Today is your day Boomer! I don't know about you, but people all around me are getting COVID. And I guess because most are experiencing relatively-mild symptoms, they are not too concerned. For example, most people are not wearing masks anymore...in all types of situations, indoors and outside. And even if they do get the virus, they take the at-home test, self isolate for awhile, and they are done. So, how bad is it in Canada? A recent poll indicates almost one in four has had COVID! And "the more social you are — going out to restaurants, bars, and concerts — makes you a little bit more vulnerable to getting the disease. Vaccination status also played a role, with 38 per cent of unvaccinated respondents saying they had been infected compared to 20 per cent of their vaccinated counterparts". For many of us, it seems like a non-issue now....almost like "if we ignore it, it will go away completely" attitude. Good luck.....hospitalizations are going up and Boomers, let's not forget that COVID is more dangerous for older people who have pre-existing medical conditions....like us! I, for one, am still being very careful....wearing a mask, keeping my distance, and washing my hands. Stay vigilant, I say. 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....
