creates all from scratchfeature pink elephants plump downs The cake of two good friends who Just happened to be chicken farmers pictured a delightful rooster and hen and said to a couple of good eggs These cakes are fun cakes and Evelyn says she loves doing them The cakes she makes for fam ily and friends the ones she doesn repeat and get paid for are her favourites But she loves creating unique wedding cakes too Flowers her fancy When she starts a wedding cake she can bake the cakes if the client wishes or use those baked by the brides family She also requests the bride to provide her own top piece and Evelyn will design the cake around It Her creations are all pictured In a scrap book is quick to say the photo graphs don t do the cakes Justico but they cer tainly look gorgeous to one who seen the originals Most of Evelyn wedding cakc3 are decorated with flowers roses daisies sweet peas and for winter polnseltias The top arrangements echo the frosted flowers with silk blooms Instead of the traditional plastic pillars Evelyn often uses inverted wineglasses so the bride and groom can find some use for them later One wedding anniversary cake is a piece of art in off white with old gold decorations giving a lovely antique look to the cake Icing for years Evelyn a hobby started when her first son Herb was a toddler She and husband Bruce had just moved to the farm where Bruce farms goats and donkeys and runs a farm equip ment repair service Evelyn took a course In decorating at the Guelph in the fall or She en ted practised and designed until her cakes become in demand from people who wanted to order specialities Now she teaches decorating and has run several courses from her own home She has also taught at the Eramosa night classes and at the Guelph The perfection and downright good taste of her cakes has people coming back with more orders Her prices are extremely reasonable Using a butter cream type icing made with vegetable shortening Evelyn can fashion any cake a client wants She says she really enjoys doing something unusual Sometimes my Ideas come out of desparation she says The vegetable shortening in the icing goes hard on contact with the air and that enables Evelyn to work without refrigeration on warm She uses a wide variety of tips bought sep arately from the metal guns she uses The boys Herb and Tom are Evelyn greatest critics they re often right ahe says and her most ardent pupils Herb likes nothing better than to squeeze all sorts of gooey animals out of the Icing gunit better than playdough The delicate coloring Evelyn achieves with her wedding flowers are designed to match brides colors Sometimes cakes are also decorated with sugar molds she makes herself from white granulated sugar and egg white It the only hobby

Vandalism not an Probation officer Dennis and Helen Dan from juvenile squad both agree that very few people are caught in the act of vandalism There is no separate section in the criminal code for vandal tarn A person can trial or vandal ism He or she can only be charged with mischief offences to property or wilful damage The normal police procedure in a case of vandal ism Is to speak to the owner of the property and find out If anybody in the area saw or heard anything that could help find the people responsible Officer Jim Turner from the Hal ton Regional Police stated bluntly his definition of vandalism any destruction to anything anywhere He was harsh when commenting on the reasons for van I think the parents and schools are to blame I think stricter parental leadership Is needed Stricter rules too They the vandals should all be locked up even for a first offence There is a need for more police and cars Schools ha ve alarms A new burglar alarm system has helped to de crease vandalism in Actons schools This alarm Is soiensltlve that If there Is a sudden drop in temperature the alarm goes off example of how the alarm works If a was let out of a cage allowed to run across the floor then the alarm would go off With this new alarm vandalism has steadily creased Now only the minor incidents such as broken light switch frames graffiti written on walls and smashed windows remain to be dealt with There Is a very very minimal amount of vand here slated Acton high school vice principal McLaren Mind you there Is vandalism in trace but most of it Is out of school time Broken windows things like that We did have an air vent damaged In school time though The people respon Bible were two youths from Burlington Parents were notified and damages were paid for When asked about the Vandalism problem Mr McLaren commented proudly compared to other schools we don t have much of a problem Visitors can believe this school has been occupied for three years McKemieSmllh Middle School principal John Simpson agreed No problem at the school Sure there the odd fire alarm pulled or damage done to the water fountains but nothing more serious Mngwood said Vandalism is a very minor pro blem Not much this year some graffiti written on walls Last year thought on two different week 14 or windows were broken Twoyearsago we had a few cases of break and enter Other than that Ron Chat ten principal at Robert Little School commented We ve had no major problems Wove had a few broken windows and we ve had an at tempted break and enter but the person responsible was apprehended and restitution was made St Joseph School Is without the alarm system In the last two years there have been four break ins at St Josephs We knew who was responsible Juveniles They took supplies Other than that no real problems principal Sean Brlggs said The general concensus among the five principals that vandalism is a minor problem ft seems that fire alarm pulling Is the mam concern Reasons for vandalism Larry Greaves head of the in Acton put it bluntly People don know how to amuse them selves today With that there are three other reasons why people vandalize according to
