Today is your day Boomer! I guess the writing is on the wall for me.....and maybe for many Boomers. Our days of meat eating seem to be numbered. Yes, the medical community is telling us to reduce or eliminate red meat from our diets; my kids have all gone meatless in their personal diets; my heart condition is always on my mind; and social media is helping to sway the issue as well. By the way, the high cost of meat at the grocery store is also a big factor. So.....gone are the days of a big barbequed, juicy steak dominating my plate with a cob of corn and salad. Also gone is reams of ribs dripping with sauce and a baked potato. And whatever taco thing you see in this picture is really gone! Boomers, let's stick to fish, which is good for you, and gradually reduce our meat consumption. We'll live longer and feel better! Cheers and go "plant".
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
