The Tour of the Cows Creamery

The clients and staff of P.C.C. went on a tour of Cows Creamery in Cornwall, PEI on Wednesday afternoon, September 21, 2011.  The tour guide took us around and showed us all the different stuff they make there. They make T-shirts and cheese and ice-cream. They gave us a sample of  their ice-cream. It is a big place. They have a very nice place.

Fall

by Cody Smith

Fall is here, and the air is getting colder.

The leaves are changing color and falling off onto the ground.

Thanksgiving is in the fall, and is the perfect time to spend time with family.

Winter is also drawing closer.

I love winter, but for now, fall will have to do.

Mayor Basil Stewart – Putting Yourself Out There

Mayor Basil Stewart

EOV Reporter – Joey Blacquiere

After Mayor Basil Stewart graduated from school he enlisted and was accepted into the Police

Academy. After working many years as a Police officer in the City of Summerside, someone suggested he would make a great mayor and he decided to throw his hat in the ring and run. He was elected and he's been there ever since.

We asked the mayor for advice on getting more involved in the community. He shared with us that as a youngster he was shy but that being a police officer and having to deal with people on a daily basis helped him a lot with that. He also strongly suggested getting to know your city and it's people by volunteering with organizations within the city and to keep on top of what's happening in your city by reading the local paper, and visiting the city web site. By presenting yourself as a friendly and positive member of your community willing to pitch in and do your part.

Driving Miss Joni

EOV's Joni Miner Gets Her Beginner's Permit!

One of my goals has been to get my Beginner's Driving Permit but I discovered in my journey that I needed some support. I need someone to assist me in organizing the pickup of the Learner's Booklet, the breaking down and reviewing of the booklet info, and scheduling my Beginner's Permit appointment. So this summer I took a class offered at PCC Inc. (motto: Prepare. Challenge. Create.) that was facilitated by Rachel Ellsworth. Rachel assisted me and as a team we broke down the booklet info. Rachel created worksheets which I completed each week, in addition to taking notes. In my opinion, Rachel was a perfect instructor because she took the time to explain what to study and worked with me on what was the best way for me to study “the how to”. On September 9^th, 2009, Rachel took me to Access PEI and at 11 A.M. I took my Beginner's Permit test. I was permitted to take the test verbally. The entire process took approximately one hour and I am proud to announce that I successfully passed the exam. I got all 21 signs correct and answered correctly 44 out of the 50 questions.

The Aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene

The Storm

A poem about Hurricane Irene by Cody Smith

The storm is raging, blowing winds and stinging rains.

The waves, high and wild, buoys thrown and tossed by the gusts and the waves.
The sun fights to shine through clouds, but it is of no use as the storm blocks the struggling rays.
The rain, beats the ground, the soil runs red, soaking those brave and foolish enough to dare the elements.

Before Irene finishes her tantrum, she will shake your house, blow over your garbage can, force you to go out and pick it up, she will knock over trees, even damage buildings and throw you around.
