D'Amato: Harmony Lunch had a timeless appeal - Waterloo Record

Waterloo Arena and then head to The Harmony to sip coffee with the City of Waterloo snowplow drivers." When she was a young girl, Katie Janower of Breslau used to come for lunch with her father after Saturday dance class. "While paying at the counter I would always get a box of pink elephant popcorn," she said. Mike Kovarik of Waterloo remembers how, at the beginning of every winter, his father would take his brother and him to get new hockey skates and go to Harmony for lunch. "My Dad always ordered us a burger with the works and we would sit up at the bar and watch them cook those delicious pork sliders and sauté those amazing onions," he said. "My son just turned three in August and we enrolled him in skating lessons, so I packed him up in the car, we went down and bought his first pair of skates, then went right to Harmony. "Even though I am sad that such a landmark and part of my childhood is closing, I am glad that I got to share a little part of that with my son." Harmony Lunch opened 86 years ago in 1930. And when you walk through those doors, even today, you can take a break from the breakneck speed of change. There's something comforting about that, said Waterloo Mayor Dave Jaworsky. "It's almost like a sense of going home when you go there," he said. "It speaks to such a simpler time. "You're watching your food being cooked right there. People are having a good time. You're not having anybody taking out their BlackBerrys." Kitchener-Waterloo is changing fast. Brand-new highrises grow like weeds, towering over the single-family homes. We're surrounded by virtual-reality game rooms, nanotechnology labs and vegetarian restaurants. Harmony Lunch doesn't fit in anymore. Yet that's what makes people hunger for it. It's a beacon of "things that don't change, in a changing world," sai...

At her home in Guelph, Ont., Moira Barber lays out one of the letters between her common-law husband, Albert (Manie) Daniels, and Spencer Kell, his old cellmate at Ontario's Maplehurst prison. Tijana Martin/The Globe and Mail When Spencer Kell got out of jail last spring, leaving his cellmate Manie Daniels behind, the two friends started exchanging letters. Mr. Daniels's, written in flowing cursive script, came to Mr. Kell in Ottawa, where he was trying to stay clean and build a new life. Mr. Kell's, in bold block letters, arrived at Maplehurst prison in Milton, Ont., where Mr. Daniels was serving out the final months of his latest stretch behind bars. Their brief correspondence shines a light on the dangers that former prisoners face in the midst of Canada's opioids crisis. Mr. Daniels's full name was Albert Joseph Daniels.
