"CPR Campbellville"

A westbound CP Rail extra crawls through Campbellville. Ontario and it looks like some recent sidedump activity along the mainline to beef up that shoreline - June 2, 1979.

No GO by Don Kalkman Via Flickr: GO Transit referred to these former FP7s as Auxiliary Power-Control Units, or APCU's. They were sitting out the weekend at Guelph Junction in Campbellville.

The 911 was built for the MILW and scrapped in 1995. The 903 was former Ontario Northland and it too was scrapped in 1995.

The 904 is also former Ontario Northland and was a bit more fortunate and was sold to Tri-Rail Florida in 1991. It was then sent to the Gold Coast Railroad Museum where it sits and rots in the Florida sun.

"Resident of Campbellville district all his life, James Johnston, 38-year-old colored pioneer settler, is the proud possessor of a yoke of oxen which he considers provides the cheapest way of farming. While the animals are slow, they are particularly adapted to working in the rough country thereabouts, in the stoney soil. Mr. Johnston has exhibited the team in many different parts of the province, Including Fergus, Galt, Toronto, Guelph, Hamilton, Peterboro, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. At one time there was a fairly large settlement where he lives, a mile and a half from Campbellville, the majority of the colored settlers who set up homes there having run away from the United States."

Excerpt from this story from the LA Times:

A litter of Rottweiler puppies and their mother were saved from a fiery death in the Park fire thanks to a determined member of the Butte County Sheriff’s Office, officials said.

The rescue is one of the few silver linings to the Park fire in Northern California. The blaze had burned almost 390,000 acres as of Wednesday morning and was still only 18% contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The dogs, two adult Rottweilers and their four puppies, were left in a truck that had broken down on the side of the road, left behind by residents who were evacuating the blaze near Campbellville in Butte County, the Sheriff’s Office said.

The truck’s owner was not able to take the dogs, but provided the location of the vehicle to the Sheriff’s Office. Because of the fire, rescuers could not immediately get to the dogs’ location.

On Saturday, days after the dogs were abandoned, Trevor Skaggs, a member of the sheriff’s search-and-rescue team, flew to the area in a helicopter to find the dogs.

After landing, Skaggs ran more than a mile to the location where the dogs were reported to be. Though the adult male Rottweiler had died, Skaggs found the mother and puppies still alive in the truck — “tired and very thirsty” — according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Skaggs’ wife, Christina, told the San Jose Mercury News that Skaggs is a vegan and ultra marathoner and that he ran from the helicopter to where the dogs were. Skaggs was familiar with Rottweilers because his first dog was a Rottweiler, she said.

Once he found the dogs, Skaggs sang to them and was able to persuade the mother, and then the puppies, to trust him, his wife said.

Skaggs gave the animals water and fed them a few bites of his granola bar and then got the animals to follow him back more than a mile to the helicopter.

Video provided by the Sheriff’s Office shows the puppies and the mother trailing behind Skaggs as he led them back to the helicopter.

Bruce Campbell is the finest man to grace a silver screen

All the other actors just degrade his noble scenes

The Oscars should award him for his wondrous career

Hold a town parade for him with each movie premiere

Bruce Campbell! Bruce Campbell!

We're gonna be best friends!

Gonna come to your house and watch Hercules

From season one till the end

I'll hand you everything I own

And you'll sign it all for me!

Then we'll start rehearsing for Cave Alien 3

Bruce Lorne Campbell should be offered every lead!

Imagine him as Spider-Man, a finer choice indeed

Casablanca could've been improved if Campbell would've said,

"Here's looking at you...you primitive screwhead!"

Bruce Campbell! Bruce Campbell!

Dert dert da dert dert dert

Gonna come to your house

And put Xena and not sleep until it's done

I got the whole boxset for Briscoe County, too

I love you and to prove it's true

I'm gonna play a kazoo

Bruce Ash Campbell is a truly stellar man

He bravely fought the Deadites

But a chainsaw took his hand

Coincidentally, I have one I barely ever use

I'll saw it off and ship it to the charming, handsome Bruce

Bruce Campbell! Bruce Campbell!

I need the measurements for your chin!

Gonna make me a jawbone implant

And I'm gonna be your twin

Then I'll get me a tattoo of your face

And put it right on my....face

Then we'll fly into outer space and....

Hey Bruce, where are you going?

Bruce Campbell (gonna find you!)

You can't hide from me!

I found your house on Google Maps

And just watched you go pee!

When I find you, I'm gonna clone you

Take your DNA against your will

I'll make 8,000 Bruce Campbells

To build a Bruce Campbellville

Bruce-Campbell-ville!

Bruce!

Olga Aleksándrovna Románova (О́льга Алекса́ндровна Рома́нова; 1882-1960) fue la última hija del emperador Alejandro III de Rusia y la emperatriz María Fiódorovna Románova (Dagmar de Dinamarca) y hermana menor, por tanto, del emperador Nicolás II.

Criada en el palacio de Gátchina, a las afueras de San Petersburgo, tuvo desde pequeña una relación más cercana con su padre que con su madre. Tenía doce años cuando su padre murió y su hermano Nicolás fue coronado soberano de Rusia. En 1901, con diecinueve años, se casó con el duque Pedro Alexándrovich de Oldemburgo, a quien su familia y amigos murmuraban en privado que era homosexual. El matrimonio duró quince años y no se consumó; ambos llevaron vidas separadas. Al principio, su esposo rechazó su solicitud de divorcio, pero finalmente el matrimonio fue anulado por el emperador en 1916. Al mes siguiente, se casó con el coronel Nikolái Kulikovski, su amante de varios años atrás. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, sirvió como enfermera del ejército y le fue concedida una medalla al mérito personal. Con la caída de los Románov en la Revolución rusa de 1917, huyó con su marido e hijos a Crimea, donde vivieron bajo amenazas de muerte. Su hermano Nicolás y su familia fueron asesinados por los revolucionarios.

Junto a su familia lograron huir de Rusia en febrero de 1920 y se reunieron con su madre, la emperatriz viuda, en Dinamarca. En el exilio, actuó como compañera y secretaria personal de su madre, reuniéndose muchas veces con los impostores Románov que afirmaban ser sus parientes muertos. En 1925 conoció a Anna Anderson, la impostora más conocida, quien afirmaba ser su sobrina la gran duquesa Anastasia. Después de la muerte de la emperatriz viuda en 1928, Olga y su marido compraron una granja en Ballerup, cerca de Copenhague. Allí llevó una vida sencilla: criar a sus dos hijos, trabajar en la granja y pintar. Durante su vida, realizó más de 2000 obras de arte, que proporcionaron ingresos adicionales tanto para su familia como para las causas caritativas que ella apoyaba.

En 1948, sintiéndose amenazada por el régimen de Stalin, ella y su familia emigraron a una granja en Campbellville (Ontario)). A su avanzada edad, se trasladó con su esposo a un bungaló cerca de Cooksville (Ontario). Kulikovski falleció en 1958. Dos años más tarde, mientras su salud se deterioraba, se mudó con unos amigos a un pequeño apartamento en el este de Toronto. Murió a los setenta y ocho años, siete meses después de su hermana mayor Xenia. Al final de su vida y después, era conocida como la última gran duquesa del Imperio ruso.

Somebody in Campbellville, Ontario, hiding behind a PO box, sent an American magazine absolutely full of anti-LGBTQ and specifically anti-trans rhetoric to the Mental Health Outpatient Department at The Ottawa Hospital, addressed for the waiting room.

If you thought this type of shit didn't happen in Canada, yes it absolutely does.

"STOLEN TORCH OPENS SAFE TO $500 THEFT," Toronto Star. June 1, 1943. Page 8. ---- Old Stove Pipe Hole Used By Burglars To Enter Building ---- Milton, June 1 - After stealing an acetylene torch from a nearby garage, thieves entered the office of the King Calcium Products, Campbellville, and using the torch to cut open the safe stole $500 in Victory bonds and $35 cash this morning, police said.

They gained admittance to Early's garage by forcing a lock, officers reported. From there they took the acetylene torch and proceeded to the office of the King Calcium Products across the road. They made entry by opening an old stovepipe hole in the roof and cutting a hole in the ceiling to lower themselves into the building. After cutting a hole in a large safe with the torch, they made away with registered Victory bonds valued at $500, and $35 cash.

Not satisfied with this haul, they forced the lock on a refreshment booth adjoining Larly's garage where they stole a quantity of cigarettes and tobacco valued at $50, Provincial Constable John Reavley stated.
