Hey I went to high school in Arva!!! Good old Medway High, and we use to fish for bullhead in the creek at the mill.

I might have to go back and check it out next time I am back visiting the folks.

Nope not a math geek, I liked math, just didn't bother with the competitions. I tried rowing for awhile in grade 9, but quick after awhile, too hard to get to Fanshawe Lake for practice, then switched to football in grade 10 and also started the Environment Club.

Well... Also worth checking out is Watson's Mill in Manotick (Ottawa) for flour and Bread (not open till May) and Upper Canada Village for cheese, flour, bread, and lumber as well (open May 5) and I am sure Lang Pioneer Village (Peterborough) must have stuff too.
