      The

      -and-
      Roger
      Younker
     
    
   
   
    
     
      And
      after
      all,
      what
      were
      we
     
     
      supposed
      to
      do?
      I
      mean,
      two-hundred
     
     
      and
      seven
      years-old.
      Two-hundred
     
     
      and
      seven!
      Not
      a
      milestone
      that
      comes
     
     
      along
      everyday.
      When's
      the
      last
      time
     
     
      you
      heard
      of
      someone
      celebrating
      their
     
     
      two-hundred
      and
      seventh
      birthday?
     
    

    
     
      This
      was
      the
      case
      at
      UPEI’s
     
     
      campus
      bar
      this
      past
      Saturday
      night.
     
     
      Shouts
      of
      joy
      seemed
      to
      echo
      endlessly
     
     
      as
      the
      evening
      progressed.
      "Happy
     
     
      birthday,
      Alexander
      Keith!"
      —
      Indeed.
     
     
      Happy
      birthday.
     
    

    
     
      The
      folks
      at
      The
      Wave
      are
     
     
      learning
      rather
      quickly
      how
      to
      throw
      a
     
     
      fantastic
      party.
      Having
      said
      that,
      I
     
     
      must
      confess
      that
      while
      I’m
      writing
      this
     
     
      editorial,
      I’m
      not
      in
      the
      best
      shape
      to
     
     
      be
      doing
      so.
      I’ve
      left
      it
      too
      late,
      and
     
     
      now
      my
      brain
      isn’t
      working
      properly.
     
     
      I’ve
      left
      it
      too
      late,
      and
      we'll
      just
      have
     
     
      to
      hope
      for
      the
      best.
      I’ve
      left
      it
      too
     
     
      late,
      and
      I
      need
      a
      strong
      cup
      of
      coffee
     
     
      and
      an
      asprin...
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Prince
      Edward
      Island
      has
      just
     
     
      become
      a
      very
      different
      place.
      After
     
     
      twenty-five
      years
      as
      the
      main-man
      on
     
     
      CBC's
      supper
      hour
      newscast,
      Roger
     
     
      Younker
      has
      decided
      to
      call
      it
      a
      career.
     
     
      Friday,
      October
      4th,
      marks
      Younker's
     
     
      last
      show
      as
      Prince
      Edward
      Island's
      _
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      most
      well
      known
      journalist.
     
    

    
     
      Let's
      face
      it—
      Roger
      Younker
     
     
      is
      an
      Island
      icon.
      Seriously.
     
    

    
     
      With
      the
      search
      for
      the
      new
     
     
      host
      of
      the
      Prince
      Edward
      Island
      edi-
     
     
      tion
      of
      Canada
      Now
      already
      underway,
     
     
      the
      CBC
      hopes
      to
      have
      someone
      new
     
     
      in
      place
      in
      the
      very
      near
      future.
      But
     
     
      honestly,
      is
      anyone
      ever
      going
      to
      be
     
     
      able
      to
      replace
      Roger
      Younker?
     
    

    
     
      Yah,
      alright,
      I
      know
      I'm
     
     
      sounding
      pretty
      cheesy
      here.
      Maybe
     
     
      that's
      the
      hangover
      talking.
     
    

    
     
      I'll
      admit
      it.
      I
      wasn't
      the
     
     
      biggest
      fan
      of
      "Soup
      to
      Nuts",
      and
      I'm
     
     
      relieved
      that
      I
      will
      never
      again
      witness
     
     
      Roger
      battle
      it
      out
      with
      freelance-jour-
     
     
      nalist
      Jack
      McAndrew
      —
      but
      Roger
     
     
      Younker
      brought
      something
      special
      to
     
     
      Compass.
      Something
      that
      will
      be
      very
     
     
      hard
      to
      replace.
      If
      not
      impossible.
     
    

    
     
      He
      has
      become,
      over
      the
      past
     
     
      three
      decades,
      the
      most
      trusted
      source
     
     
      of
      news
      on
      an
      Island
      where
      everyone's
     
     
      business
      ends
      up
      becoming
      everyone
     
     
      else's.
      That's
      no
      small
      task,
      and
      Roger
     
     
      was
      able
      to
      fully
      embody
      the
      role.
