The Kingsway Baptist Church com-munity has taken an act of hate and transformed it into a message of love.
On Sunday, just two days after a vandal broke into their beloved church – tearing up a Bible, emp-tying fire extinguishers all over the building, and splashing paint over the walls – nearly the entire Kingsway Baptist congregation ended its weekly service with a Grace Walk through the community that supported them throughout the
ordeal. “I have to say, out of this one
bad, terrible act, a lot of goodness has emerged,” said Pastor Wayne Dickau, noting that a number of community churches called to offer up their buildings for Sunday service, both church-goers and non-church-goers alike have offered up their support, and donation offers have come in from across the province.
“It’s been that kind of heartfelt outpouring from the community, and it’s been really good to find out there are a lot of good hearts around. These are really good and concerned citizens that don’t make
the news – the vandal makes the news, but these are the people that really should.”
According to police, that vandal – an unknown male suspect – forced a door to the church at 41 Birchview Blvd. (at Bloor Street West and Montgomery Road) shortly before 4 a.m. Friday morning and went on an estimated $30,000 rampage.
Dickau said the church’s security company was alerted to the break-in, but took about 30 minutes to respond to the scene. A lone male suspect, described as a white male, aged 20 to 24, 5’8” to 5’10”, 140 to 150 pounds, with short brown hair
and a thin build was seen fl eeing the church westbound on Birchview upon the security company’s arrival.
No arrest has yet been made. While the actual physical damage
caused by the vandal was minimal – damaged drums and a ripped up Bible – Dickau said the mess caused by the discharged fi re extinguishers is proving to be costly.
“I am telling you, virtually every one of our fire extinguishers he discharged all over the building – upstairs, downstairs, in nooks and crannies, and closets. He even

An Etobicoke teen’s ‘old soul’ singing chops recently earned him a one-in-12
chance of becoming Canada’s The Next Star.
Kafaye Rose, a 15-year-old Silverthorn Collegiate student, earned his way into a finalist position on the YTV singing competition show this week by wowing the judges with his smooth rendition of Bill Withers’ Ain’t No Sunshine.
“There’s some age, some old soul in that voice. It’s kind of mind-blowing,” said Mark Spicoluk, a Universal Music Canada record executive and one of three new judges on the fifth season of YTV’s The Next Star.
Juno Award-winning Keshia Chante, a Canadian R&B sensa-tion, agreed with her fellow judge’s assessment.
“You’re definitely old soul,” she told a grinning Kafaye on Monday night’s show, which was filmed back in May during The Next Star’s cross-country audi-tion tour that saw more than
4,000 kids aged 15 and under vie for one of just 12 ‘golden tickets’ to the finals. “I can hear the Sam Cooke in you, I can hear all of that, and I thought that was really refreshing and kind of enlightening in a way.”
Flattered by all the praise – and the golden ticket – he received from the judges, Kafaye said he hopes The Next Star will help catapult him into a profes-sional singing career reminiscent of those of his idols: Withers, Cooke, Otis Redding, and Toronto’s reggae and R&B legend Jay Douglas, a close family friend he calls uncle.
“I hope that people see this and they see the talent I have. I want this to be a stepping stone for greater things, so I’m hoping this will help me make it into a musical career,” Kafaye told The Guardian this week. “I would like to make it big and influence people with my music, touring around the world.”
Calling his audition appear-ance in front of the judges ‘nerve-wracking,’ the teen jazz and blues singer said The Next Star judges – who along
with Chante and Spicoluk, also includes Canadian country sweetheart Tara Oram – did everything they could to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
“Going in front of the judges, I was really nervous but they were really nice and they just welcome you so you feel comfortable,” he said. “Plus, they gave me some good comments and I got some constructive criticism that I will expand on.”
Should Kafaye advance in next Monday’s show, he’ll be named one of six finalists to get a taste of the limelight through the remaining seven episodes of the show.
As in previous seasons, each of the six The Next Star finalists will be mentored though an array of challenges that will help them master their original sound, style and stage presence – all in preparation for recording their own original song and starring in their very own music video.
In addition, the ultimate winner – who will be named during a live finale broadcast from Canada’s Wonderland on
Sept. 23 – will not only take home the title of The Next Star, but also a prize package includ-ing two songs to be released on Sony Music Canada, and a $5,000 spending spree at Sears.
Those who missed Kafaye per-
form on Monday’s episode can go to YTV.com to watch the entire third episode online, or go to his YouTube channel at KafayeRose1 to see him perform covers by artists as varied as Justin Bieber, The Beatles, and Frank Sinatra.

The Lakeshore Mardi Gras is coming back to Col. Samuel Smith Park over the August long week-end – and David Wilcox is one of the ninth annual event’s exciting headliners.
The four-day event, which runs this year from Friday, Aug. 3 to Monday, Aug. 6, draws its inspi-ration from the world-famous Mardi Gras held annually in New Orleans.
As always, Lakeshore Mardi Gras revellers will this year be able to sample a wide variety of cuisines, while enjoying Dixie, jazz and blues bands on the mainstage – including Wilcox, Suzie McNeil, Alan Frew of Glass Tiger, and The Kings – and buskers performing dazzling displays of entertainment.
There will also be a wide variety
of food vendors, a beer garden, a kids’ zone, interactive games, a midway, and market vendors offering arts, crafts, jewelry and more.
Admission to the Lakeshore Mardi Gras is free and all are wel-come.
Set in a natural park setting in the heart of the Lakeshore com-munity, Col. Samuel Smith Park is located at Kipling Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard West.
For more information on the long weekend festival, go to www.lakeshoremardigras.ca

Your VIEW
Toronto’s a great city and has a lot to offer its resi-dents in the summer.
Take advantage of small neighbourhood gatherings. Attend a more public evening out like the Friday evening Cultura Festival events or the Sunday Serenades at Mel Lastman Square in North York. Maybe it’s a multi-day/multi-site festival, such as this weekend’s Caribana, taking place in locations down-town and at Exhibition Place.
It’s not so much what a resident chooses to experi-ence. The type or scale of the event doesn’t matter – but taking part in some way does.
By supporting local events with their presence, residents are making an emphatic statement of com-munity ownership and pride. They’re saying their commu-nity matters.
Given the tragic events of the previous month, an infusion of community spirit across the city proves Toronto is for its residents to enjoy.
When you’re part of a com-munity, taking part in what it has to offer provides mutual benefits.
Large or small, these events are an opportunity to educate yourself about your community. There’s a reason we choose to live where we do. Finding out more forges a stronger connection and a greater identification.
If it’s an event close to home that is more to your liking, there are also opportunities to find out more about your own neighbourhood. Even if you find community spirit is lacking, why not get involved to start something new that addresses this void?
Own your piece of the city. Get to know it inti-mately.
If it’s an event in another part of the city, it may be an opportunity to broaden your own horizons. There are also opportunities for Toronto’s communities to learn from one another. You may even be inspired to start something similar in your neighbourhood based on something you’ve seen in another part of the city. Ultimately, Toronto as a city will only be as strong as its people.
What better way to play that role than by experi-encing and enjoying the things that make this city great? Think of it like a fine green lawn. A well-fertil-ized lawn not only enhances the growth and appear-ance, it chokes out the unwanted weeds that leave the lawn malnourished and unattractive.
We can choke out the unwanted elements in our communities; it just takes an active population in every neighbourhood to show who owns the com-munity.
One year ago, council re-asserted itself
Explore the city, expand your reach
Mayor Rob Ford’s term of office may have started
in December of 2010, but Toronto council’s first term started somewhat later: a year ago this week, when Mayor Ford’s executive committee dared Torontonians to stay up all night to have their say on the KPMG core services review.
The review, as you may recall, recommended the city get out of all sorts of services – curtailing library services, shutting down pet-ting zoos, even selling major assets like the Toronto Zoo.
Hundreds of residents put their name on a list to speak to the mayor in opposition to those changes – and in what can be described only as an historic act of passive aggression, the mayor decreed that all those deputations would be heard through a single meeting, even if it took all night. It did take all night.
The executive commit-tee heard from teenagers from Scarborough as well as downtown community organizers; parents worried about recreation programs for their children, and some
people who were associated with the labour move-ment. There was almost no one there who thought the proposed cuts were a good idea, and at the end of it all, the mayor’s point man, Giorgio Mammoliti, dismissed the majority of the deputants as commu-nists – because really, what else could he say? And that was about the point where those Torontonians and others who’d gone to bed gave their councillors their marching orders – which is to say, take charge and either negotiate with the mayor on service cuts or overrule him.
Toronto Council did as it was told. It talked the mayor and his team out of closing libraries and pushed them away from unpopular service cuts. It gave com-munities surrounding the Riverdale Farm and the High Park Zoo the breathing
room they needed to fund-raise to keep those things open. Council out-and-out took over the budget in 2012 and after that, ran the mayor’s subway plan out of town on a rail.
This week, there are no public hearings – as there shouldn’t be, at the begin-ning of August in Toronto. The 44-member Toronto Council is in charge. It’s not always graceful; that heav-ily-amended budget that council passed in the winter has required more than a little tinkering through the spring and summer to hold water, and a made-by-coun-cil transit plan crumbled to dust almost as soon as TTC Chair Karen Stintz unveiled it.
But it’s worth remember-ing how a summer ago, Toronto residents stood up in the face of a stacked meeting and a determined mayor, and with their own determination, re-stacked city council and effectively changed the government.

To the editor:I would like to humbly
suggest a simple solution to improve the staffing levels in Toronto’s police depart-ment.
I have to wonder why I see fully equipped, good to go police officers standing around the many dozens of construction sites across the city watching a work crew digging a hole.
Why did this suddenly have to become standard practice for every construc-tion site a few years ago?
HiRE TEENs FOR jOb
Could a bored 18-year-old holding a stop/slow sign be just as effective in most instances?
I see lots of non-police people doing a credible job outside of the city boundar-ies, especially on the high-ways.
What is the ultimate cost to the taxpayers of Toronto?
If these men and women have all of this extra time off so that they can work these hours plus their regular shift, perhaps the regular shift could be increased to allow them to focus on essential police work.
So I have to ask, is the City of Toronto squandering this valuable resource by assign-ing its police officers to this duty?
Is this another way for our cash-strapped city to generate income for the city treasury by having the con-tractor pay for security? Or is this once again part of the dance between the city and its unionized employees?
We are paying these valu-able people top wages and benefits and I want to know if we are getting the best value from our employees?
No offence is intended here, but know some of the more enterprising fire and police personal have time to find second incomes.

As members of the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay team,
the pair of 18 year olds – along with teammates Barbara Jardin and Samantha Cheverton – finished an impressive fourth against a tough field of swim-mers from the United States, Australia and France.
The pair, both Silverthorn Collegiate graduates swim-ming out of Etobicoke Swim Club, each made their Olympic debuts at this year’s Games in Great Britain.

Canada’s national junior hockey squad is off to battle the Russians in a four-game series that pays tribute to the original 1972 series – but first they’ll drop by Etobicoke for a tune-up practice.
And it’s open to the public this Friday beginning at 10 a.m. at the MasterCard Centre in south Etobicoke, 400 Kipling Ave. (south of the Gardiner Expressway).
And then after the junior team clears out (for their series which takes place Aug. 9 and 10 in Yaroslavl and Aug. 13 and 14 in Halifax), Canada’s U-18 national team will then take over the building for a four-day selection camp with 40 players from across the country invited.
The U-18 invitees are bat-tling for a spot on the 22-man
roster that will compete in the 2012 Ivan Hlinka Memorial tournament Aug. 13 to 18 in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
All practices and games are free of charge to the public but Hockey Canada advises to “please note that seating is limited.”
For game and practice times, visit the Hockey Canada website at http://www.hock-eycanada.ca/
subban brothers
Etobicoke boasts players in both camps, including the Subban brothers, Malcolm, 18, and Jordan, 17, from Rexdale, who are split between the two camps, and Adam Pelech, a former student at Etobicoke’s Bishop Allen Academy.
The Subbans, who both play for the Belleville Bulls in the Ontario Hockey League,
are brothers of Montreal Canadians player P.K. Subban, 23, and their father, Karl, is principal at North York’s Brookview Middle School.
The two Etobicoke play-ers on the Russia-bound Canadian junior team (which practices Friday, Aug. 3 at 10 a.m.) are:

AutocAtch.com is the best plAce to find your next vehicle.
General Motors research-ers are developing a prom-ising driver assistance fea-ture potentially capable of detecting pedestrians and bicyclists on congested streets or in poor visibility conditions before the driv-er notices them.
The feature relies on Wi-Fi Direct, the peer-to-peer wireless standard that al-lows devices like some smartphones to commu-nicate directly with each other rather than through a shared access point like a cell phone tower.
GM researchers have determined Wi-Fi Direct can be integrated with other sensor-based object detection and driver alert systems already available on production vehicles to help detect pedestrians and bicyclists carrying smartphones equipped with Wi-Fi Direct.
The automaker also is looking to develop a complementary app for Wi-Fi Direct-capable smart-phones that can be down-
loaded by frequent road users such as “bike mes-senger” or “construction worker” that will help Wi-Fi Direct-equipped vehicles identify them.
Wireless pedestrian detection is part of GM’s ongoing development of vehicle-to-infrastructure
(V2I) and vehicle-to-vehi-cle (V2V) communication systems that could provide advance warning about hazards such as slowed or stalled vehicles, slippery roads or intersections and stop signs.
By eliminating the inter-mediate step required to
reach a cell phone tower, Wi-Fi Direct allows devices to connect in approximate-ly one second compared to conventional wireless systems that typically need seven or eight seconds to acquire location informa-tion and connect.

opened the refrigerators and sprayed into them,” he said. “That’s a lot of trouble for a building like ours with a high roof, because that dust has gotten everywhere and it’s quite an expense to clean. We’re still wondering what it’s going to mean for things like the piano and the pipe organ, especially. It can be quite, quite expensive for that.”
There was also paint damage, and – contrary to some over-exaggerated media reports – only a few scrawled messages of hate, Dickau added.
“There were just a couple of statements: the ‘F’ word and one small statement that said ‘F God’,” he said, noting that while police first investigated the incident as a possible hate crime, investigators are now softening on that stance – and so is the church community.
Personally, Dickau said he’d
love to sit down with the young man responsible and ask him just one question: why?
“I’d want to know what kind of thing was going on in his life that would make him want to lash out in this kind of way – what kind of hurt, what kind of anger, what kind of frustra-tions are part of a person’s life that would make him want to do this,” he said.
“And we, as a church, would want to bring grace and for-giveness to this person’s life, and the correct kind of help-ful love that would bring the right kind of restoration to his life.”
As for moving forward,
Dickau said Sunday’s Grace Walk – during which church members marched around The Kingsway holding signs reading ‘We Love Our Community’ and ‘Thank You for Your Support, Kingsway Community’ – was definitely a step in the right direction.
“I think the church feels stronger now; that we really do have a voice, we really can make a statement, and the community really is listen-ing,” he said. “The building isn’t the church, the people are the church – and they really showed that on Sunday.”
While Dickau said the church’s insurance will likely cover the ‘lion’s share’ of the cleanup and repair costs, he still estimates the church will incur costs in the thou-sands.
Anyone wishing to donate to a dedicated restoration fund can do so by contacting the church through its website at www.kingswaybaptist.ca
