Engagement between residents, city hall examined

Everybody cut, Footloose ®

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com The right-of-centre suburban councillor and the urbanist community organizer have an odd little partnership going.

Paul Ainslie, member of Mayor Rob Ford’s inner circle from Scarborough East, must like where Dave Meslin, of the Toronto Public Space Committee, is going with The Fourth Wall, a travelling exhibit arguing city hall does a lot wrong when it comes to getting residents involved in politics.

For one thing, Ainslie is hosting the exhibit at the East Scarborough Boys and Girls Club in his ward on Monday and has invited Meslin there for a town hall meeting between 7 and 9 p.m.

Engage citizens For another, the councillor has used his own position as chairperson of the City of Toronto’s government management committee to take many of Meslin’s ideas out for a test drive.

“I am committed to improving the democratic process and ensuring we are engaging citizens at every stop along the way,” Ainslie said in a release this week.

“The Fourth Wall contains 36 policy recommendations, and I have already moved motions at GMC to explore 19 of these proposals.”

Last month, for example, Ainslie asked city staff to report to his com>>>Exploring, page 6

Police share Common Sense during traffic blitz Toronto police were at 35 north Scarborough elementary schools last week, and not to bring apples to the teachers.

During Project Common Sense, officers from 42 Division and City of Toronto parking enforcement officers were watching the way parents picked up and dropped off children – particularly during the 15-minute

periods before the school day begins and ends.

They spoke to more than 1,000 parents and handed out 489 pamphlets about traffic safety, police said in a release yesterday.

Officers also issued seven parking tags and 68 provincial offence notices, though in 57 other cases they decided just to caution driv-

ers about a Highway Traffic Act offence.

Police, who receive many complaints about the school-zone driving and parking habits of parents in their Scarborough division north of Hwy. 401, urged people to follow the rules when driving around schools, and to respect crossing guards, school bus drivers, volunteers and school

Peck students help those in need

Modern Batik Movement starts up in Agincourt MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com

CLOTHING DRIVE: George Peck Public School students Caitlyn Hundey, left, Jonathan Silveira, and Abhinav Debnath present the results of the school’s clothing drive for New Circles. The school collected more than 1,000 pounds of clothing to donate to the group that helps families in need.

Wheelchair basketballers honoured Scarborough players on gold medal winning team The Toronto Raptors are honouring members of the gold medal winning Canadian men’s wheelchair basketball team in a ceremony prior to the Raptor’s game against Phoenix tonight at the Air Canada Centre.

Canadian men’s wheelchair basketball team members Abdi Dini, who is from Scarborough, Brandon Wagner and their coach Jerry Tonello will be at the ceremony.

Scarborough’s Adam Lancia was also a member of the gold medal winning Canadian team.

The men’s wheelchair basketball team went undefeated in eight games at the London 2012 Paralympics to win their third gold medal in four Paralympic games. The team have been on the podium four consecutive times since 2000.

In other Raptors news, Scarborough Walk of Famer Jamaal Magloire is coming back to the team in an off-court role. The former NBA all-star will serve as a basketball development consultant and community ambassador. A veteran of 12 NBA seasons, Magloire spent last season in a Raptors uniform and did attend training camp this fall before being cut.

A founding 2006 Scarborough Walk of Fame inductee, Magloire attended Wexford Collegiate in Scarborough for Grades 9 and 10.

With batik, Maiyra Wasid says, you can always fix your mistakes.

But more than that, Wasid and other young Scarborough women, using water soluble dyes and hot wax liquified in rice cookers, are turning this art form into the beginnings of a business.

And others are welcome to join them, they say.

Tw o s u m m e r s a g o, Da v i d Kibuuka, a Ugandan-born artist from Oakville taught a dozen L’Amoreaux Collegiate girls “modern batik,” the ancient craft using some of his own artistic techniques.

When Kibuuka’s workshop was over, eight students wanted to keep working on batik.

“They all wanted to do something more, but they didn’t know what to do,” said Evan MullerCheng of Agincourt Community Services Association, the sponsoring agency.

What they did was create a “social enterprise,” the Modern Batik Movement, and several, after mastering Kibuuka’s techniques, went on to teach workshops on their own in the Scarborough neighbourhoods of Steeles-L’Amoreaux and Dorset Park.

Now that they’re starting to sell their batik paintings online, along with a 2013 Modern Batik Calendar to support the program, some are seeing batik as a way into the professional art world.

“It’s hard to grasp at the start, but once you get it, you like it,” Maiyra Wasid said some weeks ago at Chester Le Community Corner before demonstrating how the transparent wax is used to build layers on white cotton fabric that later are boiled away, leaving colours sealed behind.The wax takes time to dry, but Wasid said the whole process of making a batik painting is fun and relaxing. “It takes away stress from school and all that stuff we have going on,” she said.

“We use the time when we’re ironing to talk to each other,” added Jenny Ng, a Ryerson University student who works alongside MullerCheng and co-ordinates the Modern Batik website (www.mbgallery.ca) they launched this fall.

Batik painting always seems like an experiment, because you never know exactly how it will come out, Ng said. “I find it very exciting when I do it, that I have control but not

full control.”

In intermediate workshops students learn such things as how to fade the dyes from dark to light, and a technique called fragmentation that can create the outline of a face.

The colours produced, Ng said, are sharper than in painting with acrylic or pastel.

The experienced batik artists work with several layers of dye and wax that have to be carefully planned.

“As a beginner it’s hard to see past the first couple of layers,” said Ng, adding Kibuuka is “always looking or the fourth or fifth layer, or the sixth one.”

Movement members have taught workshops in schools and public libraries. This summer, Wasid led a class of local youths, seniors and middle-aged women that produced batik hijabs they could wear to school or parties.

“They really like the idea that it’s one of a kind and that they created it themselves,” Ng said.

A seamstress taught some of the movement’s artists how to produce handbags, and there is interest in putting batik patterns on T-shirts and dresses, said Muller-Cheng.

“The vision is to keep growing.”

About the only setback for the movement is that it hasn’t drawn much interest from men and boys.

A couple of male students came to a beginner workshop but didn’t continue, said Muller-Cheng.

Kibuuka, who is building a school in Uganda for students who lost parents to HIV, wants to have some MBM graduates go to Africa to teach his techniques to children and single parents there to give them a future means of earning money.

“The potential for the youth in Modern Batik (in Toronto) is huge as you can see the kind of work they are putting out and they just began working on fabrics,” wrote Kibuuka, who recounts a history of Modern batik art on his website, www.modernbatikartworkshops.com Modern batik continues to fascinate Stephanie Sing, an originalmovement member who co-wrote a business plan that got the group $500 in start-up money.

“It is a flexible medium that encourages creativity and an exploration of self.” Sing said.

This fall, Scarborough-Agincourt MPP Soo Wong bought two prints from Sing through the movement’s gallery site. The calendar sells through the site for $10, with proceeds going to the batik program.

Lessons learned from making snap decisions

A

fter contentious debate, Toronto Council has reversed the decision to ban plastic bags.

The overwhelming vote to do so was brought upon due to the threat of legal challenges by retailers and the plastics industry that voiced their displeasure at the lack of public consultation.

Rather than making a snap decision on such a major issue, council time could have been better spent if there was some consultation process to begin with. our view Let this be a lesson learned.

Not all issues warrant a refPlastic bag erendum as we’ve elected our ban: listen to councillors to govern and represent the best interest of our the people respective wards.

But there are some issues that have greater implications and interest within the community where they have to get it right. Industry, retail and a keenly interested public all need the opportunity to help direct the consideration of the ban – through public consultation.

And there’s no shortage of major issues across the city that demand more input from the community.

For example, ongoing discussion about a Torontobased casino should remain a priority with far reaching implications to the city from economic benefits to the social and health costs of gambling addictions.

Any consultation process itself should also be opened to engage as many people as possible and not dominated by special interest groups or more vocal residents as it can be in town hall meetings.

It’s easier said than done, of course. How many meetings are called where true public members attend? And when they do, what percentage of the population are actually represented? Never enough for any to claim to speak for any kind of majority of city residents.

The hardest part of a politician’s job is to truly understand the desires and priorities of the people they serve.

It’s subduing the lobby. It’s denying political pressure from compatriots. It’s pursuit of that feeling of knowing you know what the people want – and not what you simply think is good for them.

Conversely, community engagement goes two ways. Residents need to accept responsibility for the actions taken by the politicians they put into office in a democratic fashion.

In the end, the priority lies with the elected official to understand the person he or she is grateful and honoured to represent.

To the editor: How long will it take to realize the transportation problem cannot be fixed by continuing the same practices that got us into the mess?

The problems are first of all a property tax system that rewards sprawl and penalizes high-density residential properties. Secondly, the current road system was designed in the ’50s and ’60s when 20-foot (six metre, if you prefer) long cars were common.

Roads are still marked for those cars (particularly cars).

Traffic controls are not coordinated at all with the result that people race from one stoplight to the next.

A national transportation plan would be a waste of time and possibly money if it went anywhere. If the people who benefit from something do not have to pay for it, the money will not be well spent.

Local roads, sewers and other “linear” infrastructure need to be financed by the people who use it.

Mandatory sentencing takes toll on Ford

P

erhaps one of the reasons Mayor Rob Ford’s trouble has so captured the public’s attention is due to the number of lessons it offers.

One can give thought to the consequences of not seeking advice and ignoring warnings. One can take away how unnecessary was this fall from grace, since council was about to rescind the integrity commissioner’s report by a large margin.

Yet people are still grappling what to make of a law so imperfect that the presiding judge called it a “blunt instrument,” one that is exacting a tremendous penalty for “a modest amount of money which (Ford) endeavoured to raise for a legitimate charity.”

Much of Justice Hackland’s judgment is critical of the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. But under that act, none of these considerations matter. If a member of council does not comply, removal from office is mandatory.

Beyond the headlines

david soknacki

To see if Ford can remain in office, Hackland spent much of his judgment examining the act’s narrow exemptions pointby-point. He rejects inadvertence, since Ford’s speech and voting were deliberate.

He cannot find the Mayor’s behaviour an “error in judgment” within the meaning of the law. Since the mayor balked at repayment the judge ruled the amount was significant to the mayor, so the exemption of insignificance does not apply.

By the end of the judgment, we are left with a stark conclusion: under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, Ford was in breach. Even with what Hackland calls “significant mitigating circumstances’” he is able to do little other than

to allow Ford to seek election next term.

Assuming the courts agree to allow Ford to remain in office during his appeal, the mayor’s political future will soon rest in the hands of Divisional Court. There he will face great challenges. New evidence cannot be introduced.

He must not only overcome arguments from the original complaint, but also must convince Divisional Court the closely reasoned decision of Hackland was flawed. Given the facts, and the obvious intent of the act, a successful appeal will be a tough sell.

At the same time, Divisional Court will be aware of the act’s flaws Hackland pointed out, including his opinion that Ford’s ill-fated speech at council was “an unfortunate but technical breach.” They will be aware it is Ford’s first offence, that all Torontonians will bear a significant expense to address a $3,000 problem, and that the court would be overturning an election.

The indisputable facts, the

wording of the legislation, and the problem of a disproportionate mandatory sentence provision put Divisional Court in an interesting place. Should the court wish to soften the rigour of the law, it will have to push its influence beyond the act. Mitigating the penalty will probably require a form of judicial discretion that runs completely counter to mandatory sentencing philosophy.

And perhaps here we come to another lesson.

The politics of the mayor and his closest allies have been founded on principles that include tightening laws and mandatory sentencing.

Blindly taking this direction will surely cause the mayor to be removed from office. Only by relying on the court to interpret the legislation broadly and to allow itself discretion does the mayor have any chance of remaining. n David Soknacki is a former City of Toronto councillor and budget chief.

A 10-piece live rock band from the school’s music department will accompany the performances MARIA TZAVARAS scm@insidetoronto.com

S

ir Oliver Mowat Collegiate is getting ready to stage its largest show ever with a production of the musical about teens and their right to dance, Footloose.

Based on the popular 1984 movie, and more recently the remake in 2011, this show is written by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie, with music by Tom Snow and lyrics by Pitchford and Kenny Loggins.

Shelly Meichenbaum, the show’s director and choreographer, said this is the school’s annual major production and with 50 students and 30 cast and crew, making it the biggest cast ever. A 10-piece live rock band from the school’s music department will also accompany the performers throughout the show.

While staging such a massive production has its challenges, Meichenbaum said it’s also ideal because the goal is to bring more attention to the arts at Mowat, both internally and to the wider community.

“We’re trying to draw more people

in this show is how much fun it is, but also the challenge for him in portraying this type of character who has to overcome a series of different obstacles in his life.

“Of all the roles I’ve ever played this one is so different because he’s definitely not the kind of person I would be, so it really makes me have to dig deep to play him,” he said.

Meichenbaum said Mowat takes pride in the fact that its theatre productions are high-quality and presented in a professional manner.

Along with the friends and family of Mowat, the school welcomes, and hopes, members of the community will also come to enjoy the show.

into music and drama, and one of the best ways to do that is to do a show that involves a lot of students and has a broad appeal,” she said.

A classic feel-good story about teenagers fighting for what they believe is right, Footloose is set in the 1980s in a small midwest farming town called Bomont. It follows a teenager named Ren, who comes to Bomont from Chicago with his mom after his dad abandons them. dancing outlawed Meichenbaum said soon after Ren arrives, it’s not just being the new kid that he has to contend with, but also the fact that his favourite pastime, dancing, has been outlawed by the town preacher. She said Reverend Shaw passed the law as a reaction to four teens who died, one of whom was his son, in a car accident on their way home from a dance.

“It’s really about this kid and the effect he has on this small-town community...and how he revives the community and brings it back to life,” she said.

Justin Birco is playing the lead role of Ren, and while he wasn’t

even born when the original movie came out, he said he has watched both of the movies and thinks Ren is a great character to play.

“He’s so cocky and he knows who he is and what he wants, and he definitely is willing to fight for what he wants,” Birco said.

The 16-year-old Scarborough resident, who plans to make a career in the performing arts, said he’s excited to be in this show and knew he wanted to be ever since the school announced they were staging it last summer.

The Lido Motel, above, is hosting The Family Suite, which is art made by children who have called the motel home during some point in their lives. The motel exhibit at 4664 Kingston Rd. will be open Tuesdays until Jan. 29 from 3 to 5 p.m. or by appointment

Interactive art project, gallery at Lido Motel Exhbit explores making home when in transition Life, much as hundreds of homeless and refugee families have experienced it on Scarborough’s Kingston Road, will be on display starting today in an “interactive evolving gallery.”

“The Family Suite” is in two rooms in the basement of the Lido Motel, one of several West Hill and Cliffside businesses which have leased the City of Toronto space for Family Residence whenever its Family Residence on Kingston Road is full.

Jumblies Theatre and the Community Arts Guild have been working with children at the Lido for three years creating art that will form part of the exhibit, which is equipped with furnishings “embedded with story and

experience.”

More will be added until the gallery is dismantled in late January, Sean Frey, the project’s lead, said this week. leave behind The project, the groups added in a release, “explores the reality of making home when in transition, and the traces we leave behind after we move on.”

All are welcome at Friday’s opening, which is from 3 to 5 p.m.

The motel exhibit at 4664 Kingston Rd. will be open Tuesdays until Jan. 29 from 3 to 5 p.m. or by appointment.

Exploring how local citizens can become more engaged in community issues >>>from page 1 mittee in January on “social sentiment analysis,” or how the city can

use social media to get quick opinions on civic issues from public transit to potholes, “much

like having a virtual town hall meeting.”

Meslin’s proposals to “create a culture of local citizen engagement” (at thefourthwall.ca) range from ranked-choice municipal voting down to having simple flyers at city hall explaining how to run for office or get involved as a citizen. effective He bothers to question how effective the plain municipal notices residents receive through their mail slot, or readers see in newspapers such as this one, really are. “Imagine if businesses used the same technique in their advertising,” Meslin says on the Fourth Wall site.

Council orders Toronto Zoo’s elephants be sent to California sanctuary DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com The Toronto Zoo’s three elephants will be going to the PAWS sanctuary after all, despite concerns raised by zoo officials that the California sanctuary is rife with tuberculosis, and against the recommendations of Mayor Rob Ford’s executive committee.

The executive committee had decided to leave the decision of where to send the three elephants up to the Toronto Zoo Board — essentially reversing a decision made by council more than a year ago, to take retired game show host Bob Barker up on an offer to fly the trio to the California hospice for retired performing elephants. The zoo staff is looking at sending the elephants to a new facility in Florida that has not yet opened.

That recommendation followed the advice of Toronto Zoo CEO John Tracogna and professional veterinarians there who cited the emergence of tuberculosis among the elephant population at PAWS, as well as its lack of accreditation with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

But council saw differently this week.

Scarborough-Rouge River Councillor Raymond Cho moved an amendment to the recommendations that would reaffirm sending the elephants to California. Council supported him 32-8. The vote ends a tug of war between councillors who support the conservation group Zoo Check and other advocates on behalf of animals, and those who supported the Toronto Zoo staff, who have been consistently opposed to first moving the elephants and then sending them to PAWS. Etobicoke Centre Councillor Gloria Lindsay Luby said council should have more respect for their staff. “I believe we should listen to our zoo staff or you know what? Fire the whole bunch of them,” she said.

Etobicoke-Lakeshore Councillor Mark Grimes, a supporter of the zoo, said he was “appalled at the way we’re talking to our staff. We might as well let Zoo Check run our zoo.”

Meanwhile, York Centre Councillor James Pasternak chided zoo staff for being obstinate in the face of council’s decision. “This council made a decision and while I respect the passion from the zoo, the confrontational approach undermines their case,” he said.

Pope John Paul II girls ousted by the best at OFSAA Scarborough school reaches quarterfinals at girls provincial basketball championships If you’re going to lose, you might as well lose to the best – and that’s exactly what Scarborough’s Blessed John Paul II Catholic Secondary School did at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) 4A girls basketball championships,

which wrapped up last weekend in London.

John Paul was the top ranked school from Toronto, seeded ninth (with Eastern Commerce Collegiate and Northern Secondary ranked 10th and 11th, respectively) out of the 16 teams.

And while their 1-2 record, on the surface, seems less than spectacular, the two losses were to the eventual gold and silver medalists who were ranked first and third, respectively, going into the tournament.

And, further, their loss in the third round quarter-final game

52-49 to eventual gold medalist St. Thomas More from Hamilton gave them, by far, their closest scare – their other three wins being all in double digits.

Leading Pope in scoring were Eternati Willock 20 and Cheyenne Creighton 18.

The girls advanced to the

t h e u l t i m a t e w o m e n ’s h o l i d a y l o u n g e

OPENING THIS FRIDAY AT 1PM

quarter-final round with a 40-19 second-round win (Danielle Garven 18) over eighth ranked Notre Dame from Ajax after opening the tournament with a 63-43 loss (Cheyenne Creighton 17) to eventual silver medalist St. Edmund Campion from Brampton.

The OFSAA 4A gold medal game was won by More 51-35 over Campion.

n VOLLEYBALL

OFSAA boys volleyball wrapped up last weekend with Scarborough teams in top spots. n Dr. Norman Bethune Collegiate was perfect at their Toronto District School Board (TDSB) level in both post and regular seasons, but were in tough at the 4A OFSAA championships in Hamilton.

Ranked 13th out of 16 teams, they finished 1-2 in their preliminary round, won their opening consolation round game against 12th ranked St. Michael’s College from midtown Toronto before bowing out to eighth-seeded Rick Hansen from Mississauga who went on to win the consolation championship. n Blessed Cardinal Newman Catholic High School went 1-3 in their preliminary round pool in the 3A championships in Kingston and were eliminated with an opening consolation round loss. n Francis Libermann Catholic High School, seeded eighth, was perfect in their preliminary round pool at the 2A champioships in Stratford with an impressive four match wins. However, they were ousted in their elimination round quarter-final match by sixthranked Samuel-Genest who won silver.

POWER by BLACK FRIDAY SALE

Cover your bases before you paint You’ve decided to makeover a room in your home with a fresh coat of paint. You’ve selected a colour, purchased the paint and cleared your weekend plans. So you’re all set to start painting, right? Wrong. Paint isn’t usually the culprit of a bad paint job. But cutting corners while prepping a space is.

Follow these few simple steps before you start painting and you’ll have a finished room that looks like it was painted by a professional.

• Remove obstacles. Take down picture frames, wall décor, removable fixtures and the nails holding them up. Don’t forget about electrical, light and phone switch covers. Clear furniture out. Anything you can-

not remove can be placed in the centre of the room and covered with plastic or drop cloths.

• Inspect the wall. Any loose paint, holes or cracks should be fixed before priming and especially before painting.

• Eliminate grime. After surface repairs have been made, the wall needs to be cleaned. Use a good greasecutting detergent to remove unwanted material and residue from the surface.

• Protect your floor. Use plastic or fabric drop cloths to protect your floor while you’re painting. Even if you’re an experienced painter, it’s better to take the extra step than end up with a damaged floor. To

keep everything in its place, the double sided drop cloth tape is a useful little tool. The dual adhesive secures drop cloths on both sides, preventing slipping and shifting.

• Use quality tools. The quality of the applicators is going to affect the final finish of your room. Invest in a set of durable brushes and roller covers that will last longer and perform better over an extended period of time, saving you money and time.

Always remember to pay close attention to the prepainting process. As tempting as it may be to simply roll on a fresh coat of paint, doing a little prep work can go a long way.

Transit

Metrolinx CEO outlines priorities to board of trade RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig announced an updated list of regional transit priorities, which include two new subway lines for Toronto.

Addressing a packed lunch-hour audience of business professionals at the Toronto Board of Trade yesterday, McCuaig listed an estimated

$34-billion worth of new transit fast-tracked for completion within 15 years. The change in priorities for the provincial agency’s four-year old Big Move plan was required to make sure it was up to date, he said.

“We needed to define some projects in greater detail,” said McCuaig.

“We also needed to reflect all the relevant studies that have been completed since 2008.”

municipal governments will be expected to kick in a portion of the funding for the projects, the lion’s share of the money – more than $20-billion according to numbers provided by Metrolinx – will need to come from residents in the GTHA, said McCuaig. “We still have to pay for these services, whoever builds them. We can’t expect the money to come from anybody but ourselves.”

One of the new priorities is a downtown relief subway which the TTC has long considered essential for easing overcrowding on the existing Yonge line. Should funding be allocated for a east-west downtown relief line, to travel between Pape station and St. Andrew according to one plans proposed by the TTC, the subway could commence running within 15 years – 10 years quicker than originally proposed. The

accelerated timeline is necessary, he said, due to a projected 25 per cent increase in subway ridership by 2031. Other projects announced in yesterday’s update included a bus rapid tranit lane between the Scarborough Town Centre and downtown Oshawa.

Earlier, Metrolinx announced the master agreement with the TTC on the operation of four light rail transit lines had been completed.
