PROUDLY SERVING OUR COMMUNITY SINCE 1982

The life of Marilyn Ullrich will be celebrated with a memo-rial on Saturday, May 28 at Community Centre 55 (CC55), 97 Main St. at Swanwick Ave.
The gathering will run from 2 to 5 p.m. All well-wishers are welcome.
Ullrich, a 30-year east-end resident, died on Tuesday, May 3 when an SUV driven by a 65-year-old woman, who is believed to be her friend, crashed through the front window of Bold Steps Dance Studio on Spruce Hill Road, just north of Queen Street East.
Two others were injured in the spectacular crash, which happened shortly before a 10 a.m. dance class was set to begin.
At this point, there is no determination on charges being laid against the driver.
In the days since the acci-dent, many people have stopped by the local dance studio to pay their respects.
Ullrich, 68, was a well-loved and well-known community member who supported events and initiatives at Stephenson Park, near Danforth Avenue and Main Street.
She was also part of the seniors program at CC55 and volunteered at the community centre.
Ullrich, a retired medical administrator, is survived by her husband, Thomas, and sons, Douglas and Richard,
daughter-in-law Brittan, grandsons Thomas and Charlie, her mother, Thelma Patterson, sister, Barb, and brother-in-law, John Roberts, and many loved ones and friends.
Visitation for Ullrich will be held at the Trull Funeral Home, 1111 Danforth Ave., just west of Greenwood Avenue, today from 5 to 8 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, Ullrich’s family is asking donations be made to Community Centre 55’s Share-A-Christmas Teen Angel Program, which was close to her heart. Call 416-691-1113 for more informa-tion.
A private family interment for Ullrich will be held at Nipissing Union Cemetery. Ullrich’s family is originally from there and Nipissing is near the family’s cottage.

Bowmore Road Junior and Senior Public School stu-dents are doing their part to help those impacted by the devastating wildfires in Fort
McMurray, Alberta.On Friday starting at 12:45
p.m., students from the east-end school will dressed all in white as they do a support
walk around the school.Each c lassroom has
been given a Bristol board with a big bubble letter on it. These boards will be
laid out on the back pave-ment at the school to spell #BowmoreBacksFortMac!
After the walk, everyone will gather around the banner and
a school photographer will snap a picture from the roof.
Students will also be making a monetary contribution. For the past week, they’ve
been bringing in change to donate.
Parents and the public are welcome to attend. Call 416-393-9450 for information.

“(Plastic pollution) is accu-mulating in the Great Lakes like it’s accumulating in the (Pacific) Ocean,” said Keith Brooks, ED’s clean economy program director during his opening remarks.
“We’ve got to do more to keep the Great Lakes great.”
As part of the press confer-ence, Grade 6 students from the nearby Voice Integrative School prepared a short pre-sentation where they held up colourful posters and filled a large wire water bottle sculp-ture with plastic bottles they’d collected.
Toronto-Centre MPP Glen
Murray, the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, was also in atten-dance.
He said in Ontario there are three pieces of legislation in the works to help protect the Great Lakes: the Great Lakes Protection Act, the Waste Free Ontario and Circular Economy Act, and the Low Carbon Economy Bill.
“There’s a lot of legislation in Ontario to address this kind of concern,” Murray assured those in attendance, urging the young people there to continue making their voices heard.
N a t a l i j a F i s h e r ,
Environmental Defence’s water program manager, spoke about the report’s plan to help reduce plastic pollution in the Great Lakes by making polluters pay, charging a fair price for industrial water use, and protecting the Great Lakes for current and future generations.
Ontario is one of two prov-inces in Canada that does not have a deposit return program for single-use plastic bottled and as a result, more than a billion bottles are not recycled each year in Ontario.
“We can and must do better,” said Fisher. “It’s time to turn the plastic tide.”
The Toronto Tabla Ensemble, which has made its home base in the heart of Little India since the end of 2014, will be celebrating its 25th anniversary with two shows at Harbourfront Centre’s Brigantine Room.
Titled The Next 25 Years, the concerts will take place Saturday, May 14 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 15 at 3 p.m.
“Our 25th anniversary show is about the next 25 years. I
could have invited back past guests and collaborators but I really wanted to focus on the youth,” said veteran tabla master Ritesh Das, artistic director and founder of the ensemble, during a recent interview with Metroland Media Toronto.
“You’ll see a lot of young people on stage. I’m really happy to showcase the talent of the next generation.”
During the concerts, Das will be performing for the first time on a new electric drum instrument called a Jam Kat.
He said each original piece in the shows is dedicated to those who have helped the not-for-profit organization reach this special mile-stone.
Das also noted this week-
end’s performances will serve as a launching point for an exciting year to come as Canada celebrates its 150th birthday in 2017.
“We’ve got some big shows in the works,” he said.
When not performing or composing, Das said he loves teaching others to play the tabla and other South Asian percussion instruments.
Toronto Tabla Ensemble offers lessons in east-end Toronto (at the ensemble’s main location on Gerrard Street East), Mississauga and Scarborough.
Visit www.torontotabla.com for more information.
wtabla master up for toronto arts award
On another note, Das was recently nominated for a 2016
Roy Thomson Hall Award of Recognition from the Toronto Arts Foundation, a charitable organization that encour-ages artistic excellence and increases access to the arts in the City of Toronto through private sector investment.
This award is presented to an individual, ensemble or organization to recog-nize creative, performing, administrative, volunteer or philanthropic contributions to Toronto’s musical life.
Das will find out if he’s the winner on Thursday, May 26 at the 11th annual Mayor’s Arts Lunch, which brings together leaders of the arts, government and business to celebrate the benefits that the artistic community and their benefactors bring to the life of Toronto.

Last week’s vote on Uber at Toronto City Council did undeniable harm to two very vulnerable groups in our city.
Taxi drivers form one of those groups. The suite of amendments moved by Mayor John Tory and approved by a solid major-ity of Toronto councillors makes the lives of drivers who don’t own their own plates undeniably worse.
Licenced taxi driv-ers come away from the debate with less stable income, in a position that makes it virtually impos-sible to compete with a potential flood of Uber-X cars and drivers.
And then there is that other vulnerable group – one that’s not vulnerable economically or socially perhaps, but is practically an endangered species in the political ecology of Toronto City Hall: Toronto’s small but vocal group of left-wing council-lors.
Tory left them gasping
in disbelief, after he aban-doned a long negotiation with them to come up with a more progressive and taxi driver-friendly set of amendments, to make a sharp turn to the right and champion a very different, very Uber-friendly set of amendments.
Those amendments mollified some of the bigger voices on the right – notably Giorgio Mammoliti and Jim Karygiannis.
But they left the leader-ship on the left – Janet Davis, Gord Perks, Deputy Mayor Pam McConnell – seething more than usual.
The negotiations had been long, and the left went into the May council meeting thinking they had a deal.
The reversal was a clear indication that the left could count on no reli-
able negotiations with the mayor’s office, so there was no point in trying.
None of this should concern Tory much.
While it’s true he has promised to bring Toronto Council together in a way that no other mayor has, the reality is that Tory does not really need to do so in order to govern.
His natural allies, coun-cil’s centrists and right wing, will support him on most matters.
If the mayor wants to put policy in place that strays to the left, he can rely on council’s left without a thought. Is the left going to vote against bike lanes, public housing dollars, public health mat-ters?
Given that Tory’s man-date seems to be based on offering comfort to voters of nearly every political persuasion, will the left really be able to bring forward a credible, win-ning mayoral candidate in 2018?
Council’s left wing meanwhile, is in a corner. Unless a Bernie Sanders municipal figure emerges very soon, there is very little that a left-leaning councillor can do to harm Tory politically, particu-larly as Tory is far more likely to face a strong chal-lenger from the right.
And as was demon-strated last week, there is scarcely more that left-wing councillors can accomplish in working with Tory and his staff.
They can vote for policies they agree with, of course, but influence them? Put a mark on them?
Well they can certainly try – if, that is, they can put from their minds the May 2016 council meeting, when they and Toronto’s cab drivers both lost it all.
The 10-year cycling plan proposed by the city this week that could see hundreds of kilome-tres of cycling infrastructure built is certainly
ambitious and one that is worth going after in an expeditious manner.
The plan is large in scale featuring 525 kilometres of new infrastructure with bike lanes and cycle tracks proposed in neighbourhoods across the entire city.
This should generate excitement as there seems to be a city-building opportunity here with feasibility studies planned on some of Toronto’s major street corridors including Yonge Street from Front Street to Steeles Avenue, along Bloor Street from Dundas Street West to Sherbourne Street, and Danforth Avenue from Broadview Avenue to Kingston Road.
Like public transit, this plan has the potential of connecting and moving Toronto residents by pro-
viding more travel alternatives especially for those living in the edges of the city where afford-able transportation options are woefully lacking.
Building a connected network of bike lanes throughout the city could also encourage more people to ride their bicycles on
safer, designated routes. The benefits of doing so are many, such as helping
reduce traffic gridlock, promoting a healthier life-style, and decreasing the number of cycling fatalities.
The timing also seems right with growing support from cycling advocates as well as the political will to take action on these issues. Last week’s approval by Toronto Council for a pilot project to put separated bicycle lanes on Bloor Street is a good start.
Of course, an ambitious plan like this has financial implications with the city recommending five levels of funding starting from $8 million a year that would allow for design and delivery of 27 per cent of the proposed projects, and $12 million a year to see half the projects go ahead.
But this shouldn’t be done piecemeal and spend-ing $20 million a year to complete the whole project in 10 years is warranted.
With careful planning, community consulta-tion, and financial accountability, the plan should proceed forward as soon as possible. Any delays in implementation could see costs rise and leave Toronto further behind other major cities when it comes to transportation infrastructure.
It’s about time a city like Toronto catches up and becomes more connected.

Everyone is invited to attend the Spring Bird Festival this Saturday at Tommy Thompson Park.
This year’s free-of-charge event, the 16th annual, will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Hosted by the Toronto and Region Conservation, the Spring Bird Festival at Tommy Thompson Park, also known as the Leslie Street Spit, celebrates the phenomenon of bird migration, while marking International Migratory Bird Day and highlighting the importance of bird con-servation.
The day’s activities will include bird walks and talks, bird banding demos,
conservation activities, educational displays, and the Great Canadian Birdathon.
Registration is required for some of the activities.
Limited free parking is available on Unwin Avenue, Leslie Street, and in the park’s parking lot.
Pets are not permitted in the park.
Tommy Thompson Park, the largest green space in the city and a popular stopping point for more than 300 bird species, is at 1 Leslie St., at Unwin Avenue in the port lands.
A big presence will be missing from the Spring Bird Festival this Saturday at Tommy Thompson Park.
Bronwyn Dalziel, a long-time volunteer at the park’s migratory bird banding sta-tion, was killed March 27 in an automobile collision.
The North York resident, who was wrapping up a mas-ter’s degree in ornithology (the branch of zoology that involves the study of birds) at the University of Toronto, was 24. She leaves behind her mother, Catherine, father, Robert, and 22-year-old brother, David, as well as many family members and good friends.
At the time of her death, Dalziel was in the Barrie area doing bird banding with a friend when the car she was driving and a van collided. Four other people were injured in the crash, which occurred around 4 p.m. on 9th Line at 5th Sideroad.
“Bronwyn would have been front and centre at the Spring Bird Festival,” said Ralph Toninger, manager of Tommy Thompson Park and manager of restoration proj-ects for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.
“She would be running pro-grams at the bird research sta-tion, helping with social media and doing data analysis. Her dedication was incredible.”
Dalziel became interested in birds when she was 12 years old, said Catherine.
“We had a bird feeder at home and it piqued her inter-est in exploring birds further,” she said.
Toninger said everyone at the research station is upset by Dalziel’s death.
“It leaves an emotional hole in the lab. We are struggling with her absence,” Toninger said.
“She did everything. She was a super volunteer. She kept records, hosted tours, and shared her knowledge with visitors.”

Motorists will have to deal with a mass closure of the Gardiner Expressway this weekend.
As of 11 p.m. tomorrow, the entire Gardiner, from Carlaw Avenue to Hwy. 427, will be closed so city work crews can
attend to spring maintenance tasks as well as the demolition of the Dowling Avenue Bridge spanning the expressway.
During the closure, road restrictions will be lifted westbound on Lake Shore Boulevard between York
Street and Rees. The city recommends making use of Lake Shore, the Queensway, King Street, Bloor Street and Evans Avenue as alternate routes.
The Gardiner will re-open as of 5 a.m. Monday.

Maya N., Sweden
Maya was shocked by the change in her hair.Fullness and volume were replaced by thinnessand lifeless hair. She had to do something.
The hair I found in mybrush, in the shower andon my cardigan was unfa-miliar to me. It was thinninglike never before. How couldthis be happening?
I had to do somethingI found out my mother expe-rienced the same problemswhen she was younger, andshe simply accepted her fate.But so much of my personal-ity is in my hair, and I didnot want to have the sameproblems. I had read aboutthe importance of hair nutri-ents, so I decided to focus onthe inside rather than on theoutside, and went looking fora good supplement.
My hair now feels fullerI was recommended anatural product called HairVolume™. I have now usedit for 2 months and I am re-ally satisfied with the prod-uct. My hair feels full andhealthy and even my nailsfeel much stronger. Theshedding has also almoststopped. This is proof to methat proper nutrition on theinside helps you look yourbest on the outside. I highlyrecommend Hair Volume.”
I panicked –
My hair wasthinning!
Hair Volume™ is a Swedishhair tablet that nourishesyour hair from the inside.Hair Volume is producedby New Nordic, the n°1supplier of natural healthproducts in Scandinavia.
