Scott Payne spent nearly two decades working undercover as a biker, a neo-Nazi, a drug dealer, and a killer. But his last big mission at the FBI was the wildest of all. Had to burn Bibles. I have never had to burn an American flag. And I damn sure was never with a group of people that stole a goat, sacrificed it at a pagan ritual, and drank its blood. And I did all that in about three days with these guys.

Sports are not exactly my sports way, but I keep it to the social stuff. Cool. That's all right. Well, and student council, is there a big council? And how much of a responsibility do they have for student activities? So it gives like a great group of students that meet every week and they really work to help encourage school spirit and culture. So, you know, we'll put on spirit days or get involved.
like right now there's a student vote for the upcoming federal election so we're doing that we did one for the provincial so it's like it's a bit of um you know politics a bit of leadership and a lot of Nice. Well, I don't want to brag, but back at Martin Collegiate in 1983, I was the president of the student council for my school. Lovely, lovely. It was great. I remember the election campaign, because you had to run, right? I ran against someone.
If someone were to dig out the yearbooks from Martin Collegiate, they would see the year before when I ran that we put, we created these big paper mache. hats covered in cotton balls, and it was something like, Schwab your ears and vote for Schwab or something like that. It was just a stupid thing when you do it in high school. Yeah.
But hey, when you're young, goofy, that's what you do. All right. And so, Megan, what sorts of things? Do you have Madeline enrolled in other stuff? Does she do other activities outside of school? Yeah, she's in gymnastics, which she loves, and we do swimming lessons on and off because we do spend a lot of time around water, so we want her to be safe. Yeah, all right.

Harry Dingley lives in that area. We're just devastated by it. It's very disturbing. I mean, I moved here to retire. No one told us there was any change. We invested money in this property.
And now if they shut it down, my property is worthless. So why was Highway 579 closed? Was this the ferry that was out of commission? That's exactly it. Part of Highway 579 is a... and Transport Canada said it had to be taken out of the water, and then it was put back in the water this week, and it is in operation again for now.
