transit offers pan am games car-pooling wUber

rahul gupta

Uber has launched a carpooling service in Toronto to take advantage of projected congestion levels during the Pan Am Games.

Until July 26, UberPool allows users of its contentious UberX ride-share service to split fare costs with a fellow customer headed in the same direction. The service has been around since 2014 in five cities including San Francisco and Paris, and Uber claims it has

Uber is also promising the carpooling option will make use of the temporary HOV lanes installed for the Games on major roadways.

That will not be music to the ears of Toronto taxi drivers who’ve opposed Uber’s operations from the start.

COLLECTS NAMES FOR BIKE LANES wPETITION With Toronto council endorsing the expansion of bike lanes on Adelaide and Richmond streets, attention from the city’s cycling community has shifted to Bloor Street.

‘Nobody can replace’ Stanley Mallon

fish tales

Longtime volunteer, 79, died July 6 DOMINIK KUREK dkurek@insidetoronto.com Stanley Mallon was somebody who wanted to help and befriend everybody and will be greatly missed in Weston, his friends say.

Mallon, who died July 6, was 79.

The married father of three children, Mark, Philip and Patti, had four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

His wife, Bev, had died in December.

His funeral service was July 9 at Central United Church, where he was a longtime member and had been a Sunday school teacher along with his wife.

Longtime friend and neighbour Barb Putnam, whose children grew up with the Mallons’ kids, gave the eulogy at the service and was later thanked for her kind words of Stanley.

“But I said no, because nobody can do justice to Stan and nobody can replace them, both Stan and Bev. First of all, they loved everybody.

Secondly, they did so much to help,” Putnam said Mallon and his wife

Stanley and Bev Mallon.

arrived in Weston approximately 45 years ago from Ottawa, which is when Putnam met the family and they became friends.

Ma l l o n w o r k e d a t a Canadian Tire and later at a hardware business. When he retired, he said he wanted to spend the rest of his life volunteering, which Putnam said he did.

The Mallons were members and volunteers at the York West Active Living Centre, the Weston Area Emergency Support food bank, and they volunteered at the local farmers market and Santa Claus Parade. Mallon delivered food baskets and he would serve tea at funeral receptions at Ward’s Funeral Home, the same funeral home that arranged his service.

But it wasn’t just when he was “volunteering” that he was

volunteering, Putnam said.

There were a lot of seniors living in the area and Mallon did everything for them. When a widow called to say a squirrel got in the house, he would come over and chase it out. He would fix lights and change light bulbs, sit on porches and listen to widows and widowers reminisce.

When Putnam’s own father was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, Mallon would visit him regularly just to talk.

“He made him so happy,” Putnam said of her dad.

“He just did everything on the street for everybody,” Putnam said. “He was a very good Christian person. He just loved people. He was just an outgoing, caring man, and that’s for people of all ages.

When he took his grandchildren to school, every mother knew him, every kid knew

him. He was just that kind of guy.”

Putnam added that Mallon never said no to a person, and he was a caring person, as was his wife.

“Just everybody loved them.

What more can you say?”

Suzanne Teixeira, executive director of the York West Active Living Centre, agreed, saying the Mallons made a great couple. They were both members and volunteers.

Mallon would drive the van, taking women out on trips that usually ended at a Tim Hortons for coffee or an ice cream shop. He would volunteer at special events and sing with the centre’s choir. Mallon also sang with The Fabulous Invictones.

“He would make best friends with a stranger,” Teixeira said. “Anytime he saw anybody and he asked ‘how are you,’ he really meant it. He would take the time and actually talk to you. Whether it was a five-minute conversation or a two-hour conversation, you always felt good when you left a conversation with Stan.”

Another longtime friend, Martin Proctor, who met the Mallons volunteering at the Weston Area Emergency Support food bank nearly 30 years ago, said the couple loved their community.

“Stan and Bev were very community-minded and were a great couple,” he said.

A woman cries during a vigil held on Friday evening near the home of Andrew Loku, who was shot by police after they responded to a call near Eglinton Avenue West and Caledonia Road on July 5. The Special Investigations Unit is currently investigating the case. On Monday, members of the Toronto chapter of Black Lives Matter released a set of demands, saying the police service and the city ‘must be held accountable’ for Loku’s death. The demands include releasing the names of the officers involved as well as video footage from the apartment complex where Loku died. Visit yorkguardian.com for more on this story.

hen a gun falls into the hands of a child or a teen, the blame for it cannot be placed on one person.

It’s a community’s collective failure to provide opportunities, outreach and ongoing dialogue for these youth that allows gun culture to take root around them.

For there to be a meaningful change, it has to be more than just the police coming to the door and patrolling the streets. There needs to be change fostered from within these neighbourhoods, but it has to happen in tangent with support from those on the who may have the means our view outside to help keep up the momentum.

The Jamestown community in Collectively north Etobicoke is mourning the loss of 14-year-old Lecent Ross, we can do who died from a gunshot wound in a friend’s home last week. Though something police continue to investigate and have not laid charges, nor said who fired the gun, they did say the weapon was an illegal, semi-automatic handgun – a .40-calibre Smith & Wesson. Lecent was the third resident on this particular street to be killed by a gun in the past two years.

Pastor Allan Bowen, of Abundant Life Assembly in north Etobicoke, told Metroland Media Toronto his community needs saving from drugs, guns and gangs.

He says they need a champion to come forward to change the community’s fate.

And while the police have their obvious role in eradicating crime from these areas, there are other players that need to come to the table.

We, the media, need to keep the spotlight on these issues and these communities. It defeats the purpose of serving the broader, public good when we swoop in on tragedy and fly out at the first sniff of the next breaking news story.

Politicians can help push for change within government. They can secure funding for community investment and investment in at-risk youth.

But their actions rely significantly on the will of the people. And it’s people who live outside of these neighbourhoods who need to start caring. There are world issues that get more support than the problems happening in our own backyard. This is our city’s problem and these people need our support.

column

The Pan Am Games are picking up steam I have to admit I never paid much attention to the Pan Am Games before, including the two times they were in Winnipeg, in 1999 and 1967.

In fact, I wasn’t even aware of the Pan An Games in 1967, let alone that they were going to be staged in Canada. Back then, amateur sports in this country didn’t have the visibility they do now.

Compounding matters was that the big push during our centennial year was for the world’s fair, Expo 67, held in Montreal.

Expo 67 was a great experience. We went there on a family vacation and I still have souvenirs from it tucked away. But given that I played just about every sport imaginable when I was growing up and was obsessed with sports 24/7 – my parents always claimed it was a lot closer to 28/7 – if amateur sports had the same profile back then as they do today, I likely would have lobbied my folks for

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY a trip to catch the Pan Am Games instead of Expo 67 considering Winnipeg, like Montreal, was just a hop, skip and flight away.

Flash forward to the present. Well, the Pan An Games have got my attention. Not my undivided attention, mind you. There’s no such thing anymore it seems, particularly in a city of this size. There are always a lot of great festivals and activities going on in Toronto at this time of year and the list keeps expanding. Throw in trying to keep up with the exploits of the Blue Jays, TFC and the Argos and all of the off-season moves of the Leafs and Raptors.

Well, we’ve got our summer hands full around here.

But, the Pan Am Games have the majority of my attention.

I still don’t know what they’re all about exactly,

but I’m learning quickly. In the meantime, I’m enjoying the benefits of having such a spectacle just around the corner. There are numerous by-products of being part of a host city. Topping that list are a generous amount of free festivities complementing the paid ones, so the huge number of people who don’t have the wherewithal to put the word “only” in front of $20 when talking about ticket prices can feel as much a part of the excitement as those who can afford to be in the stands.

There is much speculation that these Pan Am Games are a dress rehearsal for an Olympic bid for 2024. But I don’t think any of us are in need of a run-through. I sure don’t need any help. I know the Olympic spectator script by heart. I’ve been following it on cue since Friday night.

I was glued to the TV for the opening ceremonies.

I’m checking the updates regularly to see how the

Canadian athletes are doing and keeping a close eye on where Canada sits in the overall medal standings.

At night I’m watching the highlights of all our medalists. Over and over and over.

And I’m getting chills seeing our smiling athletes waving to the adoring crowd.

With the Games in town, I also get the added bonus of being able to catch a couple of live events and take in a few freebies.

Yeah, though we’re just a week in, I’m already in fine Olympic spectator spirit form.

But admittedly, I’ve still got a little work to do. You see, I’m determined by the time the closing ceremonies arrive, once and for all, I’ll finally have Pan Am spectator spirit down pat, too.

Press conference just part of story An epiphany came upon the city hall press gallery Tuesday, after Scarborough Agincourt Councillor Jim Karygiannis finished a morning news conference offering a scaremongering interpretation of the Highway Traffic Act. It was not that Karygiannis was being irresponsible when he warned Torontonians and visitors they could be fined up to $20,000 for booking an Uber ride. He was being irresponsible, of course, selectively reading sub-clauses from the Act to conflate the responsibility of a customer with that of a driver and dispatcher.

It was straightforward work for journalists at the event to dismantle that fallacy. Had Karygiannis consulted a lawyer in coming to this position?

He had not. Had he spoken with the police about the likelihood of such charges being laid against passengers booking a ride with the Uber app?

He had written them but not heard back. Had he heard of anyone in any jurisdiction being charged for calling an Uber cab? No.

by name, and insisting their questions were inspired by personal animosity to his poor brother Rob Ford, the mayor.

One wonders how much of Ford Nation is comprised of people waiting to get the keys to their car from the muffler shop, watching half or twothirds of these oh-so-distorted spectacles?

Karygiannis’ bit of mischief will likely have a similar but smaller effect, driving uninformed visitors and inattentive Torontonians from Uber cars to the waiting arms of Toronto’s licensed taxi drivers, a group that has enjoyed the unwavering support of Karygiannis.

Others, who read newspapers, watch news conferences to the end and partake of the good, balanced work broadcast journalists do piecing the story together for newscasts, won’t be so easily fooled.

But that’s just damage control. The medium has already delivered its message.

david nickle the city The epiphany didn’t have much to do with Karygiannis.

It had to do with us.

The fact is that while the councillor and former Liberal MP was twisting facts, cameras were rolling and his words were going out live on CP24 across the Greater Toronto Area. And before anyone got a chance to ask any questions – including CP24’s own journalists – Karygiannis had the floor.

And that is the epiphany: the institutionalization of liveTV coverage of press events has made it easier than ever for demagoguery to take hold.

The Ford brothers used live television news conferences to great effect, shouting down reporters who challenged assertions that were flat-out and self-evidently wrong.

Former councillor Doug Ford was a master at this liveTV obfustication, often picking out a particular journalist
