A SPECIAL NIGHT FOR PUMPKINS: The party won’t be over once Halloween’s come and gone. Here, left to right, Isabella, Nathaniel, Lara, and Lily have their costumes and pumpkins ready for Mimico’s third annual Pumpkin Parade, which takes place 6 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1 in Mimico Square (Lake Shore Boulevard and Mimico Avenue). Bring your carved Jack-O-Lanterns for display. Volunteers will assist with lighting them and afterward the City of Toronto will be collecting them for disposal.

Tempers flared at a sparsely attended – yet often heated – meeting to discuss the Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre. Among the 15 or so local residents who attended the meeting last Wednesday, which was held at Michael Power/St. Joseph, were a handful who vocally opposed the $4.5 million, 350-

metre bike course – none more outspoken in his criticism than former Ward 3 councillor and deputy mayor Doug Holyday, a longtime opponent of the project who blasted Pan Am Games officials for its ballooning budget. “When this passed at council in February 2011, I think it was $1.5 million, now it’s come back at $4.5 million. What I want to know is, what took place to create that tremendous increase >>>bmx, page 16

Ward 2 candidates take aim at Rob Ford during debate

BLACK LIGHT TREAT

If his name is on the ballot, he will be held accountable: Domise TOM GODFREY etg@insidetoronto.com Political rivals are trying to prevent an ailing Mayor Rob Ford from reclaiming Ward 2 by accusing him of neglecting the community. Ford was noticeably absent during a lively debate by eight of 14 candidates, contesting the ward of Etobicoke North Oct. 15 at Rexdale Alliance Church on Islington Avenue. Rob Ford represented the ward for 10 years, from 2000 to 2010, before he was elected mayor. His brother, Doug, who is now running for mayor, has held the riding for the past four years. Nephew Michael Ford briefly contested the ward, until Rob was diagnosed with cancer and withdrew from the mayor’s race to run for Ward 2. Some of the candidates said Rob Ford should not be running for council if he is sick and requires treatment. “He (Ford) has put his name on the ballot and is a serious candidate, so we are holding him accountable,” said Andray Domise, a former financial planner who is touted as a possible frontrunner. “He has not been out knocking on doors and is taking the neighbourhood for granted.” Domise told a crowd of about 50 residents that the Ford brothers spend very little time in the ward and have neglected the concerns of the community. Though media reports say Mayor Ford has been seen canvassing residents of the ward in between cancer treatments.

GO ONLINE FOR MORE ELECTION COVERAGE AND CANDIDATE INFO: ■ insidetoronto.com /2014torontovotes Residents in attendance voiced a list of concerns in the ward including; a lack of accessible public transit; resurgence of crime; a lack of development and need for a constituency office and community centre for youth. Candidate Theo Lagakos, who works at Woodbine Racetrack, blasted Rob Ford’s record claiming the mayor “is an embarrassment to the community.” “Mr. Ford has let down the residents of Ward 2 with his antics as the entire world was watching,” Lagakos told residents. “Doug Ford is no better and it is time that Ward 2 move forward.” He, and other candidates, accuse Mayor Ford of failing to redevelop Woodbine into a casino with table games, that they claim could have created up to 10,000 new jobs and $1 billion in development. Community developer and council hopeful Luke

LaRocque said poverty, affordable housing and street crime are some of the issues affecting residents. “Ou r w a rd h a s b e e n neglected by the Ford brothers for far too long” LaRocque said. “We need to make sure there is development and jobs for residents in our community.” He said he would consider converting a 21-hectare piece of property left vacant by a Sears warehouse, at 2200 Islington Ave., into a community meeting place. “I would make this area into the Yonge and Dundas square of Ward 2,” LaRocque said. “This area will become a place for residents and a hub of our community.” A proposal is under review for the construction of a 19-building commercial and office development on the former Sears site. Gary Paterson promised to increase the number of Wheel Trans buses serving seniors if he’s elected Ward 2 councillor. “We need more services for seniors in this community,” Paterson pledged. “Snow removal and better transit are some of the big concerns for seniors.” Teacher and candidate Doug Cronkite said he loves the area and thanked Mayor Ford for always returning phone calls from residents and showing up at their doors to address concerns. “I support more buses in high-use areas and would like to restore late-night and daytime TTC service,” Cronkite said. “I will attract information technology (IT) companies to our unutilized commercial and industrial

lands.” He also wants a convention centre built at Woodbine to take advantage of its closeness to Pearson airport. Ataul Malick said he would bring experience and a “voice of reason” to city council. Realtor Benn Adeoba said residents want a fenced dog park and a constituency office. “We have a lack of public transit and we have to increase the supply of buses on our major streets,” Adeoba noted. “We need all three levels of government to work together to build a stronger Etobicoke North.” Adeoba said the campaign has been a positive experience with one incident of suspected racial graffiti being sprayed on a sign of SomaliCanadian candidate, Munira Abukar. Abukar last week Tweeted a photo of herself and the sign that she said was sprayed with the words “go back home.” Debate organizer Don Dearlove said Abukar was receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment in hospital and could not attend the event. “People want to know where the candidates stand on the issues,” Dearlove said. Resident Margaret Antram, who has lived in the ward for 52 years, said she is interested in crime prevention and transit issues. “The candidates did somewhat answer my questions,” Antram said. “But I already have my mind made up on who I am voting for.” Also running in the Ward 2 race are Edmund BuenoBradley; David Caravaggio; Ranjeet Chahal; Michelle Garcia and George Singh.

High turnout for advance polls breaks city record Early-bird voters flocked to the polls last week, setting a new record for advance poll turnout in Toronto municipal elections. A total of 161,147 people

turned out to vote over the past week – more than double the 77,391 people who cast an early vote in 2010. In addition to a robust getout-the-vote effort by mayoral

campaign teams and greater voter interest sparked by a range of controversy stemming from the mayor’s office, the high turnout might be explained by a larger number

of polling stations. This year, the city operated a polling station in each ward, allowing voters to easily cast a ballot in advance of the Oct. 27 election day.

North Albion Collegiate and Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School were also invited but unable to attend.

Civic leadership is a critical issue T

oronto remains a city with strengths and advantages that others around the world can only emulate. However, the lack of true political vision has disrupted serious progress on key issues such as economic and transit development. Political culture has been fractious and detrimental to building trust in leadership for the city moving forward. All of this means civic leadership has become a key issue in Monday’s municipal election. We had a record number of advance poll votes cast this year. The 161,147 votes cast is far more than ever before at advance polls. We hope that means residents take this election seriously and have taken the time to seriously question candidate platforms. Here are key issues a voter needs to consider: Leadership: Thankfully, there has been no major pre-election alignment between mayoral and council candidates. We need council members who openly fight for the needs and desires of their individual ward – and are not expected to blindly fall into line with mayoral direction. This city needs a leader who can work with council members from the most liberal to the most conservative. We need a mayor who can lead a council that works together – and leaves the cheap shots and uncalled-for language and accusations behind. We need a mayor who speaks in facts – and can competently back up their view. That mayor must expect the same from council members. A mayor must work aggressively and respectfully with provincial and federal governments. A mayor must build a profile on an international level and be respected as an ambassador on behalf of every resident. Transit: It would be hard to find two Torontonians who believe there is a focused plan for our transit future. Confusion, hostility and easily debunked transit plans have ruled four years of discussion. Yet, congestion increases. Transit builds take decades to complete. Meanwhile, the quality of life in Toronto erodes with no clear direction. Economic development: As do most major cities, Toronto suffers from unacceptable unemployment rates and is lacking in opportunity for the socially disadvantaged. We face stiff competition all the time from other lesser communities who woo industrial and retailer developers. If asked what issues were priorities of this past council, would economic development even rise to the surface? Toronto needs a new, unified vision for the future. We believe John Tory is the only candidate who can deliver the unity, the vision and the results the city needs. That said, it’s you who does the voting. Please take the time to study the platform of your mayoral and council candidates. Consider the past four years simply lessons learned, and choose wisely on Monday.

column

Chow the choice for this columnist

t is something of a cliché to say a municipal election marks a crossroads for a city. But after four years of the Ford family’s wild reign at Toronto City Hall, any kind of road seems a relief. Based on the polls, a small majority of voters believe themselves to have found that road in the form of John Tory. Fiscally conservative, gracious of manner and civically engaged, the former Ontario Progressive Conservative leader, business executive and talk show host has presented himself as an agreeable antidote to the destructive melodrama at city hall. Tory would follow the rules. He would maintain cordial and professional relationships on council and with other levels of government. His history of volunteer work on matters of social inclusion make it clear that he could be expected to

david nickle the city govern from a fiscally conservative centre. A Tory mayoralty would be an improvement. Elements of his platform, however, make him maddeningly difficult to endorse. Key among these is the $8 billion (or so) SmartTrack surface rail plan that has been roundly, and soundly, criticized for its vague and risky tax increment financing plan. Tory’s relentless defense of the plan is a serious worry. If it fails, as seems all too possible, taxpayers will be on the hook. With that said, SmartTrack is an improvement on the plan put forward first by Mayor Rob Ford and then his brother Doug, to pursue an unsupportable plan to build 32 kilometres of subway and

Elements of his platform, however, make him maddeningly difficult to endorese.

kill the remaining planned light rail lines. Which brings us to Olivia Chow. For those voting strategically, third-place Chow seems a terrible bet. Yet Chow offers the most fiscally conservative and civically constructive platform in the race. Chow is promising tax increases marginally higher than Tory’s, and a land transfer tax premium for $2-million-plus real estate transactions. But she would push to return the costly Scarborough subway to its provincially-funded light rail predecessor, and put the billion dollars in tax revenue slated for the subway toward a necessary

but unfunded downtown relief line. Some aspects of Chow’s platform might not come off as planned — notably, her plans to increase bus service and build affordable housing. But these failures would leave Toronto in a status quo – not in potentially ruinous debt. Olivia Chow may have proven to be an inexpert campaigner and an often tenuous debater. But on Oct. 27, the debating and campaigning is over for nearly four years. And Chow’s work as a city councillor and Member of Parliament has demonstrated an ability to lead allies and parlay with opponents that Toronto’s next mayor will need in spades. By those measures, Olivia Chow is the best choice on Oct. 27. David Nickle is The Guardian’s city hall reporter. His column appears Thursdays. Reach him on Twitter: @DavidNickle

Remembering those who helped during Hurricane Hazel To the editor: Re: ‘Marking Hurricane Hazel’s 60th’, Oct. 9, The Guardian. After all these many years it is indeed a great chance to remember all that went on during Hurricane Hazel 60 years ago. I was the only child of Bell Telephone parents and living at Lawrence and Little avenues and was quite close to the Humber River. Back in the day we knew all the local policemen as they came to our house to use the phone. I saw our tennis club go floating down the river and two firemen in a row boat going round and round in a flood of water at our intersection. A lot of damage was done at that time 60 years ago. Although there are many sad memories, it is also nice to remember the many nice folks and policemen we had back in the day. Thank you for the chance to reminisce. Jean Macdonell

Reader recalls running errands during storm

Irish immigrant thought rain was typical weather

To the editor: Re: ‘Marking Hurricane Hazel’s 60th’, Oct. 9, The Guardian. Like Madeleine McDowell, I was just shy of my 14th birthday when Hurricane Hazel struck. I have lived on The Kingsway near Humbertown since 1951 and I was going to Etobicoke Collegiate at the time. I walked to and from high school and October 15, 1954 was no exception. I recall being thoroughly soaked through on the way home that Friday by the time I reached Anglesey Boulevard and The Kingsway but my boots were still water-free until I reached that intersection. Although the water coursing down Anglesey Boulevard levelled off as it crossed The Kingsway, it left a substantial depth of water that had to be crossed unless I ventured out into traffic that was coming down The Kingsway. That was when my boots became sodden and filled with accumulated water that was nearly knee-level. I managed to get home with dif-

To the editor: Re: ‘Marking Hurricane Hazel’s 60th’, Oct. 9, The Guardian. Your stories about Hurricane Hazel reminded me that my father had just arrived in Toronto in the fall of 1954 and wrote to my mother and I in Ireland about the terrific rain he had to drive through one

ficulty having to ensure that I didn’t walk out of my boots because of the water’s depth. My mother worked locally, was paid on a Thursday night and it was my job to cash her paycheque the next afternoon at the Bank of Nova Scotia at Humbertown. I recall phoning her to say I didn’t want to go out again because of the heavy rain and the difficult time I had crossing Anglesey Boulevard. From her vantage point it was raining but she downplayed the severity of the situation and insisted I had to deposit the cheque so that she and dad could go shopping that night. Reluctantly, I went out again under the same conditions but was barely able to get into the Bank of Nova Scotia, crowded with people sheltering from the rain. I did my duty and went out with my parents that night to shop at the local Dominion where there were few customers. My only casualty of Hazel was a pair of boots – a small price to pay compared to lives lost. Mhairi Lang

October evening. “You should see the kind of storms they have in this country,” he said. It wasn’t until I came to Toronto in 1956 that I realized it had been the hurricane – something we never had in Ireland. Ruth Grier

Trees bore the storm’s discards To the editor: Re: ‘Marking Hurricane Hazel’s 60th’, Oct. 9, The Guardian. I was just a kid when Hurricane Hazel hit Toronto in 1954. We had just moved to Leaside (now living in Etobicoke) and lived close to the Don Valley where we kids loved to play and explore. I remember the heavy rains and winds. but fortunately our house was spared any damage. The next day, being clear and sunny (if I remember properly), we went to have a look in the valley and was amazed to see the water

level to the top of the banks and to the top of the trees. Over time. as the water levels receded, you could see every manner of debris in the branches, be it cloth, paper, plastic, metal or whatever. The trees looked like veritable Christmas trees. Even years later you could still see remnants of junk up in the trees. I’ve wondered if some archeology students could even now find souvenirs of Hurricane Hazel in the trees or on the river banks.

CULTURE

Somali-Canadian television host travels to Wales for United Nations-sponsored lab Jamestown-raised Hodan Nalayeh’s program Integration: Building a New Cultural Identity returns to Citytv in March CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Etobicoke native Hodan Nalayeh recently spent a week in Wales, UK participating in Storytelling Somalia – a United Nations-sponsored lab for emerging writers and change-makers in the Somali diaspora. A s h o s t o f C i t y t v ’s Integration: Building a New Cultural Identity – a weekly, half-hour program that showcases the Somali-Canadian experience through stories that “empower, enlighten and inspire” – Nalayeh was one of about 30 Somali journalists, photographers, playwrights, painters and poets from around the world invited to participate in the all-expenses paid, fiveday retreat courtesy of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), The Institute of Narrative Growth and Radical Middle Way. “What they wanted was for us was to share our ideas on how to tell the Somali story better,” Nalayeh said, noting that the media often conveys the Somali community in a negative light. “It was phenomenal, because the energy was just so positive in moving forward in the direction of rebuilding the country from the outside. We may not live inside Somalia anymore, but we can still make changes from the outside.” For Nalayeh, who grew up in Jamestown after immigrating to Canada from Somalia with her family at age six in 1984, Storytelling Somalia served as an opportunity

to reconnect with her roots – “to learn to tell our story starting with ourselves, discovering our own heritage and our own ancestors and things like that.” “So many Somali people have lost that, because we’ve been scattered all over the world as refugees,” she lamented. “We have lost our language in one generation.” With that in mind, Nalayeh said one of the highlights of the retreat – which was designed to “uplift the role of diaspora communities in global conversations” – was getting to meet some of the ancestors of first Somali immigrants to the United Kingdom, the merchant seamen who settled in the port city of Cardiff in the 19th century. HISTORIC LOCATION “The retreat was at this really remote place about two hours from Cardiff – Buckland Hall in Powys, Wales. It was out in the middle of nowhere, with no internet, but they picked that location because it was close to the oldest Somali immigrants in the UK,” she said of getting to meet with some of the ancestors of those seamen during a visit to the Butetown History and Arts Centre in Cardiff. “The visit to the museum was very impactful for me. I want young Somalis to learn about their culture and history,” she added. “When young people develop selfesteem about who they are, it prevents many issues in

Integration TV host Hodan Nalayeh, left, recently returned from Wales, where she was chosen to participate in Storytelling Somalia, a five-day, United Nations-sponsored lab for emerging writers and change-makers in the Somali diaspora. Nalayeh displays a copy of, 'Somali Elders-Portraits from Wales', a book about the Somali seamen who settled in Cardiff, Wales in the 1800s, alongside the book's developer and director of Cardiff's Butetown History and Arts Centre Dr. Glenn Jordan and Somali community activist Zaniab Nur, whose late father appears on the cover of the book.

society, including radicalization.” Another big perk of the Storytelling Somali retreat for Nalayeh was getting the opportunity to network with other talented Somali storytellers from all corners of the globe – and recruit a few of them to tell their stories on her show, which returns to Citytv for its second season early next year. “It was perfect timing, because I’m looking to expand (Integration TV )

globally now, so I was able to find correspondents that are now going to help the show from all different cities in countries all over the world,” she said. “Somalis are spread all over the world, so we’ve been looking at how to expand and network with each other to bring more change. A lot of the people I met (at Storytelling Somalia) wanted to learn TV skills and to report their own stories, so there’s a lot of opportunity

for that now.” Nalayeh hopes that when Integration TV returns to the airwaves Saturday mornings in March, her new correspondents will help keep Somali culture alive and thriving for the younger generation. “If you don’t share your stories, your culture goes extinct – and that’s what happening to a lot of Somali culture,” she said. “Our young people don’t know our culture, because

we’re not sharing our story, we’re not talking about the language, the history, the community. So that’s what Storytelling Somalia was all about: shaping the story, so we can continue the legacy of our ancestors.” Fo r m o re i n f o r m a tion about Nalayeh and Integration: Building a New Cultural Identity, go to www. integrationtv.com, follow @ IntegrationTV on Twitter or visit the Integration TV page on Facebook.

n 1907, Etobicoke was still a rural community and Lambton Road (now Prince Edward Drive South) was lined with market gardens. One-anda-half acres of land was purchased for the new School Section 14 on the east side of Prince Edward, opposite today’s Sunnylea Avenue West. The school was built of white brick with two classrooms, separate entrances for boys and girls on either side of the building, and a tall bell tower that could be seen for miles around. It had an exterior pump for water and outdoor privies; there were no indoor bathrooms until 1939. The trustees held a contest to name the school and Edna Whitworth, 7, won $5 for suggesting the name “Fairview.” It was then discovered that there was already another school not far away with that name. Edna’s mother gave back the $5, but one trustee felt so badly that he gave Edna $2 from his own pocket. The contest was run again and Edna won again with the name “Sunnylea.” Soon the school had given its name to the entire surrounding community. By 1941 the school was overcrowded with 100 students on the rolls, while 32 overflow students were attending five other schools. A new Sunnylea Public School opened at 35 Glenroy Ave. in 1943. This unique new school was designed by Toronto architect John Parkin, based on the award-winning Crow Island School in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka, Illinois, designed by Eliel and Eero Saarinen in 1940. Its modernist design heralded a new era in

architecture. For Parkin, it was his first significant public commission, and Sunnylea School became a prototype that would be duplicated in over 200 schools across Ontario designed either by him or his firm, Parkin and Associates. Taken for granted today, the design of Sunnylea School was one storey, with classrooms situated on a north/south access to take advantage of natural light. Each classroom had a large expanse of window area, including a corner window, as well as its own exterior door to a

separate play and garden area. Desks were no longer attached to the floor, and each had a separate, moveable chair. The original Sunnylea School on Prince Edward was used as the school’s caretaker’s apartment for awhile after 1943, and then was a community centre until it was demolished in 1953. In its place now sits Sunnylea Park. Denise Harris is the Heritage Officer of the Etobicoke Historical Society. Her column appears every second Thursday. Reach her at denise. harris@sympatico.ca

Teen driving: Take the responsible road While an RBC Insurance survey1 shows that 9 in 10 parents rate their teens as fairly good drivers, many teenagers still fall prey to common driving misconceptions. “Being a teenage driver isn’t easy. You’re developing a new skill and learning the rules of the road, and because of this, are more likely to fall victim to myths,” explains Natalie Dupuis, Senior Product Manager, Auto, RBC Insurance. “The consequences of making a mistake on the road can have serious ramifications, including the impact to your pocketbook, with teens in an accident seeing substantial increases in premiums upwards of 50%. However, knowing what types of mistakes you’re most likely to commit can help teens make the right driving decisions.” While a number of these activities are already illegal, still many dangerous driving misconceptions persist. To help set the record straight, RBC Insurance debunks the three most common driving misconceptions among teens: Myth: “I can safely text or talk on my phone while driving.” Fact: Cell phones are a significant visual and cognitive distraction for drivers, with average “eyes off the road” times that increase the risk of collision considerably. Drivers engaged in text messaging on a cell phone are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near crash event than non-distracted drivers.2 Myth: “I’ve only had one drink so I’m fine to drive.” Fact: Any amount of alcohol impairs driving and increases the risk of collision. Even one drink can cloud your thinking, dim your vision and slow your reflexes.

Alcohol also affects your attention span, alertness and coordination. A driver with a blood alcohol content of 0.10% is 50 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a driver with no blood alcohol content.3 Myth: “Driving under the influence of cannabis is not as bad as driving under the influence of alcohol.” Fact: Your driving ability can be impaired by pot just as much as it can be impaired by alcohol, as both can impact your ability to concentrate and lower your reaction time. In fact, drivers between 16 and 24 years old are equally split between drinking-driver fatalities (27.6%) and drug-positive driver fatalities (26.9%).4 To learn more, visit www.rbcinsurance.com/ insuranceneeds/safety-tips-for-teenage-drivers.html 2012 RBC Parent and Teen Driving Study.

BMX community says new facility will help grow the sport >>>from page 1 in money?” he asked. “People go to jail for this,” he added, voice raised, to applause from the thin crowd – including Romana Marconi, chair of the Friends of Centennial Park Conservatory group, who came armed with a ‘Protect Our Greenspaces’ placard. Holyday continued, “How can you go to council and sell this thing against the local councillor’s own advice, and then you baited and switched it for $4.5 million? Something is very wrong here.” While last week’s meeting was originally called by the city to update area residents on the status of the Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre, which is currently under construction in advance of the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, it often dissolved into a shouting match as attendees criticized the project’s potential impact on nearby wetlands, safety concerns at the adjacent Toboggan Hill, the perceived lack of community consultation in the planning process, and the culture of vendors and loud music often associated with BMX events, among other concerns.

Despite residents’ misgivings about the project, sitting Ward 3 Councillor Peter Leon – who was appointed to the seat when Holyday elected Etobicoke-Lakeshore MPP last August, but isn’t running for re-election – said he supports the BMX track as a rejuvenation tool for Centennial Park as a whole. “While there are some mixed feelings about this facility, I have no doubt in my mind that after the Pan Am Games there will be activity in (at the BMX Centre) that will give the park more usage; that will draw more people to it; that will allow more money to be spent in it; that will allow Centennial Park to be restored back to what it was in the old days of Etobicoke,” he said. “Those are my reasons for supporting it.” When complete by late fall, the 3.2-hectare Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre track will feature a compact closed-looped design, consisting of two start ramps – an eight-metre competition ramp and a five-metre ramp to serve younger and inexperienced riders – four straightaways, and three banked turns. As a legacy project,

Construction is well underway at Centennial Park.

Catherine Meade, a director of the Pan Am Games with the City of Toronto, said the BMX track will not only challenge the 25 male and 18 female riders competing in the 2015 Games, but will be maintained in the decades to come for the enjoyment and use of the community. In addressing Holyday’s critique of the BMX centre’s budget, Meade clarified that the original $1.5 million budget projection was, in fact, the estimate for a tem-

porary BMX facility originally slated to be constructed in the parking lot of Ontario Place for the duration of Games, then disassembled after its completion. The budget for the project grew to around $4.5 million, she said, only when its scope changed to that of a permanent, legacy project at Centennial Park. “Having these facilities for the Games is great, but that’s two weeks, then folks are gone,” she said. “What

is really critical for us overall, is that these facilities work and are used 20, 30, 40 years into the future. And so, we’re working with the Ontario and Canadian Cycling Associations to help us to ensure that this facility is used well beyond the Games.” To those ends, Meade invited Brendan Arnold, head coach with the Ontario Cycling Association, to last Wednesday’s meeting to discuss with residents the future plans for the Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre – which Arnold characterized as a “game changer” for the sport of cycling in Ontario. Currently, he noted, Ontario has only 470 registered BMX athletes and seven BMX facilities on which those athletes can train, but Arnold said he hopes the new stateof-the-art track at Centennial Park will increase the sport’s popularity in Ontario and put it on par with the top three BMX provinces in the country – British Columbia (which boasts 2,200 athletes and 18 facilities), Alberta (with 1,450 athletes and 14 facilities) and Quebec (with 1,300 athletes and 25 facilities). “Ontario Cycling is com-

mitted to making sure we have this track, not only as a live performance centre, but also working towards getting a club going at this track, which is vital,” Arnold said. The association, he added, currently has two programs in the works: one, a High-Performance program for BMX athletes with the potential to represent Canada in BMX racing at the 2020 Olympic Games; and secondly a Rising Stars program set to launch in 2015 for the province’s top 10- to 14-year-old athletes hoping to race in the 2024 and 2028 Olympics. Todd Harper, head of Elite Trax Inc.’s Canadian office and a BMX dad himself, said he wouldn’t be at all surprised to see the Centennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre produce Olympic-level talent in the very near future. “What I want to see,” Harper added, “is an Olympian coming out of this track – and I have a good idea we’re going to see something spectacular here. The superstars of the sport are going to be in your backyard.”

in the spring of 2012 was a dream come true – allowing the shelter to accommodate three-to-four times the cats, plus shelter dogs in-house for the first time in the shelter’s then-25-year history. Alas, the relocation has also meant a steep increase in the shelter’s costs, Grado said. “In our old shelter we had limited space, so we (had a lot of dogs in) foster care, but we’ve grown exponentially since then,” she said, noting that EHS can now shelter 10 dogs, plus a litter of puppies, and upwards of about 40 cats – all rescued or surrendered from across the city and well beyond. The year-long SOS campaign, Grado said, is all about making the EHS community and general public aware of the services the shelter provides and what makes it so unique. EHS stands apart from other conventional animal shelters not just in its 100-percent-volunteer, 100-per-cent-

donation-based-funding mandate, but also in its commitment to animal comfort – cats in the shelter are free to roam in their designated rooms, dogs are given extraspacious kennels, and, thanks to the commitment of EHS’s 150 dedicated volunteers, all animals get almost one-onone care on a daily basis. While EHS’s SOS campaign will extend all year and will include a series of fundraising events, right now the emphasis of this initial letter campaign is on securing longer-term donors in order to ensure the shelter’s sustainable viability in both the short and long term. “To anyone who isn’t aware of who we are, we welcome them to come in... see what makes us different, and to help us help animals in Ontario,” Grado said.

The City of Toronto in partnership with Lowe’s Canada celebrates the newly renovated Pine Point Arena Free community skate on Saturday, Oct 25 ! With a commitment to grass roots hockey and ensuring that today’s youth are playing in safe, accessible and inspiring facilities, Lowe’s Canada has once again partnered with the City of Toronto and Hockey Canada for the Lowe’s Community Rink Reno program. A significant number of the community rinks across the country are in very poor condition. Many arenas were funded by the federal government Centennial Fund Program back in 1967 and have not seen renova-

tions since. As part of the Lowe’s Community Rink Reno program, earlier this year Etobicoke’s Pine Point Arena received $50,000 worth of much needed renovations from Lowe’s Canada which was then matched by the City of Toronto.

SOS campaign aims to secure sustainable funding through new long-term donors >>>from page 1 “We have just a few months operating budget left,” she said, noting that the aim of the year-long Save Our Shelter (SOS) campaign is to mobilize as many sustainable donors as possible to help keep the $15,000-a-month shelter afloat. “And at this point, monthly donations are what would be most helpful because they allow us to plan ahead, knowing how much is coming in.” Since its humble beginnings running out of a residential basement when it was first founded as the Etobicoke Animal Welfare Association in 1987, EHS has expanded exponentially – outgrowing both its original digs and its longtime home in a Royal York Road office zoned strictly for cats. After operating in such cramped quarters for so long, moving into EHS’ new, spacious, full-service animal shelter on Six Point Road

– Mayoral Candidate

We can all agree that having a fully functional and efficient council is important. Someone to work with all levels of government and councillors from various parts of the political spectrum. John Tory is just that. Someone who has support not only from Torontonians, but from currently elected officials who represent these people. His vision for the city is inclusive of all former municipalities and focuses on moving the city forward...Together. With a clear transit plan, detailed platform, and positive campaign, Tory has grasped the attention of many, including Robert Nimmo. His goal for youth is to decrease the unemployment rate from the already high 20%. Tory states “we cannot afford to lose the vitality young people bring to the marketplace. We must connect youth to opportunities...”. John is adamant that the city work with already initiated programs such as PAYE, to provide training to youth and connect them with various employers.

His experience as a former CEO, MPP, and CivicAction Chair will be essential in working to attract businesses and retain young talent. The SmartTrack plan has received rave reviews, although it is a quick fix and would require more work beyond the estimated 7 years, the plan is realistic and achievable. Toronto is in need of traffic and political relief and Tory is the man for the job. Together Toronto can become the world class city its has strived so long to be.

Justin Di Ciano – Ward 5

John Campbell – Ward 4

Justin Di Ciano is a long time resident of Etobicoke-Lakeshore. He has been involved with the community for several years. Some of his priorities include preserving the Kingsway, Sunnylea and Thompson Orchard, investing more in our schools, and neighbourhood development. He is a true believer that by empowering youth you will help in creating a prosperous neighbourhood. This is shown by his work with PACT Urban Peace Program, and by co-founding the Jean Augustine Centre for Young Women’s Empowerment. The ward has seen and will see new condo development in the near future. Justin’s stance is that “developers must pay their fair share” and invest in the communities they are building. Whether it be parks, into transit or community centres “growth must pay for growth”. On a city wide scale his priorities include balancing the budget and revenue generation without tax increases. A true voice for the people of Ward 5 and South Etobicoke.

John is a familiar face to many residents as he was the former Chair and Trustee of the TDSB. He has lived in Etobicoke Centre for over 32 years and knows what truly matters to the people of Ward 4. Seniors & Youth are on his list of priorities. If elected he will be committed towards a proposed community centre in the Martingrove-WestwayKipling area. There is a void in the area for both seniors and youth who have to travel a distance to access a public facility. John understands the stress new development has on our communities, and is prepared to ensure road, sewers and TTC improvements are made to accommodate any increased density. The floods in July 2013 took a major toll on Ward 4 residents. The city must be better prepared for such events by investing more towards infrastructure. Although the cost is not inexpensive it is essential and John is aware of this. With increases in population and growth of our city, comes traffic congestion and transit overload. John believes a downtown relief line must be top priority at council. We need to “move people quickly, effectively, and efficiently.” He is a strong believer in fiscal responsibility and is committed in seeking “sensible efficiencies to uphold principals of responsible spending”. John’s commitment is clear. It’s Ward 4 and to him constituents matter. Ward 4 needs a strong councillor that has no conflict.

Stephen Holyday – Ward 3 Having been raised by a former Mayor, City Councillor and MPP, Stephen Holyday has been exposed to the life of a politician. Stephen, including his wife and three children, has been a longtime resident of Ward 3 and understand the needs and priorities of its constituents; traffic congestion, employment, and community preservation. He also intends to maintain the level of customer service that most Etobican politicians are known for; returning e-mails, phone calls, and meeting residents at their home. A true face-to-face political figure. Stephen expresses the importance of maintaining a healthy and prosperous neighbourhood. There are areas of importance such as preserving green space, outdoor pools for residents, parks, and ultimately protecting the interests of homeowners. Stephen has a game-plan and is ready to represent Ward 3’s interests. With a dip in youth employment Stephen is a strong believer that “the city must work harder” to ensure youth (25 years and under) have job opportunities. He is confident that by keeping taxes low the city will attract and retain businesses. Rather than simply letting things happen the city needs to be more involved; partner with the businesses. His connection, dedication, and vision of the ward are what make Stephen the best candidate for Ward 3. Robert looks forward to having him on city council. This young man deserves your “X”.

Incumbent – Ward 6 An interview was requested with the current councillor of Ward 6 to discuss youth engagement and working with the next mayor of Toronto. Unfortunately the meeting was cancelled and a new meeting time was not offered. The incumbent is councils point person for the Pan-Am games which has been exposed as well over budget. Priorities include sports related events. Ward 6 needs new leadership and true representation in city council.

Supporting our local candidates. The future of South Etobicoke and the City of Toronto are very important to Robert Nimmo. Which is why he is in full support of the following city council candidates. Each with their own ideas of engaging youth and seniors, preserving or improving community living, and working towards easing traffic congestion. These are merely the opinions of Robert Nimmo.

The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) on Monday announced the establishment of a steering team to conduct an independent review probing the stabbing death of a student inside North Albion Collegiate Institute last month. Nineteen-year-old Hamid Aminzada, an Afghan ESL student who moved with his family to Toronto two years ago from Pakistan, was stabbed in the north Etobicoke high school’s lobby on the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 23 while trying to break up a fight between two other students. He succumbed to his injuries in hospital a short time later. A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was arrested the next day and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the case.

TDSB Director of Education Donna Quan said in a release Monday that she is “committed to reviewing the circumstances leading to the incident and the TDSB’s response to the tragedy.” “Today, I am announcing that a steering team has been established and will soon begin an independent review into the facts surrounding the events leading to and following the death of Hamid, and to determine if more can be done to prevent such deaths and to improve support and engagement of students and families,” she said in the statement. task force members The steering team includes: Toronto’s former Deputy Chief of Police Kim Derry, who is currently acting a president of Executek

International, a security and risk management organization; Sharifa Khan, president and CEO of Balmoral Multicultural Marketing, who has expertise in community voice and engagement; and former TDSB executive superintendent of education Karen Forbes, who boasts extensive understanding of the board’s educational programs and student support services. It is the goal of the TDSB that its steering team’s review will assist the board in understanding the circumstances around Aminzada’s tragic death, and to ensure that it continues moving the gains the board has made in creating safe and caring school environments out to its school communities. An interim report will be presented to the board on Nov. 26, and a final report will be filed by March 2015.

Month-long roadwork on Bathurst begins Another major roadwork project will tie up traffic along a busy downtown street for over a month. A joint construction undertaking between the TTC and the city began on Bathurst Street. The work to replace aged sewer watermain and repair streetcar tracks and wiring begins first at the intersection of Wolseley Street and then at Dundas Street West, which is expected to

last until the latter-half of November. During this time parts of Bathurst, from north of Queen Street West to south of Dundas, will be closed to traffic, although local access to homes businesses and Toronto Western Hospital will be maintained, says the TTC. The project will require replacement buses to service the 511 Bathurst streetcar route until Saturday, Nov.

22. From Monday, Oct. 20 until Sunday, Nov. 2 traffic on Bathurst at Wolseley will be reduced to one lane northbound outside of rush hour. Also during this time, the 511 replacement service will divert around the intersection. From Nov. 3 onwards, Bathurst will be completely closed in both directions between Willis Street and Robinson Streets. Visit www.ttc.ca for info.

Ministry of Labour finds fault with TTC bus bike racks A recent Ontario Ministry of Labour ruling means cyclists for the time being cannot make use of the bike racks found on most TTC buses. The ministry ordered the TTC to lock the bike racks found on the front of its Orion VII and Nova articulated buses because of sight line concerns when the racks are full.

In the wake of flooding last week, the city’s urging residents to do a better job ensuring loose piles of leaves don’t get onto the streets. Improper disposal of leave and debris was identified as a key culprit for flooding on St. Clair Avenue West after a freak thunderstorm the evening of Thursday, Oct. 16 which temporarily suspended streetcar service. The city is urging residents to dispose of loose leaves

properly so they don’t get onto sidewalks and roads. input ON QUALITY OF GO BUS RIDES wGIVE

Student trustee to help foreign students adjust to life in city Michael Power/St. Joseph’s Christopher MacDonald holds role for one year CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com The establishment of a one-day forum for international students new to Canada ranks amongst the top goals Etobicoke’s Christopher MacDonald has set for himself as one of this year’s Toronto Catholic District School Board ( TCDSB) student trustees. The 17-year-old Michael Power/ St. Joseph student was sworn in alongside Hannah McGroarty, of St. Patrick Catholic Secondary School, as this year’s TCDSB student trustees and co-chairs of the Catholic Student Leadership Impact Team (CSLIT) in August. “There’s lots of international students at my school, so I want to set up an international students’ forum across the board and have one day where they all come in and we see how they’re feeling, how they’re adapting to Toronto life and give them tips and tricks to feeling comfortable here, while still focusing on their own identities and cultural values,” said MacDonald, who’s currently in Grade 12, studying in the International Baccalaureate diploma program at Michael Power/St. Joseph. “We have to do something to help them, because it’s very difficult coming here, not knowing the language, and being forced to go back to school in another language. We already have a lot of programs in place, such as ESL classes, but I just want to have one day where we can get a feel for they’re feeling, how they’re fitting in and help give them opportunities to get involved and have more fun while they’re here.” Through his work with CSLIT, MacDonald said he’s also looking forward to engaging in charity work – including partnerships with both L’Arche, an international organization of faith-based communities creating homes and day programs with people who have intellectual disabilities, and Trek for Teens, a foundation that raises funds and awareness for homeless

youth Toronto. While his new role as a TCDSB student trustee has been one that’s required some time management skills, MacDonald said the experience has so far proven an invaluable one – especially as he hopes to study political science next year in university. leadership “I’ve always enjoyed being in a role of leadership where I could do more, because I like helping people, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to get that experience, even though some of the board meetings go fairly late,” he laughed, noting he didn’t get

home from September’s meeting of the board until 12:30 a.m. “It’s just a matter of juggling. I know if I have a test or an assignment due the next day, I’ll either bring some work with me to the meeting or I’ll ask to leave early. Everyone’s really understanding that I’m a student and have to balance my trustee role with school work.” No stranger to responsibility, MacDonald served as treasurer on the Michael Power/St. Joseph student council last year, has acted as an executive leader for the school’s Camp White Pine leadership camp in the past and currently runs the school’s Reach for the Top team. The St. Gregory’s Catholic School

grad, who grew up in the Islington Avenue and Rathburn Road area, said the best part of his role as TCDSB student trustee and CSLIT co-chair is working with other like-minded student leaders to represent the collective student voice. “The most fun part is meeting the other student leaders and having a good time with them, because it all comes down to: you’re in this community, everyone is accepting of each other, we all like to listen to each other’s ideas and we get good work done at CSLIT,” he said of the experience so far. “It’s a lot of fun if you’re up for the challenge – it keeps you on your toes.”

Understanding the different stages of breast cancer When doctors diagnose breast cancer, they typically tell their patients which stage the cancer is in. Men and women with no previous experience with cancer may not know what these stages signify or may not understand the differences between the stages. The following is a rundown of breast cancer stages to help men and women diagnosed with breast cancer better understand their disease.

Stage 0 & 1 When breast cancer is detected early, it is often characterized as stage 0 or 1, which means the cancer cells have not spread beyond a very limited area. Stage 0 breast cancer is a noninvasive cancer where abnormal cells have been found in the lining of the breast milk duct but have not spread outside the duct into surrounding breast tissue. Stage 0 breast cancer is very treatable, but if treatment is not sought, it can spread into surrounding breast tissue. Stage 1 breast cancer is diagnosed when the tumour is very small and has not spread to the lymph nodes. In certain in-

stances when a person is diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer, no tumour is found in the breast. When a tumour is found, it is typically two centimetres or smaller. According to the NationalBreast Cancer Foundation, breast cancer that is discovered and treated at stage 1 has a five-year survival rate of roughly 98 percent.

Stage 2 A stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis means the cancer has begun to grow or spread, but it is still in the early stages and typically very treatable. Stage 2 breast cancer is divided into two groups, stage 2A and stage 2B, a distinction that is made because of the size of the tumour and if the breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. There may or may not be a tumour present when a person is diagnosed with stage 2A breast cancer. If a tumour is present, it is either less than two centimetres and cancer cells are present in less than four axillary lymph nodes or the tumour is between two and five centimetres but has not spread to the lymph nodes.

A tumour is present when a person is diagnosed with stage 2B breast cancer, and that tumour is either between two and five centimetres and spread to less than four axillary lymph nodes or it is larger than five centimetres but has not spread to any lymph nodes. Stage 2 breast cancers typically respond well to treatment, but those treatments may be more aggressive than treatments for stage 0 or 1 breast cancers.

Stage 3 Stage 3 breast cancer is an advanced cancer that has invaded tissues surrounding the breast but has not spread to distant organs. Advancements to treat stage 3 breast cancer have made treatment more effective, even if a doctor describes the cancer as “inoperable,” which may mean that surgery will not be enough to rid the breast of the cancer in its entirety. Stage 3 breast cancer is divided into a three subgroups, which are determined by the size of the tumour and if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or surrounding tissue.

When a person is diagnosed with stage 3A, 3B or 3C breast cancer, his or her physician will likely discuss treatment plans that include a combination of treatment options.

Stage 4 A stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis means the cancer has spread to other areas of the body, which may include the brains, bones, lungs, or liver. Stage 4 breast cancer is considered incurable, though the NBCF notes that a growing number of women are living longer because their disease is being treated as a chronic condition. Treatment of stage 4 breast cancer may be determined by a patient’s access

to specialists and sub-specialists, and some patients may be given the opportunity to participate in therapies that are still in the experimental phase. Unlike in years past, many stage 4 breast cancer patients can extend their lives for several years thanks in large part to advancements in research and medical technology.

Open house planned for Nov. 3 Humber College’s Lakeshore Campus is expanding again. The Humber College Athletic Centre and Welcome Centre will be the newest additions to the bustling multi-site campus centred around Col. Samuel Smith Park Drive at Kipling Avenue. Construction begins this month. An open house for the community will be held Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. in Room A170. The three-storey athletic centre will boast about 23,000 square feet of program

space. It will house change areas and a weight-training room on the ground floor, administrative offices, a multipurpose room, aerobics dance studio and group exercise room on the second floor and a dedicated cardio studio on the third floor. It will front Lake Shore Boulevard West between Twenty Second and Twenty Fourth streets on the site of Wildside Motorcycles, which was set to be demolished in late fall. The 43,000-square-foot Welcome Centre will be nestled in the green park on the northern edge of the campus.

Humber officials called the three-storey building “the centerpiece of student life and activity.” It will house lounges, meeting and conference rooms, a multi-faith centre, health, counseling and disability services, the principal’s and human resources offices, as well as the Aboriginal Resource Centre. The Athletic Centre building is being designed to a targeted LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver rating as a gateway. Humber’s Athletic Centre is set to open in fall 2015. Its Welcome Centre will open in January 2016.

Transportation Services has once again scheduled mechanical leaf collection service in the areas outlined on the attached map. Mechanical Leaf Collection will take place from: Monday, November 10th to Friday, December 5, 2014 A total of 43,300 notices, with the program collection dates, will be delivered to all households in the program area. Only those residents who are scheduled to receive mechanical leaf pick-up will receive notification, two weeks prior to the scheduled pick-up dates of the first week of collection. (Those that do not receive a notice are not eligible for the program). A day or two before the first Monday of your collection week(s), please rake all leaves to the edge of the roadway, but not onto the travelled portion of the roadway. Do not place leaves in ditches or in any way as to obstruct water flow. Once crews have picked up the leaves, they will not return to the area and the residents must bag any remaining leaves. Only the leaves that have been placed by the edge of the roadway by 7:00 a.m. the first day of your scheduled collection week will be removed.

Please note the following:

If the leaf collection program is suspended due to an early snow fall, we will not resume leaf collection and any remaining leaves will have to be bagged for pick-up during your regular waste collection day. The City suggests that, whenever possible, composting is still the best solution for managing your leaves. For information on composting, please visit: www.toronto.ca/compost. If you do not receive mechanical leaf collection, place your yard waste in reusable, rigid, open-top containers or kraft paper bags on your regular yard waste collection day for pick-up. Check your local collection calendar for your yard waste collection schedule and more helpful tips. If you have any questions about the service, call 311 or visit the website at: www.toronto.ca/transportation/leaf_pickup

Courts keep documents secret in Etobicoke school murders ‘Just because it’s Youth Court doesn’t mean that there should be a knee-jerk reaction of secrecy’: lawyer Reporters are unable to gain access about basic information in the killings of three high school students inside and outside two north Etobicoke high schools in the past month. Hamid Aminzada, 19, an Afghan ESL student who moved to Toronto with his family two years ago from Pakistan, was stabbed to death in North Albion Collegiate’s lobby Sept. 23 while trying to break up a fight between two other students. But court staff refused to release basic information about the case that is presumed to be public – including the name of the accused and details of the charges he faces. Three weeks later, Michael Menjivar, 15, and Zaid Athir Youssef, 17, were gunned down steps from the School of Experiential Education one block east of Islington Avenue and Dixon Road Oct. 6. Menjivar was a James

Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School student. Youssef attended Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School. A 17-year-old boy was charged with attempted murder in connection to the shooting. Again, courts are refusing to release the same basic information containing the name of the boy accused and details of the charges he faces. Both cases involve suspects younger than 18 accused in connection to the deaths of other young people. As such, the identity of the suspects, both 17, is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The media cannot publish their names. The Guardian and its sister paper, The Toronto Star, are not seeking to publish the names of the suspects or information that would identify them. However, when reporters requested a document known

as the “court information”, court staff refused to do so in both cases, saying a written application was required and a separate hearing needed to be held. The inability of the media to access fundamental information means the public is unable to learn more details about high-profile cases, and cannot scrutinize the justice system, said media lawyer Iain MacKinnon. “People should be outraged that the media can’t do their job, because there’s no news if you can’t get basic information...that is critical for the media to do some basic aspects of their job, which is inform the public about what’s going on in the courts.” “Court information” lists criminal charges, the name and address of the accused, and previous court appearances, and is typically available upon request. In Aminzada’s case, a

hearing was held earlier this month to access the court information, and an additional sheet of paper listing people who the accused was not allowed to contact. The Star was represented by media lawyer Jessica Lam, who argued there is a presumption of openness that applies even to youth criminal proceedings, and the onus is on those seeking restrictions on openness to justify why those are necessary — not the other way around. The Star ultimately obtained a heavily censored copy of the information, which did not include the name of the accused or those he was not supposed to contact. Another hearing is scheduled on the matter, but The Star chose not to pursue the matter further. In the case of the murders of Menjivar and Youssef, on Monday The Star attended a court appearance by the youth charged with attempted

murder in connection to the case, though the murder charge does not directly relate to the deaths. The Star is seeking the information in the hope it will shed light on who the accused is alleged to have attempted to kill. Again, court staff said a separate hearing was required to access the accused’s court information. A hearing is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 31. Iris Fischer, a media lawyer who represents the Star, said there is a provision in the Youth Criminal Justice Act that grants access to certain parties, including the media, who upon request shall be given court records. Fischer said she is troubled by the inability of the media to obtain “this basic information that says who is charged with what.” “Just because it is youth court doesn’t mean that there should be a knee-jerk reaction

of secrecy,” she said. “Despite having decades of case law from the Supreme Court of Canada on the fundamental importance of open courts and transparency, it still requires multiple court appearances to get access to fundamental charging documents.” Both Fischer and MacKinnon said that, far too often, the public doesn’t have access to court documents, reversing the presumption of openness. “These things happen in small cuts,” MacKinnon said of limitations on access to court documents and other information. “One isolated case may not make a big difference, but when you add them up and there’s a pattern, it can quickly mushroom into a major problem.” – With files from Torstar News Service, Cynthia Reason and Tamara Shephard

It’s either car or bus, if you want to move along Finch Avenue West currently. Candidates disagree on the best solution for improving congestion along the corridor.

a busway, which they argue would provide faster transportation along the route than an LRT, and could be easily disassembled once the city raises the necessary funding for a subway. The plan is not supported by Metrolinx’s environmental assessment of the LRT line. Bus rapid transit, according to the study, would not provide sufficient carrying capacity and would require by-pass lanes to keep the same efficiency. It would also not encourage development to the same extent that a light rail line would, and while capital costs are lower, it would cost more once the line reaches its capacity. And as to ridership: according to the study, by 2031 demand will be in the range of 2,300 to 2,800 persons per hour. That’s more than a bus rapid transit line can handle, and a subway isn’t justified until ridership approaches the range of 10,000 people per hour. Mammoliti presents a novel argument against that: he maintains that 80 per cent of riders who take the current bus along Finch do not pay their fares, and that TTC operators have told him they do not challenge scofflaws, and also don’t count them in the ridership tally. “I brought it up a few months ago and the head of the TTC didn’t want to talk about it,” Mammoliti

said. “That led me to believe that there’s something there. I know we qualify; we know that.” Even Crisanti is skeptical of that number, which the TTC won’t confirm. And others along the route seem to have reconciled, for now, the reality that light rail will probably be coming to Finch Avenue West. The Emery Village Business Improvement Area board has been negotiating with Metrolinx since Transit City was announced, about implementation issues regarding the light rail line. Emery Village project manager Al Ruggero maintains the outstanding concern remains the traffic issues along Finch – which is used by many of Emery Village’s industrial members for heavy trucking access to Hwy. 400. “When they released their environmental assessment it became obvious to the people looking at it, that there were flaws to be addressed and issues that weren’t addressed: how they were going to handle the commercial truck traffic along Finch, with road narrowing, construction staging, a whole host of things that weren’t well delved into,” he said. The BIA hired a traffic consultant, Cole Engineering, to look at ways to resolve the issue. The bottom line is that a portion of the surface line, particularly as it approaches bottlenecks underneath Hwy. 400 and a

Canadian Pacific railway bridge, ought to be buried. Ward 7 candidate Nick DiNizio is on board with a partially buried light rail line. “Let’s be honest – subways are the way to go, but it’s cost prohibitive now,” he said. “My goal is now that they’ve decided to put an LRT coming through, I would rather see it buried because of the heavy trucks we have... it’s going to be a dog’s breakfast having it above ground.” DiNizio, running a close race with incumbent Mammoliti, maintained that support on the street was not so high for holding out for a subway through all this. “Our demand is to get something out here right now,” he said. “We’ve got commuters taking 90 minutes to work one way.” The local debate over subways versus buses versus LRT perplexes transit watchers like blogger Steve Munro. “There are some things to be said about having subways in some locations, but so much of this is a combination of an old-time revival meeting and also the notion that... ‘we are the downtrodden and if only we had subways our lives will be so much better.’ And I have a real problem with that.”
