NOTICE
OF MEETING
At the request of the Markland Homes Association, and further to studies
being undertaken with regard to traffic concerns raised by several
residents, a community meeting has been arranged for:
Tuesday,
March 20, 2007
7:00
p.m.
Council
Chamber, Etobicoke Civic Centre, 399 The West Mall
Traffic staff will be in attendance to discuss the various proposals and
to answer questions from the residents.
I look forward to seeing you on March 20.
Doug Holyday
Councillor
Etobicoke Centre
President’s
Update
I would like to begin this update by announcing the promised public
community meeting on the traffic issues in Markland Wood.
This event (details on the front cover) will take place on March 20
at 7:00 p.m. at the Etobicoke Civic Centre.
Councillor Doug Holyday and other City officials will be in
attendance. We will get the
results of several studies on traffic flow through Markland Wood, as well as
various proposals. The MHA is
interested in finding the most equitable solution for all residents.
This is the opportunity that many of you have been waiting for, so
please mark this date on your calendar and plan to attend.
We are also planning on holding another “Meet
the Directors” event at the golf club in
April. We last held a similar
evening a few years ago and it was a great success.
We have been fortunate enough to have several residents come and
“check us out” at our last few Directors meetings, but this will give
those of you who want to find out more about what we do, a chance to come
and ask some questions in a more informal atmosphere.
Several Directors, including yours truly, were recruited at the last
event. It is important that we
constantly strive to bring in “new blood” with fresh ideas and
enthusiasm, in order to keep the work of the MHA going and growing!
You will be hearing and reading a lot about the Bloordale
Park Rejuvenation Project this year.
I am continually impressed by the effort and enthusiasm of this group
of Markland Wood residents. There
will be many opportunities this year to contribute to this effort, and leave
a lasting improvement in our community.
Some of the plans for fundraising include:
a Markland Wood calendar (all you local shutterbugs get ready to
submit your photos!); corporate donations (please contact them if you have a
lead); door-to-door canvassing in April (volunteers needed); the staffing of
our MHA table at the Community Garage sale in May; a golf tournament at the
Markland Wood Country Club in June; a Children’s Story Time event; hosting
of our second annual Family Fun Day in Bloordale Park; and a Silent Auction
in November. Please look for
updates in future issues of the Marklander.
In late January, we had the first meeting of the consolidated Safety
committee. It was a great
success and we now have a core group of individuals who will be working on
several initiatives this year, including a seminar at
Millwood
School
on June 4, dedicated to Seniors’ safety issues.
We also intend to run a program on Internet Safety and Marlene Cater
has been in touch with representatives of the computer industry who may be
interested in co-sponsoring a local event.
This should be a fantastic, informative evening that all parents
should attend. More information
to follow.
Many of you may have noticed the article on Markland Wood in the February
10 issue of the National Post. If
you missed it, please visit our web site to see the article (www.marklandwood.org).
We will be co-hosting an all Candidates meeting in September, most likely
at Silverthorn Collegiate, in anticipation of the October 4 Provincial
Election.
We have already started planning our dues collection for next year, as we
want to improve on our most important fundraising effort.
We intend to prepare in the summer so that we can start collecting in
September, rather than later in the fall.
Notices were sent out with the last Marklander to those of you who
had not paid the 06/07 dues. I
apologize to the residents who had dropped off their $10 at our mail box at
Guardian Drugs, and still got the notice.
Much of the shortfall in collecting this past year is due to some
problems at our end, but I must still remind everyone that we would
appreciate it if you can drop off any unpaid dues at a Director’s home.
Please make sure that you leave your name and address with the
payment. The money raised goes
to all of the work that we do, including the annual Christmas Caravan,
Community Garage Sale, Renforth Creek Clean-Up and Family Fun Day, as well
as the specific issues that are covered in the Marklander.
I would like to single out one of our Directors this month.
Bob Cooke has been working tirelessly on a number of issues including
our continued input on the new design of
City street
signs. It shouldn’t be too
long now before we will be able to start replacing local street signs with
the
new City
design, along with our logo at the top, to help give Markland Wood its
identity as a unique City neighbourhood.
Bob has submitted valuable input throughout the process and I have no
doubt that he has had some influence on the final design, and for that I
congratulate him. I am also very
excited about Bob’s efforts regarding the designation of
Millwood
Forest
as a Cultural Heritage Landscape. There
has been much progress on this front and more information will follow.
This is a personal “pet project” and I fully support Bob in his
efforts.
Being a big football fan, I was pleased to hear from Markland resident
Peter Scullion, who is on the Executive of the Etobicoke Eagles Football
League. This league receives
less recognition than other local sports organizations and I would like to
draw your attention to their article in this issue.
If you are not yet on our email list and would like to receive timely
updates, please email me at the address below.
We will NOT share this list with anyone, and will only send emails
regarding issues of importance to Markland Wood (1-2 per month).
Enjoy March break with the kids. Spring
is on its way!

A
History of
Markland Wood. Chapter
2
In the last issue of the "Marklander"
we took an imaginary bicycle ride through the area in 1939. We stopped
briefly at the only public school in the region, which was at the future
location of the West Mall and Bloor. Our previous story was directed toward
the pre-teens, as I was one of them in 1939. Let us continue as a pre-teen
as we visit the school. The school is called Eatonville. It has just over
100 students. Immediately north of the school on either side of Brown's Line
(427) there are two farms owned by the
T. Eaton company. It supplies
dairy products to their downtown
Toronto
store. It is a three room school. Two of the rooms were added to the
original single room school, which was originally referred to as
"Swamp" school. We have no inside bathrooms. The outside unheated
bathrooms, or as we call them "shanties", one for girls, one for
boys are quite cold in the winter. On Halloween night the older boys delight
in climbing to the top of the school and cutting the rope to the school bell
so that we cannot be called to class by the bell on the next school day.
There are no Catholic schools in the area and most Catholic students attend
Eatonville school. Most of us are children of farmers, market gardeners and
working class parents. Most of the pupils live some distance from the
school, so we have to bring our lunch. The Women's Institute raises money to
help keep the cost of milk for our lunch as low as possible. For the grand
sum of 38 cents we may have half a pint of white or chocolate milk with our
lunch. In winter, at about 11 a.m. a mixture of half chocolate milk and half
water is put on to heat in urns on two pot belly coal stoves at the front of
the original school. At noon, we bring our cups to the urns to fill up with
"scum"-covered hot chocolate. Let's pretend as pre-teens it is a
warm
Spring day in May called Arbour
Day. We clean up the debris from the school yard
and start to turn the soil to
make a vegetable garden. After we complete our clean-up of the school yard
and plant some trees, Mr. Jim Dodd, the principal, allows us, after lunch,
to leave our classrooms to visit Silverthorn bush - the future Markland
Wood.
We walk a dirt trail westward
from school, which someday will be the continuation of
Bloor St
. We cross the creek just west
of where they will some day build Bloordale
United Church. There is very
little water in the creek, so we cross it into the bush
in search of blue violets,
dog-tooth violets, and jacks-in-the-pulpit. We are not permitted to pick
trilliums. There is little chance that we will get lost in Silverthorn bush,
for if we travel westward we will eventually come upon a dirt trail, which
is the beginning of
Mill Rd.
It is becoming late in the afternoon and we return to our school to retrieve
our bikes and rush home in time to listen to our favourite stories on late
afternoon radio. My favourites are Jimmy Alien, Jack Armstrong and Lil
Orphan Annie. Ask your grandparents if they remember such radio programs
before TV came into our homes.
Well, see you in the next issue
of the Marklander for our next story about
transportation, communication and shopping in this area in 1939.

School News
Millwood
Junior
School
Even though the temperature is
low, spirits are high at Millwood. We have done many exciting things,
despite the cold weather.
We have started our Laps for
Lungs program. This is a chance for the students to learn more about asthma,
especially because we have several students at Millwood who suffer from
asthma. We will have an outdoor activity day on Friday March 2nd to
show children how difficult it is to be active while having asthma.
Our Millwood swim team is well
on their way with practicing every Monday morning at 7:30 a.m., even in the
cold weather. We look forward to the mini meet on Monday April 2nd.
We have many parents who have been helping with this program.
This year our grade five
students are going to
Mansfield
Outdoor
Education
Center
for their grade five trip. Students will be participating in many outdoor
survival activities. We are hoping the weather will co-operate since we will
be going in April, but are looking forward to many outdoor adventures.
Members of the community are
reminded to use caution when parking in the school’s parking lot. There is
no parking on
Mill Road
or in the bus loop.
Please continue to check the
sign at the front of the school for information and important dates. Ms.
Carravetta and Sara S
St.
Clement School
Junior W5H
St Clement’s Junior W5H team
competed in the divisional meet on Friday, February 9 and won! The students
were really excited to go to the semi-finals on Friday, February 23rd,
again hosted at St. Clement. At the semi-finals, we lost by one point. We
were very proud of our Junior W5H team that participated in the tournaments,
which were both held at our school. The
team members were: Matthew Mazza, Katie Duffy, Ariana Cuvin, Courtney
Carrescia, Emma Wolochatiuk, Keegan Daunt, Jason Smith and Katrina Sajewycz.
Their coach was Mrs. Grabowski, who is the gifted teacher at our
school. Here is what the team
said: “In the first tournament our team played very well and won all our
games. Coming in first meant
that we would make it on and advance to the next tournament which was held
on the 23rd.”
In the second tournament they came out strong to easily beat Our Lady
of Victory by a lot of points. So
all they had to do was win their next game, which would advance them to the
second round of the tournament. Unfortunately,
their second game came down to the last few questions and was a real
nail-biter. They lost to Our
Lady of Sorrows and they needed just one more point to advance to the next
round! However, they were still
proud of their performance and for those returning, hope to do as well next
year. They had a spectacular
time and they made our school proud! Congratulations
to all the members on the team and their coach.

Silverthorn Collegiate
New Semester Excitement
With a new semester underway,
clubs and teams at Silverthorn are back at work, planning and organizing
events for the new semester.
After exams between January 29th
and February 1st, Semester Two began with a “Mini-Day” on
February 2nd. First semester report cards were sent home on
February 8th.
Love was in the air on February
14th as Silverthorn celebrated Valentine’s Day. Roses were
delivered by the Prefects Organization, while our school’s Free the
Children club, which supports children from
Third World
countries around the world, decorated a wall with hearts which contained
messages. In addition, the Student Activity Council (SAC) sold the
much-anticipated Matchmakers, which matched students up with one another,
based on surveys conducted the previous week.
On February 16th,
students enjoyed a Professional Development day. The following Friday, last
year’s graduating students returned for the annual Grad Visit, providing
this year’s graduates with actual accounts of university life.
March will prove to be a busy
month for SCI. Course Selection sheets for the upcoming school year are due
to Block B teachers on March 1st. On the same day, the Free the
Children club at Silverthorn have organized a Vow of Silence in which some
students have volunteered to refrain from speaking for the entire day in an
effort to raise awareness for the children that don’t have a voice in
poverty-stricken areas worldwide. Pledges for these students will raise
money for the organization.
Silverthorn has a Professional
Development day on March 2nd; students will not be required to
attend school on this day. There will also be no school between March 12th
and March 16th as the March Break will occur.
Moreover, a Spirit Assembly is
currently under the works for March 22nd. This will promote
school involvement at SCI. The following day, March 23rd, the
next issue of the school newspaper, SCI VIBES, will be released.
The Grade Ten Literacy Test
will be conducted on March 29th. Toronto District School Board
secondary school students are required to write this test to receive an
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).
Please encourage your children
that attend Silverthorn to sign up for UNITY’s annual Multicultural
Fashion Show. Students can model, perform, donate costumes for the day, or
be backstage helpers. This is a great way for students to express and share
their cultural heritage with the school.
The semester is sure off to a
great start!

Canvassing to Begin in
April
Thanks so much to
those of you who so kindly offered to help us with canvassing. We are
hoping to have a familiar face canvass on each street in April and
May. Canvassing won't take much of your time and is a great
opportunity to get some exercise and meet more of your neighbors.
If you can help, email us at bloordalepark@sympatico.ca
or call Danielle Eveleigh 626 9567 or Lori McKnight 621 7471.
Obtaining the community's financial support is very important to the
rejuvenation efforts so we thank you in advance for all your help.
The Etobicoke Eagles
The Etobicoke Eagles have been
delivering the
West End
’s best football programming to area youth since 1998.
Under current leadership, we have put just over three hundred
Etobicoke area youth, ranging in age from 8 to 19, on the football field
each of the past two spring/summer seasons. We provide quality coaching, all
equipment, and many other benefits to our players.
We work hard to provide Eagles players the chance to play regardless
of any obstacles to participation.
The Eagles play in three
different leagues, ranging from House League for the Tyke (8-10) and Atom
(10-12) teams to a Peewee (13-15) developmental team in the South Central
Ontario Football League (SCOFL) all the way to our flagship, Provincial REP
competition in the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL).
Having only been competing in our current formats for just over two
full seasons, the Eagles were the 2006 OVFL Provincial Champions!
Eagles success is not limited
to our Senior teams. In fact,
our Atoms made a dramatic turnaround last season, going from 1 victory in
2005 to just one loss in 2006! The
Peewee Eagles look to achieve the same this coming season, as the
undermanned squad finished a tough 2005 season with just one victory.
However, this season looks bright, with 62 players already
registered! This is a larger
roster than we have had at Peewee EVER BEFORE!
In fact, if registration continues, the Eagles will enter TWO TEAMS
in SCOFL in 2006!
This turnaround is a product of what we like to promote among our
kids. Win or lose, victory or
defeat, if we play together and commit to our teammates, we will be
successful at the end of the season. The
Eagles are ONE FAMILY; we annually conduct fundraisers and promotional
events that involve players of different ages and backgrounds working
together. We believe leadership
is important in all aspects of life, and w2ork hard to instill these
‘crossover’ qualities in our players, coaches and volunteers.
For 2007, we already have a Golf Tournament and Raffle planned.
We are a grassroots, community-based not-for-profit organization
governed by a volunteer Board. We
are ALWAYS looking for people
willing to help us out. From
coaching our players, to donating prizes for our events, to taking pictures
for our yearbooks, to helping provide bursaries for kids that may not be
able to afford registration, we rely on community sponsorship for every
aspect of our program.
So, whether your youngster is looking to try football this season, or
you are a fan of the game looking to ‘give back’ in ANY way, the
Etobicoke Eagles are a willing partner in Ontario youth football, right in
your own backyard! Please take
the time to visit our website and contact us, to see what we’re all about!

GENEROSITY REQUIRED
A number of Markland Wood residents volunteer at the “Out Of The Cold”
program. This winter program is hosted by St. Matthew's Anglican
Church and Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church. We are asking for
donations of "Canadian Tire Money" which will be used to buy
winter wear for our guests and we are also asking for donations of "Tim
Horton's" Gift Certificates. These will be given to our guests on
Christmas Eve, as Christmas presents. It is our intention that every
guest should receive enough "Tim Horton's" Gift Certificates to
buy themselves a coffee and a doughnut. We would like to collect
enough gift certificates for 60 guests. Please call Valerie at
622-8672 for more details. Thank you.
