•How can we deal with our grief and anger? How? Today there are pink ribbons on trees, poles and fence posts on many streets in South Leaside. These are little wisps of cloth, some with fancy bows, an expression of support for the family of Georgia Walsh but also an act of simple survival by ordinary people against crushing grief and helplessness. All over this little town within a City, decent people are seeking ways to somehow gain control of a heartless world. They were coming and going from the sweet memorial for Georgia by the hedge of Leaside United Church today at the last place she stood full of life and fun. The little boy seen here was with his dad as he photographed the statement hung there by Georgia’s parents. “Thank you for this extraordinary outpouring of love for our beloved daughter Georgia.” It told all who came there that the cards will be kept and cherished, the animals will be given to the Hospital for Sick Children to comfort other children and the flowers “will continue to fill our community with your endless love.” On the sidewalk on both sides of the street are large boxes of coloured chalk, a communal tool for the expression of messages. Georgia’s mother and father scratched their own: THANK YOU xo Georgia’s Mum and Dad

•GIRLS PUT BOYS TO SHAME IN SALSA “ELECTION DEBATE”
At the Salsa on St. Clair event Saturday the girls put the boys to shame in what was supposed to be a contest between candidates for mayor. Olivia Chow and Karen Stintz brought a lot of style to the dance but David Soknacki proved to have two left feet. Mayor Ford’s performance, for which he deserves a prize for guts, was unfortunate. John Tory apparently did not show up. Also good photos in the Sun here of ladies at work.

•A wag has said that the Honda Indy is probably not for most people who own a Honda. This alternative view of the odd closing off of the city streets for an event that frequently turns into a destruction derby is voiced at a little greater length in our sister blog Yonge and Roxborough News.
