We nearly forgot that March 12th is National Pancake Day. It really creped up on us this year! You butter believe it would have been waffle if we had missed it. We probably would have flipped out, because you know our motto is ‘the more pancakes, the batter!’ We once had a roommate who hated pancakes, so we had to celebrate National Pancake Day syruptitiously. Thank goodness those days are over! Now we can go out and celebrate our love of all things pancake - like the new movie with a huge pancake monster in it that we saw last night. We enjoyed it, even though it was critically panned.
Manitoulin Secondary School’s show, Something Rotten! was a smashing success! The lights! The costumes! the music! Congratulations to all the students who put so much of themselves into the show, both on stage and behind the scenes. We hope you get a well-deserved rest over March break.
Happy Birthday to Shirley F and Arthur H, who are both turning 29 this week! Celebrating you both on your birthday week is a piece of cake!
The fire hall is no more! In just a couple of days, crews had it down to the foundation. We can’t wait to see the new building go up. For bulk water users, a new quick-fill station has been set up at the water treatment plant (75 Beach Street). It has options for 2” and 3/4" fill spigots. Remember to bring your clean Cam-lock female fitting to connect to the 2” option. Contact the town office for more information (tmills@billingstwp.ca)

Just in case you think that if you throw a bunch of books in the water you’ll get a title wave, know that what you’ll really get is an enraged librarian giving you a piece of her mind. Have a great week!
