Hey Hags, we have a whole bunch of new dog lovers here to hate your canine cooking ways! Once again, after this column ran in The Times there was a flurry of letters from dog lovers who took it seriously, and wanted to string poor Hags up from the nearest yardarm. This seems like a good time to [...]

Doing Life in Lamebridge:Unveiling the new logo
November 15, 2011
I made this one back in March. It seems am appropriate time to bring it back up.
Jack Ferguson:Lest We Forget
November 11, 2011
These are a just a few of the newspaper clippings about my grandfather that were dropped off to me this week. As some of you know, I have been on a search for the last few years for any information I could find about him. John A. Ferguson, Jack to his friends, went overseas in [...]
Bob Rae’s economic speech: We can’t take prosperity for granted: leadership in turbulent times
November 10, 2011
Bob Rae’s speech to the ‘Economic Club of Canada’: The theme of my speech is simple and direct – much public policy debate seems to assume that Canada can take its prosperity for granted. Politicians squabble about how to divide up the cake. The truth is that you need to bake a cake first. The [...]
Hags goes Symphonic
November 9, 2011
Bob, Pearl, Brenda and I went to the Symphony. If you think we are better suited to be at a revival of Credence Clearwater or a pool hall you’re probably right. We went to the KW Symphony however because the price was right (zero) and we have a sense of adventure for the known, the [...]
Occupy Toronto
November 6, 2011
One of our interns, Brendan Daley, has been covering the Occupy Toronto movement for school. My disdain for the corporations who determine what is news, and what we should know, is well known. The new paper seems to fit perfectly with what the protesters are saying, and so I asked Brendan for his stories to [...]
Limerick Rd. back before council Monday. Again
November 6, 2011
It seems that our council is incapable of making their minds up about Limerick Rd. Last week the residents were informed that the matter will be before council again this Monday. They thought was settled a month ago when Coun Ermeta changed his vote about the adjournment. The Limerick Rd. residents didn’t get their adjournment, [...]
Pissed on by Angels ( This is not a biker story!)
November 6, 2011
Today I find myself able to really relax for the first time in almost a year. I did nothing today; the first Sunday I’ve had off in almost a year. I think I am where I am supposed to be. Sometimes an artist is driven by a force, a compulsion, an irresistible need to create [...]
Liberals Not Dead Yet
November 6, 2011
I wrote this piece in response to Gerry Nicholls assertions that the Liberal Party was done like dinner, to quote a colourful figure from the past. It has been up on Gerry’s Freedom Forum for a couple of days now. By the way, by “young, energetic new leader,” I don’t mean Justin Trudeau. ********************************************************************** Gerry Nicholls says [...]
Iconographer Christopher Van Donkelaar: “Unorthdox” Artist makes own paint
October 21, 2011
You may not think a handful of dirt could ever be useful. However, to a local painter, this is a world of possibility. Iconographer Christopher Van Donkelaar appeared Thursday, Sept. 22 at the Cambridge Centre for the Arts, providing the audience with an in depth look into his fascinating method of painting. At first glance, [...]
In A Land Far Far Away
October 20, 2011
On a day long ago, in a land far away a young girl moved to the big, bad village of Hespeler. Her mom had brought her to Ontario to get her and her brother away from their father. This young girl, who was about to turn twelve years old, did not want to move away [...]
The Citizen: Your Advocate in Cambridge
October 18, 2011
Last night The Citizen took a major step forward when one of our interns, Jake Robinson, sat at the media table during a council meeting. I felt a sense of both pride and accomplishment watching Jake chat with Kevin Swayze from The Record. As a journalism intern, it was important for him, and Jake looked [...]
Crocs
October 17, 2011
You should be put on a spit and char broiled if you wear Crocs…perhaps the ugliest footwear thrust upon us by flighty fashion gurus. Now, I’m willing to make exceptions for children…who look cute in them…but for anyone over fourteen, the wearing of such profanely ugly footwear should be tormented forever by having their butts [...]
Sweater for a Soldier
October 17, 2011
My father, Jim Alexander, served overseas with the Lincoln and Welland Regiment during WWII. He was one of four Hespeler boys to receive the Military Medal for bravery. The others were Fred Baker, George Edmonds and John Spencer. This recount of one of my dad’s war stories, is dedicated to their memory. (B.A.) During World [...]
Boobs and Other Idiots
October 11, 2011
Friday’s are breakfast with my best friend Bob. Last week was his turn to pick me up for vittles at Whimpy’s. At about the appointed time my phone rings and Bob asks “Jim, are you ready, I’m outside?” I look out the window and there is no car in my drive. “You kidding” I ask? [...]
Taking to the sky
October 9, 2011
Brendan is a second year journalism student at Conestoga College. When Scot was trying to come up with a good first assignment for him Brendan made the mistake of telling Scot he had never flown. As somebody who has never flown in an airplane, I was thrilled when word was mentioned that I would be [...]
Main Street Questions
October 8, 2011
Why did the city rebuild just one block of main Street? Do the merchants to the east not deserve the granite curbs, benches and trees? Did the city partner with a developer? If so who selected the changes? Will the remainder of the street be done? Is this another “Mayors Project”? Another shot at marking [...]

Rob Leone was just declared the winner for Cambridge. Congratulations to Rob and his team.
