Labels Anyone?
Michael Jack has a labelling machine – free to a good home! The machine is called the Merlin is made by Gestetener and new, was worth about $4,000. If you think of one of those little Dymno labelers, this is the same high tech version, like an electric typewriter which has different fonts and spits out peel and stick labels you can put on everything in sight. Librarians loved it. This machine looks in size and weighs much like the old electric typewriters of the 70s and 80s. There are around 20 discs that go with the machine with a variety of fonts. Michael has the supplies that go with it – “a great amount”, he says, “ and you would probably not have to buy anything for at least five years – and it’s free!”.
If inerested, please contact Michaeal Jack at 905-668-2990 or michael.jack@ rogers.com

Students at Dunbarton High School work with Dorsey James, Sculptor, and Amy Cashmir, teacher, to carve out family values. Students were asked to identify those family values which they consider important. The students then created visual symbols representative of each value which students are currently in the process of power carving into cedar planks. The power tools used in the project are provided by Bosch Canada and Dremel USA.
