Kelly Dolson has officially opened her new Core Body and Science Pilates and Training Studio. Her husband Thomas was helping Saturday and there were many friends and clients at the studio which is at 862 Millwood Rd. That’s Kelly inset with some senior Leasiders and prospective clients. All seniors will find a warm and caring welcome at Core. Kelly, a former critical care RN, has had a studio in this block for a number of years. But as business grew and opportunity knocked, Kelly recently bought the building she and Thomas have just renovated. It is a charming space with a southern exposure through the newly installed all-weather folding doors across the front of the storefront. You can reach Kelly at 416.799.0444 info@corebodyscience.com

The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health has scheduled a meeting in the Lea Room at the Leaside Arena for Monday, October 5, 2015 at 6.30 p.m. to answer community questions about the planned use of its building at 175 Brentcliffe Road. CAMH release  

The Ontario Court of Justice recently rendered a decision which provided an opportunity for grocery stores in Toronto to remain open on statutory holidays. As a result, a Longo’s store downtown was open on Labour Day and so was Summerhill Market  Summerhill is often open but it usually tapes off large parts of the store to conform with arcane provisions of municipal law.

PREPARED MEALS

Essentially, the court found that Longo’s was selling “prepared meals” under the City of Toronto legislation by which holiday shopping is controlled. Council is making noises that it will somehow plug this loophole  It says the prepared meals language was intended for restaurants. It’s an interesting skirmish in the timeless question of why some businesses are open and others must close. The Eaton Centre is always open. It benefits from what most people recognize as a thoroughly bogus definition of the place as a tourist zone.

CRAZY-QUILT RULES

The ongoing question is when if ever will this crazy quilt of legislation be tested by the Supreme Court of Canada (SCOC). Although some Councillors are grumbling, there is a lot of opinion that the City doesn’t dare lay a charge against a large firm with lots of money. If the complainant decided to appeal to the SCOC, there is opinion that dozens of regulations would be found unconstitutional.

Fire truck No 33 visited South Bayview today to be featured here by the The South Bayview Bulldog. Watch the siren check below. It is part of a city-wide tour of the wonderful 1942 Ford truck. It seems to be living up to the well-known advertising slogan Ford Tough. These and about eleven other antique TFS vehicles are well-coddled in fact. The current outings are to publicize the Firefighters Without Borders Calendar in aid of third-world fire departments. Money raised goes to purchase necessary equipment. This is the fifth year of publication for the calendar The tour has taken the two men assigned, Mykhal Baeir and Darius Kharazmi, all over the GTA. Today they started at the Yonge and Grosvenor station and moved on to the century fire hall at Yonge and Balmoral before dropping by Bayview and Millwood where these shots were taken.

Blue Jays relief pitcher Robert Osuna was at Howard Talbot Park the other night. He spoke modestly of his role with the contender Jays and of his family  where baseball runs strong. He has had a somewhat rocky September but his strong record of 15 saves is very fine.
