Gordon Cranch In a recent issue of The Advocate, there was a copy of the valedictory address by Kimberley Wiens of Lomond. It was a refreshing boost to my feeling about young people and also on the way schools turn out graduates ill prepared to meet the real world head on. In the address, Kimberley speaks of the value of inner beauty, quite a contrast from the world's preoccupation with clothes, looks, and material goods. We live in a society that promotes the individual but in reality, we must have a support group, we must be part of a team to really succeed in today's world. There are only a very few truly capable of individual achievement. There is the fallacy out there that you can be anything that you want, anything that you put your mind to. That is just not true. According to my math, 23 individuals have been Prime Minister of Canada. 23 out of how many millions who have lived since 1867? And a few of those were ill equipped for the job, come to think of it. How many young hockey players aspire to the NHL? How many actually make it? Not that many. Think of all the rock star wannabe's. Thankfully most of their careers flame out and die a deserving death. But think of all the others who become doctors, nurses, teachers, farmers, bankers and so on. They live perfectly happy lives enjoying family life, building and contributing to communities throughout Canada. They have iearned how to be community leaders. They have learned how to form networks of friends and co-workers. In the same vein, I read of a Boston area teacher who was frank with his students. "You are not special. You are not exceptional." He was making a statement to parents "who overdo it. Focused on collecting achievements. You've been pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble wrapped...feted and fawned over. You see, if every one is special then no one is. If everyone gets a trophy, trophies become meaningless/ He pushed students to recognize real achievement: "The fulfilling life, the distinctive life, the relevant life is an achievement,"' and he encouraged graduates "to do whatever you do for no reason other than you love it and believe in its importance." Kimberley tells us: Don't think that our transformation from caterpillars into butterflies is now complete. Quite the contrary - I think it has only begun. It is a lifelong journey of learning and growing into the people God made us to be." For those of us who graduated many years ago, we can see the truth of this as we continue to adapt, to evolve and grow in a world that expands and contracts at the same time, where changes happen and we are left struggling to keep up. I don't think there is a status quo any more. This is true in my line of work. How to get the message to a world that is increasingly hostile to receiving it? But in that too - God will provide and prevail. See you in church.uty By Michel Offering: Pedicures Manicures Gellicure Manicures Gei Nails Eyelash & Eyebrow Tinting Call to book appointment today!

The instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft surface like grass or a path." "Gentlemen, remember — you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her. In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both." The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information. After a few moments a man, name unknown, at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand. "Yes?" said the Instructor. "I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?" In the pub... I was in a pub on Saturday night. Had a few beers.... I noticed two large women by the bar. They both had strong accents so I asked, "Hey, are you two ladies from Ireland?" One of them chirped: "It's WALES you friggin' idiot!" So, I immediately apologized and said..., "Sorry, are you two whales from Ireland?" That's the last thing I remember... Gardening with Grandma A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with this see- through blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to dare go out like that! The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!" And out she goes. The next day the teenager comes down stairs, and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate. The grandmother says, “Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rose buds, then I can display my hanging baskets." Happy Gardening.Milo Community School 2012-13 Milo Community School will be open to accept new registrations on the mornings of August 27—29th and also on the morning of August 31st.
