Can't wait to see a ball game with my dad
What I'm really looking forward to
this weekend is spending a day with my
dad at the ballpark. We are going to see
my Boston Red Sox play their division
rivals, the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.
One of my favourite things in the
world is going to a ball game, especially
with my dad. It's the smell of stale
beer and hot dogs that gives me that
summer feeling and there's n
better than having a couple dogs and
a beer watching some baseball.
I will of course be wearing all of
my Red Sox gear to the game,
jersey and all. I have to support
my team even if I'm in enemy
tenitory. I can take the heck-
ling. 111 have a Jays fan with
me in my dad, so I- think I'll. be
alright.
It's a good feeling to get heckled
sometimes, because I attended a game in
Toronto in 2007 where I watched the
Jays beat the Sox by a narrow margin of
24. •
Unfortunately we took the Min into
the city and my dad, brother and I had to
walk through Union Station after the
game while I got lit up by all the raucous
Jays fans.
It's actually a good memory for me
because that year Boston won the World
Series and Toronto didn't quite make the
playoffs.
This Sunday will be the first time the
Jays and Red Sox meet each other in
Toronto and there will for sure be
some animosity between fans as
they sit one and two atop of the the
American League East division.
I wally want Boston to win, but
I'llalso be there to revel in the
ambience of being surrounded
by thousands of cheering fans
while watching one of my
favourite sports.
still have a dream of going to
Fenway Park, which is where Boston
plays. Just imagine me sitting near
Pesky's Pole or sitting near Ted
William's red seat in the light field
bleachers where he crushed a 502 foot
clinger, which is still a record today.
I can't wait to don my Red Sox cap,
and cheer on my beloved Sox. Go Sox
Go!
Grey Bruce discus
In a May 15 mon to Board of
Health for the Grey Bruce Health Unit,
events over the last three weeks
required the Health Unit staff to turn to
our Pandemic Plan in the effort to pro-
tect the population from widespfead
infectious disease. Grey Bruce has
been fortunate to avoid confirmed
cases, at least at the time this is being
written.
The Grey Bruce Health Unit has
enacted our Pandemic Plan, Phase
Two, defined as the time when: "A
new *virus (pandemic) strain las been
detected in North America." Each of
our Incident Management System
(IMS) teams have met and put togeth-
er their action plans. Most of the activ-
ity has been with the surveillance and
the communication groups.
•Surveillance has been greatly assisted
by our emergency room electronic syn-
dromic surveillance system, which, as
of May 7, has not showed any local
•alerts.
The National Research Council has
provided for the project researchers in
Ottawa to make some additions to our
system, allowing us to follow "influen-
za like illness" (ILI) as a syndrome.
This will save considerable time when
we monitor the reports looking for ILI.
Investigations of people meeting the
case definition have been ongoing. We
have received positive influenza
;es.the. HINI Flu
reports, but at this time they have all
been the strain of influenza A that was
circulating in the area over the winter,
not the new variant 111N1 strain. The
communications group has tnade daily
infonnation updates to the media and
to our allied health groups and part-
ners. We have met with hospitals,
long-tenn care facilities and discussed
the situation with the two school board
directors and Emergency Management
Services.
We will be evaluating the public
Citizen Readiness Strategy which is a
series of targeted activities to "raise
awareness, knowledge and hopefully
result in behaviour change to help pro-
tect Canadians before and during an
Influenza Pandemic." This campaign
has targeted all Canadians. If you now
know more about: the influenza virus;
washing your hands; sneezing and
coughing so that you don't infect oth-
ers; and staying home when you are
feeling unwell; you have heard the
message! This strategy has been
planned over the past two years by the
Public Health Agency of Canada and is
being shared with the provinces and
territories so this common message is
sent to all Canadians.

10 years ago - May 26 1999
- Over the weekend of May 22-23, the Avon Maitland
District School Board and the Elementary Teacher's
Federation, Avon Maitland Local, reached a tentative agree-
ment for the 1998/99 and 1999/2000 school years.
- Elementary school vice -principals in the Bluewater
District -School Board will be spending most of their tune
teaching in the classroom for the Fall of 1999. Board vice -
chair Ron Motz said funding tied to enrollment means few
schools qualify to give their vice -principals time out of the
classroom to do adminiptrativ6 work.
On May 13, 1999 the dreams of 80 special children from
Southwestern Ontario came true, as The Sunshine
Foundation of Canada flew its 34th 'Sunshine Dream to
Disney.' The Dreainlift is a one -day whirlwind adventure for
children who are challenged by severe physical:disabilities or
life-threatening illness.
yeisrs ago-- M'y 24, 1989
- Thirteen people, in addition to the Lucknow village coun-
cil, attended a special meeting called on May 18,1989 to deal
with the Sunday Shopping issue. After all was said and done,
nothing changed in the village. The bylaw remained as is
with gas stations, resourants and convenience stores being
allowed open on Sundays.
- As of Apri.1 26,1989 the local arena and recreation boards
have amalgamated. According to chairman Geome Gibson,
the 'amalgamation will save money and simplify communica-
fion.
50 years ago - May 21 1959
An inquest was held in the Lucknow Town Hall last
Friday morning into the truck -train collision on May 15,
1959, which claimed the life of William R. Hamilton, age 76,
of Huron Township.
- The Lucknow District High School auditorium was dec-
orated in blue on May 22, 1959 for the annual spring dance,
which featured the crowning of the school queen. The honour
went to 17 -year-old Marion Reavie.
