Meteorologists were predicting the region would receive a 15 cm-thick blanket of snow by this morning.Because the mercury had dropped to below zero, most of it stayed with us rather than melting as it hit the ground.Another couple of centimetres are expected to fall today as the temperatures hover just above zero, but most of the white stuff should disappear this weekend as meteorologists forecasted a balmier 10 degrees for Saturday and Sunday.Œ> TOYOTA KjicM rv\ov\d 2007 Yaris ® TOYOTA ® TOYOTA f^ic~hrv\ov\ol ¦ Details at Toyota Richmond Take advantage of the new eco auto rebate program $1000 rebate 2007 corona 5 speed manual s159/lnih •ËSgSkr s189/ i FIRST PAYMENT FREE! 2007 Corolla FIRST PAYMENT FREE!

Channell yesterday, the borough’s section chief of Recreation and Community Life.“We were afraid the participants would have to dig under the snow [to find the garbage]." And that was before the new snowfall greeting residents this morning.So this Saturday’s garbage cleanup has been put off until April 28.That day at 10 a.m„ the borough will provide volunteers with safety vests, gloves, rakes and garbage bags.“It’s open to the public.We usually get a strong percentage of the [Bishop’s] University’s environmental club.It depends on the weather, we can get 20 to 60 [people helping out]." After an hour of picking up other people’s garbage, volunteers get munchies and a guest speaker (though the lecturer has yet to confirm for the new date, so Channell doesn't want to give out a name).Who’s who in business The economic development agency the CLD Memphrémagog has published a roundup of the region’s manufacturing industry.The 2007 guide to factories and industry has all the basics: company name, contact information, the number of employees and details on what’s manufactured (in French and in English).The guide is $7 and can be ordered by mail, or you can pop by the CLD and pick it up in person (at 281 rue des Pins in Magog).Weather Today:Periods of snow (2 cm.) mixed with rain.High plus 3.Low minus 4.Saturday: Cloudy.High 10.Sunday: Cloudy with 60 percent chance of showers.Low zero.High 10.Monday: Periods of snow or rain.Low minus 1.High plus 4.Ben by Daniel Shelton I THINK youfd p^juSTAUTTLE ARE YOU YI THINK SO."8®^ sueeIheseemepto y.THAT5 A\X- J VAVWjJ FEEL BETTER T(-ri ^~\S\ RIGHT AFTER \ [ LETT1N6 our A PISH WILL ££ PlNE,&7Y5 fekqjhhh., :-— niK ni RECORD Friday, April 13, 2007 page 3 ‘People are tired of not knowing what they are eating’ < ajinc VàÛWi Call : Dara Jane Loomis r!n& Aff.Real Estate Agent Sutton de 1'Estrie, Magog DARA JANE LOOMIS Cell: 8iQ 574-7804 Off: 8iQ 847-5400 tShXVruCii rtul’OO cc tPO-T1» irtioo - 4» (ttV*
