9 November 2004 President’s
Update Greetings
! There
was a very good turnout at the community meeting on October 4th
concerning the development of the site of the former Petro Canada Service
Station. This was due in part to a flyer which was distributed by your
Markland Homes Association (MHA) the weekend prior to the meeting. Most people
would not have known about the meeting, since only those within a few hundred
feet of the site are given notice by law. We felt it was important that as
many of you, who were concerned, had a chance to attend, albeit on short
notice. It is just another way in which the MHA can serve as a vehicle to keep
the community informed of current events. Hopefully, the launch of our website
soon will add to this ability to inform.
Many
of those who turned out posed questions for the people involved with
developing the site. Present at the meeting were the owner/developer, the
architect, Gary Dysart from the City Planning Office, Doug Holyday (City
Counsellor for Etobicoke Centre), several members from the Markland Homes
Association (MHA) Board and concerned residents.
Hopefully
those that attended were satisfied with what was presented to them and now
have a better idea of what is proposed on the site.
Basically, the plan calls for a dozen upscale town homes to be built,
with seven of the units fronting Bloor Street and the remaining five fronting
Mill Road. Automobile access will only be off of Mill Road.
Should you wish to view the plans, they are available at the Office of
the City Planner at the Etobicoke Civic Centre. Any comments or concerns
should be directed to that office and/or Councillor Doug Holyday’s office,
which is in the same building. The project is expected to be presented to a
committee of the City Council as early as January. We will endeavor to let you
know if there are any other issues, which arise with respect to this project
in the meantime. Thursday,
November 11th, is Remembrance Day. On this day we take time to
honour those who gave their lives in past wars for the service of their
country. You may have seen the commemoration of the 60th
anniversary of the D-Day invasion on television this past June or remember the
one marking the 50th back in 1994. Much has been written or filmed
about the wars and the extraordinary effort given by so many of these brave
men and women. I found it difficult to watch parts of the movie Saving Private Ryan, with all of its hi-tech realistic sound, as I
tried to imagine being in the shoes of those soldiers. For those of us, who
have been so fortunate to escape the first hand horrors of war, it may be easy
with the passage of time to take for granted those efforts and look upon
Remembrance Day as just some historical marker of days gone by. This would be
a mistake. The
very freedoms and way of life that we enjoy might have been altered, but for
the efforts of these previous generations. Earlier in my career, I was
fortunate enough to see where some of the battles of the world wars were
fought and to interact with many of the Canadian and U.S. troops stationed at
their respective bases overseas, albeit decades after the end of those wars.
Today, of course, we still have many men and women serving in the military and
some in dangerous parts of the world.
On
this Remembrance Day, and indeed on many other days of the year, take a moment
to think of the comforts and way of life that we enjoy and may often take for
granted and give thanks to the memory of those who gave up those very things
for us. We
honour and salute them. Best regards, Patrick Clifford President Markland Homes Association Deadline

Tom’s Desk One
prime issues in the media today is the number of Marijuana Grow Houses in our
neighbourhoods. It is becoming a huge crime issue and there are many dangers
to the public and police. The police recently arrested a group of people
suspected of planning a home invasion on a Grow House. Some of these Grow
Houses are booby-trapped. Most of them are ‘Hot-Wired’ to by-pass the
electrical input to the house and all of them use chemicals and have mould
that can be potentially dangerous. The police drug squad usually require
hazardous material (haz-mat) suits to search Grow-Op premises. These houses
are usually rented or newly constructed, but not in all cases. I asked the
police if there were any specific papers to read or a website we could visit
to research this subject. Unfortunately there is not. However, some of the
signs to look out for are: comings and goings of groups of people or
automobiles at strange hours; a house that always seems to be shut up; little
or no snow on the roof in the winter after a snowfall; lots of
fog/water-droplets on the windows or, strange chemical odours emanating from a
house. Houses having any or all of these signs DOES NOT mean it is a Marijuana
Grow Operation. These are just indications that it could be. If you suspect
that a Marijuana Grow House is located near you, contact the police at
416-808-2200 or 416-222-TIPS (8477). It
was a gusher on Thanksgiving weekend! While driving home on the evening of
Saturday October 9th, I was confronted by a huge pool of water on
Bloor, between Neilson and Markland and was forced to turn around and take
Renforth to get home. The water main broke near the fire hydrant on Bloor St.
at Markland Drive. Toronto Emergency Services responded quickly to shut the
water off and begin repairs during the long weekend. According to the workers,
the most common time for water main breaks are in the autumn months. It is
amazing how much damage water can do. It was also amazing to see how much dust
automobiles turn up. For those who walk along Bloor and/or use the bus stop,
the asphalt sidewalk patch is temporary and will be repaired properly in the
spring. I even got some new weed-free grass on my boulevard. In
the September Marklander, one of the promised follow-up discussions was the
traffic collision issue along Bloor Street West through Markland Wood. When I
moved to Markland Wood, I was absolutely amazed and shocked by the constant
sight of police cars, ambulances, tow trucks and crushed metal, once called
cars. I asked the City of Toronto for the collision statistics within the
Markland boundary, as well as intersections along Rathburn Road for comparison
data. Once again, I was amazed to see that over a five-year period, from 1995
to 1999, the collision rate within the Markland Wood boundary on Bloor St. was
as high as the figures showed. The data given to me was broken down into
intersection collisions and mid-block collisions. Personal injuries were
separated from non-personal injury collisions, called property damage
collisions. This data was compiled before the lights replaced the crossover at
Bloor and Mapledawn. 1995
to 1999 Bloor St. W. Collision Data: The
Markland Dr. W. & Bloor St. intersection collision data was not included
in this package. Markland
Dr. W. to Mill Rd. mid-block, there were 9 personal injury collisions (PIs)
& 10 property damage collisions (PDs), Total: 19. Mill
& Bloor intersection, there were 16 PI collisions & 26 PDs, Total: 42.
Mill
to Mapledawn mid-block, 2 PIs and 6 PDs, Total: 8. Mapledawn
to Markland Dr. E., 2 PIs and 6 PDs, Total: 8. Markland
E intersection, 24 PIs and 27 PDs, Total: 51. Markland
Dr. E to Neilson mid-block, 6 PIs and 10 PDs, Total: 16. East
& West Mall @ Bloor St. W: The
West Mall intersection, 28 PIs and 34 PDs, Total: 63. The
East Mall intersection, 13 PIs and 42 PDs, Total: 55. The
total collision rate in this 5 year period from Markland Dr. W to The East
Mall is: 125 PIs and 208 PDs, Total: 344. Compare
this to Rathburn Rd. from Renforth to Martin Grove, 49 PIs and 95 PDs, Total
144. I
know Bloor Street is a busy road. I know that Markland is used as a
cut-through for Mississauga and other motorists wanting to get to the airport.
I know you can’t always get stupid people to obey the traffic laws. However,
the collision rate along Bloor Street through Markland Wood is very disturbing
to me. Thanks, Tom

tlcnapier1@rogers.com School News Silverthorn Collegiate Spotlight
on Silverthorn by Kaushiki Bhowmick At
Silverthorn, October started off with the Thirty-ninth Annual Commencement
Ceremony, which was held on the 7th of the month. This was followed
by a “Club Month”, courtesy
of the Leadership Heads, which lasted from October 12th to November 2nd and
finally the Spirit Assembly, held on October 29th. These events made sure that
the atmosphere at SCI was always charged, with planning either one event or
another. At
the Annual Commencement, Ms. Stefulic, Principal, addressed the graduates at
the beginning of the ceremony, reminding them how much a small act on
someone’s part might mean to somebody else. There was an invocation by
Sarmad Gilani, the current SAC president, who told the graduates about his
experience as a president and later on also introduced Samantha Hicks, former
SAC president and valedictorian. She delivered a very touching speech,
reminiscing about the times that the grads had during their four years of high
school and wishing her peers good luck in the future. Before the Valedictory
Address, diplomas were presented. The presentation of the diplomas was
followed by the presentation of the Thorn awards and various scholarships.
During the presentation of the diplomas, there was an amazing performance of
“Dare to Dream”, arranger by Brubaker, performed by SCI’s Orchestra and
conducted by Ms.Kimm. After
the closing remarks by Ms. Butcher, and the recessional, the audience exited
the auditorium and made their way to the cafeteria, which had undergone a
total makeover just for the occasion. The Grads were visibly enjoying
themselves, many of them meeting each other after a long time. The food
arrangements were made by the librarians, Mrs.Young and Miss. Ostrowski. Overall,
the Commencement was a very successful event. All the teachers and
administrators helped with the organization of the Commencement ceremony; the
behind-the-scenes work for the evening was supervised by Ms.Graves, with help
from the prefects and the leadership class. The volunteers were a great help
and most of them stayed late to help with the clean up.
Later on in the month, as mentioned above, the Leadership heads’
committee decided to increase club awareness at Silverthorn by organizing a
“Club Month”. During this time, all the clubs at SCI were required to make
a special announcement on SBS and set up an activity to tell the students more
about the club or put up a signup sheet for upcoming events in the cafeteria.
The “Club Month” was a great success, as the number of students joining
clubs went up considerably. The “Club Month” also served to introduce all
the clubs at SCI to the student body before the Spirit Assembly, whose message
was to get involved in the school community. As usual, the Assembly was
organized by the grade 11 Leadership Class and sported an interesting
approach. The Assembly this year was for all grades, unlike the earlier ones,
which only focused on grade 9 and 10 students.
Overall, October was a busy month at Silverthorn for both students and
teachers alike. Hopefully, November will be equally exciting if not more so.
Once more, the Spartan spirit abounds in the halls at SCI. Church News Bloordale United Church 4258

Crescent received a City of Toronto Community Service Volunteer of the Year
Award. She received the award at a special Awards Ceremony in the City of
Toronto Council Chamber. Ten other recipients and two groups were also
honoured that evening. Bette Kirk is a long-time resident of Markland Wood,
40 years to be exact, and through all that time of residence with husband Norm
and their four children, she has been involved in volunteering for one cause
or another. Bette’s citation in the awards booklet tells it all. Bette has been a volunteer with LAMP’s Ask!
Community Information Centre for more than 24 years. Bette ensures that the
most vulnerable and at-risk community members in her community have a place to
turn to for help. She voluntarily co-ordinates and staffs the Monday and
Wednesday food bank program and ensures that packages meeting religious and
cultural needs are ready for more than 200 families that use the service each
month. Bette is respected and highly regarded by the staff,
other volunteers, clients and their families. In addition, for 15 years Bette
volunteered at Meals on Wheels, where she assisted seniors with their daily
food needs. She has served thousands of community members who have sought help
at LAMP. Bette even learned Braille so that she could transcribe LAMP’s
information to make it accessible to the visually impaired. She ahs also served a term on the Board of Directors
at LAMP, and has joined various committees in the Lakeshore community.

there is currently a fundraising effort taking place to raise money for the
Carsbrooke Park Rejuvenation Project. I am proud to be a member of this group of local
parents who are putting their time and effort into making our community even
better than it already is. I would like to take this opportunity to bring
everyone up to date on our efforts and ask for your support in this great
project. Carsbrooke Park is located on the east side of
Renforth Drive between Burnhamthorpe Road and Rathburn Road.
As the park has not been updated in almost 40 years, the playground is
not as safe as it could be and the play value of the equipment is limited.
Other Etobicoke neighbourhoods have successfully worked together to
improve their local parks. Our goal is to raise $50,000 by December 2004. We
are amazed at the cost of new playground equipment: swings $3,000, park
benches $2,000 and $20,000+ for play structures. Our goal is for the new park
to include a junior play structure for children aged 2 – 5 years, a senior
play structure for children aged 5 – 12 years, junior and senior swings and
a covered sandbox play area. We hope to have equipment and new landscaping
installed by summer 2005. A number of fundraising events have already taken
place, most recently a very successful children’s concert featuring Markus
from Treehouse TV. On August 17th more than 70 local children
enjoyed the music and dancing of this award-winning performer. We are pleased to announce that we have already raised
$20,000 towards our goal. With the help of the Markland Wood community, our
new park can become a reality. How
can you help? Financial donations are a critical part of this
fundraising initiative. Tax receipts will be issued by the City of Toronto for
donations of $10 or more. In
addition, donations of $250 or more will be given Legacy Status and the
donor’s name will be engraved on a plaque to be on permanent display in the
park. Individual pieces of
equipment and benches are available for sponsorship at levels above $500 with
permanent signage. In addition to financial donations, we are hosting a Pub
Night & Silent Auction on Saturday, November 13 at The Wild Goose. We
hope to see many of our community friends at this event, so please mark your
calendars, talk to your friends and plan for a fun night out.
If you or your company/employer has items to donate to this event,
please contact me as soon as possible. So often we make donations to charities and never
really get to see our money make a difference. This time you will. The
Carsbrooke Park Rejuvenation Project is an excellent opportunity for you to
make a difference in your neighbourhood and provide your children and
grandchildren with a safe, stimulating and exciting park.
Please contact me to find out how you can make a donation. Danielle Eveleigh 34 Grasspoint Cres. 626-9567 The

Auditorium 500
The East Mall (just north of Burnhamthorpe Rd.) Mame presented
by Etobicoke Musical Productions. Music and
Lyrics by: Jerry Herman. Nominated
for 8 Tony Awards in 1966 including Best Musical!
When the young orphaned Patrick Dennis shows up on his Auntie Mame’s
doorstep, nothing can prepare him for the world he finds. Mame Dennis is an
eccentric, flamboyant, perpetual party-goer, epitomizing the wild spirits of
the Roaring Twenties. She takes on the rearing of her young charge with her
own inimitable style.
As the years pass, Mame and Patrick and their little ‘family’ grow and
learn the true meaning and value of love. They survive the hardships of the
Depression when Mame’s fortune collapses; they endure when Mame makes a
disastrous attempt to enter show business (helped by her best friend Vera, an
equally flamboyant stage diva); and they even make it through Patrick’s
engagement to the daughter of an ultraconservative banker.
The other members of this odd-ball group are Ito, the over-burdened servant,
and Patrick’s nanny Gooch, who goes through an ‘awakening’ of sorts with
hilarious consequences. This rich and vibrant story is told through some of
the best songs Broadway has ever offered, including “We Need A Little
Christmas”, “Open a New Window”, and of course “Mame”.
