Located in the front room of the Maple Ridge Museum, our temporary gallery rotates exhibits 2-3 times a year. The goal of the space is to highlight parts of our collection that do not necessarily fit into the exhibits currently on display. The space is also used to showcase traveling exhibitions from neighbouring museums.
Currently on display is "Women in Wartime" highlighting the medical services, with a spotlight on Helen Mussallem using artifacts from the Mussallem estate, which were donated to the museum last year. Helen was raised in Haney and was the nurse during World War II.
Many women who had trained as nurses prior to WWII were able to contribute to the war effort by joining the nursing service. Each branch of the military had its own medical service, and nurses were vital parts of each. Over 4000 nurses enlisted, with the majority joining the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps (RCAMC). The nurses who enlisted were known as "Nursing Sisters" and were commissioned officers, which lent them authority. Most worked overseas both in Britain and continental Europe, and many medical units followed the fronts as they moved into Europe through Italy and France. While nurses did not work in the front lines, the medical hospitals were often very close to the fighting, and there was a certain amount of danger attributed to being a part of the medical corps. This did not deter nurses from enlisting, as military nursing offered a good salary, benefits, status, and opportunity to travel.
Helen began her career in nursing as a staff member of Vancouver General Hospital, where she then joined the No. 19 Royal Army Medical Corps after being told by her supervisor she would be missing out if she did not enlist. After being trained in New Brunswick, Helen became a lieutenant when she first arrived in England in 1944. Initially her job was to train medics in basic first aid, but she was keen to do more hands-on work, which lead her to take on a role as a surgical nurse on the front.
After the war she went to McGill University to earn her Bachelor's degree using what were known as "veteran's points": credits that could be used towards buying land or education. After McGill, she studied at the University of Washington earning her Masters, and then gaining her Doctorate at Columbia University. Helen was the first Canadian to receive a doctorate in nursing. She later advocated for better training and working conditions for all nurses, all over the world, leading to a revolution in nursing education and training. Helen received the Order of Canada for her nursing work in 1969, and was promoted to Champion in 1992.
This exhibit will be on display in the temporary gallery at Maple Ridge Museum starting in February 2016.

The shifting political sands in Israel may leave it on even shakier ground than before the peace process exploded. The Middle East is a tinderbox into which Israeli political turbulence has now been thrown to ignite further passions.
In the middle of a bloody, two-month long conflict with the Palestinians that shows little sign of abating, the besieged Israeli prime minister's sudden call for new elections will either strengthen his hand in calming the storm or force his early retirement.
Looming ominously in the early campaign for power are old foes of the all-but-dead peace process like former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It is widely speculated that having survived a scandal relatively unscathed, Mr. Netanyahu will attempt a comeback at politics by maneuvering to lead his Likud Party in another face-off against the man who defeated his re-election bid two years ago.
Prime Minister Ehud Barak won a landslide victory over the former prime minister on the hopes of many Israelis that the former general and head of the Labor Party could bring reality to his late mentor's promise of peace. But the martyrdom of Yitzhak Rabin should have foretold how difficult the task would be with religious zealots of both Arab and Jewish persuasion absolutely rejecting any move toward peace with sworn enemies.
Despite exhaustive efforts by Prime Minister Barak to broker a peace agreement with the Palestinians, he failed and saw the fragile diplomatic links established between himself and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat disintegrate into blind fury. Through it all, the Israeli prime minister faced a constant struggle to appease hard-liners within his government who threatened to undermine him at every turn.
Rather than wait for his likely fate to play out in a parliament moving fast to wrest what control remained in his hands, Mr. Barak gambled again on beating the odds. While he remains at the helm for the next few months before the election, he may push hard to chart a new course of negotiations with the Palestinians. If he can forge even a temporary peace deal with the Palestinians by initiating new diplomatic and military proposals, he could wind up keeping his job.
On the other hand, wary Palestinians view the political turmoil in Israel with the caution borne of experience with false optimism. How much time and effort can honestly be spent reconstructing a framework for peace when big stakes election campaigning is under way? Will progress or lack thereof at the peace table simply be fodder for campaign speeches and subsequently disregarded depending on the outcome of the election?
Injecting yet more questions and uncertainty into a region of the world already writhing in the throes of a grave crisis may have been unavoidable considering the fast collapsing Barak minority government, but the timing was terrible nonetheless.

GOOD MORNING: I was surrounded by Warren Beatty, "Town and Country" director Peter Chelsom, the pic's producers Andrew Karsch, Simon Fields, Fred Roos, Cyrus Yavneh and New Line's Lynn Harris. Diane Keaton and Garry Shandling were getting ready to start a scene and Goldie Hawn was being made up in her trailer. Since all of the principal stars boast credits that include writing, directing, producing and starring, I wondered if the filmmakers were being told by the quartet of players how their movie should be made. Helmer Chelsom was quick to point out he, too, was an actor so he could handle the situation, should it arise (which it hadn't yet). But Goldie laughingly told me she had occasionally "made a suggestion." Beatty was the most relaxed I had ever seen him, especially after his duties on "Bulworth" (as producer, director, screenwriter, star). "This is like a vacation," he said as he relaxed in his chair, biting into a breakfast burrito. The location was the ultra-modern, nonconventional Lawson-Weston Brentwood house designed by architect Owen Moss. In the movie, it is occupied by Hawn and her just-thrown-out-of the-house husband Shandling while best friend Beatty, in his underwear, is in an upstairs bedroom. He is having an affair with Hawn. Meanwhile, Beatty is separating from Keaton, his wife of 25 years and mother of their two children … The pic is like a French farce, including doors opening and closing on the stars. Bill Fraker is the master D.P. catching the shenanigans. No wonder the mood is high and Beatty is so relaxed. In view of this assembled talent (and with the above group so amicably arranged around me), it was time to ask about the pic's budget. I was told it had been $40 million, but New Line raised it, to account for the castings that also include Andie McDowell as one of Beatty's paramours and now Charlton Heston. He plays (for three days) McDowell's very rich, conservative father who won the 1952 Gold Medal in the Biathalon for skiing — and shooting. Beatty, who in real life once made an appearance for rigid gun control, faces Heston in scenes this week shooting (excuse it!) at Greystone, which is doubling for Heston-McDowell's mansion in Sun Valley. Coincidentally, McDowell and husband Paul Qualley are selling their mountain ranch home on 3,000 acres in Montana and moving to Asheville, N.C. (McDowell works next in "The Muse," to shoot in L.A.). Marion Seldes plays Heston's wife and McDowell's mother in "Town & Country." Jenna Elfman also co-stars. The leading quartet of players has agreed to less than their ordinary salaries in exchange for percentage deals.
THE VACATION WILL BE OVER soon for Beatty. When "Town & Country" winds, he will take on his usual multi-duties for his next film. He is currently writing the script, which he will direct and in which he will star. It will again have something of import to say — this time about family. Beatty has become fully aware of family values as the father of three and as husband to Annette Bening. While he escorted me over to Hawn's dressing room trailer, Warren told me of the joys of fatherhood and the love and respect he has for his wife. "I don't know how she does it," he admitted, "and she works, too" (seguing from one film to another). As Warren led me to Goldie's trailer, he reminded me he didn't make "Bulworth" to be a blockbuster but is satisfied with its blossoming reaction as it is headed to the Venice fest … A tearful Goldie greeted Warren and me at her trailer door and she sobbed as she gave us both big hugs. She said she had just read quotes by director Risa Bramon Garcia about Goldie's daughter Kate Hudson (19) in Garcia's (Par-MTV Films) "200 Cigarettes," calling Kate, "The biggest movie star I've ever seen." "A star is born!" exclaimed a tearful Goldie. "My baby is going to be a star!" When she regained her composure, Hawn assured Warren (and me) that her "baby" would be able to handle success. Hopefully as well as her mom, I added. Hawn celebrates her daughter's newfound praises with the rest of her family in Canada: She has a month off "Town & Country" as they film sequences with the other principals. Good timing.
NANCY MEYERS AND CHARLES SHYER ("The Parent Trap") are "taking a little time off" from their togetherness. No twins here to bring 'em back together. They're wed three years, together 21. But they still have many plans together for their company … George Schlatter birthday'd wife Jolene with a surprise party at Le Dome. Biggest surprise was the presence of Johnny Carson (and wife Alex), who admitted to me this was the first time he'd worn a tie since leaving his show. After congratulatory faxes were read, Carson quipped, "You mean I could have sent a fax and stayed home?" Johnny has no intention of doing anything: no guestings, no acting jobs (like Garry Shandling, f'rinstance, above). Fred de Cordova, at the party with wife Janet, said he gets calls every week requesting he give Carson their offers. Fred tells 'em Carson's standard answer: "I did it." De Cordova and Schlatter are both advising Jay Leno not to go ahead with the proposed wrestling match with Hulk Hogan. Accidents can happen! After the Schlatters' party, guests including Billy Wilder, Kirk Douglas and Jack Lemmon were giving autographs to fans waiting on the now-sizzling Sunset Strip.

How To Grow A Perfect Beard Using A Beard Trimmer?
Personal grooming, especially, when you're growing a beard, is of an utmost importance for a well-being of men. However, as much as it is essential, a lot of men have problems dedicating the time that is required for grooming. From picking and dropping off kids at the school, to running around the office to get your work done – a man's life can be quite hectic.
Read on to find out how you can benefit by using a beard trimmer and learn about the time you'll save by using one!
Why Is Nice Beard a Trend This Year?
The year 2013 saw a rising trend in beards of all sorts among men. This hasn't ended on the onset of 2014 – believe it or not, beards are still the trend! There's no doubt that a beard makes a man look more handsome, and, well, manly!
Gone are the days when a beard was considered to be a sign of apathy. On the contrary, it is now nothing short of being a stylish accessory.
The Most Popular Beard Styles
There are a lot of beard styles available; each suits its wearer in a unique way. Here are some of the most popular beard styles that will make anyone look cool!
- Mountain Man Beard (Full beard) – This type of beard has been famous for a long time. It was also a favorite of many popular rock stars, including Jon Hamm. All it takes is to let your natural hair grow as much as you want while ensuring that you comb well. It is suited to men who prefer a classic look – and the good thing is, you won't need to go to a stylist to get one!
- Light or Short Beard – A style that is preferred by the world famous soccer player, David Beckham. It is far easier to maintain than a full beard and the style is ideal for any type of occasion.
- Moustache and Goatee – The classic goatee look is just perfect. Common among various celebrities as well as men in general, this style gives off a clean look and suits people of any complexion.
- Designer Stubble – This style is truly hot. Only a small amount of hair near the chin needs to be grown and kept well trimmed on a daily basis. It gives off a really unique and cool look.
These are only the major types of beards. There are much more others. Here is a nice infographic by Beards.org with some popular types of beards
How To Use A Beard Trimmer
Follow these easy 4 steps and use a beard trimmer safe and easy:
- Always use a beard trimmer in front of the mirror. This will guarantee a close cut.
- Adjust the trimmer guard to the desired beard length.
- Using slow, smooth strokes begin trimming the beard in an upward direction. Using the trimmer in this direction makes the hair stand up.
- Ensure that the chin line is straight and that the beard is trimmed evenly on both the sides. You can also use a safety razor or straight razor for this.
- Clean up the trimmer, guards, and our bath. Oil the trimmer after the usage.
Beard trimmers offer an extremely versatile way to get the right type of beard that you want.

On Tuesday, I was happy/relieved to see that Wim Wenders' film Pina was nominated for 2012's Best Documentary Oscar -- even if it didn't make the cut for Best Foreign Film, though that was always a long shot. Pina is a tribute to Pina Rausch, a German choreographer who pioneered a new form of modern dance known as "dance theater" -- a more emotional, visceral type of dance and movement that involves elements of acting and performance art. Pina also has the distinction of being one of only two truly great 3D movies I've ever seen (the other being James Cameron's Avatar). While I feel that 3D most often detracts from the viewing experience (as well as your wallet), Wenders gets 3D right by using it to capture an emerging art form that uses movement, distance, contact, and wordless acting to convey emotion and story in a way that is vibrant, refreshingly new, and provides the feeling of a revelation -- both for dance theater and 3D. (Read my review of Pina here.)
Before seeing Pina, I had agreed with the conventional wisdom that 3D was best suited for action and animated films, though the vast majority of 3D movies I'd seen so far had left me feeling like it shouldn't be used at all. But Pina changed that, so I was excited to have the opportunity to talk with Wim Wenders about Pina and what he sees as the future of 3D, and it left me feeling that the medium I had often maligned actually had more potential and a brighter future in the world of documentaries than mega-budget fantasies. Watch my ReThink Interview with Wim Wenders below.

The Capability and Leadership Framework (CLF) is a tool to develop the capability and leadership of people at all levels.
The CLF describes the behaviour expected of public service staff at every level from base grade to the Chief Executive Officer. This will enable all staff to identify the core capabilities required of them in their current role, and help them identify areas of growth for future roles.
Individuals and teams within the Department can use the framework to identify professional development to support career planning, performance development, transitioning to a new role or moving across the public sector.
The CLF provides a common language to support consistent whole-of-government capability and leadership development, and is designed to help ensure that the QPS has the capability and leadership skills to meet future challenges.

This book challenges sociologists and sociology students to think beyond the construction of social problems to tackle a central question: What do sociologists do with the analytic tools and academic skills afforded by their discipline to respond to social problems? Service Sociology posits that a central role of sociology is not simply to analyse and interpret social problems, but to act in the world in an informed manner to ameliorate suffering and address the structural causes of these problems. This volume provides a unique contribution to this approach to sociology, exploring the intersection between its role as an academic discipline and its practice in the service of communities and people. With both contemporary and historical analyses, the book traces the legacy, characteristics, contours, and goals of the sociology of service, shedding light on its roots in early American sociology and its deep connections to activism, before examining the social context that underlies the call for volunteerism, community involvement and non-profit organisations, as well as the strategies that have promise in remedying contemporary social problems. Presenting examples of concrete social problems from around the world, including issues of democratic participation, poverty and unemployment, student involvement in microlending, disaster miitigation, the organization and leadership of social movements, homelessness, activism around HIV/AIDS and service spring breaks, Service Sociology and Academic Engagement in Social Problems explores the utility of public teaching, participatory action research, and service learning in the classroom as a contribution to the community.... and in the ability to play onea#39;s role in accord with ideal notions of role portrayal (Stryker and Serpe 1987; burke 1997; burke ...

So the last couple of weeks have been murder. The entire house is one constant round of sickness as soon as one of us is better another one of us is going down again. This has led to some unpleasantness for us all and is teaching us to love each other in new and different ways (giving someone a kiss and cuddle after they have just been sick is hard even if its your brother). Lets not even go in to how much the washing machine has suffered over this time of illness. But I am wondering how much more it, it can take.
So its gone something like this..first one that goes down is hubbie, not a soul does he tell, so staunch in his stiff upper lip mentality that none of us are even aware that his bowls are giving him the utmost grief. (OH how I wish I'd have know as I wouldn't have gone near him with a barge pole) anyway next is me...I'm not joking I was totally wiped out by it. It was half term, the kids weren't getting dressed, they are running around causing havoc and the house was a tip..I was either in the loo or groaning on the sofa. 5 days of hell before I am feeling even vaguely well enough to put a piece of toast past my lips. Next is eldest child, being 13, this making her exceptionally fragile "coughs" she is crying, bed ridden and wanting to be taken up to the emergency doctors every five minutes. She would not have it that she had just got the same bug as the rest of us. Hers was much worse, much more serious and totally in a different realm of illness to what I had just been through. Ooo to have the luxury again of being able to care so much about oneself and also to have the time to do it. Next came youngest probably the truly the most fragile out of us all. He is the one who gets the most poorly and always gets whatever is going round the hardest. So when he woke one morning with a runny nappy and then proceeded to be violently sick having just drank his morning cup of tea I was not a happy chappy. Of all the things to bring back up I have to say large amounts of milk has got to be in the top 3 for the worst of them. He needed to be showered, I needed to showered, the walls, ceiling, sofa, blankets and both of our pjs needed to washed or in some cases burnt. It was horrendous, in fact it was so bad that eldest made a very quick recovery and decided she'd rather be a school for the day. So once everyone and everything was cleaned up I spent the rest of the day trying to get him to drink something at the very least for worry of dehydration. (I ended up have to syringe 10mls of juice in to his mouth every hour or so). By the evening he was eating a little and by the next morning he seemed fully recovered...yippee !!! (though slightly disgruntled that I didn't recover quiet so quickly when I had it)
So that leaves middle one, the ox of the family, the energetic bouncy never ill one. His contribution to this whole event was quiet spectacular in the fact that last night just before he fell asleep he said "erm mummy my tummy doesn't feel quiet right" an hour later hubbie and I hear a strange noise ran upstairs to finding him sitting up in bed whimpering covered from head to toe but still basically asleep......! I strip the bed completely, hubbie showers him, wraps him in a towel brings him downstairs. I come down, he mumbles "is my name QTH?" and is still asleep. I give him calpol take him back in to our bed, his is a disastor zone and there he stays for the rest of the night. This morning he wakes up and moans about having to go to the childminder. "You're not going to the childminder honey you are not well enough to go to school" "oh yeah...am I ?" "Son don't you remember being sick everywhere last night and getting in the shower and then sleeping in mummy and daddy's bed" "err no well sort of" and this is how the day has proceeded nothing wrong with him at all. In fact he is driving me mad being hungry all the time.....!
Now tell me something..... Why couldn't I be ill like that !!!

Oh I know how you feel. Until I was a mother I never appreciated the luxury of being able to be ill and just rest. Now I dread being ill as I know that either him upstairs or the little ones will get it and will make me suffer!ReplyDelete

Bishops Criticize New Mexico Plan On Food Stamps - The Associated Press and Albuquerque Journal
Roman Catholic bishops are criticizing the plan of Gov. Susana Martinez's administration to again impose work-related requirements on some low-income New Mexicans trying to qualify for food stamps.
Bishops Sheehan of the Santa Fe Diocese, James Wall of the Gallup Diocese and Oscar Cantu of the Las Cruces Diocese say the plan might be defensible when the economy is strong but that they say it's unconscionable during the current weak economy.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the state in October plans to restore a 20-hour-a-week work requirement for an estimated 26,600 childless adults to get food stamps.
The requirement was suspended in 2009 because of the Great Recession.
The state Human Services Department says the change restores requirements enacted by the federal government in the 1990s.
Ballot Proposal On Marijuana Advances In Santa Fe - The Associated Press
The city clerk in Santa Fe says activists have submitted enough valid voter signatures to force a public vote on decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana, if the City Council doesn't approve it outright.
ProgressNow New Mexico and the Drug Policy Alliance submitted petitions last month. Activists needed 5,763 valid signatures from registered city voters.
The Santa Fe proposal mirrors one which the groups tried unsuccessfully to get on the ballot in Albuquerque.
The proposal would make possession of an ounce or less of marijuana a civil infraction punishable by a fine of no more than $25.
Possession of an ounce or less of marijuana in Santa Fe now is a petty misdemeanor for the first offense, punishable by a $50 to $100 fine and up to 15 days in jail.
Carlsbad Police Who Fatally Shot Suspect Cleared - The Associated Press and Current-Argus
Authorities say two Carlsbad police officers involved in a fatal shooting of a suspect can return to active duty.
The Current-Argus reports that Sgt. Edward Duarte and Officer David DeSantiago were cleared this week by their department.
Police say 24-year-old Troy Kirkpatrick was in the custody of the Eddy County Detention Center on June 9 when he allegedly assaulted a detention officer at a doctor's office and then stole a vehicle.
Kirkpatrick was being pursued by police when he crashed the vehicle into a fence in an alleyway.
He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died at a hospital.
State police investigators also completed their own investigation and forwarded the results to the District Attorney's office. Prosecutors have yet to make a determination in the case.
Community Efforts To Help Santa Fe Schools Rising - The Associated Press and Santa Fe New Mexican
Community groups and business owners in Santa Fe say there is a growing movement to invest in the success of the city's students.
The New Mexican reports that Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales plans to announce a new education initiative this week that will involve community partnerships.
Organizers of the Santa Fe Interfaith Coalition for Education have already formed committees for legislative advocacy and volunteer recruitment. The group's goals include finding mentors and tutors for middle and high school students.
Similar efforts are underway in other parts of the state.
A coalition of Albuquerque leaders in education, politics and business started Mission: Graduate in 2012. The group's goals are to raise graduation rates and decrease truancy.
New Mexico Program Allows Inmates To Help Horses - The Associated Press and Albuquerque Journal
The New Mexico Department of Corrections has launched a new program that allows prisoners without disciplinary problems to help with rescued horses.
The Albuquerque Journal reports the program teaches inmates horsemanship skills while the horses benefit from care and the daily attention.
Based on the grounds of the Springer Correctional Center, the program was originally intended to be limited to incarcerated veterans, but other inmates have since been allowed to take part.
David Brown, the prison's programs director, said a line of inmates is waiting for spots in the project. He says those who participate seem to have a better attitude and a shift in demeanor.
Springer Correctional Center is a state-run prison in northern New Mexico that holds roughly 270 inmates.
Bill Would Bar Delegates From Holding County Posts - The Associated Press and Daily Times
The Navajo Nation Council is considering whether council delegates may also concurrently serve in county offices.
The Daily Times reports that a pending bill would require that delegates forfeit their tribal offices if they continue serving as a county official.
A proposed amendment would require that a delegate's office be declared vacant if a delegate is elected to a county office and doesn't promptly resign from the council.
Delegate Leonard Tsosie is sponsoring the bill. He says delegates holding county offices can't speak strongly for the Navajo Nation.
Two delegates currently serve as county supervisors or commissioners — Jonathan Nez in Arizona's Navajo County and Kenneth Maryboy in Utah's San Juan County.
Nez says he tries to do his best for the constituents who put him in both positions.
Tommy Lee Jones To Attend Santa Fe Film Festival - The Associated Press and Santa Fe New Mexican
Oscar winner Tommy Lee Jones will screen a Western drama he wrote and directed at the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival this fall.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that Jones will attend a screening of "The Homesman" at the October festival.
Jones also stars in the movie, which features Meryl Streep and Hillary Swank. The plot centers on a claim jumper and a pioneer woman who escort three insane women from Nebraska to Iowa.
The project was filmed primarily in New Mexico and will open in theaters in November.
Festival organizers say they are still going through more than 700 submissions to put together their lineup.
The festival is now in its sixth year and is held at venues throughout Santa Fe.
Film Looking For 'Fantastic' Extras In Las Cruces - The Associated Press and Las Cruces Sun-News
A movie starring Viggo Mortensen and Frank Langella is looking for local actors to serve as extras when it films in Las Cruces this week.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reported Saturday that "Captain Fantastic" needs actors of various ethnicities for shooting.
The movie centers on a father who moves his six children deep into the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
The production is looking for background actors between the ages of 30 and 60 with high end cars. There are also casting calls for a physically fit police officer and female and male golfers between their 30s and 50s
The New Mexico Film Office says the project will employ at least 75 local crew members, one New Mexico actor and 220 local background talent.
Woman, Child Remain Hospitalized After Dog Attack - The Associated Press
Police say a mother and her young son remain hospitalized a day after being mauled by two dogs in a Rio Rancho backyard.
Rio Rancho police say the 2-year-old boy remains in serious condition and his mother is listed as satisfactory.
Both suffered substantial injuries. The woman's 8-year-old child received a minor wound.
Police say the children were playing in the sprinklers Saturday afternoon when one of the dogs attacked the 2-year-old and then the second dog joined in.
After shouting and other efforts to distract the animals failed, responding officers opened fire. They found the mother lying over the toddler in an attempt to shield him from the dogs.
Police say the dogs lived at the home.

quote:Palin also commented Friday on her widely-panned series of interviews with Katie Couric, telling Fox interviewer she did not think the CBS News anchor asked enough issue-based questions.
I did feel there were a lot of things she was missing in terms of an opportunity to ask what a VP candidate stands for, what the values are that are represented in our ticket," Palin said. "I guess I have to apologize for being a bit annoyed, but thats also an indication about being outside that Washington elite, outside that media elite also, and just wanting to talk to Americans without the filter and let them know what we stand for."
In two separate and lengthy interviews with Couric over the last week, Palin seemed to struggle with a number of answers, including a defense of McCain's record on regulation issues. She also appeared to stumble when relating her views on the financial bailout, her foreign policy credentials, her preferred news sources of news, and a Supreme Court case she disagrees with.
"Man, no matter what you say you are gonna get clobbered," Palin told Fox about her heavily-scrutinized performance. "You choose to answer you are going to get clobbered on the answer. If you choose to pivot and try to go onto another subject that you believe Americans want to hear about, you get clobbered for that too."

Old and new memory piece
When I started on this amazing beading adventure, the first ever beading book I owned and poured over was 'Beads, Make your own Jewellery' by Stefany Tomalin. It not only gave me my first lessons in knots and thread, but also a doorway into a world where Stefany lived, surrounded by beads and their history. Many moons later, and I will embarrass neither of us by revealing how many moons, I had the huge pleasure of meeting Stephany for the first time at a Bead Society event. It gave me pause to think about that younger self and how a first glimpse into the world of beads revealed my tribe to me. How I too now live surrounded by beads, enjoying the process of digging into the history of this amazing craft.
Stephany had recently been to Czechoslovakia and had a few treasures for sale, I bought some huge (3cm x 1cm) spike beads and resolved that I should do something with them. Here they are next to some regular old 17mm spikes.
A more recent memory was from earlier this year when I had great fun teaching at a beading retreat in Hilzingen, Germany. Andreina, one of the attendees, very kindly showed me the techniques with right angle weave and pinch beads that are hugely popular in Europe, because I fell instantly in love with a necklace she was wearing. With her consent I'll be sharing a few of my experiments in up coming workshops; which is why I was playing around with the techniques at the time that this particular design was happening.
Rummaging in my bead box I also came up with some ceramic spheres, these are sold in bags at garden centres, designed to be scattered in plant pots to hide the soil and keep in the moisture, and of course who could resist them in the perfect shade of turquoise?
Pinch beads are among one of the older established shapes of beads, much overlooked until recently, they've had something of a renaissance along side many of the new shapes of beads.
The whole mix was a soupy mess on my bead board for several weeks as I tried various combinations of components. This beadwork is quite chunky and as a result weighs some, so the final piece is a shortish necklace with an off set focal of bezelled spikes linked together with a bezelled gardeners ball. I don't know about you, but I find heavy jewellery irksome to wear, love how it looks, but not so much the headaches if I wear a heavy piece for too long. I've worn my new necklace a few times now and can report back that it behaves well on the neckline and definitely raises the odd eyebrow, which is a good thing, right?
But best of all it tells a story of my journeys and discoveries with beads and reminds me where I started. It speaks of how life and people move in circles that inevitably intersect. It's a design combination that shows how a little treasure from here and from there, will one day come together and become part of something else, and how sharing ideas is at the heart of beading, always.

Design anatomy
Although it was fun to do, quite a few evenings of beading and un-beading went into the final make up of the design, which I thought I'd share, just in case you feel like experimenting too.
First, I worked a bezel for the stone combining Peyote and Albion stitch, using colours picked out from the stone. I worked one side in matt beads and the other in a more translucent shiny bead. It became pretty clear that the hole wasn't going to be hidden by the beading, and I wanted to keep as much of the stone on display as I could. The other thing that I noticed, was that the hole was pretty sharp edged which (I can feel you nodding), is death to beading thread.
The stone was also quite brittle, and likely to be damaged with any metal findings. After a bit of pondering, I sanded out the hole a bit and glued a double delica in as a lining. Now I had a smaller hole with nicely rounded glass edges. Enter the metal finding I have no name for; and which I only
seem to be able to buy in Europe... a metal rod with round beads at each end, one of which unscrews.
I used right angle weave to make a stirrup shape, which took up the space left either side of the bezelled stone quite neatly. Then I got carried away and added a ring of beads. This proved too small to fit anything through it, but I kind of liked the textures and shapes,
Now I had a lovely kinetic pendant, the stone swivels smoothly on the metal rod, but with no means of attaching it to anything, other than to bead directly off the little ring with more right angle weave, which is just what I did, colouring the rope to mimic the patterning of the stone a little.
I made a second stirrup and ring arrangement to attach to the other end of the beaded rope. Then I realised that, oops, I'd need a break in the rope to be able to thread an end through the second stirrup.
So, finally, the bones of the design came together into an asymmetric lariat, which I can adjust, depending on which top I am wearing. I'm also really happy that one more stone is released from the 'one day when' box so I can enjoy wearing it.
Design update:
A slight problem, the gorgeous stone is actually quite weighty, on wearing the necklace I found myself in a gradual choke situation as the sliding stirrup slid a little until I was in danger of turning purple... back to the bead board and a couple of additions.
I worked units of raw on each face of the necklace part, and threaded on some little green jasper beads to link them, now I have two toggles that keep everything in place and the stirrup can't move beyond them.
Two? well one looked just plain odd, but a second one gave the design a little balance.

A 27-year-old man wanted by authorities for the killing in 2002 of a Chicago man was arrested by federal agents in Mexico earlier this month, according to the FBI.
In 2002, Jose Gonzalez was charged in Cook County Circuit Court with one count of first-degree murder in connection with the slaying of Francisco Moreno in an apparent case of mistaken identity, police said.Gonzalez fired at the driver of a vehicle at the intersection of 103rd Street and Avenue M in Chicago, police said. He fatally wounded Moreno, police said.
An investigation determined that Gonzalez fired the gun and that he thought Moreno was a rival gang member, according to court records. Shortly after the shooting, Gonzalez fled the United States. He was later charged in the U. S. District Court in Chicago with one count of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Seminarians for the Diocese of London study at St. Peter's Seminary in London, Ontario. Below is some brief information about our seminarians, in their own words:
Steven Eckert
Rob Renaud
Paul Kim
Robert Weaver
Andrew Roelands
Phil Guimaraes
Tony Joseph (T.J.) Vandermeer
Thomas Horenberg
On the Marian day of August 22, 1982 I was baptized into the Catholic Church. It was my grandmother's birthday and we were with my family at the family cottage. The priest who baptized me was a regular guest of my grandparents. He was a priest who was present in the schools when my dad was young too. I had received the sacraments and after confirmation I felt an urge to speak about my faith. Which, in today's world, it is not always easy. Years later I had volunteered at a Christian school in Africa as a teacher, teaching eight to thirteen year olds. I went to help combat the poverty there and with time my heart and mind were opened to the existence of many types of poverty people experience. When I returned home I joined the Knights of Columbus. They provided opportunity and fraternity to do charitable activities and support many causes. A trip to visit the grave of Fr. Stephen Eckert, in Milwaukee, opened me to be more receptive to where God could call me. I returned to the sacrament of confession and felt the Lord calling me to "come, step out of the boat", as Peter had done on the Sea of Galilee. I made the step and it led me to King's College and St. Peter's to study philosophy and theology, with the hope of becoming a priest for the diocese of London.
I was born and raised in Chatham to a loving and prayerful family, as the youngest of four siblings. Being raised in a Catholic family I was surrounded by positive role models, such as priests, brothers and nuns and lay persons who worked as youth ministers or who had an involvement in ministries such as the Christ in Others Retreat. I was particularly inspired by those who dedicated their lives to serving the poor, and especially those who advocated for unborn children and single parent families.
At the end of my high school year at Ursuline College "The Pines", I still thought about the priesthood, however I needed more time to discern and reflect. Was this the right time to enter into the Seminary? Should I date a bit more first? It was my father, who worked as a Social Worker for a time in his young adulthood, who suggested that I apply for my Bachelors of Social Work at University of Windsor.
As a Social Worker, I felt God's hand guiding me into situations and into people's challenges where the talents He gave me could be best put to use to help them. I felt as though I was happy, and thought that life was set. I had a house, I had a car, and stable finances. I went through a rough patch, however, after I lost my father to cancer, which led me to rethink my life and my vocation. During this time I was supported by friends who appeared at just the right time, and by the Knights of Columbus and my Church community. As the fog lifted and things improved the thought of entering the priesthood returned, especially when various people on separate occasions suggested that I would make a good priest. It was time for me to apply to St. Peter's to discern f I truly am called.
My advice for any who are discerning the priesthood or the religious life would be to speak to your parish priest and the vocations director for the diocese. They have been through the discernment process, like yourself, and understand what you are feeling. Stay positive and maintain your relationship with God through prayer, reconciliation and the Eucharist. You will be challenged, but Christ will be guiding you as put trust in Him and take the next step.Back to top
I come from a family of four. I am a second generation Korean Canadian. My educational background is in French, History and Education.
I first recognized the call to priesthood in high school. It was during the Sacrament of Reconciliation that I was able to discern more seriously my vocation. I was blessed to have many holy priests in my life that guided and nurtured my call. They were priestly role models who helped me draw closer to God and aided my prayer and discernment.
My best advice to a young man considering priesthood is to journey with a priest for spiritual direction, and also to spend silent time in front of the Blessed Sacrament. By doing this we discern with the Holy Spirit as our guide, and to overcome any distractions or fears that may prevent us from fulfilling God's Will.
I was born and raised in the scenic Okanagan valley in British Columbia. I lived with both of my parents and my older brother and I was blessed with a happy and adventuresome childhood.
My relationship with God was important to me throughout my childhood and adolescence and I even discerned a call to the priesthood during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Eventually, however, I concluded that I was not called to this life. I was drawn to the human services and I worked in this area for a number of years. I was also attracted to research and academics, and I earned a PhD in social work from the University of Georgia in 2004.
After living in the United States for about six years, I returned to Canada in 2007 in order to work as a professor at the University of Windsor's School of Social Work. These years were both challenging and fulfilling as I achieved various personal goals but in time I began to once again experience God's call to the priesthood. The signs were quite gentle at first, but the call was persistent and it steadily grew stronger. I cooperated and nurtured this call through prayer, including praying the Liturgy of the Hours, frequent Mass attendance and regular celebration of the Sacrament of Confession, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and spiritual direction. After spending time with priests from both religious orders and the Diocese of London, I applied to St. Peter's Seminary and entered formation for diocesan priesthood in August 2013.
Since then, my time in the seminary has been a transition for me that has included various challenges, but it has also been a time of tremendous grace. For instance, I have encountered the Risen Jesus in the Sacred Scriptures and my love for Him, in union with the Holy Trinity, has increased tremendously.
Furthermore, I find that engaging in community prayer with other seminarians and the priests at St. Peter's Seminary is an excellent way to experience God's healing and energizing grace and love, and I am totally committed to following Jesus to wherever He leads me.
For any man considering the priesthood, I cannot overemphasize the importance of entering into a deep prayer and sacramental life. By doing so, God's will for you will become increasingly clear and you will have the persistent desire and determination to respond to His call - whatever that may be.

Sacred Heart Parish, Parkhill
Arts I
I was born on December 30th, 1997 and was raised in Parkhill, Ontario on a pig farm with my eight other siblings (I am number four). Growing up my parents, Rob and Jacinta taught me how to pray, to live my faith actively and to work hard. They encouraged me to consider the priesthood and to be open to God's Will in my life. My parents started me on the right path to being open to the priesthood or whatever God's call would be for me. My parents, siblings and grandparents have always been my first and greatest supports in regard to our Catholic Faith, to work on the farm and school, in building virtues and character, and in my discernment.
At the time of my First Holy Communion, my Godparents gave me a biography of St. John Bosco as a First Holy Communion present. I wasn't quiet old enough to it read yet, but that was fine because I read it about four years later when I was in grade six. St. John Bosco's love of God, strong devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary, and the special attention he showed to the boys he took under his care inspired me to become like him. I wanted to become a priest like him. This was the first time I considered the priesthood seriously. I put this thought away for about six years and kept it in the back of my mind, meanwhile I continued to be an altar boy at Holy Mass every Sunday and an active member of my parish. I got involved in the Sacred Heart Youth group in my parish and there made a great core group of friends to support me in high school and in discernment. I have spent the last year and a half as a leader in my parish youth group which has helped me discern that God may want me to serve His people as a priest. I also have been working on the farm with my family and I have loved every minute of it, but I was always finding that it wasn't quiet for me. There was something deep down tugging at my heart.
At the start of grade twelve I started to feel more strongly again God's call to be His priest. I only felt this call because of time spent before the Blessed Sacrament. I had a 'spare' period in my school day and I would often go to the school chapel and pray during this period. I prayed about my vocation. I wanted to get married and pursue a career, but I kept feeling God calling me to be a priest. I ran, but I couldn't hide. I didn't go to the chapel sometimes because Jesus, present there was calling me and I didn't want to listen. I soon found out I couldn't run or hide, God would persist in drawing me to Him. I gave in and have been discerning God's Holy Will for my life ever since. I have never felt happier in my life then when I've renounced my will and followed God's. I have now entered St. Peter's Seminary, with Mary as my Teacher, Jesus as my Love, and the Holy Spirit as my Guide, to continue to grow in holiness and to follow God's Will for my life. I hope to be ordained a priest someday. God's Will be done!

I started on the path to the seminary early in my life. At the age of 11, I entered the Pre-Seminary of Buarcos, Portugal and was transferred to the main Seminary at Figueira da Foz the following year. It was my intention then to become a priest, however, life changes. Our whole family emigrated to Canada that same year. In Canada, I pursued a degree in French and Spanish literature at Laurentian University, where I met and married my wife – Sigi. It was my intention upon graduation to become a teacher. That too did not work out as my brothers asked me to join them in their swimming pool installation business to start a service division. In 1982, we bought the service company from them and went on our own to establish a very successful business.
My path back to the Church and to the Seminary, started about 21 years ago when I was asked by my sister-in-law to be the baptismal godfather to her son. In conscience, I could not do this and not be a good Christian example to him. Immediately I started practicing our faith and started reading the bible, the catechism and the lives of the saints. This slowly brought me ever closer to God. I attended and led the "Arise" program, where we started a St. Vincent de Paul Society in our parish. I was also a group leader of "Why Catholic" in our Parish for the last 2 years, as well as a Knights of Columbus member for 36 years.
In 2014 my marriage of 38 years ended when my wife – Sigi, sadly passed away from brain cancer. Her strength, faith and joy were astounding during this time. It helped me greatly. Shortly after, I sold my company to my Service Manager and retired. Throughout my life the idea of becoming a priest never went away. It was at this time that the Good Lord started calling me to Him in earnest. First, I discerned a call to the Permanent Diaconate and completed my first year this spring. However, Our Lord was not yet done with me, and in November 2015, I decided to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a priest and applied to St. Peter's Seminary, where I was filled with joy to be accepted. God willing, and with a lot of help and prayers, I look forward to being ordained and doing His will.

When I was eight years old I had my First Communion. After the mass the priest at my parish, Fr Andrew Kowalczyk passed the microphone around and asked all of us kids what we wanted to be when we grow up. I said that I wanted to be a priest, so I guess I felt the call from God when I was fairly young. That call faded and appeared many times throughout my life growing up. When I was seventeen, I went to a Come and See weekend at St. Peter's Seminary. When I was there I felt that this may be something God is calling me to, but I heard God say to me that it is not yet time. I felt really at peace with that, and I know that God had my best interests in mind. So I found a job in construction that I really liked, and I worked there for almost two years. Then I started making plans to continue in that field. Those were my plans though not God's plans.
When I was eighteen, so about a year and a half from the first Come and See weekend. Fr. Patrick Beneteau came to a youth event at my home parish, there he did a short talk, and Holy Hour. It was at this Holy Hour that I really heard God's voice. He was telling me that I should really start thinking about the priesthood again. I had not given it a fair chance in a while. So off I went to the next Come and See weekend at St. Peter's Seminary. It was there that I heard God's voice again, telling me I should apply to go to the seminary this fall. I immediately started listing off excuses, but God told me just to trust him. That is what I did. I applied and did my best, to get in. Then I left the rest up to Him.
So now I am here, at St. Peter's Seminary. I am still discerning my vocation, however, I am trusting in God like he asked me to. I know that with prayer and discernment God will show me my vocation, I just need to be patient. Right now all I have to do is be the best version of myself. The rest will come with time.

I was born and raised Catholic, from St. Joseph's Parish in Stratford, Ontario. I am from a family of seven children and I am a graduate of the Catholic School system. Being from a farm, there was always an emphasis on hard work, responsibility and faith.
During high school, the idea of becoming a priest was really fostered. By visiting the Holy Eucharist in the high school chapel and consulting my mentors I was able to start discerning the call more deeply. Also, the interactions with my parish priests inspired me. I wanted to provide the same service I was given in my own life.
Any young man considering the priesthood should consult others. Do not keep it to yourself. Have good mentors that you can trust and talk to. Journey with a priest and get spiritual direction. Frequent reception of the sacraments is needed. They can give you so many graces. Through all these different graces the discernment of God's Will is possible.

Restoration of a true artifact from the Golden Age of Aviation.
The Roaring 20's. Dashing men in their amazing aircraft soaring through the sky. Perhaps taking you away on the adventure of a lifetime. When we think of the Golden Age, thoughts of the China Clipper and Pan AM's first flying boats whisking people away to far off lands for some interesting journey appear as time recedes from the shores of memory. The stutter of a radial engine as it comes to life belching smoke and flame fill the your mind as men in leather flying helmets in open cockpits race into the the air down grassy runways. It is a bygone era that from times perspective, is colors with a rosy tint of nostalgia.
The Golden Age of Aviation is generally considered to be book-ended by the end of World War I (1919) and the beginning of World War II (1939). It was a time when civil aviation, supercharged by many daring and dramatic record-breaking feats, became popularized. The catalyst that made this possible was in part cheap surplus military aircraft made available after the First World War. In addition many records were being set including trans-atlantic and round-the-world flights. This craze, fueled by lucrative prize-money offered in competitive air racing created the perfect storm for aviation to thrive. Many people associate this period coincided with "barnstorming". Barnstorming was a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s. Stunt pilots would perform tricks with airplanes, either individually or in groups. The term was also applied to pilots who flew throughout the country selling airplane rides.
The Golden Age also produced some of the most skilled pilots who would be instrumental in the success of the US Army Air Corp and Naval Aviators during World War II on all sides of the conflict.1929 was not a great year. This year marked the end of the Roaring Twenties after the Wall Street Crash of 1929 ushered in a worldwide Great Depression. Meanwhile in Stratford, Connecticut the aviation business was thriving. On July 5th 1929 the Bridgeport Airport was dedicated and open for business. Across Main Street, a Russian immigrant opened a major manufacturing business building seaplanes. That man was Igor I. Sikorsky. The Curtiss Flying School was started by Glenn Curtiss to compete against the Wright Flying School of the Wright brothers. By 1929, the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce took over licensing of aviation schools. Curtiss schools were registered and required to give two weeks of ground school instruction to new pilots. In 1928/29 2 hangars were erected. One utilizing a straight roller sliding door system and the other, much larger used a track system that allowed the doors to stack inside against the sides. The bigger hangar was wrapped with glass creating almost a "Cathedral of Aviation" In the mid 30's the hangar was leased to the Bridgeport Flight Service. In 1938 all hell broke loose when a category 5 Hurricane slammed New England.
The New England Hurricane of 1938 was the first major hurricane to strike New England since 1869. It made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on Long Island on September 21. The hurricane was deadly and it is estimated to have killed between 700- 800 people, damaged or destroyed over 57,000 homes, and caused property losses estimated at US$306 million ($4.7 billion in 2012). As late as the early 50's , damaged trees and buildings were still seen in the affected areas.
It remains the most powerful, costliest and deadliest hurricane in recent New England history, although Superstorm Sandy in 2012 may change that. Eastern Connecticut was in the eastern side of the hurricane. Long Island acted as a buffer against large ocean surges, but the waters of Long Island Sound rose to unimaginable heights. Small shoreline towns to the east of New Haven were nearly destroyed from the water and winds. To this day, the 1938 hurricane holds the record for the worst natural disaster in Connecticut's 350-year history. Bridgeport Municipal Airport saw extensive water damage from the storm. The Curtiss hangar lost its west wall. It was later replaced with a cinder block lean to hangar area, big enough to house a Cub and an office with storage. In the late 30's flying was coming into it's own and the Hangar was featured in a newspaper column "Inside the Hanger" in the Stratford Messenger. Many of the guys Haunting the Hangar became famous, at least locally. During World War 2 the general aviation business was more or less shuttered. Pilots were working for the War effort and numerous J3 Cubs were stacked tail up, nose down in the hangar.
In 1972 the blue metal building was added on. December 31st 1998, Bridgeport Flight Service was locked out of their fuel farm by the airport over issues with rent & maintenance. From that point forward it quickly became an eyesore with everyone calling for its demolition.
Enter our part of the story. The Connecticut Air & Space Center will be restoring this gem of aviation history to function as an annex and to to display the Sikorsky Memorial Corsair and Whitehead #21 Flyer as well as many other artifacts.
