Summer Homick, ice dance partner Nicholas Buelow qualify for ISU Junior Worlds JEFF TRIBE Post Correspondent
As Summer Homick looked ahead to the ice dance competition at the 2026 ISU Junior Figure Skating Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, she looked back on the humblest of beginnings in the Langton Arena. For her first carnival, a three-year-old Homick was dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast, wearing both a yellow dress and hockey headgear. “I don’t think it was safe enough to be on the ice without a helmet,” she laughed. “I don’t know if that little girl could see where I am now if she’d even believe it. “It kind of feels surreal.” Homick and partner Nicholas Buelow effectively qualified for world juniors with a personal best 157.78-point silver medal performance at Canadian championships, completed Wednesday, Jan. 7 at Centre Slush Puppie in Gatineau, Quebec. “It’s pretty position-based at nationals,” said Buelow, pleased with subsequent confirmation they will be joining gold medallists Layla Veillon and Alexander Brandys in Estonia, earning the second of two berths. Charlie Anderson and Cayden Dawson finished with bronze medals and a score of 146.31. CONTINUED TO PAGE 12

Volunteer Cathy Palmer was serving fish at the Tillsonburg Shrine Club’s annual fish fry and elimination draw on Jan. 16. The event raised more than $25,000, with 227 people enjoying a feed of fish. The elimination draw was sold out, and Terry Willaert was the winner of the $20,000 prize. Proceeds from the event will be put towards the new Shriners Rare Bone Disease Clinic at London Health Sciences Centre.
