WELCOME TO ALL QUADERS TO THE LIONS’ 9TH ANNUAL DERBY Breakfast 8:00 – 11:00 a.m. (sponsored by Wawota Forum Board) Supper 4:30 – 7:00 p.m. (sponsored by Daycare Centre) GOOD-BYE & GOOD LUCK News-in-a-Minute has just learned that Samantha Millard, R.M. of Walpole Administrator, has resigned her position and will be moving to Hanley and working as Administrator for the R.M. of Rosedale. Samantha has been employed by the R.M. of Walpole for 1 year and 4 months. The move will take her closer to her family. News-in-a-Minute wishes Samantha all the best in her new position and thanks her for her contribution to our community. Farewell Sam and Charlotte – and it was our pleasure to have known you. EARTH WEEK Did you know that this past week has been designated “Earth Week”? And Tuesday, April 22nd was “Earth Day”. Also our earth – to further celebrate these events, we are sure - has the Lyrid Meteor Shower visible from April 1625 (weather permitting). Most of the Northern Hemisphere with clear skies can see the Lyrid meteor shower and the best viewing will be between midnight and dawn, local time to wherever you are. Earth Day is an annual event that showcases worldwide events held in honor of our planet and to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Earth Day was first celebrated – surprisingly – all the way back in 1970, but is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and celebrated in close to 200 countries around the planet. Here are some ways we all can do our small part to support Earth Day/Week initiatives:  Bike or walk and leave your car at home.  Turn off the water tap when you brush your teeth (& save 5 gallons of water per person per day).  Recycle cans (one can of pop saves enough energy to run your TV for 3 hours if recycled & converted.)  Use a refillable water bottle (in USA 1.5 million barrels of oil are used every year to make disposable plastic bottles.)  Recycle glass – don’t toss in the trashcan. (It takes over a million years to decompose glass.)  Remove garbage from the ground. One doesn’t have to look very far to see litter. There is likely some on your property right now. Spend a few extra minutes doing something you perhaps would normally overlook – go out of your way and pick up some trash.  Educate yourself and your children – remind them it is their planet too! Earth Day is a time to make a commitment to opening a book or a web page and learning a little about the planet we inhabit and oftentimes take for granted.  And lastly remember the 3 “R”s --- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle WAWOTA MEDICAL CLINIC HOURS Fri.

But skateboarding first became popular in California in the late 1940s.

Surely the old myth that whatever the weather on Good Friday, we can expect the same for the next 40 days won’t hold true. One reader asked “How many more weeks of winter can we expect if the Easter Bunny sees his shadow on Easter Sunday?” Really, we must consider ourselves very fortunate – no major flooding, earthquakes, mud slides, avalanches that many of other parts of the world experience. Gas prices have – or are – taking another hike – with predictions that they could reach $1.50/litre or higher. Speaking with a family member in Thunder Bay over Easter, they tell us they are paying $1.46 already! Also we are hearing we can expect natural gas and telephone bills to take an increase – remember when? A reader “to the north” recently complained about being mentioned on the front page of our paper – we casually gave them the option of front page or centre fold – the response is unprintable! With fishing season soon opening, we’ll no doubt have some more stories! Last week we had the need to visit the new Spectator office in Moosomin – what an awesome place – something you’d expect to see in the city. We were shown many old items brought from the old office – what a change from then ‘til now. Thanks Kevin & Kara for the support and encouragement. Attended the final show of the 2013/14 Arts Council on Tuesday – Gordie MacKeeman and his Rhythm Boys – a four piece group from P.E.I. They gave a great show of down-east music. Kudos to the folks who bring this top notch entertainment to our area. Season tickets are available for the 4-show 2014/15 season – makes great gifts for the “hard-to-buy-for”. Hockey fans are glued to the TV these days taking in the NHL playoffs. “True Canadians” have only one choice this year with Montreal representing our country. We hear that some of the American teams have more Canadian players on their roster than those from the US. For the next few weeks we know of one household who will be switching channels when Don Cherry appears – sorry! As we “go to press”, we are enjoying 17ºC temps – driving with the sun roof open! We hear that precipitation is in the forecast for the next few days – rain we will take … snow – NO!! We’ll close with an encouraging poem … Spring has sprung The grass will riz Any day now we’ll see Where the crocuses iz! - Author Unknown Q: Where does the president keep his armies? A: In his sleevies. Q: Why are pirates called pirates? A: Because they arrrrr. You asked ?? Question: What is this Social Club we are reading/hearing about? Answer: At the Mayoralty Candidate public meeting held last fall, a newcomer to our community raised the concern that after 6 p.m. on any given night, there was nothing to do in Town. Members of the Business Enhancement Group picked up on this concern and decided to try to make something happen – they organized the Social Club. An evening is held at the Drop In Centre every Wednesday at 7 p.m. where a variety of games are available – for all age groups. Following an hour or so of great fun and socializing, a very dedicated attendee supplies delicious munchies. So far, the attendance has been from 3 to 15 – ages ? to 80 plus! Anyone is welcome – the last one of the season will be on April 30th – possibly starting up in the fall again.

Sometimes she identifies the criminal and the story relates to how the police gather and use the evidence to convict them. So it is in The Lost Years when a biblical scholar is shot to death after discovering a letter that may have been written by Jesus. Early in the story we have access to the criminal’s thoughts and actions. How he outsmarts himself and how the story evolves makes for an enjoyable read. This is another best seller that is available at the Wawota Public library. There are 20 members this year and they are very enthused about performing in their local community. They are also excited about raising funds for WORLD VISION. A silver collection will be taken at the door and cheques made out to World Vision for $20 or more will be sent a receipt. The actors will perform two plays: GHOST LIGHT.....An unexpected inheritance makes a young couple’s dream of owning their own theater come true....but ghostly occurrences may thwart their plans for a successful start.... THE MAGIC PURSE & BUS STOP......Colorful characters make driver’s job a real adventure......
