A witness to an accident on Bayview Ave in front of Romeo and Juliet hairdressing has posted an emotional account. A patient was taken to hospital but this incident is unrecorded by Police Operations Saturday night suggesting the incident, although upsetting, was not fatal. All the circumstances are unknown but those familiar with our business district often choose to wait for lights at Millwood and Manor to stop traffic before crossing at mid-block. Others however are not prepared to wait the time necessary for the lights to co-ordinate.

Trip to Bangladesh

Leaside blood clinic April 4

Every amenity/Bulldog

Thanks guys/Bulldog

Upper left, Laura Fortino and some pals were hanging out with the Leaside Wildcats Minor Novice girls at Baycrest Arena Saturday. These are mentors and role models that every six and seven-year old needs. Fortino played defense for Team Canada in 2011 and was first draft selection in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League in 2014. Thanks ladies. At right, MP Rob Oliphant will speak Tuesday about his recent trip to Bangladesh at the Jenner Jean-Marie Centre in Thorncliffe Park. Centre left, a reminder that the semi-annual Leaside blood clinic is April 4 at Northlea school. Please give. Centre right, Moore Park residents like to think their neighborhood has every amenity. And here on Heath St., what else could one ask for? Finally at the bottom, Toronto firefighters deserve an easy one now and then. Here they get a smile over their efforts to “knock down” a blaze started by a cigarette in a garbage container at Mt. Pleasant and Millwood Rd. Saturday afternoon. But no kidding, thanks guys.

Filling potholes in Toronto is a lot like painting the Golden Gate Bridge. The job is never over. Saturday has seen crews hard at work in the third blitz this year across the City. It is said they were concentrating on the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway on Friday night. No mention of Balliol St. But hope is strong. Several more weekend repair blitzes are expected through April. Normally, the City has 25 crews regularly filling potholes and during a weekend blitz, that number usually doubles. This weekend, there are 90 crews filling holes across the City. Anyone can report potholes online or by calling 311, emailing 311@toronto.ca, or by using the 311 app. They say it may take four days for a crew to get there.

Eight-person folly about to collapse/Sarasota County Sheriff

Video has been released of the perilous stunts performed by Nik Wallenda and other members of the famous aerialist family. This eight-person folly is about to collapse. Then to the right, users are swooning over the prospect of a huge marijuana emporium in the former HMV store on Yonge St. The rent stopped Sunrise Records from taking it. Below that, the well-told tale of perhaps the largest methamphetamine seizure in GTA history. And lastly, cleaning up after a bus wreaks destruction on your home. Spare us all.

No winning ticket was sold for the $35.7 million jackpot in Friday night’s Lotto Max draw. That means the jackpot for the next draw on Mar. 29 will be approximately $50 million, and there will also be two Maxmillion prizes of $1 million each up for grabs.

Marcella Zoia, accused of throwing chairs and other objects off a condo tower balcony in February. has lost friends and her place in a dental hygiene program since the incident her lawyer said at a court appearance Friday. Ms Zoia, 19, is seeking to avoid a trial and keeping low, he said. Nonetheless, she has gathered more than 14,000 followers on Instagram. The accused was remanded pending a decision on a criminal trial.

The truck driver who caused the deadly Humboldt Broncos crash has been sentenced to eight years in prison. Jaskirat Singh Sidhu of Calgary had pleaded guilty earlier this year to 29 counts of dangerous driving. He stood quietly and looked ahead at the judge as he was sentenced Friday. Judge Inez Cardinal told court in Melfort, Sask., that she approached the sentence knowing “nothing can turn back the clock.”

We can all sympathize but police are asking anyone jammed into a subway with an unwashed commuter to refrain from pushing the alarm. This after a passenger was so revolted by the odour of a fellow “better way” rider that the system-stopping emergency button seemed like the only remedy. As reported by Global News, PC David Hopkinson said this occurred on the train at Queen subway station Thursday around 7:40 p.m. He said the details of the call were shared on Twitter in the hope of raising public awareness about the misuse of the alarm system. “It’s a teaching point now. ‘Hey, I know you’re uncomfortable. You have absolutely every right to complain, but using the passenger assistance alarm is not for that,’” Hopkinson said. “The alarm is for emergency use and this type of incident is not considered an emergency … With passenger assistance alarms, we assume that it’s an emergency — somebody is having a medical episode, their life is in danger, they’re being attacked, there’s some kind of accident in the station.” It’s not recorded if the offending passenger was wearing Rotting Carcass Cologne in order to obtain a seat or protect his space.

Air conditioning had just arrived at movie theatres

Set in 1936 Toronto

Maureen Jennings

Maureen Jennings will visit the Sleuth of Baker Street book store Saturday from 3 to 5:30 p.m. to launch her newest novel, Heat Wave. Many know Jennings from her Victorian character William Murdoch (Murdoch Mysteries) but the new book features his son, Jack, a Toronto detective in 1936 and his friend, a PI named Charlotte Frayne. Inevitably the notorious North American heat wave of 1936 forms the background. Sleuth of Baker Street is at 907 Millwood Rd. at Sutherland.
