The South Bayview Bulldog

Loblaws at 321 Moore Ave. is ready but the bedding plant excitement is still a few weeks away — even for hardy horticulturalists. All across South Bayview this morning it looks more like January 11 than April 11.  As an “April Surprise” this is a big one. Read the outlook from The Weather Channel.  

The Federal Government has issued a recall for Old Navy footed and non-footed one-piece sleepers with the style number starting with 476746. The Healthy Canadians notice says: “They are made of 100% cotton. The hazard identified by Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program has determined that these products do not meet the flammability requirements for children’s sleepwear under Canadian law. Loose-fitting children’s sleepwear can contact ignition sources such as stove elements, candles, and matches more readily than tight-fitting sleepwear, and once ignited will burn rapidly, potentially resulting in severe burns to large areas of the child’s body. For this reason, cotton is not permitted in loose-fitting sleepwear. Neither Health Canada nor Old Navy has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of the affected sleepwear.” The recall notes that some 15,550 of the recalled products were sold in Canada between June 2012 to February 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and return them to where they were purchased.

Timothy Doner isn’t the captain of the basketball team. He’s not the student council president and he’s not starring in his school’s play. But the 17-year-old teenager easily stands apart from the rest of his peers at school, if not the rest of the youth in the U.S. Doner will practice languages at restaurants and meet-ups throughout New York, speaking Arabic in Astoria, Queens to Mandarin in New York City’s Chinatown. He’ll even order his kabob from street vendors using arabic.  New Tang  Dynasty TV.
