People
Bill and Sandra Clark have
recently returned from a six week
visit in England during which they
toured, by motorcycle, from
Guernsey (Channel Islands) to
Carlisle which is near the Scottish
border resulting in a total distance
of about 2,000 miles each. They
visited family members, many
friends made through membership
in the International Motorcyclists
Touring Club, researched some
family history and participated in a
couple of club events.
One of the memorable events of
the tour was the crossing to
Guernsey on the high speed
catamaran, ScaCat, which carries
vehicles and about 500 people. The
crossing was on the day the French
ferry captain took the short cut into
Jersey and ran his ferry, a smaller
catamaran, firmly aground on a
rock. The SeaCat went to help as
the large slower ferry was too
large to get close enough.
They finally departed Weymouth
at 6 p.m. and soon encountered gale
force winds and high seas. While
Bill snoozed in the cabin, Sandra
backed herself into a corner of the
railing and was clinging firmly to it
outside in the wind and spray, as
the tossing catamaran (they're built
10%
off
Parts &
Labour
to flex), confining cabin, warm air
and MANY ill people were having
a definitely negative effect.
The weather ranged from snow in
Guernsey (a rare event) to very
warm in the lake district (also an
infrequent occasion) but it worked
out that they only had to ride in
really bad weather one day (2
degrees Celsius and gusting rain).
The countryside was very green
and the scent of flowers was
everywhere.
Sandra, a creator of collector
bears, was lucky enough to spend
time with two well-known teddy
bear artists to learn how to design
her own bear patterns so she no
longer has to rely on modified
purchased patterns. Of course,
many teddy bear shops were visited
and two lovely British teddy bears
just couldn't be left behind.
Some 27 people were on hand at
the Golden Lantern Restaurant,
Sunday, June 18, to celebrate with,
Margaret Sweeney of Huronlea on
the occasion of her 84th birthday.
Following dinner the gathering
moved to the home of Margaret's
brother, Jim Smith where a social
time was enjoyed.
Guests, representing all branches
of her family, attended from Hamil-
ton, London, Belgrave and Bruce-
field.
A good time was had by all.
Mary Lowe and Ethel Brewer
accompanied the residents of
Huronview and Huronlea to
Hamilton Place on Wednesday,
June 14 where all enjoyed the
spring rendition of the Geritol

presented to her by teacher Rudy
Hooftman.
A former student at BPS, Cory
Bragg was on hand to present the
first Cory Bragg Athletic Award to
Sarah Excl and Jason Boivin. Also
making the presentation was teach-
er Bill Teall.
Sarah was the recipient of the
Ken Ashton Mathematics Award,
presented by teacher Karen Uhler
and trustee Don McDonald and the
Royal Canadian Legion Proficiency
Award. Making this presentation
was Legion rep Eric Ross and Prin-
