LEVINE,
Samuel▼
Robert▼ "
Sam▼"
On Saturday, January 22, 15 days after celebrating his 90th birthday:
Sam LEVINE, professional musician, musicians' advocate and raconteur
passed away after a long illness.
Sam was a long-time member of the Toronto Symphony's double bass
section. He was also a proud President Emeritus and Life Member
of the Toronto Musicians' Association, Local 149, American Federation
of Musicians.
Sam spent much of his career working to improve the security
and quality of life for Canadian professional musicians. He fought
hard to keep live music alive when disco threatened to make it
disappear.
Born in Toronto in 1915, Sam was the
son of Russian- Jewish immigrants
Morris and Annie
LEVINE.
When▼ they were swept away by the Spanish
Flu, his aunt, the late Dora Nepom, courageously stepped in and
became "Mother" to four- year-old Sam and his younger sister
Laura.
Sam graduated from Harbord Collegiate, played guitar, banjo and
bass in various bands including the Trump Davidson Orchestra.
With partners he opened the Onyx Club on Church Street, Toronto's
first jazz club. It survived long enough to host Duke Ellington
in an after-hours jam.
With World War 2, Sam enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force,
spending the war years in a musical show, "The Blackouts", travelling
up the British Columbia coast to Alaska and overseas, entertaining
the allied troops.
Initially, Sam was stationed in Ottawa, where he met the magnificent
Tula MARLIN, a secretary in the War Department. After a courtship
conducted mostly by mail, they married in 1946, set up house
in Toronto and started their family.
Sam graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Music and joined
the Toronto Symphony's bass section. Through the Fifties and
Sixties he continued to play club and studio dates along with
weddings and bar mitzvahs.
He became a union activist, serving for years as a vice-president,
then president of Local 149 after retiring from the Toronto Symphony
Orchestra. To support symphonic musicians, he helped found the
Association of Canadian Orchestras.
Among Sam's greatest loves were his family, his music, fellow
musicians, a good story, television sports, the City of Toronto,
and the Scarborough bungalow that was our family home for 50
years. He hated hypocrisy, injustice, interruptions, unkempt
lawns, boiled chicken, deejays and disco.
Beneath Sam's private and dignified persona of strong commitments
and high principles was a fun-loving man with a mad sense of
humour. At the family dinner table, gems from his fund of jokes,
memories and funny stories nearly always followed dessert.
As a father Sam was straightforward, demanding, supportive, adoring
and inspiring. He liked to say his children never took any of
his advice...but he knew better. He may have been wrong in 1959
(and every year thereafter) when he said that "rock and roll
is dead", but he was right about almost everything else.
Happy and proud to have shared Sam's life and sadly mourning
his death are Tula, his beloved wife and companion of 59 years,
daughter Anita
DAHLIN of Brechin, Ontario, son Mike
LEVINE and
his wife, Rosie, of Toronto. He was the cherished grandpa of
Corinna DAHLIN of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and Matt
LEVINE of
Chicago. He is dearly loved and missed by his only sister, Laura
EDELL of Syracuse, New York her sons Mark of Las Vegas, David
of New York City and their children, as well as by many cousins,
nieces and nephews.
Sam was a treasured member of Tula's family - the Marlins of
Hamilton, the Sauve and Barnaby families of Ottawa will all miss
him.
He is also remembered by many dear Friends from his musical past,
including former Toronto Symphony players Marilyn
MEYER,
Ruth
BUDD and Murray
GINSBERG, all of Toronto.
Our family gratefully thanks the staff of Providence Centre for
their care over the last six months.
In Sam's memory, please enjoy the live music of your choice.

Missed brain injury kills bride-to-be
Different diagnosis may have saved her, fiancé says
Young couple would have been married this summer
By Mike FUNSTON,
Staff
Reporter
Oakville couple Karen
SHANK and James
CLARK were to be married
on July 30, but today
CLARK is mourning the death of his fiancée.
The 32-year-old woman succumbed to a stroke brought on by a rare
injury, which doctors failed to diagnose after a car accident.
"The accident happened almost right outside our home -- I heard
the bang and ran outside -- somehow I just knew it was her,"
said a distraught
CLARK, who was able to comfort
SHANK moments
after the crash.
CLARK wants to know if a different diagnosis in the emergency
room at Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital in Burlington could have
saved her life. The coroner's office is investigating.
On May 19,
SHANK, program manager for the Canadian Red Cross
water safety program, was returning home at 4: 38 p.m. when, according
to Halton Region police, her Honda Civic was struck as she made
a left turn from Neyagawa Blvd. onto River Oaks Blvd.
SHANK suffered a whiplash-type injury and took a bang on the
head from the car's air bag,
CLARK said.
At the hospital, head, neck and back X-rays were taken in the
emergency ward, but nothing serious was detected and
SHANK was
sent home that same evening with Gravol for nausea, said
CLARK,
who said she couldn't maintain her balance and needed help walking
as they left hospital.
The next day,
SHANK was becoming less coherent and was taken
back to Brant. Later that day, she was transferred to Hamilton
General Hospital and admitted for treatment.
Three days later, on May 23,
SHANK died from what an autopsy
revealed was a stroke caused by an injury, police said.
CLARK was later told that two key blood vessels had been compressed,
slowly choking off the blood supply to the brain and that it
was a very rare type of injury. Had only one of the blood vessels
been damaged, she wouldn't have died, he was told.
A memorial service for
SHANK was held Wednesday in Oakville.
SHANK was to be cremated and her ashes taken to Saskatoon for
a memorial service there on Monday. She was born in Moose Jaw
and also lived in Burnaby, British Columbia, as well as Saskatoon.
SHANK's parents, Bill and Carol, are United Church ministers
in Saskatchewan.
SHANK is also survived by a brother, Brian.
"They're taking it hard, but they're fantastic people," said
CLARK. "
They're as solid as rocks. Their faith is helping them
get through this."
Coroner
Dr.
David
EDEN said it will be six to eight months before
all the tests are complete and a decision can be made on whether
to hold an inquest.
Brant hospital spokesman Ebbe
MARQUARDSEN said the hospital is
conducting an internal investigation.

Crash kills 3 kids, mother
'She wasn't supposed to go,' 10-year-old's grieving aunt says
By Peter EDWARDS,
Staff
Reporter,
Page A1
Hamilton -- Ten-year-old Emily
PORTO loved to watch her cousin
Francesco play hockey, and begged to watch his game on Thursday
night, even though it would mean staying up a little late.
Emily's mother relented, and
so Emily went to 13-year-old Francesco's
elite-level game in Guelph with Francesco, his mother, Vivian
PORTO, 43, and his sister, 10-year-old Azzidene.
They were all killed in a two-vehicle collision around 10: 45
p.m. Thursday along a deadly stretch of Highway 6, north of Parkside
Dr.
Four people in a sport utility vehicle that collided with the
PORTO minivan suffered potentially life-threatening injuries.
Their identities have not been released, but they are a 40-year-old
Cambridge man, who was driving, and a 38-year-old Cambridge woman
and the man's 17-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter from Perth.
They are all in serious condition in area hospitals.
Police blame bad weather for the collision.
"She wasn't supposed to go," Emily's aunt Lisa
ULRICH said yesterday
in an interview at Emily's home. "Emily got very excited about
attending. She begged her mother to go. The cousins are very,
very close."
Hanging behind her in the family garage was a wall of sports
equipment for Emily and her family.
Their mother, Vivian, loved being a hockey mom, even though Francesco's
membership on the triple-A elite level minor bantam Hamilton
Junior Bulldogs meant several nights a week on the road.
When not caring for her four children -- including older boys
Amadeo and Riccardo, who also play hockey -- Vivian
PORTO ran
three fabric stores.
"There was never any doubt that her commitment was to the children,"
ULRICH said. "It was hockey, hockey, hockey. She was a hockey
mom."
Other family members were also devastated by the accident.
Emily's brother Gabriel, 3, still hadn't been told about her
death yesterday.
Emily and Gabriel were thrilled earlier this month when they
got to sit on the knee of Santa in a mall near their home, their
grandmother Diana
BORDONARO said.
BORDONARO stared at Emily's bicycle in disbelief, then said she
loved to show pictures of Emily and her wide, distinctive smile
to everyone she knew.
"She had a dimple on one cheek.... I bragged about her to everyone,"
her grandmother cried. "... I can't imagine this...
"I just took them to see Santa. It was wonderful."
BORDONARO said she doesn't know how to break the news to Gabriel,
who's excited about Christmas.
"He never called her Emily," she said. "It was 'sister'... She
became a little mother to him. She protected him."
Several people witnessed the accident near the intersection with
Highway 5, including other members of the Junior Bulldogs and
their parents.
Highway 6 has caught the attention of the regional coroner, Dr.
David EDEN.
"We're very concerned about this and we'll look at an inquiry,
but we're a long way from making that decision,"
EDEN said. "I
travel that road and it's a very busy stretch of road."
The 24-kilometre stretch of road linking Highways 403 and 401
has been the scene of at least 20 fatal accidents since the early
1990s.
Residents and police blame a lack of barriers between the north
and southbound lanes as well as the absence of snow fences to
block snow drifts that blow in from surrounding open fields.
"The roads were generally good," said Ontario Provincial Police
Sgt. Cam WOOLLEY. "
However, during the evening winds had picked
up and there was blowing snow that had drifted along Highway
6. When (the victim's) van hit the snowdrift she lost control.
"She ended up in the northbound lanes sideways and into the path
of the Blazer. Both vehicles were believed to be doing the speed
limit of 80 km/h. So it was not survivable.
"The minivan was hit broadside and then pushed back into the
guardrail."
Hamilton
Jr.
Bulldogs president Frank
CASALE said he first heard
of the accident at 8 yesterday morning and immediately set out
to get grief counsellors for the team.
"I couldn't believe it,"
CASALE said. "We're all in shock. The
team, the coaches, the executives are all grieving. He (Francesco)
was a wonderful kid, a good hockey player."
Francesco's and Azzidene's dad and Vivian's husband, Sam, is
a trainer on another of their teams where he has another son
playing, CASALE said.
"I just don't know how he is coping with it all,"
CASALE said.
The funeral for all four
PORTO family members will be 10: 30 a.m.
Wednesday at Saint Margaret Mary Church. Funeral arrangements are
being handled by the Friscolanti Funeral Chapel.

Girl's gifts still sitting under tree
Two families devastated by deadly crash
Locals describe Highway 6 as 'Killer 6'
By Dana BORCEA and Meredith
MacLEOD, Torstar News Services, Hamilton
Spectator
Hamilton -- Emily
PORTO's
Christmas presents sat under the tree.
Her broken-hearted parents don't know what to do with them.
The 10-year-old girl was one of four family members killed in
a horrific car accident late Thursday night.
Emily's mother, Laurie, said she is overcome with grief, but
grateful for the outpouring of support her family has received
in the days following the tragedy.
"This reminds me what Christmas is all about," she said.
Emily's aunt, Vivian
PORTO, was driving the van carrying her
niece as well as two of her own children, Azzadine, 10, and Francesco,
13, back from a hockey game in Guelph when she hit a snowdrift
on Highway 6 and spun out of control before being broadsided
by an oncoming sport utility vehicle.
The highway is nicknamed "Killer 6" by some local residents.
The 24-kilometre stretch of road from Highway 403 to the 401
has been the scene of at least 20 fatal accidents since the early
1990s.
Residents and police blame a lack of barriers between the north
and southbound lanes as well as the absence of snow fences to
block snowdrifts that blow in from surrounding open fields.
A high volume of traffic was also cited as a contributing factor
in the crash.
In response to Thursday night's accident, Dr. David
EDEN, the
regional coroner, said he is considering calling an inquest into
the safety of that stretch of Highway 6.
Police agree the highway can be hazardous.
"Highway 6 can be an unforgiving highway," said Sgt. Cam
WOOLLEY
of the Ontario Provincial Police highway safety division.
Flamborough
Councillor
Margaret
McCARTHY said the highway falls
under the jurisdiction of the province's ministry of transportation.
After hearing about the fatal crash, her office forwarded a request
to the ministry to erect snow fences along the highway.
McCARTHY said residents have expressed concerns about the highway
for years.
"It's a complicated piece of road," she said. "To suggest that
there is an easy fix would be negligent."
Gary MISNER, a Freelton resident who travels Highway 6 every
day, said the stretch where the
PORTOs were killed used to be
protected by a snow fence. He happened upon the accident minutes
after it happened and said the area was the only snow-covered
spot on Highway 6 that night. Strong winds had been blowing for
hours, MISNER said.
Sudden drifts on the road, combined with a looming stoplight,
make for a dangerous combination, he said.
MISNER said snow fences should be installed to prevent drifting
snow from piling up on the highway.
He also said the speed limit should be reduced to 70 km/h and
strictly enforced.
"There will be other big accidents along there,"
MISNER warned.
Emily's aunt, Lisa
ULRICH, estimated that close to 200 people
had come through the home to offer their condolences to both
families. She expects about 1,000 people to attend visitation
and funeral services early this week.
Among them will be members of Hamilton's Italian community, minor-hockey
families, and family colleagues from the textile, development
and hospital industries.
"They've been coming out in droves,"
ULRICH said on the weekend,
pointing to the line of parked cars spilling out of the driveway
and down the street.
"To have a quiet, empty house -- especially at this time of the
year -- would have made this even harder," she said.
On Saturday, family gathered at the home of Vivian's parents,
Anna and Adriano
SPALLACCI, with Father Bill
TRUSZ, a pastor
at Saint Margaret Mary Church.
"They prayed for those that died and for those who survived,"
said TRUSZ. "
They are deeply stricken and just taking it one
hour at a time."
Visitation for Vivian, Francesco, Azzadine and Emily
PORTO will
be held today and tomorrow from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the Friscolanti
Funeral Chapel on 43 Barton St. E., Hamilton.
The funeral for all four will be held at 10: 30 a.m. on Wednesday
at Saint Margaret Mary Church at 20 Idlewood Ave., Hamilton.
