immediately.
HAVE YOU LOOKED AT ALL SIDES OF YOUR ROOF RECENTLY?

They are members of the Certified Contractors Network, have manufacturer certified installers, are fully insured and have been voted Etobicoke’s “Top Roofing Company” 14 times (including 2015).
What you should know about ventilation: Improper attic venting is a common cause of early shingle failure, and your product warranty requires that your attic have proper ventilation. Venting consists of intake and exhaust. To facilitate proper air flow, your attic needs intake vents located in the overhang and exhaust vents at the roof peak. A balanced venting system is required; otherwise air will be pulled from your house. An inspection of your attic is essential to present appropriate and complete venting solutions.
We Eliminate Your Risk!
What you should know about shingle quality: All shingles are not the same. Estimators should include at least three grades of shingles and inform you of the real expected shingle life. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, better quality shingles often provide you with the

Keeping an eye on their neighbourhood Modern twist on Neighbourhood Watch sees groups connecting with residents online CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Gone may be the ’50s-model doorstep meetings and neighbourhood foot patrols, but in Etobicoke, Neighbourhood Watch groups are still alive and thriving – albeit, with a modern twist. “We’ve taken a reality pill in terms of what Neighbourhood Watch means to communities today, because it’s not like it was in the past, where people gather on their porches to talk to their neighbours,” explained Michael Karst, who manages the Central Etobicoke Neighbourhood Watch’s online blog and social media strategy. “So the online side of what we do is an important thing, because even though there may not be your old 1950s participation in the classic Neighbourhood Watch program, there are lots of people who are keen.” Every time Karst puts up a new blog post alerting Central Etobicoke Watch members of recent crime stats and trends within the group’s boundaries (which are roughly Eglinton Avenue to the north, Royal York Road to the east, Bloor Street to the south and Hwy. 427 to the west), 150-200 visitors log on to www.centraletobicokewatch.blogspot.ca to read his updates. He attributes those numbers to automatic email alerts and notices sent out to group followers on Twitter (@CentrlEtobWatch) a n d Fa c e b o o k ( w w w. facebook.com/ CentralEtobicokeWatch). While those electronic means of pushing out information may be drastically different than the way neighbours passed along news from the community half century ago, Karst said the crux of Neighbourhood Watch’s purpose remains the same as in the good old days. “It’s s t i l l t h e c l a s s i c Neighbourhood Watch strategy: if one person on the block is keeping watch of the houses around them and across the
“

street from them, that’s four or five houses that are being watched,” he explained. “We don’t need every single person on a street participating in the group, just enough so there’s that net of people looking out for their neighbours and keeping watch for suspicious activity on their street.” Indeed, it was just such an incident that spurred Thorncrest Village resident and local realtor Julie Martin to first launch the Central Etobicoke Neighbourhood Watch back in 2011, after vandals threw her barbecue into her backyard pool and damaged her cabana. Likewise, down in Etobicoke-Lakeshore, Jaqueline Murdoch started up the South Etobicoke Neighbourhood Watch in July 2013 as a response to the rash of summertime ‘Etobicoke Prowler’ break and enters and sexual assaults that plagued residents between August 2011 and August 2014. (Police arrested 32-year-old Anieph Fitzroy Burton, and his wife, Jehanneiry Beaton, 31, in connection with the case in October 2014.) “Everyone was getting a little uneasy and it was getting awfully close to home. A 16-year-old girl was molested in her bed just a few streets over,” said Murdoch, a retired project manager and fitness instructor who lives in The Queensway/Stonegate area.

Jacqueline Murdock, Julie Martin and Michael Karst of the South Etobicoke and Central Etobicoke Neighbourhood Watch groups.
“So that’s what sparked it.” The South Etobicoke Watch, Murdoch said, started with just a handful of email addresses and phone numbers from her immediate neighbours, but has expanded “quite considerably” in both membership numbers and outward geography over the last two years. Every week, Murdoch scans the Toronto police website, the Facebook and
Twitter accounts of officers from 22 Division, as well as those of local news outlets and chat rooms, for crime stats and incidents of vandalism, break-ins, car thefts, assaults and other such crimes reported in south Etobicoke. She then compiles that information into a weekly e-newsletter, which residents can subscribe to by emailing SouthEtobicokeWatch@ gmail.com
“That way, they can at least become aware of what’s going on in the neighbourhood,” Murdoch said. “...Because of the scarce resources of the police, we really have to be the eyes and ears of our neighbourhoods, because there’s a lot of vulnerable people. The elderly, in particular, are a deep concern.” To illustrate that point, Murdoch relayed the story
of one Neighbourhood Watch member who rescued his elderly next door neighbour from a scam artist. “He noticed a car pull into her driveway and thought it looked a little suspicious, so he walked over to check it out,” she said. “It turned out, some guy had come into this woman’s house and was demanding she have this repair done and demanding her to give him $100 cash on the spot. She was lucky her neighbour stepped in when he did.” Those types of incidents, said Sgt. Jeff Alderdice of 22 Division’s Community Response Unit (CRU), highlight the important role groups like Neighbourhood Watch can play in preventing crime in their communities. “Vandalism, people hanging around, suspicious vehicles – these are things that people who live in a certain neighbourhood would more readily notice than a police officer just driving or riding a bicycle through the community would,” he said. “It’s that ‘Spidey Sense’ that only a local resident would have – that’s something we can’t just obtain ourselves.” The best way for Neighbourhood Watch groups and their individual members to work hand-in-hand with police to prevent crime in their communities, Alderdice said, is to report anything suspicious to police “right away”. If it’s a crime in progress or something of an emergency nature that requires the immediate response of police officer, don’t hesitate to call 911, Alderdice urged. “These are dedicated citizens that are concerned about their respective areas, and I think it’s something that should be spreading across the city. Every pair of eyes and set of hands that wants to increase community safety is always welcomed,” he said.

Dr. O.K. Medical & Dental Center Celebrating five years of growth to meet the needs of the Etobicoke community
T
he life of a family doctor revolves around patient care. Keeping patients healthy, or managing their health conditions involves long hours, five to six days per week – leaving little time for family, friends and their own well-being. Time is extremely valuable for most working people. A fast pace of life, huge amounts of information, multitasking and multiple responsibilities mean people require clinics which can offer wide variety of health care services at one location. This is what led Dr. Oleg Klipitch and his wife, Dr. Olena Klipitch, to open Dr. O.K. Medical Center. Starting with one doctor, one dentist and one pharmacist, they dreamed of a team of physicians able to give patients the best care around the clock. Five years later, their dream has come to fruition, with expanded services to meet their patients’ growing needs and a caring medical team that is exceptionally collegial and supportive housed in a practice Dr. Klipitch built from the ground up. “The main idea was to build a team of people who all think alike, have similar beliefs about patient care, healthy lifestyle and disease prevention. So if we need to go the extra mile for the patient, we will,” he says. The newest doctor on the team, Dr. Natalyia
family medicine at Dr. O.K. for more than two Tsay truly exemplifies that. “I could never view years, focuses on promoting health and wellmedicine as simply a job,” she says. “It’s more of being through lifestyle choices and healthy a long-term relationship.” habits.

Dr. on top of the full scope of medical care offered Tsay will also be accepting a limited number of at Dr. O.K. new patients. Dr. Bedaj and Dr. Klipitch also offer medical Dr. Oleg Klipitch, Dr. Caroline Oczachowski, treatment for chronic migraines with Botox.

On the cosmetic end of the clinic, Dr. Bedaj provides clients from the community, not just patients of the clinic, with attractive and natural results for common concerns like frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. Clients are usually surprised to see excellent results and consistently comment that Dr. Bedaj has a very light hand in administrating the treatment. Dr. Klipitch and Dr. Bedaj also offer Selphyl rejuvenation treatment — a system that uses your body’s natural ability to regenerate and

improves skin texture and thickness. Selphyl can help with tired eyes, dark circles, loose skin, acne scars and aged hands for younger and brighter looking skin with no known side effects to date. Along with the four family doctors and Botox clinic, the practice has grown to include an internal medicine specialist, allergist, immunologist, pediatrician, psychologist, weekly cardiology clinic and even a visiting neurologist. A pharmacy as part of the clinic adds significant convenience for the patients. “Our lives are so busy, and we’re juggling multiple things, so our patients like to use their time efficiently,” says Dr. Klipitch. There’s no denying the convenience of having a team of specialists on hand for consultations, assessments and even same-day referrals. Dr. Klipitch and his entire team are so concerned with patient well-being they have collaborated to add more than15 pages of the most up to date information for patients to the website www.drok.ca. Perhaps the most convenient aspect of the practice is the after-hours clinic on evenings and Saturdays. As a Family Health Organization (FHO), Dr. O.K. has doctors working evenings three days a week, and Saturdays, so patients working during the day will have easy access to address their health care needs. Dr. Klipitch counsels patients that is has been proven that visiting a walk-in clinic gives patients an inferior level of care and inferior service compared to visiting their physicians at an FHO. Walk-in clinics don’t have access to a patient’s
medical history, meaning they may diagnose a “quick fix” for your current ailments, rather than a long-term solution that takes your whole health into consideration, he says. Nor do walk-in clinics share records from a patient’s visit with the family doctor, meaning neither physician will have the complete picture of a patient’s health. As an FHO, the doctors at Dr. O.K. Medical Center are paid by the government for a basket of services for each of their rostered patients. When visiting a walk-in clinic or “outside service” for a test, prescription or check-up, it’s like the government paid twice for that service, wasting limited OHIP funds. The extra hours the doctors are putting in also help alleviate some of the pressure on emergency rooms. “Fridays and Saturdays are the most intense days for the emergency rooms,” says Dr. Klipitch. Patients who feel unwell, have a fever or high blood pressure might spend up to eight hours in an ER waiting room before even seeing a doctor. Visiting an FHO, like Dr. O.K.

Albion Sanitary Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Notice of Study Completion The City ofToronto has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study to identify long-term solutions to address corrosion problems and low flow conditions in the Albion SanitaryTrunk Sewer (STS), and to provide for long-term sanitary servicing needs within the study area. The City has accepted the consultant’s recommendations to provide for long-term sanitary servicing needs within the study area, while addressing corrosion problems and low flow conditions in the Albion STS. The recommendations include: • Abandon a few sections of the Albion STS that are inaccessible and/or cannot be maintained due to low flow conditions. • Rehabilitate a few sections of the Albion STS that will stay in operation due to local sanitary sewer connections. • Abandon a few sections of the Albion STS by diverting sanitary flows to the adjacent Humber STS by constructing new interconnections and maintenance holes between the two sanitary trunk sewers.
AND
Background The Albion STS is a 3 kilometre long, 750mm diameter, trunk sewer that was constructed in 1960s.

Toronto City Hall turns 50 DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com
Over the past 50 years, Toronto City Hall has played many roles. It’s been in the background on not one but two Star Trek series; it’s been nuked as a stand-in for the zombie-infested Raccoon City in Resident Evil: Apocalypse; and in its strangest media turn, it was central to the internationally televised tragicomedy of former Mayor Rob Ford’s term of office. But to begin with, the iconic structure of two curving towers clasping a council chamber that resembles nothing so much as a 1950s-era flying saucer, had a simpler role: the futuristic and hopeful new seat of government for the old City of Toronto. It was something that Toronto’s civic leaders had meant to do since 1943, but in typical Toronto fashion, they dithered and equivocated for more than a decade until Mayor Nathan Phillips took the reins and called for an international design competition. It wasn’t until September 1965, that the finished building – designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell – opened its doors onto the civic square named after Phillips, as the brand new Toronto City Hall. This weekend, that new city hall celebrates its 50th birthday, and it’s doing it in style. Literally. Mayor John Tory, who

moved office into the building less than a year ago, remains struck by city hall’s iconic style. “From the standpoint of external recognition, it is one of our most iconic buildings,” he said. “Internally – I think while there are Johnnycome-latelies like YongeDundas Square, Mel Lastman Square – it’s the great public space. When we talk about a World Series or a Stanley Cup Parade – the terminus is Nathan Phillips Square. And it wouldn’t be much without city hall behind it – because it’s both where we launch the fireworks, and it’s iconic.” The building is so iconic that it’s been a staple not just in movies and television, souvenirs and logos – but in spite of its obvious challenges, it alone of all of the
civic centres from the former Metropolitan Toronto municipalities was the obvious and only seat of government for the newly amalgamated City of Toronto. Scarborough East Councillor Ron Moeser was put in charge of managing the $4.8 million renovation that turned the council chambers from a space for 15 city councillors and a few city staff to one that would accommodate a council that was initially 57 members strong. “That was one of the challenges – how do we design the council chamber and keep the heritage and you know, make it something that we can all be proud of,” recalled Moeser. “I spent a lot of time with it, with the architects and so forth. The devil was in the details.” In the end, the council chamber maintained its old-school charm – remembered well by councillors like Parkdale-High Park’s Gord Perks, who began his political life as an activist. “I have so many memories of being here. I can remember being 22 years old and holding an activist thing up in the council chamber. I used to make deputations up there,” he said. “I can remember Citizens for Local Democracy holding meetings up there. Launching Kathleen Wynne’s political career.” On Sunday, Sept. 13, Toronto City Hall will be filled with displays and celebratoin telling its story from noon to 5 p.m.

Grimes wants ‘immediate’ solution >>>from page 1 “which means at any given time there can be cyclists, in-line skaters, pedestrians, children, dogs, strollers etc. all using the trail at once,” Grimes’ motion notes.
“I’ve had numerous recent reports – I’m talking 20, 30, 40 – of people getting run over. Even dogs are getting hit,” Grimes told his fellow councillors during the meeting. In response to the more than 120 instances of unsafe trail behaviour reported to his staff this year alone, Grimes reports his office has had “Slow Down” signs posted along the trail, while also instructing Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff to trim back the trail’s foliage in order to increase visibility around corners – all to no avail.
“Still, people – they call them the ‘spandex cyclists’ – continue to fly through there. Meanwhile, there are people on roller blades, there’s seniors walking, there’s kids playing – it’s ridiculous. People are getting hit down there on a daily basis,” said Grimes, before displaying a photo of one trail victim’s badly bruised leg. “We need an immediate solution to this...because it’s an emergency situation down on our Waterfront Trail.” Among the measures Grimes’ motion suggests need to be taken immediately in order to improve safety for all trail users, are: new signage, improved sight lines, and physical barriers, among others.

Haven on the Queensway’s Thelma Roskaft (left), food bank co-ordinator, and Marie Lapierre, Seniors Helping Seniors co-ordinator, cut the ribbon Tuesday morning on its new hydraulic lift. The lift transports food orders filled in the basement to clients on the main floor. It replaces a lift in a state of bad repair formerly used by exotic dancers back when the building was a strip club.

Volunteer says life wouldn’t be the same without helping ‘the poor, the lost, and the lonely’ >>>from page 1 four food boxes at a time to be moved. It will also replace a long, winding ramp, now rickety from being supported by paint cans. At the ribbon cutting, Bev Hynek, Haven’s director thanked the lift’s funders, and Haven’s volunteers: “To all the volunteers, we could never do this without them.” A Canadian government grant funded the lift and Haven’s seniors’ program through its New Horizons Seniors Program. Toronto Daily Break Food Bank Community Action Fund, and the Geoffrey H. Wood Foundation, also contributed sizeable grants to the project. Thelma Roskaft, Haven’s food bank co-ordinator, has volunteered for 16 years with the food bank dating back to when it operated out of Church on the Queensway. “My heart is with poor people,” said Roskaft, who has lived in nearby Alderwood for more than a half century.
“I love doing it. It breaks my heart sometimes. But I wouldn’t be happy if I wasn’t working with the poor, the lost, and the lonely.” A retired professional, Roskaft shared a story of wearing a business suit to volunteer at Haven. One day, a food bank client asked why she was dressed so formally. “Out of respect for you. This is how I would have dressed to meet you in my job,” Roskaft told the woman. “The next day, that same woman came in with her hair washed and set and lipstick on,” she recalled. “I always say people don’t just come here for food. They come for the love and respect they receive here.” P r e v i o u s l y, R o s k a f t donated food or money to the food bank. But working directly with clients is a richer experience, she said. “The other day, a little one gave me a high five. I took her in my arms. She wouldn’t go back to her mother,” she said. Public donations to
Haven’s food bank are welcome. Eight years ago, Church on the Queensway purchased the former strip club. Members of the congregation renovated it, initially to provide counselling for people involved, or previously involved, in the sex trade. Eventually, its name changed to Haven on the Queensway. Today, Haven continues its history of offering recovery programs including Alcoholics Anonymous, while also operating a food bank and free clothing boutique. “It’s a really, really good local thing,” said Heather Fullerton, a Haven development team member, who writes its’ grant proposals, including the one for the lift. Earlier this year, Haven received the 2014 Prime Minister’s Volunteer Award and Medal in the “Social Innovator - Organization” category.

Consumer Feature
With the support of Councillor John Campbell, Susan Quaglieri is recreating the Buttonwood Hill Residents’ Association. And she needs your help. The group will work together to give the community a voice. With new developments popping up all across Toronto, communities need to come together to keep their neighbourhoods from changing drastically. This local group will listen as members discuss their opinions and ideas and stand together on issues that affect everyone. As new developments are planned, companies are only required to inform those who live a certain distance away. This can keep other community members in the dark, even though their neighbourhood will be affected. With a community group, no one is left out of the loop. Residents who have lived in the area for a long time may remember the original Buttonwood Hill Residents’ Association. The group was created when new developments moved into the area, but dissolved about four years ago due to busy schedules. Before the group was put on hold, it was very successful. When the Chartwell Scarlett Heights Retirement Residence was beginning construction, the Buttonwood Hill group was able to use petitions and meetings with developers to get the density down from stacked townhouses to single townhouses.

ESA grad dances into first film role in Full Out Robbie Graham-Kuntz makes movie debut on the Family Channel Sept. 11 CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Etobicoke School of the Arts alum Robbie Graham-Kuntz is set to make his movie debut this week. The 19-year-old musical theatre grad stars in the Family Channel feature film, Full Out, set to air on Friday, Sept. 11 at 7:30 p.m. “It’s a great movie. I had a blast filming it, and I’m sure audiences will love it, too.” said Graham-Kuntz of Full Out, which he filmed two years ago in Toronto. Full Out is based on the reallife story of elite gymnast Ariana Berlin (played by Ana Golja, of Degrassi fame), whose dreams of competing for gold in the Olympics are sidelined by a near-fatal car accident. Injured and unable to train, Berlin is introduced by her physical therapist to the world of hip hop
dancing, where she meets GrahamKuntz’s character Adam – a dancer who becomes her love interest in the movie. Graham-Kuntz said one of the best parts of the Full Out filming experience was getting to work alongside the inspiration for the movie, Ariana Berlin, herself. Berlin not only served as a gymnastics double on the film, but also makes a cameo appearance as the assistant coach of the UCLA gymnastics team. “She was there every day on set, but there was no added pressure at all. She’s one of the coolest people I’ve ever met and she was so chill,” he said of working alongside Berlin. “She was always jumping around set being a happy, go-getter kind of person. It was nice to have that energy on set.” So positive was Berlin on set, in fact, that Graham-Kuntz said
he often forgot that the drama unfolding in front of the camera had actually happened to her. It was through hip hop that the real-life Berlin was able to gradually gain back the strength and confidence necessary to return to gymnastics as a member of the esteemed UCLA gymnastics team under the mentorship of coach Valerie Kondos-Field (played in Full Out by Flashdance’s Jennifer Beals). While Full Out marks GrahamKuntz’s first big role in a movie, it’s not his first acting gig. His parents got the budding young talent an agent by age 10 or 11, and shortly thereafter he booked his first job – a commercial for Country Music Television. “From there, there were some toy commercials and little things like that,” he said, noting that his first major TV gig was the recurring role
of Charlie on the Family Channel’s The Next Step, a show that follows a group of elite teen dancers. It was on The Next Step that Graham-Kuntz met fellow actor/ dancers Lamar Johnson and Trevor Tjordman, who also landed roles on Full Out. “It was a great time on set, with great people to film with, obviously, because they were all my friends,” he said, noting that he also went to middle school with Golja. “Overall, it was an amazing experience. It was while filming this that it kind of clicked with me that this was something I could see myself doing for the rest of my life. It was just a wonderful experience.” To watch a preview of Full Out, go to http://bit.ly/1JU7Ler

Etobicoke Friends and Neighbours...
Anxious or Embarrassed?
Do you dread the thought of having bad teeth, pain so terrible you can’t sleep, and a reluctance to ever show your smile in public but you still can’t get up the nerve to visit a dentist? I understand how that feels... I grew up with my share of teeth troubles and HATED going to the dentist. Once I became a dentist, I sought out the best secrets of melting away dental anxiety so you would NEVER have to feel that way I did. I’m the founder of Royal York Dental... a thriving West Toronto dental office and my team helps people who HATE dentists get unstuck and back onto a healthy path. We offer convenient, comfortable care (with sedation options if you’re anxious) and extended hours to accommodate you and your loved ones. Check out our web site to learn more.
Thank you for choosing Royal York Dental amongst the “Best of the Best” dentists again this year in the Reader’s Choice Awards. That’s 12 consecutive years!

KINGSWAY FACTS & HISTORY • Between 1906 and 1912, Robert Home Smith bought 3000 acres of land along the Humber River between Eglinton and Lake Ontario, which he developed into subdivisions such as Baby Point, Riverside Drive and Kingsway Park (now usually just called “The Kingsway”.) • The first two houses in The Kingsway were 43 and 47 The Kingsway, built in 1924 for Edward J. Cousins and Edward L. Cousins, father and son, respectively. • Between 1924 and 1947, 665 homes were built in The Kingsway. • The Kingsway was the first road paved in Etobicoke. • The Kingsway is wider than other roads in The Kingsway because Home Smith had planned to have an electric railway run down the centre of the street between Dundas and Bloor. • Royal York Road was named after the Royal York Golf Course, opened by a partnership between the Royal York Hotel and Robert Home Smith in 1929. That golf course was renamed St. George’s Golf and Country Club in 1946.

With September in full swing, the TTC has finally unveiled the first round of $95 million in service improvements. Thirty-seven bus routes, many of them in suburban areas, will see an overall uptick in all-day service, restoring levels to what they were before sweeping budget cuts dating back to 2012. Thirty-nine bus and streetcar routes as well as subway service will now provide allday, frequent service. The Blue Night network that operates once the subway closes at 2 a.m. also has expanded service. The improvements could come at a cost to riders. It’s practically assured the TTC will hike transit fares for 2016 partially to off-set the added expense of running the new service. TO PROVIDE INSURANCE COVERAGE wUBER
As the city prepares to commence discussions on stricter regulations for rideshare providers, Uber announced this week it has signed a deal
rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT with a Canadian insurance company to provide coverage for its drivers. While not much is known about the agreement, Intact Financial Corp will soon offer policies for Uber drivers under its belairdirect brand. The agreement also comes in advance of anticipated stricter regulations for rideshares which will likely come up for debate in city council over the coming months. Uber does cover passengers and drivers in certain situations for up to $5 million, but according to media reports, at least one former driver was planning to sue the company after his insurance claim was rejected following a major collision. HOSTS Sept. 16 ACCESSIBILITY FORUM wTTC
The TTC will hold its eighth annual forum for accessibility next week.
The event allows riders with accessibility issues to connect in public or oneon-one with TTC staff and senior executives, as well as members of the transit commission’s accessibility advisory committee. This year’s forum takes place Wednesday, Sept. 16 at the Allstream Centre inside the Exhibition Place grounds starting at 6 p.m. The TTC will operate an accessible shuttle bus service leaving Bathurst Station starting at 5 p.m. FINCH WEST LRT OPEN TO BIDS Metrolinx has issued a request for bidding on contracts related to the Finch West LRT construction project. The province’s transit planner issued a public notice for qualifications this week as a way to draw in private sector companies potentially interested in bidding for construction of the 18-stop line.

Secrets revealed to help you…
T
Beat Lower Back, Disc And Sciatic Pain Now
hankfully, new natural treatment methods help many find the relief they had been searching for. Sciatica is a painful condition that affects the sciatic nerve. The pain usually radiates into one or both buttocks, descends the back of the leg and can sometime be felt in the foot. It is often a severe, knife-like pain, but can also be noticed as numbness or tingling in the leg and foot. It is unpredictable and does not go away even when you change positions or lay down. Sciatica can result from years of poor posture, muscle strain, pregnancy, excess weight, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a very soft mattress. Sciatica is often a symptom of a slipped disc, pinched nerve or arthritis. Although pain pills may temporarily cover up the symptoms, our holistic approach can provide a more effective, long term relief. “Our team members apply their individual skills and knowledge to make an accurate diagnosis and administer the right treatment that will get the best result for each patient.”
Dr. Peter Ng has a special interest in natural pain relief and Chinese medicine.
If you suffer from chronic back, neck, arm or leg pain, call (416) 745-1974 or visit our website www.kiplingchiro.com Serving Our Community Since 1979

Rangers fall to nemesis in CNE baseball final david grossman etg@insidetoronto.com
Photos/EDUARDO LIMA
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: Etobicoke’s first ever trip to the championship game of the CNE’s venerable peewee baseball tournament ended with a 5-1 loss to their nemesis Newmarket Hawks, who also beat them earlier in the summer in a national elimination tournament. (Top) The Etobicoke Rangers’ Ethan Duliban delivers from the mound. He threw a threehitter through four-and-a-half innings and was named Etobicoke’s outstanding player. (Above) Rangers’ Andrew Forrest applies the tag at third base to Brycen Pascal.
For the Etobicoke Rangers, they see it as the game that slipped away. Talk with members of that peewee baseball team, who have an overall record of 52-7, and after shrugging their shoulders, the discussion will quickly focus on how they got to the final of the 59th annual Lions CNE tournament – only to come away without the championship trophy. The Newmarket Hawks beat Etobicoke 5-1 last Thursday. The Hawks, with 40 wins in 56 games, needed to combine some solid pitching, aggressive defensive play and clutch hitting to grind out a 5-1 come-from-behind win over Etobicoke to cap the 32-team tournament held over nine days at Coronation Park. It was also the second time Newmarket had won – but the previous time, in 2004, was when the current group were only infants. There were a number of firsts at this tournament – one of the oldest in Canada for 12 and 13 year olds – and an event that once featured Etobicoke native Joey Votto, now slugging for the Cincinnati Reds. It was the first trip to the final for Etobicoke, the first time the event was held outside the Canadian National Exhibition grounds and Will Cuylle, a 13-year-old rookie with Etobicoke, was the only player to hit a 275-foot home run that cleared the left field
fence. “We felt confident (about winning) and it was meaningful baseball to each guy on the roster,” said skipper Andrew Tulshi, who has coached for eight years, was a former Rangers player and attended the University of Michigan. “The opportunities were there, but just couldn’t get the guys on base and push them around.” The chins may have been down after the final out, the moment sombre and the stares quite noticeable by Etobicoke watching the jubilation of a Newmarket team, but it was the Rangers who led 1-0 early in the seveninning game. Etobicoke had trouble with Newmarket pitcher Brady Wagenhoffer, a former Baseball Ontario award winner and chosen the Lions CNE tournament MVP, as well as a Hawks pitching staff that gave up only four hits. With Newmarket taking the lead 2-1 in the third, adding a run in the fifth and two more in the seventh, Etobicoke staged a rally in its last at-bat as Andrew Forrest and Michael Dodaro started with back-to-back hits and none out. The balloon burst when Nate Niedbala hit into a double play and Luke Berni ended the game striking out. Etobicoke pitcher Ethan Duliban, who is entering Grade 8 and his graduating year at Etobicoke’s St. Clement Catholic School, received the Outstanding Player Award for his team.
He threw 70 pitches in fourand-a-half innings, giving up just three hits. “Sure it’s tough to lose, but it’s great to get to the final and, for me, to receive such a great honor. “We have a great team. Not too many teams can say they got a chance to get to the final. This is something I’ll remember for a long time.” Newmarket played the same Etobicoke squad in August in Windsor. That was in the elimination tournament to qualify for the Nationals held in the Montreal s u b u r b o f Re p e n t i g n y. Newmarket coasted 15-5 over Etobicoke. “(Etobicoke) is a very good team – and strong,” praised Newmarket coach Rob Hums. “As a team, we talked about close games, winning one inning at a time and let’s face it, to get to the final of (the Lions-CNE tournament) – you know the other team will be tough.” Etobicoke beat Barrie 13-4 in a semifinal game – the game in which Cuylle hit the home run. The Rangers earlier defeated North York 9-1 with pitcher Devlin O’Brien striking out 12 in five innings. In a 12-1 win over Vaughan, it was Forrest who led Etobicoke’s hitting barrage. Ne w m a r k e t c r u s h e d Scarborough 15-1, squeezed by Barrie 7-5 and qualified for the final defeating North York, 3-2, in a nail biter.

Local businesses now have a powerful tool to connect them to shoppers who are planning to buy their products. On behalf of Metroland Media and The Guardian, Pulse Research has surveyed our readers and collected indepth information about what shoppers are planning to buy in the next 12 months. John Marling, founder of Pulse Research, described Pulse of Metroland as a prospecting tool that “gives the advertising department a direct barometer of the advertising needs of businesses. This tells you what your readers are going to buy and they’re going to be buying it locally.”
Natural, earth-friendly clothing for women
"Natureal is my go-to shop. I love that I can find everything I want there."
“Knowing how many people in the market are ready and willing to spend money locally gives us the knowledge to guide our advertisers in the right direction. It really is a win-win situation for local businesses and local shoppers.” Pulse of Metroland offers detailed information to businesses in each category. For example, those readers planning to shop at a furniture store in the next 12 months indicated what they were intending to buy – living room furniture, a new mattress or an area rug.

Mercer family home from the 1800s still stands today C
lad in vibrant red bricks and standing on a knoll, the Georgian-style farmhouse of Samuel and Ann Mercer is as much a landmark today as it was when it was built in the 1820s. The three-foot thick foundation is of local fieldstone and the bricks were made on site of red clay from a small creek adjacent to the house. Samuel Mercer was the eldest son of affluent United Empire Loyalists Thomas and Susanna Mercer, who arrived from Pennsylvania in 1796 and are considered to be the first settlers in the York Mills
denise harris history corner
area. Samuel married Nancy “Ann” Anderson in Toronto in 1811, and the newlyweds moved to the western edge of Etobicoke, purchasing 81 hectares of land between today’s Eglinton Avenue West and Old Burnhamthorpe Road. With additional land purchases of 81 hectares in 1813 and 59 hectares in 1825, the Mercers soon had one of the largest farms in Etobicoke. Samuel and Ann had 11 children, although two died very young. Initially all five

sons remained on the family farm, and at least two of their four daughters remained there after their marriages.
After the 1850s, however, the children began to disperse, acquiring their own properties in Oxford, Huron
and Grey counties. Only one son, Seneca, remained on the home farm in Etobicoke until his death in 1910. Rathburn Road west of Renfor th Drive was originally named Seneca Road after him. Elmcrest Road, which runs along the east side of 72 Old Burnhamthorpe Rd., today, was initially called Mercer Road. Samuel died suddenly in 1830 at age 50, dictating his will from his bed on the same day he passed away. He left all of his property to his wife, rather than his eldest son, Thomas, making clear that if Ann ever remarried,

the property would revert to Thomas. She remained a widow, and spent another 52 years in this home, dying at age 90 in 1882. Samuel and Ann are buried together in Dixie Union Cemetery in Mississauga. Over the years, the property was gradually sold off and developed into residential housing and Centennial Park. The Mercer house was extensively and professionally restored by owners in the 1970s, and is protected by a heritage designation bylaw.

Etobicoke-Lakeshore councillor Mark Grimes won’t have to face an audit of his campaign expenses, as the city’s Compliance Audit Committee dismissed allegations that he had misreported expenses for printing, staffing, and a robocall. Gr i m e s’ l a w ye r, Wi l l McDowell, called the complaint “a drive-by smear” of Grimes, and called the complaint “politically motivated, groundless and...irresponsible.” Complainant Michael Craig said he was “flabbergasted” the committee rejected his application for a compliance audit and believed “it was a slam dunk.” The committee gave no reasons for its rejection of Craig’s complaint, which made several allegations about the veteran councillor’s re-election campaign.
Craig told the committee that he had worked on another candidate’s campaign, Russ Ford – and admitted that part of his motivation came as he believed that the alleged overspending in the close race tipped the balance in Grimes’ favour. Among other things, Craig questioned the $113 listed expense of a robocall by Mayor John Tory supporting Grimes. He also suggested that prices quoted in Grimes’ election expense report were too low and questioned why there were no payments listed for sign crews. He also suggested that a Grimes staff member may have been working for his campaign during working hours, and that another councillor was working on his campaign while also collecting a city salary. Not so, said McDowell. He presented evidence that the staff member had taken leave for the days she was
working on the re-election campaign and that there was no evidence the councillor was doing the campaign work during business hours when he was collecting his salary. He also told the committee that Grimes had used an industrial printer to reproduce his literature – which accounted for a better price – and that Tory had only targeted 1,000 households of known Tory supporters for the robocall. And he called “nonsensical” the idea that Grimes should be expected to pay campaign volunteers. Following the meeting, Craig said that he was unsure as to whether he would appeal or take any further action regarding the complaint. He is still awaiting the results of another unrelated complaint against Grimes to the city’s Integrity Commissioner – over Grimes’ appearance in a series of promotional videos for a local developer.
