A provincially funded program that saw extra police officers deployed in York South-Weston over the summer came to an end with a community celebration at Nelson A. Boylen Collegiate last Thursday.

The Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy (TAVIS) initiative kicked off in early June with 24 additional police constables and four staff sergeants to provide extra community safety.

“Just because the money stops doesn’t mean the policing will stop,” assured 12 Division Insp.

Scott Gilbert.

While the initiative began with law enforcement, officers also took time to connect and better engage with residents from youths to seniors.

He listed several neighbourhood events the police attended this past summer including Neighbours Night Out on Elm Street, the weekend farmers’ market in Weston, and Rookie Ball games hosted by >>>police, page 2

Police form partnerships with youth in York >>>from page 1 Toronto Community Housing and the Toronto Blue Jays.

The TAVIS team along with the Jane Street Probation Office continued to give back to youth at the celebration event by distributing 40 backpacks filled with school supplies to selected needy families.

“It was a great summer.

We made a lot of great longlasting friends,” added Staff Sgt. Joanne Rudnick, noting TAVIS was all about working collaboratively with the community.

“We’re not going to tell you what to do. We’re going to help you with what you want to do.”

Both community leaders and local dignitaries

applauded the police officers for their work since June.

“I must say TAVIS has been instrumental this summer,” said Joel Reid, Frontlines youth co-ordinator, who helped young leaders work alongside police officers on such community initiatives as the soccer camp and beautification projects.

“It’s truly been a partner-

ship.”

Ricardo Araujo, who grew up near Keele Street and Eglinton Avenue and is currently studying to be a police officer at Seneca College, came back to help youth forge better relationships with the police through the graffiti eradication program.

“It meant a lot to some of the youth to share a paint-

Buses begin their journey to Ecuador FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com

T

wo decommissioned TTC Wheel-Trans buses began their journey to Ecuador last Thursday to help with seniors’ transportation needs, and Father Hernán Astudillo will be there when they arrive in the South American country.

The buses were donated to foundation Friends of Ecuador, which called on Astudillo, priest of San Lorenzo Anglican Church, to see to their delivery through his Caravan of Hope.

Astudillo, along with two TTC mechanics and several other people, left the Dufferin Street and Lawrence Avenue church last week with the buses and make their way to New Jersey.

After a brief rest, the group con-

We choose the poorest communities to help.

We know the needs of these communities.

– Father Hernán Astudillo

tinued to Baltimore, where the buses will be shipped to Ecuador and expected to arrive within 20 to 30 days.

The buses will then be delivered to communities of Salinas and Ona, which will help the elderly get to hospitals and other appointments, Astudillo said.

“We chose these communities because they are very poor,” he said.

“We choose the poorest communities to help. We know the needs of these communities.”

Noting residents rely on their

water supply from wells and the agriculture is dire, Astudillo said the buses will give seniors opportunity to travel from their homes for medical and other care.

“It’s a real miracle,” he said, adding the municipalities in Ecuador will be responsible for maintaining and operating the buses.

“When the buses get there, I personally will go, and share pictures (with the congregation) to show how wonderful this is.”

Astudillo, who was born in El Valle, Cuenca, Ecuador, and witnessed first-hand the poverty plaguing the country, began the Caravan of Hope in 2001 following earthquakes in El Salvador.

Since then, he has seen dozens of buses and ambulances, some filled with much

needed medical supplies, be sent to Central and South American countries.

“Every year we pick a different country to help out,” he said, adding another TTC WheelTrans bus and two ambulances with supplies will be sent to Salinas and Ona at a later date.

Stuart Gilchrist, manager of the Lakeshore garage for the TTC, said it’s common for nonprofit groups to approach the TTC about decommissioned buses.

“They let me know what the intent is and then I look for the best candidate,” he said, adding 70 buses were decommissioned last year to make way for a new fleet.

14-year-old charged with manslaughter A 14-year-old was charged Tuesday with manslaughter in the shooting death of 16-year-old Yusuf Tifow at an apartment building in York on Sunday.

The accused, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was scheduled to make a court appearance yesterday at 10 a.m. at 2201 Finch Ave., west of Weston Road.

Just before midnight on Sunday, police responded to a shooting call at an apartment building at 2240 Weston Rd., north of Lawrence Avenue, according to a statement from Toronto police.

The victim was found with an obvious gunshot wound and was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police are thanking members of the community for coming forward with “extremely useful information” after the shooting.

“This enabled investigators to lay charges in less than 48 hours,” police said in the statement.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).

Wanted: a proper discussion on cycling

J

umping on your bicycle and hitting the streets of Toronto has become a complicated issue. It gets the backs up of both cyclists and motorists.

Each side has complaints about the other: cyclists disobey the rules of the road; motorists don’t look out for cyclists. This kind of two-way antagonism helps no one, it only fuels fires that seem easily sparked.

There has been much cycling talk lately. The city’s chief planner, Jennifer Keesmaat, teamed up with Cycle Toronto and took the cycling discussion on the road – on her bike. Using hydro corridors to allow for dedicated cycling, and of course dedicated bike lanes across the city all deserve listening to.

On the heels of a study by University of Toronto PhD student Adrian Verster, who created a list of 50 dangerous intersections for cyclists in the city, a discussion on how to best implement cycling in Toronto is needed. And quickly.

The supposed ‘war on the car our view / bicycle’ needs to stop. It serves no one. And with the city’s popuIntegrated lation growing quickly, cycling cycling plan will become an ever-increasing mode of transportation for many a must people.

Not surprisingly, the most dangerous intersections to cycle in the city are located in the old city of Toronto – on Bloor and Queen streets. However, there are dangerous intersections for cyclists across the city, including Rogers Road at Nairn Avenue in York (#14).

If news reports prove anything, it is that there is always the chance you can get hurt – even killed – while riding your bike. It doesn’t matter where you ride your bike.

Ontario Minister of Transportation Glen Murray announced on Friday the province’s 20-year vision for cycling, with the goal to make Ontario the number one province for cycling in Canada. This ambitious goal will need funding, dedication, and a clear vision tailored to each city across Ontario. A cookie-cutter approach will not work.

The entirety of Toronto City Council is not expected to meet until October, but they are all back to work after Labour Day, including local community council meetings set for Sept. 10.

Torontonians should not shy away from pushing for a proper, integrated cycling plan for the city.

It’s been long discussed, much maligned, and often ignored. Councillors in the downtown core raise the issue often, but this should not be another downtown versus suburbs discussion.

Getting down with school terminology

W

ell moms and dads, how would you grade yourself in the helping out with the homework department now that the new school year has started?

And be honest now.

If you’ve got little ones new to the school system, no doubt a solid “A” is in order. We can all still hold our own with that group, I’m pretty sure. Alas, if you’ve got older kids, chances are you’re looking farther down the alphabet.

A lot farther. Likely with a telescope.

It has nothing to do with the curriculum getting more and more advanced, either. It’s being confronted once again with the same terminology we struggled with when we were that age. It was tough enough to understand a lot of the words and phrases they were giving us when we were seeing them every day. What chance do we have now of figuring

2. The value of Pi. The ability to turn even the blandest piece of ice cream into a mouth-watering delicacy.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION MEETINGS NOISE WALL DESIGNS – HAVE YOUR SAY! GO Transit would like your input on the design of the Georgetown South (GTS) Project noise walls being built in your neighbourhood. Be a part of shaping one of the major projects of Metrolinx’s regional transportation plan, The Big Move.

Since 2011, we have been consulting with the communities along the corridor about our noise mitigation plan. Last year we began recruiting members from eight segments of the corridor to be a part of Community Advisory Committees (CAC). These committees have brought together residents, business owners, community associations and elected representatives to discuss how the wall designs can be integrated into the existing neighbourhood landscape.

Since April 2013, we have held over 24 meetings with CAC members along the GTS corridor. Design concepts have been developed based on ideas and concerns brought forward by the CAC members.

In September, we will be hosting four public meetings for you and your neighbours to tell us what you think about the design concepts. The meetings will take place in four different neighbourhoods representing the eight CACs along the GTS corridor.

Please join us and have your voice heard.

The Ontario Soccer Association holds its Ontario Cup championship games over the next two weekends – Sept. 7 and 8, and Sept. 14 and 15 – and Toronto has three youth and one adult team that has qualified.

• Locally, the Weston Wolves play in the U-15 boys tier two final against the Thunder Bay Chill on Saturday, Sept. 14, 5:30 p.m. The Weston Wolves won its semifinal 6-2 over Vaughan Azzurri; Other Toronto teams include: Toronto High Park FC, playing in the U-16 boys tier two final

At each meeting there will be a presentation beginning at 6:30 p.m. to present the noise wall design concepts specific to the areas listed below.

You will also have the opportunity to view the designs for the entire GTS Project corridor.

Black Creek Drive to Lawrence Avenue Thursday, September 12 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Learning Enrichment Foundation 1267 Weston Road

Lansdowne Avenue to St.Clair Avenue West Tuesday, September 17 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The Lithuanian House 1573 Bloor Street West

Bathurst Street to Lansdowne Avenue Thursday, September 19 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Presentation Centre 901 King Street West

If you are unable to attend one of these meetings, you can view the concepts online at gotransit.com/gts or still have your say by dropping by any of our three community offices, e-mailing gts@gotransit.com or calling 416-581-1300. The public feedback period will run from September 10 to October 2, 2013.
