Being married to a chef and being a not bad cook myself, around this time of the year our phone starts to ring.
It starts off with a little chit chat and then, out of nowhere, our friends will ask “So I’m having Thanksgiving this year, what do you suggest?” or, my favourite, “I have this bird in my sink, what should I do?”
This Saturday (October 6), 96 players hit the ice for the 8th Annual Patch Cup Hockey Tournament.
The event takes place from 1 – 10 p.m. at the Peterborough Memorial Centre and is considered a favourite in the Hockey Association of the Arts (H.A.A.) calendar.
It’s been a tough year for Dean Del Mastro, largely because he spent most of it with his foot in his mouth. Luckily for him, the public venom seems to have lost strength since Parliament Hill returned from summer vacation, which may be because MP Del Mastro has been largely silent — until Thursday that is.
This week, a private member’s bill was tabled with the intention to create a government committee to review the Criminal Code of Canada’s definition of when a child’s life begins. Not a big deal, right? Well, it’s bigger than you may think.
“I went to visit a friend living there who designs sets for television commercials. She was working on a project and I ended up on the set every day — pressing linens, moving furniture, whatever was needed.

Peterborough has taken another step towards getting a town square. After months of debate, our city council finally came to an agreement that yes, in fact, the Louis Street parking lot was the best choice for a downtown square. Ultimately, the downtown core won.
If I were to poll a thousand Peterborough residents on whether they’d feel safe walking through our downtown core at 10:00pm on a Saturday night, I’m guessing a large percentage would say no.
