I am trying to reach Don Delisle, a historian who was working on a book about the Adams family of Lobster Cove, Gaspe. I have been unsuccessful with an earlier email (from ca. 2003, 2006)
Would anyone have any information on how best to contact him? I am trying to get information on one an ancestor who married into the Adams family, after having been shipwrecked on the Carrick in 1847. Any resources would be helpful.

We were very sad to hear that one of the sweetest people we ever knew passed away. Emery was a big part of the memories we had of Gaspe. His sweet smile and gentle ways endeared him to all. We send our love and prayers to his family and all who loved him.

She always made me very welcome in her house in Farewell Cove and I spent many hours and nights there with my childhood and teenage friend Phyllis.

UNITY MARCH ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 2013 and this is for the UIC please come join us we need your help
This Saturday (19 January 2013, beginning at 1PM at the Shigawake Log Cabin), we are inviting all of our neighbors to come out and participate in a friendly and peaceful demonstration against the Harper Government’s Omnibus bills C38 and C45 that will have a negative impact on both Native and Non-Native People in the Gaspesie.
These bills are being passed without the consultation of the Canadian People or the First Nations Peoples of Canada. This is a violation of the Canadian constitution and it is an infringement on First Nation Treaty Rights.
The laws that the Harper Government is passing are going to change all of our lives forever. Seasonal workers will no longer be able to provide for their families as they always have and our water sources will no longer have the environmental protections that regulate industries that want to exploit the oil, gas and mining resources on our territory. For Gaspesians, this is devastating because almost all of our jobs are seasonal and most of those jobs are related to the water! We must stand together to protect OUR future and OUR environment.
This is an opportunity to show the Federal Government that both Natives and Non-Natives are united to protect our rights. And above all, that we will not accept the Harper Government’s attacks on our constitutionally protected rights as Canadian Citizens and First Nations People.
Everyone is welcome to join us at the Log Cabin in Shigawake. We will meet there at 12:49PM and we will begin our march in solidarity from the Log Cabin at 1 pm, down to the Fairgrounds. All traffic circulation will be stopped during this event.
There will be speakers who will address the importance of our unity against these omnibus bills. These laws will have a negative impact on us all if we do not stand together and tell the Harper Government that we have had enough of his dictatorship!!!
As Bernard Jerome said, referring to Non-Natives and Natives, "It's no longer us against them, it's us"
On 5 January 2013 the people of Gesgapegiag warmly invited us to walk beside them in peace and friendship in support of an important common cause. On Saturday 19 January 2013 we welcome them and our surrounding communities to join us in Shigawake and to walk proudly together once again |

Our memories of Leo was of a man who enjoyed being in the woods, hunting or just driving around. He was good with his hands, enjoyed tinkering with this and that. He took pride in doing a good job at whatever he set his mind to doing. He did body work on our son's car and some of the cars we had over the years we knew him and we were always pleased with the work he did. Our thoughts and sympathies are with you at this difficult time. John and Diane Miller |

My family and I spent the summers on Haldimand Beach for nine years many years ago. The time spent their holds some of the most wonderful memories for our whole family. My parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year and as a surprise gift, we were hoping to be able to rent the same house, or any house on Haldimand Beach for one week next summer, 2013.
Would anyone know or have the contact information for the home owners whose house is mid way down the beach, brown in colour with distinctive antlers affixed to the outside wall of the house facing the beach? If not, would you know of anyone on that beach who would be willing to rent their home for one week to an extremely respectful and well mannered family?
I can be reached at jamos@sympatico.ca
Many thanks.

Hello Martha,
Concerning the Nancy Drew books...there are quite a few of these books in the library at the Gaspe Poly. Please stop by any afternoon during the week (I am away next week) or call me at the office, 368-2903, to arrange a time for you to visit. You can borrow as many as you like. |

Hey Tina,
I think i can help you out with the recipe you asked about.
You need for 4 people about a pound of clear salt pork, NO LEAN or the meat wont crisp properly. You may have to ask youir butcher about this. If you want to feed more people you would need more pork. These are the gridalles. slice you meat thin or have the store do it. Put the meat in a large and deep frying pan cover with water and boil two minutes pour off the water and begin to fry the meat on low heat you will have to turn it often and turn the heat higher as you go along ( be careful not to get burned and turn up the fans this meat will splatter a lot and cause some smoke) fry until the grillades are golden brown and remove from the fat very carefully . Place on a plate on a piece of paper towel to absorb the fat. Turn the heat down on your frying pan to low and add two finely sliced onions cook until they are clear then when you serve your fish just put some onion and fat on it and grillades on the side. This is the Coteau way , enjoy

| I am responding to the request of Bonnie Hotton asking about the Black Whale Cook Book. I have a copy of this book it was first printed in 1948. There is a phone number and address in the book, I called the number and spoke to a very nice gentleman who told me there is none in circulation at the ptesent time but he is expecting to have more printed by next summer. He apparently has all rights to this book.Hope this will be of some help to you. yours truly Janice Farrow nee. Miller |

| I am sending this message on behalf of my mother Aurora Ste-Croix. Aurora was born in Barachois on October 27, 1940. Aurora moved to Ontario in 1963. Aurora is very much interested in locating her cousin Maurice Lemieux. She has fond memories of Maurice growing up and would love to contact him. We have reason to believe that Maurice lives in Ontario. If anyone knows where we may be able to contact Maurice that would be wonderful. Thank you for all your efforts, Doris |

| I got a package in the mail today from Deanna Morrison in response to my request for pictures of the old Soldiers Memorial Hospital. Some have also e-mailed old pictures. Thanks to all of you who wrote, sent pictures and memories for my mother's 100th birthday. Yeah for all the down homers! I was reading and talking with her today. She was most disgusted with me because I couldn't get geography and rivers and towns straight. She said either take a trip or get yourself a map, then you'll get straightened around. The trip sounds much better than a map. Thanks again for all your help. In behalf of Jean Young from Oak Point, but also from her wanna-be down homer daughter Diane Minerich |

| Hi, I'm researching my family tree and hoping somebody can help. I remember as a child Rev. Grover Kendrick, his wife and mother-in-law visiting with us in NL(1960's). I know they lived in the Gaspe area. His wife and mother-in-law were relatives of my father. I don't know if they had any children, can't remember any visiting with them. If anyone has any information about this family, if they stayed in the area, or moved, where they live or where they are buried, I'd greatly appreciate it. e-mail h.dbutler@yahoo.com |

| I have been searching diligently, but have not found a source for a picture of the old building, Soldier's Memorial. Mother would be so happy to see it. She never lost her love of the Gaspe. She just asked today if I would take her there one more time. She still is Nurse Jean, and tries as she can to help the "patients" she lives with in assisted living. She regularly chides the doctors for not examining persons who have symptoms she thinks should be seen to. And the nurses catch H--- if their nursing technique is inadequate. That must have been some great training she got in Cambellton to still be practicing 70 years later. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide me. dianeminerich@comcast.net |

To Bruce Patterson and all those concerned with the Sunnybank Store. My understanding is that if a building is over 100 years old, it can be cosidered a Heritage Site if it is or has been of some value to a community. I understand the Sunnybank store is over 100 years old and certainly appears to be of some value to the COMMUNITY OF SUNNYBANK,has anyone approached those who would be involved in this area to have it declared a Heritage Site, or am I wrong in the interpretation of a heritage property.

I've just finished a summary of our time in Douglastown with pictures and music. Hopefully, I'll have some videos of the Irish Week up on our site soon too.

I would like to thank the Douglastown Irish Society for having this special night in memory of my father Erskine Morris, originally from Douglastown on his life and music, at the Community Centre during Irish week . Thanks to Brgid and all the musicians who jammed with us, and dancers who made this a special night, and all Douglastowners from near and far who came out to see us.
A special thank you to my friend Glenn Patterson who did the presentation and played all the tunes.
Our fiddle/guitar sessions at Norma’s & Brian’s and at Aunt Phyliss were also highlights of our week there.
It nice to know that old time fiddle is alive and well in Douglastown.

For anyone interested in the fiddle music of the Gaspe, there are a few things going on during the Irish Days the first week of August in Douglastown at the Community Centre.
On Aug 3 at 7 pm, myself and some friends will be giving a presentation on the fiddle music of several fiddlers from around Douglastown, notably Erskine Morris. Anyone with memories of the old time music and step dance is welcome to come and share their stories, or even a song, or tune.
On Aug 4 and 5th, I'll be giving beginner and intermediate fiddle workshops. If you've always wanted to learn the fiddle, I'll get you started with holding the instrument and bow and playing a few simple tunes by the end of the class. For the intermediate class, I'll introduce you to some fairly straightforward tunes and techniques once very popular among fiddlers on the coast. The cost is by donation. If you don't own a fiddle, contact the Community Centre at 418 368 0288 and they will provide you with one.
Here is the program guide:

| Adair, in reply to your message regarding the CBC interview that Ron and I had with Jacquie Czernin and Bruce Todman on York River Seniors. I did indeed speak about our President, Tony Patterson, who has done so much for the club. I was very disappointed when it aired and this was not mentioned. I had a phone call from Jacquie Czernin that evening and I asked about this. She apologized but said they had run out of air time.She asked me to give Tony her apologizes as well,which I did. |

A further note to that of Martha Patterson Costello concerning lost $$$. She is correct in saying that these searches are very easy to do yourselves on the Bank of Canada website. If however you do choose to send an actual email to inquire further, please provide your full name, address and postal code as this minimizes the workload of the Bank of Canada staff. There are only a few people working in the Unclaimed Balances area and with the current national news coverage concerning "Forgotten Fortunes" these people are being bombarded with emails, so giving as much information as you can speeds up the process and minimizes frustration for everyone.
Thanks,
Richard Mullin |

Do you have lost $$$? Perhaps you do..... The Bank of Canada is holding millions in unclaimed balances! It's easy to check for yourself & / or friends & relatives, living or deceased. I just found $500 of a friend's sitting there! It's easiest to search by surname only..... and be sure to check other provinces too; I see a Patterson / Simpson's Automobiles in Ontario.
Go to:
http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/index.html
Under services, in the top tool bar, see 'unclaimed balances'

Part 2 of our article on Cyril Devouge's fiddle music is finally completed. In this article we post a few of Cyril's best tunes recorded at the home of Brigid Miller (Drody) in the 1990's when Cyril would have been in his 80's. I also provided a link at the bottom to a page where I teach a few of Cy's tunes, slowing them down if there are any fiddle players out there.
Thanks to everyone who has been reading the blog and enjoying this fiddle music.

I have many fond memories of Row, she was a constant figure in my life all those childhood years in Gaspe. She had many children pass under her wing, and we all respected her so much. From her Sunday school teachings and warm smile she had for all of us, right up to her stern look and her finger to her lips when we were loud in church, everybody loved Row! I have many snapshots in my mind of her bringing her beautiful flowers to grace the church most Sunday mornings. May she rest in peace, and may her family cherish the memories they have forever. |

Hi there,
I did a little article about my friend Cyril Devouge from L'Anse à Brillant and thought it may be of interest to some of the readers here. Cyril has been a good friend, fiddle teacher, and source of knowledge about the old-time ways in the past half-year and I wanted to document some of the knowledge he has passed on to me. I'm sure many of you will know some of the names in the article, feel free to leave a comment on our site at the bottom.

It was with shock and sadness to hear of the untimely passing of Johnny. I wanted so much to be with you, but that wasn't to be I guess. Had I not taken sick, I would be there now. We will miss Johnny when we go to Gaspe, and not find him at home. We both thought so much of him. If only there were words to express our thoughts and a way to help you through this difficult time, but please know we are with you in spirit, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

| Praise to God.For the very pretty scenes off of the York River Bridge, that I have seen this past fall of 2010.We have our regrets from the floods in Dec.,but nothing can compare with what God has given "to us to look at,that takes away the hurt,with such breath taking views of that same river. All winter ,spring,summer and fall we pass there and always look to expect a different scene each time.Travellers can also tell,that we now are home, once we cross that bridge. We can also see the fish in that same river,swimming about,and watch the ducks,geese and other birds swim and take flight at the least noise.Every now and then there ia an otter,a beaver etc,and along the shore line a deer can be seen walking along, but always something new.We can watch kids swim and skidoos run by and a boat of some kind pass.On the bridge many a friendly conversation has gone on. Yes we can have our sad moments with the high rises of the water ,but most of us wouldnt trade this homeland for anything. God Bless our Gaspe home. Arlene Boyle |

To all those who have been affected by the flooding and especially those in Sunny Bank,
We are thinking about you and wish there was some way we could help. Does anyone know if there has been a fund set up so people can make a donation to help those who were most affected by the flooding? If so could someone post it here so we can make a donation? Thanks.
Gaspesians are a tough lot, so we know you'll get through this but it's a busy time of year and then to have this kind of thing to deal with too is not easy. Hang in there!

| Remembering former floods.... Dad [Joe Patterson] reminisces ..." The fall Father died [Oct 1920] three men [he forgets just who they were] got in a canoe at our barn & paddled right across to Mr John Eagle's store, stepped out of the canoe onto the step. Uncle Rupt's barn [now Carley Patterson's] was a bit lower, had water in it, but they didn't have to take the animals out, not quite." Times were simpler in 1920 - there wouldn't have been the damage then there'll be this time 'round..... thoughts are with you all. Martha, in sunny, cold [windchill-25*] Ottawa |

| Hi Folks, I too am disappointed in that decision. My great grandmother was the instegater of the first church being built of those days in that whole area. The reason was that she had to go to Gaspe to church and found it too far and it wasnt the church she preferred to go to so she was the main one to start the anglican church in york. I for one will send a donation if thats what they need. I think that we who pay any amount to that church should have a say in closing it. There is no need to do it. A church just closed here where I live and there is a sad result. People like habit not disruption and it will cause a permanent dissruption. Arlene Boyle |

| It is with a truly heavy heart that I extend my belated, warm thoughts at this time of loss to Judy, Leann, Shelley, Gordie and Mr. Drody. This woman fed me often as a teenager, and I have still to taste a meat pie that rivals hers! I am sorry. Hugs Cyndi ;) |

Dear Cara and Family,
So sorry to hear about Murray's death. It is strange as just the other day I was thinking of him and when I taught school in L"Anse Aux Cousins. Murray was an imp and always had that saucy smile! Just this summer I met with Bruce and Paul at Eric's and we had a great chat about those days. Please accept my deepest sympathy in your loss, time is the only healer, but peace will come. Cara I remember, with such pleasure, the times I was at your house during the years of growing up, Love Ruth (Miller) |

Hi there,
I'm looking for information on a Father Elias Morris who was a parish priest in Fox River some time ago. We are doing a project to collect the older fiddle tunes that come from the area around Douglastown and found a tune that my friend's dad played that is called "Father Morris' Tune". My friends father was an old-time fiddler from Douglastown and a relative of Father Morris. Apparently, Father Morris was very musical and we would like to find out more about this man and perhaps also his music.
You can hear Father Morris' tune here if you scroll down a bit:

Think about all his ventures, the legion, his devotion to ideas and conviction. He saw the BIG picture, long before it even existed!! My gratitude to him, in believing in tree plantations cannot be expressed in words. Many young people in our area grew up making money tree planting, because he quickly understood the importance of... the community. Bruce |

Friends,
I've just finished an article about a visit we had recently with a fiddler from Brilliant Cove. His name is Cyril Devouge and he is 95 years young living in a rest home in Chateauguay.
We have recordings of many of the stories and jokes he told about people back home that some of you may enjoy.
He also mentions some of the following fiddlers from the area: Willie & Roland White, Adolphus and Elias MacKay, Arty Savidant, and step dancer Isidore LeRhé. If anyone out there knew or has information on these players, we'd love to hear from you.
Here is the article:

Marlee,
I'm not sure there's a tune of his called new Toyota but I like the sound of it and we've been known to give a lot of the tunes temporary titles, this may be the next one :)
Anyhow, I'd be happy to either write out any of the tunes from our Erskine Morris blog for you in sheet music or send you a recording of me playing the tunes very slowly so you can pick up each note.
Get in touch with me at glenndavidpatterson@gmail.com and we'll fix you up |

I have discovered the wonderful fiddle tunes of Erskine Morris and would like to know if you have the sheetmusic for most of them. I am particularly interested in New Toyota. It's a great tune! I prefer to learn by note but if need be, I can learn by ear just as quickly.
Hoping you can help me ASAP.
Thanks. |

The family of the late Donald Patterson and Linda Miller would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who expressed their sympathy during this most difficult time.
Perhaps you sang a lovely song, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent beautiful flowers, if so we saw them there. Perhaps you sent or spoke kind words as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Perhaps you prepared some tasty food or maybe sent a charitable donation. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from ‘afar. Whatever you did to console the heart, we thank you so much for whatever the part.
Your kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten.

Re/ Gaspe' Breakfast
I would like to thank Jackie and Earle for their great planing of the breakfast.
The caterers need to be told of the poor quality of their food. The breakfast was a disappointment.
This does not reflect on your planning and hospitality, you both did an excellent job working the floor greeting the folks. It was so nice to meet fellow Gaspesians again. I hope that you will continue to plan get togethers. Have a great summer.

Hey guys,
Thought some of you might be interested in a blog I have started up on life of my friend's father, Erskine Morris, who was an old time fiddler from the Gaspé. We have a bunch of recordings of his playing that we will be posting as well as anecdotes, pictures, and whatever else we can think of.
The site is:
http://gaspefiddle.blogspot.com/
He played some pretty incredible stuff, mostly just fiddle and clogging with his feet. Many of these are tunes that are almost certainly local to the Gaspé. Myself and Erskine's son are working to preserve this music. All the music you you can stream or download from the blog.
Feel free to subscribe using GoogleReader or any other aggregator. We will be posting something once or twice a week. Comments on the blog are welcome!
Cheers,
Glenn |

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone out there in the Gaspe has video footage or pictures of the 1984 Wakeham Homecoming. I'm working with my friend whose dad was a fiddler from Douglastown. We are doing a project about his life, music, and the culture he grew up in. His name was Erskine Morris. His son reckons there was probably someone with a camera present and if so, there is a chance there is footage with the father and son playing fiddle and guitar there. Also, if anyone knew Erskine, has photos, videso, tapes, stories, etc. I would love to hear from you.
Please feel free to pass this request on to friends and family,
Thanks for your help,

This is the first letter from Liz Ballins who with her friend Theresa Joseph, both retired nurses from Pointe Ste. Pierre, currently in Uganda.
We are having a fantastic time here in Uganda. So great I don't know where to begin. My sister Bridget and John decided that we ought to spend the winter with them, not rent a place nearby! as not having a car would have made it too difficult. Their house on a clear day has a good view of Lake Victoria,..Bridge has worked hard in the garden and in less than a year it looks lovely. The monkeys come for the ripening bananas that Bridge planted last year and also the mangoes. This morning a vervet monkey was checking his reflection in our bedrroom window inches from my bed!
When we arrived Mama guinea was sitting on eggs, unfortunately they hatched on a rainy day when we were on safari and so several died right away and then a hawk made lunch of several more, Now the remaining 2 chicks are about 12 days old and are in a run that we made before Christmas. Only 2 chicks but as Theresa optimistically points out 'twice as many as last year!'
Before Christmas Theresa and I helped Bridge and the EWA ladies (Entebbe Womens Association) with their Christmas party for orphans and vulnerable children living not too far away. This entailed Bridge going to their village and piling them all into her SUV. There was one other vehicle so 2 trips and everyone had arrived. I was amazed at their cheery singing and grateful little hearts. There were 60 in all. The EWA ladies had cooked up traditional food, Matoke (unripe banana, posho (cooked cornmeal) beans, cabbage dodo (Ugandan spinach )and for a treat chicken. After the feast we played games and before piling the children back into the cars to go back to their village gave each a plastic bowl,and cup filled with candy. They all bobbed their little curtsies and were so happy with their special day.
On Christmas day we were 12 for dinner here, with 3 cooks in the kitcken, (Bridge, Theresa and I) and preparation the day before it was not much work at all. We made it a real English Chrristmas with crackers and plum pudding (compliments of Gracie!...thanks again Gracie)...yes, we carried cranberry sauce, mincemeat etc. from Canada!!
We had a lovely time and encouraged all the guests to be gone by 8pm in order to get an early start on Boxing day.
Bridge and John had planned an 8 day safari. Our first stop though being at a rural village where we are sponsoring 10 orphans. We'd been to market and bought the boys ,T' shirts and girls dresses or skirts as well as age appropriate Ugandan story books , math review books etc, skipping ropes and soccer ball.(We wanted the kids to review their reading and math before returning to school for the new school year)..we put them all in boarding school, $100:00 /term. This way they get one hot meal a day and don't have to walk miles looking for wood for cooking etc. We felt bad that we hadn't bought clothes for the 12 or so other children anyway we did have candy for everyone...The children were so shy..we'd wrapped the gifts and they weren't sure about opening the packages!! all the clothes fit! and before leaving they insisted on us taking a big bag of mangoes from their tree.They have so little but are very generous with what they have.
Stephen Lewis Fdn has helped them build a water tank and given them goats and chickens which are already bringing in a little income for them. We have so much in Canada, and there is so much poverty here.Uganda's population is 30million..if every Canadian family helped one Ugandan family their lives would be dramatically changed.
After seeing our sponsored kids we continued along dusty,dreadfully bumpy roads to our first camp. The thatched cottages were on a hillside all hidden so you felt like you were alone, with a verandah looking over the National Park. We went game drives morning and evening and saw all kinds of antelope... zebra, topi, impala, ealand etc. and a few buffalo + all sorts of birds and eagles. Bridget is an avid 'birder' and we had to stop for every possible new species.!! Back at camp there was a pool, Uganda is on the Equator and it gets quite hot!...better not complain with you at -10C !! ha!ha! After 2 nights at Mahingo Lodge we continued to Inshasha Wilderness Camp.
Inshasha camp was right on the river..this time it was a tented camp, with indoor loo for nighttime. Our instructions for the night were to .." only blow the whistle for illness or ants" (If an army of Soldier ants walks through your tent and you can't get away, they make short work of you!!...I knew that from when I was a child. ( Remember I lived in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe) ..an African prisoner was yelling and carrying on in his cell and noone went to check and in the morning only bones were left!...If we heard hippo walking around or lions or leopard to stay in the tent and do nothing!!..no way were we to leave the tent after our chaperone had left us safely there...there were coleman lanterns along all the pathways and really it was very safe. One night a leopard woke me early in the morning with his roaring..I was told that he was having an argument with some baboons! Theresa and I saw our first colubus (black and white ) monkeys when were having our early morning tea outside our tent before our early morning game drive. Inshasha was great for animals . We saw a leopard sleepinng in a tree within a few minutes of entering the park...but did notget a good photo as it was a little too far away and you can get fined $150:00 for leaving the trail unless you are with a park warden. We saw ellies, again not too close, but with my new camera took some good pictures, a big herd of buffalo were crossing the road and another group wallowing in the mud! On an afternoon drive with warden we saw 3 lion, one sleeping in one tree and 2 in another. These lions like to check out what's for dinner from the vantage of a tree top, big old fig trees they like best!..this time we got several good photos. On another afternoon walk, the warden took us along the river and we encountered a huge huddle of hippos cooling off in the river. Mostly they stay in the water during the day and come out to munch on grass at night.
The dining room was set up along the river bank with a good view of the river...yellow and black weaver birds were busy with their nest building..hundreds of nests in one tree so they are aptly called Village weavers!
After 3 nights at Inshasha we continued to Ndali lodge. I will never again complain about our roads..it was a good thing we had a proper 4 wheel drive and new tires! the roads were mostly uneven tracks with rocks everywhere.On the drive to Ndali we first saw a huge troup of baboons hogging the road and not in any hurry to make way for us. I, with my camera always handy took some sweet photos of them with their babies riding piggy-back.....Then turning another corner John had to jam on anchors as a herd of cow ellies were in the middle of the road nursing their babies... a car came from the other direction and the Mama ellies were not pleased at being hemmed in..they were trumpeting and flapping their ears at us. Bridget was in front..."John reverse up, I said reverse , reverse NOW!" actually it was a bit scary, but amazibg to see them so close, especially the little ones having a mid-morning snack!
Ndali lodge was built on the top of an old crater and definitely worth the hairraising drive. The cottages with their thatched roofs , and the old fashioned hot water system (44gallon drum over a wood fire) was exactly the way we heated our water on our farm (Arcadia-Paradise). Even the dogs came and curled up under our table when we were having early morning tea on the cottage verandah. I almost shed a tear with all the memories that came flooding back.There were 2 views from the top of the crater. On the breakfast verandah we overlooked a beautiful crater lake and the swimmingpool side had a lovely view of Ugandan smallholdings growing matoke, corn, cassava tea etc.with the Rwenzori mountains in the distance.On New year's Eve we were 20 guests with Aubrey the owner and his Ugandan wife, Clare....many corners of the globe were represented, hailing from Russia, Italy, Sweden, England and of course Canada. Aubreys grandfather owned the property years ago, but when Idi Amin kicked all the foreigners out he had to leave. The present president Museveni invited all the Asians and everyone who still had deeds to their land back. Now tourism is booming and the Asians are back setting up businesses too. We all sat at one long table and had dinner by candlelight just like when I was a child! and back in the cottage we had a coleman lantern which we left in the bathroom for some light during the night.(Much of rural Uganda still is without electricity)After 2 relaxing days at Ndali we came back to Entebbe.
This past wednesday at EWA we brought about 10 orphan children to EWA for the day and gave them one on one math, English, Social studies and Religon review. The govt puts out "holiday" package so the children can review and not forget everything during the long Christmas break. Well, we didn't study all day some of the kids were quite young ...I had Sadik a 9 year old Muslim boy I was suprised at how well he read.In the afternoon we played games that involved remebering new words and learning to spell them.
When Bridget took the kids back to the village she found one of their aunties (Margaret) lying on a mat in the hut. She had fallen, and was c/o awful pain around her ankle.....So instead of being home by 5p.m. as planned, she spent another 4 hours getting her admitted to the local Catholic mission hospital. By the time the paper work was done, Amos the x-ray tech had gone home. ...Boy, we'd better not complain about our health services. Each patient must have their own attendant, who brings food, washing up bowl and bedding!...So back to Margaret's hut to collect Irene 15years and supplies!....Next morning (THurs) the 3 musketeers and an EWA interpreter Shallon went back out to the hospital ...To cut a long story short the xray was done that day..and Margaret had a fractued fibula. The doc set it on Friday. We thought she'd be ready for discharge Sat. afternoon! BUT we had to get the crutches and all the suppliers were closed for the weekend.!!!.... health care is not free like in Canada so poor Margaret was very upset about the hospitalization until we assured her we were taking care of it. She said "but what can I give you to thank you, I have nothing but Jesus , so I will give you Jesus".!! The folk here are nearly all faithful Christians, the granny in the next bed was having her attendant read from a well worn Bible. This morning Bridget left at 0830 to get crutches and take Margaret home...it's 1200 and shee's not back yet...patience is something you had better have in Uganda as everything works in slow motion.
Well I'll end here, watch the slippery roads everyone .
Love from us both Liz and Theresa. |

| I have just returned from a wonderful trip to Gaspe. I was there with my husband George Dee to celebrate his Aunt Bea's 100th birthday. Beatrice Dee McNally turned 100 on Jan 8th,2010. We spent a wonderful day with her. We travelled with her son Lawrence and wife Connie Kennedy McNally. We visited with many friends and relatives. I enjoyed it so much. I think Aunt Bea also enjoyed her special day. Sharon Boyle Dee |

Further to my message of a few weeks ago re Sears L.D. telephone plan. I have since found out that in December 07, Sears changed their 'Easy Talk 1000' plan to 'Easy Talk 2000', thus doubling the amount of talk time for the same price $19.95/mo. There was no advice sent to regular Sears account holders. Apparently they did away with the 1000 minute plan. However in December 08, they reinstated the 'Easy Talk 1000' for $9.95/mo for new customers but did nothing for the unsuspecting customers who were still paying $19.95/mo.
Today, Sears have agreed to reimburse me for this overcharge, retroactive to Dec. 08. As I have two telephones under this plan it is a significant amount for me. They stated today that they were most anxious to resolve this problem with customers so anyone who has had the same experience may reach this department at 1-800-511-5111. Good luck. Adair |
