Knowing what to do if hydro wires fall on your vehicle can save your life.

Toronto Fire Services and Toronto Hydro held a live demonstration last Thursday, at the Toronto Fire and EMS on Eastern Avenue in Leslieville to educate the public about what to do if you find yourself in such a predicament.

“It can be a scary situation to have power lines come down on your car. With the help of Toronto Fire Services, we’re hoping to raise aware-ness and educate Toronto residents, keeping them safe on our roads,” said Toronto Hydro spokesperson Tori Gass in a release.

During an interview she said Toronto Hydro saw a gap in its safety messaging and felt it was important to educate the public about what to do if faced with such a situation.

“People aren’t very aware and there are very specific steps to take because it is a very dangerous situation. It

can be life threatening,” she said.

In a release, Toronto Fire Chief Jim Sales said firefighters are often the first to arrive at the scene of a collision or a fire emergency, including cases of downed hydro wires.

“We were pleased to join Toronto Hydro for this event as we’re always looking for ways to enhance public safety awareness,” he said.

Incidents of downed wires tend to occur more often during severe weather like freezing rain and high winds. They also often result when vehicles collide with hydro poles.

In 2015, there were 280 such incidents in Toronto as well as another 75 cases where vehicles came into contact with Toronto Hydro wires.

If wires do come down, the

safest place is actually inside the vehicle as live power lines can electrify the ground.

The vehicle’s occupants should remain inside until Toronto Hydro makes the area safe.

If it is possible to drive the vehicle out from under the wires, motorists should move very slowly and try to get at least 10 metres from the power lines before calling 911.

In the event of a second-ary danger like the vehicle catching on fire, occupants are advised to exit the car by jumping and to ensure they land with both feet together.

When jumping, people also shouldn’t touch the car and the ground at the same time.

Further, once you’ve landed on the ground with both feet (make sure not to stumble), people should shuffle their feet close together while moving away from the vehicle until they’re at least 10 metres away or roughly the length of a school bus.

What should you do if hydro wires fall on your car?

If the past two months are any indication, 2016 will be a year of great opportunity and excitement for Danforth East dancer/choreographer Esie Mensah.

Mensah – who has lived near Woodbine and Danforth avenues since October – will present a nine-minute excerpt of her 2015 work Akoma as part of Footsteps Across Canada, described as a celebration of human spirit and diverse Canadian expression that features six choreographers (three female and three male) from across the country.

Each choreographer repre-sents a unique Canadian voice from the African diaspora.

Pre s e n t e d by d a n c e Immersion, Footsteps Across Canada runs during Black History Month on Friday and Saturday for three shows at Harbourfront Centre Theatre, 231 Queen’s Quay W.

Tickets cost $29 to $34, or $22 to $29 for students and seniors, and can be purchased online at www.harbourfront-centre.com or by calling 416-973-4000.

Akoma is a 75-minute dance/theatre piece written and choreographed by Mensah about a young man’s journey from Ghana to Canada and his wrestling with the decision to return home.

Originally choreographed for five dancers, the work aims to explore how the thoughts we keep can take over our mind; how we can lose ourselves in them and what happens if it goes too far; and if a young man named Yao is strong enough to fight his thoughts, which have come alive.

Last Thursday, Mensah cel-ebrated the world premiere of Venus’ Daughter, which she choreographed. The 90-minute play, written by Meghan Swaby and presented by Obsidian Theatre, runs until Sunday at The Theatre Centre, 1115 Queen St. W. Visit www.obsidiantheatre.com/season/venus-daughter for more information.

Earlier this year, she cho-reographed a 60-second

commercial, which is set to be begin airing by the end of this month.

“It’s really nice to be able to know work is coming in,” said Mensah, who plans to develop Akoma into a larger format production.

“I’d like to do it for Canada’s 150th birthday (in 2017). It’s an ideal story line about Canada’s identity.”

Mensah, whose family is from Ghana, has been danc-ing her whole life. Along with her five siblings, she started out as a member of Toronto’s Ewe Dance Ensemble. The family would travel from their hometown of Hamilton to Toronto for practices and performances.

“My parents wanted to make sure we understood our culture,” she said. “My family’s been involved with that group for nearly 50 years.”

Because of her early expo-sure to Ghanian, Malian and Guinean dance styles, Mensah said everything she does has a stamp of her background.

“There’s always an imprint of my heritage in everything I do,” said Mensah, who gradu-ated from George Brown College’s one-year commer-cial dance studies program in 2007.

After completing her stud-ies, Mensah spent five years as a performer and background dancer for industry icons including Janelle Monae, Blake McGrath, Shawn Desman, Nelly Furtado, Jully Black, Flo Rida, and Deborah Cox.

Considering that film and television production work is worth $1 billion a year to Toronto, we think it’s a good idea Mayor John Tory is head-

ing out to Los Angeles for a business mission in sup-port of the industry.

The mayor of one of the world’s largest centres for film, television, and digital media production should be making annual visits to help promote and protect what is an important business to our city. And he goes at an especially good time as the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar makes shooting movies and television shows in Toronto even more attractive for American production companies.

“Toronto’s film and television sector is a growing source of jobs and economic growth,” said Tory in a press release.

Along with the dollars the industry pumps into Toronto’s economy, it’s also helping grow an extremely valuable source of local talent, which

benefits our city on so many levels. Being a centre of film and television production also makes Toronto a cultural hub in Canada.

It builds a strong community of not only people in the creative arts, but also in the many technical sides of the industry from high-tech digital

imaging, to sound systems, to set building, special effects, catering, transportation, hotels and more.

It’s an industry that also builds Toronto a profile beyond the film industry as it also helps increase tour-ism. While in Los Angeles, Tory has meetings planned with 11 major studios including CBS, Paramount, Warner, and Sony. According to the city, those studios alone have more than $800 million worth of projects planned for Toronto in 2016 alone.

Tory is not going by himself on this trip either; he is bringing with him a delegation of both film and tourism professionals from the city. They represent Canadian companies and the hospitality industry, and are making the trip on their own dime.

There are nine partners as part of the delegation and they are paying $5,000 each to sponsor An Evening With Canada’s Stars that will showcase Canadian excellence in the industry as part of the visit. Tory will also meet with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.

While some may see this as a nice excuse for the mayor to get out to California at the end of February, we view it as an important part of the job: promoting local industry and looking after our economic health.

Trip helps promote our city

‘Crazy’ gondola scheme might be stretching itIf you’re going to pitch a crazy transit scheme like gondolas across the Don Valley to service a fancy artisanal market, prob-ably it’s best to make sure that nobody’s planning an extravagant mea culpa about their crazy transit scheme within the same week.

Such is the unhappy circumstance that the entrepreneurial gondoliers at Bullwheel International Cable Car Corp., who pitched their plan to stretch cable across the Don Valley just days before Metrolinx moved to slash prices on the Union-Pearson Express train to boost its gossamer-thin ridership.

The train was at one time touted as a major economic development boost, pro-viding a quick link between Union Station and Pearson airport. The investment – $465 million – was deemed worthwhile, even as the private sector consortium initially interested in the project lost interest, and

in 2010 Metrolinx took the whole thing over.

The private sector clearly knew something that the public sector leadership didn’t, because the rail line opened up with tepid rider-ship.

It wasn’t hard to see why. With few stations, and

those that existed difficult to access, the only way that the 25-minute airport ride could be a convenience would be for those travel-lers who were staying or holding meetings within a short walk of Union Station.

And with the price point of $27 one way, really only executives with an expense account would have any reason to ride it.

But for that class of traveller, an airport limo ride with door-to-terminal service would only cost a few dollars more.

What a terrible idea that airport express train was.

What a terrible, seduc-tive idea. It was so seduc-tive, of course, because it played to that aspirational myth that is so damaging to Toronto’s more neces-sary priorities: namely, that we need to dress ourselves up in the manner of much larger cities in Europe and America in order to remain competitive.

So if there are trains from Stockholm’s downtown to its airport, and an express train between Victoria Station and Gatwick Airport in London, what fun it would be for us to be like that too.

So many of our major transit initiatives have sprung from that ethos.

In the 1990s, then North York mayor Mel Lastman fought tooth and nail to make sure there was money for the Sheppard subway, because he knew that building it would validate the Yonge-Sheppard hub that was to be his old city’s

downtown. Scarborough is get-

ting an absurd, one-stop subway extension to the Scarborough Town Centre, because residents there have been convinced that a subway is the path to civic legitimacy.

The gondolas as described sound like a lot of fun – soaring over the leafy glories of the Don Valley, carrying passengers from the million-dollar-homes of prime Riverdale to the boutiques and paths of the Evergreen Brick Works in the Don Valley and back.

It sounds almost enough fun to subsidize with tax dollars when the logistics prove too costly and the revenues too slim for the private sector.

The worst that can happen is you might have to cut your fares.

The East York Eagles under-11 atom girls basketball team is on a roll, after winning gold and silver medals at recent tournaments.

The team went unde-feated during a tournament at Toronto’s HoopDome Jan. 29 to 31, besting eight other Ontario Basketball League (OBL) teams to finish first.

The Eagles started the tournament by beating the Toronto Triple Threat 48-9, following up with a 39-2 win over the North Toronto Huskies. In the semifinal matchup, the East York girls eked out a 17-16 vic-tory against the Sudbury Jayhawks, before finishing the tournament with a 32-20 win over St. Catharine’s CYO Rebels.

“The girls played really, really well,” said coach Gerald Rozario. “We played our league the week after, and they won all four of their games there, so they’re on an eight-game winning streak, so we feel pretty good.”

A couple weeks earlier, the team won silver at a tourna-ment in Vaughan. The Eagles are hoping to continue their winning ways and finish in the OBL’s top eight teams to play for the Division 1 cham-pionship in April in London. “That’s the ultimate goal, Ontario champs,” Rozario said. “The girls are very good, they’re a very good group of girls. They’re talented, very eager to learn and very

sports-minded.”The team, which practices

at Cosburn Middle School, has many players new to the game, but is making fast progress, noted Rozario. He attributed the players’ suc-cess to dedication and hard work. “All of them are very coachable. They’ve become very skillful.”

One of the more disturbing trends I have been seeing lately has been the increase in the number of attempts to defraud me of either my money or my personal infor-mation.

These attempts are show-ing up in my computer email, on my telephone, and even with people showing up on my doorstep.

Fortunately I’m able to spot these as I have kept myself aware of their various styles and strategies, but I do worry about people who may be vulnerable.

So I want to share with you some typical strategies that are being used to defraud people and I hope that you will share these with other people. One of the newest and most worrisome approaches comes in the form of a tele-phone call with someone saying they are from Revenue Canada and claiming you owe back taxes. The calls are very threatening, with the caller stating that if you do not co-operate you will face immedi-ate arrest and detention.

The person calling will

demand your credit card number or if don’t have one, that you go and purchase a pre-paid credit card and give them that number.

The bottom line is that Revenue Canada rarely calls, preferring to use mail, and never uses threats or intimi-dation, or demands immedi-ate payment using a credit card. If you receive such a call, hang up and then call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 to report the incident.

There are other scams that are appearing more frequently in the form of emails allegedly from banks, courier compa-nies or payment services such as PayPal.

These are often made up to look authentic by the use of company logos and include information that make them appear to be legitimate. They will often claim your account needs to be verified or it will be shut down and that you

need to click on a link that will take you to what appears to be an official webpage. Beyond the fact that no business will ask you for personal informa-tion in such a way, there are other clues to look for that will indicate it is fraudulent.

First the email will be generic, saying “dear cus-tomer” rather than using your name, or it may use your email address instead of your name. The second thing is to check the email address it is coming from as many people who send these are sloppy and use one that has nothing to do with the business.

The key thing is that, again, no business would ask you for personal information in such a way, and you should also report it. It is wise to err on the side of caution these days and if you are not 100 per cent certain, hang up the phone, delete the email, or close the door on someone who is suspicious.

The 506 Streetcar Project aims to connect neighbourhoods along its Gerrard Street East route.

The line will be fêted throughout the month of March with events and activi-ties, including an exhibition of wall art in galleries and storefronts along Gerrard from Coxwell to Greenwood.

Supported by the Gerrard India Bazaar Business Improvement Area, All Aboard! Life along the 506 will run from March 1 to 27.

A grand opening recep-tion for the art show is set for Saturday, March 5 from 4 to

8 p.m. at Flying Pony Gallery, 1481 Gerrard St. E., just west of Coxwell Avenue.

Visit www.gerrardindiaba-zaar.com for the full list of art locations.

That same day participating artists will be on hand for a self-guided art crawl.

People can take in The 506 Roadshow and receive appraisals and home décor/furniture upcycling consulta-tion tips from vintage hunter Debbie Facey, and her col-league, designer Lisa North off BluMorpha.

This event is also set for Saturday, March 5 from 3 to

7 p.m. at The Vintage Hunter, 1390 Gerrard.

The weekend of March 12 and 13, community members are invited to the Little India area to learn more about the history of the neighbourhood as well as that of the 506 street-car line. A photo display will be held at the Gerrard/Ashdale Library, 1432 Gerrard.

Activities are also in the works for March Break (March 15 to 18) as well as the two remaining weekends of the month.

The 506 Streetcar Project connects neighbourhoods along Gerrard route

Community members are invited to learn about plans for public transit in the city’s east end.

The meeting takes place today from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Riverdale Collegiate Institute, 1094 Gerrard St. E. at Jones Avenue.

Some topics of discussion will be the proposed TTC Relief Line route from Pape station to Queen Street East, the Metrolinx Regional Express Rail plan, which is reviewing new GO RER/SmartTrack sta-tions at Gerrard Square and the Lever Brothers site on the

Don Roadway, and the TTC’s Waterfront LRT, which will stretch across the waterfront to Leslie.

In what might be the least sur-prising transit news of the year, fares for the Union Pearson (UP) Express are going down by a significant amount.

The exact fare cut wasn’t known as of Tuesday, Feb. 23, but media reports had it drop-ping down to $12 from $27.50 for the cost of a one-way trip between Union Station and Pearson airport, and less than $10 if the purchase was made with a Presto card.

The writing was on the wall for UP when Metrolinx, which operates the service, announced in February disap-pointing ridership numbers well short of the 5,000 per month needed to break even on operating costs.

wTORONTO MAYOR WANTS PHOTO RADAR

John Tory has requested the province allow the city to make use of photo radar for traffic enforcement.

The primary motive for the mayor’s request, it would seem, is to save money on bal-looning policing costs. Having cameras installed at traffic

lights and elsewhere would prevent the need for expensive uniformed officers. It would also help to boost enforcement levels in precarious traffic areas like school zones.

There will be those who say the move is nothing but a cash grab. Of course it is – and a welcome one if it improves traffic enforcement in the city.

wDANFORTH GARAGE DECISION ON TRACK

The TTC will likely decide what to do with the old Danforth Garage later this year.

TTC chair Josh Colle will introduce a motion at this week’s board meeting of the transit commission for staff to report in September on the building’s future use.

B e a c h e s - E a s t Yo r k Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon initially requested the TTC look into community uses for the site, located at the

intersection of Danforth and Coxwell avenues.

The building dates back to 1915 when it was used as a streetcar garage, and then more recently housed buses. Currently, the five-acre site is used primarily for office and storage space.

wPRESTO TO APPEAR FIRST AT MAIN STATION

Main will be the first subway station to receive fare gates accessed by Presto.

The transit commission announced last year it would begin installation of the gates in 2016, which slide open when a Presto card is tapped.

It’s part of the TTC’s work to migrate fare payment to Presto, which is expected to be completed by 2017. At that point, older fare methods like tokens and Metropasses will have been phased out in favour of Presto.

Expect to see the fare gate at Main station in early March.
