Happy Opening Day to those who celebrate! I've been a Blue Jays fan since Day 1. Tom Cheek and Jerry Howarth provided the soundtrack to the summers of my youth. I was looking at some of the media credentials hanging on my bookshelf ... I was so fortunate to be at SkyDome when the Jays won their second straight World Series. Great memories. Hopefully, more to come!
I covered the World Series, the Grey Cup and some Maple Leafs games for The Packet & Times. Great memories!

Did you know Orillia has one of the top Jr. C hockey teams in the province? They are currently battling league super power Alliston in the playoffs. Last night, a controversial call negated a goal that cost the Orillia Terriers a chance to take a 2-0 series lead. Read Tyler Evans' excellent article ... and check out video of the controversial non-goal.
Orillia Terriers' captain Dylan Palomaki looks to set up forward Jordan Fuller with a crisp pass through the Alliston Hornets’ defence.

I recently had the pleasure of giving a guest lecture at Lakehead University in Orillia. We talked about media literacy, the local media landscape and the important role media plays in today's world. If these students are any indication, the future is in good hands! Even more positive: about 75% of them voted in the recent provincial election!

The OrilliaMatters community advisory board met today at Brewery Bay. Unfortunately, a few of our members were not able to make it, but we had a lively discussion about local news, local politics and shared reflections about the ice storm. This group is vital to our success at OrilliaMatters.
