East Wawanosh unveils township history book
A bigger and better East
Wawanosh township history book
was unveiled Sunday night at a
party in Belgrave for the volunteers
who helped bring the book about.
About 30 people who had helped
research, assemble and produce
Wilderness to Wawanosh were on
hand for a potluck dinner where
they got their first look at the book
which has been more than five
years in the making. Robert Char
ter, chairman of the committee said
the book is 100 pages larger than
originally expected with 250 more
pictures. The total weight of the
books is more than four tons and
there is $16,000 worth of paper
alone.
Because of the larger size, the

new banner for the church for a few
months. Materials were gathered
from the 5R's Thrift Shop, and with
lots of work by Leona Armstrong,
Bernice McFarlane, Cathy
Hallman, Trish Clarkson, and
several teachers a lovely banner
was completed with the caption
‘Don't let the clouds of life block
your view of the Son’. Peg
Aitchison wrote a special play
retelling the birth and life of Moses
and the Exodus. The children
performed this play in the morning
service. Definite highlights were
the lambs, the frogs, the flies, along
with solos by Crystal Semple and
Andrew Exel, and the crowd
pleaser, jazzy song “Paroah
Paroah”!
Throughout May, worshippers
will be greeted by Scott and Kendra
Cardiff, Lynda Shaw, Jamie and
Jeffrey White, Murray and Lynn
Armstrong and family and Cal and
Marg Krauter. Elders assisting in
May are Dave McCutcheon and
Brian Armstrong. Murray Arm
strong is head usher for the month.
The next big event for Melville is
the annual Maytime supper to be
held on Wednesday, May 27. The
ladies are busy preparing food and
selling tickets in anticipating of this
special event in the life of Melville.
price of the books will be increas
ing to $45 from $40 on June 16.
Until then copies can still be pur
chased at the old price. More than
500 books have been sold to date,
Mr. Charter said.
Volunteers will be on hand this
week at the East Wawanosh town
ship office in Belgrave to distribute
books that have been ordered and
sell more books. Volunteers will be
on hand from 2-4 and 5-7 on
Thursday and 2-4 on Saturday.
Mr. Charter thanked the town
ship council for getting the project
underway in the first place, the
many volunteers who had worked
long hours to make the book com
plete and thanked Health and Wel
fare Canada and the Ministry of
Culture and Communications for
grants of $12,000 and $2,000 to
fund the book.
Edith Vincent and Adrian Vos
moved votes of thanks for Mr.
Charter's work. "Without Robert I
don't know how we’d have done it,"
Mr. Vos said. "He's got all the fig
ures in his head. He kept us on the
straight line all the time."
Lori Jamieson, editor of the book
said the most emotional time for
her was in January when she was
visiting the printers and they took
her back to show her a sample of a
paper like the one to be used on the
Grand opening
After years of hard work, and months of anticipation, volunteers working on Wilderness to
Wawanosh, the history of the township, got their first peek at the book at a party Sunday in
Belgrave. Volunteers (left to right) Barry Elliott, Marian Hallahan, committee chairman Robert
Charter and Adrian Vos, chairman of the New Horizons group that sponsored the project, sort
out the boxes of books for those eagerly awaiting their copy. The book, much larger than
originally expected, will be increasing in price June 16. Until then the price remains at $40.
East Wawanosh book. Instead,
what was coming off the press was
the first 16-page section of the
book. In front of the hardened press
crew she started to cry.
She loo thanks many of the vol
unteers and presented small gifts to
them.
A special copy of the book was
presented by Marie Toll to Ms
Jamieson who in turn presented it
to East Wawanosh Reeve Ernie
Snell to be kept by the township.
Reeve Snell thanked everyone for
their contributions to the book.
