Her fellow teachers all tell me how she can just make up a poem or a song at any moment. So here is her goodbye song for the grade 4s that will he moving on next fall: It's time for us to leave you now. We're just too old to stay.

Starting July 15, Ontario Drug Benefit recipients will contribute a small amount toward their prescription costs. Ontario is the last province to introduce co -payments. How much you pay depends on your income. You will pay up to $2 per prescription if you are: • single, 65 or over, with a net income of Tess than $16,018 per year • a couple, both over 65, with a combined net income of Tess than $24,175 per year • living in a nursing home, home for the aged or home for special care • receiving welfare or family benefits • receiving home care You're 65 and your income is higher than the above? Then you pay the first $100 of your drug costs each year. After that, you'll pay only the ODB dispensing fee of up to $6.11 per prescription. You have extra health insurance from a private company? Call your company. It may cover co -payment costs. Call the Ministry of Health at 1-888-405-0405 if you have more questions.
