President’s Message Submitted by Gord Kruger, Evergreen Club President
Greetings Everyone!!.....I hope all is going reasonably well in "Your" bubble". A new month is upon us and the first order
of business for me is to retract to some degree the rather brash statement I made in my April message. I talked about the
train in the tunnel and how I thought that there was some slight sign of improving numbers in our battle with the "Covid
Monster". I seemed to infer that the train was still at the far end of tunnel but it's light was flickering. Well...I think that
flicker has temporarily dulled. The train it seems, jumped the tracks shortly after that and at this time I'll not chance any
further predictions. The numbers in British Columbia took off to new heights in April and Dr Bonnie and her political pals
had to re-adjust their thinking. It seemed that we are almost back at square one......can't even go to Timmies or McDonalds
and grab a sit down cup of coffee.....and as a matter of fact, we really can't do much of anything or go anywhere. I really
didn't see that coming and the reality of it all stings severely. I'll not even begin to discuss what it's done to the status of the
Evergreen activities. I'll leave that to our stalwart coordinator Janet and her team. I know she will have some things to tell
you in her report in this issue of the newsletter....and I'll just sit here with egg on my face.
As we continue to confront this menace it seems that the only real solution is to get the vaccine numbers up and continue our
use of the safety layers that we have at our availability. Surely to goodness there will come a time when we will be able to put
all this behind us and we REALLY will see that train get back on track. It's been a long long time now that our club activities
have been scuttled.....we've all aged another year, a year lost at a time in our life when years are so highly coveted. Fortunately
we live in an area where COVID numbers have been fairy low and our membership seems to have been lucky in that sense.
But we have lost a few of our membership to natural causes over this past year and that part of it is sad....sad to have the end
come during such a turbulent time. To the families and friends of those that have passed, I offer my condolences.
I also want to take a moment to recognize our many wonderful volunteers. Although it may seem that there is little you
can do at the moment, do not despair. "SOON"....and hopefully very soon, you will be called on to make it all happen once
again....and our club will flourish once more. April was volunteer month and once again we were unable to recognize our
volunteers with celebration.....hopefully April 2022 will be totally different.....gotta' get that train moving.
That's a wrap for now....stay safe and continue with the safety protocols.........see you at the train station.....gk

Cathy’s Corner MAy Edition
We were fortunate to be able to host the Comox Valley Volunteer Tax Clinic again this year.
Although the program had many modifications to comply with the safety guidelines, one thing
remained the same, the service was greatly appreciated by the community. Thank you to all the tax
volunteers and tax greeters who volunteered their time. It is great to see some of our volunteers
return, even under these strange circumstances!
Since the club has been closed I have been utilizing the time with some professional development. I took a course on
volunteer management in the fall and now I am learning InDesign. InDesign is the computer program Janet uses to design
our newsletters. I am excited to learn this new skill as I have always enjoyed learning and I have a creative side I like to
incorporate into my work. This program will allow me to create fun things like posters and pamphlets for special events,
and of course allow me to assist with the newsletter. Normally things like professional upgrading take a back seat during the
busy times, so this has been a great way to maximize this (temporary) quieter time. I hope you are finding new and exciting
things to do with your time as well.
Missing the opportunity to connect with others has probably been one of the most difficult aspects of the pandemic. That is
why, I am so excited about the announcement of the planning of some outdoor groups. With the arrive of spring, I couldn’t
think of a better time to be outside to catch up with old friends and to soak up the beautiful spring weather.

Evergreen Club members’ Submissions
From “Stories About Lorna”
by Betty Annand
Lorna has a ranch and has raised some very talented horses. Through the years she’s
also raised many other remarkable animals such as her “special needs” chickens,
Bill, Lert, Stevie Wonder and Dob. The following are Bill and Lert’s stories -
Bill
When Lorna first acquired chickens, she didn’t have a chicken coop and the chickens had to run wild during the day, and
roost in the barn at night. One evening she came across one of the hens roosting in a tree instead of the barn. The poor bird
appeared to be starving. On closer inspection she discovered that its beak was deformed so badly it could barely eat. The
top beak was straight but the bottom one had grown in sideways. No wonder it was starving to death! Because of the hen’s
abnormality, Lorna nicknamed her “Bill.”
I’m sure Bill would have been Sunday dinner if she belonged to anyone else, but Lorna couldn’t kill any animal. She fed Bill
by hand everyday for the next 16 years! Because she worked as Chief Steward on the Powell River ferry, she was able to bring
home all the leftover scrambled eggs from the ship’s café and those eggs, along with 140 corn kernels that Lorna flattened
every day, managed to keep Bill alive and well all those years. Of course what Bill appreciated most was all the TLC Lorna
gave her.
Lert
Bill proved to be a good broody hen and hatched a lot of chicks during the following years. Then, as the poor bird aged, and
her health began to fail, there was always one chick from each of her hatchings that would remain at her side until the next
batch, and then another chick would take over the vigilance. The last hen to watch over Bill stayed with her until the end. This
chicken was so alert and dedicated to her task, that Lorna named her “Lert.”
Near the end, Lert would cover Bill with one of her wings as though to comfort her and keep her warm. It was truly a heart-
warming sight. Sadly, when Bill died, Lert was so upset that she tried to stop Lorna from taking her away to bury her and
she made sad clucking noises. In fact, poor Lert was so heart-broken she refused to eat and she passed away four days later.
SERIOUS LOCK DOWN ADVICE
Submitted by Val Parmely
Everyone PLEASE be careful because people are going crazy from being locked down at home! I was just talking about this
with the microwave and the toaster while drinking my Pepsi, and we all agreed that things are getting bad. I didn’t mention
any of this to the washing machine, because she puts a different spin on EVERYTHING!! Certainly, couldn’t share with
the fridge, cause he’s been acting cold and distant! In the end, the iron straightened me out! She said the situation isn’t all
that pressing and all the wrinkles will soon get ironed out!
The vacuum, however, was very unsympathetic…told me to just suck it up! But the fan was VERY optimistic and gave me
hope that it will all blow over soon!
The toilet looked a bit flushed but didn’t say anything when I asked its opinion, but the front door said I was becoming
unhinged, and the doorknob told me to get a grip!! You can just about guess what the curtains told me: they told me to
“pull myself together!”
We will survive!! Gotta keep the humour!

Spotlight on Spotlight on Stephanie Whitelaw
by Heather Rapin
Stephanie Whitelaw was born at the Vancouver General Hospital. When she was
five, her family moved to Oshawa, Ontario where her father served as the Eastern
Ontario Sales Rep for General Motors. It was during this time that Stephanie fell
in love with ballet during her five years of lessons. Her parents made sure to take
her to see Swan Lake and she has attended many ballet performances since.
While working for General Motors, one of her dad’s responsibilities was to arrange
cars for celebrities, royalty and government officials. He met Prince Phillip and
Princess Elizabeth, President Nehru from India, and Winston Churchill, among
many others. Stephanie became a royal buff during this time and her father
was excited for her to meet Princess Alexandra and the Duchess of Kent. She
remembers getting dressed in her Brownie uniform and practicing the curtsy for
her visit with them. It was a short visit but the love of royalty stuck with her.
Recently, Stephanie flew the Union Jack to commemorate the passing of Prince
Phillip.
Her parents missed British Columbia and moved back to Vancouver, camping
across Canada on their return trip. The love of camping is still a passion for
Stephanie. Soon after their arrival, her dad became the general manager for the
PNE and under his watch, and because of his innovative ideas, the PNE had their

later.
Stephanie’s mother encouraged her daughter to audition for the Elgar Choir of British Columbia. Her mother had been a
member of this touring choir for many years. Stephanie had to learn fifty two pieces of music in a few months to qualify for
the European tour that performed in six countries in three months, partly financed by the Rotary Club International. Her
mother spent hours plucking out the second soprano parts of the songs and when the choir master just randomly chose
pieces of music for Stephanie to sing, she was able to do it. She boarded the train one day before her thirteenth birthday, the
beginning of a journey that took her on the Carinthia from the Cunard line, a British ship that landed in France one week
later at 1 a.m. and their first performance was six hours later, singing acapella in front of a cathedral audience.
Stephanie has enjoyed music through her life. She has a favourite memory of being asked to sing a solo at her Grade 12
graduation. She chose, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’ That song exemplifies Stephanie’s life. She is a mother of two children,
grandmother of two grandsons and great grandmother of two great granddaughters.
It’s not surprising that Stephanie chose a care giving profession. Following in her mother’s footsteps who was a registered
nurse trained at St. Paul’s Hospital, class of 1934, she trained as a Practical Nurse. She then married and had two children.
After her children started school, she took more courses and trained as a Care Aide. Stephanie worked in extended care for
ten years when all of the heavy lifting began to affect her shoulders. Believing that, “No matter how old you are, you can still
train,” she took a one year course from the University College of the Fraser Valley and finished her profession working as a
Nursing Unit Clerk for nine and a half years before retiring to Courtenay.
Like many of us, Stephanie’s parents helped shape who she would become. Her father started running at 67 and he became
a track and field athlete. He jumped his last hurdle at age 90. It was in this spirit, Stephanie signed up to hike the rugged
Chilkoot Trail (the Klondike Gold Rush trail) at age 57. She had no previous experience and trained for six months. It was
hard work, especially when she was falling behind the group one day and her leg went straight through the ice and snow.
She had to get herself out, and with determination, she did and proceeded to make it to the end of the trail. She once again
proved that she could set a goal and work to achieve it.
