| Adele and "Cabot Trail" |
|
| A little about Adele, the artist. She was born in Glace Bay, C.B. in 1977. Graduated from High School in 1997. Besides painting Adele has many other interest and hobbies and is always willing to try something new. Swimming and bowling are her favorite sports; she swims on the team of the Special Olympics, bowls in 2 bowling leagues, plus she is active in Aerobics. Adele has many other interests like tole painting, country music, piano, step & modern dance and reading. She has also taken lessons in sign language and completed a First Aid & CPR course. Adele is active in her local Down Syndrome Society, loves her church, where she also has Bible study weekly. In March 2002 Adele appeared in a CBC documentary "Measuring Up". Over the last 4 years Adele has taken courses at UCCB. To name a few: Communications, Interpersonal relations, Public speaking, Celtic studies and Drama. In Fall 2004 Adele was the subject of an ATV special. It was in this special that she expressed her lifelong dream: "to be a star on stage". Her wish was made to come true thanks to a local singing and performing group "The Accents", who invited her to be part of their Christmas show at Glace Bay's Savoy Theatre. For Adele this was "the icing on the cake". She got a standing ovation from the audience and surely was "THE STAR" that night.
