Year recap includes 10th birthday for 104.7 FM -- Heart FM
By

Instead
of compiling a top of 2016 list, I have decided to submit a list of my favourite
or most important blog entries of this year.
There
are many year-end charts – top movies, local news stories, top music downloads,
best teams and athletes, and certainly most significant world news stories.
The
cartoon movie Trolls will not be on any critics list as top pictures of the
year, but the movie’s song Can’t Stop This Feeling will be listed by many as
the top song as Justin Timberlake had everyone dancing in the aisles with that
tune.
Folks
will remember the Summer Olympics, the Blue Jays playoff run. London Knights
winning the Memorial Cup, and the many famous deaths of 2016 – Muhammad Ali, Gordie
Howe, Arnold Palmer, Prince, Glenn Frey, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, George
Michael, Maurice White, Greg Lake, Keith Emerson, Paul Kantner, Merle Haggard, Pete
Burns, George Martin, Morley Safer, Alan Thicke, Garry Shandling, Gene Wilder, Florence
Henderson, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Doris Roberts, Alan Rickman, Abe Vigoda, Carrie
Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, and if you love the movie Field Of Dreams we also
lost Canadian writer WP Kinsella.
In Woodstock, we lost many great people, including one of my long-time friends in Bill Gillespie. He was truly a great man -- athlete, organizer, volunteer, knowledgeable, motivator, and Lions Club member.
I consider myself a community-minded person striving to put Woodstock first.
