Veteran Dorothy Phoenix remembers time overseas Sept. 10 marked Canada entering the Second World War in 1939 Hilary caton hcaton@insidetoronto.com For the Phoenix family, the military has had a strong presence in their lives. In their family of eight, all but one were enrolled in the navy and both parents, Donald and Dorothy Phoenix, fought in the Second World War. “Times were different then,” Dorothy said.

At 93 years old, she’s been a Parkdale resident for 66 years, and finds the war a hard topic to discuss even with her family.

Her son Brian, 53, said

neither of his parents ever spoke in detail about what happened.

“Neither one of them would share very much,” said Brian, a marine engineer who served in the Canadian Coast Guard for almost 35 years.

“I heard dribs and drabs hear and there. All I know is that Mom and the other women used to steal coal to keep warm in the bunks.”

Sept. 10 marked the anniversary of Canada’s entry in the Second World War in 1939, a war that lasted six years. More than one million Canadians

Dorothy Phoenix

served; more than 45,000 died and another 55,000 were wounded.

Originally from Aylesford, Nova Scotia,

Dorothy was barely into her 20s when she enlisted. At the time, she was attending the Maritime Business College.

She initially worked in Eastern Air Command in Halifax before asking to head overseas to Yorkshire, England, to be a part of the Royal Canadian Air Force No. 6 Bomber Group in 1943.

Dorothy said it was an all-Canadian group that was responsible for dropping bombs in Germany against the Nazis.

“A lot of lives were lost.

We were all geared to do what we could,” Dorothy said.

“We were killing people, that’s what it had to be. Our fellas were getting killed,

too.”

The memories of what she endured still upset her and are difficult to discuss, she said.

“What does war do for anybody?” she asked.

“Every family has lost someone.”

Dorothy and Brian attend the Remembrance Day service at City Hall each November. Brian said his father also attended the memorial service before he died in 2008 at the age of 89.

Donald, who also fought in the Second World War, was enlisted with the Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers.

“He went into D-Day landings in the second or third day and was de-

Toronto artists celebrate growth with new mural Natalie chu plv@insidetoronto.com

S

eeing Liberty Village grow into a modern neighbourhood was what inspired Toronto mural painter Misha Hunter.

“I want to do something that was contemporary and minimal,” Hunter said of the mural he’s creating in the heart of Liberty Village.

“Just something different and more eye-catching, that was typography based.”

Hunter, along with friend and fellow artist Ryan Dineen, created a winning design for the Douro Street retaining wall at the end of Shaw and Crawford streets.

The installation of the mural is part of the city’s StreetArToronto (StART) program.

GO Transit chose the design among four shortlisted artists after a public consultation and voting process in July. The artists, who have individual work displayed across the city, just started working on the piece.

The mural includes bright colours and geometric shapes to create a more graphically designed look.

Unique to the mural are

“

We wanted to sort of incorporate marshland and wildlife that’s native to Toronto and incorporate movement and change that gives it a more elegant look.

– Misha Hunter

large, 3D letters spelling “Douro” and “Liberty,” an element the artists say is a first for the city.

“There are not a lot of murals that blend artistic and sculptural elements,” Dineen said of the wooden letters that are being put together off-site in their studio.

The mural also incorporates rendered images of birds. Despite wanting to include pigeons in their initial design, Hunter and Dineen said in an open online voting process, residents voiced their opinions against pigeons and instead the pair stuck with more popular birds, including cardinals and blue jays.

“We wanted to sort of incorporate marshland and wildlife that’s native to Toronto and incorporate movement and change

that gives it a more elegant look,” Hunter said.

While the mural is beginning to take form, both artists hope the finished piece will represent the future of

the community.

Landscaping to add greenery to the retaining wall has already been installed.

“This is not a horse and

wagon mural. We didn’t want it to be an old and traditional type of mural, but something new that represents the developing area,” Dineen said.

mining the beaches,” said Brian proudly.

“And he fought into Holland until the end of the war and he came home.”

Shortly after the war was over, Brian said his dad worked at the Palais Royale, when it used to be a club that hosted bands, as a bouncer, and that’s where he met Dorothy. The couple had six children.

Brian and Dorothy are members of the Royal Canadian Legion on Lake Shore Boulevard West.

She’s also a life member of the Army Navy and Air Force Veterans Owl’s Club Branch 306.

West Queen West second in coolness West Queen West has been dubbed the second coolest neighbourhood in the world, according to fashion magazine Vogue.

The fashion magazine, also known to some as a fashion Bible, took on the quest to find the Top 15 coolest street-style neighbourhoods, awarding the trendy West Queen West second place, with Tokyo, Japan’s Shimokitazawa taking the top honours.

Writer Nick Remen describes the “verifiable artery of indie patisseries, homegrown labels and hidden-from-view galleries” as “hallmarks of hipness, if they ever existed.”

Mentioned in the neighbourhood’s charm were staples like The Drake Hotel and the Gladstone as well as Bicyclette Boutique.

The clothing store’s owner, Paige Boersma thinks it’s “pretty neat” to have her store mentioned in the article.

“West Queen West is such a great community and to have such a specific mention is pretty amazing, especially alongside the Drake,” she said.

West Queen West beat out notoriously cool Bushwick in New York City, Hackney, England, and Melbourne, Australia.

L

et this be a municipal election campaign about ideas: not just the sharing of ideas, but also how they can get implemented.

Ideas on how our neighbourhoods can grow and evolve. Ideas on how our residents can become more engaged. Ideas on how our citizens can work together.

At 4:30 p.m., the final candidate list for Toronto’s mayor, councillors and school board trustees will be set. And we need to see what our have to offer. our view candidates But in addition to concrete proposals for their respective comMake munities, candidates must offer how they intend to work with candidates others – the citizens they’ll be earn your vote representing as well their political colleagues.

When it comes to representing constituents, it is possible to earn respect – and ultimately build consensus – from a range of viewpoints. That comes from being professional, from being diligent and by listening to all stakeholders.

When it comes to working with political colleagues, Toronto council is made up of 45 elected representatives. The Toronto District School Board has 23. The Toronto Catholic District School Board has 13. An individual running for office is ultimately just one voice at the table. Even someone with the power and resources of the mayor’s office can have their vision sidelined – and we did witness that in this most recent term of council.

Toronto is a diverse city. It has a lot of diverse (and sometimes competing) interests. Being able to connect with a diverse group of stakeholders on a myriad of issues – especially on those where a fundamental disagreement exists – is not an easy task, but it is a necessary one.

To the candidates, be prepared to offer your vision.

Be prepared to back it up with facts and observations. But be prepared to explain a more challenging question: how would you work with your constituents and elected colleagues to push that vision forward.

To Toronto’s voters: Inform yourselves on the issues that matter in your respective communities.

Respect your vote – and make the candidates earn it.

Ford, Tory make better Dungeon Masters than transit planners I never pegged Rob Ford and John Tory as the kind of kids who played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) in high school.

Tory is bit old and suave to have gotten into the über-nerdy ’80s roleplaying game, and the only set of polyhedron dice kids like the Ford brothers would have had was the one they’d swiped from the cowering members of the Scarlett Heights D&D Club.

Still, as a recovering Dungeons-and-Dragons über-nerd myself, I’ve got to say: both Ford and Tory would have made wicked Dungeon Masters.

Armed with nothing but graph paper, some pencils and their unbridled imagination, both have come up with wonderful, fanciful maps that’ll keep parties of dungeon-crawlers busy for months – or years.

Of the two transit dungeons, Ford’s is undeniably cooler.

He’s drawn a veritable minotaur’s maze of subway lines on his $9-billion

david nickle the city plan to drive Torontonians underground: tunnels under Finch and Sheppard avenues in Etobicoke and Scarborough, a dank catacomb for the Eglinton Crosstown light rail line in Scarborough, and a downtown relief passageway beneath Leslieville and Corktown.

Although Ford hasn’t marked them on the map he sent out last week, one might expect a more than a few pit traps along that one.

Tory’s plan is not technically a transit dungeon – Smart Track is all above ground – but the serpentine rail line wending through Scarborough, downtown Toronto and, if you listen to Olivia Chow, some living rooms in Etobicoke, is certainly sitting on a dragon’shorde of gold.

Tory would have been the kind of Dungeon Master that made it easy

for his players, letting them wander from level to level picking off under-fed goblins and picking up chests of gold and magic swords and rings as they went – ultimately, becoming a very popular Dungeon Master.

It’s all great fun sitting around a table rolling dice, fighting through imaginary dungeons and counting up fanciful gold.

Tentative plans The trouble is that both Tory and Ford’s transit plans are asking voters to roll dice on very real schemes; schemes that are going to cost real money and plough through real neighborhoods.

The plans are probably a step up from the labyrinths that teenage gamers sketch out after they’ve done their homework, but they are nearly as tentative.

This week, when Chow called Tory on the physical impossibility of laying track along the route he sketched through Etobicoke, Tory

admitted that yes, he would dig a tunnel for that portion of his surface subway after all.

Financing questions And neither he nor Ford have provided much comfort in their financing plans – both relying on the unproven tax increment financing model to pay the very significant cost of those projects, and Ford floating a further range of financing mechanisms that a team of experts spent considerable energy definitively refuting during the Sheppard subway debate this past term.

Really, that shouldn’t surprise anyone.

This kind of thing has always played much better over a long night in a suburban basement rec room than it does in the real world.

Any über-nerd could tell you that.

Not known how long renovations will take >>>from page 1 lobby lighting, rebuilding the theatre doors, replacing the auditorium floors, improving the washrooms, revamping the concession stand and outside ticket booth.

The goal is to “improve the customer experience,” said Ellwood.

“Everyone’s buoyed by (the grant),” he said. “(Patrons) will walk in and say, ‘Wow, this looks and feels different.’”

It is not yet known if the theatre will have to close and if so, for how long, to complete the renovations.

The aim is to start work in November

The Georgetown South (GTS) Project is almost complete. The upcoming months are exciting times as we reach an important milestone for getting people moving in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).

All this work is in preparation for increased GO Transit service including future two-way and all-day service and accommodating the new Union Pearson Express service connecting Union Station to Pearson Airport in 25 minutes.

We would like to thank you for being such great neighbours and to recognize your cooperation and patience while we worked in your communities.

Please join us at our upcoming celebrations to thank you for your patience and showcase the completed work in your neighbourhood. Enjoy food, refreshments and entertainment.

and finish in April. The society is in the midst of lining up volunteers to help with the work.

“We want to engage the community to contribute. That allows our dollars to go farther,” said Ellwood.

In recent years, the society has made “Band Aid” fixes, said Ellwood.

“We thought, let’s do it all at the same time,” he said.

It is the Revue Film Society’s mission to engage the community even more so than it already does with its new programming committee. To

find out more, visit revuecinema. ca The Revue Cinema announcement will take place at the Polish Festival Saturday at 4 p.m. on the stage, just north of Marmaduke Street.

The announcement precedes the official ceremonies that occur at 5 p.m. farther south on Roncesvalles Avenue.

If you would like to help out with the renovation work at the Revue Cinema, email the volunteer coordinator at vicky@revuecinema.ca or call 647-856-7442.

Thomson bows out of mayor’s race, registers for Ward 20 MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Sarah Thomson, whose second run to be mayor of Toronto ended Tuesday, said media in the city were against her candidacy from the beginning.

“We could not get press.

We were trying and trying,” said the magazine publisher, who registered as a candidate for councillor instead in Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina.

Last month, Thomson asked supporters through a website poll if she should switch her goal to a council seat, and 88 per cent approved, saying, “run for council, you can make a difference there,” she said in an interview after making the change.

As a councillor in the downtown constituency Adam Vaughan left after winning a recent federal byelection, Thomson said she could fight for the ideas she championed as a mayoral candidate, among them

securing additional dedicated funding for public transit and imposing road tolls on outsiders using Toronto roads.

“People didn’t want that to disappear,” she said.

As a mayoral candidate in 2010, Thomson dropped out of the race too late to have her name removed from the ballot, but asked supporters to back George Smitherman in an effort to prevent a Rob Ford victory.

She said her second experience running for mayor was different.

Editorials – after she appeared at a campaignlaunching event in March in a horse and carriage – “were all about my hair and how I look,” said Thomson, who has been sporting dreadlocks.

“There was bias from the very beginning,” she said, arguing political reporters tried to choose a candidate they believed could successfully challenge Ford.

Trying to get more coverage, Thomson who had also presented herself as “the only

Liberal” in the race – in the 2011 Ontario election, she came second in the provincial Trinity-Spadina riding – admitted she “resorted to the horse” again, arriving at a Ford family celebration in Scarborough this summer on horseback.

Thomson, who attended Ford Fest at Thomson Park with a group of volunteers dressed in red campaign T-shirts, said she wanted to show she was not afraid of Ford.

It was like walking into a lion’s den and “angering that lion,” she added, recalling she left the park after some of Ford’s volunteers – “guys in black T-shirts” – started “agitating the crowd” against her.

Thomson’s campaign remained on the margins until late August, when her campaign released a poll claiming her support to be in the “double digits.” Observers said the poll was not credible, due to its small size and leading questions.

“

Sarah Thomson

Though insisting her support was on the rise, Thomson said the poll was for internal use and not meant to be published.

The campaign had trouble finding a pollster who wasn’t already working for one of her rivals, she said.

We could not get press. We were trying and trying.

– Sarah Thomson

As for her supporters outside Ward 20, where she was one of 28 candidates registered on Tuesday, Thomson said they should think about “who would make a good mayor and how to get them in.”

She said she would support whoever has the best chance to defeat Ford, and call on any candidate running third behind Ford to transfer their support to a candidate running second behind the mayor.

Thomson, however, did not take the opportunity to endorse John Tory, the current frontrunner, whose two sons

supported the later stages of her 2010 campaign, George Tory as her manager and John Tory Jr. as a strategist “Anything can happen in six weeks,” she said.

At city hall on Tuesday, Ford shrugged off Thomson’s plan to support his most-likely opponent, saying he wished her “all the best.”

Thomson, who said she and her husband are looking for a home in Ward 20, said she wasn’t concerned about standing out among so many candidates for Vaughan’s seat.

“They say with a candidate that’s well-known – like Rob Ford – the more candidates in the race, the better,” she said.

UP Express: Airport workers want meeting over fares RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Airport workers are demanding a face-to-face meeting with Metrolinx officials to discuss their concerns over the affordability of the Union Pearson (UP) Express air rail link.

Around 10 members of a loose coalition of flight attendants, customer service representatives and baggage handlers working out of Pearson International Airport turned up last Friday at Metrolinx’s head offices inside Union Station, thinking they would get to voice their concerns directly to the provincial transit’s agency’s board of directors on charging a premium fare for UP, which opens next spring.

But the public portion of Metrolinx board meetings don’t allow for deputations.

Chair Rob Prichard suggested any concerns on UP’s future

affordability could be emailed to him directly.

That’s just not good enough, said the workers who want an immediate public consultation with the entire membership.

“Twenty-thousand workers and there hasn’t been one discussion with any of us,” said Sean Smith, a union organizer with Unifor local 2002, which represents Pearson airport employees as well as flight personnel working for airlines like Air Transat and Air Canada.

“We’ve just heard the train is not for you, well it’s our tax dollars they used to put it there.”

Several workers, who made their comments within earshot of senior Metrolinx executives, said there is general support for UP among the airport workforce, even though the service is expected to operate as a premium express rail service, making

just two stops at Weston and Bloor GO stations, between Terminal One of Pearson and Union Station.

Riding the length of the four-stop service which travels from Pearson via a new rail track linking up with the exist-

ing Georgetown South tracks will take only 25 minutes, promises Metrolinx, making it ideal for business-class commuters looking to travel in speed as well as luxury.

For Ole Harder getting to the airport in under 30 minutes would be a dream.

The Air Canada flight attendant said he spends at least 90 minutes getting from Richmond and Sherbourne streets to the airport, a journey which requires streetcar, subway and bus trips.

Harder, who said he would happily take the service regularly if the fares were reasonable, was frustrated by what he sees as a lack of public dialogue on the matter.

“There’s no public consultation, and we’re being told it’s a boutique service for businessmen, which was never intended for us,” said Harder. “They’re making back-and-forth impossible and excluding the public from

participation.”

In a statement, Metrolinx spokesperson Malon Edwards said there’s a willingness on the part of the provincial transit planning agency to discuss the matter with the airport workers – if an official meeting request is made.

“We’re committed to meeting with the Pearson Airport workers who attended last week’s board meeting, and we look forward to their formal request,” said Edwards.

Edwards also said alternative pricing for UP fares was under discussion, including having “variable price points” for families and frequent riders. Also under consideration was charging riders who board from either Weston or Bloor a distance-based fare as is used by GO Transit.

“We are working hard to ensure we develop a sustainable business plan that meets the needs of as many people as possible,” he said.

Crosstown LRT dig wTunnel nearly at Dufferin borer machines

rahul gupta

(TBMs) excavating the west underground portion of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT have nearly reached Dufferin Street.

About 2.5 kilometres of tunnelling is complete since the spring, with both “Dennis” and “Lea” digging underneath Eglinton Avenue West. They are expected to reach Allen Road by December, according to Metrolinx. The two massive drilling machines have continued to carve out the Crosstown’s underground route, departing from Black Creek Drive last spring. Once the machines reach Allen, they will be extracted and redeployed to Yonge, said Metrolinx Senior Executive Jack Collins. A second set of TBMs will tunnel from east of the Don Valley toward Yonge Street. All tunnelling is expected to be done by late 2016 after which station construction can begin. final open house on Crosstown LRT Metrolinx is holding the

Heightened rail safety through Toronto sought by MPs LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com A train derailment the magnitude of the fatal Lac-Mégantic crash that killed 47 people and destroyed half of the eastern Quebec town’s buildings was an “aberration,” a Canadian Pacific (CP) Railway spokesperson told those who attended a community meeting to discuss rail safety.

Since the tragedy in July 2013, when an unattended freight train carrying crude oil came off the track and exploded in the popular tourist destination, the rail industry has been reviewing its safety management system, CP’s Randy Marsh, director of government affairs, told the two dozen or so residents who attended the Sept. 3 meeting hosted by Parkdale-High Park

MP Peggy Nash.

“If we don’t operate safely, we don’t have a successful rail company,” Marsh said.

“We’re reviewing all our procedures. We’re working with all of our stakeholders to improve what we do.”

While Marsh said the federal government acted quickly following the LacMégantic disaster to ensure the factors that led to the

accident wouldn’t happen again, Nash, along with colleague York South-Weston MP Mike Sullivan, a member of the House of Commons Transport Committee, and Christine Collins, president of the union representing rail inspectors, are calling on further urgent action to improve rail safety.

This is in part because Nash’s riding is close to several of the busiest cross-country rail lines in Canada.

On behalf of constituents who have expressed concern for the types of dangerous materials being transported along the rail corridor in their neighbourhood, Nash has written several letters to Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt.

“There is more freight traffic than there has been in the past. Are we taking every safety precaution?” Nash said.

The local politician said she presented a petition in the House of Commons in an effort to get answers on behalf of the community.

Since the Lac-Mégantic

crash, Transport Canada has phased out the most dangerous of tank cars, DOT-111, the least crash-resistant, as recommended by the Transportation Safety Board, Nash said.

It h a s a l s o re q u i re d Emergency Response Assistance Plans (ERAP) for the transportation of crude oil, gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel and ethanol.

Nash invited Transport Canada representatives to attend the meeting, but they did not.

“There is a robust regulatory system in place. We have to do risk assessments regularly by law,” said Marsh, adding CP is a leader in rail safety.

Collins, the national president of the Union of Canadian Transportation Employees, said the organization is calling for an online searchable database of incidents for the public.

Sullivan said the House of Commons Transport Committee has asked for a study of the transportation of dangerous goods because

there is not a lot known about the shipment of crude oil.

There has been four derailments of trains carrying crude oil recently, he said.

“How do we make this stop happening? It’s only a matter of time before it happens again,” said Sullivan.

When asked by residents if CP could re-route its trains to avoid travelling through densely populated areas such as Toronto, Marsh said this question is one he hears often.

He called this a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) issue.

“All our rail routes that go across the country go right through Toronto,” he said.

When asked if train speeds could be reduced, Marsh said CP only operates at 35 miles an hour (significantly below the required 50) when transporting dangerous goods.

Any slower would lead to congestion and idling, he said.
