LOCAL
A youth-led organization is hoping
to motivate young locals to creative-
lyexpressthemselvesthroughart.
The work of visual artists, writ-
ers and photographers will be fea-
tured in “Hamilton Youth Antholo-
gy,”abookproducedbyanon-prof-
itgroupcalledInkMovement.
“It’s an exciting time for arts in
Hamilton,” said Maxwell Tran, 19,
the founder and executive director
of Ink Movement, which highlights
the work of young artists. “There’s
an emerging art scene in the city,
and a lot of organizations are doing
greatwork.”
Tran hopes to achieve Ink Move-
ment’s mission through initiatives
such as book publishing, work-
shopsandconferences.
Tran predicts the anthology will
be published by mid-April. A total
of 142 works were submitted and
Ink Movement’s editorial board has
been reviewing them. They are
aimingfor64pagesand30features.
Tran said he looked to the Hamil-
ton Arts Council for helping con-
necting with local artists. Council
executive director Stephanie Vegh
said part of the group’s mandate is
to help young artists, and she was
impressedwithTran’strackrecord.
“More than ever we’re seeing
young artists taking responsibility,
not only by making art, but with
how it’s distributed in the commu-
nity,”saidVegh.“It’sthekindofen-
ergyanycommunityneeds.”
Ink Movement also partnered
with other local organizations. The
Hamilton-Wentworth District
School Board and the Hamilton
Public library are helping spread
the word about the anthology. The
literary press Wolsak and Wynn
will publish it, and the Social Inno-
vation Lab at McMaster University
hasprovidedmeetingspace.
“When I was in high school I was
anavidwriter,”saidTran,asecond-
year health sciences student at Mc-
Master University. “I looked
aroundandIsawbusinessstudents
had DECA (a youth business orga-
nization) and science students had
fairs, but for students interested in
art, there weren’t many avenues to
pursue their passion. Ink Move-
mentwasbornbecauseoftheneedI
thoughtwasthere.”
Tran’s also been growing his vi-
sion. He started Ink Movement in
Mississauga in May 2012 and creat-
ed divisions in Hamilton and Mon-
treal in August 2014. He plans to
branch out to Saskatoon this sum-
merandVancouvernextyear.
Tran believes art is a tool for so-
cial change, so the non-profit will
partner with several local charities
during the Mississauga Art and
SoulinitiativeinMay.Tranhopesto

A store employee and two Good Samaritans helped
grabarobberysuspectinStoneyCreek.
A man walked into the Qstop Convenience at 140
King St. E. at around 4 p.m. Tuesday, police said. He
walked up to the counter, demanding cash from the
store employee and indicating he had a weapon. He
then walked behind the counter and grabbed money
fromthecashregister.
The employee ran out the front entrance and yelled
that the store was being robbed. That’s when “two citi-
zens observed the incident taking place and immedi-
ately came to the assistance of the employee who was
attempting to maintain control of the suspect,” police
saidinarelease.
The trio managed to hold the man until officers
arrived.
David Gillan, 46, of Hamilton is facing a robbery
charge, along with five counts of failing to comply with
probationandfourcountsofbreakandenter.
Police said the latter charges are related to commer-
cial entries downtown and in the east end.
