West Won Festival returns Saturday
®
NOT GARDEN VARIETY
CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com Billing itself as a festival celebrating local success, West Won Fest takes place again this Saturday at Ray Avenue and Weston Road with plenty of entertainment and activities for the whole family. “We have more vendors this year and a much larger children’s area,” said Cutty Duncan, festival co-director. The fourth annual event continues to focus on the desire for Mount Dennis residents to celebrate the positives and successes of their neighbourhood. Duncan noted there will be several performers to entertain the crowd as well as a fashion show. The “Belly Bust” will offer a wide variety of food. “Every year the festival grows,” he said. “We’ve come to a point where young people expect it.” >>>SEE, page 10

Ford, hecklers need to stick to city’s issues I
t happened on Monday and it will probably happen again. Rob Ford will attend an event and hecklers will protest against him, turning whatever the intended purpose of the event was into a sideshow of the debate over the competency and morality of Ford continuing as mayor. It’s a bad situation, which needs to be re-examined both by the Ford campaign and those opposed to him. On Monday, Ford attended the opening ceremonies for Woburn Park in the North Toronto area. The park means a lot to residents who live in the area, but you would never have known that by the circus surrounding Ford. our view Hecklers interrupted him, and the media fired questions at him Fact-based about his time in rehab, his use of drugs and more while Ford posed discussion for photos on playground equipment. What wasn’t discussed was necessary Woburn Park. It was a similar scene at the recent launch of the Pan Am/Parapan Games countdown clock in Nathan Phillips Square. It’s one year until Toronto hosts the games, but much of the event seemed to be dominated by a confrontation between an angry Ford supporter and those protesting against the mayor and the media in general. Both sides need to do better. Ford needs to respect the difference between a community event and a campaign event; and so do those who are following him around protesting. There is nothing more for the protesters to gain if they want to complain about Ford’s personal life. Whether they are wearing shirts or not, they need to stick to the issues of the campaign. Yelling at Ford about crack smoking gains them nothing. Right now, the protesters are probably helping Ford more than hurting him. What we want from this mayoral campaign is some solid, fact-based discussion on how to pay for transit improvements in Toronto, whether to abolish or stay with the Land Transfer Tax, and how to attract and keep businesses operating within the city’s borders. Those questions need to be asked and answered in an appropriate manner, rather than a circus-like atmosphere in which the campaign is currently.

Summer fun on the streets of Toronto
T
he local calendar was packed to the brim last weekend. In addition to the Jays/ Texas Rangers series and the Honda Indy, there had to be at least a dozen street festivals, too. I never realized we had that many festivals going on at one time. I was so intrigued I figured I’d check them all out. Then the rain came pouring down on Saturday which meant, if I was actually going to do it, instead of the luxury of spreading them out evenly over the weekend I’d have to jam them all in to one day. It was a tall order, to be sure. But, hey, I like challenges. So I got up bright and early Sunday morning hopped in the car intent on giving it my best shot. I decided to start with a classic, the Extremely Popular Annual DowntownFest. You couldn’t ask for a better one to kick things off and I was really pumped.
jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY Alas, I never made it. No matter which direction I turned I kept running into DisruptionFest. It’s been growing year after year, but I’ve never been a big fan. It’s always the same old, same old and this year was true to form. At virtually every intersection I was re-routed by its partner street fairs: ConstructionFest, Road ClosureFest, DetourFest, You Name ItFest. And Not Necessarily In That OrderFest. I’m not crazy about of any of them, either. They really get my goat, who incidentally is also not too fond of them, as it turns out. What troubles us is that they’re tied to three other fests that we don’t particularly care for either: the Seemingly Endless Gardiner Expressway MaintenanceFest, the
Ubiquitous Way Overdue Pothole FixFest and one making its inauspicious debut this summer, the Doing A Lot Of Miscellaneous Repairs Now In Hopes Of Somehow Averting The Anticipated Commuting Nightmares During The Pan Am Games Next SummerFest. Also known as Lots Of LuckFest. The offshoot? Local traffic gets to the virtual StandstillFest. Ah yes, the legendary Standstillfest. Where you’re serenaded in the background by the not so dulcet tones of Driver Expletive DeletedFest and Horn HonkingFest, which, neither me nor my goat are also not too wild about, if you’re keeping score at tome. Nope, it wasn’t quite the best way to start my festival search. So I decided to turn the car around, drop it off at home and once re-energized, head to the subway for a fresh start. It was just what the doctor ordered. Once through the turnstiles,
the smile quickly returned to my face. Alas, just a few stops after I hopped on the train there was a familiar weekend message on the intercom system: Passengers were being ordered to hop off and advised to make their way to the bus platform for Shuttlefest. It was tempting, to be sure, but I just wasn’t in the mood. So I declined the offer and decided to do the rest of my street festival seeking on foot. As soon as I got outside the station I took a deep breath. Then another. And another. After which I immediately started coughing. Just my luck. I was smack dab in the middle of SmogFest. Oh well, there’s always next weekend. Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much. His column appears every Thursday.

Not all resolutions can be settled without assistance. And when assistance is needed, York University’s Osgoode Mediation Clinic (OMC) is there to offer it. The clinic, born out of an alternative dispute resolution project by four students in 2006 who wanted to create opportunity for law students to develop skills and practical experience, saw the mediation clinical program turn into the OMC in 2009. Services, all free, are provided by law students in the areas of youth, housing,
campus and family conflict. Students act as mediators to try to avoid cases heading to court, which can be costly, and aim for a win-win situation for all parties. “Conflict is anything between two or more individuals that need resolution,” said Martha Simmons, director of the OMC and mediation intensive clinical program, who supervises the cases. “It can be disputes between family members, or neighbour disputes involving noise in apartment buildings. We create a plan that works for them.” Ot h e r d i s p u t e s h a ve focused on tenant-landlord,

student-teacher, school groups, and school bullying. After an intake with all sides, a mediation session
typically lasting three hours is held, Simmons said, adding most disputes can be settled after one meeting, but more will be scheduled if necessary. “It’s active listening and re-framing what people say the problem is,” she said, adding mediators do not provide legal advice. The OMC’s catchment area includes part of the former city of York. The boundaries are roughly just north of Steeles Avenue, Yonge Street, Eglinton Avenue and just west of Jane Street, Simmons said, adding similar services are offered by other organizations outside those
boundaries. The OMC also offers conflict coaching in cases where one party agrees to mediation, but the others do not, she said.
“
It’s active listening and re-framing what people say the problem is. – Martha Simmons
“We can help one party learn skills on how to speak to the other side and try to resolve it themselves,” she said. “We will coach that one person.”
Mediators will also attend small claims court to help resolve issues such as tradespeople not getting paid by homeowners for work, Simmons said. Training seminars are offered to community groups, middle schools and youthfocused organizations about how to resolve conflicts themselves, and conflict workshops teach practical strategies to manage verbal attacks and bullying.

transit Tunnel Borer deal now off wTTC
rahul gupta
A deal between the TTC and a Chinese company to purchase four tunnel borer machines (TBM) is now off. The deal for the TBMs, which were used to excavate subway tunnels connecting Downsview Station and six planned stops as part of the Toronto-York Spadina subway extension, was shelved after Lovesuns Tunnelling Canada withdrew its $9.2 million offer, according to media reports. No reason was given for the dissolution of the sale, and it’s likely the TTC will look for a new buyer. Previously the TBMs were offered to manufacturer Caterpillar to buy back, but the offer was also rejected. update at Eglinton West wDetour
