Today is your day Boomer! We don't hesitate to spend good money on a bottle of wine, so why not spend big dollars on luxury water? Well, Boomers, first off....most Canadians already have access to pretty good, high-quality fresh water. We don't necessarily want or need "luxury" water...but the same can't be said for other countries. Many third world nations struggle to find any source of water; they even desalinize salt water! But this new trend might be one you may want to try; for example, an eating establishment will try to sell you a fancy bottle filled with rainwater from the Amazon or spring water from the Himalayas! Only six dollars U.S. a bottle! According to Global News, "This 'fine water' is also drawn from volcanic rock in Hawaii, from icebergs that have fallen from melting glaciers in Norway, or from droplets of morning mist in Tasmania. Connoisseurs, some who study to become water sommeliers, insist this trend isn’t about snobbishness. They appreciate the purest of the pure." And spokesman Micheal Mascha adds "Having the right stemware, drinking at the right temperature, pairing it with food, celebrating with water – all those kinds of things are important.” Sounds like wine doesn't it? Boomers, a new option for you and your pocketbook! 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....
