Your morning news roundup for Wednesday September 5th, 2007:

Summer refuses to retire, and the long-range forecast calls for temperatures in the 30s. This summer was thedriest in over 50 years in the GTA, and with the trees in so much distress we may not have a colourful fall as a result.

The proposal to build a city-run casino as a revenue source has been quashed. Both the mayor and the premier have declared itnot in the cards.

Call your city councillor and tell him you want to pay more taxes. That's pretty much the message Mayor Miller istaking to the streetsin his latest push to mobilize residents in favour of increasing tax revenues and maintaining city services and quality of life.

Thegreen bin waste program is now active across the GTA, after Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Georgina, King, Newmarket and Whitchurch-Stouffville launched it yesterday. Why it took5 freakin' years to roll outis a mystery to me.

Holy torpedoes! Kids playing in a field just north of the city (in Maple)dug up a box that contained two small but active torpedoesfrom 1944. The bombs were taken to CFB Borden for proper disposal.
