Daily Five: Skating For Hunger, Mounties, Blogs

Five things to know for February 1

1. Were you hoping the recent warmth was here to stay? Too bad, winter's back today as the temperature tops out at 32 degrees and dips to 17 degrees overnight. Mostly cloudy and windy with a small chance of flurries. Sunrise is 7 a.m., sunset is 5:05 p.m.

2. The Outskate Hunger food drive kicks off tonight and continues every Friday in February. Bring a non-perishable food item to the Rink at Parade Plaza between 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. to get free admission and skate rental.

3. The latest in Hygienic XXXIV events is Fashion in the Ballroom, starting at 8 p.m. tonight at the Crocker House Ballroom. Stop in to check out some local designs and musical guests. The suggested donation is $10.

4. In recent weeks we’ve had blogs submitted on a young professionals meeting, a nurse at Lawrence & Memorial Hospital, and men and ugly chairs. If you have something you want to write about, submit a blog of your own.

5. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police officially came into effect on this day in 1920 following legislation merging the North-West Mounted Police and Dominion Police.

Funny how very other week the mayor had a press conference.. All these issues coming to light and noRead More word from the mayor!?

The mayor and council president will lie and cheat to protect the mayor's unqualified and dishonestRead More people. The council and the council leadership is supposed to act as a check and balance in this new form of government. Mr. Smith is one of those dishonest people. It is sad that this person can be so dishonest and that the so called leaders in the community back the dishonest person rather than standing up for the taxpayers and people that really do live here and pay taxes. As a finance director Mr. Smith knows the importance of the proper tax town for vehicles, so he cannot claim ignorance. Is he is breaking the law because the taxes in Windham are lower or because he truly lives in Windham?
