Citizen of Year ceremony Saturday

®

Program back at The Ralph Thornton Centre

DRUMMING IN PHIN PARK

JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Longtime east-end resident Paul M. Babich will be joining a roster of outstanding local citizens this weekend.

Babich, who has called the community home since 1956, is the 2015 Beaches Citizen of the Year.

He will be formally honoured for his years of selfless work in the community Saturday.

The ceremony will get underway at 1 p.m. at Woodbine Park’s Millennium Garden, which is at the southeast corner of Eastern and Coxwell avenues. Everyone is welcome.

Not one to seek recognition or attention for his volunteerism, Babich said he’s honoured to be the 15th annual Citizen of the Year. He also admitted he’s a little surprised he was selected for the distinction.

“I’m just an average Joe. It was totally out of the blue and I was totally surprised,” said Babich, who shares the honour with east enders of note Carole Stimmell, Suzanne Beard, Thomas Neal, Anne Butler, Pat Silver, Jean Cochrane, Joan Brent, Mary Christie, David Breech, Arie >>>paul, page 13

FAMILY TIME: Lauren Morrisson and her daughter join the community drum circle during the closing day Thursday of the summer’s Art in Phin Park program.

A new partnership between The Ralph Thornton Centre and the Eastview Toronto Boys and Girls Club has resulted in the reestablishment of an after-school program in Riverside.

Starting Tuesday, The Ralph Thornton Centre, at 765 Queen St. E., will be providing 24 children ages six to 12 after-school care from 3 to 6 p.m.

“There are learning and leadership components as well as homework help, physical education and healthy snacks,” said Laurette Jack-Ogbonna, the children’s program coordinator for Eastview Boys and Girls Club/Eastview Neighbourhood Community Centre.

Maria Moutsatsos, RTC’s director of programs, called the new partnership with Eastview “a natural connection” and said the return of after-school programming in Riverside meets a consistent need for it in the community. The after-school program at The Ralph Thornton Centre costs $200 per month with an optional “safe walk” from Morse Street School, at Queen Street East and Carlaw Avenue, for an additional $50 per month.

Spaces are still available.

For more details or to sign up email info@ralphthornton. org or call 416-392-6810.

Call 416-392-1750, ext. 315 to learn about other after-school programs in the neighbourhood.

Riverdale writer pens book on women’s hockey star Geraldine Heaney NORM NELSON nnelson@insidetoronto.com Tom Bartsiokas’ latest book is a biography of a retired women’s national hockey team player Geraldine Heaney, often referred to as the Bobby Orr of women’s hockey.

And that’s entirely appropriate as Bartsiokas’ first book in 2012 was a biography of another retired women’s national team hockey player Angela James, who was dubbed during her prime as the Wayne Gretzky of women’s hockey.

“Since I wrote about the Wayne Gretzky of women’s hockey why not follow it up by the Bobby Orr of women’s hockey,” said Bartsiokas, during a recent phone interview about his book One Last Goal: The Geraldine Heaney Story.

A lifelong Toronto east ender, Bartsiokas was born and raised in East York and now lives with his family in Riverdale near Danforth and Carlaw avenues.

At the beginning of Heaney’s career, she also scored what has become one of the iconic goals in women’s hockey, even making Hockey Night in Canada’s Top 10

Tom Bartsiokas, right with his daughters Angelina, 10, left, Elena, 3, and Deanna, 7, just released, ‘One Last Goal’, a book on Weston native and longtime member of the North York Aeros, Geraldine Heaney.

goals for the 1989 to ’90 season. Her eventual winning goal in Canada’s 5-2 win over the United States in that season’s world championships was in Bobby Orr fashion – flying through the air while the puck flew into the net – and the iconic photo is

on the front cover of the book.

The two former national team players are in a select group, along with American Cammi Granato, as the first trio of women inducted into the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Hall of Fame (in

2008). They are also the first three female players inducted into the Toronto-based Hockey Hall of Fame (James and Granato in 2010, followed by Heaney in 2013).

The two iconic Canadian hall of famers are also Toronto natives.

James grew up in the Flemingdon Park community. Heaney, who now lives in Ancaster with her husband and two pre-teen kids, grew up in Weston, attended Emery Collegiate and played for the North York-based Aeros hockey club for a quarter of a century throughout both her youth and adult club career.

Both also played women’s hockey at North York’s Seneca College where James is now a longtime employee as a senior sport coordinator.

Bartsiokas is on staff at Seneca as a faculty member in the School of English and Liberal Studies.

“When people read the book (on Heaney) they’re going to be inspired – at least I hope they’re going to be – (at) what she was able to accomplish at a time when all the opportunities there are today didn’t exist then,” he said. The book on Heaney recounts “her quest for gold and obviously retraces how she started off just as a little girl with the dream of playing hockey, but then she didn’t know where that dream would take her.

The book, published by Burnstown Publishing House, is available at Chapters/Indigo and Amazon.

abour Day is like the middle of the longest car trip you can remember: powering across the prairies, destination a little farther past the horizon than the trip’s beginning.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper got us started early – way back in August, packing up the federal election campaign bus in the dark and hauling us from our Sunday morning beds without so much as a bathroom break before hitting the highway.

And now here we are: in the midst of the longest federal election this century, that by the polls is anyone’s to win.

So far, for those of us paying attention and not distracted by our view the attack ads on the in-car DVD player, what we’ve had to occupy Serious us are strategic and tactical questions. questions The trial of suspended senator to consider Mike Duffy has laid bare some of the inner workings of Harper’s prime minister’s office (PMO), and we’ve puzzled over how the revelations might be used by the New Democrats or Liberals, or somehow minimized by the Conservatives.

We’ve watched Liberal leader Justin Trudeau dodge attack ads complimenting his hair, but questioning his readiness, then put in a good early debate performance, and wondered how that might affect the polls.

And we’ve tried to figure out what it is Tom Mulcair’s New Democratic Party is doing to edge into the lead in all those polls that keep dropping.

Well, it’s Labour Day coming up – not even halfway to the Oct. 19 election day – and it’s safe to say we’ve burned through all the simple driving games.

It’s time to start paying attention – and by that we don’t mean watching U.S. Republican leader hopeful Donald Trump on YouTube.

Voters in Toronto and across the country are facing some serious questions about the next five years. The three main parties are offering very different visions and plans to navigate this country down what could be some very rough roads.

Conservatives, Liberals and New Democrats sharing the driving up front will have strategies for us to consider. Although it may not seem like it here in the back seat, we, the voters, only have choices.

column

Olympic flame a temptation too great to resist There are some temptations that are too much for a mayor to resist.

Promising a tax freeze, or increases so low they may as well be?

That’s a tough one.

Devising a new transit plan that wasn’t on anybody else’s long-term infrastructure plan?

Good luck saying no.

But those are all easy when it comes to the tempting, flickering flame of the Olympics.

A mayor who says no to that would have to be made of sterner stuff than pretty well all of them.

So it is with Mayor John Tory, who appears to be following Oscar Wilde’s advice, which is to say, banishing temptation by yielding to it.

After a summer of feigning a wait-and-see attitude, Tory appears to be ready to go all in with a bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics.

There is a lot to like, politically at least, in being

david nickle the city out-front in a bid for an Olympic Games.

It is, first and foremost, a fundamentally boosterish enterprise: mayors and business leaders and often popular sports figures spend lunch-hours before cameras speaking highly of their city and basking in the glow of it.

Infrastructure projects find themselves at least nominally on a fast-track for funding. The city and its leadership floats along on dreams.

Of course, dreams are what they are, and things can go nightmarishly wrong.

Former mayor Mel Lastman brought the city a pot-full of embarrassment when he made a cannibalism joke as he prepared to visit Africa to court International Olympic Committee (IOC)

votes on Toronto’s 2008 bid.

The only thing that might have been worse would have been actually winning the bid over Beijing, and ending up with a suite of unusable facilities and terrible debt as Montreal did in 1976 – or just disappointing economic results as London did in 2012.

Tory might be headed for a more ignominious defeat than that.

There is serious question as to whether even his own council – even the portion of council that happily supports him – is at all supportive of going forward with the plan.

On Tuesday, members of the city’s budget committee had little time for launching a bid for 2024.

Budget Chief Gary Crawford made it clear he was “cautiously” withdrawing from the idea – the cost of simply launching a bid being a major barrier. Etobicoke Centre Councillor John Campbell opined that even if the pri-

vate sector or some other level of government were to front the $50 to $60 million it costs to launch a bid, the city would still be best to stay away.

Others, like York Centre Councillor James Pasternak suspected with Los Angeles entering the race, winning the Olympics would simply be impossible for 2024.

Perhaps, he thought, 2028 might work, but with a novel and so-far againstthe-rules strategy of teaming up with Buffalo, New York, for an international bid.

Based on all of that, it looks as though no matter how mightily Tory is tempted, the better judgement of his friends on council will prevail – and our mayor will find himself hauled back from the bright Olympic flame, before his wings get any more than a little singed.

Rugby player recovering after injury A Balmy Beach Rugby player continues to recover in hospital after he was seriously hurt during a game Saturday.

Eric Shannon, 25, received a hit to his chest, directly at the heart, and then collapsed just after 2 p.m. at Fletcher’s Fields in Markham.

“It was a rugby game and a male party was injured during that,” York Regional Police Const. Laura Nicolle said. “Other players in the area rushed to his assistance and began CPR right away.”

The rugby stadium is equipped with a defibrillator, which was used on Shannon several times. Shannon was taken to hospital in critical condition. His condition has since been upgraded to non-life-threatening.

Rugby Ontario said on its website that Shannon is making good progress at Sunnybrook hospital.

Shannon is responding to questions and has no neck or spinal injuries. “(Shannon’s mother) Lori wishes to thank all those who have relayed their thoughts and prayers for Eric and is thankful to all those who assisted Eric on Saturday...”, the Rugby Ontario website said.

Balmy Beach was playing against the Aurora Barbarians.

Penny Oleksiak wins six medals at Burger’s place creates parody FINA World Junior Swimming event video to thank customers NORM NELSON nnelson@insidetoronto.com Beach native Penny Oleksiak closed out the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in Singapore Sunday, Aug. 30 with another individual silver medal, bringing her total haul to six medals – three individual and three relay.

That total, a meet best for the junior women, was also shared by her Canadian teammate Taylor Ruck.

Both are 15, and the junior women category also includes 16 and 17 year olds.

Oleksiak’s three individual medals were all silver.

She finished in second place in both the 100- and 50-metre butterfly events, in both cases behind Rikako Ikee of Japan.

And she finished in second place in the 100m freestyle behind teammate Ruck.

Ruck, a Kelowna, B.C., native now based in Arizona, also earned gold in the 200m freestyle event and added a bronze medal in the 200m

women’s 4×100m freestyle relay.

By contrast, the entire Canadian team won just two medals at the 2013 world junior championships.

“I think I paced it very well and really sped up the last 10 metres,” said Oleksiak of her silver medal performance in the 100m butterfly on Sunday’s final day.

She set a personal best mark of 58.50 to finish just behind the Japanese competitor at 58.28 “The biggest challenge for me was stepping up after six days of swimming and overcoming some fatigue to do well.”

Swimming out of the Toronto Swim Club at the University of Toronto, Oleksiak kicked off high school at Monarch Park Collegiate last year after graduating Glen Ames Senior Public School after previously attending Kew Beach Junior Public School.

Brother Jamie Oleksiak is looking to secure a full-time National Hockey League job while her Sister Hayley, a Malvern Collegiate grad, is on the varsity rowing team at Northeastern University in Boston.

In honour of its fifth anniversary, Burger’s Priest is paying homage to its roots in the Beach and thanking its customers for their support in a parody video titled Straight Outta Coxwell.

Taking its cue from the hip hop bio-pic Straight Outta Compton, the made-in-the-Beach version was written and stars the chain’s founder, Shant Mardirosian.

“It’s an ode to the community that helped us get our start,” he said during a recent interview.

The 1:23-second long clip, which can be found at www.youtube.com/

watch?v=lh8EiZml5w0, was posted on YouTube Aug. 20 and has already garnered more than 23,000 clicks.

Ted G. is the black-and-white video’s producer and director, while Barry Cheong is the director of photography.

“We just like to have fun doing fun things,” Mardirosian said.

Last December, Burger’s Priest published a YouTube parody video featuring Mardirosian defending himself against accusations he failed to put napkins in a takeout bag, inspired by a press conference with basketball player Allen Iverson.

Lanes at Lake Shore Boulevard and Leslie Street intersection reopen All lanes of traffic are back in service on Lake Shore Boulevard East at Leslie Street.

Motorists can now make use of three lanes, plus a turn lane in either direction, on Lake Shore.

Two northbound lanes, as well as one southbound lane, have also reopened on Leslie Street, south of Lake Shore Boulevard.

The north entrance to the Canadian Tire plaza has also been restored.

Some intermittent lane reductions will be required to re-construct the centre median on Lake Shore.

The final layer of asphalt will be done within the Lake Shore/Leslie intersection at a later date. The work will be done overnight.

Free handbook to help people with concussions fannie sunshine fsunshine@insidetoronto.com To help parents and young people better understand symptoms and coping strategies of concussions, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital developed an online handbook geared toward management and recovery.

Launched last month, Concussion and You: A Handbook for Parents and Kids is a free, 28-page guide developed by youth concussion experts at Bloorview’s Concussion Centre. Though recovery time can range from days to weeks to months, improvement can be made by resting your body and brain, said Dr. Nick Reed, clinician scientist in the Concussion Centre at Bloorview.

“We are not trying to reinvent the wheel,” he said of the handbook. “We are trying to meet the needs specifically of parents and kids, and provide specific strategies that apply to day-to-day life. It’s a onestop-shop.”

The handbook is not geared

People who suffer from a concussion need to understand the 4 Ps – prioritize, plan place and position.

toward athletes, but anyone young and old – who suffered a concussion, Reed said.

“You can get a concussion from sport, tobogganing, walking down the street,” he said. “The strategies can 100 per cent be used by anyone.”

According to the handbook, brain injury may happen because of a hit to the head, face, neck or somewhere else

on the body. When a hit takes place, the brain moves back and forth inside the skull. If it moves hard enough, the brain can become injured.

This can make your brain and body work and feel different.

Concussion symptoms can include headaches, nausea, sensitivity to light and noise, difficulty concentrating and remembering, difficulty falling asleep and staying

6 concussion facts

asleep, sadness, anger and irritability.

If a concussion is suspected, the person should stop studying, working or playing, see their doctor for diagnosis and rest their brain and body. Activities such as reading, using electronics, video gaming, physical activity or walking or taking the bus in noisy environments should be avoided.

The “Four P’s” – Prioritize, Plan, Pace and Position (ensuring the environment isn’t too taxing on the brain) – should be followed to conserve energy. The injured person should also slowly return to school and keep a daily schedule and activity log.

“We use the gas tank analogy,” Reed said. “Your brain has only so much fuel.

With a concussion, the tank is only half full. Be aware of the symptoms, document the patterns so you’re not hitting empty on the gas tank.”

• Concussion is a brain injury.

• It’s essential for optimal recovery to rest your mind and body.

• Most concussions resolve quickly, however 30 per cent of people have symptoms that last longer than four weeks.

• Concussion symptoms are more than just physical. They

can be mental, emotional or behavioural.

• You can have a concussion without losing consciousness.

• A child’s brain is still developing and requires a unique approach to care.

Paul M. Babich is committed to helping his community >>>from page 1 Nerman, Marie Perrotta, Ted Randall, Glenn Cochrane and Gene Domagala.

A committee consisting of past recipients, as well as members of local organizations including Community Centre 55 and the Toronto Beaches Lions Club, chose Babich as this year’s Citizen of the Year.

‘can’t say no’ Babich, who learned in late August he’d been selected for the accolade, said volunteering in the community is just something he does.

“I’d commit to volunteering for something then I’d tell my family,” he said. “I can’t say no. I’m just happy to do what I can.”

Best known for his years of dedication to the Balmy Beach Club (BBC), Babich has helped organize countless events and initiatives including the Balmy Beach Club’s annual Hair of the Dog Run and its Old Boys hockey

team. He’s also sat on numerous committees and was a member of the board of directors for 19 years.

“I really like the interaction with people and the camaraderie,” he said of the Balmy Beach Club.

Charlene Provan, BBC’s general manager, has known and worked with Babich for 18 years.

“Paul is very vibrant and involved,” she said, adding he’s received every award and honour the 110-year-old club can possibly give out including being inducted into its hall of fame.

“His love for the (Balmy Beach Club) is just incredible.

He’s a key reason why we’re so successful.”

Provan described Babich as a gentle soul with a great love for his family and his community.

“He’s a real ambassador for the Balmy Beach Club and the community. He’s touched so many lives,” she said.

Jake Lipsett, who serves as the club’s president, lead the charge on nominating Babich as this year’s Citizen of the Year.

“I wanted to nominate Paul as a good friend and great community member,” he said.

“I just felt he’d be a good

candidate. I felt he deserved to be considered among that great group of local residents.”

Lipsett called Babich a great community organizer who is deeply committed to helping others.

“There are a lot of things that go unsung that people don’t realize he’s been a part of,” he said.

Aside from helping out at the Balmy Beach Club, Babich also served as a longtime member of the board of the

Ted Reeve Arena.

For the last nine years, he’s sat on the board of Beach Metro News. Babich also volunteers as a cook at Community Centre’ 55’s various events throughout the year.

‘Major force’ Thirty-year Beach residents Heidi Gollert and her husband Paul LeBlanc provided a letter of support for Babich, whom she called a “major force” at the Balmy Beach Club.

“He really is a behindthe-scenes contributor who certainly doesn’t seek glory,” said Gollert, who with her husband has participated in a number of the hockey trips to Europe Babich and Lipsett have organized for the BBC’s Old Boys hockey team.

Gollert said it wasn’t until she got involved in nominating Babich for the Beaches Citizen of the Year award that she learned her good friend has been helping out in so many other ways.

“Paul is just a wonderful supporter for so many initiatives in the community,” she said.

“We consider ourselves very fortunate to call Paul a friend. He’s a most deserving recipient.”

Born in northern Quebec to Slovenian parents, Babich is a father of two adult children, as well as a grandfather of three. He has lived near Kingston Road and Victoria Park Avenue with Linda, his wife of 48 years, since 1967.
