Panovski murder trial enters third week By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen The trial of Boris Panovski, the man accused of murdering Don Frigo and attempting to murder Frigo's wife Eva Willer Frigo, was scheduled to enter its third week on Wednesday. Last week, George Lazarevski, a travel agent, was the fourth witness called at the Superior Court jury trial. Lazarevski told the court in Goderich that Panovski had only booked three trips with him his entire life, so he was surprised to hear from him the morning of Sept. 15, 2014, two days after Frigo was shot at the Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area, just south of Blyth. According to Jane Sims of the London Free Press, Panovski told Lazarevski that his sister in Macedonia wasn't feeling well, which is why he had to take the trip on such short notice. Huron County Crown Attorney Teresa Donnelly told the jury that she felt the murder came as a result of a long-standing grudge against Frigo, with whom he had field dog dealings in the past. Donnelly pointed to a 2005 newspaper report from Georgia that said Panovski had been accused of "pandering", which led to Frigo changing the name of a champion dog named Panovski Silver to Bellfield Silver. In the first two weeks of the trial, Local opens main street food cart business Adding to the food culture Sarah Cherrey recently opened her own hot dog and sausage cart which will primarily be located on Blyth's main street throughout the warmer months. (Denny Scott photo) Visitors to downtown Blyth may have discovered a new food option on the main drag with Cherrey's Dog House setting up shop in the municipal parking lot in front of Blyth Food Market. Run by Sarah Cherrey, the business offers hot dogs, sausages, drinks and snacks weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., usually at the southeast corner of the intersection of Queen and Drummond Street. Cherrey said the idea for the business venture came to her two years ago in the winter, shortly after moving to Blyth, but soon after she found work at the Queens Bakery on main street. "I decided that was a good place to get to know people and get an idea of how the restaurant industry works," she said. "I enjoyed working there, so I decided to stick it out." This year she decided it would be a good time to find herself a cart and start selling hot dogs and sausages. Aside from sourcing materials, EW, Blyth policing to remain status quo Continued from page 7 may be in the best interest for the whole of the municipality, and would also create a one -tier system across all wards. "We have the service, we can offer it," he said. Councillor Yolanda Ritsema- Teeninga reminded council that Seip's motion wasn't to change policing, but to consider alternatives. "It doesn't mean rates will go up," she said. "We need to look at the alternatives... all the options." She urged council to practise "a bit of open-mindedness" and look at what council could do to run the municipality more efficiently. Campbell retorted, saying he didn't believe that Wingham could match the service the OPP provides in Wingham and East Wawanosh as it would require two different tiers of service. Reeve Neil Vincent said that Blyth and East Wawanosh had declined the opportunity five years ago and that he didn't feel it was worth having staff analyzing any efficiencies that Seip or Ritsema-Teeninga said may become available through researching alternatives. After significant debate, Seip's motion to defer the study was put to a vote which appeared to have enough votes to pass, however Vincent felt further explanation was necessary, instead allowing explanation of the motion before calling a second vote. After the meeting, Vincent explained to The Citizen that he felt council members weren't clear on the question being asked, so he felt a second vote was in order. The second vote resulted in the motion being defeated, and, subsequently, Seip's goal of investigating the expansion of the Wingham Police Service was also laid to rest. Seip then reiterated his stance, saying that council was choosing to duplicate a service within North Huron's borders and send money outside of the municipality instead. getting the cart and figuring out where to position herself, Cherrey also had to get a license from North Huron to operate, a process she said was easy to navigate. "North Huron was awesome to work with," she said. "They were very precise in what they were looking for and wanted. Nothing they requested was out of line. The only thing they asked me to do was to try and be a good neighbour to the grocery store and talk to the owner to let him know I'm setting up" In the end, that minor request actually benefitted Cherrey who worked out a deal to offer the grocery store's in-house sausages as a special on Fridays. Dubbed Hakkers' sausages by Cherrey, the store -made vittles are made by Alicia Hakkers who was trained by Don Scrimgeour who perfected the recipe over decades before retiring from the grocery store business earlier this year. Cherrey explained that she chose to serve the fare she did because she didn't want to go head-to-head with any existing restaurants in the areas. "I chose only to do hot dogs and sausages, not hamburgers or even foot longs, because I know there are other restaurants in town that carry that," she said. "I didn't want to offer something similar to what other people have. I want to add to the food culture of Blyth, not take away from it." Aside from her spot in the municipal parking lot, Cherrey has moved her business around a little since opening earlier this year, including being at the Blyth Campground for the Barn Dance Jamboree and at Watson's Home Hardware over the weekend. "That was a fundraiser for the Blyth Lions," she said. "It was done in part with Home Hardware and was a part of the yard sale they held." Cherrey said the best way to track down the food cart, if it's not in its regular location, is to follow it on Facebook where she posts updates regularly. 130 exhibits have been presented, including tire impressions from the scene of the crime and crime scene photographs. The jury has also seen the alleged murder weapon, a Mossberg International Silver Reserve 20 -gauge shotgun. Panovski has pled not guilty to the charges. The trial was scheduled to continue Wednesday and has been estimated at a total length of between eight and 10 weeks.
