Mammoliti comments draw swift reaction

®

Roncy Rocks

DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Parkdale is doing great.

That was the word that emerged via social media and email Monday, after York West Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti issued a news release characterizing the west-end neighbourhood as a “pedophile district”, and suggesting its local councillor was more concerned about helping child molesters than children.

Since the news release arrived on reporters’ desks June 16, the hashtag #parkdalelove on Twitter caught fire – briefly becoming the number two trending hashtag in Canada.

And after putting out the call for positive notes about Parkdale, local councillor Gord Perks’ email inbox has been overflowing.

“It’s been unbelievable,” said Perks. “Just the emails and Facebook and Twitter stuff we’ve been getting, it’s just fantastic. Inadvertently, this issue has created pride in Parkdale.

There’s been this outpouring of positivity.”

The positivity came following the news release, which some councillors characterized as “hateful”, that Mammoliti released in defence of his opposition to all-ages electronic >>>exhibition, page 8

Artist Jimmy Chiale brings colour to NXNE NATALIE CHU nchu@insidetoronto.com Jimmy Chiale can wield a spray can masterfully, but just don’t call him a graffiti artist.

“It’s a different type of work to me and I don’t do it,” Chiale said.

Nevertheless, the Paris-born

artist is one of the outdoor mural painters for NXNE, an annual festival of music, film, art and comedy, creating a piece using spray paint in a back alley of West Queen West.

“I’m doing what I do best, my abstract colourful stuff,” said Chiale, who insisted he prefers canvas as a medium.

“I like painting with acrylic.

I like to work with brushes,” he said.

With the hiss of spray paint, Chiale took to multiple brightcoloured hues, creating the skeleton of a Graffiti Alley masterpiece.

“It looks messy at first, but in the end you really have to look

for the balance,” he said.

While Chiale has a lot of friends who are graffiti artists, through commissions he ended up developing his own technique.

“I just had to do it,” he said.

“And I try to find my style in it.” >>>paris, page 7

Making Room Community Arts celebrates a Feast of Flags ERIN HATFIELD plv@insidetoronto.com Making Room Community Arts creates ceremony and celebration, large and small, in Parkdale.

Michael Burtt, the Artistic Director of Making Room Community Arts, explained it is a “radically inclusive”, multi-disciplinary arts company in long-term residence at the Parkdale ActivityRecreation Centre (PARC), a drop-in centre and supportive community in South Parkdale.

“By radically inclusive, what I am suggesting is that the form and content of what we do shifts quickly according to who is around the table,” Burtt said.

“The people who are often hard to find a place for, even in the PARC community, can contribute in very real ways.”

Their practice is about inclusion and brings to the table area artists, PARC members, staff and community members. Making Room’s first large scale celebration was the Parkdale Pageant and Boat Launch 2012 where the group constructed and launched a raft into Lake Ontario.

It was a minor exchange on the evening of the Parkdale

Pageant and Boat Launch that gave rise to Making Room’s long-term project, titled Creation Stories.

On the night of the raft celebration Bob Rose, a senior manager at PARC, gave Burtt a manila envelope with five stories about PARC, which he had written.

“I thought ‘Isn’t that nice, maybe we could use these sometime,’” Burtt said. “But they sat around all summer and into the fall.”

It took him 10 months to remember the manila envelope, open it and read the stories.

“That is when I realized they were really well written and really powerful and that they were unique in that they revealed a lot about one individual per story, a member who had been at PARC,” Burtt said.

Rose, one of PARC’s longest-serving employees, wrote the stories while on sabbatical with the help of the Metcalf Foundation.

Burtt said the stories gave incredible insight into the questions, challenges and joys that come with working at PARC, and a sense of the community as a whole.

Those stories were the impetus to Creation Stories — the publication of five books based on Rose’s stories and

five accompanying celebrations.

“If you spend any time at PARC you see that celebrations are important, whether it is solstice or small celebrations, even the Wednesday jam,” Burtt said.

“Celebrations are a big deal, but what do celebrations mean in a community of people who are often overlooked.”

From knitting to drawing, painting, singing, even the way they dress, creativity is a way of surviving on extremely low incomes, Burtt said.

As Artistic Director of Making Room, Burtt said he was interested in exploring both celebration and the nature of creativity. The form that exploration would take was, and is, the publishing of five handmade books using Bob Rose’s stories as a leaping off point.

“It is a starting point to explore what people really want to talk about,” Burtt said.

The first event, ‘Pathway of Life’, was held last December for Solstice.

The second was in March

2014, ‘25 Cakes’, told the story of how the annual Cake Walk at PARC began.

On June 21, Making Room will host the third book release and celebration called ‘Feast of Flags’ – a parade, party and book launch.

The story this celebration and book are taken from is titled John Blank’s Bags, a story about someone, Burtt said, who was very much himself.

He made beautiful handmade bags, collages and musical instruments.

“Just one glimpse of them and you had the sense that this person is themselves, proudly themselves.”

Festivities begin at PARC, 1499 Queen St. W. early to make instruments, costumes and more. The drop-in opens at 11 a.m.

The parade and book launch will leave PARC at 2:30 p.m. sharp, parade down Dowling Avenue to Budapest Park.

Inspired by “being their own biggest self”, like John Blank was, Burtt said, Making Room members have made big paper hats, and vinyl bags that will turn into lanterns.

“They are as wonderful as the people who made them,” Burtt said.

It is called Feast of Flags because it represents the col-

lectivity and individuality of those who conceived of and created Feast of Flags,” Burtt said.

As they move along the route, Burtt said he hopes more residents will join them.

There will be food, music and a pleasant afternoon that will bleed into the evening.

Burtt stressed all are welcome to join the event.

The next two celebrations will be ‘Long Lost Love’ planned for the fall.

Next March, the fifth book launch will be for the story of Edmond Yu, a PARC member who was shot and killed by police in 1997.

Even after the fifth celebration, Burtt said there is a possibility there will be even more.

“Bob (Rose) is suggesting he might write another one, which is a really neat possibility of him writing a story in the context of these other ones coming out into the world,” Burtt said.

Making Room works with PARC, partly, through a three year capacity building Trillium Grant to develop the arts.

Track Toronto creates virtual songscapes for the streets of Parkdale NATALIE CHU nchu@insidetoronto.com

I

t’s no surprise some great music is inspired

by Parkdale.

Now, a Toronto group has collected and mapped them in order to give listeners a chance to get to know the neighbourhood through music.

“It’s very exciting to be noticeable in the urban realm. Our ultimate goal would be to create this virtual songscape of the city,” organizer Jonathan Tyrrell said.

Aptly named Track Toronto, Tyrrell and his former architecture classmates Chloe Doesburg and Lauren Barhydt recently installed bright yellow street signs in Parkdale with QR codes of the cor-

responding song. Listeners scanning the code can instantly stream the song.

Key lyrics of each track on the Parkdale map are also printed on the signs.

There were eight feature tracks in total.

Included on the list was Ohbijou’s ‘To Rest in Peace on Righteous Tides’ situated at O’Hara Avenue and Queen Street.

One year old Track Toronto began a little more than a year ago and Tyrrell said most songs on the list came from a quick search on Wikipedia.

However, through crowd sourcing, he’s since doubled that list.

Tyrrell, who lived in Parkdale as a student, says he hoped the list would

“

It’s really sweet... we’ve already got a couple of requests from artists and people were pumped about the project.

– Jonathan Tyrrell

reflect various styles and eras of music.

Part of the inspiration for the project began at last year’s NXNE, where Tyrrell found himself at a panel discussion on branding Toronto as a music hub.

“It’s been an overall positive response since day one.

There’s a lot of buzz about Toronto’s music scene and it’s the right time for the project so that’s why people really identify with it,” he

said.

A musician himself, Tyrrell hopes the project will also attract local talent in the neighbourhood.

“It’s really sweet...we’ve already got a couple of requests from artists and people were pumped about the project,” said Tyrrell.

While Parkdale is the only area with physical signs of the tracks, Tyrrell hopes to install more signs across the city. The group has collected 131 tracks.

“We’d like to make it a very subtle experience where a smartphone can guide you through a songwalk in Toronto,” he said, adding an app is in the works.

Wynne must use majority to move transit plans forward

Write us

W

ith last week’s majority government win by the Kathleen Wynne Liberals, her party has been given a strong mandate by voters in Toronto and surrounding areas to make transit a top priority over the next four years.

Her victory can also be interpreted as strong support for the Metrolinx Big Move transit plan for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), which was first introduced under the Liberal government of former premier Dalton McGuinty in 2008.

The election of Rob Ford as Toronto’s mayor in 2010 and a Liberal minority in the 2011 provincial election saw transit become highly politicized. Talk on who and how it would be paid for and the debate between LRTs and subways seemed never-ending.

In the last year, though, we have started making decisions on our transit future our view and how to pay for it. The province, city and federal governall agreed on an extension Subway/LRT ments of the Bloor-Danforth subway talk should be from Kennedy station to the Scarborough Town Centre. The over city approved a property tax increase of 0.5 per cent to help pay for its portion. Yet, it comes up repeatedly as a municipal election issue with both mayoral candidates Olivia Chow and David Soknacki saying the Scarborough subway extension should be scrapped in favour of an LRT. As was mentioned at a city mayoral candidates’ debate this week, any discussion of a Scarborough subway extension should be finished. Every Liberal MPP elected in Scarborough supports that subway extension, and made it a key part of their campaigns.

Any thought that this could now be changed with a new mayor of Toronto or change in councillors cannot be accepted by Wynne and her new majority government.

The same goes for a number of other transit plans across the Greater Toronto Area. Voters are expecting transit action from the Liberals, which Wynne herself promised numerous times during the campaign.

Her party took away seats from the only PC (Doug Holyday in Etobicoke-Lakeshore) and three NDP incumbents in Toronto due in no small part to her transit plans. The Liberals also gained seats in the 905 communities around the city.

Wynne now has an opportunity to take that mandate and do the right thing when it comes to transit expansion across the GTHA.

column

Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti amuses himself at the expense of others Parkdale is not a “pedophile district”. Deputants who come before city hall committees asking programs be spared are not de-facto communists.

A secret cabal of left-wing Toronto councillors have not been wiretapping the councillor from Ward 7.

I could go on for an entire column, correcting the fanciful and offensive assertions that have fallen from the lips of Giorgio Mammoliti over the years, and if I did, it would, I suspect, be an entertaining column, in a low-comedy kind of way.

But like so much low comedy, it would simply underline the same point: Mammoliti, who is one of the longer-squatting denizens of Toronto council’s lunatic fringe, is kind of creepy.

If it weren’t for our cracksmoking mayor doing the heavy lifting, Mammoliti could even be an international embarrassment for

david nickle the city this town.

Of course, one person’s international embarrassment is another’s local-boymade-good, and Mammoliti’s constituents in northwestern North York have been happy enough with his behaviour to send him back to city hall over and over.

Mammoliti’s remarks and actions are all calculated to stoke an oldee-tymee suburban-urban grievance, using as his accelerant a deep social conservatism that frankly mirrors the mayor’s.

It’s not surprising, then, that as the municipal election campaign gears up, Mammoliti should choose to wind things up with that business about “pedophile districts.”

Parkdale is an interesting

and vibrant community these days, but a couple of decades ago it was known as a place marred by crime and drug abuse – much as many people still regard Mammoliti’s own Jane-Finch community.

So. Deride a community that’s got a rocky history, and just for good measure throw pedophilia into the mix, and suggest the local councillor is representing their issues over the safety of children.

It’s a classic Mammoliti game – one that he’s been playing since 1995, when he left a one-term stint on Bob Rae’s NDP backbench at Queen’s Park to join former mayor Mel Lastman’s North York Council, then went to Toronto council as amalgamation took hold, theatrically tearing up his NDP membership card and walking into the Liberals’ loose embrace.

Mammoliti became wellknown mostly in the breach – his lack of discipline when

it came to spending his office budgets, his limelight-seeking behaviour (remember the time he took off his shirt in a scrum to protest the clothing-optional beach at Hanlan’s Point?), his demagogic mischief-making and his changeable loyalties.

Which all, as I may have mentioned earlier, points to one truth: Mammoliti is kind of creepy, and he seems to revel in it; it is a game to him.

For the rest of us, it’s a shame.

The Mayor Rob Ford follies aside, when our neighbours speak about the dysfunction and absurdity of Toronto city politics, they are thinking in large part about Giorgio Mammoliti – amusing himself with verbal pugilism, at the expense of almost everyone else.

tion is very important. It’s a stepping stone in their future,” said Martins.

It is important the government continue to invest in teachers and resources, particularly for those students who need a little extra help.

“I always told people (while campaigning), I can’t really make any promises because I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but what I will promise is that... there will be accessibility to me,” said Martins.

Martins said she admires Premier-elect Kathleen Wynne for her integrity, her compassion and passion for representing Ontario.

Martins said she would like to thank everyone who voted for her.

“I’d like to let them know I’m here for whatever issue comes up,” she said.

Four days after being elected the new MPP for Davenport, Cristina Martins admits it still feels a bit surreal.

“It feels good. I’m very excited to get started,” said Martins Monday afternoon, June 16.

She and her 106 MPP colleagues will officially start their new term July 2 and Martins said she’s looking forward to working for the residents of Davenport, a community that welcomed Martins and her family when they first arrived in Toronto from Portugal in 1970. It’s where her family business is situated, where her kids play soccer and attend Portuguese classes.

“I grew up here. It’s like coming home,” the Liberal

MPP-elect told The Villager.

As she campaigned doorto-door, Martins said local residents told her they were upset an election was called.

The Liberal budget, she was told, was “progressive and pragmatic” and contained elements beneficial to not only Davenport residents, but also to those across Ontario.

Martins admitted she was happy an election was called because it gave her the opportunity to get started campaigning sooner than later. She said she owed it to those who voted for her previously to run again.

Education is an issue she said she is particularly passionate about.

“As the mother of two young boys – eight and nine and a half – I’m involved in their school. I know educa-

Parkdale-High Park MPPre-elect Cheri DiNovo said she’ll hit the ground running to build on her proven track record of getting results at Queen’s Park.

Her approach will be to “keep on keeping on,” the veteran politician told The Villager the morning after she was re-elected in a close race to win her third term.

The two big issues she’s been addressing for some time are eliminating the Ontario Municipal Board’s (OMB) hold on the Toronto’s planning department and electrification of the Metrolinx Georgetown South line and Union Pearson Airport Rail Link. Both issues remain concerns for Parkdale-High Park residents, she said.

DiNovo said she’s anxious to get back to Queen’s Park this fall to re-table the OMB Bill and to meet with the new transportation minister. Seven years ago, she first tabled a motion to free Toronto from the OMB. The OMB, she said, is an unelected and unac-

a feeling of relief, DiNovo said.

“A sweep like that – some get swept under,” she said.

When asked if the close race was due to a leadership battle, DiNovo told The Villager the outcome was a result of strategic voting.

“People were very, very frightened and good things never come out of fear,” she said. “But what we met at the door was nothing but love.”

DiNovo said she ran a campaign not of fear and promises, but of a proven track record.

DiNovo called her victory a win for social justice.

While a Liberal majority will now rule at Queen’s Park, DiNovo has no qualms about that.

“I have been the queen of the tri-party bill, I can work with everyone. We will get things done and that is all I really care about.”

DiNovo said she is grateful for all the support throughout the campaign.

“It means so much,” she said.

The World Cup is off to a roaring start in Brazil with a number of surprising results that have had Toronto soccer fans either cheering or shaking their heads.

The tourney opened last Thursday with host Brazil scoring the game’s first goal into their own net. After that, Brazil recovered and went on to win 3-1 over Croatia, setting off cheering in a number of Toronto neighbourhoods including Little Portugal.

Fans of Portugal itself were not cheering on Monday, though, as their team fell 4-0 to Germany.

On Friday, the tournament forged an even stronger link with Toronto soccer fans as Jonathan de Guzman, who grew up in Scarborough and played with the North Scarborough club until he moved to Holland at age 12 to further his soccer skills, was in the starting-11 for the Netherlands game against defending World Cup champs Spain.

arts & entertainment

Paris-born painter’s mural can be found in the back alley of 821 Queen St. W. >>>from page 1 While NXNE is best known for its musical acts, the visual artist said the two intersect often.

“I listen to a lot of music when I paint,” he said. “It has an effect on my work because it’s somewhat musical.”

It’s difficult to pinpoint a favourite, but Chiale said he listens to a lot of hip-hop jazz.

“Far Side and old school stuff,” he said.

He started creating art professionally in 2009, and has been working every day since then.

“I learn from it and it’s evolved,” Chiale said of his work.

His artistic story began at a young age.

“I knew I wanted to become an artist since the first time I held a pen,” he said. His move to Toronto as an adult really spurred his love for the craft.

His Parkdale neighbourhood remains one of his big-

gest muses artistically.

“Parkdale is a great area.

I like that it’s grimy; it keeps my head on my shoulders and keeps me down to earth,” he said. “There’s a good artist community there,” he said.

“It’s definitely going to grow and I feel lucky to be a part of this moment in the history of Toronto,” Chiale said. “Right now the city is amazing and I love it.”

His French roots are, to some extent, just a part of his past. “I love Paris and I miss it sometimes, but I’m

not really interested in going back,” he said.

After this NXNE gig, Chiale will be competing in the Toronto City Art Battle, where he will be among other live painters vying for a spot in the national championship.

When he isn’t creating art, Chiale can be found in the Beach biking and partying.

“I just live my life as a wild, young and free man,” he said.

Exhibition Place all-ages events unsafe: Mammoliti

/MO

100Mbps ADSL2+ & VDSL

>>>from page 1 music concerts taking place at Exhibition Place.

Mammoliti had supported a ban earlier this year – but the ban was overturned at Toronto Council, in a move led by Perks.

Mammoliti, one of Toronto Council’s more outspoken conservative members, suggested both during debate and in his news release the events at the Exhibition Place were unsafe, and that under-age attendees could find themselves tempted by drugs and alcohol, and then exploited by sex offenders.

“Given the many issues surrounding children relating to these events there should be great concern over the fact that the neighbouring Parkdale area is home to one of the highest concentrations of registered sex offenders, including pedophiles, living in the City of Toronto,” wrote Mammoliti.

“With ‘all-ages’ parties being held next to a pedophile district we are simply encouraging the continued abuse of our children. Given

the rampant alcohol and illicit drug abuse and poor security, our children can fall victim to peer pressure participating in these activities or become victimized at the hands of current and past pedophiles.”

Mammoliti went on to single out Perks.

Posing the question “The question needs to be posed to the Parkdale representative, Councillor Gord Perks, who has publicly condoned the all ages promoters – why are you advocating for children and adults to be partying together right next door to your ward, which has one of the largest concentrations of registered sex offenders in the city? Who are you really representing?”

Perks responded to the news release on his councillors’ website.

“You may have heard the awful slur one of my colleagues has made against our wonderful neighbourhood. I want to say how saddened I am that Parkdale has been attacked this way,”

wrote Perks. “As we all know Parkdale is the kind of community everyone in Toronto admires. We are economically, socially, and culturally diverse. We accept and welcome and love each other.

If the rest of Toronto were more like Parkdale, Toronto would be an even better place to live.”

Without naming Mammoliti, Perks wrote that the attack “comes from one irresponsible voice.”

Twitter, meanwhile, more than counterbalanced the statement.

Michael Erickson tweeted Monday, “No other neighbourhood is filled with so much exuberance, joy, drama, creativity, activism, passion & possibility.” @carlyyrhiannon tweeted “Parkdale is where my band practices because there are still convenient + affordable places for things like that.”

And mayoral candidate Olivia Chow told twitter: “If Cllr Mammoliti was 1% as great as the people of Parkdale, he would show a lot more respect.”

Your community health centre DID YOU KNOW...

We are affiliated with the University of Toronto, and mentor and teach 800 medical trainees every year.

For admitted patients coming through our Emergency Department, wait times have gone down by 4 hours. We also helped more of our complex patients get the care they need beyond the hospital by getting them a bed in the community, leading to a reduction in what we call “Alternate Level of Care” days.

We serve patients of all ages, in our main clinical programs including Women, Children, Family Health and Chronic Disease Management; Emergency, Mental Health & Addictions; Medicine & Seniors Care; Surgery & Cancer Care; Diagnostic & Therapeutics; and Interprofessional Practice.

There’s more to us than what you see along the Queensway.

Our new patient wing, Our Lady of Mercy, is home to our brand new Family Birthing Centre and modern patient rooms.

A year of great care PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY & INNOVATION We’re constantly striving to improve the quality of the care we provide at St. Joe’s, and part of that involves embracing innovation and new technology such as our big shift to an Electronic Patient Record.

Over the past year, “eCare” has been changing the way our teams provide patient care. New mobile devices and our state-of-the-art Electronic Patient Record system recently brought computerized physician order entry and electronic clinical documentation to every bedside for our inpatient units such as Medicine and Surgery. It’s just one way we’re improving care in a modern, innovative way.

ENGAGING WITH OUR COMMUNITY We spent the last few months speaking with hundreds of St. Joe’s staff and community members face-to-face about what services they want us to provide and the broader role we should play by the year 2020.

We also saw fantastic community support at our Foundation’s great annual lineup of events, such as Cycle 4 St. Joe’s and the Toronto West Halloween Fest, which brought together people from across Toronto’s west-end neighbourhoods to raise support for the work we do every day - and gave us all the chance to have a bit of fun, too.

CREATING THE BEST PATIENT EXPERIENCE Our goal at St. Joe’s is to make each patients’ experience as positive as possible. With that in mind, we have been working closely with our 10 Patient and Family Advisors over the last year to gain feedback on how we deliver care.

We’ve also been building exciting initiatives geared towards getting our frail, elderly patients home sooner - and helping renal patients like Flynn Ramirez (shown above) conduct their regular, life-saving haemodialysis treatments in the comfort of their own home. By thinking outside the box, we’re creating a better patient experience.

A TEACHING & LEARNING ORGANIZATION We take pride in our role as a University of Toronto affiliated teaching hospital, and the strong partnerships we have with educational institutions across the GTA and province.

Every year, 800 medical students, residents and fellows and over 150 interprofessional education students from a wide variety of health care professions choose us for the unique learning opportunities we provide as an urban community hospital. We are helping to teach the next generation coming up in the world of medicine - and all of this knowledge and new skill benefits the care patients receive.

Popular community fishing event returning to Scadding Court JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com In what has fast become an annual tradition, Scadding Court Community Centre will give anglers of all ages and experience levels a chance to land a trout right in the heart of the city.

The pool, at the west downtown community centre, is filled with rainbow trout.

Students and other residents are invited to fish.

“Starting in the morning until about 3 o’clock on weekdays, we’ll have school groups and children with disabilities in, and then after that it will be open to the public,” said Scadding Court executive director Kevin Lee. While local school groups are the primary beneficiaries, kids from Camp Oochigeas –

which caters to children living with cancer – and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital will also enjoy the fishing pool.

“Some of the kids come in on stretchers, and you can see it in their eyes when a fish bites,” Lee said. “It’s really cool to see.”

In addition to providing a fun, simulated wilderness experience, Gone Fishin’

also teaches kids about the ecology, the environment, nutrition and where their food comes from. Catching the fish is only part of the fun.

For a nominal fee, anglers can have their fish cooked right outside the community centre in a variety of shipping container eateries.

“We have a lot of vendors participating from Market 707,” Lee said. “People can

catch fish, we’ll clean them and they can take them to vendors to have them done in different styles – Mediterranean, Asian, Caribbean, whatever they feel like.”

The first batch of 750 trout was dumped into the pool on Wednesday, June 11 to give them time to get acclimated to the conditions. Another 750 were added to the pool on Tuesday.

Gone Fishin’ will be open to the public from 3:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays until June 21.

People are asked to pay $3 to catch their first fish and $3.50 per fish thereafter, with an additional $1 fee per fish cleaned.

in Yatim shootinG to stand trial wOfficer The Toronto police officer charged in the shooting death of Sammy Yatim has been ordered to stand trial.

Const. James Forcillo was charged with second-degree murder following the shooting, which occurred on a Dundas streetcar near Bathurst Street July 27, 2013.

Yatim, 18, was shot several times after brandishing a knife on the streetcar. Based on video footage taken by witnesses, six shots were fired after he was already down.

Yatim had been told to drop the knife but did not comply. His death sparked numerous rallies and protests regarding the use of force by police.

Forcillo was suspended with pay following the incident – standard police procedure in cases like this – returning to work in a limited capacity with Crime Stoppers in February. He was not allowed to carry a gun upon his return to work.

He will appear in court July 30, at which time a trial date will be set. He will likely stand trial in 2015.
