Only one venue in Etobicoke will impact traffic for one day in one direction.

Centennial Park Boulevard northbound between Rathburn Road and Eglinton Avenue West will be closed on July 11 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for the Pan Am BMX event.

Centennial Park will be fenced in during the Games with limited parking onsite. Pan Am BMX spectators can either walk in or take a shuttle to the venue.

Police are still seeking suspects, witnesses to Donald Beckles’ murder Community mourns his loss at vigil CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Saturday evening, people in the community, friends and family attended a vigil to honour the life of Donald Beckles, the 46-year-old man who was shot to death outside his townhouse in Jamestown last month.

The day before, police released security footage of the moments immediately before and after the fatal shooting.

The video images, cap-

tured shortly after 11 p.m. on Monday, March 30, show a dark-coloured car pulling up to the scene about 50 metres from where Beckles, a hearing-impaired husband and father of two, stood smoking a cigarette off-camera at his 163 Jamestown Cres. townhome, Homicide Det. Murray Barnes said during a news conference at police headquarters last Friday morning.

“As you will see in the footage, two suspects arrive in a dark-coloured, four-door vehicle,” Barnes said, noting that there was at least one other person involved in Beckles’ murder – a driver who remained in the vehicle during the shooting.

“They drove past Donald, they saw him standing on the threshold of his door,

Danae Beckles, left, hugs Iman Suluhu Bakari after talking about her brother Donald.

and as soon as they came around the corner, they got out, they hugged the wall, they ran around, and they executed him right where he stood,” Barnes added, noting that police believe Beckles was targeted because “he was the first person these killers saw”.

“Where he fell indicates to us that he didn’t see them, he didn’t hear them...and he didn’t have a chance to run.”

Beckles’s mother, Edith, who was also on hand at the media briefing, said watching the surveillance footage of her son’s killers was “very hard”.

“I pray that the person or persons who murdered my son, if this is their first senseless act of taking a life, I pray that this is their last. There is a better path to travel in this walk of life – a path of love and respect for others, and it is not too late,” she said, pleading with those responsible to come forward and turn themselves in.

Toronto Homicide investigators, Barnes said, believe there are still some members of the community with information about Beckles’ murder, Toronto’s 11th homicide of 2015, who have yet to share what they know with police.

“His killers do not deserve the protection of the community’s silence,” he said.

“Any information, no matter how small, is very important to this investiga-

Thank you, to all the volunteers

olunteer recognition: it’s important, but doesn’t need to be expensive.

As we’re in the midst of National Volunteer Week, many organizations across the country that rely on volunteer efforts are busy acknowledging those efforts.

And for good reason. According to Statistics Canada, 12.7 million Canadians volunteered for nearly two billion hours in 2013. That’s a lot of work being put into making our communities stronger.

Though it may seem counterintuitive – as volunteering tends to be a selfless act – recognition is nevertheless important. According to Volunteer Canada, studies show that volunteer retention rates are linked to recognition.

So what are organizations and causes to do?

Resources are limited. Yet the time and expertise of volunteers are critical cogs to getting jobs done.

One recent study, published by Volunteer Canada, suggests there’s reason for optiour view mism. The study entailed a pair of online surveys – one for volunteers Recognition and another for non-profit organiThere were 379 responses. of service zations.

According to the organizaa win-win tion’s 2013 National Volunteer Recognition Study, the ways people want to be recognized tend to be the most cost-effective ones, such as “being thanked on an ongoing, informal basis.” Least-preferred methods included items like banquets and formal gatherings.

“Few volunteers want to be thanked in public ways,” states the Key Findings section. “But they do want to know the impact of their contribution.”

So here’s a challenge: if you’re an organization, take this week as an opportunity to review your recognition practices and get to know your volunteers a little better. Engaging your volunteer base may spark conversations and ideas that can be of mutual benefit.

If you’re a volunteer, don’t be afraid to ask how your efforts are making a difference.

Finally, if you’re not already a volunteer in some capacity, consider becoming one. The average contribution in Canada ranges from two to four hours per week, according to Statistics Canada.

It may not be about the recognition, but the benefits of meeting people, learning a skill and contributing to your community (a key point in the Volunteer Canada survey).

If you’re looking for ideas, Volunteer Toronto lists several opportunities on its website: www.volunteertoronto.ca

Council only has two choices when it comes to future of Gardiner Expressway

A

h, what a relief!

Councillor Jaye Robinson and Mayor John Tory and, with any luck, a voting majority of Toronto council are going to end the debate over the Gardiner Expressway’s future once and for all, and will do so by the summer.

“This is a once-in-alifetime decision and we need to make sure we get it right,” said Robinson, in her capacity as chair of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee.

Robinson said that at a Tuesday news conference, made necessary by a bit of reporting by Oliver Moore at The Globe and Mail, about certain leaked details of an environmental assessment report looking at options for the crumbling elevated expressway.

By now (as you read this) the report will be out and the first public consultation on its con-

david nickle the city tacts will have occurred.

But as I write this, I have only Moore’s word on its content: Robinson and city staff would not confirm the most likely option, a ‘hybrid’ that reroutes part of the expressway at ground level, would cost about $900 million.

That’s a lot of money, but it would provide a lot of benefit to a lot of people: first and foremost, the developers at First Gulf who are planning a massive redevelopment of the Unilever site. The development would create thousands of jobs, and generate millions of dollars in revenue to be put toward Mayor Tory’s SmartTrack plan – the surface rail project that would run right through the First Gulf

project.

Given that, council really only has two choices on its plate: either tear down the whole expressway as earlier suggested, or go with this hybrid model.

This will not only help with vehicular congestion, but political congestion too.

For more than a decade, the future of the Gardiner Expressway has been a political pinch point for the left and right on council.

The left has, broadly, favoured the simple removal of the elevated highway.

That option dovetails with the views of late urban planning guru Jane Jacobs and others, in that it would open up the city’s waterfront to pedestrians.

The broadly-defined right on council, meanwhile, has put considerable political energy into maintaining the thing – on

the largely correct theory that right-of-centre voters from the suburbs feel that the expressway there is a kind of entitlement, even as every spring and summer it flings pieces of itself onto the hoods of cars travelling below it.

These and other engineering conundrums surrounding the Gardiner have thus been subsumed in an existential fight between left and right on council for the course of the debate.

The future of the Gardiner itself has always been something that could wait. But not anymore.

The injection of First Gulf might be what it takes to break the standoff between the Jane Jacobs and Ayn Rand sets on council. Here’s hoping.

South Etobicoke community set to New street names in get another multi-building complex Humber Bay Shores Two residential towers and a commercial building approved for Lake Shore, east of Park Lawn West-end councillors gave the green light this week to another large, multi-building development proposal in Humber Bay Shores.

Etobicoke York Community Council (EYCC) expressed unanimous support for the mixed-use development – which includes two residential towers of 49 and 14 storeys, as well as a four-storey, 3,544-square metre commercial building – to be constructed at 2161-2165 Lake Shore Blvd.

W. (east of Park Lawn Road), during its monthly meeting on Tuesday.

The application put forth by the owner of the prop-

the development will contain a total of 660 residential units, plus five levels of underground parking that will provide 605 residential parking spaces and an additional 100 spots for visitor/ commercial parking.

In their report to EYCC, city planning staff recommended that the city enter into a Section 37 agreement with the developer in order to secure the following community benefits: n a cash contribution of $250,000 to be paid to city and used towards local park/ trail improvements; n another cash contribution of $250,000 to be paid to city and used for public art improvements in Humber Bay Shores Park; n and $500,000 towards the design and construction of the Village Court East.

The proposed development, city planning staff also

erty requested amendments to both the city’s Official Plan and zoning bylaws to accommodate the proposed development. That EYCCendorsed application will now go before the larger Toronto City Council at its next meeting in early May. If ultimately approved,

Councillors and staff are seeking “a cash contribution of $250,000 to be paid to city and used towards local park/ trail improvements.”

to reflect city’s past

Streets include Silver Moon Drive, Shore Breeze Drive, Annie Craig Drive, Marginal Boulevard and Crow’s Beach Lane We s t - e n d c o u n c i l l o r s approved the naming of four proposed public streets and one new private lane in the Humber Bay Shores community on Tuesday at Etobicoke York Community Council (EYCC).

The chosen names for the proposed new roadways, which will be located within the site at 2143 to 2183 Lake Shore Blvd. W. and 80 Marine Parade Dr., all have “historical relevance” to the community, according to a city staff report.

Silver Moon Drive and Shore Breeze Drive, the report states, are names that acknowledge two former motels that operated along Lake Shore Boulevard West, while Annie Craig Drive will share its name with one of two steamboats that ran from Toronto to the Humber River in the late 1800s.

The Marginal Boulevard will commemorate its samenamed predecessor, a 1921 roadway which was to make a complete loop around the city and then extend along the waterfront – that latter section would later become known as Lake Shore Boulevard West.

And lastly, Crow’s Beach Lane acknowledges the beach that was formerly located where the Palace Pier condo development now sits.

Residents encouraged to carpool, take transit and plan ahead >>>from page 1 to the venue.

“It’s a balance between providing athletes and spectators the opportunity to get to venues and people who live and do business in the region who may not want to be affected by the Games,” Doug Spooner, TO2015 senior manager, transportation partner integration and planning, said of the Games’ transportation planning.

Pan Am bowling competition takes place July 22 to 25 at Planet Bowl, 5555 Eglinton Ave. W. The “transit-first” Games includes enhanced transit with a Mississauga Transitoperated shuttle from the TTC’s accessible Kipling Subway Station and at Eglinton Avenue West at Satellite Drive to the Pan Am Bowling Centre.

The bowling centre has limited parking that must be booked in advance.

Transit is free to Pan Am and Parapan Am spectators on event day with Games’

ticket presentation.

It is less than 90 days from the $1.4-billion Pan Am Games when more than 7,000 athletes from 41 countries across the Americas and Caribbean compete in 51 sports at 30 venues in 16 municipalities, including Toronto.

The Pan Am Games run July 10 to 26. Parapan Am Games take place Aug. 7 to 15.

Reducing demand on transportation throughout the city is part of the Games’ five-point transportation plan, Gary Jamieson, team

lead with the Ministry of Transportation’s Pan Am/ Parapan Am Games branch, told the room. “ We are encouraging people to carpool, take transit, cycle or walk. Anything to reduce the traffic congestion,” Jamieson said. “We’re urging residents to carpool to work, to avoid traveling during rush hours. The expansion of the HOV lanes is a golden opportunity.”

Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca told reporters at a recent news conference the $61 million

budgeted to move people connected with the Games around the city requires a 20 per cent reduction in regular traffic.

That requires Torontonians to carpool or reschedule their commutes to off-rush hour periods, as Jamieson said.

Critics have charged that plan is an unreasonable expectation.

As Jamieson indicated, ministry officials will expand HOV lanes during the Games fives times its current capacity to a total of 235 kilometres on Hwy. 427, Hwy. 404, QEW, Don Valley Parkway, Gardiner Expressway, Lake Shore Boulevard West and Jane Street, Jamieson said.

However, drivers take note: during the Games, HOV lane use will require three vehicle occupants, not the usual two.

Drivers who use HOV lanes during the Pan Am Games in July with fewer than three occupants face a $110 fine under the Highway Traffic Act.

Police HOV lanes’ enforcement begins June 22.

“There will be officers on motorcycles for more-rapid deployment to accidents.

Keeping the Games Route Network running is imperative to the Games,” said Toronto police Const. Craig Brister, Pan Am/Parapan Am business and community liaison.

“HOV lanes will be heavily patrolled, especially in Toronto.”

HOV lanes revert back to its two-occupant regulation from July 28 to Aug. 18, Brister reported.

The Games’ Integrated Security Unit, comprised of many member police services including Toronto police, has reported a medium threat level for the Games.

In addition to security sweeps of venues, Games’ security will use “intelligenceled policing,” Brister said.

Brister said the security unit will look at what has happened around the world, as well as what is happening and

what could happen.

“This is not the G20,” he said. “This is not a security event. It’s a sporting event...

It doesn’t have the political baggage of an Olympics or the heads of state.”

For him, planning ahead is key to a positive experience during the Games.

“It’s going to be a busy time. Plan ahead. Think about where you’re going to be and when so what’s going on in the city has the minimum impact on you.”

Councillor Stephen Holyday said he thinks the Games will be a long-lasting legacy for Toronto.

“I’m excited about it,” he said. “It’s a great time to welcome visitors from all over North America, and to see and showcase our city. I have tremendous confidence everyone will look on this for many years to come.”

national volunteer week

‘It has been fun times’ says hospital volunteer Ann Mackay honoured for lifelong commitment to Queensway hospital patients and staff TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Ann Mackay still chuckles when she recalls Queensway General Hospital staff and volunteers’ surprise when she attended the hospital’s first “pink ball” with her late husband, Jim. Dr. Jim Mackay (pronounced “Mac-Kye”) was the hospital’s chief of psychiatry in the first psychiatric ward in a public hospital at the time. No one knew Ann was his wife. Everyone knew Ann as Ann MacKay (pronounced “Mac-Kae”) “Everyone was so flabbergasted. They didn’t know we were married,” Mackay said with a laugh.

Her husband died a yearand-a-half ago. Mackay sold the central Etobicoke home they’d shared for 50 years. No longer wanting to drive, she gave her car to her grand-

son.

Mackay is 86. Twice a week, one of her sons drives her or she takes a taxi to Queensway General Hospital across from Sherway Gardens. Weekly, she works a morning shift at the information booth, and another in the volunteer office and in a small room where she lovingly organizes

the Queensway General Hospital volunteer archives from personal memorabilia she has collected over the years.

Every other Tuesday morning, she assists 200 to 300 patients in for day surgery.

Today, Trillium Health Partners’ officials honoured

Mackay for 60 years of service, and its more than 2,000 volunteers, at an appreciation luncheon coinciding with National Volunteer Week.

Volunteers work at Trillium Health Partners’ three hospitals: Queensway Health Centre, Mississauga Hospital and Credit Valley Hospital.

Volunteers work in more than 200 capacities, including helping patients prepare for procedures or navigate the hospital, in the gift shops, and with fundraising and clerical support.

As a six-decade volunteer, Mackay’s lifelong dedication is “very rare”, said Deb Folkes, director of volunteer resources with Trillium Health Partners.

“I don’t think you’ll see someone dedicated for 60 years again in this day and age,” she said. “It’s so nice to see someone so wonderful who so believes in the hos-

pital. Who works to make the hospital the best it can be.”

“We could not survive without our volunteers,” she said. “They bring that care, comfort and compassion to our patients and help support our staff in what they do. We’re very blessed.”

For Mackay, Queensway General Hospital has been a fulfilling investment of her time and talents, and is a constant source of kind people, and friendship.

In the 1950s, a handful of Etobicoke women raised funds to build Queensway General Hospital.

Then in her 20s, Mackay was urged by a neighbour to join the hospital’s auxiliary.

It was July 1955. She did. She has never looked back.

“It’s just life. It has been fun times. I’ve just been doing it week after week, month after month. I’ve only taken a few weeks off. I’ve been fortunate

to be healthy.”

Volunteers also worked in the community. In the 1960s, Mackay and other volunteers traveled weekly to Etobicoke public schools to test the eyesight of children younger than seven for a Queensway ophthalmologist.

Mackay worked on Queensway’s volunteer board for a decade before becoming its president in the 1980s. She went on to become one of the first women on the hospital’s board of governors chairing its nurses’ and fundraising committees.

Mackay is keen to share the spotlight among all the hospital’s dedicated volunteers.

“Everyone is so dedicated.

There are so many good volunteers.”

Proceeds from sale funds mission to Nicaragua to build and fix water wells >>>from page 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. – will once again support the church’s ongoing mission trips to build and repair water wells in impoverished regions of the Central American country.

“All of the items people donate to us for the sale, we will transform that into water in Nicaragua,” said Paul Payne, a deacon and youth co-ordinator at Richview Baptist.

To those ends, the church is currently seeking donations of saleable items for this year’s fundraiser – everything from new and gently used clothes and shoes, to books and games, to furniture and electronics, among others.

“To us, it’s all just stuff, but to people in Nicaragua with no access to clean water, those items that people donate are life-changing, life-altering, and life-saving,” Payne added.

In fact, over the span of the last five years running its mission trips, Payne said Richview Baptist has used the money raised from the church’s annual fundraising sale to send 74 missionaries to Nicaragua to undertake projects in partnership with Water Ambassadors Canada and Bridges of Hope.

Payne said the church hopes to continue that good work during this year’s upcoming trip in August, when the church will send a group of 20 or so missionaries to the mountainous Matagalpa region of Nicaragua for a week.

“Our goal this year is to repair four wells for communities that are currently walking miles and miles for dirty water – complete restorations to ensure they get clean water,” he said, noting that each well repair will cost about $2,000 and take a day or so to complete.

“We also have plans to build a house for a family of nine, and we’re going to bring another dental clinic, to do extractions, fillings,

and cleanings for people.

And we’ll also go back to feed the maternity ward for two nights.”

None of it will be possible, however, without the Etobicoke community’s support of Richview Baptist’s upcoming garage sale, which acts as the primary fundraiser for mission trips.

Payne said there are several ways local residents and businesses can help out.

Those with saleable items they wish to donate to the sale can drop them by the church, located at 1548 Kipling Ave. (two blocks north of Eglinton Avenue West), over the next three Sunday mornings (April 19 and 26, and May 3) from 9:30 to 10 a.m., or Tuesday evenings (April 21 and 28, and May 5) from 7 to 7:30 p.m.

Additionally, businesses and individuals wishing to donate restaurant gift cards, spa treatments, gift baskets, retail gift certificates, entertainment and amusement park passes, attraction and sporting tickets, etc towards the event’s silent auction, are also being sought.

And, last but not least, Payne said Richview Baptist is in need of dozens of additional volunteers to step up

to help make the sale a success.

“We could use 100 people, but we’ll take what we can get,” he laughed, noting that volunteers are being sought to help sale organizers sort and display sale items the week leading up to the event, as well as to help out with organization and cleanup on the day of the sale.

Volunteer hours, he added, can be provided to high school students wishing to help out.

“This event, for us, is more than just a sale and lots of great deals – it’s all about community. It’s about bringing our community together, from our seniors to our youth, to help make a lasting footprint in a community 3,500 kilometres away. And it’s about educating people about clean water and teaching them that we can all be very resourceful if we work as a team,” Payne said.

The rain-or-shine event will take place at Richview Baptist Church, 1548 Kipling Ave., on Saturday, May 9 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

EPO fosters community building through music Founded in 1960, the Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra will present its season finale on May 22 LISA RAINFORD lrainford@insidetoronto.com The Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra is an ideal way to introduce oneself to classical music – it’s not only less expensive than other orchestras to see, but also community minded.

It’s not unusual for audience members to know or recognize the musicians in the orchestra.

“There’s a community feel to it. The separation between orchestra and audience is less,” Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra Concertmaster Dr. Mark Whale said during a a recent conversation.

The new Swansea Village resident and England native joined the philharmonic orchestra in 2012.

“For me, it’s been a wonderful discovery,” he said.

W h e n W h a l e a r r i ve d in Canada, the violinist decided to pursue acada-

mia and didn’t think at the time that he’d ever play in a big orchestra again. Then, a friend introduced him to the

Etobicoke orchestra.

“I love it. We are playing great music,” Whale said.

“What do you do at the age

of 50 when the kids go off to school? Maybe you were sporty, but you’re getting older now.”

The orchestra serves as a social community that provides a great sense of achievement, Whale said, adding that it’s a great way to meet new people. Though it’s based in Etobicoke, membership is open to people across the west-end.

“Music gives you focus,” he said.

The Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra p r e s e n t s ‘A r i a s a n d a Symphony’ Friday, May 22, at Martingrove Collegiate Institute at 8 p.m. This concert is the orchestra’s season finale that features two soloists performing popular arias and duets. The close of the season includes Rachmaninoff ’s Second Symphony.

Founded more than 50 years ago, Cecil Rose, an Etobicoke businessman can be credited for recognizing the need for a community orchestra in which amateur

musicians could perform the masterpieces of the classics – for fun.

In 1960, Rose rented the local YMCA for rehearsals and with support from neighbourhood newspapers spread the word. By year’s end, the orchestra boasted 90 performers. The first concert was performed Feb. 22, 1961 and played to a full auditorium of friends and family. Following the inaugural season, the orchestra sought a charter from the Ontario government to form the Etobicoke Philharmonic Society, whose objective is to “promote, encourage and foster the performance of serious music, as well as to promote amateur talent and encourage the development of musicians in the community.”

Ideal volunteer opportunities for youngsters Youngsters are often enthusiastic about volunteering, and that enthusiasm only increases when kids find the right volunteer opportunities. The following are a handful of places that typically offer volunteer opportunities tailor-made for youngsters who want to give back to their communities.

Nature cleanup: Kids can join large groups to clear beaches and parks of litter and debris, all the while spending a few hours outdoors in the sun.

Soup kitchen: Soup kitchens may open Middle school students and high schoolers’ eyes to the reality that not everyone is as fortunate as they are, instilling a sense of obligation to the less fortunate

that can serve kids well for the rest of their lives.

Nursing home: Residents of nursing homes may experience newfound vigour when getting a visit from a child. Parents can contact local nursing homes or communities to learn about volunteer opportunities for children.

Animal shelter: Local animal shelters and veterinary hospitals often have ample opportunities for youngsters with a love of animals. Some shelters may not allow kids under the age of 18 to have direct contact with the animals, so parents should inquire ahead of time.

Prevent stroke to prevent dementia Did you know that reducing your risk of stroke may also help to prevent dementia?

Research by Dr. Sandra Black at the University of Toronto, and supported in part by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, is pointing in that direction. Health Canada has a list of recommendations for avoiding a stroke, as follows: • Quit smoking.

• Have your blood pressure checked regularly, and take medication to lower your blood pressure if necessary.

• Eat plenty of fibre, and limit your intake of foods

high in salt or fat.

• Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

• Stay physically active.

• Limit your alcohol intake.

• Before taking an over-the-counter medication, ask your pharmacist if it could increase your blood pressure.

• If you have diabetes, manage your blood sugar carefully.

• If you know that heart disease or stroke run in your family, be sure to have regular check-ups.

Beat Lower Back, Disc And Sciatic Pain Now

hankfully, new natural treatment methods help many find the relief they had been searching for.

Sciatica is a painful condition that affects the sciatic nerve.

The pain usually radiates into one or both buttocks, descends the back of the leg and can sometime be felt in the foot. It is often a severe, knife-like pain, but can also be noticed as numbness or tingling in the leg and foot. It is unpredictable and does not go away even when you change positions or lay down.

Sciatica can result from years of poor posture, muscle strain, pregnancy, excess weight, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a very soft mattress. Sciatica is often a symptom of a slipped disc, pinched nerve or arthritis.

Although pain pills may temporarily cover up the symptoms, our holistic approach can provide a more effective, long term relief. “Our team members apply their individual skills and knowledge to make an accurate diagnosis and administer the right treatment that will get the best result for each patient.”

Dr. Peter Ng has a special interest in natural pain relief and Chinese medicine.

TTCriders has launched another transit awareness campaign, this time challenging Toronto MPPs to take a ride on the Better Way. So far, only Peter Tabuns and Cheri DiNovo of the NDP and Arthur Potts of the Liberals have taken up the advocacy group’s challenge to commute to and from Queen’s Park for a week solely by TTC to see how cramped conditions are for riders.

Faustina Fury continues to give back hope Ball hockey tournament in May supports juvenile arthritis and juvenile Type 1 diabetes

CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com The Faustina Fury Minor Atom Select team is once again banding together to champion the causes of two of its young players at its 2015 Giving Back Hope fundraiser.

All money raised at this year’s main event – the Bar Down by the Lake ball hockey tournament in May – will again go towards supporting juvenile arthritis and juvenile Type 1 diabetes: chronic diseases that impact the day-to-day lives of teammates Jake Da Luz, 11, and Avery DiMaria, 10, respectively.

To those ends, event coorganizer Jen Magnus said half the proceeds from this, the 3rd Annual Giving Back Hope fundraiser, will support the juvenile arthritis research team at SickKids Hospital that helped give Jake his mobility back, while the other half will go to Warren Retrievers, a non-

profit service dog organization that provided a diabetic alert dog to Avery.

“This team is such a good team at supporting everybody, both on and off the ice. They’re very, very supportive of each other – and that doesn’t end on the rink,” said Magnus, Avery’s mom, of the team’s commitment to the fundraiser on behalf of Jake and her daughter. “Their friendships go beyond hockey.”

Both Jake and Avery’s “perseverance and determination” to live full and active lives despite their sometimes debilitating conditions served as the original inspiration behind the Giving Back Hope fundraiser, which the team first launched back in 2013.

So far, that inspiration has paid off – the annual fundraiser raised more than $6,500 in its first two years. And with this year’s Bar Down by the Lake ball hockey tournament, Magnus said she and

fundraising goal this year is the Toronto Marlies, who already donated $5 from every game ticket sold by the Faustina Fury to one of its recent games to the cause – a fundraiser that helped raise nearly $800.

“This whole thing kind of gives (Jake and Avery) the support to know that somebody does care, and that people are willing to help us raise money for research and for things that affect them personally,” Magnus said. “And it also helps spread awareness, and shows the other kids that our kids can do everything that everyone else can do, and that it’s okay to ask questions (about arthritis and diabetes).”

The Bar Down by the Lake ball hockey tournament will take place on Saturday, May 23 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the outdoor rink at Sir Adam Beck Park, 10 Orianna Dr. (near Brown’s Line and Horner Avenue).

The three-on-three co-ed event will include a round robin tournament, with a championship round and awards presented to the winning team in each age category.

of the tournament’s four age divisions (accommodating kids aged five to 17+) are still available. The cost is $300 per team of eight to 10 players.

Even families not interested in playing are invited to come down to the tournament, cheer on a team, enjoy a barbecue and bid on silent auction items. The event will also feature an appearance by a surprise member of the Toronto Maple Leafs alumni.

A range of sponsorship opportunities are also available – from those wishing to donate funds to help offset tournament costs and maximize fundraising proceeds, to those interested in donating silent auction items, prizes, and food/beverages to help support the event.

Lowering your Car Insurance can have Devastating Results

G

et ready to pick your jaw off the floor. I am a personal injury lawyer who is encouraging you to spend more money on insurance coverage.

It may seem strange given that I spend my days fighting against these very companies on behalf of injured plaintiffs.

Let me explain why. Most people in Ontario have 1 million in coverage. Sounds like a lot right? It’s not at all. If you are in a car accident with minor injuries that is more than sufficient, however, if you are involved in an accident where you cause someone else major injuries (e.g. brain injury, paraplegic, quadriplegic) then you are on the hook personally for everything over that 1 million. This can have devastating

effects on both an emotional and financial level. You may think you are such a great driver that the Indy 500 is second from knocking down your door. Unfortunately, that doesn’t really matter. If some joe shmo (that is the legal term) hits you and you or your family member is injured badly, and good old joe has 1 million of coverage, you only have 1 million to access. Now, this is where it gets complicated so pay attention, if you have 2 million and he has 1 million, your insurer will kick in the extra million. So basically if your policy has 2 million you are covered for 2 million regardless of the insurance policy of joe shmo. Make sense? The best thing to do is speak with a broker. Make sure you have enough insurance to cover you if you are hit. Think about how much you would need if you could never work again.

This is a very real possibility for some of my clients. Then once you have that number, make sure you are covered for that amount.

Satellite dialysis centre coming to Etobicoke General: Hoskins Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins recently announced government support of a future satellite dialysis centre at Etobicoke General Hospital.

Etobicoke resident Robert Johnstone is one of a “significant number of patients” served by Etobicoke General who will soon access dialysis closer to home rather than traveling three times a week to Brampton Civic Hospital for treatment, hospital officials said.

“This new satellite dialysis centre will help to ease a significant burden for patients suffering with kidney disease who will soon be able to access services closer to home,” Hoskins said in a statement.

“Today’s announcement demonstrates our government’s commitment to putting patients first, connecting them with quality services in the community.”

William Osler Health System, which operates Etobicoke General and Brampton Civic hospitals, is one of 26 Chronic Kidney Disease Programs across Ontario. Last year, it saw more than 72,000 patient visits at Brampton Civic Hospital.

The future dialysis centre will include 36 stations and provide pre-dialysis treatment and haemodialysis for patients, along with home dialysis training, hospital officials said.

It will be located in the soon-to-be-constructed ancillary services building at Etobicoke General.

That medical building will house a number of outpatient programs and services, including seniors’ wellness, mental health and addiction, COPD and cardiac.

“Osler’s new satellite dialysis centre will offer treatment closer to home for our renal patients and greater access to the services this community needs most,” Osler president and CEO Matthew Anderson said in a statement.

Sarah is 38, a down-to-earth, simple living, country girl & a natural beauty. She has never been married & has no children of her own. She grew up on her parents farm, then moved away & started her own bakery when she was 23. At 29 her mother passed away suddenly, leaving her father by himself & Sarah with a very difficult decision. As much as she loved her bakery, family comes first, so she sold her business & moved back to help her father operate the farm.

She is very happy there and it’s expanded with extra employees.

Sarah is very hard working & success driven, but she has not had much time to herself to find a serious relationship. Now that her father is retired & she has help on the farm, she has a lot more time to enjoy herself & is hoping to find that special someone to spend her life with. She is looking for a man who likes the country life, is energetic, active & outdoorsy.
