winter with fifty-three members playing at
least once," said David Townsend, coordi-

Club. "Last season the club accomplished a
lot from purchasing new nets, running a
club tournament, and vastly improving our
overall pickleball skills compared to our fust
season:'
When asked why he keeps playing,
Townsend replied, "it is a great social game,
you get a great work out, it's competitive
and we have lots of laughs':

few clubs that plays at night and we really
would like to fill the all the four courts every
night by increasing our membership in all

thank C.H.S.S. for painting proper non -vol-

the game.
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in
Ontario. It is a combination of tennis, bad-
minton and table tennis. The game is
played on a badminton size court with a
whiffle ball, about the size of a tennis ball;
and a solid smooth surface, short handled
paddle larger than a ping pong paddle.
The game is easy to leam and you do not
have to be a great athlete to play. Pickleball
is a great way to get active, keep active, and
have fun at the same time. It has great aero-
bics value.
If you are interested in playing come out
Tuesday nights or contact the club by

You may experience discoloured water coming from your tap. If this happens, we suggest you try the
following:
• Remove the tap aerators off your taps and flush the cold water house lines until it runs clear.
• Flush out your hot water tanks. This is to remove the accumulated iron that precipitates out in the
tank; this iron may also decrease the efficiency of your water tank.
You may experience lower than normal pressure as a result of the flushing activities. We apologize for
any inconvenience this may cause. OCWA will continue to work on the flushing programs to ensure
consumer satisfaction.
