The arrival of the warmer weather means officers from 55 Division have once again upped patrols in east-end parks and beaches.
As more people enjoy the community, criminal and disorderly activities like drug and alcohol use as well as theft and robbery increase, police said.
Dubbed Parks N Rec, the spring/summer project will see a high visibility of uniformed officers on foot, bikes and ATVs patrolling all parks within 55 Division
and along the waterfront, a focus placed on people who present a risk, and officers educating people on bylaws and provincial statutes.
The goal of the initiative, which is set to run until November, is to increase and sustain the public percep-tion of safety, deter criminal and disorderly conduct, and gather intelligence.
Also, 22 Division will be making use of social media to keep the public informed of crimes and arrests as well as prevention tips.

Spring is in the air in east Toronto and so is music with several community choirs and concert bands gearing up for their annual spring concerts.
These long-running com-munity music groups work hard through most of the year to present two or three main shows, with their spring pre-sentations usually being their season finale.
They provide east-end residents the opportunity to take in breathtaking music in beautiful venues east of the Don Valley.
Here are three spring music shows to attend. Ticket prices range from mid-teens to mid-twenties, typically with modest reductions if you pre-purchase.
VOCA CHORUS OF TORONTO
WHEN: Saturday, May 7, 7:30 p.m.WHERE: Eastminster United Church, 310 Danforth Ave., home of the choir’s practice facilityWHAT: Vast Eternal Sky is a performance of Gabriel Fauré’s renowned choral masterpiece – his powerful and profound Requiem – featuring Elizabeth Polese, soprano, Lawrence Shirkie, baritone, and the Talisker Players Orchestra. The second half of the concert will feature a wide range of secular and sacred repertoire, most of which celebrates themes of sky or heaven.INFO AND TICKETS: www.vocachorus.ca
EAST YORK CONCERT BAND
WHEN: Sunday, May 15, 2 p.m.WHERE: St. Clement of Ohrid Macedonian Orthodox Cathedral, 76 Overlea Blvd.WHAT: In the Spotlight con-cert will highlight the entire bandINFO AND TICKETS: www.eastyorkconcertband.ca
TORONTO CHORAL SOCIETY
WHEN: Wednesday, May 18, 7:30 p.m.WHERE:Eastminster United Church, 310 Danforth Ave., home of the choir’s practice
facility.W H AT : In t h e Ci t y : A Celebration of Toronto will take the audience to two destinations: Toronto ... and Iceland. The choir will feature music created in and around Toronto, including In the City, commissioned from Toronto composer Brian Finley, and will then shift the program to music from Iceland – where the choir will then head for two concerts later in May.INFO AND TICKETS: www.torontochoralsociety.org
Plus we’re adding this one, just outside our area, as it’s a benefit concert organized by the Toronto Choral Society:
TORONTO CHORAL SOCIETY
WHEN: Sunday, May 15, 3 p.m.WHAT: The Gift of Song: A benefit concert to support Street Haven Women’s Choir, featuring the Street Haven Women’s Choir, the Toronto Choral Society (TCS) and the TCS’s children’s choir.WHERE: St. Paul’s Basilica, 83 Power St., east of Parliament Street. While this concert is west of the Don Valley it’s included because the Toronto Choral Society is based out of the east end (Eastminster United Church on the Danforth is their go-to practice and performance facility). Toronto Choral Society artis-tic director Geoffrey Butler founded the Street Haven Women’s Choir (SHWC) in 2000 with a grant from the United Way of Greater Toronto. Street Haven is a multi-faceted organization located in downtown Toronto, serving women through emer-gency shelter beds, a drop-in program, addiction treatment programs, a learning centre, and supportive housing. The choir is comprised of women who use, or have used, the services of Street Haven, as well as staff and friends. It’s funded through the Toronto Choral Society and with pri-vate donations.INFO AND TICKETS: www.torontochoralsociety.org
A dance party and silent auction fundraiser for Beach resident Matt Kavanagh is set to take place tomorrow at the Balmy Beach Club.
O n O c t . 2 0 , 2 0 1 4 . Kavanagh, a popular high school teacher, suffered a seizure that led to the dis-covery of a cancerous brain tumour.
Within weeks of his diag-nosis he underwent a cran-iotomy, which has left him with a series of dysfunctions including fatigue, short-term memory loss, poor co-ordi-nation, loss of sensation, and balance issues.
As a result, Kavanagh stopped working. He was a history and science teacher
and taught at St. Theresa o f L i s i e u x High School in Richmond Hill
Friends, loved ones and supporters have come together to help pay for renovations to the first floor of the family’s home so that Kavanagh can have the independence and pri-vacy to enjoy time with his young family as his physical health becomes increasingly challenged.
According to a post on the Matt Kavanagh Benefit/fundraiser party Facebook page: “While Matt focuses on healthy eating, he spends
much more time in our tiny kitchen. This tiny kitchen now causes him stress, irrita-bility toward his three small children, and limitations. Matt loves to cook for his kids and he does most of the grocery shopping to keep a stable routine. However; the kitchen counter is always loaded and piled with dishes, pots and pans and glassware. Matt has little room to work and combined with his impairments – co-ordination, sensation and balance – the kitchen can be dangerous...Matt desperately needs a workspace to suit his deficits which will only decline in the future.”
Tickets cost $60 and can
be purchased online at www.donationaid.com/kavanagh-kitchen

A woman is dead and a man is recovering in hospital after a vehicle crashed into a dance studio in the Beach Tuesday.
Police said two women and a man were inside Bold Steps Dance Studio at Queen Street and Spruce Hill Road when a southbound 2013 Toyota RAV4 driven by a 65-year-old woman attempted to make a right turn into a parking spot at 9:49 a.m.
“The vehicle ends up going into the building,” Const. Clint Stibbe said at the scene.
“At some point, it left the ground and was airborne when it went through the window and, in fact, part of the vehicle did strike the upper portion of the build-ing but (caused) minimal damage to the building.”
A 68-year-old woman was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.
A man was taken to hos-pital for treatment of seri-
ous injuries while another woman suffered minor injuries and was treated on scene.
The victims were getting ready for a 10 a.m. dance class. A fourth person who was part of the group showed up at 10 o’clock, missing the crash.
The driver received minor
injuries and wasn’t taken to hospital. Stibbe said police haven’t yet determined whether or not charges would be laid.
A Toronto fire department heavy urban rescue team was called to the scene to help remove the vehicle.
“We have to minimize the damage to the building,”
Stibbe said. “At the same time we have
to exercise extreme caution because of gasoline in the vehicle. We don’t want to have a gas tank rupture and then have any sort of fire as a result.”

There’s a shift taking place in Toronto that really should not come as a surprise given the amount of condominium construction hap-
pening in our city. One need only look at the number of cranes, not just downtown, but also in other parts of the city, to recognize this building boom.
But the stereotype regarding the people who these condos are being built for is changing rapidly in Toronto.
They are no longer the choice for young people, seniors and those looking to be landlords. More and more families are saying no to the so-called subur-ban dream of a house and yard, and are choosing to buy condos and raise their families in them.
Certainly some of this is driven by price, and the fact that single-family homes in Toronto are becom-ing more and more out of reach for many. For some,
condo life is strictly a financial decision, but for many others it’s become a lifestyle preference.
As Amy Geer told Metroland Media Toronto of the decision she and her husband Andy made to buy a two-bedroom condo in the Fort York area, it was a ques-tion of financial balance and the
kind of life they wanted to live. “If we bought a house we wouldn’t be able to
afford a baby; a condo would allow us to have the lifestyle and the baby,” she said.
And that’s changing the way the City of Toronto’s planning department has to think and oper-ate. The planning department initiated the study Growing Up: Planning for Children in New Vertical Communities as it works on ways to deal with what will be the increasing needs of families with children in what had previously been condo communities geared to adult residents.
The study is looking at how these high-density condo communities can better accommodate “households with children and youth.” That’s an issue for the present, and it will certainly raise some challenges as many of these communities are lacking in both recreational and educational spaces nearby.
This shift also puts pressure on Toronto’s public and Catholic school boards, which will find them-selves with growing numbers of students living nowhere near schools, while many schools in established “suburban” neighbourhoods are seeing severely declining enrolment.
As our city changes, so must we change the way we think, plan and adapt.
We must adapt to condo boom
Our VieW
Wise to plan for ‘vertical communities’
I was struck last week, attending the official launch of Toronto’s
new raccoon-proof green bins on a lovely, quiet street in Scarborough, at just how suitable the event was to the talents of our current mayor, John Tory.
That may sound mean, but I don’t intend it to be. When Tory arrived at the foot of the driveway of Scarborough resident Rhoda Potter, the host of the launch event, he could not have been more charming, or dare we say it, funny.
He joked around with the city sanitation worker who was driving the truck. He kidded around with Ms. Potter, who was demon-strating her own raccoon-proofing on her green bin as a contrast with the city’s new, Atlanta-designed higher tech solution (Ms. Potter used a rock and a bungee cord). He kidded around with reporters while demonstrating the even higher-tech robot
arm that is designed to lift the green bin into the sky and dump its offal in the truck from a height even raccoons would find diz-zying.
At least we think he was kidding when he suggested one of us try the robot arm.
The whole event went like one of those stand-up comedy routines that ask the audience if they’ve ever noticed how absurd something-or-other is, how irritating whoever-we’re-irritated-with is or (as in this case) how darn cute and clever whatever-is-vexing-us is.
It occurs to me that this is one of the most formidable skills that Tory brings to the job of mayor, in the post-Rob Ford Toronto: the ability to be pleasant and funny, an ability honed no doubt by his years hosting talk radio,
and one that has lent the mayor a great advantage with the public.
It is no coincidence that Tory’s biggest successes fall into this category, too, first pointing out, and then dealing with, the many small irritants in city life.
One of Tory’s first acts as mayor was to announce a towing blitz on those darned cars that keep parking illegally on downtown streets during rush hour. Don’t you hate those?
And isn’t it absurd to pay the equivalent of a meal out, to haul your kids onto the subway for a Sunday trip? Free rides for children was the answer to that.
And then there was the business of the raccoons.
They’re comedy gold, those clever little, erm, bandits. Dealing with the ingenuity of raccoons has turned us all into hapless coyotes trying to catch a road runner, and Tory is more than happy to deliver
the ACME raccoon-proof bin, that (like all ACME products in Road Runner cartoons) looks raccoon proof, if possibly not fool proof.
It made for a breezy and pleasant afternoon last week, having a bit of fun in Scarborough with Ms. Potter, commiserat-ing about a silly but still troublesome problem and offering up a simple solu-tion.
As I write this, I’m watching Toronto Council try and figure out another troublesome problem – the city’s coyote-and-road-runner relationship with UberX, and the troubled taxi industry.
If only the solution to this problem were as simple as building a better green bin, our excellent mayor would know just what to do.
Tory well versed to take on raccoons

A self-professed “idiot” motorist apologized this week for cutting off riders disem-barking a TTC streetcar.
As detailed in a Reddit post published Monday, the user blamed a “lapse in judgement” for overtaking a stopped 504 King streetcar at Strachan Avenue as pas-sengers got off.
“I honestly had a lapse in judgement and instead of stopping when the streetcar slowed, I continued moving and as such endangered the people getting off,” states the penitent motorist.
According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, all vehicles must leave at least two metres of space from the nearest doors of a stationary streetcar.
wNAMES FOR GARDINER PUBLIC SPACE
What do the names the Artery, the Bentway, the Canopy and Gathering Place have in common? They’re all under consideration as the eventual name for the Project: Under Gardiner public space plan.
The choices, whittled down from 884 public entries, were unveiled last week as the finalists of an online contest for the planned 1.75 kilome-tres of continuous public space under the Gardiner Expressway, from Strachan to Spadina avenues.
You can vote for your favourite option once a day until Saturday.
Announced last year by the city, the $25-million project is fully funded through a private donation. Waterfront Toronto is co-ordinating construction and hoping to have it done by mid-2017.
wSUZUKI FOUNDATION SAYS YES TO BIKE LANES
The foundation for the country’s foremost environ-mentalist has come out in strong support of a proposal to install the first bike lanes on Bloor Street.
Ahead of city council’s vote
on the matter (expected to have taken place yesterday), the David Suzuki Foundation is calling on residents to peti-tion city councillors and Mayor John Tory in support of a pilot project to install painted bike lanes on Bloor between Shaw Street and Avenue Road.
wBUSES NOW HAVE PRESTO CARD READERS
The TTC has rolled out the first buses equipped with Presto card readers.
Installation of the smart-fare technology is well underway with Presto set to be available throughout the TTC network by the end of the year.
TTC spokesperson Brad Ross said 19 buses from the transit commission’s Queensway garage have the readers so far, and all 1,895 vehicles are expected to be online as of summer.
