To find out which of the six polling stations you can vote at, check the voters' list (available at the public library, city hall, Weaver and Devore, Canadian Tire, Northern Fancey Meats and the Co-op) or contact returning officer Debbie Euchner at city hall.

Dry day

Just a reminder to those planning to go out for a drink Monday -- don't plan on having one any time before 8 p.m.

While polling stations are open, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., all bars and the liquor store will be closed.

Just sports

Blake Lyons appears to be courting the sporting vote. Whether by co-incidence or design, all of Lyons' election newspaper ads have appeared in the sports section.

Asked about it last week, Lyons said the placement was pure coincidence, adding he'd get more support from players on his hockey team if he popped a goal one of these years.

Unwelcome flyers

At least one candidate is leaving unwelcome deposits in her wake.

A clerk at a downtown store said Peggy Near came in to ask for support in her bid for a council seat and, without asking, left a stack of promotional brochures on the counter.

Tsk, tsk.

Friendly foes

Relations between members of the current council haven't suffered because two aldermen are challenging for the mayor's seat.

Following Monday's meeting of council, Vi Beck, Ruth Spence and Dave Lovell, among other members of council got together for a few drinks.

Protecting the fort

There's nothing like campaigning to bring home a profound awareness of the number of dogs in the city.

Dogs continue to keep door knocking candidates on their toes. One candidate reported dogs at three out of every four homes he visited.

The defensive weapon of choice for candidates this year, as it was last election, is a pocket full of Kibbles.

Um, excuse me ...

What are your impressions of the municipal election campaigns?

The election street-beat question might as well have been "How did the puppy roast turn out last night?" judging from the reaction of the majority of people approached.

Don't know, don't care, not interested, don't take my picture, leave me alone, were the most popular responses.
