Today is your day Boomer! Today is your day to wake up at the same time, but actually gain one hour on your Sunday! Yes, it us that dreaded day for some people when we turn our clocks back one hour to Standard Time. By the way, only some Canadian provinces do this. Saskatchewan doesn't; BC and Ontario are considering a change based on what their US state counterparts(like Washington and New York) will change to. It is all about business and communication. Naysayers and so-called experts state many reasons NOT to change: car crashes, depression, lower productivity, and increased medical risk for strokes and heart attacks. For Boomers, I say keep the change in spring and fall. We like to get up early and exercise.....it is lighter starting today. We can be seen on the roads easier. Driving to work in the morning is not a problem for most of us and late evenings in the spring is awesome for recreational activities like golf, biking, and walks. Most of us can adapt to time change quickly. Think of airplane travel to different time zones.....most Boomers are good after a few days, a few activities, and a few drinks. So, naysayers I say "lighten up"....be flexible, and enjoy change and variety in our daily lives! Happy Standard Time and have a great, activity-filled day. Cheers!
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....
