Carriage breaks off

Riders flung out

The injured

A ride known as the Fire Ball broke up as it whirled above the Ohio State Fair Wednesday night loaded with young fun seekers. It was opening day. For reasons unknown, one carriage on the ride’s big wheel broke off and slammed to the ground. The break in the ring also flung riders from other carriages out as well. A boy of 18 is dead and seven others are injured, three critically.

An armed teen, 15, one of possibly three perpetrators, was shot by Peel police during what appears to have been a rampage of breakins and attempted car jackings at and around the Credit Vally Town Plaza at Creditview Rd and Brittannnia Rd. early Thursday. One woman said a young man with a gun opened the door to her car. He seemed dazed when she told him to shut the door. Then he left. The wounded youth was reported to be conscious when taken to hospital. Two of the youths fled in a vehicle. The SIU is investigating.

Modified Dodge panel truck

As they were sold new (in two sizes)

True sedan delivery

Andy Elder of the Grilltime specialty meat shop on Laird Drive came upon this modified 1940 Dodge panel truck in Bobcaygeon last weekend and posted it. Before there were SUVs and minivans there were half-ton panels (like the Dodge posted by Andy) and the upscale commercial carrier known as the sedan delivery (lower right). Like most men, Andy was slightly enchanted by this boy’s toy and how those with enough money will fit the metal shell of these cars and trucks over the modern mechanicals of a “donor” vehicle offering air, power and automatic transmission.

Not satisfied with this

Jenna got this

The treatment sometimes known as “lip-fill” is called a common cosmetic procedure by CBC writer Aaron Saltman. The trend is sought by women who want fuller, plumper lips like those of reality TV star Kylie Jenner. But a young woman from Toronto called Jenna is warning others about the dangers of home lip augmentation and lip-filler parties after a complication left her temporarily disfigured and at risk of losing her lip, nose and possibly even her eyesight had she not been professionally treated in time. Apparently the needle punctured a blood vessel. Some might call it a form of self abuse in pursuit of glamour. Sadly, it’s a human inclination that recurs. CBC

The U.K. government is set to ban new diesel and gasoline cars from 2040, following a similar move in France, in a bid to tackle pollution that could mark the end of traditional combustion engine vehicles in Europe. The government is set to unveil its much-anticipated clean air plan after a protracted legal fight with the country’s High Court, the BBC and other media groups reported Wednesday. The government was ordered by the courts to produce new plans to tackle illegal levels of harmful pollutant nitrogen dioxide when judges agreed with environmental campaigners that previous plans were not sufficient to meet EU pollution limits. The government was given until July 31 to unveil the plan — The Street
