Canadiana
Hometown Hero
...from the Sarnia Observer, early August, 2019
When Chris Hadfield was flying above the Earth, he asked
followers on social media what part of the planet they would like him to
photograph through the windows of the International Space Station.
Hometown Hero
 |
| Retired astronaut, Chris Hadfield unveiled his "hometown" start from Canada's Walk of Fame during an event in Sarnia in early August. |
“The resounding word from
all around the plant was, ‘I want to see a picture of my hometown,’” the
retired astronaut told a crowd gathered on Sarnia’s riverfront Tuesday to
celebrate his “hometown” star from Canada’s Walk of Fame.
People are proud of where they’re from, he said.
“I’ve been lucky enough not only to be born here and raised
here,” but also to see “the beauty of it from space,” Hadfield said.
“This is a place that I love … and Sarnia is a place that I’m so
proud to call home.”

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
As one who mostly
failed in school, I could really understand the benefits of the Khan Academy
teaching videos on the future of education.
How often was I forced to move to a new lesson without understanding the
last!
-- Jean Michel Crepin,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Loved the Greeter
message from Vicki Horsfield and the Canadiana about the aboriginal role in WW
II.
-- James Ferguson,
E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Youngest
person. Her talk about fear, loneliness
and even expectations in unknown cultures is very real to all, but I certainly
experienced this during my ten years in Central America, Cuba, Mexico, North
Africa and Europe Across Canada and USA and in our Arctic alone. One needs to
face their own realities and fears of the unknown. I call it an adventure.
I never have had
a goal of seeing all the countries in the world but the travel I have completed
has been driven by my curiosity of different cultures.
I really enjoyed
hearing about her goals and obstacles to achieve them as we all have them in
our lives.
Reaching out to
overcome comfort zone limits is most satisfying once done, be it fear of death,
loneliness, or the unknown to us or psychological intimidation which is
often the life real wars and fears of harm.
Thank you to Doug
Dyer for this contribution and congratulations on another great online meeting!
-- Lynne Ternosky, Passport Club of Rotary District 6330

Food for Thought
Danish
artist Thomas Dambo creates larger than life sculptures hidden around
his hometown of Copenhagen.
His sculptures
require secret poems and clues in order to locate them. He says each has its
own treasure map or poem engraved into stone to steer people onto
unfamiliar paths where they’ll discover them.

Rotary Jukebox

Every week we'll have a draw and the lucky person will see their song featured!

In this beautiful
and moving talk, the self-proclaimed "happiest man on earth", Eddie
Jaku shares his story of love and survival at TEDxSydney 2019. Eddie Jaku was a
Jew living in Germany at the outbreak and throughout the duration of World War
II.
His story of
survival spans 12 years, from Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 until liberation
in 1945. He saw death every day throughout WWII, and because he survived, he
made a vow to himself to smile every day. Eddie Jaku OAM, born Abraham
Jakubowicz in Germany in 1920. His family considered themselves German, first,
Jewish second.
On 9 November
1938, the night immortalised as Kristallnacht, Eddie returned home from
boarding school to an empty house. At dawn Nazi soldiers burst in, Eddie was
beaten and taken to Buchenwald. Eddie was released and with his father escaped
to Belgium and then France, but was again captured and sent to a camp, and
thereafter to Auschwitz.
On route, Eddie
managed to escape back to Belgium where he lived in hiding with his parents and
sister. In October 1943, Eddie’s family were arrested and again sent to
Auschwitz where his parents were both murdered. In 1945, Eddie was sent on a
‘death march’ but once again escaped and hid in a forest eating slugs and
snails until June 1945 he was finally rescued by the U.S. army.
Eddie has
volunteered at the Sydney Jewish Museum since its inception in 1992.
Self-proclaimed as ‘the happiest man on earth’, he saw death every day
throughout WWII, and because he managed to survive, made a vow to himself to
smile every day.
Eddie has been
married to Flore for 73 years. They have
two sons, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
