The Kipling Graduating Class of 2008 held a graduation ceremony at the Kipling High School Gymnasium on Saturday, June 14, 2008. The grand march and dance was at the Kipling Recreation Centre following the ceremonies.
Kipling School Graduation ceremonies were held Saturday, June 14, 2008 with 30 graduates. Their theme was “Dream. Believe. Achieve. REMEMBER.”
Cool temperatures continued to delay crop development across the Prairies last week. Temperatures were three to five degrees below normal across most of the region. The cool temperatures were accompanied by moderate heavy rains with the heaviest amounts (50-100mm) falling in southern growing regions. Northern regions received light, scattered precipitation with amounts from 10-20mm.
Important requirements for delivering grain: Farmers must have an active CWB permit to book and delivery contract signed up before they can receive a cash ticket for grain delivered to an elevator in 2008-09. Cash tickets will only be issued to producers with an active CWB permit book and delivery contract signed up. Farmers can renew their permit book at the elevator or online through CWB e-Services. To sign up for CWB e-Services, visit www.cwb.ca/public/cn/e-services/register/ .
The Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) will send farmers a final payment of $50.781 per tonne for the feed barley they delivered to Pool A during the 2007/08 crop year. Cheques will be mailed to farmers on June 27, 2008 or directly deposited on June 24, 2008. The Pool A feed barley pool ran from August 24, 2007 to January 31, 2008. This final payment represents the balance of the money owing to farmers after their feed barley has been marketed through the CWB, and after operating costs have been deducted.

We live in a world that has suddenly exploded with ways in which to communicate. We can phone, fax or e-mail. One can also chat online in a chat room or catch up with friends on Facebook, or we can communicate with loved ones through text messaging. I admit that I would just love to text someone, but unfortunately don’t have a cell phone with that particular function. I have been at times quite tempted to get one of those cute little “Blackberry Pearl.” phones. Members of my family though warn me that I would most likely have a difficult time learning how as I’m not too good with technology, and as well, I don’t know who I would text with. Any offers out there?
From watching text message exchanges on television though I would have to learn a whole new language as text messaging seems to have a unique set of abbreviations that mean various things or so I understand.
In spite of the host of ways to communicate though, sometimes it seems that our world can still be filled with lack of communication, with misunderstandings, and with misinterpretation. Sometimes we just don’t understand where another person is coming from. What they are doing or saying or both don’t make a lot of sense to us. Even when we speak the same language the meaning of what we are saying can vary. I received an e-mail this week, entitled. “Say What? 21 Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn” Listen carefully as I share a few of these twenty-one reasons with you. The bandage was wound around the wound. The farm was used to produce produce. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. We must polish the Polish furniture. He could lead if he would get the lead out. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. The wind was too strong to wind the sail. Each phrase contains the identical word used at least one other context, where it bears another meaning! All of this can lead to a lot of confusion and we are just considering English, one language. In the Christian church on the day of Pentecost a miracle of understanding happened. All of these people were gathered together in one place. People from different countries who were speaking in different languages. Yet, when the Holy Spirit came upon those assembled there, everyone could understand the message that the disciples had to share.
Let us pray today that we be given a gift of understanding. Let us endeavour to better understand our family members, our neighbours and our friends. Better communication in our world will lead to better relations between nations. Maybe ever to peace. That’s something to get excited about.

Over the past couple of weeks, veganism grabbed the spotlight in many media outlets. Much of this attention is attributed to Oprah’s 21-day cleanse, which omits animal products as well as caffeine, sugar, alcohol and gluten.

Every summer communities across the country plan events to celebrate warm weather while encouraging people to venture out of their homes and become involved in the community. Kipling and the surrounding communities are no exception. Each community organized at least one event to be held at some point during the summer.
The transition to flip-flops and popsicles is complete, yet the question of what to do to stay active is common, and the answer is so easy! GET OUTSIDE.
