Playground Games get children off the sidelines Event more important during violent summer, organizer says LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com

uring a summer of violence in Toronto, this year’s Playground Games in North York are more important than ever, the organizer says. The one-day event has taken place for more than a dozen years in the city and would have pro-
ceeded without the series of fatal shootings that have made headlines in recent weeks, said Dawn MacDonald, executive director of KidSport Ontario. But this summer’s violent gunplay, including a mass shooting at a barbecue on Danzig Street in Scarborough July 16 that left two dead, a shooting at the Eaton Centre that killed two people on

Children without positive opportunities are often not equipped to avoid the lure of gangs, MacDonald said. @NorthYorkMirror
On Aug. 9, about 300 children aged six to 14 will take part in Playground Games at Monsignor Fraser College on Norfinch Drive near Finch Avenue and Hwy. 400. “We want to let people know there are really good things happening across the city,” MacDonald said.

Toronto firefighters work to extinguish a massive blaze at Sunrise Propane Industrial Gases in the early hours of Aug. 10, 2008.
Class action lawsuit against Sunrise Propane can proceed
August 2008 explosion killed one employee, affected thousands of residents FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com A class action lawsuit can proceed in the Sunrise Propane explosion that killed one person and displaced thousands in August 2008, an Ontario court justice said in a ruling Monday. “The defendants do not dispute that a class action is the preferable procedure,” Justice Carolyn Horkins wrote in her decision. “I am satisfied that it is. This class proceeding will provide thousand(s) of class members with access to justice. If found liable, the defendants will be required to account for the harm they caused and this will promote behaviour in relation to the safe operation of a propane facility.” The explosion on Murray Road on Aug. 10, 2008 killed Sunrise employee Parminder Singh Saini, 25, forced the evacuation of 12,500 residents and caused more than $25 million in damages.
‘At the end of the day, the question of who’s responsible for the explosion will be answered.’ – Sharon Strosberg, lawyer A Toronto firefighter, Bob Leek, died of a heart attack during the response. The lawsuit named defendants Sunrise Propane Energy Group Inc., the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) and a number of suppliers to Sunrise. The lawsuit affects residents living in an area bounded by Keele Street, Hwy. 401, Sheppard Avenue and Dufferin Street. Sharon Strosberg of Sutts, Strosberg LLP, one of the lawyers with the eight firms involved in the lawsuit, said all affected residents are included in the suit unless
they choose to opt out, for which they have 60 days to make a decision. “Only then can we tell the number of people involved in the suit,” she said. If successful, the amount residents will receive will vary, as defined by the damage or inconvenience incurred, she said. “Some were out of their homes for an extended period of time, some were injured, some had substantial damage to their home,” Strosberg said. “If there is a message I can send out, it would be it’s essential to register for the suit. At the end of the day, the question of who’s responsible for the explosion will be answered.” Affected residents can register to join the class action suit at www.sunrisepropaneclassaction.com Co u n s e l f o r Su n r i s e Propane and the TSSA did not respond to requests for comment by The Mirror’s deadline.
A North York community gathered Saturday for a community barbecue in a park that once appeared destined for development. “I’m so happy that we were able to save the parkland for the local residents,” York Centre Councillor Maria Augimeri told The Mirror. “Other than this space, they have no other play area in the Anthony community.” The park is behind MukiBaum Treatment Centres for children and adults with complex disabilities, which runs its children’s day treatment program out of the location at 111 Anthony Rd., The centre was once home to Anthony Road Public School. When the Toronto District School Board decided to sell the property, residents feared the community would lose its only greenspace, Augimeri said.

“When the school board had decided to put the property on the open market, the community panicked for fear that developers would scoop up the land,” she said. “In addition, the families of students currently attending the MukiBaum institute... feared for the future of their children.” Augimeri formed a com-
munity panel, which helped convince the city to buy the land for $700,000 and save the building as well. Saturday’s ribbon cutting and community barbecue celebrated the transfer of the land to the city. Augimeri is conducting a door-to-door poll asking residents what they would like to see in the park.

TAVIS makes true connection with community
P
ermanent funding for the Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy (TAVIS) must lead to high neighbourhood visibility. This week, following a meeting which included Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair and Mayor Rob Ford, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty pledged to provide permanent funding for the program. Since its creation in 2006, TAVIS has relied on funding extensions from the province to keep going. The program, run by Toronto police, was formed in 2006 in response to a sharp spike in our view gun violence the previous year in the city, combatting guns and gangs Permanent through rapid response teams. There’s also a neighbourhood funding initiative that focuses on specific areas of the city each summer. This just a start year, it’s operating in the Jamestown area of Etobicoke and the Jane Street corridor in North York. Last year, it was set up in the Brimley Road and Eglinton Avenue area in Scarborough, as well as the Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue area in York. That the TAVIS funding is to be permanent is encouraging news but it’s only a step. Toronto police must now seize the opportunity provided by this security and build on previous successes. The program has been credited with more than 19,000 arrests and the seizure of more than 1,200 firearms. Critics lament that neighbourhood challenges resurface once a particular program wraps up and the increased police visibility is reduced. While we understand TAVIS isn’t designed to involve a permanent stepped-up police presence, improving results in this area must be an ongoing goal. A successful program goes beyond arrest totals, and is one where neighbourhood residents take greater ownership and pride in where they live and feel more comfortable approaching law enforcement. It’s about nurturing a partnership. For police, this means clear reporting to community and volunteer organizations. At its best, TAVIS is more than a reaction; it’s an investment in a community. Last week, in the wake of a spate of fatal shootings across the city, we issued a call for increased visibility from both residents and police. Blair himself at a news conference yesterday, unveiled a plan for increased deployment of officers across Toronto. Ultimately, no matter how strong an initiative it is, TAVIS must continue to evolve and grow along with the specific communities it’s tasked with reaching. Doing so by increasing visibility at the neighbourhood level is a great place to focus. Only that way can a true community connection be forged.

To the editor: Re: ‘City council decisions a joke,’ Letters, July 20. Wow. The letter-writer’s Kingston family members feel sorry for Toronto residents, and council’s decisions have “turned Toronto into a joke.” Council messes up for each of us some of the time, but they must have made some good decisions over the years for Toronto to have so much to offer. So Kingston, feel sorry for us for enjoying the following: One of the biggest and best library systems in the world; one of the world’s great multicultural cities; one of the top theatre centres in North America; a non-stop summer of amazing festivals; one of the world’s great film festivals; beautiful parks; sports teams to live or die with; Kensington and St. Lawrence markets; worldrenowned schools; an unbeatable assortment of restaurants; eye-catching architecture; and a waterfront that is finally coming to life.

Opportune time to re-think city’s policing objectives
T
he two main reports concerning police response to Toronto’s G20 summit have now been presented. Their findings are along the lines expected: there was not enough time to plan, that communication was poor, and charges ought to be laid against certain officers. In accepting the recommendations from retired judge John Morden, the Police Services Board chair acknowledged that the Board exercised ineffective oversight during the event. The recommendations have been approved in principle, and sent off for further study until October. Both reports do a credible job of addressing details of what went so badly wrong. They suggest procedures to make sure officers retain their badges numbers, how to better respect citizens’ rights, and how the board should communicate with
Beyond the headlines

stakeholders. These steps are in the right direction. But the root of these problems is a secretive, tightly-knit and protective culture that allows issues to fester. Morden’s report is full of examples of internal repression. In one instance a Board member was told not to ask questions about how equipment would be used on the public. To be fair, policing must keep secrets. Our police must also enjoy the confidence of other services. The prohibition for board members not involving themselves in individual operational decisions is crit-
ical for public confidence. Yet in both reports there is a pervasive theme of a Board so paralyzed by fear of overstepping boundaries that it is unable to undertake due diligence, and thus fails in its fundamental objective of exercising oversight. The response to this great problem is to put in place more procedures, training, and planning. In a number of places the reports give detailed direction. These are helpful but limited recommendations. Neither report addresses the very difficult issue of changing the culture of the board and the Toronto Police Service without jeopardizing the safety of millions. Solving problems caused by responding to protesters at the G20 summit will only go so far. The next big challenge will be as unforeseen, difficult and overwhelming. Without skills in looking
forward, the future will seem even more intimidating, and it will be too easy to slip into old habits. One way to break this unhealthy routine, plus build upon the recommendations, is for the Board to reach out beyond the chief and his officers, beyond the judges and legislators, all the way to the public. It can involve a new generation of Torontonians to seek their expectations for policing. From these consultations will come a vision and objectives that the Board can affirm into a strategic plan. Now is an opportune time to rethink Toronto’s policing objectives, to refresh the credibility of the board and to establish a new culture at police headquarters. n David Soknacki is a former City of Toronto councillor and budget chief.

“What KidSport does is work with families that are under-resourced,” MacDonald said. “Although a day of games (at Playground Games) isn’t going to change behaviour, it does get a message out and we always, always get more referrals (to sign up for sports teams).” Police Chief Bill Blair will be the guest speaker at the event, which will also include appearances by members of Toronto FC, and Canadian Olympians Vicky Sunohara and Brady Reardon.

Man charged in sex assault SIU clears police officer in fatal shooting of man who stabbed him Shooting occurred during arrest over drugs following traffic stop FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has cleared a Toronto police officer in the April 15 shooting death of a man in North York. The SIU assigned eight investigators and two forensic investigators to probe the circumstances of 38-yearold Peter Lumanglas’ death. The subject officer, Const. Jeff Blair, consented to an interview with the SIU and provided a copy of his duty notes. In addition, 11 witness officers and 14 civilian witnesses were interviewed. According to the SIU, Blair was conducting traffic enforcement using radar on Allen Road, north of Lawrence Avenue, when he clocked a black Caravan travelling northbound at 146 kilometres per hour. The officer began pursuing the Caravan. The Caravan went into the eastbound Hwy. 401 collector lanes, Blair got the licence plate number and called it into dispatch. Shortly afterwards, the Caravan left the highway
2012
on the Avenue Road ramp. A short chase led to Bombay Avenue before it was called off, the SIU said. Blair then saw a man, later identified as Lumanglas, walking quickly on nearby Northmount Avenue, the SIU said. Blair questioned the man and determined he was the driver of the Caravan and informed him he was under arrest. After finding a pocket knife, drug paraphernalia and what he believed were drugs, Blair told Lumanglas he was also under arrest for possession. From there, the SIU said Lumanglas lunged forward, grabbed the knife and stabbed Blair three times, twice in the arm and once in the neck. After the officer drew his gun, Lumanglas came at Blair with the knife raised above his head, according to the SIU. Blair then fired at least three shots at Lumanglas’ torso, causing him to fall. After the accused got up, Blair could not see the knife and fired two more shots. Lumanglas was taken to hospital and died five days later. The officer recovered from his injuries. “(Const.) Blair had reasonable

grounds to arrest Mr. Lumanglas based upon his observations of his dangerous driving and failing to stop for the police,” SIU director Ian Scott said. “While he did not see Mr. Lumanglas exit the Caravan, he saw him in close proximity both in time and location to his last sighting of the pursued vehicle,” said Scott. “When one adds Mr. Lumanglas’ demeanour and lack of responsive answers, I am of the view that the subject officer had articulable grounds to believe that Mr. Lumanglas was the individual recently driving in a dangerous manner...for reasons that will never be answered, Mr. Lumanglas took great exception to the arrest for drugs, broke away from the subject officer, grabbed the pocket knife from the trunk of the police cruiser, opened the blade and made a concerted effort to kill the officer.” The SIU is an arm’s-length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
A man has been charged after a 38-year-old woman was sexually assaulted while walking in E.T. Seton Park Tuesday. Police said the woman was approached by a man on a bicycle and sexually assaulted around 9 a.m. A suspect fled through the park, heading north-east. At 3:30 p.m. the same day, Waleed Khalid Awan, 18, was arrested and charged with sexual assault. Police believe there may be witnesses and are asking for them to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call the sex crimes unit at 416-808-7474 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
n Child porn charges
A North York senior has been arrested in an ongoing probe into child pornography. Toronto police report that between May 18, 2011 and July 11, 2012 the accused is alleged to have possessed child pornography in his home in the 32 Division area. James McTurk, 77, was arrested Tuesday and charged with possession of child pornography, accessing child pornography and importing child pornography exploitation. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-8500,
Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com, text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637), or Leave A Tip on Facebook.
n Loaded handgun seized
A man and woman have been charged with 12 gun-related offences after a loaded .40 calibre Ruger handgun was seized Tuesday. Police allegedly discovered the gun during a traffic stop in the Eglinton Avenue and Sloan Avenue area. Michael Grey, 39, and Julie Denny, 36, both of Toronto, were each charged with six gun-related offences. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-5400 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477.
n Shot man critical
A 31-year-old man shot in the head in the Jane-Finch neighbourhood Friday night remains in critical condition in hospital. Police said the victim’s condition is so grave that the homicide squad is investigating the case. The victim was reportedly shot during an attempted robbery on Driftwood Court at about 10 p.m. He was taken to Sunnybrook hospital for emergency treatment.

Mother/daughter chinchilla duo come as a package deal O
ur pets of the month feature two little chinchillas who would love a home together, and an energetic border collie mix who loves playing with other dogs and would like an active adopter. Zoe and Zandra are a mother-daughter pair of chinchillas that were removed from a hoarding situation in September 2011. When Zandra was rescued she was pregnant and promptly gave birth to two kits. The male “chin” was quickly adopted by a loving family but the little female wasn’t and mother and daughter are now inseparable. To learn more about Zandra and Zoe, visit www. canadianchinchillarescue. webs.com

n Kain needs a home
Kain is a neutered male border collie/German shepherd mix who is four years old and weighs in at 50 pounds. He is fairly high energy and would do best in an active household where he gets to go out and play and get lots of exercise. He would be a great dog park dog, as he loves playing

with other dogs and gets along with every dog he meets. He is well socialized with people and excellent with cats as well; he does not guard food or toys. When properly exercised Kain is very well behaved in the house. He is completely house trained, does not chew, rarely barks, and is very good in his crate. He has no issues being left alone. Kain has some touch sensitivity and is not comfortable having his feet touched, wiped or squeezed. His foster mom has been working on desensitizing him and he has much improved, but because of this issue he is best suited to a home without young children (older children/teens would be fine). If you are interested in knowing more about Kain, contact Rat Terrier Rescue (they’ve made Kain an honourary member) at www. ratterrierrescue.ca, email dmccaskill1@gmail.com or call 519-836-8887.

campsites and trailer parks. A few summer tips to consider include: • ensure your pet is microchipped and wearing up-to-date tags on its collar • keep pets safe and secure during thunderstorms or firework displays; many pets will bolt and run frantically to get away • note that not all dogs instinctively know how to swim, so go slowly and with patience and encouragement, don’t force them in. Although this should not need reiteration, never leave any pet in a car on hot or even warm summer day. On a 25 C day, the temperature inside a parked car can soar to between 38 and 48 C in just minutes. n Lorraine Houston is director of Speaking of Dogs, an organization devoted to education, outreach and rescue.

Play a piano to celebrate PanAm Games LAURA BOOTH lbooth@insidetoronto.com Painted pianos sit in 41 locations across Toronto, inviting passersby to play. Launched on July 10, the interactive public art project, titled Play Me I’m Yours, similar to the Moose of 2000 where 326 life-sized moose sculptures sat on streets of Toronto, is part of the three-year countdown to the Pan and Para American Games. Local artists, each with roots in one of 41 countries participating in the 2015
Games, were asked to paint a piano inspired by their origins. “I thought this was a really nice opportunity. I’m from St. Kitts, Nevis,” said Eleanor Hendrickson, whose piano, inspired by her childhood memories of Christmas and Carnival, has been placed at the Downsview subway station. The project is meant to engage the public, connect arts and culture with the Games and celebrate diversity within the city, said Don Shapley, the creative

Car maintenance and care: getting back to the basics New vehicle buyers are discovering an increasing number of advanced engine technologies to choose from, while existing owners are opting to keep their vehicles on the road longer. In fact, a recent report from DesRosiers Automotive Con-
sultants shows a 20 per cent increase over the past five years in the number of vehicles on the road that are 16 years or older. Whether you're looking to protect your new investment, or prolong your old one, mechanics suggest the key is getting
Mechanics agree there’s a difference between high quality and low quality fuels, with 85 per cent believing that the top benefit of using a high quality gasoline is optimized engine performance.
back to the basics. Nine out of 10 Canadian mechanics surveyed by Leger Marketing report the top mistake they see vehicle owners make is only bringing in their vehicle for servicing once a problem arises. To prevent costly breakdowns, keep up with your maintenance schedule. Check your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended oil change intervals based on the conditions under which you typically drive, such as “normal� or “severe service.� Replace your oil filter with every oil change, and use a highquality motor oil that meets the specifications recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer to help your engine get the protection it needs. To keep vehicles running better for the long haul, engine health is important as well. You can help optimize performance, lower emissions and obtain better fuel economy by using a high-quality gasoline which protects critical engine parts from the build-up of “gunk�- carbon deposits which have a porous surface and act as a sponge, absorbing and trapping gasoline on intake valves, and impairing the flow of gasoline through fuel injectors. The same Leger survey found that 87 per cent of mechanics agree there's a difference between high quality and low quality fuels, with 85 per cent responding that they believe that the top benefit of using a high quality gasoline is optimized engine performance. “Consumers are increasingly focused on protecting and maintaining their vehicles and should be more conscious about the quality of the products they put into them,� says Jim Macias, a fuels technology
manager at Shell. In addition to engine oil, 84 per cent of mechanics say that vehicle owners can extend the life of their vehicle's engine by simply monitoring the other lubricants and fluids in their engine regularly.
Check the owner's manual to find information about where fluids are contained, exactly how to check them, the type your vehicle uses and how much should be in each reservoir. If you see drops of fluid un-
der your vehicle, you should be able to identify them by color or consistency. A few small drops are probably not a cause for concern, but if you notice small puddles, be sure to consult your mechanic. – News Canada

You who will give the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank You for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from You no matter how great the material desire may be. I want to be with You and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory, Amen. Person must pray this 3 consecutive days without stating one’s wish. After the 3rd day your wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Promise to publish this as soon Our Mother of Perpetual Help as your favour has been granted. – M.T.
