Bill Braham and his Ontario Some historians have a lot of fun with history: Those that live it out and make it a hobby - in some cases, a family affair. The Black Powder and Heritage Militia types are good examples. They're the kind who pack their families and equipment into a trailer and take off for the weekend to live in some encampment simulating everything from the lives of early voyageurs to soldiers of the War of 1812. Last month, we did a TV news clip at the village of Port Dover, on Lake Erie's north shore, about what was billed at "The biggest reenactment in history of The War of 1812." Actually, it was about a single event that occurred, which became known .as "The Burning of Dover Mills." The village was commemorating the 175th anniversary of the time when the Yankees came across the Lake, allowed the women and children to evacuate, and burned the village to the ground, including the livestock. The reenactment was quite an af- \ fair. Hundreds of uniformed '< Americans "attacked" the Cana- A dians and some British at a big park on the outskirts of the village. An encampment had been set up nearby. It was a big camp with tents and the families of the soldiers living living in them for the weekend. They joined the thousands of visitors in watching the battle. The U.S. troops won it hands down. They had artillery, cavalry, infantry - the works! The Canadians Canadians were hopelessly outnumbered and retreated in disarray. It was a dandy battle while it lasted, but in history there wasn't any battle at all. The civilian militia didn't have time to get together and the Yanks moved right in. For the anniversary, however, friendliness was the keynote. The Americans were greeted at Port Dover's snug harbour and paraded up the main street while everybody cheered. The Port Dover Maple Leaf put out a special edition for the occasion which was a real win- ■ :<:™ n s in heritage outfits (ADA DAY 1989! - Official opening of Whitby apartments A ceremony to mark the official opening of 70 apartments for families in Whitby will be held on June 23, 1989 at 11:00 a.m. at 1525 Nichol Avenue.
