Bradley Skeete talks to Matt Bozeat about renting a house from Billy Joe Saunders as he relocates in Sheffield, where two Fightzone cards take place this weekend
A CBC investigation in 2018 and subsequent podcast The Band Played On uncovered more than 50 victims and unravelled mysteries behind years of allegations. It led to more victims coming forward, including Hilkes, and more prison time for Clarke, who served about 18 months in a federal institution.
Clarke s ex-wife, and several doctors and nurses who were involved in his treatment at the Royal in the 1970s, are also named as defendants in the six lawsuits. I believe that the hospital knew what was happening. The school board knew.. They need to step up, be accountable, said Hilkes. All of this could have been handled if someone had the courage to come forward.
However, when the country shut down last March, the boulevard was anything but bustling.
“It’s been tough times, to be honest,” says Alex Variu, manager of Gran Forno.
Gran Forno kept their store front open throughout the pandemic, removing seating while ramping up take out and trying to comply with all the other requirements.
“It’s been tough, the store has been open, we’ve tried to keep it open because there was no supply of bread in the chain stores and we tried to help everybody out as much as possible,” says Variu.
Marc Leach, a pharmacist and owner of The Chemist can relate as it has been a Las Olas staple for 16 years.

Months after much of the former MacMurray College campus was sold at auction, some of the plans for the closed school are starting to come into focus.Journal-Courier
More plans are in the works for the buildings that were recently sold on the former MacMurray College campus, as the new owners take over responsibility for their purchases.
The MacMurray College Board of Trustees received just over $1.5 million from the auction of the 18 parcels last year following the school’s closing.
Since then, several of the buildings have found purpose for their new owners, while others are being developed or in the process of being discussed for zoning by the Jacksonville City Council.
