Her 11-year-old son participates in after-school activities that sometimes keep him from walking home until 5 p.m. or so, she said, which worries her since his route takes him beneath the darkened train trestle. We checked it out and noticed that none of the thick glass covers over the lights were broken, which would have been a sign of vandalism, meaning that the fix needed may be as simple as changing some bulbs. STATUS: Toronto Hydro is in charge of most street lighting, but responsibility for lighting in some parks and underpasses is somewhat murkier. So we called both Steve Johnston, who deals with media for the works department, and Tanya Bruckmueller, who does the same thing for Hydro. Bruckmueller called back to say she'd determined Hydro is responsible for lights in the Brock St.

There is nowhere to go but up when you start your acting career in a leading role opposite Denzel Washington. Ten films later, Derek Luke is sharing opening credits with legends Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise and a man he calls ‘Bob'- director Robert Redford. The United Artist/MGM release Lions for Lambs opens in theatres nationwide tonight [November 9], and Luke plays another strong and driven character, Arian Finch. Consumed by his patriotic duty to put his money where his mouth is, Arian volunteers to go to war. The War on Terrorism is a relevant and especially touchy subject to tackle, yet nothing short of characteristic for Derek Luke's cinematic resumé to date. Derek exudes confidence as he speaks superstars and Jersey swagger. He also claims to be on assignment by his generation, on the rise and at the top, all at the same time.

Only two more shopping days until I return to the final days of the City Council campaigns. Then, we'll have fun taking apart the campaigns. Any dirt yet? Any mudslinging. You know, the good stuff. Or is everyone behaving? My wife is now looking over my shoulder -- literally -- so I have to pretend that I'm just checking ball scores. See ya in two days. Here's Wild Card ... .

Dec 28th
Well, it's almost time for me to head off to Australia. Tomorrow, actually, but this might be my last chance to get in a blog before then. I will try to blog while there but won't promise. Christmas is over and it was quite a pleasant one. My son visited from Las Vegas and he said he had a good time. It looks like he is set on going back to college full time to qualify as an accountant. He did one class last semester and got an A, so it looks like he should do OK in that field. He has quite a bit of money coming to him for education from the time he spent in the United States Air Force; at least enough for about two years of college. We spent Christmas Eve morning at my wife's parents then headed to Pensacola Beach, Florida to where my wife's sister and family live. Lots of gifts were handed around and we all ate and drank too much.
