Title card for article: Eight Bells featuring a drawing of the Napanee highway sign. Reads “Town of Greater Napanee, Population 16,000, 3 Interchanges. Greater for many reasons.” Screencap of article. Intro reads: It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of Brenda Loretta Hogg, 53, along with her partner Dewain Richard McCracken, 67, aboard their boat ‘Knot 4 Sail’ on it’s maiden voyage this past Saturday evening. There are indeed many reasons Greater Napanee is Greater but today we find ourselves with one less.
