This week, following the passing of Jack Garner, city hall reporter Bob Bruton recalls his days going to Garner Sports in downtown Barrie and the high level of service that was always provided to a pickup league goaltender. "Being a practical fellow, I like fair prices for excellent sports gear and that pretty much defined Garner Sports," Bob writes.
As well, regular columnist Wendy King chimes in with her two cents on the much-talked-about pink building in downtown Barrie. "I didn’t want to weigh in right away, as I honestly wasn’t sure what to think of it," Wendy says. "My first impression was that it was very loud and maybe a bit gaudy, but then I am not a ‘pink' person, either."

And if you missed it, here's what happened last week:
The tiny puff of smoke from the jack-o'-lantern candles is still rising and reporter Shawn Gibson can't wait to bust out the Christmas decorations. 'Our tree likely won’t go up for just over a week, but the bins are being pulled out this week,' says the die-hard Christmas fan, who eagerly awaits all of the Christmas music that one person can handle and the other ephemera that goes with it each winter. He's that guy.
