  Wow, good news happening up at the Oakdene Center! Linda Mae Findlay, president, just received word that the Center has been approved funds of  $15,577 under the New Horizons for Seniors Grant.  This money will be used to put metal roofing on the front south slope, put new front and  fire exit doors on the main floor, and install Lexan plastic on 15 windows for energy efficiency.

Kudos to the Oakdene Board for their tenacity in keeping the old girl going.

A tragic highway accident took the lives of Freda and Norm Gammon on Tuesday, May 8th.  The accident happened on the stretch of Highway 101 near Grosse Coques, and involved a second car, seriously injuring both occupants.  The accident occurred around 9 pm.

Freda and Norm Gammon, both in their 70’s, were well known and well loved in their home community of Clementsvale, where they were actively involved in the vital Clementsvale Garden Club. Their energy and good humor will be greatly missed in the community and surrounding area.
