WE'RE BACK !
ARVA, ON - July 6, 2005 The
CATOWA COMMUNICATOR is now back on-line after an absence of several
months. My apologies for not getting an issue out during the
winter months. Now that the new season is upon us, I am
looking forward to bringing forth news as it happens rather than
waiting to publish articles quarterly.
If anyone has an article or interesting photo that they would like
to contribute, it would be appreciated. Just mail or e-mail it
to me at the address shown on the bottom right of this page. |

CAMBRIDGE, ON - July 16, 2005
Team
Zorra grind their teeth in the pouring rain and lean back as one
member hollers out "Get your feet in boy!"
All eight eight members
ignore the worsening weather; instead they dig their feet into the
mud and pull back chanting, "Yes, yes, yes, yes."

EMBRO, ON - July 1, 2005
Almost 112 years after five Zorra farmers cemented their place
in history, the tug of war championship continues to be the staple of
the Embro Highland Games.
The story of those farmers has become legend since their win in the
world championships on Aug. 3, 1893, when they defeated their old rivals
from Chicago.

well.
