Scarborough councillors accepted a Cockburn Drive woman can keep her “natural” home garden, though some said neighbourhood landscap-ing “standards” should be protected too.

Annemarie Leepel said her free-dom of expression includes the right not to have grass, and though her garden is called “unruly,” it’s no threat to people’s health.

In fact, her garden with goldenrod and other flowering plants is less unfriendly to health than most lawns, Leepel told Scarborough Community Council on Wednesday.

Neighbours complaiNed

“Grass is the main cause of hay fever,” she said, but allowed that neighbours who complained about her garden to the city “have a dif-ferent taste.”

Leepel’s bid for natural garden status – an exemption to the city bylaw requiring long grass and wild plants in yards be cut – appeared to be in trouble last month.

An inspector from the city’s Municipal Licensing and Standards department delivered a violation notice to Leebel and recommended to the community councillors her application be refused.

Pa t r i c i a L a n d r y, a Pa r k s Department employee, found the garden was growing over the side-walk and contained the invasive weeds thistle, prickly lettuce, pig-

A neighbourhood in northeast Scarborough is helping fill a need this month with its unique Fall Food Drive – one that makes house calls.

Rather than rely on drop-off locations, the Rosewood Taxpayers’

Association is canvassing its neigh-bourhood in person each week-end.

“As much as I believe that a soci-ety should not require food banks and food drives, the reality is that some Torontonians go hungry and

taxpayers’ associations and similar organizations are institutionally situated to make a significant dif-ference,” Courtney Fisher, RTA’s president, said this week.

To make that difference, though, groups have to be willing to redefine

their roles and collect, he said.Judging by “impressive results”

during the drive’s first weekend, Fisher said the association should be able to gather 1,000 items for the Agincourt Community Services

GOODBYE BEACH FAIRWAY GOLF

Beach Fairway Golf Range, at 411 Victoria Park Ave. at Gerrard Street has been a land-mark in the area and held its final day of play on Thanksgiving Monday. The 3.2 hect-are parcel of land was once home to the Toronto Brick Company in the 1930s where the company quarried on the land. The land was then used as a landfill site. Beach Fairway Golf Range is set to be razed and transformed into a development site. Brian Jacobsen and Kim Holman have owned and operated the range since 1999. Build Toronto has proposed developent including mixed retail, residential and park lands. At this time, no development leases or transactions have been completed.

Transit. Transit. Transit.The news has been filled with transit stories of

late: funding options for Toronto transit, a transit union public awareness campaign, and earlier this week the advocacy group Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance asked residents ‘What would you do with 32’ extra minutes each day, if the province’s $50-billion Big Move transportation plan is completed?

CivicAction’s Wednesday campaign launch goes beyond Toronto’s borders to include the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). It not only asks residents to participate in the campaign, but it demands a real transportation vision for the entire region.

Alas, nothing is free in this world and $50 billion is a lot of money to not just spend, but more importantly find in the Province of Ontario’s ever-shrinking coffers.

Granted, it amounts to only $2 billion a year for 25 years. Seems possible, but it would take the conviction of Premier Dalton McGuinty’s government – already facing a significant budget shortfall – to put up mean-ingful funding. And that’s a challenge.

CivicAction estimates the average commute for residents in the GTHA, if the Big Move were not com-pleted, would increase from 77 to 109 minutes – a loss of 32 minutes to one’s day.

Thankfully, the 32 Minutes campaign isn’t about advocating one type of transit solution over the other, but simply asks a very real question: “What we are will-ing to do to make sure new transit gets built,” said the group’s chair, John Tory, after the launch.

Closer to home and added to the Big Move, Toronto itself is faced with the challenge of funding a transit system that needs to significantly expand to meet the needs of the city.

As our Oct. 4 editorial – ‘Toronto will get the transit it pays for’ – stated succinctly: taxpayers across the GTHA will have to face the reality that what you pay for – or don’t – is what you get.

We encourage everyone to tell us how you would spend 32 extra minutes in your day and participate in the CivicAction campaign by visiting www.your32.com

It’s important this conversation be kept alive. The idea of having people reflect on those extra 32 minutes a day should engage comment, along with highlighting the very real toll congestion is taking on our lives. If we fail to act, the problems of today’s commuters will get much worse in the future.

How would you spend an extra 32 minutes?

our VieWIt’s important to participate in campaign

To the editor:I would like to comment

on what is being destroyed by Build Toronto beside the Quarry Lands on Victoria Park Avenue at Gerrard Street.

Not only is a huge chunk of land going to be rede-veloped with high-density housing, but for some reason they feel they need to also destroy the driving range and mini putt facility that is there.

The Thanksgiving week-end was the last before that facility is shut down for good and turned into high-density housing and retail stores.

The business that is there now is the perfect thing for that property because of the busy rail corridor it borders.

Trains rumble by every 10 minutes or less because it is the main east/west line for GO trains, Via trains and freight.

I guess it will be a “buyer beware” situation for the new homes that line the railway track.

To the editor:Re: ‘Decision on Jarvis

bike lanes a step backwards,’ Guest column, Oct. 4.

I learned a lot from Joe Cooper’s column in support of bike lanes.

Mainly, if you want to distract folks from the ele-phant in the room, include a bunch of historical facts that have little to do with reality in the 21st century.

The elephant is this: for decades, Jarvis Street has been a successful five-lane major artery that links midtown and the north end of the city to the downtown core.

Based on a number of studies, it moves around 28,000 cars in and out of the downtown core during rush hour each day.

When ex-mayor David Miller and his lefty bud-dies on council arbitrarily decided to screw up this major artery by exchang-ing the centre lane for bike

lanes, Miller stated this would add only a couple of minutes to the drive time for those who use the artery daily.

It is important to under-stand that this extra two minutes is not “drive” time, it is actually idling time, due to the added conges-tion caused by taking away the centre lane.

Any good environmen-talist knows that the worst type of pollution belch-ing from the tailpipes of vehicles occurs when they are idling, not when they are moving.

Based on Miller’s own estimate, this means that 28,000 vehicles are stuck idling an extra two minutes daily during their drive into and out of the downtown core.

That adds up to 1,800 hours of additional vehicle idling time on Jarvis every day of the work week. Not very environmentally

friendly, now is it?“But the bike lanes will

make driving on Jarvis (and other routes) so miserable for car drivers it will force them all onto bicycles or the TTC,” one might argue.

Sure, bike lanes might convince a few dozen or maybe even a few hundred car drivers who live close to work to leave their cars at home during the warm, dry months, but the majority are not going to be talked out of their vehicles so easily.

Consider this: if the outrageous cost of gasoline and insurance have done little to nothing to get people out of their vehicles, an extra two minutes idling down Jarvis certainly isn’t going to.

Another glaring issue with bike lanes is how they are used, or actually not used, during the winter months.

During the winter, those

bike lanes become snow storage lanes. Prior to the addition of bike lanes, the city was forced to clear snow off the roads in a timely manner.

Not any more, not with unused bike lanes available to park that snow. I expe-rienced this first-hand on Pharmacy Avenue during the past couple of winters.

Cooper ends his article “blaming” the Mayor Rob Ford administration for spending money to return Jarvis back to its original role as a major artery, but the fact is, Miller should have left Jarvis alone to begin with.

Bike lanes absolutely do have a place on the streets of this great city.

However, their location must be planned out with care, to ensure no major vehicle arteries in and out of the city are impacted.

Blanche Shmidt, left, and Jean Hoult, members of the Scarborough Collegiate class of 1947, look at yearbooks during the class’ 65th annual reunion at The School restaurant in Markham.

ANGELINE MAIR [email protected]

Every October a group of “girls” get together to celebrate their gradua-tion year, which was 65 years ago this month.

The graduating class of 1947 from Scarborough Collegiate Institute met Wednesday at The School restaurant in Markham to remember days gone past and celebrate the sisterhood that was fused decades ago.

What was late 1940s high school like in Scarborough? “I guess it is like every other teenager growing up. We certainly had lots of fun at school,” said class graduate Jean Hoult.

The 82 year old remembers fondly her whole class skipping school one afternoon and going to see Gone with the Wind downtown. “And everyone of us was called to the principal’s office the next day.”

She could not remember what the punishment was, but said it was most likely a talking to.

It wasn’t easy attending what was the only high school in Scarborough at the time, either, she said.

“I was bused in from Pharmacy and Danforth area to Scarborough Collegiate. I had to take the bus there and the bus home. It came across the

Danforth out to the school.”She said there were about four

girls who got on the bus in her area “where we went from there I don’t remember —— but it was a full bus by the time we got to school.”

What keeps these seniors coming back each year? The wise words of a their high school home room teacher Miss Alice Carnaghar’s, Hoult said.

The teacher felt that the group should always get together because, Hoult said, “we got along so great

and always had so much fun together that we should keep doing it every year. And we have”.

Carnaghar attended the annual events until she passed away in 1983.

There were only 800 students at Scarborough Collegiate and Hoult’s class totaled 22 students. “We did get 12 yesterday (Wednesday) – antici-pated getting 14 – but only 12 came and that’s a pretty good number, considering 22 were the graduating number.”

A woman wanted in connection with the murder of aspiring hip-hop artist Anthony Spencer has turned herself in to police.

Police had alleged the woman was “in the company of the two accused at the time of the murder.”

Spencer, 23, was gunned down while record-ing music with friends in a basement studio at 799 Brimley Rd. in the early hours of Jan. 21.

He was driven to The Scarborough Hospital’s General campus where he was pronounced dead. Spencer, also known as Tony Trapz, lived in Scarborough and had several rap videos posted on YouTube.

On Oct. 1, Samuel Paul, 23, was arrested at

the Toronto West Detention Centre. He faces charges, including first-degree murder, robbery while armed with a firearm and two counts of failing to comply with a recognizance.

Chever Ashley, 22, was arrested the same day at the Toronto East Detention Centre. He faces charges, including robbery while armed with a firearm, accessory after the fact to murder, possession of a firearm and obstructing a peace officer.

LaPrincia Palmer, 19, of Mississauga, turned herself in to police at 33 Division at 1:30 a.m. yesterday.

She is charged with robbery while armed with a firearm and attempt obstruct justice.

n Day care celebration slatedSt. Crispin’s Day Care is back and wants to celebrate with the community.

The non-profit facility, established by mem-bers of the Craiglee Drive church in 1977, was homeless for a few months this year after Toronto’s Anglican diocese put the church up for sale.

St. Crispin’s re-opened in May, however, and hosts a community fall festival at its new loca-tion in Highway Gospel Church, 530 Midland Ave., tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Fewer than one in five women treated for breast cancer choose breast reconstruction surgery, says The Scarborough Hospital, which wants to make them aware of their options at presentations next week.

Wednesday, Oct. 17, is Breast Reconstruction Awareness (BRA) Day, and plastic surgeons at the hospital will answer questions on reconstruction surgeries including a micro reconstruction technique TSH considers the “gold standard

of care.”“We are the only community

hospital in Ontario to offer this type of reconstruction to women,” plastic and reconstruction surgeon Dr. Sarah Wong said in a release this week.

The free information session and tea party for women will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. in the Lee Family Auditorium at the hospital’s General campus at Lawrence Avenue and McCowan Road.

Presentations will be made in

English, Cantonese and Tamil, and free parking will be provided, the hospital said.

weed, garlic mustard and Manitoba maple.

These would have to be removed and the garden pruned and main-tained before it could qualify, she wrote in a report. “Ongoing mainte-nance and upkeep is essential.”

On Wednesday, though, came word the noxious weeds were gone, the plants were trimmed, and Landry had approved Leepel’s “natural garden” exemption.

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but some of Leepel’s neighbours had been concerned, said Ron Moeser, the local council-lor, who saw the property earlier this month before the trimming.

Moeser concluded he wouldn’t want to live next door, adding though councillors appeared to have no choice about the matter, exemp-tion standards for Toronto’s natural gardens seemed “subjective.”

The issue may gain more promi-nence next month, when a city com-mittee gets a report on revising the bylaw.

Mike Del Grande, representing Agincourt, said he’d like staff to include the “right to conform to a neighbourhood standard” in that report.

People tend to conform to behav-iour around them, such as expecting grass to be cut, he said.

If there are no standards, argued Del Grande, people can start asking for more exemptions, saying, “What’s the big deal about one chicken?”

Neighbours on either side of Leepel must be “livid,” he said.

“I would be totally unhappy living next door. You’ve just discounted their property values.”

Leepel later said she gradually turned her lawns natural after moving into her home near Port Union Road 19 years ago.

Grubs killed much of her grass, she said, and “the raccoons helped to remove the rest.”

Instead of replanting grass, she planted flowers, including cosmos and Chinese lantern. Leepel said she knows her garden plants, which don’t need watering, have to be trimmed back two or three times a year.

A hip replacement last year and this summer’s heat limited her time working in the garden, she admitted, but also said her neighbourhood isn’t a gated community which can dictate gardening standards.

Another councillor, Glenn De Baeremaeker, called Leepel’s garden “wild and wonderful and chaotic” but suggested some neighbours may worry legitimately about pests emerging from there. If it’s kept trimmed back and organized, maybe neighbours won’t complain, he said, adding natural gardens “are not a blank cheque.”

Association Food Bank.He said other neighbour-

hood groups can follow the same model.

Canvassers, including teenagers earning community service credits, will meet Saturdays and Sundays at

Alexmuir Public School on Alexmuir Boulevard at 3 p.m.

The association says they will be supervised at all times by adults, wear identification badges, travel in pairs, and are instructed not to knock on doors with “no soliciting” messages.

Call for Chartwelltraffic lights approvedScarborough Community Council has approved new traffic signals on the west and east sides of the expanding Chartwell Shopping Centre as part of an arrangement with the mall’s developer.

New signals will be placed on Brimley Road south of Huntingwood Drive, where a shopping centre entrance faces a private driveway and a public trail along East Highland Creek through North Agincourt Park, community councillors decided on Wednesday.

TTC bus stops on Brimley are just south of the trail and driveway.

Signals will also be installed at Huntingwood and Commander Boulevard, though a pedestrian

crossover at Dibgate Boulevard and Huntingwood will be removed because it is too close to the new set of lights.

All the improvements were judged necessary and are being paid for by the developer “to improve public safety while mitigating development impacts,” a report said.

Toronto Council, which must also approve the signals, rejected an application by First Capital Asset Management in 2009 to reconstruct part of the shopping centre and expand it into industrial building space on Commander, but the Ontario Municipal Board allowed the plans to proceed.

From time to time a report comes from Toronto City Hall on an issue that cries for solution. To respect the

complexity of a problem, council sets up a task force, and provides enough time and resources to examine the options.

In return, the public and council expect solid recommendations. But after the fanfare and media availability, when the details are examined, comes the realization that the final report does little.

Unfortunately council’s attempt to respond to the maintenance backlog in our public housing in the report “Putting

People First” falls into this category. It will probably gather dust rather than spur action.

Which is too bad, because we Torontonians have a problem.

Not only are we a landlord to around 164,000 residents in 2,200 buildings, but we also own a backlog of repairs that stands at about $750 million, that is growing by at least $90 million per year.

So far, about 400 units are unfit for habitation. As the unfunded repair backlog balloons, there is a very real risk that more of our public housing stock will be less safe,

less rentable and certainly more undesir-able.

In response, the Toronto Community Housing board recommended selling about 700 higher value single-family houses to generate “at least $222 million” for repairs.

A firestorm of protest greeted the pro-posal. Critics said the sale would reduce the housing portfolio, increase income polarization, ruin tenants’ lives, and take the pressure from the federal and provin-cial governments.

Without either side able to take control or draft a compromise, council deferred the problem to a working group.

Aware that council was indecisive, the working group could do little other than recycle cliches. Finally, it selected ideas based on pain avoidance rather than effec-tiveness.

In response to the key issue of selling 619 single family houses, the report recom-mended selling less than 10 per cent of

those units. In addition came a suggestion to offer perhaps another 15 per cent of those homes to tenants. The rest of the report was filled with the usual recommen-dations to issue more debt, to again look at creative financing and intensification, plus it took up the municipal mantra for more federal and provincial money.

Like most reports, this one skirted uncomfortable realities.

For example, a review of “the full range of public private partnerships,” that might have included contracting out or privatiz-ing was watered down to “pursuing invest-ment opportunities.”

As well, the report could have made explicit the unpleasant truth that the majority of our public housing stock is in good enough condition so that strong medicine can be pushed off.

Even on smaller issues the report chose to steer away from decisions that could seriously reduce the problem.

If the goal of the report was to hide an embarrassing climb down, and defer dif-ficult decisions, then the report was a suc-cess.

But if the goal was to address the issue of how to turn-around the increasingly poor state of Toronto’s public housing stock, the report could have been much better.

The search foryour dream home

Real estateReal estate

These days, many first time home buyers are learn-ing to bite their tongue as they look for help with fi-nances real estate agents agree that young couples and adult children looking to purchase property are receiving more help from their parents – both financial and otherwise – than ever before.

And since both parties have a say in the purchase,

real estate agents are working harder to ensure properties appeal to varying age groups. As more parents accompany their adult children to view-ings, homes must be strategically staged to please everyone involved. This boils all the way down to the paint colour on the walls.

When it comes down to it, winning this war is

easier than imagined for the new home buyers, says W Network's My House Your Money real estate agent, Helene Baguley.

“In the past, parents have always tried to help their kids, if financially capable. Now, it seems the parents are expected to ‘help’ – more like ‘finance’ – their children’s dream homes. The rationale for chil-

dren is that they have been accustomed to living a wealthy lifestyle and the thought of downsizing or downgrading is implausible. Most parents or ex-tended family members, even if they are providing the down payment, want to see their kids happy at all costs.”

Fall isn't just a great time to reconnect with family and friends after the summer, it's the perfect opportunity to support a great cause like the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF), especially in October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

With Cook for the Cure, presented by KitchenAid, you can combine entertaining with fundraising. Whether it's an intimate dinner or full-� edged family a� air, you can turn your fall gathering into a Cook for the Cure party by asking your guests to make a donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in place of traditional hostess

Cook, entertain, and fundraise together

breastcancerawarenessmonthnational

gifts. Register your party online at www.cookforthecure.ca and KitchenAid will donate $50 to help the cause.

“Cook for the Cure parties help me share my love and passion for food with my friends and family while supporting a great cause,” says world-renowned chef Lynn Crawford.

To help you get into the spirit and host your own Cook for the Cure party here's how you can add some fall � air with an autumn inspired menu.

Pumpkins: Nothing says fall like a pumpkin pie straight from the oven, but there is more to pumpkins than just pie. Why not try pumpkin soup, which makes a delicious appetizer and can be pre-pared in advance and heated up when needed. As an added bonus, pumpkins are also great for you, since they contain carotenoids that help reduce the risk of cancer.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon is an ingredi-ent in many delicious fall recipes, but why not make cinnamon the star. Cinna-mon cookies can be a delicious dessert

or party favour for your guests, while re-minding them of their favourite fall reci-pes. Whip up a batch with a KitchenAid stand mixer the day before your party, and your guests are sure to come back for more.

Apples: Host an apple picking party, which is a great way to get outdoors and

bond with your guests. Once you have your bushel head back to your place to cook up something delicious with your loot - apple pies, apple cider, applesauce, the possibilities are endless.

Early detection of breast cancer can im-prove survival rates and lessen the sever-ity of treatment options. Routine mam-mograms are essential to catching signs of breast cancer early on but so can home-based breast exams.

For those who are interested in self-ex-ams, here is the proper way to do so.� Begin with a visual inspection of the

breasts. Remove clothing and stand in front of a mirror. Turn and pivot so the

breasts can be seen at all angles. Make a note of your breasts’ appearance. Pay special attention to any dimpling, puck-ering or oddness in the appearance of the skin. Check to see if there is any change in symmetry or size.

� Continue the examination with hands placed by the hips and then again with your hands elevated overhead with your palms pressed together.

� Next you will move on to a physical

examination. To begin examining the breasts, place the hand and arm for the breast you will be examining behind your head. Use the pads of your pointer, middle and ring � ngers to push and massage at the breast in a clockwise motion. Begin at the outer portion of the breast, slowly working inward in a circular motion until you are at the nipple. Be sure to also check the tissue under the breast and by the armpit.

� Do the same process on the opposite breast. Note if there are any di� erences from one breast to the other.If you � nd any abnormalities, mark

them down on an illustration that you can bring to the doctor. It is a good idea to conduct a BSE once a month and not when menstruating, when breasts may change due to hormone � uctuation. Fre-quent examinations will better acquaint you with what is normal with your breasts and better help you recognize if some-thing feels abnormal.

Can breast cancer be prevented?Oftentimes, individuals diagnosed with some form of cancer ask themselves and their physicians, “Could I have done something to prevent this?”

Women who are concerned about breast cancer also may wonder if they can prevent this potentially deadly disease, wondering if there is a pill, a vitamin or another method to keep-ing the cancer at bay.

Unfortunately, there is no guaran-teed way to prevent breast cancer. However, there are many different steps to take that may help reduce the risk for cancer or increase the odds that if breast cancer is pres-ent, it can be found at a more treatable stage.

There is no exact cause of breast cancer, but many experts agree that certain lifestyle choices as well as genetics can increase an individual’s risk.

A woman’s risk also increases as she ages. When a woman is in her 30s, her risk of developing breast cancer is roughly 4 out of 1,000.

By the time she reaches her 60s, that risk has increased to 37 out of 1,000. Though women can’t reverse the ag-ing process, they can gain a greater understanding of additional risk factors for breast cancer and follow medical guidelines concerning breast cancer screenings.� Family history: Having a sister,

mother, daughter or two or more close relatives with a history of breast cancer increases a woman’s risk, particularly if these diagno-ses were made when the relatives were under the age of 50. Such women should begin testing for breast cancer at an early age.

� Personal history: If you’ve already experienced cancer in one breast or another part of your body, you

are at an increased risk of getting cancer again. Breast cancer can turn up in the other breast or even in the same breast as before.

� Inheritance of genetic mutations: Individuals with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are much more likely to get breast cancer, says the Na-tional Cancer Insti-tute. The risk also increases for colon or ovar-ian cancer. In normal cells, BRCA1 and B R C A 2 help en-sure the stability of the cell’s genetic ma-terial and help prevent uncontrolled cell growth. Mutation of these genes has been linked to the development of hereditary breast and ovarian can-cer. A simple blood test and a ge-n e t i c work-up c a n point o u t m u -t a -t i o n s in these i m -p o r t a n t genes.

� Race: Although Caucasian women are more likely to get breast can-cer than black, Hispanic or Asian women, black women typically are more susceptible to an aggressive

type of breast cancer called basal-like tumor. Limited

access to healthcare can also increase the

risk of cancer fatality regardless of race.� C h i l d -

bearing age: Women who

first gave birth after age 30 have a greater chance of d e v e l o p -ing breast cancer than women who

had children before reach-

ing 30 years of age. Women

who have never had children are

also at a higher risk. Women who breast

feed lower their risk for breast cancer.� H o r -

mones: Wom-en with a

longer span of “high-

estrogen y e a r s ” a r e more at risk for

b r e a s t c a n -

cer. This i n c l u d e s

w o m e n

who had their first menstrual cycle prior to age 12 and wom-en who still were experienc-ing menopause after age 55. Anyone undergoing hormone-re-placement therapy or participat-ing in estrogen-raising therapies also has a higher risk of develop-ing breast cancer.While many of these factors are out of your control, there are other risk factors that you can control.

� Alcohol consumption: Avoiding or limiting alcohol consumption can lower your risk for breast cancer. Drinking alcohol has been traced to higher estrogen levels in the body.

� Obesity: Being overweight can also increase risk of developing breast cancer.

� Inactivity: Failure to exercise can increase your risk. That’s because regular exercise and a healthy diet contribute to the body’s de-fense system, ensuring it is more capable of fending off disease.

� Tobacco products: Use of ciga-rettes, cigars or chewing tobacco increases your risk for many dif-ferent cancers.

� Infrequent doctor visits: Routine physical check-ups by a general doctor or one who specializes in women’s health can make the dif-ference between an early breast cancer diagnosis, for which treat-ment is highly successful, or late-stage diagnosis, which is not as easily treated. Those who do not go for screenings put themselves at an elevated risk.Breast cancer cannot be prevent-

ed, but there are many methods to reducing risk factors associated with the disease.

416.493.4400Toronto Shop Talk is hosted by Toronto Community News,publisher of your award-winning community newspaper.

City

DAVID NICKLE [email protected]

Toronto and East York Community Council heard from more than 40 people on the pros and cons of allowing a casino resort to locate in the downtown area Wednesday night.

And for the most part at the public hearing held in council chambers at Toronto City Hall, they focussed on the cons.

“When I talk to my constituents in my riding, it’s very clear they reject the idea of a casino out of hand,” said New Democrat MPP Peter Tabuns, who kicked off the marathon public hearing by telling councillors he estimates 70 per cent of the riding want nothing to do with a casino resort in the city.

Meeting’s legality questioned

Tabuns and others whose deputa-tions were particularly concerned with the idea of locating a casino in the port lands — one of several downtown locations that Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation is said to be contemplating.

Community council members held the consultation to the con-sternation of other city councillors

in favour of bringing a casino in to Toronto.

York West Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti arrived at the consul-tation early, to tell reporters he believed the meeting was “illegal,” in that the Toronto and East York Community Council would not in the end be the one making a deci-sion on the location of a casino in its boundaries.

The local planning committee, he said, would be superceded by Mayor Rob Ford’s executive committee and Toronto Council.

But the meeting continued. Community councillors heard

from a handful of deputations in favour of casinos — including several unions representing gaming indus-try and hospitality workers — and

the Canadian Gaming Association’s Chief Executive Officer Bill Rutsey, who had that afternoon launched a new website for his organization, www.torontocasinofacts.ca

Rutsey said the committee needed to “get the facts,” and agreed with OLG numbers suggesting a casino resort would bring 12,000 jobs into the city, paying on average $50,000 a year.

And he said the predictions “of blight” from casinos in a city don’t come to pass.

CriMe ConCerns

“Reliable research shows that the development of casinos have no effect or positive effect on surround-ing businesses,” he said. “Review all the facts and make a reasoned decision. You’ll find the fears that have been raised do not come to pass.”

Most other deputants weren’t so sure.

Lakefront resident Margaret van Dijk, quipped, “the jobs they’re most likely to bring is crime.”

Jason Applebaum, a self-con-fessed compulsive gambler, said casinos proximate to a major popu-lation centre like Toronto will be a dangerous lure for problem gam-

blers like himself.In the end, councillors voted to

ask for more reports on issues such as transportation, and the impact the casino would have on the horser-acing industry.

Trinity-Spadina Councillor Adam Vaughan questioned the statistics being used to pitch a casino.

“There used to be a saying in the newsrooms I worked in: when you’ve got round numbers, you’ve got hollow arguments,” he said.

“Until we have those numbers in real time, it’s just corporate por-nography.”

Toronto-Danforth Councillor Mary Fragedakis said the city shouldn’t rely on a casino to solve its problems.

“I’m not sure we need to gamble on a casino,” she said. “I think we’re better to devote our resources to build on our strengths.”

Only Davenport Councillor Ana Bailao appeared open to the pos-sibility of a casino in the downtown core.

“We’ve got to keep an open mind,” she said.

“It bothers me when we say a casino is taking money from our most vulnerable people. We’ve got to have a reasonable conversation here.”

Councillors hear pros and cons of casino plan‘Review all the facts and

make a reasoned decision. You’ll find the fears that have been raised do not

come to pass.’Bill Rutsey, CEO of Canadian

Gaming Association

Following a summer of gun vio-lence “that shook our communities,” Toronto will be getting 20 new youth outreach workers, Children and Youth Services Minister Eric Hoskins announced yesterday.

The provincial government is adding 35 new youth workers in nine communities in Ontario, more than half of them in Toronto, he said at the Jane Street Hub. The move is in response to several high-profile violent incidents, including a fatal shooting at a barbecue on Danzig Street in July that left 14-year-old Shyanne Charles and 23-year-old Joshua Yasay dead and 24 others injured, Hoskins said.

Youth outreach workers act as mentors to young people. Likwa Nkala with East Metro Youth Services in Scarborough, applauded the addi-tion of new youth workers. “We need dynamic people to do whatever it takes ti get (youth) connected to services. For us, we’re really excited, especially for hard-to-engage youth who are at risk of getting killed in gangs.”
