The Prince George Citizen Monday, January 17, 2005 Article written by Citizen staff BERNICE TRICK DISCARDED DOLL FINDS
Handy Home There‘s a happy ending to the story of a doll that became orphaned during the Santa Claus parade in 2005. During the parade, the Handy Circle Promotions Society(now called Handy Circle Resource Society) folks handed out numerous toys, donated by the Bibles for Missions store, to children along the route. At the end of the parade, a Handy Circle volunteer noticed that one of the dolls had been abandoned on a pole near city hall. One of her stuffed legs was missing. “We all said we could not leave the doll there, so volunteer Shirley Byman hopped out of the van and retrieved the doll,” said office manager Lorraine Young, who took the doll to her father-in-law, Ford Young, who is a wood carver. Young carved a wooden leg from a piece of pine and with his friend, Carl Zobel, built the strawberry doll a wheelchair out of plywood. Now the 20-inch doll has a permanent home at handy Circle, where it has become a mascot for people with disabilities. She looks great, and even has a happy smile on her face,” said Lorraine Young. Since the doll doesn’t have a name (the doll’s name is Destiny 2015 this is an archived article from 2005) Lorraine Young is hoping someone in the community can come up with an appropriate one. There will be a small a small prize for the person. Jan. 30 is the deadline to enter by calling 563-1852, e-mail: hcrspg@gmail.com or visit the office at No. 101 490 Quebec Street in the Kiwanis Centre. This year Handy Circle celebrates its 20th anniversary in Prince George. “It was established July 30, 1985 as a non-profit society to promote awareness of the needs and skills of those with disabilities,” said director Vivienne Candy. “Our mission is to advocate for improved quality of life for people with disabilities.” Handy Circle works with persons with disabilities, providing information and referrals, and training them in computer and office skills. Last year they received donations of computers, which has allowed them to increase training in basic office skills, computer, websites and more. They also welcome people from the community who want to learn or upgrade computer skills. A big Thank-you to Shirley Byman for typing the article from the Citizen Call 563-1852 for more information.

It is an interlibrary Loan item. I thought I’d share my thought and some quotes from the cover of the book. On the front cover there is a short statement “Simple, challenging, real-life experiences showing how much animals communicate with each other and with people who understand them.” This idea coming from someone else intrigued me because I have had amazing moment of true communications with many species and thought I was the only one. Later, I found an interesting question followed by a statement on the back cover. Is there a universal language of love, a “kinship with all life” that can open new horizons of experiences? I thought I’ve asked this question on more than one occasion Example after example in this unique classic-from “Strongheart” the actor-dog to “Freddie” the Fly-resounds with entertaining and inspiring proof that communication with animals is a wonderful, indisputable fact. All that is required is an attitude of openness, friendliness, humility, and a sense of humour to part the curtain and bonds of real friendship. I’ve loved his lovely descriptions of his rather odd assortment of teachers. Some of mine have been dogs, pigeons, a dove, slugs and harbour seals. So you can see I have a kinship of appreciating “All Life” with the author J Allen Boone. For anyone who loves animals, for all those who have ever experienced the special devotion only a pet can bring, Kinship with All Life is an unqualified delight. Sample these pages and you will never encounter “just a dog” again, but rather a fellow member of nature’s own family. “Thinking people for generations to come will benefit by this book” –Joel S.
