More local news needed I like the look of the Parkdale Villager, but find myself searching for Parkdale content, news, profiles, business stories, etc. Gallery 1313, and other local organizations, has benefited over the years with plenty of coverage of events and news. We just as I write this, we are having a Tibetan artist at the gallery, who, although he is not local, is being welcomed by the local Tibetan community. It seems a pity it wasn’t covered. There are plenty of new businesses moving into the area that would make good copy, and a story about a proposed development at Noble Street received more coverage in a daily paper than the Parkdale Villager. I hope that this approach to local news is not the permanent template of the newspaper, and we can look forward to more local coverage. Phil Anderson

to admire Trudeau. Since Rob Ford’s death earlier this year, Tory has governed without a real critic on the right. If the Ford family had sent Doug Ford back into the Ward 2 trenches, Tory would have been faced with having not only a critic, but also his most formidable foe in the 2014 municipal election. It is possible Michael Ford will grow into that role. On election night, his grandmother opined he might one day become mayor himself. But it will be awhile, likely, before Michael Ford moves into that part of the Ford brand, because so far he’ll be doing the work that established the family in Etobicoke to begin with and has endeared them all to those constituents: which is to say, answering phone calls, showing up at doorsteps, solving small problems definitively and optionally, dealing with large problems at a policy level. Rob Ford treated that last element of the brand extremely optionally. Even as mayor, he paid policy scant attention – focussing on keeping taxes low, pointing out waste and gathering political capital as much from the votes he lost at council as the ones that he won. There seems to be hope Michael Ford will be different in that regard, and examine the needs of his constituents collectively as well as individually. Because let’s face it: the voters have collectively done much to elevate three generations of Fords to public office. It will be interesting to see how the latest generation repays that loyalty.

What with all the sound and fury south of the border Monday night as Democratic Party conventioneers girded their loins for what could be a world-changing political battle royale with the Trump family, it would be easy to have missed the quiet, civilized affair that ushered the late Rob Ford’s nephew Michael into that family’s office at Toronto City Hall. America may have a stark choice ahead of it – but the voters in Ward 2 (Etobicoke North) made their choice a long time ago, and on July 25 they simply confirmed it. The Ford family – first the late Rob Ford, then his brother Doug Ford and now Michael – are the dynasty of choice for Toronto’s northwest. Nothing, not even Rob Ford’s toxic, drug-and-alcohol-fuelled meltdown during his term as mayor, seems to be able to shake that loyalty. And so it comes to pass that Toronto Council has a new member, maybe not the same but quite similar to the last two members, in Michael Ford, the 22-year-old son of Rob and Doug’s sister Kathy. By all accounts, Michael Ford is a bit different than his uncles politically, although it is early to say: he hadn’t yet completed a single term as a school trustee before Rob Ford’s death necessitated his candidacy in the Ward 2 byelection. He has developed a reputation in that time as a consensus-builder, curious and prone to evidence-based decision-making. He is said to admire Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. If this is so, it will be a relief to Mayor John Tory, who also seems

They’re cropping up all over the city and in our waterways, destroying aquatic and forest ecosystems - keeping city staff on their toes. Whether on land or in the water, there are a number of species that are wreaking havoc on their surrounding environment and threatening the creatures and plants whose habitat they overtake. They are bullies infiltrating Toronto’s ravines, prairies, wooded areas and waterways, keeping the city’s small, but ardent Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff, and such conservation organizations as the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH), on their toes staving off these alien pests. There are four different species of Asian carp – bighead, silver, grass and black – that OFAH’s invading species awareness program, in collaboration with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, are keeping tabs on, preventing these invaders from establishing populations in the Great Lakes. “They can cause quite a bit of danger,” said Sarah Chadwick, the invasive species spokesperson for the OFAH. “There are no established populations in the Great Lakes, and we want to keep it that way.” However, there have been reported sightings of Asian carp as close to home as Lake Ontario, Chadwick added. Asian carp have the capability to destroy aquatic ecosystems while negatively impacting the environment and economy. “They could damage sport and commercial fishing in Ontario, which brings in millions of dollars,” Chadwick said.
Asian carp consume as much as 40 per cent of their body weight daily leaving little food for native fish to eat, reproduce extremely quickly enabling them to dominate habitats and increase the murkiness of the water making it difficult for native fish to find food. Grass carp specifically destroy wetlands that are key habitats for native species. “It’s important to educate the public on what they look like,” Chadwick said. “Our mandate is education and awareness.” Bighead and silver carp have spread the most aggressively through the U.S. and pose the greatest threat to the Great Lakes. The bighead can be identified by its small scales with dark blotches, short dorsal fin and eyes below the centre of its body; the silver carp has small, shiny scales; the black carp has large dark scales in a crosshatched pattern, and a pointed snout; the grass carp also has a short dorsal fin, and large, dark crosshatched scale pattern. Brought to North America in the 1960s and ‘70s, Asian carp are often mistaken for common carp, Chadwick said. Unlike Asian carp, the common carp has a long dorsal fin and two barbels (slender, whisker-like sensory organ at the mouth). Fisheries and Oceans Canada continues to monitor for the presence of Asian carp. “We’ve had lots of calls from the public. People are keen to help,” spokesperson Becky Cudmore said. There is a reason why these species are deemed invasive.

RIGHT: The bighead carp, part of the Asian carp family, is an invasive species. Others include silver, grass and black carp. Common carp is also an invasive species, but not part of the Asian carp family.

widespread in Toronto. It’s in every watershed and transportation corridor.” Agriculture Canada has introduced a biological control moth, a natural predator, which eats the leaves on the vine, as a method of control because the dog-strangling vine began impacting agriculture. The vine is not the only menace Toronto is fighting. The Japanese knotweed, a five- to six-feet tall bamboo-like plant that out competes other vegetation, can be found along streams and at the bottom of ravines. It spreads by its roots travelling down streams, Webster said. It blocks access to water, reducing all other native vegetation. Green frogs, native to Ontario, are being displaced because they are losing their habitat. “Every ravine in Toronto has a little bit of it,” she said. Control methods include cutting it down twice a season and using herbicide on the root system. “When people don’t stay on trail systems, they’re spreading species,” Webster said.

They’re highly adaptable and can tolerate a variety of habitat conditions. Parks and forestry staff are currently battling the dog-strangling vine. Although it is not new to Toronto – it arrived from Eastern Ukraine and Southern Russia in the 1900s – the herbaceous vine invades meadows and forest edges. “It prefers open spaces,” said Cara Webster, acting supervisor of tree nursery and natural resource management within Parks, Forestry and Recreation. “It grows in vine form, twining small trees and shrubs. It chokes them out. If we don’t keep up on control, it will overtake newly planted species.” It grows in large patches, outcompeting other species, Webster said, adding it poses a threat to native species like the black oak savannah in High Park. It can impact recreation areas because once it establishes a huge colony, “you can’t walk through it,” Webster said. Grassland birds, such as the Bobolink meadowlark, are particularly at risk. That’s because the vine alters their habitat preventing them from nesting. Toronto first began controlling the vine in the late 1990s when staff and volunteers would manually remove it. The challenge is that the dog-strangling vine has a very deep root system. “Now, we use a method of applying a herbicide by wiping it on with a sponge. That way, it doesn’t hurt other species,” Webster said. “It’s very
