Kathryn and Craig Lloyd stand amongst the milkweed flowers in the Don Valley ravine south of Cummer Avenue Sunday as they prepare for that day’s Monarch Crusaders’ second annual Milkweed Fluffing Party. Distributing the milkweed seeds is important for the life cycle of the monarch butterfly, as the insects rely on milkweed plants to lay their eggs on in the spring. Milkweed is also a source of food for the monarch larvae (caterpillars).

Incumbent Frank DiGiorgio was re-elected Monday in Ward 12 York South-Weston in what was one of the clos-est races in the city.
Facing three other can-didates with growing pro-fi les in the community, Di Giorgio was able to capture the majority of the ballots cast with 4,784 votes, edging former York South-Weston MP John Nunziata, a late addition to the Ward 12 race, who captured 4,546 votes.
“I’ve run in a lot of elec-tions, but this one is probably the most hard-fought elec-tion and the most gratifying for me,” said Di Giorgio, at the Meridian Banquet Hall at 2301 Keele St., where he held his victory party.
“Everybody came out to help. I honestly believe we gained momentum.”
Nick Dominelli fi nished third, losing his third munic-ipal election race against the incumbent. He garnered 3,742 votes.
First-time candidate and For Youth Initiative execu-tive director Lekan Olawoye’s grassroots campaign also fell short with 3,441 votes.
Despite calls for change by the challengers throughout
the election campaign and accusations the incumbent was not around in the com-munity, Di Giorgio argued otherwise.
“It just means people have some faith in me to do the things I still want to do,” he said.
“Over the next four years, people will find that I’m accessible.”
Nunziata, who came in
second with fewer than 300 votes separating him and Di Giorgio, congratulated Di Giorgio on his re-election and for running a clean race.
“It is what it is,” said Nunziata, who plans to continue working at his law practice. “I’ve been here before.”
Despite the close fi nish, Nunziata doesn’t seem to
have aspirations for running again in four years, noting he’ll be 64 at that time.
“You can never say never, but it’s very unlikely,” he said. “But I’m humbled by the level of support.”
Di Giorgio has been a councillor for York South-Weston since 2000.

Parker accepts voters’ decision
RAHUL [email protected]
It wasn’t the result he wanted, but John Parker said he’s accepted the verdict of Ward 26 Don Valley West voters who handed him a surprising election loss this week.
“The job of any elected position is a gift from the voters, and the voters have the prerogative to take it away when they see fi t to do so,” said Parker, refl ecting on the result a day after losing his seat as councillor of Ward 26 to challenger Jon Burnside.
“I understand the rules of the game, and I accept the position of the voters.”
Parker was the only incum-bent to lose in Toronto’s municipal election Monday, fi nishing second to Burnside in a rematch of the 2010 elec-tion.
Parker blamed “political spin” for sustained criticism from opponents during the election campaign that he was an aloof councillor out of touch with community concerns.
Parker said he paid close attention to local interests including saving the historic Pease Foundry Company Building in Leaside from demolition, which he said played an enormous role in revitalizing Laird Drive.
Burnside was endorsed by mayor-elect John Tory, who canvassed alongside the former police offi cer around Thorncliffe Park just a day before the election.
Burnside promised to look after the interests of all Ward 26 residents and listed local traffi c congestion and devel-opment as key concerns.
Burnside also promised to engage with Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park residents at the south end of the ward, who complained
about a lack of representation of their interests while Parker was in power.
“There are a lot of won-derful people with amazing qualifi cations, but we need to get the resources which are available to them,” he said.
Burnside also promised to support Tory and his SmartTrack transit plan, of which he said he was a “big believer.”
“I was talking about that general concept four years ago because I knew there are a lot of existing under-utilized rail lines. It just seems like the sensible thing to do,” he said.
Parker also wished Tory – whom he endorsed for mayor – well.

Mayor-elect John Tory must quickly prove he’s a wise choice.
More than 60 percent of eligible Torontonians went to the polls on Monday, and elected Tory by a six-per-cent margin over rival Doug Ford.
This signals at least a temporary end to the Ford reign in Toronto, but it wasn’t enough of a victory to suggest Torontonians have denounced any Fordian influence.
In fact, 36 of 37 incumbent council members were re-elected, suggesting Torontonians are happy with their representation at a neighbourhood level – there’s just a different expectation of the person seated in the mayor’s chair.
Tory must achieve significantly better results work-ing with the same councillors who set a dysfunctional
tone of civic government during the past four years.
Tory has a small window to establish his credibility.
So let’s see him build some quick consensus on SmartTrack or a similar transit plan, and convince various levels of government and potential other funding agencies
that the plan will stick and it is the will of Torontonians.Tory must quickly prove he has the ear and the
interest of both provincial and federal governments. We’d like to see quick signs from the province and the federal government that Toronto’s future issues are a priority befitting the economic engine of the province and there’s no trepidation dealing with – and believing in – the new administration.
Tory has been given the keys to the city. If he can unlock the door and present a bright future, Toronto will reach its potential as a place to live and grow, with smart plans for development catching the eyes of a global marketplace.
If he doesn’t, there’s an alternate view in the broth-ers Ford, who still hold influence in city politics and will be quick to point out any Tory misstep.
Forgive us for breaking into a baseball analogy: Two years ago, the Toronto Blue Jays brought some fresh all-star faces to their lineup, building anticipation of great things to come.
It took only a limited number of games to realize that team was not going to be a winner, despite all the promise.
Toronto can’t afford to fail. We will see what happens next. But we need to see it
quickly.
A small window of opportunity
OuR VIEW
Tory must build quick consensus
We change the clocks back an hour Sunday
morning and I can’t wait. I usually sleep through the annual routine, but I’m going to make a point of being wide awake this year.
There’s no time to do anything anymore, and to have a whole extra hour fall right in your lap is just too good an opportunity to pass up.
I’ve got a good game plan set up and to ensure I stick to it, my trusty stopwatch will be draped around my neck. For those of you who haven’t decided what to do with your bonus hour, hope-fully my agenda will serve as inspiration.
First up, I plan to listen to The Minute Waltz. The strategy is to make every minute count, so I can’t think of a more fitting way to get the show on the road. Right after that, to further prove I mean business, I’m going waltz to The Minute Waltz. Then
I’m going to macarena to The Minute Waltz and then I’ll wrap up my musical ensemble by moonwalk-ing to The Minute Waltz – straight to the kitchen, to rustle up a three-minute egg.
I’m not going to eat it, mind you. I’ve got more pressing things to do first.
That means taking out my hockey stick and shoot-ing a puck into the stands, which will get me two min-utes for delay of game.
You won’t hear me argu-ing with the referee, either. It was intentional. Those two minutes are exactly as long as it will take for my neighbour’s border collie, Sparky, to come over after I whistle. I’m going to enlist him to chase Frisbees on the lawn for exactly seven minutes. That’s an impres-sive 49 minutes in human minutes for him.
Sparky’s acrobatic skills
are something to behold. Each time you let a Frisbee fly he leaps high into the air and ever so elegantly snags the disc in his jaws with the grace of Mikhail Baryshnikov in his prime.
I’m not exaggerating. I saw Baryshnikov catch Frisbees in his teeth during an unforgettable perfor-mance of Swan Lake at the Bolshoi and his moves had nothing on this agile pooch.
But I digress. Watching Sparky always leaves me exhausted. So I’ll break for recess right after he works his magic. I’ll need all 15 minutes to catch my breath.
Now that I think about it, going through all the above is sure to wipe me out and I’ll only have used up 31 minutes to that point. Add on the fact that said extra hour starts at 2 a.m. and this could be a lot tougher than I anticipated.
The most sensible thing for me to do at that point is to scrap my original plan and get a friend to help
me complete my task. The only one I know with the energy to last the final 29 minutes is Sparky. It’s a lot to ask, a staggering 203 minutes in human min-utes, but if anybody can carry the baton, it’s him.
So, I’ll just kick back and watch while the nimble pup listens to The Minute Waltz, then waltzes to The Minute Waltz, then does the macarena to The Minute Waltz and then moonwalks to The Minute Waltz – straight to the kitchen, to rustle up another three-minute egg to take it to 38 minutes.
Then I’ll get him to do it all again one last time to get to 45 minutes.
After which I’ll end with one last recess to make it an even hour.
Then I’ll let him devour those eggs all by his lone-some.

It has been a long wait, a really long wait, for everyone involved.
For John Tory, Monday night’s victory in the hard-fought 2014 mayoral election must be like a glass of water after a walk in the desert: finally, a win for a politician who has gamely put his name forward for office so many times, and so many times missed out.
And for Toronto, it is a different kind of relief. The pillow, finally removed from our collective face, while improbably there is still breath left in our lungs.
The Ford years are done, at least for now. The city gov-ernment can turn away from what was understatedly called the “distraction” of the Ford brothers.
And the Tory years, what-ever they may become, have begun. They will contain chal-lenges, but those challenges are not so great as that.
Tory has made much of a need to unite Toronto Council. It is unlikely he will have much difficulty in doing so. Over the past year council had a crash
course in uniting itself and maintaining a relatively calm demeanour as it goes about the business of government.
His bigger challenge, as he alluded to in his speech Monday night, will be in unit-ing Toronto – or more to the point, keeping united those voters who gave him a chance to govern.
It is a definitive mandate, but not an unequivocal one as many voters who might have supported Olivia Chow’s unabashedly progressive mayoralty moved to Tory’s side for fear of a Doug Ford mayoralty.
So it is not likely the whole of Tory’s support feels, for instance, that SmartTrack and the Scarborough subway are the best way to do transit.
As those two things formed the centrepiece of Tory’s campaign it is unlikely he will abandon them, and he shouldn’t: a promise is a promise.
But he would do well to embrace elements of Chow’s platform as regards to hous-ing, and perhaps childcare.
He hinted in his speech that Chow might yet have a role in the work of the city.
Tory will also have to con-sider the many people who did not support him, but voted for the Ford brand in spite of everything. That is a size-able portion of the city that rejected both him and any sense of progressive value.
Politically at least, Tory will have need to reach out in that direction.
One way he might do so is heed what seems to be a grow-ing coalition of Scarborough councillors, and move to kill the remaining LRT lines on Sheppard and Finch.
He’ll certainly feel the pres-sure to do so, even though he is on record supporting the lines.
And that will be the hard thing for Tory: reigning in this new, strong council when it gets an idea in its head.
Tory has his work cut out for him

wLRT pRojecT up foR TRansiT awaRd
Metrolinx’s Eglinton Crosstown LRT project is in the running for a presti-gious transit infrastructure award to be handed out this week.
The Crosstown is one of five North American project plans nominated for Strategic Project of the Year to be announced during this year’s CG/LA Infrastructure Forum in Washington, D.C.
A press release for the event states the award is given to the project with the highest potential to create a “quantum leap” when it comes to improv-ing a region or county’s productivity.
The forum, which will be attended by such luminar-ies as U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden, takes place Oct. 28 to 30. Visit www.cg-la.com
wTTc expLaineR video on pRioRiTy seaTing
The TTC has released another online explainer video, this time on the proper use of priority seat-ing.
Earlier this year, the TTC began installing blue seats on its transit vehicles as a way to further high-light their intended use by mobility-challenged, seniors and pregnant riders.
But as TTC CEO Andy Byford says in the video, while TTC vehicle opera-tors can ask an able-bodied rider to vacate a prior-ity seat they can’t force anyone from doing so.
Riders could still be fined by transit enforcement officers.
To view the video, visit the TTC’s YouTube channel via www.youtube.com

A TTC bus driver is facing reckless driving charges over the death of a pedes-trian on Lawrence Avenue West.
A 65-year-old woman was struck and killed by a TTC bus Saturday, Oct. 11 while trying to cross at the
intersection of Lawrence and Allen Road.
Now Toronto police have laid three charges, includ-ing careless driving, against the 34-year-old driver. The man, who has not been named, is scheduled to appear in court Thursday, Nov. 20.
wsubway cLosuRes coming
Two major subway clo-sures are scheduled for the beginning of November, starting this weekend.
From Nov. 1 to 2, the Yonge line is closed in both directions from Bloor to Eglinton stations for signal and track work.
Anyone seeking to travel between the stations will have to make use of a TTC shuttle bus service.
The closure is also in effect next weekend, from Nov. 8 to 9. Service will resume as of Monday morning for both weekend closures.

In 40 years the centre has grown from a group of friends playing euchre to a true community hub
it was in the cards for north York seniors centre
LISA QUEEN [email protected]
The first time Eleanor Mayne walked into the North York
Seniors Centre a decade ago, she was tagging along with a friend.
While the friend moved on to activities elsewhere, Mayne found a home away from home and has been a member ever since.
“I belong to one of the art classes Monday morn-ings. On Tuesdays, I signed up for total body fitness. Wednesday we do healthy bones and Thursday is belly dancing,” she laughed.
“(There’s) a real variety, the classes you can take. There’s whatever you want to do...I’m always checking to see what’s going on and I take part in a lot.”
Mayne likes the fact there is always something going on at the centre but the atmosphere is laid-back at the same time. Staff is also eager to implement programming suggestions from members, she said.
“It’s busy and I like it because you get to meet a lot of people. You make friends. We have a lot of fun,” she said.
“Nothing is taken seri-ously. You don’t have to be an expert at it. As long as you’re in there and having a good time. That’s the main purpose, to stay healthy and to be busy.”
Mayne, who is think-ing of signing up for some classes on Fridays every other week, also volunteers as a food server at the centre.
“I’m like a waitress. I set up for events and serve and clean up and sometimes I get carried away and dance for the crowd,” she laughed.
After four decades of welcoming and serving seniors in the community,
members, staff, alumni and dignitaries will celebrate the centre’s 40th anni-versary at the Better With Age gala at the Grand Luxe Event Boutique on Nov. 20.
Forty years ago, a group of friends who got together to play cards approached then-North York mayor Mel Lastman about getting a seniors’ centre off the ground,
Not only did he assist them in getting a store-front, but he helped them in various ways as the centre grew and changed locations. He even donated a hand-made slate pool table.
“I enjoyed helping them because they were beauti-ful people, lovely people. They just wanted to help people,” Lastman, 81, told The Mirror.
“They did it. The crazy thing is they did it. They made it what they wanted. They started at the bottom and worked their way up.”
The centre’s first budget was $3,000, a fraction of today’s $3-million budget, said Linda Rataj, director of organizational develop-ment.
Almost 80 per cent of today’s budget comes from subsidies and grants, most notably from the Central Local Health Integration Network, while user fees account for about 20 per cent.
The centre started out in 1974 at Cummer Plaza before relocating to Empress Walk. It moved to its present location at 21 Hendon Ave., northwest of
Finch Avenue and Yonge Street, in 1987.
While recreational activi-ties remain an integral part of the centre, its mandate has expanded considerably to include a wide variety of programs from a legal clinic to health and well-ness programs to assisted living services, Rataj said.
“It’s no longer just a club to play cards and knit and have activities, but now there’s the active living centre (which houses rec-reational, arts and cultural programs and a fitness centre).
“We also do community support services, so the senior care division goes out into people’s homes and provides personal support services and transportation throughout the North York area and also we have an adult day program. It’s called A Day Away. That’s for seniors who have mild cognitive
impairments or physical frailties, who need a little more structure in their day program and it provides respite for their loved ones, so it’s a really important program,” she said.
“So, we’ve gone from cards, euchre on Friday nights and parties to really making an impact in the community and helping out in people’s homes and helping people to live in the community and stay safe and not have to go to insti-tutions. But a major part of the organization (remains) the active living centre...over 1,000 members. They live in the community, they live independently, they’re active. They come in, they do fitness (and other activi-ties).”
About 80 per cent of members are female, per-haps because women are more inclined to be “join-ers” than men and because women often outlive their husbands and are seeking the kind of friendships they find at the centre, Rataj said.
The centre is open seven days and three evenings a week and offers more than 75 programs. Members are at least 55 years old and while most are North York residents, many come from surrounding communities.
Meanwhile, about 300 people volunteer at the centre each year, many of them semi-retired who go on to become members of the centre themselves.
“We wouldn’t be able to do it without them,” Rataj said, adding the centre has become an important fix-ture in North York.
“In a nutshell, I think the North York Seniors Centre plays a vital role in the community to help older adults and seniors live happy, healthy and safe...lives and stay vital parts of the community,” she said.

it’s busy and i like it because you get to
meet a lot of people. You make friends. We

Now that the votes are counted and Toronto has a new mayor, and that’ll
be it for the Rob Ford era at City Hall. Right?
Well, not quite. For more than a month following the municipal vote Monday, Ford will continue to be mayor of Toronto and the 44 councillors who voted to remove many of his powers in 2013 will continue to hold offi ce and, if they choose, come to work in their offi ces at city hall.
In fact, the mayor or a majority of those councillors could even call a council meeting in the event of an emergency, or a whim.
“In essence, the current mem-bers of council continue to be members until Nov. 30,” said Winnie Li, Toronto’s director of council support services. “Their term doesn’t end until that date. So incoming members, they come in Dec. 1.”
The transitional period gives a mayor and council members who are surrendering their offi ces time to clean up their fi les and deter-mine which, if any, can be passed on to their successors.
Newly elected councillors, meanwhile, will have a busy month. To begin with, they will have to go to city council school.
Li said city clerk staff have pre-pared three sessions.
“There will be one about the operations: about their staff and budgets and what they have to spend,” she said.
“Then there is one about the code of conduct and confl ict of interest rules, and then there’s one about the procedures – deci-sion making, how it works and how the budgets work.”
As this transpires, the new councillors will be making deci-sions about hiring staff, deciding which of the available offi ces at City Hall they will occupy,
and also likely meeting with the mayor-elect John Tory to dis-cuss their roles in the upcoming administration.
The mayor, meanwhile, will have a more complicated job.
Li said the city will likely estab-lish an interim offi ce for Tory somewhere in Toronto City Hall.
There, the mayor – usually with aid of a transition team of advisors – will decide on not only
his offi ce staff, but also come up with a roster for the new, mayor-appointed executive committee, which will also decide the chairs of the various standing commit-tees.
New mayor and council will not offi cially start term of offi ce until Dec. 1Transition to new council will take a month
While this is going on, Tory and city staff will begin planning for the inaugural council meeting on Dec. 2.
The meeting begins with a ceremony, the council chamber usually packed with family and guests of the new council and the mayor, and an address by a spe-cial guest.
With the exception of 2010, when newly elected Rob Ford invited sports commentator Don Cherry, that special guest has been the Honourable Roy McMurtry.
On the second day of council, the new councillors will appoint a striking committee to consider the makeup of council’s standing committees, and then the four community councils will meet to select chairs.
The striking committee will meet immediately following that brief meeting, and bring back recommendations to full council that afternoon.
And then, the wait will be over, and the 2014-2018 term of Toronto Council will get down to business, with meetings of com-munity councils, executive com-mittee and full council all taking place in December.
Anyone expecting bone and joint surgery, such as a hip or knee replacement, in the Toronto area is encouraged to contact The Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation for peer telephone support.
This free Ortho Connect program helps to ease the fear and anxiety that may go along with bone surgery and help patients prepare.
Call 1-800-461-3639, ext 222 and ask for Lauralee.

The Gentlemen’s Expo will open its doors to gentlemen and gentle-women of the city at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre Nov. 14 to 16.
Entering its second year, the expo has broadened its vision of manliness
to a more refi ned status.Co-founder Settimio Coscarella
thinks the time is right for a show that appeals to today’s modern man.
“In the last 10 years men’s tastes have defi nitely changed,” Coscarella said. “We wanted to create a show that provides content that guys could be proud of, putting together the best ensemble of brands and experiences
we can so the guys of Toronto could have a show to call their own.”
The expo, of which insidetoronto.com is the presenting sponsor, will be spread over 100,000 square feet at the convention centre and cater to a range of men’s interests from tasting some of the best craft beer in the city to browsing the latest in fashion.
With a solid background in home
design, custom furniture design and fabrication, Damon Snider has identi-fi ed a niche market for his services.
He falls into the modern category himself, and his company Dude Living Refi ned is a business that specializes in interior design for men. At the expo, Snider will demonstrate how to build a mobile bar cart from scratch by “up-cyling” older material.
The Gentlemen’s Expo will pack a celebrity punch with three-time UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre, former Toronto Maple Leaf Gary Roberts and ex-Dragon’s Den personality Bruce Coxon making appearances.

Two animal activists have joined the search for the suspect or suspects wanted in connection with a severe case of animal cruelty in North York ear-lier this month.
Sherry Nath, adminis-trator of Queen Waldorf Fights Back!, which oper-ates the only Canadian animal abuse data base, is offering a $500 reward in the case of a dog so badly abused it had to be eutha-nized.
The reward will go for information given to Crime Stoppers leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible.
The young, male black Labrador mix was found Oct. 17 on a residential property near Jane Street and Finch Avenue with
an elastic band around its muzzle.
Veterinary tests revealed it had multiple broken ribs and burns, possibly chemical in nature, to its head, ears, feet and approximately 30 per cent of its body.
Deidre Wilson, who runs Adopt Me Canada Cat Rescue, and a small team of volunteers have handed out about 350 flyers in the Jane and Finch community and downtown in Dundas Square to draw attention to the case.
“The hunt is on for a person in Toronto who
abused a Labrador puppy so severely it had to be euthanized due to the abuse,” the flyer said.
“Please speak up for those who have no voice. There is no excuse for animal abuse. If you don’t speak it will continue.”
Wilson said she was “mortified” and “dis-gusted” by the torture of the dog.
Mary Lou Leiher, the city’s animal services pro-gram manager, is thrilled to see people coming for-ward to find the suspect or suspects.
“I think that’s great, that kind of community involvement. It’s terrific,” she said.

This year, they’ll have to earn their berth the old fashioned way, however, if they hope to attend this year’s national championships, hosted by the University of Prince Edward Island in Charlottetown, Nov. 6 to 9.
York has a provincial semi-final match-up Saturday at 3 p.m. against cross-city rival, the University of Toronto Varsity Blues at the new Ron Joyce Stadium in Hamilton.
w Police release security camera images
Police have released security
camera images of a man they say assaulted two people inside a Yonge Street and Finch Avenue restaurant Oct. 19.
Police said three men ordered food around 9:30 p.m. when one became upset and punched the two other men, aged 21 and 28, in the face. The suspect then fled the scene.
The suspect is described as black, 30 to 35 years old, 5’3,
165 pounds, with short dark hair. He was wearing a white coat, grey pants, white shoes and carried two white bags.
Police consider him vio-lent and dangerous and urge the public not to approach, and to call 911.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-3200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.

The hip, entrepreneurial Allen Road and Sheppard Avenue business, which has foosball and ping pong tables in the office, started up in 2010 and offers naturally sweet, vegan, non-GMO, diabetic friendly chewing gum that’s free of gluten, nuts, soy and dairy. It’s found at health food and grocery stores.
The idea of creating an aspartame-free gum started when Klein would hear sto-ries from friends and family about aversions toward vari-ous chemicals in their chew-ing gum, including artificial sweetener aspartame.
“I saw there was a need for the product,” Klein said. “The health food industry is growing rapidly. We wanted to create something safe, tasty, cost-effective, gluten- and
aspartame-free.”In an industry where
very few pats on the back are received, the Business Excellence Awards is a “great thing” for his organization, Klein said.
“We’re driven by passion, we’re driven by results, and this is a nice carrot along the way to keep motivated,” he said.
Speaking of staying moti-vated, Klein recently got a big boost when he appeared on the second episode of Season 9 of Dragon’s Den Wednesday, Oct. 22, asking for $1 million for 10 per cent of his com-pany.
After four offers were put on the table, he ultimately went with Jim Treliving and Arlene Dickinson, but has since moved forward solely with Dickinson, he said,
adding the investment was the largest deal ever made on the show.
“We were looking for people who have more experi-ence,” he said of going on the show. “We hope to create new opportunities to connect with customers.”
Ed Scheck, founding partner of Hogg, Shain and Scheck, said the nomination was big for the staff.
“They are really excited,” he said.
The Victoria Park and Sheppard avenues certified public accounting firm offers several scholarships for Ted Rogers School of Management students at Ryerson University, including one for financial assistance.
“It’s a good way to give back to the university and com-munity,” Scheck said.
The firm primarily works with owner entrepreneurs and non-profit organizations through accounting, audits, and consulting, he said.
“What makes us unique is the practical approach to
the advice we give,” he said. “That’s key to what we do.”
Scheck, a former chair of the Toronto Board of Trade (now Toronto Region Board of Trade), said it’s important to give back to the commu-
nity.“At the end of the day,
you have to give back if you want to make Toronto a great place,” he said. “It helps build morale. We will continue to do community work, and if we win (the award), it’s like icing on the cake.”
Finalists for the Business Excellence Awards were selected from more than 100 applications by a volunteer panel of judges.
The awards recognize the valuable contribution of the region’s small and medium businesses and honour emerging entrepreneurs who have demonstrated outstand-ing growth, leadership and innovation in business in eight categories.

• Local races of interest •
w Colle re-eleCted with 75 per Cent support
Josh Colle will be serving his second term at city council after being re-elected Monday night in Ward 15, Eglinton-Lawrence.
Colle received more than 75 per cent of votes with 14,733 out of the 19,592 bal-lots cast.
He faced four challengers this election.
w p e r r u z z a r e t u r n e d for third term
Anthony Perruzza was com-fortably elected to a third term on council Monday.
Perruzza, who is vowing to clean up rental housing units and work to improve Toronto Community Housing, said John Tory’s mayoral win “begins a new era at City Hall.”
w mammoliti returned to City hall
O u t s p o k e n Yo r k We s t Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti was re-elected to office Monday.
The veteran Ward 7 politi-cian took 46 per cent of the total votes with 6,816 cast in his favour. Nick Di Nizio finished second with 5,274 votes.
w augimeri viCtorious again in york Centre
This time, it wasn’t as close.
In 2010, Maria Augimeri defeated challenger Gus Cusimano, a Rob Ford-backed businessman, by a mere 89 votes.
This time the Ward 9 York Centre councillor claimed a wider victory with 6,373 votes, followed by Cusimano with 4,230 and Anthony Fernando with 3,367.
w vowing sheppard west subway support
Fresh off a successful re-elec-tion bid, York Centre coun-cillor James Pasternak, who is a member of the Budget Committee and vice-chair of the Civic Appointments Committee, said he will continue to invest in local parks and the storm water system, and vowed to “never give up” cementing a subway line along Sheppard Avenue connecting Downsview sta-tion with the Sheppard-Yonge station.
Pasternak cruised to his second term in office Monday, defeating his closest rival by more than 8,000 votes.
w Carroll: budgeting, loCal ConCerns
All smiles as she coasted to another election night vic-tory, veteran Ward 33 Don Valley East Councillor Shelley Carroll said she will focus on both local and city-wide issues as she looks forward
to the incoming four-year term.
“In my ward, we have a number of things coming up, locally. We’ve got the opening of a community centre (in the Parkway Forest community) and a lot of meetings of ‘How do we program it, what do you want,’” she told The Mirror at her victory party.
w transit, taxes foCus for new CounCil
While transit will be the top priority of Toronto’s incom-ing council, city hall must focus on keeping a lid on taxes, Ward 34 Don Valley East incumbent Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong said at his victory party on election night.
“City-wide, the No. 1 issue is transit, closely linked with congestion and gridlock. So, we’re making progress on the congestion and gridlock. We need to make some deci-sions on transit,” he told The Mirror.
w robinson garners 83 per Cent of votes
Ward 25 Don Valley West Councillor Jaye Robinson will be back for a second term in office after getting a whop-ping 83 per cent of the vote in Monday’s election.

LISA QUEEN [email protected]
Following an often nasty campaign, winning incum-bent Ward 23 Willowdale Councillor John Filion said he will take some time to con-template his priorities for the upcoming term of council.
“I need to think about that,” he told The Mirror at his victory party at St. Louis Bar and Grill on Yonge Street south of Finch Avenue.
“I always hit the refresh button every four years. You know, there are the obvious ones, traffic and transit, but I’ve learned some things during this campaign so I need to reflect on that a bit. Basically, I will be doing the same things I’ve always done.
I may just be doing them in a different way.”
Filion declined to say what he learned, saying he needed some time after the gruel-ling campaign to process his thoughts.
He said he is happy the “negative, U.S.-style” cam-paign is over and said it was “heartwarming” that the voters of Ward 23 returned
him to office.The veteran councillor cap-
tured 14,128 votes, beating his main rival, David Mousavi, who received 7,951 votes.
Mousavi offered con-gratulations to the veteran incumbent.
“I want to say congratu-lations to team Filion on a victory...I send congratula-tions to all of them and con-gratulations to the ward for taking part in some issues that are of importance,” he said at his campaign office on Sheppard Avenue west of Yonge Street.
Mousavi said he would not have done anything different in his campaign, which he said simply brought attention to comments Filion made and his voting record.
Shiner to push budgeting for subwaysLISA QUEEN [email protected]
After easily hanging on to his seat following an at-times acrimonious campaign, Ward 24 Willowdale Councillor David Shiner said he will encourage the incoming council to begin budgeting to build one kilometre of subway annually.
That means setting aside
$250 million a year and then convincing the provincial and federal governments to match the funds, he said.
Shiner said he is looking forward to working on the new council under mayor-elect John Tory, but said there are some tough issues to face.
“Our No. 1 struggle is to get a transportation plan in place for the city. We don’t
have one. We need one,” he told The Mirror at his victory party at his campaign office just off Sheppard Avenue east of Bayview Avenue.
“I’ve said for years to budget for at least one kilo-metre of subway to be built a year so there is our money on the table. We can (then) challenge our friends in Ottawa and Queen’s Park to match.”

n the city’s 180-year history, Torontonians have encountered a myriad of unexplained phe-
nomena. From the urban tales of Fort York to the Ghost of Glendon College, Toronto has amassed its fair share of paranormal activity.
And with Halloween on Friday, The Mirror has decided to share seven eerie sites and ghostly accounts with its readers:
1) Queen’s Park Legislative Assembly of Ontario Known for its Richardsonian Romanesque style and light red-dish facade, Ontario’s Legislative building, situated in central Toronto, a known site of unexplained phe-nomena.
Before the building was con-structed in 1886, a female asylum nicknamed the ‘University Lunatic Asylum’ due to its proximity to the University of Toronto, stood in its place.
Several apparitions have been spotted over the years: the ‘White Lady’ described to have long hair and a flowing robe wails on the third fl oor, the ‘Maiden’ apparently holds her apron over her face; and a woman hanging from a hook has been sighted in the tunnels running beneath the building.
2) Fort York Fort York, one of the first British settlements in Toronto, was a deadly site during the War of 1812. Many invading Americans were killed by a massive explosion ignited by the fl eeing British. It is said a mass grave was built for the dead, but no traces of it have been found.
With such a long history, it’s no surprise that Fork York is one of the most haunted sites in the city, according to the sheer number of reports from visitors and staff.
Numerous accounts have been reported about seeing a red-coated guard by the barracks and front entrance. Another popular story recounted by a staff member involves the Officer’s Quarters. One night while closing up, the staff member observed a light coming from the quarters. As he made his way toward the building, he said he could see fi gures gathered around a dining table. The closer he got to the building the fainter the apparitions became, and once there, any trace
of what he thought was a dinner gathering was gone.
3) Colborne Lodge Built in 1837, Colborne Lodge, situ-ated in High Park, was home to John and Jemima Howard.
Jemima died of cancer in 1877. In the early stages of her illness, Howard became extremely con-cerned about his wife’s behaviour and wanted to have her admitted to an asylum, but his request was denied. Eventually he confined her to her room, concerned for her safety. It is said she spent most of her days looking out the window and still does to this day.
4) Old Finch Road Scarborough Old Finch Road in Scarborough is said to be a site of several haunted tales but the most notorious of them all is about a young lady who was murdered near the site and her body left in the Rouge River in the early 1980s.
Ever since then the area is said to be haunted. The case remains unsolved.
5) Montgomery’s Inn Situated in Etobicoke, Montgomery’s Inn was built in 1830 by husband and wife Thomas and Margaret Montgomery. They ran the inn suc-cessfully for 25 years until Margaret’s
death in the mid-1850s. Since then, it has been converted to a community museum where there have been a number of unexplained occurrences reported.
One tale circulating refers to a school trip involving a young girl. During the tour her teacher realized the girl was missing and went to fi nd her. Apparently the girl said she couldn’t move, saying it was like someone was holding her dress. Eventually she managed to rejoin her classmates.
Even stranger, years after the school trip, another member of the same family who visited Montgomery’s Inn is said to have
suddenly fainted in the same spot.
6) Ghost of Glendon College Most York University students are familiar with the legend of the Ghost of Glendon College.
Prior to its university status, Glendon was a residence for the Edward R. Wood family. The Wood family estate was entrusted to York University, and since then, many students living on the campus have reported apparitions of a lady wear-ing white wandering the garden.
It is also said this same mys-terious woman has appeared in photographs taken in the garden. Students speculate that maybe a woman from the Wood family has taken refuge on the grounds, most likely Wood’s wife Euphemia, who died in 1950.
7) The Old D on Jail The controversial old Don Jail, in the Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street area, was completed in 1864 and is a site infamously known for its 34 hangings. The Don Jail served as the holding point for both male and female prisoners and was the last site where executions took place in Canada after capital punishment was abolished.
Over the years there have been tales of spirits occupying the prem-ises. One tale circulating is about ‘The Lady of the Don,’ a former inmate from the 1890s who hung herself with bed sheets. Several guards have reported seeing an angry, ghostly figure with blond hair wandering the main rotunda area.
If you’re looking for a scare this Halloween, there are plenty of places in the city to fi nd one
(John Howard) decided to confi ne (Jemima) to her room, concerned for her safety. It is said she spent most of her days looking out the window and still does to this day.
