So I've noticed that Volunteer Fair is coming to Milton.I'd guess there are no opportunities there for creative story and drawings projects there. I've also noticed that the Equity Office over at Canada Council for the Arts has a new program for the deaf and disabled called "Cultivate" As I understand it,first get applications to get organizations up and running,then ask for applications for creative story and drawing projects. So back in December 2013 a certain visually impaired woman on Milton's Accessibility Committee asked me to do some work on a documentary film she hoped to make dealing with disabilities. Since I kmow blindness,deafness,amputations,bed sores etc is a real downer to deal with, I theorized a world where the Powers-That-Be have declared "no bad things will happen to humans and no humans will do bad things" The underworld of that wondrous paradise was populated with unicorns,dragons and thunderbirds.Basically the dragons as shown by the drawing below of Philadelphia Relique spend their time trying to thwart the Powers-That-Be with Ruth Goldbergian gizmos,the factory worker thunderbirds make the gizmos and the angel-unicorns lecture first,use their hooves second,to enforce the will of the Powers-That-Be Basically light-medium-grim humour plotlines dealing with disability and crime and bullying/Child Finders issues from the other side of the coin So does Milton have the volunteers and resources that would be needed to thrash out tolerable tasteful plots,drawings,etc?

So does anybody in Milton.Halton know if there are any internet radio streaming sites with any time slots available ?( ideally free) ( something like radiozilverstream.nl de Wingvanger is a family relation) If I had to dream up a coverstory for the internet shows host it might go like this " Philadelphia Grendel was born on October 17 1767 of a loving mother named Dorothea and a scoundrel named Robert.A minor player in the political scene she spends her time freezing up text-tospeech such as JAWS and speech-to-text engines such as Dragon Naturally Speaking. One dark and stormy night she marched into the long abandoned radio transmitter at Able Mills,waved her magic amulet and the transmitter was back on the air." Likely she'd be a text-to-speech engine ( Melanie?) and deal with music produce produced by disabled folk ,disability news,real life guests and slice and dice people with hard hitting questions delivered in that positive cheerful voice text-to-speech engines have. The producers however would have quite a challenge rounding up her victims(guests) for her show

Unicorns can beat Dragons in a fight? It makes for a more interesting plot.In a abandoned segment of the story Alfeena the Unicorn disguises herself as a 'thunder chic"
