Fo r f o u r t h - g e n e ra t i o n Torontonian John Catto, Remembrance Day is a time to

remember the sacrifices many made for our freedom.

It’s also time of great pride for the 54-year Leaside resident, who has a long and decorated family history of military ser-

vice.

Catto recently sat down with The Mirror to share stories of his family’s 120 years of military service.

“I grew up with a tradition

of military service,” said Catto, whose paternal grandfather, Charles, as well as his greatuncle, Percy Taylor, served with the 48th Highlanders in Toronto >>>FATHER’S, page 3

Community members are invited to attend the unveiling of a commemorative tree in honour of late Danforth East resident Marilyn Ullrich on Sunday, Nov. 13.

Hosted by Community Centre 55 (CC55) and Friends of Stephenson Park, the gathering will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. at Stephenson Park, 61 Stephenson Ave., which is south of Danforth Avenue and west of Main Street.

Ullrich, a 30-year east-end resident, died on Tuesday, May 3 when a SUV driven by a 65-yearold woman, who is believed to be her friend, crashed through the front window of Bold Steps Dance Studio on Spruce Hill Road, just north of Queen Street East.

Two others were injured in the spectacular crash, which happened shortly before a 10 a.m. dance class was set to begin.

Ullrich, a 68-year-old retired medical administrator, was a well-loved and well-known community member who supported events and initiatives at Stephenson Park. She was also part of the seniors program at CC55 and volunteered there.

Ullrich is survived by her >>>ULLRICH, page 11

Red Ribbon campaign launched at police headquarters Victim of drunk driving crash spent three months in hospital, lost husband, daughter Andrew PAlAmArchuk apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com When Brian Wijeratne heard a knock on his door on a Sunday morning in August 2012, he was expecting to see his family.

Instead, he saw a pair of OPP officers who informed him that his father Neil and sister Eleesha were killed in a crash and that his mother was seriously hurt.

“I was told at the door, and that’s when my life just fell apart,” Wijeratne said. “You don’t process that. I went into almost a robotic mode and I started listening to what the police officers were saying and I just did what they said.”

The officers took Wijeratne to Sunnybrook hospital where his mom Antonette was being treated.

“I didn’t even want to go into emergency to see my mom because I knew what I would have to tell her, and when I went in, I couldn’t tell her,” Wijeratne, 23, said in an interview. “Finally the doctors said ‘We’ll tell her if you’re present’ and

I went and held her hand and I told the doctor to tell her and we just cried.”

Antonette spent more than three months in hospital and has permanent injuries.

The crash was caused by an impaired driver heading the wrong way on Hwy. 427.

After the crash, Wijeratne and his mom joined MADD in an effort to raise awareness of drunk driving.

“We want to let people know that this is an issue in Canada. Canada has one of the highest rates of impaired driving in the world,” Wijeratne said. “And it’s the leading cause of criminal death in this country, and we need to act.”

Wijeratne and his mom joined other MADD Toronto volunteers at police headquarters Monday for the launch of the organization’s annual Red Ribbon campaign to promote sober driving during the holiday season.

“My family didn’t consider the fact that there could’ve been an impaired driver on the road that

MADD Toronto president Everilda Ratnakumar encouraged people to tie red ribbons to their vehicles or purses. “It’s just a way to show support. It’s a reminder to not drink and drive and it’s also a tribute to victims of impaired driving.”

Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders said nearly 1,100 people have been arrested for impaireddriving related offences in the city so far this year.

“As a community we are getting better at solving the problem, not by being spectators, but being active participants,” he said. “If you see something, report it. The men and women of the Toronto Police Service are going to enforce.”

This year marks the 29th anniversary of the Red Ribbon campaign.

The ribbons are available from the MADD Toronto office and Allstate Canada offices now and at LCBO stores beginning Dec. 1.

MADD volunteers will also be distributing the ribbons at TTC subway stations during rush hour from Nov. 28 to 30.

Father’s mission flying Handley Page aircraft a source of pride for Catto >>>from page 1 dating all the way back to the late 1890s.

Charles Catto, who died in a canoeing accident in 1912 before he could serve in the First World War, joined the service around 1896 and was a major.

Four of Charles Catto’s five sons also entered the service. Charlie served with the army reserve, while Wilson was a captain with the 48th Highlanders. Kenneth was a corporal with the Signal Corps. John (Catto’s father) joined the Royal Naval Air Service in 1918.

“He was a young daredevil seeking adventure,” Catto said during a recent interview. “He qualified as a pilot and eventually piloted the largest night bomber the air service ever had.”

A great source of pride for Catto’s father, who flew a massive double engine Handley Page aircraft, was a successful night bombing mission that began on Nov. 4, 1918.

During this attack, the Allied Forces dropped 15, 112-pound bombs on Metz, France.

“The Germans gave up the next week,” said Catto. “I think it was a big lark although they must have been terrified out of their skulls.”

John Catto Sr., who returned home to Toronto in the summer of 1919 and studied engineering at the School of Practical Science, went on to serve in the Canadian Air Force until it was disbanded in 1924.

He then transferred over to the Corps of Guides until it too was disbanded.

In 1928, Catto joined the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals and was deployed overseas for a second time serving in the Second World War from June 1940 until the fall of 1945.

“After he went overseas, we didn’t see him until September

Several of Catto’s relatives, including his father and grandfather also served in the military. On front: John Catto with a portrait of his grandfather Charles who served with the 48th Highlanders in Toronto during the First World War. 1945,” recalled Catto. “For six years of my childhood, dad was overseas but we had lots of letters.”

Catto’s father served in France, Belgium, and Holland. He was 46-year-old when he returned home from the Second World War and retired as a Member of the British Empire.

Around the time his father returned home from war, Catto was starting high school. In 1953, while attending University of Toronto Schools (UTS), he decided to join the Canadian Officers Training

Corps where he was allocated to the Signal Reserve Corps.

Over the next 13 years of service, Catto climbed the ranks becoming a lieutenant colonel and commanding the Toronto Reserve Signals.

In 1968, he retired from the Reserve but a decade later was invited back to serve as a staff officer at the District Headquarters at the Moss Park Armoury. In 1981, Catto was invited to move up to the area headquarters at Canadian Forces Base Toronto at

Downsview where he was promoted to full colonel serving as the senior advisor to the Commander of Communication Command and Chief Reserves. He officially ended his service in 1987.

In 1993, Catto was invited back for a second time to serve as the honourary lieutenant colonel for the Signal Regiment. Three years later, he was elevated to the rank of honourary colonel, a role he held until 2003.

“It was a privilege. I really enjoyed it,” said Catto, who for

the last seven or so years has been invited to attend the Remembrance Day ceremony at UTS. “The Signal Corps was a big part of my life. I’m proud of the achievement.”

Catto, who grew up in the York Mills area, has a number of boxes of old photographs and memorabilia from his father and grandfather’s military service safely stored in his home’s basement.

Some of the photos are in excellent condition despite being more than 100 years old.

Legal pot could boost economy I

t’s possible, even likely, that at some point next year, Ontarians will be able to search store shelves for ‘purple haze’, ‘blue dream’ and ‘kosher kush’ marijuana alongside their VQA merlots, sauvignon blancs and moscatos.

Work is well underway to lay the foundation for marijuana legalization in this country, with legislation expected in the spring.

Pot advocates have long argued legalization could give our economy a lift. A new report suggests that lift could surpass anyone’s wildest prophecy.

A study produced by the Deloitte firm – titled Recreational Marijuana: Insights and Opportunities – suggests a legal marijuana industry in Canada could be worth an incredible $22.6 billion – more than the sales of wine, spirits and beer comOur VieW bined.

Deloitte’s research values The business the recreational retail market for weed at between $5 billion of pot could and $8.7 billion annually.

Tack on between $12.7 bilinject billions lion and $22.6 billion for the into Ontario ancillary market (growers, specialty product makers, testing labs and security) and you have what Deloitte calls “a bold new landscape” for businesses and governments.

But that’s not all.

Pot tourism, business taxes, licensing fees and paraphernalia could drive these astronomical projections even higher – high enough to stagger even the most jaded corporate CEO, or perhaps sway those still on the fence over whether or not legal pot is a good idea.

“There hasn’t been anything like this – and granted it wasn’t legislated – but you think of the dot-com … flurry,” Mark Whitmore, vice-chair of Deloitte, told the Toronto Star.

It’s no wonder that some ambitious medical pot entrepreneurs have tried to stake their claims by opening dispensaries long before a bill has been presented to MPs. Legal pot represents an extraordinary opportunity to jump-start our economy, which has been idling for far too long.

Who would have thought that the jolt we needed would emanate from a leafy green herb bearing an unmistakable sweet scent and a sketchy past?

Toronto budget deliberations kick off with trash talk

N

o doubt about it, the big budget fight lies ahead at city

hall.

But for now, the usually unsexy rate-supported budgets – water, solid waste, and the Toronto Parking Authority – are shaping up to be a pretty good opening act for what is sure to be a fraught debate over the operating and capital budgets for Toronto.

The rate budgets were launched a week ago at a Friday morning meeting of Toronto’s budget committee. It was a good-news, bad-news affair.

The good news is that the regular hefty increase to the water rate will be lower in 2017: five per cent, compared to the usual eight to nine per cent.

Those increases had been paying for the upgrading of Toronto’s crumbling underground water infrastructure, and staff feel that Toronto is nearly square.

So toilet flushing will

david nickle the city cost more, but not as much of an increase as last year.

The cost of trash-tossing, however, is a different matter. Staff there are recommending bigger increases than in the past on the garbage bin fees, as well as a host of new ones.

To be honest, the bin fee increases aren’t that big.

The overall increase in the cost is 3.9 per cent, compared to 1.5 per cent each year over the past eight years. The biggest increase, on the extra-large bin as it happens, is $24.34 a year.

The smallest increase is probably the most irksome: $12.73. When the program was introduced and for several years afterward, the city maintained no charge on the wee bins, as a way to reward homeowners who are good at recycling and keeping garbage to a minimum.

And that leads to the really irksome parts of the proposed budget; a host of additional fees, some of which will create more of a disincentive to divert.

Now homeowners who want to try a smaller bin, and recycle more, will be hit with a $25 fee for the bin exchange. The yellowbag system of garbage collection for commercial districts will go up by $1.61 a bag, creating an incentive for businesses to drop the city service and go with a private hauler that won’t necessarily be as concerned about recycling and other diversion.

And there’ll be an $8 per household flat fee for collecting oversized items.

The increases are to pay, in part, for replacement of city-owned garbage trucks – trucks that may, in fact, prove unnecessary if council decides to contract out more or perhaps all of the city’s garbage collection, as it already has in the west end of the city.

Budget chief Gary Crawford indicated Friday that all this fee-charging business won’t make it to council should he have anything to do with it.

“We need to keep the city affordable,” he said outside the meeting.

Presumably that will mean keeping these double-digit increases in check. And doing so shouldn’t be that difficult, given that those digits are loonies and not percentiles.

The next struggle - with Toronto’s mammoth operating and capital budgets - is going to be a much harder fight.

But it is likely to be the same story: staff bringing forward unpalatable options to cut services and hike fees, budget chiefs dropping gauntlets - and councillors, finally, doing their best to sort it out.

Foundation seeking family of Second World War pilot William Falconer Young Joanna Lavoie jlavoie@insidetoronto.com A Netherlands-based foundation working to erect a memorial for missing airmen is looking to connect with the family of a late pilot-officer from Toronto’s east end.

The serviceman in question is William Falconer Young, who was a student at Riverdale Collegiate when he entered the Service in the early 1940s.

Young was born in Toronto on April 19, 1921 and the last known address of his family, dating back to 1942, is 631 Rhodes Ave. The Stichting Missing Airmen Memorial Foundation (SMAMF), which for nearly 40 years has been investigating the Air War over the northern part of the Netherlands, wants to get in contact with Young’s family as there are plans to erect a monument on his behalf in 2017.

The foundation, which

William Falconer Young

strongly believes in keeping the memory of the Air War alive, is aiming to gather as much information as possible about the aircraft and the airmen that came down over the province of Friesland during the Second World War. Over the years, the SMAMF has been in contact with many former airmen, pilothelpers, and other researchers who have helped clear up the fate of pilots who were reported missing in action.

The foundation’s research group, which works closely with the Frisian Museum and Resistance Museum in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, has erected several monuments and exhibitions about the Air War. One of the planes that came down in that area is the Boston W8318 of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Squadron 418. Squadron Leader P.S.Q. Andersen piloted this plane, which crashed near the village of Murmerwoude on May 19, 1942 following an ill-fated air attack on the German airbase of Leeuwarden.

Andersen was the only survivor of the crash. Three other crew members, including Young, were killed in action and buried in the Damwoude cemetery.

Anyone with information about the family of William Falconer Young is asked to email smamf@upcmail.nl or d.drijver@friesmuseum.nl

This week marks the start of yet another public awareness campaign by Toronto police for road safety.

This time around, police are pointing out that out of the 37 pedestrians or cyclists struck and killed this year, the vast majority are seniors.

Until Sunday, Nov. 13, police promise a greater presence in the vicinity of “pedestrian crossovers, crosswalks, intersection...and crossing areas frequented by seniors.”

The police insist they’re not blaming any one group for the deaths of dozens of the city’s most vulnerable population, that every road user, whether behind a wheel or on foot, needs to be vigilant for their own safety. Not picking sides may seem like an improvement to past attitudes - see past comments from police slamming pedestrians for not wearing bright enough clothing or carrying distract-

pedestrians are absolved of all personal responsibility. But to apportion an equal amount of blame on pedestrians without calling to attention the role speed plays in causing fatalities is an argument growing increasingly ludicrous given the realities of our city.

Take a burgeoning population of elderly pedestrians, combine with roads geared to ease of access for automobiles and increasingly ill-equipped to deal with a growing percentage of nonmotorists, and it’s a recipe for death.

No amount of road safety campaigns no matter how well-intentioned will have any impact on the fatality rate without acknowledging the role speed plays. It’s long past time to start playing the blame game.

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT ing mobile devices while crossing the street - but perhaps there needs to be at least some admonishment coming from official sources. Anyone suggesting pedestrians should be seen as equals to motorists is overlooking one fact: speed, as has been shown by study after study, kills. As the 2012 Chief Coroner’s review of pedestrian deaths in Ontario found, speed - and not the colour of one’s clothes - was by far the main determinant in whether one survived being struck. On roads with a posted speed limit higher than 50 kilometres per hour, 67 per cent died; the number dropped to 5 per cent where posted speed limits were less than 50 km/h.

That’s of course not to say
