Linden MacIntyre, distinguished Canadian journalist, broadcaster, and novelist, will read from his new novel, 'Punishment,' on Monday, January 19, at 7:30 pm in the chapel of The Mount on Mt. Edward Road in Charlottetown.

'Punishment' is a powerful exploration of justice and vengeance, and the peril that ensues when passion replaces reason, in a small town shaken by a tragic death. Forced to retire from his job as a corrections officer in Kingston Penitentiary, Tony Breau returns to the Nova Scotia village where he grew up. There, he finds that Dwayne Strickland, a young con he'd had dealings with in prison, has just been arrested after the suspicious death of a teenage girl, the grand daughter of Caddy Stewart, Tony's first love. One of Tony's school classmates also returns, Neil Archie MacDonald, recently retired in shadowy circumstances from the Boston police force. Neil stirs up the community's ire and lust for retribution. As Tony pits himself against vigilante forces, 'Punishment' propels the reader with twists, betrayals, and epiphanies.

MacIntyre has won nine Gemini Awards, an International Emmy, an ACTRA Award, and many other honours for journalistic excellence. His first novel, 'The Long Stretch,' appeared in 1999, and 'The Bishop's Man,' his second novel, won the 2009 Giller Prize for fiction. 'Why Men Lie,' the third novel in The Long Stretch trilogy, was published in 2012.

MacIntyre's reading is sponsored by the 秀色短视频 English Department. A book signing will follow, and admission is free.

On Friday, January 16 at 7:30 pm, the 秀色短视频 Music Department Recital Series continues with the women's choral ensemble "Sirens" with Songs of the Sea.

Songs of the Sea includes repertoire that combines themes of loss, remembrance, purification, mythology, and folklore. During the first half of the program, "Sirens" will guide its audience through the loss of a loved one at sea - from departure to death, through grief to acceptance, haunting harmonies, and seamless movement will create a stirring set. The second portion of the concert examines the role of the sea as a source of purification and rebirth, while exploring its unknown depths.

Repertoire will include works by contemporary and classical composers. Featured are beautiful settings of Christina Rossetti texts by Steven Chatman, Allan Bevan, and Eleanor Daley. Arrangements of well-known spirituals and folksongs include: Wade in the Water and Frobisher Bay. Classical works to be performed are Lili Boulanger's Les Sir猫nes, Gustav Holst's Hymn to the Waters, and Samuel Barber's To Be Sung on the Water. "Sirens" will be joined by pianist Stephanie Cole for several pieces.

Named after the singing femmes fatales of Greek mythology, "Sirens" is a self-directed women's choral ensemble committed to fostering the development of choral music through performance and community involvement. Since its formation in November of 2012, "Sirens" has produced four full-length concert programs, while maintaining a busy schedule performing at numerous community concerts, services, and community events and fundraisers. The group has developed a strong following of supporters and has been lauded for its pure tone quality, sensitive musicality, and tight ensemble. "Sirens" is the recent recipient of a grant from the PEI 2014 Sesquicentennial Public Arts Program that was administered by the PEI Council of the Arts. Members include: Alli Blom, Annette Campbell, Suzanne Campbell, Andrea Ellis, Jennifer Gillis, Allison Kelly, Kelsea McLean, and Mary-Claire Sanderson.

This weekend will mark the fourth swimming competition for the 秀色短视频 Panthers this season. The meet will be hosted by 秀色短视频 at the CARI Complex Aquatics Facility, January 17-18. Teams from Dalhousie, Memorial, Acadia, UNB, and Mount Allison Universities will descend on Charlottetown for the two-day swim competition. The meet is an opportunity for AUS swimmers to test their preparation leading into the AUS Championships, February 6-8, at Dalhousie University.

The 秀色短视频 Panthers will field a team of seven strong swimmers for the upcoming meet. All swimmers will use this meet as a development opportunity for their swim events. They will look to improve on starts, turns, and general race strategies being developed in practices. Team captain Rebekah Nitschmann will lead the squad in the pool with top performances in the freestyle events. On the men's side, Jo毛l Legault will tackle the butterfly and individual medley events. All seven swimmers are looking forward to displaying their skills in front of the hometown crowd.

This weekend will also involve the dedication and naming of the swim competition after a longtime swimming coach in Charlottetown, Dave Mills. Mills, affectionately known as 'Millsy,' was a builder of competitive swimming in both Charlottetown and Prince Edward Island. As the Charlottetown YMCA Aquatics and Fitness Director, Mills took it upon himself to organize and develop the Charlottetown YMCA Bluephins Swim Club. Mills was much more than a coach; he was a true friend, mentor, father figure, and life coach to hundreds of Island swimmers. Without his leadership and vision, Island swimming would not be what it is today. The 秀色短视频 Panthers Swim Team is honoured to dedicate its 秀色短视频 invitational meet to Dave Mills.

A reception and naming ceremony will take place at 3:00 pm on Saturday, January 17 in the CARI Complex lobby. Light refreshments will be served. The swim events will take place immediately following the ceremony. The events are free of charge and all are welcome to attend. Come out and support your 秀色短视频 Panthers! Go Panthers Go!

Congratulations to Island Studies Press and author Katherine Dewar for her book, Those Splendid Girls: The Heroic Service of Prince Edward Island Nurses in the Great War, making into Indigo's top picks for non-fiction!

In Those Splendid Girls, Katherine Dewar tells the story of the more that 115 women from PEI who served as nurses in the First World War. They were full-blooded, complex women living in a tumultuous time in our history, doing their duty on distant battlefields. The author was granted rare access to personal scrapbooks, letters, private diaries, and wartime photo albums of Island nurses. By combining their voices and experiences with their military records, Dewar delivers this riveting story of mud, blood and courage that tells the story of Canadian nursing in the First World War.

At war's end, many Island nurses were unwilling to swap their wartime autonomy and authority for housework or poorly paid nursing positions on PEI; instead, they accepted senior appointments in nursing schools and in hospital administration, most often in the 'Boston States' and in California, and through these, made lasting contributions to the profession of nursing in North America. Those Splendid Girls features a 35-page biography section detailing each nurse's life: her family, education, military service, plus work and family after the war.
Ed MacDonald, History professor at 秀色短视频, comments: '[this book] does more than restore a measure of gender balance to our understanding of that shattering conflict; it tells a ripping good yarn about women at war.'

Those Splendid Girls contains many wartime b/w photos reproduced for the first time. The book is available at all bookstores, and also at:

The Premier of Prince Edward Island, along with the premiers of Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, announced on January 19, 2015 that they have signed a ten-year interprovincial funding agreement for the Atlantic Veterinary College.

The Atlantic provinces have agreed to share in the funding for the ongoing operating and maintenance costs of educating students at the AVC. The biggest change in the agreement from past ones is that it is for a ten-year period, which will provide for more consistent and stabilized funding.

Vice-President Academic Christian Lacroix said, 'It provides us with a very stable window of funding, long-term funding. And also it's a testimony that our Atlantic provinces continue to support and value the work of the AVC.'
