Couples were required to stay locked at the lips for three-hour stints, with 10 minute breaks each three hours. The winners, Craig and Kerri Jones, of Port Perry, won a Mediterranean cruise.

After hearing presentations presentations from two local councillors, MPP John O'Toole and a representative representative from the Newcastle Ratepayers' Association, the group tackled the task of forming forming a steering committee. committee. One of their first pieces of business will be to put together a set of bylaws for the committee committee and to do that Rev. Russell says they will use the bylaws of the Newcastle Ratepayers Association as a guide. Once that is complete, the steering committee will start to look at some of the concerns concerns raised at Thursday's meeting. "People at the meeting meeting gave us a whole list of concerns that we will need to look at," said Rev. Russell. 'T think it is very clear from the meeting that we would be an Orono and District association." Issues that residents want addressed range from emergency health services and policing to sewage services and sidewalks. "There was a wide range of issues indeed," said Rev. Russell.

Dollar$ & Sense with Deborah Kohlsmith Financial Consultant Time Really is More Valuable than Money Busy? Working hard but gaining no ground, trying to make mortgage and car payments? When it comes to thinking about those financial obligations on the horizon, many of us figure, "Who's got the time?" - let alone the money. Save for the kids' college, retirement, maybe a nice vacation? Get real! But by squeezing out a little time to make a financial plan, and investing small sums of money, you can make time your ally and move toward achieving the financial objectives you've set for yourself or, if you have one, your family. Say you want to retire in 20 years. So today you vow to invest $5,000 each year for the next 20 years at a seven percent annual compounding rate of return. That would amount to $204,977 in 20 years. But you don't make the investment - you wait a year. At the end of that original 20 year period, you'll have $ 186,895. That delay will have "cost" you over $ 18,000. By investing early and regularly, you'll take advantage of compounding. It's the flip side of making weekly instead of monthly mortgage payments. Paying weekly reduces a debt that much faster. Investing weekly provides the opportunity for faster growth. It makes sense to make time now, so you can make more money. It'll pay off in the long term. ©j.p, REGAL CAPITAL PLANNERS LTD. 108 King Street Best, Bowmanville, Ont.
