Leonora Husveti-Frenette in the Bradford Times

From the Bradford Times:

Leonora Husveti-Frenette comes from a family of artists. 

Her mother was a noted tapestry artist; her father is Dr. Alex Husveti – not only a surgeon and general practitioner, but an internationally-acclaimed artist, and founder of the Hungarian Visual Artists of Canada association. 

But she never thought of herself in terms of the visual arts. She was involved in dance, poetry, assisted her husband in his magic illusions, designed her own home - “and then boom – the visual, it suddenly grabbed me.” 

A few years ago, Leonora Husveti-Frenette suddenly found herself drawn to collage, as a result of an emotional time her life. She discovered, “I’m able to express emotion through this medium!”, and immediately began to create collages that were unique, and transformative.

Steve Harmer in the Innisfail Province

From the Innisfail Province:

Now you see them, now you don’t. Like magic, the bullies will all go away.

It’s no hocus-pocus. It’s the Steve Harmer way. And the magician, a former Calgary Board of Education school teacher, counsellor and principal, has been having fun teaching wholesome messages to children for more than 30 years.

On March 5, Harmer, who operates under the company name of Motivational Magic, gave a 55-minute performance to students, from kindergarten through Grade 5, at St. Marguerite Bourgeoys School.
It was Day 4 of the school’s first-ever Safe and Caring Week and the magician, who has performed at more than 3,000 schools throughout Western Canada, presented The Friendship Factor.

“Friendship is the antidote to bullying. If we can teach kids to be a friend the bullies will disappear,” said Harmer. “I give the kids seven strategies to make and teach friends. The more strategies we can give them the more successful they are going to be and they are going to be happier.
