Town hall draws crowds to discuss Rexdale shootings This year, 11 confirmed shootings or firearm discharges: superintendent CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com In 2012, there were 36 confirmed shootings in north Etobicoke in which 17 people were gunned down – two of them fatally. And if the “alarming” gun violence statistics from the first three months of the new year are any indication, 2013 is on track to be equally bloody.

“So far this year, there have been 11 confirmed shootings or firearm discharges and nine people have been shot, one of which died,” Supt. Ron

Taverner, unit commander of north Etobicoke’s 23 Division, told residents this week at a town hall meeting on gun violence.

“Obviously those are very, very alarming statistics that we’re talking about...Those are the things that we as a community – as police, as social agencies, as residents, as business people – those are the things that we have to approach and deal with and find some answers to. But the police can’t do that alone. In reality, the >>>CROWN, page 9

Volleyball stars serve up good grades on quest for gold Nine members of Bishop Allen Academy girls volleyball team sit on school’s honour roll CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Winning the provincial championships for the first time in their school’s history isn’t the only feat the Bishop Allen Academy girls volleyball team is celebrating this year – the 11-member squad can also boast the brains to back up that brawn.

With nine members of this year’s Ontario Federation of School Athletic Association (OFSAA) AAAA championship-winning team on Bishop Allen’s honour roll, the Cardinals’ collective academic average is A+ – a feat head coach Art Pietras and co-coach Rick Bianco attribute to the girls’ sideline dedication to their academics.

“I think what makes this team special is that the kids are just so smart,” Pietras boasted. pulling out homework “In between games at all our tournaments this year, when the other teams were socializing, our girls were pulling out their homework.”

Leading this year’s pack are 18-year-old Emma Buller, with a near-perfect 98 per cent average, and team co-captains Katie Zutautas, 16, with a 96 per cent average, and Sophie Bukovec, 17, who managed to earn an 88 per cent average, despite balancing academics with her sporting endeavors as the youngest member of Canada’s national beach volleyball team.

Described by Pietras as “brilliant”, whiz kid Buller recently won one of just 5 0 Q u e e n’s Un i v e r s i t y

tournament last year.

“It was a really amazing experience. We’ve won the (Toronto District Catholic Athletic Association championships) for the past four years, but last year we went to OFSAA and got cut short,” she said, noting that the team lost in the quarter-finals, finishing in fifth place.

“It was heartbreaking, but to win it all this year, I think that really shows our team’s character to come back from that. This year, we were driven to go and win.”

A big part of their motivation to win, added Buller, was that for four of the graduating players, it was their last shot at the title.

“It was great to go back and get that second chance,” she said. “Winning was just the icing on the cake – and it was such a great way to end our four years, too.”

Chancellor’s Scholarships, valued at $36,000 over four years.

The former Etobicoke Titan volleyball player, who plans to study either engineering or science at the Kingston university next year, said the key to balancing sports and academics is to “plan ahead”.

Zutautas, who Pietras said has an unmatched “volleyball IQ”, agreed. time management “It’s just a lot of time management and using time wisely. Because we’re all so busy, we have to make time for the things that are important,” said the Grade 11 Team Ontario prospect, who will be one of seven returning players on the Bishop Allen roster next year. “It’s pretty intense balancing all our practices with school work, but it’s the price you have to be willing to pay.”

This year’s OFSAA tournament, which took place March 4 to 6 in Mississauga, saw the Bishop Allen Cardinals win all five of their round robin games, a semi-final game, plus the final against St. Anne’s of Windsor to take home the gold.

Led by power hitter Bukovec, a member of Burlington’s Defensa Volleyball Club and Canada’s reigning national U18 beach volleyball champion, the girls won the tournament without losing a single set and without ever having more than 20 points scored against them in any game, Pietras said.

“They just played really, really well and they just gelled,” he added. “The on-

For Zutautas, who hopes to make Team Ontario’s beach volleyball cut this year, a possible future in medicine awaits; for Buller, an all-expense paid education at one of Canada’s most renowned universities; and for Bukovec, a continuation of the balancing act between her McMaster education and a flourishing beach volleyball career that will see her representing Canada at the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) U21 Beach Volleyball Championships in Umag, Croatia in June and at U19 FIVB Beach World Championships in Larnaka, Cyprus in July.

“They’re outstanding,” Pietras said. “Simply outstanding.”

W

ith Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak and provincial Liberal transportation minister Glen Murray weighing in this week on the transit debate, it appears transit is set to become a credible election issue.

We say credible because, sadly, elections seem increasingly decided by candidate personality and one-off issues that really have little bearing on governance.

At Hudak’s fundraising dinner Tuesday, he outlined his strategy from the party platform, which mentions transit expansion priorities in Toronto to include new subways. Murray said at the Transport Futures conference earlier this week that after “50 years of neglect” our view the Toronto region was finally making progress in improving Toronto’s transit links.

Premier Kathleen Wynne transit issues also mentioned in her Toronto a GTA problem Region Board of Trade remarks the importance of transit investment.

It’s good to hear Queen’s Park talk about transit issues in relation to what Toronto needs.

Those years of neglect, as Murray noted, has contributed to the current state of highly congested roads resulting in the worst commute times in North America according to Statistics Canada and the U.S. Census Bureau.

It’s not a matter of just doing what’s good for future transportation and land-use planning, but action is necessary to catch up on work that should have taken place long ago while the city was growing.

We’d like to see all political parties delve deeply and specifically into their plans for funding the economic engine of the province – Toronto.

Using generalist language, talking about support, doesn’t mean a whole lot when funding remains in question and competing visions for GTA transit remain in discussion.

It’s in the province’s best interest to provide detailed view and leadership. It would be naïve to think transit funding is simply a Toronto problem for Toronto residents. And we don’t think anyone does.

But political leadership needs to also sell its vision to other parts of the province – and they need to be clear and convincing in explaining why it’s critical the province go the extra mile to help GTA transit issues.

Future of Toronto casino now sits in the hands of councillors T

hey asked for a report on casinos. What Mayor Rob Ford and Toronto council got was a Rorschach blot.

On Monday, the mayor’s executive committee will be starting what could be a two-day marathon to consider the long-awaited report from Toronto city manager Joe Pennachetti, setting out “the facts” on the prospect of allowing a casino in Toronto’s downtown.

The report is a curious beast. It lays out many benefits to approving a casino – it would kickstart 10,000 jobs in construction, another 10,000 long-term jobs, and let Toronto hit the magic million-square-foot mark for convention space, which would help the city attract the biggest conventions and trade shows that apparently elude the city now.

The report makes

david nickle the city

mention of the potential downside, and also notes that Torontonians who participated in the public consultation this winter were dramatically opposed to the idea, and those who responded to a poll were more marginally so.

But it does not recommend any course of action.

What it does do is set out conditions for approval that on the face of it would make it nearly impossible for a casino to happen. Toronto would need to receive an unprecedented hosting fee – effectively splitting the fee the province would receive 50-50, with a guaranteed minimum of $100 million a year.

The private-sector operator, meanwhile, would be

responsible for any infrastructure improvements, including public transit improvements it might desire.

Ontario’s new premier, Kathleen Wynne, has made it clear several times Toronto won’t get a special deal.

The only way that Toronto could see the kinds of hosting fees that Pennachetti recommends is if the OLG offers the same deal to other municipalities hosting casinos.

In the parlance, that seems like a long shot.

Which makes it easy for councillors who are uneasy about placing a casino in downtown Toronto to support casinos, conditional on Toronto receiving everything Pennachetti recommends.

Before the report came out, Mayor Ford released a spirited pitch in favour of the casino – one of the most

convincing public pitches he’s made since the election in 2010. Given that, he will almost certainly be able to get the report through his executive committee next week.

Whether he can get the report through council is another question.

Pro-casino lobbyists have been at work on Toronto council for more than a year trying to drum up support. But so have grass roots community members, urging the opposite. Last week, a coalition of religious leaders weighed in with strong opposition to a major casino.

Councillors who were hoping for some guidance from the city manager will only be frustrated. As before, the future of gambling in Toronto will be theirs to call.

RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne declined to state her opinion on the shortlist of taxes and user fees under consideration by Metrolinx to fund transit expansion in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) during a speech Monday in Toronto.

But Wynne did hint that new transit funding could be made available by the provincial government before final recommendations this June from Metrolinx on paying for the Big Move transportation plan – perhaps as early as the forthcoming provincial budget.

“Stay tuned. I’m committed to putting in a plan that’s going to allow us to pay for transit infrastructure,” said Wynne to reporters following a speech at the Toronto Region Board of Trade Monday afternoon.

“We’re looking forward to getting the budget out and look forward to your reactions at that time.”

Wynne’s comments echoed those of provincial transportation minister Glen Murray,

“

Stay tuned. I’m committed to putting in a plan that’s going to allow us to pay for transit infrastructure.

– Premier Kathleen Wynne

who said earlier Monday the premier wants some transit funding in place ahead of the 2014 budget, when the Metrolinx’s recommendations would likely be adopted.

“The premier has indicated she would like to see some things happen in the nearer term,” said Murray at Transport Futures, a transportation conference held early in the day in downtown Toronto.

“She’s given an indication of the government’s commitment and that would be up to her as to what those are.”

During her 15-minute speech to a capacity audience gathered at the board of trade, Wynne did not state a preference for the desired funding tools to pay for a wave of transportation improvements for the Toronto region as part of the $50-billion Big

Move.

She said doing so would “pre-empt” discussions taking place by the public ahead Metrolinx’s June 1 deadline.

Instead, she reiterated her desire to see any new taxes or fees dedicated solely to building new transit.

“People need to know what they are paying for and they need to see where the money is going,” she said.

Wynne also said the burden for funding new transit must fall on everyone, not just one group of commuters. ‘no war on cars’ “Contrary to what some people will have you believe there is no war on cars, or cyclists or transit,” she said.

“We are all fighting for a better way forward.”

Representatives of the TTC board, including chair Karen Stintz, were in the audience largely made up of business leaders and elected officials. Also attending were Murray and other members of Wynne’s cabinet.

Crown attorney answers questions about legal procedures at the meeting >>>from page 1 police are really just a small piece of it. We need the cooperation of our citizens, of our groups, of our agencies, of our politicians, and of our city agencies.”

So set the stage for 23 Division’s Community Police Liaison Committee-hosted town hall meeting, which drew a standing-room only audience to the Rexdale Hub on Tuesday night.

Over the course of the twohour meeting, the nearly 75 residents in attendance heard from police officials about how they plan to combat the alarming increase in shootings and other violent crimes in the community, including the hiring of 15 new officers to 23 Division.

That exception to the hiring freeze, said 23 Division’s Insp.

Scott Baptist, came as a direct result of Rexdale’s recent spate of gun violence, which this year alone has included the slaying of 15-year-old schoolboy Jarvis Montaque outside his Jamestown home over the Family Day weekend, and the eruption of gunfire at Thistletown Collegiate Institute last month.

Randy Palermo, Thistletown’s principal, was on hand at Tuesday’s town hall to recount the events of March 7, when four individuals armed with a gun entered the school shortly after noon and quickly proceeded to rob students.

“They brandished a gun at that point, and a couple of the students just gave them their cellphones and away they went. But one student kind of elbowed someone in order

to get away and ran off into the parking lot,” he described of the incident, which sent the school into a three-hour lockdown.

“As these four individuals left the building, one of them shot at the student who was running away. Fortunately, he wasn’t hit.”

“

I believe that out of difficult situations, often come some real positives.

– Randy Palermo, Thistletown principal

While recognizing the ordeal as a stressful one for all involved, Palermo said it nevertheless gave school officials the opportunity to put into practice the lockdown procedures in which they’ve been trained, and to look into ways the school might increase safety measures in the future.

“I believe that out of difficult situations, often come some real positives,” he said.

Another positive? Unlike with the Montaque murder, which remains unsolved, Taverner said nine people were arrested in connection with the Thistletown incident the day after the shooting.

One of those arrested, he assured, was the shooter himself.

“That person, however, is now out on bail,” Taverner continued. “That isn’t a police decision, that isn’t a crown decision, that’s the court’s decision.”

Questions of such legal nature were fielded at Tuesday’s meeting by special guest speaker John Pollard, a guns and gangs crown attorney.

Pollard said that as a crown attorney, he relies exclusively on evidence provided to him by police and community members who step forward as witnesses to break his cases.

“I cannot win a case without that evidence. It’s been my privilege over the years to see some truly extraordinary members of the community come forward to talk about some pretty serious crimes – sometimes to their own detriment – and to tell their story to the court so that I could try to persuade the jury or the judge to do the right thing,” he said. breaking the cycle Gary Newman, who works with at-risk and gang-affiliated youth in his role as a program director for Breaking the Cycle, said Tuesday he likewise sees the need for the same levels of investment in working with troubled youth as is seemingly spent on working against them.

“I’m more concerned about if we are investing the same amount of resources on the streets to arrest our young people and to put them on probation and parole to monitor them, as we are looking at where they’re coming from... that’s another way to look at this,” he said.

Witness to Faith Cross traveling west from school to school >>>from page 1 carried the cross on their shoulders for the nearly

two-kilometre trek back to their school – singing Jesus Remember Me and picking

up awaiting clusters of their younger classmates along the way.

Transfiguration Principal Michael Gagliardi said the procession of the cross

through the neighbourhood marked it as an important symbol of his student’s Catholic faith.

“I think it’s important to be proud of our faith, and this is a tangible way for the kids to learn about it,” he said during Tuesday’s procession down The Westway.

“We think this is something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.”

Once the cross got back to the school Tuesday at around noon, all students were invited to take part in the Stations of the Cross. A community mass with the cross was then planned for Wednesday mor ning, after which the Transfiguration students were scheduled to carry the cross to St. Maurice Catholic S c h o o l , G a g l i a rd i said.

The Witness to Faith

Cross, he noted, has been making its way west from school to school since last year. By June, it is hoped the cross will have spent a day at each of the TCDSB’s 200 elementary and high schools.

For students like 13-yearold Stephanie Clark, the procession of the Witness to Faith Cross was an outing that served to bring students together in celebration of their faith.

“I think it’s really great because not only is it making our school unite in a spiritual way, but it’s also uniting St. Eugene with us, and tomorrow we’re going to be meeting with St. Maurice, so I think it’s a really good initiative from the board to sort of keep the religious spirit going,” the Grade 8 Transfiguration student said during Tuesday’s procession.

“I think it’s fun and it’s really cool.”

Reconsider these five reno ideas Custom renovations are often a great way to put your family’s personal stamp on a home.

However, you may want to reconsider if you plan on installing something as unique as an indoor waterslide.

“There is nothing wrong with transforming your home to reflect your family’s style,” says Carlo Racioppo, a broker with Royal LePage. “But

whether your plan is to stay or sell in the future it is important to keep in mind that customizations do not always have a positive effect on the value of your home.”

Racioppo recommends the following five tips to consider when customizing your home.

• Avoid extravagant personal touches. Before choosing to install built-in aquariums,

bold wallpaper patterns or green marble countertops, remember that over-the-top personal touches can potentially decrease the value of your home.

• Stay away from outdoor spaces that are not climate appropriate. In Canada the majority of us can only utilize our backyards for half the year. Additions like

outdoor kitchens or tennis courts might be something to reconsider.

• Beware of changing a room’s function. Sometimes the easiest way to decrease the value of a home is to decrease the number of bedrooms. Consider how difficult it may be for future homeowners if you plan on changing a bed-

room into a theatre room or home office.

• Reconsider the thought of having a pool. If having a pool will please your entire family, then by all means get one. But bear in mind a pool will never add monetary value to your home.

Pools require maintenance and can be a safety concern for small children. These are

issues homebuyers may not want to deal with.

• Think twice about turning your garage into a “man cave.” There is no harm in turning your garage into an entertainment den but if you ever plan on moving, keep in mind the majority of potential buyers may prefer a useful garage.

Sales drop while prices rise GTA realtors release March housing figures Greater Toronto Area realtors reported 7,765 transactions through the TorontoMLS system in March 2013 – down 17 per cent compared to 9,385 transactions in March 2012.

While the year-over-year dip in March sales followed the trend that has unfolded since mid-way through 2012, it is also important to note that the Good Friday holiday was in March this year versus April in 2012.

Generally speaking, there are fewer sales reported on statutory holidays and weekends.

In the first quarter of 2013, sales amounted to 17,678 – down by 14 per cent compared to Q1 2012.

"Home ownership remains affordable for a household earning the average income in the Greater Toronto Area. There are many willing buyers in the marketplace today,” says Toronto Real Estate Board President Ann Hannah.

“While some households have put their decision to purchase on hold as a result of stricter lending guidelines or the additional Land Transfer Tax in the City of Toronto, other households simply haven’t been able to find the right house due to a shortage of listings in some market segments.”

The average selling price in March was $519,879 – up by 3.8 per cent compared to March 2012. The average price in Q1 2013 was $508,066 – up by 3.2 per cent compared to the first quarter of 2012.

"The average selling price and the MLS Home Price Index Composite Benchmark was up on a year-over-year basis across most home types, especially in the low-rise market segments where supply remains an issue. TREB's average price forecast for 2013 remains at $515,000, representing a 3.5 per cent annual rate of growth," says Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

Key factors affect insurance rate Shopping for a home can be a fun experience, but with the numerous associated expenses it can be stressful as well.

One item that homebuyers rarely consider is the cost to insure the potential new home.

“Things like having to replace some flooring or kitchen cabinets may sway a homebuyer's decision, but the cost of insuring the home is rarely considered,” says Wayne Ross from Aviva Canada. “What many homebuyers don't realize is that by considering a couple of additional factors in their buying decision, they can easily save a few hundred dollars on their insurance costs every year.”

Ross suggests looking into a few key factors before making the big purchase: • Location – If you live in a low-crime area you'll pay a lower premium.

• Proximity to fire protection – Homeowners who live close to a fire hydrant or fire station will pay lower premiums as a

updated in the last 20 years, you might not qualify for insurance until it’s re-shingled.

• Other factors like the existence of a monitored security and fire alarm system or a swimming pool will also factor into your insurance costs.

Before you make the final decision on the purchase of a new home, talk to your insurance broker or company to determine insurance costs.

• Heating – Do you use oil, gas or electric? If you heat with oil, or own a wood stove, you'll likely also burn more money on your insurance premium.

• Wiring – Do you have breakers or fuses? Old wiring? Low electricity flow coming into the house? Answers to these questions will affect your insurance costs and eligibility for insurance. Your insurer might require upgrades.

Owner of Big Pete’s Woman, 36, grabbed from behind, purse stolen Swimming School faces sex charges A 36-year-old woman was mugged near Royal York Road and Lynngrove Avenue on April 1.

Police say a male suspect

Etobicoke police have arrested the 33-year-old owner of a local swimming school in connection with a sexual assault investigation.

It is alleged that between July 2010 and July 2011, the accused – who founded Big Pete’s Swimming School in 2006 – sexually assaulted a young female employee on multiple occasions.

Peter Thimio, 33, of Toronto, was arrested on Thursday, April 4 by 22 Division officers. He has been charged with: sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, sexual assault, sexual exploitation and sexual assault.

Thimio is next scheduled to appear in court on Monday, May 13.

Big Pete’s Swimming School – a semi-private Red Cross swim club that boasts “a great blend of friendly, knowledgeable instructors and a family catered atmosphere” on its website – operates from four locations across the GTA: the Good Life Fitness at 185 West Mall in

Should the Toronto Police Services Board establish priorities for integrity, ethics and professional standards for police officers?

And if so, what would those standards look like?

Those are the questions that a subcommittee of the board will be asking members of the public April 29, at a special city hall consultation meeting headed by board member and city Councillor Michael Thompson.

“We’re not asking people to come forward and say, ‘I was standing on the corner and a police officer came to me and said this and so

unknown direction. The victim was not hurt.

The suspect is described as black, aged 15 to 25, 6’0”, 170 pounds, with a thin build.

Anyone with any information is urged to call Toronto Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416222-8477 (TIPS) or 1-800-222TIPS.

Peter Thimio, 33, of Toronto is facing charges for allegedly sexually assaulting a young female employee.

Thompson sits on a subcommittee of the board tasked with developing the board’s 2014-2016 business plan. And he said that the service needs to focus on building — and in some cases rebuilding — trust with the public, in the continuing aftermath of the 2010 mass arrests when Toronto hosted the G20.

The meeting is set for the evening of April 29 at Toronto City Hall.

The spring garden guide Spring is the season of rebirth and re-growth. Which also means green-thumbs can’t wait to get back in those gardens! To get you started, here are some helpful tips from garden guru Peter Cantley.

• Make your garden beds. Rid planting areas of weeds and spread a 4-inch layer of compost or manure over soil. Using a pitchfork, mix soil and compost going about 10 inches deep until you’ve got moist crumbly soil.

• Primp and prune. Remove dead or damaged branches from woody shrubs or trees before new leaf growth begins.

Prune spring-flowering shrubs and trees only after the first spring bloom.

• Take some tests. Different planting areas may have different needs. Check the pH balance of soil in each spot with a home soil test kit. Then as new growth appears you can treat each one with the fertilizer and amendments required.

CANTLEY’S DOS AND DON’TS • DO water the garden before 10 a.m. If you leave watering for the hotter hours almost half the amount of water you apply will evaporate in the summer heat.

• DON’T cut back foliage of bulbs until it dries naturally. The bulb needs green leaves to make food for next season. Cutting foliage too early results in small, weak bulbs the following year.

• DO fertilize roses every week, all summer long. Most hybrids are

very heavy feeders and need a lot of fertilizer for beautiful and healthy blooms. Be sure to plant your bushes in a location with plenty of sunlight and leave at least 3 feet in between plants for good air circulation.

• DON’T forget to experiment with new perennials every year.

Each year, we showcase some of the latest introductions and it’s a wonderful treat to find new plants to enjoy in the garden.

Make spring cleaning a breeze When it comes to keeping your home neat and tidy, there are some rooms we rationalize about cleaning later, but now ‘later’ has arrived in the form of the annual spring clean.

Here are some tips to help you take on the hard-to-clean spaces like the kitchen and the garage:

KITCHEN TIPS: Get away with easy clean-ups when you can. Place a glass cereal bowl in the microwave with a bit of lemon juice and heat for about 5 minutes. The steam will remove stuck on food for an easy clean-up with paper towel.

Get rid of cooking build-up.

This will help you decide what to purge.

CHAINWIDE

GRAND OPENING SALE

USE THE WALLS FOR STORAGE.

Food splatters or dirty fingers can leave messes on finished walls.

Use a heavy-duty grease remover to lift away the toughest soils.

GARAGE TIPS: Define the space. Before you begin, assess the space and figure out how you want to use it: for parking, storage, or both.

The garage is an ideal place to think vertically. Install shelves to house items and organize them by section: tools, seasonal storage, or items you may use frequently.

USE MULTI-PURPOSE PRODUCTS. To save money and time, shop carefully for cleaning aids that can be used for different surfaces, and are multi-purpose for indoors and outdoors.

Subaru introduces its first production hybrid model Subaru Canada, Inc. (SCI) has announced the brand’s first-ever production hybrid vehicle, the Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid.

Based on the popular XV Crosstrek crossover introduced for 2013, the 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid model will arrive in Subaru dealerships during the fourth quarter of 2013.

In developing its first-ever hybrid, Subaru chose one of its popular, go-anywhere crossover vehicle platforms.

As a result, the new XV Crosstrek Hybrid offers all the capability and

versatility of the gasoline-powered XV Crosstrek.

The Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid combines a 2.0-litre Subaru “boxer” engine with a 13.4-horsepower electric motor that’s integrated into the Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

A 100-volt, 13.5-kilowatt nickelmetal hydride battery is located under a revised rear floor area and the engine uses an integrated starter/ generator for the automatic start/ stop feature.

The compact hybrid system weighs

just 95 kilograms and places the electric motor just behind the transmission and in front of the continuously variable transfer clutch. With the addition of all the new features, the XV Crosstrek Hybrid weighs approximately 136 kilograms more than the gasoline engine XV Crosstrek.

Under light acceleration, the Subaru-engineered hybrid system uses the electric motor for initial vehicle acceleration and then starts the gasoline engine once underway.

The electric motor can also provide motor assist for acceleration in

2013 FIT DX

ENHANCED 2013 CIVIC DX

The Kia Sorento for 2014 (SX AWD V6 model shown) takes a good thing and makes it better through a thorough use of 80 per cent new or ungraded components.

Kia Sorento 2014 – refreshed and ready Little things can mean a lot. And when you are Kia, little things constantly being changed and/or upgraded is almost a daily occurrence.

Such is the case with the 2014 version of Kia’s biggest SUV, the Sorento.

For instancem more than 80 per cent of the parts or materials on the 2014 Sorento have been replaced or enhanced over the 2013 model.

The big change is the switch to a new 3.3-litre direct injection V6 that replaces the 3.5-litre unit in the 2013 model.

Producing 290 hp and 252 lb/ft of torque, it is more powerful than the 276 hp and 248 lb/ft in the 3.5-litre. It is also more fuel-efficient giving 11.4/8.0L/100 km (25/35 mpg) city/highway in the front-wheel-drive models and 11.9/8.4L/100 km (24/34 mpg) in the all-wheel-drive version.

The standard engine in the entry-level models remains a 2.4-litre direct injection inline four-cylinder now producing 191 hp and 181 lb/ft of torque. Fuel consumption for the FWD model is 10.4/7.1L/100 km (27/40 mpg) city/highway; 2.4-litre AWD and 10.9/7.8L/100 km (26/36 mpg) and in the AWD versions.

All 2014 Sorentos are equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission with selectable sequential manual shifting. Also new is FlexSteer, an adaptable electric power steering that allows the driver to change the ride feel three ways – Comfort, Normal and Sport. There is a button on the steering wheel that lets the driver make the change.

The version I spent most of my drive time in was the topline SX V6 with AWD and with seven-passenger seating and, folks; it’s big inside.

Front seats are heated with the second row also available with heated seat cushions. On the SX the front seats are also cooled.

Instrumentation on the Sorento follows the previous practice of making most of the controls accessible within a hand’s reach from the steering wheel. The centre stack has been redesigned for a more user-friendly experience with attention to housing Kia’s all-new large touch screen, which integrates navigation, access to the premium Infinity audio system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio and Bluetooth handsfree connectivity.

Other available key added features include Kia’s first-ever power liftgate, a redesigned panoramic sunroof that operates with a one-piece poweroperated shade, integrated second row sliding sunshades and a 110-volt power inverter.

All the safety and driver aids possible are found in the Sorento such as ABS, traction control and stability control but new is Blind Spot Detection. It has a visual prompt when another vehicle is in the blind spot and adds a audible tone if that vehicle is too close.

Even though there are two engines and two drivetrains there are ten trim and price levels making it possible to start with the base FWD LX at $26,695 or $28,695 for AWD in 2.4-litre from to the FWD LX V6 at $29,495 and $32,695 with the V6 and third row seats.

The mid-level EX makes AWD standard and costs $34,195 or $35,395 with the optional huge sunroof. Top of the line is the SX AWD V6 at $40,595 or $41,795 with the third row seats.

There are a number of great mid-size SUVs out there right now, but if you are in the market, test drive a Sorento and learn why the company motto is “the power to surprise�. – Jim Robinson Metroland Media

Traffic light location stays despite residents’ opposition TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com The future location of a new traffic signal at Burnhamthorpe and Meadowbank roads incited a tete-a-tete this week between two Etobicoke councillors.

City councillors in Etobicoke and York endorsed a city staff recommendation Tuesday to install the $100,000 traffic signals at the central Etobicoke intersection to replace an existing pedestrian crossover.

Councillors approved the location over objections of some residents in Councillor Peter Milczyn’s adjacent ward, as well as those of parishioners and clergy of St. James United Church on Bloor Street West, who advocated a preferred location east of the existing crossover across from the church.

The intersection is in Etobicoke Centre Doug Holyday’s ward, but is near the boundary of Milczyn’s ward.

A recent city-conducted pedestrian crossover audit indicated 85 per cent of vehi-

cles travelled 61 kilometres per hour on the 50 km/h road.

That traffic speed makes the pedestrian crossover “no longer environmentally suitable for pedestrian crossings”, city transportation staff indicated in a May 2012 report.

Milczyn had requested the staff review on behalf of an area resident.

Tom Pallin, whose home is located at the existing crossover, urged councillors to move the future traffic light 150 metres east. ‘more red lights’ “The impact of the traffic light will be more red lights, more idling and decreased air quality in the neighbourhood. This will be the fifth light between The East Mall and The West Mall in a 700-metre stretch. We understand safety is the No. 1 concern. But this is not the right location. It is too close to the other light,” Pallin said.

Pallin’s neighbour Manny Dhillon agreed.

“There is a lot of pedestrian traffic coming to and going

from (St. James United) church. People jaywalk or they cross at Meadowbank or at The East Mall. It would be beneficial to move this light closer to the church,” Dhillon said.

Ultimately, councillors disagreed and voted with Holyday, against Milczyn.

Milczyn moved a motion to ask city staff to consider moving the future light to a mid-block location at 400 Burnhamthorpe Rd., and to consult residents and the TTC prior to reporting back to Etobicoke York Community Council’s June session.

“The purpose of this crossing is not to control the flow of cars, it is to assist people crossing Burnhamthorpe Road safely,” Milczyn said. “Its location at Meadowbank chosen many years ago for whatever reason is very close to The East Mall. Full signalized traffic lights spread out a little would give pedestrians more alternatives to cross where they want to cross.”

Milczyn’s motion failed.

Councillors supported Holyday’s motion to replace

Councillors approve 45-storey condo

the crossover with the traffic light in its existing, staffrecommendation location.

“Staff picked the location for the safety of pedestrians and those using the road. The

problem here is if you move it, you involve a lot more people in the problem, including people who use the bus stops. Although both locations are safe, we are entering into

unsafe conditions if we move the crosswalk that has been there for 25 years.”

Secrets revealed to help you…

Beat Lower Back, Disc And Sciatic Pain Now

T

hankfully, new natural treatment methods help many find the relief they had been searching for.

Sciatica is a painful condition that affects the sciatic nerve. The pain usually radiates into one or both buttocks, descends the back of the leg and can sometime be felt in the foot. It is often a severe, knife-like pain, but can also be noticed as numbness or tingling in the leg and foot. It is unpredictable and does not go away even when you change positions or lay down.

Sciatica can result from years of poor posture, muscle strain, pregnancy, excess weight, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a very soft mattress.

Sciatica is often a symptom of a slipped disc, pinched nerve or arthritis.

Although pain pills may temporarily cover up the symptoms, our holistic approach can provide a more effective, long term relief. “Our team members apply their individual skills and knowledge to make an accurate diagnosis and administer the right treatment that will get the best result for each patient.”

Dr. Peter Ng has a special interest in natural pain relief and Chinese medicine.

‘There are almost no limits to development’: Milczyn TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com A 45-storey condominium will be coming to Park Lawn Road.

City councillors in Etobicoke and York voted Tuesday to approve without debate a 523-unit condo to be built above 1,230 square metres of commercial space on a property just north of Lake Shore Boulevard West.

Neither did any residents appear to speak to the matter.

Only Councillor Peter Milczyn voted against the motion.

Milczyn asked the city planner on the file what, if anything, governs building height restrictions in the Humber Bay Shores area, a condominium neighbourhood that abuts the west side of the Humber River. Previously, the area had been home to Etobicoke’s Lake Shore motel strip.

“Is the only criteria limiting height in Humber Bay

Shores if the building casts a shadow on a sensitive area or is there no height limit,” Milczyn asked.

“There is no height limit,” city senior planner Michael Hynes confirmed. condo application Milczyn voted against area Councillor Mark Grimes’ motion to approve city staff recommendations to green light the condo application.

“There are almost no limits to development. We’re destroying employment lands and there is almost no improvement to transportation. I will not support this,” Milczyn said.

Grimes remarked that the city recently lost its fight alongside Christie’s at the Ontario Municipal Board to retain the Christie’s Bakery property on Park Lawn as employment lands. Property owner Mondelez Canada wants to redevelop the lands with condominiums.

Grimes said he would invite TTC chair Karen Stintz out to the streetcar loop to speak with her about moving it.

The rear of the 10 Park Lawn Rd. property will be transferred to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to be developed into a public trail, which abuts the Mimico Creek valley system.

The land is part of four properties known as the Park Lawn Block. In 2006, the Ontario Municipal Board redesignated the entire block from employment uses to mixed use areas and allowed for a maximum of 2,194 residential units in the block. At present, the Park Lawn Block is approved for 1,978 units.

Currently, the property is occupied by a three-storey office building where Kraft Canada had previously been a tenant prior to moving across the street on to the Christie’s property.
