THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2012 THE NEW TANNER 11 Township Digest Successful Fox Run The Rockwood Terry Fox Run raised "a shade under $10,000" in pledges and donations, bringing the 29-year total for the event to $130,000. "I'm happy. I'm ecstatic with the dollars ­ it is a little run, and in the past five years we've been approaching that $10,000 mark," organizer Steve Thomson said last Thursday. Twenty-five participants ­ as young as four and as old as 75 ­ took part in the event which included a five-kilometre loop through the village, a route that eliminated another five-kilometre loop to the south of the village to avoid the on-going Highway 7 reconstruction as possible. The first Rockwood Fox Run was an outreach project of the youth group at Stone United Church and many of the participants in the September 16th Run were Church members.

Police Beat Pot pursuit A 23-year-old Rockwood man was charged with possession of marijuana following a Guelph police traffic unit stop of a speeding car last Wednesday. Police said after pulling the vehicle over, they noticed the smell of burnt marijuana and informed the driver and passenger they were under arrest. The driver took off at a high rate of speed to avoid arrest, leading to a brief police pursuit which was called off due to public safety concerns. A short time later, the passenger from Rockwood was located and searched and a small amount of marijuana was seized. The next day, the driver, a 23-year-old Guelph man, turned himself into police and was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police, resisting arrest and speeding.
