This includes the latest, chicest addition to any drink menu - the cocktail popsicle. Elevate the traditional piña colada by blending fresh pineapple, coconut cream and limes and serving it in an unexpected way.

Bold ginger beer and dark rum round out the delicious flavours in this grown-up piña colada.

Dear The Wine Ladies,
ASK
We are finally finished with our kitchen renovations and are ready to purchase some wine glasses for entertaining. The choices of stemware out there are overwhelming. Unfortunately, due to the underestimated costs of the reno (vastly underestimated), the budget for our stemware is somewhat limited. Can you help? - Linda
THE WINE LADIES Q&A Dear Linda,
True enough, selecting the right glass, or best glass for you and your purposes can be a daunting experience, given the many options but it doesn’t have to be. Although there are specific glasses designed for an array of grape varietals, regions and occasions, there are a few basic wine glasses, reasonably priced, that will satisfy most of your needs. The very well known company Riedel, actually 11th generation, whose product is readily found, manufactures some of the finer and finest glasses for both enjoyment and technical purposes. They have in their range, from the uncomplicated beginner series called Overture to the Sommelier Maxi series for the more experienced palate that come in at a range of pricing. To start, a few basic considerations and you can’t go wrong...
THIN IS IN… or ideal for wine enjoyment that is. Opt for glassware that has a fine rim, too thick or patterned takes away from the intimacy of the wine with the wine drinker and the appearance, patterned or coloured stemware limits the view and the potential clarity and brilliance.
BIGGER IS BETTER… to a point.
To the choice selection, begin by deciding on how specific you would like your collection of stemware to be. Given a certain budget, perhaps one great glass for the whites and one for the reds might be a good starting point. It’s always better to start off with a great basic rather than a variety of lesser quality stemware aimed to cover the gamut of varietals, styles, regions etc as discussed above.
Select a glass that has a fairly generous bowl, ample enough to swirl the wine without losing any of the precious contents, ample enough to swirl and enhance the enjoyment of the bouquet, much more available when swirled. And while on the topic, not spilling, fill the glass only about a third full to allow the best of swirling!
We’d recommend you head out to one of the specialty stores and chat up one of the salespeople. They’re often extremely knowledgeable and more than willing to share their expertise and ready to assess your needs according to your budget.

I am a brown tabby with beautiful green eyes, am between 5 and 7 years old, and was surrendered to the shelter by my previous owners. I must go to a home without other cats so that I can be at my best. As you can tell from my size I have a lot of love to give! I love people and will chat with you when you visit with me. I LOVE being petted and giving you kisses!

School Life GRIMSBY
SECONDARY SCHOOL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND! The Grimsby community supports GSS students in many ways, particularly by providing opportunities for our students to do volunteer work, sometimes to use toward their community service hour requirement for graduation and often just because giving to the community is something embedded in the culture of GSS. Our students love to help others. One of the requirements for graduation is to complete 40 hours of community service during their time in high school. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions.
WHEN CAN A STUDENT START EARNING COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS? They can begin during the summer following grade 8.
WHAT ACTIVITIES QUALIFY TOWARD COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS? An activity or event which is a benefit to the community is eligible. The activity must be performed outside the regular school day (lunch hours, weekends, after school, or school holidays). It may take place in a variety of settings: not-for-profit organizations, public sector institutions, and informal settings. It may be a structured program to promote tutoring, mentoring, visiting, and coaching whose purpose is to assist others. It could be an activity that supports work of a global nature or promotes environmental awareness or an activity with a club, religious organization, arts or cultural association, or political organization that seeks to make a positive contribution in the community. In fact, an activity that promotes and contributes to the health and well-being of any group, including some school based activities which extend their service to a wider community are eligible for students to use toward their community service hours.
WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE INELIGIBLE? The Ministry of Education and Training has developed a list of activities that may not be chosen as community involvement activities and that are therefore ineligible activities. An ineligible activity is an activity that is a requirement of a class or course in which the student is enrolled (e.g., Cooperative Education portion of a course, job shadowing, work experience) or one that takes place during the time allotted for the instructional program on a school day. However, an activity that takes place during the student’s lunch break is permissible. Other ineligible activities are those that take place in a construction, manufacturing, logging or mining environment, if the student is under sixteen years of age or in a factory if the student is under fifteen years of age. The Career Opportunity Information Network tells us about the value of volunteering. Employment counselors know how challenging it can be to get a job. However, they also know the value of volunteering and getting involved in order to gain valuable experience. Take a look at why these extra activities can really pay off in the long run… Entering the job market can be overwhelming, especially if you have little or no experience. How are you supposed to gain experience if an employer won’t hire you without it? This statement is true only when it comes to paying jobs and paid experience. Think outside the job search box and pursue challenging and rewarding non-paid experiences.

Recently, an employer survey was conducted by Job Gym to find out what criteria are important to employers when they hire new employees. The top three criteria were personality and attitude, basic qualifications and skills and previous experience. Qualifications, skills and experience can derive from a number of sources, including volunteer, extracurricular involvement at school and community involvement. These sources are a great way to see where your strengths are and to discover what you enjoy doing. Transferable skills are gained through involvement, whether it is big or small. We look forward to another great year of learning. Registration continues August 30th to September 1st. School begins September 6th at 9:00 am.
SOUTH LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL
Summer is a wonderful time to recharge our batteries, read a good book and reconnect with friends and family (or make new connections!). It is also a great time to take stock of where we are in this world and make plans to change for the better. As we enter into the fall and a new school year, I ask you to consider goal-setting. Write down your goals and imagine what it will take to achieve them. Buy yourself a good time manager agenda book (or app) and take note of what you have to do to reach your goal. Registration is on Wednesday, August 31 and Thursday, September 1. Many families have already registered online via School Cash Line (you can register for this on our website at southlincoln.dsbn.org) and many students will have already received their timetables in the mail this summer. In-school registration is for students new to the area, for grade 12 students who wish to make a timetable change, or for students who have yet to register electronically. The office will be open 9:00 am -11:30 am and 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm on both the 31st and the 1st. While you are thinking about setting your goals, you might want to consider joining a sports team. Most of our fall sports commence immediately in September. You can consider trying out for boys’ football and volleyball, girls’ field hockey and basketball and co-ed cross-country. There is still room for you to get involved in student council as a grade rep. Student council will be busy and could use student support right at the beginning of the year because they will be planning for the Grade 9 fun afternoon on September 9. The day starts with a Sign on to Graduate ceremony where grade 9 students envision themselves walking across the stage four years from now, with the help of grad gowns and certificates. This is followed by a barbecue and an afternoon of fun where grade 9 students from our three feeder schools (and students new to the area) can get to know each other. Another important part of this day is the Junior Mentorship Program (JuMP) where each grade 9 student will be paired with a senior student. Over the course of the year the senior mentors will help grade 9 students understand the intricacies of such things as meeting deadlines, handling stress and reading exam schedules. We are having our Terry Fox assembly on September 15th, so start collecting your toonies now. September 16th is an Early Release Day and school will end at 11:20 am so that teachers can plan for our school-wide literacy initiative. Speaking of literacy, we are building classroom libraries and would greatly appreciate the donation of books that will encourage
high school students to read for enjoyment. You may drop off your donated books in the main office. Smile! This is early notice, but you might as well start practicing your school smile now: Picture Day is September 20. But enough talk of dates for school. Go out and enjoy the rest of your summer. But while you’re catching a few rays please consider the goals you want to set for yourself this school year. Be sure to check out my twitter @SouthLincolnHS

BEAMSVILLE DISTRICT SECONDARY SCHOOL
Once again, the students of Beamsville District Secondary School outdid themselves through the 2015-16 school year. All-time highs in achievement, and incredibly engaging co-curricular activities both in the school, and in the community, showed the Bucs spirit is as strong as ever. Thank you to the students, staff, parents, and community members who have made this possible. Your hard work and dedication was especially evident as we celebrated the graduation of the class of 2016 in June. As we head into another exciting school year - 2016/2017 - it is important to note that some adjustments have been made to our Bell Times to accommodate some improved bus routes, and August registration is available for any families who were not able to make it in during our Spring Registration hours. Please contact the school with any questions.
NEW BDSS BELL TIMES - 2016/2017 PERIOD 1
9:15 am - 10:35 am (Including Announcements)
PERIOD 2 10:45 am - 12:00 pm LUNCH
12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
PERIOD 3 12:45 pm - 2:00 pm PERIOD 4
2:10 pm - 3:25 pm
Note that these bell times will help minimize the time students are on the bus in the morning and the afternoon. Please note that the first day of class is Tuesday, September 6, 2016. This is a regular school day beginning at 9:15 am. We will be hosting a welcome breakfast for all Grade 9 students which will take place in the cafeteria from 8:45 am - 9:00 am.
REGISTRATION FOR THE 2016-2017 SCHOOL YEAR Pre-Registered Students: Students who preregistered in June have received their timetables in the mail. Pre-registered students do not need to come into the school during registration week unless there is a conflict on their timetable. Students in Grade 9, 10 and 11 who do not have 8 classes on their timetable will need to come into the guidance office during registration week.
NOT PRE-REGISTERED?: Students who have not pre-registered in the spring will need to do this before arriving on the first day of school. Please see the schedule below for your assigned registration dates and time. Parents and Students must be present at the time of registration as forms need to be signed by both. GRADE 10, 11 & 12 Tuesday, August 30th from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm GRADE 9 ONLY (BBQ & Tour Included) Wednesday, August 31st from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm GRADE 10, 11 & 12 Thursday, September 1st from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
CAMP BUCCANEER Beamsville District Secondary School is pleased to invite our grade 9 students to participate in Camp Buccaneer 2016. Camp Buccaneer will take place from September 28th - 30th, 2016 at Cave Springs Camp in Vineland, Ontario. The purpose of the camp is to build teamwork, leadership potential, and a sense of community amongst Beamsville students. All grade 9 students are being encouraged to attend the camp and take advantage of a great opportunity to immediately connect with others in their grade, as well as meet many senior students that are BDSS leaders within the school. Located in a beautiful outdoor setting, Beamsville students will take part in activities such as high ropes, archery, hikes, crafts, campfire and many other team building exercises designed to challenge, develop and empower students. For more information and registration forms please contact the main office. See you at Camp! Sadly we are losing our VP, Mrs. Sargeant, who has been appointed Principal at Eastdale Secondary School. All the best to her as she takes on this new challenge, and we are all confident she will be extremely successful. We are excited to welcome Mrs. Lakeit (pronounced La - Kite) to BDSS as she joins us as VP in September. I hope that everyone had an amazingly happy and safe summer with your family and friends - we at BDSS truly look forward to the upcoming year of learning.
