Arden
by Wanda Harrison

How is the caterpillar situation at your place?  Ours is horrible.  For the second year, our trees have been stripped almost bare.  I’m told the overhead spraying is killing the little beasts but I’m still on the fence about how damaging it could be to the rest of our wild life friends.  I’m sure I’m not alone with these thoughts but I don’t know how much longer we can put up with this onslaught. 

Rural Frontenac Community Services has collaborated with the Galen Eye Centre and will be hosting an Ocular Assessment Screening session on July 19, 2021 to focus on the health of your eyes.  The session is open to everyone but you must make an appointment to participate.  Please call 613-279-3151 for more information or to book an appointment.

Congratulations to Emerson Chatwin, who received the 2021 award for the Most Improved Student in the Grade jk/sk/1/2 class.  Though this year has been especially challenging, it is certainly evident that parental guidance and patience make an enormous impression on the children and their ability to improve.  Good work, Brooke and Jordon!

Thank you, Jeff Green and staff, for keeping us up-to-date with the Covid facts.  We all appreciate it.

Thank you to the heavens for opening up and sharing the much-needed rain.

A COVID positive!  Joyce, in Braeside, decided with time on her hands and obeying social distancing, she would find old friends by social media and telephone.  She found Judy (Boyd) Borovskis.  What a surprise for me to get a call this week!  It has been 52 years since we shared an apartment for one year in Ottawa! Four of us were in the apartment.  Wendy and I were at Ottawa Teachers College, Joyce was starting to teach and Kay was starting at the Royal Ottawa Hospital.  Three of us were from the Morrisburg area and worked together at Upper Canada Village.  Kay lived next to me in residence at Queens.  With a little detective work, all four of us are now connected on email and telling “remember when” stories!  Kraft Dinner was our main staple that year and as we took turns cooking, it was a contest who could be more creative.  Kay lives in Alberta but on her next visit to Ontario we hope to get together for dinner… I’ve promised to cook and you can guess what will be on the menu!

Mississippi
by Pearl Killingbeck

After a scorching hot week about a week or so ago, it is so good to get some rain and cooler temperatures.  Loving the rain. I hate the humidity and bugs.  Perfect temperature for me is 22 degrees and no humidity.  I want to thank Ruth Wark for her lovely chicken and dumplings, tea biscuits, cookies and donuts (don’t you wish you were me?).  I had a great visit with Mary Gemmill.  So nice to see Mary.  Thank you for coming and for the flowers.  Thank you, Donna Virgin, for the lovely bouquet of fresh picked flowers from your garden last Sunday morning.  They are lovely.   Thank you Dennis and Donna Morrow for the scratch tickets and card.  I am not a millionaire, but I won $20 so I feel like a millionaire with all my wonderful friends.  I felt like a baby taking its first steps on Friday.  When I was getting ready to take my car out for the first drive since the first week of February, it wouldn’t start so I called up my saviour, Ron Gilchrist, and he got it going for me.  I finally got to see the store at McDonalds Corners since it has changed hands.  It is lovely.  I had to go in and have a peek to see what they had done and went in to pick up some goodies, also, which I enjoyed. 

Some June birthdays:  Phillip Wark, Darcy Killingbeck, John Kirkham, Barb Crain, Trisha Mumby, Emily Riddell, Brook and Nelson Hannah, Donna Virgin, Olive Allan (92 years young), Bob Olmstead, Wayne Abrams, Amber Armstrong, Bob Lemke, Rose Riddell, Bill Raeburn (80 years young), Gerry Lichty, and Sandy Ryder.  Happy 48^th anniversary to Sandy and Lorie Ryder and Ron and Alice Gilchrist, and happy 56^th anniversary to Bev and Gordon Patterson.

I want to thank Bev Ladurantaye and June and Olive for the visit on Thursday afternoon.  Thank you for the fruit basket and the orchid.  Nice to see them.  I love my friends.  They are so special.

Special birthday greetings to Olive Allan (92) and Donna Virgin (70).  I took Olive for a birthday drive on Friday after we got the car going.  Thanks a million, again, to Ron Gilchrist, who made it all possible.  Ron got a butterscotch pie but all Olive got was a drive, a donut and a coffee.

Love all that beautiful rain that God provided for us.  Remember: always share.  Remember and cherish your friends.  Good friends are the sprinkles on your sundae, the peanut butter on my jelly, the rainbow in my clouds, a bee on my flower, the bottle cap on my water bottle.  All my friends make me laugh, share my joys and sorrows, always encourage me, all step in to help.  They are my biggest fans.  They’re at every milestone and hold my hand and my heart.  They give you a shoulder to cry on if you need it.  I will be this kind of friend to all of you ‘cause you are that kind of friend to me.  Where would I be without all of my wonderful friends?  You know who you are.

Parham-Tichborne
by Colleen Steele & Christine Teal

Did you catch the "Strawberry Moon" last Thursday, marking the start of the summer season?  This is the last "Super Moon" for this year.

Big thank you to all who gave to the Lions Club project of recycling and donating so that they can help others.  Every little bit helps, especially during this pandemic.

Sincere condolences to the family of the late Floyd Deyo.  Floyd taught many students at the Hinchinbrook Public School and could be found after his retirement at many of the track and field meets in Kingston.  Floyd also was "rock solid"  goalie for the Godfrey Goodtimers hockey team old timer division and enjoyed our church dinners, especially the cherry pies!  Also thinking of the family of the late Ivan Porter.

Canada Day this year will be different, not only because of the pandemic but will be saddened with all the discoveries of the unmarked graves.

Happy birthday to our July readers!  Gil Putnam, Sue Peters, Zac Woodcock, Joe Rothwell, Christine Teal, Nicole Tibble, Kalib Neadow, Shawn Godfrey, Justin Harper, Luke Asselstine, Leslie Cronk, Phil TIbble, David Lowery, Aadan Kempe, Amaya Silva, Lisa Teal, Graeme Gemmill, Levi Teal, Simon Gowdy, Zac Teal, Joe Asselstine, Shay Dekroon, Bill Fox, Megen Hole, Jordan Lowery, Natasha Gray, Rose LaPointe, Courtney Meeks, Laura Clarke, Matthew McMahon, Dave Whan, Merrilee Gray, Diana Meeks, Wayne Bush, Roley Irwin, Emma Cronk, Bonnie MacLean, Shelley Welch, Tisha Wilton, Roxy Drapeau, Josh Price, Boyce Bertrim, Drew Bertrim, Dave Teal, Kathy Cota, Tammy Bentley, Dan Bush, Coleman Benn, Harlan Skuce.

Happy anniversary wishes to Dwayne & Judy Meeks, Dave & Dawn Hansen, Will & Melody Cooke, Lish & Mike Thompson.

Plevna
by Rhonda Watkins

When I was contacted last week, by a very sweet gal who was organizing a fundraiser to put a buddy bench at our Sand Lake Community Beach through the Baseball For Dad campaign, I thought, “what a nice idea”! I had no idea what Baseball For Dad was about, but I just knew I wanted to learn more! I went to my trusty laptop and began googling. I barely got through Mark Snider’s story because of the tears filling up my eyes! Mark’s Mother shared with her whole heart and his family has organized this campaign to help knock the stigma out of the park about mental health and suicide in his memory!  As a family, they have committed to placing one glove a month somewhere around the world. Their hopes are that the recipient of these gloves visit their website or social media pages and share their story and read the stories of others. Through communication and sharing, they will bring awareness to mental health and end the stigma that comes with it. Thank you very much to Brooke and Heidi Hawley, the funding organizers for Sand Lake Beach, for bringing this awareness to our community! They have coordinated with the Township of North Frontenac, through Baseball For Dad, to have Mark’s Buddy Bench placed at our lovely Sand Lake Community Beach here in Plevna! In less than 24 hours, they gathered donations from many generous businesses in the area to have the bench made by RJK Welding, who is kindly building it at cost! It is intended to promote kindness, friendship and inclusivity, while ending the negative stigma of mental health issues and suicide. In the words of The Snider Family, “It's ok not to be ok!”

As another school year comes to an end, big congratulations to our community's Grade 8 graduates: Dylan England, Owen Gilpin, Gabby Lemke and  Konner Manion and to our Grade 12 Graduates Gregory Ross and Sarah Watkins! Wishing you guys all the best in September when you start the next chapter of your lives!!

Clarendon Central Public School Parent Council is thankful for the generous donation by Brian & Leane Bailey for April’s auction items! They included a gift certificate to have your pet's portrait done by the Bailey’s and two gift baskets full of cat and dog goodies! Hopefully it's not too late to place a bid at Lookout Home Hardware!!

If you are looking to get in some fitness, Holly Labow will be having workouts Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5pm and Sundays at 10am. Classes will be at the park at Clar-Mill Hall in Plevna. Any questions can be directed to Holly at (613) 479-2166.

Don’t forget to stop by St Killians Church Bake Sale this Saturday, July 3^rd from 10-1 at 5984 Ardoch Road for a large assortment of goodies to enjoy!! Covid protocols will be in place to keep everyone safe!

As of tomorrow, July 2^nd , with stage 2 beginning in Ontario, The Kingston Frontenac Public Library will be opening its doors back up to the public with Covid protocols in place. You will not have to use curbside pickup any longer. Three patrons at a time will be welcomed back into the Plevna library branch!

Very exciting news for all of you spa lovers out there! Holly Labow; owner and operator of Polished Spa Services has opened up again on June 30^th! There is a large waiting list, but you can give her a call or contact her on Facebook. She is currently booking after July 19^th! This may come in handy for an anniversary gift, Lonnie Watkins - wink wink!!

Here’s to wishing all of our community a happy, healthy and safe Canada Day!!

Sydenham
by Karen Brawley

Happy birthday, Canada! Though we aren’t able to gather at our usual Canada day festivities this year, be thankful we live in the country we do and we have come this far in the pandemic. Vaccines are available for those who wish to obtain one, to help us fight Covid.  We’ve learned so much over the last year and a half.  Most importantly, we’ve learned how resilient we can be and as challenging as this has been, we continue to be one heck of a village. Way to go, Sydenham.

To the graduating classes from our local schools: job well done, kids.  The graduation ceremonies were different but you guys did it, made it through the year, and are on to new adventures next year.  Congratulations, graduates, and THANK YOU to each and every one of you who has made the best of this school year.  I think even some parents and grandparents have learned some new subjects by helping the kids haha. 

As we enter the next phase of re opening, wishing all our local hair dressers good luck, you’ve been missed.

Keep it up, Sydenham. Keep safe and keep smiling. We got this.

Verona
Debbie Lingen

Canada was shocked by the findings at the two residential schools. This tragic loss of lives of young children must not be forgotten.

Let us never forget.
