Andy Fauset and son Nick are back at it again, paddling the Trent-Severn Waterway from Trenton to Peterborough to raise awareness and fundraise in support of Prostate Cancer Canada.

Burger titans Apollo Grill have set their sights on world domination as they expand their reign from the west end of the city to downtown Peterborough.
The restaurant will be located in the building at the corner of Hunter and George Streets — the location of Uptown Silk Shoppe for more than 70 years (and, most recently, Uptown Music).
Property owner Rennie Lowes of Exit Realty and esteemed architect Ken Trevelyan are currently restoring the building to its original state of architectural splendour.
“It’s a spectacular heritage building located at one of the busiest corners of our downtown,” says Apollo Grill owner Dan Rennick.
Famous for their classic old-school burgers, fries and shakes, Apollo Grill is excited to move into the new location in the fall of 2013.

“We hope people of all heights will join us, even tall people,” she jokes. “It’s a great chance for them to see how the other half lives.”

For many of us, that means cramming everyone into the family vehicle (carving out a space for the dog) and heading out camping.
I can’t remember being with Judy Heffernan and not feeling completely enveloped in her warmth.
Whether it was an embrace, her infectious laughter or rock-solid demeanour, Judy always made you feel secure, honoured, and loved.
Recorded in Toronto during a cold slushy week in April, Kelly McMichael’s brand new EP Liminal is being released in the midst of summer — and the sound suits the season perfectly.
