St-Thomas Aquinas was bursting at the seams during the 10 th annual Living Lo- cally Fair. Hundreds of people strode in and out of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School on Saturday, January 20, during Russell’s Living Locally Fair. The fair showcased al- most 150 local businesses and community organizations throughout the entire day. These included farms, food stands, artisans, and community groups, amongst others. The entire school was filled with kiosks. The hallways, the common areas and the classrooms were all full of local businesses giving out food and drink samples, selling clothes and artisan products or providing information. There was plenty of food to choose, including Gordz Hot Sauce, Mag- gie’s Shortbread, Garland Sugar Shack and Genuine Girard Food.

Ice warning The OPP warn ice fishing fans, snowmobilers and winter ATV trail riders to be wary of going onto any rivers, lakes, or ponds at this time. Some streams, like the South Nation River, are just starting to freeze over again after having open water in January, as a result of the warm weather, and rainfall during the beginning of the month. The Ottawa River is ice-covered for the most part but may have sections of weak or “rotten” ice that can pose potential drowning hazards to anyone riding across on a vehicle or walking across on snowshoes or cross-country skis. Areas where ice fishing huts are in place should be checked for both the condition and depth of the existing ice, to make sure it is still safe. Snowmobilers are advised to go to the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs website at www.ofsc. on.ca to check the status of local trails and winter ice conditions. – Gregg Chamberlain
