Hear the Queensmen in concert Male choir joins Rosethorn children’s choir for Christmas performance TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com The Queensmen of Toronto Male Chorus is seeking a few good men to enrich its sound and vibrancy. Some men – fathers, grandfathers, uncles and brothers
of Rosethorn Junior School’s choir – will get the chance to showcase their pipes next week when the children’s choir joins the Queensmen at its annual Christmas concert. The Queensmen’s Christmas concert takes place Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Humber
Valley United Church, 76 Anglesey Blvd. east of Islington Avenue. The musical program includes traditional Christmas songs, gospel, an Elvis medley and pieces sung by both choirs, including You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch, the song made famous
in the iconic 1966 cartoon special that airs on television every December. The Queensmen promote and foster male choral singing as an art form, encourage male youth to join and support middle- and secondary school>>>CHOIR, page 12
Concerns about potential increased traffic, strained infrastructure, overloaded sewage systems, density and height issues and loss of green space dominated the second meeting of the newly formed Glen Agar Residents Association (GARA) – a ratepayers’ group launched recently in reaction to the sale of a community school to a local developer. More than 100 residents came out to the recent meeting at the former Kipling Grove School to voice their concerns over the impending fallout from the Toronto District School Board’s ( TDSB) sale of the six-acre site at 19 Glen Agar Dr. – which currently houses Phoenix Montessori School and Kiddie Village Daycare Centre – to Minto Group Inc., a family owned integrated real estate development, construction and management company. Longtime local resident Ken Copeman, whom the standing-room-only audience at last week’s meeting elected as GARA’s president, said that while Minto’s representatives chose not to attend the meet>>>MINTO, page 14

YTV stars go game-show style to warn students about gambling addiction
CAROLLING IN THE KINGSWAY
CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com Central Etobicoke High School (CEHS) students were treated to an eye-openingly interactive – and side-splittingly funny – game-show-style presentation about the dangers of gambling addiction this week, courtesy of the wise-cracking TV personalities behind YTV’s Splatalot. The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) commissioned Etobicoke’s Jason Agnew and longtime co-host Matt Philips to host its newly launched Game Brain educational game show, which has been on a tour of Ontario high schools for the last six weeks with stops in Sarnia, Sudbury, North Bay, Lindsay and Etobicoke, to name a few. During the one-hour live show’s stop at CEHS on last Tuesday afternoon, Agnew and Philips kept the participating students in stitches during five game-show-style activities, while also delivering an important message about the pitfalls of gambling addiction. “It’s one of those things where it’s both entertaining and educational. We’re up there spitting out the facts, but we’re doing it in an entertaining way,” Agnew said of Game Brain, which was launched this fall to replace RGC’s decade-long run of dramatic productions. “The stat is one in every 25 students runs the risk of developing a gambling problem, so that’s why we’re out doing this. One of the things they say is know the risks now, so it helps you later. So that’s what we’re trying to do.”

Jason Agnew hosts Game Brain at Etobicoke Central High School last Tuesday afternoon.
Matthew Garrelhas, 18, was just one of about 20 CEHS students brought up to the stage Tuesday to buzz in against his classmates in a True or False faceoff. Some of the questions asked of the students in that challenge included: n Your chances of becoming the next Channing Tatum or Jennifer Lawrence are better than your parents’ chances of winning the lottery – which, Agnew explained, is true, due to the fact that the odds of becoming a movie star are one in 1.5 million, while the odds of winning the lottery are one in 14 million. n You’re more likely to overcome a zombie apocalypse than get help for a gambling problem – a statement which is false, Agnew said: “We don’t know what would happen with a zombie apocalypse, but a gambling problem you can get help for. That’s why
we’re here today.” n And, a person between 18 and 24 years old is in the age group that’s at the highest risk of developing a gambling problem – a statement Garrelhas said he was surprised to learn is true. “I didn’t know teens were more influenced by gambling,” he said. Kevin Noel, chief operating officer of the RGC – an independent non-profit organization dedicated to problem gambling prevention – said the pair were the right choice of hosts for Game Brain, which was designed to educate students in an engaging way about the realities of gambling, losses, signs of a problem, avoiding the risks and available help resources.

Mayor Tory must look beyond inner circle to grasp city’s vast issues
Write us
I
t’s premature to start criticizing Mayor John Tory’s appointments – he’s only been on the job for four days, and having four deputy mayors is surely better than one. Right? At first blush, the selection of his second-in-command, North York’s Denzil Minnan-Wong, and the other three deputy mayors – Scarborough’s Glenn De Baeremaeker (east), Etobicoke’s Vincent Crisanti (west) and downtown councillor Pam McConnell (south) – seems balanced, however, a large swath of the city appears to be left without the ear of Toronto’s freshly minted mayor. It looks like the status quo is how Mayor Tory is approaching the start of the 2014 to 2018 Toronto City Council. Looking for experience was the key to the appointments, he said. This is not a bad thing; it’s our view shrewd taking into consideration most councillors are the same Experience ones who held those seats before guides mayor’s the election. The mayor is different, but appointments most of council has remained the same – how will Mayor Tory handle this when last term was often difficult? Despite words to the contrary, the left on council seem to be out of the mayor’s inner circle. Granted, De Baeremaeker is by no means on the right and McConnell is a dyed-in-the-wool NDPer, but they have been tasked with bringing issues from large parts of the city to the mayor. How can De Baeremaeker and McConnell bring the many issues of Scarborough and the downtown, respectively, to the fore? Scarborough is a huge area and the downtown core is a complicated part of the city. Tory’s executive committee seems a bit better, with more progressive-voting voices. We ask that Mayor Tory regulary revisit his choices as council progresses – see who is doing a great job, not just a passable job. Perhaps there is room for more names in his inner circle? His door should always be open to councillors who are not directly meeting with him on a regular basis. They deserve an ear (or two) – and through them their constituents – in order to be able to provide our freshly minted mayor a true understanding of the diverse city he is now responsible for ‘uniting’.

Is this the return of the long-extinct Red Tory?
W
e are at a peculiar moment in history, and we should all take a moment to savour it. For the first time this century, and in this province, the Red Tories are in power. It’s been a long time — properly, the until-now extinct breed of Progressive Conservative government last saw power in 1985, when former Premier Bill Davis left Queen’s Park and eventually Mike Harris’ hard-right Tories changed the conversation on the right, seemingly for good. Well, that’s all changed. On Tuesday afternoon at city hall, John Tory made it clear that the Red Tories are back, and will be running things in Toronto for the next four years. Just to make it clear, he brought along his old friend and onetime boss Bill Davis – still demonstrably capable of delivering the kind of blistering charm offensive that kept Ontario in the hands of the Tories for four decades
david nickle the city last century. Davis and his predecessors maintained power by carefully balancing the needs of a post-war Ontario with its limitations, running as perfectly as they might up the middle of the political road: socially progressive and fiscally conservative. Also, as Davis put it afterwards to reporters, it doesn’t hurt to be a bit “bland.” Tory went to some lengths to make it clear that he’s taking more than a page from Davis’ playbook. In a lengthy inaugural address, Tory made brief mention of the need to find efficiencies in the budget and spent a lot of time speaking passionately about the need to mitigate the poisonous effects of income inequality, racial divisions and other ills that have divided the city.
“
In a lengthy inaugural address, Tory...spent a lot of time speaking passionately about the need to mitigate the poisonous effects of income inequality, racial divisions and other ills that have divided the city.
“None of us can be satisfied with the snapshot that has emerged in recent years, of a city unfairly and unjustly divided by income, class and geography. None of us can rest easy knowing that 150,000 Toronto kids are growing up in poverty — or that 15 neighbourhoods have poverty rates of 40 per cent or more,” Tory said. Listening to Tory speak, after hearing from antiviolence advocate Louise Russo talk from her wheelchair, about the importance
of bringing council together, it was impossible not to contrast the event with former mayor Ford’s inaugural, where he snickered while Don Cherry told “pinkos” on council how they’d better watch out because there was a new guy in town. The new guy this time went out of his way to avoid such provocations, even as he laid out some challenges, to work together to deal with Toronto’s problems in a clear-headed and nonideological way. It remains to be seen whether this old-fashioned approach to politics will yield anything other than more of the same. But it’s an optimistic note on which to begin things. After all we’ve been through, a little Red Tory blandness is more than a little tempting. David Nickle is The Guardian’s city hall reporter. His column appears Thursdays.

Turner and Porter team raises more than $20K for Dorothy Ley Hospice The team at Turner and Porter raised more than $20,000 for the Dorothy Ley Hospice during the recent sixth annual Bed Race.

the etobicoke guardian special feature
our exclusive look
Paramedics want you to know when you should, and should not call 911
Make the Right Call campaign asks people to consider all of their health care options cynthia reason safe in the city
H
aving chest pains, trouble breathing, uncontrollable bleeding or suffering a traumatic injury? Don’t hesitate – call 911 immediately. But if simply suffering flu or cold symptoms, fevers, cuts, sprains or any other relatively minor ailment, you may wish to heed the advice of a new public information campaign recently launched by To r o n t o Pa ra m e d i c Services, asking residents to stop, consider their options, and, most importantly, “make the right call.” Running until the end of December, the Make the Right Call campaign is one Toronto Paramedic Services Chief Paul Raftis said is designed to educate the public about the healthcare alternatives available to them in non-emergency situations – whether that be seeking medical advice from the registered nurses on-call around the clock at Telehealth Ontario’s 24/7 telephone line; visiting any one of the 2,720 walk-in clinics in Toronto; or simply booking an appointment with a family physician. “We wanted to get the campaign set up right before the flu season, because we and the whole health-care system see a big spike across December and into January, so we’re trying to mitigate some of that emergency call volume,” Raftis said, noting that Toronto’s highly trained paramedics respond to more than 250,000 emergency calls a year (or about 685 calls a day). “Since 2005 we’ve seen a really big spike with the aging population – we’ve actually transported about 60,000 new patients every year since then – so it’s a very, very high

If you’re ever in doubt, by all means call 911 – but paramedics want you to be aware of other options available for health concerns, such as walk-in clinics and calling Telehealth Ontario.
call volume.” Many of those callers, however, are simply not aware they have options other than calling 911 for non-medical emergency situations, Raftis said. While calling 911 for an ambulance essentially means callers receive a mobile emergency room staffed by highly trained paramedics at their doorstep, that kind of service is not always necessary for minor medical problems – and doing so can often needlessly divert paramedic resources from responding more quickly to real medical emergencies. “It takes some ambulances out of service, when they’re servicing calls that maybe we don’t need to,” Raftis said. “It’s probably a few thousand calls a year, but those few thousand calls, if we were able to, we’d be able to service emergency calls more quickly if we weren’t tied up
Options for non-medical emergencies 1. Call Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000 for a free, confidential telephone service offering up health advice and/ or general health information from a registered nurse. For residents coming down with the flu, for example, calling Telehealth Ontario may be a good option for quick advice on how to manage the illness. For more information go to www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/telehealth/ 2. A visit to the family physician is another good option for those suffering relatively minor aiments. For those residents who don’t currently have a family doctor, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care offers up responding to those (nonemergency situations).” That said, the Make the Right Call campaign – which has been translated into 10
an online Health Care Connect Program at www.health.gov. on.ca/en/ms/healthcareconnect/public/overview.aspx to help connect them with a local doctor taking new patients. 3. Walk-in clinics are also excellent options for those looking to avoid a trip to the emergency room, but can’t wait for an appointment with their doctor. Walk-in clinics are a good option for when a family member has a cut, sprain or another relatively minor ailment and would like it seen by a medical professional. To find a clinic residents need only key-in their postal code at www.ontario.ca/locations/health/ different languages and is being advertised over social media, radio, TV and newspaper ads – isn’t about telling people not to
call 911 when they need to, but simply urging them to educate themselves about their health-care options, Raftis said. “It’s important to us that people know, if you have a serious medical emergency, don’t feel bad about calling 911. Call us, and we’ll have highly trained, highly skilled paramedics come and take care of you. We really want to focus on folks calling us when they have a serious emergency – and if they’re ever in doubt, they should always feel comfortable calling us,” he assured. “But if they just take that second to ask themselves, you know, ‘could this be dealt with better at a walk-in clinic or another route?’, that could be helpful to us.” To p s a m o n g s t t h o s e alternative options is calling Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000, a free, confidential, 24/7 telephone
service anyone can contact to get health advice from a registered nurse, who can assess your symptoms and help you decide your best first step – whether that be to care for yourself at home, to make an appointment with a family doctor, or to go to a walk-in clinic or a hospital emergency room. “We want to remind everybody that for things like the flu or sprains or fever or minor things like that, rather than just calling 911, people can phone Telehealth for some advice,” Raftis said. “It’s a great option, but most people don’t know about Telehealth – either they haven’t heard about it or haven’t placed it in their minds as an option.” SAFE IN THE CITY appears in The Etobicoke Guardian the first Thursday of every month.

The Queensmen of Toronto Male Chorus performs Tuesday evening at the Village of Humber Heights retirement residence under direction of Oksana Vignan.
Since, the Queensmen have traveled widely, earned a reputation internationally, and provided leadership in the Associated Male Choruses of Ontario, which has five member choruses. Vignan lauded the 20-or-so member Queensmen for their “devotion and dedication.” “They’re such a good group of men,” Vignan said of the Queensmen, who sing fourpart harmonies.

“They really take pride in and value their legacy and want to see it move forward.” Growing the Queensmen’s membership is a top priority, she said, followed by extending its repertoire to “sing anything, whether Brahms, Bach, Beethoven, Mr. Grinch, it doesn’t matter. There is so much we can do musically.” Gordon Jar vis, a Queensmen bass and bari-

We’re thoroughly enjoying her.” Jarvis said affording young men an opportunity to continue their passion for music after high school is among the group’s most-important missions.
“We’d like to have more men sing with us, particularly young men,” Jarvis said. “If they’ve done some music at school, this is a way to continue with music without going to university or becoming a professional musician.” The chorus has performed with chamber choirs, youth choirs and school orchestras, including John G. Althouse Middle School, Karen Kain School of the Arts, Etobicoke School of the Arts and Etobicoke Collegiate, among others.

Orlando Corp. pledges $15M to Osler hospitals in match gift William Osler Health System has received the single-largest challenge match gift made to any community hospital in Canada. Orlando Corporation will donate as much as $5 million to each of Osler’s three hospitals – Etobicoke General, Brampton Civic and the new Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness. The company has pledged to match other donors’ gifts up to $15 million. Orlando President Phil King announced the recordbreaking challenge gift at Osler Foundation’s recent One Night Two Stars Three Hospitals benefit concert headlined by Tom Cochrane with Red Rider and Chantal Kreviazuk before 600 people at Brampton’s Rose Theatre. The challenge has the potential to generate $30 million, and will kickstart Osler’s $100-million multi-year capital campaign, Osler officials said. “Orlando Corporation has

Phil King's announcement was met with thunderous applause by a packed house at the Rose Theatre in Brampton. Orlando Corporation's matching gift challenge is the single largest gift to a community hospital in Canada and has the potential to generate $30 million for Osler's three hospitals.
a long history of community support in both Etobicoke and Brampton and we’re fully aware of the critical importance of the work done by Osler and the tremendous need to ensure these fine hospitals, physicians and staff have the resources needed to continue to provide excellent health care to all those who live and work in our communities,” King said in a statement. Ken Mayhew, Osler founda-
tion president and CEO, called Orlando’s donation “an incredible opportunity”. “This Canadian-first donation is a true game changer,” Mayhew said in a statement. Orlando is Canada’s largest privately owned industrial real estate developer and landlord. Orlando owns, leases and manages more than 40-million square feet of industrial, office and retail property.
Doug Ford won’t pursue PC party leadership Throws support behind family friend Christine Elliot CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.Com In what he characterized as the “most difficult decision” of his life, Doug Ford announced last week that he will not be running for the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party. “( This decision) was tougher than deciding whether to run for mayor, to run for council, or any decision I’ve ever made,” Ford, the runner-up in last month’s mayoral election, said at a press conference last Thursday in Etobicoke outside his family business, Deco Labels and Tags. “This, by far, is the toughest decision. I decided right up to literally last night. I know my priority is my family; my priority is our business. But that doesn’t mean I won’t be there for the people of Ontario, making sure we have proper government running this province.”

Doug Ford announces to the media last week he will not seek to lead the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party.
While Ford said he is confident any one of the five other candidates in the race for the PC leadership – including MPPs Christine Elliott ( Whitby-Oshawa), Vic Fedeli (Nipissing), Lisa MacLeod (Nepean-Carleton) and Monte McNaughton (Lambton-Kent-Middlesex), and MP Patrick Brown (Barrie) – “would do a much
better job than what we have right now in the province,” he singled out Elliott, a longtime family friend and the widow of former Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty, as the candidate he’ll be throwing his support behind. “Loyalty means everything to us,” he said, noting how Elliott and Flaherty supported brother Rob in his bid for the Toronto mayoralty four years ago. “Christine is an extremely, extremely bright individual, and she can drive this province forward, and yes, I’d be supporting Christine Elliott.” Meanwhile, Ford said while he will be taking a “little break” from politics, he will not rule out another run for office in the future – including potentially following in the footsteps of his late father, Doug Ford Sr. (who served as MPP for now-abolished riding of Etobicoke—Humber from 1995-1999), and running to become the next MPP for Etobicoke North.

Minto promising to consult with residents on project >>>from page 1 ing – which they permitted to take place in the Kipling Grove gymnasium – they had nevertheless committed to meeting with GARA in the near future. “Minto has offered to meet with the executive at our convenience, to discuss any of the issues that come up tonight,” Copeman told meeting attendees last Thursday, urging them to come forward with their concerns about the imminent redevelopment of Kipling Grove School. “Our focus for this group, for this property, is to try to work with Minto and work with the City of Toronto... we want to work with them, and tonight we want to find out what the concerns of this group are – traffic, noise, water, sewage, all that kind of stuff.” While speculation as to Minto’s plans for the Kipling Grove site – for which the developer reportedly paid $18.1 million – ran rampant at the GARA meeting, Copeman
said that, as yet, the developers do not appear to have submitted any applications to the city to rezone the site. Given the price tag and the size of the site, however, he cautioned residents to be prepared for a high-density proposal from Minto. “The interesting thing is that the zoning that’s current for this property is equivalent to what’s on the other side of the street – so, in theory, Minto could replicate the Glen Agar area in here and have very little problem getting the permits to do that, outside of the sewage and water problems,” he said. “The trick is that it would be very difficult that way to get the density required to make it profitable. And that’s the big concern...They’ll have to put some density on this property to make any money.” In an interview with The Guardian, Minto’s director of land development, James Bujak, said Minto’s representatives are not yet prepared to

discuss their proposed plans for 19 Glen Agar. Dr. “At the moment, we’re not in a position to comment on the nature of the proposal, because we just acquired the site and we’re still in the planning process,” he said. “Once we’re a bit further along, absolutely, but we’re just not there yet.”

Bujak did, however, confirm that Minto has agreed to meet with the GARA executive in the near future to discuss the concerns of local residents as they pertain to the development of the former Kipling Grove School. A date for that meeting has not yet been set. “We’re anxious and happy
to sit down with them to work through the process,” he said, noting that Minto will “absolutely” engage in community consultation when the time is right. GARA – which is bounded by Pr incess Margaret Boulevard to the north, Kipling Avenue to the east, Rathburn Road to the south and Martin Grove Road to the west and includes some 850 dwellings – was founded in late October with just 30 or so members, but has grown over the course of just a month to include more than 100 local residents. Ward 3’s new councillor Stephen Holyday, who also attended last Thursday’s meeting, commended the members of GARA for their forward thinking in forming a residents’ association and offered his assistance in getting the residents’ concerns heard. “Just like you, I want to see any changes that come to the neighbourhood change effectively and change responsi-
bly,” said Holyday, who, as a resident of Abinger Crescent, lives in the GARA catchment area with his wife and three young children. “This is an extremely important way to get your voice heard; it’s a way for you to channel your questions and concerns in an efficient manner. “What I’m here to tell you tonight is that my door is open to you as residents...I think this is the start of a long relationship. I’m happy to be here tonight and I’m happy to continue to be your neighbour in this area and to be your connection to city hall, so that you can get the information that you need and get the resources that you need.” In addition to Copeman’s election as GARA president, members of the residents’ association also elected George Chilakos as GARA’s secretary.

It is with great appreciation that I inform you I have sold property as a direct result of your publication. On the day of my open house a couple came through on the recommendation of her mother, who had seen my ad that morning. Having no Realtor of their own, they signed me to represent them and placed an offer on this very unit. Shortly thereafter I listed their previous property for sale and the rest is, as they say, history. Advertising works - this is proof! Many thanks to The Guardian!

“Best”
Thorncrest Ford has been part of the Etobicoke community since 1947. It was established by two returning WWII R.C.A.F. veterans at the corner of Dundas and Islington. Since then, the community has grown and prospered. Thorncrest Ford has also transformed through the years, by changing locations, updating it’s look and providing new and improved Ford vehicles. In 1985, to meet the needs of the community,Thorncrest Ford amalgamated with Sherway Ford Truck Sales to create Thorncrest Sherway Inc. at its current convenient location on The Queensway. A major renovation and expansion to the Showroom and Service capacity was completed in 1988. One thing that has not changed is Thorncrest Ford’s commitment to providing Etobicoke and the GTA the “Best” customer experience. Of our many awards, we are most proud of being the only GTA car dealership to earn 16 consecutive Consumer Choice Awards (and counting) where you, our customer, have voted us the “Best”. Starting November 1st, 2014, we will be renovating and upgrading our facility to serve you “Best”. In cooperation with the Ford Motor Company, we will be adding the latest technologies, innovations and services to become a dealership for the future. For example, to be a fully competitive facility, our service department is expanding to include a state-of-the-art, all-season, climate controlled drive-thru reception area and Quick Lane. Quick Lane will provide vehicle maintenance and light repair at affordable prices with no appointment necessary.This renovation is the next chapter in Thorncrest Ford’s long history in Etobicoke, showing our dedication to the community for the future. During our renovations, all departments will be fully operational to serve you “Best”. As always, we welcome you to purchase or service your vehicle at Thorncrest Ford now, and for the future.

Workers’ coalition, Metrolinx meet over Union-Pearson Express A coalition of airport workers and transit advocates will meet on Thursday with a high-ranking Metrolinx official to discuss concerns for the Union Pearson Express (UPX) air rail link. UPX President Kathy Haley has agreed to sit down with representatives from the coalition, which includes the Toronto Airport Council of Unions, the Clean Train Coalition and TTCriders, a spokesperson for the group confirmed late last week. In addition to demanding fares comparable with the TTC for the service, the coalition wants to see UPX electrified and expanded beyond its initial four-stop route. It’s scheduled to launch next spring. #grumpyrider campaign wAnnouncing
TTCriders has launched its latest social media campaign, calling on fed-up transit commission users to post grumpy
rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT “selfies” in reaction to the latest delay in service. “Next time you’re feeling grumpy on the TTC snap and send a #grumpyrider selfie to us and our elected officials at City Hall and Queen’s Park,” says the group in a press release.

Another four transit stations have wireless internet, the TTC announced last week. Dundas, Queen, King and Union stations are now part of the burgeoning TConnect network, which is accessible from subway platforms for free after viewing an advertisement. The stations join Bloor-Yonge, St. George, Bay, Wellesley and College, with more downtown stations scheduled to go online before

Presto is now available on the new TTC streetcars. The preloaded fare card allows riders to pay by “tapping on” at specially designed access portals. It launched on two of the TTC’s sleek new streetcars last Sunday, the only vehicles operated by transit commission to offer the service. A third TTC streetcar, which just recently began running on the 510 Spadina tracks, will also offer Presto in the near future, although it will still be several more years before Presto is fully available on all TTC vehicles.

Patricia Metivier, left, accepts her Athlete of the Month award for November from Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame chair Joanne Noble. Metivier posted a time of 3:26:33 in her first ever marathon in Chicago this fall.
Athlete of the month posts sizzling time in marathon debut Patricia Metivier, a longtime resident of Etobicoke and teacher at Etobicoke’s Michael Power/St. Joseph High School, has long been involved in the sport of running. But it was only this fall, she competed in her first marathon – with outstanding results. In her age category (45-49) in the Chicago Marathon, held Oct. 12, she was 35th overall in a time of 3:26:33. That’s not bad considering the mammoth marathon had more than 1,000 entries in that particular age category alone. She was the fourth fastest Canadian in the category and if the results were split among single ages, she would have been the third fastest women for her age. A family affair Coached by her husband Andre, training became a family affair. Along this journey she was supported by her nephew Matthew Turano, also a resident of Etobicoke, and her three children who at times would go for a run with their mom. “I was so impressed with Patti’s finishing time for her first marathon,” said Joanne Noble, chair of the Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame, in a release announcing the athlete of the month. “She is a natural born runner and after having such a great experience with her first marathon, I’m sure the next one is in the near future.” The Athlete of the Month is sponsored by The Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame, Humber College, Canadian Tire – The Queensway and The Etobicoke Guardian.

Come on Etobicoke!
� Be nice Clear Your
�
Ice �
Snow and ice on your sidewalk can create a dangerous situation for pedestrians in your neighbourhood. Many people are hurt each year by falls on slippery sidewalks. But you can help keep your street safe. In Etobicoke, the City ofToronto clears snow and ice from the sidewalks. In December and March, the city plows the sidewalk after eight cm of snow has fallen. In January and February, the city plows after five cm has fallen. If the snowfall is less than eight cm (in December and March), or five cm (in January and February), it's your responsibility to clear the sidewalk. So, Etobicoke – Be nice and clear the snow and ice from the sidewalks. It's the right thing to do.

Air cadet Ashley Eugine given top honours CYNTHIA REASON creason@insidetoronto.com An Etobicoke teen has been named Cadet of the Year by the Air Cadet League of Canada’s Ontario Provincial Committee (OPC). Warrant Officer 1st Class Ashley Eugine of Etobicoke’s 7 0 0 D a v i d Ho r n e l l VC Squadron was re-presented with the Brig.-Gen. Bob Robert Shield OPC Cadet of the Year award in front of her fellow cadets at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School last month, after first being recognized with the honour during a ceremony at the OPC’s Annual General Meeting on Oct. 25. In a statement to Parliament two days later, Etobicoke North MP Kirsty Duncan praised Eugine and her fellow cadets in Etobicoke’s “outstanding” 700 Squadron. “Mr. Speaker, I celebrate each and every one of the extraordinary Royal Canadian air cadets in the 700 David Hornell VC Squadron,” she
said. “Warrant Officer 1st Class Ashley Eugine, a firstyear McMaster student who travels back every weekend to serve, was named Air Cadet of the Year from 8,500 air cadets in 114 squadrons, which is a tremendous achievement.” Duncan also noted several other 700 David Hornell VC Squadron members were also recognized at the OPC’s AGM, including: • Recently retired Warrant Officer 2nd Class Nikhil Peri, who now attends the University of Ottawa, received a Hamilton Flying Club Award as the top student pilot from this past summer’s Air Cadet Power Pilot Scholarship program; • Lt. Jack Tornabene, 700 Squadron’s Deputy Training Officer (and the father of a cadet), received a provincial Certificate of Merit; • And Maj. David S. Brown, commanding officer of 700 Squadron, received a Cadet Instructor Cadre Award of Excellence, of which only six

Program in Etobicoke,” Brown said, noting the squadron has had other award recipients over the past few years. The 700 David Hornell VC Squadron trains/parades

out of Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School and boasts a membership of nearly 200 men and women aged 12 to 18. The squadron is named
after Mimico-born Victoria Cross recipient David Ernest Hornell, a flight lieutenant during the Second World War. Hornell was on sea patrol near the Faroes in the North Atlantic on June 24, 1944 when his aircraft was attacked and badly damaged by a German U-boat. Hornell and his crew were nevertheless successful in sinking the submarine, after which Hornell managed to bring his burning aircraft down into the ocean. Hornell – blinded and weak from exposure and cold – was among the survivors rescued 21 hours later, but died shortly thereafter. He was awarded the Victoria Cross – the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces – posthumously.
