  • A Skateboard becomes a genuine form of transportation when the subway stops running. So says Jason Cooper; a 10-year-old student at Jesse Ketchum Public School on Davenport Rd.; anyway. Jason zipped home for lunch yesterday on his skateboard; zooming past the pedestrians who clogged the Bay-Bloor intersection.

      Image shows an anchor at the harbour with a ship in the background.
      Anchor aground: An old anchor looms in the foreground and mist rises off the water as Toronto harbor gets an early foretaste of the quiet days of winter. The harbor was busier this year than last; but things slow down to a crawl when winter really takes hold and the St. Lawrence Seaway and Welland Canal close for the season. Shipping usually stops at the end of December.
