Councillor calls for ‘speculation tax’ in Toronto to cool ‘insane’ house prices MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Toronto needs a “land speculation tax” on some foreign home buyers, says a North York councillor whose ward has seen some of the city’s biggest price jumps.

In Willowdale, costs for detached homes, “have gone completely insane, and it’s fueled very much by money which is coming from other countries,” John Filion said this week.

Jim Karygiannis, a Scarborough councillor calling for a tax on foreign buyers, said a poll he commissioned l a s t m o n t h s h ow s m o s t Torontonians agree with the idea.

Filion, whose ward includes Yonge Street between Highway 401 and Finch Avenue, said a tax is a good idea, but only for foreign investors “who just buy up properties and flip them.”

Models with facial differences shine on catwalk FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Katie Atkinson believes everyone should feel beautiful - facial difference or not.

T h e 1 8 - ye a r- o l d w a s b o r n w i t h Tr e a c h e r Collins syndrome, which affects the head and face.

Characteristics include down-slanting eyes, notched lower eyelids, underdevelopment or absence of cheekbones, and underdeveloped, malformed and/or prominent ears. She also has a cleft palate.

But the Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue resident, who is in her first year of general social sciences at McMaster University, doesn’t want your pity - or your stares.

Atkinson, who has accessed ser vices from AboutFace, a Canada-wide North York based charity offering support to people with facial differences since she was a newborn, will be one of 16 models strutting down the runway for the charity’s first fashion show,

Light Up the Night, Friday, Oct. 28 in Brampton.

The show, which will feature fitness, casual, and evening wear, aims to promote beauty through diversity, uniqueness and confidence by increasing awareness of facial differences, while at the same time creating a forum for individuals with facial differences to share who they are with the public, said Anna Pileggi, executive director of AboutFace.

It was while talking with a friend she met through AboutFace that Atkinson decided to ask Pileggi somewhat jokingly - if they could organize a fashion show.

“I love fashion so much and I’m growing up in a society that values face value, literally,” Atkinson said. “It’s hard enough to look quote unquote ‘normal’, but with a facial difference it’s that much harder. Fashion should be about art and I want to show we are all beautiful.”

Atkinson isn’t just walking the runway, she’s also helping with outfit choices, organizing, and the playlist,

Katie Atkinson, who has Treacher Collins syndrome, came up with the idea for About Face’s Light Up the Night fashion show. About Face is a charitable organization offering support to people living with facial differences.

adding she’s most excited for a royal blue princess ball

gown she’ll be sporting on the catwalk.

And she’ll be surrounded by fellow models ranging in age from 15 to 49 who all have facial differences.

“You can just be yourself and not bullied,” she said of the friends she’s made from AboutFace. “We’re still all normal teenagers and want to hang out with friends.”

The articulate young woman has had to deal with being excluded from games as a youngster simply because she looked different, and although people still stare as she walks down the street, the looks have eased up, she said.

As for how she handles those looking at her, it depends on the day.

“Sometimes I’ll stare back and say ‘ya, so?’” she said.

“Or I’ll smile, or I’ll look away.”

And her reaction to questions depends on the tone of the questioner.

“I try my best to be polite,” Atkinson said. “Sometimes kids will say, ‘how come you look so weird?’”

The biggest misconception she has to deal with is the assumption she has a

mental disability.

“People will talk down to me like I’m a little kid,” she said. “We’re all very smart, talented, and funny. We’re not some weird Boo Radley (To Kill a Mockingbird character) living in the shadows.”

Pileggi admits she was initially concerned with the fashion show idea, noting she was worried not all AboutFace members are as confident as Atkinson.

But her fear was quickly put to rest following the positive response it received.

For the models, some of whom were born with port wine stains (purple birth marks), cleft palates, and Crouzon syndrome (genetic disorder characterized by the premature fusion of certain skull bone), the fashion show is a chance for “young people to strut their stuff, be confident, and be in the spotlight in a positive way.”

Patient raising money for SickKids Hospital through cookbook Angel Blainey is hoping to inspire others through her love of food while raising money for the hospital that has provided her care for the past two years.

Baby animals at the zoo signify reproductive win

Write us

E

veryone loves baby animals.

Visitors have flocked to see the brand new additions to the Toronto Zoo, which include Juno the polar bear cub, Rey the zebra filly, and arguably the most popular, the panda bear cubs Jia Panpan and Jia Yueyue who recently celebrated their first birthday.

While seeing the cute baby animals are worth the price of admission, what’s equally impressive is the work that goes behind the scenes to bring these animals to life - literally.

The special report this week explores the fascinating world of Dr. Gabriela Mastromonaco, curator of the Toronto Zoo’s reproductive programs and research.

Our VieW She along with her team and visiting scientists work together Work helps to investigate problems related reproduction in non-domestic to conserve to species.

It’s always preferred for animals species to breed on their own, notes Mastromonaco, but sometimes there are behavioural or medical issues at play.

Other times, it’s a lack of a suitable partner that prevent mating to occur, in which case semen that is collected to freeze for insemination might have to be flown in.

The problem could also lie in not creating the right environment or mood for animals to procreate.

Mastromonaco, who works with more than 50 species a year, admits though trying to figure out exactly which fertility treatments work and which ones don’t is still an ongoing challenge.

But whatever the issue a particular species might have, the Toronto Zoo’s goal is to assist with the care and management of both captive and free-ranging populations in an effort to maintain reproductive health and ensure the preservation of genetic diversity.

In other words, the zoo hopes to produce offspring to keep the numbers of endangered and vulnerable species up.

That includes the polar bear, the Indian rhinoceros, cheetah and giant panda, to name a few, as listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, an international organization focused in the field of nature conservation.

What to call the young Leafs line?

I need your help loyal readers. The reason I’m reaching out is that I have a funny feeling that the Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Zach Hyman trio is going to end up getting dubbed “The Kid Line.”

It’s not that it isn’t a catchy phrase. It is. Or isn’t a fitting phrase. It’s that, too.

Very much so.

The problem is, it’s not original. There already was a Kid Line.

On your very own Maple Leafs, in fact. From 1929 1936.

The line consisted of centre Joe Primeau, in between right winger Charlie Conacher and left winger Harvey “Busher” Jackson, all of whom are in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

I remember that line like it was yesterday. No, not because I was around back then, smarty pants. That was way before my time.

Yes, way. Very way. How way is besides the point.

I only remember it like it

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY was yesterday because it was yesterday that I made a point of going back and looking up The Kid Line’s bios again.

What prompted me to do that was seeing all three grace the Top 100 Maple Leafs list of all time that was introduced during that special centennial celebration at the Air Canada Centre before the opening home game last Saturday night.

I seemed to recall that they were even younger than the current young troika but I wanted to make absolutely sure.

It turns out I was right.

When it comes to kids being kids, they indeed were more junior than today’s group.

Primeau was only 23, and Conacher and Jackson were both just 18 when they all first hit the ice together.

Meanwhile, left-winger

Hyman is 24, right-winger Nylander is 20 and centre Matthews is 19.

There have been a few more Kid Lines since then in the NHL, but the name only caught on with the fans of the teams they played on.

There is only one real Kid Line. Primeau, Conacher and Jackson.

So no Kid Line 2, OK? Or Kid Line II. Over to you. The ball is in your court.

If you can say that when talking about hockey. But you better get the lead out.

Or the ink out, if you’re using a pen instead of a pencil to come up with a name.

There’s no way of knowing how long Matthews, Nylander and Hyman will remain a unit. Coaches typically like to experiment with different combinations in order to keep the players from getting complacent or having them get comfortable with a bunch of players, but also to give the team

different looks to keep the opposition off guard. They could each have two different linemates if you wait too long.

A unique name is a must.

Matthews, Nylander and Hyman deserve a handle created just for them.

With that in mind, that means ixnay to The New Kids On The Block, which I fear is likely running a close second to Kid Line.

Not just because it is also associated with another group, but more importantly the New Kids On The Block aren’t kids anymore.

They’re all pushing 40-something.

What’s more, it’s probably been a while since they’ve been anywhere near the block, let alone on it.

They’re likely everywhere but on the block when you get right down to it.

Brock Doors & Windows completes $25,000 home makeover for winner On Saturday Oct. 15, Brock Doors and Windows completed the $25,000 home transformation for their sweepstakes winners. Ilmars and Debra Krievins won the $25,000 Window Door and More contest via a random draw nearly one year ago.

The couple was away on vacation when the draw took place, and returned home to a great surprise.

Brock Doors and Windows installed brand new windows, alongside a beautiful front door system

and patio door for the lucky winning couple.

“We have been transforming homes in the GTA for over 26 years, we only just began this draw two years ago; with the idea of giving back to the community that has kept us in business for so many years.” says Reputation Manager Steavi Potter. The next draw will take place in May 2017. You can enter the contest online at www.brockwindows.com/sweepstakes.

With gold trowels in hand and yellow construction hats on their heads, kindergarten students at Avondale Public School helped dig dirt that will be cleared to make way for their new school building during a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday, Oct. 13.

With the old school demolished, which also included Av o n d a l e E l e m e n t a r y Alternative School, construction crews have begun clearing the property on Oakburn Crescent, southeast of Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue, with the aim of having the building open in January 2018.

The Oakburn Centre East Building, used for administrative purposes, was also demolished to allow the Avondale schoolyard to be extended west by about 10 metres.

Dan Pearce/MetrolanD

Avondale's kindergarten class with help from grade 7 to 8 students get ready to dig to break ground to celebrate the construction of the new Avondale Public School.

The old building, which housed just under 300 students, was too small for the growing number of residents who mainly occupy condominiums in busy downtown North York.

The new two-storey building, which can accommodate 553 pupils, will house both schools and a 72-space child-care centre in floor

space totaling 60,476 square feet.

The new school will include five kindergarten classrooms, 16 standard classrooms, and science and technology, art, and music classrooms. And if more space is needed down the road, the building’s design has the capacity for a third storey.

Procreation problem solvers get a little wild The reproductive physiology unit at the Toronto Zoo helps animals make babies Fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com For two years, the female patient suffered from irregular menstrual cycles.

Doctors were about to explore assisted fertility options when she became pregnant on her own.

In another case, fertility specialists were stumped as to why another female patient could not conceive - until a recording of rain shower sounds was enough to get her in the mood and get the job done naturally.

Those treated by Dr. Gabriela Mastromonaco aren’t your typical patients seeking reproductive assistance.

T h e y a re h o u s e d i n Scarborough’s Toronto Zoo, specifically selected for artificial insemination in hopes of producing offspring to keep the numbers of their species up and, if possible, releasing these animals back into their natural habitats.

INVESTIGATING PROBLEMS According to the Toronto Zoo, it’s the only Canadian zoo with a reproductive physiologist on staff. Located within the Animal Health Centre, the reproductive physiology unit is made up of two laboratories, the endocrinology lab and gamete biology lab, where staff, students and visiting scientists work together to investigate fundamental problems related to reproduction in non-domestic species. The goal is to assist with the care and management of captive and free-ranging populations in an effort to maintain reproductive health and ensure the preservation of genetic diversity.

Mastromonaco, curator of the Meadowvale Road and Old Finch Avenue zoo’s reproductive programs and research, said it’s always preferred for animals to breed on their own, but for a number of reasons - some known, some not - that might be easier said than done.

There could be behavioural

or medical issues at play, or lack of a male paramour, in which case semen would have to be flown in.

Very much similar to fertility testing humans go through, animal hormones are tested in a lab to look for abnormalities, cycles are monitored, and semen is collected to freeze for insemination, Mastromonaco said, adding she works with more than 50 species a year.

And like humans, animals can go on birth control pills the same women would use - if the zoo isn’t trying to breed a particular species, she said, adding the gorillas are currently on contraception.

The Toronto Zoo’s reproductive program, which began in 1988 (prior to this all breeding was done naturally), lends its support to other zoos, primarily within Canada, Mastromonaco said.

And though she’s been at the program’s helm for a decade, she still has a lot to learn about the reproductive health of the animals treated.

The zoo’s animals typically try to conceive on their own for two to three years before Mastromonaco and her team step in, who will then evaluate “why babies aren’t coming,” she said.

Sometimes the issue isn’t physical. Sometimes it’s as simple as creating the right atmosphere - hence the rain shower music.

Ryan Pfieffer/METROLAND

THE LYNX They might not be the most popular draw at the Toronto Zoo, but the Canada lynx still claws in quite the crowd.

Ember and her two female kittens, who were born sometime in April 2016 (the exact date is not known as Ember locked herself in a den for days before emerging with her new offspring), delight both national and international visitors who want to see animals native to Canada.

The kittens, who have not been named, are playful and relaxed, and will stay with Ember until next spring, said Brad de Wolde of Enniskillen, Ontario, zoo keeper of the Canadian domain.

The siblings spend their days climbing, exploring, and learning hunting skills from their mom, while feasting on a diet made up of ground and raw meat on bones.

Bearing a close resemblance to a giant house c at , the Canada lynx has a very short body, small tail, and long legs.

It can be found in the wild in boreal forests across Canada, from Newfoundland to the Yukon, along with Western Manitoba, Idaho, Washington, and Utah.

But as easy as that may sound, pinpointing fertility treatment and what works and what doesn’t is still something Mastromonaco

THE PANDAS

Steve Somerville/METROLAND

The Toronto Zoo’s reproductive programs are led by Dr. Gabriela Mastromonaco.

is figuring out.

An Indian rhino calf lost a pregnancy because she didn’t have enough progesterone to sustain it. Cheetahs have undergone treatment for five or six years without producing offspring.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), an international organization focused in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, has listed the Indian rhinoceros, polar bear, cheetah, and giant panda some of Toronto Zoo’s biggest draws - as vulnerable.

Come next year, the reproductive program currently housed in two rooms inside a 40-year-old building will move into a state-of-theart facility, which will allow Mastromonaco and her staff

more research equipment and space to house and transfer animals more easily, she said, adding the old site will be used as a curatorial lab.

Bison insemination is the next “big project” for Mastromonaco, adding the zoo has kept 35-year-old bison sperm frozen in the lab.

“As long as the samples are frozen, we can bring them back,” she said.

“We can breed across time and space.”

The cost of artificially inseminating an animal is $500 to $600 a try, with invitro fertilization running $3,000 to $4,000 a pop.

But, with certain species dangerously close to extinction, such as the Grevy’s zebra, “you can’t put a price” on reproduction, she said.

Jia Panpan and Jia Yueyue act like typical twins: teasing each other, play fighting, and competing for mom’s attention.

Except these twins walk on all fours, are black and white, and will eventually munch on bamboo, their food of choice.

Born at the Toronto Zoo Oct. 13, 2015, the giant panda cubs are still very much a crowd favourite, with visitors lining up for hours to catch of glimpse of them and their mother, Er Shun.

Da Mao, one of three potential fathers, is housed in a separate enclosure.

The first giant panda cubs born in Canada, Jia Panpan (Canadian hope), and his sister, Jia Yueyue (Canadian joy), are still bottle fed, although they like to chew on bamboo, said giant panda zoo keeper Emily Noel of Mitchell’s Corners, Ontario.

Weighing in at 20.5 pounds, Jia Panpan loves to play, knocking his sister off a wood plank as they roll on the ground.

The smaller of the two, 16.5 pound Jia Yueyue is the more shy, independent twin, according to Noel.

Do D o you you mi mi half hal alff One home sold recently for $3.8M in Willowdale con sation ation? atio n? n? e con sation?

If you’re missing half the conversation, the latest digital hearing aid technology will astound you! Imagine a hearing aid that scans your environment 100 times per second, analyzing and balancing every sound individually. You’ll enjoy a natural listening experience, even in noisy environments, such as a busy restaurant. And nobody will notice it because of its miniature size, fitting comfortably and discreetly behind your ear.

Because this new hearing aid collects and digitally processes 360 degree sound, it’s been shown to reduce the strain that effortful listening puts on your brain. In fact, this technology improves speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids! Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make, even from your smart phone. Now you can focus on what you want to hear, Comfortable & Discreet and switch your attention when desired with less brain fatigue.

>>>from page 1 house, great, said Filion, but added he thinks many purchases in Willowdale are just investments.

Canada, he explained, is seen as a safe haven from political turmoil, and with the dollar and interest rates low, a place for people to park their money.

Meanwhile, there’s no Toronto neighbourhood for investing in detached houses like Willowdale, where Filion said every house for sale is torn down unless it’s fairly new and large.

The “teardowns” are going for well over $2 million, and new houses for more - one sold recently for $3.8 million.

Ten years ago, a teardown probably would go for under $500,000, and a new house for less than $1.5 million, said Filion.

“There’s no end in sight.

Most importantly, you’ll stop worrying about your hearing and get back to enjoying conversations with your friends, colleagues and loved ones. Don’t wait any longer – A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation.

BIGGER, BETTER,

Councillor John Filion

You keep getting shocked by the prices you see.”

Pe o p l e w h o w a n t t o stay in older houses face “extremely onerous taxes,” and many complain their children, unlike in the past, “could never buy a house in Willowdale,” said Filion, a

resident since 1978.

The City of Vancouver started charging foreign purchasers a 15-per-cent “property transfer tax” in August, and plans next year to also tax owners who keep houses vacant.

Karygiannis’s Mainstreet survey, taken last month, shows 52 per cent of 1,045 residents support a special tax on foreign buyers, and 43 want a tax on vacant properties.

He said he will ask Toronto council to direct city staff to report on bringing in Vancouver-style measures to cool the market in Toronto, where average prices for detached homes are nearing $1.3 million.

The poll, which had a three-per-cent margin of error, showed support for a tax on foreign buyers as slightly higher in North York, at 54 per cent.

TTC subway buskers will be a little more prominent in the stations thanks the establishment of designated performance zones.

The zones have been established on a temporary basis at Bloor-Yonge, Finch and Spadina and Main Street

stations. The six-month pilot initiative allows the TTC’s subway musicians to perform on a branded vinyl stage intended to raise their profiles.

It’s the first time according to the TTC any move has been made to spotlight its subway performers, and if it proves a success, the zones could appear at more stations.

Se v e n t y- f i v e s u bw a y musicians are chosen from auditions held during the Canadian National Exhibition every three years. They rotate through 25 stations.

STATION BUS BAY TO REOPEN wWOODBINE

The Woodbine station bus bay is about to open after several months of construction.

While renovations continue at the station, the rebuilt bus loop will officially reopen Monday, Oct. 24, allowing buses to enter Woodbine for the first time since May. Rahul Gupta is The Mirror’s transit reporter. His column runs every week. Reach him on Twitter: @TOinTRANSIT

With recent changes to taxi licensing regulations, resulting in the legalization of ride-sharing services like UberX, the multi-day training program at the city was scrapped to the chagrin of the taxi industry, which promised its own version.

Taught through the college, the 25-hour weekly course also includes an emphasis on defensive driving.

A new report suggests 716,000 short car trips across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) could be made by bicycle instead.

C o - a u t h o re d by t h e Toronto Centre for Active Transportation and Ryerson University the report analyzes current regional cycling trends. It finds of the 14 million trips taken every day in the GTHA, the vast majority are less than five kilometres, but only six per cent of such trips are made walking or cycling. The report argues that number can only improve with more infrastructure and improved options for “last mile” transportation to or from a transit station.

Nordstrom to open Friday

� ��

>>>from page 1 Japan-based UNIQLO, which opened its first Toronto store at the Eaton Centre in September, the first stand-alone Canada Goose store, and the first North American Arc’teryx mall store.

Other retailers include Reiss, Nordstrom, Nadège Patisserie, Wolford, Mackage, and Strellson. Luxury home furnishing brand Restoration Hardware Toronto the Gallery is set to open on the west side of the mall following the expansion launch. “This expansion will signal a new era in the evolution of the Canadian retail landscape,â€?

Claire Santamaria, Yorkdale’s general manager, said in a press release.

The 199,000-square-foot, three-storey Nordstrom will open to the public Friday, following a gala Wednesday night benefitting Covenant House Toronto, Humber River Hospital Foundation, Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario, The Hospital for Sick Children, St. Michael’s Foundation, and Women’s College

CorreCtion

Michaels Stores included the Star Shower in our 10/14 & 10/21 advertisements.

Unfortunately, the Star Shower will not be in stores until 11/7/16.

We apologize for any inconvenience this delay may have caused.

The new Nordstrom store at Yorkdale Shopping Centre opens to the public Friday, Oct. 21.

Hospital Foundation.

The Yorkdale store marks the first Canadian location built from the ground up, as the others were former Sears stores, said John Bailey, public relations manager for Nordstrom.

The store employs 800 people and boasts a mix of designer wear and more affordable goods, a beauty concierge, 10 personal stylists (service is complimentary), Bazille restaurant, and a bar for grabbing drinks or a bite. “For us we’ve always welcomed competition because it means we have to work harder,�

Bailey said when asked about Nordstrom being under the same roof with the likes of Canadian high-end department store Holt Renfrew. “Hopefully customers give us a chance and if we do a good job, they’ll give us a second chance.�
