Port Union Waterfront Festival set for Saturday The sixth annual Port Union Waterfront Festival is set for this Saturday.

The day will feature entertainment, music, numerous

activities for children and a community barbecue.

The festival is organized by a number of community associations including Coronation,

West Rouge and Highland Creek.

Ward 44 Councillor Ron Moeser, the West Rouge Sports and Recreation group and the West Hill-Highland Creek Lions also

help to organize. The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and takes place at the Port Union Village Common Park, at the foot of Port Union Road.

Former Scarborough Southwest Councillor Adrian Heaps appears to have settled what the city considers outstanding legal expenses.

Toronto Council in 2008 decided to reimburse Heaps and a North York councillor, Giorgio Mammoliti, for what both spent defending against compliance audits applications brought against them by rival candidates in the 2006 municipal election.

In 2010, Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday successfully challenged that decision in court and the bylaw authorizing the payments was struck down.

Council reacted by issuing grants to the two councillors to protect what members considered a municipal interest, expressed at the time by thenMayor David Miller as protecting people ”who aren’t rich but want to run for office.”

In February 2011, however, council adopted external legal advice to seek recovery of $64,800 from Heaps and provided him with two years to comply.

Last week, city council approved a proposed settlement with Heaps for an amount which will not be disclosed publicly.

Father’s Day surprise for local teacher A Scarborough teacher received a Father’s Day surprise last week.

David Harris, a French teacher at Donwood Park Public School in the Midland and Lawrence avenues area, thought he was simply taking part in Father’s Day assembly at his school Thursday afternoon.

What he didn’t know was that his student’s had gathered for a special surprise for him. Scarborough Southwest MP Dan Harris, David’s son, was making a statement in the House of Commons in Ottawa recognizing Father’s Day and honouring his dad.

Police are probing two weekend robberies, 15 hours apart, at a Scarborough plaza.

At 1 p.m. Saturday two masked men entered the Scotiabank at 305 Port Union Rd. The suspects jumped over the counter, demanded cash, removed money from the tills and fled eastbound on Fanfare Avenue.

The robbers are described as white, 18 to 20 years old, 150 to 160 pounds with thin builds.

Live streamed The statement was live streamed to the assembly at Donwood school, and it was a complete surprise to David Harris thanks to the staff and students.

“You showed me the value of hard work and following your dreams when you went back to school to become a teacher,” said MP Harris in his statement.

“My love of French, passion for politics, and my values all came from you, dad.”

After viewing the statement, students shared why they think David Harris is such a great teacher, noting

T

he City of Toronto wants to host the 2017 World Youth Championships in Athletics. The event features the world’s top track and field athletes aged 17 and under.

Right now, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal have all shown an interest in hosting the event, and are in the process of submitting their bids to Athletics Canada.

In December of this year, that organization decides which Canadian city will have the right to hold the games. The Canadian bid goes to the International Association of Athletics Federation in late 2014, at which time it will decide the host country.

Some 170 countries participate, and it’s estimated there will be 1,400 athletes and team officials in attendance. our view 600 Canada last hosted in 2003 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Athletics Pan Am legacy Canada estimated the championships generated some $37.4 milwill serve lion in benefits to the Province of Toronto well Quebec, with $28 million of that being in Sherbrooke.

Toronto’s hosting would come on the heels of the Pan Am/Parapan Games set for August of 2015 in our city and surrounding areas.

Having hosted the Pan Am Games just two years earlier will put us in an excellent position to host the World Youth Championships.

One of the key parts of the Pan Am Games in 2015 is the legacy it leaves Toronto in athletic infrastructure and experience. We will already have an army of trained volunteers who can be activated for any number of international community events in Toronto. The legacy of that volunteer force goes beyond athletic events. Their enthusiasm, pride and experience will make them a powerful force.

Perhaps those volunteers become the cornerstones of a new civic ambassadors program that spreads the message of Toronto the Good on a continuous basis.

Real people who are spreading the good word about Toronto is more valuable in terms of international credibility than figureheads who simply do business elsewhere or serve in a political capacity.

Residents don’t have to look far to see the impact the 2015 Pan Am Games are already having; the aquatic centre at the University of Toronto Scarborough for example. Toronto’s bid for the World Youth Championships is another part of that legacy.

A tale that’s clearly wagging the dog

S

o, I was over at Peter and Jill’s house for a barbecue last night and Rover was the center of attention as usual.

Rover is their dog, not one of their children, in case the name didn’t tip you off.

Anyhow, Rover spent the majority of the evening in my lap – his usual modus operandi when anybody with a lap drops by – and the conversation eventually drifted to how come I don’t have a dog.

There’s no mystery there, folks.

It’s the picking-up-thepoop thing.

I just can’t wrap my mind, let alone my hands, around it.

I should qualify that last remark.

Inside the house, I’m in favour of it, of course.

Let’s face it, you’ve got no choice. You don’t pick dog poop up inside, the neighbors will start gossiping behind your back. Maybe

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY even go on the Doctor Phil show to rat you out. Who needs that?

But outside, it just doesn’t make any sense to me to pick their stuff up.

Birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, foxes, raccoons and skunks are all pooping away like there’s no tomorrow and I don’t see anybody rushing around to pick up after any of them.

What are they eating?

Their poop has got to be way worse for the environment than a dog’s.

What can they possibly be eating? Fast food wrappers, cigarette butts? And that’s if they’re lucky.

On the other hand, most dogs I know have very nutritional dietary habits these days. Heck, many

probably eat better than their owners. How can their healthy poop be bad for the grass?

But, there’s an even more critical issue in play here.

I think we’re jeopardizing the mental health of our dogs with the mixed messages we’re sending them.

Take Rover.

When he poops inside the house, he gets a stern scolding. Heck, when he merely passes gas he gets a glare.

Ah, but outside, he’s treated like he just won the lottery.

The moment he so much as assumes the familiar squat, he gets a standing ovation. We’re talking a huge one here, too. Bigger than Carrie Underwood gets when she returns to American Idol.

Then, after Rover is finished doing his business, Peter and Jill wrap up the evidence with more care than a five-star restaurant packing up your leftovers

for you to take home.

What’s Rover supposed to think? Inside it’s a no-no, outside he’s treated like a celebrity.

All that’s missing is the pooparazzi snapping his picture.

I tell ya, the poor boy is this close to seeing a shrink.

But the truth is, my biggest concern isn’t how we’re messing with the minds of pooches, it’s the pecking order around here.

Last I checked we were the top dogs on the planet, not them. We shouldn’t be picking up their poop. If anything, they should be picking up ours.

Mind you, it should begin and end there.

We can live without the standing ovations.

They’re way over-thetop.

Wind energy Tar sands oil pipeline running more costly through Scarborough not wanted for residents To the editor: Re: ‘Scarborough could have been home to wind turbines in lake: Toronto Hydro,’ News, June 6.

Electricity generation from wind is the absolute worst form of generation.

It is ridiculously expensive, has a penchant to generate power when we don’t need it and needs to be backed up with fossil fuel generation that we also pay for when wind is actually producing.

First to the grid Wind tends to produce in the spring and fall when demand is low and because it gets “first to the grid” rights we must pay for, and that usually means we export it

to New York or Michigan at a loss or we must spill clean hydro, which is a very cheap form of electricity.

The other aspect of wind is that it harms nature, killing birds and bats (even in the middle of Lake Ontario) and no one has any idea of what damage it would do to the fish and other inhabitants of the lake.

All one needs to do these days is compare your hydro bill to one from a few years ago to see what wind turbines have caused – your hydro bill to spike by 100 per cent.

The Scarborough Mirror loves letters. Send your letters to the editor to letters@insidetoronto.com

To the editor: Re: ‘Canadian Energ y Pipeline Association disputes Mulcair’s statements,’ Letters, May 30.

I read with interest the letter from Brenda Kenny, president and CEO Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, about the energy pipeline.

NPD leader Thomas Mulcair was speaking up for all of us when he spoke out against shipping oil from the tar

sands. The pipes run near us, through Scarborough.

I guess a good thing to find out about corrosive oil in pipelines would be to ask the people of Mayflower, Arkansas, to explain their pipeline break several months ago.

Maybe they could tell you the tar sands is the most sulfurous and acidic of any oil. It ran in the streets and into their homes.

It was a complete disaster.

The fact is that no matter how much money is set aside to help in the cleanup, a complete cleanup is impossible. I read now the people are becoming sick, with headaches and vomiting, from the fumes.

I bet they wish they had never heard the word “pipeline.”

City needs to keep land transfer tax To the editor: I have heard that Mayor Rob Ford is still intent on reducing, if not eliminating, the city’s land transfer tax.

While I am in favour of eliminating taxes whenever possible, I was surprised to read this tax brought in more than $340 million in 2012 alone.

What a cash cow this has become for the city.

I would like to suggest that not only

should this tax remain in place, more ways should be found to source new revenues from the real estate movers and shakers in this city.

They aren’t suddenly going to away and take their urban sprawl with them if they don’t get what they want. We don’t need to subsidize them because they can afford it.

Ford wants to reduce the tax by 10 per cent, creating a estimated $34 mil-

lion loss to the city coffers.

This money, if spent wisely, is vital to our city services and we can’t afford to turn our backs on this income.

If the players in the market want to play, let them but they have to be under no illusions about the cost of doing business in Toronto.

a closer look at pandi - an award-winning entry at the scarborough film festival

our exclusive look

Silence around mental illness examined Audience Choice Award winner at Scarborough Film Festival

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com

predisposed to mental illness.

Lack of education about mental health isn’t confined to places like Chennai, she added.

“I didn’t even learn about mental health growing up in Canada.”

Ponnambalam said more people need to know about mental health resources available here.

Overcoming the stigma of mental illness has long been an important issue in Toronto’s Tamil community, with some members suffering effects from a long and terrible civil war in Sri Lanka, the devastation of the Indian Ocean Tsunami or substance abuse in Canada.

Ponnambalam’s parents had not wanted the secret about Pandi to come out.

But after the screening Tiuley, her mother, said the movie makes Pandi’s life into something more than a sad story the family tried to forget.

F

or years, the secret of Pandi’s death was kept from her.

Maria-Saroja Ponnambalam last saw her uncle, Pandian Kumaraswamy in 1996 and was 12 when her father Ponnu, Pandi’s brother, told her he had died.

Ponnu wouldn’t say what happened, only that Pandi was “sick.”

“The silence around his death lasted for years,” Ponnambalam says in her feature documentary, Pandi, which had its world premiere at the Scarborough Film Festival this month.

No clear answers The lack of clear answers from anyone about Pandi, who had desperately wanted to be a filmmaker and inspired her to be one, eventually drove the Greater Toronto-raised Ponnambalam to retrace his steps to Chennai, India, and uncover her uncle’s struggles with intensifying mental illness.

Ponnambalam’s first

feature is about communication in her TamilCanadian family, how they could not frankly discuss Pandi’s mental illness when it was an unacknowledged elephant in the room but are seeing it now.

In Pandi, her uncle is an imaginative man who sometimes thought the chalkboard at his childhood school was a movie screen.

Frustrated by his experiences in Chennai’s movie industry, Pandi came to Toronto, took a course at Ryerson University and started working in restaurants and factories.

As he worked 80 hours a week in one factory, he started saying people were spying on him.

Pandi’s relatives in Chennai didn’t know what happened to him in Canada, or much about his

illness. “We never took it very seriously,” says Rathi, an older sister, adding professional opinions differed on what ailed Pandi and what could help him.

“They all sounded like mismanagements.”

One doctor administered shock therapy, and Pandi was also taken to a waterfall known to cure mental illness.

A medical certificate says Pandi was bipolar but Ponnambalam’s family in India and Canada would only refer to his illness as “depression,” a word Ponnambalam said was used to subdue its severity.

Pandi, a former atheist, joined a church in India.

Before he died, he wrote a movie script – brought to life in bursts of animation by the Toronto artist Jessica Palmer– in which he is called Pondy, an inventor

who falls off a building and returns as a “Jesus Christ” seeking to write a “modern testament” of the Bible.

Two years after returning to India, Pandi wanted to return to Toronto as a permanent resident, but was turned down.

He told Ponnu and others he wanted to kill himself, and then did.

“Madness,” Pandi says in some of the writing he left behind, “is you don’t know who you are.”

Award winner Following the screening at the University of Toronto Scarborough, Ponnambalam said working with her parents on the film, winner of the inaugural festival’s Audience Choice Award for features, was fun, but getting answers from her father

was challenging.

Making a documentary is a powerful way to get people to open up to you, said Ponnambalam, who is currently community media project coordinator at the National Film Board Highrise project, which teaches tenants in “vertical surburbs” how to use cameras.

The video camera was an advantage she used: it showed her family she was serious about making Pandi and finding the truth, she said.

Ponnambalam hopes the film – which shifts between Chennai, once called Madras, home movies, and found footage Pandi shot himself at the family’s former apartment near Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue – will raise awareness of the stresses immigration can cause in people

Share story Sharing the story, and “speaking about the things that hurt” makes them hurt less, she said.

It also made Tiuley feel more connected to others who have similar stories of their own.

“It did change me. I’m a different person because of this movie,” she said.

Ponnu said he feels like his brother – whom he guesses would be surprised and happy with the film – has sort of returned through its making.

People have lately told him of their own family members or close friends who are mentally ill, he said.

“We have this problem among us. We try to ignore it. I think it’s still a problem.”

Local players at continental basketball championships Pope John Paul’s Danielle Garven, Eternati Willock on Canadian Cadette Women’s Team SEAN DURACK active@insidetoronto.com T h e C a d e t t e Wo m e n’s National Basketball Team has some big plans this week in Cancun, Mexico and a couple of Scarborough athletes, both from Pope John Paul II Catholic Secondary School’s senior girls squad, are being counted on to play vital roles.

The under-16 women’s Canadian team, which includes Pope John Paul’s Danielle Garven and Eternati Willock, who both also play together for the Advantage Titans, departed Sunday for the five-day FIBA Americas Continental Championships.

The championships are a qualifier for the world championships later this year.

The 2012 Cadette women’s team won a bronze medal at last year’s under-17 world championships for women

said Clarke, head coach of Ryerson University’s women’s program.

“She can impact the play on both sides of the floor.

Great rebounder, great touch around the rim.”

As for Garven, who does most of her talking on the court, her size and shooting skills will be her greatest assets this week.

DANIELLE GARVEN

ETERNATI WILLOCK

in Amsterdam and is aiming to qualify and improve upon that mark this year; a result third year head coach Carly Clarke calls “a new level of accomplishment” for the program.

“We’ve got a very different group this year. Last year our positional strength was a bit different...we aren’t necessarily as strong in the paint from the post position, but we have nice length (size) and athleti-

cism this year. I’m confident in this group.”

While this will be 16-yearold Garven’s first experience with the Canadian women’s national basketball program, Willock, 15, is the lone carryover from the bronze medalwinning lineup of two years ago.

“Eternati was part of the experience two years ago so she’s going to bring some leadership to the group,”

Impact game “A quiet personality, but she can impact the game in a couple of different ways.

She fits in to our team environment very well,” said Clarke.

The two Grade 10 students both played up this year for their senior high school program where they helped lead the team to the provincial high school championship game, settling for a silver medal. Their familiarity with each other’s play on the court

will serve the Cadette team well in Mexico.

“We work well together; we’re like a dynamic duo,” joked Willock, who has an older sister who also plays competitively and a father who fared well playing university ball in Canada.

Willock, who only started playing basketball four years ago when her father signed her up to the Scarborough Basketball Association where she met Garven, is focusing on making an impact this week from a defensive standpoint.

“I definitely want to contribute more on the defensive end – rebounds, blocks and steals so I can create some opportunities for my team. I just want to provide for them and create some offence for my team.”

Garven, whose father played for the Centennial Colts’ basketball program, plans to keep it simple this

week.

“Just work hard and represent my country in a good way.”

On the subject of her relationship with Willock, she noted: “Each year we play together we improve. We feed off of each other so if one is not doing well we pick the other one up.

“And we always know where the other one is going to be on the court, which helps out a lot,” she added.

Both girls, who plan to graduate in 2015, are already receiving scholarship interest south of the border.

The qualifying round starts tomorrow against Venezuela.

The girls will play the following day against Puerto Rico and then meet Mexico on Friday.
