fans everywhere are mourning Rocket Richard, the great Canadiens hockey star who died last weekend at the age of 78.His passing and the overflow of feelings it has generated serve to illustrate the passage of time and how it can sneak up on you.So many of the fans interviewed in Montreal and elsewhere say, \u201cI never actually saw the Rocket play, but .\u201d Well, some of us did see the Rocket play, and I guess that's mean we're old.Relatively old.Slightly old?A benevolent uncle once took a niece, along with his daughter, to watch a Canadiens hockey game from Forum box seats lent by a business contact.Today, that once-in-a-lifetime experience of the mid- 1950s has left virtually no detailed memories of the Rocket, or of anyone else, alas.There is, however, an indelible impression of the old Forum ice from one particular angle just behind the goal posts, the only live view of that hallowed surface we ever had.The cousin was a rabid Richard fan, even to the extent of writing a song about him (to be sung to the tune of \u201cThe British Grenadiers™) which was actually published in a Canadiens\u2019 game program.But she worshipped alone, while those of us who were a bit younger were turning our fervor toward newer stars like Jean Béliveau.Now Richard is gone, and Béliveau is not well.And not that many of us, it seems, can now reach back to that wonderful, simpler era, when it was such a great thing to be a Montrealer and a hockey fan.JT) FROM GLEANER ARCHIVES 120 years ago May 27, 1880 ANNIVERSARY OF RAID Today (the 27th) is the tenth anniversary of the

normal amount, and there are six more days of May to go.This is a serious situation, and has already affected planting dates and field work in general in this area.A brief note on the corn heat-unit system might be of interest to your farm readers.Corn heat units are values based on the relationship between temperature and corn development.Weather people tend to do everything based on a number system, including when to start recording heat units each spring.According to Environment Canada, we should begin counting when the average daily temperature exceeds 12.8°C.for three consecutive days; one begins counting on the third day.As a farmer-weatherperson, I decided long ago it was foolish to count heat units if the corn seed was in the bag instead of in the ground.As a result, I traditionally began counting when I was finished planting, which.1 felt, meant that in general, 85 per cent of the seed was in the ground.This year has created the biggest gap ever between the two systems of count- be put in ground ing, so I felt an explanation is in order.This means that, for Ormstown Environment Canada says I should start counting this year on May 6, when approximately 10 per cent of the corn was in the ground.By May 17, about 40- 50 per cent was seeded, and as on May 24, the figure might be 50-60 per cent.The Ontario Farmer newspaper publishes a heat-unit count each week, with 12 areas reporting.The starting date for 2000, according to the formula, varies from May 5 (Windsor/Sarnia) to May 7 (Peterborough/Trenton), whether or not seeding had been done.For Gleaner purposes, I will continue to offer heat-unit numbers based as much as possible on whether the planting has been competed, but this year, I think giving two starting dates and two accumulated totals might be in order, due to the large discrepancy between the two systems of counting.For example, from Environment Canada\u2019s May 6 date for this area until May 24, my own starting date based on about 60 per cent of the crop being planted.there have been 2066 heat units.But in the real world, this doesn't mean much.Peter Finlayson Ormstown The late Ola Proudfoot leaves the library as her living legacy Nearly 30 years ago.Huntingdon's Ola Proudfoot had a dream.which she shared with some of her friends: to open a community library in Huntingdon.This small group put their heads together and made this dream come true.In 1972, the Little Green Library opened its doors to serve the community of Huntingdon and the surrounding area.Its location, then and now, is at 6 Hunter St.Over the years, Ola cherished her dream-come-true, and worked hard to support it.Not one week went by that she didn't make several visits to the library, and she understood its workings right down to the tiniest details.She kept an eye on everything, passing many days classitying books, checking on things, or cleaning up.Up until just recently, she attended every meeting and got involved in every possible way she could right up to the end.We will never forget her nearly 30 years of devoted service to the Library, as well as \u2018her devotion and involvement on nearly every one of its committees.She gave freely of her time and herself made frequent donations to the coffers.Ola, we will always remember you.Micheline M.Latreille Secretary-publicist The Little Green Library.(er: JT) 1
