Dear Edtor,My ne is Iln Reier. I high shool student, nd Iveeen living in Alonte lost y entire lie. I love theHueuse I ssionte out literture, rt nd thetre.

I hve written ny short stories nd oes in the st,nd I would like to suit one o y vourite oes to the-Hu. I hoe you will onsider it or ulition in yournext edition.

Sinerely,Ilana Reimer

A Lttle SongTis is song tht hild sings,

A song she sings o suer;A song where kites sor on suer reezes,

In skies o rdint lue.A song with sunny kithens,

Rserry trts nd ie re ones,A song o rod-ried hts,And the soring wings o lrk.

Between eh note runs hilds lughter,Mingled with stistory runh o n le,

Te reds nd golds o suer sunset,

And lzy ternoonsWhere reree oys nd girls nSwing their legs ro the treetos,

And dne in the rin.

Tis is song where utteries sk on ower etls,And suer stors leveA srkling world ehind,

And ny-oloured rinows sn the sky.Tis is song hild sings,On the lst dy o shool.

To the Edtor,I would like to oent on the rtiles on ges 6 nd 32 (ro theMy 2013 issue o theHu) wherein you redit Lyle Dilloughnd Stoin o Connors with heling to sve the Mississii Ho-tel in Crleton Ple, nd Rente Seiler with eing the urtor o theorer Vitori Shool Museu, resetively.

Te Mississii Hotel ws sved y nuer o interested grous

t the tie. Ive no dout tht Lyle Dillough nd Stoin oConnors y hve written letters ut, s eer o one o theinterested grous, I do not rell ever seeing either o the show uor the ny eetings or this eort. No individul should e singledout.

Rente Seiler ws never the urtor o the Vitori Shool Mu-seu. We soke out this the other dy when she droed in oroee. Tt useu never hs hd urtor nd still does not. Pro-erly trined nd redited urtors or sll town useus re srre s hens teeth.

Te oint o this gentle rnt is tht, when we ll were involved insuh tivities k in the 1980s, we hd ilies nd jos, nd ul-turl tivities suh s trying to sve uildings nd strting useuswere diult uhill ttles. In Crleton Ple, i it ws not reltedto hokey then you hose the th through the jungle. ody, whenwe red inorret or ised inortion, it hurts nd the ile rises.Plese, when rediting eole with doing things wy k when,

soe reserh should e onduted to kee the reord stright.Sinerely,Nic Maennling, Founder, Victoria School Museum (1980) (now theCarleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum); Founder, LanarkCounty Museums Network (1991); one o many (along with Renate!)who helped save the Mississippi Hotel.

At the end o Bill Veles drivewy t190 McLren Drive, only six inutes south oPerth of Rideu Ferry Rod, you encounter sign tht roclis Birchwood Studio nd

Te wlls o his gllery re relete with eu-tiul wterolour intings elerting the Cn-din senes tht hve insired nd sustined hithroughout his lie. Looking out the windows youn see Jes Creek srkling in the sunlight. Yourelize tht Vele hs sueeded in surroundingnd sustining hisel oth indoors nd outdoorswith the glorious nturl settings rurl Cndinsso oten tke or grnted, nd urn Cndins restrting to orget.

For soe, retireent loos s role wht do I do next? For Bill Vele it resented thelong-wited oortunity to ursue his endur-ing interest in eoing n rtist. Troughout hislong reer s teher nd ily rovider heoten reinised out the lesure he hd elts youth, leisurely skething the lndse whilestrolling long the Cusewy or hiking in the oun-tryside ner his hoetown o Kingston.

Bk then he tured the view in hrolnd enil skethes, honing the skills tht wouldeventully led to his reer s teher o i-net king nd rhiteturl drting. Antiit-ing retireent k in 1982, Vele nlly deidedto ut his rtisti yernings to the test. Te teheree the student, ursuing lsses in wterol-

One o the questions I enjoy osing to rtists iswhether they reeer their rst rt sle. Bills re-sonse ws tyil he reeers the roxi-te dte, the sujet, the n who ought it, ndwhy.

He exlins tht he requently works ro his own ho-togrhs, reully oosing his nvses through his viewnder.o quote the ous ioneering Aerin lndse hotogrhernd environentlist, Ansel Ads, You dont tke hotogrh,

you ke it. Vele rries it nother ste, lying his own rtistisensiilities to reully hosen sujet.

He surrises e when he sys he dvotes the KISS rinile,dened y Wikiedi s ollows: Te KISS rinile sttes tht ostsystes work est i they re ket sile rther thn de o-lex; thereore siliity should e key gol in design nd unnees-sry olexity should e voided.
