OPP In Hot Pursuit Of Chemong Moose

Developing... The Chemong Moose that is the talk of the town and county today (April 30th)—and already has its own Twitter account—is now walking on the road. And the OPP are closely monitoring the situation to keep the animal safe, with the moose last spotted heading east on the 5th line. Alex Bushell tweeted these photos below of the "pursuit"... [UPDATE: The latest is the moose has wandered off into the woods again.]

Style File Three: Look -> What's Your Style Peterborough?

Patrick McAuley

In the Spotlight: Patrick McAuley
Ash's Style File Notes: Patrick McAuley is a downtown businessman, a Real Estate Agent who likes to stay away from the Basic Black Suit. Sure he has one, but he gravitates towards pieces with a bit more flare and steers clear of anything ill fitting. Today, he is wearing a Jacket, Vest and Shirt all from Plush Boutique. His trousers are from Top Man in Las Vegas. His tie brings in that little pop of Spring and fun that lets you know even before he smiles, that he's a pretty happy guy.
What Patrick says about his style... "I like a modern business look with British and pioneer influences. My inspiration is from The Beatles. I love that look."

CIty Issues Alert On Blowing Recycling Boxes & Recyclables

From a City of Peterborough alert today...

Blowing Recyclables
High winds are forecast to continue throughout today and tomorrow. Residents who have collection on Wednesday are asked to please hold onto your blue boxes until Wednesday morning, rather than setting them out the night before. This will help to reduce blowing recyclables and blue boxes.
Try not to over-fill blue boxes, and place paper and flattened cardboard sideways in your "Fiber and Plastic Film" box, rather than piling upwards. Do your best to place lighter materials in a secure spot (e.g. put clear plastic trays underneath heavier steel and glass containers).
Residents are encouraged to write their address on their blue boxes, so they can be identified and returned if they should blow away from your property. Lost blue boxes cannot be replaced for free.
For more details, please call the City of Peterborough Waste Management Division at 705- 742-7777, extension 1657.
