AUTHOR'S PREFACE This history has been appearing serially through the Lindsaj "Watchman-Warder" for the past eleven months and is now issued in book form for the first time. The occasion for its preparation is, of course, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of Victoria county. Its chief purposes are four in number: — (1) to place on record the local details of pioneer life that are fast passing into oblivion; (2) to instruct the present generation of school-children in the ori- gins and development of the social system in which they live; (3) to show that the form which our county's development has taken has been largely determined by physiographical, racial, social, and economic forces; and (4) to demonstrate how we may, after a scien- tific study of these forces, plan for the evolution of a higher eco- nomic and social order. The difficulties of the work have been prodigious. A Victoria County Historical Society, formed twenty years ago for a similar purpose, found the field so sterile that it disbanded, leaving no re- cords behind. Under such circumstances, I have had to dig deep.

  • What's Better Than 12 Months of Curling, Warm Weather?
    Newsletter of the London Curling Club February 2015 What’s better than 12 months of curling, warm weather? Imagine a paradise where it never gets cold and the curling season is 12 months a year. The bonspiels are held in the summer when arena rentals are cheaper because hockey teams have stored their gear until fall. Along with the customary handshake, the pre-game routine includes carrying 80 rocks from a freezer to a five-sheet ice surface, pebbling and installing the hacks. Welcome to Curl San Diego, a club launched in this southern California city in 2006. Canadians living there are part of the process, proving you can take a Canuck out of Canada but you cannot take away his or her curling passion. Keven Jeffery’s attachment to curling goes back to his days playing for his high school team in Aylmer, Ontario. His career as a librarian took him to Boston, where he worked in the Boston University medical school. Jeffery and his wife were dating at the time and they decided to move closer to his wife’s parents, who had retired to Phoenix, Arizona. Her brother was living in Los Angeles. “I saw this job in San Diego at San Diego State University,” Jeffery said. It was much closer to her family and “there was no (snow) shoveling.” He got the job. Keven is a nephew of Mary Lois Cooper, who along with her husband, Bruce, is a long-time London Curling Club member. Keven missed his sport. “I went in to watch Bruce curl and I was envious.” He never found a place to curl in Boston but he did in much more southerly San Diego, just minutes from the Mexican border.

  • Ennismore Curling Club Newsletter February 2018
    ENNISMORE CURLING CLUB NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2018 Peterborough’s John Epping has won the Ontario Tankard, Jennifer Jones is now the Scotties champion, and Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris have won gold at the Olympics. It won’t be long until the Brier and the Worlds, so it should not come as a surprise that we have only about five weeks left in our own curling season. In that light, this newsletter has a lot to catch up on and, with a busy rest of the season, quite a bit to look forward to. On to the news at hand – in no particular order. THE GENERAL STATE OF THINGS: At the recent Board meeting, Treasurer WAYNE STAFFORD reported that the Berg Ice Plant Management System installed last year has cut our hydro consumption by 35% over two years ago. Overall, the Club’s financial situation is stable and approximately at the level of last year, which, as you may remember was a significant improvement over two years ago. And that is a good thing: JOHN NORTON has reported that the brine pump was making an unhappy sound recently – a reminder that ice-making equipment doesn’t last forever. It’s a fact of life other clubs have faced this season, as I briefly mentioned in the November Newsletter. This past month when our ladies curled at the Peterborough Curling Club, they dodged ice mounds and orange cones on various sheets because the club’s ice plant had gone down. Fortunately, our brine pump seems to have quieted down and is working fine now but at some point will need bearings replaced.
