WWI visits the L’Orignal Prison
Good meet, but not much to swap Next year’s WWI exhibition will focus on the home front with events such as the fire at Parliament, dealing with the Spanish Flu, the explosion inHalifax and women going to work. More information on the L’Orignal Prison and upcoming events is available at www. lorignalprison.com. learning experience,” said Dale Garuin, a volunteer at the prison. “There are so many things people don’t know anything about.” Some families have donated entire displays from family members that served in WWI, such as Private Conrad Dubois, who was drafted in 1917. Dubois kept a journal of his experiences, calling the war of mud and lice an ordeal. The Barton family also loaned the exhibit collectables from relatives that had served. The halls of the prison exhibit area are lined with makeshift trenches, created by Françoise and André Lussier. Volunteers from École secondaire publique Le Sommet, École secondaire catholique régionale de Hawkesbury (ESCRH), teachers and students have created some of the artwork for the retrospective. Students have created posters, and paintings, and teachers have created authentic tombstones and a banner of Flanders Fields. “The teachers were quite involved,” said Bédard. “Le Sommet’s shop teacher, Gilbert Paquette, created the tomb stones, and art teacher, NadineMalo-Lemire, created the banner.” The exhibition will run until December, with several other activities going on at the prison in the next fewmonths, including a very popular play entitled La Dernière Pendaison, a murder mystery evening, a comedy show, and a magic show.

for the exhibition were given to us by private families, the Legion, The SD&G Highlanders Regimental Museum, and Clarence/Rockland Museum,” said Bédard. “We started research inmid-March and found the Internet rich with information. We also found some information from Parliament.” Most of the memorabilia on display are from local families that had relatives that had gone to war; a father, uncle, or grandfather. Some of the items on display include photos, coins, buttons, discharge papers, hobnail boots, helmets, shell casings, newspapers, uniforms, medals, and letters. “It’s really a

An unbelievable amount of World War One (WWI), as well as a few World War Two (WWII)memorabilia will be on exhibit at the L’Orignal Prison. “There is only one replica,” said Louise Bédard, president of the board of directors for the prison. “Everything else is authentic.” Several families have lent or donated artefacts fromWWI andWWI for the exhibition, which opened June 1. “All of the things we have

A motorcycle and car parts swap meet was held June 6, the same day as the Trash and Treasure hunt in Vankleek Hill. While the sunny day brought a lot of visitors and good stories, there wasn’t much to swap for mechanic enthusiasts. “I was here last October for the swap and there was a lot more tables and vendors,” said Owen Elgin, a motorcycle fanatic fromBarrhaven. “I’m disappointed because I’m looking for parts for my old 1965 Harley. At least the beer was good and everyone was super friendly.” There were only a few tables beside the brewery with t-shirts and a bunch of car andmotorcycles parts. While the swapping was almost inexistent, visitors did make some contacts and got some advice to better their rides. (SL)
