Thanks to Central Frontenac Roads, more specifically Lance Cowdy, for picking up the large pile of roadside trash we collected this past week.  Remember that Pitch-In Week starts April 17 -23rd and in the Frontenacs you can get bags from your township office and they will pick up your piles when you leave them roadside.  Give them a call to notify of where the bags are located, if any are overlooked. Maybe tackle your own street, ditch, or ravine to help clean up our community one section at a time, and thanks to everyone who pitches in year-round!

After a super duper Easter at Pine Meadow featuring Easter baskets for each resident, an easter egg hunt, gifts of chocolate squirrels, and a beautiful Easter church service our folks continue to rock on with thanks to all volunteers and contributors. Most recently Pine Meadow featured a Spa Day for the staff who are truly appreciated.

This Sat. April 22 all roads lead to Harlowe Hall for the open mike from 1- 5. The general Public admission is $5.00 and entertainers cost $2.00. Scrumptious food is available to purchase and this event is a real hoot!

The humming birds are on their way “home” for the summer and we look forward to their arrival, but first we are enduring the black flies!

The Highway 41 road repair north of Kaladar is a temporary one to ensure the road was open for Easter and to allow all emergency vehicles access. The road requires a larger culvert which is being sourced and until then the hole spanning is filled with rock, which is a bit on the bumpy side. When the culvert comes the road will be shut down again- temporarily. We must persevere everyone!

Bon Echo Provincial Park continues with on-going restoration as a result of the May 2022 derecho, resulting in certain sections of the park being unavailable specifically the Hardwood Hill campground, as well as the Abes and Essens trail and campsites #528, #529 and #530 which will be closed for the entire year. However, campsites #526 and #527 are scheduled to reopen on June 5th, 2023, but only with direct out-and-back trail access. Special thanks to the hard working staff for all their efforts.

The Perth and District Historical Society April 20, 2023 Meeting: The 1972 Hockey Summit Series - The Perth and District Historical Society welcomes everyone to its regular monthly meeting at 7:30pm on April 20, 2023. For this meeting, we’ll look at hockey blended with international politics. Sports is a language understood by all, and so the concept of using hockey, a game both Canada and the USSR were passionate about, to build a relationship between the two countries began. An idea for a hockey series with the best players of Canada from the NHL versus the best from the USSR was born. Our speaker is Gary J. Smith, now resident of Perth, and author of Ice War Diplomat: Hockey Meets Cold War Politics at the 1972 Summit Series. As Gary said in the forward to his book, “This intersection of hockey and history, history and diplomacy is the subject of this book.”

In 1968, Gary was just starting his career in Canada’s Foreign Service, finally arriving in Moscow in early 1971 after his posting to the Canadian Embassy there. Notably, he spoke Russian and played hockey with the Moscow Maple Leafs. While there were other books published commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Summit Series, Gary’s book is in the first person due to his front row seat throughout the entire process and the unique and integral role he played for the series. The 1972 Series is a story well worth learning about and for rekindling memories of our own. Note: Covid-19 precautions will be in place. The Perth and District Historical Society is dedicated to learning about and popularizing our history and is a forum for discussion and celebration of our area’s rich culture and heritage. The meetings are held the third Thursday of the month and are open to the public, at 7:30pm at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth-Upon-Tay, Branch 244, home of the Hall of Remembrance, 26 Beckwith St. E. in Perth. The usual “Toonie Fee” applies for each meeting but you don’t have to be a member to attend; the meeting is open to the public. For information, contact Ellen Dean at 613-264-8362. Our website at www.perthhs.org has additional information about us and items of interest related to Perth and district. Article submitted by the Perth and District Historical Society

Ompah
by Linda Rush & Marily Seitz

Calling all euchre players!  There will be a cards afternoon on Friday, April 21 at 1 at the Ompah Hall.  All levels of players are welcome. The Bridge Club will also be there as usual so you can choose your card game.  Cost is $2.00.

Spring has definitely sprung.  I have many different birds at the feeder.  The peepers and croakers are singing away in the swamps. Our local bittern has returned.  I dug a couple of garden beds and planted lettuce, kale, onions and peas. The only snow left are a few piles in the shade.  The ice on the lakes are very black and should disappear this week.  Last week it was lovely to be able to work outside in a t-shirt but that has changed this week.  Ahhh, the ups and downs of spring!

Parham-Tichborne
by Elijah Abrams

What glorious Spring (or rather Summer) weather we have been having!  Sure is nice to wake up hearing the birds chirping, frogs singing and not have to wear multi layers!  Be careful of sunburning!

Volunteers - where would our community be without them?  They are the heart and soul of every community .  A volunteer is one who gives of their times, talent, love and dedication without looking for rewards. However, the District #4 Recreation Committee wanted to thank the numerous volunteers who have helped them either by picking up garbage, helping run the canteen at the ball game or helping at one of the other events they run.  A roast beef supper complete with all the trimmings cooked by locals Tim & Penny Cota was enjoyed by all.  Fifteen year member Mary Howes was presented with a certificate for all her work and dedication.  A tree had been planted in her honour at the ball field as well.

Oddfellows Bingos are running in full force at the OSO Hall in Sharbot Lake on Friday evenings, be sure to check them out!

Speaking of BINGO, there will be one at GREC on April 28 hosted by Parent Council.

Sincere condolences to the family of the late Rick Brown, as well as to Ruth Brown.

Melody Cooke had a taste testing party for Epicure products which she is now selling.  If you need anything, be sure to let her know.

Thinking of you to Adam Scott.

Most of the roads look much better with the litter being picked up.  Let's keep it that way.

Don't forget the Lion's Club Breakfast that is coming up.

Baseball season is quickly approaching - once teams are finalized and coaches have been secured, you will be hearing from the coach about practices.  Just a reminder that payment and the form needs to be sent in to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. in order for your child to be on a team.  If you haven't done so, please send those in as teams have been capped at 13 so you don't want to miss out.

Looking for something to do this weekend? The Sydenham's Women's Institute is having a Spring Craft and Bake Sale on Saturday, April 22 from 9am to 2pm at the Golden Links Hall in Harrowsmith.  Sure to be something for everyone there!
