A delicious twist to a Mother's Day staple
Darryl Coote
Reporter
About a baker's dozen of
children and their parents
were on hand Saturday, May
7, at the Ripley Huron Com-
munity Centre for a lesson in
cupcake icing and
decorating.
Starting at 10 a.m., chil-
dren were taught by local
baker Kirsten Walden on
how to transform cupcakes
through icing into a delecta-
ble bouquet of edible flowers
for Mother's Day.
Though a fundraising
event for the Bruce Botanical
Food Gardens, the lesson
was more about instilling
confidence in children than
making money, said mem-
ber of the green thumb
organization Mary Rose
Walden.
"It's to teach kids that they
can bake and they are capa-
ble of a lot more than we give
them credit for," Walden
said, who spent the day with
her daughter Kirsten who
taught the children the art of
cupcake decorating.
On hand with her 6 -year-
old daughter Ella was
Michelle Goncalves who
said the event was an inven-
tive way to spend Mother's
Day weekend.
"It's awesome. It's really
cool to get the kids involved
in the gardens and in cook-
ing. It's something different
to do for Mother's Day," she
said. "I never would have
thought of this if they hadn't
offered it. So it's been great
and I hope they do it again
next year:'

Movietime returns to
Lucknow Library this month

After the wildly successful
HAWK Theatre production,
movies will be returning to
the Lucknow Library in May.
On May 11 will be the
Oscar winning film 'Room'
based on the best-selling
novel by Emma Donoghue.
ROOM tells the extraordi-
nary story of Jack, a spirited
five-year-old who is looked
after byhis loving and devoted
mother. Like any good mother,
Ma dedicates herself to keep-
ing Jack happy and safe, nur-
turing him with warmth and
love and doing typical things
like playing games and telling
stories. Their life, however, is
anything but typical --they are
trapped --confined to a 10 -by -
10 -foot space that Ma has
euphemistically named
Room. Ma has created awhole
universe for Jackwithin Room,
and she will stop at nothing to
ensure that, even in this
treacherous environment,
Jack is able to live a complete
and fulfilling life. But as Jack's
curiosity about their situation
grows, and Ma's resilience
reaches its breaking point,
they enact a risky plan to
escape, ultimately bringing
them face-to-face with what
may tum out to be the scariest
thing yet: the real world.
Coming up on May 25
the Library will be showing
another Oscar winning film
- 'The Big Short'.
Based on the book by
Michael Lewis (writer of
Moneyball, Liar's Poker and
Flash Boys, among others),
The Big Short is the true story
of a handful of investors who
bet against the US mortgage
market in 2006-7. Through
their own research they dis-
covered that the US mortgage
backed securities market was
a bubble about to burst, and
they invested accordingly.
What they didn't initially
know was how structurally
flawed the MBS system was,
the level of corruption in the
market and the impact on the
average person when the
bubble burst.
Movies start at 6:30 p.m.
and are always FREE.
