Jana Pokorna, the well-liked and long-time creator of jewellery in Leaside, has moved her shop from Sutherland Dr to 461 Eglinton East at Banff Road. Jana is a talented and inspiring person. She is an annual participant in the Ride to Conquer Cancer. Check the City News story done when her bike was stolen in 2015. Then visit Jana. Upper right, there is an informative and entertaining thread about raccoons in Leaside here. The consensus is as strong as coyote urine that if you get some of it from Urban Nature on Don Mills Rd. the raccoons will flee. But others are resigned to raccoon hegemony. One poster says: “I for one, welcome our new raccoon overlords.” Below that, a small reminder that Leaside’s Team Epping faces a Wild Card team at the Tim Horton’s Brier at 3 p.m. Thursday. It’s on TSN. Centre left, don’t forget to get your tweens and teens over to Mabel’s Fables March 15 when the author and artist of the kids gaming series Cross Ups will visit. To the right, a most engaging poster for International Women’s Day tweeted by Leaside United Church. Lastly, tomorrow marks the beginning of March Madness. Go over to the arena and check out the silent auction offerings.
