Ornaments
share
messages
of hope
and peace
(NC) — Here are a few ways of
using sparkling Christmas
ornaments to share messages of
hope and peace.
1. Put aside a number of crystal or
shimmering Christmas tree
ornaments to drape along your
windowsill.
They will capture and reflect
sunlight during the day and
lamplight in the evening, and add to
the warmth of your holiday,
surroundings.
Your neighbours will also enjoy
this beautiful holiday display.
2. When selecting ornaments, take
time to choose those that convey a
personal message and say something
meaningful about the holiday
season.
3. Nothing puts a smile on a
person's face like a happy surprise.
Display Christmas ornaments, alone
or in groupings, in unexpected
places around the home.
Whether they be on a
nightstand, along a bookshelf, or in
and amongst a bowl of Christmas
candies, your family and friends will
delight in discovering these tiny
treasures.
4. If you are giving Christmas
ornaments to family and friends this
year, select pieces that will have as
much meaning in 20 years as they do
today.
Many ornaments become
heirlooms and today's thoughtful
gifts can grow into lasting treasures.

Finally the day has come when
you are able to afford the car of your
dreams. You spot the one you have
been waiting for. In no time the
money is gone but the keys are in
your hands. You are now on your
way home cruising down Hwy. 86 at
60 mph with the engine just a
purring when out of nowhere a deer
leaps in the path of your new car.
Your brakes screech to a halt, but it's
too late — WHAM.
It is the car of your dreams.
Doesn't it deserve the auto body
shop of its' dreams?
Over the past month and half I had
the privilege to do my co-operative
education placement at McNeil's
Auto Body which is located on
Orchard Drive in Brussels.
I am very fortunate to learn this
trade from a well-known and skilled
body man, Don McNeil. He has
been in business for over three
decades and has gained a very
positive reputation across Canada.
Don has done some very unique
and one-of-a-kind work over the
years. He has also been willing to
teach co-op students and apprentices
his secrets of the trade.
Andrew Southgate of McNeil's
Auto Body, has achieved a bronze
medal in auto body in all of Ontario
and is now a licensed auto body man
at Don McNeil's. Completing the
fleet at McNeil's Auto Body is
Andrew McDonald, an aspiring
apprentice, and Sue McNeil, who is
the secretary.
It has been a pleasure to be able to
be part of the team and a privilege to
be able to work alongside them. I
would like to thank them all for
taking their time and teaching me
new skills every day.

I am attending F.E. Madill
Secondary School in Wingham. This
is my second year in the co-
operative education• program. My
co-op teacher is Mrs. Wheeler.
My placement is at Sacred Heart
School at 225 Cornyn St., Wingham.
My schedule is different for every
day of the week. I am working in the
primary division of the school.
On Mondays I am with Kelly
Anderson in the Kindergarten room,
Tuesdays I am with Camilla Ippolito
in the Grade 2/3 room, on
Wednesday and Thursday I am with
Mary Skinn in the Grade 1/2 room
and on Fridays I am with Linda
McKay in the kindergarten room.
I walk into the classroom and an
instant smile goes on my face. I am
so happy to see the smiles on the
students' faces. Depending on what
classroom I am in, I do a variety of
tasks. I generally work with the
students one on one. I also do a
variety of different tasks for my
supervisors such as photocopying,
making activities, working with the
students, helping students that need
help on a special subject, etc.
As my day goes on the students
smile, giggle, laugh and learn lots.
My day gets better when I walk into
the hall and I see any of my co-
workers. They always say "Hi" to
greet me whether they are busy or
not.
That is a typical day at Sacred
Heart. My supervisors always keep
me busy and that is the main idea. I
can say that Sacred Heart is a great
school to co-op at because you also
learn new things while you are in the
school.
I am really enjoying my placement
because my supervisors and the
students make me feel very welcome
and always make me feel at home
while I spend my time there.
Ellen Procter
am co-oping at Turning Heads
and Making Waves in Brussels. My
supervisor, who is also the owner of
the business, is Janice Machan.
I started my co-op placement in
September 2006 and I am finished in
January of 2007. I work Monday to
Wednesday and Fridays. Thursday
and Sundays are her days off and she
also works most Saturdays.
I took the co-op to see if
hairdressing is something that I
would like as a career before I put all
of the time and money into my
career choice. I also wanted some
hands-on experience to prepare
myself for what could possibly lie
ahead.
I am very excited about
hairdressing in the future, and would
like to thank Janice for giving me
this opportunity.

"Police ... Don't Move!"
I hope you have never been told
this phrase before in a real situation.
However, I can imagine that some
have been in contact with the police
in some form or another either
through speeding or parking tickets.
I am a fifth-year student at F.E.
Madill in Wingham. I have had the
opportunity not once, but twice to
participate in the two credit co-
operative education program at my
school. Last year I was able to do a
placement at the Wingham Public
School and this year I am
completing it at the Wingham Police
Service.
Every- morning throughout the
week, I head down to the police
station to begin my day. Each day
tends to be a little different from the
day before, however, there are
several things that I do on a daily
basis. One of these things
includes patrolling with either a
constable, the chief or the sergeant,
which allows me to observe -and be
part of ticketing, and lets me
understand what to look for when
patrolling.
I have also been able to participate
in an investigation, which broadened
my horizons on this field of work
and helped me understand what this
career can involve.
On Oct. 24 and 25, I was invited to
participate in a Use Of Force
Training Program held in Port Elgin.
This is a training program where
officers from the surrounding area
gather once a year to refresh their
memories and skills in their use of
force options. At the training
program I learned so many new
things that are necessary for me to
know as I work towards this career.
As you can tell, a co-op
experience will benefit anyone in the
long run. I strongly suggest to any
student contemplating more than
one field of work to work towards as
a career, to take part in a co-op
program at their school. You can
either participate in the four, or two
credit co-op program. What better
way to gain your high school
diploma than by doing something
out of the classroom and something
you will enjoy?
All in all, this experience has been
very positive and exciting. I would
like to thank the officers at the
station and my teacher Mrs. Wheeler
for giving me this opportunity, and
working with me so I can gain a
positive insight into this career.
