EDITOR'S NOTES

Today we introduce a small change with a big meaning. We have removed “man” from our name plate in order for the second part of our name to be as open-minded as the first.

My oldest daughter decided to take her fledgling softball career to the next level this year by joining the traveling team for her age group. In doing so, she will be hanging out with girls from different grades and different schools.

The town I was raised in had a large lake that was enjoyed by many for recreation.

One summer, my brother decided to venture out onto the open water. He always enjoyed small-engine repair work and had acquired an old boat from our great uncle.

I recently attended the Progressive Dairy Operators Triennial Symposium in Toronto, Ontario. It occurred during a busy week for the Canadian dairy industry with the Western Canadian Dairy Seminar in Red Deer, Alberta; London Farm Show in London, Ontario; and Atlantic Farm Mechanization Show in Moncton, New Brunswick; all coinciding within five days.

This month, literary lovers around the world remember a man who inspired reading in children one rhyme at a time. Theodor Seuss Geisel, more commonly known as Dr. Seuss, passed away in 1991, but his beloved books continue to live on.

I was recently chatting about the dairy industry with someone who works in financing. She noticed I often referred to milk in the conversation but failed to mention other dairy products like yogurt, cheese and butter. “Aren’t those important too?” she asked.
