Time on My Hands
Summer Reading
Yesterday I was reading the new edition
of the "Oli-Poo News" and while reading
Cindy's article I was inspired to stop and
make myself a peanut butter and jam
sandwich. See the influence her stories
have on people.
"It was a dark and stormy night". I've
mentioned that I like this line. I've seen
articles that talk about the first lines of
books. I sometimes read the first line of a
book and say "Wow". They just pull you
in.
On one of the first warm days in March I
took a walk around Rosslyn. It was one
of those times that I really wanted to say
to someone "Aren't you glad you live out
here". As I walked and soaked up the sun
I thought - I should write something
about some of my favourite books and
their first lines. So...I trotted back to the
library and picked up a few of my
favourite books. Maybe you'll find one to
add to your summer reading list:
by Karen Craib
"Can't Wait To Get To Heaven"
by Fannie Flagg
First line "After Elner Shimfissle accidentally poked that wasps' nest up in her fig
tree, the last thing she remembered was
thinking "Uh-oh".
I think I've read most of Fannie Flagg's
books. Maybe you don't know her name,
but you may have seen the well known
movie based on her book "Fried Green
Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe". I
still think of it if I'm walking near train
tracks.
This novel begins with Elner's fall off a
ladder while picking figs and her quick trip
to the E.R. Local beautician Tot Whooten
calls Elner's nervous niece Norma (who's
prone to fainting) to let her know. Tot witnessed Elner's fall off the ladder followed
by a swarm of angry wasps.
What follows is the impact her accident
has on the residents of Elmwood Springs.
When she gets to the hospital Norma is
shocked to find out her Aunt Elner has
passed away.
Meanwhile, Elner waits and wonders why
her niece isn't there

to take her home. She got out of bed and
unable to locate anyone takes an elevator
to somewhere she's never been. The first
person she encounters is her sister Ida, her
late sister Ida.
You'll fall in love with the characters of
this small Missouri town. The book is
touching and funny and has beautiful
imagery describing the afterlife.
I enjoy books that describe various versions of Heaven. Another one I really
liked was "Elsewhere" by Gabrielle
Zevin.I think anyone who's suffered the
loss of a loved one should read it.I've even
given it as a gift.
So - pour yourself an iced tea, sit down
and enjoy.
"At Home In Mitford"
by Jan Karon
First line "He left the coffee-scented
warmth of the Main Street Grill and stood
for a moment under the green awning".
I read this book at a time when I was in
need of an escape. I had a suspicious mole
removed in November 2001. I then waited
4 months to get the biopsy results (it was
Melanoma).
I recall a winter evening sitting on a
lounge by the pool at Barkers Island
Hotel. I immersed myself in the lives of
the people of Mitford (only pausing
briefly to ask my husband sitting in the
jacuzzi "How's the diarrhea"? I don't think
the man he was chatting with was familiar
with that t.v. commercial).
Mitford is so vivid in my imagination that
I keep looking for it.
The book centres around Father Tim, the
bachelor rector at The Lords Chapel. It
starts out with a chance encounter with a
large black muddy dog, who soon
becomes his best friend, Barnabas.
There are so many wonderful characters
such as his attractive new neighbour
Cynthia Coppersmith, a children's book
author. Then there's a little red haired
named Dooley. His sick mother is unable
to take care of him and he becomes a big
part of Father Tim's life. There's far too
many characters to talk about and once
again I feel like I know all of them.
The library doesn't carry this book, but
they can borrow it on Interlibrary Loan
Several years ago Jan Karon announced
the end of the series. Sigh! But - surprise,
last year she put out a new one, mostly
revolving around Dooley and by the time I
turned the last page I was in tears.
"One For The Money"
by Janet Evanovich
First line "There are some men who enter
a woman's life and screw it up forever".
A co-worker suggested I read this book.
When I picked it up there were already 10
titles in the series. After this one I was
hooked and read the others ravenously.
With each new book I pour over the pages
and feel sad when I get to the last one.
Then I wait - for the next one.
After losing her job New Jersey resident
Stephanie Plum lands a job in her cousin
Vinnie's bail bond company. Her first bail
jumper is vice squad cop, Joe Morelli. He
and Stephanie go way back. Can she bring
in Joe and not get herself killed?
I love the characters in this series. I feel
like I know them. Among my favourites is
her gun toting Grandma Mazur. Then
there's her friend Lula, a larger than life
prostitute with a penchant for Spandex, in
a size or two too small. She has a hearty
appetite for donuts and Cluck In A Bucket.
And then there's Ranger. He has his own
company, dressed head to toe in black and
has a stable of expensive vehicles. He's
tall, dark and handsome and a man of few
words. When he says "Babe" it can mean
many things.
I didn't go to see the movie made from this
book. By then I had my own idea of who
should play the characters. And it sure
wasn't the people they cast.
I'm betting that if you read this book you
too will want to read all 22 books in the
series.
"Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling
Funeral" by Kris Radish
First line "There is a hole the size of a golf
ball in the right side of Katherine Givin's
black Bali bra".
This was the first Kris Radish book I read,
but it wasn't the last.
As she is stressing over her lingerie
Katherine's doorbell rings. It's someone
from UPS with a box for her. Inside is an
envelope, note and a pair of red tennis
shoes that hold the ashes of her friend
Annie. Sometime later she opens the envelope to find Annie's last wishes. Addressed
to Katherine and 4 other close friends, are
the plans for a traveling funeral. These 5
women from various parts of Annie's life
will travel together to New Mexico,
Florida, New York, the north shore of
Lake Superior and an island near Seattle.
At each stop they will scatter her ashes.
Her note ends " I am the whisper of the
wind at every stop. I am there - with you".
Thus begins their quest to give Annie the
funeral of her wishes. It's a journey of discovery, as they learn about each other and
the many sides of Annie.
It will make you laugh and cry. In fact,
after skimming the pages to write this, I
decided to read it again and enjoyed it just
as much.
"Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons"
by Lorna Landvik
First line "I knew all about having my life
saved".
This is one of my favourite books my
Lorna. I think my other favourite is "Patty
Jane's House Of Curl". She has just finished writing the sequel to it. I can hardly
wait to read it.
The story centers around the members of a
book club. And what's Lorna's definition
of what makes a good book club - "good
conversation, good food and plenty of
wine". Much more than a book club this
group of women find that with the right
friends you can get through almost anything.
We follow them from the late 60's to the
late 90's, through having babies to having
grandchildren. Through laughter and tears
and we watch these friends take care of
each other. If one is in trouble, the others
are there to help. If you're a woman who is
blessed with your own little circle of
friends, I'm sure you will enjoy this book.
One reviewer described this book as "A
lively story as delectable as a five-pound
box of chocolates", well put.
"Confessions Of A Shopaholic"
by Sophie Kinsella
First line (of Chapter one) "OK. Don't
panic. Don't panic. It's only a VISA bill".
This is the first book in the Shopaholic
series. It too was made into a movie
(which I haven't seen). Hmmm. Had I
been here when "Gone With The Wind"
was released, would I have wanted to see
the movie? When I was a teenager I saw it
at the theatre. Ive seen it on t.v. and I own
a copy. Thus explains our dogs - Scarlett
and Rhett.
Anyway.,...I think the Shopaholic books
are a perfect beach read. They're fluff and
they're fun. The perfect reading material
when you're sitting by a pool in Las Vegas.
Or on a lounge in your own backyard,
maybe sipping one of my favourite summer drinks. When I worked at the start of
my summer vacation I'd buy a bottle of
Fresca and a bottle of cranberry cocktail.
They are delicious together, a perfect summer drink.
London resident Becky Bloomwood likes
shopping. I mean she really likes shopping. With the bank and credit card company hot on her tail Becky comes up with
all sorts of crazy schemes to hold them off.
Meanwhile, she's turning shopping into an
art. It's a fun, relaxing read and will probably leave you wanting to read the next
book in the series.
If you're heading out on vacation to a hot
spot, be sure to slip it into your luggage.
And if you borrow it from the library,
you'll save yourself $16.95. Now that's
good shopping.
So stop by the library this summer to pick
up your summer reading, then pour yourself something cold and just relax. I hope
you have a great summer. Enjoy!

The Oliver Paipoonge News, July 2016 page 11
Chix
in the Stix
My roots are showing. I didn’t realize it until someone pointed it out to
me. Even if I had, I wouldn’t have
cared. I’m past the age of worrying
about what other people think. But
it did make me a bit curious.
Because apparently your roots are
showing too.
I was told, more than once within a
My Roots Are Showing
week, by different people that us rural folks are living
an alternative lifestyle. You may not think of it that
way. I certainly didn’t. But our rural ways of doing
things are in fact not the norm. Most of you probably
had no idea you were colouring so far outside the lines.
Bet you didn’t know you were so radical. Dude.
The dictionary defines alternative as: offering or
expressing a choice; different from the usual or conventional; existing or functioning outside the established social or economic system.
I can live with that. Most of us are here by choice. And
statistically, the majority of the population doesn’t have
dozens of laying hens in their yard, or rabbits, or pet
ducks, and pet pigeons or goats or sheep or cows or
horses or whatever creatures reside at your place.
Statistically, most
people
aren’t
splitting
firewood to heat their
homes, or hunting
and
foraging,
often on their own
property, for items
on their grocery
list. Most people
don’t make their
own jam or pickles, or sausage.
And these days it
isn’t the norm to
live without a
dishwasher or a
clothes dryer or
have teens that
survive without
iPhones. But it is
the norm for us. I
just sometimes
forget what our
lives look like to
by Cindy Harasen
someone on the outside. Until someone described it to
me. They held up a mirror and the reflection caught me
off guard. It was amusing and I was actually quite
charmed by what I saw. Not just the glimpse of my
roots, but of yours too. They look mighty fine to me.
And then something else happened. I had the opportunity to meet a group of mostly urban teens in a pseudonature environment. This was an eye-opener. It reminded me that there are some youth (and adults) who have
never walked in an actual real live forest. I’m not talking about a paved bike path through some trees planted
by the city crew, or a virtual reality experience, no matter how good the graphics are. I’m talking about a real
forest walk. A real forest bath. The kind where you
immerse yourself completely. Where all your senses are
engaged. Where no electronics are allowed. Where
talking is minimal or even non existent. Where there is
nothing but what you can see, hear, feel, smell, taste and
think about in that moment. I was reminded that even
in our modest City of Thunder Bay there are busy people with busy lives and they often just don’t take the
time. But many of them would if encouraged to do so.
So that might just be our role in all this. All we radical
country folks with our alternative choices might just be
the ones who can turn this thing around. Because how
can you really save the planet if you haven’t even listened to it speak. How can you save the planet if you
haven’t stopped talking or texting long enough to look
around and take it all in. I don’t think you can.
No rural residents can deny the connection between man
and nature. It’s right outside our door. It’s waiting for
us when we open our eyes in the morning. When we see
the dew on the fields or see the sunset in the valley, or
witness the powerful summer storms, or the breath-taking sky on a clear night. Seriously, there are kids from
the city who have never stood in a field on a clear night
and witnessed the magnitude of the universe, or heard
the almost deafening chorus of frogs and toads, or the
geese or cranes flying over…and so much more. That
breaks my heart.
So, my challenge to you this summer is to make it happen. Invite a family for a visit. Especially a family with
kids. Take them on a forest walk, or a visit to a neighbour’s farm. Let them feed chickens and hold rabbits
and catch frogs and pick wild flowers and grow things
and make things and just be. Make them leave their
phones at home (or at least in the car). Teach them how
to be still and silent. Share with others the wonders of
this ‘alternative’ way of life we have all chosen. You
might not convert them but I’m sure you’ll send them
home afterwards with some nature in their hair, and
under their fingernails, a new perspective in their pocket and hopefully a change of heart.

CHIEF’S
CORNER
by Mike Horan, Fire Chief
As I write this we are
coming off two days HOT 28 and 30
degree temperatures! Finally.
We will again be attending the
Strawberry Social on July 14. Along
with our fish pond we have a new
fire safety maze for the youngsters.
Come out and give it a try.
Summer means biking season.
Please ensure your child wears a
safety helmet. I know it might not be
cool, but the protection it gives in a
fall can be lifesaving.
Once again, I would like to spend a
bit of time to explain the reason for
the municipal bylaw and the need for
fire permits. The main concern is a
controlled fire getting out of control
and injuring someone or destroying
property. This is much more apt to
happen during the day, as opposed to
the evening or night.
This is due to the diurnal effect. To
explain, during the daylight starting
in the morning, the sun heats up the
land, raising the temperature. This
rising temperature does two things.
First, the warmer the temperature,
the lower the relative humidity. As
the humidity drops, the fine or small
fuels dry out and become more easily ignited. This ease of ignition
means that a fire will spread much
faster as it takes less energy to ignite
the grass or fuels. The faster it
spreads, the harder it is to stop and
extinguish. It is a regular occurrence
for the humidity to be at a night time
high of 85% and drop to 30 or 40%
be mid afternoon. This is one of the
main reasons fires stop spreading
and are reduced to smoldering at
night and start to flare up and burn
rapidly by mid morning.
The second thing that happens is that
normally the winds increase during
the day due to daytime heating. We
know that as the wind increases,
fires spread much more rapidly and
are harder to contain as sparks and
burning embers will be blown in the
wind across into unburned fuel and
ignite and spread.
The balance and challenge we face
is to allow people to burn brush and
yard debris, but in a safe environment.
Our Municipality is very fortunate
and can be proud of all our volunteers for their dedication and professionalism in providing both fire and
emergency services whenever needed. The volunteers respond to over
360 emergency responses each year
with a high of 412 calls. When you
see them out training, or taking a
few moments to enjoy the summer,
take a second to let them know their
efforts are appreciated.
My final comment is to update
everyone on our fire fleet. With the
final pumper here and in service our
council
has
ensured
our
Municipality has a currant and state
of the art fire protection fleet which
will lead our fire and emergency services into the future.
As always,
Have a safe month
Lakehead Region Conservation
Authority Submitted by LRCA Staff
At
the
Lakehead
Region
Conservation Authority’s (LRCA)
2016 Annual Meeting in January,
Mervi
Henttonen,
General
Manager/Secretary-Treasurer,
advised the LRCA Board of her
retirement, effective July 1st, 2016.
Ms. Henttonen has been a part of
the LRCA for over 42 years, and
her
contributions
to
the
organization over the years have
been immense. As of July 4th,
2016, the LRCA welcomes Tammy
Cook as the Chief Administrative
Officer. Ms. Cook previously held
the position of Watershed Manager
with the LRCA.
The LRCA administers Ontario
Regulation 180/06: Development,
Interference with Wetlands and
Alterations to Shorelines and
Watercourses
under
the
Conservation Authorities Act
within its Area of Jurisdiction.
Development
within
the
Approximated Regulated Area may
require a Permit from the LRCA.
Development that commences prior
to receiving a Permit is subject to
double the fee. Permit applications
are available at the LRCA
Administrative Office at 130
Conservation Road or can be
downloaded from the LRCA
website (www.lakeheadca.com).
A number of publications and fact
sheets related to this topic are
available
at
the
LRCA
Administrative Office and on our
website. As of June 1st, 2016, the
Fee Schedule has been updated.
Please refer to our website or call us
at (807) 344-5857 for details.
Some exciting work has recently
taken place at Mission Island Marsh
Conservation Area. The LRCA
received a Great Lakes Guardian
Community Fund grant for erosion
mitigation work at the Mission.
This work consisted of the planting
of some hearty vegetation in an
effort to create a more effective
riparian buffer, along with the
relocation of a section of trail.
Additionally,
an
innovative
approach was taken to protect the
new riparian zone utilizing coconut
fibre logs. These rolls of coconut
fibre are a naturally biodegradable
product that absorbs water and
becomes extremely heavy. As the
waterlogged rolls settle, they create
a sturdy barrier between the water
and the shoreline vegetation. After
approximately three years, the
coconut fibre logs will have
naturally decomposed, however the
riparian vegetation will have been
afforded the protection required for
substantial root bases to take hold
and strengthen the shoreline.
Although every effort is being made
to slow down erosion at Mission
Island Marsh Conservation Area, it
is important to remember that
erosion cannot be stopped. A
special thank you goes out to the
teachers and student volunteers of
Churchill High School for their
assistance with the shoreline
planting.

CELEBRATE!
It may sound strange, but being
church is actually hard work. No,
I'm not thinking of the many meetings and reports and committees and
events and that are part of being
church. After all, that's the kind of
stuff any organization can expect, so
get over it.
I'm thinking of the permanent restlessness that's built into being
church. The fact that Christ calls us
to care for the poor, speak out for
the oppressed and feed the hungry.
And most of all: to offer an unconditional welcome to all, regardless
of who you are or what you've done.
Phew, that's hard work for anyone,
no matter how you slice it. And not
only that, it doesn't look like it will
stop any time soon, either! Feeling
tired yet?
It's tempting to keep on going from
one cause to the next and the next,
because the need is so great and
there's always more we can do. But
you can only keep that up for so
long. After a while you'll run out of
steam and energy; and you'll feel
guilty for not doing much...
What did Jesus do in those cases?
He'd spend some time by himself,
away from any distractions. To pray.
To centre. To recharge those batteries. We have no idea what he
prayed. But we do know this: he
paused. I repeat: PAUSED. And
something good and energizing happened during that time of rest.
That got me thinking. We need to do
that, too. We need to take time and
reflect. Reflect not just on what is
ahead of us, but also on what's
behind us. Then take it one step further: take time to celebrate what has
been achieved. I repeat: CELEBRATE. Together with God.
The mellower season of summer is a
great opportunity to do just that. As
we shift into the (somewhat) more
relaxed summer mode, I'll be thinking of the things that are worth celebrating here at Pinegrove, but that
we almost forget about... That
young couple that's preparing to get
married... The older couple that just
had their 61st anniversary... The
new life that was born into a loving
family... The new members who
said, each in their own way: I feel
welcome and at home here, I want
to be part of this faith community...
The tender growth we are experiencing and the positive energy that
comes with it...
But also: the ever-surprising way I
see God's Spirit work in this
church... In the life-giving connections and friendships that form... In
laughing and eating together... In the
deep resilience and strong faith that
I witness after tragedy happens... In
page 14, The Oliver Paiponge News, June 2016
old wrongs forgiven and bonds of
friendship restored... In a bold new
outreach initiative that folks
embrace and want to see happen
(more about that next time).
And you know what? Until I took
the time to think back on all these
good things that have been happening right in front of my schnozzle, I
hadn't really noticed them the way I
do now. And I got to tell you, it sure
feels good!
God is actively present every day all
around us – not just in churches, but
literally everywhere. So celebrate
what has been achieved, feel good
about it! Throw a party, have a cake,
sing and dance, whatever turns your
crank. We're not really used to do
that, are we? So let's get used to it,
because without joy and celebration,
being a Christian feels suspiciously
much like "work". And who wants to
work? Add joy and celebration to it,
and it becomes a lifestyle, something
that gives your energy instead of
sucking it out of you.
So celebrate! Celebrate together
where you see the Spirit at work in
unexpected ways. Maybe just in a
few big things, but more likely in a
lot of little things. For in God's
realm, it's the little things that count;
it's the weak who will be strong and
the last ones who will be first. And
by celebrating these little unexpected things together, we will find the
courage and the energy to keep
doing our little bit of good where we
are. It’s those little bits of good put
all together that will overwhelm the
world.
Happy summer!
