Original Toronto Star caption: Give a politican a shovel . . . There was a little horseplay yesterday between Mayor Dennis Flynn (left) and Alderman Dick O'Brain after Flynn officially planted an alder tree at Etobicoke Civic Centre. Although the name Etobicoke; translated from Ojibwa; means where the alder grows; the original alders died out years ago. They got this tree from Scarborough.
