Oct Knit for Kids Knitters across the country have donated more than 79,000 handâ€" made items to needy Canadian chilâ€" dren over the past seven years. What began as a community project started by one Ottawa woman has grown into an annual countrywide campaign and Lewiscraft, her employer, has joined forces with the Salvation Army to distribute hats, scarves and mittens knit by volunâ€" teers every Christmas. Lillian Shoihet of Ottawa, a partâ€" time craft consultant for Lewiscraft , started the project in 1986 when she knit and donated some mittens. Today, staff and customers at all 77 Lewiscraft stores across Canada, including Oakville Place, donate time and talent to the annual Salvation Armyâ€"Lewiscraft Knit for Kids program. Participants purchase yarn from a Lewiscraft store, knit the articles with patterns provided, and return them to the store with their sales receipt for a refund. Many stores collect between 200 and 300 knitted items each year. Lewiscraft has refunded more than $64,000 since the project began in 1987. "Last year alone customers and staff provided 19,659 assorted mitts, hats, scarves, sweaters, and more, all lovingly handknit for Canadian kids," reports Lewiscraft spokesperâ€" son Shirley Sano. "Many people see this as a perfect opportunity to use up their own odd ends of yarn." _The campaign runs to early December. * Weddings Lisa Johanna, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Miller of Oakvilie, married Anthony Dean, son of Mrs. Fay Booth of Oakville, at St. Hilda‘s Anglican Church on Sept. 25th.

The conference also includes a panel of community agency repreâ€" sentatives who have participated in all three conferences who report to the participants on the workâ€"of their organizations over the past year in the area of violence prevention. The conference fee is $40 for participants, however there is a subâ€" sidized rate available for those who require it.

With the help of the afternoon reaction panel members, including activist Joan DeNew of Hamilton who helped produce a video on television violence for the United Church of Canada; Gail Morrell, viceâ€"president of Corporate Communications for the CTV Network; and a representative from the Alliance for Children and Television participants should leave the conference with a toolbox of ideas. "Television must be censored!" says the keynote speaker for the third annual day long Reaching for Change Conference next Saturday. Sandra Campbell, educator, director of VIVA Associates â€"â€" consultants providing research and educational services addressing issues arising from violence in children‘s lives, is adamant about censoring what is shown and viewed on this powerful medium. Campbell‘s message will be discussed at the workshop sessions which form part of the conference, organized by the Halton Rape Crisis Centre, to be held at the Howard Johnson Hotel on Argus Road on Friday, Nov. 5th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. "The good news is that there are still spaces left for participants in this conference," says conference coâ€"ordinator, Jenny Amy. "We have always opened our conferences to the public as well as police officers, social workers, teachers, public health workers and library staff, but the message this year is particularly appropriate for parents." The conference, subtitled "Controlling Exposure to Media Violence," is designed in hopes that concrete workable suggestions will be developed to help especially those working with children to counter the influence of violence on television. .
