‘Every day we exist is reconciliation day’: She built bridges between communities when fires burned (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jon Wells is a reporter at The Hamilton Spectator. jwells@thespec.com So reads the plate on Suzie Miller’s car in the high school parking lot. âWhat does it mean?â quizzes Miller, her smiling face lit by the noonday September sun. âPeace and love,â I reply triumphantly.

Someone erased the outlaw’s name from her grave — Rocco Perri’s family just gave it back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a little cemetery on the Mountain, a dignified patch of heaven framed by old maples and cedars, the common-law wife of mobster Rocco Perri has had her name reclaimed. Bessie Starkman, Rocco’s partner in love and crime, was gunned-down in the garage of their Bay Street home 96 years ago, Aug. 13, 1930.

A Crown prosecutor cited Pasco’s history of âescalating violenceâ against women, arguing his âpattern of behaviour is intractable.â The most recent attack took place in the sex worker’s apartment near Gage Park on O
The McMaster pediatrician who won’t quit: At 82, Peter Rosenbaum keeps teaching and researching (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jon Wells is a reporter at The Hamilton Spectator. jwells@thespec.com âIt’s a nasty secret in medicine that we actually don’t fix very much. As I say to people in my field, you want to be a fix-it person, be an orthopedic surgeon with a clinic at the foot of a ski hill.â Dr. Peter Rosenbaum’s field is pediatrics, and at 82, he remains a popular lecturer at McMaster University, no doubt in part because of his fondness for metaphors.
