Police released photos of the five males yesterday afternoon. Zaid Youssef, 17, a Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School student, and Michael Menjivar, 15, a James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School student, were killed midday Monday in a shooting in front of the School of Experiential Education, police said yesterday.

what many see as unbridled development and its impact on transportation and quality of life issues. The debate Oct. 7 in the North York Civic Centre council chambers featured incumbent Councillor John Filion, his
main rival David Mousavi and candidates Kun-Won Park and Carmen Kedzior. Two other candidates, Chris Penny and Scott Werle, did not participate in the meeting organized by the Yonge Corridor Condominium Association,
which says it represents thousands of residents living in “the condo capital of Canada.” Before opening the meeting up to the audience of about 100 to pose questions, the association asked the candidates about, for example, their

A North York family’s story
H
ow do you treat an illness when you don’t even know exactly what it is? That question has been Fran Davide’s reality for more than seven years. Speaking in the living room of her North York home where she and her family have lived since 2000, Fran admits to being tired. “You don’t know what sleeping is anymore,” she says, referring to a period that has now reached “seven years of pure pressure and stress.” Fran’s oldest daughter, Chiara, is 22. Today, Chiara cannot walk, stand, feed or dress herself. She lives at home and requires roundthe-clock care. Seizures in the middle of the night are commonplace. Fran proudly shows a picture taken at Chiara’s Grade 8 graduation – about 15 months before things changed. “She was the most loving, sensitive person,” Fran says, describing a young girl who was a gentle soul, one to whom all the animals would gravitate toward on nature walks. w OCTOBER 2007 Since the fall of 2007, it’s been a turbulent journey for the family, one that has seen its members – Fran, her husband Romano Cassuoli and Chiara’s younger sister Sara – plunged into a world of doctors’ appointments, tests, CT scans, referrals, spinal taps, MRIs and alternative therapies. There have been visits to Italy, Germany and several

American states. But a definitive diagnosis remains elusive. It’s been nearly seven years since Fran got a call from a teacher at Chiara’s high school telling her that her daughter, then 15 and in Grade 10, wasn’t doing her homework. The news was strange to Fran, especially since Chiara had voluntarily taken a math course that July to better prepare for the school year. But sitting down with her daughter that weekend, Fran knew something was wrong with her bright, athletic girl: there was a noticeable change in her writing style. Chiara’s cognitive decline would be rapid and steep. By the end of October of that year, Fran had pulled
Chiara out of school (she’s never been back). A physical decline would follow. Chiara has now been immobile and non-verbal for five years. The intervening years have been a challenge to get a diagnosis and treatment. Lyme disease was suspected (a blood test from a lab in the U.S. in June 2008 did result in a ‘strong positive’ for Lyme) but Chiara has never been diagnosed with it in Canada. The roller-coaster of emotions on the family has been wearing. It’s all hard for Fran to re-visit. “Now I question everything,” Fran simply says today. “I’m not sure about what this whole Lyme thing is. We’re all so different.” “It’s just one big grey area.”
w RESOURCES STRAPPED With no definitive diagnosis, the resources of organizations equipped to help people deal with effects of certain conditions just aren’t available. “She’s in a nowhere territory, nowhere land, no diagnosis and no support – outside the regular support that is out there (for palliative care),” Fran says. Today, the family copes with Chiara’s day-to-day care as best they can. They do have a support worker who visits for 20 hours a week spread out over weekdays. But funds are an ongoing challenge, especially for equipment. A stander, a device that provides different positioning than what’s offered by a standard wheelchair, would
enable Chiara’s body to function better by providing the necessary gravity. The family had been able to borrow one for a time but had to return it once attempts to get a permanent one funded were unsuccessful, Fran says. A more supportive wheelchair would also help. To add to it all, Fran knows she has a job search looming in order to help with her income. She was forced to sell her business earlier this year in order to concentrate more on Chiara’s care and be closer to her daughter. “I try to focus on my day and moving forward,” she says. “When something tragic happens to you, you become a spectator in life.”
to help? Here’s how: wLooking Fran Davide has launched an online appeal for help using the crowdfunding platform, FuelLocal.com Funds raised from the campaign would go toward the purchase of a stander and a wheelchair to help with her daughter’s care. FuelLocal.com is being provided to local communities by Metroland Media, the publisher of The North York Mirror. Visit http://fnd. us/c/5sCLb to donate. There, you can also read Fran’s appeal, see pictures as well as a video made by Chiara’s sister Sara, who has had work recently featured in the Toronto Urban Film Festival.

Wanted: an even stronger voter turnout in Toronto
Write us
H
ere’s the challenge for this municipal election to Toronto citizens: let’s keep increasing the voter turnout. In 2010, the voter turnout in the city was 50.5 per cent. While that figure may not seem impressive, it is actually the highest total in amalgamated Toronto’s election history. It is a remarkable double-digit increase from the 2006 municipal election total of 39.3 per cent. It’s also more than 12 per cent higher than the 2003 vote. So was the election that swept Rob Ford into the mayor’s chair just a spike or a sign of a more engaged populace? We hope it’s the latter. Stronger voter turnouts mean more people are heard from and a more accurate portrayal of the city’s desires is presented for our repreour view sentatives to act upon. So how can increased engagement happen? Make sure Know that multiple voting your voice is options are available. If your schedule is tight on Oct. 27, heard Oct. 27 advance polls run – one location in each ward – from Oct. 14 to 19. While online voting in Toronto is not yet a reality, one location in each of the city’s 44 wards is equipped with a Voter Assist Terminal that will be available for both the advance vote and on election day. The city’s website, toronto.ca, lists accessibility information for all voting locations. Secondly, check to see that you’re registered. Paper cards are being sent in the mail to 1.6 million eligible voters this week. Citizens can also check the eligible voters list or get on it by visiting www.toronto.ca/ myvote Finally, and most importantly, there are no shortage of issues – city-wide and neighbourhood-focused – for citizens to explore. If you live in the city, there is something out there that impacts you. Visit our election website at insidetoronto. com/2014torontovotes to familiarize yourself with the candidates and the issues. If you don’t find that a concern is being voiced, why not voice it yourself? Elections are the perfect opportunity to do exactly that. There’s less than three weeks to go until Election Day, and less than a week before advance voting begins. Whenever you do it, whomever you cast your ballot for, make sure your voice is heard.

A look at the next generation of arenas
F
amous arena architect: “Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the future. Underneath this velvet sheet is a model of our long-awaited, stateof-the-art hockey arena. So without further ado, I’ve asked my son Kyle to do the honours.” Not so famous son: “But Dad ...” Architect: “Not now, Junior. Just lift the cover, please. Folks, may I direct your gaze to our 750 splitlevel corporate luxury boxes, each complete with spiral staircase and elevator.” Social media: “Oooooh.” Architect: “And that’s only the beginning. You see, every suite is designed by a different worldrenowned interior decorator, and comes with room service, maid service, secret service and private helicopter landing pad.” Social media: “Ahhhhh.” Architect: “Not only that, but each corporate
jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY logo will be visible from every seat in the house.” Social media: “Oooooh, ahhhhh. Oooooh, ahhhhh.” Son: “But Dad ...” Architect: “I told you, not now, Kyle. We also have 8,500 premium club suites to accommodate the small business budget. We call it the Ricardo Montalban section because the chairs are made of rich Corinthian leather. And each seat comes equipped with its own website and wi-fi set up. And of course, the corporate logos are visible from every seat in the house.” Son: “But Dad ...” Architect: “Please, Junior. There are also six five-star restaurants.” Social media: “Wowwwww.”
Architect: “And five sixstar restaurants.” Social media: “Yowwwww.” Architect: “Plus counters of the world’s top fast-food franchises outside every exit. And yes, to answer your obvious question, all their logos will be visible from every seat in the house.” Social media: “Wowwwww. Yowwwww. Wowwwww. Yowwwww.” Architect: “It also has a hotel, motel, health club, cineplex, nightclub, dayclub, golf course, shopping mall and theme park. And, of course, all of those logos will be visible from every seat in the house, too.” Social media: “Oooooh. Ahhhhh. Wowwwww. Yowwwww.” Architect: “And finally, the pièce de resistance: the world’s first revolving Jumbo-Colosso-GigantoHumongo-Tron. A breathtaking 25,000-square-foot,
50-million-kilowatt beauty that will show advertising throughout the game. And, needless to say, we’re talking ads that will be visible from every seat in the house.” Son: “But Daaaaaaaad ...” Architect: “Oh, alright. Excuse me ladies and gentleman. My son Kyle is a little restless having had to stay still through all this. Yes, what is it, Junior?” Son: “Hey, don’t get me wrong Pop, it’s a fantastic building, really it is. It’s just that you overlooked one teensy weensy little detail.” Architect: “Really? And what’s that, mister knowit-all?” Son: “You forgot to leave room for the ice.” Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much.

‘Unbridled’ development in Willowdale discussed at forum >>>from page 1 North York’s downtown core with condo towers. One woman appeared to get to the root of residents’ concerns about years of condo development along Yonge. “Mr. Filion, are we done now, with the building and construction, are we finished?” she asked the veteran councillor. Filion, who pointed out he has consistently opposed condo development, said he can’t make false promises. “I wish I could say yes. If I could wave this pen and make it so, it would be so. Unfortunately, we have some really bad developments that are in the queue,” he said, pointing to a 39-storey condo development proposed at the Sheppard Centre that will likely end up at the Ontario Municipal Board. Filion said he is talking to city planning staff about the legality of freezing more condos while encouraging commercial development at key intersections. Not surprisingly, relieving traffic congestion was a key issue at the debate. Filion said the most obvious thing needed to solve gridlock in the area is to fix the Yonge and Hwy. 401 interchange, something he convinced council to secure funding for in the city budget and which will happen when an environmental assessment is completed and the province provides its share of the funding. Saying society has to
become less reliant on motor vehicles, Filion said he is supporting mayoral candidate John Tory and his SmartTrack surface rail plan. Kedzior said she supports the construction of more subways and wants express b u s e s, w h i c h often run almost empty, converted to regular buses that can pick up more passengers. While Mousavi said addressing the Yonge/401 interchange needs to be done, he said extending the subway along Sheppard Avenue west to Downsview station would do much more to relieve traffic congestion. Park called his plan the “BMW” method. Unlike the luxury car brand, his plan would focus on “bikes,” “metro” or transit improvements including the introduction of double-decker and mini buses, and “walking.” Finding ways to make downtown North York attractive to businesses was also a hot topic. Filion has been working to establish a Business Improvement Area (BIA) for downtown North York, something he hopes will be up and running by next year. The downtown can also be made more attractive through initiatives such as redoing the sidewalks and focusing on the arts, as he has done, as a way of drawing people to the area. Mousavi proposes to create
an “incubator,” an organization geared to speeding up the growth of start-up companies. The initiative would capitalize on the community’s prime transportation links such as Hwy. 401 and educational institutions such as York University and Seneca College, he said. Park argued that if areas such as Yonge and Dundas, Yonge and Bloor and Yonge and Eglinton can attract business, there’s no reason why the same can’t be done at Yonge and Sheppard. Meanwhile, Kedzior repeatedly accused Filion of failing to deliver on community concerns, such as stopping over-development and solving traffic congestion, during his years in office. Ward 23 needs to attract more small businesses, address a lack of parking downtown, build more recreational facilities, maintain its “cottage look” and attract a large shopping mall to the area, she added. Mousavi and Filion competed for the best line of the night. “I’m a lawyer, so I apologize for that,” Mousavi said when a member of the audience asked candidates to list their qualifications. Filion said he has been a homeowner in Willowdale since 1978, not since 1878 as his campaign literature says.
Senator O’Connor Estate a finalist for Toronto Heritage Award North York’s O’Connor Estate buildings are in the running for a Heritage Toronto Award. They are finalists in the William Greer Architectural Conservation and Craftsmanship category. The estate is made up of the O’Connor House, the coach house and a maintenance building, which are arranged around a landscaped courtyard at the main entrance to the new Senator O’Connor College School at 60 Rowena Dr., southwest of Parkwoods
Village Drive and Victoria Park Avenue. The estate, known as Maryvale Farm, was constructed in 1933. O’Connor House, which suffered damage in a devastating fire on May 9, 2012, was built as the home of philanthropist Senator Frank O’Connor, a politician and founder of the Laura Secord candy stores. He died in 1939, leaving his 900-acre farm to the Christian Brothers. In 1963, J.J. Lynch High
School opened on the site, becoming the first co-educational Catholic school in the Toronto archdiocese. It was renamed Senator O’Connor two years later. Following the 2012 fire, an extensive renovation project was undertaken by the Toronto Catholic District School Board, the O’Connor House board of directors and Kearns Mancini Architects. The 40th annual Heritage Toronto Awards will be announced Oct. 21.

Pre-Thanksgiving at pioneer village does holiday proud North York’s Black Creek Pioneer Village will be celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend, even though Canada didn’t adopt the holiday officially until a decade after the time period that the village represents. “Thanksgiving is a special time at the Village. The leaves are colourful and we focus on traditional harvest and fall
traditions and activities in a unique heritage setting,” assistant general manager Wendy Rowney said in a statement. “Thanksgiving wasn’t an official holiday in Canada until 1879. During the 1860s (the time period in which the village is set), many people celebrated the harvest with a special dinner highlighting
seasonal produce such as pumpkin, squash and apples. Communities also celebrated the season by decorating their churches with fresh produce which was given to families in need after the service. We’ve captured the essences of these celebrations through experiences and activities at the Village this weekend.” Many activities and treats
will be offered to village visitors. A three-course Thanksgiving dinner will be served at the Half Way House Restaurant on Sunday, Oct. 12 and Monday, Oct. 13. There are three seatings available and reservations are required. The cost for nonmembers is $54 for adults and $27 for children 12 and
under. You can also purchase apple pies, pumpkin treats and hot apple cider from the Half Way House kitchen. The Black Creek Historic Brewery will be serving up ales based on recipes from the mid-1800s, including a sweet stout that will be available beginning Thanksgiving weekend.
You can take part in a wide variety of activities including Victorian dancing, a pioneer poultry tour, peeling and schnitzing (drying) apples in preparation of winter and watching the miller grinding grain into flour. The village is at 1000 Murray Ross Pkwy., southeast of Steeles Avenue and Jane Street. Visit www.blackcreek.ca

Letters reveal the impact of war:
Horror and heartbreak

f Sadie Arbuckle were alive, she would relish the attention her letters to a young soldier a century ago have garnered. The letters were stored inside a box in the attic of Arbuckle’s former Southwood Drive home in the Beach. When she died in 1978 at age 85, her daughter-in-law, Mary Loucks, came across the box – the “Harry Box” – which was full of letters the two wrote to each other while Arbuckle lived in Toronto and Lt. Harry Mason was stationed on the front lines during the First World War. Loucks gave the letters to her brother, who worked for Toronto Archives, and didn’t think much of them until she read a newspaper story in February about the letters after the Archives of Ontario published them. “I just about fainted,” Loucks said Friday at the opening of the Dear Sadie - Love, Lives and Remembrance from Ontario’s First World War exhibit at the Archives of Ontario at York University, held in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the First World War. “After the story was published, this really took off. Sadie would have loved it.” The letters shine light on the side of war not often talked about: the toll it can take not only on loved ones left at home, but on the soldiers serving their country. “Sadie’s story is not unique, unfortunately,” Loucks said. “I found the letters very sad because I knew the ending. We were told of Harry by Sadie and how he had been killed. She didn’t go into a lot of detail (about their relationship). We never met Harry’s side, that’s the one disappoint-

ment of the whole thing.” Arbuckle and Mason knew of each other through a mutual friend and began a courtship via letter writing in 1913 before having met. Mason was killed in action in 1917. The letters begin just before Mason joined the war effort when he was living in Alberta. He was sent to Ontario for training, where he finally met Arbuckle face to face. Upon returning to training camp, Mason sent Arbuckle a dog named Lord Roberts II, or Bobs. His letters detailed his life as a soldier in training before the 80th Battalion received word of their deployment to England in February 1916. Though Mason tried to

shield Arbuckle from the harsher side of war and the toll it was taking on him, he could only do so much to conceal. In his final letter to his sweetheart, dated April 22, 1917, it was clear Mason was not the enthusiastic fresh soldier he once was: “[I]ts very strenuous Sweetheart and I’m tired... what’s the use Sadie of all this horrible slaughter, surely it has gone far enough now for the world to learn its futility... there are shell holes and craters (mine craters) filled with blood – it turns me sick – am afraid Sweetheart that this is getting on my nerves, the horror of it all is too continuous... This is a horrid letter Sweetheart
Mason was killed in action April 28, 1917, when his plane was shot down over Arras, France. After his death, Arbuckle corresponded with Mason’s family, but only the letters from the Mason family survived. And unfortunately, records do not show Arbuckle’s response to Mason’s death. She went on to marry dental surgeon Frederick “Doc” Loucks in 1925 and had a son, Donald, who later married Mary Loucks. “I didn’t know Harry, but I always heard of him,” said Arbuckle’s grandson, Dave Loucks, who was on hand for the exhibit’s official opening. “It’s hard to imagine what went through the mind back then, and this gives some insight. The

exhibit reminds people of the sacrifice young people made. Harry’s death hit (Arbuckle) very hard. She had never forgotten the true love she never had.” The exhibit’s opening was attended by Lt.-Gov. of Ontario Elizabeth Dowdeswell, who noted it doesn’t focus so much on military exploits as it does of personal relationships and views of the war. More than 650,000 Canadians served during the First World War, including nearly 243,000 Ontarians. Stewart Boden, exhibit curator, said when he read
the letters he knew they would be the heart of the exhibit. “It’s important to remember the war was being fought by people and each person had their own unique story,” he said. The exhibit is also made up of patient letters from Toronto surgeon Lawrence “Bruce” Robertson, a doctor at The Hospital for Sick Children who brought the new technique of blood transfusion to the war’s front lines, and diaries from Private John Mould from St. Catharines, as he struggled to make sense of the tragedy of war.
Archives of Ontario exhibits accounts of First World War at York University Dear Sadie - Love, Lives and Remembrance from Ontario’s First World War will run until January 2016 at 134 Ian MacDonald Blvd. Admission is free.

Top architecture firms compete in Sukkahville challenge JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com There is no question Toronto suffers from a serious lack of affordable housing. An international design competition is looking to draw light to the situation while also raising funds to help those in need. The Kehilla Residential P r o g r a m m e ’s a n n u a l Sukkahville competition will see top architecture firms from around the world showcase their own take on the Sukkah, a temporary dwell-
ing designed during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot to commemorate the 40 years the Jewish people spent wandering the desert in the days of Moses. The 10 Sukkahs being built as part of Sukkahville will be placed in Nathan Phillips Square on Oct. 14 and 15. “Sukkahville really highlights our mandate, which is to shed light on the need for affordable housing and do something about it, particularly for the Jewish community,” said Kehilla Residential Programme executive direc-
RBC Simplified Life Insurance.
tor Nancy Singer. “The temporary structure of the Sukkah is meant to show the need for affordable housing.” While Kehilla aims to find housing solutions primarily for Toronto’s Jewish population, the organization champions affordable housing for all. Singer said the Jewish population has special concerns when it comes to housing, however. “There are misconceptions that (the Jewish) community takes care of our own, but we know that’s not always
the case,” Singer said. “There’s a premium cost to living Jewishly. Living in the Bathurst corridor is expensive, then there’s the cost of kosher food and there are other costs by being an active member of the community.” Sukkahville has traditionally taken place in North York, and the decision to bring the event down to Nathan Phillips Square is designed to raise awareness of Kehilla’s cause. The installation of 10 Sukkahs – eight of which
are finalists in the design competition – will certainly turn some heads in the busy downtown space. “People will see some really unique, amazing designs, and they’ve been designed by non-Jews,” Singer said. “As part of the competition, Habitat for Humanity will also be helping us out by raising a Sukkah, and we’ll have a People’s Choice Award that the public can vote on.” Members of the public will be able to enjoy a meal in the Sukkahs, with local food
vendors donating a portion of their proceeds throughout Sukkahville to the Kehilla Residential Programme. In addition to the design competition, Kehilla is working with local building developers, encouraging them to pitch in with affordable housing support. Thus far, Singer said, nine of 18 developers contacted have signed on to help. Sukkahville will take place Tuesday and Wednesday in Nathan Phillips Square.

closures at Bathurst and Dundas wroad Another reconstruction project is scheduled to begin at a downtown intersection, this time at Bathurst Street and Dundas Street West. Starting Tuesday, expect various road closures along Bathurst from north of Queen Street West to south of Dundas, including a full closure of Bathurst and Dundas for more than two weeks in November, as city and TTC crews complete watermain, as well as streetcar track and road repairs. Visit www.ttc.ca for more information about the construction which will take place in stages until Thursday, Nov. 20. QUEEN’S QUAY TO RESUME wSTREETCAR
After many months, Harbourfront streetcar service is set to finally resume on a new right-of-way along Queen’s Quay. Waterfront riders have had to rely on buses between Union Station and Exhibition Loop as construction of the dedicated tracks, part of Waterfront
rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT Toronto’s hundred million dollar Queen’s Quay revitalization, dragged on. The work was also delayed because of last year’s major winter storm as well as unanticipated replacement of aged watermain infrastructure below the street. Both the 509 and 510 streetcars resume regular waterfront service Sunday. ROADS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL wMAKING
City staff from various departments met this week to developing guidelines for future Complete Streets policies. About 450 people from various city departments, including Planning, Transportation Services and Toronto Public Health, were expected to take part in a workshop Tuesday at Daniels Spectrum in Regent Park to learn more about Complete Streets, the notion that roadways should be open to all forms of trans-
portation including walking and cycling, according to Nancy Smith Lea, director for the Toronto Centre for Active Transportation. CITY LAUNCHES CONTEST FOR BIKE APP Use a new smartphone app tracking bike journeys and you can win a swank set of wheels, says the city. Between now and Nov. 30, cyclists who log their trips on the Toronto Cycling app will be eligible to win a new Opus Adagio 1.0 bicycle as well as memberships for the city’s bike share program. More than 50,000 trips were logged via the app’s GPS trip recording function since its launch in May, according to the city. The data will be used to plan future cycling infrastructure. The free app can be downloaded for the iOs and Android mobile platforms. Visit the city’s cycling web portal at www.toronto/ cycling.

How flexible is SmartTrack plan?
Tony, Francesco, Domenic, Rosa and Maria Cataldi in front of Cataldi Supermarket in North York.
‘Thank you’ from Cataldi Supermarket A true piece of history closed down in the North York community at the end of September. Cataldi Supermarket at 2542 Keele St. shut its doors to loyal customers for a final time. The Cataldis have been a family of grocers since Frank and Rosa Cataldi opened their first supermarket in Italy in 1979. When they moved to Canada, the family opened their first Canadian grocery store in the Dufferin and Eglinton area. As the family continued to grow, so did the Cataldis’ supermarkets. Now the third generation of Cataldi grocers is running a store at 140 Woodbridge Ave. in Woodbridge. But one thing that has remained the same throughout their years in the business is a
commitment getting to know their customers. “When you come to a Cataldi Supermarket, you’re becoming a part of the family,” says Tony Cataldi. The Cataldis hope to return to North York in the future, to continue to bring a wide selection of fresh foods and imported Italian products to the community. In the meantime, they will continue to build the same familial feeling in their Woodbridge location. “We’re so glad to see our North York customers coming all the way toWoodbridge to keep shopping with us,” says Tony. The Cataldi family and staff would like say thank you to their NorthYork customers for their patronage for the past 18 years.
John Tory’s plan for surface subway rail has been getting a lot of attention over the past months of the mayoral campaign – much of it skeptical. There is good reason. Tory is extolling the feasibility of his transit-for-nothing plan like a Revival-tent preacher. The financial plan for it is built primarily on his faith that Toronto development might continue to boom over the next decade or so. For the western portion through Etobicoke, Tory places his faith in engineers to lay new track around, under and (who knows?) over houses and community facilities and roadways to complete the whole grand vision. So assuming that the whole thing goes ahead, and Tory’s faith is not rewarded, Toronto could be paying back a shortfall in funding to a city-spanning ‘surface subway’ that will wreak havoc on communities in the west end. There is a more likely outcome: the realities of economics, politics and engineering will make the whole-cloth

The new project would involve accelerating the electrification of the GO Stouffville line through Scarborough, extending it to the west to Liberty Village and up to the Bloor subway line. Doing so would provide rapid transit to Scarborough, and also deal with the transportation infrastructure deficit in the busting-at-the-seams new neighbourhood of Liberty Village, while avoiding many, though not all, of those costly engineering problems. Which means that the whole scheme need not rely so heavily on the worrying TIF plan. It would also, in the strictest sense of the word, represent a broken promise. But since Mayor Rob Ford claimed that the Scarborough subway compromise following from the failure of his Sheppard subway plan was a “promise made, promise kept,” the term ‘promise’ has taken a certain elasticity.

Even if the rules permit it and the development bears out Tory’s optimism, there will be significant political problems in collecting the cash. The TIF scheme will keep tax dollars away from municipal and educational services needed for the growth. And engineers are not magicians. Tunnelling through the loamy soil of Etobicoke will inflate financial costs; tearing through neighbourhoods and roadways will hike the political cost. Now, Tory will still want to do something to fulfill his mandate, and he will be bound to use political capital to see it through. He might be able to do so. One could imagine a compromise SmartTrack plan that avoids the west end entirely.

Toronto voters, your 2.3 million ballots are ready and waiting. So are most of the 15,000 people who will run the city call centres, receiving centres and the 1,679 voting places handling those ballots. The 1,850 tabulators that have counted municipal votes since 2000 will be ready too, though this is probably the last time they’ll be used. “We have every confidence in our voting equipment,” Bonita Pietrangelo, director of Toronto’s Election Services department said during a media tour of its East York headquarters last Thursday. On Oct. 27, things should move fast after polls close at 8 p.m., when operators turn keys in the machines, each of which will transmit its results by phone, print them out and, as a final check, download data from a smart card at a receiving centre. Typically, 90 per cent of results will be known and posted within half an hour – and you can see them updated on the city’s website in real time, Pietrangelo said. Paper voter cards are being sent next week to 1.6 million people on the list to vote, but citizens can check the list or get on it at www.toronto.ca/ elections/myvote The website will tell potential voters everything they need to know about voting, said Pietrangelo, adding people can be added to the list even at a voting place on election cay if they bring the right identification. Advance polls are open in each ward from Tuesday, Oct. 14 to Sunday, Oct. 19, and for those who cannot vote on any of those days, a proxy ballot is also available. One thing Toronto electors won’t be able to do is vote online, though dozens of smaller Ontario cities and towns are set to allow that on Oct. 27.

Staff check the city’s 1,850 vote tabulators last week at the city’s Election Services headquarters in advance of the Oct. 27 municipal election.
I n F e b r u a r y, Toronto councillors asked staff to allow online voting. A vendor for the service was chosen, but Pietrangelo said her department then decided there wasn’t enough time to build a fully tested online voting system. Staff will keep investigating online voting, including through consultations with the public, and the next council can decide to hire another vendor, she said. Adam Roy Cohoon, an artist who advises the city through an accessibility outreach network on barriers some voters face, said the delay was unfortunate. Online voting will make thing a lot easier for people with disabilities, he said. But Cohoon also demonstrated a voter assist terminal, one of which will be at all advance polls and in each riding on election day. “I find it’s a great way to let me vote independently,” he said. Pietrangelo said all voting places – and that includes 532 apartment or condominium
lobbies, 544 schools and 116 religious buildings – are accessible or will be made accessible with temporary ramps or people holding doors. Even curbside voting is possible if a voter cannot enter the voting place, due to special circumstances like a recent surgery, she said. Voters without internet access can call 311 to get election information in 180 languages, and there are printed booklets available in 24 languages and braille. The election, for which 606 candidates are running for positions as mayor, councillor, or trustees for the four publicly funded area school boards, will cost about $9 million. Turnout was 50.5 per cent across the city in 2010, and Pietrangelo said it’s expected this time to be between 50 and 60 per cent.

Toronto Police are requesting the public’s assistance in identifying persons of interest related to Monday’s double shooting near Islington Avenue and Dixon Road that left two dead.
North York student dies in shooting >>>from page 1 Monday to the sound of gunfire outside the school in the Islington Avenue and Dixon Road area. Five schools – Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School, St. Maurice Catholic School, Kingsview Village Junior School and Valleyfield Junior School – were in hold and secure Monday in the hours immediately after the shooting as police scoured the area. The School of Experiential Education was placed in lockdown for a number of hours. Supt. Ron Taverner told reporters Monday afternoon at the scene the victims were targeted.

Michael Menjivar, 15, left, and Zaid Athir Youssef, 17, are the victims of Monday’s gun violence.
Board director, confirmed in a statement Tuesday, a Don Bosco and a James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School student were killed Monday. Counselors and social workers were at both schools Tuesday morning and will remain as long as needed, Gauthier said. The investi-
gation is ongoing, Taverner confirmed. Many officers continued to investigate and canvas the area for witnesses. “Obviously, we have a great deal of concern that there are people out there with firearms who use them,” Taverner said in response to a reporter’s question if police are concerned the public is at risk while possible suspects remain at large. “We’re working on bringing those individuals into custody.” Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or the persons of interest to contact Homicide Det.-Sgt. Peter Trimble at 416-808-7400, ext. 77394.

‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ a classic comedy worth re-visiting
T
hose delightfully dotty Brewster sisters are at it again. Stage Centre Productions is back at the newly-repaired Fairview Library Theatre with a riotous production of the comedy classic Arsenic and Old Lace. Joseph Kesselring’s tale tells of two elderly sisters who believe they are performing a public service by poisoning unhappy, lonely bachelors and burying the corpses in their basement. The situation is daffy enough, but the play needs two performers who can bring a proper “otherworldly” quality to the proceedings. Rita Lynham and Robin Phillips are just right as the off-kilter sisters. It’s almost like one performance. Even their vocal inflections seem to match. The comic spark is supplied by Luke Slade as their devoted nephew, Mortimer. Slade delivers some uproarious comic reactions when he discovers what his dear aunties have been up to and
mark andrew lawrence front row centre tries desperately to cover their tracks. He has to contend with one brother, Teddy, who is under the delusion he is Teddy Roosevelt. There is also another brother, Jonathan, who has teamed up with a nefarious Doctor Einstein who performs radical facial surgeries. Robert Glen plays Jonathan with a sinister attitude that adds to the fun. He manages to rise above a series of jokes that compare his altered appearance to veteran horror actor Boris Karloff. It as a leftover inside joke from the premiere production when Karloff played the role, though the reference may mystify some modern viewers. He is teamed with J.B. Pierre Rajotte as the immoral doctor who generates laughs with even the most commonplace lines. Scott McNabney has a field
day as Teddy, blowing his bugle and charging up the stairs in a running gag that does not diminish with repetition. Another running gag concerns Mortimer’s fiancée Elaine, played with sophisticated charm by Melissa Beveridge. She is repeatedly hustled out of the room making each exit more bewildered and hilarious. Add to all of this two bumbling police officers played in properly clueless style by Joe Sanderson and James Marshall. Then there is a third officer, a lady cop portrayed here by Janine Greenberg. She has dreams of becoming a playwright and is impressed to meet Mortimer, a professional theatre critic. It all adds to the onstage confusion that is effectively directed by Scott Griffin. As the action becomes more farcical, Griffin keeps us focused on the important elements and never lets the chaos overpower the storytelling.
details
‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ runs until Saturday at Fairview Library Theatre, 35 Fairview Mall Dr. For tickets, visit www. StageCentreProductions.com or call the box office at 416299-5557.
Though the play occasionally shows it age with curiously anachronistic references – a glossary explaining who some of these people were is helpfully included in the program – the efforts of Griffin, his assistant director Jim Gillies, the designers and the performers highlight the deft comedy that makes this play such a winner. Veteran theatre reviewer Mark Andrew Lawrence offers his insights on stage and musical productions for The North York Mirror. Contact him at nym@insidetoronto.com
