North York Harvest Food Bank collects $100,000 and 100,000 pounds of food The North York Harvest Food Bank’s Spring Food Drive, which ran Feb. 29 to April 8, aimed to collect $100,000 and 100,000 pounds of food.

In total, 100,000 pounds of food was donated, along with $103,480.

“Our goal this spring was to raise enough food and funds to help provide food for our neighbours in need,” said Ryan Noble, executive director of NYHFB. “A big thank you to the generous individuals, businesses, community groups, schools and faith organizations in this community who have generously donated to the Spring Food Drive. This support will help us ensure that as we head toward the summer months no family in Toronto will have to go hungry.”

NYHFB is the primary food bank for northern Toronto, distributing more than 2.3 million pounds of food last year.

Police continue to look for witnesses to a high-speed crash in North York that claimed three young lives and seriously injured two others.

The collision happened at Jane Street and Sheppard Avenue at 3:28 a.m. last Sunday.

Police believe a southbound 2003 Acura 3.2 TL with five occupants was travelling at a high speed when it hit a second Acura and then struck a pole, a fence and several trees.

Four people were ejected from the car and one was partially ejected.

A 19-year-old man, a 23-yearold man and a 21-year-old woman were pronounced dead at the scene.

A 22-year-old Brampton man suffered life-threatening injuries while a 24-year-old man, also from Brampton, received serious injuries.

“We are still appealing for additional witnesses,” Const.

Clint Stibbe said Wednesday.

“Anybody who did see anything prior to, during or after the collision, we are asking that they contact police as soon as possible, keeping in mind that every little bit helps. Even if they >>>UNDISCLOSED, page 6

High school unveils restored historic estate fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com After years of sitting desolate, the restoration of O’Connor Estate was celebrated Friday.

Born in Deseronto, Ont. in 1885, Frank O’Connor moved to Toronto in 1912 and opened the Laura Secord candy store, which he founded, at Yonge and Elm streets the following year, becoming a self-made millionaire.

Within 10 years Laura Secord shops opened across Canada and branched into the United States with Fanny Farmer candy stores.

In the late 1920s, O’Connor purchased 600 acres at Victoria Park Avenue and Ellesmere

Road for his country home dubbed Maryvale after his daughter. It was here he built the Colonial Revival-style mansion O’Connor Estate.

Then prime minister Mackenzie King appointed O’Connor to the Senate in 1935, where he represented the Irish and Catholic populations.

O’Connor died in 1939 at age 54.

Upon his death, the O’Connor Estate was given to the Christian Brothers, who, along with the Daughters of Wisdom, opened Senator O’Connor College School in 1963.

The Christian Brothers lived at O’Connor Estate until 2000 and left the buildings to

Frank O’Connor’s Colonial Revival-style mansion, O’Connor Estate was restored by the TCDSB.

the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), who remain the landlord.

But the O’Connor build-

ings, which were made up of the estate, coach house and shed, were left vacant and deteriorated when the school

underwent a major rebuild in 2002, with a demolition permit requested in 2009.

But because the property had just received designation under the Ontario Heritage Act, the demolition permit was denied, and a partnership was formed between the Frank O’Connor House not-for-profit organization and the TCDSB to restore the site. Renovation work began in the fall of 2010.

A fire sparked by a welder’s torch in May 2012 set restoration work back one year, and it would take $5.6 million before the project was complete.

An occupancy permit for the estate building was issued in January 2014, and since

then the TCDSB has used the estate and coach house as teaching space. The space is also used by various community organizations.

‘Fantastic event’ “It was a fantastic event,” Tony Wagner, former chair of the Frank O’Connor House board of directors, said of the restoration celebration.

A $500,000 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant in 2012 was used to, among other things, install an elevator and security fence, accessible washrooms, replace stairways, and add a catering kitchen.

“We hope to open the doors to community and cultural groups,” he said.

TDSB trustee loses battle with autoimmune disease fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com A Toronto District School Board (TDSB) trustee who had represented North York since 2010 was laid to rest Tuesday following a battle with an autoimmune disease.

Howard Kaplan, who represented Ward 5, York Centre, died Monday at Toronto General Hospital, leaving behind a partner and two children. He was 72.

“It is with heavy hearts, that we announce the passing of Trustee Howard Kaplan,” a statement Monday read from chair Robin Pilkey and director of education John Malloy.

“We know that all Toronto District School Board trustees and staff join us in expressing our sincere condolences to Howard’s family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time... from early years programming to special edu-

cation, Howard was passionate about public education and was a strong believer in equity in education... in the coming days, we will be looking at how best to celebrate Howard’s life.”

In a Facebook post last November, Kaplan wrote about his health issues.

“I’ve been diagnosed with an auto-immune condition: IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis,” he wrote. “Look it up, it’s too complicated to explain it here.

“What it means is that I will eventually need a new liver. I am currently undergoing a battery of tests to see if I am a suitable candidate for a transplant: I have to be healthy enough – good heart, lungs, kidneys, etc; and I have to be sick enough – my liver has to be really bad.

“Accordingly, my energy level fluctuates day-by-day.

I don’t know from one day to the next how much work I can do. It will get worse as

Ward 5 York Centre trustee Howard Kaplan.

time goes on until I get a new liver... if I’m a suitable candidate.

“As far as my work as a trustee goes, I’m doing what I can, when I can. Staff are aware of my condition, and are taking on some of my constituency work.”

In his eulogy, David Abramowitz, United Jewish People’s Order (UJPO) Canada president, said he was surprised when Kaplan, who was a member of the organization, ran for TDSB trustee.

“I was particularly surprised to find him as a school board trustee candidate in my riding,” he wrote. “But his election was not just a personal victory, it was a chance for him to experience serving the pedagogical community.

“I think it was a fitting final occupation for a guy who believed in egalitarianism, social justice and an educational system which championed them.”

Kaplan’s involvement with Jewish culture, which he “held dearly”, was made apparent by his decadeslong membership with the Toronto Jewish Folk Choir, Abramowitz wrote.

“Through it he expressed his love of Jewish music in all

its forms and in the Yiddish language, mameloshn. And, whenever he met someone who spoke it a bit or a lot, he would test himself to see how far he would get in a Yiddish conversation before he’d have to switch to English.”

“

If anyone was a gentle man, Howard fit the bill perfectly.

– David Abramowitz

And if there was one constant in his life, it was a firm belief in equality for all, he wrote. “(Kaplan’s) belief that every person deserved an equal opportunity meant he fervently supported workers’ causes, whether in negotiations, arbitration or on picket lines.

“He demonstrated his belief in humanism by encouraging and participating in the boy-

cott of South African products and support for the African National Congress.

“Howard was employed in various fields throughout his life and one thread was constant – his belief in the equality of all human beings.”

Speaking to The Mirror, Abramowitz called the man he knew for 45 years a positive, respectful person.

“If anyone was a gentle man, Howard fit the bill perfectly,” he said.

“He made sure you knew how he felt and where he stood with situations, but he would never offend anyone with his comments.

“He never went with the flow of political or social opinion, but he didn’t seem to alienate people.”

Memorial donations can be made to the Howard Kaplan Memorial Fund, c/o the Benjamin Foundation, 3429 Bathurst St., Toronto, M6A 2C3, or by calling 416-780-0324.

Instrument library right step in making Toronto a music city

Write us

A

new pilot project that allows library patrons to borrow a musical instrument simply with their library card is a big step in the right direction.

The Sun Life Financial Musical Instrument Lending Library officially launched this past week at the Parkdale library, now giving the opportunity for aspiring musicians to sign out instruments ranging from violins and guitars to a full-size keyboard and a banjo.

It’s a step in the right direction in making music more accessible to the community especially for the youth as well as those who can’t afford to buy goodquality instruments.

Just as several organizations have seen the value in youth playing sports by subsidizing expensive equipment, this program shines a light on the value of youth playour view ing music to enrich their lives.

It’s also a step in the right Pilot project direction in making Toronto a opens music to music city by cultivating homegrown talent. everyone It was fitting that in attendance at the launch event were two successful Canadian musicians – Juno Awardwinning artist Chantal Kreviazuk and her husband, Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida.

Maida told Metroland Media Toronto that he didn’t have access to musical instruments until his brother bought one when he was 12 years old.

To ensure more kids have that opportunity to play music, Maida and Kreviazuk donated a guitar and keyboard of their own to add to the 100 instruments already in the collection.

The community can support this initiative, too.

Residents can donate their own gently used or new musical instruments to this pilot program, which runs until the end of 2017, and help it grow and expand to libraries across the city.

Instrument donation drive

There’s a Musical Instrument Donation Drive, which continues until May 7, and things are off to a great start.

Calls have already come in from people wanting to donate such instruments as bongo drums, French horns, flutes, erhu (Chinese fiddle) and midi controllers.

Library staff noted more diverse instruments from different cultures are welcome.

Call 416-393-7686 for details or to donate.

NDP crisis has been a long time in the making Last weekend, the New Democratic Party membership did what is unthinkable among mainstream Canadian party politics and ousted their leader Tom Mulcair. The shockwaves carried across the land: the NDP, stalwart voice of Canadian progressive thinking, is in crisis!

Of course, the NDP has been in crisis for years and particularly for those of us watching from Toronto.

Although you certainly can’t blame the late Jack Layton, it’s easy to mark the beginning of that crisis with the former federal NDP leader’s electoral success and then his death, both in 2011. The NDP was briefly the Official Opposition in Ottawa. As Stephen Harper’s Conservatives used their majority government to alienate much of the country, the NDP became a de-facto government in waiting.

But it wasn’t just that collection of newly elected MPs that walked away with expectations raised. Layton

david nickle the city himself offered inspiration from his death bed. Love, he told the country, is better than anger. Hope is better than fear and optimism, better than despair.

New Democrats at least politically, cherry-picked: Optimism and hope, that the party that had traditionally been a third-party left-of-centre conscience, might persuade voters to allow them to lead; and also fear, that if they led too much with their leftof-centre conscience then they’d never win.

It was a bad and selfdestructive lesson. The Ontario NDP forced a costly provincial election in 2014, rejecting in conscience the most left-of-centre provincial budget that a Liberal government had ever put forward. Leader Andrea Horwath made some gains for the party,

but in Toronto lost some of the party’s most historically secure seats. The same year, Olivia Chow turned a commanding lead in the polls to a third-place finish in the Toronto mayoralty race, with a campaign that did tack more to the left, but was timid and unambitious. And last year, Mulcair did much the same thing federally, when he led the party to a place somewhat to the right of the Liberals, and predictably, collapsed.

It was enough to wipe the slate clean for New Democrats in Toronto. Now there seems to be strong interest in the grassroots of the party in turning back to its progressive roots, embracing as many members have, the so-called Leap Manifesto, which urges the party to return to its environmentalist, socially- and economicallyinclusive roots.

But don’t count out the lure of power to eclipse conscience. Alberta New Democrat Premier Rachel

Notley is still providing a lone successful example of the pragmatism that has proved so toxic to the party. At the convention, she provided a reminder the only way to make that stick for more than one term is to lighten up on the pipeline opposition.

You’d like to think that in this age of surging U.S. presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders and “Sunny Ways” Justin Trudeau, the original Canadian party of hope and social justice and change would be in an unambiguous position to capitalize on the mood, and maybe use that to take their shot at forming a serious progressive government one day.

Instead, the NDP is tangled in its own ambitions.

Disentanglement will take time, and when it’s over, who’s to say what will be standing in its place?

>>>from page 1 created to promote the 2015 Pan Am Games, has turned into a promotional signpost for the city.

“I can tell you that people around the world have responded very favourably.

It also helps to highlight City Hall.

One of the most retweeted photos of Nathan Phillips Square is the sign — an iconic City Hall with explosions and fireworks going off in the background said Kelly.

Indeed, according to city staff the sign has taken flight on social media, with 122 million social media impressions since it was installed July 5, 2015.

Staff said that it influences “the cultural zeitgeist.”

And according to Mike Williams, Toronto’s General Ma n a g e r o f E c o n o m i c Development, its success took the city by surprise. “ We b u i l t a s i g n w e

thought would last a couple of months and we hit a home run,” he said.

The committee approved a plan to allocate $150,000 to keep the TORONTO sign up and running for the remainder of the year. Next year, the sign’s future will be decided through the budget process.

As well, council will consider the creation of a mobile sign that can travel to various events.

It likely wouldn’t be a full spelling of TORONTO, as staff said that storage and maintenance of all seven letters would be prohibitively expensive.

‘The 6’ Staff are considering signs such as “The 6”, “T Dot” and “T.O.” In addition, the plan would see the sign be registered as a City of Toronto Mark.

Undisclosed part of Acura fell off, struck Benz >>>from page 1 think it may be something minor, that information still needs to be made available to us in order for us to ... determine exactly what happened.”

Police also revealed that an undisclosed part of the 2003 Acura fell off and struck a Mercedes Benz as the Acura was heading south on Jane near Steeles Avenue, prior to the crash.

“Following that there was a verbal interaction between the operator of the Mercedes and the operator of the Acura. After that the Acura did leave, and it proceeds southbound,” Stibbe said.

Moments later the crash occurred.

Police are asking anyone with information to call traffic services at 416-8081900.

It doesn’t happen often that a show that had limited success in its original Broadway production can be transformed into an enjoyably amusing piece in the hands of a community theatre group. Alexander Showcase Theatre has pulled it off with their production of The Addams Family.

Based on the characters created by Charles Addams for The New Yorker, the creepy, kooky Addams family members seemed curiously lost in a big bloated Broadway production. For a subsequent touring edition, the authors rewrote the script and updated the score and turned the monster into something more likable.

It is the revised version that is onstage at Fairview Library theatre this week.

Vinnie Sestito keeps the production tight and focused, allowing many gags (visual and spoken) to stimulate laughter.

Gomez, stylishly played

by Milton Dover, has terrific chemistry with Morticia sung and danced with assurance by Sharon Zehavi. Their tango late in the show is one steamy dazzler.

The story centers on their daughter Wednesday, who has fallen in love and pleads with her parents not to embarrass her at a joint family dinner.

Lauren Mayer as Wednesday expertly portrays the angst experienced by many teens while her boyfriend Lucas, portrayed by Phil Skala, practically has little hearts popping out of his puppy-dog eyes whenever he looks at her. These performers know and understand the characters they are playing, and have a ball doing so.

The other members of the Addams household are reduced to bright funny cameos.

Anthony Palermo as the

Sharon Zehavi as Morticia and Milton Dover as Gomez appear in the musical, 'The Addams Family', at the Fairview Library Theatre until April 16.

impish younger brother Pugsley; David McEachern as the lumbering Lurch with the deep, deep voice; Cheryl Lee as the pot-smoking Grandma; and Brandon Chambers as Uncle Fester, who interrupts the family dinner to announce he has fallen in love...with the moon.

Into all of this, wander Robby Burko and Lizzie Kurtz as the straight-laced parents of Lucas. Their reactions are priceless, but they seem to learn from the Addams and after a party game called “Full Disclosure” they start to unclench just a little.

The elaborate set created

by Peter Thorman and Beth Roher is given appropriately spooky lighting by Chris Humphrey. Gwyneth Sestito leads the orchestra through Andrew Lippa’s at times discordant music. Lippa, who usually writes fetching songs

of deep character insight, was the wrong composer for this particular show, but the cast and orchestra play it with enthusiasm that overrides its deficiencies. They do everything they can to make this a fun night of theatre.

The Addams Family is on stage at Fairview Library Theatre, 35 Fairview Mall Dr., until Saturday, April 16.

The City of Toronto holds public consultations as one way to engage residents in the life of their city.Toronto thrives on your great ideas and actions. We invite you to get involved.

Black Creek Sanitary Drainage Area Servicing Improvements Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Notice of Public Information Centre # 1 Please join us at our first Public Information Centre to learn about the problems and opportunities for the Black Creek SanitaryTrunk Sewer Drainage Area Servicing Improvements Study (see study area map).

The purpose of the study is to assess capacity issues of the Black Creek SanitaryTrunk Sewer (STS) system and develop a plan to: • Ensure the trunk sewer system in the study area has capacity to service projected future growth • Better manage flows in the Black Creek STS system during wet weather events • Reduce combined sewer overflows to Black Creek • Reduce stormwater entering the Black Creek STS You will have an opportunity to view the display boards and speak one-on-one with study team members about the study’s problems and opportunities and potential solutions to be considered in the next phase of the study. Details are as follows: Date: Tuesday, April 26, 2016 Time: 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Location: Brookhaven Public Elementary School - Gym 70 Brookhaven Dr. - enter from parking lot (Lawrence Avenue West, west of Black Creek Drive) Date: Thursday, April 28, 2016 Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Location: Grandravine Community Centre, Room 105 23 Grandravine Dr. (Keele Street, north of Sheppard Avenue)

Background

Built around 1960, the Black Creek STS is a 15 km sanitary trunk sewer that services the 5,700 hectare Black Creek Sanitary Drainage Area.Three combined trunk sewers carry flows from the local combined sewer system to the Black Creek STS.The Black Creek STS is a tributary to the Humber STS and ultimately conveys sewage to the Humber WastewaterTreatment Plant.

During major storms, flows in the Black Creek STS have exceeded the design capacity of the trunk sewer in some sections. This has caused overloading and surcharging of the Black Creek STS. Also, during some storms, combined sewer overflows are released from the combined trunk sewers to Black Creek, which need to be controlled according to Ministry Of Environment and Climate Change criteria. Over the next few decades, a significant population increase is expected to occur within the Black Creek sanitary drainage area, which may increase capacity constraints on the Black Creek STS.

We would like to hear from you Public consultation is an important part of this study. Visit the project website for more information or contact us if you want to be placed on our mailing list for updates.

We are very pleased with your services in managing our property and responding to our needs in finding the tenants exactly as we wanted.

Everything was done so quickly from the advertising and processing of applications and we are extremely grateful for this, especially at this time of year! You have provided us with a high level of communication and follow up throughout the process and it made the decision very easy for us. We have also known you since a few years ago through the property management business that Faye works with. Everybody at that business is impressed with your professionalism and hard work. We know that you have earned a flawless reputation by your amazing work ethic.

We would recommend you to anyone without reservations.

Thank you again for such a great service.

We look forward to dealing with you again.

Find out rent costs near TTC stations How much does it cost to live near every TTC subway station? A new rental map attempts to answer that question.

The map posted by Sky View Suites finds, not surprisingly, units near downtown subway stations have the most expensive rents on average. For example, you could pay $1,800 for a one-bedroom condo near King station, but under $1,000 for the same kind of unit by Main Street station.

One surprise is the relative affordability near Union Station where apparently a two-bedroom unit condo can be rented for no more than $2,500.

Sky View says it calculated the average asking price based on a year’s worth of condo rental data, assuming rents and property values will continue to rise per year.

BIKES COMING TO BIKE SHARE TORONTO wMORE

Toronto’s bike share program is about to get a lot larger.

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT The Toronto Parking Authority (TPA), which oversees Bike Share Toronto, announced it will purchase 1,000 new bikes and 120 new bike docks in 2016. That’s more than double the amount of bikes available for rental currently.

Currently you can find bike share docks only in the downtown, but with the planned expansion there’s now a good opportunity to install the first stations north of Bloor Street.

HAVE YOUR SAY ABOUT CAR SHARE SPOTS Got something to say about parking or the availability of car share spots? The city wants to hear from you.

From now until the end of April, you can fill out a short online survey indicating your preference, or antipathy, for how streets

w

make use of street curbs, whether that’s adding or removing parking, restricting lane use or adding more transit and bike stops. You can also report problem curb areas for city staff to investigate.

Also, on Tuesday, April 19, Transportation Services will host a presentation of its curbside management strategy at city hall beginning at 6:30 p.m.

The Caregiver Show 2016 takes place at Ontario Science Centre Show provides resources, support for family caregivers Looking after a loved one who is suffering from dementia or other conditions can be extremely stressful for family members involved, and an upcoming show in North York aims to offer them some help and relief.

Statistics from the Alzheimer Society of Canada show that in 2011, 747,000 Canadians were living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias – that’s 14.9 per cent of Canadians 65 and older.

Between two per cent and 10 per cent of all cases of dementia start before the age of 65. The risk for dementia doubles every five years after age 65.

The Caregiver Show is slated for Friday, May 6, at the Ontario Science Centre from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The show helps raise awareness of how many family members are involved in caring for loved ones in need.

This year’s The Caregiver Show is sponsored by The Mobility Shop and CanniMed, and is brought to Toronto residents by Metroland Media Toronto and Downsizing Divas.

More than 20 exhibitors are already scheduled to take part in the show.

As the Alzheimer Society of Canada notes, caregiving is a critical

issue for people living with dementia and for Canadians in general.

One in five Canadians aged 45 and older provides some form of care to seniors living with long-term health problems.

A quarter of all family caregivers are seniors themselves; and a third of them (more than 200,000) are older than 75.

The Caregiver Show will allow attendees to learn about various health topics, demonstrations from the participating organizations and experts as well as the resources, services and products available for caregiving needs.

Participants will also have a chance to connect with other caregivers and professionals in the industry.

Also, there will be chance for caregivers to rejuvenate themselves in the Rest and Relaxation Zone where they can enjoy a little pampering and replenish their energy levels.

This area will also help teach caregivers ways to take care of themselves as they perform a very stressful job.

New to this year’s The Caregiver

Show will be a screening of the documentary Sybil and Betts: Requiem for a Friendship by filmmaker David Bajurny.

Admission to the show is free.

Parking at The Science Centre will be discounted to $5 for those attending the show.
