Nighttime

What started with photos, showing a high school teacher wearing very large prosthetic breasts, going viral online quickly evolved into international news coverage and now, like seemingly every hot topic that affects society, has devolved into disorganized protesting and public gatherings. Trafalgar High School has become the venue for protestors who are against all sorts of things, the wood shop teacher’s form of gender expression included. Fortunately for interested Nighttime listeners, we have a friend who went there and documented it all. We first heard from Toronto based lawyer and guerilla journalist Caryma S'ad during our series covering Queen Romana's Siege of the Peterborough Police Station. She graciously agreed to join us again, this time to discuss the Oakville Trafalgar High School Protest and the very large breasts at the heart of it.

Would you believe me if I told you that a Canadian mental health hospital was conducting cruel experiments on patients, using LSD, rape, embarrassment and torture as recently as the 1980s?

Dale Rancourt is a former children’s entertainer and registered sex offender who is known widely as the disgraced ‘Klutzy the Clown’, As you heard in my prior episode while researching Rancourt's life and crime I referenced a documentary film (Big Shoes) about him, produced several years before his arrest. As you may have expected, the film really didn't age well and not because of any creative of technical decisions Michael or Adrienne made but because it leaves out the topic that dominates any discussion about Dale Klutzy the Clown Rancourt.. the sexual offences against a child that occurred in the years after the films release. After watching the film I was interested to hear how the filmmakers have dealt with such a spoiled creation and that’s exactly what we will get into in this episode. In this episode of Nighttime we will be joined by Michael Fraiman and Adrian Lee and our topic is the disturbing story of Dale ' Klutzy ' Rancourt... and their documentary that really didn't age well.

For a period spanning a little more than a decade you would have been hard pressed to find a Cape Bretoner unfamiliar with Dale Rancourt and his character Klutzy the Clown. He was both a children and adult entertainer bouncing his way between birthday party's, old folks homes, and public events being a not an especially good performer. He certainly wasn't universally respected, but somehow he managed to find a place for Klutzy the clown in Cape Breton's entertainment economy, but it's all gone now. Dale 'Klutzy the clown' Rancourt broke a few of the most rules society places on those we allow near our children. Over the course of a multi part series, I'll be unpacking the disturbing story of the disgraced Dale ‘Klutzy the Clown’ Rancourt.

Andrew's story, and his sister Nicole's advocacy for him have been pulled into the headlines several times since her last appearance on Nighttime. Her families battle for accountability took a big step forward, as a lawsuit against the provincial government has been announced but also, the battle got ugly.

In this episode of nighttime, we will again be joined by Nicole Gnazdowsky to discuss the quest for accountability related to the death of her brother Andrew.

London, Ontario - Oct 13, 1983 17-year-old Donna-Jean Awcock was babysitting a neighbour's child in the apartment building next door to where she lived… Something she did regularly. When the child's mother returned home, in the early morning hours, she asked Donna run across the street to a convenience store before she left. This visit to the store which was only a stones throw away from her home is the last time Donna was seen alive. A gruesome discovery at a riverbank in the days later would explain what happened to her... but not who was responsible. The murder has remained unsolved for nearly 40 years, but not due to lack of trying. Donna's old sister Tammy has made it her life's mission to bring the person or persons responsible for Donna's death to justice. In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Tammy Dennett, to discuss the still unsolved murder of her little sister Donna-Jean Awcock Episode Links: Justice for Donna Awcock facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/164821050218358
