City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff member Clarissa Jewell removes a Japanese knotweed, a tall bamboo-like invasive plant, from High Park.

LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com 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 theGreat 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 >>>WETLANDS, page 3

Residents call for renewable power for Crosstown LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com Metrolinx and Toronto Hydro are seeking alternatives to a natural gas-powered backup facility for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, York South-Weston MPP Laura Albanese assured Mount Dennis residents at a community meeting last week.

Metrolinx’s initial proposal for a gas-powered backup facility, an 18-megawatt generator as part of its maintenance and storage facility on the former Kodak lands, concerned local residents prompting them to sign a petition circulated by the Mount Dennis Community Association (MDCA).

“We were told it would only be used occasionally, when (Crosstown train) cars are stalled in the tunnel,” Judith Hayes of the MDCA told a small, but attentive group of residents at the York Civic Centre. “It would be within 50 metres of local homes; there would be pollutants coming into the neighbourhood on the hottest days of the year. We didn’t think this was a good idea.” >>>BACK-UP, page 12

SPECIAL REPORT

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.

Wetlands, forests, birds at risk as invasive species start to spread >>>from page 1 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.

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.

“

They could damage sport and commercial fishing in Ontario, which brings in millions of dollars.

– Sarah Chadwick, on Asian carp

“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 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.

Celebrate Simcoe Day by having fun in Toronto

WRitE uS

T

he coming long weekend is known as Simcoe Day and now is a good time to learn a little bit more about Upper Canada’s first lieutenantgovernor and the founder of our city.

John Graves Simcoe is honoured across the province with a lake, county and more streets than we could ever mention. But it is only Toronto that celebrates the first Monday in August as Simcoe Day. The August long weekend holiday has many other names across Ontario and Canada ranging from the fairly bland civic holiday to the City of Vaughan’s Benjamin Vaughan Day and the City of Ottawa’s Colonel By Day. Simcoe, though, deserves a special place in the hearts of Torontonians. Named Upper Canada’s lieutenant governor in 1791, he founded York, which later became Toronto as the capital city, and also had a key role in naming Scarborough OuR ViEW because the bluffs reminded his wife Elizabeth of Scarborough, Simcoe has England.

Though only lieutenant goverspecial place nor until 1796, his accomplishwere many, including in our hearts ments taking a strong stand against slavery and banning it in Upper Canada years before it was abolished across the entire British Empire. He also laid out Toronto’s famous grid street system of north-south and eastwest roads, earning the thanks to this day of those travelling through and around the city.

So how do we celebrate him some 230 years after his time as lieutenant governor ended? Well, like all long weekends in Toronto, we have fun.

There’s numerous events set for our city this weekend, many drawing huge crowds of both local residents and tourists. There’s the Toronto Caribbean Carnival on this weekend, which features the King and Queen competition Thursday night at Lamport Stadium and then the Grand Parade Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Lake Shore Boulevard and Exhibition Place. Also, there’s the 15th annual Scarborough Rotary Ribfest from Friday through to Monday at Thomson Park and the Veld Music Festival at Downsview Park Saturday and Sunday. And if you’d like to step back to a time closer to Simcoe’s, you can take part in Simcoe Day activities Monday at Fort York. Whatever you do, have fun and stay safe whether you are in the city, travelling the highways or enjoying Ontario’s lakes and wilderness. newsroom ph:

column

Michael Ford continues family’s political dynasty 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 worldchanging 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-andalcohol-fuelled meltdown during his single term as mayor, seems to be able to shake that loyalty.

And so it comes to pass

david nickle the city that Toronto Council has a new member, maybe not the same but quite similar to the last two members, in Michael Ford, the 22-yearold 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 evidencebased 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 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 that Michael Ford will grow into that role.

On election night, Michael Ford’s grandmother Diane opined that he might one day follow in his uncle’s footsteps and become mayor himself.

But it will be a while, likely, before the new councillor for Ward 2 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.

Michael Ford’s Uncle Rob 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 that 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 of Ward 2 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.

Lennox Animal Hospital a huge extended family Dr. William James Lennox is a Canadian veterinary legend.

He opened the Lennox Animal Hospital in 1951 and ran it for 13 years. One of the current owners, Dr. James McCleary, was a student of Dr. Lennox’s at Guelph University. He and Dr. Shafik Farag took charge of the Lennox Animal Hospital in 1998.

The Lennox Animal Hospital offers all of the services, products and amenities that boast a worthy veterinary clinic. It is a full-service animal hospital, providing everything from vaccinations and exams to dentistry and surgeries. This is, according to Michelle Lamb, practice manager at the hospital, standard in animal hospitals, but Lennox takes unparalleled care of their equipment.

“This is one of the things you should look for when searching for a hospital,” said Lamb.

“It’s one of those things that not many people know to look for, actually.”

The amenities that people do know to look for in their animal hospital, like quality care, is the excelling point of Lennox. That feeling after an appointment of confusion and of being pushed into something we do not fully understand is all-too familiar, both with our pets and ourselves, said Lamb. Lennox Animal Hospital makes a conscious effort to ensure their clients understand exactly what is going on with their pets.

“We take time with our clients,” said Lamb. “If they need a longer appointment, we will accommodate them.”

Whereas many other animal hospitals have 15-minute exam appointments, Lennox Animal Hospital has 30-minute exam appointments, to give their clients the time they need to know what is going on. “If the exam appointment, for example, is going to take 40 or 50 minutes, we won’t charge the client extra for it,” said Lamb. “We want them

to really understand everything about their pet.”

“We genuinely treat all of our clients as our extended family members,” said Dr. Farag, D.M.V., veterinarian at Lennox Animal Hospital. “We treat all of our clients’ pets like they are our own.”

That is, for Lamb, the best part of working at Lennox Animal Hospital. “You really get to know the clients. I can’t tell you how many times we see them, and their families.”

Like family, Lennox Animal Hospital will check up very often on their clients’ pets. They call for a follow-up after every visit to see how the pet is doing.

“After a couple of days on a changed food, for example, we will call to see how your pet is doing,” said Lamb.

Lennox Animal Hospital is located at 1800 Jane St. For more information call 416-247-5454 or visit www.lennoxanimalhospital. com. Lennox Animal Hopsital takes calls until 11 p.m.

If the answer is “yes”, Jillian Price, Chief Audiologist of ListenUP! Canada, recommends that you schedule a free, no obligation hearing assessment. “The impact of hearing loss on quality of life is significant.

An untreated hearing loss causes needless stress, anxiety and embarrassment. It may also lead to self-imposed isolation and even depression.”

ListenUP! is requesting your support for the National Campaign for Better Hearing – An initiative to help all Canadians over the age of 60 get a free baseline hearing test and begin annually monitoring their hearing health. In 2015, more than 200 hearing clinics donated $2.00 for every hearing test they performed in order to provide hearing aids for those who couldn’t afford them. They surpassed their goal of raising over $100,000 for hearing aids, so this year they pledge to donate $4.00 for every hearing test in order to raise over $250,000!

WHY DO I HEAR BUT NOT UNDERSTAND? Did you know that 47% of adults age 60-79 have hearing loss?1 Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea, speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult.

ListenUP! Canada is the largest hearing aid provider in Ontario with more than 100 convenient locations. All of their hearing centres offer free, no obligation hearing tests by certified hearing professionals, and their latest brand-name, digital hearing aids come with everything you need for three full years, lowest price and satisfaction guaranteed.

Back-up electricity could include solar power, energy storage, community says >>>from page 1 The Eglinton Crosstown LRT itself will reduce pollution by encouraging people out of their cars and onto public transit, Hayes pointed out.

Albanese, along with political colleagues, York South-Weston councillors Frances Nunziata and Frank DiGiorgio, who attended the meeting, have been working at the legislature and at city hall on an energy plan for Mount Dennis. In addition, residents have taken matters into their own hands by bringing community agencies and associations, with the community, for a discussion about clean, green power.

These included the Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA), a national, non-profit association that since 1992 has worked with its members facilitating and promoting solar energy across the country.

“Solar power electricity is growing at a staggering rate,” Ben Weir, policy director at CanSIA, said. “There was 2.5 gigawatts per capita of installed capacity as of 2015.”

Solar power does not pose any carbon risks, nor does it release any greenhouse gas emissions. It acts as a hedge to rising electricity costs, Weir said. Solar power could be an option for Metrolinx’s Crosstown backup facility, Hayes pointed out.

Communities can take part through the Feed-In Tariff (FIT) Program, which was implemented in 2009 as part of the Ontario Green Energy Act to ‘encourage and promote greater use of renewable energy sources,’ such as wind and water power. The program is available to projects with an electricity generating capacity of more than 10 kilowatts.

They can also become equity members of an energy co-operative. FIT enables private individuals or companies to create renewable energy

facilities and sell the power that’s produced at a fixed and partially subsidized cost over a contract term.

Teddy Chettiar, a spokesperson for S&C Electric Canada Ltd., which specializes in “electric power switching and production products and services,” spoke about energy storage, in particular through batteries.

“Energy storage allows you to take electricity off the grid, store it, and put it back on the grid at the optimal time,” he said.

Mount Dennis could be the site of the first community-owned energy storage project, Chettiar said.

“It doesn’t have to be utility owned,” Chettiar said.

A woman who said she lives about 200 metres from the former Kodak lands asked if residents should be concerned if an 18 megawatt battery is installed in the neighbourhood.

Chettier assured no, adding that some simply look like little transformer boxes. The technology is the same as a cellphone battery.

The storage doesn’t all have to be in one place either. Batteries can be spread out, along a train corridor, for example, Chettiar said.

Local politicians assured community members that they would be kept in the loop as to the outcome of discussions between Toronto Hydro and Metrolinx.

Two men have been arrested in multiple historical sexual assault investigations involving underage victims in Toronto, including one baby.

Ochieng Murray, 38, and Jermaine Budgeon, 37, both of Toronto, were arrested earlier this month.

Murray is charged with three counts of sexual assault, sexual interference, forcible confinement and threatening death. Budgeon is charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement.

Police say they are concerned there may be more victims.

15-year-old victim Officers allege that in 1998 two men got a 15-year-old girl intoxicated and prevented her from leaving an apartment where they sexually assaulted her.

Police also allege that in 2003 one man sexually assaulted a threemonth-old baby girl in the Jane Street and Trethewey Drive area.

Then earlier this year, police say the same man sexually assaulted a 32-year-old woman and threatened to kill her.

From 1991 to 1994, Murray lived in the Keele Street and Lawrence Avenue West area. He was arrested July 12. He was scheduled to appear in court on July 25.

Budgeon was arrested July 14 and was scheduled to appear in court the day of his arrest.

A sexual assault is any form of unwanted sexual contact. It includes, but is not limited to, kissing, grabbing, oral sex and penetration.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-1200, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com, text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637), or Leave A Tip on Facebook.
