An Ontario ticket won the $23 million Lotto 649 jackpot in Saturday night. A ticket purchased in Ontario also claimed the draw’s guaranteed $1 million prize.

There has been another case of eggs being thrown at a home as reported on the Leaside Chit-Chat Facebook account. The homeowner says security cameras at his place caught the offenders and that they are boys known to him. “Our house got egged this eve. Luckily we have surveillance cameras. The boys are known. Not the first time they have been a problem to our home. Deciding whether to tell the parents or police.” There are several responses to this post. Most people seem to feel that he should tell both the parents and the police. One member references the Ontario Parental Responsibility Act. It states that if a child causes damage and it can be proven that the parent did not exercise “reasonable supervision”, the parents can be held liable for the damage. Egg throwers seen early Saturday attacking a Leaside home

Barry Sherman

Shaun Rootenberg

The CBC is saying Saturday that Barry Sherman was engaged in a lawsuit against a convicted fraudster who had allegedly duped the billionaire philanthropist out of a $150,000 investment. Ontario Superior Court documents show Sherman, founder of the Canadian pharmaceutical giant Apotex, intended to invest in an app called Trivia For Good, which described itself as a “mobile-trivia app that offers huge cash prizes. The principal of this scheme is named by the CBC as Shaun Rootenberg, the former interim chief financial officer at Algoma Public Health. He faced charges of fraud over $5,000 in relation to funds allegedly taken from people he met on a dating site. Toronto Police said in June, 2017, that Rootenberg operated on eHarmony as Shaun Rothberg. The CBC says that Sherman was introduced to Mr. Rootenberg by Myron Gottlieb. He was a partner with Garth Drabinsky in Livent

Cats defeat Sens 3-1

Looking good

Blueblood truffle

Empty on Brentcliffe

Huh?

The Leaside Jr. Wildcats landed in Ottawa ready to play Saturday. The red, white and black squad whipped the ranking Lady Sens 3-1. The box score tells of a short-handed goal by Kristin Della Rovere assisted by Quinn Johnston. All right ladies. To the right, Creeds Coffee and Dry Cleaning at 1595 Bayview is showing off its new awning. Centre left, Avoca Chocolates on Millwood Rd. is making tempting sparkly-sugar blue coloured truffles for the  Blueblood Steakhouse at the Casa Loma. You can get them at the Avoca shop too. Below that, empty stores are piling up at the Dawsco Plaza where the owners hope to build high-rises. Finally, the Bayview Ave. award for obscure front page of the month goes to NOW.

Fibe box on Millwood at Sutherland

Surprise!

2014 at Bayview and Millwood

Many readers are commenting on Leaside Community this Saturday in response to a man who came home to find a large cable spool in his backyard. He believes there’s an easement for Bell and others to work back there when necessary. But he wondered just what was happening. It appears to be the arrival of fibre optic cable (fibe) in Leaside. A crew was busy Saturday morning installing a fibe box on Millwood Rd. at Sutherland Dr. outside the little plaza in the 900 block. At right, we see the unholy blockage caused in 2014 at Millwood and Bayview Ave. when fibe came to the Davisville side.

Josephine Dugas, 21

A post to the Twitter account of Toronto Police Operations (TPS Ops) is asking for help to find 21-year-old Josephina Dugas.She was last seen at 10 p.m. on Friday in the area of Pape Ave and O’Connor Dr. Police believe she may be in the company of a man and are concerned for her safety, but were not releasing any names as they investigated the matter. She is described as 5’3” tall with a medium build and dark-blond, shoulder length hair. She was last seen without shoes, wearing a black jacket and black yoga pants. Anyone with information about her location is asked to call police at 416-808-5500 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 4416-222-8477, or to leave a tip online at www.222tips.com.

Friday saw homicide and forensic personnel bringing additional and heavy equipment to the address known as 53 Mallory Cres just behind the commercial plaza at 325 Moore Ave. The home sits on the secluded side of Mallory Green, a large island of grass. The rear of  the property faces south with exposure to the long hill that leads down to the Crothers Woods Trail. What’s buried there? Police seem determined to find out.

The Ontario Progressive Conservative Party will hold a leadership race ahead of the June general election, the party’s executive committee announced Friday. Earlier, the caucus appointed North Bay MPP Vic Fedeli as interim leader. All 200,000 members of the party will vote on March 24 on a new leader to challenge Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne. But officially, the race hasn’t started yet. Party president Rick Dykstra said the time frame will be established later. The move contradicts an earlier decision by the party’s caucus that MPP Vic Fedeli would serve as permanent party leader through the upcoming election on June 7.

No tariffs on C Series in US

Super Bowl commercials

Chase me

Bombardiers has dodged a nearly 300 percent tariff on its C Series commercial jetliner as the U.S. International Trade Commission rules in its favour. The commissioners voted unanimously that Boeing did not suffer harm from prospective imports of the C Series. Bombardier called the decision “a victory for innovation, competition, and the rule of law.”

SUPER BOWL ADS

Canadian viewers will still be able to watch American ads when they watch the 2018 Super Bowl on American channels February 4. In a ruling dated Jan. 24, the Supreme Court of Canada rejected Bell Canada’s request for a stay of a CRTC regulation allowing U.S. ads to be shown on Canadian airwaves during the NFL championship game. That means the CRTC decision will almost certainly stay in place for this year’s game, pitting the New England Patriots against the Philadelphia Eagles.

L.A. CAR CHASES

The New Yorker Magazine is cluck clucking about how TV exploits car chases in Los Angeles while producing this entertaining mini-doc on the modern-day phenomenon said to have been embedded in the culture by O.J. Simpson.

Vic Fedeli, 61, a former mayor of North Bay who has been an MPP since 2006, has been chosen by the PC caucus as interim leader. He will lead the party into the June election, it is said. Wikipedia
