RM KAR, SIR SE CHRIS HALU/PORT PERRY STAR Port Perry Legion Branch 419 held its annual Remembrance Day service Sunday (Nov. 7). Legion members, family, friends, and the public gathered at the local Cenotaph to pay tribute to those who gave their lives during war time. The ceremony began with a colour parade, left, which wound its way to the Legion, where the names of the local men who lost their lives were read, followed by the laying of wreaths to remember them by. Among those who contributed wreaths were the Scugog Fire Department, led by Chief Richard Miller, above. Photo gallery, garden dedicated during Cartwright By Jeff Mitchell Port Perry Star One of Blackstock's most famous natives was welcomed home in style during a ceremony recently at the local community centre. Justice Mabel Van Camp of the Supreme Court of Ontario was the guest of honour when a garden and "dynamic photo gallery" named for her were unveiled Oct. 31. The projects were completed with funds provided by the province as part of its International Year of Older Persons initiative. Communities in this riding and across the province were encouraged to submit proposals for funding; $20,000 was budgeted in Durham riding. Fred Ford, who acted as master of ceremonies during the dedication and was on the committee which spedr- headed the project, said organizers had tried to come up with efforts that would recognize the contributions of seniors, and help improve the commu- nity. A portable gardens filled with bright flowers has been built, and will stand outgide the arena and hall dur- ing the warm months. And inside the hall have been hung several photos of people and places from Cartwright. The central photo, of Justice Van Camp, will remain in place, while the photos around it will be changed from time to time, said Mr. Ford. He encouraged Cartwright residents to ceremony submit their photos for use in the dynamic gallery. "We invite the community to supply us with photos that can be hung in this gallery," he said. "If you're proud of it, we'd like you to put your photo up there." Mr. Ford said a central theme in the committee's efforts was to beautify the community, and encourage others to do so: "We hope to expand this pro- ject throughout the community by set- ting a good example." In introducing Justice Van Camp, Mr. Ford said the guest of honour had blazed a trail in her profession, becoming the first woman to be appointed to Ontario's Supreme Court. "She excelled in a climate that was different for a woman," said Mr. Ford. "But she never let that stand in her way." Justice Van Camp praised the efforts of the committee that brought the project to completion, calling vol- unteers an invaluable source of energy and inspiration for the community. "The volunteers have given of their time and talent, and have kept us functioning," she said. "It is my hope that will continue." She urged those gathered in the hall to recognize that spirit of interde- pendence, and foster it. "As long as our community is alive and caring, we will survive," said Justice Van Camp. Blackstock.
