Raise the Hammer

Hi Yvonne, You may or may not have been in Hamilton when the traffic signal pattern at Aberdeen and Dundurn was changed. The columns dealing with this were written by then Spectator editor-in-chief Kirk Lapointe, a sometimes thin-skinned and a touch humorless person--but that's a different story.

Here's the list of his two main columns on the subject, and related letters to the editor (Spectator). This list is from the Spectator archive--database--that's available from the Hamilton Public Library's website, to any member of HPL, through their Online Resources blue tab at top of site.
