I have gotten ads from Ancestry for scrapbook pages with genealogy themes. You might check out their 'store' to see what they have, at least for ideas. You can probably find similar type things at a large craft store or a scrapbooking specialty store. If you don't have one nearby - their are plenty online. just type in scrapbooking supplies in google and you should be inundated.

Transcribed "History and Place Names" of our province, Newfoundland and Labrador" including humerous ideas and maybe an "error" through typing or otherwise. ENJOY! The provincial flag: White is representative of snow and ice; Blue represents the Sea; Red represents human effort; and Gold our confidence in ourselves. The Island of Newfoundland has an area of 108 860 km2 and a perimeter of 9 871 km. There are 12 other major sea islands which when combined with the Island of Newfoundland have a total area of 111 365 km2 and a perimeter of 11 548 km. There are 7170 minor sea islands with an area of 3 598 km2 and a perimeter of 9 236 km. When you add all of this up the total is : area: 114 963km2 and a perimeter: 20 784 km. Wreckhouse Winds Wreckhouse is located between Cape Ray and St Andrew's in Southwestern Newfoundland. This area is, at times, subject to extremely violent southeast winds, which have been strong enough to blow railcars off their tracks. Newfoundland Placenames Newfoundland has the most unusual collection of place names of any country in the world. The hackneyed manner by which other New World settlers identified their communities and natural landmarks did not appeal to the rugged types who settled here. Early Newfoundlanders were men of imagination and wit who were at their best when leaving names to posterity. Consider their humorous side. There must have been a twinkle in many an eye when such gems as these were bestowed: Jerry's Nose Nick's Nose Cove Come-by-Chance Blow-me-down Lushes Bight Bumble Bee Bight Ha Ha Bay Run-by-guess Bleak Joke Cove Calves Nose Nancy Oh Little Looping Harbour Snake's Bight Joe Batt's Arm Dildo The depths of their hardship in times long past caused such place names as: Gripe Point Bad Bay Bleak Island Misery Point Famine Point Wild Bight Breakheart Point Famish Gut Savage Cove Dead Man's Bay Confusion Bay Wreck Cove Bareneed Empty Basket Some settlers were contented with their discoveries and their satisfaction is reflected in: Heart's Desire Heart's Content Heart's Delight Safe Harbour Comfort Cove Little Heart's Ease Sweet Bay Too Good Arm Little Paradise Harbour Grace Angel's Cove Cupids Homesick settlers provided place names from their own origins: English Harbour Portugal Cove Harbour Breton Turk's Island Frenchman's Cove Jersey Harbour Ireland's Eye The French colonized a part of the Island and held fishing rights for centuries. They left many a name, all which have been mispronounced for years: Bay D'Espoir (locally called Bay Despair) Francois Bay de Vieux Chaleur Bay Cinq Cerf Bay L'Anse a L'Eau La Hune When imagination ran out they turned to what they had at hand: Plate Cove Ladle Cove Spout Cove Chimney Cove Table Cove Spoon Cove Butter Cove Cape Onion Broom Point Bacon Cove Bread Island Rooms Traytown They also looked to the animals or birds: Lion's Den Pigeon Island Bear's Cove Turr Island Horse Chops Gander Bay Hare's Ears Point Swan Island Cat Gut Black Duck Little Cat Arm Goose Bay Otter Point Eagle Isand Dragon Bay Gull Island Fox Roost Cow Head Goat Island Muskrat Brook Many names denote the affinity towards fishing and the sea: Caplin Cove Trout River Herring Neck Rope Cove Salmon Cove Schooner Island Boat Harbour Dog Fish Point Ship Cove and Mooring Cove Also, we would add: Button Island Shoe Cove Stocking Harbour Petticoat Harbour Not to mention: Hatchet Cove Sitdown Pond Goblin How about: God Bay Devil Cove Dry of ideas, they ended up with: Nameless Cove Harbour Harbour

Hi All; I have taken great interest in reading the different responses from different people living in different areas concerning last evening's posting of "Changes of place names in Newfoundland and Labrador". I too, am a lister like yourselves and try my best to post what I believe to be correct and especially this topic transcribed from the "Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador and I am truly sorry if there were errors, but it wasn't because of my mistake. I'm pleased that you responded in case of future errors on this same topic. I'm just the pounced on messenger. I have to admit some of these place names may have a few errors, but unknown to me. The following responses may just help us understand the errors that have been submitted to the Provincial Archives, but I am sure that it wasn't done intentionaly by these people and listers like you that still live in these places are correct in rectifying the errors. Steve Hickey wrote: I noticed one name that jumped off the page and that is Gleeson's cove, now O'Donnells Old Name New Name Gleeson's Cove O''Donnell's I have never heard that O'Donnells was once called Gleeson's Cove. It must be a real old name. Do you have a reference as to when it was called Gleeson's COve? There is one name missing for O'Donnells and that is Mussel Pond. It was called Mussel Pond through the 1800s and until about 1920 or 30, when it was changed to O'Donnells. In the census records of the 1800s you will see reference to Mussel Pond, or Muscle Pond. I grew up in O'Donnells and all through my younger years it was referred to by my elders as Mussel Pond. Bernie Heard wrote: Hi: Corrections to previously posted data on this subject: Goose Bay changed to Happy Valley/Goose Bay. This is not correct. The present town of Happy Valley- Goose Bay (note hphen instead of diagonal) was created by the {Evelyn's response: Bernie, I'm sure that the hyphenated mark didn't make such a big error, but yes it should be stated as "Happy Valley-Goose Bay instead of the slash / Goose Bay} amalgamation of the previous Local Improvement District of Goose Bay and the former Town of Happy Valley in 1974. Grand River changed to Gillisport. This is incorrect. Gillisporte was the name given, for a short period only, to Kenemish, Labrador, across the lake from North West River, back in the early 1900's. The name didn't last, and the place is still called Kenemish. Grand River, (commonly known as the Churchill River) is some 30 miles away from Kenemish at Happy Valley- Goose Bay. Lodge Bay changed to Cape St Charles. This is incorrect. Lodge Bay is still very much a community unto itself on the St Charles River. . Cape St Charles is the former summer fishing station for the Lodge Bay residents and is several miles distant on the outer coast. Makes one wonder just ow many more errors there are in these listings. Dave Welcher wrote: I would like to inform listers that the community names of Valleyfield, Pool's Island and Brookfield are still very much in existence today and not changed to Badger's Quay as reported in a previous message. Although incorporated along with Wesleyville and Newtown as the Town of New- Wes- Valley all towns still maintain their seperate identities complete with their own postal codes. Also, unless there was another Greenspond somewhere in Newfoundland, the historic community of Greenspond is still a thriving fishing town along with the others here on the North East coast of Bonavista Bay. Emily F. Mullett wrote: Thank you to David Welcher for making those corrections. My roots are in Bonavista North and, while we understand the New-Wes- Valley Town Council name, we like to see each community retain its original name. Thanks to Evelyn for her Obits, etc., though Warm Regards Evelyn

Hi Matt; Many thanks for the well deserved posting on behalf of Mr. Noonan. I sincerely enjoyed the reading of his tribute. I believe that Mr. Noonan was quite an "HERO" to say the least. I do not wish to disrespect our R.N.C. and R.C.M.P. but there's not too many "Authoritative" persons can fill this Gentleman's shoes, not according to the very touching Tribute that the Newspaper "Carbonear Compass" so graciously bestowed upon it's readers. It is truly a beautiful tribute for one of Newfoundland and Labrador's Patriotic Servants. May he rest in peace.

Transcribed, courtesy of Elinor Gill Ratcliffe and Jan Everly Williams. ENJOY! The History of the "Newfoundland Rangers" During the 15-year existence of the Newfoundland Ranger Force, from 1935 until 1950, 204 men enlisted. The Rangers served in the outport and remote areas of Newfoundland and Labrador, providing the main link between the people and their government. In 1934, during the Great Depression, Responsible Government and Dominion status were suspended in Newfoundland. The country was bankrupt and became governed by a Commission under a British Governor appointed by the mother country of Great Britain. The Commission first created the Rangers to aid in the exploitation of native game animals as a money-making venture. This idea was abandoned very quickly, and instead the Rangers became the government's representatives in the communities of the island and Labrador. Much was expected of them. In 1968, about 70 surviving Rangers met to hold their first reunion. This group became the Newfoundland Ranger Force Association. The Association has been active ever since, and it is this group who bring you the Newfoundland Rangers Home Page. How did the Rangers live? What was it like in Newfoundland before Confederation with Canada? What was the Ranger's status in his community? Let Ranger First Class Norman Crane take you on a ramble through the life and times of the Newfoundland Rangers. Rangers often used dog teams to travel throughout their districts. Ranger Burn Gill tells the story of crossing Hamilton Inlet in Labrador in 1943 with his wife and infant daughter as the ice was breaking up in the spring. He got out of the sleigh and stood at the back on the runners, up to his knees in water as the dogs jumped from one pan of ice to another, finally making it safely to shore. All in a day's work for a Ranger. The Rangers have their stories of heroism and valour. One of the most famous is the story of Ranger John Hogan. In 1943, Hogan survived 52 days in the wilderness after bailing out of a disabled aircraft. Not only did he survive, he cared for a fellow passenger who was unable to walk because his feet were frozen. Ranger Hogan kept the two of them alive by trapping a few rabbits, gathering berries exposed when the snow melted and brewing tea from wild herbs. Ranger Hogan was awarded the King's Police and Fire Services Medal for Gallantry for his dedication in caring for his colleague for over 50 days. Had Hogan been able to travel alone, he would have made it out in a much shorter time. The Rangers were very involved in the rescue and recovery of bodies from the wrecks of the U.S. ships Truxton and Pollux, which went ashore near Lawn in World War II. They also played an important part in recovering bodies following the sinking by enemy action of the S.S. Caribou in the early morning of October 14, 1942. The End . After Newfoundland's Confederation with Canada, members of the Force were given the opportunity to serve in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Those who did served with distinction. Norman Crane writes that the Rangers ceased to exist on July 31, 1950. The final entry made by #153 Ranger Walter Greene in the Harbour Breton Detachment diary read: "Wind South East, Foggy, with Showers. At office all day re final Ranger Force returns. This is the last day that the Ranger Force will be in existence and it is not without feelings of regret that this member puts away for all time the old khaki uniform. FINIS."
One of my Northern Bay next-door neighbors from the old days passed away recently. Here's his obit from the Telegram and an article from the Carbonear Compass: NOONAN, Vincent - Passed peacefully away on Sunday, November 9, 2003, in the presence of his loving family, Vincent Noonan, retired R.N.C. Sgt., last living member of the original Mounted Police, in his 85th year. He was predeceased by his son Bernard. He leaves to mourn his loving wife of 56 years, Anne (Delaney), his children, Wayne (Patricia), Jacqueline Noonan-Walsh, Elizabeth Ann Dalton (Bob), Patricia Roberts (Gary); his grandchildren Rene Loder, Deanne Noonan, Dwayne Noonan, Stacy Noonan, John, Jason and Julie Walsh, Brad Dalton and Catherine Despatie; his great-grandchildren Jordan, Hannah, Jasmyn, Zachery and Madeline; his brother Mike (Mary) in Gander and a large circle of relatives and friends. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Hopkin`s Funeral Home, Northern Bay, Conception Bay with visitation from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Monday, November 10, 2003. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 2 p.m. Wednesday, November 12, 2003 at Corpus Christi Church, Northern Bay. Interment to follow. November 10, 2003 FROM THE COMPASS OF 18-11-03: Constabulary pays tribute to original member of mounted unit By DANETTE DOOLEY Special to The Compass Vincent Noonan knew earlier this year his time was running out. But the 85-year-old veteran police officer was overwhelmed to have lived long enough to see the longstanding Royal Newfoundland Constabulary tradition of policing on horseback return as an integral part of the force. “It was heartbreaking to see them go because no police force is complete without a mounted division,” Mr. Noonan said. If I was well I could tell you a lot more stories. Time is running out with me anyway. But I’m delighted to see they’re bringing back the horses. I’ll definitely be in there to see it.” Time indeed was running out on Mr. Noonan. The retired RNC sergeant passed away on November 9 at the age of 85, but not before making a trip to RNC headquarters in St. John’s last month to meet the two new horses and their trainers, Constables George Horan and Jim Penton. The Northern Bay man was the last surviving member of the force’s original mounted unit. During his 25-year career with the Constabulary, Mr. Noonan also served as a member of the Criminal Investigation Division, (CID) until he retired in 1967. During an interview last March, Mr. Noonan recalled he’d policed on horseback for almost seven years during the late 1940s and early 1950s. He was delighted to see the tradition being resurrected. “Your horse was your life,” he said from his home in Northern Bay, adding that his horse was Ula-May. In those days constabulary officers were required to work seven days a week. Time off was only permitted during an officer’s annual vacation. But when you loved your job as much as this officer did, working seven days a week wasn’t a problem. There were six men on horses at the time, he said, going on to explain how one officer would go to work early, clean out the stalls, give the horses a drink and feed them their breakfast which consisted of a half gallon of oats. And, by that time, the rest of us would be in and you’d spend maybe an hour or an hour and a half cleaning and grooming your horse. Cleaning his hoofs, washing his legs and everything else. And you’d give him about a quarter of oats for his dinner and the same thing for his tea in the evening at five o’ clock and you’d give him what you’d judge to be 14 pounds of hay.” Mr. Noonan’s son Wayne is a media relations officer with the RCMP in Nova Scotia. Policing was a topic of conversation at the Noonan household when Wayne’s father was with the RNC and also after he’d retired. We started talking about community-based policing, when he learned a little bit about it even years after he retired. It was Dad’s philosophy that if you wanted good community based-policing, you needed to bring the horses back. He said you need your officers to stop and talk to the people in your community.” Mr. Noonan was obviously talking from experience. His voice brightened when he started talking about how he’d spent many an afternoon policing on Ula-May in the 1940s and 1950s in Mount Pearl, Bowring Park, Victoria Park, Quidi Vidi, Long Pond and Bannerman Park. We used to patrol these parks and they’d be blocked with children. We’d park by the gate in Bowring Park for awhile and the children would run around the horse and run in between his legs and that animal knew he shouldn’t move.” Family tradition Wayne Noonan is proud to say that he’s followed in his father’s footsteps by choosing a policing career. My father was a proud member of the RNC. His colleagues at the RNC had a great influence on me. They instilled such great principles in me like compassion, integrity and honesty. And Dad’s brother, my Uncle Pat, was in the RCMP and the tradition continues. Uncle Pat’s grandson, David Loder, just graduated from Regina and he’s an RCMP member in the Marystown detachment right now. Wayne’s brother Bernard was a retired member of the Ontario Provincial Police. Bernard passed away last year from cancer. That really took a lot out of our father. Our brother died of cancer but he kept it to himself. So it was very sudden for us. In hindsight, I guess he didn’t want to put our parents through difficult times at their age. He was a very brave man.” Wayne Noonan says his father would have been proud to have so many police officers attend his funeral, especially the RNC’s newly resurrected Mounted Unit that paid him a final farewell tribute by providing an escort during his funeral recession last Wednesday. Mounted police officers, Constables George Horan and Jim Penton led the funeral procession from Hopkins Funeral Home in Northern Bay, along the C.B.N. Highway to Corpus Christi R.C. Church for Mr. Noonan’s funeral mass. A bunch of Dad’s colleagues from the RNC, carried Dad out. And to have the Mounted Division there gave such comfort to our mother and my three sisters and me. It was such a fine sendoff for my father and something our family will never forget. “I really tip my hat to Chief Deering and everybody else who supported us during this difficult time.” RNC deputy chief Joe Browne was one of the officers who attended Mr. Noonan’ s funeral. The deputy chief met Mr. Noonan for the first time in March of 2002 when he was a special guest at the RNC Officers Mess Dinner. I was captivated by the stories he told of his time with the Force. He recounted with obvious pride and delight, the days that he spent as a mounted policeman.” In summing up what Mr. Noonan’s passing has meant to the RNC, the deputy chief’s thoughts are of comments made following the disbandment of the RNC Mounted Unit in 1951 when it was said that ‘lustre was taken away from the Newfoundland Constabulary.’ Having had the pleasure of spending some time with Vince Noonan, I can say with the deepest of respect that when he passed away on Sunday, November 9, lustre was once again taken from the Constabulary. We will remember him fondly,” deputy chief Browne said.
