The Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-07-13, Page 8Page 8 - Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, July 13, 1994 C ar adian Pathfinders assemble in Ashfield for special event by Pat Livingston The skies over Camp Keewaydin, located on the shores of Lake Huron in Ashfield Township, provided spectacular light displays op consecutive nights last week; for 110 Pathfinders and 40 leaders from across Canada. The stormy evening weather was no deterrent to these seasoned campers who were par- ticipating in an. interprovincial event "Kaleidoscope 1994". "Many of the out -of -province girls can't believe the storms we've had this week. They question whether it's like this all the time," said Renee Gingras, of Kincardine, the Girl Guide camp summer direc- tor. The special camp, hosted by Mapleway Area (Tobermory to Kitchener -Waterloo) has been in the planning for two years. Pathfinders interested in participating were required to submit a four page application, along with references. Five girls were chosen from each province, with Mapleway getting to match that number one for one. Amy Blake, of Lucknow, was one of those chosen to attend the camp. Renee says the concept of. Kaleidoscope was to "bring together, girls from across Canada into one cohesive unit. Friendships are formed; there is no deeper purpose than to learn, grow and share." In addition to the week at Camp Keewaydin, the Pathfinders have one week of homestay hosted by Mapleway Area families. Two Wingham Pathfinders, Becky and Kelly Gillespie, along with their mother, Lisa, who is the Beaver Division Camp Advisor, hosted Amanda Hjelmeland, Manitoba and Jennifer Allison, Thunder Bay, along with leader Marj Sarna of Manitoba. During the two week adventure, the Pathfinders will travel to .the Farmers' Market, Kitchener, take in a play at Stratford and enjby a fun filled day at Canada's Wonderland. There are four anchors. in the journey of life Marjorie MacLean was hostess for the June meeting of the Ashfield Women's Missionary Society. Mayme Wilkins opened the meeting with a reading "Each Day Brings a Chance to do Better." Dorothy Finlayson led in the Devotions, with Beryl MacDonald as pianist. Mrs. Finlayson discussed how, in the journey of life, there are four anchors: Hope, God's, Word, Prayer and the Cross of Christ. Rollcall. was answered with a favorite flower and how to care for it. Mrs. Wilkins gave the study on the United States and the Carib- bean. The conclusion was that every time the U.S. intervened in , a country it was because' there were U.S. interests and investments they wanted to protect in that country - not for the good of the country itself, or its people. Helen MacLennan was in charge of the business section. The bazaar is set for July 16, 1 to 3 p.m. Reports were read and discussed. The next meeting is in September. New friendships were formed during "Kaleidoscope 1994" a two-week camping/homestay adventure for Canadian Pathfinders. The Gillespie family of Wingham hosted two Pathfinders and leader during the homestay week, Back row, from the left: Marj Sarna, Manitoba; Becky Gillespie; Front row, Amanda Hjelmeland, Manitoba; Kelly Gillespie; Jennifer Allison, Thunder Bay and Lisa Gillespie, the host mom, who is also the Beaver Division camp advisor.
