Hundreds of people have signed a petition demand-ing the inclusion of a station at Oakwood Avenue when the Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown light rail transit line opens in 2020.

Around 400 people have already added their names to the petition for an Oakwood LRT station since January, when it was fi rst circulated by local city councillor Josh Colle’s offi ce via social media

and door-to-door canvassing of residences and businesses around Oakwood Avenue.

“People remain enthusias-tic about getting a station for Oakwood,” said Colle, who represents Eglinton-Lawrence. “There’s a lot of potential in the area.”

According to transit plan-ning agency Metrolinx, design work has already begun for six stations on the line: Keele-Eglinton, Caledonia, Dufferin-Eglinton, Allen Road-Eglinton West, Bathurst and Chaplin.

Recent gun violence in the city has prompted staff at Social Planning Toronto to plan a local strategy meet-ing with residents for next Thursday.

“What I’m hoping is that we will come up with some concrete thoughts, ideas, that we can all work on,” said Yasmin Haq-Khan, com-munity planner with Social Planning Toronto.

Haq-Khan decided to orga-nize the meeting, to be held at the Eglinton Hill Centre, after youth from the local Community Action Resource Centre’s gardening program arrived one morning last week to fi nd a crime scene near their plot in Eglinton Flats Park.

On the evening of Tuesday, July 17 a 42-year-old man was found by police with a fatal gunshot wound in the parking lot of Emmett Flats

One councillor whose ward encom-passes Eglinton Avenue West said he isn’t ready to endorse a plan to close off part of the Allen Expressway in order to chop construction time of the Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown light rail transit line by a full year.

Josh Colle, a councillor for Eglinton-Lawrence, said he remains undecided on a joint proposal from the TTC and Metrolinx to close off northbound access to the Allen from Eglinton Avenue West for all of 2014.

He’s worried no other alternatives to closure have been seriously dis-cussed. “I’ve read their report, and I’m not convinced it’s the only option,” said Colle on Friday.

The TTC and Metrolinx have said closing the Allen is necessary construction staging for tunneling eastward underneath Eglinton for

the underground portion of the LRT, which would open in 2020 if the plan is approved by city council in the fall.

But Colle says he’s spoken with local residents and business owners who are worried the plan could result in a traffic nightmare for Lawrence Avenue West, which lies to the north, which would remain open.

“I think we need to look at all the options. Perhaps we need close it fur-ther north, at Yorkdale,” said Colle.

He also suggested making use of the commuter parking lots by Eglinton West subway station as potential staging sites for construc-tion.

Metrolinx spokesperson Mark Ostler said he couldn’t comment on the ideas proposed by Colle but said the agency plans to consult with the public over traffic planning related to the potential closure of the Allen sometime in the fall.

A Toronto Fringe Festival play directed by York resident Jajube Mandiela has been extended.

TICK, written by playwright Matthew MacKenzie and star-ring Jessica Moss, ran July 5 to 14 at George Ignatieff Theatre, 15 Devonshire Place. The show, which was named by a jury as

Best of Fringe Kids, has now been extended.

TICK tells the tale of 10-year-old Tickailia ‘Tick’ Summers, who thinks cost-savings measures undertaken by the city is a war against children.

The last straw for Tick comes when her local library is set to

close, which leads her and several friends to start a revolution.

TICK will run Aug. 7 to 12 at Wychwood Theatre, 601 Christie St.

Tickets cost $12.30.For information, visit www.the-

Toronto Police Service’s 13 Division should remain exactly where it is in its current state, St. Paul’s Councillor Joe Mihevc said ahead of a town hall meeting Tuesday looking at options for the station.

“We had this discussion and com-munity debate a dozen years ago,” said Mihevc, who feels “strongly” the station should remain as is.

“There is clearly a strong affection for 13 Division as it is and where it is. It functions extremely well and is well integrated into the community.”

Mihevc said while there aren’t any plans to move the station from its Eglinton Avenue West location near Allen Road, police are looking at options before preparing a report for the chief in the fall.

Next week’s town hall meeting will focus on several options, the councillor said, including building a

new station in a new location while maintaining existing boundaries, or closing the station, realigning divi-sional boundaries of surrounding divisions to incorporate all areas of the closed division while reassigning officers to surrounding divisions.

Thirteen division is bounded by Lawrence Avenue, Bathurst Street/Spadina Road, Canadian Pacific Railway line and Canadian National Railway line. It borders 12, 53, 14 and 32 divisions.

Combining stations to become “super stations” would not benefit residents, Mihevc said, adding he doesn’t believe they are as community sensitive.

Keeping 13 Division where it is will not impact the future Allen Road/Eglinton West station of the Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown, although the parking lot might be used as a potential future entrance, but it’s not currently part of the plan.

The meeting will take place at Beth Sholom Synagogue, 1445 Eglinton Ave., from 7 to 9 p.m.

A call seeking comment from police was not returned by The Guardian’s deadline.

Like many issues in Toronto, cycling and where it takes place has become one pitting the political left and right against each other. They are battling

it out on the floor of council, and sadly also on the streets of our city.

As North York Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong told Toronto Community News in our special feature on cycling in the city on pages 6 and 7 of today’s newspa-per, the main bone of contention is lack of space on Toronto’s streets.

“Because there’s a limited amount of geography, pedestrians, cyclists and motor-ists are all competing for the same space,” he explained.

And nobody seems willing to give up any ground.

There are two kinds of cyclists in Toronto, those who ride to commute and those who ride for recreation. What we don’t want to see is the political battles ending up costing either groups of riders.

We need good and safe cycling routes along our streets for those who depend on their bikes to move around. We also need recreational runs that all can enjoy at a relaxed pace. And we don’t need one at the expense of the other.

As part of our feature today, we decided to take a look at nine bike rides that recreational riders across Toronto could enjoy. All these rides are on bike paths, separate from city roads and free of cars for almost their entire routes.

These are runs that both experienced riders and those who are new to cycling can enjoy by themselves or with their families, confident that they won’t have to negotiate through busy traffic or dangerous intersec-tions.

Hopefully readers will try one of these rides for themselves.

There are some great choices and they highlight much of Toronto’s natural, and far too often hidden, beauty.

Valleys make up so much of our city’s landscape, and planners have not been shy about running cycling (and pedestrian) paths along them. There are some beautiful runs through Taylor Creek, along the Don River and Highland Creek that have riders thinking they are miles away from Canada’s largest city. The fea-tured rides also focus on the close connection between the city and Lake Ontario. While it is not yet possible to ride along the lake from one end of Toronto to the other only on a bike path, large sections are accessible.

There are no shortages of great, safe rides in the city and we encourage our readers to try one of the runs we’ve highlighted today.

Olympic opening ceremonies are a capital idea

Balance needs of all cyclists

Your VieW

our VieW

Recreational and commuter cyclists must be considered

Are you as psyched as I am for the opening ceremonies of the

2012 Summer Olympics tomorrow night in jolly old London? What can I say? They always reel me in like a prized tuna.

The best part of the festivities for my money is when the athletes enter the stadium.

As soon as I hear each country introduced my mind goes into overdrive, just like it used to when I was in public school.

Back then, whenever I heard a country name I would blurt out the capital city faster than Jesse James on steroids. I swear I knew every capital when I was a kid. (For the record, I swear I didn’t swear as a kid.)

My favourite capital was Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. It was always my numero uno because it was fun to say. I still get a kick out of saying it.

I also knew that the capital of Paraguay was Asuncion and the capital of Uruguay was Montevideo and I never confused them.

Today? The capital swag-ger is gone. With good reason. There are 204 teams in these Summer Olympics. How can I be expected to know 204 capitals when I didn’t know there were that many countries?

There aren’t, as it turns out. There are actually only 196 independent countries. Three of them are newer and don’t have Olympic national bodies yet, so only 193 will be represented in London.

The balance of the teams

is made of 11 territories. Needless to say, considering I didn’t know there would be 11 territories competing in London I couldn’t possibly know their capitals, either.

There’s another reason remembering capitals isn’t as easy as it once was is because many capitals themselves are not what they used to be.

There have been several capital city name changes over the years. I couldn’t tell you what they all are, I haven’t kept up.

Still, I’ll give it my best shot Friday.

Another area I’ll be focus-ing on is flag identification. I used to be pretty good at that, too. But, like capitals, many flags have changed.

And, as usual, I’ll be testing my knowledge on national anthems. I like to see if I can hum the appro-priate national anthem when each contingent of athletes walks in, but I seem

to know fewer and fewer anthems these days, also.

Trying to predict who the flag bearers are for each country is always a good time, as is trying to pick out countries just by looking at the teams’ outfits.

Lastly, I always try to see if I can come up with an official sponsor from each country – such as the Official Burrito of Mexico, the Official Souvlaki of Greece, the Official Pasta of Italy, and so on.

One official sponsor I never have to guess at is ours. That’s because, unlike capitals, anthems and flags, it never changes over the years – the Official Excuse: Lack of government fund-ing.n Jamie Wayne is a life-long columnist, who takes writing very seriously.

but seriously

To the editor:Since our current coun-

cillors cannot agree on a decent transit system, maybe it’s time the tax-payers have a say on GTA transit.

Actually I believe that occurred in the past elec-tion.

It is so obvious to the public that our current councillors have egos bigger than city hall itself.

I recently attended our annual family reunion in the Kingston area and was the only GTA person there in attendance. Everyone commented about how they feel sorry for us and Toronto residents as our council has made decisions that have become a joke.

Since nothing really has transpired positively since the spring transit decisions, and deferred to October, maybe it’s time to sell our properties before they vote to expropriate our land and make it a casino.

Council will tell us of this move when the bulldozers come zipping down the street.

The Clean Train Coalition (CTC) is considering taking the province to court in an effort to electrify a planned air rail link scheduled to open by the start of the Pan American Games.

A spokesperson for the group said CTC is seeking legal advice to ensure the link, which will run between Union Station and Pearson International Airport, is elec-trified in time for the start of the Games in 2015.

“A judicial review is some-thing we may pursue,” said Rick Ciccarelli. “We’re con-sidering our options.”

A legal remedy to get the Ontario government to reverse its decision to operate diesel trains on the link from the outset was one of several strat-egies discussed by the group’s

membership at a public meet-ing on July 18.

At the meeting, held at the Davenport-Perth Neighbourhood Centre, mem-bers agreed to incorporate the coalition as a non-profit, which would see CTC transform from a loose association of residents to a formal entity with a board of directors and increased fundraising capabilities.

Formed over concerns about carcinogen levels rising due to a three-fold increase in diesel train traffic along the line, the coalition plans to hold formal elections for up to 15 board seats in six months.

Ciccarelli told the mem-bership incorporation was necessary to raise the money required to pay for public-ity campaigns on par with Metrolinx, the provincially funded planning agency tasked by the McGuinty government to study potential electrifica-

tion of the air rail link. “Metrolinx can put out a

weekly newsletter to 300,000 residents living in the cor-ridor,” said Ciccarelli to the 40 people in attendance. “We must articulate and sharpen our message if we’re going to counteract theirs.”

Staffers for local NDP MP and MPPs Cheri DiNovo, Andrew Cash, Mike Sullivan and Peggy Nash were in atten-dance, as was Davenport MPP Jonah Schein, who told the coalition his private member’s bill in support of immediate electrification is scheduled for debate at Queen’s Park in September.

Schein called the electrifica-tion debate an issue of “equity” for the less wealthy residents living along the corridor forced to breathe in toxic fumes of trains carrying wealthier com-muters.

“This wouldn’t happen in

Rosedale.” said Schein, who is also the NDP’s transporta-tion critic.

Resident Dawn Buie said she wanted to attend the meeting to learn more about electrification.

“It’s been frustrating to sort out the information,” said Buie. “If really intelligent people who care about their neighbourhood cannot figure out what’s going on, I don’t how anyone can.”

She said she was especially concerned that special barri-ers to be erected by Metrolinx to drown out the din coming from the GO and freight trains travelling along the mixed-used corridor would ruin the essential beauty of the area.

“I love cycling through the rail path,” said Buie of the multi-use trail that runs along-side the rail corridor. “I can’t stand to imagine a five-metre-high wall going up there.”

A man has been charged with first-degree murder after his older brother was shot and killed in the Jane Street and Eglinton Avenue area.

Police said Clayton Wright, 42, was shot in a parking lot at Eglinton Flats near 101 Emmett Ave. at 9:40 p.m. July 17.

He died at the scene.“Mr. Wright was participat-

ing in an adult pickup soccer game at the Eglinton Flats prior to the murder,” Det. Sgt. Wayne Banks said in a July 18 YouTube video. “About 10 min-utes prior to the shooting, he left the soccer game to make his way towards the parking lot area.”

Banks said the murder was not gang-related.

“We believe that this is an isolated incident,” he added.

Banks said there were 20 to 25 people in the area when the shooting occurred. But only about a dozen people stayed to speak with police.

Wright was self-employed and had no previous contact with police.

Police are examining sur-

veillance videos from the area as part of the investigation.

A man turned himself in to police at 12 Division on Thursday, July 19.

Charged is 38-year-old Winston Wright.

Officers from the TAVIS Rapid Response Team were patrolling the area when they attempted to stop the driver of a stolen vehicle around 6:25 p.m.

The car drove through a stop sign and struck a vehicle before the two occupants of the stolen car ran off.

Community

Motorists, pedestrians, cyclists all competing for limited space

DAVID NICKLE [email protected]

When Rob Ford was elected Mayor of Toronto in 2010, one

might be forgiven for thinking that bicyclists’ time had passed.

As a councillor, Ford famously compared cycling in traffi c to “swimming with the sharks,” adding, “Roads are built for buses cars and trucks, not for people on bikes. My heart bleeds

for them when someone gets killed, but it’s their own fault at the end of the day.”

At council’s inaugural meet-ing, the mayor’s chosen keynote speaker Don Cherry arrived in a hot pink suit, which he said he wore for “all the pinkos out there that ride bicycles and every-thing.”

The new administration sig-nalled early that it would take a very different route than the pre-vious crew under David Miller, which favoured separated bike lanes on roads.

In short order, city council had removed bike lanes on Pharmacy and Birchmount avenues in Scarborough at the request of the local councillor, and another, higher-profi le bike lane on Jarvis Street despite the protests of the

local councillor there.The shift was a result of more

than the will of a mayor more comfortable on four wheels than two. Since before amalgamation, cars and bicycles have had an uneasy relationship on Toronto’s streets.

Don Valley East Councillor Denzil Minnan-Wong, who chairs the city’s works commit-tee, said the confl ict is only natu-ral, “because there’s a limited amount of geography — pedes-trians, cyclists and motorists are all competing for the same space.”

As works chair, Minnan-Wong has carriage of the Ford admin-istration’s cycling plan, which in broad strokes is about separating motorists from cyclists wherever possible.

Ford ran on creating a Bikeway Network, which includes 100 kilometres of off-road recre-ational bike paths. Some of those paths running along Hydro corridors were approved by the previous administration.

Minnan-Wong has pressed the issue further, and the city embarked on a plan to make some separated bike lanes in the downtown – initially on Wellesley and Sherbourne Streets, and eventually along Richmond and Adelaide streets in the core.

“Everybody has a different opinion,” said Minnan-Wong. “But I think it makes for a safer arrangement for cyclists, and I think the majority of cyclists prefer it.”

Scarborough Centre Councillor Glenn De

Baeremaeker chaired the works committee during Miller’s term, and has made a point of making a 20-kilometre commute from his home in Scarborough to city hall by bicycle.

He said the separated lanes are a good idea, but maintains that the mayor’s plan focussing on off-road cycling doesn’t help the growing number of utilitarian cyclists in the city.

“Separated bike lanes are good, and every cyclist and driver should welcome them,” he said.

“Those lanes are complicated things to do, I encourage the bike community and Denzil Minnan-Wong. But one kilometre of sepa-rated bike lane doesn’t make up for cancelling 100 kilometres of bike lanes on roads.”

9 RIDES

Across Toronto

1 ETOBICOKE: From the Humber River Pedestrian Bridge, cyclists have two options: head up the river path to the

northern reaches of Etobicoke, or west along Etobicoke’s picturesque Lake Ontario waterfront.

The latter, two-kilometre option is the more scenic, and has the added bonus of no traffic – unless, of course, you consider the steady stream of cyclists, in-line skaters, dog walkers, and family picnickers out for some fresh air and exercise.

For the hardcore cyclists, the waterfront trail boasts separate, paved lanes for bikes, while for those out for a more leisurely ride, there are plenty of stops along the path – take in some history at the Palace Pier

monument, rest on the benches at Home Garden, hand-build an inukshuk along the shoreline, admire the monarchs at the Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat or wander the paths through Humber Bay Park.

2 YORK: While plans are in the works to eventually close what is an approxi-mately one-kilometre gap between

Crawford-Jones Memorial Park (near Weston Road and Hwy. 401) and Cruickshank Park in Weston, local riders in York can still enjoy a pleasant ride.

However, the gap prevents Rexdale and west North York residents from being able

to use what is otherwise an essentially uninterrupted off-road path running from Steeles Avenue to downtown Toronto via the Humber and Martin Goodman Trails.

The route from Cruickshank Park to Lake Ontario, save for a small stretch through local, residential streets near the Humber Marshes, is relatively unimpeded and takes, on average, an hour to complete one way.

3 BLOOR WEST: For cyclists living in the downtown west end, who not only use their bikes for pleasure, but also

for every day transportation, the most pleasant ride is one free from cars.

And that is what makes the West Toronto Railpath a popular and pleasant shortcut between Parkdale and the Junction. The two-kilometre trail begins at

Cariboo Avenue, just north of the Dupont and Dundas intersection, and runs south-east to Dundas Street West at Sterling Road with various access points.

Built on abandoned railway beds, the West Toronto Railpath was completed in 2009. It is an asphalt path lined with greenery, indigenous plantings and brick buildings.

4 PARKDALE: For cyclists looking to head north from Parkdale to the Junction, or just looking for a pleas-

ant car-free ride, the West Toronto Railpath offers a two-kilometre trail between Sterling Avenue at Dundas Street West and Cariboo Avenue, north of Dupont Street.

But for many bike enthusiasts, the dream is to see this tree-lined trail, winner

of an Urban Design Award of Excellence, extended south along the GO train tracks to south of Queen Street West toward downtown Toronto.

If completed, the Railpath would give more than 250,000 Toronto residents living in the west end and travelling downtown a sustainable transportation link with the downtown core.

9 SCARBOROUGH: The ride from Greenvale Park, just north of Kingston Road across from the Guildwood GO

station, through the Highland Creek Valley and along the shores of Lake Ontario to the Port Union Village Common Park, is a run of approximately 12 kilometres which takes in a wide variety of features and parkland through southeast Scarborough.

The run starts with a steep hill and a warning for cyclists to dismount at the Greenvale Park entrance, but levels off nicely. It is a bit smelly, due to sewers run-ning underground near the Lawrence bridge, along the creek into Morningside Park. After that it rolls through the University of Toronto Scarborough campus.

Cyclists cross under Old Kingston Road and continue along beside the creek all the way to Lake Ontario.

There’s lots of opportunity to see wild-life on this ride, a pair of deer were spotted by the Morningside bridge, and it’s a fun run for kids with mostly level riding and lots of sites to see.

Seeking a smooth ride for cyclists across cityresolved, he said.

Riders can enjoy a smooth run heading south from the tip of the city along the Humber River trail to Crawford-Jones Memorial Park, where the off-road trail stops.

Cyclists must then push up to Weston Road and across six lanes of highway before the trail picks up about a kilometre south at Cruickshank Park in Weston and continues to Lake Ontario.

York South-Weston Councillor Frances Nunziata has previously said the gap exists because the proposed trail connection would have to go through private prop-erty owned by several apartment buildings that line Weston Road. The Weston Golf Course owns the property on the Etobicoke side of the river.

City offi cials have said con-necting the gap wouldn’t be a cheap or easy project. Along with securing land, money would also have to be spent to design the trail connection and possibly build a retaining wall due to the slopes of the hills in the area.

In an April bikeway trails implementation plan report to the city’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, trans-portation staff had consulted with Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation, Hydro One, Toronto Water and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and organized a public open house to hear from cycling enthusiasts about new bikeway trail connec-tions.

A feasibility assessment was undertaken by staff that included a review of technical and design

considerations, network con-nectivity, property implications, approval requirements and preliminary estimated costs.

Seventy-seven kilometres of new bikeway trails is rec-ommended to build on the existing network of 286 kilometres of bikeway trails. Twelve new trail construc-tion projects,

totalling about 30 kilometres, and four trail feasibility studies will be undertaken as short-term priorities, to be implemented in one to fi ve years.

7 EAST YORK: The bike path winding through Taylor Creek Park has long been a favourite family biking route.

After a mid-July rainstorm this year, the shady route seemed more of an Iron Man family biking route.

Running 3.5 kilometres from Victoria Park Avenue to Don Mills Road and the Don Valley Parkway, the route was slick

with mud, and several bridges have now been washed out. Just past Lumsden Avenue, a downed tree called for a cyclist ‘portage’ through the branches.

Two of the wooden bridges are washed out, and two others have the safety railing snapped off. It’s a reminder that even in well-groomed Toronto parks, nature still reigns supreme.

8 BEACH: On most weekends, taking a bike to the Beach is an exercise in frustration: just the same as is taking a

picnic, a volleyball, a pair of roller blades or an automobile is.

Everyone else has the same idea. On weekdays, it’s a different story; the run east from Leslie Street will take you a good five kilometres, past the new TTC vehicle storage facility, a skateboard park, and the millen-

nium-project Woodbine Park into the Beach proper.

It’s good manners to stay off the Boardwalk – there are still a few visitors taking a stroll – but it’s a nice, safe ride through Woodbine Beach, Kew Gardens and Beaches Park. The bike route officially ends around Balsam Avenue; but a few hundred metres further east, and you’ll end up at the stunning R.C. Harris Water Filtration Plant.

5 NORTH YORK: The five-kilometre ride between Edwards Gardens and Taylor Creek Park is an easy run—for the

most part. However, even experienced cyclists will

want to get off their bikes and walk the wooden foot-bridge that curves over the CNR tracks cutting through the valley.

Otherwise, it’s a gentle ride, uphill from Don Mills, through valley lands that snake behind the Ontario Science Centre, past Sunnybrook Park, and deep north through the lush, thick woods lining Wilket Creek.

Once you arrive, you’ll have to dismount as bicycles are prohibited in the gardens. But there are bike rings and benches.

6 CITY CENTRE: There’s a long and rewarding ride ahead for cyclists who want to brave the Lower Don River

trail, that stretches eight kilometres from Don Mills Road and the Don Valley Parkway south along the Don to Lake Shore Boulevard.

At the best of times, it’s a good idea to bring water. But the ride is rich with sights

and landmarks, and worth the trip. The Prince Edward Viaduct is at its most impres-sive seen from the saddle of a bicycle below, and urban wildlife abounds. Heading towards the new crossing at Pottery Road, a lone chipmunk tempts fate crossing the path. Further south, where the trail dips underneath Eastern Avenue, a flock of geese stand guard.

Ontario MP calls for nationalstolen cellphone registryAn Ontario MP and police in northwest Toronto are callingfor a national stolen cellphone registry to stop an epidemic ofthefts in their area and across the city.

Mike Sullivan, MP for York South-Weston, says the CTRCmust act quickly to create a registry of identification numbersfrom stolen cellphones and ask providers not to reactivatephones on that list.

At least 15 students at Chaminade College School, aCatholic’s boys high school near Black Creek Dr. andLawrence Ave. W. in Sullivan’s riding, have been mugged fortheir cellphones, some of them beaten, since the beginning ofthe school year.

Sometimes referred to as black gold, compost is simply decomposed organic

matter. Creating compost in your back-

yard reduces your environmental footprint and keeps your garden healthy. Composters don’t take up too much space and your garden will reap the rewards.

Compost bins are available at nurseries, garden centres or through the City of Toronto website, and an enclosed con-tainer will keep rodents and birds from invading.

Good aeration, level ground and some amount of sunlight are rec-ommended for your compost site. A hose nearby is preferable as the composter needs water to allow for quick decomposition. The com-post should feel moist, more like a wrung out sponge.

Easy access from the house to the composter is important to maintain the compost bin regu-larly. As a base layer, pile sticks

Make your own backyard ‘black gold’ compost

or plant stalks to about a six-inch depth. Then add your nitrogen or green layer: kitchen scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, grass clip-pings and plant trimmings. The top layer is called a carbon or brown layer: raked leaves, straw, wood products and paper.

Start with these three layers or add another three but keep the carbon layer on top to discourage flies. Try to keep an equal balance

between the carbon and nitrogen layers.

It’s simple to compost if you follow some general guidelines.

Avoid putting the fol-lowing in your composter: diseased plants, meat, fats, dairy products, bones, weeds gone to seed and fish. The best things to compost are fruit and vegetable scraps, egg shells, coffee grounds, tea bags and shredded newspapers.

To boost the nutritional content in your compost use coffee grounds for nitrogen, banana peels for potassium and egg shells for calcium.

You will know your com-post is ready when it looks dark brown and crumbly (no sign of food scraps), and

it smells “earthy”Compost is generally

ready between four months to one year. It’s usually dependent upon a balance between the carbon and nitrogen.

If your composter emits a bad odour, it may be a sign that the compost pile is too wet. Simply air out the compost pile and add some dry materials like straw or shredded newspaper.

Compost mimics the circle of life and is a wonder-ful gift for your garden. n Marilyn Pomer is a land-scape architect who writes about seasonal gardening. Her column appears every second Thursday. Contact her at [email protected]

A presentation at a public meeting hosted by Metrolinx on June 27 showed a Crosstown sta-tion map that included Oakwood station between Dufferin and Eglinton West (at Allen Road) stations.

If approved, Oakwood would join 12 planned sta-tions for the underground portion of the Crosstown line, which will run 10 kilo-metres through a tunnel running below Eglinton Avenue from Keele Street to Laird Drive where it will continue east above ground to Kennedy station in Scarborough.

Colle said he’s received vague assurances from Metrolinx, which is co-ordinating construction of the Crosstown, on the inclusion of a stop at Oakwood, but nothing concrete.

“We’re hopeful Metrolinx will live up to the impres-sion it made on the com-munity regarding a station for Oakwood,” said Colle

Friday. Metrolinx spokesper-

son Mark Ostler could not confirm whether an Oakwood stop is part of a provincial review of the final number and loca-tions for the Crosstown stations.

The evaluation, going on now, is based on sev-eral factors including cost, usage, overall ridership and development potential, said Ostler.

He said further public consultations for station designs and locations are expected for the fall.

Construction has already begun for the 19-kilometre Crosstown LRT, which will run west from Black Creek Drive to Kennedy station in the east along Eglinton, where it will connect to the Scarborough LRT, also scheduled to begin operat-ing in 2020.

The new Ford C-MAX Energi is ex-pected to achieve more than 20 miles of electric-only range and a 550-mile overall range.

With a maximum electric-only speed projected to top that of Prius plug-in, C-MAX Energi drivers might be able to reach wherever they’re going a little faster, too.

Topping it o� , C-MAX Energi delivers fuel economy that is

the equivalent of (US) 95 mpg equivalent (MPGe) combined city/highway.

C-MAX Energi is part of Ford’s � rst dedicated line of hybrid vehicles in North America and will soon be available for or-der at Ford’s certi� ed electric-vehicle dealerships.

C-MAX Energi operates just like a traditional hybrid with two key di� erences – owners

must plug in the vehicle using its charge port and C-MAX Energi has a larger battery pack.

Already available for order is C-MAX Hybrid – expected to be North America’s most a� ordable hybrid utility vehicle.

C-MAX Hybrid and C-MAX En-ergi � gure prominently in Ford’s rollout of � ve electri� ed vehicles this year.

Subaru is proud to be different. For one, all of its models come

standard with Subaru’s acclaimed symmetrical all-wheel drive sys-tem. And, being a relatively small automaker, Subaru is able to do a lot with a little, spinning several models off the same platform.

The 2013 Subaru Outback and Legacy models are both very suc-cessful vehicles with combined sales of about 10,000 units a year (about 70 per cent Outback) in Canada last year.

The mid-size Legacy sedan and the Outback crossover SUV that combines car-like handling and SUV versatility have under-gone extensive changes for 2013 – the first major facelifts for them since the last full model change in 2010.

Chief among the updates is a more powerful and more fuel-efficient power plant – a 2.5-litre DOHC boxer four-cylinder engine that replaces a SOHC 2.5-litre box-er four-cylinder.

Power jumps to 173 hp from 170 and torque rises to 174 lb/ft from 170. Combined with a new CVT transmission, the Outback now accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds and the Legacy in 9.3 seconds compared with 10.2 and 9.5 seconds respectively in the outgoing models.

Meanwhile, fuel economy has been improved eight per cent across the board, with the Outback now rated at 8.6/6.5L/100 km city/hwy and the Legacy 8.4/6.0L.100 km city/hwy with the CVT.

The Legacy is also offered with a six-speed manual transmission on the Base and Touring trims, while the top-level Limited gets a five-speed automatic, paired with either the 2.5-litre four banger or a 256 hp 3.6-litre boxer six- cylinder engine.

On the styling front, the Legacy

has a stronger, sharper look while the Outback has a more aggres-sive appearance. All this results from new headlight, grille and front bumper re-dos. Inside, both models have a higher quality feel with new seat fabric and wood trim elements available.

Drivability of both vehicles has also been improved through in-creased body stiffness and chassis improvements, resulting in re-duced body roll, better handling and ride quality. In addition, the Outback has 220 mm of ground clearance if you have a need to do any off-road driving or travel rough cottage trails.

During a brief ride-and-drive, we had an opportunity to take a 2.5i Outback as well as a 3.6R Out-back out for short jaunts.

The 3.6R was a Limited trim level with the EyeSight option and it was noticeably quieter and pep-pier than the four-cylinder model with the continuously variable transmission, which exhibited the familiar whine and high rev level that is common with CVTs.

Subaru says floor vibration tests show the ride quality of the new Outback is now on par with the Legacy sedan. The 2013 Outback also gets a Five Star crash test rat-ing from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) in the U.S.

Subaru is offering its new Eye-Sight driver assistance option only on Limited trim models of the Legacy and Outback for 2013. It will be rolled out in other models in the future.

Subaru says the system assists the driver in making decisions for more safe and comfortable driv-ing and to reduce driver fatigue.

The EyeSight feature has shown to have a high ≥take rate≤ in Ja-pan since its introduction there in 2010 as it now represents more

than 90 per cent of total sales in recent months.

The system uses twin stereo cameras mounted on either side of the rearview mirror to provide a suite of driver assist functions in-cluding: pre-collision braking; pre-collision brake assist; pre-collision throttle management; adaptive cruise control; lane departure warning; lane sway warning; and lead vehicle start alert.

The characteristics of the cam-era views are similar to the human eye in that they recognize objects, while other similar vehicle sys-tems that use radar simply detect them without differentiating be-tween vehicles and pedestrians, for example.

The 2013 Outback is on sale now, the Legacy in August.

It’s Happening in York

Park, near Jane Street and Eglinton Avenue.

Haq-Khan explained that when the youth group went to attend the program the next morning, they were greeted with crime scene tape and media activity.

“The shootings are hap-pening in public places where children are playing. I mean, doesn’t sound right at all and all the talk is police, police, police,” said Haq-Khan.

She emphasized that while recent violence in the city, including the shootings on Danzig Street in Scarborough, have prompted politicians to

talk about increased funding for police services, specifi cally the Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy (TAVIS), more focus needs to be on funding community organi-zations.

“Let’s look into prevention. Our community groups are struggling for funding,” she said. “Almost a whole genera-tion has grown up without a community centre in this area. We have so few resources.”

Councillor Frank Di Giorgio, who represents the eastern portion of York South-Weston, confirmed that plans for a community centre at 115 Black Creek Dr. (north of Eglinton

Avenue) were approved more than 10 years ago.

The city is currently waiting to hear the bids for the project, which the local councilor said will probably happen in the next two weeks.

He said he is concerned the bids may come in higher than what the city has budgeted for, which would again delay construction.

Haq-Khan is encourag-ing residents to attend the Eglinton Hill Centre at 2562 Eglinton Ave. W. from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 2 to present and discuss ideas to curb violence in the city. The venue is wheel-chair accessible.
