Young Etobicoke women aged 13 to 19 are invited to take part in next month’s First Annual Girls Power Leadership Conference – a free, one-day event featuring special guest motivational speakers, a fashion show and a chance to get involved.

Organized by My Sister and Me – a local mentoring program for girls – the Girls Power Leadership Conference will take place on Saturday, May 11 at Father Henry Carr Catholic Secondary School, 1760 Martin Grove Rd. from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.

INAUGURAL CONFERENCE This year’s inaugural conference, said organizer Aisha Addo, will be the first of its kind within the community – tackling the issues that teenage girls face in society by creating a dialogue among young conference participants and their communities.

“The idea for the conference came from my own experiences as a teenager. If I had had someone to talk to and someone giving me advice and >>>GOAL, page 72

Multiple arrests made for stunt driving Seven of 11 arrests from April 19 to 22 made in Etobicoke Toronto police held a news conference this week in reaction to the “unprecedented” spike in stunt driving on the city’s roadways over the weekend – and of the 11 arrests made between Friday, April 19 and Monday, April 22, seven of them

occurred in Etobicoke.

“Over the past weekend, officers of this service encountered a number of individuals who were travelling on our roadways and selfishly and without respect for all road users, flagrantly abusing the rules of the

road,” Acting Supt. Gord Jones of Toronto Police Traffic Services said a media briefing at police headquarters on Tuesday.

“Some of these incidents involve speeds that were extreme – some as high as 85 kilometres an hour over the

posted limits. These offences occurred both on the expressways and in some cases on city streets – the same streets that would be used by you or your children.”

Here in Etobicoke, six of the seven stunt driving offences are alleged to have occurred on the >>>AGGRESSIVE, page 74

Largest one-day high school meet set for Centennial Stadium NORM NELSON nnnelson@insidetoronto.com Scarborough’s Neil McNeil Catholic Secondary School is hosting one of Canada’s largest high school track and field meets at Etobicoke’s Centennial Stadium this Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to about 6 p.m.

“This is the 40th anniversary of the Nike/John Rowland Memorial Games in honour of John Rowland, a former phys ed head at Neil McNeil,”

explained Steve Masterson, a longtime teacher at Neil McNeil who has organized the meet for the past 31 years with colleague Al Baigent, who is now retired, but is still very much helping out.

“The Nike/John Rowland Memorial Games is the largest continuous single day high school meet in Canada. Over the years we have had on average over 100 teams attend comprising 1,500 to 1,750 athletes. One year we were actually over 2,000.”

The premier event, added Masterson, is “the prestigious Nike 3,000 Invitational.”

“In this race the top 20 male and female athletes from the OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) cross country championships are extended an invitation.

Olympian Kevin Sullivan competed in this meet starting as a Grade 9 athlete.”

Other track events include the 100metre sprint hurdles, 1,500 metres

and the relays.

This year, he said, the running of the meet – and, in fact, Neil McNeil’s vaunted track program – have been handed off to two Neil McNeil teachers, Jason Wood and Ashley Masterson.

“After 21 years as head track coach I transferred those duties to Ashley and Jason this year,” said Steve Masterson. “Jason looks after middle distance and Ashley minds the throwers and all the paper work.

“Ashley, who is my oldest daughter, has now been involved in the school program for the last five years.

Jason, who is one of my former student athletes at Jean Vanier, came to Neil three years ago after a 10-year teaching/coaching stint in Memphis Tennessee where he was twice named the state high school coach of the year.”

Islington Golf Club marks 90th year TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Its location is a mystery to many.

But its members would like its secret to become better known.

Islington Golf Club celebrates its 90th anniversary this Sunday with an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Riverbank Drive club tucked off Islington Avenue just north of Dundas Street West. Tour the facility, meet staff and members, sample the club’s cuisine and join a complimentary spring swing clinic by club pro Phil Kavanagh.

A draw will award one attendee a year’s trial membership valued at $5,000.

Tracing the Mimico Creek, the 18-hole, par 72 championship course retains many of world renowned golf course architect Stanley Thompson’s original elements, a challenge for even the most experienced golfer with water hazards in play on 12 of the 18 holes, Dave Fox, general manager said.

“There are a lot of little nuances that make it interesting each time you play it. It’s challenging,” Fox said.

“The green surrounds and the putting surfaces can make it difficult even for the most experienced golfer.”

Its 585 members appreciate the absence of a tee time on the course, Fox said, which is a 30 minutes’ drive from downtown Toronto. club house renovated Its club house was renovated in 2011. A year earlier, the club partnered with Golf Canada to host a practice facility for the 2010 RBC Canadian Open, played at St. George’s Golf and Country Club.

In 2009, 60-year plus member John Tyers and Toronto police’s 22 Division launched the then-newest chapter of the National Junior Golf Academy with founder Kingsley Rowe for 16 youth from the Mabelle highrise neighbourhood around Islington and Dundas.

“It elevates their lives, exposes them to a different lifestyle, something they can strive for, and gives them goals. It works,” Tyers said at the time.

A celebrity classic golf tournament every May teams former athletes, Olympians, singers and actors with members in foursomes with funds raised donated to Sleeping Children Around the World.

The charity founded by the late Murray Dryden, father of NHL stars Ken and Dave, has provided more

than one million bedkits consisting of a mat or mattress, pillow, blanket, mosquito net, outfit of clothing and school supplies to children in 33 countries since its inception in 1970.

Last year, the club launched a limited time, one-year trial membership for $5,000, which returns this spring.

“I think more clubs are going that route. It’s an opportunity for someone to kick the tires and test drive it for a year,” Fox said.

“The membership committee feels by engaging people in the environment and atmosphere of the club,

Nine decades on the greens Islington Golf Club celebrates its 90th anniversary with an open house this Sunday from 1-3 p.m.

The Stanley Thompson-designed 18-hole, par 72 championship course has a storied history, including: w 1913: the club was the vision of entrepreneurs Col. Bill Rogers, E.H.A. Watson, Riverdale Collegiate principal and local realtor Mr. Chadwick. w 1923: Islington Golf Club officially established w 1928: Millar Cup established and became the premier professional match play tournament in Canada for four decades w 1954: Hurricane Hazel caused significant damage as members pitched in to clean up w 2010: Islington Golf Club partnered with Golf Canada to host a practice facility for the 2010 RBC Canadian Open

But a lot of social networks tend to form at the club; there are a lot of events. It’s a home away from home.

Everyone is friendly and familiar with one another.”

Doug Eaton joined Islington Golf Club as a caddy at age nine in 1969. He joined as a junior member in 1972 and has played the course ever since. Eaton’s father, John and mother Shirley both played, as did the couple’s four children. In fact, Shirley and daughter, Cathy, are the club’s only mother-daughter club champions, Eaton said.

“Some of my lifelong friends are people I’ve known there since I was little kid,” Eaton said. “The great thing about being a member of a club like Islington is the people you meet and the lifelong friendships. Some people I’ve ended up doing business with.

“People need to know about this amazing place. It’s an oasis in the city. It’s close to the airport, close to downtown. You can go for dinner. It has the most incredible patio and a world-class fabulous golf course.”

Police award three men for ‘bravery’ Three local men were recognized by the Toronto Police Service over the weekend for their “unselfish acts of bravery, courage and assistance.”

Security guards Keith Dewar and Gregory Van Hee, and south Etobicoke resident Peter Moore with Community Members’ Awards were honoured on Sunday at police headquarters.

Dewar and Van Hee, who were nominated for the award by 23 Division officers, were honoured for their “dedication and bravery in a potentially deadly situation” in connection with an incident at a highrise on November 26, 2011.

The pair were on duty that night patrolling the apartment building to enforce the ‘Trespass to Property Act’, when shortly after midnight they received a complaint that several men were loitering, drinking and smoking drugs in the building’s underground parking garage.

Dewar and Van Hee responded to the area to investigate and saw a group of men smoking what appeared to be marijuana. When the group saw the security officers, they immediately dispersed.

Van Hee began to chase one of the men up a flight of stairs and out a stairwell door, but as he got close to the suspect, the suspect spun around and pointed a gun at him. Van Hee immediately grabbed the suspect’s wrist and took him to the ground.

Dewar then arrived on scene and assisted in taking the suspect into custody. nominated by 22 Division Peter Moore, who was nominated for his Community Member Award by 22 Division in south Etobicoke, was recognized for his “quick action to assist another in distress” in connection with a near drowning in his backyard pool on July 16, 2011.

That day, Moore and his wife hosted a backyard pool party for friends and family. At around 7 p.m., three of those guests – a couple and their three-year-old son – all got out of the pool, and the little boy removed his life jacket.

As the couple walked away from the pool, however, they noticed that their son was suddenly not at their side. After a quick search of the yard, they saw the boy floating face down at the bottom of the pool.

Moore immediately dived into the pool, grabbed the boy and pulled him out of the water, then assessed his vitals and gave him two breaths, causing the boy to start coughing.

He is now in good health.

Construction helps keep roadways safe

T

here’s an old joke that there are two seasons in Toronto: winter and road construction. Except, it’s no joke when roads are closed and streets are clogged with frustrated drivers and transit riders either crawling through traffic or tearing through residential streets looking for detours.

Like the weather, road construction in Toronto cannot be avoided; it must be endured.

While the road closures and traffic jams may make our blood boil, there is no alternative. The city has a limited window of good weather in which to do the work and given the toll winter takes on major roads such as the Don Valley and Gardiner expressways, it must be done to keep the roads safe.

This year the City of Toronto will spend $155 million to keep roads and bridges in good repair and improve the quality of streets in need. Major projects will include Kingston Road between Birchmount Road and Queen Street; Albion our view Road from Steeles Avenue to Hwy. 27; Keele Street between Falstaff Arrowsmith avenues; and City to spend and Leslie Street from York Mills Road $155 million to Lawrence Avenue. As usual, there will also be closures of the on projects DVP and Gardiner for maintenance work.

With concerns about its safety mounting over the past few months, an additional $17 million has been earmarked for structural repairs and safety work on the Gardiner. Though it may cause traffic congestion, the city would be negligent not to do the work.

What construction season in Toronto does not need to be, however, is a nightmare for road users.

The city has lots of information on road work on its website. Ongoing and emergency construction updates can be found at www.toronto.ca/torontostreets Even more helpful for those trying to navigate the construction is the city’s new T.O. INview, which has info on all the work going on in the city on a wardby-ward basis, and ways to avoid traffic tie ups. It can be accessed at www.toronto.ca/inview The site also lets residents weigh in on the works and get involved in planning and setting priorities.

It’s easy to sit in your car leaning on the horn complaining about road construction, but as a form a civic engagement it’s useless. Do something good for yourself and your community instead, and take advantage of the opportunities offered by the city.

And remember, when you’re stuck in traffic, that the work is being done to improve the area and keep our roads safe.

Verbal gaffes revealing of our politicians Councillors lack the guts david nickle the city to give city the transit it deserves

T

here is a hierarchy of sin that mayors can commit while in office. At the summit would be actual crime — murder, drunk driving, theft and so on — and it shades down from there, through corruption, conflicts of interest, truancy, extramarital affairs, and so on.

Near the bottom of that list of sins, surely, is the old-fashioned gaffe. Which is a good thing — of all the things a mayor can do wrong, mis-speaking in an unintentionally amusing way is surely at the bottom.

Which is not to say it is without its impact.

Former Mayor Mel Lastman’s bad joke about being boiled alive by natives prior to pitching the Olympics in Africa embarrassed the country and gave a pretext to send the Olympics to Bejing.

When Mayor David Miller made a joke about police officers in jail with his London counterpart... well, it upset then-police-chief Julian Fantino.

And when Mayor Rob Ford, on his Sunday radio show, suggested that “females” who wanted to get into politics should call him at home so he might explain how politics works to them over coffee... well, it was good for a laugh.

Yes, it’s kind of old-fashioned to talk about women as “females,” and as some have pointed out, more than a little condescending to suggest that women might need to have politics explained to them. And asking women to call you at home to schedule a coffee date? The less said about that the better.

I would never wish, however, that Mayor Ford had kept quiet, any more than I’d have found Lastman a better joke writer or got Miller farther away from that live microphone.

The beauty of the gaffe is how revealing it is — how it

completes the warts-and-all picture of our elected representatives in the way that no press release can.

Lastman was, and is, that uncle who blurts politically incorrect things over dinner.

Miller was, and is, a left-ofcentre Torontonian with a disdain for police who dip toe in corruption.

And Ford? Well, he’s got old-fashioned ideas on gender, and also is excited about the business of getting elected.

Ford also understands the value of mentoring new politicians as a way of shoring up his vote on council.

He doesn’t understand how we expect men to speak about women these days.

But the mayor has had a very rough year or two, and has worn sins that climb considerably higher up the tree than this one — which really is nothing but a revelation of something that has been apparent for years now.

David Nickle is The Guardian’s city hall reporter. His column runs every Thursday.

To the editor: The only thing Toronto needs to get good transit is guts.

Guts to say we had a plan, it was called Transit City.

Guts to say we are fed up with the bickering on city council, and that we have a plan to get it done.

Guts to say we need funding and we need it now.

Guts to say we are going to pay for it ourselves.

Guts to say we have wasted enough time and too much money to start again.

Most importantly guts to dream and see it come to reality.

If you have guts to spare please send them to your local councillor.

transit expansion project.

What they have not said is that the average family in Toronto earns $96,865 and pays a whopping $42,823 in federal, provincial and municipal taxes already.

They ignore that the provincial government collected nearly $110 billion last year and will spend lots of it to subsidize grape growers, cancel power

vincent crisanti guest column plants and lay broadband cable to remote northern communities.

They do not say that the provincial government already taxes everything from beer to blue jeans,

and their transit plan includes little accountability to the public and no promise Toronto’s dollars will be equitably spent in the region. Instead, they bait the public with buzzwords like revenue tools and investments, which obfuscate what they really mean, which is that they want to tax you more. How much more? An

average of $860 per family per year, for the next 14 years, through fuel taxes, sales taxes, parking taxes, highway taxes and vehicle registration taxes.

That amounts to two months worth of groceries for the average family and all of a sudden, it sounds much less appealing. In order for the provincial government to be cred-

Road construction season descends on Etobicoke CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com It’s an old joke, but every year it rings true to the millions of Toronto commuters who take to the city’s roadways every day – in Canada, there are only two seasons: winter and construction.

With the last of winter’s slippery snow and ice slicks finally cleared from local roadways, drivers can now look forward to construction season’s endless lines of pylons and the traffic headaches they bring with them. And Etobicoke is no exception.

Here in the west end of the city, drivers can plan on no less than a dozen road construction projects in the coming months – from the $93 million rehabilitation of the southern end of Hwy. 427, to the major road resurfacing of Albion Road, to water main and storm sewer work on Mayor Rob Ford’s own street.

Ministry of Transportation spokesperson Astrid Poei Staff photo/IAN KELSO said the province currently has two contracts along Hwy.

Financial investment needed to maintain city streets RAHUL GUPTA rgupta@insidetoronto.com How do you repair and maintain $10 billion worth of city infrastructure despite a sizeable funding gap? That’s the question the city’s Transportation Se r v i c e s d e p a r t m e n t struggles to answer.

Under Director Stephen Buckley, the department is responsible for Toronto’s 5,300 kilometres of roadway, 7,100 kilometres of sidewalks, 500 bridges and 600 pedestrian crossings.

The department also oversees around 400 kilometres in bike lanes and path, 2,200 traffic signals and an estimated one million traffic signs. It issues around 100,000 permits, from construction to parking, in a given year.

Despite widespread agreement that wellmaintained infrastructure is critical to Toronto’s continued growth, Buckley admits some convincing is required on the part of elected officials. $500 million It would likely take at least $500 million per year just to adequately maintain Toronto’s road and transportation infrastructure over the next quarter century. In 2013, the transportation department’s entire budget was just under $330 million.

D o n Va l l e y We s t Councillor John Parker, who sits on the city’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, said he has long believed the city can prosper through investing in infrastructure and better public transit.

“We have to take some inspiration from the very real economic benefits attainable from lessening gridlock,” said Parker this week.

CHART

Mayor Rob Ford’s executive committee has put off talking about transit revenue tools for a month — literally the day after Metrolinx is to meet to talk about the GTA-wide revenue tools it will recommend to pay for the $50 billion Big Move transit expansion.

The report that the committee voted to defer 6-4 was intended to provide input to that recommendation. City manager Joe Pennachetti had said the city should endorse a few revenue tools, such as a parking levee, a regional sales tax and eventually road tolls and a re-introduced vehicle registration tax.

Mayor Ford, however, made it clear he was having none of it.

“I guarantee hell will freeze over before I support these taxes,” said Ford, who went on to cite provincial spending scandals such as the power

plant cancellations, ORNGE and e-Health. “We have to find alternative ways of doing this and implementing new taxes is not the way. This is completely ass-backward how we’re doing things.”

Ford pointed out that it was also always possible that the Liberal minority government might collapse when it tabled its budget in early May — making the revenue tool debate moot. spirited debate Ford made the comments in the midst of a spirited debate at the executive committee.

Councillors Denzil MinnanWong, Jaye Robinson, Paul Ainslie and Peter Milczyn opposed the move to defer the matter.

Scarborough Southwest Councillor Gary Crawford voted with the mayor.

“My concern was that this is something the province needs to be dealing with. They

should make the decisions on what tools they want and come back to us. It seems to me we’re doing their heavy work,” he said. legislative limbo The deferral puts the issue in a kind of legislative limbo for the next month. Council will need to muster 30 votes to introduce the matter onto the floor of council, because it won’t be in the executive committee report.

That vote can either happen at the next scheduled meeting of council, May 7 and 8, or at a special meeting of council that a majority of 23 councillors can call given 24 hours notice.

Supporters of the report were working Wednesday morning to decide how to do that — but as of deadline were playing it close to the vest as to how that might happen.

Francesco needs a new bike Join the community for a barbecue to raise money for an adaptive tricycle on Saturday May 4

Known in the community for his upbeat spirit, five and a half year old Francesco needs a new bike.

But not just any bike, an adaptive tricycle to help with his impaired mobility.

On Saturday, May 4 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. members of the Etobicoke community are hosting a community garage sale and barbecue to raise money for the tricycle. The event will take place on Ravenscrest Drive, just east of Martin Grove and north of Rathburn.

Thinking of Buying or Selling?

Neighbours within a two block radius will be setting up sales along their driveways. Delicious hamburgers and hotdogs will be on the grill, and the neighbourhood kids will be offering fresh lemonade from a lemonade stand.

Browse the items for sale and buy lunch for the family to help Francesco hit the side walk this summer with a bike suited for his special needs. For more information contact Eileen at ewylie@trebnet.com or Lisa at

lisa.kerr@gwl.ca or 416-6218506. Hope to see you there!

Rain date is Sunday May 5.

An agent that advertises in your local Real Estate section is always a wise choice.

Platinum award for Best Taxi Company

Beck Taxi says “Thank you, Etobicoke!”

Beck Taxi is the proud winner of the 2013 Diamond Readers’ Choice Award for Best Taxi Company, and wishes to thank readers of the Etobicoke Guardian for their support.

Beck Taxi is a family company started by Jim Beck in 1967, and managed by his daughter Gail for the last 25 years. The company is dedicated to providing

customers with reliable and friendly service within 10 minutes anywhere in the city of Toronto. Beck Taxi’s fleet of more than 1700 vehicles - approximately three times the size of the nearest competitor - ensures prompt and reliable service no matter where you are. “ We offer great service to riders and to drivers so that everyone has a positive experience in a BeckTaxi.

We are a team, and that is the secret to our success,” says Kristine Hubbard, Operations Manager.

For customer convenience, all Beck vehicles accept payment by cash, credit card, and personal or corporate account. Additionally, 90 per cent of the fleet can accept payment by debit card.

In an effort to best meet the changing needs of today’s cus-

tomer, Beck Taxi was the first company in Toronto to develop a taxi-ordering app. It is now used more than 2000 times daily and has more than 40,000 downloads on the iPhone alone.

“We just recently introduced the Android version of our app. It is a very user-friendly experience with a quick setup and no requirement to provide your credit card number,” says Hubbard.“The app tells you where you are based on your smartphone’s GPS and we send a cab. It’s a taxi in two taps!”

Beck Taxi takes driver safety very seriously. The company monitors the vehicles using GPS and doesn’t disclose this information to the public like some of the recently launched third party apps do.

Beck maintains 24-hour two-way radio contact with each vehicle so in case of emergency, drivers have a way to alert the company.

“We also have a Sensitivity Training Course that

every Beck driver must attend” says Hubbard.

“This course offers useful information for avoiding conflict, conflict resolution and encouraging drivers to trust their instincts while maintaining awareness of their surroundings at all times.”

For over 45 years, Beck Taxi has led the way in Toronto Taxi service, continually developing new ways to make their customers’commute convenient.

“With the established combination of technology and personal attention Beck Taxi is truly moving the community and our orange and green colours have become a staple of this city’s landscape,” says Hubbard.

4 Things You Need to Know When Buying a New Roof Shingle manufacturers have application manuals specifying how their products should be installed on your house. Your product warranty is supplied by the manufacturer, and could become void if the proper instructions are not followed when your new roof system and shingles are applied.

What you should know about roof surface or roof deck preparation: Your roof deck is the structural surface over which your roofing materials are applied. All roof boards and/or plywood must be fastened securely to the rafters, and damaged or rotten wood must be replaced. Your attic should be inspected before the work starts to uncover potential problems. A bad roof surface allows the nails to push up through the shingles, causing leaks.

What you should know about underlayment: A complete underlay system should be applied before your shingles are installed. There are two types of roofing underlay, waterproof and water resistant.

Waterproof underlay is needed in areas most vulnerable to leaks, the eaves edge of the roof; in valleys, at dormer sides, around chimneys and around skylights. Water resistant underlay, often called “tar paper”, is needed on the remaining roof area.

Water resistant underlay protects the roof surface in a storm situation where a few shingles blow off, but cannot be replaced immediately.

What you should know about ventilation: Improper attic venting can cause your shingles to fail prematurely, and your product warranty requires that your attic have proper ventilation. Venting consists of intake and exhaust. To facilitate proper air flow, your attic needs intake vents located in the overhang and exhaust vents at the roof peak.

A balanced venting system is required; otherwise air will be pulled from your house. An inspection of your attic is essential to present appropriate and complete venting solutions.

What you should know about shingle quality: You have many shingle options with regard to style, colour, longevity and price. Estimators should include at least three grades of shingles and inform you of the real expected shingle life. In addition to their aesthetic appeal and longer life expectancy, better quality shingles often provide you with the best value when measured on a cost per year basis.

Peter & Greg Walker Contracting rank as a top 20 roofing company in North America for providing long term roof warranties. They have been voted Etobicoke’s Top Roofing Company 12 times (including 2013) by readers of the Etobicoke Guardian. They are fully insured and have manufacturer certified installers.

Platinum Award for Best Health Food Store

Detox: Doing it right There is no escaping toxins, but the variety of detox programs/products available can be overwhelming. Our bodies are actually constantly detoxifying (a natural metabolic process whereby the kidneys, intestines, and the liver dispose of toxic byproducts).

Over time the functioning of these organs can deteriorate due to lifestyle, diet, stress, lack of exercise, illness, etc. When considering a detox, two things must be taken into account: 1) reduction of the toxic load and 2) providing support to the organs of elimination (like the kidneys and bowels).

Diet is critical to reducing toxic load. Commit to a 2-3 week period where you limit common allergens, including: gluten, dairy, red meat, coffee, and sugar.

These can put extra burden on the system due to high amounts of additives, pesticides, exogenous hormones and antibiotics.Taking a break from these will allow the body to clear out “backed up” organs and promote healing of the gut. Increasing water intake to 1.5-2 liters per day is also essential to flushing toxins out. A glass of warm water with freshly squeezed lemon each morning helps reduce acidity in the body and get the liver going. Exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep are also integral to detoxification.

Next, try to support the body during this process by adding detoxifying herbs like Milk Thistle, Dande-

Thank you Etobicoke • • • •

lion, and Licorice Root to your program (in a tincture or tea). Aloe Vera Juice can be consumed to encourage bowel movement and cleanse the intestines.

Expect some side effects in the beginning. Headaches, fatigue, changes to bowel movements can occur as toxins are flushed out of your system. Later, you may feel an increase in energy and improved metabolism as the body starts working more efficiently and becomes more resilient!

For a complete protocol for detoxification, please consult your health care provider. If you do not have one, tap into Nature’s Source’s extensive network of health practitioners.

This article is provided by Nature’s Source, proud winners of the Platinum award for best health food store. We are committed to always bringing you the best in natural health!

Cleanse, Stimulate and Repair Your Colon

Colon Hydrotherapy, also known as a “colonic”, “colon lavage”, or “colon irrigation”, is a safe, gentle and effective method of cleansing the large intestine of waste material by gentle repeated flushing with water. Colon Hydrotherapy is able to eliminate more toxic waste than any other technique. Clinical results show that colonic therapy can relieve skin conditions, weight loss and even P.M.S. Everyone can benefit from this simple, yet highly effective treatment which dates back thousands of years.

SPLASH named show choir champions for second year

OUTLET STORE! • X-Run 1/4 Zip Tee

TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com The Etobicoke ‘gleeks’ once again made the biggest show choir splash in Canada.

The 43-performer Etobicoke School of the Arts (ESA) SPLASH defended its title with a repeat win last weekend at the third annual Show Choir Canada national championships at Toronto’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

SPLASH beat out rival Scarborough’s Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts’ Gleek by 9.5 points. Last year, SPLASH eclipsed Wexford’s Gleek by a mere 2.6 points.

Wexford won the inaugural Show Choir Canada national competition in 2011.

More than a dozen show choirs from across Canada battled it out for more than $30,000 in prizes and the title of Canada’s Show Choir champion at the competition.

“My goal this year was really to try to model it on what the U.S. show choirs are doing; most have 50 performers,” Paul Aikins SPLASH’s artistic director and ESA department head of music theatre said.

“We were fortunate enough to do a lot of high-powered numbers and being the champions, used a big chunk of the money as an investment in our growth and development.”

To prepare, Aikins and ESA

SPLASH celebrates after defending its title with a repeat win last weekend at the third annual Show Choir Canada national championships.

colleagues Annie Wood and Louise Johnson worked with Chicago-based choreographer and show designer Mike Weaver and Brett Carroll of Burbank Show Choir.

It worked. SPLASH also took the competition’s group award for Best Vocals.

SPLASH’s 2013 competition entry, a six-song tribute to legendary American actor, dancer and musical theatre choreographer Bob Fosse, was no small undertaking, Aikins said.

“Technically, it is so hard to do Fosse’s style. The audience doesn’t know how difficult it is to dance like this,” he said.

“Every kid was featured. It wasn’t just six people down front doing all the work while the others stood on risers tapping.”

Jessie Munro, 18, agreed.

“This competition was incredible. We got to work with some great choreographers this year and to learn a whole new style of dance. Fosse is very awkward on your body,” Munro said, referring to Fosse’s challenging dance choreography. “It doesn’t usually feel natural. You hold positions for a long period of time to get the look needed. It’s challenging.

Some kids in SPLASH are as young as 15.”

Auditions for next year’s SPLASH are already underway with callbacks set for May 7.

While all 200 or so musical theatre students audition, about 70 are invited to callbacks before final casting.

Kia Motors unveils 2014 Forte Koup Kia has unveiled the third and final member of the completely redesigned Forte lineup – the all-new 2014 Forte Koup. Following the launch of the Forte sedan and Forte 5-door, the all-new two-door Forte Koup SX boasts European-inspired design and performance to match with a 1.6-litre gasoline direct-injected (GDI) turbocharged four-cylinder engine putting out 201 hp and 195 lb/ft of torque. As equipped, the SX is the most powerful Forte Koup ever.

Sales are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2013, and pricing will be announced closer to the Koup’s launch. The Forte Koup is offered in two trim levels, EX and SX, with two engine and transmission choices.

The EX comes equipped with a 2.0-litre GDI four-cylinder engine, and the SX comes standard with the 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder.

The Forte Koup EX comes standard with a 2.0-litre GDI powerplant producing 173 hp at 6,500 rpm and 154 lb/ft of torque at 4,700 rpm.

To help further improve performance, the Forte Koup features a sport-tuned suspension with a McPherson strut setup in front and a torsion beam rear design. The Koup rides on standard 205/45R-17 tires while 225/40R18 tires are included with the SX trim, further enhancing the sporty driving experience.

All-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee The renowned Cherokee name returns to the Jeep vehicle lineup for the 2014 model year.

Replacing the Liberty model, the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee provides a choice of three innovative 4x4 systems for best-in-class 4x4 capability in all weather conditions.

The Jeep Cherokee is the first mid-size SUV to feature rear-axle disconnect, resulting in reduced energy loss when 4x4 capability isn’t needed, improving fuel efficiency. The rear-axle disconnect seamlessly

switches between two- and four-wheel drive for fulltime torque management and does not require input from the driver. The Jeep Cherokee offers best-in-class V6 towing capability of 2,041 kg (4,500 pounds).

All 4x4 systems feature the Jeep brand’s renowned Selec-Terrain traction control system, which allows the driver to choose the on- and off-road setting for optimum performance. Five customized settings are offered: Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/Mud and Rock.

Through the use of algorithms that enable unsur-

passed control and capability, Selec-Terrain electronically coordinates and optimizes up to 12 systems on any terrain providing enhanced vehicle control including: drivetrain control module, electronic brake controller, electronic stability control (ESC), transmission controller, powertrain controller and Selec-Speed Control (Hill-ascent and Hill-descent Control).

The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk model exemplifies Jeep 4x4 capability with a distinctive, aggressive look, backed up by Jeep Trail Rated hardware, for the most capable Jeep Cherokee model and the most capable mid-size SUV in the segment.

The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk model with the standard off-road package is Trail Rated.

The “Trail Rated� badge on the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk indicates that the vehicle is designed to perform

in a variety of challenging off-road conditions identified by five key consumer-oriented performance categories: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording. – Metroland Media

Yes indeed, spring is in the air and all across the country Canadians are putting away their ice skates, dusting off their roller blades and consigning their snow tires to the garage.

Spring cleaning is crucial for your car

Spring-cleaning the outside of your vehicle means just what it says: cleaning everything visible from window glass to wheels and tires.

Take special care with flexible rubber and silicone parts like wiper blades and weather stripping as they can crack in cold weather; applying a product like Armor All keeps rubber supple and looks great in the bargain! Last but not least, check plastic headlight and taillight covers for scratches, cracks and scuffs before applying a protective coat of wax highlighted by a gentle polish.

clearer, sharper view you’ll enjoy from behind the wheel!

Smart Tip #3 Spring cleaning the underside of your vehicle is easily done, either at home with a pressure washer or at your local coin-operated car wash, and it’s important because what you can’t see can hurt you.

Blast away the accumulated mud, dead leaves and road salt that can build up in nooks, crannies and all four wheel wells. Once your car or truck’s underside is clean, have a licensed mechanic perform an inspection.

Smart Tip #4

Smart Tip #2

Spring-cleaning the engine of your vehicle isn’t on most car owners’ checklists because truth be told, most of us never lift the hood unless there’s an emergency. Your car or truck’s engine compartment isn’t vacuum-sealed, however, and you might be surprised what you’ll find after a season of winter driving.

Wind-blown leaves can settle in and around the engine, possibly becoming a fire hazard.

Dirt, dust and debris can cause caps and fittings to stick and labels to be obscured.

Your engine is the heart of your car so why not show it some love?Â

Spring cleaning the inside of your vehicle starts with exposed surfaces and includes a few places that aren’t easily seen like ventilation ducts and air filters; the latter should be replaced if they look dirty.

Salt- and mud-encrusted winter floor mats should be switched out for lighter summer mats, then vacuum and shampoo the seats & carpets – don’t forget to clean those grotty winter mats so they’ll be ready in the fall.

Finish off by going over the inside glass and rear-view mirror with a soft cloth and some glass cleaner – you’ll be amazed at the new

Spring-cleaning the trunk of your vehicle is a must; there’s nothing sexy about having junk in your trunk.

Start by removing and cleaning everything in the trunk, including the spare tire and the space beneath it. While the spare is out in the open, look it over to be sure its inflated and ready for use... just think of what could happen if it’s not.

Ensure the jack and tool kit are complete and securely tied down so they won’t rattle about. – Metroland Media

Goal of conference to help girls foster leadership >>>from page 1 guiding me, I might not have made some of the mistakes that I have,” said the 21-year-old aspiring social worker. “But I also believe that I went through some of the things that I did so that other girls won’t have to.

My experience, I hope, will empower other girls.”

As one of the founders of the My Sister and Me mentorship program for teen girls, Addo has been meeting weekly with about 10 girls aged 13 to 19 at a church in north Etobicoke since 2010.

“Basically what we do is we’re mentoring them and answering any ques-

tions they have in regards to school or in regards to relationships,” she said.

“It’s a safe place where they can feel free to talk about anything and everything that they have questions about.”

MENTORSHIP GROUP

• Topsoil • Triple Mix • Mulches • Interlocking Stone

• Natural Stone • Flagstone • Sand/Gravel • Retaining Walls

It was from that experience leading the mentorship group, Addo said, that the idea for an annual conference to draw in even more girls and even more guest speakers came to fruition.

The goals for this year’s Girls Power conference are: to provide girls with workshops that foster leadership, communication and networking skills and to build a sense of community; to get girls more involved within the community; and to mentor girls and to provide them with the right information and resources necessary in making wise and productive decisions for their lives.

Percil is a child sex abuse survivor and author who will share her story with the girls to empower and motivate them to love themselves, while Aidoo is set to address the theme of conference: ‘turning your passion into action’.

T h e Pre g n a n c y Ca re Centre will send a representative to speak to the girls sexual health and the choices women make when it comes to relationships and sex (ie. abstinence and the emotional toll of sex at an early age), and Toronto

Public Health will discuss nutrition and body image issues.

“We wanted to have this yearly conference where we can empower the girls, talk to them, and get them to know who they really are, in terms of the power within themselves and what they’re capable of doing with their lives,” Addo said.

While the conference is aimed at high school aged girls (13 to 19), Addo said she is hoping to hear from women aged 20 and older who are willing to volunteer as mentors, both at the conference and on an ongoing basis.

Aggressive drivers targeted by police >>>from page 1 Gardiner Expressway, the speeds ranged from 55 to 85 kilometres over the posted limits, the ages of the men charged ranged from 18 to 44, and alcohol was alleged to have been a contributing factor in four of the cases.

According to Jones, the top four causal factors that lead to injury and death on roadways are: impaired driving, aggressive driving, distracted driving, and non-use of seatbelts.

Of great concern to police with the weekend arrests for stunt driving was that so many of them also involved impaired drivers – “combining two of our top four causal factors.”

“To put these speeds into perspective, a vehicle travelling at 185 kilometres an hour is traveling at 50 metres a second. An NHL hockey rink is about 60 metres in length, so it would take a vehicle about 1.2 seconds to travel that distance,” Jones said. “That same vehicle, provided the driver could react instantaneously, would take in excess of 192 metres to stop – or basically the

length of three NHL arenas “The amount of damage that would occur if any of those vehicles traveling at these excessive speeds, if involved in a collision, would likely be catastrophic and almost certainly a fatality.”

In 2012, in fact, there were 44 fatalities and 66 life-threatening collisions in Toronto. Of those, alcohol was a contributing factor in six of those fatalities and 16 of the life-threatening collisions. Speed was found to be a contributing factor in eight of the fatal collisions and 11 of the life-threatening personal injury collisions.

The province of Ontario, Jones said, is fortunate to have

Join us for

a “supportive government” that has provided the policing community with the tools required to hold irresponsible drivers accountable when they threaten road safety.

Under Bill 203 – the 2007 Safer Roads for a Safer Ontario Act – those charged with stunt driving face possible repercussions including: an immediate seven-day licence suspension and vehicle impoundment; the loss of six demerit points; a fine of between $2,000 and $10,000; a possible license suspension of no more than two years; a likely increase in insurance rates; and a possible term of imprisonment of up to six months in jail.

“For those drivers using Toronto roads, take note: if you make a choice to drive aggressively, to drive impaired, to drive distracted or without a seat belt on Toronto roads and choose to risk the safety of all road users, we will be there and we will get you,” Jones cautioned.
