Brain tumour doesn’t deter boy Family copes with SickKids’ support and resources
Etobicoke North Councillor Doug Ford said he is committed to meeting with Griffin Centre staff to “work with them” after he said at a community meeting last Thursday night the non-profit mental health agency’s new youth residence has “ruined the community”. “Absolutely, I want to work with them,” Ford said in an >>>griffin, page 31
NOEL GRZETIC etg@insidetoronto.com By all accounts nine-year-old Anthony Dookeran is a normal boy. He plays too many video games. He tries to get out of doing homework. But the misalignment of his left eye and the occasional facial twitch betray his otherwise healthy demeanor. Anthony has a rare brain tumour called Ganglioglioma. “It’s not an aggressive tumour, but a tumour that can cause a significant amount of damage, particularly when it’s located in the brainstem,” explained Dr. Eric Bouffet, director of the Brain Tumour program and one of Anthony’s doctors at SickKids Hospital. “It’s a tumour on which we have very little information about the potential role of chemotherapy.” Anthony’s mother, Ann Ramsewak, remembers him as a healthy and happy baby. The Etobicoke resident began to be concerned after a series of high fevers appeared when Anthony was three years old. “That was the last time we can say we saw him totally

SickKids’ neonatal MRI to credit for little girl’s early diagnosis of CP
For the kids

The day included hands-on workshops with artists, musicians, and performers, and brought together kids with special needs from several west end schools.
Gabriella “Gabbie” Tom is sitting on the floor of her family room in her Humber Bay home playing with “Puppy,” her brown stuffed dog with the green polka dotted chapeau. “Don’t sit in a ‘W’, Gabbie. Remember how to sit with your legs crossed,” her mom, Angel Chu-Tom gently reminded her only child. Nearly four, Gabbie is a going concern. She crawls around the floor at lightning speed and chats up a storm. “One day, I’m going to be a ballerina!” Gabbie exclaimed. Today, no one would guess Gabbie was born prematurely at 28 weeks weighing just two pounds. Once stabilized, the preemie was immediately placed into an incubator and rushed by a neonatal medical team to The Hospital for Sick Children in downtown Toronto. Premature babies sometimes forget to breathe. Each time little Gabbie stopped breathing during her two-month SickKids’ stay, a bedside alarm sounded and a NICU nurse would rush in to stimulate her to breathe again. Gabbie’s SickKids’ neonatologist Dr. Linh Ly, medical director of SickKids’ Neonatal Follow-up Clinic, enrolled Gabbie in a MRI research study of preterm infants out of concern her repeated stopped breathing may have caused some brain injury. Gabbie had two MRIs: one at birth, another around the time of her due date. MRI detected mild CP Thanks to the MRI scans, doctors diagnosed Gabbie early with mild cerebral palsy (CP). A spectrum disorder, CP is a condition in which injury to a developing brain causes a lack of muscle control. Every child with CP is unique. “MRIs are helpful because they provide much more detailed information on the brain than an ultrasound,” Ly explained. “We can give the family that extra information, which will guide treatment and care plans.” Babies brains are “plastic,” Ly said, explaining that while any brain injury

won’t heal itself completely, there is much potential for other parts of the brain to take over the functions of the damaged part of the brain. The area of the brain that sustained injury guides doctors to predict how that damage will impact the child. In Gabbie’s case, her motor function is delayed. She wears AFOs or ankle-foot orthotics to help her stand and walk. She has seen an occupational therapist regularly at SickKids to help her develop core strength and learn to sit, stand and eventually walk without supports. Ly said she is confident Gabbie will go on to do everything other children do. “Gabbie will always have CP,” Ly said. “We focus on what she can do, her potential to be independent in her daily life. Gabbie has done remarkably well. She will be able to meet her potential to do all the things other children are able to do, it just may take her longer. “She’s coming along beautifully.” Following Gabbie’s birth, the knowledge shared by SickKids’ doctors and nurses helped calm the new parents’ worry and stress. “SickKids’ doctors told us from Day One, ‘It’s not a race. It’s a journey. We don’t know how she is going to be in 10 or 15 years. You take it day by day.’ They’re really good at level-setting expectations,” said dad Galen Tom.

“We’re not unlike other parents who face ups and downs and challenges,” Chu-Tom added. “Gabbie’s challenge is her motor development. Her cognition, socialization and language are all fine. We’re very thankful Gabbie got help and a diagnosis very early. She was able to start physiotherapy at eight months to learn to roll over and sit up.” Tom called “invaluable” SickKids’ “circle of support,” which gave the parents referrals to physiotherapy, even a school where she’ll start kindergarten this fall. The grateful parents said they were pleased to lend their story and support to a SickKids Foundation campaign launched last fall in partnership with the Chinese-Canadian community to raise $2.5 million in support of a new infant MRI scanner for SickKids NICU. Babies in the NICU must receive MRI scans within a specific window of time to be “optimally assessed for possible brain damage and recovery options,” SickKids Foundation said in a statement. SickKids is actively seeking donor support for the priority project. To donate, email conny.lo@sickkidsfoundation.com or call 416-813-5237.

Growing healthier children now will save grief later in life
Write us
C
anadians believe our youth do not have a healthy lifestyle. We are twice as concerned about obesity in our youth, than any other health risk. That says a lot about the physical conditioning of our youth. But it also says there is hope for our youth – if we heed the warning signs and act now. It’s Healthy and Happy Month (healthyandhappy. com) at The Hospital for Sick Children and this year the theme is centered around prevention of youth health issues. Growing healthier children now will save much grief later in life when they become unhealthy adults fallen victim to many of the bad decisions made when young. And all of this is increasingly taxing on the health care system – overburdened and underfunded given increasing demands. The hospital – affectionately our view known as SickKids – conducted and here’s an example Statistics show aofsurvey, what they found. • 56 per cent said society must children are do everything it can to improve less active the lifestyle of today’s children. • Bullying, obesity, child abuse, alcohol/drug abuse, suicide, depression all rank high in the minds of Canadians. • 78 per cent say children today are getting less exercise compared to their own childhood. • 65 per cent say children today have poorer eating habits. • 59 per cent say children are receiving less nutritional value in what they eat. • Mental illness is the second most concerning illness among young people. Add to the fact that UNICEF ranks Canada 27th out of 29 industrialized nations on obesity. When that stat was shared, 21 per cent of Canadians said it motivated them to personal action. That would amount to a significant amount of action, but it’s not enough. We hope through the stories you read in today’s themed edition and the stories you read online at www.insidetoronto.com or www. etobicokeguardian.com, you too will be motivated to help preserve the health of young people who are part of your world. This may be the first generation of Canadians who do not live as long as their parents. That’s a hard concept to accept in a society where we generally are able to control many of the threats to our children’s health. We must not let that happen.

Doug Ford not the only one offering poisonous sentiments on Griffin Centre
W
hilst his brother cavorts about cottage country on day-passes from addiction rehabilitation, it’s reassuring to see that Etobicoke North Councillor Doug Ford is keeping up the Ford name and all it stands for here in the city. As The Etobicoke Guardian’s Tamara Shephard reported last week, Doug Ford showed up – late – for a meeting at Toronto police’s 23 Division, to take on the Griffin Centre, a home for developmentally disabled youth on behalf of its angry neighbours. According to Shephard’s report, Ford told the staff of the centre that they had “ruined the community” in the Kipling Avenue and West Humber Boulevard area. The two-month-old centre is a house, where four youth – some with autism – live under supervi-
david nickle the city sion. Some of the youth have behavioural issues that manifest in outbursts sometimes requiring police to attend. The staff at the centre sometimes park on the street. Sometimes, the youth who live in the centre are permitted outdoors. It was this last point that seemed to shock the councillor, who Shephard quotes thusly: “You can’t destroy a community like this. People have worked 30 years for their home... My heart goes out to kids with autism. But no one told me they’d be leaving the house. If it comes down to it, I’ll buy the house myself and resell it.” Despite the comments, on Wednesday he told The Guardian he was committed
to working with the centre on a resolution. It’s difficult to know what to say about Doug Ford and his mayor-brother Rob anymore. They have so debased the public discourse in the past year, that even when one of them passes an evening stirring up an angry crowd to run a house for disabled youth out of town, it’s hard to properly admonish him. The men are scoundrels. We know it and they know it too. But let’s leave Doug alone a moment, and ponder some of the other comments that Shephard collected last Thursday night from those in attendance. “This is not a place for mental people. This is a residential area. Why don’t you build a house out on a farm?” “When my child says, ‘Mommy, why are there police here again?’ What do I say?”
“This is a community for people, not for that.” Councillor Ford’s remarks ride the crest of that wave of unfortunate NIMBY-ism – and one might argue that his and his brother’s reign at Toronto City Hall these past three and a half years were propelled by the same poisonous sentiment. In October, odds are good that voters from most of Toronto will send the brothers Ford from Toronto City Hall – probably for good. But the insular, fearful, uncompassionate and fundamentally selfish sentiment on display at 23 Division last week – the sentiment that allowed the Fords in to begin with... it will take a great many years to rid ourselves of that.

‘Sickness brought us closer as a family’ >>>from page 1 said. “We went through a lot of different emotional stages... From the moment Anthony was booked for the biopsy, SickKids was very supportive. They really covered all the basis.” Anthony’s team included child life specialists and social workers, who helped Ramsewak navigate the tricky journey of raising a sick child. From responding to people’s unsolicited advice to nurturing healthy siblings, the family says it was supported every step of the way. Today Anthony is off chemotherapy, but is monitored every three months to check for any further growth. It’s a wait and see kind of game. As Dr. Bouffet described it, the location of the tumour renders it inoperable, and there are only two treatment options in a case like this: chemotherapy or radiation. The latter is too aggressive for kids as young as Anthony.
buying time “Treatments such as radiation in a child who was three years old, would have had significant and devastating consequences because of his growing brain,” Dr. Bouffet explained. “So that’s a win-win situation where we can buy time (with chemotherapy) and delay the initiation of a treatment that would have significant side

I was lucky to start my treatment at a time when great advancement had been made...I hope that we all can make a difference and help other children of future generations by finding a cure for all brain tumours. – Anthony Dookeran, 9
effects.” His clinical research has focused on developing new treatments and testing new drugs for pediatric brain tumours. Dr. Bouffet’s research with a particular drug, Vinblastine, made it possible for Anthony to receive the treatment to stop the tumour in its tracks. “What we want of the chemo is to switch off the tumour,” Dr. Bouffet said. “It’s too early to tell if this is a done deal, but it’s clear that with the chemotherapy that Anthony has received we’ve been able to change the natural history of this tumour.” It was good news for Anthony’s family. Although he still lives with the tumour, he is able to function in school, with friends, at home, and live a relatively normal life.
He attends camps with children who have similar stories and has plans to start swimming and basketball this year. “Sickness brought us stress, trials and tribulations, but it also brought us closer as a family,” Ramsewak said.

meagan’s walk For the past two years Anthony and his family have participated in Meagan’s Walk, a five-kilometre walk to raise awareness and generate support for children with paediatric brain tumours. The annual event has so far raised more than $3.1 million in support of research at SickKids. This year, Anthony was featured as a speaker at the accompanying ceremony, where his words no doubt echoed the thoughts of many families going through similar journeys. “I am told there is no cure for brain tumors. This is why research makes a difference in my life. I was lucky to start my treatment at a time when great advancement had been made...I hope that we all can make a difference and help other children of future generations by finding a cure for all brain tumours.”

survey, 79 per cent of adults 55 and older think children’s lifestyles are not as healthy today as compared to their own childhood. That belief – and actuality - needs to be reversed.

You’ll find them all, gathered at bit. ly/SeO3ai at www.theetobicokeguardian.com SickKids provides leadership in many programs aimed at creating a healthy lifestyle for youth, the stories of which you’ll find in either this edition or our online collection. And leadership begins a t t h e t o p. Si c k K i d s Foundation CEO and President Ted Garrard even shared his personal story online – a compelling tale of a young person and how a sedentary lifestyle threatened his future health. In 2013, the number of visitors to our online story collection told us the work of SickKids was important
to you. We know you’ll find this year’s collection just as compelling; just as sobering. Whether someone works at SickKids or someone works at this newspaper – we are all parents, grandparents or friends who need to encourage our youth to stay active and make the investment in health today to help provide a long healthy life in the future. We hope you join us in supporting the cause of healthy, happy children. We encourage you to read this edition and visit the online collection of stories.

When Wilbur the cat disappeared in May 2010, Blair Streeter’s normally comedyfilled home in Etobicoke went from laughter to disaster. Now, four years after Wilbur’s return, Streeter and his fellow stand-up comedian wife, Marianne Gibson, are set to co-host CAT-ACULAR, a comedy fundraiser benefitting the local cat rescue organizations that helped reunite them with their beloved pet. For two frantic weeks in 2010, Streeter and Gibson scoured their West Mall and Rathburn area home and the surrounding neighbourhood for their 12-year-old Cornish Rex, going so far as to plaster more than 300 posters bearing Wilbur’s image in communities as far away as Mississauga. “I was a 38-year-old man at the time and I was crying every day in a panic, and running around the neighbourhood every night,” Streeter said, noting his kids Ocean, then six, and Benny, then eight, were equally distraught by the loss of their beloved indoor cat. After two weeks of prank calls and disappointments, Streeter said his family had all but given up hope when they received news of a blog post written by Toronto Cat Rescue volunteer Beth Turner, trying to find a home for an unknown Cornish Rex who had been brought into the Hamilton Humane Society a few days before. A rare and distinctive breed of hairless cat, the report of a Cornish Rex being found proved too much of a coincidence for Streeter not to investigate further – even though he had grave doubts his family’s slight, 6.5-pound cat could have travelled a full 65 kilometres from home in the mere two weeks Wilbur had been missing. “I didn’t believe it until he was in my hands. I just couldn’t accept it, because too

Wilbur the cat, who went missing in May 2010 for two weeks, was reunited with Etobicoke owners Ocean and Benny Streeter, then six and eight, thanks to the help of several GTA cat rescue organizations. The pair’s parents host CATACULAR, a comedy fundraising event benefitting Toronto Cat Rescue and Forever Home Cat Rescue, May 30.
many times we were tricked by prank callers,” he said. “It was rough, but we kept at it, and through the miracle of the Internet, got Wilbur back. The gods of the Internet were looking down on us.” Pay it forward Streeter, Ocean and Benny were reunited with Wilbur – who, after losing more than two pounds during his twoweek journey from Etobicoke to Hamilton, was recognizable to Streeter only by a black spot on his left paw – in Markham, where the Forgotten Ones Cat Rescue had covered his veterinary care. “He looked at me as if to say ‘Oh great, you again,’” Streeter joked of the reunion. “He could barely lift his head, he was exhausted. When I asked what we owed for his vet bills, I was told that the cat rescue doesn’t charge for that; they’d even microchipped him. “To say we were grateful would be a huge understatement.” To show just how grateful they were, Streeter and Gibson hosted a comedy fundraiser benefitting local cat rescues in 2011 in Mississauga – a successful event they’re hoping
to replicate on Friday, May 30 at CAT-ACULAR. The comedy fundraising event, which will be headlined by stand-up comedy Kenny Robinson will take place at 9 p.m. at Etobicoke’s newest comedy venue, Comedy Cove, at Maple Leaf House Grill & Lounge, 2749 Lake Shore Blvd. W. Tickets to CAT-ACULAR are $15 online at brownpapertickets.com or $20 at the door, and will benefit the Toronto Cat Rescue and Forever Home Cat Rescue. As for Wilbur, now 16, Streeter said he and his family have given up trying to figure out how he got all the way to Hamilton – they’re just thankful to the local cat rescue organizations who helped him return home, and hoping to pay forward that kindness with the CATACULAR fundraiser. “We’ll never know for sure – I’ve asked (Wilbur) how he did it a few times and he keeps giving me different stories,” Streeter joked. “We were so grateful to have him back, though, we knew we had to do something,” he added.

Doors open on new Kipling Acres long-term care home The ribbon was cut on the first phase of the new, improved and fully accessible Kipling Acres this week. As one of the City of Toronto’s 10 long-term care homes, Kipling Acres is in the midst of being redeveloped in order to meet provincially mandated, modern long-term care facility design standards and to provide greater wheelchair access for residents in private and public areas. Caring for seniors “Kipling Acres has been an important part of the North Etobicoke community for 55 years,” Etobicoke North Councillor Doug Ford said in a statement. “With the new renovations and improvements, Kipling Acres will be able to continue to provide care for our seniors for decades to come.” The first phase of the new home offers 192 long-term care beds in spacious private and semi-private rooms that include access to an ensuite washroom, heated floors, a built-in closet and a window. Other features include a public art display, a secure courtyard, bird-

The second phase is expected to open in 2016. Capital funding for the redevelopment project is being provided by Toronto and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, as
part of the government’s long-term care home renewal strategy.

Griffin Centre staff “taken aback” by angry residents >>>from page 1 interview Wednesday. “I want to sit down with them. Hopefully, we can come up with a resolution. My office will be in touch with the Griffin Centre in the next day or two to set up a meeting.” Ford has faced a firestorm of controversy since The Guardian reported on last week’s raucous and heated public meeting during which many angry and anxious residents, and Ford, told Griffin Centre staff they were not welcome in the north Etobicoke residential community. In mid-March, the nonprofit, multiservice mental health agency opened a residential home and services with 24-hour care to three youth ages 12 to 16 with developmental disabilities, mental health challenges and autism on Jeffcoat Drive in the Kipling Avenue and West Humber Boulevard area in Ford’s ward. On Wednesday, Ford laid blame for the Griffin Centre’s move into the community on the Ontario Liberal govern-
ment. The government closed the Thistletown Regional Centre where the Griffin Centre youth, and many others, had lived. Thistletown Regional Centre had been a provincial government-operated children’s mental health centre with specialized services and community supports for children, youth and families with complex mental health, behavioural or developmental challenges. Some 60 angry and anxious residents packed last week’s meeting organized by Ford’s office expressing fear and concern over frequent police and paramedic calls to the address and taking issue with centre staff parking on the street. “This is not a place for mental people. This is a residential area. Why don’t you build a house out on a farm?” one man said. “What do I say to my three kids under the age of seven when one of these kids freaks out?” asked one
“
We would like to see an opportunity to start to develop a relationship with that community. To us, that is really what is most important. – Deanna Dannell, director of youth and family support services, Griffin Centre
woman, who declined to give her name. “When my child says, ‘Mommy, why are there police here again?’ What do I say?” David Melgarejo lives next door. “The solution is for them to move out. Locate the facility in another place. This is a community for people, not for that. I have nothing against the kids. If the kids need help, they need help,” Melgarejo said in an interview. Deanna Dannell, Griffin Centre’s director of youth and family support services, told The Guardian Wednesday
she and her colleagues were “taken aback” at the meeting by the angry, outraged reaction of residents and “disappointed” by Ford’s comments and handling of the meeting. Griffin Centre staff had “a number” of communications with Ford before the home opened to explain “who we are, what we do and who we support,” she said. “We were hoping (Ford) would be able to negotiate a different position in that meeting to provide a forum for the community to speak and for us to be able to respond so we could address some of those folks concerns. That didn’t happen,” she said. Within 10 minutes, residents interrupted Dannell’s presentation, after which the meeting devolved into angry outbursts and accusations. Midway through the hour-long meeting, Ford said: “You may not like this. You can call The Toronto Star. But I need you to leave my community.” Social media lit up over
the weekend ignited by the controversy as community members, politicians, and mental health agencies condemned Ford and some of the residents for their remarks in the public meeting. Last weekend, Griffin Centre staff were inundated with media calls for comment, calls and emails of support from the public, as well as donations. “It has been amazing for us as an agency to see the positive responses not just around that program, but for individuals who need somebody to be their voice, those with autism and developmental disabilities,” Dannell said. Dannell reiterated that police calls to the address have been more frequent than usual, saying the special needs-youth face transitional stress and challenges in their ability to manage different and new situations. “Moving has certainly increased the stress of some of our clients,” she said. “All the emergency services calls were made in the context of lend-
ing support and safety to our program. Understand these are mental health issues.” Dannell had explained this at the meeting last week. Youth are not criminals, as one man asked, nor are they sex offenders, as Ford asked. Since the meeting, the centre has been preparing a fact sheet to distribute to neighbours. The community will also be invited to an open house, she said. “We would like to see an opportunity to start to develop a relationship with that community. To us, that is really what is most important,” Dannell said. Griffin Centre has “good relationships” with its neighbours in four other communities in the city and in Richmond Hill, she said. “We’ve had great experiences. Our neighbours at our other programs have been great, amazing.”

Labour agreements made between four unions, TTC The TTC has reached labour agreements with four unions representing about 10,000 of its employees. The new four-yearcontracts with the unions – including Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) 113 – were settled without proceeding to arbitration for the first time since 2008, notes a press release issued by the TTC over the Victoria Day weekend. Not many details are known about the new deals, although vehicle operators, fare collectors as well as maintenance workers will receive a pay raise of just over eight per cent over the life of the contract. Metrolinx tempers its communication wMetrolinx has toned down
its communications with the provincial election campaign in full-swing. The agency tasked with coordinating regional transit planning within the Greater
rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) has reduced its usual volume of press releases and social media postings until after the Ontario election, scheduled for June 12. Until then Metrolinx, like other provincial departments, will limit communications to “emergencies, statutory requirements, public health advisories and time-sensitive matters”. The agency already postponed a planned public meeting in Weston earlier this month on the ongoing construction work taking place along the Georgetown South GO rail corridor. closures begin on Lake Shore BLVD. wlane
Lake Shore Boulevard lane closures began this week
and will stay in place until the middle of July as the city undertakes “critical” utility work in advance of next year’s Pan American Games. Starting May 21, westbound lane closures are scheduled in the areas from Yonge to Rees Street, Bathurst Street to British Columbia Road and from Parkside Drive to Windermere Avenue. Eastbound lane closures are also scheduled between British Columbia and Lower Spadina Avenue. The closures are planned to take place mostly outside rush hour, as well as weekends and evenings. A press release regarding the planned work states the work must be completed before the start of road resurfacing on Lake Shore, which also begins in July.

HISTORICALLY, ETOBICOKE-LAKESHORE has flipped provincially from a Liberal- to Conservative-held riding in recent decades. The notable exception is Ruth Grier, a New Democrat who represented the riding in the 1990s and was environment minister in the Bob Rae Ontario NDP government. The upcoming June 12 Ontario election features a rematch of last year’s pitched byelection battle between two former Toronto City Council colleagues: Doug Holyday and Peter Milczyn. Two other 2013 byelection candidates are also in the race: New Democrat P.C. Choo and Green Party candidate Angela Salewsky. Also running is Dan King of The Party for People with Special Needs.

■ A top priority for Etobicoke-Lakeshore is development that makes sense. We have had numerous consultations about projects going up, but the unaccountable Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) too often overrules local decisions. The Wynne government pledged to reform the OMB but broke their promise. Instead, they teamed up with Tim Hudak to defeat Bill 20, the NDP’s proposed legislation to free Toronto from the OMB. I believe residents must have a meaningful say in the development of their communities.
■ Families need transit relief. I don’t think we should be wasting time and money stuck in gridlock or crammed together like sardines. I’m running for the NDP because they’re the only party that will deliver results. We will improve transit services, deliver clean trains, get shovels in the ground on the relief line and reinvest in the Lake Shore streetcar. The Liberals refuse to even fund these projects. We can’t keep waiting. It’s time for transit relief in Etobicoke.
■ Like many residents of Etobicoke I came to this country to seek a better life. Part of that bargain means helping to improve my community. I have shown my ability to balance the books both as an Etobicoke public school trustee and on the University of Toronto Board of Governors. When our tax dollars are wasted, that is outrageous. The Liberals have shown the opposite sensibility with scandals such as the gas plants, eHealth and Ornge.
■ Too many Ontarians are struggling to find jobs and make ends meet. While Tim Hudak’s idea is to cut 100,000 jobs to create jobs and Kathleen Wynne’s plan is to hand over an additional $2.5 billion to business with no strings attached, I would work with the NDP to create up to 170,000 jobs with a Job Creator Tax Credit for small businesses. It just makes sense — create a job, get a tax credit. Don’t create a job? Don’t get a tax credit.
■ Outside of the main issues as announced by Tim Hudak, the local issues mainly fall under the purview of the city. A) Support relocating the Judson Street Ready Mix Cement plant; B) Support constrained further condo development at Humber Bay Shores; C) Support helping Outreach Store at Stonegate Plaza to be located in new development; D) Hopefully the Vincent Massey Day Care can be saved with city help; E) I am participating in association with MP Bernard Trottier in a program called Gems of Etobicoke-Lakeshore 2014.
■ First of all, we will put the province in charge of all rail-based transit and major highways in the GTA. Our plan will finally give subway riders room to breathe with a new east-west express line connecting Toronto’s downtown with Etobicoke in the west and Scarborough in the east. And we will do this without raising taxes. We will also expand major highways and GO Transit. Our action plan will produce 96,000 jobs and get the GTA moving again.
■ I am a strong fiscal conservative with a record of making government work efficiently and effectively. As the former Mayor of Etobicoke and Toronto City Councillor, I have worked tirelessly to make sure taxpayer money is spent wisely. Most recently, as deputy mayor of the City of Toronto, I negotiated reasonable salaries for city workers, instituting more efficient and less expensive garbage collection and balancing budgets. I have lived my entire life in Etobicoke, first as a businessman then as a politician, I know people here.
■ Job creation is key to economic development. We will open up skilled trades opportunities for youth in Etobicoke-Lakeshore and across the province by changing the journeymanapprenticeship ratio from 5:1 to 1:1, and abolish the restrictive Ontario College of Trades, another unnecessary bureaucracy created by the Liberals. Unemployment in the riding is far too high; and youth unemployment is worse. Having a job is the first step in building self-confidence and pride of accomplishment.
■ I am committed to the development of a Kipling Transit Hub, and the addition of a GO Station at Park Lawn. Transit investments aren’t just about moving people, they are about economic growth. It’s important that local leaders envision local solutions and find ways to implement them. Our community needs an MPP with creativity and originality to deliver these made-in-Etobicoke-Lakeshore solutions.
■ Investing in transit and infrastructure is at the crux of Moving Ontario Forward — to create jobs, boost productivity and help every part of Ontario grow and prosper. As a champion for local transit and infrastructure in Etobicoke-Lakeshore, I am committed to rolling out the electrification of GO Transit and working to secure a GO transit terminal in the Park Lawn area.
■ Born and raised in south Etobicoke, I currently live in the Sunnylea neighbourhood with my wife and daughter. After graduating from Etobicoke Collegiate, I obtained a degree in architecture from the University of Toronto and formed a firm focused on the non-profit housing sector. First elected as councillor with the former City of Etobicoke in 1994, I have represented Ward 5 for over 14 years and ran provincially for the Ontario Liberal Party in the 2013 Etobicoke-Lakeshore byelection.
■ I have always supported local businesses to help them succeed. The Jobs and Prosperity Fund will help secure a bright future for residents. Working to strengthen and protect local economic drivers such as the Ontario Food Terminal, the film and television production sector and start-up’s in the agri-food sector is critical for economic development in this community. Investing in smart partnerships with business will ensure Etobicoke-Lakeshore remains a desirable location to set up shop.
■ Replace the Ontario Municipal Board with Community Boards, as done in New York. The OMB statistically rules in favour of developers in communities where developers appeal official plans and height restrictions. Community Boards give communities oversight of development issues from the start. Bill 20, advocating release of Toronto from the OMB, was defeated by Conservative and Liberal MPPs in spite of an open letter from Mimico Residents Association requesting support for it.
■ Create a dedicated transit fund so we can make necessary improvements, such as revisiting the plan for a rapid transit line linking south Etobicoke to Union Station, or reinstating and extending the 507 streetcar linking Long Branch to Dundas West station. We need a second GO Station/stop at Humber Bay to accommodate population growth. Also, call on the federal government to participate in a National Transit Strategy. Canada is the only OECD country without one.
■ I have lived in Etobicoke-Lakeshore with my family since 1997. I have been the Green Party of Ontario candidate for EtobicokeLakeshore since the last provincial general election. I am the Intergovernmental Affairs critic in the Shadow Cabinet and a board member of the Lakeshore Planning Council. I have an Honours B.A. from the University of Waterloo. As a Business Development Manager, my job entails listening, understanding, evaluating and delivering — necessary skills for an MPP.
■ First we need to ensure our employment lands, such as the Christie’s site, remain protected from conversion to more condo development. Second, small businesses foster entrepreneurship and innovation. Since they are the real job creators in our communities, not corporations, our platform includes reducing small business payroll taxes by doubling their health tax exemption. Businesses can then double their payrolls without paying taxes on those jobs. Improving transit will also attract more businesses here.

The Lightweight E-type is reborn Jaguar will build six perfect reproductions of the original, race-bred Lightweight E-type that was created in 1963. The new cars are the ‘missing’ six vehicles from the brand’s Lightweight E-type project, which originally started in February 1963 with the objective of building 18 ‘Special GT E-type Cars.’ Only 12 of the aluminum bodied Lightweight E-type vehicles were eventually built, the last in 1964, the remaining six designat-
ed chassis numbers having lain dormant, until now. The new cars will be handbuilt in-house by Jaguar’s finest craftsmen. Each car will be constructed to the exact specifications of their original 1960s forebears – including the 3.8-litre straightsix engine. The Lightweight carried approximately 114kg (250lb) less weight than a standard E-type, thanks to its all-aluminum body
and engine block, a lack of interior trim and exterior chrome work and a host of further weight-saving features including lightweight, hand-operated side windows. Jaguar expects a high demand for the six Lightweight E-types. Established Jaguar collectors, especially those with historic racecar interests, will be prioritized among those potential custom- Jaguar will build six brand new ‘Lightweight’ E-types as perfect reproductions and to the exact specifications of the original 12 ers who express interest.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the car that made the terms â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot hatchâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;GTIâ&#x20AC;? interchangeable and created an icon in the process. Based on the humble Golf compact, the 1983 Mk1 GTI had 90 hp which sounds laughable today, but back in the day, it was a very big thing. Here was a true giant killer and its popularity has never waned thanks to an excellent power-to-weight ratio that made it quicker than any other import small cars on the market at the time and most of the V6 domestics as well. In keeping with GTI tradition, one of the most powerful engines in the VW parts bin powers the new, seventh-generation 2015 edition. It is the 2.0-litre version of its EA288 direct injection turbocharged fourcylinder with 210 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque which is 10 hp and 51 fl/lb more than the GTI it replaces. A six-speed manual is standard with an optional six-speed dual-clutch with paddle shifters. All-wheeldrive is not available. The new GTI is slightly longer (2.1 in), wider (0.5 in), (1.1 in) lower but also 82 lb lighter than the out-going model thanks to use of VWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new modular transverse matrix chassis design. Trunk volume is up eight per cent over the previous GTI to 22.8 cu ft (with parcel shelf removed) which VW claims is bigger than the largest mid-size sedan in the market. Looking at it another way, with the 60:40 split/fold seat flat, it creates enough space at 52.7 cu ft or enough to stow a full-size bicycle. With signature red-painted brake calipers and 18in GTI wheels, it looks even more aggressive with the sports suspension that lowers the GTI 15 mm (.6 in) compared to the standard Golf hatch. Inside, much attention went into the pedal box area and the centre stack which is now angled toward the driver. But the best part is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clarkâ&#x20AC;? plaid seats that are a classic GTI touch. But this is also 2014 and connectivity is becoming expected. To that end, there is a new 5.8-in touchscreen infotainment centre incorporating a capacitive touch sensor (like that used in tablet technology) instead of the more common resistive touchscreens that require pressure, enabling gesture controls such as swiping and even pinch zooming. New for any GTI is a three-mode Driving Mode Selection ride system with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normalâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sportâ&#x20AC;?, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Individualâ&#x20AC;?. Normal and Sport have a different steering heft and throttle response, while Individual allows a driver to tailor the steering and throttle to his/her own liking. All 2015 Golf GTI models are fitted with VWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s XDS+ Cross Differential System. Think of it as an electronic
substitute for a traditional mechanical limited-slip differential that works by actively monitoring data from each wheel sensor. If the suspension becomes unloaded, the system automatically applies braking to the driven inside wheel as needed to reduce understeer (the tendency for the front wheels to run wide). This not only improves stability but also enhances handling and cornering performance. The seating position has been refined after GTI generation so that everything is where you expect it to be and easy to use and reach when you need it. The manual shifter (I did not drive the dual clutch) has a dimpled golf ball shifter which adds a whimsical touch offset by a huge metal trimmed left foot dead pedal which you can tell is more for bracing your body against the higher g-loading the GTI can achieve. The six-speed is very fast between the cogs but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the power take up nearer the top of the pedal travel. That aside, the GTI just loves being tossed around, which is what has been attracting people to the car since it was created. Also standard is a new Golf Automatic Post-Collision Braking system which is designed around the concept that a collision is rarely a single, instantaneous action, but rather a series of events that follow the initial impact â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the most significant of which can cause additional collisions. There will be three trim levels starting with three-door at $27,995-$29,395 (manual/automatic), the three-door Autobahn at $31,995-$33,395 and $32,895-$34,295 for the five-door. The Sport Package is $1,695 extra and the shipping fee is $1,395. In VW stores now, the 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI is ready to excite those new to the car and please the already converted. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jim Robinson Metroland Wheels

Gifts to rev auto loversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; engines Auto lovers tend to consider their cars their most prized possessions. While it may not be possible to buy the auto lover a new car for their birthday, or perhaps Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, there are many gifts that are sure to please those people who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough time behind the wheel or in the garage. â&#x20AC;˘Car wash kit: Auto lovers not only love to get behind the wheel, but they also love to get behind the wheel of a good-looking automobile. A car wash kit, complete with a wash and
wax that repels water and protects a good polish, is an ideal gift for auto enthusiasts who like their vehicles to look as good as they drive. â&#x20AC;˘ Customized floor mats: Many auto enthusiasts consider their cars an extension of themselves, and a customized accessory, like a new set of floor mats, can add a personal touch to driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rides. If your loved one has a special nickname for his or her vehicle, consider inscribing that nickname on a set of customized floor mats. Auto enthusiasts who have an equal
passion for a certain sport may appreciate floor mats with the logo of their favorite team. â&#x20AC;˘ Hands-free headset: Car lovers spend lots of time in their cars. Though such time might once have afforded auto enthusiasts an escape from the daily grind, nowadays the prevalence of smartphones has made it easier than ever for the outside world to find its way into vehicles. As a result, auto enthusiasts may appreciate a hands-free headset that allows them to take calls while driving without compromising their
concentration on the road. Some hands-free devices even allow drivers to stream music from their smartphones directly to their car stereos, allowing drivers to hit the open road while enjoying their favorite tunes. â&#x20AC;˘ Auto show tickets: Many auto-lovers keep an open eye for their next vehicle purchase. Auto shows are often the best places to learn about new vehicles and what motorists can expect in the future, so why not give your favorite car guy or gal tickets to an upcoming auto show? He or she may find his or her next vehicle or simply enjoy walking around and seeing all the latest automotive industry upgrades and gadgets.

Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 Micra sub-compact lineup starts with this $9,998 S model. With wind-up windows and no air conditioning it does boast ABS, traction control and stability control.
%
Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-selling bestselling car car 16 yearss in 16 year in a row.
��
The Nissan Micra is made for Canada When Nissan announced in February its 2015 Micra sub-compact would have a starting price of $9,998, the first reaction by many was - whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the catch? Would this be a phantom car that exists on paper to lure buyers in the showroom only to be told, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they are all sold but how about a nicely equipped up-trim model?â&#x20AC;? Well folks, there is no catch. The base Micra S will come with cloth seats, manual transmission, wind-up windows, manual adjust outside mirrors and no air conditioning. But it will also have six airbags, ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, tilt steering wheel, AM/FM/CD player with auxiliary audio input jack and speed/volume control. It is also engineered for this country. For instance, it is sold in 160 countries, but the Canadian version is the only Micra in the world with rear seat floor heater ducts which took quite a bit of engineering to accomplish. A full hockey bag will fit sideways in the trunk, and with the rear 60/40 seat folded, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long enough to stow hockey sticks. The suspension is beefed up all round with a rear stabilizer bar to better match our road conditions. Nissan is also serious about getting people into the Micra, which they see as a far better solution to the budget buyer than going for a used car at the same money. Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financing plans make it possible for someone with no previous finance or lease history to buy a Micra. That includes applicants regardless of credit bureau rating, people new to Canada, graduate students and there is even a Nissan First Time Buyer program that cuts red tape in the approval process. Power goes to the front wheels through the standard five-speed manual or optional four-speed automatic transmission. The engine is a 1.6-litre inline four-cylinder with dual injectors per cylinder for a finer spray/air mixture with 109 hp and 107 lb/ft of torque. Fuel numbers are 8.6/6.6/7.7L/100 km city/highway/combined for the manual and 8.8/6.6/7.8L/100 km for the automatic. Passenger volume is 2,475 litres and the trunk space is 407.8 litres, making two hockey bags an easy fit. With the rear seat folded, cargo volume is 819.5 litres. My co-driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first remark when she found the interior devoid of LCD screens, heads-up displays and touchscreen readouts replaced by a simple, easy-to-
use set of analog gauges and controls was: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need any more than this.â&#x20AC;? Because it does not weigh that much, performance is surprisingly sporty with a chirp from the tires off the line and nice spring-assisted shifter for going up and down through the gears. The one-piece cloth front bucket seats didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look cheap and were supportive. Now you can move upmarket to the Base S with automatic, air, cruise and power windows, but the price is $13,298. There is also the mid-level SV at $13,698 for the manual and $14,698 for the automatic. At the top is the SR, which starts at $15,748 for the manual and $16,748 for the manual. When you get into the SV and SR, you get a wide range of amenities including Bluetooth, rear view camera and a choice of wheels, all of which take too much room to list here. Because a majority of buyers are expected to be young, Nissan has a bunch of exterior trim options for people who want that Micra to stick out from the ordinary. These run from mirror caps or door handle covers in five colours to blacked-out alloy wheels. And then there are a host of accessories such as ski or bike carriers, cargo box, rear spoiler and the list goes on. Nissan guesstimates 10 per cent of the 10,000 Micras they expect to sell in the first year will be the base model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we need more, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll order them,â&#x20AC;? Franklin told me. Tim, get that order book out and place the call because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need all you can get.

Police seek Garnett St. Clair, 27 Hit from behind sparks the chain-reaction crash on Hwy. 27 A 44-year-old man is dead and three others are injured following a six-vehicle collision on Hwy. 27 near Woodbine Racetrack this morning. Const. Clint Stibbe of Toronto Police Traffic Services said police were called to the collision scene in the southbound lanes of Hwy. 27 just north of Belfield Road at around 6:18 a.m. “Three individuals were transported to hospital with various levels of injury,” Stibbe said, characterizing those injuries as “moderate to serious, but not life-
threatening.” The four th victim, a 44-year-old GTA man, was also taken to hospital, where he died of his injuries. Police report the deceased victim, who was driving a 2002 Mazda Protege southbound on Hwy. 27, was attempting to make a left turn onto eastbound Belfield Road when he was struck from behind by a 2010 Ford Escape driven by a 61-year-old man. The force of that initial collision then caused a multi-vehicle chain-reaction collision involving four other
vehicles. Both the north and southbound lanes of Hwy. 27 were closed to traffic between Rexdale Boulevard and Dixon Road this morning as police undertook a full reconstruction of the accident. Police are seeking any witnesses to the collision – classified as the 10th traffic fatality of the year – to come forward and contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
i
was working in the area. A struggle ensued and one of the male suspects stabbed the victim, before he and his alleged accomplices fled the scene. The victim was transported to a hospital by Toronto EMS.
The suspects are described as follows: the first is aged 17 to 19, 5’6”, 141 lbs, with a thin build; while the other six suspects are white and aged 17 to 19.

Benefits of homemade lunch seen in the classroom Volunteer parents run affordable food program intended to give kids a healthy boost CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com “Mmmmmm, that smells good!” has become a common refrain throughout the halls of Dixon Grove JMS, where a new lunch program has begun cooking up hot and healthy meals three days a week. On a recent Thursday morning, the delicious aroma wafting out from the school’s converted family studies classroom emanated from pots of hearty chicken noodle soup, platters of garlic bread, bowls of fresh salad with homemade balsamic dressing, and trays of still-hot-from-the-oven apple tarts – all of which were lovingly handmade from scratch by parent volunteers Cecelia Ahumada and Yessenia Rivera. “I think it’s great, because it gives us the opportunity to prepare homemade meals, instead of letting the kids fill up on junk food,” Ahumada, whose 10-year-old son attends Dixon Grove, said of the popular new lunch program. “I wish other schools would do this too, because it’s important.” Launched just this past year, the lunch program is just one facet of Dixon Grove’s commitment to promoting a “fit for life” regimen of healthy food choices and active living, said Principal Neil Quimby – and so far, it seems to be working. For just $2, upwards of 200 Dixon Grove students each day

have been ordering up hot, healthy, homemade lunches on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays – filling their bellies, fueling their bodies for exercise, and allowing them to better focus in the classroom. “Before we started the lunch program, we had a lot of our older kids that were having just pop or milk for lunch, and a lot of kids just weren’t eating much because they couldn’t afford it,” Quimby said, noting
that the lunch program was at first aimed at grades 7 and 8 students, but quickly expanded due to the “ambitiousness” of volunteer chefs Ahumada and Rivera. “So, now we serve the whole school and our teachers are noticing a difference. Kids who weren’t as focused in the classroom after lunch because they hadn’t eaten are now much more attentive.” Dixon Grove’s lunch program is also paying student

dividends in the kitchen, too. Each day the program runs, a total of 12 Grade 8 students head down in shifts to help Ahumada and Rivera cook up their multicultural menu – which this month included tuna burgers, paella with chicken and halal sausage, frittatas, chicken souvlaki and sheppard’s pie, just to name a few. For 13-year-old Pooja Dey, helping out with the lunch program has given her the opportunity to hone both her leadership and culinary skills. “It’s a lot of fun to feed the whole school,” she said,

OMB wasting city resources, reform needed City staff frustrated at time spent defending its policies; NDP the only party to call for reform DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com For the past year, five city planners have been spending all their days on the city’s zoning bylaw. The work follows years of hearings and studies and negotiations to put the massive bylaw that governs everything from the height of a backyard fence to the height of a high-rise condominium in the city. It was finally approved in May of 2013 by Toronto council after vigorous debate. The work should be done. But thanks to the existence of a provincial judicial body that – unique among all Canada’s provinces and territories – has final say on all matters of planning, the city’s work is just beginning. The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) exists as a court of appeal for developers, property owners and residents, overruling and upholding municipal on-land development, heritage designation and expropriation. Its members are appointed by the provincial government, and their decisions are binding – over and above those of elected city councils. The OMB has been hearing appeals to the city’s zoning bylaw since shortly after it was passed. According to Jennifer Keesmaat, the city’s chief planner, those appeals could go on until the bylaw expires and the city has to start work on it all over again. It is a frustration for her and much of Toronto council. “I have a staff team and a significant number of staff resources spent in a continual process of defending our policies at the OMB,” said Keesmaat. “There are policies we’re required to have and required to review for the province. This may work for the City of London (ON), which is 200,000 people, but we have 2.7 million people.” Toronto Council is on record as wishing the OMB gone. And prior to the writ being dropped in the 2014 provincial election, Queen’s Park was on the verge of possibly doing just that, as it conducted hearings on a bill from New Democrat (NDP) Rosario Marchese. The Trinity-Spadina MPP had put forward a bill that would remove Toronto from the OMB’s jurisdiction – forcing developers or residents unhappy with a council decision to either go to the courts, as happens in other provinces, or appeal to a new locally-appointed

The Village of Humber Heights retirement and long-term care residence was built a number of years ago after an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) fight with the neighbouring community. Area residents fiercely opposed the Toronto public school board’s lease with a developer of its school property, leased to some tenants at the time. After many heated community meetings, Toronto council opted not to make a decision on the developer’s redevelopment application. Residents’ group Humber Heights of Etobicoke Inc. hired its own planner and lawyer and spent more than $200,000 to fight the development at the OMB. They lost. The developer, who had been amenable to negotiating, left them with a small parcel of greenspace.

“
We spend so much time defending our policy frameworks at the board that we don’t have time to write more policy frameworks. – Jennifer Keesmaat, chief planner, City of Toronto
Liberal parties speaking with The Etobicoke Guardian agreed that OMB reform might be something to consider in the next term of the legislature. But they stopped short of agreeing the body should be abolished. Pr o g re s s i v e Co n s e r v a t i v e MPP Doug Holyday (EtobicokeLakeshore) said he expected a PC government would continue hearings into ways to reform the
OMB. “The party’s supported public hearings on it – if somebody’s got a better idea on it we’re willing to hear it,” he said. “But there has to be an appeal mechanism to deal with decisions from council that are just plain wrong. Sometimes because there were enough votes opposing whatever (the developers wanted) they weren’t going to get fair treatment. I think somebody would want fair treatment out of that situation.” Etobicoke-Lakeshore Liberal candidate Peter Milczyn said there might be a Liberal policy announcement on the matter prior to the provincial election. In the meantime, based on his experience as a city councillor and chair of the city’s Planning and Growth Management Committee, Milczyn said there are areas where the OMB’s practises can use obvious reform – many of which his committee and council has already recommended. “What came out of planning committee, which council endorsed, was a series of measures to circumscribe the OMB’s ability to overturn city bylaws,” he said. “One idea that came forward was that once we pass a bylaw for a certain site or area, it goes through the normal procedures. Once it’s in full force and effect, you can’t appeal it for another five, six or seven years. Those kinds of things would be helpful—it would mean when the city does proper planning in an area, arrives at a result that’s endorsed … people can rely on that with certainty. It can’t be changed every other week.” Keesmaat for one believes that reform would go a long way to simply freeing up her department to do the land use planning it needs to do. “We spend so much time defending our policy frameworks at the board that we don’t have time to write more policy frameworks,” she said. “We would have more up-todate policy frameworks and we would have less need of the board (if we had that time). The irony is that we have a lot of areas where policy frameworks aren’t up to date because we don’t have the time to be working on them, because we’re spending so much time at the board.”
