Kathryn and Craig Lloyd stand amongst the milkweed flowers in the Don Valley ravine south of Cummer Avenue Sunday as they prepare for that day’s Monarch Crusaders’ second annual Milkweed Fluffing Party. Distributing the milkweed seeds is important for the life cycle of the monarch butterfly, as the insects rely on milkweed plants to lay their eggs on in the spring. Milkweed is also a source of food for the monarch larvae (caterpillars).

Parker accepts voters’ decision Don Valley West councillor lone incumbent defeated on Monday RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com It wasn’t the result he wanted, but John Parker said he’s accepted the verdict of Ward 26 Don Valley West voters who handed him a surprising election loss this week.

“The job of any elected position is a gift from the voters, and the voters have the prerogative to take it away when they see fit to do so,” said Parker, reflecting on the result a day after losing his seat as councillor of Ward 26 to challenger Jon Burnside.

“I understand the rules of the game, and I accept the position of the voters.”

Parker was the only incumbent to lose in Toronto’s municipal election Monday, finishing second to Burnside in a rematch of the 2010 election.

Parker blamed “political spin” for sustained criticism from opponents during the election campaign that he was an aloof councillor out of touch with community concerns.

Parker said he paid close attention to local interests including saving the historic Pease Foundry Company Building in Leaside from demolition, which he said played an enormous role in revitalizing Laird Drive.

Burnside was endorsed by mayor-elect John Tory, who canvassed alongside the former police officer around Thorncliffe Park just a day before the election.

Burnside promised to look after the interests of all Ward 26 residents and listed local traffic congestion and development as key concerns.

“

I understand the rules of the game, and I accept the position of the voters.

– John Parker

Burnside also promised to engage with Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park residents at the south end of the ward, who complained

about a lack of representation of their interests while Parker was in power.

“There are a lot of wonderful people with amazing qualifications, but we need to get the resources which are available to them,” he said.

Burnside also promised to support Tory and his SmartTrack transit plan, of which he said he was a “big believer.”

“I was talking about that general concept four years ago because I knew there are a lot of existing under-utilized rail lines. It just seems like the sensible thing to do,” he said.

Parker also wished Tory – whom he endorsed for mayor – well.

CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com Incumbent Frank DiGiorgio was re-elected Monday in Ward 12 York South-Weston in what was one of the closest races in the city.

Facing three other candidates with growing profiles in the community, Di Giorgio was able to capture the majority of the ballots cast with 4,784 votes, edging former York South-Weston MP John Nunziata, a late addition to the Ward 12 race, who captured 4,546 votes.

“I’ve run in a lot of elections, but this one is probably the most hard-fought election and the most gratifying for me,” said Di Giorgio, at the Meridian Banquet Hall at 2301 Keele St., where he held his victory party.

“Everybody came out to help. I honestly believe we gained momentum.”

Nick Dominelli finished third, losing his third municipal election race against the incumbent. He garnered 3,742 votes.

First-time candidate and For Youth Initiative executive director Lekan Olawoye’s grassroots campaign also fell short with 3,441 votes.

the election campaign and accusations the incumbent was not around in the community, Di Giorgio argued otherwise.

“It just means people have some faith in me to do the things I still want to do,” he said.

“Over the next four years, people will find that I’m accessible.”

Nunziata, who came in

second with fewer than 300 votes separating him and Di Giorgio, congratulated Di Giorgio on his re-election and for running a clean race.

“It is what it is,” said Nunziata, who plans to continue working at his law practice. “I’ve been here before.”

Despite the close finish, Nunziata doesn’t seem to

have aspirations for running again in four years, noting he’ll be 64 at that time.

“You can never say never, but it’s very unlikely,” he said. “But I’m humbled by the level of support.”

Di Giorgio has been a councillor for York SouthWeston since 2000.

M

ayor-elect John Tory must quickly prove he’s a wise choice.

More than 60 percent of eligible Torontonians went to the polls on Monday, and elected Tory by a six-per-cent margin over rival Doug Ford.

This signals at least a temporary end to the Ford reign in Toronto, but it wasn’t enough of a victory to suggest Torontonians have denounced any Fordian influence.

In fact, 36 of 37 incumbent council members were re-elected, suggesting Torontonians are happy with their representation at a neighbourhood level – there’s just a different expectation of the person seated in the mayor’s chair.

Tory must achieve significantly better results working with the same councillors who set a dysfunctional tone of civic government during our view the past four years.

Tory has a small window to establish his credibility.

Tory must So let’s see him build some quick consensus on SmartTrack or a build quick similar transit plan, and convince consensus various levels of government and potential other funding agencies that the plan will stick and it is the will of Torontonians.

Tory must quickly prove he has the ear and the interest of both provincial and federal governments.

We’d like to see quick signs from the province and the federal government that Toronto’s future issues are a priority befitting the economic engine of the province and there’s no trepidation dealing with – and believing in – the new administration.

Tory has been given the keys to the city. If he can unlock the door and present a bright future, Toronto will reach its potential as a place to live and grow, with smart plans for development catching the eyes of a global marketplace.

If he doesn’t, there’s an alternate view in the brothers Ford, who still hold influence in city politics and will be quick to point out any Tory misstep.

Forgive us for breaking into a baseball analogy: Two years ago, the Toronto Blue Jays brought some fresh all-star faces to their lineup, building anticipation of great things to come.

It took only a limited number of games to realize that team was not going to be a winner, despite all the promise.

Toronto can’t afford to fail.

We will see what happens next. But we need to see it quickly.

Extra (hour), extra (hour), read all about it

W

e change the clocks back an hour Sunday morning and I can’t wait.

I usually sleep through the annual routine, but I’m going to make a point of being wide awake this year.

There’s no time to do anything anymore, and to have a whole extra hour fall right in your lap is just too good an opportunity to pass up.

I’ve got a good game plan set up and to ensure I stick to it, my trusty stopwatch will be draped around my neck. For those of you who haven’t decided what to do with your bonus hour, hopefully my agenda will serve as inspiration.

First up, I plan to listen to The Minute Waltz. The strategy is to make every minute count, so I can’t think of a more fitting way to get the show on the road. Right after that, to further prove I mean business, I’m going waltz to The Minute Waltz. Then

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY I’m going to macarena to The Minute Waltz and then I’ll wrap up my musical ensemble by moonwalking to The Minute Waltz – straight to the kitchen, to rustle up a three-minute egg.

I’m not going to eat it, mind you. I’ve got more pressing things to do first.

That means taking out my hockey stick and shooting a puck into the stands, which will get me two minutes for delay of game.

You won’t hear me arguing with the referee, either.

It was intentional. Those two minutes are exactly as long as it will take for my neighbour’s border collie, Sparky, to come over after I whistle. I’m going to enlist him to chase Frisbees on the lawn for exactly seven minutes. That’s an impressive 49 minutes in human minutes for him.

Sparky’s acrobatic skills

are something to behold.

Each time you let a Frisbee fly he leaps high into the air and ever so elegantly snags the disc in his jaws with the grace of Mikhail Baryshnikov in his prime.

I’m not exaggerating.

I saw Baryshnikov catch Frisbees in his teeth during an unforgettable performance of Swan Lake at the Bolshoi and his moves had nothing on this agile pooch.

But I digress. Watching Sparky always leaves me exhausted. So I’ll break for recess right after he works his magic. I’ll need all 15 minutes to catch my breath.

Now that I think about it, going through all the above is sure to wipe me out and I’ll only have used up 31 minutes to that point. Add on the fact that said extra hour starts at 2 a.m. and this could be a lot tougher than I anticipated.

The most sensible thing for me to do at that point is to scrap my original plan and get a friend to help

me complete my task. The only one I know with the energy to last the final 29 minutes is Sparky. It’s a lot to ask, a staggering 203 minutes in human minutes, but if anybody can carry the baton, it’s him.

So, I’ll just kick back and watch while the nimble pup listens to The Minute Waltz, then waltzes to The Minute Waltz, then does the macarena to The Minute Waltz and then moonwalks to The Minute Waltz – straight to the kitchen, to rustle up another three-minute egg to take it to 38 minutes.

Then I’ll get him to do it all again one last time to get to 45 minutes.

After which I’ll end with one last recess to make it an even hour.

Then I’ll let him devour those eggs all by his lonesome.

Tory has his work cut out for him It has been a long wait, a really long wait, for everyone involved.

For John Tory, Monday night’s victory in the hardfought 2014 mayoral election must be like a glass of water after a walk in the desert: finally, a win for a politician who has gamely put his name forward for office so many times, and so many times missed out.

And for Toronto, it is a different kind of relief. The pillow, finally removed from our collective face, while improbably there is still breath left in our lungs.

The Ford years are done, at least for now. The city government can turn away from what was understatedly called the “distraction” of the Ford brothers.

And the Tory years, whatever they may become, have begun. They will contain challenges, but those challenges are not so great as that.

Tory has made much of a need to unite Toronto Council.

It is unlikely he will have much difficulty in doing so. Over the past year council had a crash project up for transit award wLRT Metrolinx’s Eglinton Crosstown LRT project is in the running for a prestigious transit infrastructure award to be handed out this week.

The Crosstown is one of five North American project plans nominated for Strategic Project of the Year to be announced during this year’s CG/LA Infrastructure Forum in Washington, D.C. A press release for the event states the award is given to the project with the highest potential to create a “quantum leap” when it comes to improving a region or county’s productivity.

The forum, which will be attended by such luminaries as U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, takes place Oct. 28 to 30. Visit www.cg-la. com TTC explainer video on priority seating The TTC has released another online explainer video, this time on the proper use of priority seating.

david nickle the city course in uniting itself and maintaining a relatively calm demeanour as it goes about the business of government.

His bigger challenge, as he alluded to in his speech Monday night, will be in uniting Toronto – or more to the point, keeping united those voters who gave him a chance to govern.

It is a definitive mandate, but not an unequivocal one as many voters who might have supported Olivia Chow’s unabashedly progressive mayoralty moved to Tory’s side for fear of a Doug Ford mayoralty.

So it is not likely the whole of Tory’s support feels, for instance, that SmartTrack and the Scarborough subway are the best way to do transit.

As those two things formed the centrepiece of Tory’s campaign it is unlikely he will abandon them, and he shouldn’t: a promise is a promise.

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT Earlier this year, the TTC began installing blue seats on its transit vehicles as a way to further highlight their intended use by mobility-challenged, seniors and pregnant riders.

But as TTC CEO Andy Byford says in the video, while TTC vehicle operators can ask an able-bodied rider to vacate a priority seat they can’t force anyone from doing so.

Riders could still be fined by transit enforcement officers.

But he would do well to embrace elements of Chow’s platform as regards to housing, and perhaps childcare.

He hinted in his speech that Chow might yet have a role in the work of the city.

Tory will also have to consider the many people who did not support him, but voted for the Ford brand in spite of everything. That is a sizeable portion of the city that rejected both him and any sense of progressive value.

Politically at least, Tory will have need to reach out in that direction.

One way he might do so is heed what seems to be a growing coalition of Scarborough councillors, and move to kill the remaining LRT lines on Sheppard and Finch.

He’ll certainly feel the pressure to do so, even though he is on record supporting the lines.

And that will be the hard thing for Tory: reigning in this new, strong council when it gets an idea in its head.

the north york mirror tackles a local issue

our exclusive look

In 40 years the centre has grown from a group of friends playing euchre to a true community hub

it was in the cards for North York Seniors Centre

LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com

T

he first time Eleanor Mayne walked into the North York Seniors Centre a decade ago, she was tagging along with a friend.

While the friend moved on to activities elsewhere, Mayne found a home away from home and has been a member ever since.

“I belong to one of the art classes Monday mornings. On Tuesdays, I signed up for total body fitness.

Wednesday we do healthy bones and Thursday is belly dancing,” she laughed. “(There’s) a real variety, the classes you can take.

There’s whatever you want to do...I’m always checking to see what’s going on and I take part in a lot.”

Mayne likes the fact there is always something going on at the centre but the atmosphere is laid-back at the same time. Staff is also eager to implement programming suggestions from members, she said.

“It’s busy and I like it because you get to meet a lot of people. You make friends. We have a lot of fun,” she said.

“Nothing is taken seriously. You don’t have to be an expert at it. As long as you’re in there and having a good time. That’s the main purpose, to stay healthy and to be busy.”

Mayne, who is thinking of signing up for some classes on Fridays every other week, also volunteers as a food server at the centre.

“I’m like a waitress. I set up for events and serve and clean up and sometimes I get carried away and dance for the crowd,” she laughed.

After four decades of welcoming and serving seniors in the community,

Eleanor Mayne works on on some art at the North York Seniors Centre. The Centre is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year with a gala event scheduled for Nov. 20.

“

It’s busy and I like it because you get to meet a lot of people.

You make friends. We have a lot of fun.

– Eleanor Mayne

members, staff, alumni and dignitaries will celebrate the centre’s 40th anniversary at the Better With Age gala at the Grand Luxe Event Boutique on Nov. 20.

Forty years ago, a group of friends who got together to play cards approached then-North York mayor Mel Lastman about getting a seniors’ centre off the ground, Not only did he assist them in getting a storefront, but he helped them in various ways as the centre grew and changed locations. He even donated a hand-made slate pool table.

“I enjoyed helping them because they were beautiful people, lovely people.

They just wanted to help people,” Lastman, 81, told The Mirror.

“They did it. The crazy thing is they did it. They made it what they wanted.

They started at the bottom and worked their way up.”

The centre’s first budget was $3,000, a fraction of today’s $3-million budget, said Linda Rataj, director of organizational development.

Almost 80 per cent of today’s budget comes from subsidies and grants, most notably from the Central Local Health Integration Network, while user fees account for about 20 per cent.

The centre started out in 1974 at Cummer Plaza before relocating to Empress Walk. It moved to its present location at 21 Hendon Ave., northwest of

Finch Avenue and Yonge Street, in 1987.

While recreational activities remain an integral part of the centre, its mandate has expanded considerably to include a wide variety of programs from a legal clinic to health and wellness programs to assisted living services, Rataj said.

“It’s no longer just a club to play cards and knit and have activities, but now there’s the active living centre (which houses recreational, arts and cultural programs and a fitness centre).

“We also do community support services, so the senior care division goes out into people’s homes and provides personal support services and transportation throughout the North York area and also we have an adult day program. It’s called A Day Away. That’s for seniors who have mild cognitive

impairments or physical frailties, who need a little more structure in their day program and it provides respite for their loved ones, so it’s a really important program,” she said.

“So, we’ve gone from cards, euchre on Friday nights and parties to really making an impact in the community and helping out in people’s homes and helping people to live in the community and stay safe and not have to go to institutions. But a major part of the organization (remains) the active living centre... over 1,000 members. They live in the community, they live independently, they’re active. They come in, they do fitness (and other activities).”

About 80 per cent of members are female, perhaps because women are more inclined to be “joiners” than men and because women often outlive their husbands and are seeking the kind of friendships they find at the centre, Rataj said.

The centre is open seven days and three evenings a week and offers more than 75 programs. Members are at least 55 years old and while most are North York residents, many come from surrounding communities.

Meanwhile, about 300 people volunteer at the centre each year, many of them semi-retired who go on to become members of the centre themselves.

“We wouldn’t be able to do it without them,” Rataj said, adding the centre has become an important fixture in North York.

“In a nutshell, I think the North York Seniors Centre plays a vital role in the community to help older adults and seniors live happy, healthy and safe... lives and stay vital parts of the community,” she said.

Dear Sam Samivand : This letter is to thank you again for the quick sale of our property.

We had asked you to get us a quick sale with no financing. You listed the property April 22, 2014, got us a signed offer April 24th, 2014 whereby the purchase did not require any financing and the deal closed May 5th,2014.Did we forget to mention that we sold it for only just under $4,000.00 of the asking price? If that is not getting us what we wanted, I do not know what is.

So thank you Sam Samivand, and your team, for all your hard work. We do appreciate it and you can be sure that we will be recommending you to anyone we know looking to buy or sell.

Sincerely, Jeff and Carmen Barton

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING:

Buying or Selling: Call me Today.

“Re�red couple feel fortunate to have this Realtor” A North York couple’s story of downsizing.

“It was back in 2009 that my husband and I realized that is was nearing the time to move from our North York house into something more manageable. Having been a realtor for over 20 years myself and now retired the search was on to find someone knowledgeable, personable and that we could trust to sell our home and help us into the future. We interviewed a few agents and the choice was clear.

Terry was warm and friendly, met all our requirements, and being born and raised in Willowdale had exactly the experience to sell the neighbourhood. Once we

decided the time was right, he immediately set things into motion in advertisingourproperty and followed up with every appointment and kept us up to date every step of the way. We sold our house as planned and moved into a condo. He always kept in touch and cared how we were doing. Most recently we decided to move into a retirement home and like previously with our house, Terry sold our condo with very little interruption to our everyday lives. We are now transitioning into our next phase of our life together. We are so happy we met Terry. Thank you so much!”

Transition to new council will take a month New mayor and council will not officially start term of office until Dec. 1 DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com

N

ow that the votes are counted and Toronto has a new mayor, and that’ll be it for the Rob Ford era at City Hall. Right?

Well, not quite. For more than a month following the municipal vote Monday, Ford will continue to be mayor of Toronto and the 44 councillors who voted to remove many of his powers in 2013 will continue to hold office and, if they choose, come to work in their offices at city hall.

In fact, the mayor or a majority of those councillors could even call a council meeting in the event of an emergency, or a whim.

“In essence, the current members of council continue to be members until Nov. 30,” said Winnie Li, Toronto’s director of council support services. “Their term doesn’t end until that date.

So incoming members, they come in Dec. 1.”

The transitional period gives a mayor and council members who are surrendering their offices time to clean up their files and determine which, if any, can be passed on to their successors.

Newly elected councillors, meanwhile, will have a busy month. To begin with, they will have to go to city council school.

Li said city clerk staff have prepared three sessions.

“There will be one about the operations: about their staff and budgets and what they have to spend,” she said.

“Then there is one about the code of conduct and conflict of interest rules, and then there’s one about the procedures – decision making, how it works and how the budgets work.”

As this transpires, the new councillors will be making decisions about hiring staff, deciding which of the available offices at City Hall they will occupy,

and also likely meeting with the mayor-elect John Tory to discuss their roles in the upcoming administration.

The mayor, meanwhile, will have a more complicated job.

Li said the city will likely establish an interim office for Tory somewhere in Toronto City Hall.

There, the mayor – usually with aid of a transition team of advisors – will decide on not only

his office staff, but also come up with a roster for the new, mayorappointed executive committee, which will also decide the chairs of the various standing committees.

There comes a time when “one day” becomes today.

Saying goodbye is hard enough. Don’t leave the burden of your final arrangements to your loved ones.

When you’re ready to talk, we’re here to listen. Pre-plan with us.

While this is going on, Tory and city staff will begin planning for the inaugural council meeting on Dec. 2.

The meeting begins with a ceremony, the council chamber usually packed with family and guests of the new council and the mayor, and an address by a special guest.

With the exception of 2010, when newly elected Rob Ford invited sports commentator Don Cherry, that special guest has been the Honourable Roy McMurtry.

On the second day of council, the new councillors will appoint a striking committee to consider the makeup of council’s standing committees, and then the four community councils will meet to select chairs.

The striking committee will meet immediately following that brief meeting, and bring back recommendations to full council that afternoon.

And then, the wait will be over, and the 2014-2018 term of Toronto Council will get down to business, with meetings of community councils, executive committee and full council all taking place in December.

The Gentlemen’s Expo celebrates all things appealing to the modern man MARK A. CADIZ mcadiz@insidetoronto.com The Gentlemen’s Expo will open its doors to gentlemen and gentlewomen of the city at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre Nov. 14 to 16.

Entering its second year, the expo has broadened its vision of manliness

to a more refined status.

Co-founder Settimio Coscarella thinks the time is right for a show that appeals to today’s modern man.

“In the last 10 years men’s tastes have definitely changed,” Coscarella said. “We wanted to create a show that provides content that guys could be proud of, putting together the best ensemble of brands and experiences

we can so the guys of Toronto could have a show to call their own.”

The expo, of which insidetoronto. com is the presenting sponsor, will be spread over 100,000 square feet at the convention centre and cater to a range of men’s interests from tasting some of the best craft beer in the city to browsing the latest in fashion.

With a solid background in home

design, custom furniture design and fabrication, Damon Snider has identified a niche market for his services.

He falls into the modern category himself, and his company Dude Living Refined is a business that specializes in interior design for men. At the expo, Snider will demonstrate how to build a mobile bar cart from scratch by “up-cyling” older material.

The Gentlemen’s Expo will pack a celebrity punch with three-time UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre, former Toronto Maple Leaf Gary Roberts and ex-Dragon’s Den personality Bruce Coxon making appearances.

Filion pensive after election win LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com Following an often nasty campaign, winning incumbent Ward 23 Willowdale Councillor John Filion said he will take some time to contemplate his priorities for the upcoming term of council.

“I need to think about that,” he told The Mirror at his victory party at St. Louis Bar and Grill on Yonge Street south of Finch Avenue.

“I always hit the refresh button every four years. You know, there are the obvious ones, traffic and transit, but I’ve learned some things during this campaign so I need to reflect on that a bit.

Basically, I will be doing the same things I’ve always done.

Photo/Peter C. McCusker

Ward 23 incumbent John Filion celebrates his re-election with supporters.

I may just be doing them in a different way.”

Filion declined to say what he learned, saying he needed some time after the gruelling campaign to process his thoughts.

He said he is happy the “negative, U.S.-style” campaign is over and said it was “heartwarming” that the voters of Ward 23 returned

him to office.

The veteran councillor captured 14,128 votes, beating his main rival, David Mousavi, who received 7,951 votes.

Mousavi offered congratulations to the veteran incumbent.

“I want to say congratulations to team Filion on a victory...I send congratulations to all of them and congratulations to the ward for taking part in some issues that are of importance,” he said at his campaign office on Sheppard Avenue west of Yonge Street.

Mousavi said he would not have done anything different in his campaign, which he said simply brought attention to comments Filion made and his voting record.

Anthony Perruzza was comfortably elected to a third term on council Monday.

Perruzza, who is vowing to clean up rental housing units and work to improve Toronto Community Housing, said John Tory’s mayoral win “begins a new era at City Hall.”

Shiner to push budgeting for subways w LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com After easily hanging on to his seat following an at-times acrimonious campaign, Ward 24 Willowdale Councillor David Shiner said he will encourage the incoming council to begin budgeting to build one kilometre of subway annually.

That means setting aside

$250 million a year and then convincing the provincial and federal governments to match the funds, he said.

Shiner said he is looking forward to working on the new council under mayorelect John Tory, but said there are some tough issues to face.

“Our No. 1 struggle is to get a transportation plan in place for the city. We don’t

have one. We need one,” he told The Mirror at his victory party at his campaign office just off Sheppard Avenue east of Bayview Avenue.

“I’ve said for years to budget for at least one kilometre of subway to be built a year so there is our money on the table. We can (then) challenge our friends in Ottawa and Queen’s Park to match.”

to the incoming four-year term.

“In my ward, we have a number of things coming up, locally. We’ve got the opening of a community centre (in the Parkway Forest community) and a lot of meetings of ‘How do we program it, what do you want,’” she told The Mirror at her victory party.

Vowing Sheppard west taxes focus support for new council wsubway wTransit,

Fresh off a successful re-election bid, York Centre councillor James Pasternak, who is a member of the Budget Committee and vice-chair of the Civic Appointments Committee, said he will continue to invest in local parks and the storm water system, and vowed to “never give up” cementing a subway line along Sheppard Avenue connecting Downsview station with the Sheppard-Yonge station.

Pasternak cruised to his second term in office Monday, defeating his closest rival by more than 8,000 votes.

While transit will be the top priority of Toronto’s incoming council, city hall must focus on keeping a lid on taxes, Ward 34 Don Valley East incumbent Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong said at his victory party on election night.

“City-wide, the No. 1 issue is transit, closely linked with congestion and gridlock. So, we’re making progress on the congestion and gridlock. We need to make some decisions on transit,” he told The Mirror.

Board of trade awards to be held in North York on Nov. 6 >>>from page 1 The hip, entrepreneurial Allen Road and Sheppard Avenue business, which has foosball and ping pong tables in the office, started up in 2010 and offers naturally sweet, vegan, non-GMO, diabetic friendly chewing gum that’s free of gluten, nuts, soy and dairy. It’s found at health food and grocery stores.

The idea of creating an aspartame-free gum started when Klein would hear stories from friends and family about aversions toward various chemicals in their chewing gum, including artificial sweetener aspartame.

“I saw there was a need for the product,” Klein said.

“The health food industry is growing rapidly. We wanted to create something safe, tasty, cost-effective, gluten- and

aspartame-free.”

In an industry where very few pats on the back are received, the Business Excellence Awards is a “great thing” for his organization, Klein said.

“We’re driven by passion, we’re driven by results, and this is a nice carrot along the way to keep motivated,” he said.

Speaking of staying motivated, Klein recently got a big boost when he appeared on the second episode of Season 9 of Dragon’s Den Wednesday, Oct. 22, asking for $1 million for 10 per cent of his company.

After four offers were put on the table, he ultimately went with Jim Treliving and Arlene Dickinson, but has since moved forward solely with Dickinson, he said,

adding the investment was the largest deal ever made on the show.

“We were looking for people who have more experience,” he said of going on the show. “We hope to create new opportunities to connect with customers.”

Ed Scheck, founding partner of Hogg, Shain and Scheck, said the nomination was big for the staff.

“They are really excited,” he said.

The Victoria Park and Sheppard avenues certified public accounting firm offers several scholarships for Ted Rogers School of Management students at Ryerson University, including one for financial assistance.

“It’s a good way to give back to the university and community,” Scheck said.

Local economic impact According to the board of trade’s website, the Local Economic Impact award recognizes a business that has had a significant impact on the Toronto region’s economy in one or more of the following ways: • the substantial and quantifiable creation of new, quality job opportunities, • the recent or current expansion of an existing facility, the construction of a new facility, or the substantial investment in capital equipment, • the continued education and training of their workforce, with a link leading to higher wages, • and active, ongoing support or involvement in a broad range of community economic development activities.

Nominees must have less than 500 employees and less than $50 million in revenue a year.

The firm primarily works with owner entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations through accounting, audits, and consulting, he said.

“What makes us unique is the practical approach to

the advice we give,” he said.

“That’s key to what we do.”

Scheck, a former chair of the Toronto Board of Trade (now Toronto Region Board of Trade), said it’s important to give back to the commu-

nity.

“At the end of the day, you have to give back if you want to make Toronto a great place,” he said. “It helps build morale. We will continue to do community work, and if we win (the award), it’s like icing on the cake.”

Finalists for the Business Excellence Awards were selected from more than 100 applications by a volunteer panel of judges.

The awards recognize the valuable contribution of the region’s small and medium businesses and honour emerging entrepreneurs who have demonstrated outstanding growth, leadership and innovation in business in eight categories.

If you’re looking for a scare this Halloween, there are plenty of places in the city to find one MARK A. CADIZ mcadiz@insidetoronto.com

Several apparitions have been spotted over the years: the ‘White Lady’ described to have long hair and a flowing robe wails on the third floor...

n the city’s 180-year history, Torontonians have encountered a myriad of unexplained phenomena. From the urban tales of Fort York to the Ghost of Glendon College, Toronto has amassed its fair share of paranormal activity.

And with Halloween on Friday, The Mirror has decided to share seven eerie sites and ghostly accounts with its readers: 1) Queen’s Park Legislative Assembly of Ontario Known for its Richardsonian Romanesque style and light reddish facade, Ontario’s Legislative building, situated in central Toronto, a known site of unexplained phenomena.

Before the building was constructed in 1886, a female asylum nicknamed the ‘University Lunatic Asylum’ due to its proximity to the University of Toronto, stood in its place.

Several apparitions have been spotted over the years: the ‘White Lady’ described to have long hair and a flowing robe wails on the third floor, the ‘Maiden’ apparently holds her apron over her face; and a woman hanging from a hook has been sighted in the tunnels running beneath the building.

2) Fort York Fort York, one of the first British settlements in Toronto, was a deadly site during the War of 1812. Many invading Americans were killed by a massive explosion ignited by the fleeing British. It is said a mass grave was built for the dead, but no traces of it have been found.

With such a long history, it’s no surprise that Fork York is one of the most haunted sites in the city, according to the sheer number of reports from visitors and staff.

Numerous accounts have been reported about seeing a red-coated guard by the barracks and front entrance. Another popular story recounted by a staff member involves the Officer’s Quarters.

One night while closing up, the staff member observed a light coming from the quarters. As he made his way toward the building, he said he could see figures gathered around a dining table. The closer he got to the building the fainter the apparitions became, and once there, any trace

suddenly fainted in the same spot.

of what he thought was a dinner gathering was gone.

3) Colborne Lodge Built in 1837, Colborne Lodge, situated in High Park, was home to John and Jemima Howard.

Jemima died of cancer in 1877.

In the early stages of her illness, Howard became extremely concerned about his wife’s behaviour and wanted to have her admitted to an asylum, but his request was denied. Eventually he confined her to her room, concerned for her safety. It is said she spent most of her days looking out the window and still does to this day.

4) Old Finch Road Scarborough Old Finch Road in Scarborough is said to be a site of several haunted tales but the most notorious of them all is about a young lady who was murdered near the site and her body left in the Rouge River in the early 1980s.

Ever since then the area is said to be haunted. The case remains unsolved.

5) Montgomery’s Inn Situated in Etobicoke, Montgomery’s Inn was built in 1830 by husband and wife Thomas and Margaret Montgomery. They ran the inn successfully for 25 years until Margaret’s

death in the mid-1850s. Since then, it has been converted to a community museum where there have been a number of unexplained occurrences reported.

One tale circulating refers to a school trip involving a young girl.

During the tour her teacher realized the girl was missing and went to find her. Apparently the girl said she couldn’t move, saying it was like someone was holding her dress.

Eventually she managed to rejoin her classmates.

Even stranger, years after the school trip, another member of the same family who visited Montgomery’s Inn is said to have

(John Howard) decided to confine (Jemima) to her room, concerned for her safety. It is said she spent most of her days looking out the window and still does to this day.

6) Ghost of Glendon College Most York University students are familiar with the legend of the Ghost of Glendon College.

Prior to its university status, Glendon was a residence for the Edward R. Wood family. The Wood family estate was entrusted to York University, and since then, many students living on the campus have reported apparitions of a lady wearing white wandering the garden.

It is also said this same mysterious woman has appeared in photographs taken in the garden.

Students speculate that maybe a woman from the Wood family has taken refuge on the grounds, most likely Wood’s wife Euphemia, who died in 1950.

7) The Old Don Jail The controversial old Don Jail, in the Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street area, was completed in 1864 and is a site infamously known for its 34 hangings. The Don Jail served as the holding point for both male and female prisoners and was the last site where executions took place in Canada after capital punishment was abolished.

Over the years there have been tales of spirits occupying the premises. One tale circulating is about ‘The Lady of the Don,’ a former inmate from the 1890s who hung herself with bed sheets. Several guards have reported seeing an angry, ghostly figure with blond hair wandering the main rotunda area.
