Recently while sipping coffee at the Silver Bean, I noticed some dancing taking place and was curious to learn more. Turns out this group are part of the Peterborough Scottish Country Dance Society. They are resuming classes again for both experienced dancers and beginners starting in September. Check out their website for further details on how to join.

In May, the GPA EDC launched a new program entitled EPIC Ventures to recognize entrepeneurs in our local community. The winner each month will be chosen from your votes by visiting the Business Advisory Centre by the 20th of each month.
We recently had a chance to sit down with Don Vassiliadis, owner of Shish Kabob Hut, and the first winner of the EPIC Ventures program. Vassiliadis, a second generation owner of the restaurant, talked to us about how the business has flourished over the years and opportunities yet to come. The Shish Kabob Hut opened back in 1976 at the corner of Parkhill and Water, and several years later they moved to their current location at 220 King Street. They are thrilled to be celebrating their 35th year in business this year, and have branched into both a catering and party rentals business—making them an all inclusive establishment for any of your dining needs.
An active member in the community, Vassiliadis takes every opportunity to have his restaurant participate in local events happening in the area. You may have spotted him recently at the DBIA's Ribfest and Fiesta Buckhorn. An upcoming event he has Shish Kabob Hut participating in is the 100 Mile Dinner presented by the Peterborough Agricultural Society (August 7th at 6 p.m.), which will have local food and area chefs preparing the meal. Tickets can be purchased for $30 from Don at the restaurant, as he is helping co-ordinate the event along with Rural Routes, the Peterborough Farmers' Market and the GPA EDC office.
Also, stay tuned in the Fall when Shish Kabob Hut will be featured on The Food Network's new show, You Gotta Eat Here!. (Peterborough's Reggie's will also be featured on an upcoming show.)
Shish Kabob Hours: Monday - Closed, Tuesday/Wednesday 11:30 a.m. - 8 p.m., Thursday/Friday 11:30 a.m. - 9 p.m., Saturday 4 p.m. - 9 p.m., Sunday - Closed. Click here to view menu, take-out is also available.

From a Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service Media Release today...
Police have been contacted by Community Agencies in the City as well as sources that are involved in the use of cocaine or close to people using cocaine. Police are being told that at least 8 persons have become ill in the past few weeks after using cocaine and there is a possibility that two persons have succumbed to the illness. At this time Police have not been able to confirm a link between cocaine purchased in our area and the illness but we are concerned and if there is a link established any media release will likely come from our partners at the Public Health Unit. They are aware of our concerns and are doing an investigation into this. In the meantime anyone involved in the use of cocaine in any form needs to be aware of this information and take the proper action. It should be noted that we have seen Levamisole in cocaine in Peterborough in the past. The concern with this common cutting agent is that it can suppress the immune system and in that case people can become very sick from various infections there bodies cannot fight. Levamisole is used by veteranarians as a dewormer and we are not sure at this time the exact reason Traffickers of cocaine use it as a cutting agent. We have received information on people who are involved in trafficking tainted cocaine and have made a recent arrest. The cocaine seized is being taken to Health Canada in order to be tested for any harmful additives.
