Arden
by Wanda Harrison

Thanks is extended to all the folks who participated in the April 25 Trash Bash. The village sure looks good!

Connie Tryan, supervisor of the Kids Klub program, and the Kennebec Recreation Committee would like to thank the Community for their support of the program. There are many to thank, those who attended, those who donated gifts for the auction, those who provided food and especially those heroes who were still on cleanup duty at 8pm that evening. Details of the summer programs will be announced when the plans are formulated.

On Saturday, April 29, 11am the Arden Legion held their 2022/2023 elections. The room was packed by members and non-members, as well. The new executive will have many new faces, some familiar to us and some not. Best Wishes are extended, in the hope that the current, new found enthusiasm continues.

Just a reminder about the Arden Legion’s very popular Thursday night Bingo offering of a $4000.00 Jackpot starting this evening, Thursday May 4. Every Thursday thereafter will feature a $4000.00 payout if cards are filled out with 52 numbers called or less. The one-hour session is sponsored by Amhurst Island, radio Bingo.

There will be a Vendor Sale Saturday, May 7, 10am to 2pm, hosted by Angela Deline, at 14569 Road 38 in Sharbot Lake. This event will aid the Food Bank and Henderson United Church. There will be various vendors and prizes. Something for everyone!

The Kennebec Rec. Committee’s Senior softball will start, Wednesday May 10, 6:30 pm, at the Ball Diamond behind the Post Office. No experience is necessary! The games are pick-up based on participation that evening. Just an evening of good fun with a little exercise thrown in for good measure. |Please see Facebook posts for more information, or contact Gord Brown, at 613-335-4843. See you there!

Mississippi
by Pearl Killingbeck

So happy to have had a visit with Sandra Cameron and Barry Hollywood last Sunday. They came to say good-bye now that the McEwen home is sold. It was great to see them both again and have a visit to reminiscence about years ago.

So sorry to hear that my sister-in-law Evelyn Killingbeck passed away last week. I am very thankful for all the visits from her and Denzel before she went in to hospital. A wonderful sweet sister-in-law. So sorry for Denzel and his boys and families. Rest in Peace, Evelyn.

Thank you, Bob DeLisle for taking me to get my hair done on Friday and Donna for bringing me home. Sorry, Elaine, to hear you were so sick and hope you are well now. Thanks to my son Rick for all the running that you have been doing for me.

A wonderful weekend with my friend Ruth Jackson from Barrie. She came for the Abrams concert in Kingston on Friday, then spent the night at the beautiful Rock Hill Bed and Breakfast in Sharbot Lake before coming to my place on Saturday.

Thank you to Alice for sitting with me for four hours while waiting for my cancer doctor to call me so she could write down everything he said to me. I am blessed with all these angels who help me so much.

My weekend ended with Ruth Jackson making a lovely supper for Harriet Riddell and myself and lots of visiting. Ruth did all the work so she didn’t get much time to herself. She left Sunday morning after I had a nurse from CBI come in to see me. A great weekend with Ruth and Harriet. Ruth will be back at the long weekend in July for a very special event – to celebrate Harriet’s 90th birthday and we are all looking forward to it.

Sending get well wishes to Morley Wark and anyone else in the community who is on the sick list.

The Annual General Meeting of the snowmobile club will be held on Thursday, May 4th at the clubhouse starting at 7pm. Your support and participation is needed to help the club stay active and maintain their trail system.

Ompah
by Linda Rush & Marily Seitz

Pickleball is officially underway for the season!  9 players gathered last Friday at the rink/pickleball courts at the Clar-Mill Hall.  They spent an hour or so laughing together and learning to hit the ball again after the winter layoff.   New to the sport players are welcome.  We have a few extra paddles if you just want to try it out.   Scheduled meeting times are totally dependent on the weather.  If you would like to receive emails about the next scheduled time, contact Liz at 613-806-4745 to add your name to the "pickle list".

The Birthday Bash will be held Wed, May 17 at 6pm at the hall. Just bring a dish to share, a toonie or so for the hall and an appetite as there is always a feast of good country cooking.  This month, Dominic, local singer/songwriter will share a couple of his tunes that are playing on the radio.  All are welcome.

The Parham Fair, Aug. 19 (wrong date in last weeks column) is accepting registrants for the Vendor Market.  For information email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Calling all Bridge and Euchre players.  Meet at the hall on Fridays from 1 to 4.  Cost is a toonie.  Players of all levels are welcome.

My bird seed bags are almost empty but the birds keep emptying the feeder.  I have flocks of purple finches, red winged blackbirds and some white crowned sparrows.  I also had one red breasted grosbeak.  Lovely. When the feed runs out, they are on their own.

Parham-Tichborne
by Elijah Abrams

Thinking of Merrilee Grey who underwent eye surgery recently.  Also special prayers go out to Dorothy Kehoe, Art Shaw and Lynn Smail.

Sure looks good the way the township is cleaning out the ditches after all the litter has been picked out of them.  Thanks to the faithful volunteers who worked tirelessly to clean up YOUR and my neighbourhood.  Remember that when you are done with your mask (yes, the one that protected you) don't throw it out your vehicle window as it will NOT protect the wildlife but instead will harm them!

The Legion held an Open Mic Music in the afternoon with many participants.  What a great way to spend a rainy, dreary Sunday.  Many great prize were won by some lucky folks.

The congregation enjoyed a delicious soup luncheon following the service on Sunday at Parham United Church.

Don't forget the next Lions Club Breakfast on the 20th.

Lots of fun was had at the Bingo Friday night at GREC in support of GREC and Land O'Lakes schools.  Some much needed funds were raised as it was a packed house with lots of lucky winners!!! Congratulations to all those winners and to all for coming out to support our local schools when they need us.

We were saddened to hear of the passing on the weekend of Heather Gillespie.  She was well known in the area and a volunteer with a huge heart.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time.

Don't forget the Pop Up Vendor Event in Sharbot Lake this weekend!  Right beside the dollar store, be sure to pop in to see all the goodies that will be available.

Wishing our May birthdays a very special day!

Tammy Dupuis, Sherry Whan, Mitch Cox, Nicole Power, Bonnie Lowery, Krista Bertrim, Hope Stinchcombe, Amy Lake, Howard Bertrim, Cam Jackson, Kevin Merrigan, Stella Lafaso, Stan Stinchcombe, Lyann Smith, Sam Lusk, Wanda Benn, Jane Neadow, Suzanne Meulenaar, Brooke Raymond, Nicki Hearns, Joye Wagar-Boals, Mary Raymond, Mason Lowery, Jan MacPherson, Heather Beattie, Janice Peters, William Lowery, Jared & Logan Whan, Jax Lafaso, Shawn McCullough, Dawn MacGregor, Leah Neumann, Sadie Lowery, Justin Riddell, Jody Steele, Kevin Hole, Anita Allen and Lillian Hartwick. Also anniversary wishes to Butch & Linda Teal, Natasha & Sam Lafaso and Kurtis & Annette Jackson.

Then, May 13th there will be the Giant Flea Market and Vendor Event at the Parham Ball Field.  District #4 Recreation Committee will have the canteen open as well as a bake table available.  It runs from 10am to 2pm.  If you are interested in having a table, you can message me at This email address is being protected from spambots.
