"Tenant Of Razed Home Used False Name," North Bay Nugget. April 25, 1933. Page 3. --- Open Inquiry Into New Liskeard Fire ---- Blaze Was Within Month of Buying Insurance ---- CONTINUES TODAY ---- Woman Thought Wife Has Husband at Cochrane ---- (Special to The Nugget) New Liskeard, April 25 - Evidence that a man known as M. A. Doyon is actually Achille Levesque and that Mary Doyon, who was believed to be his wife is the wife of a man living near Cochrane and the mother of four children there was offered when Deputy Fire Marshal Edward Jordan, of Toronto, opened an investigation into a fire which razed two Lake Shore homes here on Good Friday last. Levesque himself, tenant of one of the two destroyed cottages, was on the stand the greater part of yesterday. Further disclosures were expected when the hearing resumed today.

The two dwellings which were burned were owned by Henry Bertrand and John Meyers and evidence was offered that the one in which Levesque was living was the fourth he had occupied in eighteen months. Fire broke out in this cottage within a month of Levesque placing insurance on the contents, according to the evidence, which also showed that this was the first home in which Levesque had carried insurance. With total coverage of $1,500 Levenque claimed $350 loss. Mrs. Doyon, in whose name the policy was carried, was not home the night of the fire.

Niagara police say they’ve solved a 25-year-old murder using DNA and genetic genealogy connecting the death of a Toronto woman to a suspect from Northern Ontario.

Homicide investigators say DNA evidence has linked the death of then 26-year-old Nadine Gurczenski with a New Liskeard truck driver who died in 2017.

Gurczenski’s body was found in a “roadside ditch” on May 8, 1999, around 5 p.m. in an area around Victoria Avenue and Eighth Avenue in the Town of Lincoln.

“Three passing cyclists … located a female’s body in the ditch on Victoria Avenue, which is in Vineland,” Det. Staff Sgt. Andrew Knevel explained. [...]

Royal Navy's newest sailors at HMS Raleigh greeted by Princess Anne during Passing Out parade

The Princess Royal takes salute at HMS Raleigh passing out parade.

Princess Anne made a special trip to HMS Raleigh yesterday, April 21, as the guest of honour at its Passing Out Parade to celebrate the newest sailors joining the fleet. The basic training facility of the Royal Navy at Torpoint was last visited by Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, in 2017.

HMS Raleigh is the home of both initial naval training for Royal Navy ratings and professional training. She arrived via royal helicopter and was greeted by the commanding officer of HMS Raleigh, captain Jane Roe ADC Royal Navy.

During the visit, Princess Anne met with the service, civilian and contractor staff who help deliver and support world-class training, as well as talking to a selection of recruits at various stages of their Royal Navy journey. The Cunningham 22/32 class are the latest recruits to complete their 10-week phase one training at the Torpoint base.

Among those to have met her was recruit Brodrick from Bristol, who is currently in week four of her training. She said: “I see The Princess Royal as a role model and an example on how I, as a female in the Royal Navy, can reach the highest ranks."

Chief petty officer Dav Hayer added: “I have met Her Majesty through her position as the chancellor of the University Highland and Islands where I am currently completing my MSc, and today [April 21] it is special to meet her in her role in the Royal Navy.”

Reflecting on her position of admiral of the Sea Cadets Corps, petty officer Stephen Owen from Liskeard, who works in the youth training team said: “It is appropriate The Princess Royal is here today [April 21]. 400 sea cadets are about to arrive to undertake the Annual National Drill and Piping competition at HMS RALEIGH, and she is an important head of our organisation.”

The Princess Royal inspects the passing out class at HMS Raleigh.

The class passing out was Cunningham 22/32, comprising of 25 sailors who are joining the fleet as future weapon and marine engineers, warfare specialists, Royal Navy Police, and a qualified dental nurse. The Princess Royal took the salute at the parade, which included Ship’s Company Divisions, and presented the training prizes and service awards.

Acting as guard officer, chief petty officer Al Lowe said: “It was a real privilege to be on parade in front of The Princess Royal, and it’s hugely rewarding to see these men and women evolve into effective members of the Royal Navy. All the training staff wish them luck as they start the next phase of specialist training.”

The Princess Royal meets HMS Raleigh recruit CS Sebastien Kava Liliu who is the first Solomon Islander to join the Royal Navy.

During her visit, six senior ratings serving at HMS Raleigh had their near 200 years’ service recognised with awards presented by Princess Anne. The sailors, all living in the south west and serving on the training staff at the New Entry Training establishment in Torpoint, Cornwall, have had their outstanding service marked with awards of Clasps to their long service and Good Conduct medal and Valedictory Certificates.

Petty officers Matthew Hocking and Stuart Donaldson both received the first Clasp to their medal after attaining over 25 years’ service, while warrant officers first class Ian Bailey and Justin Newbury both received their second Clasp after completing over 35 years’ service.

It could be my imagination, but there’s a softness that seems to wrap you in a South West embrace somewhere around about Exeter. Persistent rain streaks the Great Western train windows and a gentle mist descends first on the muddy flats of the River Ex, the terraced houses flanking the railway around Plymouth, the fishing boats far below Albert Bridge after Saltash, and then the rolling green hills as we journey through Liskeard - Bodmin Parkway - Par - St Austell - Truro - St Erth and finally Penzance.

I am hoping the rain is for Travel Day only. The start of another long solo walk and wild camping expedition is bringing up a familiar and not entirely comfortable anxiety, that I know from experience is much lessened if things stay more or less dry. Thankfully the weather app is showing reassuring semi-sunny, cloudy, windy icons for the next seven days. 

I catch the £2 Coaster Bus to the Lands End bunk house. A quick half in the First and Last Inn a little way up the road, a re-acquainting with my old friend the Cicerone Guide and I’m tucked up by 10. So far, so good.
