It must just make the jolly man chuckle to see all the excitement and lights when he comes to town. Love and co-operation seem the rules that Santa works by, so seeing everyone in one spot smiling and enjoying the company and the festivities, it's really no wonder he's so keen to come back to our parade and party year after year. Thanks to all the elves that once again made it happen. Parade winners are: overall, Knight A night to talk The Huron County Health Unit invites adults to ask the SPARK website youth team what it's like to be a teen in the 21st century. The Parent's Night group will meet at the Huron County Health Unit on Wednesday, Dec. 6. The meeting runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The group will give parents a chance to ask teens questions about their lives. The SPARK youth team would like to help break down the barriers between adults and teens. They will help parents find out what it's like to be a youth in Huron County. Adults can also find out about the family; rec and sports club, Minor Hockey; service club, Girl Guides; c o m m e r c i a l D & D Glass; animal entry, Hannah McCutcheon; best clown, Mark Beaven.

It's good to hear that Lois Thompson and Betty Shaw are getting their days at home organized and all is going relatively well. Way to go ladies, we always knew you were tougher than you let us think. It's nice you're home. My week was spent mostly in Toronto and once again I was reminded why I love living in Huron County. The bustle, the glitz, the hum, the buildings of the core of Ontario's capital were all fun and fascinating. The Royal York remains an old beauty where pomp and circumstance blend well with the new century. Doormen and bellhops dressed in their fine red and gold dress uniforms look good beside the customers in their jackets with teens .ssues teens face, and by working together create a community of understanding and respect for each other. SPARK is a youth-driven website tackling tough, local Huron County issues like drug use, binge drinking and depression, by those living with these pressures every day. The public is invited to come out and ask questions. Help break down these barriers and get a better understanding of youth in Huron County. For more information about the SPARK website, , visit www.youthspark.ca and jeans. The lobby invites you to sit down and admire the painting and woodwork of years gone by, and it makes a very fine spot to watch the people. The Ontario Nurse Association meets every two years to review the work and dreams of the 53,000 plus nurses who belong to this union. Every sector of nursing is represented and conversations were always enlightening. We were honoured to have Stephen Lewis, envoy to the United Nations in charge of AIDS/HIV in Africa as one of our speakers. His history as NDP leader and member of the legislature made his speech sparkle as he used that experience with his work now in .Africa. His command of the English language was a joy, full of humour and sly jokes and after learning that he spoke from a point form sheet that made the speech even more amazing. He is a hero. George Smitherman, Minister of Health, brought greetings from the Ontario government. He also is a good public speaker and encapsulated the work of his government in the past few years. As we were a little more familiar with his subject, Ontario healthcare, that made his job a little tougher and he did mention we were a little intimidating as a group. Evenings were free to do as we wished so since John Lowe and I don't often get away alone (with 800 other nurses) we hit the theatres. Wicked, the musical, the prelude to the Wizard of Oz was great. The costumes and lighting were worth the ticket and it's good to know the Wicked Witch of the North was really just misunderstood. The Canon Theatre, the Pantages of the past, is another of Toronto's jewels. Second City Theatre made a visit to the nurses at the Royal York and had done their homework and a lot of investigating as their skits were nurse and healthcare-based and of course extra funny to us alone. When the convention was done, son Curt picked me up for a visit just to remind me what downtown living is all about. To finish my time in Toronto properly, tickets for the Rockettes were obtained. It looked like the kind of high-kicking show Ralph might enjoy. It was better than I imagined — the Christmas spectacular was just that. The 18-high kicking dancers were just part of a vibrant, fast-paced show that hit every area of Christmas that you could imagine. A singing, dancing Santa surrounded by dancers and elves made the 90-minute show fly. The serenity of the camels, donkey and sheep amidst the awesome costumes of the Bethlehem story made the finale very special. Oh yes, it's good to be home.
