In the event youre confused, Environment Canada has confi rmed that July weather in Ontario was hot. In some places it was hot and wet. In others it was hot and dry. The above-normal temper- atures about two degrees above normal continued into August when it took a bow on Tuesday the 1st. Although this area es- caped most of the sporadic severe weather rumbling around the province but single-day rainfall amounts exceeding 50 millimetres (about 2-inches) fell in nearby Kitchener on July 12. Monthly rain totals were well above normal but says Environment Canada without the extreme single- day storms rainfall would have been below normal for July. August usually introduces itself into dry, brown look- ing lawns and gardens. This year lawns are a vi- brant green and gardens are blooming in southern Ontario. Tornados? Weve had a few in July bringing the confirmed total to eight. Ontario normally is hit with 14 tornados from late April to early October, suggesting were ahead in 2006. Relief from the intense heat this week? Should be here today (Thursday) say the weather people. Most of us will be relieved. Well, its August already, and there are some chang- es at the Centre. Wendy Krever the coordinator of the Acton Seniors Centre will be taking on a new challenge. She will be the coordinator of both the Georgetown and the Acton Senior Centres temporar- ily, due to the retirement of Adrianna Lawless. Adri- anna has decided to take time to enjoy her family and grandchildren and have time for hobbies after a re- cent illness. Wendy will be in Acton on Mondays and Fridays, so we will still see her at the Friday lunches. She will be in Georgetown on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Sherrys hours will still stay the same. Wendy is happy with the new arrangement, and is looking forward to the challenge. At least she will not be commuting quite as far. When she and Bill lost their home in a disastrous fi re they were commuting from the family cottage in Midland. Needless to say that wasnt very pleas- ant over the winter. Their Campbellville home is now completed, and they are busy settling in. See you at the Leather- town Festival. We will have a display of crafts, carvings and paintings made by our members featuring some of the different activities at the Centre. We will also have memberships for sale. During August you can take advantage of one months free membership, and then in September during the membership drive pay the pro-rated fee for the re- mainder of the year and 2007. Paper Tole and scrap booking are continuing during August. If you are interested call Margaret Dodgson 519 -853- 8855. There will be euchre on August 16 at 7:15 p.m., no lunch, but there will be prizes. Everyone who en- joys playing euchre is most welcome. If the hot weather keeps up (or even if it doesnt), dont forget it is always cool at the Seniors Centre. You can either come in and have a chat with the person at the front desk, or pick up a book and enjoy reading. We also have quite an as- sortment of magazines that you are welcome to borrow, or read in the comfortable lounge area. There is cold water in the cooler, and an assortment of cold drinks in the refrigerator for a nominal price, or a cup of coffee. The August Rama trip will be on Wednesday, Au- gust 30. Septembers trip will be on Thursday, Sep- tember 28. Thats correct, Thursday just for the one month. Dont forget if you cant make it please let Ruth know, as there is always a waiting list. If you would like more information call Ruth at 519-853-5124. Halton Hills is reminding residents that in the event the Region issues a Heat Alert or they are suffering from the heat, the Town has designated cooling centres for their relief. Those most at risk in- clude older adults (65+), infants and young chil- dren, and the chronically ill, including people with asthma. The public is en- couraged to call or visit family and neighbours who may be at risk. We want our residents to know that they have cool, safe places to go to escape from the heat says Mayor Rick Bonnette. We have been in touch with com- munity service providers to inform them of the Towns Cooling Centres as they deal first-hand with the people who may be most vulnerable. Cooling centres in Acton and area include the Acton arena, 415 Queen St. and Acton Public Library, 1 River St. Cooling cen- tres are also available in Georgetown at Mold- Masteres Sports Plex, 221 Guelph St.; Georgetown Library, 9 Church St. and the Gellert Centre, Eighth Line. Recreational swimming is also available at the Pros- pect Park wading pool and Acton Indoor Pool in Acton as well as the Gellert Splash Pad, Gellert Community Centre and Dick Licato Outdoor Pool. Other ways to beat the heat: Drink lots of water and natural fruit juices Stay out of the blazing sun or heat (UV rays are strongest between the hours of 11a.m. -1p.m.) Its been hot, hot, hot and humid Halton Hills cooling centres available to beat the heat Whats Your Beef?
