It is a crime that just reeks of Britain and all the tall tales of theft and the sinister “inside jobs” that produced dozens of movies. How much was taken? Heavens knows. The safety box holders don’t have to tell anyone and in fact they may cringe at the thought the government might learn what they were hiding. Here the estimable Martin Brunt of SKY News has the story.  All leads

This brief video (with sirens be warned) catches the flavour of a short visit to Bayview Ave Wednesday between Millwood Rd. and Belsize Drive. There was a smell detected that might have signalled fire but such was not the case. Trucks cleared almost immediately. Occasionally the aroma of the fresh Montreal style bagels cooking over the wood fire at the The Bagel House will prompt a moment of panic (and not just that we will eat two instead of one).

This obituary was published February 28, 2015, in the Toronto Star –Ed. It is with profound shock and sadness that we announce the sudden loss of Karen, at the age of 58, after a brief illness due to a rare and aggressive cancer on February 21, 2015.  Devoted wife of Graeme for 34 years, loving mother and tireless advocate for Cameron (Cam) and the late Emily (Emmy), beloved daughter of Ken and Judy Gillis, dear sister to Nancy (Bruce), Sandy (Mike) and Scott (Emma), caring aunt and loyal friend. After graduating from the University of Western Ontario, Karen began a promising career in banking at the Bank of Montreal.   When it became apparent that Cam required more support, she gave up her business career without hesitation.   She worked tirelessly to address Cameron’s many needs and provided him with her love and unwavering dedication. Over the years that followed, Karen threw her dogged determination and boundless love into supporting Emmy through her medical challenges. Her persistence and attentiveness ensured that Emmy got the best possible care throughout her journey. More importantly, she gave Emmy the wings to become a resilient and compassionate young woman who, like her mother, never complained about the inequities of life. Karen was a devoted volunteer and supported a variety of causes including Centennial Infant and Child Centre, Variety Village, Canadian Association for Riding for the Disabled and Northlea United Church. Despite the many challenges life threw at her, Karen always found time for others.  Friends and family enjoyed the results of Karen’s talents in the kitchen. She loved to read and was constantly ready with book titles or information tidbits.

Rob McEwen with wife Cheryl

Toronto gold miner McEwen Mining, headed by Rob McEwen, is reporting that armed gunmen burst into its Mexican mine in Sinaloa and carried off an estimated 7,000 ounces of gold. At current prices the loot would be worth at least $8.5 million. The firm says it is very disappointed with events but insists that Mexican authorities are investigating “vigorously.” Sinaloa is on the western shore of Mexico opposite the Baja Peninsula. Mr. McEwen and his wife Cheryl are celebrated in Toronto for their philanthropic leadership at the McEwen Centre for Regenerative Medicine. In March 2013, the McEwens invested $2.76 million to establish the McEwen Centre’s Facility and Program in Human Disease and Development. Publicity material indicates that the program will be housed in a new facility that is currently under development at University Health Network. Their gift leveraged $27.4 million from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation to support the overall redevelopment of the facilities.  McEwen News release. Toronto Sun

He was in dense bushland of Lake Eildon National Park, He is now in hospital suffering from exhaustion, hypothermia and dehydration. Despite being found just three kilometres from where he was last seen on Good Friday, police say he may have walked up to 10 kilometres in different directions during the time he was missing. Acting Assistant Commissioner Rick Nugent says search efforts were mindful of Luke’s autism, meaning volunteers looking for the boy were careful not to scare him off.
