Denbigh

Happy New Year!   Hopefully everyone had a safe and enjoyable Christmas Season in spite of some of the bad weather.

The Stationary Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 17th at Heritage Park in Denbigh was very well attended by all ages, from babies to seniors. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped the Denbigh Recreation Committee set up and take apart as it made the job go by quickly.   Santa, Mrs. Clause and the Elves were very busy visiting with the children. We would like to thank Rosie’s for coming to the parade and donating the Fireworks which were amazing.  Bev Tucker, Bonnie Thompson and Erin Hopewell and family had a special float with lots of Elves watching over Denbigh.  Casey Keller Skidding with Klayton Keller driving brought the log truck all decked out in lights.  Lucky Dog Grooming with Katrina, Darian and Gracelyn were there to advertise her new business with lots of bright lights.  The Denbigh Griffith Lions Club members had lots of blow-ups and lights.  Addington Highlands Township brought the road grader all lit up.  Denbigh Fire Department is always a big part of the fun and they brought three trucks lit up with colorful lights, and they also set up and managed the fireworks.  Jenny, Rob and Gracie set up Crafts in the rink building which many children enjoyed.  And David and Karen diligently managed the bonfire for all to enjoy.    And for sure we cannot forget Ernie Berndt who kindly lent the beautiful sleigh for the reindeer to pull around the park.   There were so many attendees that we eventually ran out of free food.   It was a fantastic white winter’s evening with a lot of community socialization as everyone worked their way around visiting with the floats and others in our community.   Also, your donations are very much appreciated.  We can’t thank you all enough for giving up your time and celebrating Christmas at Heritage Park.

The Denbigh Recreation would like to thank everyone in the community for taking part in the Christmas Lights Contest.   There were a tremendous number of nicely decorated homes in our area, so it was not easy picking the winners.  1st prize went to Jack and Sharon Dore, 2nd prize to Lloyd and Lorna Burgess and 3rd prize to Ronnie and Pam Rosenblath.   Honorable mentions go to Doug and Shelly Gregg and Brian and Elizabeth Jackson.

Our Pine Meadow people rocked on at Christmas by making their very own Ugli sweaters to celebrate in a fashionable style, and enjoying special music and choirs from all over with one such being the Vennachar Free-Methodist Church Choir who brought celebratory donuts. Gingerbread house making, touring the light display at Riverhill Farms and enjoying Christmas cards from Mrs. Cassidy's Grade 5 class of Tweed Elementary School and the grade 4 class of Mrs. Grant's at North Addington Education Centre all made for a memorable time.

Christmas Eve brought a blizzard and a state of emergency declared with special thanks to our road crews and families for all their extra efforts. So thanks to all who risked their lives and livelihoods when driving on Christmas Eve.

Maberly-Bolingbroke
Karen Prytula

Maberly News from January 1888- [The following is a little hard to understand; I guess you had to be there!] - This morning the election opened with splendid sleighing, and people came in swarms to the polls to cast their votes. The election was a close and hot one. The would-be reeves were on hand, and fought with vigour, for their election; Mr. Achison spending a part of his time soliciting votes and in sending teams after voters. He was elected by the narrow majority of nine. Only one new councillor was elected; Isaac Korry. Mr. Achison was then called upon to address the audience. With his hair brushed for the occasion, a standing collar, and his broadcloth overcoat buttoned from neck to flap, opened his address by thanking the rate payers of South Sherbrooke for giving him the election, and to the Maberly correspondent of the Perth Courier for writing ditties from time to time, which helped to give him the election. At the same time he thought he was doing me an injury, and says “while in Perth last week I met a gentlemen on the street and was asked ‘who is that correspondent for the Courier you have; is he a friend of yours?’ I says, well – with a step and head downward – if you know him as well as he is known and where he came from you would think but very little of his reputation.” ‘He says we will have to white cap him out of the village as they cow-hided him out of another place.’ “I have one friend I shall always know; he always wears a black cap, and occasionally a black eye, who will never be cow-hided out of Maberly for sticking to the truth.” He [Achison] spent the principal part of his address in aligning slang on and about the correspondent who is a quiet, un-offensive citizen – who is a lover of fair play – dwelt for a time on the $100 fox bounty, and touched on the spring grasshopper plague, and, on what great achievements he had effected since had had been in power. He says “I am an honest man and a Christian”, and as he had done his duty as a man, asked Mr. Ritchie why he should oppose him. He forgot to mention the state of our bridge, the boards he put on, the cheese factory, and bank notes, but remembered the $10 school fund.

[still 1888] A wedding occurred last Wednesday when Miss Nellie Leach, of Oso, and Mr. John McFarlane, of Lanark, were united in marriage. They will take up their residence in Peterborough. He is a shoemaker.

[still 1888] Milton Rigney pass his examination in Perth, this being his first attempt!

Ompah
by Linda Rush & Marily Seitz

Welcome 2023.  We hope everyone had a lovely holiday filled with fun, food, family and friends followed by some quiet time.  2023 looks to be busier with more events planned after the Covid years.

The next Birthday Bash pot luck community dinner will be held on Wednesday, January 18 at 6pm.  There was a good crowd out for the December 'Bash'.  Laurie had to be away but asked us to sing Happy Birthday loudly so she could hear it in North Bay so we sang to Laurie, Jeff and Lorrie – yes, loudly!  Thanks to John, Linda and Leane for leading the carol singing.  It ended up being the only community carol sing as caroling around the village had to be cancelled due to the snow storm.

A day to celebrate Canadian diversity will be held on Saturday, January 28 at the Clar-Mill Hall from 1pm-2pm. The Consuls General from Bulgaria and Romania and North Frontenac Township present a time to talk of our three countries and how Plevna history joins them together. There will be free food and wine and everyone is welcome to attend.

Regularly scheduled Community Centre activities are: Coffee and Chat every Wednesday at 10, exercise Tues and Thurs from 10-11, Birthday Bash every 3rd Wednesday at 6pm.  Please put in a toonie for each event to help pay for the hall.  Ompah Community Library opens Wed and Sat. from 10am to 12noon.  There is no charge to borrow books and, DVD's and to access wifi.  The library is run by volunteers and donations of cash and newer books

While the holidays were hopefully a happy time, there is sad news in the township. Counselor Gerry Martin passed away after a short illness. His Celebration of Life was held at the Clar-Mill Hall on Saturday, January 7.  The hall was filled with people celebrating the fine man that he was, the love that he had for the area and his service to our community.  Our condolences to his family.

LeeAnna White passed away just 12 days shy of her 108th birthday. Her Celebration of Life was held on Friday, January 6 at Milestone Funeral Centre in Northbrook.  The hall was full of well wishers. LeeAnna was a remarkable woman who was a large presence in the community for so many years. Our condolences to her family.

Plevna
by Rhonda Watkins

Hello 2023! 

I invite you to contact me with any community items you would like to see in our Plevna column: events, special occasions, interesting wildlife sightings, anything that you think others in our community would enjoy as well.

If you are planning on venturing out on the ice, please check it frequently. The ice levels are very unstable right now. 

Please keep your eyes open for a beautiful Rottweiler around Plevna area. Our new neighbour, Lorraine Taylor and her husband on James Road, have had a run of bad luck this past weekend. Their two year old Rottie chased a deer off James Road and may have gone through the ice on Buckshot Creek. They searched for hours, but had no luck. They don't know if he got out of the river or not. His name is Oban, she says he is a big sweetie and is wearing a lime green collar. Please let me know if you see him and  I can forward you onto the Taylors. Thank you in advance.

9 out of 24 people weighed out Jan 8, after a very tough 9 week weight loss challenge through the holiday season. Congratulations to Betty Hunter! She won the $300 first prize for losing 5.6 pounds and earning a 2.96 percent weight loss. Tara Mieske came in second, winning $200 and losing 2.9 pounds and earning 1.8 percent, Kelly Watkins came in third, winning $75 and losing 2.3 pounds and earning 1.37 percent, and Tammy Mepstead won her $25 entry fee back and lost 1.8 pounds, earning 1.33 percent. I didn't even lose anything, but I consider it a personal victory because I didn't gain anything either. Congratulations to all the winners and good luck to everybody that signed up for our next 8 week challenge that runs from Jan 8 to Mar 4. 

Here is a nice Social and Craft time for the ladies in the area to come out and make new friends! It's every Thursday starting at 10am at the Clar-Mill Hall at 6598 Buckshot Lake Rd in Plevna. Bring your lunch. The group provides the coffee and tea. For more information you can contact Carlie Rainville at 613-479-8023 or just show up. The ladies hope to see you there!

December was a very rough month for many people in our community. There were so many that lost loved ones. Deepest condolances to all the family and friends of Merle Lemke, Councilor Gerry Martin, Grace Tooley, Chuck Young, Marian Hertendy, Mel Peters, Ted Moberly and LeeAnna White, who would have been celebrating her 108th birthday this week. God bless.
