It has been a busy week and Thursday evening, we had the pleasure of listening to the music and vocals of Alex Charbonneau and Graham Murray Sears and surprise guest Dawn Charbonneau. We are absolutely thankful that they were able to celebrate Ontario Public Library Week with us by sharing their amazing talents. They are musicians, vocalists and songwriters! Thank you to all who came out to listen and enjoy a wonderful evening with these amazing people. We are hoping to do it again soon, so be sure to follow us!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What an exciting Coffee & Culture with Johanna! We learned about the new discovery of runestones in the Wawa area.<\/p>\n

The carving is an inscription and likely was written in futhark characters (a runic script which was used in northern Europe and Scandinavia). In 2019, arrangements were made by OCARE to have Dr. Williams and Loraine Jensen (President of the American Association for Runic Studies) visit the site with members of OCARE and our local Wawa historian Johanna Rowe.<\/p>\n

During the October visit, it was confirmed that the inscription was indeed a runic inscription, but was not Viking in nature, nor was it a hoax.\u00a0 According to Dr. Williams, the deeply carved runes represent a Swedish-language version of the Lord\u2019s Prayer. What an exciting discovery!<\/p>\n

The location is not being disclosed until proper precautions are taken to preserve the site and do further explorations. Thank you to everyone who attended. We had a wonderful audience and thank you to Johanna, for sharing this amazing discovery with us.<\/p>\n

We had a busy Tot Time on Wednesday morning! Thank you to our wonderful friends at Early ON and Jocelyn for joining us and reading to the little ones.

Join us for Tot Time on Wednesday mornings from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m.<\/p>\n

    At Cold Mountain Penitentiary, along the lonely stretch of cells known as the Green Mile, condemned killers such as ‘Billy the Kid’ Wharton and the possessed Eduard Delacroix await death strapped in ‘Old Sparky’. But good or evil, innocent or guilty, prisoner or guard, none has ever seen the brutal likes of the new prisoner, John Coffey, sentenced to death for raping and murdering two young girls. Is Coffey a devil in human form? Or is he a far, far different kind of being?<\/em><\/p>\n

    There are more wonders in heaven and hell than anyone at Cold Mountain can imagine and one of those wonders might just have stepped in amongst them.<\/em><\/p>\n
