By Patricia Barrett The Dr. George Johnson Middle School held a 50th Anniversary cel- ebration Oct. 5, paying tribute to the school’s namesake and taking guests on a trip down memory lane. “Whenever I hear people talk about Dr. George Johnson, I hear them talk about his community-mindedness, warmth and caring about others,” said principal James Gibbs to parents, teachers, school trustees and special guests gathered in the gymnasium where the fi rst-ribbon cutting cel- ebration was held in 1967. “Those are the values we’ve reinforced.” Gibbs provided an overview of how the school, which teaches grades 5 to 8, came into being.

Don’t spread the fl u.” Immuni- zation is especially important for those at increased risk HIM of serious illness from the fl u, their caregivers and close contacts. Immunization co-ordinator for Interlake–Eastern RHA FLU and public health nurse Melody Hawryluk says the region is expecting a good turn out this year. “We’ve had a relatively typical fall with cooler tempera- tures, and the leaves changing colour indicates to everyone that the days are getting shorter and fl u season is around the corner,” says Hawryluk. “The fl u vaccine is available to all Manitobans over six months of age at no charge. It is important to get the fl u vaccine every year because the viruses change from year to year and the protection pro- vided by the vaccine decreases over time. ” Flu shots are benefi cial to everyone but are especially im- portant for: · people 65 years of age and older · all children six months of age and older · personal care home residents · anyone with chronic health issues · health-care workers and fi rst responders · pregnant women 17102gmg · individuals of Aboriginal ancestry · people who are severely overweight or obese · those who share a household with any of those listed above Manitobans over the age of 65 should also get a pneumo- coccal shot at the same time as the seasonal fl u shot. Most adults only need one pneumococcal shot in their lifetime. People can talk to their public health nurse or health-care provider if they have questions about the fl u shot. Your lo- cal pharmacy may also be offering fl u vaccines as well.

So away they went the next day, and sitting in Fred’s ice shack, he announced, “They should start biting in about 10 minutes.” Like clockwork, Fred got a bite, and when it seemed snagged, he asked Barry to have a look. Barry kneeled, peering down the hole. Then he turned his head sideways, looking at Fred, saying, “All I can see is a pair of gigantic pickerel lips too big for the hole and your jig.” Fred responded, “ I can always catch another one. Get my jig — it’s my luckiest.” Bye till next week, friends. 8 The Express Weekly News Thursday, October 12, 2017 IERHA Fire destroys RV at Steep Rock Beach Park Campground $" 86$(7E6 !3877'$1733D$79 ""(2 7$#D32E7645$ #7'$%08D The annual seasonal fl u shot is available to all Manitobans at no charge.

The Gaynor Family Regional Li- brary recently hosted a memorial for the Suzanne-E, an 87-foot freighting vessel, which was caught in a storm and sank on Sept. 24, 1965. One of the main events of the memorial was a song about the ship performed live. Don Swidinsky, a musician and cre- ator of the “Lake Winnipeg Legends” album, said that while he was playing the song at the library, he felt spiritu- ally fulfi lled. “It just answers a deep need in my soul.
