I am now seeing five gentlemen every day replied Gramma. As soon as I wake up Will Power helps me get out of bed. Then I go see John! Next, Charlie Horse comes to get me. When he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up, and stays for the rest of the day. He doesnt like me to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from Joint to Joint. After such a busy day Im really tired and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay! The next day, a preacher came to call. He said at my age I should be thinking of the Hereafter.

Lend Me Your Ears We care about your hearing! Professional Arts Building 99 Sinclair Ave., Suite 210 Georgetown (905) 873-6642 New technology developed in the past several years can help most people with hearing loss to achieve improved communication. Todays hearing instruments have evo lved from s imple dev ices to remarkably sophisticated and technologically advanced personal hearing computers. In just the last few years, more advances in hearing aid techno logy have been made than throughout history. In many hearing aids, there are no longer knobs or controls, because the instruments automatically adjust loudness. Some hearing aids are programmed so that they require only the push of a button either on the hearing aid or on a wireless remote control to switch to different listening situations and provide balanced sound in the office, at home, on the telephone, or at a concert. Digital and digitally programmab le hearing aids have been introduced that amplify signals in new ways and make the benefits of hearing aids even more customized. Many hearing aids are v i r tua l ly computers w i th f lex ib le and sophisticated processors that analyze and respond to specific sounds. Some advanced hearing instruments process sound more than a million times per second. To f ind out more about these latest advancements call.... The Georgetown Independent & Free Press, Wednesday, October 29, 2008 15 A group of local youth is lending their time and creativity to a recently formed Junior Board of Hope with Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills (CAShh). The board, which was formed this September, consists of area youth including Jenny Bowser, Karen MacKinnon, Sarah Capaz, Haley Miles, Katie MacKinnon, Jackie Johnson, Amber Edwards and Molly MacKinnon who have come up with several ideas to help the CAShh sen- ior board in offering emotional, finan- cial and educational assistance to Halton residents and their families who have cancer. New members are welcome to join. Karen MacKinnon of George- town, a Grade 12 student at Christ the King, is happy to be a member of CAShhs Junior Board. Her family was touched by cancer when her little brother Alexander Ringuette was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of three. Fortunately, today he is in remission and doing well. Karen said while he was in treat- ment the family relied on support from CAShh and she recognizes all the good work they are doing for the residents of the area. She and other family members have long supported cancer causes in the community and with her sisters have held a Night at the Movies fundraiser for cancer in town over the past couple of years. All of the members of the board are students at secondary and ele- mentary schools in Georgetown and have many friends and family who are able and willing to support them, support others. Another member, Jenny Bowser, a Grade 12 student at Christ the King, is also excited to be working with the board. Personally Ive been affected by cancer quite a few times, said Bowser who recently lost two aunts to the disease. It (CAShh) is a very personal organization. It works directly with people in the communi- ty, and gives me a sense of being involved in my community. Last year she organized the suc- cessful fundraising event, Dancers for Cancer and is planning to make it an annual event. All the members of the Junior Board have a story to tell and a pur- pose behind their motivation to assist their neighbours and friends. Its goal is to hold monthly com- munity events to raise awareness and funds for CAShh. They intend to attend the Santa Claus Parades in both Georgetown and Acton, sharing hot chocolate with spectators at the parade and handing out flyers outlin- ing their groups purpose. And coming up Friday, the board is hosting an indoor trick or treating event at the Gellert Centre, 5-6 p.m. Oct. 31 for children aged 3 to 11. All proceeds (a minimum of $3 donation) will go directly to CAShh, which provides support to area resi- dents living with or surviving cancer. The event allows children to trick or treat in a safe, dry, warm environ- ment all for a good cause. The board needs volunteers to help at the event for two hours. The volunteers need to be cre- ative, fun, outgoing people who would like to enjoy seeing the excite- ment of Halloween trick or treating on the faces of up to 150 children in the short span of an hour. The sta- tions where kids can drop by can be as simple or elaborate as the volun- teers would like to make them. Anyone interested in volunteering at the Halloween event, joining the Junior Board of Hope or learning more about it is asked to call 905- 873-6944,647-444-4386 or e-mail Linda.ringuette@sympatico.ca LISA TALLYN Staff Writer Teens form CAShhs new Jr. Board of Hope Members of Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hillss newly formed Junior Board of Hope met for the first time recently at the CAShh office on Mountainview Rd.
