West-end group meeting with minister on noise walls ◗ A west-end residents group is hoping the province will step in to halt a series of controversial train noise walls planned

by Metrolinx.

Kevin Putnam and fellow representatives from the Junction Triangle Rail Committee are sched-

uled to meet with Ontario Transportation Minister Glen Murray today at Queen’s Park to relay the group’s objections to 16-feet high concrete and transparent acrylic barriers Metrolinx wants to begin constructing along the GO Georgetown South rail cor-

ridor, which passes through Weston, starting next year.

The group has long opposed the noise walls which it considers an eyesore intended to hide diesel train traffic from view and make future electrification of the Georgetown corridor less

likely.

Metrolinx says the barriers need to be in place by 2015, when the Union Pearson (UP) Express air rail link begins operation and creates a significant increase in diesel train traffic along the corridor.

Police issue warning over distraction thefts Police are reminding the public to be vigilant following an increase of fraud and distraction thefts.

An elderly woman was walking in the St. Clair Avenue and Dufferin Street area Friday, Oct. 18 when she was approached by a well-dressed man who engaged her in conversation in Italian, police said.

During their talk, the man managed to convince the woman they have a mutual relative out of country, and convinced her the relative

is in desperate need of immediate monetary assistance.

The man then obtained a quantity of cash from the victim.

Police said the incident is similar to other occurrences in the city’s central and west end.

Two days later, an elderly woman walking in the Eglinton Avenue and Dufferin Street area became the latest victim of distraction thefts in that community, police said.

Police said a woman would get out

of a car and start up a conversation with an elderly woman walking on the sidewalk.

A driver would remain in the vehicle, and on several occasions a toddler in a child seat would be in the back.

The woman then asks for directions to a doctor’s office or pharmacy, or for financial assistance for a funeral or planned trip, or if the victim would like to sell her jewelry.

The conversation ends with the

Italian donation to HRH a gift to all communities: chair says LISA QUEEN lqueen@insidetoronto.com

McMurrich Junior Public School grades 5 and 6 students Carina Fong, left, Jordan Hoivik, Rashaun Williams and Jimmy Farnel take part in a recent attempt to set the record for largest science lesson. They joined classrooms from across Canada to learn about gravity and atmosphere on Earth, the moon and Mars by flying paper airplanes.

McMurrich students’ attempt at world record takes flight

Children take part in nation-wide science lesson CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com

S

tudents from McMurrich Junior Public School joined classrooms across Canada this past week in an attempt to break the world record for the largest science lesson.

Taking place at the same time across the country on Oct. 18 at 1 p.m., the science lesson involved students constructing and flying paper airplanes to learn about gravity and atmosphere on Earth, Mars and the moon.

“This is the launch into our flight unit,” said Kamla Rambaran, grade 5 and 6 teacher at McMurrich, coleading the class of about

60 students who were excited about the possibility of setting a Guinness World Record. paper planes Classmates Jimmy Farnel, Jordan Hoivik, Rashaun Williams and Carina Fong worked together in one group throwing different model paper airplanes to simulate flight in different atmospheres.

They also measured the distance of each flight then discussed their results.

“It’s pretty cool,” said Carina, who enjoyed the interactive science lesson.

Jimmy agreed: “We normally use textbooks and

it’s not as fun.”

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield encouraged the students and talked about the effects of gravity on Earth and in space during a special video message that was played before the half-hour, cross-country, science experiment.

“I want to invite you to have fun with science,” he said.

All the recorded data and evidence will be collected over the next few weeks and submitted to Guinness in hopes of establishing a new world record.

Italian generosity took centre stage at North York’s Columbus Centre when the Calabrian Benevolent Association of Ontario contributed towards construction of the new Humber River Hospital.

The association’s founding 12 members donated $500,000 to the hospital being built at Hwy. 401 and Keele Street.

“The Calabrian Benevolent Association of Ontario, with a distinct Calabrian accent... will take a role in community development initiatives that will benefit the entire community,” chair Ralph Chiodo told guests at the cheque presentation ceremony last Wednesday evening.

“We can’t always expect that someone else will take care of things. We must do our part when we can.”

The association is pleased to donate to the hospital because it is committed to initiatives that benefit the Italian and broader community, Chiodo told The Guardian.

“This hospital serves the community of 850,000 people, which a good portion are of Italian background. We’ve been in this community a long time,” said Chiodo, who served for a decade as foundation chair of the former Humber Memorial Hospital.

“

All the communities, all the nationalities will benefit from this huge, great future hospital that we’re about to finish building.

– Ralph Chiodo

“We want to help this new hospital, which will be here for generations to come. We’re interested in the entire community, not just the Italian community.

All the communities, all the nationalities will benefit from this huge, great future hospital that we’re about to finish building.”

In recognition of the gift, the lounge outside of cardiology will be named in the association’s honour.

Hospital presiden Dr. Rueben Devlin thanked the predominantly Italian crowd, clearly proud of its cultural roots and also its place within the broader community.

“It takes a village to build a new hospital. Whatever village you’re from, it’s appreciated,” Devlin said.

Eddy Battiston, chair of the hospital foundation board of directors, also praised the association’s generosity.

“The CBAO understands the power of investing in communities,” he said.

“You honour your cul-

tural roots and mobilize your hard-won accomplishments by investing in community initiatives that not only enhance the lives of its citizens, but gives flight to their dreams.”

The association’s gift will encourage others to come forward with donations, Battiston said.

Community and business donors have contributed more than $50 million toward the $225-million public fundraising goal.

The new $1.75-billion Humber River will be North America’s first fully digital hospital.

For example, it will feature voice recognition for immediate bedside charting, robotic delivery of non-narcotic medicines and supplies, the ability for patients to control their room lights, order food and video call family and friends from bedside computers, and technology that will result in faster diagnoses.

“The purpose of this technology is to put patients first,” Devlin said.

The concrete for the hospital has been poured and the building should be closed in to the ninth or 10th floor by winter, he said.

“By this time 2015, we will have treated our first patient there,” he said.

mysterious apparition in North York. A spooky voice in Casa Loma. A figure in the window of Colborne Lodge.

Toronto is full of compelling tales of the otherworldly. In today’s Halloween edition of The York Guardian, you’ll find spooky lore with a local flavour on page 6, along with a list of the stories we’ve worked on in all nine of our newspapers across the city. You can access all of the stories online at bit.ly/192hP6w We encourage you to check them out. Toronto’s tales are fascinating, whether they involve the unexplained chill felt by some visitors to Montgomery’s or the clip-clop of horse our view Inn hooves said to have been heard at historic Fort York.

City’s history But in addition to offering a spine-tingling shudder, these a valuable stories form an important part of our city’s history. These are resource stories that have survived, grown and evolved but at their genesis are about real people in real places.

As Ewan Wardle of the Fort York National Historic Site observed during a site tour called Fort York After Dark: “These are real human beings who lived and loved and died on the grounds that we are walking.”

We wrote in this space in August about why local history matters. Its importance is not just about remembering or preserving the past. We believe if we know more about our local communities and the people and events that shaped them, we establish closer connections to them. If we make those connections, we’ll have a greater understanding of what we want our communities to be.

So what can one do?

Consider the resources at your disposal. When it comes to knowing more about our history, your local library branch and the City of Toronto Archives are great places to start your search. Did you know you can research your residence at the Archives?

If you have more time to commit, perhaps reach out to local resident groups or a historical society to get involved.

We spend a significant amount of time in the communities we live in. Why shouldn’t we find out more about them and want to help them grow?

All dressed up and somewhere to go How about a ban on jamie wayne S nanny-state laws? o, have you got your Halloween costume picked out yet?

Not to worry.

If you still haven’t figured out what you’re going to get dressed up as, I canvassed kids all over the city to see what they’d be wearing.

Here are just a few of the responses. Maybe one of their getups will inspire you.

Lailani, age 9, Etobicoke Lailani: “I’m gonna be a witch.”

Will you be trick-ortreating as a good witch or a bad witch?

Lailani: “That all depends. If the house is in the Halloween spirit, I’ll be as good as can be. But if there isn’t even a pumpkin out front, I’ll make the bad witch in the Wizard of Oz seem like Mary Poppins.”

Mario, 7, North York Mario: “I plan on being be a really big bat.”

Which one?

Mario: “Either Jose Bautista or Edwin Encarnacion.”

BUT SERIOUSLY

Deepti, 5, Etobicoke Deepti: “I’m gonna be a goblin.”

So how do you plan to spend your evening, cutie?

Deepti: “How else? A goblin candy, a goblin chocolates, a goblin cookies, Rice Krispies squares, you name it. Basically, I’ll be a goblin anything I can get my little hands on.”

Chantal, 6, Parkdale Chantal: “I’m going as my idol, Justin.”

The Biebs?

Chantal: “Give me a break. He’s so 2012. I was referring to the Trudes, the next PM.” Shannon, 8, the Beach Shannon: “I’m gonna be Wonder Woman.”

What are your special powers, Wonder Woman?

Shannon: “I’m raising six children, I have a full-time job, I’m general manager of my kids’ local gymnastics

club and I can do a marathon in less than three-anda-half hours.”

Mitchell, 22, York University student, York Mitchell: Well, I usually go as a vampire, or a zombie, or a werewolf, you know somebody that really gives you the creeps. But this year I’ve got my most terrifying outfit yet, one that would even send chills up and down Frankenstein’s spine.

Wow. I wasn’t aware monsters had spines. I must have missed that lecture in university. Anyhow, you’ve got my attention. So, don’t keep me in suspense. What are you going to be?

Mitchell: “The NHL standings.”

What the heck is so scary about the NHL standings?

Mitchell: “The Leafs are in first place.”

Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics?

Not so much. His column appears every Thursday. Contact him at jamie.wayne@sympatico.ca

To the editor: Re: ‘Smoking rules need to be enforceable, measurable,’ Editorial, Oct. 3.

The opinion of The York Guardian seems to be that it is acceptable to enforce the recently proposed nannystate second-hand smoking recommendations because a “smoking ban is for the greater good.”

If that is the criteria for new draconian laws against freedom, perhaps your paper should come out in full support of massive legislation against alcohol consumption as well.

Many lives in Ontario, and indeed globally, are affected by the lingering effects of alcohol.

It would, after all, be for the “greater good.”

Instead of new rules, how about a ban on ridiculous nanny-state laws?

Hair-raising historical incidents in York CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com

W

hile stories of hauntings within the former city of York are difficult to find as ghosts themselves, there are historical incidents that may cause your hairs to rise on end.

In the summer of 1958, there was a “recurring and troublesome matter” that came to the attention of Weston residents. Two skulls and other parts of human skeletons had been discovered at Cruikshank Park.

“The skulls were turned up by mechanical diggers and were soon found by playing children,” reads the front page of the July 31, 1958 edition of the Weston Times and Guide.

Cherri Hurst of the Weston Historical Society found other eyebrow-raising details in her research of Weston’s past.

The skeletons found at Cruickshank Park weren’t the only ones unearthed.

Hurst pointed to a large plot of land in an old black and white photo where the Central United Church, Central King Seniors Residence and part of the existing parking lot is currently located by King Street and Weston Road.

That space used to be a cemetery, which opened as early as 1821 on land that Elizabeth Davis and John Porter granted to the “Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church.” Today, it is known as the Central United Church located at 1 King St. The early pioneer families were buried at that

cemetery. That was until 1919.

Hurst said residents, possibly fearing the threat of disease with the corpses buried so close to the town at the time, had the bodies disinterred and buried on the other side of the Humber River at Riverside Cemetery.

Unfortunately, not all the bodies were accounted for.

In 1956, she continued, during the excavation for the church expansion, the skeletal remains from 40 burial sites were removed and reinterred at Riverside Cemetery with the remaining soil dumped into the Humber River.

Two years later, two human skulls were found by playing children.

Hurst added more remains of 157 individuals were later discovered before the construction of the Central King Seniors Residence two decades ago.

“Even today it is thought that a ‘Plan of the Methodist Cemetery, Weston’ dated 1858, shows there are almost assuredly graves under the parking lot that is there now,” Hurst noted.

“I like to believe that they just did not want to leave. I picture a stubborn pioneer hanging on to the soil as hard as he can, muttering, ‘I am not leaving, I am not leaving.’”

It may be a stretch to believe in ghosts, but some residents have reported supernatural sightings in private York residences, recounting their freaky experiences on the website www.torontoghosts.org/ index.php?/Haunted/TheFormer-City-of-York

One former non-believer of ghosts recalled the story of the “woman in the white dress” who haunted a home near Gunns Road and Keele Street.

Another story was submitted by a former real estate agent who sold a house on Castleton Avenue.

The homeowners moved out after seeing a woman wearing a 1920s style blue dress walk through a wall where there used to be a doorway. The couple who bought the house allegedly saw the same woman walk through the same wall.

But for the most part, ghost tales in York seem to have logical explanations behind them.

“There was a story that Denison Cemetery was haunted,” said Hurst. It was also known as St. John’s Cemetery on the Humber where members of the Denison family are buried.

Lights would mysteriously be seen in the cemetery at night. It turned out those lights were turned on and off by whiskey runners trying to hide their stashes of alcohol.

“Weston was a dry town for a long time.

It was a small town.

You couldn’t get away with stuff,” she said.

And no hauntings have been reported at the building at the corner of Weston Road and Little Avenue where businesses are currently housed.

It’s interesting to note, how-

ever, that the site used to be an undertaker’s parlour, commented local historian Martin Proctor, which links into the history of Ward’s Funeral Home across the street.

“Ward’s took over the undertaking business of J. A. Wight (or Wright) whose business was at the aforementioned site.

He in turn took over from James Gardhouse, who took over from Richard Burling,” Proctor noted.

“We do know that before Cruickshank’s moved into buggy making and later car sales, part of the family in the area were undertakers, and it likely was at that location at Weston Road and Little Avenue (in the late 1850s and early 1860s).”

encounter leads to questions wvideo A video gone viral of a violent subway encounter has led to questions of how the TTC deals with unruly riders.

The short video of the altercation at Davisville station has already attracted thousands of views since it was posted to Facebook late Saturday. It depicts a seemingly inebriated man blocking the subway train doors at Davisville before being confronted by an irate patron.

No TTC staff are seen in the video intervening, but TTC spokesperson Brad Ross’ advice is to avoid confrontations and instead make use of the passenger assistance alarm to summon help.

The TTC also wants its transit enforcement officers to be conferred with special constable status, which would grant them powers of arrest in emergency situations. committee member honoured wTTC

A longtime member of a committee advising the TTC on accessibility issues has received a prestigious

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT honour from the provincial government.

Sam Savona was recently awarded the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship for his efforts as part of the Advisory Committee on Accessible Transit. Savona, who is mobility challenged, was one of eight people to receive the honour from Lt.-Gov. David Onley during a ceremony earlier this month.

Savona was also recognized at the TTC’s board meeting last week. crosstown project nominated for award The Eglinton Crosstown LRT project is in the running for a North American industry prize.

The $4.9-billion project under construction by Metrolinx along Eglinton Avenue is a finalist for Engineering Project of Year, handed out by American infrastructure consulting firm CG/LA. According to a press

w

release, the Crosstown, which was initially delayed following provincial approval in 2009, is lauded by CG/LA for its speed in turning from concept into reality.

Tunneling below Eglinton is already underway east of Black Creek Drive. The awards are to be announced this week during an infrastructure forum in Washington D.C.

MY LIFE

MY MEDICINE is my hope My name is Marie-Claude Park I live in Toronto and I live with Relapsing-Remitting MS

When I was diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting MS in 1997, it was the beginning of a journey into the unknown. The pain I felt as a symptom of the disease was nothing in comparison to the anguish of potentially not being able to take care of my children. Thankfully, I was prescribed a new medication – a pill that alleviated my symptoms and changed my life. Today, my symptoms have gone, I have no pain, no relapses and no fear. www.canadapharma.org/hope

tion... well, Stintz also helped Mayor Ford deliver his first flatline budget by agreeing to service standard rollbacks on the TTC. In that way, one might argue that Stintz created the very problem that she’s now working to solve.

With all that, she still remains a formidable challenger to Mayor Ford, in the fight for the essential centre-right vote.

On Monday, the mayor conceded the election would be “a bloodbath,” because his opponents would no doubt go after him on matters of character, associations, truancy and other “personal matters.”

The mayor is no doubt correct on this count. His behaviour and comportment have assured all those things will be central

questions in his re-election bid.

And Stintz, while certainly haunted by controversies and missteps of her own, has shown herself to be an active and at-times effective leader on council.

In these early days of next year’s fight, that isn’t a bad start.

CONSUMER FEATURE

Autumn is no time for falls Toronto Central CCAC provides seniors with falls prevention tips Trips and falls can happen to anyone, but they happen more often and have more serious effects on older adults. Each year, about one third of Canadian seniors has a fall. Falls can result in serious injuries, including broken bones. This, in turn, can lead to hospitalization, a loss of independence and in some cases, may even lead to death.

These effects on individuals can be devastating, but there are also serious effects to our healthcare system: each year about $1 billion is spent caring for seniors who have fallen.

But falls are NOT an unavoidable part of aging. Older adults can take control of their lives, and work with their family doctor and other healthcare professionals to avoid most falls.

Dizziness is one common reason for falls. One cause can be medications. Changing the type, dose or timing of a medication can make a big difference – but only with the agreement of one’s pharma-

cist or family doctor. Another cause of dizziness can be low blood sugar – making sure to eat healthy meals and snacks throughout the day is important. Low blood pressure can also be a cause. This may be related to medication, but it can also be caused by dehydration. Making sure to drink water throughout the day can be a simple way to improve low blood pressure.

Poor balance can often be improved with gentle exercises or assistive devices like walkers or canes. Installing – and using – hand rails on steps and in bathrooms can

also be a big help.

Avoiding trips and slips can mean keeping pathways clear inside and outside the home. Remove small rugs and ensure outside steps and walks are shovelled and salted in the winter. Having good lighting is important, including night lights.

Toronto Central CCAC (Community Care Access Centre) assists people to stay at home longer and safely.

The CCAC can provide an occupational therapist or physiotherapist to help with these and other falls prevention steps.

Fall prevention tips for seniors: • Wear your glasses and hearing aids • Get rid of clutter on your floors and stairs • Wear proper footwear that provides good support.

Don’t wear loose slippers or socks • Focus on one task at a time • Be careful when getting up

Willemien Stanger Manager, Client Services

from a chair or bed • Stay physically active.

Speak to your doctor before beginning an exercise program • Have regular check-ups with your doctor,and regular eye and hearing exams.

• Pets like to stay close – be careful not to trip over your pet dog or cat.
