We are saddened to relay information from Peter Garrett that Ted Ladelpha, our passionate barebow archer over the past 20 years, did not survive a heart attack on January 21st, 2021. South Nation Archery Club extends its condolences to Ted’s family and friends.

Ted was famous for his opinions, but also for the wonderful roasted turkey he would bring every year to our SNAC awards banquets. He was generous to our SNAC members, and Larry E. Smith and Kathy Millar remember him fondly.

KINSELLA, Victor Reid – After a brief but courageous battle with cancer, it is with great sorrow that we announce the death of Victor Reid Kinsella on July 14, 2018 at 87 years at St. Thomas-Elgin General Hospital. Victor was pre-deceased by his loving wife Rita Kinsella (2013). He is survived by his children Victoria (Toni) Vanmillingen, Toni Corriveau, Thomas Kinsella and James (Debbie) Kinsella. Victor was the loving grandfather of nine grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. We will hold the memories of this kind and loving man within our hearts and we will honour him by sharing these memories with each other and by doing something kind every day for anyone who needs it. Memorial donations may be made to the Men’s Mission or the charity of your choice.

Vic Kinsella was a kind, generous archery coach and former President of the Federation of Canadian Archers (known now as Archery Canada). Kathleen Millar worked with him and for him over many years – an inspiration and role model. So much kindness and humour, and roses!

2016/11/082016/11/08 Kathleen Millar

Wisconsin’s Norb Mullaney, a legendary archery engineer and equipment evaluator, died Oct. 22 at age 94. Mullaney is in the Archery Hall of Fame and Museum, as well as Safari Club International’s Hall of Fame.

Mullaney served nearly two decades as chairman of the Technical Committee for the Archery Manufacturers and Merchants Organization, the forerunner to the Archery Trade Association. His committees established unprecedented consistency and exactness for the industry’s manufacturing guidelines.

His work was instrumental in the long-term improvement of archery equipment and standards. His analysis column in the most widely-read magazine in the industry was always interesting, gently critical of imperfections, and educational.

It is with sadness, but with many fond memories, that we must relay the news that Adam Wicks died on Friday, August 19th at Winchester District Memorial Hospital of heart failure.

Adam grew up in our archery lanes and was an active participant in house leagues, tournaments, and was an OFSSA archery representative for North Dundas District High School. Also, he was an enthusiastic bowhunter.

He was in the same grade as our daughter, Amanda, when they attended Inkerman Public School together and they remained friends over their lifetime. We will miss him.
