Modern day blacksmith – Anthony Moore displays his iron sundial at the show, a piece that took several days to create from flat iron pieces. Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, there are many people in need within our community. These people may be single parents, parents with special needs children, singles, seniors or large families. The holidays should be a time of joy, but for many it can be a time of hardship and a reminder that money is tight and times are hard. Nobody deserves to be down at Christmas. This year, your community newspaper is starting a new holiday tradition. We call it, “The Giving Back Project”. Here’s what we’re proposing: there are people living in abundance, and people who need a little help to get through the holidays. We want to match these people anonymously. Each week, we will list the families who have come forward for help – no names, just family statistics, including the number of children (if any), their ages and the number of adults in the household. Community members, looking to sponsor a family, can then select the family they’d like to sponsor and we will “match” them. Once matched, the family will be removed from the list of available families. Although there is no guarantee of getting a match, we hope that community members in need of help will come forward and ask for the assistance they need. Likewise, we hope that those living in abundance will select a family to help – in recognition of the true meaning of the holiday season. All gifts will be dropped off, labelled for their intended recipient, at our office (either Beeton or Shelburne) before December 19th. Once here, the receiving family will be notified and they can come and collect their presents at a separate time. If there is an issue collecting the gifts, due to a lack of transportation or shyness, they will be delivered to you. Local businesses who wish to add to the gifts available can also donate gift cards or items, for a specific family or just in general. 100 per cent of all items collected will make it into the hands of those in need. Interested families can submit their request to be matched by mail at: Photo submitted Simcoe–York Printing & Publishing Ltd.

Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his death in Dallas, Texas on November 22nd. 5,000 people attended the event at Dealey Plaza in Dallas where the 35th President of the United States was assassinated. “It is with heavy hearts that Canadians remember this tragic event that occurred fifty years ago, an event that profoundly changed the world,” said Dr. Leitch. “Presi- dent Kennedy has left an indelible legacy of promoting freedom, democracy, human rights and a commitment to public service.” In Canada he will be remembered for his May 17, 1961 address before the Canadian parliament, wherein he de- scribed the Canada – US relationship in terms that contin- ue to today: “Geography has made us neighbours. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder. What unites us is far greater than what divides us. ” Attending this event demonstrates Canada’s continued friendship with the United States as a trusted friend, part- ner, and ally – a connection that has lasted for decades. “The friendship of our two countries is one rooted in deep history, and is admired around the world for strength of its bonds,” said Dr. Leitch. “We as people, and nations, have stood shoulder-to-shoulder through heartbreak and triumph. It is the strength and resolve of Canadians and Americans alike that have made our countries peaceful and prosperous, now, and well into our future.” Photo by Richard Blanchard Joining Santa for tea – Adjala–Tosorontio councillor The sympathies of all Canadians go out to the American Floyd Pinto provided a hand to Santa Claus in the gift giv- people as they mark this important day in American his- ing at the Adjala–Tosrontio residents’ annual Seniors Tea last tory.

A great first impression that held true

Emlyn was careful in choosing her retirement community. She took the time to look at six different residences before choosing Kingsmere Retirement Suites. It was the friendliness of the people, the activities and the cleanliness of the building that won her over and her first impression couldn’t have been more accurate. “Life is good,” Emlyn says. “There’s always something to do. I’ve made lots of new friends and people are very friendly.”

Let Kingsmere impress you too. Call 705.434.4600 today to arrange your personal tour.
