Cheer on waterfront marathon runners Sunday’s Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon will bring more than just world-class runners to the city, it will also include some heavy doses of community spirit.

The Neighbourhood Challenge was created 12 years ago as a way for race organizers to give back to the communities the marathon passes through. >>>LOCAL, page 9

Blake Street Junior Public School needs your help to win $100,000 for a new natural playground.

Helping out is as easy as clicking on the east-end school’s AVIVA Community Fund page at www.avivacommunityfund.org/ ideas/acf32500 from now until Oct. 23 and voting daily.

“It would take us easily 10 years to raise $100,000,” said Carla Peacock, whose children Xavier and Maria-Laura both attend Blake JPS, located just west of Jones Avenue and north of Gerrard Street East.

A member of the parent council, Peacock said the diverse school relies heavily on grants and donations for improvements as more than half of its pupils come from

families with annual incomes below $30,000.

Winning the $100,000 would mean Blake JPS’ 300-plus students – 150 of whom are in kindergarten – would have a great new space to play and learn, she said.

“The kids really need it,” said Peacock, adding the new playground would also be well used by children at the school’s daycare, as well as kids in the community after school, on weekends and holidays.

In late August, she learned about the AVIVA grant and with the help and support of parents, students and educators submitted an application.

As of Tuesday, Oct. 13, nearly 3,000 people had voted for the new playground, which would be located on the west side of the school.

Beaches Reads talks books at local libraries Area residents are invited take part in the second of four free book discussions for the 2015 edition of Beaches Reads, an annual series where area residents are invited to read a

particular book and then come together at one of four local libraries to talk about it in a group setting.

The next discussion will take place Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m.

at the Beaches Library, 2161 Queen St. E., just west of Lee Avenue.

Working for real, lasting change.

An open letter from Matthew Kellway As your Member of Parliament, as the NDP’s Military Procurement Critic and as the NDP’s Urban Affairs, Infrastructure and Deputy Transport Critic, I have worked hard to clear the way, to pave the way and, always, to point the way to a fairer, sustainable Canada with a prosperity more equally shared.

on october 19th re-elect

for Beaches—East York

We are no longer recognizable to the world. More importantly, most of us don’t see ourselves reflected in our government. We have a government unmoved by the plight of millions abroad and indifferent to the struggles of so many here at home.

We have a government that claims to be strengthening Canadian citizenship by creating a second class of citizen. We have a government that claims to be preserving our rights and freedoms by taking them away. A government that talks about Canadian values but refuses an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women.

A decade of damage has been done and must be undone. It is time for change.

Not to a Liberal Party that shrank from the Conservatives and voted in support of Bill C-51.

Not to a Liberal Party that promises more deficits then more cuts to bring their budget back into balance.

We’ve seen this game before – over and over again. It brings us back to where we started – but deeper in debt.

We need a sustainable, progressive future – for lasting change. That means the NDP.

We’ll ensure access to affordable daycare for up to $15 a day.

We’ll provide stable predictable funding for our cities — including $3.8B annually for municipal infrastructure and transit and an additional $1.3B annually dedicated solely to public transit.

We’ll address global warming in a meaningful way – as we must do.

We’ll put in place universal drug coverage.

We’ll lift seniors out of poverty with improved pensions and health care.

We can’t build this kind of future lurching from deficits to cuts, election to election.

Real change – lasting change – has to be built on a fiscally sustainable plan.

1803 Danforth Avenue Toronto, ON M4C 1J2

This is what’s possible. This is what I’ve been working for and what I’ll continue to work for – real, lasting change that fulfills the promise of this country.

Hawley remembered as fighter for social services JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Toronto has lost one of its most passionate and devoted city-builders with the passing of long-time Leslieville resident Nancy Ruth Hawley.

Hawley died Friday, Oct. 2 after a courageous two-plus year battle against acute myeloid leukemia.

She was 58.

Access to affordable housing and healthcare, especially for women and children, were particularly close to Hawley’s heart. Having had a tough childhood, she knew what it was like to live without and wanted to do everything she could to better the lives of marginalized and vulnerable people.

Over the years, Hawley had worked and volunteered for a number of health care, civil and social service agencies including La Leche League, the City of Toronto, St. Michael’s Hospital, St.

Photo/COURTESY

Nancy Hawley, a long-time Leslieville resident and community volunteer, died earlier this month at age 58.

Joseph’s Health Centre, East End Community Health Centre, Toronto East General Hospital, PARC, and Stop 103 to name a few.

“Affordable housing was, I think for her, her real heartbeat. I think she had a visceral understanding of what it was like to live in need,” said Hawley’s step-daughter, Kathleen Sandusky, during a recent interview.

Balmy Beach school fall fair Sunday

Hawley had also served as the president and CEO of Neighbourhood Concepts, a non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of affordable home ownership. One of the most notable projects she championed was the East Yorker condominium at Donlands and Cosburn avenues. Sadly, Hawley’s failing health led to WoodGreen Community Services stepping in to make the development a reality.

“That (project) wouldn’t have happened without Nancy’s initiative,” said Brian F. C. Smith, WoodGreen’s former president and CEO. Hawley also had a hand in helping with the future redevelopment of the former Riverdale Anglican Church on Gerrard Street East at Leslie Street. WoodGreen has also since taken over this project, which is slated to become affordable housing for seniors.

In recent years, Hawley had

been involved in a number of local issues notably the fight against the construction of the light rail vehicle storage and maintenance facility at Lake Shore Boulevard East and Leslie Street.

A devoted history buff, she had researched the former Riverdale Hospital, which is now known as Bridgepoint Active Healthcare, as well as the New Edwin Hotel, AKA First Step to Home Housing – a residence for men, 55 years of age and older who are street involved, homeless and/or have a history of unstable housing.

Hawley had also studied the Carlaw-Dundas corridor.

Her cancer fight stopped her from studying the history of the former Broadview Hotel.

Sandusky said she’ll always remember Hawley as a “marvelous person and force of nature behind a lot of social services, particularly in the east end.”

“As we plan her memorial, we’ve all found ourselves with the impulse to call Nancy to ask what to do next. She was always the organizer of our family events, marshaling us into action,” she wrote on her Facebook page just a few days after Hawley’s death.

“In her memory, please strike up a conversation with a stranger. Win a swearing contest. Show up on the doorstep of a struggling friend with a quiche. Attend a community meeting to ask an uncomfortable question. Translate your beliefs into action.”

A reception for Hawley took place the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 9 at the Humphrey Funeral Home near Bayview and Davisville avenues.

Hawley leaves behind her husband Gus Sandusky, children Ester, Eli, Kathleen and James, grandchildren Lucas and Calen, mother Florence and siblings Jackie, Hugh, Lynda, Mary and James, and many dear friends.

an there be too much of a good thing? This summer and fall’s 11-week federal election campaign makes a persuasive argument when it comes to democracy.

The campaign that began in the dog days of August is now nearly finished. Some readers will have already cast their ballots in advance polls over the Thanksgiving weekend. The rest of us will put this campaign to rest Oct. 19. And then it will be done: Canada will have a new government, or at least a new set of party caucuses that will be empowered to sort out who that new government will be.

And what for the rest of us? Well, we are probably in for a long period of recovery this jumbo-sized campaign our view from that has been notable for its vitdivisiveness.

Get out and riolForand two-and-a-half months, vote for your well-funded political parties have been flooding our attention with values Oct. 19 awful assertions, often about one another, and all too often about ourselves. This may or may not win an election, but it certainly corrodes a country. Canadians have held a view of this country as inclusive and welcoming.

While none of us are naïve enough to assume bigotry is absent, we have managed through, if nothing else, our legendary good manners, to hold that bigotry at least somewhat in check. We’ve done so also with the help of our leadership, who have through our history celebrated the country’s diversity, and gently chided outlying purveyors of hate, fear and division.

Through this long election, we have been without that sort of leadership, or indeed any leadership. The Conservative government has rested in caretaker mode, busily defending itself against two strong contenders in the Liberals and the New Democrats. We are rudderless in this storm of ugliness.

It’s something we can all consider as we cast our ballots. Are we choosing based on our own values, our own hopes for our federation, our communities and our families? Or are we slipping into fear and disdain and basing our choices on that?

What motivates us may not make a difference to the outcome of this election. But it behooves us to remember: in making up our minds about our government, we are also making up our minds about ourselves. Please remember to vote Oct. 19.

letter

Government ads must deliver substance To the editor: Each week more than 1,000 English and French community newspapers – including the nine published by Metroland Media Toronto, which is a member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association – go about the business of telling stories that matter to the communities they serve.

We are at your rinks and schools. We are at your school board and council meeting.

We are at the scene when tragedy strikes. We celebrate your milestones. Our job is to cover your community. And we are good at it.

We are in towns big and small. Some community newspapers circulate well in excess of 100,000 copies. Some are in the hundreds. It may surprise you that each week, more than 20 million copies of community newspapers are distributed across the country.

Independent research shows that more than 70 per cent of Canadians read their community paper.

Despite our collective

strength, ours is a medium easy to ignore. Because we focus on Canada one community at a time, we lack the sex appeal of other media. We’ve seen our share of federal government advertising gradually erode over the years. Our regional and national associations have met with government MPs, opposition MPs, cabinet ministers and senior bureaucrats to promote our case. We are always met with courtesy and a promise that things will get better.

Well things are not getting better.

So despite it being contradictory to everything we believe in journalistically, the time has come to tell you. In short, the federal government is all but ignoring your community newspapers. We believe this means the federal government is ignoring you and your community’s right to be informed about programs and services offered by the Government of Canada. In the last fiscal year, the federal government spent $75 million on advertising.

More than $26 million of that went to TV ads, while another

$15.5 million went to Internet advertising – an industry dominated by American-based companies like Google and Facebook. Creating ads and paying ad agencies ate away another $10 million. Radio advertising cost just under $7 million.

By comparison, community newspapers saw a paltry $867,000 in total advertising from Ottawa – or an average of about $25 per week per newspaper. The way in which your government uses your money to communicate with you is very telling. TV and Internet ads work to build brand, not to inform. Your community newspaper generates debate and serves as a forum for discussion – and is also one of the few places where local MPs actually receive editorial coverage outside election season.

The federal government knows it, too. The Prime Minister Stephen Harper government spent $1.25 million with a company called NewsCanada to create its own stories, stories it offers for free to print and broadcast outlets. The majority

of these government-approved stories are never published.

But you and I paid for them.

It is disconcerting the federal government spent 50 per cent more creating its own news than the total advertising buy in Canadian newspapers.

The federal government strategy appears to be that it’s more important to make pretty ads than to put relevant information about programs in front of readers of community newspapers. They’re telling you they’d rather give your tax dollars to Facebook and Google than Canadian-based companies that invest in local journalism. If the federal government continues to ignore our community newspapers, some communities may lose them. When that happens a vital voice is silenced.

If you believe, as we do, that government should invest in meaningful communication with citizens through community newspapers, we ask you to help us by contacting your local candidates.

have a project for you, good reader, as you head out to vote, and just as important, as you head back home to get on with the next few years of your life.

Be thoughtful.

This shouldn’t be a project, and for many readers it needn’t be. But after having spent a good chunk of both the summer and the fall in an election campaign that for a good many voters seems to have turned on women’s fashion at citizenship ceremonies, it is clearly necessary for a large portion of us. It’s not surprising that it should be so: across North America, the political discourse over the past few years has veered consistently away from thoughtfulness and toward the knuckle-headed.

Donald Trump is currently riding high on the greasy fingers of a mosh-pit of knuckle-heads in the Republican primaries.

He may well have gotten some ideas from former

david nickle the city mayor Rob Ford’s 2010 campaign that was propelled by knuckle-headed rhetoric. And no wonder that Stephen Harper and the Conservatives took the knuckle-headed lesson to heart in the latter half of their campaign, with the business of the niqab, the “barbaric practices” snitch line and so on. We’ll see just how well that decision works out for them on election day. It certainly seemed to have an impact in the polls, at least for a while, as a certain demographic of voter abandoned thoughtful consideration for fear and loathing.

The real question is what kind of message that strategy reinforces on both the electorate and the clever strategists looking to elect future governments.

If the Conservatives don’t prevail, then the impact will

be limited on strategists.

After all, when Doug Ford ran from a problematic place for mayor in 2014, he came closer than you’d think to beating John Tory, but couldn’t quite make it.

Rob Ford, had he been well enough to run, might have prevailed for a second term, and he might yet prevail should he choose to run in the 2018 campaign.

In the U.S. Republican primaries, Trump might prevail with his anti-immigrant rhetoric in winning the nomination, but he also might not, and as to his chances of actually winning the American presidency...

Ultimately, that’s not up to us.

What is up to us is make it a project to be thoughtful, when clever people are offering serious temptation to be the opposite. We can start right after the election or better, we can start right now.

>>>from page 1 Tom Allen will be hosting all of the library visits.

Presented by the Kingston Road Village Concert Series in conjunction with the Toronto Public Library, the theme of this year’s Beaches Reads is the Bohemians in Brooklyn.

The featured book is Carson McCullers’ The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

Beaches Reads will culminate with an original cabaret that draws its inspiration in

some way from the book. The concert, which is based on the imagined goings-on at the house in Brooklyn where composer Benjamin Britten, author Carson McCullers, poet W. H. Auden and stripper Gypsy Rose Lee all shared digs for one year, will feature original songs by pianist, singer and composer Bryce Kulak, singer Patricia O’Callaghan, harpist Lori Gemmell and author/stor yteller Tom Allen.

It will take place Sunday, Nov. 8 at 1:30 p.m. at Kingston Road United Church, 975 Kingston Rd., at Scarborough Road.

The Kingston Road Village Concert Series is an ongoing series of concerts held at Kingston Road United Church that helps raise funds for critical building repairs at the church.

TTCRIDERS GRADES PARTIES’ PRIORITIES Ahead of next week’s election, TTCriders has released a report card assessing the transit improvement plans of the main three parties, and the results are less than impressive.

None of the Conservatives, Liberals or NDP received a satisfactory rating for their respective plans with the Conservatives taking particular heat – no surprise given the party and Prime Minister Stephen Harper are often in the group’s crosshairs – for underfunding local transit.

w

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT The Liberals and NDP hardly rate any better and TTCriders takes both parties to task for not taking into account the cost of operating new transit in their election platforms.

LAYS OFF TTC TWITTER BANTER wDART

The baseball playoffs are well underway but the trash talk has been rather light from both the TTC and Arlington, Texas-based DART. The TTC’s Brad Ross did try to initiate a bit of banter by tweeting at DART ahead of last weekend’s games in Arlington for the continuation of the American League Divisional Series between the Blue Jays and Rangers, if it was OK for visiting Toronto fans to bring “real”, i.e. Canadian, beer into the ballpark. DART however didn’t take the bait.

top BIKE LANE SUPPORTER VISITS T.O. wNYC’S

A famed New York City public works civil servant, responsible for implementing a record expansion of bike lanes in the Big Apple, will visit Toronto for an upcoming talk.

Jeanette Sadik-Khan rose to prominence as the city’s transportation commissioner under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, holding that post until 2013. Under her watch New York more than doubled its bike lane network and famed Times Square became a pedestrian plaza.

Construction also began on the city’s first subway line, the Second Avenue Subway, in nearly a century.

Sadik will take part in a fireside chat with Toronto chief city planner Jen Keesmaat at an event hosted by the Metcalf Foundation on Dec. 1 at the Isabel Bader Theatre.
