The poppy field in Mantua is in bloom - Cache Valley Daily

Savannah takes a turn behind the camera at the poppy field in Mantua on Monday. Red poppy fields were inspiring back in WWI history. A Canadian physician, Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae wrote the poem “In Flanders Fields.” This poem describes a battlefield where red poppies grew and was the resting place of soldiers that died there. He wrote it in tribute to a fallen soldier and friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, after presiding over the funeral. It became one of the more popular poems of the World War I era. The poppies are colorful; going to the fields are great for someone looking for a summer adventure with children. There are plenty of trails that go through the flowers and lots of room to take pictures, though parking may be limited at times. ...

Barbara Wood Obituary - Menlo Park, CA | San Francisco Chronicle - Legacy.com

Annual summer family trips were a high spot of the year. The family piled into the station wagon, north to the Canadian Rockies, east to Sun Valley, or south to La Jolla. Barbara loved these adventures, and would always search along the road for a dimly lit dinner with candles.When the girls were grown, Barbara helped her neighbor set up M&T Publishing, an American subsidiary of a German publishing company, that was later acquired by CMP Media, Inc., a global software publishing group. She became its Director of Operations and retired with a big party at age 75.Foreign travel was a large part of her life. She and Bob made 46 trips to many countries in Europe, Asia, South and Central America, Australia, and New Zealand. They also took many family ski trips to ski resorts in California, Colorado, and Utah, and once in Europe.In addition to Bob, Barbara is survived by daughters Carol Arvidsson (Par). Sally Williams (Mark), and Wendy Wood and by her grandchildren Erik Arvidsson, Jackson Williams, Karl Arvidsson, and Elissa Williams.A public memorial service will be held on Friday September 20, 2019, at 4:00p.m. at St. Bede's Episcopal Church, 2650 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park.In lieu of flowers, donations in Barbara's memory can be made to Rosener House, a nonprofit center supporting people with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other chronic conditions.

Death of the Oasis in the Prairies - Medicine Hat News

I am referring to the efforts we once put into programs like Communities in Bloom. For those unaware, Communities in Bloom is a Canadian beautification program that provides awards for the appearance, tidiness and visual appeal of Canada’s neighborhood, parks, open spaces and streets, through the use of plants, flowers, turf and trees. It relies on, and involves the local citizens, municipal governments, local organizers and businesses. In 2002, The City of Medicine Hat achieved the highest rating possible under the program, five blooms! It didn’t stop there though; we also won the Nutrite Turf Award for the best turf in Canada! Communities in Bloom is a program that at one time instilled a feeling of pride and community within the cities and towns that participated. It also pushed the City of Medicine Hat to be better year after year. What has happened to see such a decline in the way our city looks and feels to its residents, local businesses and the visitors that drive through, and stay in our great city? We were last recognized nationally in 2010, which is only nine years ago! I will not pretend to have all the answers, but what I do know is that it starts with leadership and a desire to be better than before. Somehow, the City of Medicine Hat has lost its mojo, and is in such a decline that we now allow the destruction of the beauty that once was the Trans Canada and Gershaw Drive Interchange. Not only do we accept this neglect, we also don’t hold departments and managers responsible for the decisions that allowed this to happen. Several years have now passed sinc...
