William B. Bridgman (1878-1968) grew up in the Niagara Peninsula area of Ontario, Canada, where his family grew grapes, mainly Concords. He graduated from Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, with degrees in the arts and sciences and law. He landed in Sunnyside in 1902, following a rail tour of the Pacific Northwest, and began to practice law. He would serve twice as mayor of Sunnyside. Usin

Who is your hero? Answer that now please. Not easy is it?
Did you choose your favourite entertainer or sports person? Some may be deserving of that status, but many do not. A hero is someone admired or idealized for combating adversity through feats of ingenuity, courage, outstanding achievements or noble qualities. That is not to say singers or hockey stars don’t fight their way to the top of their fields, but they did that for themselves. Each of us, in our own lives, has gone through trials and tribulations to get where we are today. A true hero usually has gone to extraordinary lengths to better someone else’s life or the greater good of humanity, often sacrificing much in their own lives to do it and with no thought of any reward. How about Mother Teresa or Greta Thunberg?
