.Public parking:

writing on the wall

Parking garages aren't an

environmentally sexy thing to

support right? Wrong. As our

two City Parking facilities go, so

goes the Market mix.

Superficially, the situation has

never been better. The new

garage at Baldwin!St Andrew

has lots of room; the giant

restaurant at St Andrew/Spadina

that used to vacuum all the spare

parking has been replaced by

something much smaller. And

rates at Bellevue and at St

Andrew are among the lowest in

the city. ·

But the rosy picture could fade

in a flash.

You see, when the Parking

Authority agreed to expand the

Baldwin!St Andrew garage, it

was against their staff recommendations.

Staff didn.t believe

business would pick up enough

to justify the expansion. After

two years we'll review it, they

said. And if it isn't performing

to expectations, we may sell the

Bellevue lot ..

Well, the two years is nearly

up. And except on weekends the

Baldwin!St Andrew lot is still

under-used. So is Bellevue.

Merchants! this is a wake-up

call for you and your customers.

Use them, or lose them!

Why should the rest of us

care? Well, for one thing, forget

dreams of a pedestrian mall in

the Market if there's no adequate

parking on its edges.

And just think what it would

do to break through the

factionalism in the Market if the

whole cimmunity could recognize

the value of even "uncool"

resources like these and work

together to protect them.

A BRIEF HISTORY

OF BELLEVUE SQUARE

The Denison Years

IY RicK ANORIGHETTI

The idea of what makes a good

garden or park is very much a

reflection of the social values of a

particular time. This short article

will describe. the origins of what we

now know as Bellevue Squar~ Park

·as it was jiPst carved out of the

forests on the edge of the early

Town of York.

Guard. This original Parade ground

extended from Leonard to Augusta,

and from Denison Square to Wales.

In 1853, George Denison's son,

Major Robert B. Denison inherited·

the Belle Vue property. He immediately

began to sell-off his estate,

dividing it up into building lots

which form the neighborhood we

know today. He transformed the

eastern half of the meadow in front

of his home from a place for the

display of power· and authority, into

one for the display of aristocratic

taste. A Victorian garden consisting

of curving paths, scattered

shrubs and wild flowers became a

place for quiet pleasl!res.

Park improvements

Community meeting Dec 10 agrees on

playground fence as first step

BY DAVID PERLMAN

At a meeting at the Hasinan Association

building on Augusta Avenue

December 10, the people in attendance

supported the idea of asking the city to

look at fencing off the playground area

in Bellevue Square Park as a first step

in a much more ambitious plan to give

the park a facelift and bring it up to

date with community needs.

"All that was approved at the

meeting was the request for the fence",

said resident Rick Andrighetti, who

presented the "big picture" to the

meeting. "The reason for presenting the

big picture was for people to see that

we've done some thinking about how

the fence fits into the park as a whole.

But the big picture is just an idea for

discussion, not a done deal."

The proposed fence follows a curvy

line roughly around the existing sandy

play area, but bringing in bits of grass

so caregivers will have comfortable

shade to sit.

to have several additional gates in the

fence which would normally be

padlocked but could be opened on

special occasions.

"The fence is defensible" said

committee menrnber David Melville in

summarizing the decision to move

ahead.

av MAsHA BuELL

1. Sweet and hot;

holiday gingerbread

This is an old family recipe for a dough that is

ea.sy to handle, so that anyone can have fun

creating treats that look great. The flavour is

unique: sweet enough to please a nagging sweet

tooth, but spicy enough that even fire-eaters will

be satisfied Little kids love crunching them, but

seldom eat too many.

Shopping: a couple of Kensington spots stock

most of these things, or you can treat yourself to

a to a stroll through all your favourite shops,

picking up a couple of ingredients at each. It's a

great excuse to visit.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup of block margarine, at room temperature.

It's not easy to find, but the little grocery

store across from Sanci's on Kensington has it

(Nico brand), and the lberica Bakery on

Augusta has a Portuguese one.

1· cup raw sugar. This is the brown very

granulated stuff.

1 cup of blackstrap molasses. Health food

stores, Caribbean grocery stores, some of the

bulk food shops.

The spices: 3 level tablespoons ground ginger, 2

level tablespoons ground cinnamon; and 1/4

teaspoon (careful!) of ground. cayenne pepper.

2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (seeds

removed!) ·

4 ¥t cups unbleached flour, mixed with 2

teaspoons of baking soda.

Second stage:

Combine margarine and sugar until colour is

even and smooth. Beat in molasses, beat in

lemon juice.

Add spices - stir slowly at first so you

don't get pepper sprayed! Add the baking soda/

flour mixture a little at_at a time. When dough

is too stiff to mix with a spoon, add rest of flour

and continue to mix with your hands until you

have a smooth ball with no streaks in it.

Turn it out on a smooth surface. Pick it

up, bang it down, turn it over. Do that about 10

times and then roll and pat into a log shape.

. Wrap in waxed paper or plastic, and refrigerate

at least 3 hours. Overnight is better.

~a~n~ -

Use about a third at a time, work it in your

hands and on a clean smooth surface until it

feels good. Roll it out. A very little bit of flour

on the table will prevent sticking. About 1/4"

thick will give you cookies that don't break too

easily. Make shapes using cookie cutters, water

glass, sharp knife or even fingers. .

Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Cookies must be all about the same thickness

so that you don't end up with some bJJmt and,

some undercgoked. Don't have them touching

or they'll stick together. Decorate, if you're

going to, 'before you bake.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

The cookies are done when they feel a little

firm around the edges. Remove promptly from

the cookie sheet to a wire rack and let cool.

2. Holiday Hot and Sour:

best turkey leftovers

Credit the Jing Peking Restaurant ( 404

College Street, at Borden). We ran the

recipe for their unbeatable Hot and Sour

Soup back in the summer of 1994, and got

grateful rave reviews f~om everyone who

tried it. To give them additional credit, if

you go there today, four years later, the

soup is exactly the same: just as hot, just as

sour, just as nourishing--a pick-me-up, day

or night..

This hot & sour with a holiday twist

is a little different but equally delicious and

economical. This recipe offers a way to use

up every last bit of the sacrificial bird, and

the bones as well! Remaining ingredients .

are inexpensive and easy to find. Read on.

First step: ·

When the turkey dinner is over, don'tjust

wrap w~at's left and stuff it into your

didn't happen. It's on hold indefinitely. A

former user group with a long-standing.

gripe (Toronto Taoist Tai Chi) got a court

order to stop the AGM till their "application

for an injunction" against the Centre can be

call Julia Goldstein at 392-1090.

The battle against possible school

closings in the area (Kensington )

The situation is a lot muddier than last

month. "The premier's announcement that

no scl;lools will close has halted almost all

publicity" says Kensington Community

School principal Lisa McNair, "and it looks

like all our schools will stay open next year

(Sept '99). So it's good news in the short

term. But as far as we know, virtually

nothing has changed to take pressure off the

school board. There is still no indication

that the funding formula will recognize

daycare centres and community programs as

vital to inner-city schools. We are still

looking at around a million and a half

square feet of unfunded space in our Board.

We have not heard the last of this debate."

SLUG sets an example

Many thanks to the DRUM for its coverage

of waste management issues in the

Market. We need to get the word out and

increase awareness o(the possibilities and

opportunities to improve the Kensington

environment. The Waste Management

Task Group is not just about waste reduction

and resource recovery. We also seek to

beautify our community, create local

employment, and provide a space for

gardening so people can grow some of

their own food.

It can be done. San Francisco's

League of Urban Gardeners (SLUG) is a

fine example of what a group of empowered

citizens can accomplish when they

put their minds to it. They have pioneered

ideas such as rooftop gardening, urban

beekeeping, and the successful marketing

of homemade products (e. g. herbed oils

and vinegars and herbal medicines).

So if you have any ideas or just

want to know what this group is up to,

drop in on one of·our meetings (currently

fridavs. 9:30 am at 276 Augusta Avenue.

downstairs). For information contact Barb

Matthews at 364-6955 or Dawn Eagle at 955-

9611.

Scadding Court_ Community Centre is

doing on Dundas West.

A block and a bit west of Scadding Court

itself, the cafe is a regular store--but a store

with a difference, offering cafe-style food, plus

free intemet access, cheap photocopying and

faxing, meeting space, reading material, and

display of community goods for sale on consignment.

Best of all, Scadding workers Frank Pimentel

and Cynthia Budgell say, it's a foothold in the ·

business community--a spot from which

Scadding Court can play a role in helping the

local business community organize itself.

The Cafe is open daytime, Monday to Saturday,

with plans for evening social use as well.

Check it out. Phone number, 392-0702.

Happy Holidays,

Kensington Market*

BYALMA PENN

It was around 330 A.D. that

the synod of Rome (or someone)

decreed that, henceforth,

the date for Christmas was set

at December 25. But guess

what? At the time, this was

thought to be the solstice! the

longest night of the year.

I don't think that's a coincidence.

What better day to

celebrate the coming of the

"Light of the World"? And

Christianity is in good company

here. Chanukkah, Diwali,

Kwanzaa--Jewish, Hindu and

African-American traditions,

all celebrating light in darkness--all

happen at this time.

The powerful ritual importance

of the solstice is deeply '

woven in human life. Our 365

day calendar is as close as

reckoni,ng could make it -to the

earth's revolution round the

sun. Anci for cultures using a

lunar calendar (based on

phases of the moon) the

solstice provides a way, every

few years, of bringing the

shorter lunar year back in sync

with the seasons. The Chinese
