Scarborough celebrates Canada Day ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com It was an emotional Canada Day for Terry Storrar yesterday. The longtime Scarborough resident has been coming to the Royal Canadian Legion’s Highland Creek Canada Day parade with his father nearly every year since the 1980s.
His father, a Second World War veteran, passed away in October. “It’s not easy, I must admit, because he was always here too,” Storrar said of his dad. “This was his place to be. He really loved it here.” Storrar’s family has been associated with the legion since moving to Scarborough from
London, England in 1969. “It’s good to be here. It reminds me of family and why my parents came here,” Storrar said. “They came here to give us a better life, and they’ve done that. I’m very proud of them.” Larr y Thor ne has also attended the parade for many years. “I support the legion and I
support Canada Day and all the festivities that the community puts on,” he said. “I’m from a military family...My father was with the 48th Highlanders of Canada in Sicily and my mother was a navy cook stationed in Halifax.” Jamie Parker of Community Head Injury Resource Services >>>THOMSON, page 8
Margarett Best, a Scarborough MPP who was among the most prominent members of Ontario’s Liberal government, has resigned her seat. “I want to thank all of my constituents for their support and friendship,” Best said in a statement late last week on her personal Facebook page. “I take with me the satisfaction of being greatly enriched to have shared in your history, your culture, your ways of life and our common humanity.” Best did not give a reason for her resignation, which she noted came “after more than five years of loyal service” to the governing Liberals. She could not be reached for comment. In 2007, Best was a lawyer and single mother running for the first time, the chosen successor of Mary Anne Chambers, who retired from politics after serving a single term as MPP. Best’s victory in ScarboroughGuildwood helped the Liberals sweep Scarborough’s seats and she was immediately appointed Ontario’s minister of health promotion. Best also served as consumer affairs minister before Kathleen Wynne replaced Dalton McGuinty as premier this year. >>>BEST, page 8

suburbs. Often, these investments were programs to support young people or give youth a safe place to be in such neighbourhoods, but March said he’s been talking to people across Toronto who say they need more help serving youth at risk. “There’s a lot of incredible people doing a lot of incredible work out there. But is it enough?” he asked. Members of the movement want to re-engage corporate Toronto to offer more job placements, scholarships, mentoring and other programs.
Businesses – and everybody else in Toronto – must do more for youth at risk of criminal involvement if the city hopes to see a summer without shootings, says a new coalition called the Zero Gun Violence Movement. Groups concerned with violence in Toronto, where 12 lives were cut short by guns already this year, announced a a 90-day anti-gun violence campaign recently in Scarborough. Shootings Unfortunately, word came to the organizers a man in his 20s on Danforth Avenue was being rushed to a trauma centre after being shot multiple times. “We didn’t even finish closing down the launch,” Louis March of the African Canadian Heritage Association recalled in an interview last week. And the next day, a 19-yearold was shot at Midland and Lawrence avenues about a

block away from where the Movement’s press conference was held at Redemption and Reintegration Services, an agency providing training and support for people coming out of the justice system. Both men were seriously
wounded but expected to survive. The two incidents just show “we have a lot more work to do,” said March, who has been doing antiviolence work since the city’s infamous Summer of the Gun
in 2005. That string of shootings led to creation of the province’s Youth Challenge Fund and to city and United Way investments in “priority neighbourhoods” recognized to lack resources in Toronto’s former
If companies commit to go a little beyond what they already do, the results will be important for at-risk youth, said March. “It exposes them to a different world.” March would also like to see more collaboration and sharing between community organizations working against violence, and a fresh look at the strategies being used.
The movement wants to recruit local celebrities and other high profile people – too many are on the sidelines - to join its visits to community events this summer, where members will try to generate “positive buzz” around the issue, March said. Gun violence in Toronto is like a war with many battlefields, he added, and though it won’t disappear completely this summer, the movement hopes to chip away at it. Besides RRS, partner groups include the Black Daddies Club, Breaking t h e C y c l e , I m p a c t n’ Communities, Young and Potential Fathers, United Mothers Opposing Violence Everywhere, More Than A Haircut, Urban Financial Services Coalition, Out of Bounds, First Fridays, Toronto Loves Kicks, Harriet Tubman Community Services, AfroUnited, For Youth Initiatives and the African Canadian Coalition of Community Organizations.

Real action needed on transportation
D
ata released last week from Statistics Canada confirmed what most commuters in the Greater Toronto Area already know – we have the longest commute times in the country. Our average travel time of 32.8 minutes to work (one way) is the longest in Canada’s urban regions, according to the data. That makes us more than seven minutes longer than the national average. Something else to think about while sitting on the bus, train or in your cars: our commuting time is now among the longest in North America – topped only by New York City with 34.7 minutes and Washington D.C. with 33.8 minutes, according to Statistics Canada. The data came from the National Household Survey conducted in 2011 by StatsCan. The reality, though, is that the commute is much longer for many Greater Toronto Area residents. This is not something we should our view be proud of. It’s a condemnation of past governments and their poor planning. We can’t wait much StatsCan longer for better road systems, numbers paint better development and improved public transit systems. sombre picture The StatsCan numbers are consistent with the Toronto Region Board of Trade’s stats on Toronto’s average two-way commute time of 66 minutes. The cost of the time we’re spending travelling is not only impacting businesses and their productivity; it’s taking a huge toll on the commuters themselves. According the TRBOT’s A Green Light To Moving the Toronto Region: Paying for Public Transportation Expansion, congestion is costing the Toronto region $6 billion in lost productivity annually. “No surprise then, that irrespective of who’s measuring, or how, the results are consistent: the Toronto Region’s problems of gridlock are amongst the worst of any major urban centre in the world and getting worse by the day; a fact the region’s weary commuters know all too well as they try to navigate through our congested roads and packed transit systems,” said TRBOT President and CEO Carol Wilding in the Green Light report. It can’t go on. Hopefully, these latest numbers from StatsCan can be used to make politicians at the federal, provincial and municipal levels understand that transportation investment is critical to the economic and social success of Canada’s largest city. Those very politicians can expect it to be a key election issue, and one on which local voters will be looking for real answers and action.

Tips on how to keep cool in this heat
M
an, it’s been hot lately. Couple the heat with a humidex that’s been higher than the CN Tower and even a walk in the park is no walk in the park right now. Heck, just sitting around and soaking up the rays can suck the energy right out of you. So what do you do in these oppressive conditions if you like to run outdoors, like I do? Toning it down a tad is always a good start and making sure to have plenty of scheduled pit stops along the way also helps. That’s my game plan, anyway. I’ll take you through one of my favourite Sunday morning summer jaunts. I start at the intersection of Heath Street and Spadina Avenue head south to St. Clair Avenue, turn right and make my way west. After I get the kinks out, I hit my first checkpoint, a popular
jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY neighbourhood dessert stop: Nothing And I Mean Nothing But Ice Cream. I love their yummy flavours. Drew Berrymore, Cocoa Chanel, Cherry Seinfeld, to name but a few. I never partake in any of them in this heat, mind you. I just open the freezer door and stand next to it and enjoy the breeze. Ahhhhhh. The initial gust feels like the corner of Portage and Main on a Winnipeg winter morning. You can’t beat it on a scorchingly hot day. Suitably refreshed, I’m ready to continue. So I head north on Dufferin Street all the way to Eglinton and then take another schedule break, checkpoint two, Yes Frills, the top-of-the-line grocery chain. I head straight to aisle 12, the frozen orange
juice section. Oh yeahhhhhh. It’s just what the cooling doctor ordered. When you’re overheated, there’s nothing like being next to a row of Sixty Second Maid Orange Concentrate Without Pulp to send shivers up and down the spine. I just lean over the counter and feel the soothing draft rising from the shelf. I hold for 15 seconds, then step back. Then I repeat. If you’re thinking of taking a stab at it on your next run, try two sets of three to start. Moving right along, I head east on Eglinton toward Bathurst Street to checkpoint three, the wellknown summer hangout, You Olde Smoothie. You don’t have to order a smoothie to feel the benefits. Just looking at the poster on the sign out front for the house specialty, the Frozen Tundra, is enough. The mouth-watering
frothy blend of artificial milk, artificial juice, artificial ice and artificial flavouring is enough to give you real goose bumps. Sufficiently energized for the home stretch I work my way down Bathurst and stop at checkpoint four for a quick spritz from the air pump at The Gas Station Nearby. It doesn’t get much better than that. Then I head back to my place for the grand finale. There’s a sprinkler on the lawn next door set up by the new kids on the block which, as it turns out, is made to order for the old kids on the block in this kind of weather, too. Take it from one who knows. It really hits the spot. I can’t wait to do it all again next Sunday. Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much.

Time to get rid of Kingston Road streetcars To the editor: In a recent edition, there was a full-page ad from the TTC advising us about the streetcar track renovations on Kingston Road. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they decided to finally take out the streetcar tracks instead? Think of the financial savings to us and the huge
reduction in travel times for everyone who drives on this insanely over-crowded stretch of roadway. It is time to remove this ridiculous out-of-date spur line and to start coming up with other practical ways to alleviate the chronic congestion that plagues these neighbourhoods. If anything
epitomizes the impaired thinking of those in power when it comes to transit in this city, it is the unwillingness of the ‘old’ City of Toronto to pull the plug on the streetcar. Hey, 80 years ago railed transit was the only game in town and it served ‘old’ Toronto well.
I personally remember the streetcars looping at Birchmount Road right up until the 1960s. However when buses came along, they couldn’t pull up the tracks fast enough throughout the city to
alleviate the congestion that they were causing. So why have those in power decided to leave the remainder of the Kingston Road spur line in place? It is a major impediment to other
vehicles, a danger to pedestrians and it is a major cause of air pollution because of the multi-kilometre traffic jams it creates every day. Chris Belfontaine
Mom says thanks to students, Thomson/Bendale approval welcomed staff at Joseph Howe school by former Scarborough school trustee To the editor: The Toronto District School Board recently approved consolidation of Bendale Business and Technical Institute and David and Mary Thomson high schools, located at Midland and Lawrence avenues. More than eight years ago, when I was the trustee, I had an idea – consolidating these two schools to improve education and bring the school
into the 21st century. While the schools were built more than 50 years ago, they weren’t serving the students and community as well as they should have. It took more than eight years with the community supporting the idea, to bring this idea to conclusion. So I’d like to congratulate all of the members of the Midland Park Community for the countless hours in
AT WOODBINE SHOPPING CENTRE
meetings they attended over that time; Supt. Karen Lynn Stadnyk and the staff of the Toronto District School Board for their time to support this great idea. Once again, congratulations to everyone involved in making the community better for students. Scott Harrison
To the editor: I am the mother of a Scarborough Mirror carrier, who is a student of Joseph Howe Senior Public School. Tyler seriously injured his left eye a number of weeks ago when he was hit with a lacrosse ball. It caused blood and high pressure on his eye. He was put on bed rest with no TV, video, texting or any use of the eyes. He had to have three different drops every two hours. For a 14-year-old boy who
is very active to sit and do nothing for a week — that turned to almost three — in order to lessen the pressure and inflammation of his eye, it was a hard go. Tyler returned to school and his route with help at the end of this month. I would like to offer a thank you to both the principal and Tyler’s teacher at Joseph Howe Senior Public School, but most of all to the numerous students who helped with his papers when he could not use his eyes, which made life
easier. The parents of these students should know how their children made our lives less emotional and less stressful, and helped make Tyler less bored. My hat goes off to these classmates and friends. What a breath of fresh air to know not all teens are spoiled, selfish and lazy. Thanks to all, and am proud to say Joseph Howe staff and students are No. 1. Lynn Sandau

Many marketing agencies will hand out samples of new products, including cookies and cereal. As well as food and shopping, Taste of Lawrence offers fun for the whole family. “Our children’s entertainment is quite amped up this year,” noted Scavuzzo. “I could go on and on. Our children’s area has so many activities. There’s so much fun stuff for the kids.” Activities include crafts, facepainting, a Hot Wheels play area, Toronto FC inflatable activity centre and more. “The kids can practice soccer exercises with some of the professional coaching staff from the Toronto FC,” said Scavuzzo. “Which I think is a great opportunity, especially because soccer’s such a huge sport these days.” The young, and young at heart, can also enjoy midway rides and games. This year, the event’s family
stage will not only showcase youth-geared performances, but local youth as well. “Part of our initiative with the family stage was to provide youth from the community in Scarborough and eastern Toronto with the opportunity to perform at a professional venue ... giving them an opportunity to really shine in their neighbourhood,” Scavuzzo explained.

Best praised as ‘passionate advocate’ Thomson Park picnic tradition >>>from page 1 Wynne, selecting her cabinet in February, dropped Best to the party’s back benches. Since then, Best had been on a medical leave from her duties, making no official appearances and posting only a few personal statements. In announcing the resignation, which took immediate effect, Wynne called Best “a passionate advocate for social equality” and said she had made a difference in people’s lives. “I wish Margarett all the very best in this new phase of her life and career.” Wynne added Best’s reelection victory as an MPP in 2011, the first in Ontario by a black woman, was “a truly proud moment for our province.” Best’s statement, in which she also thanked her constituency office staff and the riding’s provincial Liberal association executive, noted she oversaw investments made in the riding at the East Scarborough Boys and Girls Club, the Scarborough
Village Community Centre, the Aboriginal Life Centre and the East Scarborough Storefront. “Best was a well known, visible and engaged representative,” the statement said. Universities and Colleges Minister Brad Duguid, who represents the neighbouring riding of Scarborough Centre, said Best brought qualities she acquired as a community activist and lawyer to her work as an MPP. Voice for youth “Around the cabinet table, she was a very strong voice for youth, equality and social justice. Most of what she did was about serving people who were less fortunate,” he said in an interview. The resignation is one of several recently by highprofile MPPs who served in the McGuinty government, including those of former finance minister Dwight Duncan and the ex-premier himself. Though some have called
for a general election as an alternative to filling five seats, including ScarboroughGuildwood, through byelections, that’s not what most Ontarians want, Duguid said. “People want us to make this minority government work.” Best will be missed, he added, but at the same time, “we’re a party in the process of renewal,” and as people like Best who served in cabinet for years, step out of the government, “I think you’re going to see some very good quality people come in.” People visiting Best’s Facebook page left messages wishing her well and thanking her for her public service. “You were and still are an inspiration to women of colour to not give up on striving for excellence and fulfilling their dreams,” wrote Dione Mason, a fitness and lifestyle coach.

the community was like, so for instance if you go into the log cabin, that cabin represents life in the mid-1800s and then when you go to
Cornell House, you’re going into a turn-of-the-century home, early 1900s,” museum co-ordinator Elaine Savva said. “Some people are interested in artifacts, some people are interested in the stories behind who lived in the homes or just in general what it was like in Scarborough.” Savva noted she’s been celebrating Canada Day at Thomson Park since 1996. “I couldn’t imagine any other way. It always has such a really positive energy,” she said. “It’s just a great time; there are a lot of proud people here in Scarborough.”
Man shot in neck during attempted robbery A 35-year-old man is recovering after being shot in the neck during a robbery attempt yesterday. Police said the victim was approached by a man who demanded the victim’s property in a pathway that runs between Morningside Avenue
and Wishford Drive around 3:30 p.m. “The male did not give up his property. Subsequently the suspect produced what we believe to be a shotgun and shot the male,” said Staff Sgt. Gerry Heaney of 42 Division.
“It seemed to be unprovoked, and it’s very unfortunate.” The victim was taken to a trauma centre in serious but stable condition.

makes return to TTC wPoetry Beginning this week, poetry is returning to the TTC. Poetry in Transit will see the transit commission showcase snippets of 15 poems by leading Canadian poets. The initiative is part of a one-year national campaign to take place in 13 cities starting this week. Plenty of Toronto content will be featured between now and July 2014, including works from current city poet laureate George Elliott Clarke and former Griffin Poetry prize winner Dionne Brand. Each TTC bus will exhibit one poem on its overhead advertising space. Organized by advertising company Pattison Onestop and the League of Canadian Poets, the exhibition is a continuation of similar showcases such as the Poetry on the Way series which ran from 1998 to 2011. For more, visit www.artintransit.ca Steeles Avenue East route extended Beginning in August, the
w
rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT TTC will extend its late night bus service along Steeles Avenue East. The TTC normally runs late night buses along Steeles from Yonge Street to Middlefield Road in Scarborough. That route (353) will soon be extended beyond Middlefield on a trial basis between 1:30 and 5:30 a.m. seven days a week. The extended route will travel east to Markham Road which will create approximately 15 more rides every night in an industrial and commercial area, according to TTC staff, which found enough room in its current schedule to run the late night buses east on Steeles every 30 minutes. At a meeting last week, the TTC board, which includes local city councillor Raymond Cho, agreed to approve a pilot program for the extension, which begins Sunday, Aug. 4.
Thomson hosts wFormer transit party mayoral and provincial candidate Sarah Thomson has turned to advocacy of late, campaigning for more transit funding. This week, Thomson is planning a party in honour of the Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown light rail line, which kicked off major construction recently. One massive tunnel borer machine was launched in early June from the Crosstown’s west launch site at Black Creek Drive and Eglinton Avenue West. On Wednesday, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Thomson, a magazine publisher, and her group the Toronto Transit Alliance are hosting ‘Moving Forward: Celebrating the Eglinton Crosstown Line’ at Ben McNally Books, 366 Bay St. The group has also invited Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig to speak at the event.

Downtown relief subway could get Metrolinx approval next year 15 years estimated for full build RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com A Downtown Relief Line subway project for Toronto could be approved by the Metrolinx board as early as next year, the transit planning agency’s CEO said last Thursday. Though it will likely take 15 years to approve, design and fully build the Downtown Relief Line to ease congestion on the subway system, Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig was confident the $7.4 billion undertaking – which will require funding through dedicated taxes and user fees – will receive Metrolinx’s stamp of approval by the third quarter of 2014. “We’re going to try to keep all the timelines we set out,” said McCuaig after a board meeting Thursday.
“People want to see a schedule, and that we’re meeting that schedule, so our objective is to hit the timelines we set for ourself.” A preliminary planning study needs to be completed which will examine specifics of the project. Coinciding with studies already underway by the TTC and the city, the Metrolinx work will expand the focus beyond Toronto and look at how the line might potentially be integrated regionally with GO Transit. McCuaig said Metrolinx would collaborate on the study with the city and TTC. “We need to get all that work done collaboratively and bring the outcomes to the board, TTC and city for a decision,” said McCuaig. During the public portion of the quarterly meeting,
Metrolinx’s board of directors received a series of updates on the progress of transit projects already under construction in Toronto. Those projects include the Union Pearson Express air rail link, the Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown light rail line and an extensive renovation of Union Station. The board also heard from GO’s president on the regional transit provider’s intention to run trains every 30 minutes on the Lakeshore corridor starting Saturday, June 29, which Gary McNeil called a “paradigm shift”. “Customers won’t have to look at their schedules, they’ll be able to get to a GO station and get their trains,” said McNeil. “It changes how you look at the service by moving toward a higher frequency.”

Development charges on agenda Peiwen
My name is Peiwen and I’m a second year university student. I’ve been delivering the Scarborough Mirror since 2007 with the help of my parents. The process of receiving, assembling and delivering the flyers may seem tedious but the feeling of accomplishment after completing the route makes it all worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoy being a carrier as I can earn some extra cash while getting some good exercise and meeting different people in the neighbourhood. It also is a great way to give back to the local community by getting people informed about the different news and events in the city. In my spare time I like reading, writing, hanging out with friends and swimming. Thank you for choosing me as a carrier of the month!
July kicks off with a monstersize executive committee meeting at Toronto City Hall tomorrow, and top of the agenda will be a debate about hiking development charges on new condominiums. The review is sure to be controversial, because staff are recommending nearly doubling the fees in 2014 on condos. It will be a major hike, but is expected to raise a little more than $2 billion for the infrastructure needs that all those new residents will have.

TRANSFER TAX DEBATE CONTINUES ◗LAND The question of what to do with about the municipal land transfer tax will come up at the Executive Committee but don’t expect it to stay there long. City Manager Joe Pennachetti is suggesting that the committee send his report straight to the budget committee, which will be better able to assess Ford’s promise to cut 10 per cent of the tax before the end of the term. BIKE PROGRAM ON TABLE ◗BIXI
The question of what to do with the financially-troubled BIXI Toronto bike rental service will be on the table too. It will also likely be behind closed doors. Staff have come up with a strategy to keep the program going in the downtown, but the recommendations themselves are confidential.
