14- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 16, 1998 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Long-time administrator surprised at unveiling of 'secret' Home's Edna Goss is honored with dedication By Rik Davie Port Perry Star Community Nursing Home in Port Perry revealed the secret of its "Secret Garden" at a spe- cial ceremony last Friday. The garden, which was built with funds raised by residents of the home, their families, and many local businesses was dedi- cated by Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt as "Edna's Garden". Edna Goss, the soon- to-retire administrator of the home, burst into tears as residents and staff revealed the stone monu- ment to her years of ser- Allen' Siding vice. "This project has been a long time coming," she said with tear-filled eyes. "We let the residents take the lead in getting this place where they can come and enjoy a garden set- ting." The garden is a shaded and well-manicured space at the front of the Simcoe St. building. "At first it didn't seem possible financially and none of the other homes (owned by the company which owns Port Perry's) had one," said Mrs. Goss. "But I thought, well, why should we be like the LLIN Ra [OF0OJ01 8] Want to spread the Energy efficient windows reduce draft & increase warmth. Alcan vinyl & aluminum windows.

A staff member told The Star that the idea of nam- ing the garden just sort of came naturally: "The resi- dents loved the idea of naming the garden after Edna, and after it was first presented, they insisted on it." Mrs. Goss, who has been at the home almost 25 years, said she will never forget the gesture. "It's an honor I'm not sure I deserve, but I am touched," she said. "I'm going to cry every time I come out to the gar- den now." word?
