The South Bayview Bulldog

The Maple Leafs beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 at home Saturday in a thrilling come-from-behind performance. But with the win, the Leafs also lost centre Auston Matthews to a shoulder injury — putting a cloud of uncertainty over what was an exhilarating third period resurgence with goals scored 26 seconds apart by Jake Gardiner and Kasperi Kapanen to secure Toronto’s second-straight win in a home-and-home.

No winning ticket was sold for the $5 million jackpot in Saturday night’s Lotto 649 draw. However, the guaranteed $1 million prize was claimed by a ticket holder in Ontario. The jackpot for the next Lotto 649 draw on Oct. 31 will be approximately $7 million.

Ladies at the “notions” table

Susan with varieties of cheese sold for charity

Business brisk at opening

Saturday morning (until 1 p.m.) saw the annual Manor Road United Church Rummage Sale at 240 Manor. This event has both fixed prices and items sold for whatever the buyer wishes. One transaction saw four excellent large coconut cookies go for three dollars. Cheap at twice the price. Team Manor veteran Susan was selling excellent choice varieties of cheese for charity as usual. Business was brisk shortly after the 10 a.m. opening.

The $60 million Lotto Max jackpot ticket is somewhere in Canaa’s west. The location has yet to be revealed. The draw also offered 56 Maxmillions prizes of $1 million each – and 27 of them were won. Those prizes will be shared among 36 winning ticket holders. The jackpot for the next Lotto Max draw on Nov. 2 will be approximately $39 million.

A 3:30 a.m. Eastern home run won the third game of the World Series for the LA Dodgers. You may well guess that most fans in Toronto were sound asleep already. CBS

Danforth Ave. will be closed for most of Sunday afternoon because of Greek Oxi Day, a celebration of national pride. From 1 p.m. to at least 3 p.m. the street will be occupied by a parade, rain or shine. It will start on Euston Ave and go north on Donlands and then west on Danforth to Broadview Ave.

Friendly people there

Orchids at Longo’s

If you’re in South Bayview Saturday morning, the Manor United Church Rummage Sale is always worth a visit. Friendly people there have all kinds of things on sale. The bake table is a Bulldog favorite. At the right, this fine young man was among classmates from Davisville Public School who helped kick off poppy season at the Davisville station Friday. Below that, a sweet kitten found on Manor Rd. between Cleveland St. and Forman Ave by Leah Temerty Lord. Across the bottom from the left, a great wayback playback (in black and white) as the 1974 Leaside Lancerettes are up for induction into the Leaside Hall of Fame November 16. Then, a couple of new spots on Midtown Yonge. The Mad Radish has vegan salads and Posh Home Box some charming items. Finally, take a moment to admire these strikingly patterned orchids seen at Longo’s.

The Leaside Property Owners Association has posted word on its website word that the developer RioCan has asked to meet with the LPOA board. This is in respect to plans for the enormous project RioCan has proposed to build at what is now Leaside Centre at the corner of Laird Dr. and Eglinton East (815 Eglinton). LPOA says it understands that RioCan is working on revised plans. “It’s a good sign!” says the post. “It appears that upping our game at the Local Planning Appeal Board (replacement for the OMB) and making sure the community is well aware of the concerns with the latest plans may be getting RioCan’s attention.”

ROBINSON TO ATTEND LPOA AGM DECEMBER 10

Also posted Friday at LPOA is a new date (December 10) for the organization’s Annual General Meeting at which time it is said Councillor Jaye Robinson will attend at the Lea Room at Leaside Arena. Time is 7 for 7.30 p.m.

Stocks are collapsing in the US and Canada again Friday in a costly slaughter of investments not seen in as much as five years. Shortly after 11 a.m. Toronto was down 180 points and the Dow in New York was down a stunning 497 points. A quick and easy reason for this is offered in the “disappointing” earnings of Amazon and others announced Friday. But the selling seems a lot like sheer panic to others. Towards noon, there were some signs of buying in a market which must be making certain stocks quite attractive.

Thursday morning

Know this guy?

A photo posted to Leaside Community shows a scene at about 4 a.m. Thursday in what is called the “Millwood Laird area.” It shows an apparently old man in a toque and sandals checking to see if a car door is open. The poster says the man is “walking around for unlocked doors. If you had anything taken out of your car, police reports are being filed. (Deleted) also rides a bike, leaves it lockup at the end of the street during the day and comes back to get it when going thru the cars. The bike has a unique feature: two large reflectors in each wheel.” This fellow should be easy to find. There are many posts and the consensus seems to be that with everything that is known about this person, plus the good photo, he can be captured.

Richard Southern of 680 News with word on what seems like a no-brainer. The Ford Conservatives will require new aspiring teachers to pass a mathematics test to qualify for their certificates. Why such a simple certification is not already in place does make one ponder.

A man said to be between 25 and 40 has been prowling streets in the Danforth Rd. and Cowell Ave. area in recent days, sitting behind the wheel of a car naked from the waist down. This was first noticed Monday, September 17 with the last sighting on Wednesday. He was seen driving slowly past girls on the sidewalk. He is described as having a light complexion, medium build, short brown hair and driving a light-coloured four-door style sedan. Police request the public to report any suspicious activity to police at 55 Division, (416) 808-5500

Seen in Danforth and Coxwell area many times
