Humber grad enters the Dragon’s Den and wins Lee Renshaw’s ‘ingenious’ Rise and Hang duffel bag to be sold on The Shopping Channel CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Stripping down to his bright blue skivvies in front of the notoriously fiery panel on Dragon’s Den may have garnered Lee Renshaw a few astonished gapes from his judges, but it was the recent Humber College grad’s ingenuity that held their attention.

During last week’s seventh season premiere of Dragon’s Den – a CBC show featuring entrepreneurs pitching their business ideas to a panel of venture capitalists – Renshaw, 28, and his younger brother and business partner Sean, 27, strutted onto the set with little more on than the smiles on their faces and their ‘ingenious’ Rise and Hang duffel bag in hand.

The nakedly clever – albeit somewhat chilly – ploy, Renshaw explained, had a twofold purpose: one, to ensure the brothers’ pitch made it to air on the popular reality show; and two, to demonstrate how useful their patented duffel could be to neat freaks on the run.

“One of the show producers

actually helped us come up with the idea of showing up in our underwear. I think she was thinking just regular boxers, but when we went shopping, we thought: ‘You know what?

If we’re going to do this, it’s all or nothing,” Renshaw recalled with a laugh. “So we picked up the colourful underwear we wore, and it was a lot of fun. And lo and behold, we made it.”

During their Dragon’s Den segment, Renshaw explained to the judges how life as a nomadic student during his Humber years left him – and his clothes – a little worse for wear.

“I was living at home in Kitchener at the time and commuting back and forth to Etobicoke for school. A lot of the time I’d have to stay at friends’ houses or with my girlfriend, so I pretty much always had a bag packed in my car, just in case I had to stay over because we had a late project or whatever,” he reiterated to The Guardian.

“What I quickly found out was that after one day in that bag, my clothes looked like a complete disaster.”

To demonstrate that point

Lee Renshaw, left, and his brother Sean received a $100K investment from D r a g o n ’s D e n ’s A r l e n e Dickinson and David Chilton for 50 per cent of their business to manufacture the Rise and Hang duffel bag that keeps clothes wrinkle-free.

for the Dragon’s Den panel, Renshaw’s brother pulled a shirt and pair of pants out of a typically disorganized duffel bag and quickly dressed in the crumpled ensemble.

Mocked by his friends for his likewise wrinkled appearance during his Humber years,

Renshaw said he was thus inspired to invent the Rise and Hang – a portable shelving system built into a duffel bag that can be hung to keep its contents organized on the go (www.riseandhang.com).

“I started out with drawings and paper prototypes...

then went to Walmart, got a sewing machine and pretty much hacked together a crude concept that actually worked, much to my surprise,” he remembered, laughing. “Once I had that sample, I was able to send it to a manufacturer overseas in Asia, and they came back with a realistic sample of what I was looking for.”

That’s when brother Sean entered the picture as an investor and partner, Renshaw said.

After the pair joined forces, they were able to order their inventory and all was set.

Their only problem? They had no way to market their new product.

Enter the Dragons.

After successfully showcasing to the Dragon’s Den panel how the Rise and Hang kept his own suit crisp and fresh, Renshaw and his brother fielded several offers of partnership on last Wednesday night’s premiere episode – but the winning offer came from Arlene Dickinson, one of Canada’s most renowned independent marketing communications entrepreneurs, and David Chilton, author of the best-selling book, The Wealthy Barber.

That deal, which is still being negotiated, saw the Renshaw brothers agree to hand over 50 per cent of their company to Dickinson and Chilton in exchange for their $100,000 investment.

Since their episode of the Dragon’s Den was filmed back in May, Renshaw said he and his brother – with support from their new investors – have reached a deal to begin selling the Rise and Hang through The Shopping Channel, with a likely launch in mid-October.

Renshaw gave major props to his alma mater for his success in the Dragon’s Den – not only for the inspiration of his student days, but because his training while enrolled in Humber’s Industrial Design program helped him hone his presentation skills to the point where he was confident enough to brave pitching to the Dragon panel.

“At Humber, I learned a lot about presentation skills, developing a new product and how to market it,” said the Class of 2009 grad. “Really, Humber actually set the foundation for me when I started this business.”

Community members share concerns over Mimico superjail CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com The community safety and security ramifications of the soon-to-be-opened Toronto South Detention Centre ( TSDC) were questioned this week, as the director of Mimico’s new ‘superjail’ shared details about the correctional facility with LAMP Community Health Centre members.

Slated to opened on the site of the old Mimico Correctional Centre sometime early next year, Rose Buhagiar said the TSDC will replace the aging Toronto Jail (more commonly known as the Don Jail) and the Toronto West Detention Centre – housing upwards of 1,650 provincial inmates. A separate wing of the facility currently houses the Toronto Intermittent Centre (TIC), a 320-bed facility for inmates serving weekend intermittent sentences that opened last December.

During her 20-minute pre-

sentation on the TSDC last Thursday night at LAMP’s Annual General Meeting – where she presented as the guest speaker – Buhagiar highlighted the security features to be implemented at the maximum security site to help quell resident anxiety over safety.

“Our security is supported by state-of-the-art systems including closed-circuit TV, touch-screen technology, metal detectors and scanner systems – and of course, our security technologies are supported by the dedicated, professional men and women of our organization, who are very highly trained,” she said, noting that although TSDC is designated ‘maximum security’ that doesn’t mean all of its inmates fall into that designation.

“Most of the inmates that will be housed at our institution will be on remand – meaning that they will be before the courts waiting for a court disposition or a deci-

‘We have a lot of offenders who have support systems, so when the back door is opened and they’re released from custody, family members come to pick them up and whisk them away so you won’t have any interaction with them.’

Rose Buhagiar, director, Toronto South Detention Centre sion on their matters,” she added.

“The remainder of the inmates will be serving provincial sentences of periods up to two-years-less-a-day.”

Buhagiar’s reassurances, however, didn’t do enough to ease the minds of TSDC’s neighbourbours, about 10 of whom took to the microphone during a 10-minute questionand-answer period to voice their concerns over the facility with the 28-year corrections veteran.

Lynda Ryder, director of human resources at National Silicates – which has a plant located right across the street from the TSDC at Kipling and Horner avenues – came to the meeting armed with safety questions for Buhagiar from her employees.

“We are a 24/7 operation and our employees are concerned. We’ve watched this institution grow and what started off as a small organization has grown and grown and grown. So, I’m here with a

question from our employees: while they work 24/7, what kind of assurances are there for our security?” she asked.

Buhagiar reassured that the vast majority of TSDC’s releases will take place during daylight hours, and that for the release of offenders that the centre has advance notice of, discharge plans are put in place to make sure the release is a safe and seamless one for the community.

“We have a lot of offenders who have support systems, so when the back door is opened and they’re released from custody, family members come to pick them up and whisk them away so you won’t have any interaction with them,” she explained.

“For the offenders who do need support, our discharge planners will ensure that we get them back to their home community by providing transportation in the most cost-effective way – generally a non-refundable bus ticket to their home community.”

In the case of the release of a high-risk offender, however, Buhagiar said protocols dictate that the local police department be informed, at which time it is incumbent on the police to alert members of the community should they deem it necessary.

When questioned about community notification in the event of an inmate escape, Buhagiar said any such decision would fall under the purview of the police.

“Should a worst case scenario occur and an offender escapes, we have an obligation to notify our Toronto Police Service,” she said. “They then have their own protocols, and we have no control over what happens with respect to notifications if an offender escapes custody.”

Any such escape, however, would be unlikely under TSDC’s stringent security measures, Buhagiar assured.

Leave transit planning to the experts

Rider rudeness not acceptable conduct on TTC T

aking transit in this city is not easy at the best of the times. Long trips and a crowded system are a daily challenge for many, so we shouldn’t be surprised incidents of rudeness and bad behaviour by other passengers are becoming a growing concern for many transit users.

Part of this is simply a reflection of the society we live in. We see rudeness everywhere. People are always in a hurry, be it while driving or trying to get on a subway train. They put themselves first and care nothing for the people around them.

In our special report in today’s paper we look at the Rude Rides experienced by a number of TTC riders.

Clearly, there are a lot of issues out there.

Riders told us of having to deal with intoxicated, swearing our view passengers themselves; being pushed aside by those charging Responsibility the doors of trains and streetof TTC to curb cars; being bumped by backpacks; or of not being able to sit bad behaviour down due to people sprawling over several seats. And don’t even get them started on the loud cellphone conversations shared with every other passenger.

Riders are dealing with this stuff everyday, but it doesn’t appear as if they’ll be getting help anytime soon from the TTC itself.

“We have a number of areas of concern, but customer behaviour isn’t even in our Top 10. It’s not what we focus on,” Chris Upfold, the TTC’s chief customer care officer, told us for this week’s story.

The focus for the TTC is on serving its riders by running on time, and having polite and helpful employees. If the riders cannot behave or have bad manners, the TTC’s position is that it is not up to its employees to scold them. “I would argue the obligation of the operator is no greater than anybody else on that vehicle,” said Upfold when it comes to dealing with a rude passenger.

We disagree. TTC passengers have a right to expect a ride free from obnoxious behaviour. We know most riders are courteous and respectful, but it only takes a few to leave a lasting impression on visitors, get already stressed passengers upset and lead to unfair perceptions of a TTC ride.

Other countries promote courtesy on their transit systems with public awareness campaigns. The TTC should do the same.

A campaign that makes people think about their behaviour and the impact it has on other passengers is much needed and should be a priority.

To the editor: Re: ‘Back to school; back to transit talk for Toronto,’ Editorial, Sept. 20.

It is not really a transit policy that is required, but simply a transit funding policy, funding that should be coming from the provincial general revenues and not from municipal taxpayers.

Yes, we need a common vision and plan for transit within the regional scope, however, that plan has to be adjustable to differing regions and user volumes.

Leave transit planning and transit vision up to the people that get paid for their expertise. Keep the politicians out of this process, other than to approve the plans and ascertain and maintain funding.

Media not there to be friends with politicians

I

t has come to this: two hours of simian chestthumping radio on a Sunday afternoon by the mayor and his brother has become the official response to questions and criticism here in the largest city in the nation.

As I write this on Tuesday morning here in the Toronto City Hall Press Gallery, my fellow scribes are reeling from a tirade from our chief magistrate and his immediate family: we have been branded “pathological liars,” embarrassments to our city, and most pointedly perhaps, as “a bunch of pricks,” by city councillor Doug Ford as he fled questions following a Monday budget committee meeting.

The outbursts are a response to a spate of bad press for the Ford brothers.

Reports have alleged the mayor used city resources to help with his high-school football coaching duties, in violation of Toronto Council’s code of conduct.

In the summer, the mayor met with city staff to urge them to hurry up and repair potholes in front of his family’s business, in advance of a 50th anniversary celebration. He justified it

by explaining that if those repairs weren’t done, someone might have twisted an ankle and sued.

And it all comes in the context of a pending decision by Ontario Chief Justice Charles Hackland, on a conflict of interest matter that could see Mayor Ford removed from office.

Vaguely obscene invective is probably not the best response to all those allegations, but it’s certainly understandable.

And it’s not without precedent. Sometimes, tempers flare.

Former Mayor Mel Lastman, for instance, once famously and publicly threatened to have thentelevision reporter Adam

Vaughan killed, because he believed that Vaughan was responsible for leaking a story about his wife to the satirical political magazine Frank. (For the record, Adam Vaughan was never killed by Mel Lastman or any of his staff in the weeks and months that followed.)

Mayor David Miller was a bit more sophisticated about it.

He avoided death-threats and cuss-outs, but he had a way of eviscerating reporters who dared to ask ill-informed or too-pointed questions that stung deep.

As a journalist covering this beat, I’ve been on the frosty end of freeze-outs by politicians who haven’t appreciated stories I’ve written about them.

Sometimes, I’ve been called names. Sometimes — and this is probably hardest to take — I’ve been simply told that the story has hurt their feelings. But it’s all an occupational hazard. The fact is that none of us in the media are here to be friends

and confidantes to the politicians we cover.

As far as the Ford brothers go, the fact is that Rob, at least, is in trouble. Details have emerged that call into question his political character as he’s presented it to voters. Where now is the harsh critic of councillors who feather their nests with public money, the everyman who vows to ensure that residents get fair treatment from city bureaucrats, when he’s accused of using his office budget for football and encouraging staff to put his own family’s needs ahead of others?

Absent good, comprehensible answers to those questions, the Fords’ response is to pose their own, rhetorical question: How dare any of us pose such disrespectful questions in the first place? n David Nickle is The Guardian’s city hall reporter.

Man arrested in attempted abduction of two-year-old girl CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Police have released the name and photo of a man accused in the brazen, daylight abduction attempt of a two-yearold girl in Etobicoke over the weekend.

According to Const. Wendy Drummond, the little girl was riding her bike while her father walked alongside her in Millwood Park at around 10:17 a.m. on Saturday when the incident occurred.

“Essentially, the accused was in a vehicle, saw the twoyear-old , fixated on her, and drove right towards her – stopping and hitting the curb,” Drummond said of the allega-

tions against the accused.

“He never took his eyes off of her, got out of the car and was screaming sexually explicit

things to the girl. He came at her with his arms open, like he was going to either embrace her or take her.”

Drummond said the girl’s father intervened immediately, but was met with resistance and had to call out for assistance to gain control of the accused. David Briggs, 46, of Mississauga, is charged with: attempted abduction of a person under 14; sexual assault; invitation to sexual touching; assault with intent to resist arrest; possession of cocaine; and possession of a controlled substance.

Police believe there may be more victims.

Police responded to the personal injury call at 264

Attwell Dr. at around 6:41 p.m. There, they found Abdulle trapped under the 2008 Toyota Camry that was allegedly driven by her 18-year-old sister.

It is reported that Abdulle had just been dropped off

Transit users speak out against bad behaviour RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com

T

he woman who spoke so loudly during her phone conversation her words could be heard in excruciating detail all the way from the back of the streetcar. The patron who charged the closing subway doors without a care for anyone around him. The time when a fight nearly broke out over a seat during rush hour.

When it comes to rude behaviour on the TTC, nearly every rider, it seems, has a story.

Some say they tolerate inconsiderate behaviour because it’s not worth getting into a potential altercation. Others have spoken up on behalf of fellow patrons being subjected to rudeness.

Amanda Hiebert recalls a time on board a Parkdale bus when an extremely intoxicated patron spewed non-stop profanities in front of small children and their parents during the heart of rush hour.

“She was cussing like she invented swear words,” said Hiebert. “I turned around and said, ‘Can you clean up your mouth?’”

For intervening, Hiebert says she received a fresh volley of abuse from the inebriated woman, who finally decamped the bus a few stops later.

“I’m not one of those people who can just sit there and say nothing,” she said.

Most patrons who spoke with Toronto Community News said the TTC should act more proactively to deal with rude riders, whether that means an awareness campaign or directing staff to intervene.

“If there was an ad campaign with some kind of statistic or something, it might strike a

TTC chief customer service officer Chris Upfold calls rudeness on the transit system a ‘societal’ issue.

chord with me,” said Hassan Ibrahim, a passenger on the 501 Queen streetcar last week.

“It’s happening in their stations, on their vehicles,” said commuter Sunny Wong, waiting for a bus at Victoria Park and Sheppard Avenue.

“There should be standards for whenever a closer you take the look TTC.” Inside But while Toronto the TTC does make announcements related to transit etiquette, such as asking riders to remove their large knapsacks during rush hour, spokesperson Chris Upfold said there are no plans to deal with the issue much more than that.

“We have a number of areas of concern, but customer behaviour isn’t even in our Top 10. It’s not what we focus on,” said Upfold, the TTC’s chief customer care officer.

“Rudeness is not something that catches my attention as being high.”

Upfold, who was hired by the TTC to improve customer care, said the transit agency’s employees shouldn’t be required to improve what he termed a “societal” issue.

“I would argue the obligation of the operator is no greater than anybody else on that vehicle,” said Upfold.

He said riders should alter their travel patterns and the times they travel in order to reduce potential disputes.

“Let’s say you travel at 8:30 a.m. and it’s tough to find a seat. Leave 15 minutes earlier and there’s a better chance you’re getting on the train,” said Upfold.

Transit agencies in other cities have taken steps to reduce rude behaviour by riders.

For the last seven years, New York City subway riders face a $50 ticket, and in some cases can even be arrested, for sitting “improperly” on a seat or taking up more than one seat.

More recently, the Paris, France rapid transit authority RATP (Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens)

launched a publicity campaign targeting rude patrons of the Metro.

Phil Wood, who retired recently from the London Underground where he was manager of operational analysis, said the rudeness of patrons riding the subway was never considered much of a problem, though laws targeting certain behaviours have proved effective.

He said Underground workers are directed not to get into confrontations with transit users, and instead are to alert the transport police responsible for patrolling the system’s 402 kilometres of track.

He recalled a regulation adopted by British lawmakers a couple of years ago that made it illegal for riders to travel the Underground with open containers of alcohol. “It’s more of a perception issue, really,

and they made a rule that put people at ease,” said Wood, who was in Toronto last week.

Upfold said the TTC is set to examine the findings from a study that examined nearly 5,000 rider complaints in hopes of offering better service.

But he said rudeness on the TTC, just as it exists in other places in the city, would remain a reality.

“TTC is part of society,” he said.

“The problems we face are the same as what society faces.”

Valentino Assenza, who commutes to work downtown from the Beach via the TTC, said while he’d like to see steps taken to address the issue of rudeness, he was unsure how it should proceed.

“It’s hard to legislate courtesy,” he said. “How we go about enforcing this, I don’t really know.”

Transit takers at Kipling Station last week were unsure what rude actions ticked them off the most while on the TTC. But most agreed they would like something to be done about it.

“You wouldn’t stand for that type of behaviour eating dinner at a restaurant with your kids,” said Dave S., who declined to provide his last name.

“So why is it okay on the TTC?” For Fatima Benson, the burden for improving respect should fall on commuters. The college student said she was tired of seeing people avert their eyes from rude conduct.

“So many people on transit don’t feel the need to get involved because they’re in a public space,” said Benson, who was on her way to Humber College.

“They think they’re anonymous.” give up seat for elderly She recalled an episode where she successfully pressured a younger rider to give up his seat for an elderly person without any assistance from her fellow transit takers.

“Afterwards everyone around me says they were planning to step in.

Yeah, right,” said Benson.

James Martin said people are often unaware they are inconveniencing fellow patrons.

“I found the best thing to do is to let people know they’re behaving rudely, but be polite about it.

Most people will apologize right away,” said Martin, a retired stockbroker.

A TTC bus driver said he rarely steps in to curb rude behavior unless it is disrupting the ride.

He said most of his colleagues do the same.

“It’s not worth it to get involved most of the time,” said the driver who wished to remain anonymous.

The driver said he was more likely to help someone if they treated him respect.

“Swear or take your anger out on me and no way you’re going to get my help,” he said.

TTC considers five-cent fare hike DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com To r o n t o Tr a n s i t Commissioners will be considering imposing a five cent fare hike in the new year, boosting the costs of tokens and Metropasses but leav-

ing the adult cash fare intact.

The fare hike was expected to be tabled at yesterday’s meeting of the TTC, when the transit service’s CEO Andy Byford was to present his recommended operating and capital budgets for

2013.

The five cent hike actually represents a roll-back from the 10-cent fare hike that the commission approved in principle earlier this year.

According to TTC Chair Karen Stintz, the five-cent hike is an inflationary increase.

“Out of last year’s budget we approved a framework that fares would increase at the rate of inflation and no more,” said Stintz.

“We’re trying to put together a budget that is fair to riders but recognizes that the subsidy that we get from the city will remain flat.”

The commission last raised fares in December, 2011 – a 10 cent hike. The commission itself, meanwhile, has been experiencing higher ridership than expected and has found some efficiencies, and is expected to run a

small surplus.

But that surplus won’t help keep fares down in 2013, because under the city’s financial rules any surplus the TTC generates must be returned to the city.

Stintz said that in order to hold off on a fare hike, the TTC would have to be able to retain its surplus.

“That’s a discussion I need to have with the city manager, but right now that’s not the way the rules are,” she said. “If we have a surplus we turn it back to the city.”

The TTC will need to know about any changes sooner rather than later.

In order to gain the full benefit of the fare hike, it will have to be imposed at the beginning of January.

The city’s budget won’t be passed by council before the end of that month.

Private sector to run LRT lines: Metrolinx RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com The CEO for the TTC says he’s disappointed about a decision made by Metrolinx to restrict the operation of four planned light rail transit lines (LRT) to the private sector.

Andy Byford said he was concerned by the choice of Metrolinx to overrule the TTC and turn over the running of the EglintonScarborough Crosstown, Finch, Sheppard and Scarborough LRT lines to a private sector operator when the first of the lines begins running in 2020.

Having the TTC in charge of operating the LRT lines would have been much simpler from a maintenance and operating standpoint, said Byford last Thursday.

“Our preference was to lead operations on the lines because it would have been simpler to integrate the systems,” said Byford.

He said the TTC continues to work with Metrolinx on co-ordination efforts, and that discussions between the two parties remained “professional,

productive and amicable.”

Joe Mihevc, former vicechair of the TTC, said he is concerned Metrolinx’s decision will result in scheduling chaos for transit riders.

“You’re creating multiple transit systems in this city and that’s not healthy,” said Mihevc, longtime councillor for St. Paul’s West.

Concerns about integrating the separate transit systems are unwarranted, said Metrolinx spokesperson Vanessa Thomas She said GO Transit, which is run by Metrolinx, frequently makes use of the “TTC protocol”, which allows GO riders the ability to travel for free on the TTC in the event of lengthy service disruptions.

“The protocols are already in place,” said Thomas.

She said riders will only have to pay one fare to use both transit systems, with the cost of the fare determined based on what the TTC charges at the time.

Riders will also be able to transfer between the two systems at no additional cost.

Don’t forget to adjust your headrest While buckling seatbelts is second nature when getting into a car—how many of us think to adjust the headrest? Reports show that headrests are one of the most overlooked safety features in motor vehicles today and many don't realize the important role they play in preventing neck, brain and spinal cord related injuries.

Headrests are designed to work alongside the seatbelt so that when an accident occurs it prevents the head from twisting backwards, which subsequently results in whiplash. Drivers can sustain an injury from an incorrectly adjusted headrest even at speeds as low as

15 kilometres per hour—the same speed as the average bicycle.

According to a Canadian insurance study, only 14 per cent of drivers on the road have their headrest in the proper position. And whiplash being the most common soft tissue injury incurred during auto collisions underlines the importance for all passengers to ensure their headrest is adjusted properly.

Drivers should follow three simple steps in order to prevent injuries associated with improper headrest position: • The top of the headrest should be in a straight line with the top of your head.

• Position the centre of your head-

rest so that it is just slightly above the top of the ear.

• Ensure that the distance between the headrest and the back of the head is between five and ten centimetres.

An important message for local

families with multiple drivers is that the next time you get in your vehicle remember to use your brain and adjust your headrest. More information is available from your insurance broker.
