On Saturday, a large fire in Temmiscaming, Que. destroyed eight row houses, basically a whole street. My cousin Louise said that the fire started around noon but spread rapidly, leaving eight families standing on the sidewalk. Very sad.
Pontiac Ouest Fire Services were kept busy on the weekend with two fires that took place in the mountain at Sheenboro. Following all burning rules is a must. It is very easy for a fire to get out of control especially with the dry weather we are experiencing.
Mass in Sheen will be at 11 a.m. this Sunday. St Paul the Hermit will be celebrating 100 years.
Some kind person dropped off nice dishes at the transfer site in Sheen. The set of ten has now found a home at Residence Meilleur. Beautiful.
