Olympian showered with love at hospital gathering FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com The crowd quickly formed a line in front of Khamica Bingham, eager to shake her hand, give her a hug, and express admiration for the Olympic track athlete who is back on home soil after competing in Rio. Bingham, who grew up in Brampton and lives in Caledon, was met with showers of congratulatory praise during an informal meet and greet at Humber River Hospital Tuesday, where her mother, Velma, works as a medical word processor.

Dressed in a black, red, and white Nike Canada zip-up, black jeans, and black and white Adidas shoes, with her curly hair pulled into a ponytail, the 22-year-old happily posed for pictures and chatted with dozens of well-wishers outside of the Keele Street and Hwy. 401 hospital’s south piazza entrance.

Two vanilla cakes, decorated with Canadian flags and a message of “Welcome Home, Khamica! #TeamCanada @micabingham

Canadian Olympian Khamica Bingham (middle), who just competed in Rio, has a meet and greet at her mom Velma’s employer Humber River Hospital.

#Rio2016”, were sliced and handed out.

Competing in her first Olympic Games, Bingham, along with Phylicia

George, Kimberly Hyacinthe, and Crystal Emmanuel, placed seventh in the 4x100 metre relay.

“Now that I’m home it’s starting to

sink in,” Bingham said of the Olympic experience.

“When I was there, I had a job to do. Once I’m home, and done, it’s celebration time.”

Bingham, who is going into her third year of communications studies at York University, said she was “happy” with her team’s relay performance, noting it’s a young group.

She did have to make slight changes to her training in Rio, including napping, to make sure she was alert for the late night races.

Though she didn’t really leave the athlete’s village to explore during her time in Brazil, that didn’t mean she didn’t find ways to entertain herself – and have a close encounter with the world’s fastest man.

A games room provided much needed relaxation, and while watching a track meet on a television inside the lounge, a very familiar face walked by.

“Usain Bolt was sitting right there,” she said, motioning a few feet away.

“He said hi. I was like (shy voice), ‘hi’.

I had seen him before, but this was

my first encounter with him.”

And once her races were over and done with, she celebrated with McNuggets. Since returning home, Bingham was welcomed back with a big family barbecue, and has spent her time shopping before school starts.

“It’s a dream come true,” she said of competing in the Games.

“I’ve dreamed about being an Olympian since I was little. It’s amazing. I can’t describe it in words. It’s not just something for myself, but for my country. There is pressure, but it’s exciting.”

So can we expect to see her on the track at the 2020 Tokyo Games?

“Definitely,” she said. “I’ll be 26, which is the peak for female track athletes. I’ll be at my strongest and fastest.”

Velma, who cheered on her daughter from home, said she was proud Bingham achieved her Olympic goal.

“It’s amazing to see her dream come true right in front of her face,” she said.

Organic farmer shares knowledge at community church FANNIE SUNSHINE fsunshine@insidetoronto.com As the Chinese proverb goes, give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Or, in Philip Jung’s words, teaching people how to grow organic gardens and feed themselves is one of the best forms of self-preservation.

An organic farmer, Jung wanted to share his knowledge with members of Young Nak Korean Presbyterian Church of Toronto, where he worships.

Those members then formed the group Mission Clay Urban Farmers, teaching organic farming on church missions to impoverished communities.

But Jung not only wanted to share his organic farming expertise with those less fortunate, but also within his own community.

Under Jung’s leadership, the Victoria Park and McNicoll avenues church secured a roughly 5,000 sq. ft. plot of land from the City of Toronto at nearby Shawnee Park on Cherokee Boulevard to give the opportunity

to church members, and neighbourhood residents, the chance to grow their own organic produce.

Soil was recently tilled and a fence is expected to go up by the beginning of September.

A black fabric weed barrier was laid down by the city on Monday.

“It’s very important, organic food,” Jung said.

“I want to share my experience. I like to teach my experience and knowledge.”

Jung, who has successfully grown more than 20 different vegetables in his own 1,000 sq. ft. backyard garden, including sweet potatoes, spinach, cucumber and lettuce, said he plans to plant garlic in the community garden come November, followed by tomatoes for next year’s harvest.

And if nearby residents are interested in having their own section in the community garden, they just need to get in touch with the church, Jung said, adding he’s planning to hand out flyers to neighbouring homes in the coming weeks. The sizes of personal plots have yet to be determined.

Fannie Sunshine/METROLAND

Organic farmer Philip Jung works the field at Shawnee Park in North York where a community garden was set up by members of Young Nak Korean Presbyterian Church of Toronto where he worships and teaches.

Jung is also offering a free eight- to 10-week organic farming course at the church in the spring and fall for those who are interested in growing their own food but don’t know

how, he said.

“We need community gardens in all parks,” he said.

Make the most of the unofficial end of summer

Write us

T

oday marks the start of a new month and the unofficial end of summer.

And what a summer it was. Heat and humidty and long, sunny days. Patios packed with patrons, and pedestrians taking in the sights across our city and beyond.

The exceptional weather was an uncommon trend for Toronto, but one that was welcomed (mostly) throughout the last few months.

Plans are no doubt being made for the Labour Day long weekend. The weather appears it will cooperate, with sun and warmth showering most of the Greater Toronto Area.

The season’s change is no time be sad, though.

Instead, relish in the warm Our VieW weather expected.

Relish in one last great weekend New seasons with friends and family. Relish in the chance for one final road trip bring new before school starts.

There’s certainly no shortage of experiences things to do in Toronto.

The CNE is on until Labour Day and you can take in the 67th annual Canadian International Air Show as it soars over Lake Ontario.

The annual Labour Day Parade in Toronto takes place Monday on University Avenue.

GREAT LiViNG

If your weekend doesn’t include any social gatherings or last-minute excursions, just take the time to celebrate living in a great city like Toronto.

And just because summer’s ending, the fun doesn’t stop – it carries on throughout the year.

From walks to enjoy the fall colours, visits to the apple orchard to select the best fruit for some seasonal canning or baking, to skiing and skating, there’s lots to look forward to in the coming months.

For instance, the Toronto International Film Festival brings stars and movie fans from around the world to our city this month. There’s also Nuit Blanche in October, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in November and the 112th annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade also in November.

Then it will be a new year and not long after the season will change once again from fall to winter.

The goal is to change along with the seasons, finding beauty in everything that is around us, but most importantly in ourselves.

Scarborough-Rouge River misstep reveals PC party sex-ed rift Voters in Scarborough-Rouge River will be casting ballots today in the byelection to replace Liberal MPP Bas Balkisoon – and here’s hoping that by now most of them are clear on at least one key point: Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown is not planning on scrapping the controversial sexeducation plan introduced

by Kathleen Wynne.

Early voters – about 4,500 of them who voted in advance polls from Aug. 20 to 26 – can be excused for a bit of confusion. On the weekend, a letter went out from PC candidate Raymond Cho’s campaign, claiming Brown had a very different plan: that the PCs would, if they prevailed in the 2018 provincial election, scrap the whole thing.

On Monday, Brown was forced to clarify, and he did, in an essay published in the Toronto Star. “It was a mistake for a letter to go out to Scarborough-Rouge River voters saying I would

david nickle the city “scrap” the updated curriculum. This is not my view. This is not what I will do.”

What he would do, wrote Brown, is consult on future additions to the curriculum. The local campaign parsed those words, somehow, to mean that he would also get rid of what was there.

It’s a pretty big shift on the part of the ground campaign. Brown was, after all, on record firmly as supporting Wynne’s sex-education plan, in spite of protests from some parents who are fearful of its frank inclusion of subjects such as LGBTQ and trans-gender issues, masturbation, consent and contraception.

Such a shift might, indeed, convince some of those parents living in the riding to vote for

Progressive Conservative candidate Raymond Cho. Of course, Brown has made it clear that he doesn’t want votes on that basis. Based on his own leadership, it would be duplicitous, and it’s to his credit that he’s unwilling to win an election that way.

What this summer byelection misstep does show is what could remain an existential rift in the Progressive Conservative party heading into the main game in 2018: the gap between a socially conservative wing of the party, and the fiscally conservative, socially centrist wing that dominated during Bill Davis’ Blue Machine era last century and still held sway to a degree during the more tumultuous Mike Harris years in the late 1990s and early aught.

Ontario’s PCs have been in the middle of a tug of war since that time. John Tory tried and failed to achieve a mandate, pulling the party back to the

centre. Tim Hudak likewise failed to bring the party back to power by pulling much farther to the right.

Whatever the outcome of today’s byelection in Scarborough-Rouge River, Brown will have to decide how he will lead through the main game in 2018.

The Cho campaign in Scarborough-Rouge River (managed, it should be noted, by former city councillor and mayoral candidate Doug Ford) has made it clear that there may be an appetite, on the ground in Scarborough at least, for a hard-right, socially conservative pendulum swing.

And even if there’s not that much appetite on the ground…clearly, there is, as there ever has been, a powerful hunger within the party itself.

On that, there should be no confusion.

adopter who will give him clear and consistent interaction and training,” said Pam Keetch, adoption coordinator for Tiny Paws Dog Rescue Canada, adding “once he understands you, he’s an eager-to-please pup”. The key to success with Zeus is exercise. It makes him a happier, calmer and more manageable boy. He has learned to walk well on a leash and although walks alone are not sufficient to expel his energy, he enjoys them and is learning social etiquette. He takes time to warm to new people and dogs when out on walks. In his foster home, he shares his toys and food with his dog buddies. “We feel that a calm household with a work-fromhome and active adopter living in a house with a fenced back yard would be his ideal home,” Pam says.

From left to right: Donald Trump attends the April 2012 opening of the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto. Then-Mayor Rob Ford is surrounded by media and supporters while making his way through the crowd during Ford Fest in Thomson Memorial Park on July 22, 2014.

Comparing two controversial campaigns DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com A businessman whose success stems from inherited wealth, whose opinion tends toward the blunt and controversial, and whose celebrity makes a populist-fuelled run for high office a real possibility.

Remind you of anyone?

If you said real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, congratulations: you’re alive on this planet in 2016.

If you said the late former Toronto mayor and councillor Rob Ford… well, congratulations too. You were around for at least some of the controversial mayor’s term of office, and may even remember his juggernaut campaign to win the mayoralty in 2010. And looking at both campaigns, six years apart, you might think these two campaigns are hitting many of the same marks – that Rob Ford’s 2010 decisive win against well-funded Liberal George Smitherman might provide instruction to Trump’s attempt to best wellfunded Democrat Hillary Clinton. You might think that in August 2016. But really?

Nick Kouvalis, the Conservative pollster who took over Ford’s own faltering campaign in July of 2010, says it’s more complex.

There are some similarities – but there are key differences between Ford and Trump that could turn out to be deal-breakers, in almost every area. Here are five of them:

to help with small issues. “He did all the phone calls but he was specifically well-known as a guy not putting up with waste and mismanagement.”

2

The Base: Kouvalis concedes that Ford’s base – the group of mostly suburban voters who eventually became known as Ford Nation – and the base of supporters attending Trump’s rallies come from the same source: “People who are just really pissed off. That’s sort of the same, people who can’t get ahead as hard as they work.”

One difference, though, is that Ford’s base was multi-ethnic; Trump so far has extended his appeal to mostly white voters, aided by consistently racist rhetoric. And that, said Kouvalis, is a mistake.

3

The Gaffes: Both campaigns have dealt with missteps and scandals, but Kouvalis says that

Trump is in a worse position because most of his problems arise from missteps on the campaign trail – insulting the Khan family, suggesting a judge with Mexican heritage was unqualified to rule on his case are two examples.

Ford’s problems – a drunk driving case from many years past in Florida, or a tape in which he appeared to discuss helping a supporter buy street-level OxyContin – were in the past.

“People don’t care about things in the past.

They do kind of care about things that are said in the moment.”

4

The Ground Gam e: On this, there is no comparison. Led by Kouvalis, Ford’s campaign team pushed hard to build a database based on Ford’s own records of phone calls he’d returned and, later, based on robocalls.

By election day, the campaign knew who their supporters were, where they lived, and how likely they were to come out and vote.

Trump, says Kouvalis, “has got nothing.

We’re talking about a national race. I just

1

The Brand: As mentioned up top, both men are outsiders with private sector bona fides.

But where Trump is famous for living in gold-plated luxury and arrogantly firing those who don’t measure up, Ford spent a decade as a city councillor in Etobicoke, doing the opposite.

“He had 10 years at City Hall,” says Kouvalis, who notes that Ford was also famous for returning constituents’ phone calls and trying

don’t know how you can have nothing. Hillary Clinton has 700 paid staff in a building.”

5

The Co m petitio n : Here, Kouvalis says, there are similarities. While Trump is behind in nearly every poll, in former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton he is facing an opponent who is well funded but historically unpopular among voters.

Ford was in similar circumstances, vis-àvis former Liberal Cabinet Minister George Smitherman. Kouvalis maintains that unpopularity pushed Ford’s support to 47 per cent – higher than anyone had expected. And he said that Clinton’s unpopularity could in the end be the one thing that might help Trump recover.

“He’s still got three months,” says Kouvalis.

“He doesn’t have to bring it back that much – he’s behind five points nationally and that’s nothing.”

What would Kouvalis advise Trump to do?

What Ford did in 2010: stay on message, listen to his advisors and never, ever ad-lib.

Do that, says Kouvalis, and the Republican campaigns downstream will start doing the groundwork that Trump’s campaign hasn’t yet begun. And ultimately? Take the lesson from Ford.

“Ford and Trump are different because Ford knew why he wanted to be the mayor and Ford was also willing to learn. He was humble and Trump isn’t. Trump knows what he knows and doesn’t want to ever admit that he doesn’t know something,” said Kouvalis. * In th e da ys followin g th is in terview (con d u cted over Au g. 22-23), Tru m p m a y h a ve shown sign s of followin g this a dvice, soften in g h is position on im m igra tion a n d a ttem ptin g a t lea st n om in a lly to rea ch ou t to Africa n Am erica n voters, a n d h is sta n din gs in polls h a s im proved.

King West closes and welcomes TIFF The grumbles have already started with the announcement this week a stretch of King Street West will close for multiple days during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

The closure transforms King West between University and Spadina avenues into a pedestrian concourse, allowing moviegoers to stroll to the cinema without worry of cars or streetcars.

King closes as of 5 a.m.

Thursday, Sept. 8 and runs through TIFF’s first weekend. John Street will also close, between King and Wellington streets.

So far this year, the OPP says it’s investigated 38 fatal incidents caused by distraction compared to 19 in which an impaired driver was involved.

More than 1,400 people have signed an online petition to add bike lanes to Yonge Street. The campaign, organized by Cycle Toronto, seeks protected lanes between the Waterfront and Bloor Street, which is currently under study. The petition also wants the city to begin studying the potential for extending the lanes north from Bloor Street to Hwy. 401.
