The new aquatic playground is an extension of Lions Park on the grounds of the Davidson Centre, Kincardine’s community centre. The splash pad was a dream that became a reality this year, thanks to a community-wide fundraising effort led by the Kincardine and District Lions Club. So far, more than half a million dollars has been invested in the project, with contributions from the municipality, local businesses, private citizens and the Lions Club. The splash pad is free to use and is a great place to take a break and cool down after exploring some of Kincardine’s unique landmarks, points of interest, trails and shops. It is located on Durham Street, just a short drive or walk from Kincardine’s lakeside downtown. 519.396.5369 www.westshoreclothing.com OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK 519.396.5369 www.westshoreclothing.com OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK F<B?1<D;A<D;1?B4@A<?29<0.A6<; Gordon Pharmasave GREAT SELECTION OF GIFTWARE & FASHION nautical collection® set sail with this limited edition line .TYOLM 6LXPWPZY -LMd2TQ_^ 3ZXP/PNZ] ;]TY_^ 2TYRP]>YL[^ .ZaP]@[^ .]`T^PBPL] .L^`LW .WZ_STYR >NL]aP^ 3LYOMLR^ Check out the new nautical line @:.99:216B:9.?42 Where Smart Meets Stylish A_RZR[Q\b`cNYbR ^bNYVafN[QQR`VT[S\_ PUVYQ_R[\SNYYNTR` $#$>bRR[@a_RRa8V[PN_QV[R"& &# :\[@Na&NZ#]Z PLENTY OF FREE PARKING BEHIND THE STORE. 775 Queen Street, Kincardine 519-396-3434 Mon., Tues., Wed., Fri., Sat. 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; Thurs. 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sun. 11 a.m.-4 p.m. 3 #! Come home to Ripley this summer Time flies when you’re having fun. And nobody has more fun than people in Ripley. So while 2005 may seem just like yesterday, Ripley Reunion celebrations are ready to go this summer. The reunion committee has adopted the slogan “All Roads Lead Home,” and expects the population of Ripley to grow from 600 to more than 6,000. “It is just going to be a good time,” said Dwight Irwin, a member of the planning committee that started getting organized more than three years ago. “We welcome anybody who has any connection to Ripley, or anybody who just wants to come out and see what the fuss is all about. It is definitely going to a fun weekend.” A handful of events leading up to the reunion have already been held, like a kick-off dance at the launch of the 2015 Families and Farms history book. But the real fun begins in the final week of July. “We’re going to kick things off on Thursday (July 30) with the Ambassador pageant,” said Irwin, adding a teen dance will follow. The dances, beer gardens and the majority of other events will all take place in the area between the Ripley-Huron Community Complex and the base- ball diamonds. If you haven’t already purchased your tickets, you might be out of luck. They were being snatched up at a frantic pace, with the hottest selling item the $45 wristband, which gets you into the Friday and Saturday night dances, as well as the $5 cover charge for the Monday afternoon beer gardens, which will feature Left Turn Clyde. The Reunion Golf tournament will be played Friday at Ainsdale Golf Course, and Backwater Draw will provide the entertainment at the Friday night dance. After that, the weekend is jam-packed with events for everyone. A mammoth Reunion parade will kick off the festivities on Saturday. A BMX stunt team will entertain the kids on Saturday, while reunions will be held for Ripley School and the Ripley Wolves hockey team. The Shriners are hosting a Fish Fry, which will lead into the Saturday night dance featuring The Lulu’s Band. Sunday night’s dance will be preceded by a ham supper at the beer gardens. Specific times for various other events will be posted on the Ripley Reunion website. Some of those events include historical performances by HAWK live theatre group from Lucknow, various sporting events and tournaments, a beard growing contest and more. For a full schedule of events and more details, go online to www. ripleyreunion.ca. Held every 10 years, the mammoth event is completely organized by hundreds of volunteers who have worked to make this an amazing weekend. s SENIORS DAYn%VERY4HURSDAY n20% off2EG-ERCHANDISE s &ULL3ERVICE#OSMETIC$EPARTMENTWITH &REE-AKEOVERS&REE3KIN#ONSULTATIONS s &ULL,INEOF&RAGRANCESAND0RESTIGE#OSMETICS s Photo Lab s0ASSPORT0HOTOS s'ROCERIES)CEETC s&REE0RESCRIPTION$ELIVERY(call for details) s/N/$"0RESCRIPTIONSTHECOPAYISWAIVED s&REECOMPLIANCEPACKAGINGOFMEDICATION s&REEMEDICATIONREVIEWSANDCONSULTATIONS s&LUSHOTS s#ERTIlED$IABETIC%DUCATORAVAILABLE Corner of Hwy. 9 & 21, 781 Broadway Street, KINCARDINE 519-396-6220 /PENAMPMs$AYSA7EEK Your source for everyday needs. 4 2015 Tourist Guide This Guide is published annually by the Kincardine Independent.

The pipe band has decided to have a piper play from atop the Kincardine lighthouse at sunset (except Saturdays) to honour the memory of an early Kincardine piper, Donald Sinclair. The story has been passed along through the generations by word of mouth. THE LEGEND OF DONALD SINCLAIR Back in 1856, on a cold, October day, a small vessel left the Port of Goderich carrying a family from the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It was the final leg of a journey for the immigrant family which intended to farm at Penetangore (now Kincardine). The weather was cloudy with a light breeze out of the southwest when the vessel left Goderich, goes the story. But as the boat approached Point Clark, the sky turned black and a cold wind started to blow out of the west, making for heavier and heavier seas. As the vessel slowly beat its way north, late afternoon turned to dusk and the captain feared he would not find Penetangore in the dark. (continued on page 23) 22 Kincardine celebrates 2nd annual Marine Heritage Days Kincardine has a truly fascinating and rich marine heritage that dates back more than 150 years. Unlike many Ontario towns, Kincardine’s first settlers arrived aboard the ships that were starting to ply Lake Huron. The Kincardine harbour was an integral part of the area’s economy, moving people and local products (such as lumber and salt) and supporting a thriving fishing industry that continues to this day. At the turn of the 20th century, the heroics of local seamen and fishermen led to the establishment of a lifesaving service run by a volunteer crew. This service saved many a life when ships ran into trouble during fierce storms along the shores of Lake Huron. Kincardine’s marine history will be celebrated during the 2nd annual Marine Heritage Days festival Aug. 21 and 22. The festivities will begin with the arrival of Toronto Brigantine Tall Ships Playfair and Pathfinder on Aug. 21. Join locals on the pier to greet these majestic ships and later enjoy a sunset cruise. On Saturday, the harbour will be a bustle of activity, with tours of the Tall Ships, a children’s activity zone and artist alley. The historic Paddy Walker House will feature special marine heritage exhibits, including photos and artifacts related to Kincardine’s early lifesaving service. The Lighthouse will also be open for tours. For more information about Marine Heritage Days activities, visit the Kincardine Visitors Centre, the Kincardine Tourism Facebook page or email [email protected]. Legend of the Phantom Piper (continued from page 22) Donald Sinclair, fearing for his family, went down into the hold and fetched his pipes. He prayed for safe passage and then played a lament. The sound of the pipes carried across the water to Penetangore where another piper heard the rich sound. The settler on shore retrieved his pipes and played another lament in return, just as the sky suddenly cleared in the west and the sun set beneath the cold waters. Tour Kincardine’s gardens Enter ‘Through the Garden Gate’ on the Kincardine and District Horticultural Society’s annual garden tour. This year’s tour will be held Sunday, July 12. Wander through stunning private gardens with unique designs and a variety of plant life. Explore the gardens to enjoy their natural beauty or to get ideas for your own garden space. The tour runs throughout the afternoon, rain or shine, with refreshments at the Walker House to follow. Tickets are $12 in advance at Jerome Flowers and Quinn Florist or $15 on tour day The captain, knowing he had to be near Penetangore, headed for the drone of the bagpipes and eventually made his way into the harbour. For many years after the narrow escape, Donald Sinclair often went down to the harbour to play the pipes at dusk. They say it was a way to remember his good fortune and to remind others of the power of the pipes.

Whenever the waves swell in the waters of Lake Huron, surfers can be spotted by the dozen at Station Beach in Kincardine. Over the past few years, Kincardine has quickly become a surfing hot spot, and is now considered to be one of the best surfing spots in all of Canada. On the right day, of course. The best surfing is usually in the spring and fall, with the West Shore Billabong Freshwater Classic surfing competition taking place in September the past two years. When Mother Nature co-operates, surfers are lucky if they can get 40 days of surfing in each year. And it isn’t just locals who are riding the waves. Most surfers are more than willing to travel to find the right conditions. The fact that Station Beach is easily accessible and equipped with bathrooms and showers has made Kincardine a popular destination. "Bruidhinn Gaidhlig rium" 16 Surfers enjoy the conditions at Station Beach in Kincardine. A recent study indicated Lake Huron has the best surfing conditions in Ontario, and 70 per cent of surfers ranked Kincardine as their preferred destination, based on swell size, wave consistency, water temperature and beach accessibility. Strong northwest winds can create some great waves, head high and over head high, and the pier allows surfers easier access to the waves. You can see the surfers walk to the end of the south pier and jump in the water instead of paddling out. The fact that the water drops off from shallow to deep very quickly creates a little more power in the waves off Kincardine.

The incredibly popular event set for July 11 sold out on New Year’s Day. The race includes a 375m swim in Lake Huron, a 12-km bike ride and a 3-km run that begins, and ends at the Kincardine Harbour. Last year, the sun was shining and Lake Huron was calm for 231 athletes who entered the sprint triathlon. Another 113 women competed in the duathlon, which is a 3-km run followed by a 12-km bike ride and another 3 km run. Debbie Val finished the triathlon first, winning with a time of 44:14. She was followed by Glenna Fraumeni of Toronto, and a local girl, Sophie Hotchkiss of Kincardine. Waterloo’s Jennifer Roy won the duathlon with a time of 52:56. A Kincardine team won the triathlon relay - Lauren Andrews, Roxanne Andrews and Heidi Martin beat 14 other teams to finish in 47:19. The Kincardine race is popular with athletes for a number of reasons. Organizers have learned what works over the years, and have adapted and made minor tweaks each year, and the course is a beautiful one along the shore of Lake Huron. Finally, the support of Kincardine residents is unmatched. Last year, one racer blew a tire and finished the race on the bicycle of a local who was cheering the racers on.

Kincardine opens its doors for heritage tour Doors Open Kincardine is returning this year and will take place May 23 and 24. Having moved to a biennial format following the 2013 event, Doors Open will include some new sites, along with some popular repeats, and a team of refreshed volunteers ready to make this event as successful as the previous. Launched in 2002 by the Ontario Heritage Trust, Doors Open Ontario is host to many province-wide events, and communities invite you to discover the hidden treasures of their sites – some of which have never before been open to the public. Kincardine’s doors will be open to various sites throughout the municipality, including, but not limited to, local heritage homes, buildings of interest such as the Bruce Power Visitors’ Centre and Bruce Telecom headquarters in Tiverton. The tour will also feature area favourites and regular participants of the event, including the Kincardine Lighthouse and Paddy Walker House, which will once again act as event headquarters for the weekend. This free event runs Saturday, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday, May 24 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. There is something for everyone, young and old, of varying interests.

The garden, located at the end of Park Street, is the first public botanical garden of its kind in Canada dedicated entirely to heirloom, rare, very rare, endangered, and world food plants. A horticultural enthusiast’s dream, in the 2015 season these gardens will feature more than 330 seeded varieties of heirloom edible flowers, vegetables and herbs. The Bruce Botanical Food Gardens has even developed its own apple, the Ripley Apple, which is now in production and available for purchase. Wander through the maze of garden beds filled with brightlycoloured flowers, endless varieties of vegetables, herbs and even teas. Learn gardening tips and the sometimes wild history of the food plants from on-site volunteers. During the summer months, visitors can come and enjoy the Living Market at the gardens daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Stroll through the pathways of this ‘open air market’ and select fresh produce right off the plant and take a self guided tour. Volunteers will pick for you if you wish! Bring your own bags to carry your produce home. The mission of the Bruce Botanical Food Gardens is more than a unique visitor attraction. Its goal is to address issues around food insecurity and sustainable lifestyle. Everything planted in the gardens is edible in some manner.

Following the parade, people gather in the park to listen to the band, renew old friendships and make some new ones. The Kincardine Scottish boast the longest record of unbroken service in Ontario.

Some of Lake Huron’s history can be found just a few steps into the water. In the spring of 1999, the remains of a sailing vessel that sank off Kincardine on Oct. 7, 1902, could be clearly seen close to shore. Back in July of 1978, the lake uncovered some of the cargo that the Ann Maria was carrying when it sank - large blocks of coal. On the night she sank, a hard breeze was blowing from the west and northwest. The captain was reportedly driving his ship hard to get to port before the gale headed him off. His vessel opened up under the hard driving seas and the water was gaining on the pumps. Her cargo of coal would drag her down once the water had overcome the small reserve flotation of her 12 inches of freeboard. As she approached Kincardine, the Ann Maria staggered and missed the entrance to the harbour. She came rolling in on the beach, struck heavily a few hundred yards from shore and started to break up. In the rescue attempt, the captain, the cook, a sailor and a rescuer died. The battered boat was swept shorewards and tossed up on the beach. When the lake is low on a clear day, you can see the remains of the Ann Maria from the shore, just south of the harbour entrance.

Born in 1834, Secord was a great-nephew of the Canadian heroine Laura Secord. He arrived in Kincardine shortly after his graduation from medical school. He headed for Georgia just before the Civil War and was almost hanged because he had the courage to speak out against slavery. Despite his beliefs, he ended up enlisting in the Confederate Army as a doctor. Although he died a century ago, Secord remains a subject of interest to historians. U.S. Civil War history buff Les Buell of New York State seems to be a regular visitor to Kincardine’s Walker House as he continues his research on Secord. Buell addressed the Civil War Surgeons’ conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee in March of 2009. One of his subjects was Secord. On July 1, 1994, the Donaldson Artillery of American Civil War Historical ReEnactment Society laid a wreath at the Secord Memorial and followed that with a musket volley. Following the Civil War, Secord returned to Kincardine where he became a first-rate surgeon and diagnostician. He was a good doctor and a lovable character; the people of the area refused to forget him when he died in 1910. A fund was set up and a few months later, a memorial with a sundial was erected near the Kincardine library on Queen Street. Dr. Secord is buried in the Kincardine Cemetery.

This year, it is set for Aug. 18 at the lighthouse. The Point Clark Lighthouse has received a facelift and will be open to visitors this summer. The national historic landmark has been closed since 2010 by Parks Canada to allow for restoration work on the lighthouse tower and turret. The lighthouse was built during the 1850s and played a vital role in navigation on Lake Huron. It served to warn sailors of a shoal located three kilometres off the shoreline of Point Clark. The limestone tower is 87 feet tall and topped with a 12-sided lantern. The lightkeeper’s house has been converted into a museum, which is operated by the Township of Huron-Kinloss throughout the summer, from June to Labour Day. In 2009, the Point Clark Lighthouse was selected by Canada Post as one of six across the country to be featured on a postage stamp. The lighthouse is located on Lighthouse Road off Huron Road in Point Clark. MAKE YOUR NEXT NIGHT OUT SUITABLE FOR FRAMING. You’ll always remember a great night out at OLG Slots at Hanover Raceway.
