My choice for the next mayor of Peterborough and why (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sylvia Sutherland was Peterboroughâs mayor from 1985 to 1991 and from 1997 to 2006. I canât tell you how to vote. I can only tell you how I am going to vote. And why. Over the last couple of years, at their request, I sat down for coffee with five of the seven candidates running for mayor, three of them more than once. Each has something worthwhile to offer. The one I find who has the most to offer is Michael Eamon. Peterborough being at the juncture it is, with significant challenges both i

Read excerpt
Sylvia Sutherland was Peterboroughâs mayor from 1985 to 1991 and from 1997 to 2006. If you did an unpopularity poll on Facebook right now, the winners would be politicians, opinion columnists and algebra. Of these, the most unfairly judged is algebra. I recently mentioned to my friend Tim that I was thinking of writing a column in defence of algebra. In truth, this column is as much about another math teacher as it is about algebra. Because of her, when I was Grade 11, I wanted to become a mat

Read excerpt
Sylvia Sutherland was Peterboroughâs mayor from 1985 to 1991 and from 1997 to 2006. If I wanted to have influence, I chose the wrong career path. There were two distinct possibilities in 1963 when I graduated from Ryerson, my journalism diploma clutched firmly in my hand â newspapers or advertising. I opted for the former. My friend, Ron Buist, the latter. Ron went on to become head of advertising at Tim Hortons where he coined the slogan, âroll up the rim to win.â I had my chance. I gra
Roads, services, and libraries: How Peterborough’s election impacts daily life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sylvia Sutherland was Peterboroughâs mayor from 1985 to 1991 and from 1997 to 2006. OK, summer is almost over. Itâs time to put those lazy, hazy days behind you, perhaps pay one quick visit to Lake Ontario just to reassure yourself itâs still there, and start concentrating on the important business immediately at hand â the next municipal election. Itâs just weeks away, and much of what happens in your daily life, in and to your community, depends on its outcome. Not that you would kno
Sharing some memories with Margaret Atwood (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sylvia Sutherland was Peterboroughâs mayor from 1985 to 1991 and from 1997 to 2006. Well not exactly âwithâ her, but listening to her read her wonderfully absorbing âBook of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts,â over Audible. Itâs our book clubâs September selection, and I thought, given my aged eyes, it was easier, and perhaps even more satisfying, to listen rather than to read its weighty 624 pages. At regular speed I would have spent 25 hours and 36 minutes in Atwoodâs company. But she s
