Neighbourhood feud turns deadly
By Henry STANCU, Staff Reporter
A man was shot to death and two of his brothers were also hit by bullets yesterday in what Friends say was an ongoing feud between neighbourhood groups.
It was one of two separate shootings within 90 minutes in Toronto.
Police and paramedics arrived at the second shooting scene to find three brothers hit by bullets in the city's west end.
Two of the victims were sprawled in the laneway off Turnberry Ave., near Old Weston and Rogers Rds., at about 5: 45 p.m.
"My brother is out there. Laying there. I can't believe this happened," said Paul PEREIRA, 31, after learning his brother Mario, 29, was dead.
The victim died instantly from a gunshot wound to the chest.
His brothers -- Pedro, 22, who was shot in the stomach, and Louis, 17, who was hit in the leg -- were both taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries.
One of the brothers staggered to a nearby home where a resident called 911.
"I heard about eight shots. One at first, then three and then some more," said PEREIRA, the oldest of five brothers and three sisters whose family lives in a home backing onto the laneway.
Friends gathered outside the home said there was a dispute in the same spot involving two large groups of area residents two evenings ago, but they dispersed when police arrived.
The victim, who lived with his mother, had a 2-year-old child.
About 90 minutes earlier, Carlene BLACKWOOD heard gunfire and people shouting before a wounded man burst into her Driftwood Crt. townhouse, near Jane St. and Finch Ave. W. in North York.
"Save me! Save me! They gonna kill me," cried the victim, who was shot in the back after fleeing a hail of bullets.
BLACKWOOD's 20-year-old daughter slammed the door shut just before a man started pounding on it, swearing and demanding to get at the 40-something victim.
"Let me kill him," BLACKWOOD heard one man shout before he ran around to her unit's backdoor and began pounding on it.
BLACKWOOD, a mother of four, called 911 to get help.
"I started screaming. I feel so nervous now that I want to move away. This happened just when the kids were coming home from school," she said.
Police cordoned off the cul-de-sac around the front the townhouse where as many as a dozen shell casings littered the road.
The victim was listed in serious condition with a bullet lodged near his spine. Police say he is expected to live.

BLADEK, Antonette " Tena" Kathleen
Peacefully at her residence on Thursday, June 16th, 2005, "Tena" Antonette Kathleen BLADEK in her 92nd year. Beloved wife of the late John BLADEK (1983.) Dearly loved mother of Joseph F.

During World War 2, Tena spent long and late hours assisting the Red Cross by knitting warm socks and mittens for our soldiers abroad, while at War's end, and as the Polish soldiers were finding new lives in Canada - which meant a necessary two years of farm work upon arrival - Tena and her husband John provided these soldiers with a warm and loving home to come to during weekend release times. Her strong spiritual life led her to become a member of the P.S.N., a second language teacher at the Polish National Association and a founding member of Our Lady of Czestochowa Parish which she and her husband remained lifelong and active members of, involved in activities that included the organization of the Seniors Club, and personally designing and creating quilts and afghans each year to raise funds for charity. She remained a member of the Board of Directors of Our Lady of Czestochowa Parish into her 85th year. In her professional life, from 1960 until her retirement, Tena was not only a respected and loved staff member of Eatons but an historical employee; although she began her career in the Housewares department, Tena became the singular person at Eatons to be honoured with the position of "Rover" which meant she was an expert in every department of the store. Visitors will be received on Sunday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the O'Neil Funeral Home, 350 William St. (Between King & York). Funeral Mass in Our Lady of Czestochowa Church, 419 Hill Street, on Monday at 11: 00 a.m. Interment St. Peter's Cemetery. Prayers Sunday evening at 7: 30.

BLADEK gave from heart
By Sharon HO, Free Press Reporter
Antonette BLADEK was a woman who never stopped giving.
"She was an extraordinary, generous, kind woman," said her daughter, Louise Ann BLADEK of London.
BLADEK, who moved to London nearly 70 years ago, died June 16 from cancer at the age of 92.
Tena, as she was called, learned about the importance of giving to others from her parents.
"Mother saw it as her prime objective, by example of her parents, that others in the world needed to be loved and comforted," Louise Ann said.
BLADEK's lessons about caring for others was learned as a child, when her family "adopted" a man from their church, who moved in with the family.
Her generosity kept her busy during the Second World War when she knitted socks and mittens for Canadian soldiers.
In the late 1940s, Tena and her husband, John, took former Polish soldiers into their home as the men moved to Canada to start a new life after the war. It really helped that Tena was fluent in Polish.
"I do remember as a little kid waking up and finding people sleeping in our house," Louise Ann said. "Our house was known as the place where anyone could get food."
A spiritual woman, BLADEK was a founding member of Our Lady of Czestochowa Church in London.
"We needed her because she was bilingual and she was a woman of faith," said Reverend Peter SANCZENKO, a former priest at the church.
BLADEK helped raise money for the church before it was built. On one occasion, she and her brother-in-law, John DAWIDOWSKI, knocked on an apartment door asking for money, Louise Ann said.
It was a one-bedroom apartment and the family was using blankets to divide the apartment into compartments.
But when BLADEK and DAWIDOWSKI said they were collecting money for a Polish church," Louise Ann said, the family "donated 100 $1 bills.... She said that was the greatest gift she had gotten that day."
The church also remembered BLADEK for her generosity.
"She was always willing to help when you called her," SANCZENKO said. "She always found time for others. She shared her time and gifts (pleasantness, cheerfulness and helpfulness) with others."
