Bad blood boiled over in a game between the Hawkesbury Hawks and Gloucester Rangers at the Robert Hartley Sports Complex on Friday night, February 19.

The game featured 224 penalty minutes, including six fighting majors. Referee Erik Falardeau issued a total of 14 ten-minute misconducts, including one to Gloucester's Stephen Blunden for a hit from behind on Hawkesbury's Yanik Laliberté, which seemed to incite a riot on ice.

It's the type of news that any mother longs to hear.

For Diane Pouliot, it happened on an otherwise regular Monday afternoon, last November 23, when there suddenly came a phone call from her youngest son, Hugo, at her office.

"He says, 'Mom, did you hear the news? Ben's coming to Montreal,'" recalls the mother of three, reliving the moment over a cup of coffee last week. "Well, I start to scream and, while talking to him, my cell phone rings... and it's Benoit."

A farmhouse in East Hawkesbury was severely vandalized in recent months and spray-painted with the message, "Solar: not on prime farm land."

The farmhouse is on land purchased in mid-July by Solaris Energy Partners Inc., an Ottawa-based company which sold the property to a larger developer, Enfinity Canada, in September.

The damage, reported to Hawkesbury police by Enfinity on October 16, is estimated at more than $25,000.
