Contrary to what some might think, the movie rental business is far from dead, and Kevin O'Callaghan is proving it! Already successful with his The Movie People location in Lakefield, Kevin has just opened a second location in Peterborough inside Game Stop One, in the Brookdale Plaza on Chemong Road. You'll find the top 50 releases, with more stock being added every week. Kevin has built up the Lakefield location over the last year with great selection and friendly staff. It's located at 140 Queen Street beside Tim Horton's. Check out www.themoviepeoplelakefield.formovies.com Golf club under new management 
Liftlock Golf Club has new management. David Sonley recently retired after 20 years and sold his interest to Gerry Mason and Kim Morris.
