It really prepared me for the intensity of putting together 200 name tags. Strings into little holes; it was DIFFICULT.
The best was that a colleague pointed this out to me - an overqualified mail stuffer this afternoon.
"My dad would be so proud!"
Most Canadians who grew up in the era of majority governments expect a federal vote every four or five years. But university students who have come of voting age amid three elections in that same span may feel they have stumbled into some sort of electoral Groundhog Day, marching to the same ballot boxes to choose the same leader.
But is this democratic déjà vu making them more aware? Are they turned off by the partisanship and tuning out? Or are they simply detached from the machinations of Parliament Hill?
Unlike the 2006 and 2008 elections, which were held in the new year and the fall respectively, this campaign falls squarely in the university exam season. And as McMaster Students Union vice-president Joe Finkle put it, a looming exam worth 40 per cent of one's mark "takes top of mind."
Still, students can be among the most engaged citizens: they form their own governments on campuses, organize, rally and hold politicians to account through social media: large, student-led demonstrations against tuition hikes in Quebec, the lively daily Twitter conversation or the recently launched Students Need to Vote campaign, which allows visitors to upload their own videos talking about the importance of voting to a "digital soap box."
Yet on the whole, Canada's youngest voters have earned a reputation for apathy. According to Elections Canada, only 37.4 per cent of eligible 18 to 24-year-olds voted in the 2008 election, by far the lowest percentage of any age group and substantially fewer than the 43.8 per cent who voted in 2006.
Boredom, or apathy?
Yet another in a long series of articles bemoaning low youth voter turnout. We can cite figures from past elections all we want, but this isn't just a normal election - it's a transformational election. We're far from apathetic.
This year's election isn't about renewing a government's mandate, as might be the case in a majority Parliament situation. But it's not, and it hasn't been for a while. We have some enormous decisions to make as a country in the next few years: health care transfer payments; being part of a worldwide economic recession, one that our cousins to the south and across the pond can't seem to get out of; finding the money to reinvest in our educational system at all levels; climate change and developing new forms of energy; repairing our own broken prestige around the world; improving society so that everyone has the opportunity to succeed and to pursue their dreams. We have track records we can look back on: Liberal governments in the 90's and early aughts, or the last five years of Conservative distractions. Students, for decades, haven't been taken seriously as a voting bloc. As a group, we used to be respected, even feared. Past generations of youth elected progressive governments, demanded functional politics and helped to usher in revolutions in law and society. For better or worse, they even caused a former prime minister to essentially declare martial law on the citizens of his own province - and the effects of that crisis are still felt today, all across the country.
Calling our generation apathetic is a lazy insult and a weak justification to keep the voter turnout down (see: defeatism). Now boredom…we can be awakened from that particular slumber and unite to make our opinions and voices heard loud and clear, from sea to sea to sea and all the way back to Parliament Hill.
We have an entrenched civil right in our Charter to be heard and to have our votes counted. We have a right that we seemingly take for granted, a right that thousands of people are dying in cold blood for in certain parts of the world, even as I type this. We're lucky to live in a free and democratic society, so start acting like it, and get out there and vote - exams and studying be damned.
Boredom? Apathy? Never.
I just want to ask, who in the hell has exams in May? May? Because that is when the election is, isn't it? Oh, I see, you're just trying to claim that we're suffering from boredom and apathy. Oh fine, carry on.

But the Count is exceedingly resourceful, employing superhuman strength, psychic powers, and shape-changing to confound and frustrate his antagonists.

Additionally, a lobby display will showcase costumes and architecture of the Paris Opera House as well as memorabilia from Hanover's former Opera House located on West Chestnut Street.
Based on a novel by Gaston Leroux, "Phantom" tells the story of a deformed composer who haunts the Paris Opera House and falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine. The show recently celebrated its 25th anniversary on Broadway.
Shelby Barnes plays Christine, the chorus girl secretly trained vocally by the Opera Ghost, played by Clay Reichart. The phantom does everything he can to make Christine the star of the opera until he ultimately takes her to his lair for her to become his eternal bride. Rene Staub is director of the production.
The haunting theme "Phantom of the Opera" highlights the score along with favorites such as "Think Of Me," "Angel Of Music," "Music Of The Night," "Prima Donna," "All I Ask Of You," "Masquerade" and "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again."
The lavish set will feature a locally-made chandelier sponsored by Diane and Sal Capolla. Other distinctive set pieces include a full-size elephant and handpainted drops made by the drama team, students and parents.
Disney's The Little Mermaid, Jr, will take the stage at Hanover High School November 30, December 1 & 2, the weekend after Thanksgiving. Award-winning Hanover drama students will spread theatrical magic to take audiences under the sea with spectacular special effects, lavish costuming and innovative set design. This family-friendly show will have youngsters of all ages enjoying popular tunes from the animated film such as PART OF YOUR WORLD, UNDER THE SEA, POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS and KISS THE GIRL, as well as new songs from the Broadway musical, including SHE'S IN LOVE, HUMAN STUFF and LES POISSONS.
McKenzie Sherman leads the cast as the young mermaid, Ariel, who longs to be human. Cullen Rosenbrien plays the seafaring prince, Eric. Caleb Gerlach plays Grimsby. Lily Tran swims her way on stage as Flounder and Isaac Silver performs his crabby antics as Sebastian. Tyler squawks as the know-it-all seagull, Scuttle. Jenny Dell plays the villainous sea witch, Ursula. Ariel's mersisters are played by Georgie DeCosmo, Haley Frederick, Rachel Kelley, Brenna Sheaffer, Cheyenne Shifflett and Becca Silver. The almighty Triton is played by Garrett Reichart who is best known as his portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge in last year's A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Garrett's brother, Clay Reichart, will bring the house down as Chef Louis as he sings Les Poisson's.
The cast and crew of over 60 students include 6 technical dancers and 2 gymnasts. The mermaids and fish will appear to glide across the sea's bottom with their "merblades," shoes that have wheels built into them, more popularly known as Heelys. Multiple production numbers and the comedic script will be sure to become a fond memory of all who come to see this spectacular musical event.
The full version of the musical, The Little Mermaid, with full orchestrations was not available yet, so when the director found out there was a new version available based on the Broadway musical with recorded accompaniment, the production team was thrilled to be able to produce it. Special effects and lighting will make the stage go from land to an undersea world of glowing coral reefs and sea life.
Rene Staub, director and co-founder of Acts of Kindness Theatre Company, is the director, Jessica Staub is Assistant Director, Deb Smith is Music Director and Sara Flynn is the Choreographer.

Why we must address U.S. population growth
If the U.S population continues to grow like the 1900-2000 decade (13 percent every 10 years), mathematically the U.S. will have half of China's current population within the lifetimes of today's children.
Why should we stabilize the U.S. population?
Due to many factors and policies, the United States is overwhelmed with many problems -- high unemployment, severe chronic budget deficits, failing education, rising poverty, out-of control healthcare costs, shortage of water, high energy costs, urban sprawl, etc. These problems are exacerbated by 3 million people added to the U.S. every year who are essentially jobseekers, students, patients, drivers, polluters, and users of water, energy and other natural and fiscal resources.
Considering that the median household income in the U.S. is way below $55,000 and the cost of educating a child a year alone averages well over $9000, the taxes that most people pay, especially those who have limited incomes,are insufficient to cover the numerous social services provided to their families such as education, construction and maintenance of roads/bridges, fire/police/emergency/prison/court services, traffic/pollution control, homeland security measures, etc. Therefore, continued pouplation growth will put additional pressure on our government budgets, increase poverty in the United States and further degrades our environment.
More people competing for dwindling resources will increase social and racial tensions. Leaders in China are under constant pressure to create jobs: They realize that high unemployment will lead to social unrest and political instability.
Due to our highly polluting lifestyle, continued population growth in the United States will also exacerbate global warming.
Is it possible that the United States can become as overpopulated as China?
The U.S. population has more than quadrupled since 1900, from 75 million to 313 million in early 2012. This despite a time-out from mass immigration between 1925 to 1965 during which the average immigration level was less than 200,000 per year. (Since 1990, every year over 1.2 million foreign-born nationals come and live permanently in the United States.) In recent years, immigration advocates have continuously pushed for legislation to increase immigration. If the U.S. quadruples its population one more time, it will have over 1.25 billion people (313 million X 4), which is about India's current population!
We must realize that the inconceivable can become reality. For example, in the 1940's, when Los Angeles County was mostly farm land, few Californians could imagine that within less than 40 years that area could become so highly congested. Presently, grade-school students in North Carolina speak 170 languages while most students in many school districts in the Twin Cities are minority children.
How does mass immigration contribute to the U.S. population growth?
Since 1987, legal immigration has averaged about 1 million a year. According to conservative estimates, about 400,000 illegal immigrants enter the U.S. annually. An analysis of Census data by the Center for Immigration Studies shows that nearly 70 percent of the population growth between 1990 to 2000 was immigration-related. Our federal government also grants many categories of "temporary" working visas to foreign-born professionals and most of them stay permanently in the U.S.
We are a nation of immigrants. How can we support immigration reduction?
If responsible parents limit their family sizes so that they can better care for their existing children, shouldn't the United States stabilize its population so that it can better provide for Americans citizens and legal immigrants already here? In addition, circumstances in this country have changed: The United States is now the greatest debtor nation in the world's history due to many of our shortsighted domestic and foreign policies. (The list of foreign holders of U.S. Treasury notes is posted on the website of the U.S. Department of Treasury, http://www.treas.gov/tic/mfh.txt). Furthermore, an Associated Press article, "Census: 1 in 7 Americans live in poverty", cites the latest Census Bureau report: The overall poverty rate in the United States "climbed to 14.3 percent, or 43.6 million people".
American leaders must realize that the U.S. is an empire in decline. This is the essence of Harvard Professor Niall Ferguson's message when interviewed on Tech Ticker on October 20, 2009.
In addition, according to Cornell University Professor David Pimental, if the U.S. continues to lose farm land at its current rates, by 2040, this country will not be able to export food. If the U.S. population growth continues, from which countries should we import food to feed our growing population?
Furthermore, an Associated Press article of July 11, 2010 entitled "Debt commission leaders paint gloomy picture" posted on Yahoo! reported: "The heads of President Barack Obama's national debt commission painted a gloomy picture Sunday as the United States struggles to get its spending under control...The nation's total federal debt next year is expected to exceed $14 trillion - about $47,000 for every U.S. resident."
On July 22, 2010 the Los Angeles Times extensively reported on Federal Reserve Charman Ben Bernanke's "unusually uncertain" economic outlook during congressional testimony of July 21:
"This is the worst labor market, the worst episode, since the Great Depression," Bernanke said of long-term unemployment. "Not only for the sake of the unemployed and for the short-term strength of the economy but also for a long-term viability in international competitiveness, I think we need to be very seriously concerned."
U.S. population growth set to pass half-billion
at mid-century!
Census Bureau projections have historically been low
(Read and print this subsection as a separate pdf file.
In 1933 Herbert Hoover's Committee on Social Trends forecast that "we shall probably attain a population of between 145 and 150 million during the present century." This prediction was off by over 130 million.
- In 1996, Census Bureau projections under its most probable "middle series" scenario showed the U.S. population reaching 394 million in 2050. Updated projections released in January 2000 increased that mid-century projection to 404 million. After the 2000 census, the Bureau increased its current mid-level projection for U.S. population in 2050 to 420 million.
- Projections about future U.S. population involve assumptions about fertility, mortality, and immigration. Given the inherent uncertainties of these assumptions, it may be more accurate to project the U.S. population using the current growth rate, the rate for which we have hard data. From 1990 to 2000, our country's population increased from 249 million to 282 million-an increase of 13 percent.
- If we continue at our current growth rate, our population will reach 522 million in 2050-even without another amnesty! This is much closer to the high-level projection of 553 million for 2050 that the Bureau made in 2000 than it is to its mid-level projection of 404 million.
- That same high-level projection shows the U.S. population reaching 1.2 billion in the year 2100. (Current Census Bureau projections do not extend beyond 2050.)
- The Bureau report issued in 2000 also included a "zero net migration" projection. Under it, U.S. population would reach 377 million in 2100, versus 571 million under the mid-level projection. In other words, two-thirds of U.S. population growth results from immigration.
- The above projections were made before the amnesty and other immigration increases proposed in the Senate bill. According to the Congressional Budget Offi ce, that legislation would increase the number of legal immigrants by nearly 20 million just over the next decade. Robert E. Rector, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, estimated that the Senate bill would add 60 million legal immigrants to the U.S. over the next 20 years.

Your 2010 tax return: 5 ways to help you save!
It's that time again! That's right, tax time. Have you been procrastinating? The deadline to file your 2010 tax return is April 30, 2011.
I know it's a headache, searching through receipts and statements piled in a (or many) random spot(s) in your home. Baring your financial habits to the stranger you are paying to file your tax return correctly. Instead of considering it a burden, think of it as a possibility to save!
The government offers tax credit opportunities for individuals and families, and you should take full advantage. It's not often they give the little guys a break.
Be sure to consider the following 5 credit opportunities while organizing your taxes:
- Public Transit Tax Credit: You can claim up to 15% of your monthly or yearly public transit costs;
- Children's Fitness Tax Credit: You may be eligible for up to $75 return if your children (under the age of 16) were enrolled in physical activity programs (e.g. swimming, soccer, ballet, gymnastics, etc);
- Child Care Expenses: You can claim expenses related to having your child (under the age of 16) cared for, including daycare, nursery school, day camps, in-home caregivers, or educational institutions;
- Caregiver Amount: You may claim up to $4,223 if you have shared a dwelling and have cared for a dependant (over the age of 18) who is dependent on you due to a physical or mental impairment;
- First Time Home Buyer's Tax Credit: You can claim up to $5,000 as a first-time home buyer if you, your spouse or common-law partner bought a qualifying home.
Now that you feel inspired to claim what is rightfully yours, get going. I have prepared a basic Tax Return Checklist that can help you get started. Of course, please add to and modify the document to suit your needs. And, be sure to click on the provided links to learn more about each possible tax credit.
Many happy returns!

Greg Zanis, the carpenter who last year erected 12 crosses in honor of the victims of the Aurora movie theater shootings, said he will return to Aurora to put up 12 crosses again on the tragedy's one-year anniversary.
In a phone call to the Post late Sunday, Zanis said the crosses will go up early Saturday at the corner of South Sable Boulevard and East Centerpoint Drive, across from the theater in the same location as a year ago.
Zanis, of Aurora, Ill., said he will simply erect the crosses, call out the names of the 12 who died in the shooting, and observe a moment of silence.
There won't be any speeches, he said. "I'm not a speech-giving guy." He will take the crosses down Sunday at 9 p.m., he said.
Zanis has traveled the country to put up his crosses. He erected three at the site of the Boston Marathon bombing in April and in 2011set up crosses in Tucson, Ariz., where U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot and severely wounded.
He became known to Coloradans in 1999 when he erected crosses after the Columbine High School shootings, sparking controversy when he included two crosses for the shooters as well as 13 for the victims. A father of one of the victims took down the two crosses for the shooters.
The 13 crosses for the Columbine victims were moved and still stand on a small parcel of private land, which Zanis said was donated to him, near Roxborough State Park.
