The South Bayview Bulldog

This video is posted by the account named Forensic VR and says it identifies the beer can thrower. See what you think.

The northbound lanes of the Don Valley Parkway have been re-opened after a long closure Monday evening for what police called a medical emergency. News media Tuesday played down the story and it seems certain that the incident was related to a fall from the Milwood Bridge.

Among world happenings in places where there is no Thanksgiving today,  UK Chambers of Commerce say businesses are less likely to invest because of  Brexit but somehow that does not seem to have bothered consumers. Have a listen.

Elsewhere, The Who has rocked lovers of their cranky old rock and roll at the Desert Trip Music Festival in Indio, California and Madame Tussaud has unveiled a wax Justin Bieber, tats and all. Who are we to say? Finally, here is the whole Reuters budget for Monday, October 16, 2016.

Tweets on the official Toronto Hydro account suggest that the outage in the area bounded by Lawrence Avenue to the south, Hwy. 401 to the north, Victoria Park Avenue to the east and the DVP to the west is coming to an end. At shortly before 10 a.m. Monday the utility said 500 customers remained unserviced. It is said that underground equipment failed.

All power has been restored to customers in the DVP/Victoria Park/Lawrence/401 area. Thanks for your patience today and Happy Thanksgiving!

Battle of insults

Most grocery stores are closed today but as usual the Summerhill Market stores on Summerhill Ave and Mt. Pleasant Rd. are open. Other closures are the banks and government offices of course. Drugstores are typically open on reduced hours. The Rexall Pharma Plus at 320 Moore is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  and the Shoppers at 1601 Bayview is open until midnight. (Monday, October 10, 2016). CP24 take on this 

The Toronto Blue Jays are moving on the American League Championship Series after a wild finish to Game 3 of the ALDS.  It was a moment that will live in Blue Jay’s annals. With the game tied at 6 in the 10th,  Edwin Encarnacion on first and Josh Donaldson on second with one out, Rangers reliever Matt Bush got Russell Martin to ground the ball to short. Elvis Andrus fielded it easily and it looked like the Rangers were sure to close out the Jays with a double play. But Andrus wasn’t quite on-line with his throw to second baseman Rougned Odor. He had to pause on the pivot in front of Encarnacion’s slide. First baseman Mitch Moreland struggled to find the ball, which fell in the dirt. Donaldson barreled by third and came all the way home, clearly safe.

The Leaside Wildcats split their Thanksgiving weekend games with a loss Sunday at York University to the Toronto Aeros and a win Saturday at Hespeler Arena against the Cambridge Rivulettes. The score Sunday at CanLan Ice Sports Complex was 4-0 for the Aeros, a team that until Sunday had won only two games and had lost one. The Cats will no doubt wish to ponder that they were scored on three times while at full strength by the Aeros. The fourth marker occurred on an empty net-effort as Leaside tried to pull the game out of the fire. Leaside’s lone goal was scored at Megan Pardy with the help of Myah Bowal and Emma Pye while Claire Dalton was off for hooking. In total, Leaside took five penalties and the Aeros four.

SHOTS ON GOAL

Shanna Dolighan faced a staggering 44 shots in the Leaside net while Madeline Albert had to stop a mere 17, one of which got in. It says a lot. On Saturday, Leaside defeated Cambridge 1-0 for their third straight win in four games Saturday as Olivia Reid scored at 2.00 of the third period assisted by Payton Bray and Marlo Campbell. Rivulette goalie Kaitlin Kroetsch faced 22 shots and Katie Mowbray in the Leaside net stopped 18.

The $20.5 million jackpot in Saturday night’s Lotto 649 draw was won by a single ticket purchased in Ontario. The draw’s $1 million guaranteed prize also went to an Ontario ticket holder. The jackpot for the next Lotto 649 draw on Oct. 12 will be approximately $5 million.

There’s too much reaction to Donald Trump’s “locker room” vulgarities audio (which actually occurred on a bus in 2005) to run it all. We’ve chosen Robert De Niro’s lively rant.
