Clean Train Rally in Sorauren Park this weekend

HELPING HAND

The fight for electric trains isn’t over for the Clean Train Coalition (CTC), and to that end, the organization is hosting a rally for clean trains on Sunday to continue the fight against the province running diesel trains through Toronto’s west end neighbourhoods. According to CTC chair Rick Ciccarelli, the organization is continuing to try to send a clear message to Metrolinx and Premier Dalton McGuinty to say no to using diesel trains for expanding GO Transit services on the Air Rail Link. On Sunday, people will assemble at 1 p.m. at the northern entrance of the West Toronto rail path at Wallace Avenue. PARADE Staff photo/ERIN HATFIELD

FEAST OF ST. FRANCIS: David Connolly, provincial supervisor with the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, along with a half a dozen fellow friars were on hand to serve meals at St. Francis Table in Parkdale. The friars served in celebration of the Feast of St. Francis Day on Oct. 4 and the 25th Anniversary of St. Francis Table, a restaurant for the poor on Queen Street West.

Edmond Place tenants lace up for marathon ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com For the past few years, tenants at Edmond Place have stood on the sidelines of the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon cheering as part of the annual Neighbourhood Challenge. But this year, 10 tenants have joined together to form team EP

Walks and will lace up their sneakers and step up to participate in the five-kilometre walk portion of the marathon with the goal of getting healthy and raising money. “I think the cheering will give me the energy to do it,” said 54-year-old Robbie Mitchell, who has called Edmond Place home for the past year. Mitchell is one of the members

of team EP Walks. He said he joined the team largely for the exercise and social aspect of the walk. Mitchell has been training for the event by taking regular walks in the neighbourhood. “It’s good to be out in the fresh air and get the exercise,” Mitchell said, adding he has attended the waterfront marathon to cheer runners on in the past, and is looking forward

Together they will parade down the rail path to the southern entrance of the path and continue down Sorauren Avenue to Sorauren Park. This route parallels the Georgetown South Go Transit line, which will eventually accommodate the ARL trains. There are 300,000 people living beside this rail line and the CTC’s claims an earlier survey found 1000 kids in this corridor were registered on the Toronto District School Board’s asthma list. The rally will take place in the park beginning at 2 p.m. and will feature performances by local musicians as well as by David Anderson and the Clay and Paper Theatre.

The wonder of St. Anne’s 150th anniversary Week-long anniversary celebration runs Oct. 13 to 20 ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com The word Mirabilia means “things that cause us to wonder”. Whether that wondrous thing is art or religion, or the relationship between the two, the upcoming arts festival Mirabilia - A Miracle on Gladstone Avenue in celebration of the 150th anniversary of St. Anne’s Church is inviting the neighbourhood in to wonder. “You can come up with all kinds of biblical references of people wondering,” said St. Anne’s Priest-In-Charge, Gary van der Meer, “and that is one of the beautiful things about art is that it doesn’t tell you what it is, it just invites you into it. “There has been enough of that perception that religion is for telling people what to think,” van der Meer said. “We want to be about the religion that is inviting people into whatever thinking they need to do.” A place where art meets sacred space, St. Anne’s Anglican Church on Gladstone Avenue exemplifies the relationship between God and art. When the parish was founded it was a small country church, in what was an agricultural village at Dundas and Dufferin streets. The congregation outgrew the original church and in 1907 they built a grand Byzantine-styled Anglican Church. Canadian artists, including Fred Varley and Frank Carmichael, two members of the Group of Seven, executed an elaborate decorating scheme with more than a dozen large paintings inside the sanctuary. “The idea behind building such a grand church was the people who lived in this neighbourhood, their homes were simple and it was thought it was important that people have some beauty in their lives

and the local church could be that,” van der Meer said. So, when planning for the 150th anniversary began and the organizing committee started to think what St. Anne’s is known for, art was the natural tie. “It is known for its art and artists; there is the Group of Seven art and architecture, there has been a lot of musical performances here and choirs,” van der Meer said. The connection between art and God dates back to the foundational story of God as creating everything and man being created in His image, van der Meer explained. “We resemble God in the fact that we are also to be creators,” he said. “If we are created in God’s image then we are to be creating and it is to be very good, it is to be affirmed.” There isn’t an overtly religious bent to the anniversary programming; there is worship involved, but van der Meer said the agenda is largely about the neighbourhood partnerships. “We are really doing this for our neighbours,” van der Meer said. “It is our way of saying we are part of the neighbourhood and we care about the neighbourhood. Titled Mirabilia - A Miracle on Gladstone Avenue, the nine-day program will run from Saturday, Oct. 13 to Sunday, Oct. 21 and will feature visual arts, film, music, lectures on religion and the arts, and worship. All of the events are held in collaboration with other neighbourhood organizations. Workman Arts, which operates out of the St. Anne’s Parish Hall building on Dufferin Street, is premiering the feature-length documentary The Maze, a film about the life and art of renowned Canadian artist

William Kurelek. Produced by brothers Nick and Zack Young, the movie tells the story of Kurelek, who had mental health struggles and also a conversion experience to the Christian faith. “It was a perfect dovetail of talking about art, issues of

mental health and our focus of Christian faith,” van der Meer said. Kurelek’s surviving family members will be in attendance, van der Meer said, as well as the filmmakers. After the film there will be a panel discussion about the overlap

In addition to the music and movie, programming is packed with lectures on art and sacred spaces, installations and an archive display of historical items from the church. Art installations by the NetherMind Artists’ Collective will be presented in unexpected places throughout the church, including Max Streicher’s inflatable horse sculpture Quadriga. Storytelling by members of the MacGregor Park Art Club will be on the theme of ‘Spirits, Ghosts and Visitations’ and presented throughout the church. Archbishop Colin Johnson will meet the congregation, area residents and guests at a reception, including a display of St. Anne’s Archives 1862 – 2012. “The final Sunday has a worship service about what does God have to do with art,” van der Meer said.

Saluting The Villager’s newspaper carriers

Time and again the taxpayers, yes the people who pay the bills of this great city, are not asked, but told who, what, when, why and where. I am sick and tired of it. Metrolinx were supposed to take charge of the TTC expansion, but now it is back in the hands of the TTC. Does no one understand our problems? The whole system needs a major shake-up, and privatization should be front and centre.

his is International Newspaper Carrier Week. Around the world, boys and girls, men and women deliver critical community information in a timely fashion, whether it’s news or advertising flyers. We certainly appreciate the dedication of our newspaper carriers at The Villager. Why would someone become a newspaper carrier? It’s a wonderful proving ground for a young person to develop life skills. It’s an excellent opportunity for an older carrier to earn money and feel satisfaction from a job well done while serving the community. Here are six experiences that our view benefit a carrier: • Responsibility: A newspaper Carriers bring carrier accepts the challenge of satisfying their customer news to the every single time they deliver a newspaper to a doorstep. Being a newspaper carrier means one community has a commitment to customer service – and learns quickly the importance of reaching the customer’s doorstep with the newspaper each and every time. • Handling money: For many carriers, having a newspaper route means the first time having a bank account. This develops yet another key life skill in a youth. • Small business sense: The better customer service, the more smiles from customers. Miss a delivery and you deal with the complaint. A good carrier generally benefits with more tips from customers, too! • Confidence and sense of achievement: Being a carrier means tangible achievement every time a route is delivered. Every thank you from a customer teaches a carrier good work is rewarded. Knowing you deliver your route on time every time gives a carrier confidence and satisfaction of knowing a job inside out and doing it well. • Discipline: Residents wait for their newspaper. Calls for missed deliveries come in minutes after the time a customer usually gets their newspaper. The discipline developed through delivering a newspaper carries over into discipline in other life tasks. • Understanding community: Your community newspaper is your window to community life. A carrier brings that life to your door. As a carrier, you get to know the people on the route and that brings a neighbourhood community a little closer together. So being a newspaper carrier is much more than simply taking a wagon through streets to put pieces of paper on the doorstep. It’s ensuring a product that adds value to life in the community gets to the people of the community. We salute our newspaper carriers and wish them much sunshine as they deliver their newspapers and flyers this week. Toronto Community News is a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Many people, especially politicians, are chastising this and that group for Canada’s tainted beef instead waiting for the findings. Why are there no fast food restaurant closures? They are consumers of ground beef. Yes, all of the news agencies are at fault for not investigating. Did we dispose of any meat products? Certainly not.

Council embarrassed itself with bad behaviour It’s not quite fair to say that Toronto council utterly disgraced itself last week as it dealt with the devastating report by Toronto Ombudsman Fiona Crean on the city’s flawed and hamstrung public appointments process. At the same time, if this council were your parents, you would have done everything possible to avoid bringing your fiance home for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Faced with a report that sharply critiqued both the mayor’s office and some councillors who sit on the civic appointments committee, a small but significant rump of the ruling party smeared muck over the entire institution. Crean’s report said the mayor’s office had interfered in the 2011 civic appointments process to the point city staff were

unable to do a fair job. It found the mayor’s staff had attempted to force staff to boycott a newspaper not in the mayor’s favour and to remove any mention of diversity from city advertisements. The report said that in one case, a potential appointee to a board had a conflict of interest and when staff attempted to deal with it, an unnamed councillor, since identified as Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, threatened staff members in a closeddoor meeting. The response from Mammoliti and some others was classic.

Mammoliti began the debate by questioning Crean’s political neutrality. When this provoked an overly angry response from Councillor Gord Perks, which Perks later apologized for, Mammoliti huffed about the sorts of violent acts he might perform on his out-of-line colleague. Mammoliti explained it wasn’t so much Crean’s neutrality as that of the rest of city staff that was the problem, then came back and accused the ombudsman of being deliberately provocative. Councillor Frances Nunziata, the speaker of council whose role is to maintain civility, was chair of the committee at the time of the threatening behaviour the report cited. She nearly brought Councillor Janet Davis to tears after she implied an

unsubstantiated complaint she’d made about Davis’ conduct to the city’s integrity commissioner, in fact indicated Davis had tried to influence the process too. Budget chief Mike Del Grande had the good sense to throw up his hands, leave the table. It was finally left to Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday to try and bring back civility and point out the actual recommendations in the report – to create a more accountable way for staff to deal with the process of putting private citizens on public boards – were the one thing everyone could agree on. And in the end, it kind of worked. The one thing we can be thankful for, looking back, is that there’s no hard liquor available in Toronto council chambers.

Team EP Walks, made up of tenants of Edmond Place in Parkdale, are set to participate in the 5K portion of the Toronto Waterfront Marathon on Sunday. The team is trying to raise funds in support of on-going programming at Edmond Place, including outings, tenant support and capacity building.

Edmond Place team hopes to raise $5,000 >>>from page 1 January 2011. Atkinson is also on team EP Walks and said she likes the idea of fundraising to increase programming and activities at Edmond Place. Bernadette Timson is a staff person at Edmond Place and the team leader of the EP Walks team. She explained during the summer, a number of tenants began to talk about trying to develop some healthy lifestyle habits. Some wanted to lose weight, some had been told to exercise by their doctors for health reasons such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Others were bored and wanted an activity.

As a group, Timson and some tenants began to go for walks a couple of times a week and tenants began to look forward to these outings. “They would be upset if I wasn’t able to go out, and our walks got longer and longer,” Timson said. The idea of walking in the marathon came up and Timson said tenants really grabbed hold of the idea. “They came up with the EP Walks Team slogan and have been looking forward to the event for weeks,” she said. Some tenants who are not able to participate in the walk will be out cheering their housemates on,

and the group will hold a celebratory barbecue when they return to Edmond Place Sunday afternoon. Their goal is to raise $5,000, which will support ongoing programming including outings, tenant support and capacity building at Edmond Place. So far they have raised about 25 per cent of their goal. The 5K portion of the Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon begins at Ontario Place (in Parking Lot 2) on Remembrance Drive then heads east on Lake Shore Boulevard to Bay Street and north on Bay Street to the finish line.

DOWNTOWN

With the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon on tap for this Sunday, it could also turn into a marathon for motorists trying to get around the south part of the city during the race. Basically, the lakefront-hugging route takes over a large swath from just west of Victoria Park Avenue (at Queen Street) in the east to just west of Parkside Drive (at Lake Shore Boulevard) in the west. It now also includes an extensive downtown loop that takes it as far north as Bloor Street and then back down to the lakefront. That means in addition to neighbourhoods such as St. Lawrence, Swansea, the Beach and Toronto Waterfront, the route will now wind its way through Church-Wellesley, Bloor-Yorkville, U of T, Chinatown, Kensington Market and Alexandra Park. And incentive has again been added for those neighbourhoods to get behind the race, which will include a sizeable contingent of world-class runners, with up to $6,000 being awarded to the most supportive neighbourhoods. The top prize was won by the St. Lawrence neighbourhood last year.

“These are blockbuster course improvements that we believe will take the event to the next level – more neighbourhoods, more spectators, more Toronto, greater ‘marathon experience’,” said race director Alan Brookes, in a press release on the website. “This is the latest in a series of changes over the past few years that have propelled us toward our Toronto 2015 goal of having a world-class, big-city marathon for Canada – with at least 8,000 runners in the 42k; 500,000 spectators on the streets; and $5 million a year raised for charity. “First was a move to Nathan Phillips Square as our prestigious venue (in 2008). Then we were able to add the Beach neighbourhood to the course, allowing us the get off the lonely Leslie Street Spit (in 2010). Last year, we were able to add ‘live’ television and Internet broadcasts from CBC.” Both the full and half marathons start at 8:30 a.m. on University Avenue just north of Adelaide Street and finish in the heart of downtown at city hall, at Bay and Queen streets. Roads are expected to reopen at 3 p.m., according to the race website. For details, visit www.torontowaterfrontmarathon.com

Carrier Appreciation Week

Newspaper carrier recognized for dedication CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com For the last 22 years, Malti Gupta has braved wind, snow, sleet and rain to deliver newspapers for Toronto Community News ( TCN) every week to as many as 1,000 of her neighbours – and no matter the weather, she always does so with an infectious smile on her face. “If we had 500 of her, we would be 500 times better. She’s just one of those really great carriers that we wish we had more of,” said Donna Umpleby, a circulation manager with TCN, which publishes nine community newspapers across Toronto. “She’s just a great lady with a great spirit and great personality. Malti’s always positive. She’s a perfect example of what a carrier should be.” As TCN’s longest standing carrier, Gupta is being recognized for her dedication during this week’s International Newspaper Carrier Week. The annual appreciation week honours the hundreds of thousands

of men and women like Gupta who make such an important contribution to the industry. “Our carriers really are the lifeblood of what we do here at Toronto Community News,” said TCN’s Director of Circulation Mike Banville, noting that TCN’s workforce of more than 3,000 carriers aged 10 to 90 deliver more than a million papers weekly to the communities of Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Bloor West Village, Parkdale-Liberty Village, York, East York, Beach-Riverdale and City Centre. “They are so, so important to what we do.” For Gupta, who began carrying for The Scarborough Mirror on Feb. 6, 1990, the job has been one that was born of convenience and has grown into a passion over the years. “When I started, I wasn’t getting the paper. All of my neighbours were, but I wasn’t,” she explained with a laugh. When she called TCN’s offices to explain her conundrum, one of the Mirror’s then-managers inquired as to whether or not Gupta would

like to take on the problem route herself – and thus guarantee herself delivery every week. Gupta, who was running a daycare out of her Scarborough home at the time, readily agreed. And the rest, as they say, is his-

tory. Gupta, who came to Canada from India in 1970, began by delivering The Mirror 22 years ago to just the houses on her street, but as time went on and she garnered a reputation for reliability, her route steadily

grew. At her peak, she was delivering more than 1,000 newspapers two times a week. “I love walking and I found I’ve met some really, really nice people over the years. Meeting people in my community has been the best part of the job for me. Plus, it’s the best exercise – I’ve maintained my weight,” she said, laughing. Now a grandmother of seven, Gupta has trimmed her four-hour route down to 615 houses. But still, even after 22 years, Gupta loves her job and doesn’t plan to retire her route until she moves from Scarborough – and so far, she and her husband of 47 years have no plans to relocate. “I love what I do,” she said simply. “I love walking and I love meeting people, and that’s what this job is all about.” Also being recognized by TCN this week for their longstanding service are Scarborough Mirror carriers Margaret McFarlane and Selvaratnam Jesuthasan, who have both served as carriers for 19 years.

Cook, entertain, and fundraise together Fall isn't just a great time to reconnect with family and friends after the summer, it's the perfect opportunity to support a great cause like the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF), especially in October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. With Cook for the Cure, presented by KitchenAid, you can combine entertaining with fundraising. Whether it's an intimate dinner or full-fledged family affair, you can turn your fall gathering into a Cook for the Cure party by asking your guests to make a donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in place of traditional hostess gifts. Register your

party online at www.cookforthecure.ca and KitchenAid will donate $50 to help the cause. “Cook for the Cure parties help me share my love and passion for food with my friends and family while supporting a great cause,” says world-renowned chef Lynn Crawford. To help you get into the spirit and host your own Cook for the Cure party here's how you can add some fall flair with an autumn inspired menu. Pumpkins: Nothing says fall like a pumpkin pie straight from the oven, but there is more to pumpkins than just pie. Why not try pumpkin soup, which makes

a delicious appetizer and can be prepared in advance and heated up when needed. As an added bonus, pumpkins are also great for you, since they contain carotenoids that help reduce the risk of cancer. Cinnamon: Cinnamon is an ingredient in many delicious fall recipes, but why not make cinnamon the star. Cinnamon cookies can be a delicious dessert or party favour for your guests, while reminding them of their favourite fall recipes. Whip up a batch with a KitchenAid stand mixer the day before your party, and your guests are sure to come back for more.

Distribution of news and information is the backbone of Toronto Community News services and the dedication of our carriers, young and old, is truly appreciated.

Ian Proudfoot

Being a carrier is a great stepping stone for a young person’s future. The traits of responsibility, dedication, customer service and financial management are all employed by our carriers. And indeed, many great Canadians started a successful future bringing newspapers to neighbourhood doorsteps. Vice President & Regional Publisher, Central Division, Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Please take the opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to your carrier next time you see them.”

Revue Cinema hosts 100th anniversary bash The Revue Cinema hosts a 100th anniversary bash, kicking off a week-long celebration of cinema, starting Thursday, Oct. 18 with a 3D screening of Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning film Hugo. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with cake, a trivia contest, prizes and movies. “It seems fitting that we celebrate our 100 years with a movie that celebrates the early days of cinema,” Daniel Demois, co-manager of The Revue, said in a statement. The night serves as a time to thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation for a $91,500 grant that funded the installation of the Revue’s new digital projector in August, Demois said. The digital conversion was crucial for the theatre’s survival because the industry is phasing out 35mm film – similar upgrades are taking place at cinemas across North America (the Revue has kept its 35mm and 16mm projectors for special screenings in the future). “Without the Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, it would have been very difficult for us to finance the

upgrade, and without the upgrade, we’d be out of business,” John Bowker, a director of the Revue Film Society, the theatre’s operator, said in a statement. “The support of the community, both as donors and customers, has also been crucial. Running a cinema is tough, given all of the entertainment choices people have.” The Revue, at 400 Roncesvalles Ave., opened in 1912 and operated continuously until June 2006, when the former owners, who planned to sell the property, shut the theatre down. The neighbourhood rallied to save the cinema. A grassroots group, the Revue Film Society, raised more than $100,000, negotiated a lease with the building’s eventual purchasers and reopened the theatre in October 2007. The lease was renewed for another five years this spring, and The Revue continues to offer its unique mix of programming, as Toronto’s only not-for-profit communitybased cinema. Doors open Oct. 18 at 6:30 p.m. Hugo screens at 8:15 p.m.

Starting Oct. 19, the Revue will screen a week of classics – list-toppers, game-changers and films that are just plain fun – to celebrate 100 years of exhibiting film. Experts will provide informative introductions to many of the movies, including critics Geoff Pevere, Linda Barnard, Philip Marchand, Risa Shuman and Chris Alexander. According to The Revue, they’ll entertain and inform with stories about the stars, the filmmakers and the importance of the particular movie. Among the films: Singin’ in the Rain; Raiders of the Lost Ark; E.T.; Jason and the Argonauts; Vertigo; North by Northwest; The Wizard of Oz; Casablanca, 2001: A Space Odyssey; Funny Face; Saturday Night Fever; Taxi Driver; The Mad Magician (1954 in 3D); It Happened One Night; and The Big Lebowski. The Revue’s Silent Sunday’s series features screen legend John Barrymore in the 1920 silent Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Pianist William O’Meara provides live accompaniment. Visit www.revuecinema. ca
