Sudbury Secondary School will mark 40 years of arts education excellence this fall
Sudbury Secondary School celebrates 40 years of arts education 5 hours ago Duration 1:08 Social Sharing Sudbury Secondary School will mark a significant milestone this fall — 40 years of arts education excellence. A former student, teacher, and now principal at the school, Heather Downey, said she's had the unique privilege of experiencing the Sudbury Secondary School arts program from every perspective. "I feel like I have a pretty decent historical context of it because I was in one of the first graduating classes," Downey told CBC News. "I came through as a dance major here and we still have a very similar process and a very similar program." Downey said the school has the longest and richest legacy of any high school in the area, adding that Sudbury Secondary School has been around since 1909 — "a very long legacy." She said, over the decade, students have been coming to the school to "hone their expertise in dance, drama or theatre, vocal music, instrumental music, visual arts, and now we've added other media arts and photography and piano and all kinds of other things." Downey said students are choosing Sudbury Secondary School "because they find like-minded people. That's first and foremost. And they get to do what they love." Noah Carniello is a former student who now performs as their drag persona, Carmen Dior. "I had an incredible artistic journey at Sudbury Secondary and it absolutely prepared me and launched me into my professional career in the arts," Carniello said. "I had been involved in the arts and theatre and music ever since I was young, especially with the Sudbury Theatre Centre growing up. So Sudbury Secondary was always the school I was going to attend. There was never really another option for me, and the arts program was absolutely the driving force for that." Carniello had high praises for the teachers, saying "they really had a big impact in my life and in my high school experience…They really uplifted us and supported us and, and really prepared us for life in the arts and in this industry, but ultimately for life in general." 'So many great experiences available here' Stephane Ostrander was a student at Sudbury Secondary School in the late 1990s and is now a media arts teacher at the school. "There's just so many great experiences available here," Ostrander told CBC Sudbury. "I never sang in a choir, but being exposed to the choir class and being invited to join choir on some of those music trips gave me a chance to kind of see what that could be. And then I ended up pursuing that afterwards in university and singing in choirs and then coming back here as a teacher to teach vocal music back in 2008." The 40th anniversary celebrations will run from Sept. 19 to 21, and will bring together alumni, staff, and supporters to commemorate the school's long-standing impact on the region's arts and culture landscape.

Mother's Day about sincerity, not grandiosity
Opinion Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My Dad gives his wife big presents on Mother's Day that far surpass anything us five kids could ever give her. Like, one year he gave her a little blue convertible sports car with a card on the windshield that read: 'Congratulations! Best Mom in the World!' Something else that's kind of creepy to my mind is our old dad still calls his own wife 'Mom,' not by her first name. That's kind of creepy in my mind! We have tried to tell him how stupid that sounds, but he just says in his big, booming voice. 'She's the mother of my five big brats, and that's you lucky guys, so shut up!' How are we kids supposed to compete with him and his mega gifts for 'Mom' every Mother's Day? — Oldest Son, Selkirk Dear Oldest Son: Don't compete, anymore, just relax and give Mom something personal and meaningful from you five 'kids' and a card with sincere words on it from all of you. Give her something she will keep to look at and smile. As for your dad calling his wife 'Mom,' he means 'the wonderful woman who is mother to my children,' boiled down to 'Mom.' There's nothing creepy about that. Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: It's Mother's Day, and I'm the only son of a great single mom. Sadly, I don't have much imagination for gifts. This year I finally have a good job, though, and some extra money, so I'm taking my mom out for lunch, and she's excited. What do you suggest for a fun activity afterwards? When I asked my mom what she'd like to do, she said, 'Just surprise me!' — Son in Need of Great Idea, St. Boniface Dear Son in Need: The plant nurseries are looking festive — like a beautiful spring party. So, go wild after lunch and take Mama to a couple of them. For instance, you'll find a half-dozen in a row, way out south on St. Mary's Rd. Tell her you're treating her to a pot of beautiful spring flowers, and she can choose. Don't be afraid to be a little mushy. Bring a card already dedicated to her with words of your appreciation and love. You can smoothly attach it to the plant purchase, as you carry it to the car. Give it to her as you're about to get in, saying, 'Thanks for being a great mom!' Then take a photo of you two and the precious plant, to share with others. Nothing like sharing a happy moment, and highlighting your mother. She'll love it. Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: Last year on Mother's Day, my divorced mom told me she was marrying again and she did — last August. I really liked the guy — still do — but Mom has already moved on. She is not the best mother-figure role model in the world. She has never really taught me and my sister how to find love and keep it. I'm not out to punish Mom on Mother's Day, but I haven't made a plan with her to do anything either. What could I do, last-minute? — Dragging My Feet, North Kildonan Dear Dragging: Buy your mom a little gift, along with a fun card that simply says 'Happy Mother's Day.' Tell her you're coming right over with your gift. That way you have honoured the occasion without putting on a big show that feels phoney. Was she a good mom in other ways, if you ignore her partnering choices? Think about those experiences on the way over, and have a nice chat when you visit that evokes good feelings.

The first video recorded the woman making a delivery on the porch of one home. After dropping off the package, the driver is then seen pulling up her shorts. According to the report, fecal matter was left on the stairs as well as an unknown wet substance. Another video submitted by the home owner revealed a dirty paper towel was left on the ground next to a planter. After watching coverage of the alleged pooping driver, another resident shared footage from their home security camera that showed the same female driver entering through their wooden gate shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday to deliver a package before she pulled down her shorts and urinated on the walkway. The woman turns her head to the camera and makes eye contact while doing her business, the report said. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Amazon said the driver will no longer be making deliveries for the company. 'We're deeply disturbed by the unacceptable behaviour of this delivery driver and apologize to the customers involved,' an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement to the station. 'We immediately identified the driver and they are no longer delivering on behalf of Amazon.' Read More
