George Elliott Inductees -1998, Visual Arts With a lifelong love of painting and sketching, George Elliott is one of those rare individuals who actually pursued his dream.

Following 28 years as graphic artist with Outboard Marine Corporation, George opened his own studio and Peterborough has been the richer for it.

Catharine Parr Traill Inductees -1998, Literary (1802-1899) No historical figure more romantically personifies the pioneer spirit of a young and growing Canada than does Catherine Parr-Traill.

Emigrating to Canada in 1832, Catherine lived in Lakefield, the Rice Lake area and, finally, in Peterborough until her death. During her 69 years in the Kawarthas, she balanced eking out life in the Canadian wilderness with a prolific writing career. Her books are often referred to as complete studies in Canadian pioneer life, including the now classics ‘The Backwoods of Canada’, ‘The Female Emigrant’s Guide’ and ‘Plant Life in Canada’.

With the publication of her last book, ‘Pearls and Pebbles’ in 1894, she was held in esteem as the oldest living author in the British Empire. Doug Sadler Inductees -1998, Literary Douglas Sadler was born in London, England in 1916. He served in the 7th Armoured Division (Desert Rats) during World War II and with the Queen’s Royal Regiment in Holland. He spent six months imprisoned in Oflag 79, Germany.

It was during the World War II that Sadler met his future wife, Joan, in England. They were married in 1942. After the War, he served as a Captain in the Army and one of his tours took him to Singapore in 1947.

He came to Canada in 1950 to work on Governor-General Vincent Massey’s farm near Port Hope, Ontario and later worked for the Port Hope Evening Guide in advertising. This was the beginning of his newspaper career which ultimately led him to the Peterborough Examiner and the City of Peterborough in 1953. Part of his work at the Examiner included writing his now famous outdoor column, “Come Quietly With Me,” which he has now written for more than 30 years.

Douglas has written close to 1500 columns on every conceivable aspect of the environment. Late in his life, Douglas decided to return to school. He attended the old Peterborough Teacher’s College, and upon graduation, began teaching with the Northumberland Board of Education. He later became the vice-principal of Warkworth School in 1969 and worked there for twelve years before taking a job as an outdoor education consultant.

He then moved to the Peterborough County Board of Education. When the outdoor education program was cancelled in 1975, Douglas continued teaching at the Bailieboro School. At about the same time, Douglas became a member of the Peterborough Field Naturalists. After two years, he joined the Ontario Federation of Field Naturalists were he was a member for sixteen years, two of which were spent as the Federation’s president. Douglas has won the Frank Kortright Award twice and is an honorary life member of the Peterborough Field Naturalists.

He earned a degree in geography in 1978 from Trent University and, in 1988, he was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from the same university. In 1987 he authored the book “Reading Natures Clues”.

Margaret Laurence Inductees -1998, Literary (1926-1987) Major figure in Canadian literature, Margaret Laurence is admired for brilliant novels such as ‘The Stone Angel’, ‘The Diviners’ and ‘Jest of God’. An opportunity to serve as ‘writer in residence’ at Trent University in mid-seventies led to a love affair with the Kawartha. Margaret settled in Lakefield, serving as chancellor of Trent University from 1981 to 1983. Always embracing the concepts of humanitarianism and self-examination, Margaret’s books have been translated into dozens of languages and remain bestsellers around the world. In recognition of her immense contribution to nuclear disarmament, as environmentalist, peace activist and an active member of Canadian culture, Margaret Laurence received honourary degrees from 12 universities.

She’s named Fellow of Royal Society of Canada and made Companion of the Order of Canada. Elwood Jones Inductees -1998, Literary If it can be said, Peterborough history and heritage has a hero, that hero would be Elwood Jones. This Trent University professor has consistently championed the cause of local history since arriving in the city in 1969. Over the past 30 years, Elwood has written major works on many aspects of Peterborough’s heritage, including the city’s history, the Peterborough Agricultural Society, St.

Leahy Inductees -1998, Entertainment/Musical Performing as a family troupe, it only took Leahy a mere 20 years to become an overnight sensation in Pop Music. Growing up on a farm near Lakefield, the group (presently made up of five brothers and four sisters) learned their unique blend of Celtic, Folk and Pop Music (with more than a dash of step-dancing) from their parents. Frank Leahy led a fiddle band for 25 years and Julie Leahy was a champion step-dancer. Their home didn’t have television, so the children learned to entertain each other with music and dancing. That early grounding would prove invaluable.

‘Leahy’ won two Juno’s in 1998, as ‘Best New Group’ and ‘Instrumental Group’ of the year. The Juno Award onslaught would continue in 1999. From humble family beginnings, Leahy became one of the most in-demand acts in the world of Popular Music. Bobby Kinsman Inductees -1998, Entertainment/Musical One of the best known and most loved figures on Peterborough’s music scene.

Returning to Peterborough, he assembled a tight-knit big band that played to packed houses ever night at Club Aragon (now Trentwinds). Many of his Saturday night performances were broadcast ‘live’ across Canada on the old CBC Blue Network. Popularity of Big Band era began to wane as musical tastes changed.

But Bobby Kinsman’s Big Band popularity never waned. His group continued to perform at dances, concerts, and venues such as the Festival of Lights, as Bobby Kinsman kept the sound of the Big Band alive. Colleen Peterson Inductees -1998, Entertainment/Musical (1950-1996) Peterborough born, country music singer/songwriter, Colleen Peterson, had one of the purest voices ever recorded in Canadian history. She was a two time Juno winner and her songs were heard constantly on country radio in Canada. CBC supported her career and hopefully they will always bring her music to the airwaves. During Colleen’s colorful career she recorded three albums with Capitol Records, Canada, but none of these recordings are available now as the record label ceased to manufacture her work.

Many of these songs can be found on Colleen’s My Space page and this is the only known site to hear these great songs. She also recorded her own CD in the early 90’s called “What Comes Around Goes Around” but again there is no further manufacturing on this product. She released one album for the indie company Bookshop. Colleen recorded three CDs with Quartette during the early 90’s and they can be ordered through their website.

Donald Munro Inductees -1998, Cultural Betterment (1868-1957) In the early part of this century, no one was more important to a community than a family doctor.

Doctor Donald Munro met all medical requirements in the village of Warsaw and area, adding much more to the vitality of the community. Munro opened his Warsaw practice in 1907. A time when house calls were the norm, he braved all kinds of weather to attend more than 3,000 births over a 50 year period. Reaching out to the heart of the community, Dr. Munro served as Church Elder and Sunday School Superintendent at St. Andrew’s Church for over 25 years.

Eldon Stewart “Stu” McCue Inductees -1998, Entertainment/Musical Country Music fans in Peterborough area know Stu McCue as a topnotch entertainer; what many don’t know is his diversified talent. A professional musician for over 30 years, Stu shared stages with many Country legends.

However he is equally talented as a landscape painter and teacher. To better share a love of his heritage, Stu became a Certified Instructor of Native Languages and Culture in 1977. Stu McCue is perhaps best known for his boundless generosity towards others. For years, he’s performed at local seniors’ residences and nursing homes on a weekly basis.

His talent as both vocalist and writer formed the basis for a solid recording career.

As well, Jack’s natural affinity for people made him a welcome guest on stage, in clubs and on television across Canada and many parts of the United States. Always one to be there when help was needed; Jack gave generously of his time and talent to support a variety of local causes, most notably, the M.S.

Society, Easter Seals Campaign and area hospitals. His untimely death from a heart attack at age 49, places Jack Bailey in a category of ‘Done too soon’ with so much more he could have given.

As singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer, and recording artist, Kent never missed an opportunity to perform in the Peterborough area and spread his gospel of traditional country music. His vast knowledge of ‘Country’ roots made him a master at whose knee many aspiring performers would learn.

One of his most devoted fans is legendary Stompin’ Tom Connors. On many occasions, Kent and Tom performed together, recorded together and wrote songs together.

Ridell (Del) Crary Inductees -1998, Cultural Betterment (1919-1978) Del Crary’s life can be divided in two halves: first half as Peterborough’s most famous musician; second half as Peterborough’s most famous broadcaster. A talented saxophonist and arranger, Del, at age 12, joined his first band. During World War II, Del worked with Canadian Army bands, entertaining troops overseas. On returning to Peterborough, he led his own band or played with such Peterborough stalwarts as Bobby Kinsman and Jimmy Duffus. In 1947, Del joined CHEX Radio, becoming the region’s most famous ‘morning man’.

He worked with CKPT, then with CKQM until his 1978 death. A 30 year broadcasting career made Del Crary a legend.

Stan McBride Inductees -1998, Cultural Betterment (1919-2005) In the history of Peterborough, no one more personifies the term ‘community service’ than does Stan McBride. Nearly all his adult life, he gave unselfishly of his time, energy and talents on behalf of almost every worthwhile community cause that came along. In his early days, area residents cheered on his athletic abilities and, later, he served his city as alderman, mayor and sheriff.

On a more casual basis, Stan was a much-sought-after emcee, toastmaster and humourist, plus a willing volunteer for numerous boards and committees. For over 50 years, Stan McBride demonstrated that volunteerism, with a smile, is the key to a better community. White Bear (Norman Knott) Inductees -1999, Visual Arts The richness of cultural life in Peterborough and Kawarthas is due, in no small part, to the contribution of First Nations people who live and create here. A lifelong resident of Curve Lake, Norman Knott’s artistry, whether in acrylics, oil or watercolours, gained him a reputation around the world.

Drawing on closeness to nature and his Ojibway heritage, Norman developed a powerful and unique style of painting by interweaving contemporary realism with traditional Ojibway symbolism. The works of Norman Knott can be enjoyed in galleries across North America and Europe and grace private collections of notables ranging from Queen Elizabeth to Pierre Elliott Trudeau to Johnny Cash. Douglas Landry Inductees -1999, Visual Arts The editorial cartoon is a truly unique art form requiring very special talent. Doug Landry has demonstrated that special talent for over 50 years in the Peterborough area. He sold his first cartoon to Robertson Davies at Peterborough Examiner, 1950, and has churned out a steady stream for area publications ever since. Doug estimates he’s done several thousand quick sketches at fairs and community events.

In fact, special editions of his cartoons and caricatures are now becoming collector items. Over years, Doug branched out into commercial art and design, and landscape painting. However, it’s the quick sketches, caricatures and cartoons that remain his first love. Christopher MacGee Inductees -1999, Visual Arts (1951-1997) During his short life, Chris MacGee made profound contributions to the Peterborough arts community, both in administration and as a remarkable creative artist in his own right.

Along the way, her teaching skills and creative enthusiasms have been an inspiration for countless theatre devotees. Robertson Davies Inductees -1999, Literary (1913-1995) One of Canada’s most imposing figures, Robertson Davies was a prolific writer of prose, drama, opera, literary criticism and journalism. For his ‘Deptford Trilogy’, he won two Governor General’s Awards for Literature.

From 1942 to 1963, he served as publisher and editor of Peterborough Examiner. While living in Peterborough, he contributed significantly to the city’s cultural growth.

He was a driving force behind the creation of Peterborough Little Theatre group, Peterborough Summer Theatre and formation of Coventry Singers. Robert Kenneth Armstrong Inductees -1999, Literary Every community has volunteers, but only Peterborough is lucky enough to have Ken Armstrong. As volunteer broadcaster with Cable 10, Ken moderates three open-line shows dealing with three levels of government.

He’s chaired numerous committees including the Evinrude Centre fundraising committee and presently chairs committees on Peterborough’s 150th Anniversary celebration and millennium celebrations. In recognizing his outstanding efforts, Ken received the Community Service Award, Citizen of the Year Award and, in June 1998, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario awarded Ken Armstrong the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship for his remarkable contribution to the wellbeing of the Peterborough community. Wallis Inductees -1999, Visual Arts (1860-1957) Katherine Wallis was one of the earliest and most influential visual artists to come from the Peterborough area.

She’s also an influential supporter of Peterborough’s Women’s Art Association and the establishment of Art Gallery of Peterborough. Agnes Logan Green Inductees -1999, Entertainment/Musical The impact made by Agnes Logan Green on the appreciation of fine music is multi-faceted. But what else could be expected from such a multi-faceted talent? As a youngster, her talents bordered on that of child prodigy, beginning on the piano at age four, giving recitals at age 12, sweeping music competitions and studying in England by her teen years.

Agnes forsook a concert career for life and love in Peterborough. She often performed locally and spent years teaching music. As one of the original Peterborough Concert Committee members, she brought luminaries such as Glenn Gould to the city.

During ’50’s, Agnes performed a classical concert series on CHEX Radio.

Always willing to lend a helping hand, Bill and The Country Playboys were generous with their time to assist local causes and entertain seniors and hospital patients. Edwards Inductees -1999, Cultural Betterment In the music business, the promoter is the individual who makes the show or concert happen.

Through quiet determination, integrity and ingenuity, Peterborough’s Brian Edwards has become one of Canada’s most respected and admired promoters. While still a student at Kenner Collegiate, Brian began promoting shows, dances and contests. He quickly became the youngest person ever (17 years old) to be granted a North America professional booking license. Personal trust and dependability made Brian the exclusive Canadian agent for legendary Kitty Wells and Wilf Carter and led to strong working relationships with stars such as George Jones, Roger Whittaker and Anne Murray. Today, Brian provides exclusive management for superstars Tommy Hunter, Frank Mills and Stompin’ Tom Connors. Stubbornly continuing to be based out of his Peterborough home, Brian Edwards quietly gained a worldwide reputation and has made an indelible mark on Canadian Country Music.

Everett Percival (Bing) Doughty Inductees -1999, Entertainment/Musical (1917-1998) Bing Doughty’s life stands as testament to his belief that music and friendship go hand in hand.

If you loved old time country music, you were Bing’s friend, and he yours. A true devotee of traditional Country Music, Bing Doughty was a familiar and welcome performer at all area fairs and jamborees. Although born and raised in the Peterborough area, he spent lots of time in Coe Hill and thus his signature tune, ‘The Coe Hill Cannonball’.

Under his guidance, The Festival of Lights has become a unique event in Canada, featuring some of the top names in Canadian Music and North America’s first synchronized illuminated boat show. The Festival attracts over 100,000 visitors, from around the world, to Del Crary Park, making The Festival the #1 tourist draw in the Kawarthas.

D’Arcy Strickland Inductees -1999, Cultural Betterment The Northwest Mounted Police was formed in 1873 as a federal police force to maintain law and order in remote areas of Canada where provincial and municipal policing wasn’t sufficient. Id3 Editor Mac Serial Cracks more. The Mounties were essential in maintaining Canadian boundaries and, in turn, protecting Canadian culture and identity.

Two local residents played significant roles in the evolution of Canada’s national police force. Inspector D’Arcy STRICKLAND of The Northwest Mounted Police helped define the Canadian frontier in the Yukon Gold Rush of 1897-1898 and later served as Adjutant to the Fifth Mounted Rifles during the Boer War.

He also became a ‘charter’ member of The Royal Northwest Mounted Police when it was established in 1904. Katherine Hooke Inductees -1999, Cultural Betterment It would seem that Katherine HOOKE comes by her affinity for Peterborough and area history quite naturally since her family was one of the first to settle in this region. Despite a difference in spelling, she was, in fact, named for one of the best known pioneers, Catherine Parr Traill, and ably continues the tradition of documenting, in human terms, our culture and heritage. For years, Katherine was a tireless worker with local historical groups and lectured extensively on historical and cultural subjects. She demonstrated her writing talents, authoring numerous books and booklets, bringing to life the beginnings and growth of our Kawartha heritage.

Katherine’s best known work is an illuminating volume on the history of Stony Lake’s landmark church, St. Peter’s on the Rock. McCarrell Inductees -1999, Cultural Betterment (1918-1977) Hardworking and deeply religious, Lloyd McCarrell made the area a better place by putting his beliefs in the dignity of human life into practice. Lloyd, a North Monaghan farmer, unselfishly opened his home and heart to those less fortunate. Especially at Christmas or anytime a meal or place to stay was needed.

Lloyd’s farmhouse became a haven for the homeless and down-and-out. That farmhouse, by the way, was already home to Lloyd, his wife and their 14 children. The McCarrell home also served as a gathering place for local musicians and musical friends, such as Kent Brockwell and Stompin’ Tom Connors to come to play and create music. Lloyd McCarrell personified the best in human spirit by giving of himself to provide others with the four basics of life: food, warmth, love and music.

Lois Harte-Maxwell Inductees -1999, Cultural Betterment Lois Harte-Maxwell is living proof, with hard work and dedication, the only insurmountable impediments in life are not physical but of the human spirit. Despite her own difficulties with physical mobility, Lois tirelessly supported and, in some cases, was a pioneer in creating community awareness in Peterborough for those with any form of disability. She’s served several terms on City Council and sat on a number of committees dealing with accessibility issues for those with disabilities.

More than any other individual, Lois Harte-Maxwell was instrumental in making City Hall physically accessible to all citizens of Peterborough. Margaret MacKelvie Inductees -1999, Cultural Betterment (1930 -1999) Margaret MacKelvie, teacher and community activist, is a woman with deep and abiding love for the magic of ‘living history’.

Over years, she arranged ‘special days’ at Lang as well as creating publications concerning Lang. As evidence of her true devotion, Margaret served as volunteer curator from 1967 to 1995.

For her efforts, Margaret MacKelvie was awarded Canada Commemorative Medal, an Outstanding Achievement Award from Ontario Museum Association and a honourary doctorate from Trent University. Red Moncrief Inductees -1999, Entertainment/Musical (1894 – 1952) Red Moncrief, born in South Monaghan, learned to play violin and piano as a child. As a young man, Red combined farming and music, gaining popularity performing at local house parties and barn-dances.

During the days when there were few records and electricity wasn’t readily available outside the city, weekly dances were a top source of entertainment. Red decided to form a dance band; ‘Red Moncrief and the Haymakers’.

The band stayed together for 22 years, garnering an immense local following by playing at area legions. For three years, the band performed weekly live shows on CHEX radio. For many longtime Peterborough area residents, Red Moncrief and the Haymakers was the most popular and fondly remembered musical act during the Depression, and into the War years.
