After attending the
`Re:Action4lnclusion' con-
ference in Orillia last fall, the
Inclusion Group at FE Madill
applied for and received a
grant from Community Liv-
ing Ontario for a project at
the school.
The aim of this project was
to promote inclusion of all
people at school as well as in
the community.
As part of the Fight Exclu-
sion at Madill, the group
had Nick Foley come to
speak to at the school on
May 3, 2016.
Foley talked about how lit-
tle things you say and do can
make a difference in making
everyone feel welcome at
our school. Grade 6 students
from Maitland River
Elementary School joined us
for the assembly.
He lead a session for the
Inclusion Group after to help
us make our vision turn into
missions that we can do.
Fight Exclusion at Madill
t -shirts were handed out as
part of our project.
The Inclusion Group will
be continuing to spread the
message that "Labels are for
Soup, not People!'

Lucknow 4H Beef Club recaps two meetings,
Metske memorial award discussed
Michaela Rodger
Lucknow 4-H
The second meeting of the
Lucknow 4-H Beef Club was
held at Lucknow United
Church on May 4.
We started the meeting with
the 4-H pledge and took a
moment of silence for a mem-
ber we sadly lost in the previous
week, Brandon Metske. The
minutes from the last meeting
and the treasures report were
read. Afterwards, we discussed
when certain sheets are due
and what to do if you have a
companion animal and about
the next fundraiser.
The fundraiser was held
on May 7 at Home Hardware
in Lucknow. Then we dis-
cussed our ideas about a
having a memorial award for
Brandon Metske.
Our guest speaker for this
meeting was Ed McGugan
from Britespan. He had a very
informative slide presenta-
tion that showed us different
barn designs and different
materials used on these
barns, which have certain
purposes. Ventilation seems
to have a big effect on beef
Lobb lobbies MPs to spend their summer vacation in Huron -Bruce
Visit Huron -Bruce with
your summer vacation, is
the message the area's Con-
servative MP Ben Lobb told
the House of Commons in
early May.
Prior to question period,
Lobb told the other MPs of
Lucknow's Music in the
Fields, Kincardine's Scottish
Festival, the Dungannon
Tractor Pull and of other
events and activities
occurring in his riding in a
bid to convince them along
with the public to visit this
summer.
"Mr. Speaker, spring is in
the air, summer is around
the corner, and Canadians
from coast to coast are plan-
ning their summer vaca-
tions. I recommend the rid-
ing of Huron -Bruce to take
their vacation. With over
100 kilometres of shoreline,
featuring beautiful beaches,
boating and some of the
most beautiful sunsets in
the country, they should
check it out.
With the Blyth Theatre,
Huron Country Playhouse,
historical lighthouses,
museums, renowned golf
courses, hiking trails, bik-
ing trails, triathlons, the
Kincardine Scottish Festi-
val and Highland Games,
the Goderich Celtic Roots
Festival, Lucknow's Music
in the Fields for country
music, Dungannon tractor
pull, the Walton motocross,
camping around the riding
in our beautiful provincial
parks and some of the best
restaurants our country has
to offer, Canadians should
visit Huron -Bruce and
make 2016 a summer to
remember."
Huron County Animal Centre - Don't leave pets unattended in hot vehicles
"I left the window down
for him" or "I wasn't going to
be gone long."
The issue of owners leav-
ing their pets in their vehi-
cles during the hot summer
months, putting animals'
safety at risk and even caus-
ing death, is an ongoing
problem across Ontario.
There is no excuse for leav-
ing a pet unattended in a vehi-
cle and this summer we need
the public's help to share this
important message.
The Ontario SPCA Huron
County Animal Centre, in
partnership with SPCAs and
Humane Societies from
across Canada, has launched
the 2016 No Hot Pets
campaign, to educate the
public on the dangers of
leaving pets unattended in
vehicles during the summer
months.
Parked cars can quickly
reach deadly temperatures,
even on relatively mild days
with the car parked in the shade
and the windows slightly open.
Through the No Hot Pets
online forum, citizens are
asked to share the dangers of
leaving pets in vehicles using
the hashtag #nohotpets. In
addition, pet owners are
asked to go online to nohot-
pets.ca and pledge to not
leave their pets in their
vehicles.
Those who pledge will
receive a free No Hot Pets
window decal for their vehi-
cles (while supplies last).
"Leaving your pet unat-
tended in a vehicle is one of
the most irresponsible
things an owner can do,
leave your pet at home and
if you must take your pet
make sure that someone is
with it at all times," said
Tamara Minns, Animal Cen-
tre Coordinator, Ontario
SPCA Huron County Animal
Centre. "During the hot
summer months, let's keep
everyone safe and cool."
Dogs have a limited ability
to sweat; even a short time in
a hot environment can be
life-threatening. A dog's
normal body temperature is
about 39°C and a tempera-
ture of 41°C can be with-
stood only for a very short
time before irreparable brain
damage or even death can
occur.
If heat stroke is suspected
(excessive panting and drool-
ing, listlessness or uncon-
sciousness) prompt veterinary
medical attention is vital. In
the meantime, wet the fur
immediately with lukewarm
to cool water, not cold water.
Bring the pet into the shade
and offer drinking water.
If you observe an animal
suffering in the heat, call
310 -SPCA (7722) 24/7 or
your local police.
SUDOKU
animals. A gift was given to
Ed as a show of our apprecia-
tion. Then we got divided into
three groups to create our
own barn design. The three
types of barns were a feed lot,
cow/calf barn, and a show
barn. As Ed stuck around to
rotate the room and help us
members, the meeting was
adjourned with snacks.
The first meeting of the
Lucknow 4-H Beef Club was
held at Lucknow Arena on
April 13. We started the meet-
ing off with the 4-H pledge.
To get to know everyone,
Christine Maclntyre (Leader)
did the meetings roll call. As eve-
ryone gathered in a circle, we
had to say our name, why you
do 4-H, and one thing on your
bucket list. When everyone
returned to their seats, we voted
on our new executive for this
year. Which are the following:
President - Brad Maclntyre,
Vice President - Maggie
Durnin, Secretary - Sarah
Durnin, Treasurer - Tyler
Murray, and Press Reporter -
Michaela Rodger.
Next our club went over
our financial balance, as well
as show and meeting dates.
We discussed about having a
companion animal with
their 4-H project and going
for the gold competition and
putting in a team.
As the meeting was short and
sweet, we watched the "Social
Media Revolution Video" and
certain parts of "Temple Gran -
din." Temple Grandin is an
autistic woman who under-
stands animals verywell. As she
spent the summer at her Aunt's
and Uncle's ranch, she became
very interested in cattle. She
relates her life into the cattle
world as she payed close atten-
tion on how cattle act/feel. Our
meeting was adjoumed.
