It’s hard to tell that it’s now March. Itseems as though It’s been Marchsince November.With the recent additions of our newSecretary Christine Hayward andTreasurer Maureen Marinoff, I feel asthough I finally see relief in myschedule. Thanks once again forstepping up to the plate. Hopefullythey will have settled into their jobsjust in time for elections.The Internal Audit Committee, headedup by Sid Kenmir, is hard at workgoing over our books and paperworkto make things better for the runningof our Wing. If these committeemembers approach you for some helpplease help them as they are workingfor our future.The Ontario Group AGM is fastapproaching and the committee ishard at work making sure thateverything is in place. If you can help,please let Garry or Donna Kuehl know(519-744-3146).Thanks to all those who helped withthe Valentine’s Dinner, Roy Wuertele,Bob Hayward, Christine Hayward et al.I heard it was another fine success.Thank-you to the “Just Us” group forentertaining the ladies that evening.Also a thank you to Garry Kuehl andhis crew of Past Presidents andhelpers in preparing a fine meal andevening to show our appreciation to
our very own 404 Wing LadiesAuxiliary. It’s a small token for a largehelp from our Ladies over the pastyear.On the evening of Saturday March 17th
The Wing will be celebrating thebirthday of St Patrick, The patron Saintof Ireland. Come on out in your greensand join us for some fun. This shouldbe a sell-out!Membership is increasing again due tothe “Just Us” bluegrass, folk, group.Check the membership report in thisWing Ding. I would like to add that weshould also concentrate on bringing innew members from all directions. Iwould hate to think how thin ourexecutive would be if it weren’t fornewer members. If you have ever beenon the executive, think about that. Westill need more new members. Go getthem and bring them in. We have LOTSof room for them. (lots of jobs too!).Also, don’t forget to thank thevolunteers we do have when you seethem at work. Without our volunteers,there would be no Wing.The quote for this month is fromGeorge Bernard Shaw... “Whichpainting in the National Gallery would Isave if there was a fire? The onenearest the door, of course.”See you at the Wing. Bring someonenew. Make them a member. It won’thurt, I promise. Mike

Padre’s Corner Rev. D. Myron Leis
Membership Report Chair: Janice Beecroft / Membership Co-Chair Anna May Trapp
MYRONAccording to WikiName.com, theorigin and history:The name Myron was believed tobe derived from the Greek myronfor myrrh. Its popularity waspossibly driven, for manyChristians at least, through theassociation by them with the giftof myrrh made by the three kingsto the infant Christ. Additionally,myrrh itself – an embalmingspice — carries with it many ofthe connotations associated withwhat was then taught inChristianity. Mainly, the cycle ofdeath and eternal life.Myron was a Greek nameoriginally. Coincidentally, Myronis one of the most famous Greeksculptors. Myron the sculptorcreated the statue “The DiscusThrower”. Myron the name waspopular in the 5th century B.C.and in addition to the sculptor, itwas shared by at least two earlysaints. Myron is now a masculinegiven name used in Englishspeaking countries, yet it is notstatistically very popular andhasn’t been since the very early1900s. Myron’s feminineequivalent, Myra, is derived fromthe same history.The first Saint referred to: TheHoly Martyr Myron of Cyzicus wasa priest in Achaia, of rich andeminent parents, by nature kindand meek, and loving towards
God and man. In the time of theEmperor Decius, on the Feast ofthe Nativity itself, pagans rushedinto the church, dragged Myronaway from the service and puthim to torture. While he wasbeing tortured by fire, an angelappeared to him andstrengthened him. They then cutoff his skin in strips from head tofoot. The martyr took one ofthese strips and, with it, struckthe torturer on the face. Thetorturer, as though possessed,took a sword and killed himself.Myron was finally taken to thetown of Cyzicus and there killedwith the sword, in 250.The second Saint referred to: St.Myron the Wonderworker, Bishopof Crete, was a humble farmer.He and his wife shared joyfullyand generously with the poor.Once, he caught some thievesstealing corn from his threshingfloor. Rather than act as theowner and chase them off orhave them arrested, he joinedtheir band long enough to helpthem fill their sacks, lift themonto their backs and help themget away. Because of his honest,humble and industriousreputation, he was ordainedpriest, then consecrated bishop.Many miracles happened by hisprayers. He was a wise Bishopand a peacemaker. He reposedin the Lord at the great age of
100 in the year 350.Very few, of the possiblythousands of us Myronsthroughout history, areremembered any further thanour immediate family. That is okthough, as long as each one ofus tries, and has tried, to serveGod and our fellow man – thisgoes for anyone, no matter whattheir name may be.As for me, I am not a sculptor,and certainly not a saint, but I dohope I have said, or written, ordone something that has liftedyour spirits in some way. If I havesaid or done something to hurt,or harm you in some way, I trulyam sorry and apologize from thedepths of my heart!I am retiring as Padre (P) on Junethe 7th 2012; or earlier if a newPadre accepts the position. Ibecame Padre extremely quicklyas a result of the death of ourPadre John Bonesteel, and haveserved several years now. I wishto thank each one of you for yoursupport and kindness – andagain ask forgiveness for myshortcomings and lacks.I pray a Blessing of Almighty Godon the Membership of 404 Wing,and I ask each one of you to seekGod while He may yet be found.God is our refuge and strength –If we take hold of Him!Blessings!Rev. D. Myron Leis
