Your friendly neighbourhood journalists are onto a hot story - a mystery of enormous size and consequence. It has come to our attention that the tried and true party game “Swedish Dinkie” is woefully unknown off-Island. We have reached out to numerous non-Islanders and all report having never heard of the popular party game involving a tennis ball in a nylon tied around one’s waist. We didn’t even find anything about it on the interwebs, outside of one video on the Ellen show. Is it a conspiracy? Is Big Nylon trying to shut down the party industry? We are on the case and won’t rest until we discover the truth!
Happy birthday wishes go to Lisa L this week. She has made at least 29 circuits around the sun: quite the achievement! We hope you are celebrating in style!

The rink ice is slowly but surely setting up. It isn’t quite ready for skating yet but we are hopeful we’ll get the go-ahead soon. For now, volunteers are asking everyone to stay off the ice so it has a chance to form a solid base.
The fire hall is still off-limits for safety reasons. Please utilize the water at the public works garage at 34 Carter Crescent. Please be mindful of the bay doors, and do not leave your vehicle unattended.
Last week we were sold a fake number puzzle. It was a pseudo-ku. Have a good week!
