Reunion of sisters aided by Baycrest social worker Chance sighting of woman who looked like her sparked search fannie sunshine Fsunshine@insidetoronto.com Marie Charlebois was watching the news when a woman with striking similarities to her own came on the screen. The 2013 segment was about a class-action lawsuit filed against government-run Huronia Regional Centre in Orillia by Marie Slark and Patricia Seth, who alleged abuse and neglect of residents, all of whom had developmental and intellectual disabilities. The suit, which covered those institutionalized between 1945 and 2009, was settled for $35 million. The centre closed in 2009. Charlebois was sent to live at the centre at age 10-anda-half and spent seven years there, after becoming a ward of the state right after birth and living in various foster homes. “I thought she looked like me,” she recalled of Slark, who was featured in the lawsuit broadcast. “Even my friends

told me. They said she must be my sister.” Prior to the broadcast, Charlebois was put in contact with Baycrest Health Sciences social worker Cindy Brcko through its Day Treatment Centre. B rc k o w a s a s s i s t i n g Charlebois after she was hit by a snowplow in a Bathurst

Street and Steeles Avenue parking lot close to home in December 2012 and spent months in rehab at Baycrest after suffering serious hip and leg injuries. Brcko knew Charlebois, 63, was involved with lawsuits relating to the snowplow incident and Huronia Regional Centre. The Baycrest

worker was concerned over Charlebois’ state of vulnerability and helped connect her to Development Services Ontario, where she was able to access an adult protective services worker. Brcko also helped Charlebois access her missing health and other personal records through the Catholic

Children’s Aid Society, where Charlebois discovered she was one of nine siblings living at the centre – and she and Slark shared a sister, which meant she and Slark were likely related. Shortly after the lawsuit broadcast with Seth and Slark, Charlebois visited a Toronto organization where she knew Slark would be speaking about the lawsuit to finally meet the sister with the same name she never knew she had, and, as it turned out, for Slark to do the exact same. “I thought (another sister) was the only sister I had,” said Slark, 61, sitting next to Charlebois near Second Cup inside Baycrest on a recent Tuesday afternoon. Slark, who was placed at Huronia Regional Centre at age seven and lived there until she was 16, said she felt “great” to know of Charlebois’ existence. The sisters have the same mother, who died in 1993 from pulmonary fibrosis, but different fathers, they said, adding there aren’t any plans to do a DNA test to officially determine their blood ties. “Even if we found out (Charlebois) isn’t my sister, she’s still my sister,” said Slark, who, like Charlebois, never married or had children.

Though she doesn’t know much about her biological parents, Charlebois knows her mother worked as a waitress in a hotel restaurant and couldn’t take care of her children. She never found out who her father was. And for now, Slark is the only family she has, as she’s yet to meet her other siblings. “I phone Marie every night and stay with her a few nights a week,” Charlebois said of her North York-based sister. “We love each other so much.” Brcko described Charlebois as “always positive, always looking forward” and is happy she was able to find family. “I only want good things for her,” she said. “I feel a big sense of relief for Marie. She can now get answers in the sense of who am I? Where did I come from?” access to records Charlebois, who volunteers as a friendly visitor to Baycrest clients and even knits for them, thinks children given up by their parents should have easy access to their records to let them know about their biological families. “It would be kind of nice to let them know,” she said. “Even if they are in foster care, let them know.”

Month-old baby suffers facial burns in North York townhouse fire A one-month-old girl suffered serious facial burns after being left alone with an eight-year-old sibling who set fire to a laundry hamper in a North York home last Wednesday. The incident happened shortly after 5 p.m. at a townhouse on Driftwood Court in the Jane Strteet and Finch Avenue area. Toronto Fire Services Capt. Mike Strapko said the eightyear-old was playing with a

lighter, igniting some laundry in a second-floor bedroom. The newborn suffered burns to the face and arms and was carried by the grandmother to another townhouse on Driftwood where the mother was and where 911 was called. “Firefighters applied saline solution and oxygen without actually touching the burned face of the one-month-old,” Strapko said. The baby was taken to

Humber River Hospital’s Finch site for treatment. Doctors from the Hospital for Sick Children also attended Humber River Hospital to examine the baby’s burns. The grandmother may have also suffered burns. There were 13 fire units and 40 firefighters at the fire scene. Damage was estimated at $20,000. “The Red Cross was notified because there was a grandmother and three or GET UP TO

Caregivers are heroes, but they need support, too

Write us

ssuming the role of caregiver for a loved one may seem a natural decision when a friend or family member is struck with dementia, or acute or chronic health problems. But it can be a long, burdensome and isolated journey and those who make these sacrifices need to make sure they’re getting the supports they need. That’s why we at Metroland Media Toronto, in partnership with Downsizing Divas, are once again bringing The Caregiver Show to our city on May 30. Presented by Saint Elizabeth Health Care, which offers at-home services for family caregivers, the free show is a chance for caregivers to discover that they’re not alone. There’s a wealth of resources available to help make what can be a difficult job that much easier to undertake. According to the Alzheimer our view Society of Canada, the physical psychological toll on family May 30 show and caregivers is considerable – with dedicated to 15 to 32 per cent experiencing depression at one point or caregivers another. While people care for others out of a sense of personal responsibility and love, they need to be prepared to deal with the stress involved. At this year’s show, hear from speaker Teepa Snow, who has more than 33 years of experience in geriatrics, and is an occupational therapist currently working as a dementia care and dementia education specialist. Health and wellness expert Rose Reisman will also be speaking at the show about the importance of taking care of one’s own health and nutrition. The Caregiver Show is your chance to connect with others sharing similar circumstances and learn tips on how to navigate opportunities for government support. Discover that you’re not alone – in fact, you’re among almost eight million family caregivers in Canada. Get first-hand advice from experts, explore products and see demonstrations from our participating organizations. And don’t miss the Rest and Relaxation Zone, to help you replenish your spirit and energy levels. It takes a hero to dedicate oneself to the care of another, but even heroes need support sometimes. The show is Saturday, May 30 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Centennial College Progress Campus’ Athletics Wellness Centre, 941 Progress Ave. To register for the free event, visit www.caregivershow.ca

All eyes, and feet, on the $50-million jackpot To join the office Lotto Max pool or not to join. That’s the question. The jackpot stands at $50 million for the fifth week in a row. With 33 extra $1 million “maxmillion” prizes also up for grabs Allen has stepped up to try and resurrect the one in our company. He’s been on a roll. Actually it’s a Tim Hortons croissant that fell on his chair. Anyhow, I’m the lone holdout. Allen: “So? Last chance to pick up the rear on our happy dance line when we win. What’s it gonna be Jamie, in or out? Just so you know, after considerable debate the group has decided to do the Boot Scootin’ Boogie.” Jamie: “Really? Boot Scoot AND Boogie?” Allen: “And not necessarily in that order. It could just as easily be Boogie Scootin’ Boot. It depends on how we feel when the cameras are turned on.” Jamie: “That’s very enticing, Allen, but to be perfectly honest, I have my heart set

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY on doing the Funky Chicken when I win. And I’m not talking genetically modified Funky Chicken, either. When I hit the dance floor it’s the real deal or nothing.” Allen: “I hear ya. But back to the matter at hand. So what do you say?” Jamie: “I think I’ll pass. But thanks for thinking of me just the same.” Allen: “Do you mind if I ask what you have against $50 million?” Jamie: “I don’t mind at all. With 24 in your group, last I heard, if I come aboard each share would only be one-25th of $50 million, or a paltry $2 million.” Allen: “Actually, since we last spoke, we’ve more than doubled that number courtesy of accounting, HR, production support and the executive suite. You’d bring the total to an even 50. So each share would actually

drop to $1,000,000.” Jamie: “That’s it? A lousy million is all I can expect to get?” Allen: “One million big ones each is nothing to sneeze at where I come from.” Jamie: “Where I come from, that was a cough, not a sneeze.” Allen: “I stand corrected. A million big ones is nothing to cough at. That better?” Jamie: “Hardly. That’s if we’re the only winner. What if there’s more than one lucky ticket sold? Somebody from Saskatchewan always seems to win part of every big jackpot. Usually a guy named Herb.” Allen: “So, if there are two winning tickets we still get $500,000 per person. Boo hoo. We’ll cry all the way to the bank.” Jamie: “And how much am I expected to kick in for the privilege of becoming a measly 500 hundredthousandaire, pray tell?” Allen: “We’re putting in $6 each per ticket, when you

add on the encore.” Jamie: “Like I said, I’ll pass.” Allen: “Any reason in particular?” Jamie: “Yeah. I got a way better offer. Herb invited me to join his pool. It would be just me and him in it and all I’d have to fork over to join is $5. He doesn’t play encore. That means if our ticket is the only winner we pocket $25 million each and if there are two winning ones I still pocket a not to shabby $12.5 million.” Allen: “You really think you’re going to walk away with those kind of sums if you team up with him?” Jamie: “Of course not, silly billy. Obviously you haven’t been attention. No matter how much I get I won’t be walking away at all. I’ll be Funky Chickening away, baby.” Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist, who takes writing very seriously. The topics? Not so much. His column appears every Thursday.

Consider monitoring highway flows instead To the editor: Re: ‘Tracking traffic with Big Data is worth a shot,’ Editorial, April 30. I had a laugh when I read your Big Data editorial. “Transparency will be key” – dream on! “If there’s any hope it can fix or improve traffic...” Whatever gains are made, more traffic will just fill the gap, like a lane-changing jerk jockeying to get ahead. “Whether we know it or not...” How many of us know it already and disable tracking? Don’t assume the data would be representative. The city is right to hesitate: it would be a total misdirection of funds.

Tracking traffic with Big Data is worth a shot

he city’s going to start tracking our movements and before people begin crying foul over privacy rights, we’d like to suggest a few reasons why this is a good thing. The so-called Big Data project – the subject of our exclusive report Big Data – aims to take GPS probe data from our smartphones and other electronic devices to analyze traffic patterns. That information will give city planners a much more accurate picture of how people get around, where they’re coming from, where they’re going, at what time and – hopefully – help solve the city’s gridlock problem. It could also monitor commuter times and help tackle commuter roadblocks. If anomalies show up on a particular road during rush hour, it may indicate a problem and the city could be quicker to respond. That said, it’s not a sure thing. our view Without having seen the data yet (it needs to be purchased City must take from private sector navigation city staff are reluctant advantage of firms), to make promises about what be able to do with it. this information they’ll But if there’s any hope it can fix or improve traffic in this city – it’s worth a shot. Annually we waste about $11 billion in lost productivity due to traffic congestion. And according to a traffic index compiled by navigation firm TomTom, the average Toronto commuter loses about 84 hours each year while delayed in traffic. We can’t afford not to try. We’re being tracked already via GPS in dozens of apps we activate on our smartphones. Our movements and locations are already being charted – whether we know it or not. With that information readily available the city needs to step into the 21st century and take advantage of that data, particularly if it’s got the potential to help improve our lives and the functioning of our city. Transparency will be key in alleviating privacy concerns. We probably won’t see much of the data released to the public after the city’s purchased it, since private companies are charging for it. But at the least, the city should keep the public informed of its intention and its results, in a broad sense, as the experiment moves forward. Our traffic problems need a solution, and this is the kind of out-of-the-box thinking that may just get us there.

Traffic flow must be improved without compromising privacy 1

Several descendants of Jacob and Elizabeth Cummer attended the unveiling event Thursday of a plaque installed at the corner of Doris and McKee avenues, honouring the contributions of one of the founding families of North York.

Founding family honoured for contributions to North York >>>from page 1 because of the Cummers.” As one of the first settlers to the area, Jacob and Elizabeth arrived from Pennsylvania and acquired 80 hectares of land on the east side of Yonge Street in 1801. They later built a sawmill in 1819 as well as founded a chapel and cemetery at Yonge Street and presentday Church Avenue in the 1830s. “This was the land where people came for the Methodist camp meetings,” said Bonetta, noting it was the “rock festival” of their time. “It was a remarkable gathering.” It seemed appropriate then to have the gathering at Doris and McKees avenues to celebrate the Cummer family. “In the Cummer family, we were always proud of that pioneer heritage,” said Don Cummer, one of the several

descendants of Jacob and Elizabeth who attended the ceremonial event. A special mention went to Gunild Spiess, a longtime North York resident and NYHS member, who spearheaded the initiative to recognize the Cummer family with a plaque. Sharing a common German background with the Cummers, Spiess first learned of the early North York settlers after moving to Willowdale in 1956 and seeing the church Jacob built that used to be located at Yonge Street and Church

Avenue. After other plaques were installed to mark North York’s history, Spiess said she explored the idea back in 1996 of acknowledging the Cummers with a plaque of their own. After fundraising $2,500 and almost 20 years later, her wish became true. “I feel great,” said Spiess, adding she was happy to see a former resident of the Joshua Cummer House make an appearance at the unveiling event where a condo building now stands. Former provincial cabinet minister Bette Stephenson lived in the house for 50 years since she was a high school student in 1936 up until she retired from legislature in 1987. “It was a marvellous place to raise kids,” Stephenson recalled. “It was a marvellous old house.”

Notice of Commencement

Finch West Maintenance and Storage Facility Environmental Project Report The Project Metrolinx, an agency of the Government of Ontario, is proposing to construct a Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF) to serve the Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT) line in the City of Toronto. The purpose of the MSF is to store and maintain the light rail vehicles that will operate along the Finch West LRT corridor with an allowance for maintenance and storage of light rail vehicles that will operate on a future Jane Street LRT. The MSF will accommodate a maximum of 75 light rail vehicles. The site is located on 8 hectares (20 acres) of vacant land owned by Metrolinx on the north side of Finch Avenue West in the City of Toronto between Norfinch Drive to the west and York Gate Boulevard to the east. In 2010, the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change issued a Notice to Proceed for the Finch West LRT, a 17 kilometre LRT line extending from Humber College in northern Etobicoke to Yonge Street. The Environmental Project Report prepared for that project identified the location of the MSF as a potential site to store and maintain light rail vehicles, but the report did not address the potential effects of the MSF. Consequently, a new assessment of effects is required for the MSF. The Process The environmental impacts of this transit project will be assessed in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings. As part of the Transit Project Assessment Process, an Environmental Project Report for the Finch West MSF is being prepared. All information produced as part of this project is available at www.metrolinx.com/ﬁnchwest. Consultation Members of the public, agencies and other interested persons are encouraged to participate actively in the transit project assessment process. Metrolinx will be hosting a public meeting and the public will be invited to review information about the MSF, the potential effects and the measures incorporated to mitigate those potential effects. Additionally, throughout the environmental assessment period, the public may provide comment, request to be added to the project mailing list or obtain more information by contacting Metrolinx staff as follows: Les MacDermid, P.Eng., Senior Project Manager 5160 Yonge Street, Suite 300 North York, ON M2N 6L9 tel: 416-228-9392 e-mail: les.macdermid@metrolinx.com

Tory open to keeping stores open during non-religious holidays DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com Mayor John Tory said that relaxing holiday closing laws might help get things moving faster in Toronto’s economy – but he won’t bring the matter to Toronto council if it’s just going to be another round of political gridlock. Tory told reporters on Monday – the day after Victoria Day – that he thought Toronto business would do better if stores could open on holidays.

“We in Toronto are putting ourselves at a disadvantage to municipalities around us,” he said. “Ordinarily, I would say that when we’re at a disadvantage we should correct that.” Tory noted that council has had the opportunity to change its holiday closing hours three times over the past decade and always turned away from the opportunity. Tory said he would be open to looking at allowing stores to stay open on non-religious holidays such as Victoria Day and Labour Day.

CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com After getting a glimpse of the future through robot and drone demonstrations at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS), Minister of State Ed Holder made a funding announcement yesterday to further support university training programs. Holder announced federal funding of $28 million for 28 universities to invest in jobrelated training for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. “This is very much our future,” said Holder, who visited UTIAS located near Dufferin Street and Steeles Avenue with York Centre MP Mark Adler. “U of T is one of the greatest research institutions in the country.” The funding comes from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council

of Canada (NSERC) through its Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) initiative. Adler announced that $1.65 million will be going to UTIAS professor Dr. Hugh Liu’s team to develop a training program in collaboration with Canadian aerospace companies to prepare grad students for jobs in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology sector. He added UAVs, more commonly known as drones, have potential to be used in natu-

ral resource and agricultural crops monitoring, mineral exploration, as well as search and rescue operations and infrastructure inspection. “It’s very timely funding as UAVs hold great promise in commercial applications,” agreed Liu, thanking both federal government representatives for their support. “And it provides grad students the opportunity to work with industry partners for job placements as well as entrepreneurial programs.”

launches new trip planner wMetrolinx As the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games approach, a new trip planner from Metrolinx seeks to provide accurate travel data for transit rides taken in Toronto and beyond. Triplinx works similarly to more well-known search resources like Google Maps, although in this case it caters to transit users. You can plot out any trip made by one of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area’s transit agencies, including the TTC. The site also has a searchable stop finder, access to schedules and service updates, and information on the various transit providers’ fare rates. To use a beta version of the site, visit www.triplinx.ca bike only for some bus racks wOne

Those front-facing bike racks found on some TTC buses will be restricted to carrying only one bicycle following concerns raised by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, it was announced last week. The ministry ordered the TTC to suspend and review the use of the racks in the fall after concerns were raised

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT about sightlines for bus drivers when the racks, which carry two bicycles, were full. The restrictions apply to the articulated buses as well as a new fleet of 40-foot buses manufactured by Nova. All other TTC buses can still carry two bicycles. Cyclists can transport their rides onto a bus, but only if there is enough room. Wanted: Subway busker applications Want to share your musical gifts with hundreds of commuters and make some cash on the side? You’ll first have to impress the TTC. The final auditions for the transit commission’s annual subway busker search don’t take place until August. But to get that far you’ll need to formally apply for a chance at an audition. There’s only room for 175 solo or duo acts and the TTC expects all applications will be in well before the deadline of Friday, June 19. A judging panel will pick

the top 74 acts over a weekend of live auditions at this year’s Canadian National Exhibition. To pick up your application package, head over to Davisville Station during regular business hours or visit www.ttc.ca zone rankles cyclists wpedestrian

It seems the decision to establish a special area for pedestrians on a stretch of John Street has rankled some cyclists. By all accounts the John Street Pedestrian Zone established between Queen Street West and Adelaide Street has been a hit with those on foot able to enjoy some more sidewalk space. But the move also takes out crucial curb space for cyclists, activists say. Some critical of the move posted pictures and videos last week on social media of a virtually empty pedestrian area while adjacent car and bike traffic shared constrained lane space. The pedestrian zone is in effect until mid-October. Rahul Gupta is The Mirror’s transit reporter. His column runs every Thursday. Reach him on Twitter: @TOinTRANSIT

Smile Theatre to perform at The Caregiver Show angeline mair amair@insidetoronto.com Great theatre can happen anywhere and bring big smiles to almost anyone, and this is the mission of Smile Theatre, which brings musical performances to special audiences such as seniors who are isolated. “Imagine taking a big musical and squishing it down into a really small compact space: that’s what we do,” said Tom Carson, general manager of Smile Theatre. The company hires professional actors who star in 55-minute shows and travel to retirement residences, nursing homes and longterm care facilities. The shows are rehearsed and created locally then taken on the

road throughout the Greater Toronto Area and sometimes further. Smile Theatre will be performing at The Caregiver Show, which takes place May 30, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Centennial College’s Progress

Campus in Scarborough. The show is presented by Saint Elizabeth Health Care, which offers at-home services for family caregivers. The show is brought to Toronto residents by Metroland Media Toronto and Downsizing

Divas. Carson said the performances have a direct positive impact on seniors because they include music that is familiar with their history. “So that triggers memories for them and engages them on a level that’s different than just talking to them.” As a theatre artist, he said he finds the work difficult because performing in a small activity room, cafeteria or a hallway may not offer the space a traditional theatre does. But the reward is greater. “The reason you are doing this is to reach those folks, who are there, who are just not going to see anything like this if you don’t go there.” And the quality of actors is at par with those who is per-

form on the big stages across Ontario, Carson said. “The actors you see – at The Shaw Festival or in a Mirvish Production – those are the same people you will see in a Smile production in a little nursing home in the middle of nowhere,” he said. Although Smile Theatre does not employ music therapists or base its creative work on science, Carson said the work the troupe does has an impact on the audience. He said it’s difficult to gauge if this approach is working, but, recently after a show a caregiver said her mom, who is 98 years old, hadn’t said a word in three weeks and they were worried about her. The caregiver related that during a performance she

saw her mom tapping her foot, smiling and humming along. Speakers at this year’s show include Teepa Snow, who has more than 33 years of experience in geriatrics, and is an occupational therapist currently working as a dementia care and dementia education specialist, and health and wellness expert Rose Reisman who will be speaking to caregivers about the importance of taking care of their health and nutrition. The show will also feature resources, services and products along with a chance for caregivers to connect with other caregivers and with professionals in the industry.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING...

Sam, I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for the amazing experience I had with you last week. You really took care of me and my family during our relocation period and you guided us through the entire scouting and purchase process. It is amazing how different the process is between Toronto and Montreal and we would have been lost without your guidance. We put our faith in you because you came highly recommended by Evelyn at Weichert, and you delivered. I would highly recommend your services to anyone that I would know and in fact, I already have. Santo, Lisa and Matteo Thank you again and hope to see you real soon. Purchaser of 79 Carousel Cres.

david nickle the city Mayor John Tory is going into that council meeting intending to support the ‘hybrid’ option of essentially shifting and rebuilding the ramps between the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway. It is costly, and doesn’t confer as many citybuilding advantages, but it appeals to many voters who might leave their mark next to pro-car Rob Ford’s name next election. But the matter of the cost is the thing, and it might be quite the thing. York Centre Councillor James Pasternak, who sits on the city’s budget committee, is a supporter of the hybrid option, but at Tuesday’s meeting of that committee, he made it clear that he wasn’t about to support it without a way to pay. And the best way to pay? Road tolls, he said, preferably collected in such a way that

it gave Toronto taxpayers a break. If there is any issue more historically emotional than the question of the continued elevation of the Gardiner Expressway, it is the terrifying prospect of Hwy. 407-style road tolls on highways running through the heart of the city. The city considered imposing tolls in 2008, and eventually rejected the idea because a full, regional-tolling system that included the 401, DVP and 427 would have been prohibitively expensive to set up. But Pasternak raises an interesting issue, as council moves to consider yet another billion-dollar-or-so infrastructure project resting on the same old revenue streams as before: namely, money is going to have to come from somewhere beyond simple savings. Toronto Council is going to have to start talking about what that might look like.

North York athletes recognized for their accomplishments DAVID GROSSMAN nym@insidetoronto.com

Bill Pangos will be retiring this August after 29 years at the helm of York University’s women’s basketball program.

York University coach graduating to new ventures Bill Pangos plans to continue coaching duties after retirement CLARK KIM ckim@insidetoronto.com

fter nearly three decades at the helm of York University’s women’s basketball program coaching multiple championship seasons, Bill Pangos will be retiring this August. The veteran coach, lecturer and sports administrator in the School of Kinesiology & Health Science recalled several career highlights since he first came to York in 1986. They include winning the CIAU (Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union) silver medal in 1997, the OUA (Ontario University Athletics) title in 2007, and back-to-back CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) championship appearances in 2006 and 2007. But in addition to those achievements, Pangos’ most memorable moments are more personal.

“The highlights, really for me, was coaching my daughter and my niece,” he said. “The other highlights really have to do with relationships with people.” Pangos said he valued the opportunity to work with student-athletes over the years. He added that he has even coached the niece of one of his former players. “What goes around comes around, I guess,” Pangos said. While he enjoyed many aspects of coaching, Pangos said the profession has reached a whole new level. “Now, coaching is a full-time proposition,” said Pangos, explaining it often involves travelling, non-stop recruiting, video analysis and running specialized camps. “It’s a seven-day-a-week job. Ultimately that’s where the wear and tear comes in.”

But he sees his upcoming retirement more as a university graduation. Pangos isn’t looking to stop coaching but instead doing so at a different pace, which includes potentially setting up an academy for children who have the passion and commitment to play college and university basketball. He’s also looking to spend more time and helping his children, who are both currently attending university, while also running the Pangos Family Basketball Camp. Jennifer Myers, York’s director of sport and recreation, only had words of high praise for Pangos as he begins the next chapter in his journey. “We are losing a giant in CIS women’s basketball with Bill retiring,” said Myers in a statement. “His impact over the last 29 years will be felt for generations. His greatest legacy can be seen in the hundreds of players he has touched.”

Maybe it was just another day for many, but several top amateur athletes certainly experienced a feeling of emotion they’ll likely remember for the rest of their lives. It all came as Seneca and Canadore Colleges along with York, Queen’s, Toronto and McMaster Universities singled out their year-end major award winners, highlighting impressive accomplishments – and each had a North York connection. While North York residents Sasha Gollish, Jacob Rumball, Riley Allison and Isse Ibrahim grabbed the podium for prestigious awards, Seneca and York, both located in North York, picked athletes from outside the community. Yan Zhou, an international student from China, and badminton teammate YangHui-Zi (Suzy) Yan, who, at the age of 15, moved to Sault Ste. Marie from China, were honoured as Seneca’s top female athletes of the year. “It was a huge surprise since there are so many other great athletes,” said the 19-yearold Zhou, who emailed her parents with the news. Yan, 24, teamed with Zhou to win gold medals in women’s doubles at the Ontario and Canadian College championships. “Studying in Canada is a gift

and I am so overwhelmed at winning this – it’s a big award and means a great deal to me,” said Yan. Basketball star Felix Adjei, a two-time star athlete at Don Bosco, won the male award for a second consecutive year and was also inducted in the Seneca Sports Hall of Fame. At York University, soccer player Jarek Whiteman, who was a member of the school’s undefeated Canadian championship squad, was the top male athlete. “One of the first things I did was recognize the other nominees because there were so many who deserved to be chosen,” said Whiteman, 24, York’s top scorer, who said he plans to pursue playing pro soccer. Crew, who broke two Ontario University records and had a pair of personal bests in shot put and weight throw, was the recipient of the female athlete of the year. She’s hoping to compete for Canada at this summer’s Pan Am Games with aspirations on the 2016 Olympics. “I actually thought I had accomplished enough to be a strong candidate for the (York) award,” said Crew. “When others, nominated for the award, came up to me and suggested I prepare a speech, I figured this just might be my night.” Gollish, a 33-year-old distance runner, graduate of York

Mills Collegiate and two-time high school athlete of the year, added the University of Toronto’s top female athlete title to her collection of awards. “I actually didn’t think I would win and prepared a speech in the taxi on the way to the event,” said Gollish, who was on the 4x800-metres team that broke a Canadian university record (8:32.4) and hopes to be at the world championship in China next year. Rumball, who graduated from Senator O’Connor and competed for Canada’s under-20 rugby squad, won the prestigious male athlete of the year award at Queen’s in Kingston. In Hamilton, Allison, another York Mills grad and dominant figure skater with two gold medals for McMaster University, was the recipient of an award that went to a graduating Riley Allison athlete combining excellence in athletics, leadership and community success. Ibrahim, studying criminal justice at Canadore in North Bay, embraced the challenges of sport winning rookie of the year in basketball and was picked to the Ontario College’s all-rookie team.

SOARING PRIVATIZED ELECTRICITY BILLS By voting against Bill 91, Liberal MPPs can save Hydro One from privatization.

Liberal MPPs in North York have a choice: Protect the people of North York from even higher hydro bills – by voting against Bill 91

Fall in line with the sellout of Hydro One – a one-time dead-end cash grab at the expense of future generations.

Important message to members and supporters of the Ontario Liberal Party: Even partial privatization has brought soaring electricity rates in countries around the world. Small business owners, farmers and residents cannot afford to pay more for electricity. Future generations will need the perpetual flow of hundreds of millions of dollars from our public Hydro One — to pay for public services like health care and education. If Bill 91 is passed, Liberal MPPs, the Ontario Liberal Party and Premier Wynne will be held responsible for the consequences.

TELL PREMIER KATHLEEN WYNNE TO WITHDRAW BILL 91

There are many reasons to keep Hydro One in public hands. Visit www.cupe.on.ca for more information.
