Fellow nerds! Team Fergmeijer wishes you a very happy Star Wars day today. May the fourth be with you! And enjoy tomorrow - the revenge of the 5th! As usual, we couldn’t let this geeky high holiday pass without some of our favourite jokes and puns. For example, how many Star Wars characters does it take to change a lightbulb? A lot, because many Hans make light work. What do you call a pirate droid?… Arrr2-D2! What did Yoda ride as a kid? A do-cycle. Because there is no tri.
Congratulations to Kagawong’s own Diane Larocque on being celebrated in last week’s The Expositor for Volunteer Week! We are so appreciative of everything she does to help make our township the best place to live on Manitoulin.
The Manitoulin Island Garbage Cleanup Event continues! Billings currently sits in 3rd place for Island townships, and the challenge has been extended until May 9th. See the Manitoulin Streams Facebook page for more information on the event, and find out how you can help Billings “clean-up” the competition!
The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) was flushing the water lines in Kagawong this week. Today (May 4) is the last day for the maintenance; if you notice any discoloration in the water, leave it running at the tap until it is clear.
Have you ever considered being part of the municipal council? Now is the time to make it a reality as Billings has posted their notice of nominations! Anyone interested in being a candidate for councillor or mayor in the upcoming municipal elections can register at the township office between now and August 19th. If you would like more information on what is involved in being on council or some helpful information on running a campaign, check out the new Vote Billings blog (https://votebillings.blogspot.com/). Whether you are thinking of running for council or not, don’t forget to register to vote!
In the spirit of the upcoming elections this year, Team Fergmeijer would like to give our loyal readers their notice of omnomnominations for most delicious sammich on Manitoulin. Candidates must be made on the Island, must meet the basic definition of a sandwich (as per Merriam Webster: two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between), and must be available to the public. To register your candidate, submit a picture of the sammich, a basic description of the sammich, and where people can get said sammich to fergmeijer@gmail.com. Omnomnominations close the last week of May. Voting will begin the first week of June. The sammich with the most votes gets bragging rights as the winner of the Team Fergmeijer Great Sammich Search 2022!
Are you a young person looking for a summer job? Billings Township has one public works student assistant position available still. Get your application and cover letter into the town office (kmcdonald@billingstwp.ca) ASAP!
If you or someone you love has a birthday coming up, let us know (fergmeijer@gmail.com). We’ll ‘honour’ the special occasion as only Team Fergmeijer can!
Looking to get involved in the community? Friends of the Billings Library (FOBL) is looking for members! They are an autonomous organization which holds 1-2 fundraisers each year to support the local library. If you are interested in joining, contact Rachel Valade (rvalade@gmail.com) for more information.
Speaking of the library… plans are in the works to revive the annual used book sale this summer! You can follow www.facebook.com/kagawonglibrary to stay in the loop on dates and times as information becomes available. What we do know at this point is that there will be A LOT of books!
Team Fergmeijer has been wondering, if two vegans get in a fight, is it still considered a ‘beef’? Have a great week!
