4 - Orono Weekly Times Wednesday, November 29, 2006 Calver Continued from front known, three pilot brothers in the Commonwealth who paid the supreme sacrifice, according according to Calver. When the Clock Tower was dedicated, Calver began petitioning petitioning Town Hall to name a street after the Colvilles. "Politicians seem to have no problem getting streets named after them," Calver said in an interview with The Times on Monday morning, "we should be remembering the men who went overseas and never came back." According to Calver, a street name has been assigned to the Colvilles, but the sign is not yet up. Through Calver's insistence, Claringtoii did initiate initiate a program of naming streets after veterans, with a poppy on the sign identifying it as a street named after a veteran. veteran. • A year ago Calver began submitting a weekly article to this paper, listing filenames of local war dead. He co-ordinated co-ordinated the publication date as close to possible to the anniversary of their death. The articles include as much information information as Calver is able to determine where the soldier died, where he was buried, the name of his parents, a picture if available, and which cenotaph cenotaph his name is recorded on. Calver thought that after a year, he would have run out of names, but unfortunately that was not thé case. He now has a list of 74 names that he can't place, and is pleading for the public's assistance in putting an identity to these names. "The information is out there," said Calver. "There are relatives relatives and people who know these men," he stated. In a lot of cases he has a first initial and a last name. In the resource material he uses, KENDAL HILLS KENNELS All Breed Dog Boarding Facility Fully Licensed Vet Recommended BREEDERS OF FINE ENGLISH SETTERS AND CANADIAN HORSES ORONO, ONTARIO there is often more than one veteran with the same first initial initial and last name which- makes it impossible for him to distinguish between the ■ names. When he has found out everything he can about the names on Clarington's cenotaphs cenotaphs and memorials, Calver hopes to be able to publish his findings in a book; a lasting memorial to those men who left this, community to fight for freedom and never returned. Calver is pleading with anyone out there who has any information on the names on his list of 17 veterans, to please get in touch with him, either by phone at his home in Newcastle 905-987-4734, or e-mail snoopytoo@sympàtiço.ca WWI List: A.
