Four graves were discovered on the St. John the Evangelist parish property last week during the excavation of land required for the expansion of the new school building.

The two adult and two children burials were found one metre below on the north side of the parish parking lot where the new St. John the Evangelist Catholic School soccer field will eventually be located.

“It was common knowledge there was a cemetery there in the past,” said Dave Bennett, chair of the St. John the Evangelist Catholic School Advisory Council, noting the school and >>>CONSTRUCTION, page 10

Sculptor Blake Ward makes his Toronto gallery debut today until Saturday, Nov. 8 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Articsók Gallery, 1697 St. Clair Ave. W. Ward’s contemporary work builds on the techniques of classical figurative sculpture used since antiquity. Yellowknife-born Ward received his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Alberta in 1979, found his interest lay in classical figurative sculpture and, unable to find a teacher in Canada, moved to Paris, where he studied with Cyril Heck until 1989. When the opportunity to be

closer to the foundry of his choice arose, Foundry Venturi Arte in Bologna, he moved to his current studio in Monte Carlo in

Blake Ward’s sculptures will be on display at the Articsók Gallery, 1697 St. Clair Ave. W. starting today.

Invited to teach at the University of Hanoi in 2003, Ward began a journey combining art with activism. He has been raising funds and awareness for the eradication of land mines. Ward’s work has shown in Monaco, England, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong, Delhi, The United States, and Canada.

H

ere’s the challenge for this municipal election to Toronto citizens: let’s keep increasing the voter turnout.

In 2010, the voter turnout in the city was 50.5 per cent. While that figure may not seem impressive, it is actually the highest total in amalgamated Toronto’s election history. It is a remarkable double-digit increase from the 2006 municipal election total of 39.3 per cent. It’s also more than 12 per cent higher than the 2003 vote.

So was the election that swept Rob Ford into the mayor’s chair just a spike or a sign of a more engaged populace?

We hope it’s the latter.

Stronger voter turnouts mean more people are heard from and a more accurate portrayal of the city’s desires is presented for our repreour view sentatives to act upon.

So how can increased engagement happen?

Make sure Know that multiple voting your voice is options are available. If your schedule is tight on Oct. 27, heard Oct. 27 advance polls run – one location in each ward – from Oct. 14 to 19.

While online voting in Toronto is not yet a reality, one location in each of the city’s 44 wards is equipped with a Voter Assist Terminal that will be available for both the advance vote and on election day. The city’s website, toronto.ca, lists accessibility information for all voting locations.

Secondly, check to see that you’re registered. Paper cards are being sent in the mail to 1.6 million eligible voters this week. Citizens can also check the eligible voters list or get on it by visiting www.toronto.ca/ myvote Finally, and most importantly, there are no shortage of issues – city-wide and neighbourhood-focused – for citizens to explore. If you live in the city, there is something out there that impacts you.

Visit our election website at insidetoronto. com/2014torontovotes to familiarize yourself with the candidates and the issues. If you don’t find that a concern is being voiced, why not voice it yourself?

Elections are the perfect opportunity to do exactly that.

There’s less than three weeks to go until Election Day, and less than a week before advance voting begins.

Whenever you do it, whomever you cast your ballot for, make sure your voice is heard.

A look at the next generation of arenas

F

amous arena architect: “Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the future. Underneath this velvet sheet is a model of our long-awaited, stateof-the-art hockey arena.

So without further ado, I’ve asked my son Kyle to do the honours.”

Not so famous son: “But Dad ...”

Architect: “Not now, Junior. Just lift the cover, please. Folks, may I direct your gaze to our 750 splitlevel corporate luxury boxes, each complete with spiral staircase and elevator.”

Social media: “Oooooh.”

Architect: “And that’s only the beginning. You see, every suite is designed by a different worldrenowned interior decorator, and comes with room service, maid service, secret service and private helicopter landing pad.”

Social media: “Ahhhhh.”

Architect: “Not only that, but each corporate

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY logo will be visible from every seat in the house.”

Social media: “Oooooh, ahhhhh. Oooooh, ahhhhh.”

Son: “But Dad ...”

Architect: “I told you, not now, Kyle. We also have 8,500 premium club suites to accommodate the small business budget. We call it the Ricardo Montalban section because the chairs are made of rich Corinthian leather. And each seat comes equipped with its own website and wi-fi set up. And of course, the corporate logos are visible from every seat in the house.”

Son: “But Dad ...”

Architect: “Please, Junior. There are also six five-star restaurants.”

Social media: “Wowwwww.”

Architect: “And five sixstar restaurants.”

Social media: “Yowwwww.”

Architect: “Plus counters of the world’s top fast-food franchises outside every exit. And yes, to answer your obvious question, all their logos will be visible from every seat in the house.”

Social media: “Wowwwww. Yowwwww.

Wowwwww. Yowwwww.”

Architect: “It also has a hotel, motel, health club, cineplex, nightclub, dayclub, golf course, shopping mall and theme park.

And, of course, all of those logos will be visible from every seat in the house, too.”

Social media: “Oooooh.

Ahhhhh. Wowwwww.

Yowwwww.”

Architect: “And finally, the pièce de resistance: the world’s first revolving Jumbo-Colosso-GigantoHumongo-Tron. A breathtaking 25,000-square-foot,

50-million-kilowatt beauty that will show advertising throughout the game.

And, needless to say, we’re talking ads that will be visible from every seat in the house.”

Son: “But Daaaaaaaad ...”

Architect: “Oh, alright.

Excuse me ladies and gentleman. My son Kyle is a little restless having had to stay still through all this.

Yes, what is it, Junior?”

Son: “Hey, don’t get me wrong Pop, it’s a fantastic building, really it is. It’s just that you overlooked one teensy weensy little detail.”

Architect: “Really? And what’s that, mister knowit-all?”

Son: “You forgot to leave room for the ice.”

opinion

How flexible is SmartTrack plan?

John Tory’s plan for surface subway rail has been getting a lot of attention over the past months of the mayoral campaign – much of it skeptical.

There is good reason. Tory is extolling the feasibility of his transit-for-nothing plan like a Revival-tent preacher. The financial plan for it is built primarily on his faith that Toronto development might continue to boom over the next decade or so.

For the western portion through Etobicoke, Tory places his faith in engineers to lay new track around, under and (who knows?) over houses and community facilities and roadways to complete the whole grand vision.

So assuming that the whole thing goes ahead, and Tory’s faith is not rewarded, Toronto could be paying back a shortfall in funding to a city-spanning ‘surface subway’ that will wreak havoc on communities in the west end.

There is a more likely outcome: the realities of economics, politics and engineering will make the whole-cloth

david nickle the city plan Tory’s pitching now impossible.

There is that tax increment financing plan (TIF).

Even if the rules permit it and the development bears out Tory’s optimism, there will be significant political problems in collecting the cash. The TIF scheme will keep tax dollars away from municipal and educational services needed for the growth.

And engineers are not magicians. Tunnelling through the loamy soil of Etobicoke will inflate financial costs; tearing through neighbourhoods and roadways will hike the political cost.

Now, Tory will still want to do something to fulfill his mandate, and he will be bound to use political capital to see it through. He might be able to do so.

One could imagine a compromise SmartTrack plan that avoids the west end entirely.

The new project would involve accelerating the electrification of the GO Stouffville line through Scarborough, extending it to the west to Liberty Village and up to the Bloor subway line.

Doing so would provide rapid transit to Scarborough, and also deal with the transportation infrastructure deficit in the busting-at-the-seams new neighbourhood of Liberty Village, while avoiding many, though not all, of those costly engineering problems.

Which means that the whole scheme need not rely so heavily on the worrying TIF plan.

It would also, in the strictest sense of the word, represent a broken promise. But since Mayor Rob Ford claimed that the Scarborough subway compromise following from the failure of his Sheppard subway plan was a “promise made, promise kept,” the term ‘promise’ has taken a certain elasticity.

Fo l l ow i n g t h e s t a t e ment’s release last Thursday, MacTavish said Tory telephoned her and made a verbal commitment to meet in person over the “next few days� to go over his SmartTrack plan.

extend the Eglinton Crosstown LRT west to Jane Street and eventually to Pearson International Airport as was originally planned, which would avoid any property expropriations along Eglinton.

Currently the line ends in the west at Black Creek Drive.

The SmartTrack plan, meanwhile, travels to the Mount Dennis intersection, where it meets the Crosstown, and then continues west along Eglinton another 12 kilometres to Mississauga.

Going ahead with SmartTrack as opposed to LRT expansion, according to MacTavish, will require the construction of a spur line

leading west, which could mean residences and other buildings are in jeopardy.

MacTavish also wants to know from Tory – as well as mayoral candidate Doug Ford – whether he will mandate local community benefits agreements as part of transit construction which will require a percentage of local and youth employment and other considerations.

Such an agreement is already in place with Metrolinx.

The group also recently invited Olivia Chow for a walking tour of the Mount Dennis area.

As a result of the discovery, the Archdiocese of Toronto will investigate the entire property to determine the boundaries of the cemetery while being respectful of the history and

significance of the findings.

There is no timeline set to complete the investigation, noted Bennett, which may delay the school redevelopment process. “But I’d rather have it right than quick,� he added.

As for the unmarked coffins,

Bennett offered a potential explanation such as the graves being a family plot buried there before the church settled in that location, near Weston Road and Church Street. “We’re definitely looking at something from the turn of the 19th century,� he said.

closures at Bathurst and Dundas wroad Another reconstruction project is scheduled to begin at a downtown intersection, this time at Bathurst Street and Dundas Street West.

Starting Tuesday, expect various road closures along Bathurst from north of Queen Street West to south of Dundas, including a full closure of Bathurst and Dundas for more than two weeks in November, as city and TTC crews complete watermain, as well as streetcar track and road repairs.

Visit www.ttc.ca for more information about the construction which will take place in stages until Thursday, Nov.20.

QUEEN’S QUAY STREETCAR TO RESUME After many months, Harbourfront streetcar service is set to finally resume on a new right-of-way along Queen’s Quay.

Waterfront riders have had to rely on buses between Union Station and Exhibition Loop as construction of the dedicated tracks, part of Waterfront

w

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT Toronto’s hundred million dollar Queen’s Quay revitalization, dragged on.

The work was also delayed because of last year’s major winter storm as well as unanticipated replacement of aged watermain infrastructure below the street.

Both the 509 and 510 streetcars resume regular waterfront service Sunday.

MAKING ROADS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL City staff from various departments met this week to developing guidelines for future Complete Streets policies.

About 450 people from various city departments, including Planning, Transportation Services and Toronto Public Health, were expected to take part in a workshop Tuesday at Daniels Spectrum in Regent Park to learn more about Complete Streets, the notion that roadways should be open to all forms of trans-

w

portation including walking and cycling, according to Nancy Smith Lea, director for the Toronto Centre for Active Transportation.

LAUNCHES CONTEST FOR BIKE APP wCITY

Use a new smartphone app tracking bike journeys and you can win a swank set of wheels, says the city.

Between now and Nov. 30, cyclists who log their trips on the Toronto Cycling app will be eligible to win a new Opus Adagio 1.0 bicycle as well as memberships for the city’s bike share program.

More than 50,000 trips were logged via the app’s GPS trip recording function since its launch in May, according to the city. The data will be used to plan future cycling infrastructure.

The free app can be downloaded for the iOs and Android mobile platforms.

City’s election services ready to handle 2.3 million ballots No online voting for Toronto MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Toronto voters, your 2.3 million ballots are ready and waiting.

So are most of the 15,000 people who will run the city call centres, receiving centres and the 1,679 voting places handling those ballots.

The 1,850 tabulators that have counted municipal votes since 2000 will be ready too, though this is probably the last time they’ll be used.

“We have every confidence in our voting equipment,” Bonita Pietrangelo, director of Toronto’s Election Services department said during a media tour of its East York headquarters last Thursday.

On Oct. 27, things should move fast after polls close at 8 p.m., when operators turn keys in the machines, each of which will transmit its results by phone, print them out and, as a final check, download data from a smart card at a receiving centre.

Typically, 90 per cent of results will be known and posted within half an hour – and you can see them updated on the city’s website in real time, Pietrangelo said.

Paper voter cards are being sent next week to 1.6 million people on the list to vote, but citizens can check the list or get on it at www.toronto.ca/ elections/myvote The website will tell potential voters everything they need to know about voting, said Pietrangelo, adding people can be added to the list even at a voting place on election cay if they bring the right identification.

Advance polls are open in each ward from Tuesday, Oct. 14 to Sunday, Oct. 19, and for those who cannot vote on any of those days, a proxy ballot is also available.

One thing Toronto electors won’t be able to do is vote online, though dozens of smaller Ontario cities and towns are set to allow that on Oct. 27.

Staff photo/MIKE ADLER

Staff check the city’s 1,850 vote tabulators last week at the city’s Election Services headquarters in advance of the Oct. 27 municipal election.

I n F e b r u a r y, Toronto councillors asked staff to allow online voting.

A vendor for the service was chosen, but Pietrangelo said her department then decided there wasn’t enough time to build a fully tested online voting system.

Staff will keep investigating online voting, including through consultations with the public, and the next council can decide to hire another vendor, she said.

Adam Roy Cohoon, an artist who advises the city through an accessibility outreach network on barriers some voters face, said the delay was unfortunate.

Online voting will make thing a lot easier for people with disabilities, he said.

But Cohoon also demonstrated a voter assist terminal, one of which will be at all advance polls and in each riding on election day.

“I find it’s a great way to let me vote independently,” he said.

Pietrangelo said all voting places – and that includes 532 apartment or condominium

lobbies, 544 schools and 116 religious buildings – are accessible or will be made accessible with temporary ramps or people holding doors.

Even curbside voting is possible if a voter cannot enter the voting place, due to special circumstances like a recent surgery, she said.

Voters without internet access can call 311 to get election information in 180 languages, and there are printed booklets available in 24 languages and braille.

The election, for which 606 candidates are running for positions as mayor, councillor, or trustees for the four publicly funded area school boards, will cost about $9 million.

Turnout was 50.5 per cent across the city in 2010, and Pietrangelo said it’s expected this time to be between 50 and 60 per cent.
