Month: February 2017

It look like a sloppy beginning to the week with a prediction calling for snow and very likely freezing rain all day Tuesday. Environment Canada says a low pressure system from the U.S. will be tracking northeast toward southern Ontario.. “This weather system will bring a significant precipitation event to Southern Ontario on Tuesday. Accumulating snow and freezing rain are possible for Central and Eastern Ontario, with some snow, then freezing rain and rain possible for the rest of Southern Ontario closer to Lakes Erie and Ontario,” the national weather agency’s advisory says.

These fine looking guys are the Warren Park Eagles in the Midget Jr. category as they posing for their gold medal picture at the Leaside Hockey Association Select Invitational Tournament. The Warren Park House League (WPHL) is based in Toronto’s West End along the Humber River at the top of a hill in Lambton Park. It was born in 1955 as the Warren Park Minor Sports Association. That evolved into separate entities known as the Toronto Eagles who provide A and AA level Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) competitive hockey and our own WPHL hockey program. Congratulations all. Hoping to see more pictures of division champs and medal winners.

Police say the man shot to death on Langford Ave. is Tyrone Tomlinson, 21. He was hit several time about 12.15 a.m. Sunday on Langford near Fielding Ave. That’s north of the Danforth between Pape and Donlands. Tomlinson was found on the pavement in front of a home on Langford Avenue where he is said to have been visiting a friend. He died in hospital shortly after. Officers are now canvassing the area and hoping for surveillance video from around the time of the shooting. A suspect was last seen running eastbound from the scene and jumping over a fence. He is described as wearing dark clothing, a hood and possibly had a knapsack.

Letting you know

The former Roots store on Yonge St. south of Rowanwood has been closed for more than a year. Since then, Roots has opened in the SmartCentre on Wicksteed Ave. It may be a clue to the brutal parking conditions along Yonge. No shoppers, no store. Let’s hope Roots does well in Leaside.

The Junior Wildcats of Leaside are on the road Sunday as their home arena at Millwood and Laird is mobbed by participants and family at the Select Invitational tournament. Last night the Cats fought to a creditable 2-2 tie against Stoney Creek. Shanna Dolighan was in the net for Leaside. Sunday the Wildcats have a noon-hour scrap with Mississauga Chiefs at the Iceland arena complex on Matheson Road in Missy. Good luck ladies. Check PWHL scores here.

It’s the Trump politics of the moment, as a judge in Washington state strikes down the travel ban on people from those seven countries into the US, at least for time being. How long will it last? The endless debate on television this weekend will make  your head hurt. No one knows. CBC
