Pet bylaw consultation meeting in Scarborough How many cats should Torontonians be allowed to have at home? What is the proper way to tie up a dog in a backyard? Answers to these questions or others may depend on what people have told Toronto Animal Services during a public consultation on the city’s animals bylaw, which is under review. The last consultation session is at Scarborough Civic Centre next Tuesday, Oct. 30, from 6 to 9 p.m. What is said will be in a report to city councillors who may change the bylaw. The process may also help people understand what is legal or illegal in Toronto when it comes to pets. People can’t, for example, legally tie up a dog on the public sidewalk outside a store in the city, no matter how common a sight this is. The city enforces this rule by responding to complaints, said Fiona Venedam, an animal services supervisor who pointed out some people tether their dogs outside shops for extended periods. Venedam said the city may clarify the bylaw to specify how a dog should be tethered on private property, perhaps by requiring a pulley system to give the pet more freedom of movement. Toronto Animal Services has been asked to scrap the maximum number of cats per household, she said. Animal services may also shorten the “cat retention period,” the number of days a cat stays in the pound waiting for its owner to pick it up, from five days to the legal minimum of three. Venedam will respond to questions about the review at fvenedam@ toronto.ca

‘Exemplary’ rating for Rouge Valley Health System MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com

Rouge Valley Health System has earned an exemplary standing, the highest possible rating, from a national non-profit assessor. Accreditation Canada inspected the hospital’s facilities last month, including its Centenary campus in Scarborough. The organization said RVHS met 98.2 per cent of its 2,025 standards, which include practices that lower risks to patient safety. During the hospital’s last assessment in 2009, it met 96.4 per cent of standards. “While this is a fantastic result and evidence of our shared commitment to patient and staff safety, we know that there is always room for improvement. We will continue to relentlessly focus on achieving errorfree service delivery,” RVHS CEO Rik Ganderton said in a release. “Accredited with exemplary standing” is the highest of three accredited levels a healthcare organization can receive. Accreditation Canada says an “exemplary” hospital “attains the highest level of performance, achieving excellence in meeting the requirements of the accreditation program.” To improve its assessment results, the hospital had teams from each program lead self-assessments to measure performance against the assessor’s standards, and plans were put in place to educate everyone at RVHS about the standards and to address performance gaps, the hospital said. Toronto East General Hospital also received exemplary standing this year. The Scarborough Hospital begins the assessment process next week.

Mathletics event set for civic centre Hundreds of “mathletes” from grades three to eight will gather for Scarborough’s annual Mathletics this Saturday at the Scarborough Civic Centre. Organizers with the Professional Engineers Ontario Scarborough Chapter describe the two-level math

skills competition as “a learning tool for children rather than a rat race,” and say it will demonstrate the use of math in everyday life. More information and sample questions are available at www.scarborough.peo.on.ca/MATHLETICS/ mathletics.html

A Toronto police officer surveys the scene of a fatal single-car accident on McNicoll Avenue west of Birchmount Road Sunday morning. The passenger in the vehicle was killed after the high-speed crash through the backyards of Hawkshead Crescent homes in the early hours of the day.

Murder victim went to location for ‘illicit’ purpose: police ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com The man murdered at a Scarborough commercial building last week went there for a pre-arranged meeting that was for an “illicit” purpose, police say. Julian Richard Lee, 31, died of blunt force trauma, an autopsy revealed. Police said Lee was with a female friend when he pulled up to 1970 Ellesmere Rd., Unit 2 in a white Mercedes SUV around 1 p.m. Oct. 17. The unit had been vacant for several months. “When Mr. Lee arrived, a red SUV was parked near the bay door of the premises,” Det. Mike Carbone told reporters during a news conference at police headquarters Tuesday. “An unknown male met Mr. Lee and they both walked into the unit using a rear service door.” There were two other male suspects already in the unit. A short time later, two suspects left the building. One got into the red SUV and drove off while the other came up to Lee’s friend and directed her into the unit where she and Lee were bound. “After a short period of time, an individual who is associated with the premises attended and located Mr.

Lee and his friend,” Carbone said. Police were called at 3:02 p.m. Two suspects fled in Lee’s white SUV, which was found just before 9 p.m. in the parking lot of the Bayview Village Shopping Centre at Bayview and Sheppard avenues. The vehicle underwent a forensic examination.

Lee was pronounced dead at the scene. His friend wasn’t harmed and is co-operating with police. “My opinion is that she was never intended to be harmed,” Carbone said. “I can say that Mr. Lee was the intended target and that this woman who was with him, apart from being with Mr. Lee, had really nothing to do with it.” Police released security camera video and still images of the red SUV. Its driver is black with a light complexion, 30 to 35 years old with a skinny build. A second suspect is black, 170 to 190 pounds and 5’10” tall and wore a black baseball cap and a dark shirt. The third suspect is 35 to 40 years

Where is all the affordable space in our community?

oronto’s neighbourhoods must be places where residents have opportunities to come together to learn, volunteer and play. This month’s “A Closer Look” feature delves into the issues of affordable community space in the city and the challenges community groups have in gaining access. We looked at both a city-wide experience and assessed the situation in Scarborough, looking at the issue from the standpoint of not only specific user groups, but also those who our view rent out their facilities for community use. Non-profit groups At the root of this challenge is money – or lack of it. Earlier this year, the cash- need access to strapped City of Toronto, rental spaces facing an outcry from local sports organizations, ultimately waived a permit fee hike for the use of city fields that would have added $1.5 million to the city’s coffers, but also would have threatened those organizations’ survival. According to a report from the Wellesley Institute, titled ‘Exercising Good Policy: Increasing Access to Recreation in Toronto’s 2013 Budget’ increasing access to recreational facilities is a smart investment, one that pays off with improved health of the populace. We agree the City of Toronto has a role to play in ensuring affordable access to community space for artistic and recreation groups. But perhaps there’s more to achieving this than by waiving fees. There are facilities in the city (places of worship come to mind) whose operators are looking for user groups as well. As a representative from a church in Weston noted, about the only challenge with being a landlord is getting the word out that space in the facility is available for rent. Would it make sense, then, for the city to have a centralized area online where not-for-profit facilities and potential user groups can be matched up? There is also reason for optimism. One of the recommendations in the Wellesley report calls for stable funding for youth outreach workers programs in order to enable positive health outcomes for our young people. Earlier this month, the province announced funding for 35 new youth outreach workers, with 20 of those spots earmarked for Toronto. While a provincial funding announcement from a minority government is not quite the definition of ‘stable’, that announcement, which took place at the Jane Street Hub in York, is a start and is recognition of the need for those kinds of investments in our communities.

To the editor: Re: Rally for Clean Trains, insidetoronto.com I’m wondering how many of these people have wood-burning fireplaces or stoves and light those stinking, smoky things. According to Toronto Public Health and the Lung Association, the smoke from fireplaces and stoves is dangerous to people’s health, especially children, seniors and people with asthma, heart disease or other lung problems. People can’t smoke in cars with children or near a playground, but children can breathe this stinking smoke at bus stops or on Halloween walking the streets. I go out every night with my dog for a walk and the smoke from fireplaces is awful some nights. According to the Lung Association, it can “trigger asthma attacks and premature death in people with heart and lung disease.” People with these things are only supposed to burn clean, dry wood – not painted or heated wood, wood by-products, garbage or plastics, but how do we know what is being burned? People out for a walk, waiting for a bus, children playing in the streets and out for Halloween are forced to breathe this stinking smoke. Multiply the number of wood-burning stoves and fireplaces on your street with all of them in Toronto and look what is going into the air. Demand clean trains if you want, but if you have one of these stinking fireplaces or stoves and light them, clean up your own act first. Do you ever clean your chimney? They pollute indoor air, too, so if you have one you are breathing in dangerous fumes. If you don’t believe me write public health or the Lung Association for information and watch where you take your kids on Halloween. Patricia Smith

massive investments or complicated agreements with other levels of government,” reads the report, entitled Exercising Good Policy: Increasing Access to Recreation in Toronto’s 2013 Budget. “One of these opportunities is quite simple: increase access to recreational services for Torontonians.” Coming as it does in the wake of yet another violence plagued summer in Toronto, the report and its recommendations are reminiscent of reaction to Toronto’s Summer of the Gun in 2005, when funding for community programming rolled in as a means to stop youth violence. One of the results of that influx was the Community Hub initiative in some of Toronto’s most underserved suburban neighbourhoods, where a lack of community space was compounding the challenges of social isolation and poverty faced by many residents. As part of their ongoing Building Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy – and in partnership with the province, key agency partners, and private funders – United Way Toronto has developed eight community hubs in priority neighbourhoods across the city, funding $1 million toward the capital costs of each hub, as well as contributing $150,000 annually toward each’s operating costs. “In looking at developing the Building Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy and hubs in particular, was the fact

that, yes, space is a big challenge all over the city, particularly in suburbs,” said Lorraine Duff, United Way Toronto’s director of programming. “So we decided to ensure that some of this space was available for community agencies to use.” Seven of the planned eight hubs will be fully open and operational as of next month, Duff added, noting the hubs in Mid-Scarborough, Crescent Town, Flemingdon ParkVictoria Village, Weston-Mt. Dennis, and Rexdale are currently open, while those in Dorset Park and the Bathurst/ Finch area are set to open by beginning of November. Duff said so far the community spaces within those hubs – including community kitchens, meeting rooms, and in the case of the Rexdale Community Hub, a gym – are always well used and in demand, especially by the kids. The EBA was just one of the community groups impacted by the TDSB’s decision to reclassify its subsidy recipients earlier this year – meaning an “unplanned for and exorbitant” fee hike they say will nearly quadruple their permit fees. While the TDSB has granted the EBA and other groups impacted by the subsidy recategorization a deferral on the fee hike from its original September implementation date until Jan. 1, the EBA’s DaSilva said the league has no choice but to raise fees in January.

For Ken Daniel, higher gym permit fees at public schools are part of society making the wrong choice for our children. We spend on courts and jails to fix kids who are “broken,” said Daniel, who runs the Making Hoops Basketball program in Malvern. Why not spend more instead on sports, “the great equalizer” that helps children of all backgrounds work together and aspire to greater things, he asked this week. “You pay now or you pay later.” Making Hoops has made a difference Alisha Tatham, member of the 2012 Canadian Olympic Women’s Basketball team, is a former player - but planned fee increases will affect young people’s lives, Daniel said. How much money will the board make, he added, when groups like his can no longer afford to play in school gyms? Sam Moncada, president of the Scarborough Basketball Association, said he thinks the reclassification his group was given this fall, one that would cost the SBA $100,000 a year more to book gym space for 2,500 children, is proof that, “if you’re big enough and you’ve done everything properly along the way, you’re penalized.” fairness question Objections from Moncada and others convinced the Toronto District School Board not to implement new fees until the end of the year, and to reconsider its options. He is encouraging parents to lobby local trustees. It doesn’t seem fair to Moncada, whose group counts Cory Joseph of the San Antonio Spurs among its alumni, that children in North Toronto and Rosedale are charged the same fees as those in less-prosperous parts of Scarborough. “Some organizations have made a lot of money in the past. We’re flat broke. We’re a non-profit and we really run it that way,” he said. Trustee Jerry Chadwick, whose Ward 22 covers East Scarborough is sympathetic to the SBA. “They subsidize a lot of needy kids. We don’t want that to be lost,” said Chadwick. But Chadwick said adopting the new fee structure still leaves the board an $8-million shortfall, money coming out of the classroom, and the board cannot increase its deficit. Fees were frozen because the board, despite passing the new structure in February didn’t notify groups until late August, said Chadwick, adding trustees have asked for a report on why this happened. Ontario’s government helps to subsidize fees, but only for a short list of groups named in a 2006 letter from the education ministry, scouts, guides and air cadets among them, said Sam Sotiropoulos, trustee for the Agincourt area. Sotiropoulos favours taking this $3 million a year and sharing it with all non-profit groups, charging each of them the same permit fee. Local faith groups, trustees say, also face large fee increases.

said the group’s recent past president, Jason Silzer. “Within our seasons, we always try to strike a balance between shows that will bring in a good audience, shows that will have younger people in the cast and shows that are both edgy and familyfriendly...,” he said. Like Annie and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat staged in past season openers, The Wizard of Oz, a story about a girl named Dorothy who gets swept away to a magical land and goes on a quest to get back home, is family-friendly and has it all: an amazing fantasy world, catchy musical numbers, fun and unusual characters. This includes the Munchkins, the Wicked Witch of the West, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Silzer’s character, the Cowardly Lion. Silzer said the Lion is a great character to play because he has the right amount of fun and depth despite the story being a fairly light and fun. “He’s a bit of a scene stealer and...he’s the one that I really wanted to play because he has the (If I Were) King of the

Forest number, which is such a great number,” Silzer said. Other popular songs in the show include ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow,’ ‘We’re Off to See the Wizard’ and ‘Ding, Dong the Witch is Dead.’ Another well-known song, ‘If I Only Had a Brain’ will be performed by Craig Estrella, who is playing the role of the Scarecrow. Fantastical story Estrella said because his character is supposed to be made of straw, there are some specific physical characteristics to playing his role – namely, figuring out how one would move and behave if they were made of straw. “First of all, I have no bone structure so I basically flop around a lot, and I have no brain so you have no way of thinking things through...and because he hasn’t been alive for a long time he’s probably a bit naive, too,” he said. With such a fantastical story line, The Wizard of Oz is a visual show full of amazing costumes and makeup to help bring the imaginative

characters to life. This production will boast plenty of wigs, make-up and about 130 different costumes between the 35-member cast. “The director is very dedicated to having the original feel and original aspects of the story and characters, so he’s gone back to the original illustrations from the book for inspiration for the costumes...” Estrella said. The Wizard of Oz is a beloved, classic story, and whether you’ve seen it before and love it or have never seen it, the production should be a fun and magical show that’s ideal for kids of all ages. Sing-along show The Wizard of Oz runs Nov. 1 to 17 at 8 p.m., at the Scarborough Village Theatre, 3600 Kingston Rd. Regular tickets $25. While most 2 p.m. matinees are sold out, there is an added 2 p.m. matinee on Nov. 10, a sing-along where people are encouraged to dress as their favourite character.

cine, and any attempts to protect diners and tipplers from cancer and asthma attacks met with concerted opposition. The first attempts at smoking bans, in the mid-1990s, happened in two former municipalities: North York, and Toronto. In both cases, councillors bowed to pressure from restaurant owners and the tobacco industry, and reversed the bans within months of them being put in place. It was only after amalgamation and with the urging of the city’s persuasive medical officer of health Dr. Sheela Basrur that council pushed ahead with a city-wide ban. And that was a terrible fight in itself, as restaurateurs and bar-owners lined up to predict a veritable hospitality apocalypse if smokers were asked to take it outside. phase-in But the bylaw passed, its opponents placated with a soothing phasein, and as it turned out Toronto’s restaurants and bars boomed, or at least flourished. Eventually the provincial government decided to mirror Toronto’ ban and for a time, it seemed as though all was settled. This week, the Toronto Board of Health decided to ramp it up a notch. Having sent smokers outside, the board recommended starting consultation on a bylaw that would finish the job, to the extent that any bylaw can. If council approves it, smoking on outdoor patios, at sports fields, outside buildings and on hospital grounds would be illegal. One can never entirely predict these things, but so far it seems as though the kerfuffle of the late 1990s won’t see a repeat

this time. According to a report from the late Dr. Basrur’s successor Dr. David McKeown, there is more widespread support for smoking bans now than 15 years ago. The dire predictions the hospitality industry made last time simply didn’t come to pass; there is less questioning of a smoking ban. money This is not to say that I’d lay money on it happening; after all, Toronto Council could well do another flip-flop on its 15-year-old opposition to casinos and approve one later this year. And while the memories of the Mad Men-era smokeem-if-you’ve-got-em ethos may have been stronger in the late 1990s than it is now, we are in the midst of the Angry Man era of Ford-family red-meat conservatism here at Toronto City Hall. So we’ll see how this goes. Now that provincial law has enshrined the city’s existing smoking bylaw, there’s no risk of that reversing - it’s out of the city’s hands. The question of what happens outside, however, is very much in play. And given everything else on our plate, the last thing Toronto needs is a bare-knuckled rematch of the smoking war. But given the crowd at city hall these days, that may be just what we get. n David Nickle is the Mirror’s City Hall columnist.

In a stunning move, the TTC’s board of commissioners has decided to reopen the Scarborough subway debate. The board voted unanimously yesterday to adopt motions from commissioners Glen De Baeremaeker and Peter Milczyn to have TTC staff draft two reports due for the new year, which together examine the possibility of a future Scarborough subway loop between Don Mills Station and the Scarborough Town Centre. The motion by De Baeremaeker calls on TTC staff to look at a potential subway line to replace the Scarborough RT, while Milczyn’s accompanying move seeks to examine the feasibility of a connecting line travelling between McCowan Road and Don Mills Road along Sheppard Avenue East. The reports are due in January 2013. The decision to re-open the idea of a subway serving Scarborough came even as the commission approved a motion by TTC chair Karen Stintz to forward a master agreement between the transit agency and Metrolinx regarding the operation of the four provincially funded LRT lines to city council in time for the October board meeting, which include a line to replace the Scarborough RT. Work on that project is slated to begin following the 2015 Pan Am Games. St. Paul’s Councillor Josh Matlow said the move to study both lines was “absolutely disastrous” for transit planning in the city. “What they are attempting to do is reopen a

debate that was painstakingly had just months ago,” he said. “We determined that an LRT was the best approach on this stretch, we had an expert panel. The master agreement with the province is going to this coming council, only days away. People don’t want any more delays. Public confidence declines in council every time we reopen debates and have them over and over and over again.” Matlow said that the consequence of the move will be to give Mayor Rob Ford an opportunity to reopen the fight over the Sheppard subway that he lost at council earlier this year. Stintz minimized the effect of the report requests, saying they did nothing to change the decisions that council had made regarding transit. “The commission asked for two feasibility studies — one the feasibility of extending the Bloor-Danforth line, on the potential of looping the line back to Don Mills,” she said. “I am confident that we’re going to have one study come back saying it’s feasible, we can extend the subway to Sheppard, and one will say it’s not feasible to extend the subway back to Don Mills Station.” De Baeremaeker, who moved the initial motion, has been pushing hard to upgrade the Scarborough RT line to a subway since the spring, when he and Stintz introduced the One City proposal for transit expansion that council rejected. He maintained that upgrading the $1.8 billion provincial project to replace the SRT to a subway would only cost $500 million, an amount that city taxpayers could pay for using new revenue tools.

Toronto residents are being asked to give more than a treat this Halloween. They can also hand out Change for Kids coins that give trick-or-treaters a chance to win prizes while supporting Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Canada’s largest hospital for disabled children. “This is the first year we’ve ever run this program,” said Tracey Bailey, president of Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation. “Our goal is to raise $100,000.” This is how the Change for Kids initiative works: People can buy an activated Change for Kids coin card for $5 at any Scotiabank branch in the GTA. Cards obtained from other distributors such as Spirit Halloween, Costco, Toys “R” Us, newspapers or magazines can be activated for $5 by visiting www.changeforkids.ca. People can then pop out the coins from their card and give them to trick-or-treaters. Children and parents should be told to visit www.change-

forkids.ca and enter their coin PIN code for their chance to win prizes. “The PIN number is important because Scotiabank will make an extra $5 gift to Holland Bloorview every time a PIN code is entered,” Bailey said. There are more than 500 prizes, including a weekend stay at the Great Wolf Lodge for your family and nine other families of your choice.

a two-kilometre walk around the Holland Bloorview property. “About every 10 feet along the two-kilometre walk, there are treat stations and trick stations and all kinds of fun things for kids to do,” Bailey said. Net proceeds from Change for Kids go to Holland Bloorview. The hospital, located at 150 Kilgour Rd. in the Bayview and Eglinton avenues area, provides specialized programs and clinical care for youth with rehabilitation and complex care needs. It has about 600 inpatient admissions and 53,000 outpatient visits each year. “Change for Kids is not only about raising money right now for the programs and services of the hospital,” said Bailey. “But the word ‘change’ has been very specifically selected because it means that everyone is doing their part to change attitudes towards disability and to make the world more accessible for everyone.”

Halloween party Change for Kids also features two events this weekend: a Halloween party at the Ontario Science Centre Saturday night (Oct. 27) and a “Monster March and Fun Fair” at Holland Bloorview on Sunday (Oct. 28). Admission to the Halloween party is $18 and includes access to all Ontario Science Centre exhibits, a family dance party and chances to win prizes. The event runs from 6 p.m. to midnight. The march and fun fair runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets are $12.50. The march consists of

Fashion show provides runway of self-esteem Ghetto Chic outfits are second hand items which residents get to keep after the show ERIN HATFIELD ehatfield@insidetoronto.com It wasn’t the typical pouts and puckers on the faces of Ghetto Chic fashion show models, but rather beaming smiles from ear-to-ear as they strutted down the runway. But then again, this wasn’t your typical fashion show. The second annual Ghetto Chic fashion show, held Oct. 17 at Strachan House, is produced by Homes First, a not-for profit organization that works to provide affordable, permanent housing and transitional supports for homeless people. Unlike the couture seen during fashion week, all the clothes were second hand and the models were all residents and staff from the Homes First fold. Sibyl Likely is the lead organizer of the Strachan House Ghetto Chic Fashion Show, a title that Likely said some might assume is negative or stigmatizing. “That isn’t the case with this show,” Likely said. “This is a way of reclaiming the language and

celebrating the culture.” Likely said by creating and producing this fashion show, they are offering Homes First residents an opportunity to raise their quality of life by offering new experiences and filling roles outside the normal labels society places on them. “One of the things addiction and mental health often creates is social isolation, lower self-esteem, poverty, and that exacerbates symptoms so that recovery doesn’t feel possible,” Likely said, adding the fashion show is normalizing for participants and it is a night to have fun in their own home. “It gives people an opportunity to see themselves, their lives and their community in a new way,” Likely said. Adair Robertson, a resident of Strachan House, participated in the fashion show for a second time. “I like the atmosphere, the feeling and the camaraderie of it,” Robertson said of being in the fashion show. Dressing up in special outfits and participating in a fashion show makes him feel good about himself

June Clause, a Homes First resident and fashion show model, makes her way down the runway at the Strachan House Ghetto Chic Fashion show last Wednesday.

and gives him a sense of accomplishment, he said. His fellow fashionista for the night, Novelette Nelson, who lives at the Homes First building at Danforth Rd. and St. Clair Avenue, said she was happy to serve as a model in the show. “I knew I could pull it off,” she

said with a laugh. “And it gives you that extra something that makes you feel good about yourself.” The clothing featured in the fashion show come through donations from people in the community and businesses. Area hair stylists did the models’ hair, while each of the 12 participants chose the outfits they

would model. Each model got to keep their outfit, and volunteers behind the scenes also got to choose an outfit. The remainder of the clothes were donated to the residents of Homes First. Patricia Mueller, executive director of the Strachan Avenue Homes First building, said the fashion show is really about developing community and making the residents feel good about themselves. “These are all second hand clothes, but it shows them they could wear these to go to a job interview or get dressed for a family event they wanted to go to,” she said. “It helps them even if they wanted to volunteer or got to the library.” Homes First operates 16 properties, including Strachan House at Strachan and Wellington, that house about 500 people. Homes First provides non-profit housing for the homeless in the City of Toronto. They also work with tenants to develop goals and put in place strategies to help them succeed.

Macdonald girls in city field hockey final ‘Incomplete’ paperwork results in disqualification of R.H. King Academy team NORM NELSON nnelson@insidetoronto.com Scarborough’s Sir John A Macdonald Collegiate will challenge for the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) girls field hockey championship today at 2 p.m. at Birchmount Stadium against last year’s finalist North Toronto Collegiate. Another Scarborough school, R.H. King Academy, however, is still smarting after their team was disqualified

prior to the east (Scarborough) division championship. At stake in today’s championship game is a trip to the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) provincial championships in Ottawa Nov. 1 to 3 . Undefeated seasons Both protagonists are undefeated going into the game: • Macdonald won its two city-wide playoff games (1-0

semifinal win over Leaside High and a 6-1 quarterfinal win over A.Y. Jackson Secondary) and three playoff games in their Scarborough loop (5-1 championship win over Agincourt Collegiate, 5-0 semifinal win over Wexford Collegiate and a 5-0 quarterfinal win over Woburn Collegiate). • North Toronto, meanwhile, had a bit of a shorter post season route, winning one semifinal game at the city level (5-0 over York

The Suites at Toronto Don Valley Hotel & Suites

Mills Collegiate) and two at their south division level (3-0 championship win over Leaside and a 3-1 semifinal win over Humberside). Both protagonists were similarly dominant throughout the regular season in their respective divisions, Sir John A Macdonald went 5-0 in their north Scarborough pool, outscoring their opponents 21-0; and North Toronto went 6-0 in their city south division, outscoring their opponents 14-1. Should be a good final. Disqualification R.H. King, meanwhile, were right in the thick of things in the east division. They took first place in their south Scarborough pool, sharing a 4-0-1 (win, loss, tie) record with Woburn, and then won their first two east division playoff games, a quarterfinal win over David and Mary Thomson Collegiate and a semifinal win over Agincourt Collegiate. It was at that point, however, they were disqualified with Agincourt, instead, declared the victors of that match and the team moving on to the east division final against Macdonald. Often some teams that don’t reach their potential are referred to as being better on

paper then on the field. In this case, with R.H. King, however, the opposite appears to be the case, where the team was much better on the field then with its paperwork. Paperwork issue Team and league officials preferred to let the board’s communications spokesperson Ryan Bird handle the matter and he was somewhat

vague but basically said it boiled down to incomplete paperwork which came to light in the playoffs. Under the league constitution, explained Bird, “you have to submit X, Y and Z, and they didn’t submit that or what they did submit was incomplete so under the TDSSAA (Toronto District Secondary School Athletic Association) constitution they couldn’t take part.”

YouthLink, an agency working to give Scarborough youths a second chance, is inviting the community to a night of musical entertainment tonight. BluesLink, at the Scarboro Golf and Country Club, will feature jazz vocalist and Malvern resident Alana Bridgewater as well as veteran musicians Joe Sealy and Paul Novotny. “YouthLink provides important services that can make a difference in my neighbourhood and I am delighted to be able to support this event,” the Gemini-nominated Bridgewater, who played the Killer Queen in the Toronto production of We Will Rock You, said in a release. BluesLink is an important fundraiser for the United Way-backed mental health agency, which counsels youth and families and stepped up its efforts after the Danzig Street mass shooting in July. Among the newest of its many support groups and programs is the Clean Break Project, which helps young offenders work through mandatory community service hours. Young people face legal consequences if they fail to complete their hours and many find the assignments difficult to finish, the agency said, “leaving youth with less time and greater barriers to completing their hours.” Clean Break recruits young people for a

Public consultations planned on outdoor smoking ban DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto could be banning smoking on restaurant patios, at the entrances to public buildings, outside hospitals and on sports fields. Toronto’s Board of Health voted unanimously Monday to hold public consultations on the widespread bans of smoking outdoors, after hearing from anti-smoking advocates that they could go even farther, and from members of the restaurant industry that they should go slower in banning tobacco use in their establishments. “Now we’ll go out and hear from folks,” said Board of Health Chair John Filion. “Regular folks and industry folks and see what we hear and bring it back. It will happen as soon as possible, I hope.” The move comes 13 years after Toronto Council last dealt with the issue of second-hand smoke in public places, banning smoking in bars, restaurants and bingo parlours. At that time the proposed ban was

controversial – so controversial that early attempts to protect restaurant workers and patrons from secondhand smoke were quickly reversed by councils in the pre-amalgamation cities of Toronto and North York. But in 1999, Toronto Council voted to ban smoking in bars and restaurants across the city, relegating smokers to outdoor patios in the summer and the sidewalk other times. Restaurant concerns The new rules would extend the smoking ban outside restaurants. And restaurateurs suggested the city shouldn’t be hasty in extending the smoking ban. Marco Morano from the Ontario Restaurant Hotel and Motel Association said an outdoor smoking ban could harm businesses in the current economic climate. “The industry landscape is certainly uncertain,” he said. Steve Mastoris, owner of Whistler’s Grill in East York, suggested the city should wait for province-wide legislation and at least move slowly with

a great deal more consultation than he said occurred in the late 1990s. “To move forward in some haste on a patio ban, I don’t think is genuine in Toronto,” he said. “Toronto’s a unique city – we’re diverse ethnoculturally. We’re not Ottawa (where a ban was recently introduced). We’re an economic engine in our city and in our province. If you use Ottawa as a model you can do so, but there are other models in the province that have resisted the decision to ban.” The Board of Health is considering recommending a ban given data that while smoking has been on the downward trend over the past decade, it has plateaued in recent years. Toronto’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David McKeown said the health issue persists. “Despite the fact that most public places are smoke free, there are still a significant proportion of individuals who report they’re exposed to second-hand smoke,” he said. McKeown said it also made sense to ban smoking in places where young people could see tobacco use normalized,” such as at sports fields and on restaurant patios.
