Karen Sintz, the popular three-term Councillor for Ward 16 from 2002 to 2014, continues to keep her name in front of the public. She has again written about the need for parkland at the corner of that present-day disaster zone known as Yonge St. and Eglinton Ave. Stintz resigned to run for mayor in 2014 but pulled out in the face of the onslaught from John Tory, Rob Ford and Olivia Chow. Money was also an issue. Christin Carmichael Greb won the ward in 2014 with merely 17 percent of the vote. Ranked ballots anyone? Upper right, we see 1970s Queen St. E. at Baseball Place. It is the site of the City’s first baseball stadium, Sunlight Park. But Google Sidewalk Labs thinks this is a picture taken at the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in the farm town of St. Mary’s. Brendan @Dovercourter is not amused and has many other examples of Google map making gone haywire. Below that, kids at Davisville Public School learn about the Persian New Year and a reminder of the Third Annual Easter in the Village event on Mt. Pleasant March 31. Lower left, Carol Burtin Fripp will receive the Agnes Macphail Award Saturday night and Andy Elder’s Just “B” Cause charity evening is set for March 29.
