Festival Young Company presents After Project In a year that has seen the devasta tion of the tsunami in South East Asia, (he death and election of a spiritual leader and the relentless images of war. the 2005 Blyth Festival Young: Company’s project The After Life encourages the participants to creatively explore ideas surrounding faith and heroes. Thirteen young adults have been exploring the theme with courage, adventure, challenge and a keen sense of humour. Beautiful and haunting. The After Life will be a collective piece of theatre that will showcase what they have created over the five weeks. The 2005 Young Company, under the professional direction of Marie Bcath Badian, is a six-weck theatre training program. Day by day. the company learns and acquires new skills from both traditional and alter native theatre practices while exploring the theme “After I .ife". “What has resulted is a vault ol fantastic original pieces that are all their own.” says Badian. whose dailv goal - both personally and proles sionally - is to "whole-heartedly embrace laughing.” The 2005 Young Company ensem ble consists of young people, rang ing in age from 12 to 18. from all across Huron County - Olivia McKague and Greg Munday (Wingham); Courtney Fleischauer, Alex Munnings, John Munnings.

The day was a tremen dous successful with a great sunny day and many children enjoying the lishing and vehicle equipment on display. This year will mark the second year of the program in Huron. Kids love fishing, and police per sonnel know the benefits of kids enjoying healthy outdoor activities. This inspired the Police Association of Ontario to team up with Bob Izumi. Canadian Tire Corporation and Fishing Forever to create a grassroots program that encourages youngsters to go fishing. Members of many police associa tions in several Ontario communities are organizing or working with organizers of existing fishing events to make it possible for kids to fish with police personnel. In this way. youngsters can learn to understand that police personnel are excellent role models and more than an authority figure. By interacting in a relaxed, fun environment, relation ships can be built that foster two- way respect between kids and the men and women whose first respon sibility is to protect them. The fishing days take place in sev eral Ontario communities. The event focuses on teaching kids to fish and to understand and appreciate their natural environment. The youngsters could be members of youth organi zations, social programs, or just kids from any neighbourhood. The target age group is up to age 16. In some cases, kids must register for the event. An application will need to be filled out by the parent on the day the child arrives. To register for the second fishing for cops day in Huron please call 1-519-524-8314 or fax 1-519-524-4434 or email Don.Shropshall@jus.gov.on.ca The day picked for the fishing pro gram is Saturday, Aug. 20 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at The Benmiller Falls Reserve Area stocked pond (just outside Benmiller).
