Together they fostered and rescued four Newfoundlands, welcoming each into their hearts and homes. On December 28, 2013, Kenneth Myers, 72, passed away. On the day of his burial, standing outside Pierce Funeral Home in Manassas, VA were nine Newfoundlands and their owners. As mourners exited a very crowded ceremony, these majestic creatures lined the walkway. The family, overwhelmed with emotion and pride, watched as the Newfoundlands stood at perfect attention. Later at the burial, these Gentle Giants (as Ken frequently referred to them), sat quietly in the distance as Ken was laid to rest; a majestic farewell for an amazing man. The family would like to thank all those who made donations to the Colonial Newfoundland Club in lieu of flowers and in memory of Ken. Over $1500 has been collected thus far. This money and recognition will go a long way in assisting the many Newfoundlands in our area. Special thanks to the owners and their pets who graciously attended the service: Donna McConn with Chance Delma & Donald Taylor with Trevor Tracy Guthery with Totoro Hilary Hyland with Ethie Dave Rothschild & Alex Early with Thunder & Titan Kathy Hamilton with Lucy Rose Miller with Brucie Sandra & David Tancreti with Chloe ! !

I might not be able to say I support you, but my eyes speak volumes. I might not have a shoulder to cry on, but I have fur you can use to wipe away your tears. I might not have two arms to hold you but I’ll stand by your side just the same. I promise to try my best to make you laugh, even when you feel like crying. With a love that is unconditional, and loyalty everlasting. Your Dog --written by Cherly Goede -contributed by Heather Myers A VERY SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO KEN MYERS CNC Rescue has received many generous donations and heartfelt comments in memory of Ken Myers but this one is extra special. We have received permission from the writer to publish it here: My name is Kenny Myers and my grandfather was Kenneth Ardell Myers Sr. and I know how much he loved his dogs and that is why I would like to donate the $15 I earned to the Newfoundland Foundation because I know my grandfather would have done the same thing and when I get older I will be taking his place in serving the country with the dignity and respect just as he did. Respectfully, Kenny Myers Contributions to CNC Rescue may still be made in memory and in honor of Ken CNC#Bear#Fare###############################Issue#105##############################Mid8Winter##2014# # 3 CNC Member of the Year! CNC Member of the Year Award by Rosemary Miller As outgoing president, I’d like to take a few minutes to honor our member of the year – Cindy Flowers. There is so much to say about Cindy…she has given so much to Colonial Newfoundland Club in so many ways. From designing artwork and fund-raising for the National; to multiple jobs in multiple water tests; to Middleburg Specialty Chair and chairing our supported entries and regionals for year…Cindy is there for the club. Her grooming seminars are legendary, as are her individual grooming lessons – and every penny earned goes to Newfie rescue. She’s been there for so many of us – myself included. Cindy is always there for the Newfies. As an AKC Breeder of Merit and even more importantly, the strongest of proponents for breeding healthy, happy, true to type Newfoundlands that excel in both the show and performance arenas. As a teacher, she’s helped so many of us by giving a Water Rescue Seminar, show trimming, tips on handling in the ring, evaluation of puppies, breeding advice… While so much more can be said, what needs to be said is a heartfelt THANK YOU CINDY from Colonial Newfoundland Club!! Cindy…grandmother…breeder…registration chair at national…steward…chair…secretary for so many working events…sweeps judge at national…and good friend to all! CNC#Bear#Fare###############################Issue#105##############################Mid8Winter##2014# # 4 Williamsburg Christmas Parade 2013 Of Christmas Parades and Annual Meetings Aka “The Diaries of Lady Calza” One of my favorite events that the CNC attends is the annual Williamsburg Christmas Parade. It is usually held the first Saturday in December, and judging by attendance, seems to be one of the most popular CNC events! After the parade, the CNC Annual Meeting is usually held at the Club’s host hotel. A few changes were made this year, primarily to the host hotel and the food at the meeting; prizes were also given for best costume and best-decorated cart. This year, the host hotel was the LaQuinta. I must say that this venue was MUCH nicer than the Days Inn we have stayed at in the past. This year we had a large crew of Newfs and their handlers in the parade. There was a winter storm approaching that day but fortunately, the cold rain held off for the length of the parade. It was touch and go there for a few minutes! Both the carts AND participants were well dressed, and as always, our dogs were very popular with the crowd. There were a lot of pictures taken during and after the parade; some appear with this article, while others appear on the Club’s Rescue page on Facebook. The Annual Luncheon and Meeting went very well. The La Quinta eating and meeting areas comfortably handled the 50 people who were in attendance. The meeting was a jovial affair with lots of awards and many Power Point presentations. As usual, there was a Brown Bag Raffle and a great deal of Newfoundland dog related merchandise for sale. This is such a great event on which to end our “Newf” year, and I would personally like to thank the people who made this special event possible!! -Article and Williamsburg pictures submitted by Brad Cole CNC#Bear#Fare###############################Issue#105##############################Mid8Winter##2014# # 5 Williamsburg Christmas Parade 2013 – cont’d CNC#Bear#Fare###############################Issue#105##############################Mid8Winter##2014# # 6 Williamsburg Christmas Parade 2013 – cont’d CNC#Bear#Fare###############################Issue#105##############################Mid8Winter##2014# # 7 Williamsburg Christmas Parade 2013 – cont’d CNC#Bear#Fare###############################Issue#105##############################Mid8Winter##2014# # 8 Williamsburg Christmas Parade 2013 – cont’d CNC#Bear#Fare###############################Issue#105##############################Mid8Winter##2014# # 9 CNC Pancake Breakfast and Newf Hike The CNC Pancake Breakfast and Newf Hike at Oregon Ridge Park ****Attention those getting ready for the Draft tests at the National, this is an excellent training opportunity!! Date: March 1st, Rain/Snow date of March 2. Location: 13401 Beaver Dam Rd., Cockeysville, MD Meeting Place: bottom of the parking lot at the Lodge Meet Time: 9:30 am - at 10 am we will head into the lodge to consume our pancakes, sausage and the Maple Syrup that comes from the trees in the park. *** Dogs are not permitted inside the lodge Hike time: approx. 11:00-11:30 we will round up back in the parking lot to head out on our hike. This is a casual event for you, your family and your Newf. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Puppies are welcome but please be advised-- this is a 2+ mile hike and depending on age it may not be in their best interest to complete the entire route. Accommodations can be made if you want to bring your pup but not take them on the hike. This is an excellent socialization activity that would be a shame to miss. ***Those getting ready for Draft Tests are welcome to bring their carts as most of the trails will accommodate them and the park has every terrain available including a beach. If you are carting, please give yourself extra time for assembly.

The number of members who graciously volunteered to share their wonderful dogs was tremendous. However, there was only room for one Newf team, and after a last minute cancellation, Jules Gable and her dogs from Virginia Beach represented both our club and breed. “I’ll always be grateful to her for saving us at the last minute, which she did so very graciously. And what lovely dogs Blue and Sammi are! The residents were absolutely thrilled to meet them. In addition to her major contributions, Julia and Gabor took great photos of the other dogs and made them available to us. Thank you again for your significant role in making our Pet Parade such a success!” Kay – Greenspring Retirement Village Thank you to everyone who volunteered to participate in this event. The coordinator was very impressed and overwhelmed at the number of people who offered to take part in their program. I would especially like to thank Jules and Gabor for sharing their beloved Newfoundlands, Blue and Sammi with the residents! -Alice Harwell – Publicity Committee Chair CNC#Bear#Fare###############################Issue#105##############################Mid8Winter##2014# # 14 CNC BOARD OF CNC BOD MEETING DIRECTORS NOVEMBER 20, 2013 MEETING TELECONFERENCE Meeting called to order @ 7:30 p.m. Present: Kathy Paxton, Andrea Westerfield, Chuck Basham, Dotty Hudson, Rose Miller, Judy Van Dyke, Dru Kappe, Don Sharkey (National Site Chair), and Julia Sharkey (Working Dog Chair), Donna McConn (Rescue) Minutes accepted from October’s meeting.

In the distance he saw a young man picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. As the old man approached the young man, he asked, "Why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waste of time?" The young man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun. The old man exclaimed, "But there must be thousands of starfish. How can your efforts make any difference?" The young man looked down at the starfish in his hand and as he threw it to safety in the sea, he said," It makes a difference to this one!"

While in the White House, each died of unknown causes. When Jesse, Grant’s son, voiced fears that his treasured Newfoundland was fated to go the same way, the president summoned the White House steward. "Father asked no questions, made no accusations,” Jesse wrote later and Grant ended the matter with a simple political promise: "Jesse has a new dog. You may have noticed that his former pets have been particularly unfortunate. When this dog dies, every employee in the White House will be at once discharged.' The Newfoundland, named Faithful, enjoyed superb health throughout Grant's tenure in the White House, according the 1979 book entitled White House Pets by Margaret Truman.
