My, what a shocker. George was talking on the phone to his brother, Andy, when all of a sudden there was no response on the other end of the line. George yelled Andy, Andy! Andy’s wife, Linda called his name and then got on the line and told George to call 9-1-1. He had no time to say goodbye in moving on… Our deepest sympathy to Linda White.

Mother, Lee-Anne White, is in Napanee hospital with pneumonia and cannot walk, but is improving slowly. She has not yet been told about Andy’s passing.

Happy belated birthday to our neighbour, Rick Good yesterday. I would imagine there was a pineapple cheesecake and ice cream for you. Many more years, Rick, and hope all your best wishes come true.

On February 14th another birthday will be coming up. Streamers and music galore will be streaming from Sam Jarvis house.

The halls are open for activities but I’m in no hurry. Maybe late summer if COVID decides to leave us. Meanwhile, stay safe.

The groundhog from my home at Manitoulin whose Indigenous name is Kookjiish- meaning ground hog - has also predicted an early spring, so it’s all systems go! Can’t wait! Rolls of fat or not, we’ll have a spring party!!

Meantime, here’s a winter special fishing challenge happening on Sat. Feb. 26 at Pinnacle Point on Gull Lake. It features a 50 50 draw, opportunity to win a LCBO gift card, and various fishing prizes. Cost is $10.00 with tickets from Megan Dillon or Darren Ross. The price includes the choice of one of the following: one hotdog, or one hamburger, or one chili/bun. So one hot dog or one hamburger or one chili on a bun is included, and this sounds yummy in the tummy! It also includes one home made butter tart and one water. It’s always so much fun when folks gather out on the lake to fish and enjoy the fresh air together. So give the organizers a telephone tingle and an e-transfer and it’s all systems go! Dress warmly and get out there to fish up a storm of fish.

Keith Foster, who at one time lived in our area, is pleased to report that he is doing well and is in line to get a fourth shot of Covid vaccine next week. We miss you, Keith, and all the best.

Special get well wishes to United Church student clergy, Kaitlyn Ostrander, who broke her arm while skating. She is still on duty and offering leadership online, pastoral care, telephone visits, prayer support. All the best, Kaitlyn.

Did you remember that Valentine's Day is happening on Monday, folks? Our rural mail deliverers would appreciate a Valentine treat in the mail box, I'm sure!

Good news from our long term care homes indicates that as of Feb. 21 general visitors five years of age and older will be able to visit wearing masks, and showing proof of at least two doses of a Covid 19 vaccine. Super duper!

Special thinking of you to our own Lee White in Napanee Hospital with pneumonia and also grieving the loss of her son, the late Andy White, who died this past weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with spouse, Linda and all of Andy’s family in their time of loss. Andy will be remembered for his love of spouse Linda and family, conducting boat excursions at Bon Echo, and being supportive of his community.

Archives Lanark - Searching for the History of Your Home? & Annual General Metting.

Over the last year, Archives Lanark received may email requests from people who were interested in learning about the history of their home. Whether it’s an old farm house, a house in a hamlet, a cottage, or school house, people have been very curious to learn about their treasured home’s history. Who lived there? What did the original home look like? Who built it? So many questions… At Archives Lanark, we might just have some answers! We collect the documentary history of Lanark County. This history often includes pictures, books, genealogies etc. One such resource is our Tweedsmuir Histories, written and compiled by local Women’s Institutes. By using these histories, we often can find out more about pioneering families who may have owned or built your home. We can look at our land record books to find out who was granted the land, see the list of purchasers since, and the amount they paid to purchase the land. We can also view the original deeds that correspond to these land documents. We have a large selection of family genealogies, and other books detailing the history of many of our local churches and schools. Our very own Rural School book series itself is a fantastic way to learn about all of our original rural school houses in Lanark County. These resources can all be used to search for your home’s unique history.

Because so many have shown such an interest in learning about their homes, we are thrilled that Mr. Ted Outerbridge, an Illusionist and Historian from Smiths Falls, has agreed to speak at our AGM on February 26, 2022, 1pm. Mr. Outerbridge has been investigating the history of his Keyhole House in Smiths Falls. He will share the journey which led him to understand and uncover the secrets of his unique home using archival documents. For those interested in joining us via Zoom for our AGM and Mr.Outerbridge’s talk, please email your request to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and a link will be emailed to you on the day of the meeting. The

meeting will begin at 1:00pm, and Mr. Outerbridge’s presentation will follow.

For those who would like to learn more about Archives Lanark, or have

questions for our Board Members, this is the perfect opportunity! We hope to see you via Zoom on February 26, 2022, 1pm.

Mississippi
by Pearl Killingbeck

The last news I wrote was before Christmas.  My hands are shaking so bad now that I can hardly write.  Anytime there might be some news to write about, I will try to write it.  I have so many people to thank for visits, food and chocolates.  Thank you, Mary Gemmill, for the visit on Saturday and the lovely apple crisp.  I couldn’t stop eating it.  We also had a wonderful visit.  People:  please do not feel that you have to bring something every time you come to see me.  Just having a visit is present enough.  It was lovely to see Anne Howes out delivering her Meals on Wheels. Her meals are lovely and so are the people who deliver them.  A big thumbs up to all of you.

Thank you Marc and Leith, my neighbours across the road, for the lovely soup.  I was having a bad day and hadn’t eaten yet.  Their soup was delicious and I ate it and felt much better.  I probably was hungry. 

Thank you, Elaine, for taking me to my last two appointments, getting my groceries and for the lovely muffins.  Just being out and seeing people was wonderful. 

Thank you, Holly, for coming to my house and doing my feet.  Thank you for the chocolates and a big thank you to whoever paid for getting my feet done.  I will get you!  Everyone I asked said it was not them but I think I know who it was – thanks a million!

Thank you to Bev Ladurantaye for the big bag of fruit she sent for Olive and me.  I had been craving spaghetti and she sent a huge dish of spaghetti plus homemade soup, cranberry loaf, cheese and crackers and the fruit.  Thank you so much, Bev, and hope to see you soon when you are feeling better.

Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart. 

Some February birthdays: Murray Elliott, Jim Riddell, Rick Killingbeck, Alex Killingbeck, Ellen Raeburn,  Chuck Johnston,  and Peter and Johanna Cumberbirch.  Belated birthday and anniversary wishes to all who celebrated in January.

I have to tell my friends how much they mean to me – I don’t know what I would do without them.  They make me feel happy, safe and secure and never alone.  They fill my heart with cheer and quiet my fears.  They help me find my giggling pin and the greatness of laughter.  They enrich my life so much and care about me so much and show they care.  It makes me feel that things are not as bad as I sometimes think they are.  They are just a phone call away.  My friends are a blessing.

Sympathy to Bill and Wendy Crain on the loss of their buddy, their pal, their fur baby, Oscar.  I know their animals are their babies.  When I die, I want to come back as one of their dogs as I know I will be pampered to death.

I was so upset when I heard how sick our wonderful pharmacist, Jocelyn, was.  I saw her about a month ago and she was working and did not look like anything was wrong with her.  I took out a letter for her on Tuesday and CTV news, the Town Crier, and all kinds of people were there taking pictures and leaving videos for Jocelyn.  I hope you know how much you are loved by everyone.  It was great to see the outpouring of love for you.  You are an angel with a golden halo. 

Sympathy to the family of Scott Shepperdson of Ompah.  He was the President of Snow Road Snowmobile Club and very active with North Frontenac Fire Department and the Ompah community.  Also sympathy goes out the family of Jim Morrow who was the son of the late Herb and Mary (Ryder) Morrow.

There is some construction activity going on at the entrance to the proposed cell tower location in Snow Road.  A positive sign for the future.

I want to finish up this column with a short poem:

There is a sweet lady whose name is Harriet who lives on the Robertsville Road

She fills in her days

Looking after seven strays

Who have found their way to her home.

There are small ones and big ones and fat ones too

They all get lots of hugs and food and there’s a couple of deer there too

They picked the right house to spend the cold winter

They are out of the wind, snow and cold

Because of her kindness as an animal lover

She is the #1 cat woman of Robertsville Road

Ompah
by Linda Rush & Marily Seitz

Sad news in Ompah.  Scott Shepherdson passed away suddenly last week. Scott and Laurie moved to Ompah several years ago and became immediately involved in many community groups, including the Fire Department, Snowmobile Club, trail associations and the Community Centre.  Our condolences to Laurie and the family. Scott will be much missed.

Other sad news is that Andy While also passed away suddenly.  He delighted in driving people around Mazinaw Lake in the Mugwump during the summer.  Our condolences to his family.

I've heard it said over the last few moderate winters that, "If it's going to be winter, let it be WINTER!"  Be careful what you wish for as we've certainly had a real old-fashioned cold January winter.  After the cold winter and two years dealing with Covid, we need some well deserved fun.  Save Sat. Mar. 5 for the Outdoor Dance Party that will be held in the Community Centre parking lot from 4:00 to 5:30.  Come to hang out or to dance your boots off.

Parham-Tichborne
by Elijah Abrams

Well, another cold winter week is behind us. Let us all hope these frigid days lead to less gypsy moths in the coming months. The snow banks are high, and so it seems are the spirits of the community. I love watching people come together to help each other out during one of the biggest snowstorms we have seen in some time.  

We had our friends Kalin and Heather out this past week for a rib roast with a big old fire. We marinated the ribs in a simple pineapple juice blend. If you’ve not tried it, I would highly suggest giving it a go. Spice it up however you like. The pineapple juice does a lot to break down the meat.  Be mindful when tending to your fire, especially if you have a big beard like myself. It is not quite as big after a run in with the flames.  

If you would like to send any well wishes or thank a neighbour, please let me know. Spreading love during these winter days can really lift someone’s heart. Happy birthday to my best friend and partner, Thea Vandenberg. So happy to take another spin around the sun with you!

Heads up! On Buck Bay Rd, there is a seriously dangerous patch of heaved up ice and road just at the south end of the straight away there. One could seriously wreck their car or worse.

Some news from Jean Brown:

This is a bit late in reporting, but we wanted to share some words about one of our Parham residents the late Vi Hole who died just after Christmas at Lanark Lodge, Perth where she received excellent care. We all remember Vi's cheerfulness, jaunty hats, and support to the community over the years. She taught many a child in Sunday School at Parham United Church and helped out in the community in so many ways. Vi was predeceased by her devoted husband, Gordon, parents George and Olive Patterson (Clow) and sister Blanche Curson.

Weekly worship at Parham United Church has resumed with half capacity and all Covid requirements in place. Volunteers have done a lot of cleaning/painting and organizing during Covid so that’s fantastic. All welcome.

Special thanks to all who are caring for the area skating rink in Tichborne and making a difference to our community.

It’s wonderful to see our older buildings being restored and re-purposed, with thanks to all who are making it happen. One such building, the old Crowe Lake school house in our area, is being restored and renovated with plans for a variety of community use, under the name of “Archie’s Place”. A replica of the original school bell will be made and installed in the near future. The owner, Dr. Diana Meeks, will also ask the Community if they would like to donate historical photos and documents for display, “from the day”. If anyone has any questions, please ask Dr. Diana Meeks at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Another school: the original public school in our village of Parham will soon be re-purposed to become a microbrewery under the direction of Jen Goodfellow (mom Ann and dad Dave) and her partner Stephen Trussell .

The Parham Free Methodist Church has 3 dozen banquet chairs with metal legs and wooden seats and backs to give away. If interested, please contact Pastor Ken at 613 267-3518.

Plevna

Our community will be saying goodbye to one of my favourite ladies this week! After 35 years, Anne Hamilton has decided with her family to sell her home on Ardoch Road and move into a retirement home in Cobourg. Anne was always so very kind and such a positive person to be around! She was the best neighbour! Some interesting facts for you: Anne’s husband, Maurice, and my husband, Lonnie, were second cousins, so this makes us family! Interestingly, I believe that Anne and Maurice’s house was built on the lot of the original homestead of Bramwell Watkins. He was one of the first settlers in Ardoch. (Our children’s great-great-great Grandfather, I think!) Anne was always helping out people where she could and was one of the key members of the Anglican Church here in Ardoch and a Fire-ladies Auxiliary Member forever! Thank goodness she will still be a phone-call away!! Please feel free to contact me, if you would like her address or phone number to keep in touch!
