I'd have to wait for another snow fall to fill in that tunnel in the snow I had to make, to get out; meanwhile, a lot of cold air would be blowingin on me. Why should I leave my nest and dreams of green • grass and garden lettuce from the Haugh,Bowers and Martin bounty to go out in the cold? Not me. I'm hibernating until about April when the warm sun shines down and melts all this white stuff and those neighbourhood kids on their noisy snowmobiles are reduced to walking and kite flying. • REACH DISTRICT ANAL — Karen Davison's rink from the Exeter curling club reached the final round of the Provincial ladies district curling championships losing in the final to Listowel.
