Xavier placed 83 student-athletes on the 2012 Spring Commissioner's Honor Roll.
July 11, 2012
A-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll (PDF)
NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—The Atlantic 10 Conference set a record Wednesday, with 1,369 student-athletes earning Commissioner's Honor Roll distinction for the Spring 2012 semester. Xavier was well represented with 83 Musketeers being named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll.
The 1,369 honorees is the highest number of student-athletes to achieve the distinction since prior to 2007, making it the most during Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade's tenure. It eclipsed the previous record of 1,359 set during the Fall 2011 semester. It marks the third straight semester, the total number of honorees has surpassed 1,300 and topped the previous semester.
"Academic success is one of the hallmarks of our Conference, stated Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade. Our number of honorees continues to rise each semester, proving that our student-athletes, already incredibly successful in the classroom, continually strive for improvements. I commend them on their hard work, dedication and achievements."
To be listed on the Commissioner's Honor Roll, a student-athlete in an Atlantic 10-sponsored sport must have a 3.5 GPA or better (on a 4.0 scale) during the specified semester. Freshmen are eligible to receive the award.
Out of the 241 total teams in 21 A-10 sponsored sports, 232 of them had at least one student-athlete named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll. Seven of the fourteen member institutions (Charlotte, Dayton, Duquesne, George Washington, Richmond, Saint Joseph's, Saint Louis) had all of their A-10 sponsored sports represented in their honor roll list.
Additionally, this year's honorees represent a balance in academic year. There were 368 honor roll members in the most recent freshman class, 346 sophomores, 290 juniors and 349 in the senior class (including fifth-year seniors). There were also 17 graduate student-athletes represented on the list.
About the A-10: The Atlantic 10 Conference was formed in 1976. Currently comprised of 16 member institutions and sponsoring 21 championship sports, the mission and goal of the Atlantic 10 is to preserve, protect, and enhance the academic and athletic pursuits of the membership.

MADISON – A Ridgeview man has been arrested on a felony charge after allegedly picking up a 14-year-old girl from a school in Kentucky and bringing her to his home in Boone County.
Boone County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Robert W. Stringer, 25, from Ridgeview on Tuesday evening, Jan. 29, 2013.
Stringer was arrested after information was received from authorities in the state of Kentucky, according to a news release from the Boone County Sheriff's Department.
Police said that Stringer was found to be in the company of a 14-year old-female from the Blue Grass state. Current charges are for "Custodial Interference," which is a felony in Kentucky.
Initial investigations point to an online relationship between Stringer and the juvenile female, police said, which resulted in Stringer allegedly traveling to the victim's school and picking her up earlier this week when school was dismissed. The pair then traveled back to Stringer's residence in Ridgeview, according to the police report.
Sheriff's Deputies D.J. Cottrell and A.M. Cook are handling the initial investigation in Boone County's juristdiction.
"It is a very real possibility that we will have criminal charges filed in Boone County in the coming days on Mr. Stringer," said Boone County Sheriff Randall White. "The investigation is continuing and we are looking into what sort of violations of the law have been committed here in our county."

This week marks another Remembrance Day. I cannot let this go by without acknowledgement, so rather than publish another letter this week I have decided to tell Joe's story so far. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing this weekend, please take a moment to pause and reflect for the lost youth and futures of the 55,000 young men of Bomber Command who had to rely on people like me to pass it forward.
My Uncle Joe, also known to his RAF buddies as 'Mac' lived and died before I entered this world. Yet I know his story intimately.
His letters, serialised here weekly in this Blog, have survived 65 years longer than he did himself. Something tells me that he probably wasn't thinking about that when he wrote them.
Every envelope is chock full of irony, as well as the sweet joy and adventure of a boy who was having the time of his life, living it to the full, expecting it to last forever. As a reader with the advantage of hind sight, these flimsy, clumsily scrawled letters have come to hold intense meaning and emotion. Imagine reading of someone's intention to marry when you know that he is going to die?
There are some avid and relentless archivists who do amazing work to ensure that the boys of Bomber Command are not forgotten. This is just my little bit, in a selfish effort to preserve one of the most important stories in my family history for posterity.
Joe's Story So Far….
In December 1943, aged 18 and a half, Joseph left home for the very first time, having signed up for gunnery training with the RAF, at the height of the second world war. He arrived in Regent's Park Air Crew Receiving Centre, after what would be his last Christmas at home for some time, and accepted his fate of discipline and drill for the foreseeable future.
He was billeted in some 'posh flats' with no less that 5 other 'Joes' and quickly learned that an ill-polished boot or a lost spoon would get you confined to barracks pretty smartly if you weren't careful.
Two weeks later, Joe arrived at Bridlington, a windy northern seaside resort in Yorkshire, where he joined 15 ITW (Initial Training Wing) for more rough treatment, terrible food and bitter cold 'digs'. He learned a great deal about aircraft recognition & guns, witnessed a fellow cadet getting killed in a rifle accident in a lecture, stole lots of coal to keep warm, and spent most of his wages on buying extra food. He made what must have been a record number of trips to the RAF dentist, where he had no less than 10 fillings. He came top of the class in his exams and realised that he was a bit of a chick-magnet in his 'blues'.
By March 1944 he was on his way to Bridgnorth in Shropshire (aka 'the dump'). Here he undertook his EAGS training (Elementary Air Gunnery School) and encountered the fiercest discipline so far. The dates piled up and the letters from girls poured in. He was star-struck by his Australian 'ace' gunnery instructor, and by a meeting with Monty. A firm friendship was formed with his pal, Joe Lee, and together they took and passed each and every set of exams put before them.
On 10th April 1944 Joe was posted to Stranraer in Scotland where he would spend 7 weeks applying and honing his gunnery skills in the air. There were high jinx and hard work at Stranraer, but actual sugar in the porridge, and as Joe lived for his food, nothing else really mattered. He met a Polish pilot who tried to kill the whole crew with his mad-cap aerobatics, and learned to shoot true by practising on seagulls.
By May 1944, Joe had finished this course, and had earned his Sergeant stripes. He was now less than 6 months into his training but enjoying it immensely. He would pass his 19th birthday at a new camp, however. At Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire, Joe joined 218 Squadron and met the crew members with whom he would serve his active operations, and who would form important and life-long bonds together.
We will re-join Joe's letters next week in June 1944, at Upper Heyford.
I hope you will come along with me for the journey….
To read more about Joe's letters please follow this link. There you will find the full selection of letters to date, as well as more information about his fascinating yet ultimately tragic story.
He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey.

The theme this year was pretty odd. And no, it's not that the theme itself was odd, but the theme for script reference was "Pretty Odd."
Kip Welch, chairman of the JOCO Film Fest, believes "there is some great talent here in Jones County." And on May 4 in the Fine Arts Auditorium at Jones County High School, the "Hollywood" red carpet will be literally rolled out, and folks in their suits and gowns will come to celebrate the nominees and winners of this 6th annual school contest. And the public is invited, free to attend.
Twenty-five films from five schools, including Turner Woods Elementary, Wells Elementary, Clifton Ridge Middle School, Jones County High, and the Ninth Grade Campus, will be involved this year. A truly unique festival and opportunity for Jones County students, Welch, now in his fourth year with the fest, knows of no other school system, on such a grand scale, that can boast of promoting a student's artistic flare within the dramatic on-camera arts.

UT Commencement Honors More Than 1,000 Graduates
Published: May 6, 2009
The University of Tampa's Class of 2009 will be the first UT class to break 1,000 with 1,007 graduates when the seniors cross the stage at spring commencement on Saturday, May 9, at 10 a.m. in the St. Pete Times Forum. Of that number, which includes August graduates, 818 are bachelor's degree candidates and 189 are graduate degree candidates. The ceremony is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the president of Liberia, will give the commencement address. She will also receive an honorary doctorate in humane letters. Known as Africa's "Iron Lady," Sirleaf is a leading promoter of peace, justice and democratic rule, and in 2007 was awarded the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was the first woman elected president of an African nation and, in 2008,
magazine named her the 66th most powerful woman in the world.
Jabari Bennett, of Stone Mountain, Ga., will be the student speaker at commencement. A government and world affairs major, Bennett has sat on the Student Government Executive Board, participated in the ELITE (Educating Leaders in Today's Environment) Leadership Program and the Diversity Fellowship, and worked for U.S. Congressman Hank Johnson. This fall he was crowned Homecoming King.
At the ceremony, UT will present the Bailey Family Foundation with the 2009 Champion of Higher Independent Education in Florida (C.H.I.E.F.) Award. Founded in 1997 by Ron K. Bailey, a former UT trustee and father of current trustee Kyle Bailey, the foundation provides more than $2 million a year in scholarships to 400 high school seniors and college students. In 2002, the Bailey Family Foundation gave $2 million to the University to construct the R.K. Bailey Art Studios, which houses the Scarfone/Hartley Gallery. The C.H.I.E.F. award is the highest honor presented by the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida Council of Presidents, the leadership of Florida independent higher education. The C.H.I.E.F. Award is bestowed only upon distinguished individuals who represent the greatest support of independent higher education in Florida.
The 2009 Esse Quam Videri Award, the highest award given by the National Alumni Association to a graduate of UT, will be awarded to Ida Felicione Coe, class of 1958. Coe has volunteered countless hours of her time to UT in the last 50 years. She has served as secretary, treasurer, vice president and president for the Tampa Alpha board, UT's local alumni chapter. She is also vice president of homecoming for UT's National Alumni Association Board of Directors and is a founding member of the decade of the '50s reunions committee.
Brooke May, class of 2003, will receive the Young Alumni Award. Soon after graduating, May became an active member of the UT Board of Counselors, who serve as ambassadors for the University by organizing social events to raise awareness and funds for UT. May most recently served as chair of the Board of Counselors in 2007-08 and as chair of the membership committee in 2008-09. During her tenure as the chair of the Counselors, the group raised a record amount of money to support the Annual Fund and UT athletics.

MYRTLE BEACH (AP) — The S.C. State Ethics Commission is scheduled to discuss allegations that Atlantic Beach Councilwoman Carolyn Cole used her office for her own economic interest.
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports that the commission said it's found enough probable cause to hear 10 counts after a complaint was filed in February by then-Councilman Jake Evans.
The complaint said Cole violated state ethics by writing and signing checks to herself totaling $23,485 without council approval and that the checks were written to satisfy a debt to her not included in the budget for fiscal year 2012.
Cole said she believes she can present facts contrary to the charges.

Hello SilenceFreeSpeecH. The contaminated sample was from April 2012. The city says the problem is fixed and no other samples showed contamination.

Good morning, USAcrumbling. As of 10:40 a.m. only one candidate had officially qualified for St. Tammany Parish president. This story is about qualifying, which began this morning and continues through Thursday. When your candidate qualifies we'll make sure to include her in our listing.
Bob Warren
Thanks for pointing out the spelling error, myresponseis. It should be fixed in a few minutes. -Bob Warren
Thanks for the heads up, jimmyz. I added a '0' and moved the comma. The homestead exemption shields the first $75,000 from property taxes. However, since taxes are based on 10 percent of the value, the $7,500 to which loupgaroo refers is also correct. Hope my slight tinkering makes it a bit more clear.
Bob Warren
Correct, Shooger. I think the sergeant's objective in dragging the alligator was to get it out of the middle of a travel lane and onto a shoulder. And the construction workers and officers had to tie the animal up to put it into the back of a truck. I don't think they were dragging it all over the place.
Bob Warren
Hello 22ndWatchDog. Thanks for posting, but just to set the record straight: it wasn't any of the Covington City Council members caught with their hands in any cookie jars.-Bob Warren
Thanks for commenting, timespicyanose. Just to set the record straight: Ms. Lenfant didn't seek out the newspaper. I called her. I thought since she had been a neighbor, friend and colleague in city government circles she might be worth talking to. I wasn't looking to get involved in anyone's politics - I was more interested in doing a story on Mr. Williams, an innocent victim of a terrible crime. Everyone I spoke to yesterday about Mr. Williams had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. He is loved and missed by many.
Bob Warren
The news release from the St. Bernard Sheriff's Office is pretty clear that it's just for residents within St. Bernard Parish. Not sure if law enforcement agencies will have similar programs in other area parishes.
Bob Warren
Full marathon? I think I have another Ascent in me in the future, but I don't know about the marathon. It's a great time, though, isn't it? We really had a lot of fun. Next time we'll have a better idea of what to expect and how to train better. We did some stair climbing this time, but not nearly enough. Maybe also try to get out to Colorado a week or 10 days in advance of the race to get better acclimated. Steve was there a week early, but Chip and I weren't able to fly out of N.O. until the Thursday before the race...
Sorry channelbelle - a sentence got dropped from the original posting. Should have noted that 660 turtles have been collected, and of that number 106 were collected in Louisiana waters.

Nolanative - Typos should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing them out. -Bob Warren, The Times-Picayune
Hi laughingatla. This blog post was mostly to give readers a glimpse of some other sources on news from the rig. We've posted several of our own stories over the past few days, including an update this morning. Here's some links: http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2010/04/search_for_11_workers_missing.html .... http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2010/04/sunken_rig_not_leaking_crude_o.html ..... http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2010/04/burning_oil_rig_sinks.html . . . -Bob Warren
Hi Annemay - I updated the post and tried to answer some of your questions. The designation brings publicity, recognition and, in some cases, federal preservation dollars. The River Road essentially runs along the Mississippi River and is home to many historical sites. I'm not sure what your second post means - s/b so on.
Hope it helps.

No new titles being minted in St. Bernard Parish, dexterrussel. Just a goofy typo by me. Sorry. Should be fixed now.-Bob Warren
Sorry, whodatcat1978. I left a typo in there. Battle was fought in 1815 - not 1915. The story should be fixed now.-Bob Warren
Concetta - You had me all the way until you told us about the 4:09 you ran in New York. You sure sound like a runner to me. Great to have you run in New Orleans in February.
Ouch - That's a bad one. Thanks for catching it, Lilolegreeni.-Bob
Working on potential sentence and fine. We'll add it to the story soon as we get it. Thanks.-Bob Warren

Ants unearthed with Google Earth
Friday, September 30, 2005
At a time when the power of information technology doubles every 12 to 15 months and extends to capture every scrap we have, digitizing biodiversity information is a final frontier for IT. It's an essential step to ensure society maintains and hopefully increases bio-literacy. Toward this end, there's Antweb. It's a project from the California Academy of Sciences that has incorporated the Google Earth interface to provide location-based access to the diversity and wonder of ants: from your backyard to the Congo Basin.
As society advances, literacy increases and bio-literacy decreases. If you're illiterate, you may view a library as thinly sliced stacks of firewood; a Google search engine is meaningless. If you are bio-illiterate, a forest is at best a green blob to be consumed. If you are bio-literate, you see the diversity of the forest and understand that each animal, each plant, tells a story and has a place.
Google has helped us achieve free and democratic access to information, but now, with Google Earth, it's taken an important step to promote bio-literacy. Together with other institutions in the Bay Area, Google is uniquely poised to take on this enormous task.
There are two ways people need to access information on biodiversity: either have a name for which they want more information, or they are at a location and want to know what they will find there. On Antweb, you can access information about ants via location – and Google Earth allows for any scale of access via location. So you can be in Santa Clara County and see what ants you are likely to find. Soon you will be able to create a field guide for ants in any location defined in Google Earth.
We tried to get NASA's help to develop such a system for years with their mapping expertise and data, but Google Earth answered the call first. I am so impressed with Google that I have named an ant I recently discovered in Madagascar Proceratium google. Its bizarrely-shaped abdomen is an adaptation for hunting down obscure prey: spider eggs. Here's what it looks like.
I hope that Google will continue applying its skills to serve biodiversity data to conservation planners and the general public. Google has given us a tool to connect the 6 billion people on earth with our remaining biodiversity. Antweb welcomes any form of collaboration to help achieve this goal – and may the ants be with you.

I like this pale pink on my skin tone. It's buildable color and my lip color shows through a very tiny amount. Pale pink can really really wash out my skin tone. I think this an easier to wear then the creamsicle and cream brulee shade of lip butter because it does have that hint of pink. I find that it can cling to any dry spots on the lips and can build up a bit on the inner part of the lip and a touch on the corners. I think because this shade is easier to wear it can go with any eye look..It does a sheen to it so a gloss isn't always necessary.
Revlon Pink Lemonade Colorburst Lip Butter ($6.49 for 0.12 oz.) is a pale, lightly warmed-up pink with a luminous sheen. MAC Dreaminess is more pigmented. MAC Angel is darker. Guerlain Beatrix is less pink. Guerlain Rose Desir is darker. Chanel Candide is pinker. Chanel Candeur is cooler. Chanel Magnolia is similar. Chanel Confidentielle is darker. Bobbi Brown Orchid Pink is cooler. See comparison swatches.

The Ursuline College Accelerated Program was developed in 1998 to help people who worked or had family obligations, but wanted to finish their education. In the Accelerated Program, students can earn a degree or certificate in ten majors and seven certificates and take as many as nine courses (27 credits) a year, similar to a traditional student.
Courses are offered once a week - in the evenings or on Saturdays. Starting times are 6 p.m. on weekdays or 8:30 a.m. on Saturdays. Students appreciate the flexible scheduling, small classes, and our experienced professional faculty. They only take one class at a time, which helps adult students focus more effectively. Classes start nine different times a year. If a student needs time off from studies due to work or family obligations, she or he may even step out for a session.

DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This is part of the volunteer team that helped make last week's Combat Marine Outdoors hunt at the Rhode Ranch a Texas-sized salute to the courage and sacrifice of the three soldiers and Marine in the front row. That monster buck on the right came from the ranch's taxidermy collection, just for grins.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Army Spc. Kyle "Nick" Nichols, who stepped on an improvised bomb in Afghanistan on July 4, 2011 shot this heavy-antlered mature buck at the Rhode Ranch during a Combat Marine Outdoors hunt this past week.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Army Sgt. Raphel Flores of Robstown earned a Purple Heart while serving overseas. He downed this bull nilgai on the Rhode Ranch with a single shot to the neck.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Nick Nichols awaits the arrival of the right Rhode Ranch buck, where even management bucks are impressive. He killed a buck on the final hunt of the weekend.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This is an example of the prime genetics within the boundaries of the Rhode Ranch in McMullen County.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Mealtime at the Rhode Ranch lodge is a time to swap stories of the day's hunts and refuel for the next one during Combat Marine Outdoors weekend.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This pair of does squared off on each other several times while we watched from a box blind. Apparently there wasn't enough corn for both of them.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Chef Gary Schneider makes sure the meals are filling and on time during all the Combat Marine Outdoors hunts at the Rhode Ranch. I heard not a single complaint.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES That's Freddie Ruiz, Raphel Flores, Nick Nichols and Ivan Sears at the close of Combat Marine Outdoors weekend at the Rhode Ranch. The buck on the right is a prop taken from the trophy room of the lodge as a joke. Sears shot a buck during a previous trip to the ranch, but did not get a clean shot at an animal this time.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Volunteer guide David Green, on left, helped make sure this hunt was a success for Raphel Flores, center, during a weekend Combat Marine Outdoors hunt on the Rhode Ranch. Ranch owner Mike Jensen also pictured here was the driver on this safari-style hunt.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Mike Jensen calls this the Elephant, which he uses for safari-style hunts mostly for exotics on his Rhode Ranch. Here, it's being used to hunt nilgai during a Combat Marine Outdoors hunt.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Local singer/musician John Eric Hernandez entertained the crowd during Saturday night's party during Combat Marine Outdoors weekend at the Rhode Ranch.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Weary from a day in the field chasing nilgai or whitetail deer, the injured heroes relax with a beer while listening to John Eric music.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES This young up-and-comer buck kept its distance from our blind. The buck has nothing to fear for several years at the Rhode Ranch, where management rules are strictly enforced to maximize the herd.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Volunteer guide Tom Shulkee poses with Army Spc. Nick Nichols and his prize buck from the Rhode Ranch in McMullen County.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES I lost count of the number of impressive bucks I spotted at the Rhode Ranch in McMullen County, which has hosted one or two Combat Marine Outdoors hunts each season for years.

In Michigan, Police Officer Merlin Taylor was on duty last week when he received a call of an animal in distress. When he arrived at the scene, he saw a baby skunk with its head stuck in a yogurt cup. Knowing full well that he was probably going to get sprayed, Officer Taylor put on a pair of gloves and helped the skunk out of the tight situation, and in a stroke of luck, the skunk was actually too young to spray him anyway, so they both came out smelling great!

Comments about 18V Cordless XRP Band Saw Kit:
I purchased and received the Dewalt 18v Nicad Bandsaw two weeks ago Thursday. I charged the battery overnight and I've been using it at work without recharging the battery since. I'm a commercial electrician and I'm running EMT pipe for the overhead critical branch circuits in the patient rooms of a hospital. I'm cutting 1/4" all thread, 7/8" strut, and 3/4" EMT pipe throughout the day. My coworkers cut with the 12v Milwaukee bandsaw which is lighter but the Dewalt cuts faster and the battery does not have to charge as often as theirs. Other coworkers who do not have saw often come over to where I'm working and cut strut and 1/2 inch rod and it is still running on the same battery after two weeks. It is definitely heavier than the Milwaukee but the cut speed and the ability to cut larger items almost effortlessly makes the Dewalt one hand Bandsaw the better of the two. I highly recommend the 18v Dewalt Bandsaw

text: Guerlain Gigolo Rouge G Lipstick ($47.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a "pigment rich plum with a terrybly couture style." It's more of a berry-red on me than a plum with plum and ruby micro-shimmer. NYX Violet Ray and Make Up For Evere #13 are similar in color but has a frostier finish. YSL Forbidden Burgundy is less red. MAC Rebel is has a lot less red and more of a berry look.

On the 25th of August, 1897 James and Hannah celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a party at the farm. The St. Catharines Standard published a report of the event the following day;
A golden wedding was celebrated on Wednesday, Aug 25th, at the residence of Mr. And Mrs. James Vine, Sr., of Louth Township, when the estimable couple held a reception from 4 to 10 o'clock pm. A large number of friends were present, including Mr. Vine's brother from Iowa, whom he had not seen for forty-two years. Of a large family, seven daughters and three sons were present. These have nineteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. His son George and family from Minnesota were also present as well as many friends from other portions of the United States. A very enjoyable time was spent by everyone present, who all wished Mr. and Mrs. Vine a very long, happy and prosperous future. Dainty refreshments were served to over one hundred guests, one of whom was present fifty years ago.A word about "The Farm"...
I don't know the exact date the farm was built but the property was purchased in 1864 so I would surmise that James started building right away. After all, he had a rather large and growing family. The farm remained in the family right up until the mid 1970's. My great grandmother was living there then and sold it when she had to move to a nursing home. Shortly afterwards it burned to the ground. Now a highway runs through it...however, I have many fond memories of playing there as a child; helping my great grandma make applesauce, rummaging through my great Aunt's old bedrooms, getting yelled at for sliding down the bannister and being scared to death of the pond out back because someone told me there were bloodsuckers in it.
James died on the 21st of January, 1899, followed by Hannah on the 20th of January, 1912. They are buried together at Victoria Lawn Cemetery in St. Catharines, ON, Canada.
Victoria Lawn Cemetery, St. Catharines, ON
This morning there passed away one of the district's well known men, James Vine Sr., of Grantham. Deceased was 73 years of age and was one of the best known men in the Niagara peninsula, and his large circle of friends will hear with regret of his death. Besides a widow there survives four sons and seven daughters, Albert Vine and James Vine Jr. of this city; George and Charles Vine, Crookston, Minn; Mrs. C. Gannon, Mrs. C. Smith, Mrs. J. Cramer, Grantham; Mrs. (Rev. Dr.) Burns, Hamilton; Misses Laura, Delia and Eva Vine. A considerable degree of sympathy will be extended to the family in their sad bereavement.
Funeral, St. Catharines Standard, January 24, 1899;
The funeral of the late James Vine took place on Monday afternoon to Victoria Lawn cemetery and was very largely attended, a great number of friends of the deceased turning out to pay a last tribute of respect to the memory of the departed one. Religious services were conducted at the house by Rev. G.W. Calvert, assisted by Rev. W. Smythe, after which interment took place. Those who acted as pall bearers were H.M. Bowslaugh, A. Cole, A.G. Hall, Geo Vanderburgh, W. Pay, Thos E. Dudley.The last will and testament of James Vine was made on May 13, 1898 and proved and registered on February 16, 1899. He appointed his daughter Laura to be the sole executor. In it he left his entire estate to his wife Hannah, which included 75 acres of Lot 23 on the 5th concession of the Township of Grantham. He also stipulated that upon Hannah's death the entire estate should be sold and converted to cash (if not already done so) with $200.00 being given to each of his married daughters and the remainder to be split equally between his unmarried daughters. Twp of Grantham, Probate Court #5717, Book 13, 1899
A few interesting and amusing mentions about James from the local papers...
St. Catharines Evening Journal, October 15, 1862;
A fat cow and steer exhibited by Mr. Jas. Vine, of this town, attracted great attention and deservedly so, for they are immense beasts. the cow weighs 2,300 lbs and the steer 2,100 lbs. Many epicures yesterday indulged in beautific dreams of fine roasts, etc. at Christmas, when Mr. Vine will no doubt convert these beaves into beef. The cow took the first prize at the Provincial Exhibition.The Toronto Globe, March 30, 1876;
Some time since a nomadic dog, the property of one James Collaton, of this town, while out in Louth, killed several valuable sheep, the property of Mr. James Vine. Mr. Vine brought a suit against Collaton, and the Magistrate before whom the case was tried (J.W. Keating) adjudged that the owner of the dog should pay the amount of damage sustained. Collaton, however could not pay for the simple reason that he was impecunious, and possessed of no goods or chattels on which to levy. Mr Vine then demanded payment from the corporation, on the ground that the dog was owned in the municipality, and as the owner was not responsible the town must father the transgression of the aforesaid canine. The council referred the matter to the solicitor, Mr. F.W. Macdonald, who has decided that the town is entitled to pay the claim preferred by Mr. Vine.St. Catharines Journal, April 19, 1877;
A sad accident happened to one of Mr. James Vine's children on Friday last. The child was attacked by a dog and bitten in the face. The wounds are very severe, it being said that one of the child's cheeks has been almost torn off. If that be the case the child will probably be disfigured for life. It would be well if some action were taken by the authorities to suppress many of the useless curs which are to be met with daily in every part of the city.The St. Catharines Daily Standard, August 13, 1895;
Mr. J. Vine had an adventure last evening that proved rather exciting. It was nearly dark and going outside he saw two men in a buggy intently watching his house. He asked them what they wanted and they said they guessed they'd sleep in the buggy just where they were. 'No, you won't. You just clear out of here', replied Mr. Vine, emphasizing the remark by drawing his revolver. The men left at once. Mr. V. has an idea that the men intended to break into his house just as soon as the lights were put out.
