Etobicoke York Community Council voted unanimously last week in favour of protecting the home of late Toronto Maple Leafs founder Conn Smythe with a heritage designation.

The home, located at 68 Baby Point Rd. in Ward 13, was commissioned by the Hockey Hall of Famer in 1926 and designed

by Toronto architect George Roper Gouinlock.

Smythe – who co-owned the Leafs, coached Canada’s goldmedal Olympic team in 1928, and initiated the building of Maple Leaf Gardens and the original Hockey Hall of Fame on the grounds of Exhibition Place – lived in the Arts and Crafts/ Tudor Revival style manor until his death in 1980.

The vote in favour of heritage designation by west-end councillors at the Sept. 7 session of Etobicoke York Community Council (EYCC) came on the heels of the property’s sale to new owners just last month.

Sylvain Rouleau, a lawyer with WeirFoulds LLP hired by those new owners, appeared before EYCC on Wednesday to request councillors defer until December their decision as to whether or not to move forward with designation of

the property under the Ontario Heritage Act. His clients, he said, were not informed that the property was being considered for heritage designation until late August – a full two weeks after they closed on the $2.7-million sale.

“They took possession on Aug. 15 and it was only on Aug. 30 that the former homeowners forwarded them a letter... that indicated that the Toronto Preservation Board was considering the intention to designate the property,” Rouleau said, noting his unnamed clients intended to oppose that designation.

“That was the first time my clients found out it was being considered for designation, which, obviously, is something they were not able to factor into their decision to purchase the home.”

That argument, however, didn’t hold much weight with west-end councillors, many of whom expressed doubt Rouleau’s clients entered into the sale without knowing who the home once belonged to and its historical significance as such.

“I don’t know who their real estate agent was, but I find it very hard to believe that they did not know this was Conn >>>new, page 17

High Park author discusses new novel ‘Stone Woman’ LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com High Park resident and author Bianca Lakoseljac recently released her latest novel, Stone Woman, the story of a family of five women whose lives are linked to a Vietnam War draft dodger who is immersed in the hippie culture of Yorkville in the 1960s.

The Villager spoke with Lakoseljac about her latest work and writing career.

Q: Where did the inspiration come from for this story?

A: The inspiration for Stone Woman stems primarily from two Toronto artistic achievements. One is the sculptures created during the 1967 Art Symposium in High Park as part of Canada’s Centennial, which became the first outdoor sculpture exhibit, seen as a type of an outdoor gallery.

The second is Frances Gage’s Woman, a white Carrara marble sculpture commissioned by Women’s College Hospital and completed in 1971.

QA

anti-Vietnam-war movement; Allen Ginsberg and his suggestion to arm the protestors with loads of flowers to hand to the police and the public as a way of diffusing conflict and promoting peace – thus coining the term, ‘flower-power’; Yorkville – the hub for the hippie movement not only in Toronto but nationwide; the influx of American draft dodgers and military deserters to Canada.

&

with Bianca Lakoseljac

The period, 1960s and early 1970s, stands out as a pivotal time in Toronto history, as well as a turning point in art and architecture. Yorkville, which for about a decade was home to countless artists and musicians, became known as a “hippie haven.”

Teenagers from all over Canada and even the States flocked to Yorkville which had become a hub for sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.

Q: Did you make a point of setting the story in Toronto, particularly in your own neighbourhood?

A: On my many walks through the park, I found myself drawn to Sculpture Hill. I used to stroll my children there, wandering among the

pieces – The Hippy, Flower Power, No Shoes, Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Temple – I could daydream, contemplate the symbolism.

One interesting aspect is that the sculptures were inspired by the setting itself. I imagined how William Koochin came up with The Hippy idea. How Mark di Suvero first envisaged Flower Power. I did not have to look far. This was 1967; the

A: Yes. I am strongly opposed to violence of any kind, and at the risk of sounding naïve, convinced that peace could be achieved without guns. The horrors of the Vietnam War had a particularly brutal side to it – the use of chemical weapons.

Q: How long have you lived in the High Park area?

A: On and off, for many years. For a few years in the 1970s, and again since 1999. Now I divide my time between Toronto’s High Park area and Woodland Beach on Georgian Bay. I took my children to the zoo, the

playground, long walks through the fragrant pathways lined with butterfly bushes, peonies, jasmine, and lilac.

Q: Have you always loved to write?

A:Yes, my whole life. I was an early reader and on Sundays, my grandma used to take me to visit her elderly friends and read newspapers to them.

I used to write my own little stories and sew them up into booklets and offer to read them.

When I discovered Margaret Atwood’s first poetry book, Double Persephone, which she had produced herself, I fell in love with Atwood and decided not to give up on writing.

In Stone Woman, my protagonist Blossom finds courage in Atwood’s poems and in the memory of her mother reading them to her. Later, as a working mom, I wrote some stories, beginnings of novels, poems – and stashed them into a drawer.

Only after I put teaching aside and my children got older, did I have a manuscript published. Now, I am a full-time writer. It’s a dream come true.

BREATHE EASY

W

hat do you do when a solid eight hours of sleep still leaves you feeling exhausted and listless in the morning?

For millions of Canadians suffering from sleep apnea, that’s a daily occurrence, and while sleep apnea itself may not be deadly, its side effects can be severe, particularly when they add up over weeks, months or years.

Sleep apnea is an obstruction of the trachea during sleep, which stops breathing and causes fits of wakefulness.

In serious cases, people can be jolted awake more than 60 times an hour, and while the body returns to sleep quickly, the condition prevents deep sleep.

“Your sleep becomes mincemeat,” said Dr. T. Douglas Bradley, director of the University Health Network Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and Toronto General Hospital Sleep Research Labs.

“It’s like sticking a cork down your throat, so you struggle to breathe because your airway’s obstructed and you can’t get any air in your lungs.

That goes on for a minimum of 10 seconds and can last up to a minute and a half. Eventually the asphyxia wakes you up and when that happens, there’s a sudden increase in the tone of the muscles in the throat, so the throat opens, usually with a loud snore.”

Sleep apnea affects some 10 per cent of the population in North America, with men three times more

Dan Pearce/MetrolanD

The continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is the best treatment for people with sleep apnea.

People can test at home to see if they have sleep apnea likely to suffer from the condition. Age is a factor – the average sleep apnea patient is 45 years old – and obesity and inactivity are strong contributing factors.

Bradley noted that sleep apnea is disruptive not only to the sufferer, but to their partners as well, as those suffering from the condition snore loudly throughout the night. The effects on the sufferer, however, can be debilitating.

“You feel like you’ve been hit by a 10-ton truck when you get up in the morning, often with headaches, feeling like you’d like to go back to bed again,” he said.

The ensuing sleepiness throughout the day can lead to a three to fourfold increase in the incidence of getting involved in motor vehicle accidents and

industrial accidents.

Beyond that, sufferers tend to toss and turn throughout the night and can suffer a loss of shortterm memory and libido.

There are also potential

long-term cardiovascular health effects, with sleep apnea sufferers seeing a two to fourfold increase in the incidence of high blood pressure, stroke and heart failure.

“When you fall asleep, your cardiovascular system relaxes just like the muscles in the rest of the body, so your blood pressure goes down, your heart rate goes down, oxygen consump-

tion by the heart goes down because the heart’s resting,” Bradley said.

“If you keep waking somebody up, you get surges of sympathetic (nervous system) activity that raise the heart rate, raise the blood pressure and increase the pumping activity of the heart at a time when it should be resting.”

Potential cures for sleep apnea are varied, depending on the severity of the case. Bradley noted that prevention is the greatest cure – by maintaining a healthy body weight and keeping active, the risk of developing the condition is greatly reduced.

Other simple solutions include sleeping on your side or having your tonsils removed if they are particularly large, though these only serve to help some patients. For many, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks are the best treatment.

Worn overnight, the face masks blow air through the nose and into the back of the throat to keep the airway open. “This controls sleep apnea, but it doesn’t cure it,” Bradley said.

Securing an appointment in a sleep clinic to get diagnosed can be difficult.

To help with the backlog, Bradley worked with a group of partners to form BresoTec, a company that has developed a home testing kit. A face mask – the BresoDX – captures sleep sounds in the patient’s home through a microphone and patients can mail in a chip containing the recording for analysis.

Sleep apnea takes toll on people’s lives

A

good night’s sleep – it’s something many of us take for granted.

But for millions of Canadians who suffer from sleep apnea, a restful sleep is hard to come by.

With 10 per cent of the North American population impacted by this sleep disorder, someone you know may be experiencing the side effects of sleep apnea, which can be severe and debilitating.

As Dr. T. Douglas Bradley, director of the University Health Network Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and Toronto General Hospital Sleep Research Labs, noted in this week’s Metroland Media Toronto special report, “You feel like you’ve been hit by a 10-ton truck when you get up in the morning.”

Sufferers can also experience potential long-term cardiovascular health effects such as high blood pressure, stroke and heart failure.

The effects can go beyond the bedroom as the ensuing sleepiness throughout the day can lead to a fourfold increase in the incidence of getting involved in motor vehicle and industrial accidents.

NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM

Studies show men are three times more likely to suffer from the condition with age playing a factor as well as obesity and inactivity.

But all is not doom and gloom with the report highlighting potential cures for sleep apnea depending on the severity of the case.

Simple solutions include sleeping on your side or wearing a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask, which blows air through the nose and into the back of the throat to keep the airway open.

But as it is with most health-related issues, Bradley iterated that prevention is the greatest cure.

Ford book may lead to unintended consequences Watching Doug Ford announce that Harper Collins will soon be releasing another Ford book – Ford Nation: “the most exciting book that this country’s ever seen when it comes to politics”– I was struck with a pang of sympathy.

The sympathy is not for my colleagues in the press or the politicians at city hall, who Doug Ford promised would be spared no indignity in Ford Nation’s pages. My heart really goes out to the writer – or possibly team of writers and editors, as Ford was vague about the specifics – who were contracted

by Harper Collins to pen this tell-all authorized sortof biographical memoir of Rob and Doug Ford’s adventures at the helm of Toronto.

It made me think of Tony Schwartz.

He did a similar job three decades ago, for New York real estate mogul Donald Trump, when he wrote “The Art of the Deal” on Trump’s

david nickle the city behalf. He wasn’t precisely a ghost writer – he shared the byline with Trump, right there on the cover, and also split the royalties and the advance. By all accounts, he did good work for good pay.

Maybe too good. Earlier this year, Schwartz, through an interview in The New Yorker magazine, expressed “deep remorse” for helping Trump build his reputation as a touch-of-gold entrepreneur, which in turn helped him rise through and above the others for the Republican nomination in 2016 and win the thing. Maybe he’ll win the presidency, and if he does…“I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization,” Schwartz was quoted saying.

Thank heaven there are no nuclear codes associ-

ated with the jobs that Doug Ford made clear he might just be seeking – the mayoralty of Toronto, the premiership of Ontario, or the office of Prime Minister of Canada. But Doug Ford left no doubt that the book, subtitled “Two Brothers, One Vision,” is at the very least coincidental with his re-entry into Canadian electoral politics. When it’s released Nov. 22, he promised to criss-cross the country ostensibly to drum up sales but also to meet people.

As to when he will reveal his political plans?

Sometime within the next year, Ford promised. It’s hard to say how this strategy will play out for Ford.

He does have a base and a profile – the fact that he was able to summon half of Toronto’s news media to his house in Etobicoke for nothing more specific than a “special” announcement Tuesday morning is testament to that. And he does have an image

to rehabilitate: as much as the Ford Nation base of support continues to percolate, a winning majority of Torontonians rejected him for mayor in part because of the way he and his brother comported themselves while in office as councillor and mayor respectively. Will a book tour do the job? Promoting her autobiography My Journey certainly didn’t help Olivia Chow hold onto her early lead in polls in the 2014 mayoral race.

On the other hand, a well-penned, well-timed book can do a lot to turn a troubling narrative into a triumphant one – particularly as the most troubling elements recede further into history. And that can open the door…

Well, it can open the door to all sorts of things.

Just ask Tony Schwartz.

Residents to have say on developments Community consultation is forthcoming for two development applications proposing to bring a total of 367 new dwelling units to Ward 13.

West-end councillors voted to move forward with the public meetings for residents living within 240 metres of the two proposed developments at the Sept. 7 meeting of Etobicoke York Community Council.

If ultimately approved, the first application at 2442-2454 Bloor St. W. and 1-9 Riverview Gardens

would see the demolition of five existing buildings – including Humber Cinemas – in order to make way for a 14-storey mixed-use building.

The proposed new building would include nearly 5,000 square metres of retail space, 244 residential units, and 331 underground parking spaces.

The second application at 3385 Dundas St. W., meanwhile, proposes the demolition of the existing 11-bay car wash on the site to pave the way for the construction of a new

eight-storey mixed-use building.

That proposed new development would be comprised of retail uses and 123 residential units – including eight Habitat for Humanity units – and 135 underground parking spaces.

Planning staff recommended the community consultation for the first application be scheduled sometime in the fourth quarter of 2016, and for the second sometime this month.

Virtual reality festival offers immersive viewing experiences Justin skinner jskinner@insidetoronto.com As TIFF winds down this weekend, a relatively new festival will offer up a unique and immersive viewing experience without lineups.

The Festival of International Virtual and Augmented Reality Stories (FIVARS) brings viewers into virtual worlds to see, hear and sense a selection of complete viewing experiences. With the latest wear-

able technology, including GearVR, HTC Vive and Oculus headsets and Subpac backpacks to have sound transmitted directly into the viewer’s body, FIVARS viewings are completely unlike your standard film festival fare.

“It addresses the user experience as much as the content,” said Keram Malicki-Sanchez, who co-founded FIVARS in 2015 along with Joseph Ellsworth and Jessy Blaze. “But it’s a festival of stories, not just a virtual

reality showcase.”

Each virtual reality short has been chosen because it offers different visual and sensory mechanics, plus subject matter that is engrossing, particularly when seen through a virtual reality lens. The themes explored by the selections run the gamut from underwater research to the edges of outer space to the refugee experience, along with a number of fictional pieces.

Attendees purchase six-packs

of RipTix, with each ticket good for a five-minute viewing experience. Viewers can use as many as they want at once, and they can also enjoy a pitch-black 3D audio chamber, panel discussions with directors, an immersive art installation and more.

FIVARS takes place at MSMU Studios, 950 Dupont Street, from Friday to Sunday, with showings from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. For information, visit www.fivars.net

New owners were unaware of heritage designation proposal

Benjamin Priebe/Metroland

The former home of Conn Smythe on Baby Point Road could soon be designated a heritage site.

>>>from page 1 Smythe’s,” said EtobicokeLakeshore Councillor Mark Grimes, a self-described Maple Leafs season ticket holder who currently sits on the Hockey Hall of Fame’s board of directors.

York West Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti also expressed a healthy dose of skepticism, and offered a piece of advice to the new homeowners’ lawyer should he consider pursuing the matter much further.

you’re going to take this for your client, but if I were a betting man, I’d say go find another client,” Mammoliti urged Rouleau.

“While I feel for the applicant in terms of them not wanting (heritage designation), tough luck,” he added. “Conn Smythe is Conn Smythe. If you can’t designate a site as heritage based on Conn Smythe, then you’re

not going to be able to do it on any one individual.”

In stressing to her council colleagues the urgency of supporting staff recommendations that city council state its intention to designate the property, Parkdale-High Parkdale Councillor Sarah Doucette warned that “when you lose a house like this, you never get it back.”

Doucette’s motion was

ultimately approved, garnering cheers from the gallery, including Brian Mooney, chair of the Etobicoke York Community Preservation Panel; Mary Anne De MonteWhelan, chair of the Baby Point Heritage Foundation; and Madeleine McDowell, noted local historian.

The matter will now proceed to next month’s Toronto city council meeting.
