Axe-throwing league wields wide interest Backyard Axe-Throwing League’s first location opened in Bloor West LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Throwing an axe is much harder than it might look – take it from this reporter, who made a first attempt with coaching from the founder of the Backyard Axe Throwing League (BATL), whose skill makes it appear effortless.

On a Thursday morning in early August, Matt Wilson opened the BATL’s home base on Sterling Road, near Bloor Street West, providing a glimpse into the ever-growing world of this intriguing sport.

Wilson’s interest in the art of axe throwing was piqued several years

ago during an October weekend at a cottage when, because of lousy weather, there weren’t the typical cottage activities to partake in.

“One of the guys picked up a hatchet,” recalled Wilson, describing the friend as “an Armenian giant,” who then threw it at a tree.

A new passion was born after that cottage trip.

Wilson and his buddies started an unofficial league with two targets in his backyard that nine years later has grown to include six axe-throwing locations, including Sterling Road, Cherry Street, and Yorkdale Mall >>>FOUNDER, page 15

Bats trapped, tagged and released in High Park study Long after the sun goes down and most of us are fast asleep, Dr. Krista Patriquin and University of Toronto PhD

student Cylita Guy are combing the wilds of High Park in search of bats.

Unless it’s raining, the two

spend their nights, from about 6 p.m. to 4 a.m., catching the mammals, whose webbed wings make them the only ones

naturally capable of sustained flight.

Their goal? To better understand the creatures’ behav-

iour and habitat needs in an effort to better protect them.

A 52-year-old woman is charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of her older sister, who was visiting Toronto from Vietnam.

Police said the victim was stabbed multiple times in the kitchen of her sister’s home, at 463 Old Weston Rd. (north of St. Clair Avenue), at about 1 p.m. Friday.

“The accused in fact was the first 911 caller,” Det. Murray Barnes said.

The accused then went outside and flagged down a man who was walking by.

“Once he realized what was going on, he went inside, and what he saw caused him to call 911,” Barnes said in an interview. “He was the second 911 caller. He’s not a witness to the murder, but he walked in very shortly after.”

The victim, stabbed in the upper torso, was rushed to St. Michael’s Hospital where she later died.

The accused was arrested at the scene for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.

“Once the victim died, she (accused) was advised that she will be charged with second-degree murder,” Barnes said.

The victim, a Vietnamese citizen, was visiting her sister in Toronto.

Their parents and other relatives in Vietnam were notified of the death on Monday and are making arrangements to come to Toronto.

Barnes, of the homicide squad,

said police have seized a number of items, including the knife used in the murder.

“We’re in the process of going through all the background and piecing together the circumstances not only in the hours that led up to the death but in the months prior,” he said.

“We’ve got a very good picture so far of the dynamics. People now are starting to call in who know both of the sisters and that family.”

When asked if mental health issues were involved in the homicide, Barnes said the victim’s and the accused’s medical history are being looked at.

“That’s the area we’re focussing on right now.”

Police allege the victim and the accused were alone in the home at the time of the murder.

“The accused has a 25-year-old daughter who was living in that address as well, but she was not there at the time,” Barnes said.

“Unfortunately, her mother is now in jail and her aunt is deceased.”

This is the city’s 31st murder of the year.

Help the Stop reach its fundraising goal to support drop-in program The Stop Community Food Centre has just a short time left to raise funds for its drop-in program.

Last year, the drop-in served more than 53,000 nutritious meals and connected people to resources like housing, employment, and shelter.

This year, the drop-in is facing a significant funding shortfall. Thanks

to donations from members of the community, the Stop has already raised almost $90,000.

The Stop still needs help reaching its $100,000 goal which will help it operate the program four days a week.

Pay attention to federal campaign

Write us

A

federal election. Oh yes, almost forgot, didn’t you?

It was an unusual (some would say cynical) move by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to drop the writ in the middle of the August long weekend – effectively extending the official campaign up to the Oct. 19 voting day by another few weeks.

It’s understandably challenging, with weeks left in summer, for voters to begin pondering their choices.

Moreso, even with a number of candidates already declared, the official cut-off date for nominations doesn’t arrive until late September.

But here we are. For better or worse, the campaign is on.

And for Toronto, in the midst of the typical rhetoric, mud-slinging and sloganeering that comes with any election campaign, residents must take a hard look at what the candidates and their parties vow to do for this city. Twenty-five of the our view 338 members of Parliament will be coming from Toronto. That’s a percentage – regardSpeak loudly significant less of party affiliation of its memon Toronto’s bers, Toronto’s representatives need to be vocal about the city’s priorities needs.

So for residents, it’s worth paying attention to the campaign. For candidates, it’s worth crafting thoughtful, evidence-based platforms to address ongoing challenges the city faces. Hint: Transit comes to mind.

This election will see a number of changes.

Particularly downtown and in the north and eastern parts of the city, there are a number of boundary changes.

This is brought about in part by the creation of new ridings including Don Valley North in North York, and Scarborough-Rouge Park and Scarborough North in Scarborough; Trinity-Spadina, downtown, has been replaced with University-Rosedale and Spadina-Fort York.

Once a Liberal bastion federally, the city in 2011 saw a healthy mix of Liberal, NDP and Conservative candidates elected. It will be interesting to see if that trend continues.

According to statistics from Elections Canada, the voter turnout in 2011 was 61.1 per cent, up from the historic low of 58.8 per cent in 2008, but still one of the lower voter turnouts in Canadian federal election history. That number needs to be higher.

It may be the dog days of summer. There may be other things on your mind. Just remember that this is already ongoing.

guest column

OK...Blue Jays...let’s – talk – noise!

W

hen long-time Blue Jays radio announcer Jerry Howarth is calling a game, the moment the Jays start putting runs up on the board he gleefully exudes: “The Blue Jays are in flight.”

Well, if he were commenting on the reaction of Jays fans to seeing the explosive firepower of the American League’s highest scoring team, “in flight” doesn’t go far enough. “In orbit” is more like it.

And it’s not just runs that are igniting fan response lift off. Great plays in the field do it, too. So do stolen bases, strikeouts of an opposing batter, bullpen saves, walks, balks, you name it. Heck, fans are even going gaga over simple player introductions.

Take the ones for fivetime all-stars, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and pitching ace David Price, who were recently acquired within 48 hours of each other just prior to the trade deadline. When

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY they simply made their first appearance at the plate and on the mound respectively, the Rogers Centre crowd erupted. My how times have changed, eh? Back in August 1992, prior to the Jays’ first World Series title, Dave Winfield made an impassioned plea to the oftdescribed reserved – as in audibly restrained – fan base to make noise. The 2015 version now screams at the drop of a hat. Or bat. Likely a rosin bag, too, the way things are going.

The players are impressed and humbly appreciative.

Price said it’s the best crowd he’s ever experienced.

Reliever Mark Lowe, who just came over from the Seattle Mariners, knows first-hand that when the Jays play in Seattle, Jays fans outscream the locals.

While the decibel level

around here has been higher since the trade deadline acquisitions that also included left-fielder Ben Revere and reliever LaTroy Hawkins, the crowd has been rocking since the preseason began.

Off-season pickup catcher Russell Martin was the recipient of several standing ovations in Montreal during a two-game exhibition series with the Cincinnati Reds.

The other big name off-season addition, third baseman Josh Donaldson, for whom the crowd now chants “M-VP”, has repeatedly brought the audience to its feet since opening day.

The dazzling highlightreel catches by centre fielder Kevin Pillar have inspired the same mania, as have the slick defensive gems by second baseman Ryan Goins. The timely slugging of Chris Colabello and Justin Smoak has also not gone unnoticed. Nor has the inning-eating dependability of hurlers Mark Buehrle, R.A.

Dickey and Marco Estrada.

The youthful relieving tandem of 23-year-old set-up man Aaron Sanchez and 20-year-old closer Roberto Osuna are also making hearts and vocal chords go pit-a-pat.

When you add stalwarts Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion into the mix, it’s apparent there is something special going on.

And this fandemonium is all just for the regular season.

Imagine what the joint will sound like if they make it to the World Series.

So, Dave Winfield, if you’re reading this and you’re coming to the Rogers Centre for the sold-out series with the Yankees this weekend, a word of warning. I wouldn’t bring my noise meter along, unless you’ve got a really good device insurance plan.

Residents encouraged to report bats living on property for study >>>from page 1 the neighbourhood’s input for their project. If you live in the vicinity of High Park and suspect you may have bats in your attic or eavestrough, the University of Toronto affiliates would like to hear from you.

“The important thing for people is, not to panic,” Patriquin told The Villager during a recent conversation at a coffee shop, near the edge of the park. “Look at it like free pest control. They can eat a lot of bugs in one night – up to their own body weight.”

Bats are hard to see. That’s why in order to catch them, Patriquin and Guy are using what’s called mist nets, typically made of nylon or polyester

mesh suspended between two poles. Patriquin likens the net to fishnet stockings.

“There’s lots of squawking,” said Guy of when the bats are caught. “We figure out what sex they are. If female, have they had a baby recently, are they feeding it?”

They extract DNA and microchip them with radio transmitters to find out where they’re sleeping and where they feed. Patriquin has been studying bats for more than 15 years. For Guy, this summer is her first foray into the study of bats.

“I think they’re interesting,” she said.

Considering the creatures are oftentimes misunderstood,

mately 1,200 species of bats around the world, only three of those feed on blood – and they don’t like human blood. Plus, these three species do not live in Canada, Patriquin said.

Bats are “nosy” creatures.

“When we’re out putting up our nets, listening for them, you can see them divert their path if they notice our net and come in close and check things out,” she said.

Urban bats in particular haven’t been explored extensively in Canada.

“We want to find out how they are making use of the green space available,” she said.

Bats are like humans in that they are social creatures that

in part because there are myths surrounding them, “they do a lot for us,” Patriquin said.

They can take credit for saving $23 billion in the reduction of pesticides and

loss of crops in the U.S. There’s no estimates yet for Canada, Patriquin said.

have social circles. Much of Patriquin and Guy’s research compares the social networks of bats living in buildings versus those living in trees. The bats living in trees don’t stay in the same tree – they’re changing every few days. In buildings, they’re staying put. The bats’ mission is to find a spot with the most suitable temperature, Patriquin said.

Big on Bloor back with summer street celebration Festival’s eighth year includes more art projects, interactive activities LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com

Declared one of the city’s Top 20 festivals, Big on Bloor is billed as a two-day, car-free summer street celebration of arts, culture and small business.

As many as 80,000 people attend the festival, which takes place in Bloordale Village, along Bloor Street West between Dufferin Street and Lansdowne Avenue.

“It’s wonderful, you go down there on the Saturday afternoon, which is probably the busiest and Bloor Street is side-to-side people. It’s full, but not uncomfortably so,”

The latest instalment of the Big on Bloor Festival promises to be bigger, better and much more fun, according to its director Dougal Bichan, perhaps a little tongue in cheek.

“And, it’s not going to rain,” he quipped to The Villager.

While the eighth year won’t be drastically different than last, the festival boasts more art projects and interactive activities, Bichan pointed out.

Bichan said.

This year, the event takes place Saturday, Aug. 22 from 1 to 10 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 23 from noon to 6 p.m.

Festival founder, Dyan Marie, is designing new street banners for the event that’s divided into two sections, ‘Joy’ and ‘Jouez’ meaning play in French. Joy includes such activities and projects as a “Traffic Tapestry.”

Participants can help create large-scale paintings using stamps of car, bike parts and shoes; Share Bloordale – festival-goers are encouraged

to colour a ‘Walk, Ride and Drive’ safety backpack and it is theirs to keep for free; and a “Zoossemobile,” which is a music-orchestra-bicycle-joymachine and play station for participants to create music with.

Meanwhile, Jouez, includes a cameraless workshop – suitable for the entire family (ages four and up).

Materials like film, markers, projector and artists are provided while festival-goers are invited to create under giant tents their own unique drawings and film loops.

The Bay GO passenger concourse at Union Station is set to close this weekend for an extended amount of time so Metrolinx can complete extensive renovations.

It will take two years before the work is done, yet another major project for riders to traverse through at Union, but Metrolinx is promising the finished product will offer more space plus connections to GO train platforms and direct access to Union’s new retail concourse level, which is expected open next year.

The Bay concourse will close starting Sunday. of fatal train crash wanniversary

Tuesday marked a grim anniversary for the TTC when 20 years ago to the day a subway train derailed killing three passengers and injuring dozens more.

The accident resulted when a subway train operated by a rookie driver did not heed signals to stop and slammed into the back of another train near Dupont Station. 匀愀瘀攀

The accident resulted in multiple recommendations from Ontario’s coroner on improving TTC safety.

The TTC is currently overhauling its entire signalling system on the YongeUniversity-Spadina line to allow for automatic train operation.

ART PROJECT SCREECHES TO A HALT wTRANSIT

Art in Transit is no more.

The program showcased visual and multimedia artistic contributions from artists around the world, turning staid TTC subway station platforms into impromptu galleries. But the TTC’s advertising partner Pattison Onestop announced it’s putting Art

in Transit on hiatus after nine years of exhibitions.

The Toronto Urban Film Festival (TUFF) also organized

by Pattison, will return for its ninth year in September.

PAN AM PATH ART RELAY SATURDAY wFINAL

The Parapan Am Games are winding down, and with it the Pan Am Path Art Relay.

The initiative allowed for art lovers to cycle or walk to cultural happenings taking place along the multi-use path that opened before the Pan Am Games, linking 84 kilometres of trails in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.

The final Art Relay event – titled Maadaadizi which means to begin a journey in Ojibwe – will highlight First Nations art and will take place Saturday starting at Rouge Beach in Scarborough.

High Park townhomes to be torn down for 25-storey highrises

“

LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com

This development is going to destroy the many attributes that make this neighbourhood so livable.

The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) recently decided to allow the demolition of two blocks of townhouses to make room for two 25-storey residential towers in the Quebec Avenue and Bloor Street West area. To say that decision disappoints the High Park Coalition is a gross understatement.

Following more than 11 months of deliberation, the OMB rendered its decision late last month in favour of the developer, High Park Bayview Inc., which intends to construct a 500-plus condominium unit complex, coined the Grenadier Square, at 51-77 Quebec Ave. and 40-66 High Park Ave. “We knew it was always 5 0 / 5 0 a t b e s t ,” M a r c Senderowitz, an executive member of the High Park Coalition, told The Villager.

“We’re all very disappointed.

– Marc Senderowitz, High Park Coalition

(Toronto’s) Official Plan says growth should occur on avenues, such as Bloor Street West. It doesn’t stipulate that growth should take place here.

We thought the OMB would be sensitive and receptive to the ideas we proposed.”

The coalition, a resident group dedicated to fighting over-development in the High Park neighbourhood, with help from local residents, raised $60,000 to hire a lawyer and planner to fight the proposal at the OMB. Area residents and participants filled the room during the hearing that took place last Sept. 8 to 13.

The goal was to show the OMB that the community does not stand behind the proposed development.

“The board refused to recognize any of our arguments,” Senderowitz said. “There’s not a lot we can do on the matter.

Our lawyer doesn’t feel there’s reasonable grounds to appeal.

This development is going to destroy the many attributes that make this neighbourhood so livable.”

After considering all the evidence from both the developer and the coalition, the OMB stated that the property is “an appropriate site for the proposed development.”

“A c c o r d i n g t o t h e Appellant’s evidence, the proposal complies with all the policies in the Official Plan and appropriately addresses the city’s Tall Buildings Guidelines,” the OMB stated.
