New digs
The Blyth Artisan Market found a new home at the Blyth Christian Reformed Church last
Thursday. Organizers felt the alley behind the Royal Canadian Legion and Memorial Hall was
stifling the event's growth. They say the new space is more visible. (Denny Scott photo)
Panovski pleads his innocence
With his defence now taking
centre stage, Boris Panovski, the
man accused of the first-degree
murder of Don Frigo, has had his say
on the witness stand.
On the stand, Panovski has said
there are periods of time following
the shooting of Don Frigo at the
Hullett Conservation Area where his
memory is a bit fuzzy. According to
reporting by Jane Sims of the
London Free Press and Kate Smith
of the Goderich Signal Star,
Panovski said he couldn't remember
if the police questioned him or not.
He then said further that he did talk
to the police, but said he was unable
to answer all of their questions.
He told Huron County Crown
Attorney Mike Murdock that he
spent the whole afternoon the day
Don and his wife Eva Willer Frigo
were shot, scouting goose and duck
hunting spots across the midwestern
portion of the province. He did say
that part of that trip was a stop near
the conservation area.
Within two days, Panovski had
flown to Macedonia and said he first
heard about Frigo's murder when his
son called him, informing him that
he was a suspect. He added that it
was his son's phone call, informing
him that he was a suspect, that made
him come back to Canada to prove
that he had nothing to hide.
He said that all of the actions that
followed the shooting, including
tinting the windows of his car, flying
to Macedonia, cancelling his
insurance and closing his bank
accounts were all within his rights as
choices to make.
While on the stand, Panovski
answered questions in English,
which came as a surprise to some
after he has used an interpretor for
previous weeks of the trial.
Testifying in his own defence,
Panovski has insisted that he is
innocent of the charges and that he
didn't kill Frigo.
The trial, which began with jury
selection on May 8, continues this
week. At its onset, it was expected
that the trial would last between
eight and 10 weeks.
Committee to contact user groups
Continued from page 1
that have slowly bled away over the
years like ringette, AAA
tournaments and some broomball
and girls hockey.
She agreed, with Fischer, saying
that a "Band-Aid" solution wouldn't
do anything to improve the centre's
reputation in the local hockey
community.
McArter also discussed the
importance of expanding the kitchen
at the centre. He said that the more
accommodating the kitchen, the
more likely that catering businesses
will be willing to come and that
large events could be held in the
auditorium.
The group talked about expanding
the kitchen into the current lobby
with the reconfiguration.
Committee members also
discussed the need to consult with
all of the user groups. With many
familiar with both construction and
hockey around the table, they
acknowledged the need to speak to
members of the figure skating club,
the curling club, the Brussels
Agricultural Society and various
service groups that have been known
to frequent the centre over the years.
Jacklin said it would make sense
to reach out to those groups for the
next meeting, which has yet to be
set, and involve them in the planning
process before they get too far down
the line.
Members also agreed that they
should have revamped plans from
Blake to bring to the user groups.
Then, once everyone has agreed on a
strategy going forward, hold another
public meeting to keep residents
informed on the progress of the
project as soon and as frequently as
possible.
McLellan said that keeping the
public informed along the way is
paramount to what the committee is
doing. Without the support of the
public, the project wouldn't have
any impact.
The group then toured the
community centre, discussing the
new plans as well as existing areas
that would need to be modernized as
part of the renovation.
An informal meeting of the
fundraising committee has been
scheduled for early next month.
Members of that committee include
Daniel Fritz, Olivia McArter, Deb
Seili, Roxanne Nicholson, Mary
Bernard and Recreation Committee
Chair Nicole Noble.
