In Memoriam
Vickie Wiemer, North Bay, ON
With great sadness we are reporting the death of Vickie Wiemer. She had been unwell for several years and passed away on Wednesday, September 6. Vickie was a cherished member and past president of the North Bay Horticultural Society and, at one time, a member of District 12. With reassignment of the North Bay Society to District 18, she served there as District Director. Her dedication and enthusiasm will sorely be missed. Cards can be sent to: Rupert Wiemer and family, 1836 McKeown Ave., North Bay, P1B 7N4.
Youth Garden Competition
Our society has sponsored a youth garden competition for at least 12 years and this year was one of
the most popular. We had 16 keen children from the Englehart area who planted and tended
gardens as part of the society's Youth Garden Competitions. In August, judges Lois Dekker and
Judy Brownlee visited the gardens and were pleased with the efforts of the children this summer.
The result of the judging is as follows:
JK/SK 1st: Sierra Denomme and Brynn Warner 2nd: Liezl and Steve Nemecsok
Grade 1-3 1st: Haley Schenk 2nd: Kyra Shearing, Makayla MacPherson and Chase Hamilton
3rd: Olivia Nemecsok and Caleb Schenk
Grade 4-8 1st: Aaron Mowbray 2nd: Aiden MacPherson and Nate Hamilton 3rd: Rhys and
Annalee Robertson.
Thank you to the entrants for all their hard work, to the adults who encouraged them, and to the
judges who gave up their time to judge the gardens. As we have learned, planting and tending their
own garden instills in children a sense of responsibility and pride in their work.
