Kingsbridge holds special Arbor Day BY JEFF SEDDON Anyone driving past St.' Joseph's School in Kingsbridge would assume that the five trees planted on the school lawn are a recent attempt at landscaping. While the beauty of the trees has not been overlooked their importance is more than a simple landscaping project. The five trees signify five years of donations by Bernardine Kinney, a retired nurse now living in Ashfield township. Each Arbor Day for the past five years Mrs. Kinney has purchased a tree, donated it to the school, and on Arbor Day witnessed its planting and dedicated it to someone she holds dear in her heart. Mrs. Kinney went to school at St. Joseph's and left the tiny rural parish to pursue a nursing career in Detroit. When she retired five years ago she returned to a farm ,north of St. Joseph's and Leisure every year since then she has honored Arbor Day with a tree planting at St. Joseph's School. This year the celebration is belated because of poor weather on Arbor Day but the spirit of Arbor Day was evident Monday af- ternoon when Mrs. Kinney joined kin- dergarten andGrade One students on the school lawn for the tree plan- ting. The dedications are in honor of people that were former members,, of St. Joseph's parish. Two of the trees are in honor of her brothers Norman and Albert O'Loughlin, another honors Joseph and Eleanor Griffin, Mrs.. Kinney's grandparent's' who were former keepers of the Huron Historic Gaol, the fourth honors. Joe McIntyre, former road superintendent for the township and the fifth honors Mr. and Mrs. James Garvey. ////111 41111..,» Kenny Logtenberg, third - Annette Curran; over 12 - first -Shelley Rivett, second -Penny Hodges, third -Arlene Curran.
