The world is struggling for context as this tumultuous week nears an end. The National Post offers the reflections of Rose and Greg Yerex. They survived the coronavirus infection and now say that claustrophobia was the worst symptom. Then at the upper right, an escape into a comic-book style hitwoman’s odd world Saturday when author Carole O’Cinneide visits Sleuth of Baker Street on Millwood Rd. between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Centre left, sadly March Madness weekend has been cancelled because of the virus epidemic. Lower left is a happy glimpse of how one person celebrated Pink Day at Davisville Public School. At lower right is evidence of the odd paper panic associated with coronavirus fear. This scene is from the Metro store at Bayview and Eglinton.

Bantam AA Wildcats

It seems possible Mya Reyes will go down in history after she scored the shootout goal that gave the Bantam AA Wildcats a 1-0 win over the Clarington Flames Sunday in March Madness play. This endurance match saw the Wildcats and Flames (ages 13 and 14) battle through regular play and overtime without scoring a single marker. Few coaches prefer to see a game settled by shootout but that’s what it came to at Malvern Recreation Centre on Sewells Rd. where the playoff game was held. The first round of shootout went scoreless before Mya tucked home the winner. Well done Bantam AA Wildcats. And thanks to Kate Henn for her tip on this nail biter.
