Tour for Humanity visits school ALI RAZA [email protected]

An anti-hatred campaign has left Scarborough students pon-dering the question: ‘what can you do?’

Students of Henry Hudson Senior Public School received a presentation on hatred, racism and anti-semitism from Tour for Humanity on Monday, Jan. 19. That open ended question followed a lecture outlining the history of persecution, hatred and racism that haunts Canada and the world.

Tour for Humanity is an edu-cational initiative started by Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies. The tour has travelled across southern Ontario on its bus that functions as a mobile classroom to raise awareness.

Hospital continues to make case for new operating rooms MIKE ADLER [email protected]

The Scarborough Hospital must cope with Ontario’s oldest oper-ating rooms for the forseeable future unless Liberal MPPs con-vince the government to pay for new ones, TSH CEO Robert Biron says.

Operating suites at the hos-pital’s General campus were

built in 1956 and are about half the size of their newer coun-terparts.

Cramped conditions in the rooms are such a handicap - equipment needed for opera-tions is kept in hallways - Biron’s predecessor Dr. John Wright in 2012 released a You-Tube video in which he calls (www.youtube.com/watch?v=__bkf-hBM1cI) new operating rooms

“desperately” needed.Yet, more than four years after

TSH fi rst proposed 20 new oper-ating rooms to the province, the $250-million plan remains at Stage 1, the fi rst of fi ve steps toward construction.

After its proposed merger with Rouge Valley Health System fell apart last March, the project, shelved during a year of merger studies, became active again,

but with no apparent progress since.

The province, however, released a $11.4-billion list of large hospital projects it will fund over the next 10 years - and the General’s operating rooms aren’t on it, Biron said in an interview last week.

“To choose to add another project is a government deci-sion,” meaning one made by the

provincial cabinet, he said.Biron added the status of a

proposed new diagnostic imag-ing concourse at the General, TSH’s other “immediate prior-ity” amongst its capital needs, isn’t clear.

There’s a new way to play tag in Scarborough, not with lasers or paint balls, but with bows and arrows.

Archery District is the first of its kind in the Greater Toronto Area, it offers an archery tag experience for groups of six to 20 partici-pants ages 12 and up.

The 6,000-square-foot facility is situated in the heart of Scarborough at 770 Birchmount Rd., near Ellesmere Road, and opened on Jan. 3.

“In the first six days we got a couple hundred people,” said Derek Wang, one of the founders of the facility.

Wang, along with his friends Manson Leung, Addison Chan and Raymond Chan, started the business after a trip to New York City, where they found a similar archery tag facility.

“We really enjoyed the game,” Leung said.

“With all the hype around The Hunger Games, The Hobbit, Avengers and all these movies that feature archery, we thought we can do this in Toronto.”

After a long search for the right space for their idea, Leung and his friends found the Birchmount location.

The facility is funded from their own pocket, and it’s an investment they don’t regret.

“Most people love it,” Leung said.

“They like the setting, the game play. After the full hour of play, they’re usually

exhausted.”Archery tag isn’t just a mess

of arrows flying around. There are important rules that par-ticipants must observe to play effectively and safely.

The arrows used have soft, flat foam tips, and do not hurt when they hit their intended targets.

Participants first start at the shooting range, separate from the arena. For about 15 to 20 minutes they receive instruc-tion from the referee on how to properly shoot arrows and operate the bow.

Archery District stresses never shooting the bow without an arrow, as it could damage the bow and the archer.

After a quick tutorial, par-ticipants are ready to battle in the arena.

Teams are split into two, with a “safe zone” in the middle to replenish arrows and take a break from the barrage of shots.

The object of the game is to shoot all the targets that face

Last year’s community renewal campaign is over, and this Wednesday, Jan. 21, night, the real work to create a new-and-improved Scarborough must begin.

James Burchell says he’s confident what local Rotary clubs started will now be taken on and expanded by other people who live or work in Scarborough.

“I have seen traction. I have seen a lot of people who have become very passionate,” said Burchell, who isn’t a Rotarian but joined the campaign and volunteered for a project involving students.

Isolated efforts at commu-nity renewal “seem to sound great and then die off,” so the conversation started last year must continue, he said.

A public meeting meant to do that took place last night at Scarboro Golf and Country Club, after The Mirror’s press time.

Lacking services

The service clubs said they launched their effort because of “increasingly negative indi-cators of community well-being” in Scarborough which, because it grew as a suburb, lacks many of the important services and larger cultural institutions found in down-

town Toronto.Released this week, the

campaign’s summary report (www.hardystevenson.com/admin/pdf/Rotary_Proposal_Web_SinglePages.pdf) lists 14 initiatives community members can join to start turning the area’s fortunes around:n a Scarborough Community Renewal Organization to take over leadership of the cam-paignn a Scarborough Business Associationn a Scarborough Tourism Board to highlight the area’s “hidden gems” n a ‘r e - b r a n d i n g ’ o f Scarborough to “shift external perceptions” of the area

n a challenge to enlist high school, and perhaps univer-sity and college students, in renewal efforts.n a Scarborough-wide “pass-port” food festivaln a hub for music, arts and culture in Scarborough, per-haps a Living Arts Centre.n a network of block parties to celebrate “neighbourhood” arts and culturen an outdoor concert event which can showcase Scarborough’s two local orchestrasn a campaign to raise the money needed to modern-ize Scarborough’s aging hospitalsn an educational campaign to promote health care at the

community leveln a plan for sustainably using and promoting Scarborough green spaces, including its Lake Ontario waterfrontn a regional planning confer-ence to examine “neo-subur-ban” ideas, including those which could improve devel-opment in Scarboroughn a competition to design at least one “iconic signature” facility or structure

Burchell said he’s met with school principals for what Rotarians have called a “high school challenge” - one which they hope will ask students what they love about Scarborough and how it can change for the better.

“They’ve got some great

ideas.”Though he was not sched-

uled to be at Wednesday’s meeting, Toronto Mayor John Tory has told organizers he’s interested in what they have to say. Burchell said, adding he and others expect Tory to put his power behind the campaign.

Though he said “percep-tion issues have plagued us,” Burchell said Scarborough has changed and, for renewal to be successful, “Scarborough n e e d s t o u n d e r s t a n d Scarborough.”

Various other game modes

exist that Leung and his friends are experimenting with, but the overall experi-ence resembles something like laser tag, but with

arrows.

We’ve argued in these pages many times before that Torontonians will get the transit they pay for.

The city’s transit woes are many; the solutions will need to be multi-pronged and include the input (and funds) of all three levels of government. So Mayor John Tory’s recent transit announcement – basically a fare increase, children 12 and under ride for free, and the promise of service improvements – must be lauded as at least an attempt to come up with some solutions.

Despite campaigning on the promise to not raise transit fares, the user-pay approach to keeping transit moving versus a property tax increase is a safe option, but not necessarily a courageous one.

As the cost of running Toronto’s transit system rises, fares will have to increase, but property taxes may need to rise as well and alternative funding addressed. Transit Bonds are just one idea. And with that inevi-

table increase, it’s not a stretch to demand more bang for our transit buck.

Tory’s Monday announcement offered some of this added value: 50 new buses; restoring all-day, everyday bus services that were cut in 2011; 10-minute or better

bus and streetcar service. But there needs to be more in order to make the current and future increases at the fare box less frustrating.

For instance, a monthly Metropass will now cost $141.50 – it’s getting quite expensive to travel the TTC. For weekday cash commuters who drop $6 a day on transit, it works out to roughly $120 in a four-week month. Unfortunately there are few options for those without a car.

Last week’s GO Transit and TTC announcement that an extra $60 GO transit sticker can be purchased so transit users can ride GO when the TTC is busy is not the way to sweeten the transit pie. Soon it won’t be enough to merely add two subway trains on lines 1 and 2 during morning and afternoon rush hours, all-door boarding, or 12 extra routes to the Express Bus network.

Riders deserve more: a properly integrated GO and TTC pass, perhaps a two-hour ride-anywhere ticket so people heading out for quick grocery shopping can do so.

Torontonians have to get used to the fact that transit will cost everyone more money.

And politicians need to understand that any extra increases at the fare box or on our property taxes must be accompanied by something tangible to offset asking more money from residents.

Transit: give us what we pay for

I don’t curl myself, but I’ve always been a big fan and this is the time of year when curling news and highlights start popping up in newspapers and on TV screens.

Like every sport, it has a lingo all its own and for those who don’t follow it closely and aren’t up to speed on all the terminol-ogy, what follows are some explanations of a few of the most commonly used phrases.

Q. Announcers often refer to the perfect take-out. What is that exactly?

A. A jumbo burger, fries, onion rings, apple pie and a smoothie and having somebody else pick up the tab.

Q. Any tips on how to draw to the four-foot?

A. Just have them stand on a stool directly in front of the easel.

Q. How do you freeze to the button?

A. I wouldn’t try it myself, but if you take

off your shirt and lie face down on an icy sidewalk at the corner of Portage and Main in Winnipeg in the first week of February, that ought to do it.

Q. What’s a nose hit?A. That all depends on

its size. If it’s Cyrano de Bergerac’s, for example, I’d say wherever he goes it’ll hit just about anything within a city block.

HOG LINE quERy

Q. What’s a hog line violation?

A. When one of the three greedy hogs on the line of your favourite hockey team for some inexplicable reason decides to pass the puck for the first time. But please, only curling ques-tions from now on.

Q. We hear from time to time that a skip has been

having trouble with his or her weight all week. What do you recommend?

A. Trying to cut down on ordering so many jumbo burgers, fries, onion rings, apple pies and smoothies, no matter who is buying.

Q. What’s poor execu-tion of the come around game?

A. When you keep telling somebody you’re going to drop by and you never bother to show up.

Q. Why do they say that a jam, even though it is unintentional, always remains in play.

A. Because nobody can resist jam, whether you were hoping for it or not. It’s just too yummy.

Q: There were a bunch of clips of The 10th Annual Celebrity Curling With The Stars Bonspiel on last night and the colour commenta-tor said the key to the suc-cess to Homer Simpson’s rink is that Homer had such a great back end. What do you think?

A. I think the com-mentator needs a pair of glasses.

READ THE ICE

Q. We’re told time and time again that to be a good skip you have to be able to “read” the ice. How the heck do you read ice?

A. Beats me. And that’s just for starters if you want to make it to the top, from what I understand. Apparently, if you enter-tain hopes of one day going all the way to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts or the Tim Hortons Brier, not only do you have to know how to read the ice, you also have to make sure to Like the ice on Facebook and follow it on Twitter.

To the editor:Re: ‘Can you help relieve gridlock,’

Editorial, Jan. 8.I have just read today’s edito-

rial.This isn’t an easy problem, of

course, but it seems so obvious to me that as we ask people to consider

changing their hours and driving habits, that we realize ‘rush hour’ in Toronto is no longer 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.

These times should be extended by at least 30 minutes.

I believe that this alone would help with the gridlock and I realize

that this means changing a lot of signage.

However, let’s be honest – when was the last time any of these signs were changed to reflect the new working hours for most people.

Sheila Snelgrove

To the editor:This is a letter of appreciation

to Capt. Steve Duffield of Fire Hall No. 215 and all responding fire-fighters.

Last year, my husband and I were out when his cellphone rang, alert-ing us (via our fire alarm) that smoke was detected in our home.

My husband drove back to see what had happened, thinking the fire alarm was malfunctioning.

Much to his horror, our home was indeed on fire.

There was smoke everywhere and flames were starting to spread quickly.

To anyone that has not experi-enced a fire, there are no words to explain the panic and sheer terror of this experience.

He quickly called 911, and then hung up and called me.

As I was driving to the house, I was quickly passed by fire trucks responding to the call.

It took mere minutes for the fire trucks to arrive, and only seconds for the team to jump into action. They put out the fire, did a check of

the entire home and found a second fire starting in our basement.

Within a short time, they had the whole situation under control.

Offered suppOrt

Even though this was a very dan-gerous and hectic scenario, they still took the time to calm us down, assure us everything would be OK and to offer us support.

I would like to reach out to these gentlemen and let them know that they didn’t just save a house, they saved our family home, our most treasured belongings and made such a huge impact on our lives.

There are no words to express my sincere gratitude for each and every person who responded to our call.

Without you, we would not have a place to call home and to create memories with our daughter.

May you all have a wonderful new year and know your presence that day will be appreciated for life.

Nancy Ronchin and family

Thanks to firefightersworking at Hall 215To the editor:

It’s as if there’s some sort of con-spiracy to deny Scarborough resi-dents any newer transit options.

The latest wrench in the works comes from pseudo-Deputy Mayor Glenn De Baeremaeker, suggest-ing a stop be added to the stub of a subway extension already (sort of) approved.

Prior to this latest salvo, we had our previous mayor stop the Sheppard LRT in it’s tracks, in pursuit of his ‘subways, subways, subways’ transit solution.

That was apparently the extent of his knowledge of transit, as he never backed that up with anything more concrete, failing to secure any private financing for the added cost

of a subway line over the LRT, and being unable to persuade anyone else that it was a better option than a fully assessed (by transit experts), fully paid for surface line, which residents could have been travelling on, at least in part, today.

He did manage to ensure that after four years, there was zero progress on improved transit on Sheppard Avenue.

Then we had Karen Stintz, as TTC commissioner, flipping and flopping over subways and LRTs, favouring first one then the other and then, who knows? Other councillors also joined in, with the end result of all the dithering being no shovels in the ground in Scarborough for any transit improvements whatsoever.

Newly elected Councillor Jim Karygiannis has started another transit sideshow, trying to move a new transit garage being built in his ward, despite it being located in an area zoned for that type of use and after the TTC worked closely with neighbouring residential areas to address concerns as much as pos-sible.

And now De Baeremaeker wants to change directions again.

If all of this isn’t a secret hidden agenda to do nothing for Scarborough transit, it’s certainly had that effect.

MIKE ADLER [email protected]

The joy of children playing hockey outdoors, coupled with hope the next Sidney Crosby or Cassie Campbell are among them, is a Canadian ideal.

And in Scarborough, which once produced plenty of professional hockey players, the pursuit of shinny has become a political goal, one harder to shake than a big league defenceman.

That may explain the speeches and somewhat contradictory motions at Scarborough Community Council recently, as its members returned to hockey and whether Scarborough is being penal-ized when it comes to play-ing on outdoor ice.

“They are very precious moments of your life that you’ll remember,” Glenn De Baeremaeker said of the shinny experience.

Other Scarborough councillors agreed with De Baeremaeker, chosen by John Tory last month as the area’s deputy mayor, that the City of Toronto should build lots of new ice rinks in Scarborough and North York.

Those two parts of the city should get one or two new outdoor artificial rinks a year for a decade, with the goal of adding one per ward, said a motion by De Baeremaeker, which may be acted on during a Toronto-wide facilities review.

He and his colleagues, however, also supported Michael Thompson’s call for recreation staff to look at building one or two four-ice-pad indoor arenas with basketball courts, pools, libraries and other amenities – an approach Thompson said was taken for sports complexes in Mississauga, Oshawa and Markham.

“You’ve got to build them big now,” the Scarborough Centre councillor said.

Scott Harrison, a local hockey volunteer, is on the

outdoor-rink side of the argument, calling for the city to give Scarborough five new artificial open-air rinks in five years.

“At least it would be a good start,” said Harrison, a former school trustee who fought to bring the issue back to community council.

Some Scarborough wards have no available ice for

pleasure skating or shinny, the unrestricted, impro-vised games of hockey young people like to play, Harrison said.

“Even my own stepchil-dren go to Pickering to play pick-up hockey.”

Though another is planned for McCowan District Park in late 2016, only one of the city’s 52 cur-

rent artificial outdoor rinks is in Scarborough - a fact remarked upon by mayoral candidate Doug Ford and others during last year’s election campaign.

Scarborough, however, has the second-most indoor ice pads (16, in nine arenas), and “hundreds of hours” available for free shinny at reasonable times, including weekends, Rick Power, a Parks, Forestry and Recreation director told the councillors.

With the right help, Powers said, the city can see more people playing pick-up games indoors in Scarborough, or just skating freely.

City staff give commu-nity volunteers who want to create natural ice rinks training, shovels, and access to water and hoses, but no boards or plastic sheets.

A report Powers wrote says the city helped volun-teers set up 11 natural rinks in Scarborough last year; this winter, there are eight, he added, though Harrison said only four were opera-tional.

Powers said the com-mitment of volunteers to maintain natural ice – more difficult now, thanks to

climate change – comes and goes with maturity of neighbourhoods and local preferences for sport.

“Is hockey really the up and coming sport (in Scarborough) that it was years ago?” he asked.

Harrison said the recently-completed outdoor rink and ice path Greenwood Park in Riverdale cost $3 million, but Powers said outdoor rinks would now cost closer to $5 million, though they could be built for $2.5 mil-lion beside an indoor city arena.

School ice padS

Though expressing fond-ness for Scarborough’s past, when youths skated on school ice pads and frozen ponds, some Scarborough councillors said indoor rinks are more useful.

Indoor rinks “deliver the greatest number of ice hours per buck,” which is why the former City of Scarborough decided to cover its outdoor rinks and build ice indoors, Norm Kelly said.

Asheena Rycman, a parent, told councillors “there is a gross inconsis-

tency between Scarborough and the City of Toronto” in facilities offering conve-nient pleasure skating. She asked them to create more outdoor rinks, adding resi-dents near her local park, Churchill Heights, are will-ing to volunteer.

Howard Ryan, president of West Hill Minor Hockey Association, said his enrol-ment has grown but he does not get allocated ice time at city arenas for 14 of his 28 teams. “Our hands are tied to grow the game of hockey any further,” Ryan said, adding another regulation-size indoor rink in Scarborough would free up space on smaller rinks for learn-to-skate programs.

De Baeremaeker’s motion includes a request that city staff help create volunteer-run outdoor rinks “as an interim measure” at Thomson Memorial and McGregor parks.

Harrison said he’ll try asking about outdoor rinks for Scarborugh when council’s budget committee sends representatives to the Scarborough Civic Centre for a consultation on Feb. 3.

opinion

Tory’s short-term budget likely to pass easilyThe first budget of a term of council is often an easy one to swallow.

In 2011, it was such an easy budget that Rob Ford could get away with freezing property taxes, eliminating the vehicle registration fee and demanding that TTC fares be frozen, all thanks to a reserve squirrelled away from the previous adminis-tration.

In 2015, Mayor Tory is faced with a similar gift set. There is no surplus – the last time Toronto used a prior year surplus to bal-ance the budget was 2012.

The land transfer tax – which former Mayor Ford generously failed to elimi-nate — has come in at a staggering $425 million, $50 million more than finance staff anticipated. Ontario Premier Wynne and Mayor Tory are well-disposed to one another — something that could not be said former Mayor Ford and former Premier McGuinty — so odds are good that the city will receive $85 million

in help from Ontario. And unlike former Mayor

Ford, Mayor Tory has felt no need to deliver a prop-erty tax freeze.

Instead, Tory has done the opposite — and increased service levels to what seems like a luxuri-ous degree, and charged Toronto residents appro-priately.

And Torontonians will pay more.

There’s an inflationary tax increase of 2.25 per cent that goes up slightly above Toronto’s rate of inflation when the 0.5 per cent Scarborough subway levy is added in (which it is). Non-children will be paying another 10 cents to ride the TTC.

User fees are on the rise, as the city charges more for household garbage collec-tion and hikes fees for rent-ing ice by 7.25 per cent and premium sports field fees by 12.5 per cent.

Pushing increases like that would have been bad medicine indeed for most mayors in Toronto’s recent history — and this may turn out to be the case for Tory but I suspect it won’t.

Tory made the point at a lunch-hour speech that his predecessor – that being Rob Ford, now Councillor for Etobicoke North – raised fees and taxes more marginally while at the same time reducing service. And that is not what’s going on here.

Tory wants to be seen as fiscally prudent, but what he is selling along with that is the good life — or at least a better life — for constitu-ents.

It is at least in the short term a very progressive budget coming from a darling of council conser-vatives.

It will likely pass as easily as it was, say, for Richard Nixon to visit China.

Ben Heppner Vocal Academy hosts open houseANGELINE MAIR [email protected]

The Ben Heppner Vocal Academy in Scarborough is hosting an open house Wednesday Jan. 28, at 7 p.m. with an appearance by the school’s namesake Canadian tenor Ben Heppner.

The school’s principal, Brian Bennett, said visits by Heppner who is a world-renowned Canadian tenor are always appreciated, “He’s a rock star at this school,” Bennet said.

“The children adore him. They idolize him.”

The vocal academy is located in the Heather Heights Public School, which is in the Scarborough Golf Club Road and Ellesmere area, and accepts students in Grades 4 to 8 with a passion for singing and interest in music. An audition is not required to attend.

The open house is an opportunity for parents and students to choose if a music-based alternative school is an option, Bennett said.

“It’s an opportunity to get lots of information about the program.”

Those attending will also have a

chance to meet with teachers and students at the academy.

The day school follows the Toronto District School Board cur-riculum while providing the students with the opportunity to sing daily. Students sing in a range of styles from traditional choral repertoire to current pop tunes in large and small groups.

Perform in community

Many performances are held in the school’s Tyler McGill Concert Hall, which opened Dec. 4 with stu-dents and Heppner performing.

Students also perform in the community.

Bennett said many of the students who attend the academy look for-ward to auditioning and attending Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts, which is an arts school, and this is the school’s first Grade 8 class to go through the audition process.

“This program is great training for that,” he said.

Fare increase aims to improve serviceLost in the hoopla surround-ing this week’s $95-million TTC budget announcement is the fact Metropass users will again face a stiff cost increase.

The new money is ear-marked for a wide variety of immediate improvements such as boosting service pre-2011 levels and pro-viding free and unlimited transit access for all kids 12 and under.

To fund the service improvements the TTC will impose a 10-cent “propor-tionate” fare increase on bulk fare purchases while continuing to freeze cash fares at $3.

This means that buying seven tickets or tokens at the new rate of $2.80 per fare would set riders back $19.60.

w ‘Stealth increaSe’ for MetropaSS uSerS

In calculating the Metropass increase, the TTC opted to raise the trip “multiple” so now it will require 50.5 rides a month as opposed to 49.5 to make

it cost-effective to purchase the pass at the new pro-posed rate of $141.50.

As transit watcher Steve Munro pointed out, Mayor John Tory, TTC chair Josh Colle and TTC CEO Andy Byford made no mention of this “stealth increase” during the transit fare announcement.

The Metropass is already the highest priced monthly travel pass in North America.

w brakeS put on beach charter buS

Another crowdfunded tran-sit operation is applying the brakes to its plans for a chartered bus service.

The plan which was announced by Jon Chaisson via Facebook would have seen a daily commuter bus traveling between the Beach and downtown.

But Chaisson said the project is on hold for now

as he works through “legal aspects” of the service.

This comes on the heels of Line Six cancelling its scheduled launch of a regu-lar private bus service for Liberty Village residents.

The service, which was to have begun this week, was said to be scuttled due to objections by the Ontario Highway Transport Board.

w lacroSSe fanS can ride Go for free

Planning to attend the Toronto Rock’s home opener at the Air Canada Centre? You can take GO Transit home from the game for free.

Those with a game ticket can travel on the GO bus or train service of their choice following the Rock’s Friday, Jan. 23, tilt against the Buffalo Bandits.

health ministry advice, re-submitted it in 2012, with a slightly reduced budget, in a “small project” cat-egory.

It was put on hold for merger discussions too, re-acti-vated and then, within the last few months, amended to add a vascular suite costing $4.5 million more.

“It made perfect sense to us,” said Biron, explaining this was done after the Central East LHIN, Scarborough’s health care authority, chose TSH as a regional centre for vascular services.

While admitting there hasn’t been much movement toward building the operating rooms, Biron called TSH officials “cautiously optimistic” about progress this year.

Hoping the government adds the project to its list, Biron said the hospital “has continued to communicate that message to the ministry and MPPs. There’s no doubt that they understand these issues.”

On Friday, Scarborough-Agincourt MPP Soo Wong said she and her Scarborough talk to the ministry about TSH every week.

The health minister, Dr. Eric Hoskins, is personally

aware of the Scarborough hospital’s challenges, she added.

“He can tell you: you can’t get a better champion (for TSH) than Soo Wong.”

But Wong also said hospitals on the province’s list have projects more advanced than Scarborough’s, and “we are competing with newer com-munities, called growth communi-ties.”

Hanging over and complicating the General’s chances for major invest-ment is the worsening physical state of Scarborough’s three hospital cam-puses, including TSH Birchmount and RVHS Centenary, and what might become of them.

Last January, both TSH and RVHS told the province it will cost $1.5 bil-lion to maintain the campuses over 20 years and complete projects in the pipeline. For slightly more, the hospitals suggested, an entirely new hospital campus in Scarborough could be built.

Both the community and gov-ernment need to seriously consider “modernizing” Scarborough’s hos-pital facilities, Biron said last week. “Clearly, all three (campuses) are needing significant attention.”

Wong acknowledged the major capital needs of Scarborough’s hospi-tals, and said it was a mistake for the province to build a new $72-million emergency and critical care wing at the General - doubling the size of the old one - in 2009 without looking “at the whole” of TSH.

“You cannot do piecemeal one wing, one floor at a time,” said the MPP, a registered nurse.

“We’ve got to be prudent and responsible for the taxpayer’s dollar.”

As a candidate, Toronto Mayor John Tory said he was interested in helping TSH get its operating suites built, despite this being a provincial responsibility.

Though adding the community must help by raising some of the costs itself, Tory offered last April to support the project, along with Scarborough MPPs and councillors.

“A divided community is the best friend of inertia in government,” he said at the time.

There is some good news for TSH: construction is expected to begin this spring on $5 million in upgrades to the General’s plumbing system.

The untimely death of a 21-year-old Scarborough woman at a U.S. college where she was on a basket-ball scholarship has left her family, friends and teammates in mourning.

Shanice Clark, a former team MVP at Cedarbrae Collegiate in Scarborough which she graduated from in 2011, was found unresponsive early Sunday, Jan. 18, around 3 a.m. in her dormitory at the California University of Pennsylvania.

Local police said prelimi-nary indications were of an accidental death.

Clark was taking this year

off (redshirting) the basketball program, after suiting up for 24 games last year, with her final senior year remaining.

The college postponed its regular scheduled bas-ketball games to today from Wednesday.

Grew up in ScarborouGh

“Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Shanice Clark. Shanice was a bright stu-dent and talented player. Her smile and personality will be missed,” said Athletic Director Dr. Karen Hjerpe.

C l a r k g r e w u p i n

Scarborough’s Orton Park neighbourhood.

Cleveland Clunis, founder of a non-profit organization whose basketball program Clark attended, said she pushed herself hard in her sport.

She dreamed of being a broadcaster and chose the university, where she was majoring in communication studies (radio and television), for its good facilities. She was set to graduate this year.

She leaves behind mother, Kashaeka Fearon, and a younger sister.

w Two-alarm blaze aT sushi resTauranT

A two-alarm blaze at a Scarborough sushi restaurant caused $50,000 damage Tuesday.

Fire crews were called to the restaurant, at 3490 Kingston Rd. (near Markham Road), at 5:13 a.m.

Capt. David Eckerman said the fire started in the kitchen though the cause hasn’t been determined. “The call came in from a monitoring company,” he said, noting there was no one in the restaurant at the time.

Smoke was visible when firefighters arrived. The call was upgraded to a second-alarm fire at 5:21 a.m. and the blaze was brought under control 10 minutes later.

There were no injuries reported. Seventeen trucks and 52 firefighters were at the

scene.

w PorT auThoriTy rebrandingThe Toronto Port Authority has changed its name

to PortsToronto after a major rebranding, which was announced this week.

The federal agency owns and operates the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, the Port of Toronto (Terminals 51 and 52), the Outer Harbour Marina and is about to open a pedestrian tunnel to the airport.

Improving inter-governmental relations is listed as one of the reasons behind the name change.

Another reason was more pragmatic: Its old initials – TPA – were also synonymous with several other city organizations, causing confusion.

It was given the TPA moniker during a rebranding back in 1999 from its original name, which it had held since its inception in 1911: the Toronto Harbour Commissioners.

Scarborough native Jennifer Liu is hoping to become Canada’s Piano Hero.

A contest organized by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, Canada’s Piano Hero brings pianists from all across the country together to compete for a chance to win a classical musician’s prize package.

The prize includes two concert appearances with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra,

a lesson with acclaimed clas-sical pianist Emanuel Ax, interviews on the radio, hotel accommodations with return airfare from Toronto and a brand new Steinway piano.

Liu is completing her mas-ter’s degree in piano perfor-mance at the University of Montreal on scholarship. Her undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto were also done with a scholarship. Before university, Liu attended

the Royal Conservatory of Music’s Taylor Academy for gifted pre-high school age musicians.

In her 14 years of study-ing piano, she’s earned many prizes at local, provincial and national levels compe-titions.

Now, Liu’s sights are set on becoming Canada’s Piano Hero as she one day hopes to become a professional concert pianist. The Top 10

candidates are determined by votes and will proceed to the final judging round that will determine the winner.

Voting is open until the end of the day today. To vote for Liu, visit http://bit.ly/1C2XBYS

What is Rotary? Community Projects

Join Rotary for fun, fellowship and a great

sense of accomplishment

Rotary is the oldest service club in the world. Started in 1905 in Chicago by Paul Harris, Rotary International currently includes 34,000 clubs worldwide with over 1.2 million members. Rota-ry recognizes the value in diversity, gender, age, religion, and ethnicity.

Rotarians work together to support needed services in their own communities and to collab-orate with other Rotary Clubs around the world on international projects.

Rotary International is the lead organization in the fight against polio along with World Heath Organization and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foun-dation with the international program Polio Plus. Visit www.thisclose.net to see how close we are to eradicating polio.

Rotary Clubs in Scarborough support many lo-cal and international projects.

For more than twenty years, the Club worked closely with the Crippled Children’s Society and helped with the Stuffing Bee in the annual Eas-ter Seals Campaign. Regular contributions are made to the Toronto Zoo and, in 1996, the Club raised forty thousand dollars to help finance a wildlife conservation centre. Between 1993 and 1995, several clubs in the District, including Scarborough, funded the Rain Forest exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre.

Providing over 60 years of Community Service

Rotary Clubs in Scarborough

2014 Scarborough Rotary Club Community Renewal CampaignIn February 2014, the Rotary Clubs in Scarborough approved an action plan whose purpose it was to advance community renewal in Scarborough.

The 2014 Scarborough Community Renewal Campaign was initiated to address the trend towards increasingly negative indicators of community well-being in Scarborough, by engaging residents, businesses, institutions, academics and Rotarians in community building. Rotary received excellent support from Metroland Media and Global News.

The community in Scarborough is a unique, vibrant, well-educated, multi-cultural community, with both locally and globally connected entrepreneurs who are innovative and economically strong.

However, Scarborough is lacking essential economic hubs, social services, effectual urban planning, large-scale arts and culture activities, state of the art health care infrastructure, and transit that meet the needs of its more than 600,000 residents. As well, many of the top 13 areas designated as priority neighbourhoods almost 10 years ago by the City of Toronto have seen a decrease in community well-being.

Over the past 11 months, Rotary has hosted community events and convened community members in consultation meetings to discuss three key questions:1.What do you love about Scarborough?2. What do you envision for Scarborough

in the future?

3. How do we make this vision a reality?The results of the Campaign have

been remarkable. Through community events, consultation and one-on-one conversations, it is evident that while there is much movement in Scarborough, activities are taking place in silos – various groups are not aware of other’s initiatives.

Communication and collaboration are essential to successful community building. The groups involved in the consultation for the Campaign expressed a sincere desire to work with other groups, as there is power in numbers.

Budget plans to hike fees for ice, premium sports fieldsDAVID NICKLE [email protected]

It will cost more to rent ice for hockey and book premium-quality sports fields in 2015, if Toronto Council goes along

with proposed fee hikes in this year’s budget.

City staff are recommending substantial increases above the rate of inflation – and reclassifications of some fields that could push the cost even

higher.Fees for recreation services

are rising 2.5 per cent across the board to cover inflation.

But staff are recommending that an additional 5 per cent be tacked onto ice rentals –

meaning a total increase of 7.5 per cent – and premium sports fields by an additional 10 per cent – adding up to a 12.5 per cent increase in some cases.

Current fees for ice range from $61.40 for non-prime

time community youth in a C-class facility to $319.65 an hour in an A-class facil-ity, which accounts for 80 per cent of all city ice.

For children and youth, that’s $154.12 an hour, which would make for an approximate $25 increase per individual player per season.

The sports field increase would only apply to a small portion of the city’s fields across the city. Those would impact players by about $20 per season. But to mitigate the impact, the city is proposing to discount rates at premier sports fields by 50 per cent during non prime-time hours.

But to further com-

plicate matters, the city is also going to reclassify sports fields based on quality, which will affect their fees.

That will mean 94 facili-ties will have a decrease in fees as they’re downgraded, 35 facilities will experience an increase in fees in 2015, and 11 facilities will be seeing fee hikes significant enough to be phased in over two years starting in 2016, with no fee impacts in 2015.

T h o s e f i e l d s a r e L’Amoreaux, Neilson Park, Adams Park, Bill Hancox Park in Scarborough, Esther Shiner Stadium in North York and High Park in the former City of Toronto.

It’s going to cost a lot more to throw out garbage in 2015, if Toronto Council approves a dramatic rate increase for home garbage collection in this year’s budget.

The new rates for the various sizes of garbage bin come from an overall 3 per cent increase in the rate. But all bins are not created equal.

A home using a small garbage bin, will see their rate increased from $6.72 to $10.63 annually—an increase of $3.91.

But the largest bin will cost homeowners $343.60, up from $217.21, adding $126.39 a year to their bill.

The rate supported system was put into place during Mayor David Miller’s administration, as a way to encourage resi-dents to recycle more.

Initially, the idea was that residents who put out just one bag or less every two weeks and recycled everything else would pay nothing for garbage collec-tion, while families who threw out more garbage would pay a premium.

But all garbage collec-

tion received some form of subsidy from the city property tax base.

The move this budget year saves $17.9 million in subsidy to the program, a cut of 10 per cent.

Staff are hoping that the cut will encourage residents to recycle more and swap out for a smaller bin if they’re able.

The long-term goal according to city staff is to eliminate the subsidy entirely and have residents pay the full cost of collect-ing garbage through the fee.

T h a t w o u l d ra n g e between $237.64 for the smallest bin to $454.45 for the largest bin.

The city does not charge for the collection of recy-clable goods and organ-ics.

A recent study of the contents of garbage show that 65 per cent of the materials thrown out is recyclable, and 3/4 of Toronto homeowners are using bins larger than the very smallest.

On Monday, it stopped at Henry Hudson, where groups of 30 students at a time over the course of regular school hours listened attentively to what Daniella Lurion, educa-tion associate, said.

“If we all did one small thing to make a difference every day we can be heroes in our own communities and really change the world,” she said.

The workshop consists of a three-part presentation. The fi rst, called the Global Experience discusses the Holocaust, other genocides including the Armenian Genocide, Khmer Rouge and Rwanda, and real-life heroes such as Martin Luther King Jr., Helen Keller, Simon Wiesenthal and Gandhi.

The second part places the Canadian Experience as a focal point. Students learn about Canada’s history and racism with presentations on the history of Aboriginal resi-dential schools and the treat-ment of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War. And more recently, the effects

of cyber-bullying.But it’s not all dark and

gloomy, as the presentation ends by shining a light on positive changes that students can bring to the future.

These messages, coupled with anti-bullying advice, are meant to engage students by reminding them that it’s pos-sible – and even critical – to learn from history.

“It’s to help inspire kids,” Lurion said.

“And to teach them that yes, our past isn’t perfect, but

we can work together to make the future better.”

F r i e n d s o f S i m o n Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies is an edu-cational organization that’s been active for more than a decade.

It offers workshops and courses for students focusing on the history of racism and anti-semitism, cyber-bullying and creating change.
