COFFEE BREAK: Bob Turner broke a colour barrier
By CLAUDE MCINTOSH
Any kid who grew up in Cornwall during the 1950s and 1960s has never confused Bob Turner, this city's first recreation director, with the Bob Turner who spent six seasons on the Montreal Canadiens' blue-line, earning five Stanley Cup rings.

It’s now been one month since the most tragic events to hit my beautiful island of Haiti. All Haitians in the world are mourning. Even though I was not born or even raised there, Haiti flows in my veins and in my heart. The last month has been hard for me knowing that I was there, on vacation for the holidays, 2 weeks prior to the events and knowing that I’ve lost friends, family members and people that I will never be able to see again. However, I console myself by knowing that the last memories of them were joyful.
