Mapleton trio riding to “Conquer Cancer”

by Chris Daponte

JERRY ROUBOS, WIEBE (BILL) VAN ZWOL AND JEFF DUIMERING

WELLINGTON CTY. Three friends from Mapleton Township are turning their passion for cycling into a valiant effort to help put an end to cancer.

Jeff Duimering, Jerry Roubos and Wiebe (Bill) Van Zwol will ride over 200km from Toronto to Niagara Falls as part of the Ride to Conquer Cancer on June 12 and 13.

The money raised by the trio - each participant is expected to raise at least $2,500 - will benefit The Campbell Family Institute at The Princess Margaret Hospital, one of the top five cancer research centres in the world.

Duimering, 38, who lives on a farm just outside of Drayton and runs his own carpentry business, started cycling seriously just one year ago because of the health benefits.

He decided to take part in the event because of the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

“I love cycling and it’s a good cause,” he said. “What I really appreciate is the money goes directly to cancer research.”

In just two years of existence, the Ride to Conquer Cancer - there are also events in Quebec, Alberta and BC has surpassed all other cycling events to become Canada’s most successful cycling fundraiser, raising more than $28.5-million in 2008 and 2009.

Last year the ride boasted 3,530 participants from eight provinces, l4 states and four countries.

“It’s a great feeling doing it,” said Roubos, who will take part next month for the third straight year. “And it’s also

very humbling to see people who have been through [cancer] doing it as well.”

Roubos, 35, is a project manager with Moorefield Excavating and lives just west of Arthur. He says he’s been “pretty lucky” in that he’s not had to deal with cancer personally.

In fact, all three Mapleton residents say none of their close friends or immediate family members have been stricken with the disease.

While that may be relatively rare, so too then is the trio’s truly altruistic desire to participate in the grueling event despite the lack of a personal connection to the disease.

Roubos said his main reason for taking part is simple.

“I think mentally and emotionally I could handle it if I got cancer,” he said on his blog for the 2009 Ride to Conquer Cancer.

“But what if it was one of my kids? What if one of them was stricken with this disease?

Could I bear to see them suffer? Kids are supposed to be vibrant bundles of energy ... I would feel pretty lost and helpless ...

“That is why I ride. To help fund the research that may one day ease the suffering of someone I love; to enable the doctors to find a cure for cancer.”

Asked why he participates, Van Zwol simply says, “It’s a fun thing to do and I believe it’s a good cause.”

Now 61, Van Zwol lives northeast of Rothsay and is no stranger to cycling or to physically challenging charity events. Having grown up in the Netherlands, he learned to love riding during daily bike trips back and forth to school and

other destinations.

Several years ago he took part in the Around the Bay Road Race to benefit McMaster University hospital, running one 10km leg of the 30km race. But he much prefers cycling.

“I think it’s better exercise.

And it agrees with my body much better than running,” he said with a laugh.

to try completing the entire trek from Toronto to Niagara in one day.

Part of his training includes biking back and forth to Sunday mass at the Christian Reformed Church in Palmerston every week - a distance of about 15km each way.

All three Mapleton residents said they don’t really have a time in which they’d

“That is why I ride.

To help fund the research that may one day ease the suffering of someone I love; to enable the doctors to find a cure for cancer.”

- Jerry Roubos on taking part in the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

A few years ago Van Zwol also participated in a 160km leg - from Owen Sound to Guelph - of the Sea to Sea bicycling tour that featured a stop at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian church in Fergus.

Duimering may be newer to the world of cycling, but he’s already put 750km on his bicycle this year, riding at least twice per week. Roubos also bikes several times per week to prepare and trains on a stationary bike in his basement in the winter.

“The first year was the most difficult,” Roubos said of the 200km Ride to Conquer Cancer. “But it’s still draining.”

Yet Van Zwol thinks “the average person” should be able to cycle 100km in a day and said next year he’d like the trio

like to finish the Ride to Conquer Cancer - they’re just looking forward to working as a team during the ride.

“It’s definitely more fun [than going alone],” Van Zwol said. Added Duimering, “It’s easier to be motivated with a group.”

So far, Roubos, Van Zwol and Duimering all say their fundraising has been going great, starting with fabulous support from their families and complimented by the generosity of friends and business connections (all three are involved in different areas of the construction business).

“I’ve had good support,” Duimering said, to nods of agreement from Van Zwol and Roubos. Duimering has already surpassed his goal of $3,200

and anything more raised is a bonus, he said.

Van Zwol, part owner of Wellington Construction, said his company will match whatever he personally raises, and his goal is $5,000 total.

Roubos said he did not have a fundraising goal per se, but he has almost reached the m i n i m u m required.

Without looking too far ahead, all three men expressed an interest in competing again in 2011.

But for now, they’re just excited about cycling, the camaraderie of riding alongside one another and doing something for a good cause.

Sure, they’re hoping for sunshine, but even bad weather won’t be able to spoil the mood or diminish the magnitude of their accomplishment.

“I think it’s going to be a beautiful weekend regardless,” said Van Zwol.

“LINDSAY MORGAN” WEEKLY EVENTS

EDEN MILLS - The name may have changed, but the June 5 and 6 Eden Mills Arts Festival still offers a great opportunity to get a good look at the wide range of works of 18 village artists to be showcased.

That Saturday and Sunday the studios will be open from 11am to 5pm. For the past nine years the weekend event has been known as Art in Eden.

Started in 2001 by Eden Mills artists Anna Simon, Lee Lang and Sharlotte Reinhold, it has been a successful spring event since 2006.

“The name change reflects the path we’ve chosen, to include more than just the visual arts,” said spokesman Michael Coull. “We are looking forward to including music, dance, theatre and a host of other artistic genres. We are also exploring the inclusion of classes from the many artists in Eden Mills.

ST. JACOBS – The most innovative dance show ever to be staged opens at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse this June.

Tap Dogs features six male tap dancers using everything from scaffolding to metal grinders to create a non-stop dance spectacle.

“Drayton Entertainment is thrilled to give local audiences the opportunity to see such a jaw-dropping performance,”

said artistic director, Alex Mustakas. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we see people attempting to tap dance their way out of the theatre after the show.”

Tap Dogs has been performed in 330 cities worldwide with 12 million seats sold.

Created by two-time Olivier award-winning choreographer Dein Perry, with a construction site set by eclectic designer and director Nigel Triffitt, Tap Dogs is rocking entertainment

– part theatre, part dance, part rock concert – a rough, tough and rocking reinvention of tap.

It was the instant hit of the Sydney Theatre Festival, where it had its world premiere in 1995, and caused an equal sensation at the Edinburgh Festival later that year. It then played to standing room only at London’s Sadler’s Wells, with return tours of Australia, and a second West End engagement.

Tap Dogs made its North American debut at Montreal’s Just For Laughs festival in August 1996. The show played to critical acclaim on a limited North American tour prior to an engagement in New York City, where Perry earned a 1997 Drama Desk nomination for best choreography and the show received a 1997 Obie Award. Since its debut, Tap Dogs has toured extensively through North America, Eur-

ope, Australia, the Far East and South Africa.

Tap Dogs will play eight shows a week, June 2 through June 26 at St. Jacobs Country Playhouse. Tickets can be ordered by calling (519) 7477788 or toll free at 1-888-4494463. Visit www.stjacobscountryplayhouse.com or www.tapdogs.com for more information.

AND

ENTERTAINMENT Area actor returning from Broadway for Drayton Entertainment’s Cagney DRAYTON – Broadway actor and Walkerton native Robert Creighton will be returning to his theatre roots this summer at the Drayton Festival Theatre.

Creighton will be starring in Cagney, a musical biography of silver-screen legend James Cagney, Hollywood’s iconic hoofer. Creighton co-wrote the production, which will make its Canadian premiere at the Drayton Festival Theatre from June 30 through July 24.

“Robert has a distinguished history with Drayton Entertainment,” said artistic director Alex Mustakas, who first met Creighton in 1988. “We are thrilled that, after all of his success in New York, he has chosen to return to the Drayton Festival Theatre and give local

audiences the opportunity to see this fascinating musical biography.”

Creighton made his debut at the Drayton Festival Theatre in 1991, in the theatre’s inaugural production of Vaudeville, followed by a memorable turn as the precocious Eugene in Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs.

“Since day one, Drayton Entertainment has cultivated a reputation for nurturing artists,” said Mustakas. “It is fitting that Robert Creighton returns to the stage that launched his career as the Drayton Festival Theatre commemorates its 20th anniversary season.”

Creighton appeared in other Drayton productions over the next few years before securing

ROBERT CREIGHTON the role of Goody King in the national tour of Fame in 1998.

His Broadway debut came in

2003, when he appeared in Jackie Mason’s Laughing Room Only. He then accepted

demonstrations, an Equine chiropractor and more.

The Galt Kiltie Band and All Together Now will provide musical entertainment. And The Carrot Walk will include the stars of the day- the donkeys. Donkey Day veterans and newcomers will find some pleasant surprises.

The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and protection of abandoned, neglected or abused donkeys, mules and hinnies. Animals admitted there are given a lifelong home.

Currently, the sanctuary is home to 56 donkeys and 9 mules.

The sanctuary is a non-prof-

it organization that relies solely on individual donations and fundraising events, such as Donkey Day. It does not receive government funding.

Organizers thank the Donkey Day sponsors: Scotia Bank, 1460CJOY, MAGIC106.1, Chantler’s Environmental Services, Linamar, Red Car Service, Main Street Animal Hospital (Cambridge), Kids Creations Art Studio, Graphic Services, and Red Tree Audio Productions, Admission is $10 for adults , and children ages 3 to 18 pay $5.

roles in the Broadway productions of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Little Mermaid, and, most recently, as Timone in the stage adaptation of The Lion King.

Creighton, who has a BA in vocal performance from Wilfrid Laurier University, has already received a lot of praise for his work in Cagney, which features music and lyrics that he co-wrote. The production won a 2010 Carbonell award for Best New Work, and was nominated in a number of other categories including Best Actor in a Musical for Creighton.

Along with New York’s Drama Desk and Chicago’s Joseph Jefferson awards, the Carbonell awards are among the United States’ premiere senior regional arts awards.

“There is a sort of juxtaposition in this production that really engages audiences,” said Mustakas. “On one hand we have the tough-guy character that Cagney portrayed on the silver screen, while on the other we have the light-hearted humour and music that is written into the script that is a closer resemblance to Cagney’s real-life personality.”

Audiences will especially enjoy the renditions of the brilliant song and dance numbers Yankee Doodle Dandy and Give My Regards to Broadway.

Tickets may be purchased through the Drayton Festival Theatre box office at 519-6385555 or toll free at 1-888-4494463. For more information please visit www.draytonfestivaltheatre.com.

Plant a vegetable garden.

Spring is the time to get your garden going so that it will provide a bounty of fresh and inexpensive vegetables all summer long and into the fall as well. Optimal planting times vary by region. In the northwest, southeast and southwest, the best time to plant is generally April, while May is generally best for planting gardens in the northeastern and central states.

Learn the art of canning: Extend the savings and enjoyment from your garden by preserving fruits and vegetables.

While the process requires little in the way of equipment, it does require an understanding of the process and a commitment to cleanliness. But the results are definitely worth the effort.

Hold a yard sale. Whether you call it a yard sale, garage sale or tag sale, it's a surefire way to rid your home of unwanted items and make some extra money at the same time. Remember, since the secret to a successful yard sale is foot traffic, it pays to advertise. In addition to putting up signs at well-traveled intersections in your neighborhood, it pays to spend a few dollars on a newspaper ad. Many local newspapers offer special garage sale rates and some

even supply free signs and useful tips.

Invest in a crockpot or slow cooker. In addition to saving time, slow cookers are the frugal cook's best friends -- particularly during the spring and summer. Not only do they transform less expensive cuts of meat into tasty and tender meals, but they save energy because they keep kitchens cool even when the weather grows warm.

Drop your dryer. Air-drying laundry is a boon to the environment and your bottom line.

If you do not have an outdoor space to hang laundry, there are

several types of indoor drying racks available, including space-saving models that are designed to be hung on a wall.

Alter kids' winter wardrobes.

Here's a tip for handy parents with growing kids. Since kids will likely outgrow their current winter clothes by next year, parents can save a bundle by transforming long sleeves into short sleeves and pants into shorts. If you have a sewing machine and measure carefully, you can quickly create a warm-weather wardrobe for your kids without spending a dime.

Don't let vampire power suck your wallet dry from vampire power drain.

Vampire power varies in its level of destruction. Some devices, such as chargers, have been nicknamed "wall warts" because they can waste up to 50 percent of power since they're always plugged in.

They continually provide a charge even if there is no device. Other devices, such as electric coffee pots or microwaves use vampire power to keep clocks working or to illuminate digital displays. Refrigerators require monitoring of internal temperature to know when to kick the motor into gear. Televisions use phantom load to be ready on a moment's notice to recognize a remote control signal.

Other devices use the energy to make sure they don't have to "warm up" before use; certain parts of the device are on all of the time.

There is a growing threat of vampire power proliferation.

As long as new technological devices come on the market, the chance for the vampire to sink its teeth into the electrical supply continues. All of these

devices are known vampires:TVs, VCRs, DVD players, answering machines, MP3 players, cell phones, stereos, laptops, and desktops. Also, look out for anything with a remote, anything with a charger or anything with a clock display.

Fight Vampire Power Pests 1. Reduce the demand for energy. Gadgets are certainly fun, but think about if you need a multitude of these devices.

2. Choose Energy Star-qualified electronics and appliances, which generally use less power.

3. Seek out the real "off"switch. Some devices have a soft power switch on the front that simply powers down the device. The real "off" switch may be located in the back.

4. When in doubt, simply unplug it from the outlet.

5. Use a power strip. Plug all of your devices into one power strip and turn off the power strip when not in use. This provides less hassle than juggling plugs and outlets.

6. Invest in a smart strip,

Many electronic devices continue to use power even if they are turned off.

which measures power usage of computers and peripherals.

Therefore, when you shut down the computer, the peripherals get powered down, too.

7. Use a "Kill-A-Watt" device.

It tells you how much power an electronic is using when on or off. It'll help you identify the biggest power drains.

There's a vampire on the loose, and it's not Edward Cullen or one of the other "Twilight" gang. The trouble is, this vampire doesn't only lurk at night. It's continually sucking up your money and affecting the environment. But there is a way to stop it without sunlight, garlic or wooden stakes. All you may have to do is pull the plug.

Vampire power, also known by another ghoulish name, phantom load, is the power many plugged-in devices use even when they're in the "off" position. Chances are if the plug is warm, it's sucking electricity, wasting energy and costing you money.

Some reports say that in the United States alone, vampire power costs individuals more than $3 billion a year. While one cell phone charger does not an energy crisis make, multiply all of the microwaves, televisions, alarm clocks, A/C adaptors, etc. that are plugged in throughout homes across the world, and one can quickly see how vampire power can do its share of damage. It's estimated that many electrical devices use more energy and cost consumers more in the hours they're not being used simply

Switch your font ... protect the planet?

The font type and size used to print documents can mean the difference between being green and using more ink and paper, according to research.

Think back to high school or even college. Teachers often set guidelines for typed reports and term papers. They specified the font and margin size for a reason. Otherwise students would use extra-wide margins and turn in a paper typed at 16 point size to easily meet the page number requirements of the assignment.

By reversing that logic, one can reduce the amount of paper and ink used for any printed documents and be green in the process.

Font Facts Certain fonts are used for readability and cross-platform compatibility. However, these readable fonts may not con-

serve as much ink as other options. The key is to find a balance.

Serif fonts, or those that have small lines and decorative edges, tend to require less ink than wider, sans-serif options.

Also, fonts that have the word "narrow," "thin" or "condensed" in their names generally use less ink as well.

Printer.com, a Dutch company that evaluates printer attributes, has studied the font situation and compiled information on what fonts may save ink, and thus money and energy. Times New Roman and Century Gothic, for example, use less ink than popular Arial.

Simply by changing the default font to Times New Roman can save about 30 percent less ink.

With the average printer cartridge or toner costing $10 or more, that adds up to consider-

able savings over the course of a year.

It is also recommended to use the "draft" setting of the printer when printing less important documents because this setting reduces the saturation of ink.

Paper Cutbacks While changing a font type certainly can make a difference in ink usage, the bulk of the environmental benefits come from reduced paper usage.

To achieve this, a condensed font combined with small margins and a smaller, yet still readable point size can increase the amount of text that fits on a standard page. Thus, fewer pages need to be used when printing. This trick paired with printing on both sides of the paper greatly reduces the amount of paper used for regular printing needs.

Pickier Printing Of course, being selective about what is printed is an ideal way to reduce paper usage.

Many companies and individuals are opting for electronic statements, e-mails and the like, which are viewed on the monitor and saved as digital files. This reduces paper usage and extra trash.

The average American household can save on 6.6 pounds of paper and 171 pounds of greenhouse gases simply by switching to electronic statements. While that benefits the earth, it also reduces clutter inside of the home in terms of filed paperwork and excess mail.

It doesn't take a lot of effort to go green. Small changes like a change in font and point size can help individuals do their part.

Just as it was only a generation ago when a computer filled an entire room, we've come a long way from the days when the average home wasted vast amounts of energy.

Many older houses still do due mainly to antiquated building methods rather than occupant neglect so if you're about to build your dream home, it's worth knowing that there are some highly advanced construction options available.

Many of them will ensure the lowest maintenance costs during your ownership plus the very best resale value later.

Where in the past a house was created by parts and pieces, the focus now is on integrated systems for walls, ceilings and floors. One system for building replaces the inefficient wood 'stick' method

with pre-assembled, interlocking concrete forms.

Once locked together (like Lego), the homeowner gets a solid, monolithic building envelope which is known to cut energy bills up to 70 percent. Indoor comfort is improved since wood-rot and mold is controlled. Drafts and cold spots are eliminated and this kind of concrete wall is recorded to be up to three times more sound resistant, four times more fire resistant, and nine times stronger.

Builder Quick Tip Over the past decade, the most energy efficient buildings and homes in North America have been built with this system and every year more and more builders are making the big change. Here's a snapshot of the construction benefits: * Pre-assembled concrete building forms make wall construction easier and faster for contractors, designers and engineers. * The patented fastening strips

inside the panels ensure no compression during placement and securely lock the forms into place. * The innovative 'hinged web' lets the forms to be shipped flat, allowing 40 percent more of them on a truck compared to outdated methods. * Assembly time is eliminated and the compact design allows one person the ability to easily carry 36 squarefeet of wall form from the truck to the storage area. * In one building step, place 12 square-feet of wall.

Installation is faster, with less waste and reduced seams. * A patented foam interlock allows the form to be 4-way reversible. This automatically doubles the usage whenever a half height form may be required. It virtually eliminates waste when constructing gable end walls, since both halves can be used.

Rural Life

Fiddlehead research springs ahead Fiddlehead greens, the young tightly curled fronds of the indigenous wild ostrich fern (Matteucia struthiopteris), are a delectable spring vegetable and rite of the season.

Fiddleheads are a food source have been well known to Canada’s First-Nations for many years. Primarily found in Maritime Canada, they are also native to parts of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

Research being done by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) scientist Dr. John DeLong and his colleagues is now proving that fiddleheads are not only delicious but also very healthy.

Working from his laboratory at the Atlantic Food and Horticulture Research Centre in Kentville, Nova Scotia, Dr. DeLong has been studying the nutritional composition of fiddleheads for a number of years.

In addition to being a good source of dietary fibre and being low in sodium, fiddleheads contain vitamins A and C, niacin, potassium, phosphorous, iron, and magnesium.

Interestingly, the brilliant green fiddleheads also contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

“Nutritionally, the fiddlehead is similar to spinach, which we know as being a ‘good-for-you’ vegetable,” explained Dr. DeLong. “But unlike spinach, fiddleheads contain this EPA omega-3 fatty acid, as well as high concentrations of antioxidants.

“Both omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which could make them very useful in the treatment and prevention of many diseases.

“The fiddlehead’s total antioxidant activity is twice that of blueberries.”

Although he regularly enjoys fiddleheads in meals (and won’t disclose where his favourite local stashes of ostrich ferns are located), Dr. DeLong stressed that fiddleheads must never be eaten raw, due to the potential for harmful microflora and fauna to be caught and held in the vegetable’s tightly curled fronds.

“They need to be well washed and fully cooked.” He also noted it is important to harvest them at the right stage, such as before the tightly curled fronds begin to unfurl - which is before they are 10 to 12 centimeters high. If they are too mature, they will have a bitter, unpleasant taste.

The fresh fiddlehead industry in Maritime Canada is traditionally a short-lived one of about a month’s duration, following which consumers must rely on commercially frozen or even home-preserved fiddleheads if they want to continue to enjoy this unique vegetable.

While the current demand for fiddleheads is adequately supplied by wild harvesting, further interest in the plant for its nutritional qualities may well lead to opportunities for agricultural producers to take an innovative step forward into raising this unique crop.

Dr. DeLong is also currently working with a colleague at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College in Truro, investigating the inclusion of the plant as a nutrient additive that could be used in livestock and poultry feeds, for example to produce omega-3 rich eggs and pork.

What does the future hold for Dr. DeLong’s research with fiddleheads? He is curious about what cooking does to the beneficial compounds fiddleheads contain, and whether how they are cooked - by steaming or boiling - will affect nutrient levels.

When it comes to windshield repair and replacement YOU SHOULD STOP AT GO! on the highways, and anyone living in the country knows the risks of following another vehicle down a dirt road! All of a sudden a stone bounces up and hits the windshield with a loud pop. The noise makes you jump and then you notice, with dismay, a mark on the glass. A chip!

The integrity of your windshield may now have been compromised, and although a small chip is perhaps nothing to worry about at this point, it is well worth having it checked because that small chip may become a bigger problem in the future. It really comes down to the old proverb that a ‘stitch in time saves nine’.

Drivers should consider that it is much

Brian and Dan Welsh are ready to install a windshield on your vehicle

cheaper to get a chip fixed right away. This can usually be done quite easily by injecting a special epoxy filler into the chip. If you choose to leave that chip unattended, you may find yourself with a crack in the windshield at some point in the future. Sometimes all it takes is for the car to hit a bump or pothole in the road for that to happen. In that case a replacement windshield would be required.

Also, many of you may not know that the effectiveness and safety of the front airbag operation in many vehicles can be adversely affected by an unstable windshield.

Some airbag deployment methods use the base of the windshield as the pushing off point for inflation should an impact occur, so it is important that the windshield be strong and stable.

Although the majority of repairs

take place at the shop, there are occasions when mobile service may be provided. This is usually in cases of severe windshield damage, where driving your vehicle to the Go Glass location may be dangerous. If you are in any doubt, don’t hesitate to call Go Glass for advice on your particular situation.

A repair or replacement can take from 45 minutes to three or four hours, depending on what is required. The repair and replace processes include the use of certain chemicals and adhesives. These need to ‘cure’, so Go Glass is careful to allow a ‘safe drive-away time’ before returning the vehicle to the customer. They take great pride in the quality and safety of their work.

Windshields are not all that they do at Go Glass. They also sell and fit vehicle accessories. Some of these include step bars, trailer hitches, tonneau covers and truck caps, and they also offer a window tinting service.

Your driving safety and comfort should be of paramount importance. If you have a chip or a crack in your windshield don’t ignore it, and don’t keep putting off that repair. Give the guys at Go Glass a call and arrange to have it fixed without further delay!

To all of our Nominees, Nominators and of course the WINNERS – thank you and congratulations! You are all Outstanding in Your Field!!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Bide your time, Aries, because change is on the horizon. You just need to have a little more patience. However, the outcome may not be what you expected.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 You haven't been feeling like yourself, Scorpio, and others notice the change.

It could just be stress or you may be feeling a little restless. Hang in there.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, things are about to heat up and you could begin to feel overwhelmed in the next few days. You will have to struggle only for a little bit, though.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are in a festive mood, but others aren't receptive to your jovial demeanor. Maybe you should postpone the festivities for another week.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, take your time going through your choices this week. Otherwise you may make a bad decision that you will regret later. An old friend is in town.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, if you can't make up your mind, how are you going to be able to convey your point to others? The next few weeks are busy and you won't have much time for discussion.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You need a break, Cancer, but you don't know from what. Analyze what is giving you the most stress and act on changing that situation. Money woes are forgotten.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, relationships are strained and you're called in to act as mediator. But you don't relish the idea of acting as a referee. Be patient with the situation.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it's okay to take others' advice once in a while. You don't have to stand on your own merits every day. People already know that you are a strong person.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Don't think about making any big changes in the next few days, Libra.

Your personal life is about to turn topsy turvy and you will have a lot of choices to consider.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Start putting your money where your mouth is, Aquarius. There's only so long you can bait a person and keep your catch on the line. Sooner or later he or she will get smart and leave.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Travel is in your immediate future, Pisces. You just won't be sure if it will be a long adventure or just a day jaunt to get away.

Barrett Xplore Inc. is the operator of Xplornet Internet Services and has recently purchased the assets of Everus Communications (the original project vendor) and taken over their operations.

Barrett Xplore Inc. and the County are finalizing technical and deployment plans for the project with the intent to start building towers and provide service as early as this summer, completing the project within the next 12 months.

For more information, please visit the Xplornet website at: www.xplornet.com or email the County of Wellington at: highspeed@wellington.ca.
