Sebastian Bach Comes Home To Peterborough And Eats At Riley's, Hot Belly Mama's... and Harvey's (And *Update*: Gets Arrested)

So if you thought you'd just been spotting Sebastian Bach lookalikes all over the Patch, well, you may well have... but it might also have been the real Sebastian Bach.

Habitat for Humanity Ceremony This Friday To Mark Completion of Three New Homes For Peterborough Families

Peterborough's Habitat for Humanity chapter started here back in 2002 and since then, with the help of many volunteers and the community's help, this non-profit organization has given many families a secure and safe home to be proud of and to know they were part of building their very own home. Just recently, Habitat has completed three homes on Towerhill Road with the help of Fleming's Sustainable Building Program, the Peterborough Professional Firefighters Association and community volunteers.
 


This Friday (October 22nd), there will be a dedication and celebration ceremony at 1 p.m. at 288 Towerhill Road to honour the accomplishment and the completion of these homes. It's an opportunity to meet the families and people of the community that in some way contributed to this wonderful cause.

If you are interested in becoming involved with Habitat, click here for more info. —Julie Morris, PtboCanada contributor

PtboPics: The Sadies, Andy Maize of Skydiggers and Devin Cuddy (Jim's son) at Gordon Best Theatre

Last night, Gordon Best Theatre (above the Only Café) was closed down for a private party and PtboCanada was there. Among the bands performing to the packed crowd were Peterborough's Magpie, The Sadies (first pic below) and Andy Maize of Skydiggers (second pic below, standing, far left on mic), who performed a stripped down set of songs, including "I Will Give You Everything". Alongside Andy on guitar was none other than Devin Cuddy (second and third pic below), the son of Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy. It was quite a night.

Spotlight: New Shop Chasing the Cheese Is A Cheesy Delight

Chasing the Cheese is a new cheese shop that recently opened up in Peterborough at 372 Water Street. Julie Austin started the business from her home with select artisan cheeses that were outside of the norm, but felt that to take things to the next level she needed to open her own store downtown.

Julie's cheese selection—and clientele—had been flourishing for a couple years before she decided to open the store on Water Street. Initially, it was a cheesemaking course that sparked her curiosity about all things cheese, and she found that even though there are basically only four basic ingredients in cheese, there are hundreds of outcomes. Presently her shop carries numerous kinds: Thunder Oak Gouda, Salt Spring Fresh Chevre and Maple Dale 7yr Cheddar, to name a few. Most of the cheeses are local or Made in Canada.

Sampling the various cheeses is a real pleasure, whether it's the unique taste or the way it dissolves on your tongue. Pop in today for a sampling, and let your senses guide you to a cheese that you wouldn't be able to find in your local grocery store.

 Julie proudly shows off one of her cheese samples

 

Chasing the Cheese has the following hours:

Tue & Wed: 11 to 5

Thu & Fri: 11 to 7

Sat: 10 to 5

Sun & Mon: Closed
