Owen Sound Police arrest and charge two males with stealing. During the early morning hours police were advised of two males shoplifting from a downtown convenience store. The males had fled prior to police arrival after stealing a small amount of food items. Shortly before 6:00 am police were notified by a citizen that he observed two males stealing from vehicles in his neighbourhood located in the area of 4th Avenue West and 13th Street West. The citizen provided police with their descriptions and location which assisted in their arrest. Upon arrest, police identified the two males as also being the ones involved in the convenience store theft. Two Owen Sound area men, a 19 year old male and 20 year old male have each been charged with two counts of theft, possession of property by crime and prowl by night and must attend court in September. Police are requesting that anyone who has had property stolen from the said area contact investigating officer PC Edmiston at 519-376-1234 x179.

Tourists don't often get the chance to really get a feel for the places we visit. Brief stops are defined by visitor centres, crowded attractions, absent sign posting, and the people we meet in shops and hostels. That has been much of my Canadian experience so far. As a visitor to this country I have the claim to an outsider's more objective lens, as well as a disclaimer for imperfect vision. In visiting Owen Sound I've had the good fortune of staying with local friends deeply involved in their community and the world at large. Conversations suddenly expand beyond the 'where are you from' and 'how long are you visiting' pleasantries to comparative questions of social norms, penal systems, or electoral structures. These discussions are often hinged on observed differences in lifestyles and communities, sparking reflection on how my perspective on Owen Sound yields insight.
First impressions of people supposedly form in eight seconds; roughly a day can show the superficial characteristics of a town.
Deaths related to overdose are now the third leading cause of accidental death in Ontario. In Grey Bruce, death and injury have more than doubled from an average of 18 patients attending Owen Sound hospital from 2002-2007 to over 50 a year since 2008.
In conjunction with International Overdose Awareness Day, marked August 31, the Grey Bruce Health Unit is launching a Take-Away Naloxone or TAN Program. As part of public health's Harm Reduction Strategy, the TAN Program provides people who are at risk for opiate overdose with access to life saving education and dispensing of Naloxone, the drug that can reverse an opiate overdose.
In Grey Bruce, death and injury have more than doubled from an average of 18 patients attending Owen Sound hospital from 2002-2007 to over 50 a year since 2008. An alarming increase in the use of the opioid fentanyl and overdose deaths related to fentanyl have sparked new worries about increased risks relating to higher potency and unfamiliarity with certain substances. Fentanyl is a very powerful synthetic opioid that is 100 times more potent than morphine.

Evalyn Parry brought the audience in the amphitheatre to their feet on the closing night of Summerfolk 40. Honouring the past by letting it speak to both the present and future, she says, "I believe that part of the definition of a “living tradition” is about challenge and change: to staying awake to how the old songs and stories change in relationship to our culture as it evolves, to challenging ourselves as artists (and audiences) to never be complacent in our thinking, but to keep asking the big questions. Thanks Summerfolk for letting me ask those big questions on your main stage."

Dear Prime Minister Harper,
I am all for solving long-lost mysteries and discovering things at the bottom of the ocean.
Since having had the chance to travel in the Arctic myself, for the past few years I have been following with interest – and skepticism – your quest to find the Franklin ships. I saw it as a strategic human-interest story, a sleight-of-hand to distract the public from your larger interests in the region: namely, mapping the ocean floor for resources and military purposes...
