The Other Notebook
by David Helwig
Conrad Black’s release from prison in July, on bail while parts of the case against him are reconsidered, quickly became news. It was the CBC that called my attention to the column he wrote about his release, and I was able to find it on the Internet. He still, obviously, regards himself as an innocent man railroaded by the feverish and rancorous assault of American prosecutors. After his release he drew attention by a sharp attack on the American justice system.

| The Charlottetown-based Acorn Press, which has been publishing books about Prince Edward Island by Prince Edward Islanders since 1994, has a new owner, Terilee Bulger, as of August 5, says current owner Laurie Brinklow. “I'm delighted to be handing over the Press to Terrilee Bulger.

I couldn’t be happier that Islanders’ voices and stories will continue to be heard through Island-published books.”
