McGregor Park Trees help tower renewal project slated to host graffiti summit MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Scarborough Councillor Michael Thompson says he is looking for tips at a forum this Saturday on how to stop graffiti tagging he calls a “blight on our community.” A local ratepayer group has one: Give the taggers some real art to do. The Midland Park Community Association was “reborn” around the issue, the group’s vice president Mark Weiser said last week. “We had a ton of graffiti and the neighbourhood wasn’t happy about it.” Weiser said association members in the mid-Scarborough neighbourhood identified and met one of the prolific taggers, who convinced another to come forward. To the residents’ surprise, Weiser said, the taggers were “honest and caring young men” who saw spraying graffiti tags as something that would keep them away from real trouble. Thompson said he supports the City of Toronto providing “more opportunities for kids to express themselves” and wants area youth to know about them, but the Scarborough Centre councillor sees tags as a serious problem, a message people “aren’t interested in taking care of their community.” A c r o s s To r o n t o t h e c i t y approaches graffiti art, which it says >>>TAGGING, page 3

WORKING TOGETHER: Volunteers helped plant trees at East Scarborough Storefront on Lawrence Avenue near Galloway Road recently as part of the Tower Renewal Project, which aims to beautify and make better use of the land around highrise towers. More photos on page 16.
Building height limit of four storeys sought for Highland Creek Councillor Ron Moeser publicly undercut a planning study he once championed this week in a bid to satisfy local residents who don’t
want Highland Creek Village to lose its current character. The Scarborough East councillor initiated the study two years
ago because the small commercial area centred on Old Kingston and Moorish roads was facing five development applications and needed
a framework to control future growth. It needed growth, planners and some residents said, because the
24-acre mixed-use village area has vacant lots, struggling businesses with no residents on village streets >>>VILLAGE, page 9

Music teacher honoured for contest win Guildwood resident volunteers more than 400 hours a year working with students ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com A Scarborough music teacher, who scored first place in a nation-wide teachers’ competition this summer, was honoured for his win last week. Kevin Hrycay, a teacher at Birch Cliff Heights Public School and Chine Drive Public School, was presented with a certificate and a $2,500 cheque last Thursday for his first-place finish in Canadian Family magazine’s Great Teacher Awards competition. The magazine held an online vote between May 17 and June 30 to select the Top 3 teachers from 13 semi-finalists from across the country. Hrycay came in first with 30,026 votes. The contest was sponsored by Johnson Insurance. ‘ NICE TO BE RECOGNIZED’ “It’s always nice to be recognized and appreciated for what you do,” said Hrycay, noting the cash prize will be used to buy flutes, trumpets and metal stands for his two schools. The schools currently use foldable wire stands that are flimsy and sometimes fall over in class. Birch Cliff Heights principal Tracy Hayes described Hrycay as a “fantastic” teacher. “He’s a very engaging, very dedicated teacher, and the kids love him.” Hrycay, a Guildwood resident,

Tagging, graffiti topic of meeting hosted by councillor >>>from page 1 “aesthetically enhance the surface they cover and the general surroundings,” differently from what it calls “graffiti vandalism,” and last week organized a staff panel to judge one from the other. Thompson is calling residents, staff, and other experts to a “graffiti summit” this Saturday “to help develop a ward based strategy that works for our community” on eliminating tagging while beautifying
neighbourhoods and promoting urban art. The forum will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Commons Lounge of McGregor Park Community Centre on Lawrence Avenue. Thompson acknowledged there are problems with the city’s zero-tolerance approach to graffiti vandalism on private property, saying it’s unfair owners have to keep paying for its removal. The Scarborough-based group
Mural Routes has completed street art projects in Thompson’s ward and Thompson said he wants to see more in local “orphan or barren spaces.” The city says such projects are an effective deterrent to tagging, as does Weiser, suggesting by speaking to taggers and offering them real art projects the city and local school boards could help turn a problem into an asset. Weiser also said members of his

group found it easier to report graffiti to their local councillor’s office than through 311, a city service that “has actually hurt rather than helped” in the war on tags. Because 311 only takes graffiti reports for city property, reporting a number of tags can require many calls to Canada Post, Bell Canada and other owners, Weiser said. That lengthens time needed for removal, he said, while taggers can add more tags before property

Raise fares to improve TTC service

A salute to our newspaper carriers
T
his is International Newspaper Carrier Week.
Around the world, boys and girls, men and women deliver critical community information in a timely fashion, whether it’s news or advertising flyers. We certainly appreciate the dedication of our newspaper carriers at The Scarborough Mirror. Why would someone become a newspaper carrier? It’s a wonderful proving ground for a young person to develop life skills. It’s an excellent opportunity for an older carrier to earn money and feel satisfaction of a job well done while serving the community. Here are six experiences that benefit a carrier: • Responsibility: A newspaper carrier accepts the challenge our view of satisfying their customer every single time they deliver a Carriers deliver newspaper to a doorstep. Being a newspaper carrier means one the news to has a commitment to customer our community service – and learns quickly the importance of reaching the customer’s doorstep with the newspaper each and every time. • Handling money: For many carriers, having a newspaper route means the first time having a bank account. This develops yet another key life skill in a youth. • Small business sense: The better customer service, the more smiles from customers. Miss a delivery and you deal with the complaint. A good carrier generally benefits with more tips from customers too! • Confidence and sense of achievement: Being a carrier means tangible achievement every time a route is delivered. Every thank you from a customer teaches a carrier good work is rewarded. Knowing you deliver your route on time every time gives a carrier confidence and satisfaction of knowing a job inside out and doing it well. • Discipline: Residents wait for their newspaper. Calls for missed deliveries come in mere minutes after the time a customer usually gets their newspaper. The discipline developed through delivering a newspaper carries over into discipline in other life tasks. • Understanding community: Your community newspaper is your window to community life. A carrier brings that life to your door. As a carrier, you get to know the people on the route – friends and neighbours – and that brings a neighbourhood community a little closer together. So being a newspaper carrier is much more than simply taking a wagon through streets to put pieces of paper on the doorstep. It’s ensuring a product that adds value to life in the community gets to the people of the community. We salute our newspaper carriers and wish them much sunshine as they deliver their newspapers and flyers this week. Toronto Community News is a division of Metroland Media Group Ltd.

To the editor: The TTC is essential to the riders to earn their salaries, as much as it is to ensure their business operations remain active. That’s what makes it essential. Apple recently sold 40 million iPods within three days at $700 each and the TTC board is struggling with a five cent increase in TTC fares. Ridiculous. Instead of spending of money catering to the entertainment of riders, such as Internet access and advising how late the next train will be, the TTC’s mandate is to provide an on-time service at a reasonable cost with suitable planning for future growth. Riders do not need to be enticed to ride the TTC; it’s essential they ride it. Provide the people with the service they need and they’ll be willing to pay for it. I suggest increasing fares by $1. It would not be unreasonable and would pay for the service riders need and expect. Fred Worsley
Meanwhile, back at the NHL lockout ... E verybody keeps asking me to write about the National Hockey League player lockout. I’m more than happy to oblige. But before I do, being a Canadian, I have to first take off my Canada hat. Born and bred here, hockey is in my DNA. To be truly objective on the subject, the beloved chapeau has got to go. So, au revoir Canada hat. I have to remove my NHL hat, too, of course. It wouldn’t look too good if somebody saw me writing about the NHL lockout on a laptop in the local coffee shop sporting my trusty NHL hat, now would it? So, buh-bye NHL hat. Ditto for my NHL Players’ Association hat, needless to say. I’m doffing it for the same obvious reasons. My much cherished Toronto Maple Leaf hat has got to come off as well, it
but seriously
jamie wayne
saddens me to say. Sigh. The sighing is because we go way back. So far back, it’s got Dickie Duff’s autograph on it. I hate to part with that even for a few moments. But there are sacrifices one has to make for the sake of credibility, so off it comes, too. Adios Leaf hat. And finally, much as I hate to, I also have to take off my favourite hat of all, my Dickie Duff hat. Ironically, it’s got Davy Keon’s autograph on it. It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it some time. Anyhow, that’s it for hats. I’ve got a job to do. I’m glad to remove it, too. I’m
delighted to have them all off. I didn’t realize I wore so many hats. I feel like I just lost 20 pounds. And I didn’t even have to call Jenny. I saved a small fortune. Now where was I? Oh yeah, the much requested update on the NHL lockout. With all the hats I wear that could potentially compromise my position now officially off, it’s time to put on the appropriate hat for the occasion. No, not my journalistic hat. I was referring to my hat with the earplugs and earflaps over them. I couldn’t write about the lockout properly without that hat on. There’s only so much you can take. So here’s where they stand. After a long break between talks, the owners and players finally got back to the bargaining table to discuss issues not deemed critical to the process, and NHL commissioner Gary
Bettman, who always plays his cards close to his vest, will say, “At least we’re talking, that’s a good sign.” Then those talks will inevitably break off and a few days after they do, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, who plays his cards even closer to his vest, will say, “Just because we’re not talking that’s not necessarily a bad sign.” Then the league will likely threaten to cancel another two weeks of regular season games. The sports media will speculate that the whole season could go down the tubes. And the fans won’t live happily ever after. Film at 11. Tweeting, texting and YouTube – 24/7.

MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com It’s oddly shaped, crossed by water and sewer pipes, and contaminated, but a City of Toronto agency wants to clean up its 20-acre piece of the Birch Cliff Quarry Lands and sell it for development. Build Toronto’s initial plan for the property it calls 411 Victoria Park Ave. didn’t disappoint most neighbours attending a meeting this week, though some seemed dismayed the agency can’t stop a private developer from erecting highrises on parcels to the east. Old quarry pits and a former dump have made the Quarry Lands, land mostly vacant east of Victoria Park and north of Gerrard Street East, a contentious area for decades. Thanks to a 1968 decision, Conservatory Group, a builder with 18 acres at Gerrard and Clonmore Drive, has permission to build 1,455 condominium units there. Prakash David, a Build vicepresident, said the agency will sell about half its land for retail use and divide the rest between a 4.5-acre park and spaces for 200 or fewer units of lowrise housing. That’s progress, Mark Brender, president of the Concerned Citizens
of Quarry Lands Development, told about 100 residents and business owners last Wednesday at Malvern Collegiate Institute. It wasn’t long ago, he said, that TEDCO and its successor agency Build were frustrating residents with proposals for highrises on the city land. At a 2010 rally, Brender said, “it felt like we were fighting on two fronts. The kinds of things that were being talked about at that time (by Build Toronto) were much different.” Though required to make a profit from the city’s surplus properties, the arms-length agency also cares about “city building” and environmental stewardship, David said at the meeting. He said the retail area and lowrise housing – what form it takes hasn’t been decided – will reflect the surrounding neighbourhood. The land comes with challenges and restrictions, including a trunk water main that can’t be removed or built upon, active sewer lines and a rail corridor along its northern edge that requires a setback and a crash berm to stop any derailing train. Then there are two large backfilled pits, which boreholes show hold contaminated material down to the bedrock in places, David said.
Musgrave Street and Blantyre Avenue would be extended into the property, while other new roads through that site may include links to the Conservatory Group land. When residents asked if Build could somehow stop Conservatory Group from building the towers, Prakash – involved in unsuccessful negotiations last year that would have seen the developer’s parcels swapped for other city lands – said Build believes it has exhausted its efforts. golf range Mark Brender, president of the Concerned Citizens of Quarry Lands Development, speaks during a public meeting at Malvern Collegiate regarding development plans for the southwest Scarborough site.
“There’s copper, there’s lead, there’s arsenic,” he said. “It sounds horrible and it is, in a sense,” but the city is willing to invest in removing some materials “in a safe, contained way” while others would be capped with clean fill, David said. An informal park would be “replicated” into a T-shaped area more people could use, and one that would be accessible from Gerrard.
Kim Holman, co-owner of the Beach Fairway Golf Range she has run with husband Brian Jacobsen over 14 years on eight of the Build Toronto acres, said she foresees Build’s development helping Conservatory Group by making the developer’s land more valuable. “I can’t control that,” David said to her, maintaining Build is concentrating on developing what it can. Holman said it was obvious she didn’t support Build’s plan, which required the range to shut down this month. “We’re not choosing to leave,” she said. But the Beach resident said she attended the meeting to thank

local people for their support. The range held a last-day celebration on Thanksgiving Monday as a way to thank the community and raise funds for Variety Village. Brender said his grassroots group remains as opposed to the Conservatory Group highrises as ever, and argued what happens on the western portion of the Quarry Lands “can give us leverage” over what happens on the east. The community has worked hard, he said, “to build up a pattern of what we can say the community is.” Scarborough Southwest Councillor Gary Crawford said he was encouraged that Build’s concept, though very preliminary, seems to meet many concerns residents had about neighbourhood intensification and density. As for the towers, Crawford said the city might be able to delay them, but can’t stop them from being built. Build said it expects to submit an application in November for zoning and Official Plan amendments on its site, and present more detailed plans to the community at a meeting in early 2013.

‘Village feel’ valued by residents >>>from page 1 to support them and automotive businesses neighbours would like moved out. But Moeser, who had appeared neutral on an arrangement of heights and densities before city planners presented it in April, sent the plan back for revisions after most people at a community meeting opposed it. The study team lowered maximum development heights nearly everywhere and brought this “compromise” to residents at Cardinal Leger Catholic School on Tuesday, but Moeser had another plan to show which allowed even less. “It’s a tough decision,” he said, announcing a show of hands would decide which plan residents want. “There’s certainly benefits on both sides.” Later, after hearing shouts of “four storeys max,” Moeser framed the question this way, though his solution - put together by a working group for the study in May - had called for buildings six to eight storeys in single parcels on Kingston Road at Military Trail and at Lawson Road. Most of the 80 or so residents still in the room agreed with the four-storey maximum. Only 10 put up a hand for the planners’ version. “I think the ‘four storeys’ have it,” Moeser said. Earlier, Graig Uens, a community planner, pleaded with residents to vote not just for building heights but to consider benefits the study plan would bring, things people said they wanted such as more parking, new planters, signs and light standards, and the money to turn what is now an unnamed park at Moorish and Old Kingston into a village green.“That’s really the goal of this study,” Uens said, “not to build buildings as tall as we can.” The village is officially a mixed use area, though one in which zoning prohibits residences. Keeping it all to three or four storeys would be hard to defend at Ontario Municipal Board, where developers could take appeals, Uens said.
Since the study began, a three-storey condominium was approved on a vacant lot at Old Kingston and Moorish, and in June the OMB approved 30 stacked townhouses on another property. Uens said the planners had listened in April to the residents’ complaints about maximum heights - which ranged up to 11 storeys on one corner parcel on Kingston Road. The study had since made the maximum heights anywhere eight storeys, it had lowered proposed heights along Old Kingston Road, the village main street, to three storeys, pared eight storey maximums in the “south village” area to six and six-storey buildings to four. Uens said it was hard to estimate resulting unit numbers, but calculated about 800 units and perhaps 1,600 people, not much below his estimate for the April plan of 890 units and 1,700 people. If the village were treated like most mixeduse areas in the city, residents were told, heights based on the street rights of way would be six storeys on Old Kingston, six or seven on Moorish and eight storeys elsewhere. Some, however, still accused the study team of applying “city standards” to Scarborough. Dave Adamson said it was the “village concept” that drew him to the area a quarter century ago and after allowing buildings of eight storeys the village is going “to be inundated with traffic and people.” Nothing should be over four storeys, he said, adding village businesses who want more residents there “should be thinking of more ways to promote themselves.” Moeser said the planners “did their best to sell” their study proposal but it’s his job to listen to the community. “I had to call the (city’s) head planner in order to get that (working group) concept up on the screen,” he added. Moeser asked for Scarborough Community Council to present the study - and presumably, the new variations - at a night meeting on Nov. 6 so that more residents can attend. – Mike Adler
Woman hit by school bus A 73-year-old woman is recovering after being hit by a school bus in Scarborough yesterday.

City backs off plans to put zoo up for sale DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com The Toronto Zoo is off the market. Toronto Council voted last Thursday to cancel a request for expressions of interest that the city had posted earlier in
the week, offering up the zoo for sale or possibly lease. Council had approved selling off the asset as part of its core services review in 2011. But councillors had a change of heart – in part due to objections from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
(TRCA), which owns the land where the zoo is located. TRCA lease The TRCA made it clear that a private sector owner wouldn’t enjoy the same favourable lease arrangement.
Mayor Rob Ford was one of two council members who voted to keep the zoo on the market, saying, “I think we should keep our doors open, look what we can get.” But the most passionate defense of keeping the zoo in public hands came from one
of Ford’s staunchest allies: Giorgio Mammoliti. He said that selling the zoo could cause an international incident, jeopardizing China’s decision to send two pandas to Toronto. “If this council wants to
get an immediate notice from the Chinese government that the pandas will not be coming, then go ahead and proceed with what you’re doing,” he said. “We will not get the pandas – they will cancel them.”
Trio charged in string of cellphone, cash robberies Three youths are facing charges in connection with a series of cellphone and cash robberies in the Finch Avenue and Sandhurst Circle area. Police said that the robberies happened between Sept. 8 and Oct. 4 in the hours following the end of school. Police made the arrests on Oct. 4. The suspects, each facing 12 to 13 robbery counts, can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Council looks bad when it misbehaves
I
t’s not quite fair to say that Toronto Council utterly disgraced itself last week as it dealt with the devastating report by Toronto Ombudsman Fiona Crean on the city’s flawed and hamstrung public appointments process. At the same time, if this council were your parents, you would have done everything possible to avoid bringing your fiance home for Thanksgiving dinner this year. It’s almost sad to bring it up again, in the same way that families like city council don’t a week later dig at the way the turkeyand-scotch grudge match between Dad and Uncle Lothar ruined the holiday for the rest of the family. So yes – the entire family that makes up Toronto Council did not disgrace itself. But faced with a report that sharply critiqued both the mayor’s office and some councillors who sit on the civic appointments committee, a small but significant rump of the ruling party smeared
THE CITY
david nickle
muck over the entire institution. Crean’s report said that the mayor’s office had interfered in the 2011 civic appointments process to the point that city staff were unable to do a fair job. It found that the mayor’s staff had attempted to force staff to boycott a newspaper not in the mayor’s favour, and to remove any mention of diversity from city advertisements. The report said that in one case, a potential appointee to a board had a conflict of interest, and when staff attempted to deal with it, an unnamed councillor, since identified as York West’s Giorgio Mammoliti, threatened staff members in a closeddoor meeting. The response from Mammoliti and some
others was classic Thanksgiving-dinner attack strategy. Mammoliti began the debate by questioning Crean’s political neutrality. When this provoked an overly-angry response from Parkdale-High Park Councillor Gord Perks, which Perks later apologized for, Mammoliti huffed about the sorts of violent acts he might perform on his out-of-line colleague. Mammoliti explained that it wasn’t so much Crean’s neutrality as that of the rest of city staff that was the problem, then came back and accused the ombudsman of being deliberately provocative. The one thing we can be thankful for, looking back at this disgraceful display of civic behaviour, is that there’s no hard liquor available in Toronto Council chambers. n David Nickle is the Mirror’s City Hall columnist.

Carrier Appreciation Week
Newspaper carrier recognized for her dedication CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com For the last 22 years, Malti Gupta has braved wind, snow, sleet and rain to deliver newspapers for Toronto Community News (TCN) every week to as many as 1,000 of her neighbours – and no matter the weather, she always does so with an infectious smile on her face. “If we had 500 of her, we would be 500 times better. She’s just one of those really great carriers that we wish we had more of,” said Donna Umpleby, a circulation manager with TCN, which publishes nine community newspapers across Toronto. “She’s just a great lady with a great spirit and great personality. Malti’s always positive. She’s a perfect example of what a carrier should be.” As TCN’s longest standing carrier, Gupta is being recognized for her dedication during this week’s International Newspaper Carrier Week.
The annual appreciation week honours the hundreds of thousands of men and women like Gupta who make such an important contribution to the industry. “Our carriers really are the lifeblood of what we do here at Toronto Community News,” said TCN’s Director of Circulation Mike Banville, noting TCN’s workforce of more than 3,000 carriers aged 10 to 90 deliver more than a million papers weekly to the communities of Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Bloor West Village, Parkdale-Liberty Village, York, East York, Beach-Riverdale, and City Centre. “They are so, so important to what we do.” For Gupta, who began carrying for The Scarborough Mirror on Feb. 6, 1990, the job has been one that was born of convenience and has grown into a passion over the years. “When I started, I wasn’t getting the paper. All of my neighbours were, but I wasn’t,” she said.
On our cover Scarborough Mirror carrier Gordon Lidgold has also been honoured as one of Toronto Community News’ top carriers. He has been with TCN for seven years and has an unblemished delivStaff photo/DAN PEARCE ery record.
When she called TCN’s offices to explain her conundrum, one of The Mirror’s then-managers inquired as to whether or not Gupta would like to take on the problem route herself – and thus guarantee herself delivery every week. Gupta, who was running a daycare out of her Scarborough home at the time, readily agreed. And the rest, as they say, is history. Gupta, who came to Canada from India in 1970, began by delivering The Mirror 22 years ago to just the houses on her street, but as time went on and she garnered a reputation for reliability, her route steadily grew. At her peak, she was delivering more than 1,000 newspapers two times a week. “Meeting people in my community has been the best part of the job for me. Plus, it’s the best exercise – I’ve maintained my weight,” she said, laughing. Now a grandmother of seven, Gupta has trimmed her four-hour route down to 615 houses. But still, Gupta loves her job and doesn’t plan to retire her route until she moves from Scarborough – and so far, she and her husband of 47 years have no plans to relocate. “I love walking and I love meeting people, and that’s what this job is all about,” she said simply. Also being recognized by TCN this week for their long-standing service are carriers Margaret McFarlane and Selvaratnam Jesuthasan, who have both served as carriers for 19 years. Gordon Lidgold (on our front page) has been nominated as an outstanding carrier. He is an extremely dedicated carrier with

seven year’s service and boasts an unblemished delivery record. Gordon can be called upon to help substitute when needed, and the home owners on his route praise and appreciate his dedication.

Campaign launch: What would you do with 32? Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance raises awareness of regional transit issues RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com What would you do with an extra 32? That’s the question advocacy group the Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance is asking residents beginning today with the launch of a media campaign in favour of better regional transit. The group is calling on commuters to weigh in on what they’d do with an extra 32 minutes each day, the time it says would be saved on commuting if the province’s $50-billion Big Move transportation plan for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) is completed. Not completing the Big Move, the group argues, would push the average commute time from 77 to 109 minutes – a loss of 32 minutes – and continue to cost the regional economy billions of dollars in lost productivity. “Our message to the people of the GTHA is have your say in how you would benefit from moving across the region more easily,” said CivicAction’s CEO Mitzie Hunter at a media event in downtown Toronto
Spring). The fall campaign is the first phase of CivicAction’s strategy to bring more awareness for transit. Tory said the next step would be to convince residents of the increased costs they’ll have to shell out to complete the Big Move. “We think it’s better to establish the need first that there is a congestion crisis,” he said after the press conference. “Then we can move to the question of what we are willing to do to make sure new transit gets built.” He said the group would continue to pursue a regional focus and avoid advocating on what mode of transit is best. “We’re not going to get involved in the subway versus LRT argument,” said Tory. “We’re more interested in getting people to face up to the issues and decide on priorities and how to pay for them. If we can achieve that, it would be a constructive use of our time.” Hunter said she expects phase two of the campaign will launch sometime in the winter. For more information, visit www. your32.com
“We want residents of the region to imagine what it would be like with a better transportation system,” said Hunter, who was accompanied by CivicAction chair John Tory and many of the group’s specially appointed regional transit “champions” – individuals chosen by CivicAction to advocate for better transit.

Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance members John Tory and Mitzie Hunter hold signs promoting the group’s new media campaign yesterday morning. The group is asking residents of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) what they would do with an extra 32 minutes per day if better transit links are built within the region.
promoting the campaign. “Tell us, what would you do with 32 extra minutes per day?” Hunter said the province needs to
be held accountable by the public to fully implement the Big Move, of which only 20 per cent has been funded.
To promote the campaign, CivicAction has created a website which invites individuals to share how they would benefit from a shorter commute. The group has also produced a special video clip which it screened at Wednesday morning’s press conference, and asked Twitter users how they would make use of the 32 extra minutes. • “I would spend more time with my family and volunteer in my community,” tweeted @henrjose (Joe Henry). • “With an extra 32 mins a day I’d like to say that I’d do housework (but it’s more likely I’d walk my dog longer),” wrote @rspring (Rebecca

Bedtime Stories full of memorable performances D
eclarations of love have never come in such an odd and hilarious package as in Bedtime Stories by Norm Foster, the first show of the season by the Scarborough Players. A play that will have you laughing from the beginning to the end, this show tells the story of 15 people whose lives are woven together in the most bizarre circumstances, and portrays what happens to each of them on the same night. The commonality, besides it all happening on one night in different locations, is that every scene is in a bedroom. You will be amazed at how much can go on inside a bedroom besides sleep-
ing. This show is funny from the opening scene where shock DJ Eddie ‘Nighthawk’ Nichols (Cary West) has given $5,000 to a couple to be intimate on live radio from a hotel room. When middle-aged couple Lou and Betsy Ballantyne (John Pirker, Deborah Ann Jarvis), show up in their slippers and robes, it’s obvious this couple have another reason for doing this stunt. Turns out they’re doing it for the love of their daughter, Melody (Tara Smylie), to pay for her college tuition. During the minutes before they’re to go live-to-air, the DJ becomes endeared to the couple and having an attack of conscious, decides to call it off. He’s also inspired by their love and decides to try to get his wife Laura (Stephanie Haines) back, who is
moving out of their home as they speak. The Ballantyne’s decide to make use of the room anyway, but unfortunately the microphone attached to the headboard is left on and their tryst is broadcast live, becoming the backdrop to the five other scenes that follow in this show. Each scene helps to establish future scenes, and while each has its own focus, is connected to the other. For example, in the next scene we meet a dying Derek (Garth Gibson) who is visited by an old high school crush Susan (Meg Gibson), and they re-live their one and only date to the Tommy Quick (Tommy Boston) concert, and talk about her unhappy marriage to her husband Steve, both of whom we meet in later scenes.

This show is full of funny and endearing characters, like Yolanda (Jean Graham) the cab driver who due to a head injury gets lost constantly, and the performances are believable and impeccably played. There are so many memorable moments, but one of the funniest scenes depicts Sandy (Mandy May Cheetham), an exotic dancer with no rhythm, having a meeting with her boss Charlie (Drew Smylie) who tells her she has no future in the profession. Laura’s mini meltdown about men and their shortcomings is amazingly played by Haines, as is the dual roles played by Boston who depicts both the aging rocker Tommy Quick and Nick, the thief with a conscience. West also plays dual roles of the DJ and Davey, the counterpart

thief to Nick, showing his versatility and ability to be funny in different roles. The opening scene between the Ballantyne’s, played amazingly by Pirker and Jarvis, is flawless in their timing and delivery perfectly sets the stage for what to expect throughout the rest of the show; Comedy, witty dialogue and great performances. Definitely not for kids, this show does have adult language and innuendoes, but it’s never raunchy or explicit in any way and evokes anything but sheer laughter.

SCARBOROUGH MIRROR | Thursday, October 11, 2012 |

Residents input on transit funding sought DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto’s executive committee has recommended sending staff out to ask Toronto residents just how they’d be willing to pay for potentially billions of dollars of public transit improvements. But for Mayor Rob Ford, it will take a big answer in the affirmative to convince him to support any revenue generating tools beyond the provincial and federal governments, and the private sector. “The people of this city are taxed to death and they don’t want new taxes,” said Ford as the committee was getting ready to vote on the proposed public consultation process Tuesday. “I’m not going to support anything unless the taxpayers of Toronto come out and say they want a new tax – and I don’t think they will – but that’s why we’re doing a consultation.” The consultation will be going forward prior to a final report this spring, spelling out the sorts of taxes, fees and tolls that the city might impose to improve public transit. Toronto Council asked for this process after it rejected Ford’s plan to build a subway along Sheppard Avenue and ask the provincial government to bury the entire run of the new Eglinton LRT. Council rejected Ford’s idea that a public-private partnership was the best way to fund transit expansion like subways, and asked staff to come up with a way to find other ways that Toronto could go it alone funding major transit expansion. TTC Chair Karen Stintz and vice-chair Glenn De Baeremaeker later came forward with a plan for other transit expansion, dubbed OneCity, which council rejected in favour of waiting for this report. At the executive committee meeting, Stintz kicked off debate, arguing the city needed to come up with a madein-Toronto funding solution. She said crucial pieces of transit infrastructure in Toronto, such as the Downtown Relief Line, would become lost in any regional plan that included priorities for transit expansion outside Toronto. “We would be naïve if we thought (GTA municipalities) wanted to contribute to our downtown relief line,” she said. “I want to underscore... we cannot rely on the province to fund our transit needs. We’ve been waiting for too long.” The committee endorsed the plan for consultation on a range of funding mechanisms, but, against the advice of both Stintz and City Manager Joe Pennachetti, decided to include public-private partnerships in the advice they sought. Budget chief Mike Del Grande said it was necessary to let taxpayers know exactly what projects any new taxes would pay for, but he said in the current model it was difficult to predict. “People want to know specifically what is the order of the projects that are contemplated.”

City Hall
Consultations on plastic bag ban to be held by city DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto Council has approved a plan to consult with retailers, the plastics industry and the general public before final approval of a bylaw banning single-use plastic bags from Toronto retailers. But the chair of the city’s public works and infrastructure committee Denzil Minnan-Wong said the consultation won’t be much more than “a stage production.” “The original report was adopted by council in the summertime,” said Minnan-Wong. “That created the ban. So if we heard from all the deputants and all of them said we don’t want the ban, we couldn’t then change the bylaw. Our lawyers are telling us, you can’t change the bylaw.” Minnan-Wong made the comments two days after he and fellow councillor Peter Milczyn attempted to convince council to re-open the decision they’d made in July, to ban all plastic bags. Council had done so by supporting an amendment by Willowdale Councillor David Shiner, on the same matter that Mayor Rob Ford had held down to end the five cent fee the city requires retailers to charge for each plastic bag.
RRIER WEEK INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPER CA “I take great pride in congratulating our newspaper delivery force on a job well done during this, International Newspaper Carrier Week.
Ford had opposed that fee since it was put in place by former Mayor David Miller’s council. He also opposed the ban, and at the council meeting tried and failed to muster the twothirds vote of council he needed to rescind the ban.
Distribution of news and information is the backbone of Toronto Community News services and the dedication of our carriers, young and old, is truly appreciated.
impossible to amend Now, council has only to vote on the specifics of the bylaw, which staff have yet to draft. Under council’s procedures, it’s impossible to amend that bylaw significantly. But council could, in theory, refuse to support it. “That certainly is an option and we’ll have to see what happens,” said Minnan-Wong. Shiner, meanwhile, insisted that the consultation is necessary to protect the city against a legal challenge – and he believed it would be possible to make small changes to the bylaw based on feedback from stakeholders. “Council has made a decision that it no longer wants plastic bags, but there’s a question of phase in, there’s a question of the types of bags you do allow,” he said. “You can do an awful lot.” Consultations will happen between now and Nov. 27, when council will consider the new bylaw.
