|The South Marysburgh Mirror 9) Habitat for Humanity Bonspiel February 18 For the third season, curlers and want-a-be curl- ers will take to the ice on Saturday February 18 in Picton when 16 teams will be competing in a special charity fun Bonspiel to support of Habitat for Humanity Prince Ed- ward Chapter. The annual mixed Habitat for Humanity Charity Bonspiel will be a one-day fun competition as a mid- winter fundraising event in support of the Habitat for Hu- manity Prince Edward County Chapter. Habitat for Humanity Prince Edward Chapter completed two homes in 2005 in Picton and is working toward more home builds in the years ahead. Curlers in 3008 and 2005 helped raise the money to build the first two Habitat homes in Prince Edward County. The $100 team entrance fee will include a hot meal and prizes along with lots of curling fun. A total of 16 teams can be accommodated. “Teams can be mixed, all male, all female, what- ever people want to do. We just want to have some fun and raise money for Habitat,” said committee member Judith Ryan. Each team member will be asked to gather pledg- es on behalf of the Habitat Prince Edward County as part of the day’s activities. .

Experts have little to offer but self serving, over simplified, idiotic advice. Accord them the same level of credibility as campaign promises. Frogs just bury themselves in the leaf litter and freeze. Turtles dig into the mud and say bye-bye for the winter. Snakes, chipmunks and ground hogs hibemate. For a long time there were no known primates that hibemnated, but it has been recently discovered that the Madagascan fat-tailed dwarf lemur hibernates for as long as seven months, (and with a name I like that I’m not surprised), so maybe we could try it. But life is short, and this doesn’t seem like an appropriate answer. In the past, I have recommended taking a trip, even if only for a week-end. That doesn’t seem to be in the cards for me this year. I’ve been thinking strong drink might pep me up, and I know it definitely will for that brief period during which it is inflaming my brain, but the next day it will leave me exhausted, dizzy, sick and depressed. I can meet with friends who are as morose as I am, so no solace there. I know that happy, upbeat people really irritate me. Maybe the answer lies in making more people “woods queer’ and depressed. Maybe this article will help do that. I doubt it, but Tm sure trying. - George Underhill
