This month, we at Fix are focussed on lots of things: nice beach weather, countless concerts from local and out-of-town indie bands and Bay-fest! This month, we’ve put together lots of inter-esting info about our Bayfest performers, we’ve interviewed one of our favourite local bands who you’ll see on the Bayfest stage and we’ve provided you with a big section of drink recipes (both alco-holic and non) to keep you cool in the sunshine. We hope you enjoy reading up on everything. But we also hope you pay close attention to a couple of pages in this month’s Fix - a centre two-page spread and our back cover spot. We are very focussed this month on something that you’ll see all over town - the media blitz to try to find Karen Caughlin’s murderer. Posters in-cluded in the magazine detail everything we know about the case and a video will be posted soon in attempts to raise awareness and find out who the individual(s) are who are responsible for ending this 14-year-old’s life some 36 years ago. You’ll see billboards along several of Sarnia’s major streets and posters will be broadcast on the bigscreens at Bayfest. Please take a few minutes to read up on Karen’s case. A heavy way to end a summer editor’s note but this is by far more important than any-thing I could write about having fun on the beach...and you know lots about that anyways.

Attic Books first presents itself as a simple storefront similar to those surrounding it but to get the full effect, you must look up - way up. Three floors of antiquarian and secondhand books, catalogues, maps and prints, paper collectibles and antiques, book ends, journals and postcards make their happy homes on the Attic shelves to the delight of shop patrons. The charm of beautiful hardwood floors and the original and ornate tin roof with the very informative staff make it worth the trek to downtown London. Some very neat finds in Attic: the old-fashioned elevator from the 1880s/early 1900s, tin ceilings, the resident gargoyle and the Nuremburg Chronicle - the most unique book in their collec-tion dating back to 1493 and valued at $90,000. The store also houses the Thesaurus Antiquitatum Romanarum, called The Edinburgh Set. The 12 volume history of the Roman Empire rested in the Edinburgh Universi-ty Library for 200 years and contains more plates than any other known copy. Attic Books buys collec-tions and individual items. Appraisal services is also available by appointment. Summer hours are Monday to Saturday from 10:00am to 5:30pm and Friday from 10:00am to 9:00pm. At-tic Books is located at 240 Dundas Street, London, Ontario. Visit them online at www.atticbooks.ca.

juniper books Have you ever wished for a house full of books? If you have, then you should either start stocking up on slev-ing units or make your way to Juniper Books because it is quite literally just that - a house full of books. The home on Windsor’s Ottawa Street is filled to the rafters

with beautiful old editions and some new ones as well. The shop also boasts an extensive collection of works by local authors on topics ranging from true crime to poetry and photography. This section is a must-see for any history-buff wanting to brush up on past and present news from an area rich with historic appeal. Opened five years ago by aptly-named proprietor Roger Wurdmann, the original employees were Wurdemann and his mother. The shop now has four employees and is enjoying much recent success. Wurdemann, who

opened the store when his wife decided she’d like her house back from the thousands of volumes of books that were taking up much of the prime living space, prides himself in only selecting the best for his store. Juniper’s knowledgeable staff chatted with this writer for quite some time about the volumes that lined the shelves. Staff were a wealth of informa-tion about both past and current stock. In the converted but not-so-converted house (the kitchen is still home to a sink and stove) resides floors of books and in each room, a different genre. The kitchen has cupboards full of every cookbook you can imagine. A child’s room wth a window seat is filled with children’s books and is complete with a small bench for wee ones to sit on for story time and a stuffed Winnie the Pooh which no youngster’s room should be without. Beautiful prints line the walls and a few carefully scattered editions grace the steps leading upstairs - a preview for shoppers of what’s to come on the top floor. Juniper Books is located at 1990 Ottawa Street in Windsor, Ontario. Store hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10:30am to 5:30pm and Sunday from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. You can visit them online at www.juniperbooks.ca

the bookstore in petrolia The Bookstore in Petrolia is Lambton’s newest used book shop. Located right on Petrolia Line, the store boasts over 10,000 used books and a few new ones as well. The store opened its doors to the public in April of this year by Jim and Sherry Teed. Their passion for books is evident as you browse through the selection they carry. Classics, children’s books, staff pics and an extensive collction of both fiction and non prove to keep shoppers occupied for hours searching for titles and flipping through novels. The store’s front room is packed to capacity while the back room is just starting to fill up. For a new bookstore, their shelves are certainly filling up quickly but there is a lot of room for this store to grow with their back room about half-full at the time of this writer’s visit. The shop is also home to a selection of artwork by local artists. Walls are lined with paintings and drawings that are all for sale and quite reasonably priced. The Bookstore in Petro-lia is open Monday to Saturday from 9:00am to 9:00pm and Sunday from 12:00 to 8:00pm. Contact them by phone at 519-882-0909 or visit them online at www.thebook-storepetrolia.com.

REVIEWS

New Sarnia resident and Artwalk favourite Jerry Moody brings us an album self-titled Moody. This CD consists of home and live-recordings through for the most part, you’d never know it as the sound quality is decent throughout compared to other albums recorded this way. Jerry’s voice has a very Neil Young flavour and topics covered on the disc suggest to listeners that the artist is a hippy-at-heart. The album comes with a lovely booklet made by the musician. Each spread in the book features the typed song lyrics and on the facing page, a brief, hand-written description of where Jerry was when he wrote the piece, inspirations and sometimes the author tells about the person he wrote the lyrics for. This is definitely an album for the summertime and is great for drives in the car. Pick it up - you won’t be disappointed. You can sometimes hear Jerry at various local venues or you might catch him jamming with Mike Blackmore in downtown Sarnia.

Hello BellaRead more in this issue for a feature on Hello Bella, this month’s cover story. Thanks to LSmith Photography for the photo.

My name is Karen Caughlin and I was 14 when I was beaten and murdered 36 years ago. I was left in a shallow ditch on Plow-ing Match Road just outside of Petrolia. My coat and shoes were found in a pile of branches near the spot where you left my body and a passing motorist found my purse on Highway 21 -- about five kilometres from where I lay. An autopsy performed confirmed that internal hemor-rhaging was the cause of my death and that my injuries were consistent with those of someone who had been run over by a car. Maybe you didn’t do this to me on purpose. Maybe this was an accident and you got scared and didn’t feel you had any other choice but to do what you did. But you did this. You murdered me. You took my life when I had so much opportunity

ahead of me. You stole me from my fam-ily and went on living your life with yours. You’ve had 36 years that I’ve not. On May 31 of this year, I would have been 51 years old. Would have. It’s time to give my fam-ily the closure they need; they have suffered long enough. Please come forward with the truth. Please let my brothers and sisters sleep soundly and not go on for one more night with the sadness in their hearts that has come from not knowing who did this to me. My parents died not knowing who you are; please don’t let my brothers and sisters suffer that same fate. This could have easily been your mother, your sister, your daugh-ter. Wouldn’t you want to know the truth? Please come forward. Please let me rest in peace.

There is a $50,000 reward for information leading to the capture of my killer(s).

JUSTICE FOR KAREN

I was at Rose Garden Roller Rink with my friends and at around 1:00am on March 16, 1974, I was dropped off at a girlfriend’s house on Brock

Street in Sarnia but I never made it inside. The police know that my killer(s) drove a 1970-1971 purple Chrysler high-performance vehicle with factory paint known as “plum crazy”

purple similar to the photos below. Do you remember anyone who owned a similar vehicle?

Even if you think it’s insignificant and that no one you know could possibly have committed this act, call in a tip.

It could help catch my killer(s).

Fix had the chance to chat with frontwoman Stephanie Poort of Hello Bella. Hello Bella is opening for the Black Eyed Peas at this year’s Bayfest with Down With Webster, Art of Fresh and Sarnia/London favourite Wild Domestic. Here’s how our interview went:

Fix: Can you tell us a bit about the road to bay-Fest? how did the band Feel when they learned they would be opening For the peas?

hello bella’s stephanie poort (sp): It's been an amazing journey to get this far. When we heard about the Battle to Bayfest we thought for sure we would be interested in trying but none of us expected it would lead to such an amazing opportunity! The Black Eyed Peas are definately one of our influences and one of my favourite bands. I actually saw them in concert a few

hello bellahello bellayears back and never dreamed that we would be opening for them one day! It's mind boggling.

Fix: Can you share some other suCCesses oF hb with us? (For example, any battle oF the bands wins, Features in publiCations or on tv, radio play, etC.)

SP: I think this has been an amazing year thus far for Hello Bella. One of the recent opportunities we had was to be selected to play a live set in front of the Much Music Disband judges and film crew back in May. The feedback we received from the panel was great and inspired us to keep pushing and pushing. We have just come so far and we are seeing ourselves grow musically as well as the opportunities that are coming our way. In terms of the support from local media affiliates, we have been blown away by the sup-port we have been given. To name a few, we

LSmith Photography

have to definitely credit Blackburn Radio, Cogeco TV, The Observer and Petrolia Topic and yours truly Fix Magazine for all the publicity we have been given. It's great to see the local community supporting local music!

Fix: we heard all about your house being lost in a Fire tragiCally a week ago. Can you tell us what happened with the Fire and what equipment was lost? what does this mean For hello bella?

SP: It’s been a hard past week for the band as we lost our home in a fire last Wednesday. I was awoken at approx 3:30am and saw the bright blaze outside my bedroom window. The cause was officially deemed inconclusive by the Fire Marshall but it had started on the back porch and made its way through the back of the house where our bathroom, kitchen and band room was. We managed to salvage some of our items but a lot of equipment was either ruined by the actual fire or smoke damage. Some of the items were some drum kit pieces, my keyboard, guitar stands, amps…etc.We have slowly been picking up the pieces. I was able to replace my keyboard right away thanks to Picker’s Alley and having tenants insurance! We are very fortunate to be alive and have to put out a ma-jor thank-you to everyone who has reached out to us and offered a helping hand.

Fix: who is organizing your Fundraiser and who is playing at the show?

SP: We heard recently that a fundraiser is being put together to raise some money to help us out with replacing some equipment. Steve Woll of Wyoming is

putting this event together and it will be held at the Wyoming Fairgrounds on July 7 and will be-gin at 5:30PM. I have been told that some of the bands that will be contributing are OHNYNE,Matt Weed, Chris Tyzinsky, July (from Brampton Ont), Subsidoria, David Cavan Fraser, Amanda Joy Mentley and Kesenia Parent, Brodie Ger-main Project, Kirk Ramsay , Lucas Roberts and my awesome little brother Tyler Poort. Once again iit’s an amazing feeling to know that you have a community of people behind you to be an arm of support in times like these. We want to officially thank Steve and everyone who is a part of this from the bottom of our hearts. It was never expected and we will never forget how everyone came to support us in this unfortunate circumstance.

Fix: what are hb’s plans aFter bayFest? any other summer shows Coming up or new songs in the works?

SP: Bayfest is coming up very soon and we are so excited. We have also been in the works of re-cording our new album. We have been at DNA Studios since February of this year working along with producer Adam Miner and can’t wait to show everyone the final product. It’s amazing to see your music come to life in the process and we are hoping for a fall release. We also have a

bunch of festivals coming up in July including the Waterloo Canada Day events, the Timmins Ribest as well as the London Ribfest.

Fix: thanks so muCh, stephanie. we Can’t wait to hear you at bayFest!

Alter Boyzat the Victoria Playhouse Petrolia

“Raise the Praise” and let the Altar Boyz rock your soul at Victoria Playhouse Petrolia June 29 through July 10 in this smash hit musical comedy about a boy-band from the 80’s on a musical mission to save the world! After three hugely successful years Off Broadway, a National U.S. tour, and countless international produc-tions, Altar Boyz, the award-winning musical comedy

that rocked Toronto with the An-gelwalk Theatre production is here. Altar Boyz is the joyful story of five small-town boys, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan, and Abraham (he’s Jewish), on the final leg of their soul-saving “Raise the Praise” tour. Armed with a “Soul Sensor DX-12,” sensational singing, and spectacular dance moves to rival the likes of ‘N Sync, New Kids On The Block, and the Backstreet Boys, the Altar Boyz will wash any weary soul clean with laughter, and rock the masses of all denominations. “Altar Boyz is an absolutely enter-taining play in a pop concert setting that is loaded with infectious energy, good natured humour, wonderful music, great voices, and dynamic cho-reography,” says Victoria Playhouse Petrolia Artistic Director, Robert More. “Altar Boyz is not a satire of Chris-tian values at all. The premise of a boy-band on tour to save souls is simply the foundation for the en-tertainment of the show which has been a runaway hit everywhere it has played.” A production of Angelwalk Theatre in Toronto, Altar Boyz has recently been nominated for a number of Dora Awards including Choreography, Outstanding Production, and for cast member Jeigh Madjus, Outstanding Performance.

With book by Kevin Del Aguila, music and lyrics by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walter, as conceived by Marc Kessler and Ken Dav-enport, the Angelwalk Theatre production of Altar Boyz is produced by Brian Goldenberg, directed and choreographed by Tim French, musical direction is by Michael Lerner, lighting design by Davida Tkach, costume design by Alex Amini and stage management

Lani Martel and Jennifer Shaw. The cast for Altar Boyz stars Ken Chamberland as Matthew, Aidan deSalaiz as Juan, Jeigh Madjus as Mark, Eric Morin as Luke, and Stephen Roberts as Abraham. “The cast of Altar Boyz is made up of five remark-

ably talented young men,” declares More. “Great voices, sensational dancers with all the right moves, terrific actors, and the good looks necessary for any 80’s boy-band. It’s easy to see why this show has been winning awards wherever it plays. It’s great fun and hugely entertaining.”
