The hull had been a curiosity for many in town, while others knew all about it and the lasting legacy of the builder. The ship was a labour of love for Donald, or Doc Jardine as he was called, who lived in the stone house set back from the road with his wife Laura and two children, Todd and Londy. Donald was from a long line of boat people, so sailing was in his blood. His father, Cap Jardine, was a chief engineer and his grandfather, Charles Beatty, was a captain. There was no doubt Don would follow in their footsteps, and he was on the water by the age of 13. Londy said during her primary years her father would leave for months joining his crew on the Top: Doc Jardine with the boat while its (705) 466-9999 • 157 Mill St. Creemore large tankers, where he held the ribs were still showing.

Did you know that kids learn a lot more in kindergarten, first grade and second grade than kids in middle school or high school? Experts say that learning follows a curve where it is accelerated early Michele in life and then it levels off. NEWS LIBRARY McKENZIE Concepts like decoding, letter knowledge and word reading skills are very susceptible to decay without frequent practice. And we at Clearview Public Library along with our friends at the TD Summer Reading Club (TDSRC) are here to help prevent this syndrome known as the Summer Slide.

By inspiring kids to explore the fun of reading in a personalized way, a lifelong love for reading is nurtured.
