Iconic Ashbridge Estate willow felled by storm Emma Rooney planted the tree in 1919 Joanna Lavoie jlavoie@insidetoronto.com A windy rainstorm has claimed one of the east end’s more venerable landmarks: the Great Ashbridge Estate Willow.

Affectionately known as Emma’s willow, the beloved tree that once prominently adorned the front of the historic Ashbridge Estate at 1444 Queen St. E., just east of Greenwood Avenue, came crashing down last Thursday.

The Ashbridges are one of the founding families of Toronto (going back to when it was still called York).

Emma Rooney, wife of Jesse Ashbridge planted the tree back in 1919 near a now-buried stream that ran through the family’s 600-acre farm.

The Ashbridge family lived at their east-end property for 200 years until they donated the house and three remaining

acres of land to the Ontario Heritage Trust, a non-profit organization responsible for protecting, preserving, and promoting the built, natural, and cultural heritage of Ontario, in 1972.

Over the years, the great willow was almost cut down on several occasions but arborists managed to save it.

It even survived being lit on fire but in the end it was no match for last week’s strong windstorm.

“The majestic weeping willow on the Ashbridge Estate was a landmark tree and an important heritage specimen,” said Beth Hanna, Chief Executive Officer, Ontario Heritage Trust, in an email to The Beach Mirror.

“According to diaries, the willow was planted around 1919, making it nearly 100 years old - a significant lifespan for a willow.”

Hanna said her organiza-

tion has “worked diligently to maintain the tree and prolong its life, but unfortunately, time and weather have taken their toll.”

“It’s a sad and substantial loss for The Trust and for the community. Several years ago the Trust planted a new willow

as part of a plan to eventually replace the elder tree,” she said.

“Today, this ‘baby’ willow is a substantial tree and we hope that it will grow to become a new landmark for the community.”

Earlier this year, Building

Roots, an organization that works to create places to grow, cook, share and buy healthy food in all neighbourhoods and communities, entered into a partnership with Ontario Heritage Trust to bring community, food and urban gardening events and activities to the Ashbridge Estate.

Together, the two organizations intend to work together to do some kind of permanent art project to commemorate the landmark tree, said Darcy Higgins of Building Roots during a recent interview.

“We have had a lot of discussions about the willow. It was the centerpiece of the Estate,” he said.

“When it fell, we knew we wanted to do something to have a tribute to the tree and engage the community.”

Building Roots has taken two large pieces of the felled tree’s stump for a future art project, and community members are invited to share their ideas on the Building Roots’ Facebook page.

Like many, long-time area resident Robert Hoshowsky was saddened to learn the estate’s giant willow had come crashing down.

“I have memories of being there, playing with my late pooch, who used to love playing hide and seek around the tree,” he said.

Hoshowsky visited the Ashbridge Estate shortly after the tree was felled and snapped a few photos.

Robert Miller, another long-time local resident, has been active in a number of organizations at and around the Ashbridge Estate.

He’s also the creator of a blog and Facebook group about the Ashbridge site, has led Jane’s Walks in the Ashbridge’s neighbourhood, and researched the history for Duke of Connaught School’s 100th anniversary in 2012.

He said during Jane’s Walks, people always asked about the tree.

GIVE IT’S THE ULTIMATE BLOOD RENEWABLE RESOURCE

Meet Yvonne Ohara: she’s done it 800 times TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Yvonne Ohara is in the exclusive 800 club.

Recently, the Etobicoke woman became one of only a handful of Ontarians to donate blood an astounding 800 times.

“Blood is the ultimate renewable resource,” said Ohara, 68, who works for Toronto police. “You don’t know when you, a family member or a friend may need some blood.”

Every two weeks, Ohara heads to Canadian Blood Services (CBS) headquarters at 67 College St. to donate a bag of platelets, which she can donate 24 times a year.

Ohara began donating blood at age 21.

She said she was drawn to more specialized platelets and plasma donation after seeing other donors on different blood-drawing machines.

“The nice thing about plasma and platelet donation is you’re essentially matched with (a recipient),” Ohara said.

Platelets, a component required to make blood clot, is in need by people with diseases associated with prolonged bleeding, such as cancer and bone marrow therapy. Platelets have a shelf

Yvonne Ohara celebrates her 800th blood donation with Canadian Blood Services. Ohara has been donating for 47 years.

life of only five days.

Plasma donations help people with some bleeding disorders, liver diseases, and in some operations.

Blood donation is a family tradition for Ohara.

Ohara’s father, Charles Overton, began taking her at age four to his blood-donation appointments, including at

the former Hospital for Sick Children, which is now CBS headquarters where Ohara donates.

Overton donated 99 times until his age made him ineligible.

Michael Scharlemann, Ohara’s husband, has donated blood 78 times. He made a stem cell donation after being

notified he was a match on the national unrelated bone marrow registry.

“The trick is to get donors younger, in high school and in college,” Ohara said. “Make it a family tradition. Go with your parents or friends to a mobile clinic at the mall.”

Across Canada, CBS must collect 17,000 units of blood

every week. Since blood products have a limited shelf life, demand is constant.

“Roughly every minute, every day, someone in Canada needs blood,” CBS stated.

Blood and blood components are used to treat a number of injuries and illnesses, including various forms of cancer, hip and joint conditions, transplants, traumas, such as car accidents, blood disorders, and many others.

Across the country, less than four per cent of eligible Canadians donate blood, CBS reported.

One in 60 Canadians donate, despite the fact one in two is eligible.

Meanwhile, half of Canadians report they or a family member have required blood or blood components for surgery or medical treatment, CBS stated.

Type O negative blood is in highest demand. It can be used in emergency situations on anyone when there is no time to test a patient’s blood.

People with Type O negative blood are considered universal donors.

One person may donate whole blood up to six times a year, improving the lives of as many as 18 people, to CBS stated. The

entire process takes just over an hour.

The standard blood donation is approximately 450 millilitres, slightly less than half a litre or two cups. An average adult’s body contains about five litres of blood.

This year, CBS has revised its donation eligibility requirements.

Health Canada approved CBS’s request to reduce the blood-donation waiting period for men who have sex with men from five years to one year.

CBS tests blood donations for syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV-1 and 2, Human T-Cell lymphotropic virus HTLV-I and II and West Nile Virus.

CBS also revised its donation eligibility requirements to mitigate the risk, which it pegs at one in 8.3 million, of the Zika virus entering the Canadian blood system.

Anyone who has traveled outside of Canada, the continental United States and Europe is now ineligible to give blood for 21 days after their return.

The Zika virus lasts three to five days in the blood, and clears the body within 21 days, CBS stated.

Could we elect a Trump-like leader?

Here in Canada, the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency is a terrifying one.

The real-estate mogul and reality television star has been building support on a campaign of bigotry, misogyny and violence. While his campaign is still trailing that of former secretary of state, senator and first lady Hillary Clinton, the gap in polls is narrow and it is conceivable that Trump might prevail.

The leader of our closest neighbour, biggest trading partner and longtime ally might be a whitesupremacist-approved, lying, narcissistic tyrant.

The only comfort we might take in this distressing scenario: at least something like that could never happen here. Or could it?

Our parliamentary system of government treats executive power very differently the American bicameral Our VieW than system. In some ways a prime with a firm majority can It can happen minister exercise far more power than a in the U.S., so president whose party doesn’t also control both the House of why not here? Representatives and the Senate. A Trump-like prime minister could make profound and potentially damaging changes to our country, with few to none of the checks on the power of a like-minded president.

Our nomination process means it’s less likely that any party would choose such a polarizing figure as its leader, and in a federal election, voters aren’t faced with a simple choice between two candidates as happens in the U.S. But, it would be naive to think that Canadians are immune to the kind of xenophobic bigotry and nativism that has fuelled Trump’s rise.

At its core, Trump’s success depends on two things – people who are profoundly worried about their future and a society where systemic racism makes it easy to blame “the other” for its problems. We have both here.

In 2015, when Stephen Harper’s Conservatives banned women from wearing niqabs when taking citizenship oaths, vowed to revoke citizenship to dual citizens convicted of terrorism and floated the idea of a snitch line for “barbaric cultural practices,” the party had strong support.

Now, Conservative leadership candidate Kellie Leitch is promoting a plan to screen out immigrants who hold “anti-Canadian values.”

Does that mean that Canadians are ready to consider handing a Donald Trump the key to 24 Sussex Dr.? We like to think not. But we’d like to think the same of our friends south of the border.

Is Toronto Hydro Mayor Tory’s next gold mine?

There has to be gold in here somewhere.

That sentiment, or a variation of it, has been a mantra for political leaders and would-be leaders since amalgamation.

Former premier Mike Harris and his municipal affairs minister Al Leach were the first to see the mythical El Dorado in the 416 area code when they amalgamated the city from seven municipal governments into one. Surely, pulling all those bureaucracies together into one would save hundreds of millions of dollars.

When that didn’t pan out, provincial scolds like former Scarborough Tory MP Steve Gilchrist helpfully suggested that amalgamated Toronto might sell off Metro Hall.

But that never made sense in the end, as the former seat of Metro government housed a sizeable part of the city’s bureaucracy.

Privatize garbage collection city-wide? Maybe one day it’ll save the cash-

david nickle the city strapped city millions, but Toronto had to break free of job protection language in collective agreements to even consider the idea. Now that’s happened, maybe contracting-out advocates will make one more attempt, and may pull it off.

It’s hard to say whether Mayor John Tory will succeed at one of the most often-sought gold mines in the Toronto portfolio: that being Toronto Hydro, the electricity distribution company wholly owned by the City of Toronto.

Certainly, many before him have tried and failed.

Mel Lastman mused about selling it off. Jane Pitfield, running to unseat David Miller in 2006, gave it a go on the hustings, as did Karen Stintz in 2010 – and in neither case were they able to get near a mandate to do so.

Tory has been ruminating about a Hydro sale for months at least – or a species of Hydro sale, perhaps similar to the notion that Karen Stintz floated in 2010.

Stintz argued that selling off about half of the city’s interest in the company would raise enough money to pay for the downtown relief subway line. She also suggested that leasing the company could work, if it weren’t possible to avoid the provincial taxes placed on the sale of more than 10 per cent of the asset.

Either of these options might work well for Mayor Tory’s purposes. He, too, needs to finance a downtown relief line, and could also use some coin to build his scaled-back SmartTrack plan.

A couple of weeks ago now, Tory turned his attention very publicly to the nuts-and-bolts workings of Toronto Hydro, in particular dealing with the multiple outages in highrise downtown Toronto condomin-

ium towers like CityPlace.

The culprit, Tory noted first in a news release and then in front of reporters at the Toronto Board of Trade, was aging infrastructure serving growing areas.

And he made it very clear that he not only wanted to get some power flowing from the utility, but also some cash, which he said should not be at the cost of public accountability.

This is going to be a delicate balance. It’s hard to imagine very much money coming out of a partial sale of a power grid already in dire need of upgrade and repair – particularly one that will offset the loss of part of the annual dividend Toronto gets, amounting to approximately $60 million.

But it looks as though in the short term at least, we’re going to dip our pan into that river one more time.

‘Large animal’ attacks family pet cat in the Beach JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Torontonians are once again reminded to not feed wild animals after a second family pet was likely attacked by a coyote in the eastern Beach this past weekend.

Couscous, an eight-yearold domestic long-haired cat that belongs to area resident Dawna Wightman and her family, is currently at the Beaches Animal Hospital after being bitten and shaken by what the local pet hospital told her was an attack by a “large animal.”

The cat, which is on heavy pain medication, has lost the use of its hind legs and may not survive.

An indoor cat, Couscous ran outside when Wightman ran to grab a phone call and accidentally left a door open. The incident happened around noon on Sunday, Oct. 2.

“I’ll regret it all my life. I feel really bad,” a tearful Wightman told The Mirror early Tuesday afternoon.

“I’m normally so vigilant about keeping the doors closed. It happened in a matter of minutes. I don’t understand what is going on.

It was noon.”

Wightman, who has lived near Queen Street East and Victoria Park Avenue for eight years, lives near Drew and Heather Abbott whose Yorkshire terrier, Dave, was snatched by a coyote on Tuesday, Sept. 27 and hasn’t been seen since. The family’s other Yorkie, Mia, was also bitten during the attack.

“We’re all dealing with the coyotes right now. There are four of them,” she said.

“Someone’s feeding them.

We don’t have a coyote problem. We have a people problem.”

Wightman, whose dog was also attacked by a coyote about five years ago, said the coyotes that live in the ravine near her home have lost their fear of humans. She wants to see them relocated before more family pets or even children are harmed.

A ‘large animal’ attacked Couscous, the cat, on Oct. 2 afternoon in the eastern Beach area of Toronto. The feline is being treated for its injuries at the Beaches Animal Hospital.

“It’s a matter of time before they’re going to attack a human. It’s too late for my cat but I don’t want this to happen to children,” said Wightman, who has reported the incident to Toronto Animal Services (TAS), Toronto Public Health, and the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Elizabeth Glibbery, manager of Toronto Animal Services, confirmed they received a report on Sunday from a resident whose cat had been attacked that same day.

She urged Torontonians who live near ravines and forests, which are typical coyote habitat, to be especially vigi-

lant with their pets.

Recently, TAS has handdelivered coyote awareness information to coyote-prone neighbourhoods across the city. A couple of weeks ago, 140 information packages were distributed to residents in the area of Neville Park to educate them about coyotes and what to do to avoid conflicts.

“The City has a coyote response strategy that it follows when dealing with coyotes that includes education, no-feeding provisions, removal criteria and methods.

Conditions for removal do not include an attack or bite on another animal, as this is normal coyote behaviour,” Glibbery wrote in an email to The Mirror.

Toronto Animal Services will only remove a coyote when it is injured, sick or debilitated; when a coyote has attacked and/or bitten a human; and when a coyote is exhibiting behaviour that is considered to be a threat to public safety.

“In this instance the coyote

reportedly resides in the Neville Park area which is 90 per cent private property. If the coyote met the conditions listed above the City can hire a trapper. However 90 per cent of the lands in the Neville Park area are privately owned, and therefore the residents would need to grant permission for the city to place traps on their private lands,” she explained.

“There is public space in this area as well as land that is owned by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. However the TRCA has been clear in the past that they will not permit trapping on their lands.”

Further, Glibbery noted that “in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, the recovered coyote upon receiving medical treatment will be located back into the area from which it was captured.”

She also advised anyone who perceives a coyote to be a threat to public safety to immediately call 911.

Oleksiak wins prestigious Swimming Canada award Swimming Canada, the national governing body of swimming in Canada, has named 16-year-old Beach resident Penny Oleksiak as its Female Swimmer of the Year.

Oleksiak, a Grade 11 student at Monarch Park Collegiate, is Canada’s most decorated summer Olympian in a single Olympics. She’s also the country’s youngest ever medal winner. Oleksiak won four medals at the Rio Olympics: gold in 100m freestyle, silver in 100m butterfly, and bronze in both the 4X100m freestyle relay and the 4X200m freestyle relay.

For the second year, the Female Swimmer of the Year is the youngest member of the national team. Last year’s honour went to Emily Overholt, 18, of West Vancouver, B.C. Ben Titley, Oleksiak’s coach, was also recognized for

Union upset over TTC’s one-person Little Free Library fundraiser in Beach subway system launching next week It appears the TTC is going to have a fight on its hands as it begins to phase out subway guards from service.

The guards are responsible for safely opening and closing doors on the train. Transit agencies the world over have switched to a one-person system, and now the TTC is following suit as of next week on the Sheppard line.

The TTC’s main labour union ATU Local 113 isn’t taking the move lying down: it had a hand in encouraging TTC personnel to turn down voluntary late night subway shifts during Nuit Blanche, presumably to protest the new one-person system according to media reports, and is promising further actions in the future.

TO EXPLORE RIDE HAILING SERVICES wTTC

The TTC will explore using taxi cabs and ride hailing services like UberX to supplement service along certain routes.

The transit commission’s

rahul gupta TO in TRANsIT board expressed caution, but ultimately voted unanimously to explore if the scheme will make sense for the TTC, as it has for other cities.

The TTC already contracts taxi companies to provide additional Wheel-Trans service, but it’s unknown what the face of future “micro transit” could look like. TTC staff will now research the matter to see if the scheme will work for the transit commission.

OF EGLINTON BUS BARN UNDER WAY wDEMO

It was probably more suited for filming post-apocalyptic zombie movies in its later years, but the Eglinton bus barn in its heyday was a crucial transit hub.

Demolition of the old barn began in late September at the Yonge-Eglinton intersection. Dating back to 1922, the

garage housed buses and, according to Transit Toronto, was the city’s first streetcar storage facility. It closed for good in 2004, with calls from community advocates to convert all or part of the land into a public square.

BAY-RICHMOND Is CLOSED THIS WEEKEND The busy Bay-Richmond intersection will close Oct. 6 to 11 for road and streetcar track work. Construction will take place 24 hours a day, although the city is promising to suspend noisy and disruptive work by 11 p.m. nightly.

Cyclists and pedestrians will still be permitted to access the intersection.

Another closure is planned over the weekend on Bay Street, between King and Adelaide streets, for a crane hoisting.

Community members are invited to attend a fundraiser to replace a vandalized Little Free Library in the Beach this Saturday.

Hosted by the Toronto Beaches Dog Association, the event, which will include raffles, prizes, music by DJ Ken Simpson, and food and drinks, will begin at 7 p.m. at St. Louis Bar and Grill, 1963 Queen St. E. The vandalized Little Free Library is at the Kew Beach

Dog Park. In June 2014, Beach resident Katherine Reid installed the library in honour of her late grandmother and her dog, Baker. The Toronto Beaches Dog Association maintains it, while Reid and her friend Heidi Leigh run it.

Vandals destroyed the Little Free Library in August.

Organizers hope to raise enough money to buy and install a new one. Email beachesdog@gmail.com for more information.

Big city mayors, including Tory, call for more federal involvement at housing summit When it comes to people being squeezed out of the housing market, Toronto is not alone.

Toronto Mayor John Tory was joined by mayors from six other major cities across Canada at Daniels Spectrum in Regent Park on Friday to speak of the urgent need for a national housing strategy as well as funding for housing from the federal government.

The mayors’ request - $12.6 billion in federal dollars specifically for public housing over the next 10 years - came as wait lists and repair backlogs plague Toronto Community Housing and other housing agencies across the country.

“We’ve put up almost a billion dollars here of city property taxpayers’ money to repair social housing, but it can’t be borne by the property taxpayers alone,” Tory said.

“We need the partnerships of the other governments (to bridge the funding gap).

Vancouver Mayor Gregor

Do people sound like they’re mumbling?

Do you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves?

Justin Skinner/Metroland

Mayor John Tory speaks of the importance of a long-term national housing strategy alongside mayors from several other major cities at the Toronto Housing Summit.

Robertson called the housing issue “a humanitarian crisis” and noted his city is looking at an “empty homes tax” to ensure housing is used for its intended purpose and not left vacant as an investment.

Fe d e ra l Mi n i s t e r f o r Families, Children and Social Development JeanYves Duclos acknowledged that there is a problem when it comes to housing afford-

ability and said the Trudeau government is committed to creating a National Housing Strategy.

“We have invested a historic amount of $2.3 billion over the next two years as a first start to address the most pressing housing needs of our families, and we have signalled that to be a good partner, we have to build a housing strategy,” he said.
