Residents around Old Mill were surprised to find that 39 rock sculptures somewhat reminiscent of inuksuit had been erected in the Humber River early Monday. The creator of the rock pieces remains unknown, as do the intentions behind them -- but area residents hope that they'll remain in place.

Perhaps there's a connection, or perhaps there's more than one person who can balance stones in this manner...

A women in her 70s was pronounced dead after being pulled from a pool on McKee Ave. in Willowdale while a four-year-old boy is in life-threatening condition after he was found without vital signs in a pool on Porcupine Ave. in Mississauga. I'm reminded of the slew of pedestrian fatalities the city experienced in January. Is there a underlying problem with water safety that needs to be addressed, or is this string of drownings a tragic anomaly.

The Sun does its own "analysis" of municipal politics and Rob Ford a favour by exposing how much of their office budget city councillors have spent. Other revelations include Adam Giambrone's enrollment in French tutoring and Joe Pantalone's website improvements.
