More graves unearthed on parish property CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com

A derelict rail underpass near Dufferin Street and Castlefield Avenue has been transformed into a local landmark with the unveiling of a public artwork this past weekend. The community-inspired mural was a project by STEPS (Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Spaces) Initiative in partnership with the Friends of the York Beltline and local Eglinton-Lawrence Councillor Josh Colle. “We had a lot of community feedback,” said Vera Belazelkoska, manager of community projects with STEPS. “They wanted something abstract, really colourful, and speaks to the history of the community.” >>>PEDESTRIAN, page 8

More than 70 graves have now been discovered at the archeological excavation site on the St. John the Evangelist parish

property with this number still expected to grow. “It was a pioneer cemetery attached to an early parish,” noted Ron Williamson of Archeological Services Inc., the firm that is leading the investi-

gation, now in its second week, ordered by the Archdiocese of Toronto. “Over the course of the century, people forget about it.” Some grave markers that were uncovered indicate

graves dating back to the 1860s, Williamson said. There are now plans to expand the excavation site to the north and south of the parish property, near Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue

Marathon quest fulfilled in New York York woman crosses item off ‘bucket list’ after finishing race Melody Chan ykg@insidetoronto.com

odi Spitzer’s calendar is packed. She shares a house with four pets and two adult children and holds a full-time job in Toronto’s marketing industry. But she loves a challenge and on Sunday the Winona Drive-St. Clair Avenue West resident fulfilled a long-standing goal: to run the New York City Marathon – her first marathon in more than eight years. “I’ve always been very competitive with myself,” she said. Spitzer, 51, began running at the end of 2004 and when she and her older sister signed up for a class that taught women over 40 how to run marathons. Her first race was with a running group that ran the Washington Marathon in 2005. “We crossed the finish line and said we would never do that again,” Spitzer recalled. “Then, three days later, we thought, ‘Well we could probably do better,’ and pretty much our whole group signed up for another marathon.” They ran Chicago together the following year. After Chicago, Spitzer took a break from running, but the New York City Marathon, one of the two items currently on her bucket list (the other is to

marathon was the fourth time she had applied to run. Even though Spitzer is part of a running community that she’s kept in touch with, she prefers to train on her own. She sets out for her long runs on Saturday mornings with a route in mind, her Asics and the perfect playlist. As she runs down the streets of her neighbourhood, she’s alone with her thoughts and occasionally, her voice. When she knows the words to a song she loves such as Van Morrison’s Dancing in the Moonlight or The Cars’ My Best Friend’s Girl, she begins to sing out loud: “It makes that next four or five minutes really go fast.” Sunday’s race was challenging. It was windy, the course was hard and from the start, the iPod she relied on to keep her distracted didn’t work. Throughout the run, she was plagued with doubts that she wouldn’t meet her goal. However, there were moments of inspiration as well. “There was someone with a sign that said, ‘you can cross this off your bucket list’ and it hit at the right time, around 21 miles, when I was struggling,” she said. “Relieved, proud and excited” to have completed the race, which is the world’s largest marathon, she finished with a time of 4:51:32 – 40 minutes better than her Chicago time.

Police seek leads in fatal shooting of father of five Man killed outside Weston Road social club Oct. 5 FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Police are encouraging three persons of interest in a York homicide investigation to come forward, after a man was shot to death at an afterhours club Oct. 5. Andrew Surage, 47, died from a single gunshot wound to the chest outside of Captain Social Club, 325 Weston Rd., around 5:40 a.m. At a news conference last

Thursday, Det. Sgt. Graham Gibson of Homicide said Surage, a father of five, was out with friends at several establishments that night before attending the unlicensed club. They stayed a short time before leaving, noting they didn’t like the atmosphere of the club. As they left, a man approached one of Surage’s friends, and after speaking the man grabbed the chain around the friend’s neck. Surage asked for the chain to be returned, and the man refused and left the area. Gibson said from video surveillance, police believe the man retrieved a handgun from his vehicle, returned to Surage and his friends, and fired one shot.

Surage died from a gunshot wound to the chest. Video surveillance shows the shooter and three persons of interest attended the area at least two-anda-half hours before the shooting, all arriving in the same vehicle, Gibson said, adding he believes it’s possibly a dark-coloured, late model Honda Accord. The suspect is described as 5’ 10” to six-feet tall, with a muscular build and black curly hair worn in a ponytail. He was wearing dark clothing, including a dark hoodie. Two persons of interest are males, and one person of interest is a female, Gibson said, adding at least one person of interest witnessed the

chain robbery, and another person of interest knew the suspect had a gun in the car and fired a shot. The club’s parking lot was full of cars at the time of the shooting, but everyone fled afterwards without speaking to police, Gibson said, except for Surage’s friends who have co-operated with investigators. Surage was not known to police and there is no indication he or his friends knew the shooter, he said. “If you saw the shooting, I urge you to listen to your conscience and call me,” Gibson said.

fter recent events in Quebec and Ottawa saw the killing of two Canadian military personnel, and an attack on Parliament Hill, it is important to remember that soldiers continue to serve our country every day – both at home and abroad. Torontonians went to the polls Oct. 27 to elect a mayor and city councillors who will govern our city for the next four years. With Remembrance Day taking place this Tuesday it’s beholden to Torontonians to remember what those who serve this country are fighting for – the right for democracy allowing every single one of us to vote for our elected officials, and to stand up for what we believe in as a country, province and city. This sentiment has been said before, perhaps every Remembrance Day, and in the pages of this newspaper – but with the recent election and a federal election in 2015, it is a sentiment worth repeating. our view Voter turnout increased for the 2014 municipal election – Use your right more than 60 per cent of those to be involved eligible cast their ballots – and is something we should strive and be heard to do each and every election. Engagement pays respect to those who fought for our right to engage in politics. But once you’ve cast your vote – whether you liked the outcome or not – it is not time to stand still. Your vote continues, your opinion continues, and your ability to impact policy and decisions continues. If all you do is cast a ballot but do little else over the next four years, then it was all for naught. Participate in town halls, call your councillor, join a residents’ or community association and let your voice be heard. With each military mission Canada has engaged in – including the most recent one against ISIS – our country offers up its military family to fight for freedom. Not just ours, but the freedom of other countries and innocent people. Voting is a sometimes dangerous endeavor in many countries. For us it is simple: go to a polling station and participate. No worry, no danger. We owe it to every soldier who fought for our freedom to remain engaged in the political future of our country, province and our city.

Learning the ABCs of pre-game rituals

ockey players tend to be creatures of habit, particularly on game days. They like to go to the rink along the same route, put on their gear in the same order, do the same on-ice warm-up and so on. It all starts with the regular pre-game meal, which is often set in stone at the earliest of ages. I witnessed this ritual first-hand on Sunday when my friend Laura invited me to join her to watch her little guy Jake play a league game. When I dropped by to pick them up, Jake was fully dressed in all his hockey equipment, wolfing down his cherished pre-game lunch while Laura was on speaker phone. She had just got a call from her friend Molly. Molly: “So I take it as we speak Jake is inhaling his SpaghettiOs?” Laura: “Uh, uh, uh. Not just SpaghettiOs. Campbell’s SpaghettiOs. They have to be Campbell’s

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY SpaghettiOs or nothing.” Molly: “You really expect me to believe he can actually tell the difference between Campbell’s and a competitor or even a noname brand?” Laura: “Yes, blindfolded. With a stuffed-up nose. And his tongue tied behind his back. I once tried a substitute and he didn’t take a bite. The different smell alone made him gag. Since then I have to show him the tin it came in and post it on Facebook before I’m allowed to make it.” Molly: “You‘ve got be kidding.” Laura: “We never, ever, ever kid about SpaghettiOs in this house. And that‘s not the half of it. He has a whole routine he goes through each time. He eats all the consonants first. One by one. In alphabetical order, no less.”

Molly: “No way.” Laura: “Yes way. Most definitely way. What’s more, after he‘s done with the consonants he eats the vowels, but in reverse alphabetical order this time.” Molly: “Why in reverse for the vowels?” Laura: “Beats me. He says I’m not ready to know. He’ll let me know when I am.” Molly: “And I thought my Luke‘s routine of eating corn on the cob one row at a time and skipping the next row as he works his way through the cob was weird. Anyhow, beside the quirky dining habits, how’s Jake doing?” Laura: “He’s great. But one thing he does is bothering me a bit.” Molly: “What’s that?” Laura: “Well, after all these years he still can’t say ‘SpaghettiOs’. He still says ‘PusghettiOs’. It was cute, but now I’m getting concerned. Any ideas?” Molly: “That depends.

How old is your little man, anyhow?” Laura: “He’ll be 47 this Friday.” Molly: “Not to worry. I went through the exact same thing with my Luke. So I went to a speech clinic where I learned that having difficulty properly pronouncing food names during the all-important game day lunch is a common occurrence among players. The good news is there’s a very simple cure.” Laura: “So what’s the solution?” Molly: “Next time he’s sitting at the table in all his equipment eagerly waiting for you to prepare his pregame meal and you ask him what he wants, just make absolutely sure that before he speaks – he takes out his hockey mouth guard.” Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously.

The province announced it will spend $273 million to upgrade the Union Station rail corridor’s ancient train signalling system. All told, upgrading the signal system, which will take four years to complete, will cost nearly $366 million with the remaining amount coming from federal government infrastructure funding. The work will improve service in time for the expected doubling of ridership in as soon as a decade, says the regional transit service. The upgrades are expected to begin in 2015.

Honouring our heroes on Remembrance Day Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers’ achievements and sacrifices and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. On November 11, Canadians honour our past and present military. Since the end of World War I, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and perished in the line of duty have been dedicated on Remembrance Day. One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died so that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else.

The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem titled “In Flanders Fields.” After the poem was published, it received international acclaim, and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it on the right side because that is where a widow would wear her husband’s medals. Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers the opportunity to remember those soldiers’ efforts to secure freedom.

Pedestrian tunnels also get makeover >>>from page 1 After the community consultation process, street artists Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson, also known as PA System, got involved and worked with the community to create SKEIN, which resembles twists of yarn, inspired by the neighbourhood’s textile history. Along with the interior walls of the underpass, the nearby pedestrian tunnels were also painted with help from local youth, Belazelkoska noted. “The tunnels were really bad. They were so littered and tagged,” she said. Domenic Scali, who co-chairs the residents’ group Friends of the York Beltline along with Colle, agreed.

“The bridge was an eyesore and the tunnel was ugly,” said Scali, adding he had approached the councillor a couple of years ago with ideas to beautify the community and reclaim the York Beltline for residents. He also noted that wayfinding signage is in the works as well as enhanced lighting in the pedestrian tunnels. “It’s really helped the neighbourhood,” Scali said. The mural project was funded by the City of Toronto’s StreetARToronto program with support from area businesses and associations.

A new mural on the Dufferin Street underpass and pedestrian tunnels, just south of Castlefield Avenue, by artists Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson, was unveiled on Saturday.

Plans to build school next to parish continue >>>from page 1 In the meantime, the site plan approval for the new St. John the Evangelist Catholic School building is expected to proceed as planned. “Everything is still going forward,” said John Yan, senior co-ordinator of communications with the Toronto

Catholic District School Board, adding local students have been attending a different school for the past two years with the school redevelopment process taking place. An archeological report is expected shortly after the completion of the investigation, which the school board will be waiting

to read. In regards to identifying the graves, that might prove to be difficult as burial plans and a full listing of who was buried in the cemetery back then would be hard to come by. “It’s extremely rare you’d have that,” Williamson said.

Tory must get his executive right It is a quiet time at Toronto City Hall this week. With the new council weeks away, radio silence seems to be the watchword. In at least the first part of the week, mayor-elect John Tory took time off to recharge after a long campaign. If councillors have heard from him or his team about their roles in the new administration, they’re not talking about it. The mayorelect did tell a local radio show that he would hope to noticeably improve traffic congestion by early 2015. But he’s going to have to deal with another congestion issue a little bit sooner: namely, deciding the shape of his executive committee. Case Ootes, who’s heading up Tory’s transition team, wouldn’t speculate on how that committee would find its shape, but he did acknowledge the committee would be no good if its members didn’t help Tory implement his agenda. Getting this one right is crucial. The question is,

the city what kind of “right” is right for John Tory. When Ootes helped Rob Ford make an executive committee four years ago, the two came up with a membership that was entirely suburban, mostly male and of a single mind politically. Councillors from the former City of Toronto and most of the women on council were on the outside. That composition suited the Ford administration as he wasn’t elected on a mandate of conciliation, and a divided council suited his style. Tory’s playing a different game. He’s billed himself as a city-healer. If that promise is going to bear fruit, he’s going to have to reach across the aisle. Not altogether, of course: if reliable city hall conservatives like Denzil MinnanWong don’t find a place on

Tory’s executive, then the city is truly out of joint. And it is unlikely just-asreliable progressives like Gord Perks would be either eager to participate or welcome on a Tory executive committee. But there are plenty of voices who have spent time on the outside this past term that might find a seat inside on this one. Ward 15’s Josh Colle, Ward 22’s Josh Matlow, Ward 27’s Kristyn Wong-Tam all sit at various removes from Tory’s fiscally conservative, socially liberal realm of politics. Shelley Carroll from Ward 33 is like many of Tory’s supporters, a card-carrying Liberal but over the past four years a persistent opponent of the Ford agenda. Will Ootes recommend councillors like these to round out the committee and extend Tory’s reach? Or will he pick a more consistent core of supporters?

city news

Four items John Tory needs to make a priority DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com In just weeks, John Tory will be taking over the job of mayor from Rob Ford — becoming amalgamated Toronto’s fourth mayor. Voters have handed Tory a fractured and fractious city government whose problems will require complex solutions. We’ve spent nearly 10 months listening to the promises Tory hopes will resolve those issues: transportation gridlock, a lack of leadership, a divided council and a weakened position with other levels of government. Voters also expressed some expectations. Forty per cent of those who voted want to see Tory keep his promises. Sixty per cent expressed wishes and hopes that Tory didn’t address: worries about child care and children’s nutrition, and higher-order transit in corners of the city not addressed by Tory’s plan. If Tory is to successfully unite Toronto as he’s promised, he’s going to have to speak to all those expectations. Here’s what we’ll be watching for:

REPAIRING A BUILDING A CITY CITY – AND COUNCIL – DIVIDED WHERE ‘NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND’ RELATIONS wLEADERSHIP: wDIVERSITY: wINTER-GOVERNMENTAL

ON BECOMING UNSTUCK wTRANSPORTATION:

Soon-to-be-former Mayor Rob Ford’s approach to politics has served to widen those divisions to the point that normal channels of leadership all but collapsed in late 2013 and were replaced by a provisional government barely held together by the straining goodwill of city councillors. This term offers an opportunity to begin anew, with a new mayor who has run expressly on his ability to lead and build consensus. In a 10-point code of conduct, Tory pledged to treat his colleagues, his office and his constituents with respect. That’s a good start, but Tory will have to not only build the base of political support on council he needs in order to put his agenda into effect – he will have to deal with a council traumatized by four years of unprecedented division. City-wide, Tory must deal quickly with the reality that for much of Scarborough and Etobicoke, he is a second choice. Voters there made it clear they feel downtown ‘elites’ like Tory don’t represent their needs and desires. Fixing our broken city is bound to be a fundamental task.

Toronto has spent the last decade stuck; whether behind the wheel of a car, in a bus shelter on a wind-swept road, or waiting to pack onto a crowded subway. All three main candidates in the 2014 mayoralty race put forward ways to relieve that congestion. Toronto voters expect Tory to come through on some big promises: he’s got to get his SmartTrack plan on the rails quickly in order to meet his self-imposed schedule of a fully operational frequentservice surface rail line stopping at 22 stations in Scarborough, Liberty Village and Etobicoke. Tory has pointed to this infrastructure plan as not only a way to meld the city together geographically but also socio-economically, giving Torontonians a way to connect with employment regardless of the neighbourhoods in which they live. Tory has also said he will make a point of personally ensuring that disruptive road repairs will be conducted efficiently and with an eye to maintaining traffic flow; that he will construct fully separated bike lanes at a reasonable pace to improve safety for cyclists.

Tory takes charge of a city increasingly divided between richer and poorer neighbourhoods, and where many new Canadians and people with disabilities do not think they have the same chance to participate. South Asian business groups told Tory companies led by first- and second-generation Canadians don’t think city hall has a fair process for awarding contracts. Tory didn’t think that was a conscious exclusion on the city’s part. But he said he’d make certain one such business was placed on each short list for city contracts. Tory said he’d urge Ontario’s professions to accept more foreign-trained candidates, and suggested doing more to integrate Toronto’s ethnic chambers of commerce with mainstream bodies such as Toronto and Region Board of Trade. Tory doesn’t agree the city should force its contractors and suppliers to hire or train people from disadvantaged areas of the city, or visible minorities or persons with disabilities. Tory told an audience of people with disabilities he would be a powerful advocate for them if elected.

John Tory has cast himself as the ‘chief salesperson’ Toronto has lacked for four years, a leader with a personal reputation strong enough to ‘sell, sell, sell’ his city to the world. Tory, as co-chair of the Greater Toronto Marketing Alliance, a body trying to bring jobs to Toronto, and as former CEO of the Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance, has thought about what Greater Toronto needs as a region – not just a city and its sprawling suburbs – to compete against the world’s other city regions. Preparing to retire this year, city manager Joe Pennachetti said protecting core services residents want depends on getting the province to resume its former policy of funding half of TTC’s operating costs, and persuading both federal and provincial governments repair and expand Toronto’s affordable housing stock. If the other governments won’t relieve those big financial pressures, Toronto must look for new revenue sources to scrape up the money, Pennachetti said. How would Tory convince the other governments to permanently shift large sums to the city’s coffers?
