Peninsula reminds new minister of home

He can almost imagine himself
back in Ireland.

The green rolling hills of the
Saanich Peninsula, some dotted
with sheep, are an echo of the
landscape Noel Kinnon knew
growing up in Ireland.

History and religion are inter-
twined in Ireland. Kinnon’s home
town of Bangor was established in
524 A.D. As for the ongoing
religious strife, Kinnon notes it is a
complex situation with a long
history and no easy solution.

Oniginally Kinnon trained in
England and Wales with British
Telecom, then worked for the util-
ity in Ireland and Wales.

In 1976 he came to Canada,
accepting a job with Bell Tele-
phone in St. Catherine’s, Ontario.

After a year with the telephone
company, he began attending Knox
College at the University of Tor-
onto to train for the ministry.

“I’ve moved from one branch of
communication to another,” he
said.

“I was over 20 years in the
telephone business but I always
felt called-to serving the church.”

Ordained in June 1980, his first
posting was to Riverside Presby-
terian Church in Medicine Hat,
Alberta.

In 1989 he was transferred to a

REV. NOEL KINNON

very different setting, the urban
Central Presbyterian Church in
downtown Vancouver.

When he learned the Saanich
Peninsula posting was available,
he indicated his interest.

“T’ve always liked working with
smaller congregations, extending
the congregation.”

The church, which completed a
new sanctuary last year on East
Saanich Road, now has 99 mem-
bers and 45 to 50 adherents.

Previous pastor Rev. Peter
Coutts has gone to Ontario to serve
as an assistant minister, Kinnon
said.

25-cent concerts at Parkland

Come Valentine’s Day, Parkland
School’s halls will be alive with
the sound of music.

A total of three groups will
display their musical talents — all
competing in The Battle of the
Bands.

Inspired and organized by Stu-
dent Council arts director Nicole
Staebell, the event will run during
lunchtimes on Feb. 13-14.

One of the competing bands
consists of students nght from the
school itself, while the other two
are imported talent from Victoria.
mSays Staebell of the guest group,
Contempt, “They're a new, up and
coming band.”

The trenches for the Battle of
the Bands will be the multi-
purpose room at Parkland where
students will have the opportunity
to watch for a small fee of 25 cents.

The winning group will be
announced Monday, February
17th, and will receive gift certifi-
cates for Lyle’s Records and
Tapes.

As a follow-up to last fall’s
Strathcona trip, Parkland’s grad
class will be launching off again in
March — this time to conquer the

ocean.

The trip involves a four-day
adventure on a huge sailing vessel
that holds 30 students.

The students will learn the fun-
damentals of sailing, including
mast climbing and rigging.

At $64 per day, the grand total
cost to grads comes to $256 — not
a bad price when considering the
personal growth that can come of
such an opportunity.

In other grad news, the next
fundraising event is drawing near.

The grad fashion show, an
annual event, is planned for March
5 and will feature athletic, casual,
and formal wear.

Completely organized by stu-
dents, the show has live entertain-
ment, a concession and door
prizes.

Tickets are $7for adults and $6
for children under 12 and seniors.
They will be available late in
February.

Ten per cent of proceeds from
the show will be forwarded to the
Help Fill A Dream Foundation
which was responsible for helping
Jayson Lenaghan, a student from
Parkland that died“last March of
leukemia.

He was inducted as the new
minister in a service Jan. 28.

“1 look at the ministry as being
a very shared experience in the
work we do,” he explained. “I’m
hoping to see growth, not only in
numbers but also in work and
witness of the people.”

He says the church is very
relevant to individual lives, which
he feels are strengthened and
changed by belief. :

Those involved in the church
have a strong sense of commit-
ment from which they reach out to
serve the community, Kinnon said.

He enjoys the combined urban
and rural nature of his charge.
“Its a nice mix.”

At present he and his wife Edna
are living in Brentwood and seek-
ing a home in either Sidney or
North Saanich.

However they have family mem-
bers nearby. Kinnon’s mother and
uncle, Clara Kinnon and Sam
Shaw, have lived in Sidney since
1989.

Kannon’s daughter, Linda, and
son-in-law Yvon live in Victoria
with their two children, Kristin
and Danielle.

Son Jan lives just across the
water in North Vancouver.
