Stories of interest in recent hours include the ordeal of Alex Mazelow, owner of Carbon dress shop at 2955 Yonge St. south of Blythwood Rd. His store has been burglarized three times in less than a month. Then, a dangerous blocking of doors at the Union Station Bay St. teamway. It backed up crowds as they tried to go home from a Mumford and Sons concert at Scotiabank Arena. The doors were shut “for no apparent reason” but of course there is a reason. We just don’t know its name yet. Stupidity, forgetfulness, malice? Yes, it has a name. Then, an Edmonton judge has denied Omar Khadar a passport so he can go to Saudi Arabia, apparently for religious reasons. He is also forbidden from speaking privately with his sister, who lives abroad, because she has been known to support terrorist groups. Below that, a grumpy GO train rider in the “quiet” car has silenced the carol singing of happy train conductor Gordon Plumridge.
