CARP – Corkery’s Dianne Bramble learned she was afflicted with Parkinson’s Disease in 2013. As April is Parkinson Awareness Month and April 11 is World Parkinson’s Awareness Day, Bramble wants those on the same journey to know, a diagnosis is not the beginning of the end.

CARP – Turn St. Patrick’s Day in to a full workweek by enjoying the season March 19 in Carp with Irish musical legends the Barley Shakers.

FITZROY HARBOUR – The West Carleton Fastball Committee has a big summer of top level fastball ahead of it, but first the volunteer group will work on fundraising, and they’ll do that by asking you questions on April 10.

CARP – Nothing says spring like Seedy Saturday. While weather reports more than three days out are for entertainment purposes

CONSTANCE BAY – Winter often brings a fine line between too cold and too warm. On Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) the sun was out, the weather was beautiful and it made fishing the Ottawa River an angler’s dream.

FITZROY HARBOUR – Softball in winter? Anything goes at the Fitzroy Harbour Winter Carnival kicking off Thursday (Feb. 19) evening.

PERTH – Earlier this month (Feb. 1), the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) released its latest film, Nature’s Path to Wellness, a testament to nature’s restorative power.

KINBURN – It was a scene straight out of the past from 45 years ago (at least for this reporter), as parents chatted in the Kinburn Community Centre ODR canteen and changeroom while kids bundled up and had a riot on the outdoor rink in very chilly weather.

CARP – The next Diefenbunker Artist in Residence will make it a baker’s dozen and it could be you.
