John Gibbons was given a hearty farewell as manager of the Blue Jays Wednesday night as the team and fans showed thier affection for “the Gibber.” The Jays defeated the defending champion Houston Astros 3-1 while fans applauded Gibbons throughout the game. The win guaranteed Gibbons a managerial win-loss record above .500. “I didn’t want to end up below .500 because then they call you a loser,” Gibbons said with a chuckle hours after the team announced the long-expected news that he would not be returning next season. The Jays end the season in Tampa Bay.

The Ontario government says it will halt a planned increase to minimum wage that was scheduled to kick in next year. Labour Minister Laurie Scott says the minimum wage will remain at $14 an hour rather than rising to $15 as planned by the previous Liberal government.

Carl Hanske of 680 News provides succinct but informative report on death of boy, 15, on Sackville St. He has been identified as Mackai Bishop Jackson, 15, of Toronto.

The Starbucks at 167 Church St. has closed, another of the locations that proved to be one too many for the ever-present coffee chain. The closing is reminiscent of the quick closure of the Starbucks on Laird Drive about 30 months ago. Some are surprised at how quickly such closures occur. One secret is that cash-rich Starbucks doesn’t try to cancel the lease. Monthly payments continue to the end of the lease with the location standing vacant. It is an insight into the relative cost of rent versus staff and daily operation of a Starbucks. In the case of the Laird location, it was clear that the firm had too many outlets in the area.
