Farewell to Kris Kristofferson apnews.com/article/kris-kris…
I don’t know yet what the future will bring but one thing I am certain of is they took my journo job but no one can take the respect people have for me. And for that I am truly so very grateful - thanks to all for all the support.

On Aug. 31, International Overdose Awareness Day, my son Jacob & I are releasing our film project: NO FAMILY IS IMMUNE. It tells the story of my son Justin who died after a 7-year battle with addiction. He was 21.
Justin always wanted his experience to help others. We are being his voice.

This is Stella Ellis. She’s worked in the printing plant for 39 years, ever since she was 15. She hopes a buyer will come forward to keep the print side of operations running, as they weren’t a part of the Postmedia purchase of The Telegram. “All we have is hope,” she said.
