Découverte impressionnante
au 137 rue St-Ferdinand
par Lilie Athéna
Lundi le 12 novembre dernier, quelques jeunes
du Centre Communidée marchaient le long
de la clôture du terrain de soccer à côté du
parc Louis Cyr, quand, tout d’un coup
ils ont remarqué un oiseau sur un fil.
En y regardant de plus près, ils remar-
quèrent un trou dans le mur de briques
et dans le trou il y avait un oiseau!!! Ils
venaient de découvrir un nid d’oiseaux
dans le mur de la bâtisse! Malheureu-
sement, les oiseaux se sont envolés trop
vite pour qu’on puisse identifier l’espèce
de l’oiseau, mais nous avons quand même
réussi à les prendre en photo.
Alors, si vous passez à côté du terrain de soccer, pensez à
regarder dans le mur…

THE ART-ICLE
by Liam Carrell
Every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. in the Atelier, there is an art class
with Suzanne and Leneya. We make puppets.
So far, we did stick puppets, puppet theaters, papier mâché
puppets, cape monsters (I led that class), paper plate drawings, glove
puppets and paper bag birds. I made an owl.
I like the class. It is very creative. I also liked that time when I led a class (it was
cape monsters). Suzanne and Leneya are great teachers.I also did an interview
with them last Tuesday. Here is part of it:
Q: Why do you give an art class? Q: When did you start getting interested in art?
Leneya: It makes me happy. I get to see you guys, Suzanne: When I was your age.
be creative and have fun, and that makes me
happy. Leneya: Me too. I did art with my mom when I
was younger.
Suzanne: It’s a privilege to have something I love
so much and to watch how wonderful and creative Q: In which place did you start making art?
the kids are. Suzanne: In Nova Scotia.
Leneya: Here, I grew up in Montreal, on the West
Q: Is it easy to be a teacher? Island.
Leneya: It’s easy because we love it, but it takes a
lot of energy! Q: (to Suzanne): Where did you grow up? In Nova
Scotia?
Suzanne: Once the project gets going, it’s a lot Suzanne: All over Canada.

Observing Beauty
by Sionna Ellison
Fall is such a beautiful time of year, when all the leaves change from
green to yellow, and the weather begins to get colder. Here in Que-
bec, we experience the seasonal changes that bring different kinds
of beauty. There is so much beauty in nature but a lot of the time we
don’t notice the little things in life that are worth observing. If we take the time
to notice them, we can be moved unexpectedly by something we thought was
mundane. Even the smallest things can make a positive impact on your life.
Everyday there’s something new to see as the season progresses. Some days
are bright and sunny, while others are cloudy, and the sky is filled with fluffy
clouds, while at night it becomes full of iridescent stars. I like to photograph
these things because it’s capturing a moment in time that you will have forever.
It remembers the little things long after you have forgotten everything. That, I
find is really special. It also allows you to share the experience with others.
Arts
This is a magnificent tree that I saw in the park and was inspired to photograph.
The contrast of the yellow leaves against the blue sky is really breathtaking. Its
towering presence makes you contemplate how long it’s been alive. Everyday
when I see the tree, there’s something different about it. It’s interesting to see
how it changes over time. These two photos are of the same tree and within a
month, it has been transformed.
page 10A single leaf can also be an inspiring
subject to photograph. You notice the fine
details of the leaf with a closer focus. I took
this photo because the leaf looks like it had
almost been perfectly placed.
The shadow emphasizes the outline of the
leaf even more. The leaf is there in the mo-
ment and it would be easy to just overlook
it. Noticing it takes you into that moment,
and appreciating the beauty is uplifting.
Beauty surrounds us daily, especially in
nature. It is free and accessible to everyone.
Sometimes we are busy, but it’s important
to take time for it. It’s good to take breaks
from our busy lives to realize the value of
our extraordinary planet.

A story by Sinead Chapdelaine
“Sadness, my old friend, can we have an agreement?” Sadness plops
down in an oak chair: “how come the birds of Hope were killed?”
“All I heard that night was silence die,” I replied. Sadness chewed on
its lower lip, “Well, that’s depressing.” it whispered.
“Very,” I said, suppressing a moan of sorrow. I gazed off into space, then turned my attention
to the window. Outside, the moon had arisen, cutting into the dark sky. I refocused my atten-
tion toward Sadness who was looking at me through sad eyes.
“Listen,” It began, “when I pass will… will you take my place?” I froze to my chair, blinking
away tears. I knew that being offered the place of Sadness was a big thing. But did I really
want to spend the rest of my life dwelling on the past, instead of hoping for the future? I
shook my head, then took a big sip from the organic strawberry tea I had served.
“Oh, Carol please,” It moaned. “If you don’t replace me, then Sadness will be gone forever.”
And would that really be a bad thing? I thought. I blew the thought off; I looked Sadness in
the eyes.
“Look Sadness, the Devil already offered me his job and I turned him down… What would
he think if I said yes to you but no to him? Besides I like my job.” Sadness started to cry. I
thought for a moment.
“Can I… think about your proposal?” I asked. Sadness sniffed: “yes, yes of course.” I paused:
“So, how are things?” I asked, clearly trying to change the subject. “Well, I had a bit of a fall-
out with Anger.” Sadness looked down at Its lap.
“I couldn’t imagine why,” I said. Sadness usually missed sarcasm.
“Well, you know, Anger is just so Angry all the time. He was in his office screaming at
someone, so I asked him to stop… And well, it sort of evolved from there.” I yawned, lifting
the dust from the ratty, un-kept attic floor. I sipped my tea then, which by now tasted like dirt.
Arts
“I see,” I said slowly. “How’s your job going?” Sadness asked, eyeing me. I shrugged, “Well,
since I took Love’s place, its been pretty easy. You know, people fall in love so easily these
days.” Sadness nodded. “So I’ve heard.” I stood up.
“Sadness, I have some files to finish up so if we could just wrap this up…” Sadness stood
as well. “Of course, Carol. I just want to thank you for having me.” I smiled, “anytime.” We

led. I went and sat down on my sofa.
My phone started to ring. “Oh come on!” I yelled. I picked up, “Hello.” A muffled voice ans-
wered me “Hello Carol, this is Happiness calling… Mind if I drop by?”
