F y cat Weggie has just been inducted into that exclusive WA club known as MENSA.

Over 200 people attended this event which was the first for the residents association. I would like to thank Patricia Iannuzzi, the event coâ€"ordinator, and all the volunteers for their dedication making the day an enjoyable one for all the residents and their guests. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the executive, I would like to acknowledge the generosity of many Oakville businesses and individuals. ‘They graciously offered their assistance and resources, no questions asked. I look forward to the future of this association and this community in ‘West Oak Trails with great expectation because we are all such good neighâ€" bors indeed! Thank you to all. (I understand Lassie had all the votes necessary for acceptance, until he took a leak on the front left tire of the car of the MENSA rep who came out to the farm with the certificate.) Anyway, Weggie got in because he was able to prove he is approximately three to four times smarter than his owner. That would be me; the guy with the $300 screenâ€"door budget.

President, West Oak Trails Association of Residents You may think I‘m exaggerating, but if you drive through the nearby town of Port Colborne this summer, you‘ll notice in the window of Reichman Lumber on Main Street: "The Weggie Special". Basically, when any cat who goes through a screen door four times, the fifth repair job is free. Suffice to say...it‘s a good thing he can‘t wield a hammer; otherwise, I wouldn‘t have a window left in the house. my kitchen door â€" all with catâ€"size holes. It‘s either Weggie, or I have ants that escaped from Stephen King‘s last movie. It‘s just fortunate that â€" at less than two years old â€" Weggie is protected by The Young Cat Offenders Act â€" otherwise, I‘d have disciplined the litâ€" tle bugger/beggar by now. Once, when I heard the digging in progress, I threw a bucket of water Syzan Talo from the outside at the door. By the time I got into the kitchen, there he was sitting calmly at the edge of this little lake on the floor, having himself a drink. What could I do? You can‘t whack a guy for having a drink. If you could, my name would be Welt not Yet another time, in the middle of the night, I heard the snapping of wire mesh, so I crept into the kitchen with a rolled up newspaper and right there, at the bottom righthand corner, I smacked the cowering, dark culprit PUD * The Municipal Offices will be closed *« Community Services Committee 7:30 p.m. â€" Oakville Room * Administrative Services Committee 7:30 p.m. â€" Bronte Room Wednesday, August 3 * Planning Development Council 7:30 p.m. â€" Council Chambers Tuesday, August 2 Monday, August 1 Oakville Transit wants to remind all Oakville residents using the GO train to attend events in Toronto, that there are two special night run buses that depart from the Oakville GO station at 12:25 a.m. and 1:25 a.m. For further information ~ please call 815â€"2020 THE INSTALLATION OF CENTRAL AIRâ€"CONDITIONERS REQUIRES A BUILDING PERMIT For further information, please contact the Building Services Department at 845â€"6601 ext. 3186 or 3187. 1225 TRAFALGAR ROAD + OAKVILLE, ONTARIO + L6KH 2L1 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER OF OAKVILLE 845â€"6601 Oakville Transit five, maybe seven times, in all. Yes, standing naked and still mostâ€" ly asleep, I gave my rubber boots the thrashing of their lives. No sir, they‘re never ever going to try to escape at night again. Meanwhile, back in the bedroom, Weggie was circling a spot at the foot of the bed, just settling in for a good sleep. Did I mention â€" Weggie is smart and fast? One evening, as I‘m coming up from the lake, I heard the unmistakâ€" able sound of teeth and claws on screen mesh â€" on new screen number three. So I crept up to within 10 yards of the kitchen door and grabbed one of the rubber boots I‘d previously beaten half to death. Holding it just over my right shoulâ€" der in the quick toss position, I crouched behind a shrub and waited for the little monster to snap one more strand of wire. And I waited, patiently, I stayed so long is this contorted posture that I wasn‘t sure if I could resume a normal stance, ever. because this is the shot that‘s going to be heard around the neighborhood. And I waited, in this frozen, liveâ€" action pose, because I know when that boot hits the screen in front of his face, he will never touch another slidâ€" ing door as long as I let him live. And I waited in this coiledâ€"andâ€"readyâ€"toâ€" lunge position until my lower back went numb and my throwing arm fell asleep. And when I moved my neck to the left, to ease the pain in my shoulders, I saw him. You see the house makes an "L" shape around the kitchen patio, and there he was sitting in the living room window staring at me. He had been sitting in that window staring at me for the entire 20 minutes I stood like a statue of a man holding a rubber HOLIDAY GARBAGE COLLECTION NORMAL HOLIDAY PICKâ€"UP REVISED PICKâ€"UP Monday, August 1 Tuesday, August 2 Tuesday, August 2 Wednesday, August 3 Wednesday, August 3 Thursday, August 4 Thursday, August 4 Friday, August 5 Friday, August 5 Saturday, August 6 Garbage must always be placed at the curbside by 700 a.m. on your collection day.
