By Linda Plater For many people summertime signals patio time. It’s a chance to reconnect with friends, old and new, and feel great relaxing outdoors enjoying something refreshing. The ambiance of the Village of Islington is boosted by its outdoor pubs and eateries, many with great views of the murals decorating walls of nearby buildings.

On patios along Dundas West just east of Cordova, you can sip a Tim Horton’s coffee at Rabba, toast your friends over a delicious prix-fixe at the Village Trattoria or share Latin-Asian tapas at Mai Bistro.

Further west on the north side of Dundas West is the iconic Fox n’ Fiddle Precinct boasting a long and celebrated history. (See Page five for the story of this building). On their second-floor patio bordered by beautiful hanging floral baskets, you can order a fine pint of brew from a selection of over 26 beers on tap. Tessie McDaid’s at Royalavon has a popular patio set back along the quieter side street.

Finally, at the most western end of the business improvement area, patrons of St. James Gate will always find Guinness, live music indoors and, when it’s not packed, a choice outdoor table. Whatever you thirst for, the local pubs, cafes and patios are open to serve you. So, go out and celebrate summertime – a warm welcome to patio season!

History of the former Etobicoke Township Hall4946 Dundas Street WestBy Denise Harris

5

In 1849, the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada passed the Municipal Corporations (Baldwin) Act, allowing municipal governments to raise taxes and enact by-laws, finally bringing into reality the reforms that citizens had been seeking. After holding their first municipal election, Etobicoke’s initial township council met on January 21, 1850 in Kay’s Inn on Dundas Street… a place now lost to time. For the next 38 years, public council meetings were held in different taverns and schools across the township, but council members did most of their work in their own homes – a frugal trend that became an Etobicoke hallmark. In 1888, Etobicoke’s council voted to purchase a former Wesleyan Methodist Chapel on Dundas Street in Islington for $700 and they turned it into Etobicoke’s first township hall. Built in 1843 of rough cast stucco over frame, the township soon covered the exterior with brick, added two brick buttresses on each side, and mounted a stone marker over the front door that read “Etobicoke Municipal Building - Erected 1843.” Inside, the hall consisted of one large room with a long table where the council sat during meetings. The public sat in the building’s former church pews. Council members still did most of their work at home. In 1922, work began to enlarge the township hall. An addition was built at the rear of the building where, for the first time, the town clerk and the treasurer had offices, and stenographers were hired to assist them. In 1929, a basement was added to house the engineering department. In 1946-48, the township hall underwent a major expansion to enable all municipal services to be provided under one roof. A second storey was added and large two-storey additions were built at the front and rear. The front addition is in a Colonial Revival style with a symmetrical façade and a low-pitched hipped roof with a classic “town clock” mounted in the centre. There are five bays of sash windows, each with a decorative keystone. The main entrance has a stone door-surround and across the top is a low stone arch over a plaque that reads “Etobicoke Municipal Offices”. On top of the arch is a curvilinear floral design in stone, reminiscent of Art Nouveau styling. A door on the east wall has a stone plaque over a door to the basement that reads “Police.” The brick walls of the original hall with its 1888 buttresses can still be seen. However, with the huge post-war population and housing boom, even this new space quickly became inadequate and the township soon acquired overflow offices in three other Islington locations. In 1955 the township purchased 22 acres of land on the west side of Highway 27, south of Burnhamthorpe Road, for a new Municipal Centre. Designed by Toronto architects Shore and Moffat in an International style, its official opening was September 23, 1958. The former township hall then became the Etobicoke headquarters for the Metropolitan Toronto Police until they moved to a new location ca.1980. The building has been a restaurant since then, first the Village Restaurant and then the Fox and Fiddle. Etobicoke Township became the Borough of Etobicoke in 1967, and then the City of Etobicoke in 1983. When it became part of an amalgamated City of Toronto in 1998, “Etobicoke” disappeared as a legal entity, but a new commemorative plaque in 2018 will ensure it does not disappear from memory!

Would You Like Music With Your Burger?By Ed Lettner

Music accompanies dining in many restaurants and for good reason. A properly implemented music policy can help to accentuate the positive in many ways when people eat and socialize, however, problems can arise if it’s not done right. Music can have a big impact on the ‘feel-good’ experience of being in a restaurant but achieving this aim depends on playing the right type of music. A fine dining restaurant catering to an older clientele might do well with classical music whereas a trendy restaurant with young customers would probably play contemporary pop music. Some restaurant owners make the mistake of thinking that all of their guests want to hear the same type of music they do. Another mistake is to delegate the choice of music to a staff member who may choose music without being sensitive to the fact that some pop songs have lyrics that are inappropriate or offensive. One way to avoid these problems is for a restaurant to subscribe to a music service that provides playlists for restaurants that are chosen based on criteria such as musical style and client age. Another option is for a restaurant to have live music, which offers many advantages over recorded music. Live music creates energy and a positive atmosphere in different ways than recorded music does. Also, musicians can select music to set a certain mood and they can play requests they receive from the restaurant’s patrons. This interaction between the performer(s) and diners fosters a unique experience. It can result in restaurant guests being more engaged and more likely to linger after dining. Live music is also a way to attract new customers to a restaurant who might not have otherwise visited. One problem for restaurants with live or recorded music is that of the music being too loud. I think most of us have experienced being unable to speak with the person or people we are with because of the volume of the music. This is an issue that restaurant’s owners need to be aware of because it can result in customers not returning. Music can offer many benefits to restaurants however if adding music to the menu is not done properly, it may leave diners with a bad taste. Ed Lettner owns The Music Studio located in the Islington Village Plaza which has offered music instruction since 1990. He is an honours graduate of the Humber College Institute of Technology music program.

Is it just me, or did this winter seem especially dreary? Now that patio weather is finally here, many will want to spend a few moments sipping a cool libation, and, for some, the beverage of choice will be beer.

Canadians have long taken great pride in their brewing traditions. Our national and local craft breweries are internationally recognized for the high quality of their products. The Canadian International Beer Awards competition took place on May 14th and several Canadian beers were top-ranked, including Blindman Brewing from Lacombe, Alberta who won 8 awards, Parallel 49 Craft Brewing from Vancouver who won the top award for light lagers, and Collective Arts Brewing from Hamilton who took the top award for porters.

Much attention has been paid to the health benefits of red wines over the last

several years, but beer offers health benefits too. Here are some examples.

Aids in digestion

Beer has been shown to aid digestion through the stimulation of hormones that regulate digestive activities (gastrin, cholecystokinin), and stimulating the release of gastric acid, bile and pancreatic enzymes. It also appears to reduce bile concentration which could lower the risk of developing gallstones.

Prevents anemia

Beer is offers several nutrients, including vitamins B12 and folic acid. Inadequate levels of these vitamins can result in anemia. Vitamin B12 is also plays important roles in the maintenance of memory and concentration.

Cardiovascular Benefits

The resveratrol in red wine is credited with heart-supporting effects. It turns out constituents in beer can support heart function too. Beer contains vitamin B6, which prevents the build-up of a compound called homocysteine, a marker for heart disease.

Homocysteine is an amino acid which may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis when it is in high concentrations in the blood. Atherosclerosis is a condition of the arteries where the walls become damaged and patched by fatty deposits called plaques. Plaques can break off or occlude arteries, contributing to heart attacks and strokes.

Moderate consumption of beer has also been found to reduce the risk of inflammation, thought to be a key contributor to atherosclerosis.

As with the consumption of any form of alcohol, moderation is key, but if you ever wondered if beer could help you as well as hurt you, now you know.

Commitment to a job can be tough for the average worker. With a growing mobile and dynamic workforce, loyalty seems to be redefined .For millennials; it appears that their loyalties are conditional on their demands for an employment situation that positively impacts their lifestyle.

Staying loyal to your current employer can be hard especially in a highly competitive job market. For people focused on career and personal achievement, it can become increasingly difficult to just sit put in hopes of advancement. When a new and appealing offer arises, curious fact-finders with no intentions of leaving their current job might find a new opportunity too attractive to turn down. For people who believe they can do better, it’s tough for them to give their “all” to a job that doesn’t return to them the satisfaction that they are looking for. Many unsatisfied workers including disgruntled employees might find it virtually impossible to remain true to their work and their boss. It’s easy to understand why employees might change jobs if they feel negative about their work and the way they are treated there. Leaving a safe job and taking risks appear to be worth the gamble for the younger workers who tend to have less at stake, as many jobs these days do not offer the benefits and pensions once available to their parents. With the cost of payroll and

Employee LoyaltyBy Linda Plater

growing pressure on business owners, it is not entirely an employers’ fault for having to cut costs which might make their employees quit. It may be a lack of communication or clear understanding of expectations that cause employees to leave their existing jobs. Understandably, retention of good employees is key to business success, but it is the joint responsibility of employers and employees to keep tabs on the job and related expectations for it. Regular performance evaluations help to determine if a worker’s performance meets, exceeds or falls below employer expectations. Without an honest review of job requirements and employee goals, it is difficult for anyone to know just why an employee might turn their back on their current employer. It may have little to do with the “loyalty factor” but more to do with personal priorities.

Doors Open Toronto May 26-27, 2018 marked the seventh year that the Village of Islington BIA has sponsored mural trolley tours for Doors Open Toronto. Over 600 visitors came to enjoy ten trolley tours and five walking tours of the village. Some were local residents and business owners and others came from across the city and around the world. Many said they would be back with their friends and family. The Music Studio entertained visitors, and Montgomery’s Inn welcomed people to share in our community’s history.

Toronto’s Village of Murals thanks all volunteers and business owners for supporting the ever-popular ArtWalk and trolley tours.

Words can lie. The body does not. This mantra is the basis of AESTRIDR’s ground-breaking work, HERE ME, a solo premiering this summer at the Toronto Fringe Festival. HERE ME follows an intimate dialogue between AESTRIDR and the audience as she attempts to bridge the lifelong disconnect between her atypical deaf identity and the rest of the world. AESTRIDR, known to family and friends as Amelia Nyla Jakasa, is a deaf contemporary dance artist who has been living in the Islington area most of her life. Only a year ago, she began creative work that delves into her status as an anomaly among the deaf community. At the age of six AESTRIDR was diagnosed with profound bilateral hearing loss and subsequently began wearing hearing aids. Because of the advice from her doctors and the climate at home, she was never assimilated into deaf culture so there was no instruction or communication in American Sign Language, and no social relations with the deaf community and its participating individuals. With her deafness, a persisting speech impediment, social isolation and ridicule in the midst of a loud world, AESTRIDR struggles to convey her stories. To remedy this, she has created a language founded on eye contact, touch, expressions and gestures shown through movement of the body alone. In order for this language to function, AESTRIDR needs to have a conversation with someone, or with a larger audience. Those who choose to participate must acknowledge that, in entering the space, they are trusted. AESTRIDR asks that trust be reciprocated. HERE ME is series of stories and experiences created in the moment - the dialogues created each night may be similar or drastically different. Choices are made by both audience and artist as they interact, witnessing and feeling joy, grief, and laughter. At the end of the conversation, no two participants take home the same experience. HERE ME is playing at Tarragon Theatre Extraspace and runs from July 4 - July 15,2018. Tickets are $12 and are available for purchase on the Fringe Festival websitehttp://fringetoronto.com . HERE ME contains scenes with full and prolonged nudity, and depicts stressful situations such as anxiety attacks. To learn more about AESTRIDR and her work, visit www.aestridr.com

Flood Safety: How to protect your homeBy Lola Macanowicz, CFP, CLU, CHS, CIP

Certified Financial Planner & Insurance Advisor

As July 8th approaches, the fifth anniversary of the 2013 storm that seemed to target Etobicoke, I thought it would be appropriate to share some key points on how to protect your home and belongings from a future similar incident. Flood safety: How to protect your homeExtreme weather is causing more water damage than ever. Protect your home and family before, during and after a flood.

Before flood season: PreventPlan ahead and complete some simple home maintenance to reduce your risk if a flood impacts your area:• Inventory your belongings using photos or video• Create an emergency plan with a designated meeting place• Pack a 72-hour emergency survival kit• Clean drains, eavestroughs, downspouts, catch basins and gutters• Check the grading and extend downspouts away from the foundation• Seal cracks on all walls• If you have a sump pump, make sure you have an automatic secondary backup• Don’t dispose of fats, oil, grease or other objects in your sinks or toilets• Basement Flooding Protection Programs may exist in your area – it’s definitely worth checking out. https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/water-environment/managing-rain-melted-snow/basement-flooding/basement-flooding-protection-program/ During a flood: ProtectIf a flood is imminent, take the following steps as soon as it’s safe:• Shut off electrical, furnace, gas and water, and disconnect appliances if safe• Move to higher ground• Move valuables from the basement to upper floors• Raise large appliances up on wood or cement blocks. If items can’t be raised, consider anchoring them and protecting them with a floodwall or shield• Stay calm and listen for evacuation, boil-water or other advisories from authorities After a flood: PersevereBefore you return home, ensure there is safe drinking water, a working bathroom and sewer system, clearance from all utility providers, and the structure is safe – check for buckled walls, damaged floors, broken glass and debris.Once home, take immediate steps to reduce and report any damage:• Remove pooled water and damaged materials• Look for signs of mould contamination within the first 24-48 hours• Clean, disinfect and dry every flood-contaminated room• Keep fans running• Take pictures or video of the damage• Report the damage to your insurance provider and local municipality• When cleared by your insurer, dispose of your flood-damaged items according to local regulations Your home holds everyone and everything you love and value most.

Following a successful pilot project last year, the City of Toronto, the

David Cornfield Melanoma Fund and the Douglas Wright Foundation have

expanded a public health program to provide free sunscreen in select City

parks this summer.

The Health Canada-approved SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen will be available

at 50 dispensers located in City parks along the waterfront, spanning nearly 50

kilometres from Marie Curtis Park to Rouge Beach.

Crews provided by the melanoma foundations will maintain and stock the

dispensers. The two foundations are covering all costs, with the City providing

locations and administrative support. Last year’s pilot involved placing

dispensers in five parks along the downtown waterfront. The pilot won the 2017

Canadian Dermatology Association Public Education Award.

“Our waterfront parks are well-loved and well-used by Torontonians and visitors

alike,” said Mayor John Tory. “With the success of the pilot and expansion of

this program, it’s great to see that so many will be able to enjoy our common

grounds with easy access to sun safety.”

“Although preventable, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in

Canada,” said Danielle Paterson, Executive Director of the David Cornfield

Melanoma Fund and a representative for the Douglas Wright Foundation.

“Melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer, is one of the fastest rising cancers in

Canada. On this Melanoma Monday, we are proud to expand our partnership

with the City of Toronto. Our sunscreen dispensers will help raise awareness

of melanoma and sun safety, while providing sun protection for thousands of

Torontonians.”

“I encourage everyone to get outside and enjoy summer activities in our great

city now that the warmer weather is upon us,” said Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto’s

Medical Officer of Health. “Following simple safety tips when outdoors, such as

applying sunscreen regularly, wearing sunglasses and seeking shade, can help

people protect themselves from the sun. This initiative is a great way to help

people protect themselves and promote good health during summer months.”

The program’s social media hashtag is #besunsafe. A website, besunsafe.

ca, provides more information about the program, sun safety tips and a map

showing dispenser sites once they are installed, expected by the end of June.

The David Cornfield Melanoma Fund is a Canadian charity that saves lives

from melanoma by raising awareness, promoting prevention and supporting

research. Visit dcmf.ca for program, research and impact information.

The Douglas Wright Foundation is devoted to fighting melanoma in Canada

by increasing awareness, educating the public about early detection and

preventative measures, and fostering partnerships between like-minded

organizations. More information is available at douglaswrightfoundation.com.
