I am inspired by young Oakville. On Sept. 28, 17 teams, each with four humans, participated in the Amazing Race Against Time, raising more than $7,000. A round of elephant trumpeting for Jill Zimmerman and her team. Congrats to the four winning teams: Hilary, Brett, Elyse and Cedric from the Fantastic Four in first place; Adie, Kathrine, Jill and Amanda from the Highlighters in second; Emily, Kiersten, Emma and Christine from The Rockets in third; and Brad, Michael, Carl and Ahmed (minus one who was sick) from the UN Crew in fourth. From the opening puzzle to the final clues, the teams -- teens to those in their early 20s -- worked hard racing between Appleby College and downtown Oakville. Aissatou Diajhate of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, brought congratulations after the barbecue courtesy of M&M Meats. (I preferred shrubbery at Appleby near the lake ­ tasty leaves.) The human participants and volunteers were thanked for their important efforts to help with the AIDS crisis in Africa. Such commitment brought a tear of gratitude to my elephant eye. Did you know that elephants can count and figure out small arithmetic addition problems? Human scientists have observed elephants counting apples in a basket and choosing a fuller basket when apples are added. I need to count to 36 to support the next $Million Or More Oakville ($MOMO) event: Metres or More. The challenge is to fill a metre of red ribbon with 36 toonies by the end of October -- $72 for each metre. One or two toonies a day will make it easy to afford, I think. An entire kilometre of ribbon would result in a $72,000 donation to $MOMO's target of $1 million for the Stephen Lewis Foundation. You can pick up your one or more metres of red ribbon at the Courtesy Desk at Oakville Place. Great support from the a shopping centre I think. All your ribbons will be displayed on Saturday, Oct. 25. Imagine how proud you will be if Oakville achieves the $72,000 goal. Halla is a 12-year-old female African Savannah elephant working with $Millions or More Oakville ($MOMO) to support the Stephen Lewis Foundation and the fight against AIDS in Africa.
