Artist Sculptor in house — lakefield leader photograph by sweir

Back when it was ok to paint your house pink. Andy’s house next to us. 1992. 111 Ontario Street (we were at 109) downtown Toronto

Picture for the Lakefield Leader. 1978 and 13 year old Bill Speed (Toronto hockey player) sells Maple Leaf coach a power play lottery ticket to raise money for the Ontario Hockey Association

Maple Leaf Coach Roger Neilson visits the Lakefield Lions Club to talk about hockey. Neilson is a Peterborough Country resident. Wasn’t allowed to use my flash – q’uelle domage

My Back Pages (cleaning out my files during the Pandemic). 45 years ago Joe Clark came to Peterborough to promote his leadership of the Conservative party to the local media. His wife Maureen McTeer was with him, but would not let me photograph her because she had just broken her arm and didn’t want to be pictured with a cast. As I remember she broke her arm in a wild Ferris Wheel ride at local fair. At the time I was the the editor/photographer for the Lakefield Leader

Joe Clark at the podium. 1974ish presser in Peterborough

One of a kind sweir business card

My Back Pages (cleaning out my attic files during the Pandemic). The day Dief the Chief came to town. Lakefield, Ontario. 45ish years ago. Believe it was a guest appearance by the former Prime Minister at the Lion’s Club luncheon. I remember I was fine $1 for not wearing a tie and swearing. Don’t know who he is talking to. I was the editor/photographer at the Lakefield Leader at the time.

New Orleans Mascot. The Name of a Drink. It is da Bomb! In New Orlean’ you can walk with an open container of booze, as long as it is made of plastic. The New Orleans Grenade is sold in take-out bars throughout the French Quarter. It comes in a tall long stem plastic container that has a bulb shaped like a Grenade. Smooth tasting, but, very very deadly – but no worries, only your head will explode.. This is how you make a Grenade.
1½ ounces gin.
1½ ounces grain alcohol.
1½ ounces melon liqueur.
1½ ounces vodka.
