Not every veteran’s story contains the horrors of war.

Gord Holmes of Scarborough is lucky that way. He signed up wanting to go wherever Canada needed to send him, but during his years in the army there was no fighting overseas.

His stepfather, Phillip Robert Brown, was less lucky.

Both men served in the same regiment, the 48th Highlanders of Canada, but Brown never said much about the war.

‘Once a Highlander, always a Highlander’ >>>from page 1 last week.

“I know the first time I ever came home in my uniform, he cried. I’ll never forget that.”

Holmes’ memories of the military are different.

He enjoyed the training he received so much, he said, he wishes it was mandatory. “It teaches you discipline, it teaches you the social graces, camaraderie, and responsibility.”

It was also a paying job. When Holmes was 17, he had a little experience working in a grocery market, and didn’t want to end up “a punk on the street.”

A lot of his friends had relatives in the army or navy, some of the them in the Highlanders, where Brown said he’d served.

Holmes signed up in 1953. Once he got a taste of military life in camps around Ontario - firing all sorts of weapons, riding in a Sherman tank, blowing things up - he enjoyed it all.

There were still a lot of Second World War vets in the regiment, “a really rowdy crew.” People called him Horizontal Holmes because he could sleep anywhere.

Hurricane Hazel devastated Toronto in 1954, and Holmes was in a photo on the front of the Toronto Star with two other young soldiers.

T h e y w e re w e a r i n g t h e i r Glengarries (woolen cap) and rubber boots, clearing debris from the Humber River Valley.

Holmes and his comrades sifted deep mud with long steel poles, looking for bodies. “We didn’t find a lot of human remains, but we found a lot of livestock - cows, horses, pigs.”

Twice, he trooped the regimental colours for Queen Elizabeth II himself, once to open what is now Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.

He became the sergeant of a mortar platoon. You could get hurt; Holmes remembers a soldier whose

Holmes, who joined up in 1953, says he enjoyed every minute serving with Canada’s army; Above: Holmes displays a photograph Monday of himself (at left) and other soldiers from the 48th Highlanders regiment, clearing debris from the Humber River Valley after Hurricane Hazel struck Toronto in 1954.

face was blasted by a training grenade.

They didn’t wear ear protection; firing those mortars and guns damaged his hearing, but Canada’s Veterans Affairs supplies hearing aids and batteries for life. “Sure enough, they looked after me.”

He never saw his stepfather in uniform. Brown had said he was in the Highlanders, but what he wears in the only picture Holmes has from that time suggests Brown was in another unit, the 70th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

That infantry battalion was used to reinforce others in Europe during 1916, so it’s possible Brown was

assigned to the Highlanders later on.

At the Beach, though, there was no mistaking the damage bullets had done to Brown’s head and shoulder.

He said he’d been at the Battle of the Somme and Vimy Ridge, costly battles in which the 48th Highlanders took part. He also told Holmes he had survived a mustard gas attack.

Like his stepson, Brown was tall.

He never went near a Royal Canadian Legion branch. He was a good man, said Holmes.

His father, Norman Holmes, was also a Canadian veteran, and served during the Second World War, but Holmes knows even less

about that.

“I was only three years old when he left,” he explained, adding by the time his father returned, Holmes’ mother had met someone else, his stepdad. “So I didn’t have much to do with him.”

Holmes believes he was a private in the RCEME, the Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineers, and may have worked to ready vehicles to go overseas during the war.

What’s certain is he’s buried in the military section of Mount Pleasant Cemetery.

After he got out of the army in 1962, Holmes went into sales and worked his way up to be general

manager of Harold Schafer, the company that brought Mr. Bubble to Canada.

He then spent 23 years as a Toronto police court officer, and is still president of the Scarborough Seniors Slo-Pitch League.

Many army friends have passed away, but at age 79, Holmes continues to help with the 48th Highlanders’ Continuing Sergeants Association and its Old Comrades Association.

And on every Nov. 5, Holmes joins a ceremonial parade at Mount Pleasant that ends with a moment of silence in the cemetery. “There’s an old saying, ‘Once a Highlander, always a Highlander.’”

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 combined.

Deloitte’s research values the recreational retail market The business for weed at between $5 billion and $8.7 billion annually. of pot could Tack on between $12.7 bilinject billions lion and $22.6 billion for the ancillary market (growers, into Ontario 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.

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.

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.

TDSB schools introduce daily Indigenous acknowledgments Tara HaTHerly thatherly@insidetoronto.com

in daily announcements at all its schools, though that has not been confirmed.

“For me, every time I hear it, it’s a real source of pride. I think about what that means,” Willowdale Trustee Alexander Brown, also a member of the Aboriginal community advisory committee, said during the meeting. “ We’re e n g a g i n g o u r students in that process of understanding and moving forward,” he added. “I feel truly privileged to be part of the process that welcomes our Indigenous students back into communities.”

The importance of the acknowledgments can’t be overestimated, Dr. Duke Redbird, TDSB curator adviser for Indigenous art and culture, told Metroland Media Wednesday, Nov. 2.

“It’s a triumph of the spirit and the will of a people who have been marginalized for so long,” he said. “Now there’s significant recognition of the contribution, in a historical sense, that we, as the keepers

Students at all Toronto public schools now start each day by acknowledging the Indigenous peoples who originally lived on and cared for the land where the schools now sit.

The acknowledgments were added to morning announcements at Toronto District School Board (TDSB) schools this September. After O Canada plays, the traditional lands are acknowledged.

“I feel this is a very appropriate thing to do, and should probably have been done long before, but it’s wonderful to see that happening,” said Etobicoke-Lakeshore Trustee Pamela Gough, a member of the TDSB’s Aboriginal community advisory committee, during a board meeting Wednesday, Oct. 26.

The Toronto District School Board is believed to be the first school board in Canada to include the acknowledgments

the students across the TDSB have an opportunity to hear that their schools are located on traditional Indigenous territory, which opens up a whole opportunity for discussion.”

The recommendation to have daily acknowledgments in all schools came from the TDSB’s Aboriginal Education Centre, which offers support services for students. The recommendation then passed through the TDSB’s Aboriginal community advisory committee before being unanimously approved by trustees.

The acknowledgments instil pride in all Canadians, not just those of Indigenous descent, noted Redbird, by showing how long and rich Canada’s history is. And they are happening more and more often at a range of events, which gives Redbird great joy.

“It should be done everywhere,” he said. “We’re not trying to retrofit the past, we’re trying to imagine a better future.”

Aboriginal elder Dr. Duke Redbird, the Toronto District School Board’s curator advisor for Indigenous art and culture, speaks at the 2015 grand opening of the TDSB Museum at Eastern Commerce Collegiate.

and caretakers of this continent, we delivered it the way we found it. We took care of it for everybody.

“These lands have been occupied for 12,000 years, as opposed to what used to

be taught, which is that it all happened in 1867,” he added.

“It’s so good for students to know that they are a part of a long history of wonderful things.”

He is proud the TDSB is

leading the way for school boards on the initiative, which can be a springboard for students to explore Canada’s past.

“It’s a big step in the right direction,” he said. “Finally

Campaign needs to confront prejudices within the immigrant community itself Toronto for All. That’s the central message of a public education campaign launched by the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants (OCASI). Its website (torontoforall.ca) states “We work to confront racism, Islamophobia and xenophobia.”

Phase 2 of the campaign, launched last week, focuses on anti-black racism; it followed the first phase that focused on Islamophobia.

Every time I pass a campaign poster hanging in a bus shelter — one of a white man and a black man with the tagline “Quick, hire one,” or one of a white man telling a woman wearing a hijab to “go back where you came from,” to which she replies “Where, North York?” – I think, good on you, OCASI. Noteworthy to me, is it’s being spearheaded by an organization serving immigrants.

Canada’s reputation of being a utopia of multicultur-

FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY • SCARBOROUGH

the ‘racism and xenophobia doesn’t exist here’ narrative.

It’s also important to recognize that immigrants are not exempt from subscribing to the same implicit bias that is tackled in this campaign, whether they bring biases with them, or pick them up from consuming Canadian (and American) media often steeped in stereotypes. Surrounded by immigrant communities in Scarborough, I see this firsthand. If pushed among its own clientele, OCASI’s campaign could prompt immigrants – and organizations serving them – to think critically about their own prejudices.

It may not be all that’s required to truly achieve a “Toronto for all”, but OCASI’s campaign is one step in the right direction.

priya ramanujam MILLENNIAL MIND

alism, combined with promises of a better life, is often used to appeal to people abroad.

The trouble is that what’s often left out – of the sales pitch, of the history classes children of immigrants’ study here and of the mainstream media immigrants consume here – is the fact that things like anti-black racism and Islamophobia are a very real part of that so-called utopia.

Just like the atrocities faced in the past (and present) by Canada’s Indigenous communities.

We have to ensure that immigrants are not just ‘believing the hype’ when it comes to Canada’s diversity.

Yes, parts of it are highly multicultural – no one’s arguing that.

Council approves deal with province to fund SmartTrack DaviD Nickle dnickle@insidetoronto.com Toronto Council has approved a costly deal with Metrolinx to fund part of the construction of six SmartTrack stations on the provincial agency’s Regional Express Rail route, and also pay to operate and maintain the SmartTrack service and new light rail lines.

Council voted in favour of the deal after a daylong debate Nov. 8, with more than 30 of the 44 councillors supporting individual elements of the plan that was delivered from a special executive committee meeting last week.

The deal sees Toronto contribute billions of dollars to a diminished version of Mayor John Tory’s SmartTrack plan and the province’s light rail plan - and

uReport

hinges on Mississauga and/or the Greater Toronto Airport Authority’s willingness to pay $470 million to extend the Eglinton West light rail portion of SmartTrack to Pearson International Airport.

In total, Toronto is responsible for $2.35 billion in capital costs, $60 million over three years for GO Transit’s own capital plan, and ongoing operating and maintenance costs for new light rail lines on Eglinton, Finch and Sheppard Avenues.

It was a deal that many councillors found distasteful, and city staff said was the result of tough negotiations with the province. But Mayor Tory and his supporters on council said it was as good a deal as the city could likely get.

In particular, Tory scoffed

at notions that the province might be held to its old promise to fully fund the new light rail lines in operating costs as well as capital.

“There was never an intention by them to pay that, they confirmed it in their budget and there’s no language in any agreements to enforce it,” he said, and said that sending city staff to Queen’s Park to demand otherwise would have achieved nothing.

But critics on council said the deal as it sits has Toronto paying too much for too little.

“What we have here is a proposal to build six GO stations and to take on the operating and maintenance costs of the Eglinton Crosstown,” said Perks.

“The deal is not good transit.”

Honour veterans on Remembrance Day On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, World War I fighting ceased. The war, which had raged on throughout Europe for a little more than four years, claimed the lives of more than nine million combatants and seven million civilians. The Allies squared off against the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary, and the conflict involved nations from all over the world.

World War II was even more devastating. Ultimately, 100,000 Canadian soldiers lost their lives in these two wars

combined. It is in their honour — and in the name of all the servicemen and women who continue to risk their lives in service of their country — that Remembrance Day was established.

Remembrance Day, sometimes referred to as Armistice Day or Poppy Day, is celebrated each year on November 11.

It is a federal statutory holiday in much of Canada. During the holiday, people pause for two minutes at 11 a.m. to remember the many Canadian soldiers who lost their lives. In addition to the moments of silence and the wearing

of poppies, individuals can commemorate Remembrance Day in the following ways.

• Treat a veteran. Take a soldier out for a meal or pay the restaurant bill anonymously. If a family member or friend is presently in the military or retired from the service, learn his or her interests and plan a special, stress-free day.

• Share a servicemember’s story. Speak with a service person who served in World War II about his or her military service, and chronicle this person’s story into a living history. Encourage

children to take part in learning about this person’s history and experiences.

• Volunteer at a veteran’s association.

Find a department of veteran’s affairs and see what you can do to assist veterans. If you have specialized skills, offer your services free of charge to former soldiers.

• Show your patriotism. Be proud of your heritage and the rich history of the country. Fly the flag and teach children about the country’s founding principles and how much the nation has evolved. Read up on current

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing.

What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups.

As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Hearing sensation!

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Time to start acknowledging role that speed plays on pedestrian deaths 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-

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

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.

Bal Dental provides complete oral health care Bal Dental is a one-stop clinic for everyone, and they really mean it.

Dr. Gus Bal, founder of Bal Dental, has over 20 years of dentistry experience. He graduated from the Boston University Dental School and has been working in Ontario since 2000. He takes a different approach to dentistry by by doing most of dental procedures and surgeries.

Bal Dental prides itself in being a “one-stop” clinic. Any services the customer needs, be it root canal, braces, even implants, they can do it right there in the clinic. Bal does dental surgeries, cosmetic dentistry, and of course provides basic dental care like cleanings and check ups.

“We can do most of dental procedure at our clinic,” said Ruby Sandhu, office manager and wife to Bal. “You can have it all done here.”

Bal Dental takes care of everything under the umbrella of dentistry, from old to young. Along with taking care of every aspect of dentistry, Bal Dental also takes care of every age.

“The whole idea for one place is that we are proud to say that our youngest patient is three years old and oldest is 92 years old,” said Sandhu.

In other words, they do most of dental procedures for all ages.

Bal’s dedication to providing quality care for his patients stems from his passion for dentistry and his skill. “He can do it, and he loves doing it,” said Sandhu. “Bal is very passionate about dentistry and his orthodontic patients are very happy.”

‘Reclaiming the City’ shows the beauty of Rouge Valley Exhibit by Rouge Park’s first official photographer-in-residence opens this week The Rouge National Urban Park on Toronto’s eastern edges contains forests and farm fields, wetlands and busy roads.

Finally taking shape as the first federal park of its kind, the Rouge this year got its first photographerin-residence, Heike Reuse, whose images of its landscapes, wildlife and human visitors are being shown at Beaver Hall Gallery on Toronto’s McCaul Street (in the area of Queen Street West and University Avenue).

A recent graduate of OCAD University, Reuse “is fascinated by wildlife and the idea of nature as an unstoppable force,” and images in her exhibit provide “the perfect opportunity to escape the

city, within the city,” Parks Canada said in a release.

Proceeds from photo sales at the gallery from Nov. 10 to 17 will be donated to the Toronto Wildlife Centre.

Starting from the Rouge River Valley in Scarborough, the park was mostly owned by the province and meant to protect the river from its headwaters to Lake Ontario.

It later added territor y in Markham and Pickering, and the federal government last year declared it to be Canada’s first “urban” national park.

The ‘Reclaiming the City’ photo exhibition can be seen from 7 to 10 p.m. on Nov. 10, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 11 to 17.

Heike Reuse/pHoto

The Rouge River can be seen from a vantage point in Scarborough’s Rouge Valley in this undated image from 2016 taken by the Rouge National Urban Park’s first photographer-in-residence, Heike Reuse. Her work in the park will be shown at the Beaver Hall Gallery in downtown Toronto Nov. 10 to 17. consumer feature

Grace Peacock has been named Editor-in-Chief, Metroland Media Toronto announced this week.

Peacock will direct editorial strategy for the Toronto newsroom, which is responsible for the city’s nine community newspapers and its website, insidetoronto.com.

“We’re fortunate to have a journalist of Grace’s calibre leading our Toronto news team,” Metroland Media vice-president Dana Robbins, Metroland Central region group publisher, said in a statement.

“She’s a passionate, innovative journalist who cares about the communities we serve. I know our readers will be well served by her leadership.”

Peacock had been a managing editor with Metroland Media Toronto for the past eight years.

Her promotion comes three weeks after return-

ing from maternity leave.

Peacock has two boys at home; a four-year-old and a one-year-old.

“Our strength is our connection to our communities, and that will continue,” Peacock said in a statement.

“There’s much opportunity for that to happen through innovative, exciting new ways.

Online, or on mobile devices, our newsroom can keep you informed of local news, issues and all of Toronto’s events any time, anywhere.

“We’ve got a great team in Toronto with much in store, and I can’t wait to get started.”

Earlier this year, the Ontario Community Newspaper Association named Peacock Editor of the Year 2016.

The nonprofit industry association represents more than 300 member newspapers throughout Ontario.

Peacock was project leader

on a Metroland-wide series on seniors and dementia in 2015, which investigated what was being done to prepare for the increase in cases predicted by health professionals. The series profiled people living with dementia, and provided an informative overview of the situation online and in print.

A self-professed history and genealogy buff, Peacock also headed up the Toronto Time Capsule online - an ongoing collection of history articles and columns at insidetoronto. com/history exploring the city’s colourful past.

Peacock worked as a reporter in Caledon, and in the Middle East in Amman, Jordan early in her journalism career.

She holds a Masters in journalism from the University of Western Ontario, and a BA in communications and political science from Wilfrid Laurier University.

Rate-based budgets give water users a break But residents to pay more on their garbage bin rates DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Torontonians will get a break on the increase to their water bills, but will pay more on their garbage bin rates and face a host of new charges for other solid waste management services.

That, at least, is the opening salvo in the debate over Toronto’s rate-based budgets - the first of the 2017 budgets to come before Toronto Council.

The three departments - the Toronto Parking Authority, Toronto Water and Wastewater, and Solid Waste Management - are the only three city budgets that aren’t funded by property taxes. Instead, users are billed directly based on the extent to which they take advantage of the services.

On Friday morning, staff from the three areas presented Toronto’s

Budget Committee with their proposed budgets for 2017.

Water users will get a break on the level of increases, which has been held in the range of nine per cent a year for more than a decade, as the city has worked to repair and upgrade its aging water infrastructure.

This year, the rate will be set at five per cent.

In solid waste management, the rates that homeowners pay to make use of bins of varying sizes will go up by 3.9 per cent overall. That’s higher than the past eight years, when increases were held at 1.5 per cent.

Fees for multi-residential unit collection will be going up marginally, and yellow tag fees, those paid by businesses for garbage collection, will be increasing by $1.61 per bag.

There will be other fees too.

The budget proposes charging an annual fee of $8 a household for collecting oversized items.

Currently the service is delivered for free.

And if a household wants to reduce the size of their garbage

David Nickle/MetrolaND

Toronto budget chief Gary Crawford speaks at City Hall about proposed increases to Toronto's rate-based budgets.

bin, they’ll be hit with a $25 charge.

Currently, the city delivers that for free.

The city will also charge for cleanup after special events.

It’s unclear whether these charges will remain as the budget proceeds.

Budget Chief Gary Crawford called the increases “a non-starter for me.”

“We need to keep the city affordable,” said Crawford. “When we ask people to pay more they need to see what they’re paying for. I’m going to be working with the budget committee to talk about the proposed increases, and for me I don’t want to see major increases.”

One of the pressures cited by city staff is the need to replace some of the city’s aging fleet of garbage trucks. But Crawford pointed out that the city will be engaging in a review of how garbage collection is handled, and council may decide to contract out more of the work.

“It’s important that we examine that before we invest millions of dollars to purchase more trucks,” he said.

Beaches-East York Councillor Janet Davis agreed that the rate changes might create a disincentive.

“We have to be very careful that the rates don’t push highrise apartments out of the program, don’t get small businesses out of the program, and I hope that residents who want to reduce will be supported.

Right now there’s an incentive the way we subsidize small bins.”

Ex-pats split on impact of Trump’s election JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com As Americans headed to the polls and the world watched, engrossed as the results trickled in, U.S. ex-pats living in Canada were split over what the election of Donald Trump would mean for the future.

Mark Feigenbaum, chair of Republicans Overseas Canada and Democrats Abroad board member Ed Ungar had decidedly - and unsurprisingly - differing views on the outcome of the election, which saw Trump defy most polls and predictions to become the president-elect.

The surprises started c o m i n g i n e a r l y, a n d Feigenbaum said he saw a path for the Republicans to take control of the White House early on as key battlegrounds swung red - something many pundits felt was unlikely heading into the election.

“I was telling everybody, once (Trump) got Florida, North Carolina and one other state, that was the end,” he said. “It came down to him winning those two states and one more. You knew he wasn’t going to win New York or California, you knew she wasn’t going to win Texas.”

Feigenbaum noted that Trump’s victory was both an endorsement of his policies and a repudiation of Hillary Clinton.

“A lot of it came down to people finding her disfavourable - people disliked her,” he

CNN declares Hillary Clinton the winner of the state of Illinois garnering cheers from the crowd during a U.S. presidential election watching party hosted by the Toronto-Danforth NDP at the Fox and Fiddle Tuesday night. By the end of the evening, things took a turn for Clinton with Republican candidate Donald Trump voted president-elect of the United States.

said, noting that. “There wasn’t a lot of reporting on why her base disliked her.”

He said the Democrats would be left to wonder whether another challenger - say, Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden - would have resonated more with voters.

Ungar was concerned heading into the election, with trends heading Trump’s way, particularly in light of a renewed FBI investigation into Clinton’s emails in which she was cleared a mere couple of days before the election.

The Democratic expat said

he began seeing the writing on the wall relatively early Tuesday night.

“It was pretty apparent to me by around 9 o’clock,” he said. “It was apparent when I heard, for instance, in Pennsylvania (his home state) that we hadn’t taken Scranton and we weren’t taking Berks County which the polls said we would take, when we needed much more of a cushion in Philadelphia than we were getting.”

Looking ahead, Feigenbaum said it’s now time to parse the rhetoric on both sides.

He noted Trump’s declarations that he will renegotiate NAFTA may have an impact on Canada, but he said time will offer more perspective.

“Right now, there needs to be a lot of reassurance because a lot of people seem to think the world is ending,” he said.

“Clinton said she had some problems with some agreements, so he’s not alone there (in talking about renegotiating trade deals).

“I think it’s going to be a lot less dramatic than people are gearing up for.”

Ungar was more concerned, pointing to economic predictions from sources such as Moody’s Analytics and the Wharton School of Business.

“If those predictions come true, it could lead to a terrible crash for the U.S. economy and Canada’s economy if he puts into action what he promised to do.”
