Gambling Rap

Gambling is an addiction

Its true, this ai t fi tio Always felt like the great bambino

When I walked up in the casino

No I lo i g all o e I have no more to spend on my honey

Lost all my money on the slots

The whole time thinking this was my spot

Just dropped a couple grand down the drain

No I starti g to feel the pai

I lost my kids, my wife, and my house

Yall do t e e k o hat this is a out Though my dreams were always the next pull away

No all of a sudde I all alo e with nothing left to say

What you know about losing your life

A stab in the chest like the sharp edge of a knife

Roulette ta les spi i o e ar ed a dits rolli di e No I realize this ai t o a to li e life

I wish I would have known to set limits

But I ould t see past all the flash gi i ks Should of kept it to what I could actually spend

Not always asking friends and family for what they would lend

No I hopi g to i ut e pe ti g to loose Should of known the casino would have me singing the blues

If I can give you one piece of advice

Volunteer Challenge.

ChangeTheWorld is a 4-week long campaign that provides an opportunity for youth to get involved in their community. It is meant to plant the seed of volunteerism in young individuals who are interested in social change.

The campaign is supported through the Ontario Governments Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration (MCI), Volunteer SSM, the Youth Empowerment Council (YEC), and United Way of Sault Ste. Marie and district.

One of the most successful local volunteer activities is the Community Car Wash for Charity. The students are encouraged to host the most successful car wash by raising money to support a charity of their choice. The money that is raised from the car wash is then donated to a charity, by decision of the students.

This years participating high schools include:

Korah Collegiate and Vocational School Charity: Paulines Place Date: Saturday, May 11th, from 10am-4pm Location: Korah Collegiate Parking Lot

Superior Heights Collegiate and Vocational School Charity: ARCH Date: Sunday, May 19th, from 10am-4pm Location: Superior Heights Parking Lot

Building picnic tables for a good cause

Monday, May 19, 2014 by: Kenneth Armstrong

White Pines grade 9 student Elizabeth Gagne volunteered to build picnic tables because she prefers volunteer work that is hands-on. It gets you involved in your community and helping, gets you outside and its for a good cause, said Gagne. Tables by Teens was one event organized by United Way Sault Ste. Marie and District project coordinator Kaitlyn Irwin and involved about a dozen local high school students building picnic tables in the Home Depot parking lot on Saturday. We try to create volunteer initiatives for students to participate in and this is one of them, said Irwin. Irwin is organizing local events for ChangeTheWorld: Ontario Youth Volunteer Challenge, which runs between April 6 and May 19 across Ontario. The events are intended for students age 14-18 and are being organized through volunteer Sault Ste. Marie.

The students can apply the hours volunteered toward the 40 hours required to graduate high school in Ontario. The picnic table kits were donated by Home

Depot and sold for one-hundred dollars each, the money from which will go toward whatever project or charity the children decide. Giving back to the community is one of Home Depots core values, says store Manager Susie Furchacher. The teens get to learn some life skills by actually assembling the tables, said Furbacher. For some of these kids they have never had an opportunity to do this kind of work, and this is a great opportunity for them to give back and help each other. It gives them a sense of pride in their work, said Furbacher. Any tables that were left over from the event were to be donated to local charities, said Irwin. Irwin is hoping to make Tables by Teens an annual event, possibly adding Muskoka chairs in the future.

WHAT IS SOUP STE.

MARIE?

Soup Ste. Marie is a public dinner

designed to use community-driven

financial support to democratically

fund projects led by individuals,

businesses and groups of

community members. It is a

recurring micro-grant model based

on the international Sunday Soup

program which funds creative

projects through community meals.

The idea is simple:

Each Soup Ste. Marie event will have a different focus, but one

that will encourage imaginative

projects that benefit the

community. $10 entrance fee

gets you a bowl of soup and a

vote on a project.

Community Partisoupants showcase their projects

through a 5-minute

presentation a 5-minute Q&A.

Attendees get to listen to presentations, engage with

Partisoupants and cast their

vote to grant the proceeds to

the most inspiring project.

No one but the winning presenter makes money from

these events. However, this is a

unique opportunity for

partisoupating projects to

showcase their work and

network with attendees.

Soup Ste. Marie is more than just a

funding mechanism, it is a platform

from which we can generate ideas

and discussion about what is happening in our community.

It gives Partisoupants an

opportunity to network with

potential collaborators and to raise awareness about the needs and

resources that help make
