This week, columnist Wendy King laments the future with the possibility of roundabouts becoming more and more part of the local traffic landscape. Let's just say she's not a big fan.
Also, city hall reporter Bob Bruton airs his grievances over the ever-changing English language and how politicians and bureaucrats speak. It appears not everyone is aligned with his messaging.
Additionally, sports columnist Peter Robinson speaks to local native Chris Kontos. The former Olympian played for the Canadian men's hockey team in 1994 in Lillehammer, back when the squad was made up of non-NHLers, something we are seeing again at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Finally, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, food columnist Daniel Clements explains why the kitchen will 'always be the heart of the house.
