Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

    The Massey Murder: A Maid, Her Master, and the Trial That Shocked a Country Charlotte Gray Discussion Questions 1. Why did Carrie Davies return to her employer’s home after visiting her sister and brother-in- law? 2. Who was the victim in this story? 3. Was it the correct verdict - why do you think the jury came to the conclusion it did - was jus- tice done? 4. What role did newspapers play? Would the story be told differently today? 5. Why was evidence about Carrie’s virginity important? 6. What do you think about the idea of a separate court for female offenders, or of the defence of “unwritten law”? 7. What impression do you have of Crown prosecutor Edward Du Ver- net and defence lawyer Hartley Dewart? 8. What difference did it make that Canada was at war? 9. How did the women’s suffrage movement affect the case? 10. What difference did the jury’s decision make in the long-term?

  • The W.U.C. Uniter Woodroffe United Church 613-722-9250 Woodroffeunited.Org Lent 2016
    The W.U.C. Uniter Woodroffe United Church 613-722-9250 woodroffeunited.org Lent 2016 Minister’s Message Submitted by Rev. Kathryn Peate A study found (and yes, they do studies on everything nowadays) that people rarely laugh alone, but are six times as likely to laugh in the presence of another, and thirty times more likely to laugh when in a group. You can get a chuckle from jokes and video clips on the internet but not usually the powerful rib-tickling, knee-slapping, fall-over laughter you get when it bounces off others. Those who are parents know that often children can provide a great deal of laughter – if you are willing to look at each situation from a joy-filled perspective. For instance, I am the oldest of three children. My father married late in life (for that time) and was almost forty when I born. He spent the first two years of my life saying to anyone who would listen, “I can’t wait till she’s walking and talking.” Since then he keeps telling me he can’t wait till I sit down and be quiet. J God is a God of joy. I believe Jesus laughed a lot when He was on this earth. He must have – after all, He enjoyed spending time with children. Jesus also spent a lot of time with His disciples, who in their squabbling and misunderstandings, often must have seemed very childish at moments. What we want as Christians, is to experience joy – but not just joy for ourselves, but contagious joy.

  • Canadian International Charities by Country Or Region of Operation and Why This Information May Be Helpful
    CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL CHARITIES BY COUNTRY OR REGION OF OPERATION AND WHY THIS INFORMATION MAY BE HELPFUL Why is it useful to have a list of Canadian charities organized by countries or regions by which they operate? 1. If you are interested in a particular country it is interesting to note which Canadian charities are operating there. 2. If you are interested in supporting a particular countries development efforts then you have a list of some the charities that are operating there. 3. If an individual, organization or charity is interested in conducting a project in a particular country they may wish to partner with one of the charities on the ground. I am approached frequently by people interested in setting up charities and I usually try to dissuade and encourage them to work with an established charity that has similar interest. 4. If you are a Canadian charity it can help – if new project in new country can speak to some of the Canadian charities that have already operated there. 5. Also if a foundation has a particular interest in a country they may be a potential source of funds for a charity. 6. Need for greater coordination between charities – greater efficiencies – donors expecting that organizations will work together and not compete for the sake of competition. This information may be useful to encourage cooperation. Limitations and Caveats This information on which countries Canadian charities are conducting projects comes from the 2004 T3010 Registered Charity Information Return and specifically Q. C5 “For programs the charity managed directly, outside of Canada, list the countries or regions where programs were carried on.
