Compiled by June Fothergill Phone 523-4360
Unfortunately, due to a sore
throat, this correspondent did not
attend church Sunday.
However, last Sunday Rev. Paul
Ross gave a sermon on “Growing
Old”. When we returned from
home then my husband said, “Shall
we go down and visit Aunt Hazel?”
So, we went to the nursing home in
Kitchener. She is the eldest patient
there having turned 105 on March
17.
Aunt Hazel was a sister of Ell’s
mother. As a girl she was active
and like Mom a water lover.
Growing up in Sudbury, Lake
Ramsey was there to enjoy.
In her late teens she went to
Toronto to train as a nurse. After
graduation she worked at The
Children’s Hospital there for some
years and kept advancing, finishing
as the supervisor of nurses at the
Children’s Hospital in Thistletown.
Needless to say she was an
excellent nurse and is a lover of
children.
However, as the years passed her
parents needed someone to live
with them. They were both quite
well but getting up in years. They
even celebrated their 60th wedding
anniversary and were both well
over 90 before God called them
home.
Aunt Hazel returned to Toronto,
worked for a few more years, then
retired. She and a close friend,
Aunt Alice, lived together.
Fortunately when the latter passed
away her nephew Donald “Ell’s
younger brother” had moved to
Toronto. He was very good and
close to Aunt Hazel.
Don and family moved to
Waterloo and as she aged they
made arrangements for her at
Central Park Lodge, Kitchener. It is
similar to Huronview.
Joan, Don’s wife, was working
there. She has . been the
superintendent there but returns the
end of this month.
Well, Aunt Hazel was asleep
when we arrived and looked years
younger lying there. We wakened
her - she knew that company was
coming.
At first she did not recognize us
but we kept chatting to her and
suddenly she knew us. We were so
pleased and she was delighted. We
told her of many things and she
asked numerous questions.
She spoke about driving to our
home way back when and of other
adventures.
We did not want her to be
overtired so left after about a three-
quarter hour visit. We went to Don
and Joan's home. Joan said, “Your
visit will be a blessing for her’’.
So, we hope it will be a picker
upper for our dear lady of 105
years. That is “Growing Old”!

for the endorsement received in the
House of Commons for her Private
Members Bill on cumulative
sentencing.
Bill C-251, An Act to Amend the
The June meeting of Londesboro
UCW will be held at the church at
7:30 p.m. Monday, June 21. Debbie
Siertsema and Darlene VanderVeen
will provide entertainment.
Criminal Code and the Corrections
and Conditional Release Act,
which was passed by the House of
Commons June 7, is now destined
for consideration in the Senate.
In essence, the proposals would
effectively end the practice of
concurrent sentencing for
individuals convicted of sexual
assault (under section 271 of the
Criminal Code) and first and
second degree murder. In addition,
if passed by the Senate, the
legislation would also impose new
restrictions on parole eligibility.
Steckle, who supported the Bill
said, “By ending the common
practice of volume discounting
punishment for people who commit
the most heinous of crimes against
their communities, we have taken
an important first step along the
road to restoring the public faith in
our beleaguered justice system. I
look forward to an expedient
approval from the Senate.”
Steckle also applauded the
