Donated items to sell needed to fund trip CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Of the thousands of Nicaraguan villagers whose lives have been touched by Richview Baptist missionaries over the last seven years, one little girl and her family stand out from the rest.

Paul Payne first met young Catherine in 2011, when he and the team of Etobicoke youth he was leading repaired an insectinfested well in front of the now-12-year-old’s school in the village of El Salto.

"When we got there, there were a million black carpenter ants living in that well, so we (bleached) it, re-piped it, repaired it and sealed it," said Payne, a deacon and youth co-ordinator at Richview Baptist Church in Etobicoke.

"And now it’s a viable, sustainable water source for the whole school."

Catherine was among the inquisitive young schoolchildren watching on during that project.

Soon after, she and her family approached Payne to see if they could help out with the transformation the Richview Baptist missionaries were undertaking in their village.

"Her dad is my best friend now - he builds with us every year," Payne said of Catherine’s father, noting that in 2015 the Richview Baptist team helped rebuild the family-ofeight’s ramshackle home to make it livable.

"They had cockroaches, rats, scorpions and mos-

No hydro and no water. So we helped transform her family with that house, and her dad hasn’t stopped paying it forward since - he helps us every year."

Payne said he fully expects to work alongside Catherine’s dad once again this August, when he leads Richview Baptist youth on their eighth mission trip to Nicaragua - but he needs the Etobicoke community’s help to make sure the trip is successful.

As in previous years, proceeds from this year’s upcoming 11th Annual Huge Garage Sale, Barbecue and Silent Auction at

Richview Baptist - which will be held on Saturday, May 13 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

- will once again support the church’s ongoing mission trips to build and repair water wells in impoverished regions of the Central American country.

Richview is currently seeking donations of saleable items for this year’s fundraiser - everything from new and gently-used clothes and shoes, to books and games, to furniture and electronics, among others.

their donated items to help with the sale, and by attending the sale and spending or donating their (pocket) change," Payne said.

Over the span of the last seven mission trips, Payne said Richview Baptist has used the money raised from the church’s annual fundraising sale to help send close to 120 youth to Nicaragua to undertake projects in partnership with Water Ambassadors Canada and Bridges of Hope.

Since that first trip in 2009, Richview Baptist’s youth missionaries have succeeded in:

Matagalpa region of Nicaragua for a week.

"This year on the trip, we plan to drill a well, do nine well repairs, build a house, provide 70 people with free dental care, and feed another 190 ladies in the hospital and give them care packages," Payne said of the group’s 2017 goals.

None of that will be possible, however, without the Etobicoke community’s support of Richview Baptist’s upcoming garage sale, which acts as the primary fundraiser for mission trips.

To those ends, Payne said there are several ways local residents and businesses can help out: • by dropping off saleable items for donation at the church, located at 1548 Kipling Ave. (two blocks north of Eglinton Avenue West), on Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 10 a.m., or Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8 p.m.

• by donating gift cards/certificates, entertainment and amusement park passes, attraction and sporting tickets, or gift baskets, etc. toward the sale’s silent auction.

• and last, but not least, by volunteering to help make the sale a success both for presale sorting and organization, and for day-of-sale assistance and cleanup. Community service hours will be provided to high school volunteers.

The rain-or-shine sale will take place at Richview Baptist Church, 1548 Kipling Ave., on Saturday, May 13 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

For more information or to sign up as a volunteer, contact Paul Payne at paul@richview.org or 416706-4510.

Is this the long-lost Richview bell?

CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com The shroud of mystery surrounding the missing Richview bell might have finally lifted.

Trustee Chris Glover has enlisted the help of the Toronto District School Board’s archivist to determine whether or not a bell found in the backyard of a Kipling and Eglinton area home could, in fact, be the longlost 1800s artifact.

"We’ve taken pictures and measurements, and the board archivist, Greg McKinnon, is taking that back to see if these help to identify it," he said, noting that there are no cast markers on the bell, making it difficult to ascertain its origins.

Glover was first alerted to the existence of the bell late last month by Michael Duench, who found it in the backyard of the home he and his family moved into in August.

"It’s an original house, so when we moved in, there were a lot of projects throughout that we took on to kind of update it," he said. "One of them was this solid steel gazebo in the middle

of the backyard with a big bell on top. We ripped it down, cut it out of the ground, and sent all the metal to scrap - all except the bell, which we kept out of curiosity."

Interested in potentially reinstalling the piece as a dinner bell for his kids, Duench said he sent the bell to his father for refurbishing. It’s been sitting his garage ever since.

Fast forward to last month, when Duench’s father-in-law alerted him to a story in the Etobicoke Guardian detailing Glover’s search for the Richview bell.

"He sent the article over to us and asked if we thought our bell could be the Richview bell.

Given that we live less than a block away from where the bell would’ve been (at site of the former Richview School), we thought it could be possible," Duench said.

"So, I sent (Glover) a note and invited him over to check it out."

Glover eagerly took him up on the offer, and recently paid a visit to the bell with McKinnon in tow.

The pair also visited Isling-

ton Junior Middle School to have a look at their old school bell for comparison. "(The Islington) bell is much larger, made of iron, and has a casting marker of ’28’ on it," Glover said, surmising that the number is likely indicative of the bell’s manufacture date in 1828.

Unfortunately, Glover added, there are no such date markers or detailing on the suspected Richview bell, making it difficult to determine its authenticity.

Glover is now calling on anyone in the community who might have identifying information about the Richview bell to come forward.

"If any of your readers have a way of determining whether the bell Michael has is the right bell, we would appreciate the information," he said, noting that he’s eager to solve the mystery once and for all.

"The search is getting exciting. It’s the most fun project I’m working on as a trustee."

Anyone with information is urged to contact Glover at chris.glover@tdsb.on.ca.

The Toronto District School Board’s archivist is currently investigating the possibility that this recently refurbished bell, found on the backyard gazebo of a home a mere block from the site of the former Richview School, could be the school’s missing circa 1800s bell.

Major University hearing study seeks participants.

Connect Hearing, with a leading hearing researcher at Ryerson University, seeks participants for a hearing study investigating the factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada.

often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. By studying those people having difficulty in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

Why Research Hearing Loss?

For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day.

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss,1 but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help.2 This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people

Deep inside our ears are several thousand microscopic “hair cells.” These cells are arranged in rows and each cell is responsible for hearing a specific pitch, similar to the keys on a piano. As we age, some of these cells become damaged… from loud noises, chronic conditions, or the process of aging itself. Just like a piano with damaged keys, an ear with damaged hair cells will make things sound muffled and distorted.

ABOUT US

Community hospitals need your support Next week marks Community Hospital Week in our city – a week designated to help spread awareness of all that happens in these hospitals right in our own backyards. These health-care institutions are centres of innovation, teaching facilities and the place we go for countless health-care needs.

Many of us know the emergency department well, but do you know they also offer highly specialized care?

Internationally recognized programs and expert physicians and staff help put Canada’s health-care system at the front of the pack.

The contributions of our community hospitals in achieving this can’t be taken for granted.

That’s why Metroland Media Toronto has partnered with Humber River Hospital, North York General Hospital, St. Joseph’s Health Centre and Scarborough and Rouge Hospital to promote the special awareness week.

These hospitals are there for us throughout every stage of our lives, but they need a little help from us to continue to deliver high-quality patient care. While the cost of hospital operations is funded by the Ontario government, helping to create access to some of the best health care in the world, the province asks the community to participate by supporting equipment needs and a portion of capital renovations. Many people don’t know that the government only covers a hospital’s operating expenses, leaving the costs of new medical equipment and building for the hospital to cover – and that’s where you can come in.

Hospitals count on the generosity of donors to fund a whole host of things that make a difference in the individualized care provided by health-care specialists in your hospital, close to home. Your support helps with the purchase of new X-ray machines so doctors can diagnose your child’s broken arm, finance renovations to birthing suites so new moms can bring life to our communities, expanding emergency services so that they’re available when your family needs it most, and much more.

Gala dinners, planned giving, golf tournaments, corporate grants, raffles, silent auctions, and individual monthly and annual gifts are just a few ways hospital foundations work with the public to raise funds to support health care in your community.

It’s not easy to ask for help, but it’s easy to make a difference in the health care in your community. During this Community Hospitals Week and throughout the year, consider offering your support to your hospital.

East York pride can survive new boundaries East York is dead, yet it’s still with us. Next year will be 20 years since the province pushed six unwilling cities together, and East York – that borough on the Don River – was one.

The spirit of East York hangs on, though; in sports leagues, legion halls, its historical society and garden club. The old civic centre is still there, and East York’s politicians don’t let residents forget.

But now comes a new challenge: East York will take territory from North York.

Ward boundaries designed to last Toronto the next four elections – Toronto council passed a bylaw establishing them last month – have "really torn apart the traditional boundaries of East York,"

MIKE ADLER Edges of Toronto says Janet Davis, a councillor there for 14 years.

Our 44 wards were created in 2000, when the megacity was new. But with 400,000 more Torontonians flooding into downtown and wherever else condos bloom, council opted for 47 wards.

You’ll have to learn new ward numbers. The plan means more representation from down-

town, a bit more new blood.

It also means East York wards north of the Danforth absorb parts of North York west of the Don Valley.

Paula Fletcher, council veteran from nearby Riverdale, bluntly says the boundary plan "completely disrespects East York as a legacy city."

People have communities and they’re attached to them, Fletcher adds. "I think that’s important that we honour that, not carve it up."

Davis, however, says she’s trying to be positive about the change. She’ll work even harder to keep East York pride, and identity, going.

That identity is strong, she insists, in a generation calling themselves East Yorkers - some trading

memorabilia online - after East York, the municipality, ceased to be.

The plan’s also notable for what it doesn’t change.

Etobicoke, beyond the Humber River, stays intact, though a councillor there, Justin DiCiano, is appealing the redistribution anyway.

Victoria Park Avenue remains the wall beyond which Scarborough lies.

An earlier option divided the Beach, merging one of its wards with southwestern Scarborough.

That was enough to get residents on both sides of Victoria Park angry. In Toronto, our dead former cities are tough to kill.

HEALTH

Youngster approved for OHIP-funded surgery in the U.S. TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com When Keisha YoungHaecker’s son, Thomas, entered the world as a "micropreemie" at one pound, 14 ounces, gripping fear eclipsed the joy.

Infection during her pregnancy induced labour at just 23 weeks. Thomas spent three-and-a-half months in a NICU incubator at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Doctors forecasted a dark fate for the newborn.

"Doctors said he would have severe cerebral palsy," Young-Haecker recalled.

"They said he would be blind, couldn’t speak, and would be severely handicapped. The doctor said ’It’s cute going up and down the stairs when you have a little baby. But can you imagine having a 50-pound baby boy, who can’t do anything for himself, and you have to lift him up and down the stairs all the time?’

"And that was his way of telling us, maybe now is a good time to let him go. I wanted to prove him wrong. I was angry. How dare you tell me this is what is going to happen."

The couple didn’t let go of their son.

Thomas began intensive interventions when he arrived home at 10 months old, including osteopathy and physiotherapy that cost his parents $250 a week, and later, speech therapy and occupational therapy.

Thomas wears leg splits and uses a wheelchair for distance.

"Thomas is by no means severe," Young-Haecker said. "He still has his issues.

As he gets older, the issues

Thomas Haecker, 4, shares a kiss with his mother Keisha Young-Haecker at home. Thomas has been approved for partial out-of-country OHIP coverage for a May 11 surgery called SDR (Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy), shown to eliminate spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. will get worse. He has tightness in his legs that causes him to be crouched, and he usually walks high on his toes."

That doesn’t stop the little boy, who sits transfixed by his Mario Chase video game.

Cerebral palsy is the most-frequent cause of physical disability in Canadian children, affecting two to 2.5 in 1,000 children every year, the Bloorview Research Institute reported.

"About a year ago, his legs were so tight they were like pulling rubber bands.

His legs were shaking in bed. He said ’It hurts,’" Young-Haecker said of lessening effective Botox treatments.

A nurse, Young-Haecker began online research of a surgical procedure called Selective Dorsal Rhizoto-

my or SDR. American neurosurgeon Dr. T.S. Park pioneered SDR at St. Louis Children’s Hospital where it has been performed on more than 3,000 patients.

In SDR, surgeons identify and electrically stimulate the dorsal spinal rootlet nerve fibres that cause spasticity in their transmission from the muscle to the spinal cord. Surgeons selectively cut the abnormal rootlets, leaving the normal rootlets intact.

Young-Haecker approached Dr. Darcy Fehlings, who follows Thomas at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital’s spasticity clinic.

Fehlings discussed Thomas’ case with Dr. James Drake, the head of neurosurgery at SickKids hospital. Drake is one of

two pediatric neurosurgeons in Ontario qualified to assess patients seeking out-of-country (OOC) SDR surgery.

Thomas’ future changed.

Last December, YoungHaecker opened a letter from the ministry approving Thomas’ OOC OHIP funding the same day her husband Corey read a letter from Park confirming Thomas for SDR surgery on May 11.

"I called Corey. ’Thomas was approved for surgery.’

He said, ’How do you know?’ We were so super happy. We were excited to know Thomas’ life would be pain-free."

Four-year-old Thomas is an "excellent candidate" for SDR surgery, Park said.

"Thomas will be able to walk independently with

improved balance and endurance," Park wrote in the letter. "He will be able to participate in recreational activities and SDR will prevent future deterioration."

Post-SDR surgery, Thomas’ spasticity will be permanently reduced, and his sitting and standing postures and comfort improved, Park said.

Still, the Haeckers needed to raise $25,000 for possible post-SDR tendon-release surgery and equipment.

They took out a line-ofcredit. Their GoFundMe Page (https://www.gofundme.com/thomasjourney) has surpassed $30,000.

And they committed to Park to a year of daily physiotherapy post-SDR. But Young-Haecker is concerned about how and who is evaluated for OOC

OHIP coverage.

"Ours was not as tough as struggle as that of some parents seeking out-ofcountry SDR. There shouldn’t be that discrepancy," she said. "Some parents can’t even get to see these two (evaluating) doctors because they’re told they’re out of the catchment area."

The Ministry of Health "is not aware of any catchment area barriers that would exclude patients from obtaining services at either location (doctor)," ministry spokesperson David Jensen said in an email.

The ministry has received 17 OOC prior-approval applications for patients seeking SDR in the U.S. since it began accepting applications October 2014; 11 of those were approved for OOC OHIP funding, Jensen said.

The ministry is reviewing a proposal from the Toronto Local Health Integration Network and Holland Bloorview and SickKids Hospital to establish a joint SDR assessment/surgery/ rehab program in Ontario, he added.

If approved, YoungHaecker urged the government to offer parents physio cost relief.

"Even if Ontario does come up with a SDR program here, they need to come up with a structure for physio after surgery where parents don’t have to pay so much for physio for an entire year after," she said.

Toronto students win Kids’ Fish Art Contest Two students from Toronto had their designs chosen for the 14th annual Kids’ Fish Art Contest sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and partners.

The contest was created to connect GTA students with nature and help them realize the importance of protecting Ontario’s natural resources.

Students between grades 4 and 12 were given the opportunity to research a specific fish species, draw an original picture and submit a brief essay about the fish.

Over 400 designs were submitted this year.

Grace Qian from Etobicoke School of the Arts was chosen as the grades 7 to 9 and overall winner.

Una Li from North Toronto Christian School was the winner for grades 10 to 12.

The winning designs were announced at the 2017 Toronto Sportsmen’s Show March 15 at the International Centre, Mississauga.

Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry Kathryn McGarry presented the prizes to the winners whose designs will be featured on three different versions of the Young Angler’s Licence.

Association to tackle transit, gridlock issues l Continued from page 1

cially because there was an absence of democratic and public process that could gauge and address the needs of the community.

We believe the path forward should be based on a transparent, democratic and inclusive ethos - and we want to look to encourage and provide that if we can."

According to Barba, some examples among the diverse set of challenges the new HBSRRA hopes to tackle in the near future include the population-dense area’s poor public transportation, lack of rapid transit, gridlock, failing hydro grid, and lack of local school and daycare options.

To those ends, the fivemember steering committee behind the new HBSRRA - which also includes Gerry Berman, Bonnie Whitley, Filip Vlasák, and Sandra May Horncastle - have been meeting over the past year to lay the groundwork for the group’s

solid foundation.

"We really wanted to make sure that we hashed out appropriate bylaws, code of ethics, conflict of interest and all that stuff, so we made sure to really take our time," Barba said.

While the group is still in its early stages, they are set to begin seeking membership from residents and ratepayers from within its boundaries in the next couple of weeks.

Geographically, the HBSRRA spans the area from the Humber River to the east; the GO tracks to the north; Humber Bay Park West to Grand Harbour, to Fleeceline Road, to Harbourview Crescent to the west; and Lake Ontario to the south (including Humber Bay Park East and Humber Bay Park West).

"In the end, it’s really about formulating a platform that allows the community to find solutions together," Barba said of the HBSRRA, noting that they’ll seek to accomplish

that goal through annual general meetings and polling, as well a "very strong online presence" they hope will encourage widespread resident participation.

"Right now, there’s a group of five very passionate people doing this, but it is 100 per cent our goal to make sure we have an elected body that is putting options forward to the community, and considering and ultimately deciding together what is being presented to local political decision-makers," Barba said.

"We just need to have a strong voice and start standing up for ourselves."

For more information about the HBSRRA, go to www.facebook.com/HumberBayShores.

There, Barba said, residents are encouraged to leave feedback, ask questions, and explore the HBSRRA’s mission statement, objectives, drafted bylaws and conflict of interest policy.

16 HISTORY

CORNER

Eastwood family helped develop Long Branch community DENISE HARRIS denise.harris@sympatico.ca The family of James and Martha Eastwood played an important role in the development of Long Branch.

In 1845, James Eastwood from England and Martha Smith from Scotland married in Richmond Hill, where James worked as a coachman. In 1861, they purchased 219 acres (88 ha) of land south of Lakeshore Road (now Lake Shore Blvd. W.), east of Etobicoke Creek, and moved there with their seven children.

Their new property was originally part of a vast estate granted to Colonel Samuel Smith. The Eastwoods lived in the small log house that had been Smith’s home, eventually expanding it to ten rooms.

The property still had most of its original forest, and James cut and sold most of the timber, and then farmed the newly-cleared land. In 1883, James sold approximately 64 acres (26

ha) on the eastern edge of his property to the consortium that would develop it into an exclusive summer resort named Long Branch Park (see column January 12, 2017.)

James died in 1884 and Martha in 1916. Five of their seven children - Annabella, James, John, Samuel and Sarah - never married and lived in the family home their entire lives.

Daughter Elizabeth married George Christopherson in 1871 and by 1891 they had moved to Halton County. The youngest son, Robert, married Elizabeth MacGregor in 1912 at the age of 51. Around 1911, Robert built the unique house seen in the above photo for his new bride. It was located at what today would be the southwest corner of Lake Shore Blvd. W. and 37th Street.

Robert was described as tall, reserved, and highly principled. He served on Etobicoke’s council 1895-6.

He won prizes every year

Eastwood Family photo

Home of Robert and Elizabeth Eastwood, built ca. 1911 in an eclectic Queen Anne style with a high gambrel roof and octagonal window bays topped by towers. for his horses, and became a trusted livestock judge.

He and his brothers were highly respected locally and when trouble broke out in local hotels, like Mimico’s Windsor House, they were called to defuse

the situation. Usually one look at the brothers all carrying their shotguns was enough to restore order.

In 1919, the Eastwoods sold all but six acres of their remaining property to developers, and the area

was opened as the "Eastwood Park Estates" subdivision.

Robert died in 1927, and his house was sold to Paul Laurents who operated it as a tourist home until 1935, and then expanded it into a

licensed hotel. Under the Laurents’ four generation ownership, it was a respectable neighbourhood establishment. However, after it was sold to new owners in 1987, newspapers began to carry stories about strippers, drunken brawls, and frequent police arrests. By 2008, the building was in such poor physical condition that it was demolished.

There was once an Eastwood Street in Long Branch, but in 1935, its name was changed to 38th Street. However, in 2017 the family will be commemorated once again when a new street opens off Long Branch Avenue., north of Lake Shore Boulevard West, with the name Eastwood Park Gardens.

Silverthorn CI students dive into mental health issues Silverthorn Collegiate students took to the pool at Etobicoke Olympium this week to raise money for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) One Brave Night for Mental Health Challenge.

Teacher Nancy Nieuweboer said the annual event, now in its second year, is a tribute to a much-loved student swimmer from Silverthorn who died by suicide in 2015.

"It’s come from the fact that we had a loss here of a student a few years back," she said of the swim-athon, which this year took place on Thursday, April 13.

"So we decided that every year we’re going to have this event in her honour, and to donate all the money to CAMH for their One Brave Night initiative."

Silverthorn Collegiate students swim laps during a swim-a-thon at the Etobicoke Olympium on April 13 to raise money for mental health through the Canadian Association of Mental Health’s One Brave Night initiative.

One Brave Night is a nation-wide challenge aimed at inspiring hope for the one in five Canadians living with mental illness in any given year.

In its first two years, the initiative raised more than $1.5 million - funds that have helped: - create three new youth clinics to help address the gap in mental health treat-

ment - inspire hope through discovery by testing new treatment options for people with severe and treatment-resistant depression - and continue to redevelop CAMH facilities to build treatment, education and research spaces.

To donate to Team Silverthorn, go to http:// bit.ly/2pqNElH
