Traci Kennedy and Lori Holden are known more for their community minded sunny personas, than for being divas. So Traci’s choice of the down-to-earth “Railway City” name for the girl groups she aims to inspire and coach, with Lori’s help, is appropriate. Of course the two will no doubt play up the diva component in good fun – so all in all the "Railway City Divas" name is perfect.

 What could be better for young aspiring singers, than to receive coaching and tips from two highly regarded local entertainers, and then provide opening act talent for some of their shows. It’s the chance to develop singing skills, have a good time and be on a fast track to real-life performing opportunities.

The revitalized St. Thomas Public Library on Curtis Street re-opened on Monday (January 16, 2012), after almost a year at their temporary Elgin Mall location. It was all smiles from both visitors and staff as the doors opened at 9am.

The space is bright, open and attractive. Quiet rooms upstairs just invite  you to study something, and lots of comfortable seating areas are located throughout - one has a cozy fireplace that is sure to become a favourite.

Identity Transfer opened at the St. Thomas Elgin Public this past Saturday (January 14, 2012), revealing a collage of interesting ways in which the select group of artists has chosen to portray themselves.

The works ranged from depiction of the artist’s steadfast gaze into a mirror, to works capturing distinct meaningful snapshots in time, life roles, passions or personal philosophies.
