A blue Honda Odyssey like the one at upper left was stolen overnight off Randolph Road. The owner is offering neighbours a heads up. No word on whether it was left open or if thieves did a lock pick. To the right, that logo heralds the February 1 puck-drop of the Leaside Select Invitational Tournament for 2018. More than 2,000 kids played hockey last year. The amusing front page of Leaside Life with Goeff Kettel facing off against columnist Will Ashworth reminds us that Mr. Ashworth and his family are moving away from Leaside. Local friend Wilmar Kortleever has penned a nice farewell on Leaside Community and Ashworth has responded with equal grace. Lower left, south Leaside residents are asked to keep a sharp eye out for, um, Lazer Eyes, the mesmerizing pet belongs to Johannah J. This cat is not to be confused with Shady, another black and white who is bunking for the moment in North Leaside. Bottom centre, Select Bakery at 405 Donlands is hiring. Could be good. Then, in the same neighbourhood, it’s never good when banks close but the Gyro Bar at 1050 Coxwell is making suitable use of the building. TD left behind an ATM.
